Now, here's today's program.
You are listening to subscriber-only content.
Chocolate great.
Friends, happy boys training camp.
I'm Dan McDowell.
I'm Jake K. I'm Blake Jones.
Foodie K is here as well.
Matt Grimm is here.
Matt Dallas.
T.C.'s around somewhere.
Cowboys practice today closed to the public.
Final day on the tennis courts, the famed tennis courts, behind a hotel.
And behind the tennis courts,
be the two giant practice fields.
Tennis courts very messy this morning.
I got the first-hand report from Christie Scales that it happened before 3 a.m.
Because after her Disney day, she went to Disney yesterday.
No surprises here.
She perhaps is a Disney adult.
I didn't get into it.
No, she may be an adult who goes to Disney.
and I don't mean to be pedantic here,
but Disney adults don't do anything else.
Do you know what I mean?
All of their vacation money.
They don't go to Broadway.
They don't go to Groundlings.
They don't go to...
Okay, clearly, yeah.
It's their identity.
Christy does a lot of bit.
But I guess it's...
That's what I'm saying.
She's here, and she's a traveler,
and she'll go do stuff.
And she has no kids.
There's plenty of...
That's why I called her a Disney adult.
Yeah, there can be Disney adults.
With kids?
No, no.
You don't know about this?
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, yeah.
That's why I'm labeling her perhaps unfairly, but people that go to Disney without kids, you're like, whoa.
Right, but Disney adults are like Crosswood people.
You're like, well, I'm not allowed to walk within 100 yards of a school.
You never have a question about it.
I guess I don't think they have to be mutually exclusive.
Disney adult is wearing Mickey Mouse ears and will maybe drag their kids.
No, that is not what people mean when they say that.
He's a cultured-educated man.
We're talking about people-
He's just a driver.
Only if you want to support us, Matt.
Pick up that mic.
Now he's a driver.
Big exception to that.
I do have a former neighbor that was a Disney adult.
And this could get tricky because T.C.'s wife, possibly a Disney adult who does have a child.
But I think it would be into Disney if she didn't have a child.
If they didn't have a child, she'd be there anyway.
But my point, though, is...
It's like saying someone wouldn't be racist if they're...
You know, like, she does have a child.
But was she not into it before?
I don't see the reason to answer that question, Your Honor.
I don't want to make this about her.
The point is, Dan started by saying she might be a Disney adult, I'm not sure, and I'm saying that's never the case.
I'm saying...
You'd be sure?
You would be sure.
Like that would, they'd wear it.
She's just a zest.
She has a lust for life.
So after Disney Day, she comes back here.
Yeah.
So she said she was having trouble uploading her whatever file they report something, you know, you know it.
I'll have to tell you.
uploading the show, uploading some kind of video files.
taking a long time from her room.
And she's like, well, here it is 3 a.m.
It won't load.
I got to get this out there.
Let's go out to the practice field because I know the cowboy internet is good out here.
So she came out here and saw, I think, a couple of raccoons scurrying away.
Was she still bounding or had she changed?
I don't even know what that means.
He's married to one, I guess.
Yeah, no, she's not.
He'll defend that to the death.
What is she?
Absolutely.
You're not allowed to do.
dress up as the characters because there's other people dressed up as the characters,
so they try to get as close as they can.
That's all bounding?
Uh-huh.
But his wife's not a Disney adult.
Okay.
It's good to know that it's raccoons because there are a lot of unhoused out here,
and there's a lot of food in these redoubt.
They're not getting past Cowboys Security Lady.
Uh, overnight.
You're getting anywhere you want.
You're a homeless person.
I bet there's an overnight person.
Of course there is.
It's the Cowboys facility here, dude.
Yeah.
I think you guys are underestimated.
homeless in the cover of night.
They move around like snakes.
You don't know they're there, but you move a rock.
My sources say if it's raining, they won't come out.
We did learn some information.
We might have had 1% or homeless.
But this bothers me, and during the break, I swear to God, I will clean all this up.
This is fucking crazy, dude.
This is Cowboys Training Camp.
So you don't feel that need when you're in our Airbnb, though.
I don't know.
There's a couple things.
This will be like country music, the country music fight.
There's a couple things that I'm not okay with you joking about.
I am a clean person.
He did clean up your sugar.
And so whatever you're talking about, the house in general is super clean.
It was one tiny sugar packet.
It was this big.
And then after that.
But he's right.
If we're going to the Super Bowl this year, we can't have that.
Can't have what?
Extra sugar?
Mess.
Yeah, mess.
We can't have little pieces of stuff.
Everything disorganized.
And I, somebody...
It's an odd choice, though, if you looked at that whole kitchen and would say,
Oh, look, Jake cleaned this one little area and all this other.
A piece of trash out there.
There's not an empty bottle, and partly because Dan's on top of the trash.
Everything is taking care of at that house.
Everything means everything.
And we're not going to have a Valentine's Day date with the Super Bowl if we have trash
in our facility on the ground.
Has he said it yet?
What his wife did?
Oh, that's right, with the kids or something.
Yeah.
What about the Valentine's?
What about the contacts?
What about my contacts?
Yeah.
Three, four days on that table?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I did take a picture of that, darn it.
Yeah, that's a tough one.
I meant to social media that.
And the tricky part is.
Just to say Jake is my teenage daughter.
This is what she just, she'll take her contacts off at night and just, they're all over her bedroom.
Like they're in the floor, they're on the desk, they're just, she has disposable contact.
There were two in the toilet last night.
But he has two on the living room.
Why would the toilet not be okay?
He was just jarring as I'm up for my midnight pee and like, what if he's that?
What if he did that?
Why would you waste a flush on context?
Oh, now this guy.
I'll pee multiple times.
Hugging trees out there.
California's in the drought.
Do you flush the toilet every time you, like, throw a tissue in it or something?
I don't.
I don't just throw shit in the toilet unless it's actual.
Like you blow your nose on a tissue and you put it in the toilet, you flush it?
Well, I throw that in the garbage.
Why would I throw it in the toilet?
I like throwing it in the toilet.
I got to.
Can I ask.
Why you're acting like an asshole right now?
Whoa, I just started telling the story about this.
My point is, is it weird to put a tissue paper in the...
I said I put it in the toilet, and you go, I put it in the trash can.
I just...
I'm used to...
I have a septic system, so I'm conscious of what I put in it.
I am asking because I don't know what's normal, and...
Okay, that seems like a normal reaction, not...
Oh!
Like, so what I'm saying is, I thought that by saying...
I'll sleep on the couch.
Like I'll be out here.
My daughter this morning is like, why are you not in a bed?
I'm like, I'm one of the guys still have a bed.
That I wouldn't hear things about my little homeless hobble.
No, I'm not talking about you.
Your bedmate did.
You're right.
You're right.
Yeah.
He apparently wanted you sleeping next to him.
And now I'm going to do it because I wasn't going to before.
Gloves are off.
Good.
We got license.
You might have just been a little under the influence.
It's okay.
the amount of social cues that can be missed in a house
like of this side like last night
I wanted to go to bed so bad
but I'm on the couch and there was I'm like
hey I'm going to turn this TV off Blake's like
I got to print a few things do whatever and I'm out
and I'm like okay turn it off Tc still editing something
without headphones and then
and then when he finishes up and he's like good night bro
and I'm like I bet bro good night I turn out
the light, 20 more minutes of him packing up cameras in the living room.
And I was like, in my head, I'm like, I swear to God, this can be done in the morning.
And now I'm doing breathing exercises to stay calm.
And I'm like, he's going to interpret that as me huffing and puffing and moaning.
Really, I'm just trying not to say anything.
But I'm listening to him like literally pack a full suitcase, snap cameras on, snap, pull,
and I'm like, holy shit, dude, it's 12.30.
I have to be up in four and a half hours so that I'm up when the kids go.
to school and can talk to him. We turned the lights off 15 minutes ago and he's packing.
I couldn't believe what I'm like, and I'm like, and there are two beds in our room and I'm not
sleeping in one of them so that he can have a bedroom, but he's out here. Someone was going to be
mad. I was incensed. And, you know, I just, I'm a lot more scared of Clayton than you. He's
meaner. He's nastier. And he would have been furious if he woke up and everything was
wasn't packed.
You could have got up.
I packed it then.
Let's be reasonable.
I was just thinking to myself, why is this being done?
And we were in like an hour of overtime of me, like being like, all right, boys.
Turned to, kind of kind of.
I had got all the pillows out of the bedroom.
I went and got my blankets.
I took my shirt off like 10 minutes later.
I was like, this has got to be a.
Someone going to notice that I want to go to bed?
The first cue was, you know, typically like the bowling alley, they'll play, like,
like closing time, as in like, hey, finish your game or leaving.
Jake switched from the local news to family feud.
The ultimate kneel down, dude.
I knew it was like, hey, y'all better you wrap up.
I'm going to leave this on for y'all.
Not this guy.
Wrap it up.
I don't want you acting like I'm dirty.
I really don't.
That's what I'm saying, is that the house has been very clean.
I apologize.
I did cross-all.
I don't want, yeah, I don't want to.
I didn't realize that was the one thing.
I'm allowed to be like, hey, Alki, what's up?
And you're like, yeah, cool, yeah.
On that note,
But if I call you dirty...
I want to bring back the no puppet drop.
Oh, the...
After the break.
That you potentially were drinking on this night?
No puppet.
We were pretty open about that one.
I want to bring that back.
If it's been in my head...
Why?
I just been saying it.
Do you think I stopped it
because I was worried about your feelings about the...
No, but...
I think I just stopped it.
It was just organic.
I think it was organic.
We used to do it and...
But it's been a long enough time and I miss it.
That would happen on the station all the time.
Yeah, okay.
Stop doing.
something, but I'm not a board out.
It does make me feel better. It's still on his array.
Like, he never deleted it.
Oh, it's sitting right there.
It's brown.
He knows where it is.
I don't know if people know that, but back in the day,
I'm sure they still take advantage of this.
I'd like to think that I,
in some way, took this to another level,
but I definitely didn't pioneer it.
But we would color code all of our,
a lot of our drops by race.
So on the array, if you went D-on, you find a black drop.
If you want the some-ting wall,
You find a yellow drum.
You want Corby.
Oh, C, C, C, that one's going to be a little reddish-brown color up here.
All the norm drops had like a specific color.
Purple.
Yeah, they actually were.
Purple?
That was a great color.
That's one time.
Hey, we do have to give a little love to plum quick.
They're like, hey, don't throw paper towels in the toilet.
Actually, maybe they want you to because then you'll need to call 469-9-331-6.
That's our title sponsor for us being out here at training camp.
So let's give a little applause.
It's football season with puddle pools.
Plum Quick.
Excuse me.
I put the puddle pools next.
That's all right.
Puddle Pools is one of the three P's on camp sponsorship.
Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, Plum Quick.
Plumquick Company.com.
They got that annual membership.
Lock in the annual.
Lock in the annual with us and then lock in it.
You know, get your priorities in order here.
But Plum Quick, it is.
It's about plumbing, like toilets, sinks, showers.
Yeah, no, if you just want a healthy alternative to an apple or a banana, but you want it now, this is not.
They missed the boat on that, but their next idea was plumbing.
That's plumquickcom.com without the bee.
If you go there, you can instantly, they'll get it to your house.
We need to do this.
I used to do this all the time, to speak just ticket tails in the control room.
Do you want to do a plum?
We just had fake spots.
A spot for the Plum Service?
I had a whole company called American League Detection with Danny,
but all it would do is tell you if a player ever played in the American League.
That's great.
Exclusively, you know.
Also Parlay Collective and Puddle Pools.
Parlay Collective, our marketing agency.
Yeah.
Puddle Pools.
Pools.
Yeah, I don't, I'm sorry.
I don't have a picture of all the people that work at Plum Quick.
I do for the Parley Collective.
I like to show that.
People are more.
more likely to go to parlay collective.com.
One quick story from two,
from both my home, home front and here.
Home home front for about a week.
I guess it was when I was in Oklahoma City.
My wife was telling me,
I think there's something dead in the garage.
I'm like, well, I think you would know.
Oh, no.
It's your mother-in-law.
It's embedded in the windshield.
Jake was driving home.
I was the cowboy.
boy, Dwayne Goodrich or something.
I think I messed that up every time.
But in any case, I got home and I couldn't smell anything.
And then I leave again.
She's like, I think it might be in my car.
Is that a wife thing?
My wife is always like, man, the garbage really stinks.
They have more sensitive smell.
No, I have not noticed that at all.
Yeah.
Okay.
So they need to smell when you're ready to go, you know?
Okay.
Absolutely.
So my stepdad went down.
I was going to check it out while we were gone.
He's like, there's nothing in your car.
So she found out last night that we got an outdoor freezer for Christmas like a year
and a half ago, and it's been unplugged, apparently, and everything in there rotted.
Dude.
I didn't have half a cow.
It's your own Boyle Heights.
But it's pretty bad.
Pretty bad.
And she's like, hey, I went out there.
How long has it been unplugged?
You still know?
I bet it's been a week.
Okay.
I bet it's been at least a week.
and it wasn't full, but it's disgusting.
So that's waiting on me on the way home.
On the home front out.
A lot of Yaso bars?
It'd be impossible.
You're going to have 100 mounds of dog poop in your backyard when you get back.
I've, uh...
Oh, yeah, because you're the cleaner, right?
I've heard that she's been doing her level best to keep it at bay.
But I think she probably does one or two a day and gets grossed out.
The problem is there are five or six, and most of it's not solid.
And your dog's giant.
I'll just, you know, you get home, you put on the...
You need to feed them like RFK.
get them smooth poos.
So this morning, this is the second week of camp.
I think the only radio show doing two weeks of camp, by the way.
Put it on the mantle.
Which means that everything goes from like a four to at least an eight or a nine.
And the lady across the street was leaving to take her son, her older son.
He's like 18 or 19 probably.
He looks like he could use a little guidance.
Yeah, yeah.
step that action.
So they're getting in the car, and she's like a California attractive blonde mom.
And Dan had come out.
Super attractive.
Dan had come out to go, the two of us.
And he's like, oh, I forgot.
I need to pack my bag to give to the traveling party.
And we were like up against time to go or whatever, but we have plenty of time.
This is chill.
And so he's like, it's cool if I just go back in.
And I'm walking around the front of the car.
And I go, you're fine.
and she was looking right at me.
And because I turned and she was standing out in the street,
putting her trash bag out, and I go, you're fine.
And then she looked at me, and I go, that was for him.
And it was so awkward, man.
She kind of gave me the little, you're disgusting, leave my neighborhood.
They know we don't belong there.
So you're out of the competition.
I've been ruled out.
That's nice.
No, she bushwhacked me quick.
So I am in charge.
I will just take the man.
of trying to be in charge of garbage.
I put out the garbage cans last night
because I noticed all the neighbors
had their garbage cans out.
Respect.
And then this morning,
there's a house two down from us
where there was some people on the balcony,
a lady and her son,
and they were ooing and eyeing.
Did you see them?
They were ooing and eyeing
because the garbage truck was on the street.
And I've just witnessed it in real life.
Like you said, you do this with your son.
Yeah.
Like you'll watch the garbage.
truck.
And they were just excited to watch it go all the way up the street and all the way, like,
oh, every time.
Every dump of every recycle bin was just like it was the first time he'd ever seen it.
I told our boys in the van, that kid has the ocean 200 yards away.
And it's still enamored with a garbage truck.
Hydraulic compact, yeah.
Yeah, that should be like the new fireworks.
They have cool ones out here, too.
It doesn't scare you.
They have what?
They have cool ones out here.
That's one thing when you get into thrash and trash productions
and their entire suite of videos,
you start to pick up on like the regional,
like, oh, that's a Washington, that's cool.
Kind of just seems like a trash truck to me.
Well, I will not criticize your cleanliness.
I'm sorry.
I love having contact lenses on the table.
But I will say that I was right
that there's going to be an uneaten frozen pizza
left in that Airbnb.
It's possible.
You get excited night one and you don't realize, man, there's fish taco that every great
food you could have is right around here.
I'm not trying to shoot all your bits down, but I'm going to.
I would spite eat all of that and kind of intended to, but we accidentally bought a pizza
with onions on it.
We ate the pepperoni one.
Oh, okay.
That pizza also would have been gone last night had it not been garlic chicken.
That's the thing.
I bought a chicken one because I was trying.
trying to mix it up, but it was onions, and it's disgusting.
I don't want it.
It was like a store.
It's five bucks.
We might have to eat it, but most everything else in there.
No, we've done good on the fridge.
I can show you that I made a pizza because I burned my thumb.
I'm oven.
Oh, no.
I saw Yaso bar empty boxes, so I think Jake was clearing those out.
We'll finish.
Remember, he's real ice cream guy now.
Well, I think.
I had one.
You did.
I did.
All right.
Out of the six boxes, I probably had four boxes myself.
Oh, wow.
I took down one.
Look like most the government-approved protein bars have been consumed in there.
Yeah, what is our...
Yuka.
I'm not scanning that.
I want to feel good about eating that.
It's better than...
Well, it's better than you think.
Better than the alternative.
I thought I made some headway with our frozen yogurt lady down the street.
there's like a little
I don't know
it's just frozen yogurt right on the beach
it's wonderful
it's your second favorite place here
I believe yeah
it's the same
girl behind the counter I think
every time we're here
and this year
I hit her with
you get two toppings in a small
I get cookie dough for both toppings
if you put all of the cookie dough on top
all the cookie dough is gone in the first quarter
of your frozen yogurt
so I asked
her politely, well, you put the first half of the cookie dough on the bottom, then throw the
frozen yogurt on it, then the rest of the cookie dough.
Yeah, an artiste.
Yeah.
She's going to remember me.
She seemed amazed.
You know what you need is, I think in a lot of times like that, you need another cup.
Like, what if you could just mix it?
Yeah.
As you go?
Yeah.
That does sound nice.
That's one of the things I don't like about snow cones.
That's not necessarily a first down, though.
because I feel like I was thinking about my daily routine out here,
which is wake up, you know, 6.30 to 7, Dallas time.
Get up, take a walk to get my weak coffee.
But in fact, been wearing my puddle pools.
We give puddle pools another shout out.
They have a good hoodie.
So puddle pools, if you would like a monthly pool cleaning or weekly,
I should say, pool cleaning.
and the chemicals and all that,
or if you like really cool hoodies,
they could hook you up with that.
My guess is if you ask nicely.
I guess, you know.
Anyway, though, I walk with my...
Because it's very chilly in the morning.
You got to wear long pants and sweatshirt.
That's the thing about California that you don't think...
Did you bring a jacket or anything warm?
No.
Okay, because my first trip out here, I didn't,
and I had to buy a jacket.
At James Taylor's Taylor?
A couple weeks later, years later, I bought a James Taylor jacket.
I bought three or four jackets out here.
Dude, one time I was sitting right here on a Sunday morning at 6 a.m.
for a shake joint with no jacket.
And you could hear me chattering through the air.
Yeah, you don't think about it because you're going to California and it's usually beautiful.
But yeah.
Anyway, so I'm wearing my hoodie on it.
I go to the gas station.
I get one cup of coffee, a big,
the giant.
And then I get another empty cup to hold it like a sleeve.
Yeah.
And then when I get home, I pour half of that cup into the empty cup
and fill it with hot water.
And I end up getting two cups of coffee.
For the price of one.
For the price of one.
Yeah, I like that.
First down.
It's pretty good.
The bit I see that I don't have the balls for, there's some guy on TikTok.
He's kind of like mafia-coded, so maybe this is how he gets away with it.
But when he goes to Starbucks and he gets like a venty drink, he asks for no ice.
Oh, yeah, I do that.
And then he asks for a cup of ice.
Yeah.
Oh, because that then the ice takes away like a quarter of the...
Right.
Yeah.
What you're doing is good, but they're still having to expend the same amount of coffee.
But if you can get one over on Starbucks, like fill the whole thing up.
Yeah, that's why if you get a...
It literally fills two whole cups at that point.
If you get a taller or grande in the menu, you can say put it in a vinty cup.
And so then they'll just kind of get carried away, filling that thing up,
and then you've got a bigger coffee.
Oh, my God, this guy just has tricks that are ancient.
On today's program, we will have our...
Not every run is a first down, but it is all a part of establishing the run.
That's right.
We're having the Dumb Zone triplets.
Yeah.
We will have the current modern day, like when history,
is retold 20, 50 years from now.
Yeah.
They will talk about the triplets,
and you'll hear of Aikman and Emmett,
and then they'll go to this era,
and it will be Brandon Aubrey,
Brian Anger, and Trent Seek.
And that's kind of what everything is built around,
and they will be on with us later today on the program.
That's why they're available.
They're kind of, well, done and dusted here.
Yeah.
They're aiming for like 10 minutes from now.
I wanted to interview you guys.
Really?
Okay.
Oh, they're going to show up?
Cool.
That'd be cool.
Matt Grimm, what's your plan?
So Matt Grimm is, I don't want to just say he's the driver, but he is driving.
One of my many roles.
Chief Logistics Officer.
Back to Dallas.
And it's just interesting that I think the plan is that you're leaving like from here, from camp.
You're not even going back to the Airbnb.
Correct.
We're leaving from the plane.
parking. Yet we have the Airbnb for another night. You could say, wow, I could just relax in California, enjoy some beach.
Sleep. Maybe look at the trash truck, sleep. One more burrito?
Nothing wrong with that. Okay. But I feel like it's your intense, competitive nature.
It was making you leave. We've got to beat you back to the bed.
His whole bit is he wants to leave now. Can I beat a flight that's to-mobile?
tomorrow.
Yes.
That will get us back in Dallas, I think, around 530 or 6.
Yeah, we're going to be, we might land before you take off.
We might land before you take off.
That's your goal.
That's likely.
Did you see his grift over here yesterday?
He's transporting burritos back home.
Go on.
What are we talking about?
Yeah, I buy burritos at the end, put them on ice, and bring them home.
From Spencer McKinsey's.
This time I did not do Spencer McKinsey's because I'm going to be back out here in 10 days for another week.
Yeah.
California style.
Yeah, so I got some Corales as burritos.
A little special treat that's diagonal across the street from Spencer.
What do you get?
Green chili, green pork chili and some red chicken chili.
But you have a cooler full of burritos to take home?
Yes.
I love it.
That's great.
I love all of it.
I love the.
getting out of here.
He's got stuff to do, man.
Well, and I guess you are coming back pretty soon and all that kind of stuff.
Yeah, these guys want to get home.
Yeah.
I feel like Clayton's probably been on that vibe since about day zero,
so I don't know if he wants to hang out another day.
And if T.C.'s life is anything like mine, it's a living hell right now.
I would think T.C. would want to stay, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, T.C.'s not in charge of leaving.
No.
No.
Just like the families are so cool about this.
That's what's so fun about it is everyone's just really...
You're working.
My wife wants me to stay another day, but that's a different story.
Yeah.
No, I've gotten a lot of questions about why I'm not coming home.
You are working, though.
I mean, that's what some people don't get.
I mean, it's a busy day if you're here early,
and then practice goes till 6.30, Dallas time,
and then you're trying to get bits done and all that.
That's a long day.
It's not hard.
We're not on a roof.
No.
We are outside.
But, yeah, yeah, no, it's a long day.
And I think I was, I don't know, I'll talk to Brandon about it a little bit.
I think people tend, I think people hit him up in the same way.
And it's happened for, you know, however long I've been coming out here with the ticket,
people that you kind of know that live a couple hours away or something will be like,
hey, let's hook up.
And like, well, I don't, there's, sometimes there's really not a lot of time to do that.
Staying the weekend really does help.
Yeah, I could only play Xbox with my son once this trip.
Dude, that touches my heart in a very soft way.
I'm so happy.
I love looking at that.
Just because I remember calling my daughter at that age,
and it's a very cool thing, good night or whatever.
But if I could have put on a headset and now you get to shoot people together,
and you're teaching them about death and war.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's that.
But Jake and I have talked about this.
He calls you the F-slur.
He's like a little Tom Brennaman.
Listen, we're just hanging out, all right?
If you call them and say, how is your day?
Fine.
Oh, that doesn't work, yeah.
Right.
What'd you learn at school?
Nothing.
I asked Nora what the top stories were.
Sure.
But if we're on...
Frame it different.
If we're on Xbox, if we're playing,
he will answer every single one of my questions.
He'll unprompted tell me stuff.
Like, if you're just hanging out, he'll talk.
So it's kind of...
It's fun for me.
Don't get me wrong.
but it's also a manipulation of saying,
let's hang out, let's talk.
It's very cool to see.
It doesn't seem that fun.
I don't know if he's talented of players you were hoping.
It is funny to watch Blake be like,
where are you?
Get to the top of the hill.
I sit at the top.
Yeah, he's like yelling at him.
He's not playing.
We're dying down here.
I just need to direct him.
We're playing King of the Hill,
so I need you in the Hill.
I don't need you off scurrying around
to find a perfect weapon.
I'm in the trenches.
I need your hill.
Come revive me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I'm a warthog.
Why are you in the warthog?
I need to keep his focus.
Hey, focus.
Please.
Respect.
We're here to do a job.
Somehow, that reminds me the other day, the Orlando Scandric Madden story popped across my timeline.
Somebody beat a kid bad and Madden recently.
You said you're kind of worried about soccer.
Oh, yeah.
For that reason.
Yeah.
And I've been beating my kid in video games and everything for a while because I don't want that to happen.
Yeah, I've started trying.
I put the soccer game on like as hard as it can go so he stops winning because we're about to start real soccer and I need him to start losing so that he doesn't, so he gets the experience of it, right?
And he's played Bifa.
But anyways, the Scandric Madden story was he went to cancer hospital and beat a kid like by 50 or 60 points.
He was going for two.
He was onside kicking.
And this NFL.com story afterward has a quote from him.
Again, he's at a children's hospital.
Kid has cancer, nine-year-old.
Skandrick said, nothing is going to be given to you,
so I don't think I should have given him anything.
100%.
I made him better, if anything.
If they don't want you to go for two and to do onside kicks,
it wouldn't be on the game.
So true.
And what did the kid most want that day to win or to see greatness?
To really up close know how the game is played at the highest level.
I think that's the greatest gift to give them.
Wish fulfilled.
You need that character in the slot.
I agree.
Him and Jordan Lewis.
We need Caleb Downs to have a little bit in it.
A dog.
You want to do some camp stuff?
Sure.
I was just thinking about we were talking with T.C.
the other day about the time that Dallas Mavericks player Justin Anderson played him in Madden.
And it was at the AAC, like outside in the plaza, they put up the video.
So they were just sitting there playing.
And there was like a Star Power TV on the line.
And T.C. was like either an intern or the lowest paid guy at the station at the time.
And he's playing for a TV against a Dallas Maverick.
And I just assumed, well, no matter what happens today,
T.C. will walk away with that TV because, no, the Dallas Maverick won and then
grabbed the TV and put it under his arm and just left.
Like I would have thought.
Right.
I've never begrudging for that.
How about you didn't give it to the intern guy, the kid?
He's like a kid.
He clearly has nothing.
And he's T.C.
Like he was, you know, it all looked.
And yeah.
I'd say TZ's life has worked out better.
My big memory from that was the final play.
Like he won on a field goal.
I had the lead.
He was driving with 20 seconds left or whatever.
And there was a play, his final play before the field goal,
it looked like he got tackled in bounds.
At the end, at the end, it was out of bounds.
The clock did stop.
But he thought it was in bounds.
So he was telling me to take a timeout because he was out of timeouts.
Huh.
In what world?
Is someone going to be like, oh, yeah, I just want to see if you make this kick.
You know, for sporting reasons.
Just go ahead.
So you weren't going to do it?
Absolutely not.
Because he thought.
Well, that's why he took the TV then.
He's like, I'm a pro.
Like I said, I do not begrudge him whatsoever.
He'll do anything I want because he probably worships me.
He thought that, but if he had been in bounds, he would have found out ruthless.
All right, what do we have from camp out here?
Well, a couple things.
So the other day, I think it was a day before the scrimmage.
We were out here, and TC and I saw a, there's a lot of people that are famous or rich, but you don't know how or why.
Could be one or the other.
Could be both.
There's a lot of people that look like, I don't know, like 80-year-old art-type people.
They're here.
They're fast to say, like, guest of Charlotte Jones.
Yeah, maybe they're one of the people that have it in the stadium.
It's possible.
If you put a painting in the stadium, you get to come and watch camp.
They probably know a bunch of people out here.
But there was a small Latino man walking around who had like a crew with him and like a film crew.
And I saw the Cowboys put out this video.
I saw the guy walk up to Jake Ferguson and they were like taking pictures.
And he was like five, four.
And you figured out who the guys?
I thought he was like a make-a-wish type thing because he's like a really small-ish-looking.
kid.
And so then I saw the Cowboys put up this video.
And they thanked, what is the guy's name?
How did the, they put it on here?
Chinito Pacas.
And I clicked on his Twitter, and he's got 2,000 followers.
And I was like, what is this?
But that's because that's Twitter.
On Instagram, he's got over a million followers on YouTube.
He has two million.
million followers, this song has 266 million views.
It kind of goes, to be honest with you.
This is one of the most popular songs in the world.
And we got to see him.
El Gordo Trey El Mando, which means like the fat man or the big man is in charge.
This song has, this video has 266 million views then.
This kid was just standing right here.
And the video
And you couldn't be less impressed
With the fact that you're standing there
His music video
His music video sounds like that
It's like cool, old school
Like Mexican Tejano
Instruments
But the video
That I found with 266 million views
Starts with an image it says
Warning
Any props used in this video
That show resemblance to any illegal materials
Are merely props
And should not be taken seriously
Don't try this at home
Because the whole
video is just them
holding giant
bags of pot, guns
and smoking.
Like, look at this bag of wheat, dude.
But it's fake gun. They want us to know it's a fake
gun and fake weed.
There's no chance that's fake weed, right?
They said it was.
They said it was. So this dude
was out here and they let him
put on a uniform.
And Jerry walk, I'll play you a little bit of this.
Put on a uniform. Like, what do you mean by
Dude, he's wearing a cow...
Pads?
Yeah.
He's got pads on.
He's got pads on.
He's got a helmet.
Why?
You can hear Jerry.
You look good at that number.
Oh, there comes shoddy.
I'm part of the team.
Gino, I thought you were our new kicking prospects.
Oh, no, no, no, we don't hear that.
A pleasure.
Great to have you with vicaros to Dallas.
So anyways, he got to, he did a cleat thing.
He did a jersey.
He was walked, dapped up, Ferg.
Can you imagine the people that they've run Jerry?
Jerry just trusts his people to know, like, if you're going to introduce me to somebody,
they probably have 600 million news, right?
The top artist in every language just gets to meet Jerry at some point.
And it's like I saw the one player I picked him out.
I didn't know this player was on the team until Christy mentioned.
She's like, they signed the.
the first Navajo ever or something?
Yeah, we've talked about it.
But I'm just saying that's, they do this every year, right?
They had the...
Look at him, look at me.
Huh?
He asked if I was proud.
Oh.
That is the, the, there was a time of my life where I'm like, I'm going to see if I can run this play for college.
And my parents were like, well, we're not real sure how all this college stuff works.
So you've put Navajo?
I remember it's not enough.
That's how you find out.
Okay.
but, you know, your family's telling you, no, no, we're, uh, we're legit.
You're like, well, here's where the rubber meets the road.
But in any case, they love it.
Yeah, they love that that guy's here.
They love the guy from Mexico, the player that they had.
Right.
Who never had a chance to make the team.
But he's a body.
But it's an extra, it's an extra camp body, too.
They get a free one, right?
Right.
They get 91.
Yeah, because you're in the NFL program of helping out people who aren't here.
Yeah, to stump for my program again.
They need to do a ton of this, and they need to focus on it on game day.
If every Cowboys game included a playing of the Mexican National Anthem
and Latino-themed videos throughout, that place would go nuts.
He went a few years ago and actually set in the 400s and came back afterward
and was like, we don't have a fan problem.
We have a, we're misallocating the Mexicans problem.
Like the stadium up there is an absolute party.
They have a mariachi band now.
Last year, good stuff.
And last year they did start.
Like, they should play a game with, like, a red, white, green stripe.
Having a mariachi band, is that like if we were to play Henry Mancini at a white person's event?
No, that's the same as what I was saying last night.
It feels racist for me to say that I love having my son taken care of by Latinas,
but only a white person would think that's racist.
They love it.
And you know what else they love?
Mariah bands.
Like they're not
You sure?
I'm positive
Okay
They take pride in this
Like
Because like you like rap
But what if
Hey look
The white guy came in
And you send the polka band over
And it is
Because that's what they know
About white culture
Kind of fun
Yeah
You probably would like that
Yeah I think
Polka is fun
This is why you should get pedicures
Bad example
That's a dumb thing to say
No it's not
Nobody's worried about this stuff
Nobody
They love it
They want to clean
They want to get that
They want to get that
They don't
They like having a job in America, and they like to talk shit about you the entire time you're sitting there, as is they're right.
So it's okay to go to the place that Robert Kraft went?
I mean, they're too far.
They're here in America.
I think you know.
I think that's 100% okay.
They're making way better money doing that.
Some regulation might be nice.
I don't want anybody trafficked.
But I know what number to call in case I'm in an airport bathroom.
It's like, why would that?
Anyways.
There was a Clayton Adams and a Christian.
Parker Press Conference yesterday.
We'll go CP first.
And his are never, these are not going to be funny.
It's Christian Parker.
This guy is a, he's a robot.
And now we're four or five days out from the preseason game and all the film nerds
have had a chance to do their thing.
Did you think about asking him a question?
I thought with him right over there that there'd be something you'd like to know about.
No, because, oh, look at this, there goes Blake.
I didn't because I don't want to upset, you know.
Don't you think Tad would look over like, what are you doing?
If you asked a question, no.
I do.
Like if you asked from here?
Well, if I set up there just randomly, not, I haven't been around the team.
No, you just hold up your hand, give your affiliation.
No, he's, he'd be fine with it.
You're a member of the media.
That's what we're here for.
Well, had I...
That's just not what we usually do, yeah.
I might have asked...
But yeah, you'd be fine.
Oh, I don't know if I'm able to play this.
Let's see if it plays.
When you interview the jobs, either position coaches or the sports
in the last couple of years, was age ever mentioned to you and brought up at all?
From the people.
I think that's a great question.
I want to know what kind of questions they ask in interviews always.
He doesn't mean just the Cowboys then.
Right, right.
Yeah, just over.
As Christian Parker will say in a lot of these answers over the summer,
I've only ever been young.
So like every job he's had, he's like, I don't know because I've only ever been the young new guy.
Yeah.
So I thought that was a really good question.
Yeah, I think it comes up in the realm of like, you know, how do you deal with players older than you, you know, and kind of how to those?
Even that I think is interesting.
Like the GM being like, hey.
Why am I going to listen to this guy?
Right.
Exactly.
Who are you?
How do you do with players older than you, you know, and kind of how do those things go?
Again, you know, I don't know anything else because I've always been young.
So it's not like I have a, you know, maybe I'll be able to answer that, you know, in 20 years or so.
But, yeah, sometimes it comes up.
And I think that, you know, at the end of the day, players want you to be able to help them get better.
And they want to know that you care about their development and you care about winning.
And I think that no matter what your age is, that's all that matters.
You know, if they know that you can connect with them, if you can help them improve their game,
and we can help each other win games together, then that's all that matters.
That's a good answer.
Yeah.
He's very dialed.
Yeah, I like, that is interesting, though, because I don't know, you were probably this too, but I, hell, up until the time I left the ticket, we were still among the youngest hosts.
Yeah.
You know, even though I'd be an older host on another radio station, but I was always the youngest guy at whatever radio station I was at.
Yeah, and it might feel weird to kind of compare, but I think that.
that it's applicable across jobs, right?
If you are someone who's considered a talented employee
or a promising employee young,
you do have to navigate certain,
there might be people that are there
that think they should have gotten the job instead of you.
There's going to be people who think,
not just in the industry, but in the room, you know,
who are like, well, yeah, for sure.
And that, you know, you have to,
but you need the,
although I don't think need.
because I believe they blew everyone out on the defensive side of the ball.
Maybe at other stops, you know, oh, Golden Boy, right?
Or, oh, it's, you know, Dan can get away with anything.
Who was the Brown?
Jim Schwartz.
Yeah.
Quit the Browns last year because of that very thing.
Right.
Didn't get the head job.
He didn't get the head coaching job.
He felt he clearly deserved it, and he just walked.
He was the D.C.
Probably left it a good time, too.
Lots of.
lost Miles Garrett.
Ink being spilled.
Yeah, lots of ink being spilled on Christian Parker.
The breakdowns from Sunday or Saturday's game are awesome.
I feel like just sitting out here.
And listen, I'm not Bob.
I never was, but I'm also not what I once was when it comes to watching ball.
I don't spend as much time on this as I used to.
But I cannot stress to you enough how boring the Cowboys have been on both sides of the ball,
for the most part, for 20 years.
They've had a lot of talent.
but you didn't have to do a whole lot of scheming Des Bryant open.
They were throwing him the same three routes, you know.
Kellan had a little bit of a juice.
Dan Quinn had Micah, but for the most part, schematically,
they have always been as down the middle as possible.
And you just watch practice out here.
You watch the preseason game.
People are excited because it looks different.
But on the other side of the ball, we've already had a year to see how this works.
Clayton Adams last year installed the run game.
he didn't call plays.
This year he installed the past game,
so he's designing that.
Shotty will still call plays.
There's a big article in the athletic this morning about Clayton Adams.
He's, dude, the guy's,
the polar opposite from Christian Parker in personality,
in that he is, he's an offensive lineman.
And if you were ever around football,
most of those guys are the funniest guys on the team,
the driest sense of humor
usually the most
like sailor-mouthed
they put out a miced up the other day
with Clayton Adams
it was a week or so ago
and it's like six minutes long
and in the first minute
the first 10 seconds
he walks up to Pickens
and he's like hey I'm miced up
probably the only two motherfuckers out here
they should never mic up
so I'm going to tell you
and Pickens just like runs off
so then I'm listening to the press conference
yesterday and there's a question
asked that reference
to the miced-up.
So I'll play you this from the Clayton Adams' miced-up.
He's standing with all the offensive coaches.
So the quarterback's coach, Shemko, now Will Greer,
offensive assistant.
He used to be a camp body quarterback.
And this is where they're realizing that Clayton Adams is miced up.
Don't cut that.
Oh, shit.
We got the cameras on.
Cameras on.
You mic'd up, she?
Yeah, Shemp.
That's Clayton Adams.
Yeah, Shams fucking miced up.
Cameras on.
You mic'd up, Shams?
Yeah, Shams'n't mic'd up.
Piece of shit, didn't tell anybody.
Oh, my dad.
Do you know that a secret mic'd up
is a $1,000 fine
and $100 donation to the hot dog fridge?
Okay.
That's awesome.
A couple things to note there.
Yeah, you got to let everybody know
it's a $1,000 fine.
Yeah.
A $100 donation.
to the hot dog fridge.
So that's something I recently saw some
something about online, but I don't know
what that is. The hot dog fridge.
They followed up.
And then I was watching the mic that thing.
I think I might have heard it, right? Maybe not.
That's the hot dog fridge.
Well, it's something that I'm working on here.
You know, kind of in the back of my mind
is, you know,
how can you really have a break room or a snack room
if you don't have a hot dog fridge, you know?
And if you're going to have a hot dog fridge,
you've got to have high-quality hot dogs in.
it. And if you're going to have high quality hot dogs in it, we've got a brioche buns and maybe
some pretzel buns. So these are all things that we're working on. Maybe an industrial-sized 7-11
hot dog roller. I don't know. I don't know. But these are just things I roll around in the back of my
mind. There's more, but.
So Clayton moaned with delight when he heard maybe I'll have an industrial-sized 7-11
hot-dog roller. I can't think of much more disgusting. But I do like the idea.
of what it's very um what was that show we were watching oh where mini me like just bought a soda
fountain or something right right it's like once i can have the money all right i'm just
going to get one of those hot dog rollers in my house yeah it's the most offensive lineman thing
i've ever heard but also they he said high quality hot dogs like is that an oxymoron are all
hot dogs this guy's out of the game too long
but he doesn't eat meat, so we shouldn't expect him.
That's what I'm saying.
I thought hot dog is poor.
It's not, no one would ever.
Well, I think probably it depends on.
Like, don't yucah, hot dog.
It depends on how you define hot dog.
Like, is every...
Isn't it all the stuff left over on the floor from the good meat?
It doesn't have to be.
No.
Here comes big hot dog.
There's so much in the hot dog world that you don't know about anymore.
Yeah.
And they're doing high quality.
I had a waggoo hot dog the other day.
That's the thing.
That was amazing.
But that's the thing.
It's like growing up.
Can I get a salmon hot dog?
You can probably get some awesome veggie hot dogs that you would not care if they were on a roller.
But like if you're when you're growing up and your grandfather like German part, we put a Bratwurst in a roll.
Is this a hot dog?
Yes.
Then if it is, then that's what I'm saying.
You got a lot of options.
These hot dogs are here are.
Kibasi, is that a hot dog?
Everybody knows what that is a different stock?
It's a sausage.
Okay.
So I think that's what, and he got into it.
I'll get me a different type of sausage.
When he mentioned the bun.
Brioch, you know?
Yeah.
You can upgrade that.
Things that we're working on, maybe an industrial size.
Things that we're working on.
I got a few things.
I don't know.
I don't know.
But these are just things I roll around in the back of my mind.
I don't like a sponsorship deal.
What you put on your app, no.
All right.
Oh, now we're going to.
He also, I think this gets confusing.
Good question.
Todd Arch.
He's good at this.
He's on fire.
Yeah, he will, he'll follow up and he'll get in depth on you.
I like that.
I think Clayton Adams misspeaks here, and it makes it very confusing.
He says the word mayonnaise when I think he means relish.
I love mayonnaise on a hot dog.
It's weird.
It wasn't until I was older that I found out people elsewhere in the world do it.
And when it was introduced to me, I was like, oh, this is fire.
And then you learn that they do of different ways all over the world.
Like in Chile, they have one called a Completo, where they put like, it's like guacamole or avocado spread and like cherry tomatoes and on the French bread with the sausage.
In any case.
Don't they have a hot dog that's injected with cheese?
Have you seen that?
Sure.
Okay.
Sure.
As if like when I was a kid.
I remember they did that when I was a kid.
Oh, all right.
Yeah.
You know, I am, I'm a huge fan of just mayonnaise, mustard, and pickles.
I don't think he meant to say that.
Let's see, though.
And then one of the things I learned from going to Disneyland with my kids,
because I was trying to steam the bun, I was trying to toast the bun,
and the guy at Disneyland goes, no, man, put it in the bun and wrap it in foil,
and let the hot dog steam the bun.
It's been revolutionary.
It does make the bun soft, yeah.
I'm not a mayonnaise guy.
Yeah, so someone heard him say mayonnaise.
and just said mayonnaise?
I'm not a mayonnaise guy, yeah.
No, no mayonnaise for me.
I'm from America.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, he did say it then.
So I think he just meant like ketchup mustard, whatever.
But in any case, Scott Linnehan could never.
No.
Jason Garrett, get out of my face.
I got a big point.
Line coaches are traditionally, yeah.
Wasn't that Cleveland Brown's guy with the big fat belly?
Oh, of course.
The line, the offensive line coach?
I think those boys at World War II were fucking stretching.
Do we ever get him on the show?
No, I don't think we did.
We got the funny...
I thought we had a line on him.
We might have had a line on him, but...
Yeah, I'm very excited.
I'm very, very excited.
It's different.
No, we've talked about it before.
The whole...
Just how weird it is that Shottie was hired seemingly in the worst way.
You did not do a comprehensive service.
you knew who his dad was and you liked his mom and he felt very comfortable because it wouldn't
create waves and in fact it might be less waves than this big guy was this old big old boy
McCarthy has given us you know but the fact that he's led to some pretty untraditional
non-traditional hires for the cowboys seems kind of great seems excellent
Hey, speaking of the Cowboys, we are here at Cowboys Training Camp.
We're here because of PlumQuick.
Plumquick Company.com is our title sponsor.
We also thank the Parlay Collective, Parlay Collective.com for supporting us.
And puddlepools.com slash dumbzone.
They are one of the reasons we're out here.
But the main reason we're out here is because of,
what we like to call the triplets.
That's right.
The Cowboys were known for many years with Troy Aikman and Emmett Smith and Michael Irvin
triplets.
And that tradition continues today, as we have right here with us, Brandon Aubrey, Brian Anger, and Trent C.
All right.
The new triplets, everybody's talking about it.
Let's check some mics.
How we doing?
Fantastic.
Thanks for having us.
You look almost a little bit sleepy.
Did you just get up?
What's going on?
Maybe.
A little bit of a nap.
A little bit of a nap day.
When do you guys get up?
Seven.
Hold on.
Does Brian Anger's mic work?
We're working on that.
There you go.
Brian Anger gets the handheld.
7.20.
There it is.
He's more old school.
He likes it that way.
Do you set an alarm or is your body just do it?
Yes.
Yeah.
We actually have this new sleep pod.
Give a shout out, I guess.
Yes, eight sleep.
It has like a built-in automatic alarm that can adapt to like your sleep cycle.
Okay.
So you give it, it gives you like 30 minute window from like 650 to 720 and it hits your light sleep and it'll wake you up at your lightest sleep.
With a very gentle vibration.
So when you're alert and kind of like already waking up, it's actually incredible.
You're like kind of coming to and awake and it buzzes you and wakes you up.
That's sick.
So, okay, do you have the snoo crib?
Do you know what that is?
I don't.
I'm aware of it.
We haven't used it.
We got to borrow one because they're pricey, pricey.
But they like, when the kid starts to move, it senses it.
Like shakes them a little bit.
And when they start to make volume, the sound machine goes up and it's sort of.
It seems pretty sweet.
So this is like a camp thing?
It's a camp thing.
Yeah.
I think we're going to bring them home and get to use them at home too.
It's pretty cool.
Nice.
So what is your daily routine just at training camp?
man wake up breakfast meetings a little bit of a break time usually some chess in the special teams room and then
practice a little bit of a break more meetings dinner go to bed repeat chess yeah it's it's been
those two i stay away from it brian's more of a checkers guy no i'm not even a checkers guy you can't
even play connect four no connect four we didn't bring the the the pGA game no that that's uh in season
There have to be a code.
Yeah, exactly.
That's Dallas only.
We hit Super Smash for
Brandon's first year here, right?
Yeah.
We were pretty heavy on Super Smash.
Like every
window open, we would hit Super Smash
and it's pretty intense.
Who are we?
We 2V1.
Trent is incredible.
Trent will take Brandon and I
2B1.
I'll go Linker Bowser.
Are you a Kirby guy?
My daughter is a girl.
I might be a Kirby.
I might be Kirby.
I like to go Ness,
spam some PK fire,
and the people tilted.
Yeah, I bet you do.
It's really annoying.
It looks like that kind of guy.
Brandon just shoots arrows at Trent the whole time.
He always trying to chase Brian around.
That would always be Sammis and just fire big bubbles
while people are off fighting over there.
His son's like four.
Almost five.
And every day,
not every day because we've been busy,
but he streams playing Halo with him at our Airbnb.
Like this kid has the headset on at home
and they can have dad.
He goes to Grand Barbarians.
Bonding time.
like just wiping people out.
I'm going to get on his ass too.
Come on, dude.
Well, he's not playing the objective.
He's all about his KD.
He's not trying to win.
Selfish.
So what are you doing meetings?
But what kind of?
We sit there and we take notes and pay attention.
Okay.
Are you allowed to use like an AI note take or anything if you wanted?
I've considered that.
I feel like they wouldn't like it though.
They probably wouldn't.
Trent has a fancy electronic note.
So he's halfway there.
Yeah.
This guy, you kind of got away from that.
I used to have one.
I gave it to him, and then I don't think you used it anymore either.
I just like to actually flip a page and write on a real page.
It's hard to, like, scan back in your nose.
That being said, asking what page he's on, on his notebook.
I'm deep.
I might have had my notebook for three years, but I have a team on one side,
and then I flip my notebook over and have special teams,
and I'm slowly meeting in the middle on both, so it's pretty sweet.
I wanted to ask you guys this.
What is your role in an altercation during a joint team practice?
Get out of the way.
Okay.
You're not going and finding the...
Actually, in one of the videos, you can see Brian and I warming up in the background,
and the whole pile just starts going towards Brian,
and we both just kind of shift off to the side.
And I may or may not have said, hey, guys, what the heck?
I'm punting over here.
What are you guys doing?
You don't go find the other punter and kick his?
ass.
I mean, they do that in hockey, right?
Yeah, yeah.
The goalie fights.
What about a kicker fight?
How great would that be?
It wouldn't be.
We had helmets.
We were protected.
People would pay to see that.
I think we would.
We would, at least.
So I have, let's see, this photo was tweeted.
Do you have a, I guess I can show you guys this.
Can we turn this around or now?
I want to show them.
There was a photo.
By the way?
Is that a plug?
Maybe you can't.
Double plug.
That's going to be tough.
Here, I'll show you because I can look at it here.
Anyway, Brandon used to be an IT.
He can figure this out.
There you go.
That's what you went to school for.
Brandon used to be an IT means he can handle that.
So it was like team bonding, right?
That's what the Cowboys put out a tweet about team bonding.
Fast hands.
And, uh, excuse me, Brandon looks extremely intense.
It looks like you're screaming.
Looks like it's war paint or whatever.
Oh, yeah.
What was going on here?
We had some ex-military guys out who have a company now that they do leadership and team-building exercises.
And they led us through some scenarios that they'd seen at their time in service and kind of boil it down to little activities that we could do.
Then it was a competition that everything was scored amongst four teams.
and then it came down to kind of an individual competition at the end
where the four teams kind of went head to head one-on-one, all 90 guys.
Last man standing.
Last man standing, just kind of a reaction drill
and just eliminated guys one at a time
until we got to one person standing.
And based on that photo, who do you think that last man standing was?
Well, the photo, I mean, Brandon looks pretty pumped.
Was he the last guy?
It was impressive.
He does quick hands.
Were you the last guy?
I was.
You won?
Yes.
A little more well rested than the rest of the guys,
because that was after a heavy practice day.
Humble.
Brain was still sharp.
All right.
Well, so that's not how they,
that's not how they decided who should be on the leadership council,
because I see that's Brian Anger.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
How do we decide that?
That was all shoddy and upper management.
Did you kiss some ass to get it?
No, no, actually not.
Yeah.
Brandon was talking shit about you.
It's very, very, very honored to be a part of that.
I'm obviously been around for a while now, and we've got a great crew, great team,
and I think some leaders, you see some of the new guys coming in,
new guys, I guess, like Kenny and Quinnon, who have only been here for a year or less,
but have incredible leadership quality.
So I think it's going to be neat.
Good thing that Shottie's doing, giving us players a little bit of extra responsibility.
Have you had that anywhere else?
Because like you said, you've been around a while.
I haven't.
You've had captains that designated captains for the year during the year,
but that will take over some of that role, but not a leadership council.
We've done it here.
Yeah, we've had it here with Mike.
I wasn't part of it a few years ago when we had that.
So, yeah, it's my first year.
First year.
Yeah.
I've seen it before, and it's just kind of, I think Shottie's doing it good.
though because sometimes or it just gives a lot of opportunity for players' voices to get up to coaches
and a scenario that can be a little better received at times, like just time and place, you know.
I feel like that's probably something that the average person doesn't think about in a locker room.
It's just like the, you know, I guess Vaughn Miller was actually talking about it quite a bit the other day of just personalities and like who's comfortable speaking up and knowing who is and isn't.
and I don't know.
It's fascinating to me.
There's a lot of you guys and you all have different opinions.
Yeah, and it's also good for guys like bang and the other guys on the leadership council.
Sorry, struggle.
But you just get a good feel of what's going on in the locker room.
So a lot of times, like, guys don't even need to say something.
It's like, all right, guys are feeling this way.
Like, maybe guys' bodies are pretty beat up.
We need to try to pull it back a little bit or just have a little bit of a different idea on how to approach something through the game.
I also wonder about as you've been around,
you've been to a couple different teams,
you have been a Dallas Cowboy.
But other team bonding things,
because this is something everybody wants to do.
We want a tight team.
And I remember Dave Campo took him out.
Do you remember that?
It was on Hard Knocks.
They had to try and catch greased pigs or something.
I do.
That would be awesome.
Hard knocks.
That would be incredible.
Great for that sort of thing.
Yeah, so like, but anything stand out that you've done in the past?
When I was in Baltimore, we went out and did paintball, but we were like deep in the woods and just got annihilated by mosquitoes.
Like a guy had, one of the guys had like 80 plus mosquito bites on just his legs.
We did paintball in Jacksonville, and I pelted one of our coaches.
It was actually Olson, our OC at the time.
I was hidden in a little palmetto.
palm meadow palm tree
they're like crouched down on the ground
and I smoked him and I felt so bad
hit him from like three feet away
so that was fun
Hey you're from here right
I'm from here California Camero right right next door to hear
How come there's no mosquitoes
We leave our windows open all night
Like everything's great
Yeah I think that offshore breeze helps kind of keep them away
It's always breezy out here
So you probably just blow them away a little bit
They'll be inland more
We'd go up to Big Bear Mountain
and go fish at night out there, and they would be very, very much present.
So this is your theory, but you're not sure.
Yeah, I don't know.
Okay, I like that.
I mean, saltwater.
We say a lot of things like that, too.
It's saltwater all around here.
There's not many lakes, so they breed in fresh water.
So I don't think there's as much, it's dry out here, and there's not as much breeding ground for them.
So back in Tampa, where I'm where I live off season, home for me, swampy,
everywhere. So you have mosquitoes everywhere here. It's nice and dry.
Okay. So speaking of the ocean, I know, do you still do like the therapeutic diving project?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We still have it going. We just changed, had a little bit of a legal attorney issue, went, went and had to resubmit our 501c3.
But now Freedom Dive Foundation is, we changed the name and kind of spiced it up a little bit. So still, still working on.
What are we talking about here?
scuba dive i mean i'm actually
scuba it's uh i'll use your word therapy loosely that like dive therapy
um and there's some oxygen therapy involved with it um you can breathe similar to hyperbaric
chamber you breathe a increased amount of oxygen at a deeper depth once you go to 30 feet
you have two atmospheres of pressure so you can get like hyperbaric chamber results
with an increased oxygen content and can heal your body um reduce cortisol level
levels and just get guys in the water for wounded vets, public safety officials, just helping out
mentally and physically.
It's pretty neat.
A lot of research behind it.
So, yeah, we're just getting going with that.
This is your business?
This is my personal foundation that I started probably like seven, eight years ago.
Is scuba diving?
Is scuba diving cool under the NFL contracts?
Sure.
Oh, all right.
Yeah.
As long as you don't take on a shark.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've done hard knocks.
We did hard knocks in Tampa, took a crew out with hard knocks.
You were on that hard knocks?
I was on that hard knocks.
With James talking about the bug, having sex?
A lot of stuff.
I was the intro quick.
We actually have footage.
We spent a whole day with them, and one of the lead managers of everything is kind of pissed that it hasn't got aired yet because she told me she's like,
I've been out with Fisher, been out with JJ.
Watt, been out with all these big guys and never really got fish. And I went down, we spearfished.
And I came up with a crazy stringer of fish. And Shannon was her name. Shannon was like,
dude, this is the best footage that we've ever gotten, like, because we actually got a ton of
stuff. So it was incredible, but they never really showed it. So waiting on it.
Huh. The fish were little. Yeah. They were, they were solid.
What's James like as a teammate? He's awesome. Yeah, I think he's obviously, he's kind of
doing media stuff now and he's got a bubbly personality, but very genuine and says what's on
his mind, I guess, but good person to be around. We went through a couple bad years in Tampa,
so it just wasn't fun. Staff change after I left, so it wasn't the best season experience, I guess,
but James always kept it light.
I'm sorry to keep focusing on you.
I know the other guys are jealous of Brian.
It's appreciative of 80.
Brian were the watch, though.
Is that the watch?
We all gave a little shout out to our guy over here.
Yeah.
Yeah, you gifted watches from Brandon.
Big time.
From Brandon Aubrey.
Look, he's just given.
Yeah, he didn't forget about us, little people.
He still returns your calls.
Yeah.
Sometimes he's bad at texting back, though.
But I thought of this based on, you remember, the great fake kick last year.
Oh, yeah.
The unbelievable run.
Yep.
Got us all off the couch.
It was huge.
He said it.
Yeah, no.
I bought an NFT of it.
Yeah, I think NFL Films is doing a whole, like, you know, documentary series on that play.
But your fake punt history, certainly I know you've, how many have you thrown, like, what is it?
I think I've thrown.
Have you converted any?
I've three or four.
I've got two, one with Jacksonville.
and one here, and then we had a PAT fake
that we got a two-point conversion against the Patriots.
So scored two points.
I want my touchdown still, so, yeah, I would love to get a touchdown.
You have two points in your history.
The points go to the receiver,
but I at least made it happen.
It was pretty cool.
And since the point after, there's no real stat in the game log.
But it's all right.
We saw it.
Yeah, we saw it.
It's on film.
It all happened.
Do you have one where you think?
throw? I was supposed to throw that one, but went a little awry, got a little bit too close to
line of scrimmage. I can just get the first down with my feet. If he threw it, we would have scored
a touchdown on it. Possibly. He had two options. He got the first down, just what we needed.
We scored a touchdown anyways, and we took more time off the clock. That's better. Wave the receiver
off and said, I got it.
Can I put your head down and just started barreling through the would-be tacklers?
Yep. Slid very nicely. Thank goodness.
So I saw you did
It wasn't miced up
It was the 99 Madden rating thing
True
Yeah
We're gonna get there
Oh
There's my wake up alarm
If you
So the team comes to you
Does it like hey
I have to do this
Because I
Do you have to do it?
No I mean they asked
They were like hey
Do you want to do this
Okay
I thought it was your idea
I mean I've been campaigning for years
I'm finally listening to me I guess
I mean how do they rate you
Right
They should rate it based on long snap
Well, they actually,
Tell them about your first rating.
Yeah. I start there.
I didn't know they could do that.
Last year was the first year that they actually gave a long snapper rating
so that we actually have our own official position,
which is great for the brand.
For sure.
Because you're always a cruddy tight end, right?
Yeah.
Speaking of cruddy, tight end,
my first year I was the lowest rated player in Madden.
Sweet.
Which really sucks.
In all of Madden.
Wow, that's kind of cool, actually.
I was a 36 overall.
Like I said, I didn't know they...
And then the next year, they decided to wait things differently, and I dropped down to a 28.
Dang!
You lost the stuff?
Yeah, it got bad.
So you won, like, Workout Warrior, one of the off-season award.
Yeah, so I just, so I started to boycott Madden a little bit, like, dragging my name through the mud, you know?
And now you've got it, there's a thousand signatures there.
Are we up to a thousand?
It's pretty close.
Yeah, I remember we're close to 700.
last time I checked, so we're getting some ground.
So I watch all that stuff.
So everybody listening, come on.
We'll get the voices heard.
I'll do my best to push out 99 overall, like Madden cards to everyone who signs it.
Excellent.
I don't know how much power I have.
What is the person that hits a thousand get?
He'll snap to that.
Two 99 cards.
Meanwhile, Brandon's an X factor.
He's the fastest kicker in Madden.
Did you know that?
What's your kick power?
He wants to act like you didn't know.
What's my speed?
I think you're like 80 or something.
80?
That's pretty good.
My speed was faster than bang last year.
What's Brian's speed?
I can find that out.
79.
But so as you're walking around doing the Madden thing, there's a very small clip of Hunter Lipke.
Like the quickest clip I've ever seen.
And you said, is this the only public statement you've ever made?
At which point occurred to me, I've never heard his voice.
I barely hear his voice.
Okay, so is that, that's just the thing?
He's just, I love the guy's game.
He's a great player, great asset to the team.
And, like, awesome dude to be around.
He just, the definition of, like, speak with your play, you know.
He doesn't ever say anything.
I know some guys have called him a silent assassin.
He just goes out there and plays.
I love it.
It was great to have him really get behind and on board on.
It just means more.
Exactly.
Not a guy who says a lot.
Yeah, he's not sorry.
He's just signing anything.
Sure.
Sure.
Just follow up.
Brandon, you're an 81 speed.
Brian 73.
Oh, man.
That's terrible.
Trent 75.
What?
I feel like we just started a fight.
Let's go.
They take those numbers off of the GPS,
and I tend to not have to run downfield
because our coverage is good,
so that's a good sign.
I did not know that's how they did that.
I didn't either.
It's not.
Brandon runs on kickoff.
They do it purely off top speed.
You had one big tackle on kickoff,
so he actually got to speed.
I think it was the fake.
The fake is what caught you.
Yeah.
So I hadn't had to show it yet.
Okay.
So this is an interesting window.
Did they come to you guys after and say like here's a dashboard or like a, how do you know what your readouts on the catapult and everything?
You can ask.
Yeah.
You can ask strength staff and analytics has it.
So you can ask them.
Sometimes they'll tell us like back in Houston, I think the kicker one day he ran like 18-ish mile an hour.
and I was at like seven.
I didn't even punt during that game, I think,
and I literally trotted onto the field for PAT field goal.
And I hit like seven mile an hour.
For Seattle a couple years ago,
when we didn't have punt your top speed for the day was 3.3.
So that's just me jogging out to go to hold a PAT.
It's incredible.
That's awesome.
It's an honor to have that.
20-minute mile pace.
Yeah.
Yeah, when his top speeds, three miles an hour,
you know it was a good day.
We're doing great.
That's sick.
Your job has it gotten easy over the year?
You have like half the amount of punts per year that you had in your rookie season.
Yeah.
Because of offenses going forward.
I'd say they're more important, though.
And because of him, because they just kick long field goals.
Yeah, when we're in games and winning games, it comes down to more important kicks to where in Jacksonville, we went to in 14,
and I just had a bunch of Josh kicks where you're punting all the time and games out of hand.
It just doesn't really matter.
The guy just ruin your average.
I say it's kind of harder sometimes.
Yeah, when you miss hit a ball, when you have 40 punts, it affects it more.
And sometimes we'll punt like first punt of the game.
We'll punt in the first quarter and then we won't punt until second to last drive at the end of the game.
So I've got to stay warm the whole game, warm up back at halftime.
And just it's a lot of up, down, up, down, up, down on third down to where I'm getting kicks, but not kicking in the game.
I'm getting kicks on the sideline, just staying warm and ready.
Yeah.
I think that's definitely an underappreciated part of being able to kind of stay in a rhythm.
It's a three-hour game, and you kick in the beginning, and then I don't kick for another two and a half hours later until the end of the game.
So it might be a little tougher.
Are you the backup kicker?
Yes.
How far can you make a kick?
I used to have a leg.
I don't practice it as much anymore.
If I need to go in, I can just go in and do it.
But I can, I mean, 40 yards, I think I can.
You practice out here?
I haven't out here.
Every now and then I'll hit one back at home, but I,
I used to more so early on in my career, I used to just hit him just to mess around, but I haven't done it.
It's a different stroke swinging across my body, which I don't want to work on very much.
I'm very linear punting.
Kickers cut across the ball, so it's just a totally different swing.
No growing or hip flexure.
I don't want to torch my groin by hitting 15 kicks just messing around practicing.
Are you the backup punter?
Yes.
And do you practice that at all?
More than he does kicking.
You do like every day.
I walk out and the first thing I do is punt three balls and sometimes it's more like 10.
Sometimes it's actually three.
How long can you do it in the air?
How long?
How far?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean.
I'd say like a 40-yard net, so that would be 55 yards would be about, I'd be happy with that.
Like 35 is my miss hit and then like 45 net is my good ball.
Can you hit the scoreboard at the stadium?
I've never tried.
I'm sure I could if I tried.
Okay. You have, right?
Yeah. You can do it at will.
What kind of hang is it now? You said like a 4-8?
It's up there. You can hit a 5-0, and if you hit it between the cross-supports,
you can peek it in between the support beams and then come back down.
So I'll actually go into the Thomas Morsted.
Have you done that?
I've done it just in warm-ups.
Yeah, like not in the game. I've hit it a couple times in the game,
but Thomas Morsted hit one that like went in, I think.
I think Thomas hit one in warm-ups that went in the hole in the bottom and got stuck and stayed in there.
So you can, like, just peek it in between beams and squeak out a little bit more.
But it's like near a 5-0 hang time punt.
It's a big ball.
Have you guys met with the refs or anything yet?
They do, like, a little symposium.
Like, what are we emphasizing or stressing?
Have you done that?
I don't know the emphasis, but they are in camp with us.
Every practice, they'll be out on the field, and you can talk to them as much as you like.
Trent probably communicates with them.
Trent's good at work in the refs.
I'm just interested in who they are.
You make sure to tell them.
It might help them down the road somewhere.
Keep them off the snapper, please.
Yeah, yeah, got to remind them every now and then.
I always like to remind them of the memos where they have to stay off us.
But I haven't heard a point of emphasis this year.
Have you all?
Like, they don't want the ball moving around as much.
That's what I was going to ask about.
Nothing too crazy that affects us.
Like, they change kickoff rules a little bit as far as, like, alignments that you can do on KOR.
But nothing too crazy that directly affects us.
And outside of that, I kind of just stop listening.
So did anybody ever address the kick that hit the wire last year that was clearly affected by the wire?
Like, do we have a plan for that?
Like, that just kind of came and went last year.
I mean, it's so rare.
like not that you shouldn't have a plan for it but what did they say I talked to Riker and he said it didn't hit it
really which really oh he said that okay it looked like it looked like it did to me it looked like it did
yeah because the whole thing was they couldn't prove it on the camera right yeah like if the thing is
if they can see it on the camera hit the wire they'll redo it I think is the rule I just think it's
crazy if a field goal is to hit it that's that's like it should be behind you yeah
and the way that the wires are going to the corners of the end zone like it should never
coming to play.
That's just bad placement of this guy.
I know that punters have hit it.
Like Brett Kern hit it in a game when he was with Tennessee and nothing was said.
I've hit the scoreboard against Cleveland or sorry, Cincinnati.
We hit the scoreboard against Cincinnati.
And Cincinnati was calling for a replay of it because they wanted a repunt.
Ball ended up like hitting at the 22 and rolled into the 17.
I was going to going in punt, like should have hit it inside the 10.
So I was pissed and I wanted a repunt, but they said that the,
that the ball went out of the frame of the camera.
So they couldn't prove that it hit the scoreboard
because they had no sideline copies, no angles of the ball hitting.
So it's just hard to, I guess it's hard to get that with the wire as well.
It's hard to prove it if it's in camera.
That one made it to the net.
You had to deal with that 17 yards?
What's that?
Yeah, 17 yard.
Not terrible.
still counts as I-20, but one to ten more yards to the seven,
I'd be happy with that.
Trent had a pretty big fumble recovery last year.
The biggest is whatever.
Some are saying.
Some say he could have scored a touchdown,
and by some, this is the only guy that believes that.
We said definitely not.
Just go down on it.
Do we have the clip?
Trent's 28 rating would have got him into the end zone.
That's like the one opportunity I've had the score,
and I'm kind of mad at it.
to take it.
He would have coughed it right back up.
No.
You ever blow somebody up big time on a, tackling on a punt?
I've had a lead blocker.
I just told this story, I think, yesterday to somebody.
Lead blocker, I was playing Tampa versus Redskins at the time.
Shout out back in the day.
Lead blocker, big linebacker, I had to take on.
And I hit him good.
I saw it coming, put a little extra speed into it, my 73 speed.
and stood him up.
And it was like a 240-pound linebacker.
I'm still like 210, maybe a little bit lighter at that time.
So still have a little bit of mass to me, I guess,
compared to some of the returners.
But popped a linebacker, kind of knocked myself a little bit silly,
get off to the sideline, told my snapper, I was like, dude,
I stood up a linebacker.
Like, I feel pretty good about it.
And he's like, no way.
We watch film the next day.
He taps me.
He's like, that's pretty solid.
So I got his seal of approval.
I stood up a linebacker, but no crazy hits.
Brandon had a good one last year.
Brian tends to see Red if the returner gets loose and he just charges.
I make the tackle if I have to, but rarely do we have to.
We've had a good team's unit, so I don't have to come into play, which is a good thing.
That's got to be fun in the film room the next day when one of you guys?
Yeah, you're in a little bit of respect from the guys.
We're athletic still, and we don't get to prove our athleticism,
so it's fun every now and then when you get to show that you actually do have a little bit
athleticism to you.
Yeah, the other guys are like, hey, you're kind of a man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's great.
Did you do your Monday night football headshots and all that yet?
Yeah, we did that.
Yeah, we did that during OTAs.
Yeah.
That's a training.
Oh, that's an OTA thing.
Yep, yeah.
We have a day of media here that we get it all done.
It's kind of nice after practice during one of the OTAs.
So it's good.
You just do all the bits?
Yep.
Did you guys do something last night?
Yeah, we did.
We went bowling as a team, and we had the rookie show.
here beforehand where the rookies put on a performance trying to make us laugh.
Terrible.
Is that something you missed?
You never had to do that.
No, I did.
It was an individual performance, my rookie year, with McCarthy.
So we had to get a repeat.
We got a song.
Oh, no, no, that's okay.
Can we pull up everybody?
Just you sang?
What did you sing?
Everybody by Baxter Boys?
Is it backstree?
Baxter Boys.
It was rigged.
He had to do that.
It was weighted.
There were like three or four songs that were on the scale.
It was like a 3% chance for that one, and it fell on it.
And we had, like, four songs that were on, like, a pie chart weighted.
I picked three.
And the dial spins to pick one, and it picked that song, which was one.
The only one I didn't prepare and was like, I'm just not going to do it if it hits that one.
Like, so I sung it.
And he was like this.
Everybody.
Yeah.
I don't feel like back your body.
Back street's back.
All right.
I thought I killed it at the time, too.
It was great.
It made us happy.
That's one of the few performances that I was actually like crying from laughing.
It was great.
Way better than the rookie show this year.
The rookies were lackluster.
I feel like that's league-wide.
I'm just seeing the clips just aren't like they used to be.
It's declining.
I feel like nobody can look stupid anymore.
I threw out a first pitch a couple weeks ago.
How did it go?
Got over the plate.
What'd you throw?
I had a, I mean, I knew the second that it happened that I did not, because I have like a fuck,
like I can't throw.
I learned to throw to do this.
You go four seam or splinker?
I was just cut it in half too.
But it didn't look perfect.
It didn't look perfect.
And these guys let me know about it, right?
But we noticed that when the celebrities do it now, not me, but when real celebrities do it,
they only show that from the, they don't show the pitch.
They don't show them fail.
They just show it from, hey.
You want the ABS ball strike system?
I want to see 50 cent or whatever.
But I feel like now nobody can look stupid, so the rookies come in now.
Got to protect the image.
And it's like, oh, I'm already kind of...
You have a first pitch thrower right here.
He's the only one that's done it.
I want my shot.
Yeah, I've got two of them, man.
One with the Chihuahuas in El Paso and one with the Rangers.
I could talk to somebody.
If I'm throwing, I'm going to throw like 80.
I used to play a baseball back in the day.
So I'm going to either blow my arm out or...
You're going full out.
So we can get this done.
The rotator cup warmed up.
Yeah.
So what did they do for the show?
Is it songs?
They did a...
skits of making fun of coaches and some players.
Did a mock meeting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Pretending to set up as a meeting.
It was a...
Oh, fake shoddy?
They kind of did a reenactment of like the Drewski show or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, where you're like talent showy?
Yeah, that's a talent show.
It was like a mixture of that and running a meeting.
Kind of a give up.
It was...
There are a couple highlights, but not many.
Yeah, I'm just short.
Now, who's the best bowler amongst our triplets?
A banger last night.
He was on a rigged lane.
What does that mean?
So the pins had strings attached on the top.
They weren't like where they sweep the pins off and they put a new stack down.
They were all on strings.
That's old.
So you could see that like a couple hit, I'd hit the right side and they would fall down.
Nothing on the left would be touched.
And then like a second and a half later, I'm walking away.
And a couple would just tumble over when the strings were getting reset.
He had a strike where the pin went up and around and just wrapped around all.
all the strings and not
outhouse kick.
It just had a lot of tempo on it.
You have no idea where that pin is going.
That pins string closed lined the rest of the pins.
That's what happened.
They had the same opportunity to do it as I did.
He had nine frames where he got every single pin.
It was like seven strikes or seven spares, two strikes.
And then the strikes would have been really.
I wish I had seven.
The eighth frame, was it the ninth frame?
You had nine down and you missed the tenth.
Tough.
Who won't overall, like, who were we?
Brev?
Brev went for 244.
But he took a bowling class in college, so it's kind of an uneven advantage.
I took it two semesters in a row.
Did you fail the first?
No, but you had two credits for physical football.
I'm telling you.
I guess it depends how they, I took a bowling class, but they just said, go bowl.
Right, but then you do it.
Nobody taught me how to do it correctly.
If you can hit 200 with a crappy bowling alley ball, like you have to have your own
ball you can spin and be consistent with.
To hit like 200 plus with a bowling alley ball, I feel like it's almost impossible.
That sounds like an excuse for a guy who can't bowl 200, you know?
Not that I can't.
But it is cool to have your own ball.
I think everybody should have a little bowling ball.
Yeah, it's really cool.
Whatever rating of...
Do you have your own ball?
Of cool.
Of course I do.
That's why it's so cool.
The best thing is to have your own.
own shoes so you don't have to use those disgusting
shoes that everybody else is worn. Now does
did Shottie make you got you couldn't bowl together right?
Oh we were together yeah. Oh okay. It was just
the whole arcade most people were in the arcade
there were not too many people bowling so.
Oh okay so it was just like a rented out of place.
Yeah. Just go have fun tonight.
Like an arcade bowling alley just like go go have fun and hang out.
Because during dinners you have to go to dinner with different people.
He wants you to hang around with.
Yeah, intermix. Yeah, he did that.
He did that.
We've had our group dinners.
I think every group, every position group has hit a dinner together out here.
It's kind of cool.
It's a little competition.
Shottie shows your picture during team meeting and calls you out, which gets the rest to do so.
So we hit a sushi spot out here.
Last week was good.
Wait, what do you mean that he calls you out with a picture?
The coaches would submit a photo to Shottie, and Shottie would put it up in team meeting.
They need photo evidence.
The evidence that it happened, and then it would pressure the rest that haven't done it to get it done.
That's awesome.
It's kind of cool.
Okay.
What's the sushi place you were saying was great?
Anaba.
What's it called?
Anaba.
Anaba.
It was pretty good.
Did you all go?
No, we went to a sushi place, but I couldn't remember which one you told us.
Nina?
Yeah, you'll ask for Nina.
Tell her the Cowboys sent you.
She'll tell you all of the Cowboys specials of what we like.
Oh, okay.
Well, that sounds pretty exciting.
Couldn't we just ask you?
No.
We have to go ask Nina.
We mostly pointed out the pictures.
It was hard to remember all the romance.
It's up, Coach.
It probably means we have to go.
Oh, is, uh...
It's almost 11.
The Brian Schottnheimer.
Okay, well, thank you, uh, to the greatest, uh, triplets we've ever met.
Thank you guys so much.
Thank you guys.
Take another one of these while you're at.
Oh, yeah.
They send them to us.
Put him in the meeting room.
He's running out already.
Let's put him in the room for everyone.
All right, and we're going to carry this for our break, right?
So, uh, we will, uh, just step aside as coach Brian Schottenheimer.
We'll talk to you for about 20 minutes or so.
This look at a unique Cowboys injury report is brought to you by Bud Light.
So during the week, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, each team puts out an injury report.
We've never seen one like this this week.
Brandon Aubrey, not injury-related, jury duty.
He missed practice for jury duty.
So on Tuesday, he was selected for a 12-person jury in a felony case in Tarrant County.
district court. That's in downtown Fort Worth, about 45 miles from where the Cowboys
trained in Frisco, Texas. By the way, the judge trying the case, former football
player at North Texas University. So Aubrey has jury duty. He missed the regular practice
Wednesday to Friday. It was very nice of the long snapper and the punter, who's the
holder, Brian Anger, to come back after he made the trip from Fort Worth back to Frisco,
got there around 7 o'clock, and those guys hung around so he can get his kicks in on
Wednesday and Thursday.
So if you have a crazy week, you get a mudline sponsorship.
Is that how I like that?
Every week for you.
Aubrey's kick is set back.
You're listening to The Dumb Zone.
Having fun up in the booth.
So we're out here at Cowboys Training Camp.
Thanks to the triplets for joining us.
Thanks to Plum Quick for sponsoring us.
So tomorrow is our.
is today's our Friday, but tomorrow is the world's Friday.
But it is our business Wednesday, so that'll be brought to us by Sean Kernan over at 360
Wealth Management.
Who wants you to...
What?
Hit the No Puppet Drop Puppet.
Oh, you want at the end of the music?
Does it hit the same if we all...
No puppet!
No, but you have to get back into the...
Just the feel, the flow.
It's like when your wife had to schedule sex.
We'll do it this way for now.
Anyway, so yet...
Tomorrow is our business Friday.
Thank you, Sean Kernan.
Then, of course, when we get back to town,
we will go for a Conno Rosa remote.
Tuesday.
We'll be at the Star and Frisco.
We want to follow the Cowboys.
So there's a Conne Rosa right across from the Star.
If you want to join us there for some pizza.
then Thursday we'll be at the half-price books on Northwest Highway.
There's a book signing, M.F. Hamlin, and he's been in studio before with his book.
Skinny dipping at low-tides.
That's right.
Low-tide.
I knew there was tied in there.
He's doing a book signing that day, and so we'll be out that half-price books.
And then...
Saturday.
What?
Dumb Zone Comedy Night
We have another Dumb Zone Comedy Night
next Saturday, not this set,
not two days from now.
Correct.
Okay.
Don't you worry about anything?
I clearly am not.
No, it all, I didn't worry last time
and everything went great.
I know you've been out practicing.
I do need tickets
probably to put the tickets on our website.
That would probably be helpful if they're not up there already.
Okay, give me a link for that.
I'll get that up on the...
Yeah.
the events page soon.
Yeah, I guess if we haven't...
Good seats still available
because we haven't sold tickets to that,
or we haven't at least promoted it.
There aren't that many available overall, so...
Like 100, right?
Yeah, got to get them quick.
We'll get that out to this weekend.
Okay, so yeah, that's what's coming up next week.
If indeed we make it back.
You know?
Yeah.
You never know if we'll make it back.
I have a piece of news before the news.
Can I give you something?
Sure.
I have a quick thing, too.
Look at everybody with some things.
Okay.
My pre-news news,
but I hope you don't have this in the news.
But it's that Columbia House
Records is shutting down.
No, I didn't have that in the news.
Do you know what I mean?
Oh, of course, dude.
Do you know what that is, Blake?
Do you ever get 10 CDs for a penny?
No.
So this is a huge deal for me as a kid.
My cousin told me about it.
I'm like, uh-uh.
He's like, bro, look.
He has 10 CDs.
And I'm like, but then you're going to have to buy all these.
He goes, no, no, no, not if you're a minor.
I go, really?
And so without consulting anyone else,
without following up, maybe with my uncle or aunt.
See, hey, has any of this come back to bite you?
I dove in as well.
I picked my 10 CDs.
and there might have been a Zizi top one in there.
Oh, yeah?
I don't know.
It's just early in my music life, music collecting life.
And I credit Columbia with the reason I have tons of CDs because it got me going.
And now they're shutting it down for good.
Now, what are they shutting down?
They've probably been shut down for a while, but it's morphed into like movies and then whatever.
but then per NPR, the Columbia Company website,
has a notification that says after 91526,
the Columbia House will no longer be accepting new orders.
Yeah, I never tried the scam,
but I had either my mom or my dad or my stepdad,
they would let me pick some of the ones when you would fill out,
you know, it would be in a magazine right,
and it would be like perforated and you could fill.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I do also remember in business law, the professor, the lady, using this to illustrate the point.
That's true.
That minors?
Yeah, the minor actually cannot.
She's like, you know, you could go into, you know, she used a more real life for us at that time of like, hey, if you went into a Best Buy and bought something at 15, 16, you can return that basically at any time.
there's no way for them to prevent that that is not a contract that they should have entered into with you legally.
If you go back with a parent, they're going to say, you can't sell this to my son.
Really?
This is not a rational actor.
Oh.
Yeah, but then I'll tell you that until you're over 18 and it's no longer of use to you.
Okay.
Yeah, that's my news before the news.
Mine is I
Anything Grand Theft Auto 6 related will hit my algorithm
Because I'm very excited for the games release later this fall
If it is gonna happen
And I saw this article
Yeah
Where the Army
Is trying to get re-enlistments
From guys who have served some time already
And are able to leave the military if they want
But the Army still needs some guys
So to incentivize, now it's not across the entire army.
It's for this one specific battalion, but it will continue to grow.
If they sign a reenlistment contract between August 1st and November 14th of this year,
they will receive a special four-day pass to play Grand Theft Auto 6 early.
It's not ball sack.
I've seen this multiple places, and I'm reading currently from the CBS News website.
site.
Yeah, I've seen it a bunch of places too.
Which, the story in and of itself is funny, but, like, think about Joe 20 years ago, former
Division I quarterback, you know, enlisting the Marines, that's what they needed.
Not enlist, but.
Or what have you.
Now, now.
I don't understand.
Well, there's a difference between an enlisted and an officer, right?
He joined the Marine Corps.
I don't know.
You're saying things like everybody.
I use the wrong verb.
I apologize.
So you can't say he enlisted?
He's not enlisted.
He's a commissioned officer.
I don't know.
Maybe they say enlisted.
I don't think they do.
All right.
Grab a mic if you want to talk.
I think we're getting lost in the details.
Yes, all right.
It's an important one.
Okay.
Well, my apologies to everyone involved.
We don't, we're not sending guys to war anymore.
We need a guy to fly a drone.
And who can better do that than guys who play video games.
And so now, whereas...
You think they're secretly going to be tracking these guys.
I'm telling you...
They're going to watch them play Grand Theft Auto.
Listen, they used to go to football camps or whatever, the beat, I don't know.
To find the badasses.
Now they are setting up booths at Comic Con.
Middle school, yes.
And gaming conventions.
For real?
I'm serious.
Really?
Yes.
Because that's the new wave.
Guys who can make snap judgments.
be under high pressure and be at the controls of stuff for the military.
It's not your meatheads anymore.
It's your gamer nerds.
So, Brooks, they're scouting Brooks right now.
Yeah.
Anyway, this is kind of the tip of the spear here, like, hey, the guys that are good at computer stuff
who like to play Grand Theft Auto, well, if you come back, we'll let you play early.
But in the future, they will be targeting kids who grew up playing video games.
Because that's what the military has become, or will become eventually.
It is very interesting.
It's dystopian as fuck, so I'm having a hard time kind of wrapping my head around it.
I mean, the military is already primarily a lot of times composed of people who are out of options
and are looking to get their life, you know, get some structure.
And it's like, yeah, well, here's a dopamine hit to throw away the next.
not throw away, but a lot of people, you know, they're done with it after they're done with it.
They don't want to go back.
Yeah.
But if you don't have a lot of other options and they're like, yeah, but what if you can...
But for much of our civilization, like we've needed bodies.
But now they need skill, I guess.
So it's our scrawny nerds against...
They're scrawny nerds.
Iranian scrawny nerds.
Sure.
I think there's something to this, but I also, I watch a lot of war videos.
And let me tell you, they're still out there.
No doubt.
Kick-ass dudes?
I mean, you'll see...
Like Tiger doesn't train with the nerds.
No.
And also America's a little more technologically advanced,
but you can get two clicks and see a Ukrainian knife and a guy right now.
Like hand-to-hand.
It's great.
Great.
So if we go back to the original confusion,
your brother signed up for the Marines and the Marines.
then he's an officer right away? No, you sign up when you're in college and then you go to two of
the summers, this potentially might have had impact on his ability to learn an offense fully,
but two of the summers that he was playing college football, he went to Quantico for like eight
weeks or something, went through a thing there. Is that like basic training? Yeah, but it's like an officer
version of it. Oh. You have to be in college. You have to have a college degree to be an officer.
or I think there might be ways within the military, but probably a college degree.
Is that how you did it?
No, this is a hardcore.
This is a grunt that made it to the top.
You're an enlisted man. Yes, I worked for a living.
Correct.
Oh, okay. That's what we say?
He's a grunt.
Okay.
So if you say an enlisted man.
I was enlisted.
I did have a college degree, but I was enlisted.
And a lot of times guys get their degree while they're, like, after, you know, use your Pell, your GI.
But, you know, the people who run, like, if you go watch Generation Kill, right,
That's a very good to me, and I think you would agree, like, a very good depiction of, like, the different types of personalities you have within a platoon.
The dude who is in charge in Generation Kill went to Dartmouth.
Like, he's, you know what I mean?
These are, like, blue-bloody, like, Yale, Harvard.
And below them, you have different teams.
But at the bottom, you've got, like, my buddies who signed up at a high school.
But the guy in charge usually is, like, a.
0.01%
like intelligence, physical.
Why did you do it?
You don't seem like a guy who takes orders.
I don't take orders.
You give them.
I wanted to do it for the experience.
Yeah, I want to join the Marines for the experience.
Yeah.
Just get my ass kicked for a few years.
Some people want to go to Red Rocks,
visit all 30 ballparks.
Dude, but that's what is 18 when I did.
I did it.
I mean, that's not uncommon, and that's why
they have a fighting force of, I mean, they're not, going to the Marine Corps is hard, way hard.
Like, you're choosing the hardest option.
Really?
Just people that want to kill people.
Yeah, I mean, that's, there's not.
And I think it's still like that.
There's not a lot of chair force action, you know?
It's a much smaller group of people.
This is why they get picky about.
Certainly.
My time used to do.
Well, so there's even within the baddest ass of the bat, like the Marines,
they clearly always are like,
we're better than, right?
You're better than the Army,
you're better than the Navy, all that.
Yeah, significant.
But even within there,
now you can,
there are light-skinned and darks, right?
There's a stratification within as well.
Yeah, because you get your designation, right?
What do you call your...
So you think Joe's a pussy?
Joe Kemp, you're saying as a pussy.
No, he's one of those...
I don't know him personally,
but I got to think he's a badass,
well.
Yeah.
Think of Jake, but times like 50 or something.
Yeah.
I don't know.
He's a guy that will chase down a, if he sees a guy that has robbed something or what,
like he'll chase him down.
Yeah.
Tackle him.
Right.
He'll be a local hero.
I might get a picture of your plate.
Yeah, you know.
Maybe.
You could be a hero in a different way.
I have a pre-a-a-po.
It's a Ti-vo preview.
Okay.
For something coming up tomorrow.
It is a three-episode docu-series on Apple TV called The Dynasty, Yukon Huskies.
And in this, in episode three, you will see Paige Buckets.
What's her last name?
Beckers.
Beckers and AZ Fudd, open up about their relationship.
You'll see the origin.
Well, that's the only way you're going to see AZ Fud this weekend because,
this player with a bit of a spotty medical history.
That's not the word I want to use there at all.
A bit of a...
Yes.
The husband is true now.
As far as injuries, injury prone, is injured again.
She'll be shut down for the season.
Oh.
But she was clearly the number one prospect.
There was no one else even within a...
No.
Olivia Miles is doing great.
I know it's different now because Steph changed
kind of what it meant to be like an alpha,
but Olivia Miles now plays basketball more like a man than any man I've ever seen.
She looks like James Harden.
She does look awesome.
Like she does stuff that's...
But she was so far away, we would have never known about her.
She played at TCU.
Remember the whole Vaughn Miller playing close to home?
But they didn't really have any highlights of her on the Webber.
She dragged TCU's ass to the elite eight.
Oh, you would have been happy.
I didn't tweet this one.
I deleted the draft.
But I just...
I've been away from my family so long.
I'm jumping into random Twitter arguments with, like, people 20.
followers going back and forth. I'm like, uh-uh.
But I just saw some tweet.
Somebody posted in Olivia Miles'
video and somebody replied. The first
reply was, is, dude, is there anything she can't do?
I almost.
Come on.
Well, there's one thing.
But anyways, so this is about
just the female team?
I think it's just about the whole program.
I think it's about the female team.
Because, I mean, Dan Early's his own
Yeah, no, this is about the Yukon female team, which is a dynasty.
It debuts tomorrow night.
But it is interesting, the whole page AZFUD thing.
I said it at the time and I don't disagree with myself now.
I would like to look back at past me and say,
I was right to say that they shouldn't have, you don't draft someone's girlfriend.
It's also the first year.
You just take a longer view of this.
No, I'm just saying the potential.
Potential problems.
Plus, we've come to learn this year.
It's only a 30-some game season.
They wouldn't have been apart for that long.
I feel like discounting the problems of not drafting her.
I think we just...
What?
Then all of a sudden, Paige is going to act like...
Trade me.
Okay.
They do that old.
And then what?
You've got to start over.
What about no?
What is she going to do?
Pout.
I don't have it known girls to do that.
Women just realize the problem here.
Women be pouten.
Imagine.
Imagine they're like, no, we're not drafting her.
I'm just saying.
I know the WMBA wants to pretend they're a real league
and that they can act like,
I can act like the other leagues,
but come on.
Let's just, we gave you money
and you're on cool charters now.
And how about this?
You're acting like the NBA teams
haven't been signing Thanasa Satintacompo.
or ante tomorrow.
Again, we are playing dress-up enough
that we let you act like we're now paying you,
we're letting you be on flights
and you don't have to eat garbage food anymore.
That's as far as we're going to go here.
We're not going to do the,
we're adhering to every wish.
You know why they do that for Janus?
Because the difference between having Janus and not
can be $50 million in your franchise.
The difference between page being on the wings
and not on the wings,
I don't think matters much at all.
I don't know about that, man.
And I don't know, but I think there's money to be made there,
and they're making it, and they're making it off her.
Nah.
That's my answer.
Nah.
But they're, yeah.
They tried to hide behind, like, you can't have two ball handlers,
which we knew better.
Right.
Luca was unlocked whenever Kyrie got here,
because he didn't have to bring the ball up every single time.
That's not.
He got worn out in the first run.
Boy, you are just a,
wing shill.
No.
All you do is care about the wings.
I'm trying to provide
more context than just
see. You are a homer.
It's hard to focus.
The music is exceptionally loud.
You go to the news?
Where's DC?
Here's Jay with the dumb
self. I think he started driving back already.
He's... Well, that's unfortunate
because he was around for a lot of
a lot of good LA news last night.
We're going to end with that.
Because I got a couple of quick stories I want to tell you.
First of all, the buzz saw is back.
Tony Busby.
Oh, I was thinking of Steve.
No.
Tony Busby, our Houston lawyer who once bought a tank
and parked it in front of World War II tank
and parked it in front of his house.
He represented Deshawn Watson,
Deshaun Watson accusers, rather.
We've had him on the show.
We have had him on the show.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's a trial attorney.
Blake's Speeddial.
He lives in the River Oaks neighborhood in Houston.
He has a 12,000 square foot home.
Last week, he bought the 15,000 square foot home next to his for 15 million to knock it down.
He said, I absolutely hate the style and inside decor.
After I tear it down, I'll have a blessed and then build a pool house and garden.
Wait, what was before the pool house?
It's a house, but he said, I hate the style and inside decor.
He wants to tear the whole thing down.
He's just saying, this sucks, it's cursed.
Imagine just like, I don't like the house next to me.
I'm going to buy it, knock it over.
And then he gave this quote to The Chronicle,
I don't focus on people who have nothing better to do than criticize others.
And I don't want to spend time justifying what I choose to do.
I'm a doer, doers do, haters hate.
Buzz saw out.
Sounds like Mike drops.
Sounds like he's at the Beast Feast.
Yeah.
And you're just stuck in the Loser Dome.
Oh, that's the other one.
Let me put that one.
No.
A man's body was found inside a pipe
at an abandoned power plant
in Fort Worth.
This is north of downtown.
North Maine power plant.
Like Andy Dufrain?
Yeah, I guess.
Kind of.
The guy'd been dead for a long time.
So,
it's a century-old property
right along the Trinity River.
So it's been shuttered for years
A guy could have been dead in there for
Decades
I don't know
There's a thing on the news last night
The Lake Mead
Which is like the lake created by the
Boulder Dam I think
Or the Hoover Dam
It's at the lowest level it's ever bad
And they keep on just finding bodies
Yeah I think that's probably
Probably a lot of them
Well if we're going to move down here
We saw a couple news
stories last night that were truly mind-blowing.
The first one, it was interesting because when we first turned on the TV,
it was like the 8 o'clock news, we jumped in in the middle of a story where they were rehabbing
a bird.
They were at a vet hospital holding a bird, and the Chiron says, injured peacock.
I'm like, okay, what's going on here?
This isn't the very end of the news when you get your puff, a little bit of the news.
fluffy piece?
No, not even close.
Like during the news?
Not even close.
One of them let off with it.
Yeah.
Why?
Two or three more.
Well, the reason is they're washing the bird, they're like this bird, and then you
go back.
I got to see the start of the story.
Did you say it's an albino peacock?
No, I guess that is what it is, isn't it?
It's all white.
It's all white.
Beautiful bird.
But in Pasadena, they have a couple of these peacocks that are just in the neighborhood.
Like neighborhood cats.
People feed them.
They eat people's food.
There's a pond nearby.
Like the Argyl Turkey.
Yeah, they have three or four of them.
This one in particular has been around a long time.
And after checking a couple different surveillance video files,
there's a mailman who gets crossways with it and just starts beating the shit out of it.
Oh.
Hits it with a stick.
He's like, see ya, get back.
And then the thing keeps coming at him and he picks up a rock.
and throws it at him.
He's like in a guy's driveway.
It's compelling video.
They're just going back and forth, like dancing with each other in a little like martial
arts match.
And then he just gets it, you know, gets it with a rock and it flies over.
Are we calling for this guy's badge?
No.
He was getting out of his truck to do his job and this bird interrupts him.
And they're talking to people in the neighborhood.
They're like, he randomly got out of his truck to attack this bird.
I'm like, he got out of his truck to do his job.
Right.
He's a mail carrier.
And it's funny, too, because the guy.
has the most like bucket, like the mail carrier hat on, the shoulder stash, and then he's just
beating the shit out of this bird. It starts with him doing the get. The get here.
I need to deliver this mail, but then it just kept escalating and escalating. I think the bird
chased him back to his truck. Dan, if you're worried about how the post office is going to respond
to this, they did release a statement. It starts with, there's a lot of those damn peacocks
walking around that neighborhood, frankly, and we've had
some carriers get hurt. Postal employees
in this area have experienced
previous encounters with Peacocks,
says the post office. We do
take this allegation of misconduct seriously.
They're not taking it that seriously.
And all of the people
in the neighborhood were acting
like, they're like,
oh, he only gets like this sometimes.
Like, he's generally friendly.
Liars. But by everyone, all three of these guys
were like, that's bullshit. Peecocks are terrible.
And I remember my great. And then I suddenly
remember my grandparents had one where I was like five and it was mean as hell.
But yeah, they were like standing up for it.
Like, this is our guy.
We call it sugar.
Sometimes he gets a little out of hand.
Can you eat a peacock?
Yes.
You're allowed to?
But they were wanted the guy to take like animal sensitivity training.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But that was not the people upset.
Okay.
That was not the story of the night.
they run to the PETA guy, of course.
Yeah.
There's a template for doing news stories.
Yeah.
It was well done.
Very well done.
Very well done.
All they were missing was like a comment from the friend of the mail guy, like blurt out.
What was you supposed to do?
I would have happily supplied that.
No, so the other story we saw last night.
Like, you love the LA News, right?
Me?
So good.
Holy shit, dude.
I mean, for me, again, think point break, but like heat.
Every heist movie, it takes place, you know, that's not like a town, but it all takes place out here.
You have the ocean.
Hollywood is here.
The ports are here.
I mean, they, every night they're talking about that warehouse fire.
And now, like, the guys, Blake saw what it looks like last night.
It's the grossest thing I've ever seen, dude.
This is the food warehouse?
Yes, it's awful.
And people, the entire neighborhood, well, when you see how tall the warehouse was,
and there's just like rotted food hanging from the ceiling that burned.
And there are just these giant mosquito nets everywhere that are full of just dead.
Dead, they can't fill them up fast enough.
It's like a third world country.
And it's in the middle of Los Angeles.
And the fire was two months ago.
Tencelton.
Yeah, right?
The place to see and be seen.
The warehouse.
is probably like the size of downtown Ventura.
So just imagine a landmass that big, just full of rotting food.
It's just full of rats.
Yeah, it's in a neighborhood.
Yeah.
There's a community meeting every night where people are just yelling.
And that's all before you even get to the police chases.
And there are so many of these that I recognize the guy we're about to hear from the last couple years.
a lot of times they'll go away from it.
Like Pat McAfee had to explain on his show because he's a pussy.
Oh, yeah.
He had to explain what a hard out is, a hot out.
It wasn't my fault.
This has been in television for years.
Right.
But so on the LA news, you know, they're sometimes in the middle of a police chase.
They're like, we have to go away.
We're going right to their version of Fox 4 Plus.
And they keep going.
Last night, there was a chase of a guy on a dirt bike.
Not a motorcycle, but a dirt bike.
Which is more popular around here.
I've never seen one.
I've never seen a police chase.
Yep.
The only time I see him is because we live in the suburbs and they're craphead kids.
Braden?
Yeah, Braden's dirt bike, maybe.
But it is inherently a much funnier vehicle to run from the cops on.
It makes a Looney Tunes.
Very grand theft.
It just seems like you're about to like kind of peel it out.
You can go off road, right?
You know, steal some candy or something.
But this guy, this went for 40 minutes.
At least the portion that the L.A. News was able to catch.
40 minutes, there are an insane amount of twist and turns.
There's a three-minute version of it right here.
And we can stop and start.
to play the audio for you guys because I think you'll get a picture of what's going on.
Right out of the gate, the guy's got like ski goggles, but they're on the back of his head.
Real just kind of 90s bro, I mean, he looks like a point break crew member, and he is
talking on a cell phone that he's holding on his shoulder like he's doing dishes.
So he's on the phone.
As he now pulls into this gas station, he will be cornered here momentarily.
He will not have much time to do anything, but he's got several seconds for them to catch up here.
So as he...
Okay, at this point, he has pulled the dirt bike up to a gas pump.
To fill up?
To try.
He gets the pump out or the cord, whatever, inserts the nozzle, and at this point, the cops start to close in.
Basically, looks around.
Most likely, here's the helicopters.
He is trying to get gas.
They will be pulling in here, guys.
I've got to believe any second.
Oh, pulled the pump.
Pulled the pump.
This is really getting crazy, really quick.
This is dangerous under normal circumstances,
but with a live, hot pursuit,
the risk here is amplifying by the second.
He is dialing buddies up.
Like, there's no tomorrow.
I mean, I don't know who in the world he's calling.
He's coming within inches of oncoming traffic.
Now, at this point, he shed the pump fell out, because he just, he gunned it when the cops closed in,
ripped the pump off the hose.
The hose.
Drove away with the hose and then was able to shed it out onto Sepulvedo or whatever.
Okay, but it was stuck in pumping gas and he just took up.
With fuel, just everywhere.
These conversations, this is at least the second time he is actually talking into the speakerphone,
like he's on who wants to be a millionaire, trying to figure out who his lifeline is,
and trying to figure out where he's going to hide this bike.
Okay, let me speak to the audience here.
I got to know, let me put this in TV terms so you can, like, you never do the World Cup.
What would that be like?
Who would he be in the NFL?
This guy's a pro.
So this guy's like, who would this, let me explain this to everybody so you know.
What is he doing?
Phone, what is that?
No, it's like a millionaire.
And you call him.
Oh, okay, yeah, that's what a phone.
That's what I would do with a phone.
This guy can fill time, too.
A couple years ago or maybe a year ago, we played him.
covering a no king's protest and he got so bored he just started talking about his love life and he did 30 minutes that were solid this guy this is who they need like in a cowboys reindeer
man now he's going to tell you who the guy was on the phone with okay he is apparently um on the phone with one of our photographers uh somehow uh he has managed to reach abcc seven and now what in the world he just how long would it take you to do that he he he he got
Okay.
He's on a car chase.
He's like the Joker.
A current chase.
He's got a fuel hose hanging out of his...
Right.
He's on speakerphone.
But he got through and got one of the photographers.
He's like, get my right side.
Yes.
And the photographers, you can hear the guy in the chopper if you listen to the full version, like talking to the editor and the guy's trying to tell him like, hey.
The guy on the air is a middleman?
Yes.
Yes.
now.
That's a great thing about the L.A. Car Chase stuff is because it's such a big deal out here
and because it's on every night, like it feeds into itself of like,
it's like after you've had a reality show going for a while
and the contestants have been watching the show in previous seasons,
like you know your roles.
And you can kind of tell the news people have,
I believe there's got to be at least some opinion that the police and the media
following these chases the way they do makes them worse.
Because the-
The anchors were like, you can see the police are in his game now.
They're playing his game now.
Okay, so now I'm cutting back over to the longer clip
because at this point, the dirt bike,
dude, we've been going 20 minutes.
He's tried to get gas.
He's making phone calls.
Now he's going to take advantage of the fact that it's a dirt bike.
He gets off-road.
He's in a park.
Nice.
And he's going around.
This park is not full, but it's like,
Dust. There's a lot of people in this park. Magic Johnson Park. Magic Johnson Park, which may be in the club.
Before he got into the park here, he actually slowed down a little bit, and now he's what in the world? He just...
What? Did somebody leave... He got somebody...
Somebody left fuel for him.
He got fuel?
Container for him and leave it in the park. He just put gas in that bike.
Dude, now he's in the middle of a...
He's in the middle of a park. He's in the middle of a park.
Yes.
Hey, leave a...
And it's in the middle of a...
like a clearing and it's a big like two two leader
wow zarka or arrowhead thing filled up with gas he pops the cap off and just starts
chugging it into the bike and then he ditches it and every time he's doing this the cops
close in because he has to pause and then he just did just gets right out of there
he was able to drop gas off oh because the cops were coming LAPD look at people
running for the park LAPD in the park now pausing through this major intersection
That's Broadway and Elsa Gondor Boulevard people running for their lives through the park as he now tries to flee LAPD after a fresh gallon of gas that somebody left waiting for him in that park.
This is unbelievable.
Wow.
We've kind of established a lot of precedent lately, Chris, in multiple pursuits.
And that's the first again.
Somebody leaving fuel in a park, he finds it.
But the police came up to him right when he was transferring the fuel into his vehicle.
and as a result he had to drop it quickly and move on.
He got a little bit in there.
So we got a color commentator.
Yeah, dude, they go.
We got a play-by-play guy and then.
It's exactly like that.
Unbelievable.
What does the play-by-play guy make?
Like, does he make more than Kevin Harlan?
Can we get Kevin Harlan?
I mean, you'd love to have.
Yeah.
Gus.
And all of my years of covering pursuits,
he just coordinated a drop-off, filled up with a,
or not I don't know if he filled up.
Okay, and then a little bit.
How about the fact that you're here?
very rarely, and you caught something that this guy has never seen in all of his years.
That's true.
You got to be there.
I do think this is unique, because a bunch of listeners saw this at home or were sitting against me.
I mean, dude, last night I'm like, holy shit, this manned beat up a peacock.
Manor from heaven.
Yeah, this will be the best thing I see.
Yeah, because they were just running it over and over, and then as soon as sun starts to go down,
it's like, uh-uh.
Excite bike is breaking out the most populated area in America.
How did the date end?
Oh, so...
That's a great one.
And they do lose him.
Here, I can actually play the...
Most likely, his final hiding spot.
As it appears, LAPD has the suspect at gunpoint
along the 200 block of 112th Street.
He is going to put that down, and it appears...
Okay, he was in a recycling bin.
The chopper lost him.
Yeah.
Because that's an interesting component of this.
Because no one would look in there.
Parts of the time...
People don't recycle.
During the chase, out here, I don't know.
Parts of the time during the chase, they kept happening to remind people,
we are butting up against LAX airspace.
And so there are limitations on what sort of...
Any good GTA players knows.
Okay.
Helicopters can't go to the airport.
So towards the end, they lost him for a minute.
And they're like, no, because he got off and he got into,
just like whenever T.C. last Sunday and I,
last Sunday when TC and I were walking
and a guy just entered a home
that's what this guy did he ditched the bike in a neighborhood
ran into a home
ran through some apartments and then
they spotted him getting
into a recycling bin
and he pulled the thing closed
but they didn't spot him right there
yeah
yeah so it was
it was a really
incredible eventful night
fun way to close out the
I would like to
for the news lot going on
you know what would be good is a where are
now, like five years from now,
talk to this guy.
Like, what happened?
How much?
You know, are you still paying fines?
See, I was even thinking...
There's no way this guy can afford
whatever they're going to levy at him.
There's no way they can do everyone to the max
because when he was on the phone,
one of the color guy was speculating.
He's like, who's he calling?
The guy who's going to bail him out?
I'm like, can you just get bailed out from this?
Like, you've been...
You've driven...
Right, if you cause the police copters,
everything to get up.
Put people a daint at risk.
You know, one of them breaks a fingernail,
and now you've assaulted a cop somehow.
Whatever they can book, they can go at you.
I think they would.
Clayton and I were indulging some of this the other day.
There's a YouTube channel I love that's a lot of stuff like this,
but it's done months later,
so they will have, you know, like court documents
where the guy explains the judge, like, what was going on and stuff like that.
It's called Midwest Safety.
They'll just take all the, like, cop,
cam and like stitch it together.
It's amazing stuff. You'd really like it.
Well, this man,
he got arrested, but this is 19 years old.
I'm going to say that's our Dumb Zone California listener of the day.
The Dumb Zone New.
Like and subscribe.
Okay.
I had the donkey drop ready, but you're not giving him that.
I'm pleased that this team listens to rap music that still has lyrics.
Like, this has got to be the guys on the other side of 30.
Yeah.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
All right, well, we'll do viewer mail birthdays.
Our last one from California.
Boy, just the Dan Jake and Blake team tonight, huh?
It's on the docket.
What do you want to do?
Club?
What would that even mean?
It's alumni night.
Let's go to the club.
Oh, yeah.
Let's go dancing.
I would love that.
I want to go dancing.
I would love that.
I'm out.
Man, there was a place.
Come on, man.
Let's party.
I walked by this place the other day in Fort Worth.
Do you ever go to Studio 80, Grimm?
No.
It was a...
Maybe it's still there, but it's in Fort Worth.
I think it's still there.
And it's just nothing, but it's just straight 80s.
At opening day...
That's interesting.
It's so much fun, man.
Studio 80...
All ages of people you'll see that.
Had sponsored, like, they had...
They had a pirate ship that they were driving around opening day that said Studio 80 on the side.
So I assume it's thriving if they've got pirate ship money.
I'd love to go to a show.
Hey, Ham.
All right, view of real birthdays.
What's up, fellas?
I get to wish happy birthday to myself.
I'm turning 55.
I share a birthday with Wilp the Stilt.
That's the only stat I share with him.
I'm a day four sub, number 2279.
Do you know about the infamous Wilk Chamberlain?
Women.
Statt?
Yeah, okay.
Had lots of sex, basically.
Good for him.
I've had the honor of emailing Jake a few times
about random hip-hop concerts.
I took my son to see Wu-Tang and run the Jewel's last Father's Day.
This dude has quite the dossier.
And I saw Afro-Man last week.
All right.
I also had the privilege of meeting Chappie at the car wash when he had mustard on his face,
and I still laugh about that often.
Yep.
One of the funniest emails I ever got in my life reading that.
I saw your dad over the weekend with some mustard on his face.
He also says he's a dad of two Argyle kids, so he has met.
He said the thrill of meeting Argyll's face of the dumb zone, Blake,
Jones at a few football games.
All right.
See you at the new stadium in a few weeks.
This guy's easily thrilled.
A new facility?
We did.
All right.
Double D.
Brand new stadium.
How much did it cost?
I don't know.
Was it better than the Allen Stadium?
Two elementary schools?
It's not Allen or McKinney.
But it's nice.
Cost them two teachers.
As long as we're not giving that money to poor people.
This is from Derek.
He says, I now work for Brad Zeppelin.
There's one in South Lake.
I'll hook you.
guys up with food whenever.
Nice.
All right.
This is Derek in Argyll, and Clayton claims that bread zeppelin rules.
What is it?
Derek.
Is it like bowls?
Yeah, like a bread bowl.
Yeah, there's lots of bread.
Then you eat it.
And there was that band.
I turned 25, August 22nd.
I guess this is Sunday.
Would love a shout out from some of my favorite people.
Quick movie trope.
In westerns, the traveling party can always double back and find out if anyone is tracking them.
Someone is always tracking them.
If I was doubling back all the time, I would never get anywhere, it seems.
I'm traveling twice as far.
Stop complaining about the results you're not getting from the work you're not putting in.
Stay hard from Jim Pickrell.
Solid email.
Yeah.
Navajo. You know that that was a big
trope from when I was a kid. I'm sure they still
do it now, but in like Loansome Dove,
you have to have your token
native with you to pick up
the sand and kind of smell it, be like
this way. Just kind of
look. He knows that the white man
is not evil. There's a ton of
it's just a big, messy
area in the dirt.
It kind of looks. There's four
horses. There's
three people walking. Two of the
horses had people on them. Like, you
can tell because of the imprint.
But he can only speak
at the verbal intonation of
Frankenstein.
Yes, yes.
No, they don't have...
Horsum.
Welcome, Eastum.
The, and all that kind of stuff.
Why did you only get
those parts of our...
You pick them bad.
Dear Mr. Grabbing by the Can,
man.
Nice.
Today's my 52nd birthday
married, blah, blah, blah.
Leaders are Brad Sham's
action culots?
What's a cul-line?
Shorts?
I'm assuming long shorts.
Big giant shorts.
Keppala's buttermilk flapjacks.
Man.
They're not flamm.
And Arlington, Texas for being the Kipfag capital of the world.
That's right.
That, of course, is the...
The female rules.
Yep. Rangers.
Scouting director.
Keep sniffing lawnmower seats from Jason Robinson.
Did he spell that C-U-L-O-T-E-S?
Is that that word?
Yeah.
Cool-O-O-P?
Yeah, that's right.
I didn't know that word before, but it's so funny.
Why did he call it?
It's action?
Action, yeah.
Action, cool-lop.
It's like what Ben Franklin wore.
It's a picture of James Monroe.
There's a dumb zone for
Kulats with your PF 50 plus in them.
Are you tired of stiff Kulats?
He's wearing a shirt today that just says
Big fan of human rights.
Of course.
Just to kind of let you know.
Of course.
Dear Dr. Dickham Down,
today is my wife Abigail's birthday.
Hot name.
You may recall her email from yesterday for my birthday.
Yeah.
Although one slight correction I have
I didn't plan our wedding close to her birthday for a two-fer
I don't like to celebrate my own birthday so it's actually a three-fer
Anyway it's Abby's
It's 25th birthday
So we're excited for her brain to finally fully develop
She will be woken up in that special way
Her leaders are Bad Bunny halftime show
herself for her cool pregnancy announcement
and probably me.
Probably.
Never punt when you have Brandon Aubrey from Will.
So they're still married after the email from a couple days ago.
It's nice.
So far.
I like how they always,
this is how we get to the manosphere.
Oh, we never talked about breaking contain.
Ah, it was on my run sheet.
We'll get to it.
Before we close shop.
Damn it.
No, I like when they're like, oh, yeah.
Man's brain's not fully developed until he's 25.
I'm like, are you bragging about the fact
y'all stops developing earlier?
It's like, now we're good here.
We just stop.
It doesn't take as long to grow.
It's not getting this big.
No, it's just...
What I'm saying?
Peanut.
It's so fun.
My brain's a shower, not a grower.
Greetings, California, crevice hunters.
Today's my 36, not walking up in that special,
most special of ways, so I did it myself
because I'm married.
leaders are Blake's slightly feminine Argyle Lady Eagle play-by-play cadence,
Jake's high tea,
the blocked on Twitter by TC Club,
and Dan's tinned fish smell.
For my birthday, I would like Jake's thoughts on hashtag defund paw patrol.
Keep flicking that bean from Justin.
Yeah.
They're becoming semi-militaristic, don't you think?
Yeah, you could really tell when they got an infusion of cash from a new line-item budget,
and they get all their paramilitary equipment.
No, I think that TCs, all cops are bad guys, so he's out on Paul Patrol.
I love the poison.
It might have been your wife who once told me that.
But I think that show just sucks because it has no ambition.
There are good kids shows, they're bad ones, and that one sucks.
The daughter never had the slightest bit of interest in it.
Yeah, it's not developed.
There's a reason Romo is really into it.
They're very short insights.
You can follow the plot.
Yeah, just nothing to it.
I thought you'd be into Mayor Goodway.
Paw Patrol isn't pulling over any legendary ex-quarterbacks.
Is that the new mayor with the big ass?
Yes.
Yeah, no, they'll put big asses in Paw Patrol.
The movie, they have a female villain with, it's insane.
There's just no excuse to have.
She's in like a prison jumpsuit and just a giant ass.
And she's supposed to be the mad scientist that's evil.
Yeah.
And she's just dragging that wagon.
Yeah.
You're already kind of supposed to think she's hot.
Yeah.
Like, oh, what she's up to?
They're like, make her ass bigger.
Dan took a picture with a woman yesterday.
Oh, yeah.
Who?
You did.
You did.
You did.
Oh, I took a picture with her.
Yeah, that's what I said.
Okay.
No, I thought you're, no, the way you said it is like I secretly took a picture of.
Well, don't make it not creepy.
It wasn't creepy at all.
It was a little bit creepy.
She loved it.
She had no idea what was happening.
We see the same nice lady at the sushi place every single year.
I've been seeing her for, yes, over a decade.
It's the sushi place that Craig Miller loves, and we would go there together once a year.
And, yeah, and I sent the picture to Craig Miller.
and he showed
you know he showed jealousy that he wasn't there
and he feels sure
did you did you edit it with the ass
slider
yeah
that lady did not have a big ass
I don't know what you're talking about
you're looking at a sushi restaurant
well she did have one to start with
but
and I have one more
controversial final birthday here
it's from Kelly
who writes
I know you're not going to be happy about this
Jason said he didn't hear his birthday shoutout
any chance you would do a belated one tomorrow.
Wow.
And this was from Monday.
We had an email from Kelly who wants to wish my husband Jason a happy 40th.
She called him Jay Money.
You rated their kid's name.
I remember that.
Maxwell, Elliot, and Annie May.
Now, okay, I won't say my thoughts.
I just want to open it up for this.
I feel this is a very controversial email.
Because in a previous iteration, if you missed it on the radio, it's gone.
You can't.
Right.
But in this new world, you could just go back to that episode and listen to it.
Is that your problem?
Yeah, very clearly.
Like, does Jason only...
Listen live?
Tune in live on YouTube.
That's the place we're available live every day.
For now.
But, yeah, that seems really weird, but you've already read it.
I wouldn't have.
Now it's like...
I would have been.
block that email.
You would block
Kelly's email.
Absolutely.
That's surprising.
Now what if she is locked in something?
Yeah, I don't like to block.
I like people to lock in annuals.
Just do it again.
Well, I kind of did, but
all right.
I told you it was a, I told you it's controversial.
I'll go controversial on you.
Game Day men's health presents on this day in history.
For a while we were doing like, hey,
it's my kids.
My kids first.
great teacher's dog's birthday
you got so loosey-goosey
towards the end there
so that's not the worst
okay well why do you have to
criticize me to say that this
was okay because you read it
so today is
Thursday August 20th
this day in 1884
the first boxing match was fought
with gloves
pussies
boy
why don't you put some dresses on them
one time sirroy was filling in on this day
and he called him bitch mittens
I've never forgotten that
he's right
yeah I mean you can
they think in Ireland you can still find on YouTube
they'll
they still fight without gloves
yeah YouTube is great
fight in Ireland
yeah
the year
1938 the place Cleveland
on this day in 1938
about 10,000 people
on a Saturday morning
went to an event
organized by the
Come to Cleveland Committee.
Okay, good.
So five members of the Indians
attempt to set a record
by catching a baseball
thrown from the top
of the terminal tower.
The terminal tower, I believe, is once
the second tallest building
in the United States.
Oh, it's big for you.
You sound like Borat.
Yeah.
At one time Cleveland
had not tallest but second.
And Henry Helens.
You know him as the third string catcher.
He caught a ball.
They estimated, because it's 1938.
Right.
That it was traveling at the speed of 138 miles an hour.
They kind of like eyeballed it.
I don't know.
It sounded like 138.
They had a horse falling next to it.
It's the only way.
And of course, that broke a record that at the time,
Jake said was unbreakable.
I remember we were doing a show and he said,
no one will break Gabby Street's mark.
See?
Gabby Street had caught a ball.
He was a Washington Senator's catcher.
In 1908, someone dropped it off the Washington Monument,
which was 555 feet tall.
Stood for 30 years.
Perhaps like it's because no one else tried to catch one.
Which ball was going faster, Dan?
It's hard to say.
You think anybody got killed doing this?
There had to be injuries.
Like in a minor league level or something, right?
I mean, this is the age of pole sitting.
Yeah.
Catching balls that are dropped off real high stuff.
Okay, so everyone's eyesight.
Trains versus horses, you know.
Indy race yesterday?
Yeah.
Yes, we're trying a lot of stuff.
Now, you are talking about baseball players, so even back then, they've got the best eyesight of anyone.
But imagine, I mean,
just looking up seven stories, seven, whatever it is.
I feel like death is not out of the question.
On this day in 1989,
entertainment executive Jose Menendez and his wife, Kitty,
were shot and killed in their Beverly Hills mansion
by their sons, Lyle and Eric.
They had a Netflix documentary recently.
Then there was a little bit of a, hey, free Lyle,
and then that kind of went away.
Football seasons.
Yeah, a lot of brought.
Coming around.
I had to get my fantasy order.
On this day in 2008, a Spanish jetliner crashed during takeoff from Madrid, killing 154 people.
18 survived.
Oh.
Too many.
Too many.
On this day in 2013, the NFL suspended Denver Broncos linebacker von Miller.
for the first six games of the season
for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
Well, that's just trying too hard.
What they said was he was too clean.
They were like, I can't believe this is this clean.
Yeah.
We can't let you play.
That's the last time he'll be suspended.
Two famous weddings on this date.
In 2011, you have Kim Kardashian in a Made for TV wedding with Chris Humphreys.
she would file for divorce 72 days later.
Yeah.
On this day in 2013, an actor named Maximilian Schell, C-H-S-C-H-E-L-L.
He's 82.
Married an opera singer named Iva Mahonovich.
She's 35.
82-35.
How long did this marriage last?
166 days until he died.
Wow.
That's a pretty nice work by her, right?
Yeah, that's best case.
A few months later.
So it's August 20th, this day in Dumbzone history.
This day in 2024, we had a Dan fights with his wife.
Dan ruined her white pants by leaving a purple crayon in the laundry while doing whites.
Uh-oh.
Someone put the crayon.
Obviously, I didn't, but I didn't check the pockets.
Were you doing a lot of drawing that?
guilty as charged.
Maybe a little coloring Barney.
Dan and Jake also bet the Cowboys would start 5-0 on the season.
That's right before I went to rehab.
I believe they started two and lost that one.
Yeah, that was a logical point.
But at the same time, Dan was right there with me.
I'm in the joint every week just like, God, they may win one.
The early season schedule looked good.
They should.
They gave up 50 points in game two.
Yeah, they won at the Browns.
No, this is four years, three years ago.
No, I'm right.
Last year was your fifth points, wasn't it?
This was the year we went to Cleveland.
It was Cleveland, and they lost to the Saints in week two,
and then lost bad with the Ravens week three.
With your guy.
And by week four, we had.
The Raiders coached.
Yeah, Kubiak.
Yeah.
Remember, that's where we were like, Kubiak,
head coach next year for sure.
Yeah.
And then did he get fired by the Saints?
He did, right?
Just as part of the general cleaning house.
Yeah, it was a full, yeah.
Then in 2020, the NBA bubble was starting back up.
And for some reason, Mavsman was there, and he was wearing a BLM shirt.
Oh, my man.
So the bubble?
We had a Mavsman in the bubble?
I guess.
The classic uniform or the night one?
I don't know that.
But just putting political statements on mascots.
I hate pretty hilarious.
He didn't have.
economic opportunity on this.
No, group economics is taken.
God, man.
Nothing makes me laugh harder than putting Champ
in real, like, when they dress
them up as a troop and make him stand
next to a guy with no legs who's like
saluting. Yeah, he's saluting.
It's like,
Does Champ
have to take off his
fake army hat when they do the
national anthem? He does. Great question.
But if you're in the Army, you don't have to.
That's what I mean, if you're in the military.
Seats for Soldiers' Night's so great every time.
It's getting to see Gary Sinise and Champ meet up.
It's usually a rocking game.
Other birthdays today, we have Yerke.
Yoki Paca is 35.
Damn.
I wonder where Yerkees at these days.
A little beef Yerkeye.
Don King is today still alive at 95.
Congratulations.
Incredible.
Great Cleveland dirt.
Just live clean.
Pro Bowl quarterback.
Mitchell Chubisky is 32.
Congratulations to him.
He was a pro bowler with the Bears.
He loves kissing tities.
He played in a playoff game.
Tunnels are so dope.
Broadcast on Nickelodeon.
I think he won Nickelodeon MVP of that broadcast.
Didn't get the win, but.
Was he the backup order in the
drive-through line.
I think he was, right?
Duffy Waldorf is 64.
Would Joe Kemp play as Duffy Waldorf and Tiger Woods Golf?
Boy, that's a good one.
Todd Helton is 53.
Greg Nettles is 82.
Now, Greg Nettles is a player that I had heard of as a kid,
but I think it was just a little bit out of my
sports watching.
And I bring him up next to Todd Hilton
because Todd Hilton has a 61.8 war
in the Hall of Fame.
Greg Nettle's 67.9 war
not in the Hall of Fame.
Wow.
The Hall of Fame is watered down.
Yeah.
It's probably like the football one.
It's the only one where it feels like
you really have to be good.
I've always thought the football one
to have a minimum number
that you put in every year.
negates what you're saying.
There's a lot more people playing football.
True.
But still, they make it a minimum.
Kind of saying, well, even if there's not enough this year.
I feel like the basketball one's the worst,
where there's a lot of people who are pretty mid-basketball players
that are not in their Hall of Fame.
Including Derek Rose, who they want you to put in.
Derek Rose absolutely belongs.
Why have a hall if you're not going to have Derek Rose?
And then the baseball is a middle ground.
And just if you're looking at the average quality,
when you're walking around feeling the busts as I was the last week.
People in the Football Hall of Fame are great.
Blow me up on feeling the bust, bro.
Did you catch the guy that they had on close circuit TV
that would just wait for questions at the Hall of Fame?
What was that?
No, I didn't see it.
We were at the Hall of Fame and it was like a month ago.
Oh, the British guy that?
would talk to you?
Yes.
That was so weird.
There's a guy that's like on a Zoom call
that just anyone walking by,
he's like, hello, I'd like to tell you about for Paul.
We walked past him, he said,
hey, how you doing, mate?
I'm like, what the hell?
So it's a live feed.
Yeah.
I don't know his story.
He knew the tour guide with it.
He was like, oh, it's so good to see you, Motha.
They just pay him to stay.
Right, right.
The tour guide knew who you was.
Connie Chung is.
80 married to.
Moripovich.
Robert Plant is 78.
Speaking of Brad Zeppelin.
Rudy Gatlin, country singer is 74.
Al Roker is 72. He's from Cleveland.
Used to be real fat, too.
The Today Show Weatherman?
Oh, yeah. Did you know he was a big man?
Of course.
I predict Snow L. Roker.
He wouldn't learn about of Cleveland unless he got skinny.
Actor Ray Wise.
is 79.
He's well known on
Twin Peaks. I never got into that,
but I've seen him on Tim and Eric.
Tim and Eric.
Is it time for sprints?
Demi Lovato is 34.
Too much.
Too much Demi Lovato?
Too much going on with her.
It feels like it's...
Calm down a bit.
I thought it has.
I guess it's been a bit, but I don't know,
she got sober.
Good for her.
She was at, yeah, she was definitely
had an air out here.
Man, you can't swim.
a dead cat
without a
somebody who got
sober.
That's true.
What's up with that?
Time for me to zig.
Amy Adams,
actress,
52.
What a talent.
In one of my
favorite, if not
my favorite movie.
Oh, yeah.
I love a rival.
You know that.
Andrew Garfield
is 43.
I was actually thinking
about a rival
when I was falling asleep
last night,
thinking would I
still think
I think it's as good, or was I swayed by the fact that I also had, like, a young daughter at the time?
Because you get a little emotional there.
Definitely.
Get a little tear to the eye watching arrival.
Problem is, I've just been gay like a dad my whole life.
Like, I think I was probably in my 20s when I watched that.
I'm like, whew-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
Yeah.
But I'll cry at insurance commercials.
It's not getting any better.
Andrew Garfield is 43?
Another great man.
Definitely the name.
that most sounds like a president that's not.
Yeah.
Kay Hugh Kwan is 55.
Hit the Kwan.
That is short round in Indiana Jones
in the Temple of Dune.
Oh, wow.
Or he was also in everything everywhere all at once.
Kind of did a comeback 40 years later.
Big for him.
A couple birthdays that Blake has alerted me, too.
Billy Gardell is 57.
Yeah.
He's a knockoff Kevin James.
He was in Yes, Deere.
He's Mike and Mike and Molly.
Oh, okay, I know you're talking about.
Oh, my God.
Big guy.
Just imagine knowing the dollar store version of Kevin James.
This is Reliant K.
You think I don't know the third version of Tom DeLong.
This guy sucks.
Hey.
This guy sucks so bad.
He's funny.
No.
No, no.
Kevin James, I'll give you, but the scale.
That.
No thanks.
Especially after he lost all the weight.
He's not funny anymore.
I didn't know that.
Mike and Molly.
Not bad.
Come on.
And our Dumb's on birthday of the day is...
Now, if Molly meant ecstasy,
then maybe you would have had a premise.
Unless McCarthy's very nice.
I'm more into her than him.
Go ahead.
Dumbs on birthday of the day.
Fred Durst is 56.
Yeah.
Oh, happy birthday.
I'm really pleased with how he's turned out in older age.
Absolutely.
Like really gracefully.
compared to what I expected.
He's aged into himself.
He thinks it's funny.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Kid Rock's the bad case.
Fred Durst's absolute best case.
I'm sure Fred Durst has a lot of really, like, whoa, takes.
But you don't know about all of them.
He's not constantly, he's not shooting beer.
He just gets up there and fucks around.
It's kind of what he's always done.
Do you know the Van Halen Fred Durst story?
I don't think.
I think you have to take Van Halen's word for it,
but it's in like a biography of Van Halen.
He told the biographer that he jammed with Limp Biscuit after Wes left.
They were talking about maybe doing something.
He found all of them to be kind of, you know, not on Eddie Van Halen's level.
So he jetted out of there.
He was just kind of bored with it.
And then texted him about getting his gear back
and did not respond to the text as quickly as he was hoping.
After a couple days of not hearing from Fred Durst,
Eddie Van Halen apparently had like
decommissioned military vehicles
and like drove a thing with like
an attached gun down to Fred Durst's
house, had a pistol
and knocked on the door, Fred Durst
opens it and holds the pistol to his head
like, give me my guitar.
Dang. That's a lot.
It is a lot. It's the kind of stuff
that happens out here.
It's Hollywood, baby.
Born on this day now dead. This one's from
Blake. I don't know who this is.
Pedro Gomez.
Oh, the ESPN guy?
Yeah.
Oh. I thought he was good.
I didn't remember him dying.
Back when ESPN was good.
He had stunningly white hair.
Yeah.
Also born on the stay now dead,
Alan Reed,
the voice of Fred Flintstone.
Oh, you had a read.
He used to
tell kids that these are the
cigarettes that Fred Flintstones folks.
Winston's.
Did you ever see?
see that?
Incredible.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The Flintstones used to do ads for cigarettes.
You know, there's a lot of adults to watch the Flintstones.
What's wrong with that.
What a time.
Well, they probably, at the time, I don't know.
At the time, was it a primetime show that adults did watch?
I think it kind of was.
Like it was on just during the week?
I think so, like in the 60s.
Dinner time Flintstones?
That's diabolical.
I don't think it was made for, yeah.
It was like a spoof of
Honeymoorers
Not a spoof, but it kind of just
Yeah
So it's King of Queens
Thanks
Right
It was that
It was that
It was that
Mike and Molly
They had to
When they decided that you couldn't
Hit the woman on the show anymore
They had to give you a much hotter woman
To make the guys like all right
Because trust me
He'd want to hit her but we can't
So now there's a woman way out of his league
That's how we got Betty Rubble
Betty might have been my first crush
Bad beat
What are you looking for there, Chief?
Hi, you're Mr. Flintstone
Greetings, Rocky, my boy, pack of Winston's please
Oh, you like them Winston's cigarettes, huh, Mr. Flintstone?
But of course, they really got something.
You, but...
All right.
That's amazing.
It's awesome.
That's that guy.
Also born on the stay now dead.
Isaac Hayes
chef
I did not realize
until today
I'm just talking about
that him leaving
South Park was controversial
yeah
and that it was because
he was a Scientologist
did you know that?
Yeah
how did I not know that
their last episode
they had to take old recordings
of his to kill him off
I thought he just died in real life
no I mean
so the Matt and Trey's
position on this
because there was a big
letter released by Isaac Hayes being
like, I hate everyone at South Park
because of the terrible things they said about Scientology.
It's their contention, because he died
quickly thereafter, that there's
no way that he was in any condition to write
a letter. It was just
Scientology handlers saying
that Isaac Hayes was pissed off.
So Top Cruise wrote that letter.
That's right, yeah.
Or what's...
Miscovich's wife? David
Misch, whatever's name?
Shelly Miscovich.
What happened? Her?
Okay.
She's not far from here.
That makes sense.
And I've, because I saw some things where they were like, hey, we actually make fun of like every religion pretty hard.
And he was pretty much on board with all of that.
Yeah.
And then all of us, it was the.
Now you're going to do a Scientotel?
Like, yeah.
Mr. Cruz, please come out of the closet.
Yeah, dude.
I'm reading it now and his son says, think about how dated this sounds.
There was no trouble when it first aired.
But then, like, six or seven months later when reruns were airing, someone saw it and got pissed.
Yeah.
Like, it had been out for six or seven months before Tom Cruise.
So do you think that he didn't know?
Yes.
Cash now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Also born on the Stay Now Dead, dime bag.
Darrell Abbott.
Oh, man.
Of Dantera.
Someone got woken up.
Donovan?
Donovan, yeah.
When he died, that's a good story.
Yeah.
I stepped out of class and called Danny.
I was like, do I need to come in still?
It's a big deal.
Killed on stage, bro.
Oh.
That's not a joke?
You actually did?
Yeah, I mean, I was, yeah.
Electricution?
No, someone shot him.
On stage, dude.
I thought his guitar wasn't grounded.
He got assassinated.
Damn.
In Cleveland or Cincinnati?
What happened to the dude that killed him?
Or I'm assuming it's a woman.
Do you know?
We would never do that, not in Cleveland.
I'm pretty sure they shot the guy.
There was a security guard there.
I saw something about, I think it was that security guard,
like for charity was doing cameos or something.
Or like had memorabilia from the night.
He was doing something.
Picking your draft order.
And then dead on this day still dead, you have Jerry Lewis.
Oh, my God.
And that's what happened.
on this day in history.
He buried his cousin who was 12 years old.
That's Jerry Lee Lewis.
Columbus.
25-year-old dude.
All right, guys. Have a good weekend.
See you, buddy.
You too, man.
Rush is the stage, shoots habit several times.
Three minutes after opening fire,
a guy took a hostage in a negotiation tempt,
but was shot in the forehead with a shotgun
by responding officer James.
Say it.
Say it.
Nijmire.
No.
His name is spelled
N-I-G-G-E-M-E-Y-E-R.
Oh, wow.
So if you want to
cameo.
That's pronounced that one.
All right.
It's okay if you drop the R at the end.
Wow, that's...
Yeah.
That's pretty badass.
The, uh, hey, I'm taking a high...
Yeah.
Oh, you are?
No.
You won't shoot me with this person in front...
Oh.
Yeah.
You certainly wouldn't risk the possibility that your shooting wasn't straight and hit the...
Yep.
I guess I chose too low leverage of a hostage to scare him off here at all.
So was he just...
He hated Pantera or dying bet?
Like, is there a...
Was he going for him or just going for...
He's a deranged fan.
Yeah.
Schizophrenic.
I think I was in the military.
Had some issues.
Was he an officer or was he enlisted?
I'm going to bet enlisted.
I've learned to question that now.
So I know who to...
Wait, who am I looking down upon, though?
Oh, neither really.
They each are looking down and maybe on each other.
The nut jobs will be from the enlisted ranks, though.
Oh, okay.
You will admit that, as in the listed man yourself.
So what happened on Instagram?
Oh, this is the break contained?
I looked at Instagram when we were at dinner the other night,
and the first post that came up that I saw was a dumb zone post
of us talking about Seattle Seahawks preseason play-by-play announcer Kate Scott.
Can I, before we just reveal all that, let's just do our thank yous real quick for our sponsor here at training camp because it's the end of camp.

trip out here as well. Out here, California Way and gold. All right. So what happened? Instagram.
You call this breaking contain. What?
What does that mean?
Well, if I look at an Instagram post of ours and it has 100 plus comments,
like I know that something has happened.
There's no way that our audience is that engaged with one.
They're not going to go back.
That's not where they go back and forth.
There's no reason for it other than a lot of people who don't know anything about our show
have seen this clip now and have an opinion.
And this happened previously with a...
It's happened a couple times.
Some country that we were making fun of?
Yeah, Belgium was mad at us for not knowing that they spoke, whatever they speak.
Belgianese.
It's French.
It's French.
I don't care.
I just, at the root of it, I don't care.
I was making a comment about my time on a Southwest Airlines flight.
That's it.
There were a lot of maybe other side of 60 hot flight attendants that were still really taking care of themselves.
and putting in the work every day.
And that had a life cycle of breaking containment
where initially we were pigs
and I can't believe this is a lot like talking about
the Latino teachers.
Oh, people were upset that you were saying

Most of the time in the comments, it's people whose algorithm we've hit are piling on altogether.

But the people who are against us typically have funnier comments.

Yep.
They've up their game.
Somebody said, the dumb zone.
How apropos.
Ah, yeah.
Can you be APRA something else?
Apar anti.
What does it even mean?
Is it like Latin?
I mean, APRA is before.
Right.
Does it?
The dumb zone.
Guess that's why they call it the dumb zone.
Guess so.
This was fun.
This is a lot of fun.
This has been fun.
Any closing remarks from Matt Grimm?
Yeah, guys.
Thanks for having me again.
I'm not retiring, so we'll get that out of the way.
Thank you.
Last time I had that.
Yeah, dude.
I'm inviting myself back every single time, so thanks again, guys.
Well, I'll tell you what.
One way or another, you'll be in Seattle with us if you're available.
I don't know that we're taking the RV, but we have to have hands.
Houston, too.
Houston.
Yeah.
We got a big football.
I mean, we got a road to Valentine's Day, boys.
A lot going on.
So we have an enclosing remarks from the guy who has never been here before,
but for probably 20 years you've heard about the tennis courts.
Now you sit on the tennis courts.
You've experienced practice.
It's been as magical as I could ever imagine.
I really appreciate you guys having me out.
I've had a ton of fun.
This is, yeah, it's been.
One of the great times anyone's ever had.
That's what people are saying.
That ocean was whipping last night.
It was good stuff.
I was getting knocked around.
You look great.
I think T.C. went in the ocean more than we went to Spencers.
It makes me happy to see T.C. get in the ocean.
That was awesome.
It does me, too.
I tried telling you, oh, guys.
He enjoys it so much.
It wears off on people.
How many burritos did you?
I think you beat me.
I had four or five.
I'll have to think about it.
I had four or five.
I'm taking four home, though.
They're not Spencer.
They are burritos.
That doesn't count.
I'm coming back in two weeks, too, so I'll pass you.
The burrito from the sidewalk place last night.
I was a mistake not going to that until...
You guys are eating at the sidewalk place?
The sidewalk place is so good.
Dude, I learned what a mulete was.
The place is everybody at Vons?
I lived in Texas my whole life.
I eat...
Damn they ate dinner at like 11 o'clock Dallas time.
Every night at the sidewalk place.
It was so good.
And the burrito is probably the best item.
And I didn't get it until the end.
I was getting ready to go to bed.
And they come back with just the greasiest food.
I could not believe it.
Okay, so your passive-aggressive-aggressive I'm going to bed thing was after that.
Oh, okay.
That was pretty late.
Yeah.
Really, really late.
I'm sorry.
I mean, family feud was on.
That's how late it was.
Adios, low, folks.
We've got to go before this becomes a zoo.
See you guys for drinks later.
