We got big games this weekend, which means you need to be at home, not at some dealership. If you're looking to upgrade your vehicle, do that with Fairlease at Fairlease.org. Where is their dealership?

It's on your couch while you're watching football. It's online at Fairlease.org. It's in the computer. It's all computer. They're affiliated with the Credit Union of Texas, which means when you support them, you're supporting Texas, and you're supporting football at Fairlease.org. You'll get more for your trade, pay less for your next car. We've heard from a ton of people who have worked with Fair Lease. They were in upside down bad leases with other national leasing companies.

DNM, they were helping get out of. We've got people on the business side, commercial fleets that they've gotten hooked up through Fair Lease. Whatever your vehicle situation is, before you contact anyone else, give Fairlease a chance to earn your business at Fairlease.org. All right, all right, all right. All right. We haven't been here for four days. We did four days on, four days off. Firefighters.

Four days on now. And good morning slash afternoon, everybody. I'm Dan McDowell. Hello, friends. I ask for my audio to be up. Gosh, bless it. Go, go. Somebody go.

TRT for life if you just mention the dumb zone I hope no it is it kind of works like it worked for our guy like in Denver and Austin just try it wherever you are just see but definitely at all the DFW

area game day men's health clinics clinic you're telling me you wouldn't know that was shot What? Is that Jake Kemp? That doesn't sound like him? It does.

Okay. I've been listening to a lot of Shottie. I finally got the intentionality song done that I've been thinking about for, I don't know, minutes. Went through a lot of Shottie audio over the weekend. Shottio. Shottie Audio. Shottie, audio. That is coming up on today's program.

We have audio out the real. year end. So if you like listening to audio on your podcast, that is an audio thing, well, you're in luck, kids, because we have lots of audio, because we don't want to do all the talking. We do the advertising. You do the talking. Did we mention we ran into Daryl and Plano's son at the airport? Oh, yeah. I think his name's Riley. Yeah, he does like some kind of video games or something. Yeah. In fact, yeah, he was kind of wondering about Blake leaving the streams. Could he do anything to help, perhaps?

People are reaching out, Blake. People are lining up to take your job. Have at it. Is he going to bring Daryl if he gets the job? Yeah. Package deal. Yeah, we would require that. In fact, for him to even talk to me again.

Should we have Daryl pick games against my dad? That would be awesome. planning the fall here was darrell the you do the advertising he does the picking yeah it came from the choice uh to charr choice uh redskins game where is he the one that said he's an idiot yeah well he's an idiot careful darrell careful hey norm i've seen some of your picks at the track they're not too good neither gold anyway lots of audio uh on today's program We also have a sit-in. He is Alec Fedro.

It looks like an Alec Fedro. Thank you. We'll talk to him certainly at the end of the program, but Alec is one of the guys who offered, and we never took it up. Never took you up on it. I talked to you there, right? Yeah, he did. Yeah, I spoke a couple times.

You offered to... Wrap the car. He was going to wrap his car. with a dumb zone rap with a QR code and all that kind of stuff. I knew I recognized the name. Yeah. And then he brought, or I guess, I don't know, was this guy just walking by, Billy? Yeah, he's walking in the neighborhood.

Yeah, I found him off the street. And he's being terrorized. So, oh, by the dog, yeah. Yeah, can we get a dog sit rep? How are the boys since we've been gone? It's just a lot going on. I think you missed the cone era. Yeah.

Yeah, I did. Yeah, I had a cyst explode on my dog's head, just kind of like your dog. Yeah. Because I do everything you do. Did it shoot you in the face? Had to get Bukakkied by dogs bus. Gross. And then he was wearing a cone for a couple of weeks.

Very sad. Very sad when he's wearing that cone. Just like always, he's giving Blake when he's wearing that cone. He's just always beaten. I don't know the human equivalent. It's probably like the, like having to put the I Love My Wife sticker on the back of your van or something. Just constantly looking embarrassed. Matching shirts on vacation.

Oh, man. It's like, hey, don't rip it your. infected wound and we won't put this on. He just can't seem to understand that. Yep. Yep. Well, thanks, Alec Fedro. How would he be here?

For joining us in the den. Oh. Do we, are we running a knockout land yet? Yeah. Yeah, it's not added to the website yet, but it's up and running. Okay, so let's add it to the website. We have, for the second year in a row, the Dumb Zone Knockout League. You know what Knockout League is?

I do. You ever played in one? No. Why don't you join ours? Can I? Yeah. It's Knockout League. I said that like it's a radio station where I couldn't win.

There's like there are no rules. You missed out on last year. Yeah, I'm in. You can do this year. I'm in. Knockout. dot dumbzone dot com so you got to pick a game every week just a winner just pick a win it sounds so easy last year so it's 50 bucks to join half will go to charity and half will go to the winner

uh of the whole pot now i want you to know if we had our one half would go to the dumpso. We can't, we're not allowed to do that. It's true. We checked. So before you go, oh, these guys are so great for donating to charity, we're not. We were not, and we were hoping to make this a profitable venture. Our lawyer, one of our many lawyers, said, you know what, that's actually illegal.

You cannot have gambling on the site, but if you gave proceeds to charity, it will. So then we meet a lot of people throughout the year. Let me list them off for you Well, I apologize. I was going to say Meg Matters is one. McMatters, Susan G. Komen, the San Bot Charity. You could see the ones we've donated to this year. A listener who had a child who was going through serious medical conditions and needed help. A fire over at TCU for the medical students.

This was to fight the fire, not to start it. And then we wrapped it up with Texas flood relief. So we donate a lot of money through this thing. again against our wishes but you are helping a good cause but you know what it's it's thanks to you it's thanks to listeners like you yes uh it's on the website it is on dumbzone dot com let's spice it up click dz knockout let's spice it up this is more blake work we'll let people at the end of the year vote on the charities yeah no no we're not going to do that so and i guess um oh Ethan...

It goes to calm awareness of America or something. Yeah, so go to knockout.com or go to dumbzone.com, and you can just click up there. Is it on the top thing? The little... What do you call that? Probably the banner. The banner. The banner.

So, yeah, last year, what did the winner... Actually, we had two guys that had to split the pot, but they split a pot of five figs, correct? Yeah, definitely. The pot. So charity's got... Charity's got about 15 grand, the winters split about 15. It's a healthy... Our man went to Disney World.

Healthy piece of luxury style. Winner got 17K. There you go. We had 740 people. Let's go. I don't know how to do math. That sounds right. I had it written down from last year.

Oh, that probably helps. And then this Friday, we do want to promote that, We are going to go to the next event on our calendar is the Wadaburger in Grand Prairie. And that is at the Bush and Pioneer Parkway 9 a.m. That too early, Alec? You don't look like a guy who's hammered. Get up like seven. Oh, you get up at seven?

Yeah. Generally. All right. So we're out in Grand Prairie, Wadaburger 9 a.m. Because we got a new bat. of uh tariffed it's true folks car trays with the waterburger logo on it and the dumb zone logo on it and uh it's it's jake's dream as a young boy to be able to do something like this man i saw a buddy over the weekend uh at birthday party who got his that day we were out uh at the last waterburger

remote he's like it changed my life it really i use it every day you'll find a use for it whether it's working and listening to the dumb zone or eating water burger come get you a tray and then nathan from uh silverback construction said that uh let's see he's buying 250 dollars of five dollar gift cards and anybody that stops in and says that they're there uh there for the dumb zone will get a five dollar gift card to help you buy breakfast look what we're doing folks you're gonna buy breakfast A couple tequitos and a car tray, and you've spent nothing other than giving us your love. Community Mechanical will be there doing something similar. I forgot what he told me.

He was talking about HVAC stuff. Oh, he thinks he's better than Nate. Come watch him battle it out. Actually, that'd be a really good fight. Would be. Nate versus Travis. So Travis is like 6-7. Travis is the logo on his company Silverback Construction.

No, Nate. I say Travis, yeah, Nate. Nate is built like a gorilla. And Nate is slow to the ground. Travis is built like Greg Oster Tech. Well, he's not gang. He's thick. Yeah.

But Nate is thicker. Low to the ground. It's like a, yes, the trunk of a tree versus a... Let's have a fight night. Boy, that would be quite a battle. Yeah, I like it. Okay, we can see that Friday. Yeah.

at Waterburger in Grand Prairie. Get a breakfast burger and watch them wrestle. Well, you know Nate's wrestling plenty of people. How come I don't see that on our... I want to give some of the copy points for Wedderberger, but I don't see it here. Well, it's Friday. Be there at 9 and get a car tray. Okay.

We'll have fun. Is 9 a.m. too early for a shake? No, on a Friday, especially not. Ooh. Yeah. It's basically the weekend. It looks delightful. And isn't it Labor Day weekend?

Yeah. So you're already going to be partying on Friday? So this is just like Cumulus. We all get to leave her at noon. Yeah. Except. With Cumulus, it's on-air people didn't get to leave at noon. But now we made the rules.

That's right. So on-air people get to leave at noon. Unfortunately, we have to start earlier. But, you know, that's fine. Let's party. I'm like Alec. I'm an early morning guy now. You should tell everyone.

Well, I would like to write an article about getting up at 4 a.m. if I could. Quick hit. I didn't win. Oh, you p-beat it? Did anybody do the Powerball last night? It was like $8 million, $100 million. Like, it was the biggest one ever. Powerball reaches $815 million after no winners Monday.

Oh, good. Then I can win more. You can play again. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. We're still in the mix, very much. I think I didn't win because I let the computer do it. They're not going to let you win.

So what are the odds that a computer is going to pick the same two numbers in the same day? Because I bought it yesterday. I'm going to use my own numbers for the next one. I'm going to carefully craft... Zig when they zag. 4.20, 69. Yeah, just go all bits. You guys think I'm just about bits.

I'm about serious. That's like a Nazi thing. 14. I was lying there, though, thinking. What's Baker 6? Yeah. What would you do if you won the lottery? Have you thought?

Oh, it's, I've been doing a podcast with TC for 15 years based on the thought. Yeah, for sure. It's all, yeah. I think about it a lot. I used to think about it a lot more because I used to want to, like, buy the station. I basically just wanted to fire Cat. Like, that was my whole thing is if I won the lottery, I wanted to walk in and hang. up his phone like while he was on the phone even if he wasn't on the phone i'd pick up the phone

and hang it up and uh be like clean it out bitch that was i swear to god that was to buy it first i know yeah i know but that's going to take a little while there's paperwork to get the um but what what's going to happen if i fire him before the sales complete he's going to hang out i don't think so the message is clear i'm buying the company and then obviously i would you buy all of cumulus we'd have to what would that sell for uh i saw it a lot cheaper these days yeah Yeah, it's not, but, you know, you'd have to to extract the ticket from it. It's the only thing of value they have left. So.

What if you just hired everybody away at double salary? Yeah, I mean, it just seems like it would be easier back then to do it there, right? Like, it's already an infrastructure set up. Yeah, but now you've got to spend all your, like everything you've got on the lottery. Yeah, but you're got to buy all of cumulus. Yeah, I know. I mean, I'm going to finance some of this, obviously. I'm going to get help, but the point is I'm coming out, owning the radio station.

To text 20 people there and say, hey, I'm doubling your salary. Yeah, I don't. And leave. Yeah, but I think he wants Adam Baum, too, from Hot 93. And like a full camp capital. 15-year contract, whatever. Give him a Tom Landry contract. The point is, I'm in charge.

Not when I win it. No, no, I, that you asked me. Okay. What are you doing? My mom did not have to work anymore. I would rather hire everybody away. To put cat in, like, a homeless shelter. That would be my two goals.

See, the problem with the mom thing, and I know your mom, and from what you've told me about her, you would say, like, she would still work, right? It would be tough. You'd be like, oh, my mom. But she's never known, like, truly not having to. She's always been, you know, insmeat somewhat, so it'd be nice to see what would happen if she could try.

How early into the conversation would Chappie say, boy, wish this would have happened 20 years ago? Like he'd bitch about it Yeah, kind of Like, well, I'm already at the end Yeah I couldn't use this a long time ago I'm sure there would be

Would you buy him like new kettlebells For his roadside workout? I don't know What does the man need? All he wants to do is be on our show It's the only thing of value to him Would he still Yes

Take a McDonald's plastic cup Well, because he has a My dad is like pretty wealthy You know? He doesn't live like he could. So he would definitely still be trying to get one over on the man. 100%. From what I understand when he's on a road trip, he has like one of those cup carriers. He has a Taco Bell one, a McDonald's one, a Burger King one. So wherever he stops, he just walks

in like, oh yeah, I'm just refilling. There was a hundred percent of time where that was in play. Yes, because he was driving all across the country, driving, not flying. Because of cost? I guess. And don't forget. And you're not in control. Don't forget walking in the side door of a hotel to eat their continental breakfast. That's still happening. I asked them about that in the last couple months.

Dude. That's wild. What are they going to do? You ultimately have to ask yourself the question, what are they going to do? And I am like, get mad at me. And that's enough for me to not do it. But if that's not a thing for you, they're not calling the cops over a couple waffles and eggs. So that's why, when I was in Cleveland, I stay at the hotel right that overlooks the Cheesecake Factory parking lot where Baker Mayfield.

I had to explain to my wife why we have a Cheesecake Factory sign in here. She said, oh, did you get a new sponsor? Like she knows we've been getting some big sponsors on board. I was like, no, that's where Baker Mayfield got a blowjob in the parking lot. She's like, oh. You're telling me you didn't park the family rented minivan in the parking lot, not back, and ask her. And then I start telling her, look, when we went there, like, I stay there, I go, we interviewed people there, we did a thing. And she doesn't want to hear about it.

But when it's time for like, oh, Mary at work did this or that, like, I got to sit and listen to that. I'm telling a really interesting story about what we do. It has a beginning, a middle, and end, a lost jewel. wraps up, yeah. Lost jewel. And then lots of Jerry audio on today's show, too, if I'm looking at what we got, if you care. But first, what if we do a weekend check? And what if that has a sponsor, Jake?

And what if that sponsor is? I kind of wondered if you were going to hit audio, but you didn't. So I'll say Flooring, direct, DFW. flooring direct dfW they're here in dfdbue they sell flooring and they come directly to you how much more simple can we make it they uh you don't have to go to like a show room they have a show room because they are located in dfw but yeah they'll send someone out to your house with all the samples answer all your questions they have a back-to-school special right now uh only with flooring direct 36 months zero interest financing and no money down

No, I got a friend who recently had their floors done, and she said, yeah. She had to pay the movers to come in, and it was a big deal.

All right Weekend check time I can hop in We were off Friday I went Yeah four days It celebrated, I guess, celebrate my 40th birthday.

Oh, yeah, yeah, okay. With my, with 25 of my closest friends. My wife rented a house on the river. It's not a lake. It's a river. It's Colorado River. You said it was an incredible mansion. And we called different parts of it,

like this, like that. But it was. I mean, from the outside, it honestly looked like a lot of the places we do sit-ins. You wouldn't know from the outside. And then in the back, It's built on a two-story thing. They've got an infinity pool, and then down to the dock.

There were five or six different places to hang out, so it didn't feel like you were on top of each other. It was awesome. It was a great time. My wife, I don't know. I asked her on the way down there. I was like, are you starting to feel kind of silly about all this? Because she did, like, a lot.

She got me a cake, a birthday cake, a nod to one of our, fine sponsors. It's a Lucy cake. Lucy nicotine product that I favor.

So that was the cake. She knows you love a little Lucy. Yeah. She had like signs that you know, Lordy, Lordy, look who's 40. And another buddy of mine

was also turning was also turning, it was his birthday. I guess he was 39, like at the same time. So it was kind of weird. but dude it was just a bunch of people mostly with kids not having to deal with kids for two and a half days and it rocked it was a lot of fun there was a slide down uh like from the you know

the dock is two stories and there's a slide from the second story down but it doesn't go all the way down uh it launches you and it launches you straight so there's like five feet in between the slide in the water and dude it takes one look at that for tc to be like in the water he turns on the water spout that runs the hose or runs the hose to the slide over the slide and he just starts bang bang just time and time again and now he's going face first and he's flying out like superman and i'm dying laughing watching him and sororoy just go nuts on this slide like eight-year-olds it was so much fun stupid then you take a little break for He's like an eight-year-old when he gets anywhere.

The water, he's, he's a water, he's a man of the water. But he takes out his flying contraption. Oh, drones. Him and Breivig, my buddy Breivik is a drone guy. We had battling drones the whole weekend. No one respects my hatred for the zone. Dron, yeah.

Is that sword guy? What is drone guy? Yes. Yep. Can they overlap? I think that's a great observation. It feels more like, oh, I'm a cool, like legit, but no. it's the same kind of dork hobby and that's fine but it doesn't seem to occur to any of my

friends that when we're like hanging like yeah we get great photos and videos but we're like hanging out passing the j like oh laughing cool music and that it's just it's just floating 10 fucking feet away from us i'm like do we need that right now like is this you know if we were doing like a Bruckheimer type scene here. We're just hanging out, and I... I can't believe how far drones have come. They're flying over my house, making deliveries in my neighborhood. Because I think, like, 10 years ago, or however many years ago,

they just had the tiny ones. You can get them in the mall or something. Yeah. Well, I mean, 20 years ago, we were only using them to wipe out villages. I mean, that's where these things started. Oh, really? That's my point about, like, fireworks. Fireworks are now used as fun, but they're munitions, right?

Like, that's because we don't blow shit up anymore. Drones, the military or space creates, like, what we're going to use for killing stuff. And then we figure out how to use it commercially and for fun, I think. Drones were invented to kill people. See, I thought it was the other way around. You invent things for fun. And then the military is like, you know what? I bet we can kill someone with that fun thing.

Like, I just invented a little mini helicopter. This is fun to fly around. Look, it's a toy, and then, like, the person that invented it ends up feeling very guilty later when it is found out. Actually, you can use this to kill people without even getting near them, and then they feel regret. Also possible, I guess. Oppenheimer style. Is that how Oppenheimer was? I think.

All right. Yeah, I didn't see it. She made cups. I saw Barbie instead. Whatever happened with the drones over New York City? What did that end up being? Or New Jersey. Or New Jersey.

Nothing. It had to be something. Nothing to see here. She made cups. The wife made cups. I don't know if you can zoom in. That's got the... Like I was at Jake's birthday weekend.

Yeah, that one says like vintage 85 and it's got a photo of me, my hockey gear, stars gear. She found like a ton of photos while she was doing this. See, here's the problem. A ton of them. Your 40th is before hers. I know. And it was brought up. Like, I was like, you feel like you can.

kind of did a lot. The bars are a little too high here. And she's like, yeah, you know, well, I mean, the bar said high. I'm like, whoa, what? You did this for you. Right. I did quite enjoy it, but I don't know that I needed the cups. People like the cups.

Speaking of hockey, like I said, she found a bunch of old photos. Put the Cowboys Flyers one up there. I'm going to prove something to you guys. You get on to me because I'm like in love with the Philadelphia sports scene. I've been a Flyers and Eagles guy my whole life Maybe we don't have the picture But anyways It's just a photo

She found a photo of me in all Cowboys gear Philadelphia Flyers hat Nine years old I was already a fan of a Legion of Boom Michael Rimburg John Leclair Eric Lindross I've been here

You guys are acting like this is new Okay, I'm a Stars fan Are you? Huge Since when? since the day I was born And the last image I want to show you guys Is a story my buddy was telling me

So He's my age And his dad passed unexpectedly In the last year Condolences It was tough And my buddy His truck is in the shop right now

He's needed some major repairs It's going to take him a few weeks And he needed a vehicle well his mom was like well your dad's truck is here you still have it so he's driving his dad's truck now his dad I knew him as a sweet man I'm sure he was always conservative but like a lot of our dads over the last 10 years he's turned things up a little bit or a lot of bit and so my buddy is now in a position where for the last few weeks and for the next couple weeks

and he drives a lot for his sales job. He has to drive around his dad's truck with this on the tailgate. Uh, very, very large, enact term limits now, vote no to all incumbents. Not bumper stickers, like tailgate magnets. And I think my buddy probably is a little bit right-leaning, but he's not like a political guy. But that might be a good message. But is it something that if you put it on your truck, does that help move the needle at all or move it towards your goal? I don't know if it does, but he said that people, you know, we're in Texas.

He said that people are the opposite of the Tesla effect, like speeding up to him, giving him the thumbs up and like saluting him. Saluting. And like, hell yeah. And he's like, ah, yeah, I guess, kind of. Why, this picture screams Cleburne. And what is the term limits We're up I think this is probably

Because the big man We don't want term limits on that I feel like these are These are probably old And I don't know the guy's politics As he got later in life But he probably doesn't want term limits for Trump But it's just very aggressive

It feels like a bet payoff I mean Alex over here Trying to wrap his car for free But Yeah Like my buddy said that he's It's every time he drives the car Like, he's at a stopline, he's on the freeway.

Like, people are shouting him out. My Bieber one was a fantastic payoff. Now, there's no audio component. Yeah. Yeah, but that was an awesome punishment. And then the other thing, it was actually the same friend. He was down in Round Rock on Friday for something else. And so if you guys recall, I had a pickup to make.

because listener Grant, who works for Lamb Weston, Yeah, I thought about this all weekend. A French fry company had reached out to me, and he was like, hey, I'm in Austin. If you need some fries for your weekend, check out this website and pick some out. Is this Grant who invited us to his wedding? The Austin Dummy Grant?

I think so. Okay. So he said, yeah, check out this website. And I did, lambwestin.com. You're not going to believe what Lamb Weston is doing. with fries these days so many options this is not a spot he was like hey meet me on the way down here turns out the route we were taking we weren't on 35 at all we were back road the entire way and i'm like hey i can't meet you he said do you have anybody coming through this way

said actually i have a buddy in round rock he said i'll meet him there so i texted my guy and i said hey i know you're in round rock i need you to meet my guy at this place at this time i got something that I need you to pick up for me. Felt like it would have been too complicated to explain that it was fries. So I didn't. And him and his wife picked up like six paper bags for me. And Grant was like, yeah, I got to make a drop in St. Marcus after this and took off. Did you think it was drugs?

He did. Okay. Him and his wife drove the rest of the way. Now the wife is all like kind of up his ass. Yes. And she has like a real job. She has a real, real job where that's not cool. Drive the speed limit.

And then they got there, and he's like, what the fuck? And I'm like, you know how ladies are, but... I'm like, yeah, dude. We needed fries for the barbecue, so I had you pick up seven two-pound bags of french fries. And I'll be damned if those things weren't getting munched on the entire time. Of course. Just keep them in the air fryer all, a whole weekend. Dump queso on them, whatever you want.

It's a great fry weekend. I suppose that's it. I spent my business Wednesday yesterday, renting a car and taking my son to the doctor. I don't get to do the son to the doctor bit a lot. So you know you're doing that on a business day. Have I ever taken my daughters to the doctor? Wow.

Did they make them cough? No. I think the dentist maybe once. I've done dentist four or five times, but... Could I name my kid's doctor? Absolutely not. With our schedule, it really doesn't happen. But my wife also was stay-at-home wife.

Yeah. And it's just... Like they should be. hell yeah she was very trad was she no she the only the only traditional thing she did was stay at home and everything oh hey what about uh why are we hiring the uh the clean lady that's why uh anyway shout out to fry shout out to the lucy cake and my wife and the philadelphia flyers it's a great time shout out to comedian mechanical let's just give them a quick plug because you know I told you last week, when Clayton walked in here this morning, he's like, sick.

I go, what? And he was pointing at my thermostat. That community mechanical installed the new thermostat. Looks nice. It does look nice. You can't hack it. No? Well, probably you can.

And, yeah, so I can control it remotely and everything. So that's one of the little things they do, along with, like, preventative maintenance, which is little. although they can discover something that might like kill you I had carbon monoxide I think pouring into my attic and they're like hey I think this is not the way it's supposed to be could have sued you for that yeah they're HVAC company and they are awesome yes preventative maintenance the key if you get a new system you'll get a sit-in you'll get to hang out

and just experience the joy that Alec Fedro is experiencing today hit them up at community dfw.com we've had uh you Tons of tons of listeners including all pro Brandon Aubrey who was hooked up

by community community VFW.com 46966777290 They'll take care of you Still no song yet Or I don't know

I don't think 46966677290 HVAC on the go There you go Oh That was good Jake Good So we were off

Last Friday The Cowboys Played the Falcons And so I was tied up at the stadium and I had messed up my first game because I didn't give myself enough time to eat before the game. And in the Cowboys press box, that's a big no-no because they go all out. So I corrected my mistake, got there early, got to witness the carving station.

Oh, yeah. First hand. Oh, yeah. What does that mean? Prime rib. There's prime rib, and you just walk up and they'll just cut you some meat right in front of you. The Cowboys are known as for hospitality for media. Oh, really?

Yeah, there's some bad ones, like redskins are terrible. The Bengals I've heard are really bad. The stars, you would get an ice cream bar. Yeah, that's cool. But the Cowboys do actually, and like if you cover Thanksgiving, you're getting like a full Thanksgiving spread. Damn. I'm excited.

No, I, in a weird way, I always looked forward to, oh, we're going to OU, oh, I know they're going to have Chick-fil-A. Or we're going to Middle Tennessee State. Like, if we play at 11, they're going to have biscuits and gravy. I look forward to, like, the press box food. And so... Got establish the run. Sure.

So, yeah, getting to enjoy the cowboy spread was awesome. They just so many different options. You got your carving station over here. You have your dessert bar over here where you've got any cookie you could think of. You've got little canolies, banana pudding shooters, little raspberry tarts. Over there is the candy station where they've got all sorts of candy. Fountain drinks, a fridge full of ice cream. It was immaculate.

And I was so happy. I was going to ask you, do they pull my credential if they catch me with a Tupperware? Okay. I think if it's an actual Tupperware, it's probably not going to look good. But I feel like you could get like another type of bag. Like a Chick-fil-A sandwich bag or something. You were certainly pockoning a couple candy buyers or something. The little thing.

You know, I didn't go too hard this time on my. My first go run. Yeah, you just feel it out. Yeah, you got to. And I forgot to mention. Look for the cameras and the press box. Sure. So before the game is, you know, the grilled chicken and the brooklini and all that other kind of stuff.

At halftime is when they put out the pizzas, the wings, and the nachos. And then after the game, they install the taps where, after a post, you know, during the post game, you want a beer, have at it. Yeah. It's wonderful. But I was thinking, if I just can't. carried my plate of food and put the other plate on top and just pretending like I was walking to my radio booth and then dump it in the Tupperware, I bet I could get away with that. That's the move. And a couple rubber bands can help you as well. I don't know how far that walk

is, but you crossways the rubber bands over the two plates and now you've got a little ready-made Tupperware. I might call Chappie, see what he thinks. He'd be in. He might have some advice. Hog heaven. So you're the producer for the national radio broadcast. Did you have have to pick up Steve Berline on the way to the game? No, Steve's not doing preseason. Okay. So it was Ted and Jesse Hawley again.

That's like the most important game for so many people at the very end of the roster. In fact, Steve Berline is not doing week one either. Oh. Doing color is Brian Baldinger. Wow, you're going to get to break it down with Baldi? I get to see the fingers. You see his fingers, Dan? Yeah, they're all mangled, right?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, and so I got to. And he's... How do you think that works, by the way? If you have mangled finger? And you are involved in love. It might really help. Well, that's what I'm saying.

You have a ready-made French tickler there. There are certain angles that she's wanting that I just can't do this. Now I'm imagine Brian Ball. That reminds, this is your co-worker. Yeah. Hold it there. Hold it there. You see this?

Pop. So the company is trying to... This one's for the pink. save money and a part of that is not flying ted to all the games instead they hire a local guy who's driving in from new york and so they sent it they sent all of us uh who needs a hotel room and so the new york guy doesn't he's going to drive in and out i'm not sure where i think baldinger lives in new jersey um but when asked if he needed a hotel room he said no i'm going to drive over to nfl films and cut uh highlight or cut highlights and watch film all night

until the sun comes up. And so his personality it is what you see. Right. Like he's just so infatuated with football that he's going to go watch Eagles Cowboys for another six hours until the sun comes up until his flight or something.

But excited to see him and work with him and I'll try to book him for the show. No group. Okay, so have you met Steve Berline yet? No. Okay. Okay. Did you deliver...

Is Berline the one who is losing the room? Yes. Comedy? So UberLine takes off week two. Did you deliver our product to the special teamers? Not yet. Okay. Because I think I need to save that for the team playing.

There you go. Because I did see Bangor before the game, but he's, I don't know. What's our product? We're on the field. Lucy. I just, we have quite a bit of it to give to them. They're into it? Yeah.

They're very into it. Give them the promo. What's the promo code? Let's plug it right now. On the screen, lucy.com slash dumbzone. 20% off your first order. For 20% off? Yeah, so the special teamers loved, like, not Brandon.

Scouting department. Brandon is our. Our straight-in. He's so griffy. Yeah. He's the griffiest of griffy lists. By the way, he tells me, uh, next week's going to be tough.

Thursday, he might be able to do game day. Oh, wow. Because it's night, but he said tomorrow and Thursday he has open. if we wanted to book him for one of those days. And I said I'd talk to you about that off the air, but here we are. Whatever. Bring him in the fold. But you're saying lucy.com slash dumb zone.

Slash dumb zone. It's 20% off your first hour. It's like got the breakers, the flavor things, all that kind of stuff. I go with the breakers. They also have gum. Clayton was checking out the gum. It's 100% pure nicotine. I love it.

It just feels clean. I have, to me. I swear to you. And you guys have seen this. I'm not making this up. Compared to, like, I have given, every single person I've given one of these two is immediately does like the infomercial, wow, like sparkle.

They are better. They just are better. And here comes fine print. Lucy products are only for adults of legal age. And every order is age verified, warning this product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. Go get you some. Be like the special teamers.

The operators. I still want them to take that name. I am interested to see how it spreads. Like is Dack and doing Lucy by the end of the season? If this, I'm telling you any, because quarterbacks are smashing those nicotine pouches. That is a, we found out, we heard Baker was playing with like 50 MGs at a time in. Damn. Boy, he's my leader.

I know. Yeah. And then Saturday I had to do some recording for commercials and such and didn't, but I was excited to take Brooks to the mean green kickoff event. I had to get some Argyll commercials recorded and people. announcements, and no, I didn't ask either of you. And I never have, and probably never will. Wait, for your, the ads they sell on Argyle High School Radio? Correct.

You have other people record them. Yeah, Dave Barnett, Robert Coffey. You met him at the Station 222. You go to them and they record it. They're all didn't, guys, yeah. And every day you're with us, and we have headsets on, and we have great recording equipment. We're busy. And we have willingness.

We're like, I would love to be on. Should we tell them about the time That we were like Really trying to figure out an avenue Where we would buy spots on it But it goes through me I know We were like talking to the people at the school

I was like all right How do I figure this out? So Jubb set us up with the guy who sells ads Did they ever tell you? I forgot about this Oh I didn't end up telling you? We've done this on the show Okay

Yeah yeah we were trying hard Well we do have a radio audience Or an audience So keep going Yeah so yeah we actually tried to pay, we were going to buy ads, record, voice them ourselves. And yes, now that you tell me this, I do now remember telling you

because the whole holdup was the guy that sold ads is like, there's no way I can keep this from Blake before it gets on the air. Like, we wanted you to just hit a button to play the spots and then here's Jake talking about orthopedic associates or something. No, it's, no, I'm the studio. I've got all the commercials, all, everything. have to go through me.

So you drive to them. What's wrong with this? What's wrong with this? What's wrong with this? It's provided all-inclusive orthopedic services and expertise to Flower Mountain Louisville. With eight board certified physicians in orthopedic specialties, orthopedic associates offers a full spectrum of musculoskeletal care, going with in-house physical therapy.

That is 2014 Blake. Dang. He was 12 years old. So rather than me do all that, I drive to people with good voices, and I get them to record it. But you know about the internet. You've heard it. But I don't want to AI this.

No, no, no. Just have them recorded and email you the file. No, because they're going to do it on their phone. I'm legit hurt. Yeah. Because I think it would be cool if people would tell me, hey, I heard you on a spot for Argyle football. It's just, it's the same as don't, he doesn't want you at his house.

Like, I would pay him to, we said we were going to pay Argyle football to do it. And he still won't do it. Anyway. I was excited to take Brooks up there because now that Brooks is of an age, he's very observant. He sees me playing NCAA. He knows who the green peacocks are,

a.k.a. the North Texas mean green. Because he sees the logo and he just, oh, they must be the peacocks. Look at the feathers and the bird. Yeah. I was watching Iowa State. You tell him how stupid he is? No. I was watching Iowa State, Kansas State.

It's the red tornadoes versus the purple lions. So when we walk up there and he sees... What a game, by the way. Yeah. When he sees the logo, he's just ecstatic. Like, he recognizes the stadium from the game. He remembers the logo. He knows the mascot.

And so it was a huge deal for him to be around the mean, green football team. And so that was pretty funny. I actually think that is cool. I mean, your kid is growing up in a very unique situation, getting to spend every weekend with you. He's the Brian Schottenheimer of mean, green football. And just... He's just around it.

He's... You'll hear later, Jerry, talking about the osmosis, that he's just learning radio from you. He'll be around Argyle football. Yeah. Yeah. I wonder if he's learning how to mash. Is he good athlete? He can hit the piss out of a wiffle ball.

Yeah. I've seen it. Really? Yeah. It's scary. Blake sent me one the other day where he, like, waited on a pitch. Oh, yeah. Because that's a problem.

His kids are, like, they just... The ball doesn't the other fucking cut. It was like hanging up. He kind of waited on it. And I was like, Jesus. Pulled the trigger. Nice. And then went to, I told you, I put out this invite.

I will come to your kid's birthday party. We went to one on Saturday. Shout out to Lee. Invited me. Had a wonderful array of snacks for me and Brooks. And then I took two pizzas home. So all in all, a great afternoon. Did people, like, ask, who are you?

How do you know the family? When his wife opened the door and said, She didn't recognize me. I said, is Lee here? She said, yeah. I said, I'm Blake. Oh, you're Blake. Like, he had to do some explaining of why this guy.

Yeah, of course. Go to a stranger to a child's birthday party. It's not like you're going to a listener's party, right? Like, that's something to be like, hey, it'd be funny, invite Jake over, you'll get hammered. That's, like, somewhat normal. Like, you're going to a child's, you're going to be in photos. Like in the background. We were, yeah, front of line for the happy birthday.

It's so weird. His son knew, obviously, all the kids were good with his school and whatever. And then there's Brooks, just a random kid playing with all of them. He just jumped right in. Yeah, he loves it. All-time quarterback. Yeah. It's just great.

Oh. You want to go, Clayton? Or me? I'll go. I did a little recon for us this weekend. checked out the Waterburger and Grand Prairie. Thumb up?

Big thumb up, boys. You got a lot of space. Got a lot of room for activities at this Waterburger. Was what a man there? Water guy. Water guy. Get it right. Some respect on his name, Blake.

What a man. The only thing that the manager was worried about, and this is right up Blake's alley. We got a little breakfast bunch that likes to meet up at the Waterburger early Friday morning. Oh, damn. Their asses are going to have to move. We did not account for that. Every Waterburger.

I know exactly what they look like and I know what they're about. Has that going. Hell yeah. I think my grandpa used to do what was a part of a Waterburger group. They'll be there for two hours. 20 years ago, they were smoking cigarettes. Yep. They don't let a smoke here.

I remember when you're smoking here. The manager will be happy then because they want people to rotate in and out of those seats. Yeah. Now, this crew, we may run into a little bit of a beef, but maybe we welcome them on the show. Are they old? They're guaranteed. Is that dumb? No, it's 25-year-olds just popping up at Waterberger. No. In the morning, you're going to get, like, you know, the older crowd, and then late at night, it's popping for the young crowd, I think. Waterberg are very popular for the kids, we've heard.

Yeah, so did a little recon, tried out some of the new items at Waterburger. while I was there. Did he give you a little grotties? No. Oh. I take care of myself. All right. On those recon trips.

And then to tease ahead, we got another spot coming up and I had to do a little recon there, too. They're in grapevine. A little Zavala's barbecue down the street. Oh, yeah. Swung by, got some, their version of a sloppy Joe. It's called a sloppy wand. Grand Prairie. Yeah, Grand Prairie.

Grand Prairie. We got a remote there coming up soon, too. But it's my favorite barbecue place in Texas. So it's like, we get booked at these places that serve like burgers and shakes and barbecue and Clayton's like, I'll go, I'll go do the site check. Somebody, I guess I'll go out there. I'll take the hit. To this place that just like has a five-star rating in Texas Monthly for barbecue. It's like, I'll do it.

Oh, you know, twist my arm. But no, yeah, I think we, I think we. We've got a good couple of weeks of remotes for the people, so. Yeah, that's right. We got you checking Waterburger and Barbecue. Glenn Beck had you site checking coin shows and whatever else. Rallies. Rallied in the museum spots that he once set up.

Life is good, brother. Yeah. God, I love barbecue. And Dan? Well, let me ask you. sponsor my weekend check qualis roofing they put the roof here on the dragon den of inequality they put the roof on my whole house as a matter of fact um they are one of our early early sponsors and they are the first ones that ever adopted the uh we'll give you a sit-in if you buy a roof um which is weird

for other sponsors to not give us a sit-in when we buy a roof but uh you know it's it's their bit um But when we got the new roof, we got a roofing, the inspection. Hadn't had an inspected for years. They're like, oh, yeah, you're supposed to get inspected twice a year. Really? Never heard of that. But they're like, yeah, you got a lot of hail damage up here, man. I think you can get a new roof.

They dealt with the insurance company. They did all the calls, all the back and forth. I never did anything but pay the deductible, and we have a brand new roof. so just give Qualis a try just have them out for an inspection if you do have them out they give you a dumb zone t-shirt are we still doing that bit

indeed that hasn't been removed from the copy Dan okay I'm not looking at it I'm just going off the dome this is all like free-flowing baby this is what you dream about this is what I do yeah no Qualis is great

and they've hooked us up with a lot of sit-ins have stopped in because of Qualis, so they've helped out a ton of people. Don't they do carports and things like that? They've given you a roof. Yes. Anyway, they've done it. How do you get in touch with Qualis there, Jake?

817-5009008 or QualisGC.com. These are super good people. You can tell. Like, you just talk to the people of Qualis. You're like, oh, God, I get it. These are good people. Tell them Clayton sent you. Absolutely.

Yeah. CallsGC.com. All right, so a quick weekend check for me, and then I want to get to Jerry, did a lot of Jerry listening. Yeah, he had a big weekend. Audio cutting. He was on two hour-long podcasts. Also, I watched episode one of the Jerry documentary, and I have plenty of thoughts on that, which that's a tease. but I will just say

I think it's kind of been undersold because I after watching episode one I'm ready to run through a wall punch whatever like when Troy Aikman pops up and that's the T's for episode two I think

most of the media who has come out and I'm going to include you Machota I know you a lot of people just binge it right away and then they got to report on the whole thing

I think you've got to take these in a little slower at least I'll be able to tell you after I watch two and three and four and we'll see but it just feels like

everybody rushing to watch eight hours and then giving their opinion on the whole thing has undersold it in my opinion at least after episode one it's fantastic

yeah maybe that's true I mean, I've heard some, like, cowboy fans of roughly my age, and they're like, how are you not so fired up by this? And it's like, I mean, you can ask TC, I've got the 93 America's team NFL network that's just about that season. It's 10 times better if telling the story of that game. I got it on Dropbox. I watch it three times a fucking year. Oh, really? And when Irvin tells the story about getting the second touchdown, and he seals the Buffalo defender with his leg, and he goes, and then I threw my leg up to a shot.

shield him from the they didn't even include that the point is there's a million versions of all these stories everywhere yeah i don't understand why it's it's just jerry pushing all that back up to the front because they thought they were going to win a super bowl that said it's impossible for me not to watch any episode and not be like god that was so great yeah um i didn't win powerball last night as i told you this is on my uh weekend notes um also Also, I watched a documentary, which is a three-parter. It's about what I call The Monkey Lady. Have you heard of Chimp Crazy?

Yeah. This is on HBO. I did the first couple episodes. Okay, well, there's only three. Yeah, maybe, I think I did this. It's by the guy. Tonka? Yeah.

It's by the guy that did Tiger King, but he, they wouldn't talk to him because they knew how Tiger King ended up looking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they had to hire like a beard, right? They hired like a proxy director, a fake director who came in, infiltrated Monkey Ladies' inner circle, ended up turning her in because she had kidnapped Tonka and then told them all about it on film. Like, yeah, like she lied in court, she cried in court to say how Tonka was that.

It's a great, great documentary. All right, so I have my notes here. Tanya Haddicks. I remember there being a scene where there was a chimp watching Planet of the Apes and getting really pumped. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There apparently are no animal laws in Missouri. Was the Planet of the Apes or 2001 of Space Odyssey? The beginning where they're hitting the...

So I think it was her, but I can't recall. But the story was that there was basically one lady who had bred... like three quarters of all of the chimps in America. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kind of like the Seaworld Tillicum thing, where there was one whale. Like, they were all coming from one place. It's, I remember that it... Because laws were enacted to stop the importation.

There you go. So, yeah. It's kind of like the lion or the tiger thing. Maybe a bunch of animals. Nobody wants them when they're not babies. So they buy them as babies, and then there's just, like, all these teenage chimps that have nowhere to go. And so this lady was, in her mind, doing a good thing

by giving them a home and a sanctuary, but it was a mess. But it was a mess. They would jump from her story to, hey, there's this story that happened in Colorado a few years ago where some lady got her face ripped off. Yeah, yeah. And then they would go back to her. And then they'd jump to another story about a trainer who did it.

And then it kind of all tied in everything together at the end. It was really great. Yeah, now that you say it, I enjoyed this. And I remember one of the big issues, Blake, was they would take Tonka to birthday parties. Like, you could just have a chimp come out. As you might expect, he had, like, an incident. Yeah, almost like dislocated someone's leg or something. And, like, the dad of the kid is trying to rip this chimp off, but it's a chimp.

Yeah, that was a crazy story. But I do remember thinking there was a small part of me that was like, I'm never going to know the love of owning a chimp it seems so much better than a baby or a person like it just has like a little because it kind of stays baby like and it it needs you and they're fun but they're not as big of a like pain in the ass they can take care of themselves a little bit diaper changing would get to you yeah they show them always wearing diapers they don't show you changing that's a good point lot going on out there there's so much going on but Really, though, I imagine if you're a documentary filmmaker and you're like,

I wonder what that sword guy is like. You're going to find there's going to be an interesting thing behind sword guy. And if somebody owns a chimp, let alone a hundred of them. Yeah. You know, same thing. So it's great. As you know, I think I told you this this year. It's really inconsequential in the greater picture of life.

but I have been on an effort to actually save today's birthdays and today in history all year long. I've never done this. So like if today's today in history, I'll go into my files and be like, oh, wow, we missed last year. This must have been a weekend day. Oh, the year before. So I got to go to 2022 or whatever and copy, paste, change everything, and then look for new stuff to add. Whatever. But I just wanted to bring this up over the weekend.

because it was kind of like a Today in Dumb Zone history remembrance that Blake's been doing. I saw it was like Kelsey Plum's birthday, and my note next to her. Do you remember my note? What's our Kelsey Plum note? So we have the one from the All-Star Game. And what was that? She was anti-Katelyn Clark. Previous All-Star Game.

Oh, previous All-Star Game. Apparently, she won All-Star Game MVP, and it was a tiny trophy. Oh, that's right. It was like this big. Yeah, yeah, and all the girls were making fun of it on social media. Yeah, that's right. I forgot about that. So I just thought that's a great memory of when we first learned about the tiny trophy, almost like the tiny.

Oh, man. Yeah, this is great. Are you looking at it? Yeah, that was a funny moment. Like a teacup. Yeah, all of her teammates were, like, were posting it on social media and laughing about it. That's a good note. Thanks, bro.

And then one more thing. Does anyone else have this problem? So I had to buy forks on Amazon. Like a set of a dozen forks, because we're down to one. Like you're nodding. In your kitchen? Yeah, yeah, everybody's... I got 20 spoons.

I got 20 knives. Like, we have multiple of everything. This is good news for me because my wife thinks all of our forks are here. Every fucking day She's like Literally one I'm like How do we get down to one

We had three last week And we now have one So I just bought new forks Which is dicey Because I love my old forks But now Damn yeah Forks is like

You want a test drive I think they're throwing them away I've caught my wife Throwing forks away Just actually obviously I think partially accidentally And the paper plate or something Yeah but I think part of it's like

I want new forks We don't want to I think it's a level of laziness Like we don't want to clean a fork so we'll just throw it away like a like alan iverson and his clothes on the road my kid does that so i'm kind of wondering if your forks are disappearing whenever you're you're the the the daughters are around yeah all right well somehow over the years they've just dwindled dwindled dwindled and i finally had to buy it and i'm like why forks is this unique to me but you're saying no no

and uh i'm sure this is uh something that like people that were actually involved in international commerce and stuff like i think kevin uh the guy who gets the guy from shark tank is pissed about this mr wonderful but uh like i bet you just bought forks that are just amazon forks right now anything you bought just uh any basic it's just amazon if you wanted to buy forks right now i mean i i try scrolling past the top sponsored one yeah but usually the one of like the highest rating and the cheapest one is just like here's a fork by amazon I don't know why, but I don't like it I want to shop at my mom and pop fork shop

Dude, it is so funny to me like I'll actually do that Like don't order that from Amazon I don't want to support, I don't go to Walgreens Yeah, let me get up to the local Right, the local The little guy, the little guy Yeah, that's like you're really supporting

Was hilarious It's Ben Danucci time And Ted said that on the broadcast It's Ben Danucci time And then like immediately From the angle We were right behind the play it was never there.

The safety was there the entire time. He just yoloed it straight to him. It was amazing. He hasn't changed. So what are we doing in the NFL? They signed him last week. I know. Just to play in this game.

And then they cut him yesterday. So why do we even have this game? I thought it's supposed to be to kind of get you some reps, get you ready for the season. But they don't even want to play their emergency third quarterbacks. Yeah, it's definitely busted. Like, what are we doing? But I think part of it is they want to be able to get reps for other guys,

so they need to have a quarterback. But they don't want to play anybody they actually care about. Right. And I think what that ends up getting you is bad looks for guys. That, yes, walking around the sideline, I did hear that they, the only reason Will Greer played is so they could see some of their receivers in good action because Milton is not on time, not in routine, not accurate.

And so, yeah, to get holding a good look, they had to put Will Greer in. Had a couple bingoes from Shottie after the game? I think it's going to be tough. I really do. I think it's going to be tough why because I think we're a quick one. I really do. I think it's going to be tough why because I think we're a talented roster and we've got some. So you know what he's saying there's.

Boy, I think this is really unique to like Jimmy. because I don't even know if I heard other hard asses say this but I heard that shoddy quote and again fresh on my mind I don't remember what episode it is in the gambler but Jimmy's like a lot of people in the coaching world

talk about how cutting players is the hardest thing to do I don't find it hard at all he's like if you're not giving me what I need and want like I'm happy to cut you and my dad used to talk like that too and it would drive me crazy but my dad was like I don't have any problem firing people, because if I'm firing people, you deserve it.

And he's like, and I love it because I'm getting better by firing you. We should hire him. It's crazy, but Shottie's like, oh, it is for Shottie, I think it probably is really hard. Because he's like, damn, I went to dinner with this guy. Yeah. Shot free throws. Let's see. Oh, another bingo.

Two bingoes. But look, I'm all about family, no. And I think, you know, my family is everything to me. I've talked to you guys about it before. to me it's three things my faith my family and football I'm trying so hard to get into this but Chip and Jojo are coaching

my football team I think as soon as you walk in the bathroom you just have that above the door gives it a nice accent to the lake house there are three types of people there's a type of people who would never even think like to say faith family football there's a type of people maybe like George's wife

who would hang a sign that says that you're like okay whatever and then there's like the ultimate, which is someone who would say it out loud and tattoo it on their body. And that's him. Yeah. No one says it out loud. It's a t-shirt. So I'm going in reverse order here a little bit because earlier in the day, if I'm not mistaken,

was that when the Jerry Michael Irvin, Jerry Stephen A. Smith, was that Thursday or during the day Friday? It wasn't Thursday. Okay. But it was before the game. Yeah. So Micah was well aware that Jerry had taken the, you know, Micah, okay, so the whole contract negotiation was escalated a bit by Jerry in the Welcome to Oxnard Press Conference. Micah took it up a couple levels.

Like, oh, you think you're going to negotiate in the press. I'm Micah Parsons. I know new media. I'm going to, so now Micah takes it up and takes some teammates in with them. And Jerry decided, you know what? I just watched this documentary where I was being interviewed before a Super Bowl, ripping my coach. You think you can play a media game? Okay, let's go.

We're going to get to that in just a few minutes. But during the game, Micah is clearly affected by this because all the players on the sideline were wearing. the cowboy jersey, even, you know, not active DAC, all the, you know, every player was, except Micah. Shadi has gone to great lengths to talk about this in the past about how he wants, that's part of the team unity and blah, blah, blah, yeah, we're going to all be wearing, okay, but not Micah. This is why this first year head coach being tossed into this mess as well. I've said it multiple times. He has no idea how to deal with regular stuff, let alone this. If they were going to do this, go with the coach with this level of inexperience.

Throwing this Micah thing in his lap is malpractice. So now, and then obviously there was pictures taken of him. And I hear it was only for like seven or eight minutes, but he like was just kind of lying on the trainer's table. Not a trainer's table, though, just kind of like a table. It wasn't like he was getting worked on or he was just lying there with a disinterested, you know, at the very right least body language.

He was acting like a petulant little child is what I think. It was a bad move. I think he looked ridiculous and I think it's embarrassing for what Micah Parsons, like if I'm Jerry Jones now, I'm pissed. If I'm shoddy, I'm pissed. And the thing is, and if I'm teammates, I'm pissed, too. If I'm Dak, I'm pissed.

Because Dak's been through this. You got to be a man and play, you know, whatever. But Micah is surrounded by people that are telling him, you're right, everything you're doing is right. This is my opinion now. But I think it was a horrible, horrible thing for this guy to do, especially when you're coming into camp and you're trying to sell yourself as

I'm matured and I'm a team leader and this is why I'm at camp and it's important for me because I went back last night and listened to again the Micah slash Trayvon Diggs impromptu press conference on the field

that happened after the opening day press conference or opening camp press conference so that's some of the stuff he was saying it's really important for me to be here as a leader and I'm leading these guys and blah blah blah So as a leader, and I'm leading all these young guys, this is what you're doing for the third preseason game

to show how upset I am, that this year I'm only going to make $20 million or whatever his paycheck is? Like, he's still making an S-load, and he's still pretty much been paid already enough that you are set for life. Now, is he set for 20 lifetimes? Maybe not. Is he making what the guy across the street is? No, not yet.

But keep working, keep playing, and you see, anyway, you're here some of that. But here, here's Shottie after the game on Micah. Brian Todd, Arthur, with ESPN. Micah today wasn't wearing his jersey, everybody else was, was laying on the table in the middle of the game. Have you had a discussion with him at all of any of that stuff? Does that stuff matter to you? Yeah, answer the question, no, I was calling the game, so I don't know any of that stuff.

But number one Hors shit We know that Okay I think it's horseshit But they all do that But if that was true If I'm calling the game I don't know what's going on

On the sideline Then you shouldn't be calling the game You're the head coach You should be knowing What's going on on the sideline If things are happening I think Yeah yeah

Well possibly I don't know He's probably just lying though But also If he didn't know During the game Like we've seen How the Tad is really good at his job

The Cowboys PR is really good at their job. How many times have you seen, like, the ticket will say, Hey, Shottie, I know you've been coaching you just sat down. Ozzy Osbourne just died. And he's like, I know that. Because the second something happens, Tad tells him. Eddie Van Halen, that the Cowboys were going to, the ticket was going to ask. Well, here's what might be coming up.

It'll be like, here's who got traded. Here's what they're talking about. So they probably told him about Micah, and he said, you know what I'll say? Is I was calling the game. Any of that stuff? Does that stuff matter to you? Yeah, answer the question, no, I was calling the game, so I don't know any of that stuff, but again, at the end of the day, you know, we'll look at the film and we'll talk to everybody involved, and we'll have a great assessment of how we did both on and off the field. That he will be on the field of week one against season.

That's going to be weird. It's going to be extremely weird. Because he haven't really practiced either. No, I don't. How effective... I don't worry about him physically, like I do Trayvon. I think Mike is a dog, and I know he's in shape. But I also know you need to get live reps, especially against the run game, which is already a problem.

I don't know where you fall. They all do this, but he's... His Twitter profile says Penn State and then TBD. So he... And he's taking his photo of him in a camera. Cowboys jersey off there. He scrubbed his social media of Cowboys. The same thing CD did last year.

And Janus every time he's coming up. But this one feels, you know, and now there's this other element to this. I don't know if it's going to turn into anything, but it's not going to turn anything because the NFLPA is a joke. But, like, Dorel Revis is out here correctly pointing out, Jerry is not supposed to be just flagrantly saying, I only negotiate with the player, not that. the agent. Like that, that's in the CBA, a no-no. Now, it's going to happen, but just to flagrantly say it, he's giving as big of a fuck you to Micah as he can. Now, to your point, sometimes you don't

bite the hand of feeds, and if you do, you find out what happens. But he's trying to punish Micah now. Like all this public, I don't even know the agent's name. I'll talk to him when he wants to call me. That's so shitty. Like a boss should not be doing that to you. But, But he's doing it because he's like, you tried to test me. Yeah, you publicly challenged Jerry. And now we're going to see what happens. And so it is a very, it's a bad spot. I don't think this is a normal, well, it'll just go away.

I don't think he's going to finish his career. I don't think he'll be here for his full prime anymore. I think he'll franchise him and then he'll be gone eventually. I want to play all this audio. We'll play it right after the break. No, but what, I just feel like Micah, now it's hard to say this, because the Cowboys also caused a lot of problems from themselves. But it feels like Micah caused this.

He's publicly saying, I will play here for less. I want good players surrounding me. I will take less than the going rate. I wish he hadn't said that. He said that last year, and you said that at that time. Yeah. Because you knew that was possible problems were ahead if you say that. Then he does meet with Jerry.

Now, Jerry says they were negotiating a deal. Micah says I just wanted to talk to him about the color of the whatever, the paint. We're going to talk about leadership. I think my deal is going to come up. Right. And I think that's the reason you want to talk to the boss about leadership is like I am worth this massive amount of money, this quarter billion dollars or whatever, possibly. Yeah, and then, you know, Micah then realizes, like, after he has this talk, probably did agree with Jerry. You know what?

Yeah, $35 million. And what's going to be guaranteed more than anybody else? Okay, cool. I'll bet you they kind of walked out, handshake, and like, yeah, this is kind of a good deal. Talk to my agent. His agent talked to him then and told him, what are you doing? You can't do that. Look, Jerry can't negotiate, but don't worry, we'll take care of this.

And then, you know, Micah now finds himself in this mess. Now, the agent is taking over for Micah. It should have started with the agent. One thing about Dak is from the get-go. People asked him, like, about his contract. And he said to the media, you know what? My agent's handling all of that stuff? I'm just here to play football.

He never sat down with Jerry. He never said, he also never was going on interviews saying, boy, it's really just about me taking less to, you know, Jack may have thought that stuff. Like, hey, maybe I'll take a little, he didn't, but he didn't say it because that sets a precedent. I feel bad for Micah, because I feel like he was trying to, hey, I just want to help. Right. I like having fun and talking. But then his agent's like, hey, look, you didn't do this right.

We're going to do it right. We're going to get you the money that you deserve. and you know they've they've got their thing to do as well because they got other clients out there potential clients even and they like to say we've gotten you know every time we get a deal it's the highest deal and sets the market so if they were to go below market right now because mika said so six months ago or four months ago or however long that would look bad on them in that case as well anyway it's a big mess it is a big mess and um the audio is explosive.

That's very important. It is very important. The old dumb zone. Yes, that's sometimes they're, that's how they track. That's how they know that you came from us. Anyway, let's get back to some Jerry audio. You know what? I didn't even mention.

and you didn't even mention you were the reporter on the scene you're not going to tell me that Brandon Aubrey hit a 64-yard field goal I mean that's just easy for him don't you think it was cool to see though it's impressive he hit the freaking net it's it's the guy's incredible um I'm reading this book where is it it's called the inner game of tennis have we talked about this at all yeah why are you reading that

yeah it's a classic actually because I read I was reading another book or an article, maybe it was an Ethan Strauss article that was talking about coaches rave about this book. Pete Carroll, Steve Kerr, they will give this book to their players to read. So it's called the Inner Game of Tennis, but it can mean a lot to, you know, athletes from all over the place, maybe even in other parts of life, I don't know. But it's kind of about blocking out noise, blocking out the inner noise even that you have with your self-1 and self-2. And as I'm reading this, I'm like, this seems like Brandon would be all about this.

And, you know, we've talked before about some kind of self-help books or something that maybe you've started to read and be like, I don't really need to read this. This kind of seems real obvious. Maybe Brandon's like that and doesn't need to read it because that's kind of the way he goes about things anyway. But it seems like he does have, you know, no emotion about him. And just like he's like a robot and he's just about the flow of the whole thing. I don't know.

It's, he's really good. So did you send him the wreck? Hope they lock him up. No, I thought I'd ask him about it on the show. So pretend you guys never heard all that when we get Brandon Aubrey this week. Okay, so Jerry. was on two different podcasts. He gave his buddy, Michael Irvin, the first crack at it,

and a couple hours later, released one with Stephen A. Smith. So, you know, doing Michael Irvin a favor, help you get your little YouTube thing off the ground, and then Stephen A to get the millions and millions of followers that he already has. And maybe this will become apparent during the audio, But I don't think he was just doing Michael Irvin a favor. I think he was, let me find somebody that will carry the team's water fully. And let me talk to them and Mike, you know.

Mike just wants everybody to be happy. So he's not going to be like, hey, Jerry, you know, why didn't you do this or that or that? I don't know. It just seems like this is set up, right? For sure. Irvin wants Parsons here. So in listening to all of it, It's actually like one's an hour, one's like an hour, 20, or hour and a half.

It's a similar outline for both. The beginning, middle, and end were similar in many ways. And then there was like an overall thing that was kind of similar in two ways. And the overall thing was on both interviews, there might have been some, it kind of sucks that the guy's name is Mike Gah and not Mike Gould. And then he's talking to a guy named Mike Gull about Mike Gah. and then the guy named Michael also will mess up the name Micah and that gives us a

messing up the name montage from both shows. I don't know any of the three that's going to be able to get to a quarterback better than Michael Parsons. And what I have offered. Micah, I mean, not Michael, Michael. And please, forgive me for, since the subject is Michael, okay? What we hear was it would it have made, Michael? You don't have to tell me that number, but would it have made Michael the highest paid, you know, quarterback?

Michael came in from Saudi Arabia. Call me Saudi Arabia coming in. Michael Irvin. Michael. Michael. Michael. But I don't want whatever going on between the ageing and to get in the way of our player, Michael. Incredible.

It is incredible. And I had forgotten, I guess, because you just hear eight ball. but I had forgotten Here's something you learned from the Cowboys documentary Irvin calls Troy Roy He was never able to He just immediately

From day one Roy Roy When they asked Troy about it He's like I don't know All right So I said beginning middle

That was overall Then we have a beginning Kind of starts out the same And both oddly enough Now with the Stephen A Smith one And I think it starts out with a lie. The issue is who I negotiated with. I'm standard.

I'm operating in my shoes here. I'm the general manager and I have been since I bought the team. So I negotiated Herschel Walker. I negotiated all the contracts. That's right. Okay. So I thought, oh, that's interesting. Let me go back and look at the Herschel Walker contract history.

He was signed by the Cowboys before Jerry bought the team to a five-year, $5 million contract. copying at the time and then was traded before the contract was up so so i think what jerry's doing there is he knows that the hershal thing the big contention point of the documentary frankly is who deserves more credit for trading hershal walker jimmy or jerry and jimmy knows there's jerry knows that that's out there and that's what people are talking about and he's just rushing through that and saying like I did the Herschel contract he means I'm responsible for the Herschel Walker trade well like I said in the beginning of both interviews some for some reason Herschel is top of mind maybe because he just watched that this makes all the sense in the world

now and he works an analogy with the Mika situation Mika it's kind of like the A-Rod situation when he's signed with the Rangers do you want one guy for this price or do you want would you take Herschel Walker over the players we got for Herschel Walker? That's a good comeback. Herschel Walker wouldn't take that either, but look at the double

handful of players we got for one player with Herschel Walker. So he's kind of like saying, I'm going to have to pay Micah this much. I could pay three players that much combined. That was what he was saying with Michael Irvin. That's dangerous. I mean, I don't read too much into it because right before he gave Zeke like the greatest contract of all time, he was talking all sorts of cash about maybe you

don't need to have an elite running back to be good in the NFL. So he will just run his mouth to scare people. I don't think they would ever actually trade Micah. I mean, after this weekend, I don't know. Do you trust them to get an appropriate haul? No way. Yeah, probably... They traded Amari Cooper for a fourth-round pick. I don't trust them to get an appropriate haul, but I do think that their scouting department

and their, you know, Will McLean's operation, that they can do more with picks than most. That guy... Yeah, if they can get... That guy... He has to fight with one hand tied behind his back and does a pretty good job of it. Do you want to hear the end?

The end of both interviews didn't really have anything to do with, Michael Parsons, but at the end of both interviews, maybe each interviewer felt obliged to just ask about Brian Schottenheimer? Well, first of all, he's no novice. He's not new. He's been in the NFL 30-something years, plus he was raised around Marty Schottenheimer's table and sat there. So he's one of the most experienced people in the NFL you'll ever have.

Okay. you'll ever have somehow we're now changing the narrative on Brian Schottenheimer to like he was the most experienced coach I could have gotten yeah yeah now listen sometimes he's saying he's a first year head coach sometimes guys get hired too early they're the hot new thing this is certainly the opposite of that because he this guy's been around 35 years and no one saw anything in him is not the greatest ever thought of hiring him as a head coach and like I said that was at the very end of the Michael Irvin same thing at the very end of the Stephen A. Smith. I like the fact that Schottenheimer is going to be running the offense from the head coaching position. A lot of people question that. I still question it. Because there's a lot to do there, a lot to do.

Here's a guy with 30 years of experience. He's been in this league 30 years. And he's been here, but he wasn't calling plays. But he has called plays before. But here's my point to you. He had osmosis set around the table with Marty Schottenheimer, had all that. That's fair. Okay, what we're going to get is he ain't Brian no more.

He's the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. That sounds good in his head because I think that's what he said when they announced the hiring, right? Yeah, and I still don't understand what it means. Do you? It would make more sense if, like, Brian were a name like Danny or, you know what I mean? It's an adult name. He's Brian. So let's jump back into Michael Irvin.

And Jerry, we're going to time shift. It's like the monkey documentary. We're going to jump here, and we're going to jump here. A lot of people are saying today's show is a lot like that monkey documentary. But Jerry is defining to Michael Irvin what all-in means. Oh, good. It's been a year since I've heard that. I always know and I always think, and I'm always willing to do what it takes.

A year ago, I'm a dad the highest paid player ever in the history. of the NFL. That is all the proof you need. So people are saying, will he do whatever it takes to win? I might say it's scouring the earth for the best head coach that you could find and paying whatever that takes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I might pay him as such. But his is, I will pay the 10th best quarterback in the NFL more than anybody else in the NFL.

That is the way he defines all in. Now, speaking of DAC, we've used a Herschel analogy for how this whole thing is going, but I think we're still talking to Michael Irvin here. We have a DAC analogy. I did that with DAC, and we couldn't agree. So, Dak played his last year of his contract, and then we franchised him. And so it's exactly what happened with Dak. and we move forward and of course ultimately we got a contract made DAC the highest paid player in the NFL

so the precedent is handling it like DAC see that's the funny thing when jerry says this is the precedent the thing about jerry and precedents is it changes every time yes the calendar change there's no precedent yeah like the precedent iica is probably looking at the precedent and i guarantee you his people are looking at the precedent of Zeke and his contract. Yep. Now, what he didn't do, or maybe he's looking at CD, the CD precedent. What Zeke did was leave, and what CD did was leave, and just they weren't there.

The DAC precedent is DAC's here, and so we're just going to keep paying him. Now, it is a risk on both sides. there is certainly a Micah Parsons gets injured and he can't play any more risk. Therefore, he loses $100 million. And then the risk for the Cowboys is we're going to have to pay him way more than we should pay him.

We could have had him at $30 million. We could have had him at $35, you know, et cetera, et cetera. You could have had DAC, in theory, like at the low 20s at one point when he ended up signing for over 30 and then now he's the very highest at like 50 and 60 right

so that's the risk they took and it's you know the risk is that you're the thing is they're probably not going to be able to win they're not going to be able to spend more money around that player and that's on the Cowboys that's their risk so both sides are taking a risk risk. And ultimately, the decision will be up to the team. That is the way that this whole thing is

set up. Now, the Micah Parsons camp could argue, yeah, but everybody from his draft class drafted before him or around him, who is a good player, they've already been locked up. Okay. But the cowboys are still willing to take a risk and play this more like the DeMarcus Lawrence. Lawrence situation where I had to now franchising DeMarcus Lawrence, DeMarcus Lawrence was extremely happy because he was not a first round pick who was our totally wrecking the league like Michael Parsons is kind of thought of as a top three, top five.

Yeah. You know, defensive player for sure. But that's just where Jerry is thinking. He's thinking like that. Now here's the viral moment. We'll start with well, we'll start with Michael Lawrence. Irvin because this came out first.

But this was the big viral moment. So in Jerry's retelling of the tale and both sides, I think, tell the tale of they met. Jerry and Michael one-on-one. Jerry's coming out of it

with, we have a contract done. And then he's going to call the agent and tell him that we've worked out a deal. So that's what he's telling to Michael. Irvin here. When we wanted to send the details to the agent, the agent told us to stick it up her ass. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Now, see, I was sure. So you're clear. Wait, wait, wait, wait. What do you mean? So, so we don't know. Okay, so. Okay, so. I can't believe, by the way, when I saw this coming

out, I think it was Jane Slater first, but it's remarkable to me that there are people that feel they need to be like spoke to the agent he never said those words like do you not know when someone's speaking colloquially are you paraphrasing like are we have we gone this far jerry is going to change it up a bit for the stephen a interview and he'll get more more in detail on it jerry can i have your cell number i don't ever get me invited myself is how it started even before they give you my cell number we negotiate we go back and forth we come through we go the next day we negotiate get it all done i get a call i don't want you to call me anymore micha don't call me anymore he said that we haven't called micha parsons said to you i don't want you to call me anymore don't call me anymore

after calling you that's correct and igniting a negotiation he turns around our numbers and we negotiate and negotiating and then he calls you back and said don't call i don't want you to call me the agent calls uh he says uh uh uh we need to start a negotiation with mica guy says well we have negotiated we'll send you over the deal proverbially just keep it i won't tell you where put it but just keep it we're going to start a negotiation okay we've had the negotiation period god this is insane that's where he softened it to say proverbially he told me where to put it

yeah i mean what if the guy said f off it's the same thing you know what he was just saying no or but then i find it annoying that the media is like um we spoke to david he never said that right so this is where though i i'm contriving the whole okay so mika calls him back and says hey i can't talk about this don't call me that's where mika realized he was in over his head he's been admonished by his team to hey you shouldn't be in there having a meeting with him that's uh for the big boys here now we got to go clean this up so mika has to call him and say hey i let's not talk anymore jerry's thinking i already did talk. Now the agent's like, no, we're starting now. We'll start with those numbers.

And I can kind of see Jerry's side of the story on this. I hate to say this because I like to be, you know, very labor, very pro labor. I guess the pro labor part I would just say is what's the point of any of this. You're saying they're mitigating risk like a few, a couple million dollars. Like you know what type of player this is. Yeah. You know what he is. You know that he's going to provide you the value. Yeah, but I also know now that he's a petul little baby that's going to lay on a table if he's not getting his way. Do I want to give that guy $200 million?

I don't know if I do. Last year when the season was falling apart, there was really no reason to come back. He did. And he went out there and was incredible. He was maybe the best defensive player in the league in the back half of the year with, what, 11 sacks and 10 games or something. He didn't have to do that. He showed up at camp.

And I think that was obviously not. now a massive mistake, but I think he did it because he thought it would be the thing to do as a leader. I'm not going to sit here and say that the guy's fully mature. I think he's trying to keep everybody happy, and it put himself in a really bad spot. But I also don't understand why they can't tomorrow just say, we're going to give you four years at 37 million, and we're going to guarantee X amount of it, and it would be done. They like to put the screws to people a little bit, And that feels like all this is, is that he didn't kneel before the throne. And so now they're going to make him pay for it a little bit and rub his nose in it.

And that doesn't seem like good business to me. It feels personal. All of this feels personal. Against the agent, between Jerry. You know, when Micah was talking about their other guy in the front office, I think his name is Adam. But Micah calls him like, oh, they called their little Aaron boy. Yeah. So they're all talking shit.

Yeah. It feels perfect. It doesn't feel like good business to me. Here's Jerry's public message to the agent. And we've got it done. And if the agent wants to finish up the detail, which is should and do all the paperwork, you can do that. And we're ready to go. But as far as the amount of money, the years, the guarantees, all of that, we negotiate that.

Guarities. At least that's his public posturing. He's been laying this out there as well. now i am the cat that writes the check okay now micah's got three years with the cowboy's lit he's got three years at some point somebody has to have the say over the other at some point it has to be that way it's always my job is managing the check okay uh micah's got to do the playing of this whole equation we're talking about. What is the least incremental part of the whole equation? The attorney or the agent. He works for Micah. I mean, he is right there. Here,

he wants to tell everybody why agents are bad. We've heard these things before. So many times in this industry, you have a different agenda going on with agents. a different agenda. They're playing a game. You tell me, our agents incentivized to not only get the most of that player, but they're trying to get what? They're trying to get other players

because they got a high agenda for that player. That's their incentives, okay? Yeah, but Jerry's incentive is to rightfully get the most amount of production for as little money as possible. So it doesn't It's just natural Odd to me that he's still Fighting this title wave of like

Boy it's weird these guys want representation You know These individuals with zero financial literacy Tons of hangers on Asking them for this and for that Why do we got to get an agent involved Yeah But I would say

I like talking to the uneducated ones Not the ones with college degrees That's basically what he's saying Don't bring smart black guys around here For sure It's way easier with the other ones Micah's problem is that he started with himself. Yeah.

You have to start by saying, I'm not, I'm an uneducated. Let me tell you something else. Speaking of Dak, this is. I start here with the, just deal with the agent. I play. I don't know how to do this stuff. I just play football. Let me tell you.

Micah, though, sees himself as more of that. There you go. And that's the problem. You can't be doing a podcast every week when you're in the news and not make comment on it. Dack didn't have to lay off of his contract talk on his podcast that week, because it doesn't exist. So to the, you know, maybe middle ground here of Establish the Run guy who's like, I want him to hit an attack on dummy. Why does he have a podcast?

And the, ah, it doesn't matter, man, like he shows up at work. The reality is it creates some very awkward dynamics because he's taken questions from fans. And he's chatting and he's live. And if his contract is in the news, that's a problem. problem. Dat can easily say my agent handles it, whereas Micah knows what every player's making when all their contracts are up and he's out there talking about it. That puts him in an awkward spot. Just be boring like deck, I guess. Yeah, you can see the team points just on the, it's kind of like Dirk

when he took $22 million instead of he could have taken $24 and then got a lot of positive publicity that he took less than he could have that's how much he cares about the team we didn't take $2 million and let him

you know and that's it feels like that is kind of the we're all guessing because we weren't there in this meeting but I kind of feel like that is kind of Micah's mindset is I'll take a little less than

I don't have to have to have the highest paid ever. Want to be fair, though. I'll shave a few million off of that, sure. But I do want players around me, and I want that. They had that kind of a talk. And then the agent, I do believe their agenda has, you know, is, no, we're going to get you the most, look, did Dak take a discount, Micah?

No, he didn't. Why are you going to take a discount? You really trust them, the Cowboys, to go spend that money wisely? That's the first thing they're saying. Look at all the other guys they've let walk. And so, again, this, I do put a lot of this at Micah's. Now, the Cowboys might still be doing this if Micah had let off with the agent. But at least it would.

It wouldn't be public. You know, it would just, again. He's not laying it down on a training table in the middle of a game. If you handle it like that, well, no, you handled it like Dak did. I hate to say that was the perfect way to handle it, but it wasn't. It was. It was the, hey, my agent handles all this stuff. I don't know. I'm here to talk about football. What do you want to talk about? Yeah. Like, he's boring, and Michael Parsons is anything but boring. So it's a weird bit in that we as broadcasters and even fans, you want to, you want personality. You want guys saying stuff. You want fun.

and then we got a guy it's kind of like some of the people I want I want a non-politician to come in here and oh well not this one no like like you know

it's a big mess it is very fun it's exciting that's great will he be playing Thursday I don't see how he can be he media reports say he was not at the portion

of practice yesterday that was open to the media but that he was in the building yeah because i saw i saw clearance tweet out that he wasn't there for the uh portion of the practice open of the media uh sam william senior simply quote tweeted that with cap which is a modern term for bullshit so every medium because i i saw like four this is my football team this is what we do I saw four medium members. So they're all, like, if I'm on Micah's side, I'm going, I feel now publicly. Like, should Sam Williams be the kind of guy, like, Trayvon's been paid? Should Sam Williams kind of lay low a little bit here?

Do we need you publicly? Now, have you tracked? Is this keeping it real, went wrong? Have you tracked a whole lot of the Sam Williams history that's keeping it low key right now? Jerry was joking that, ah, he's going slower now. Yeah. Yeah, he's, he's a wild. card that's the he was drafted in the second round by the cowboys that's so any second round pick is

always the high risk i mean it's got a serious track record of them taking those types of shots from jalen smith to tristan hill to randy gregory on down the line man there's a lot of boss man boss man fat kelvin joseph how's he doing i don't think he is he's out of the league i think so recently uh yeah uh yesterday right yeah yeah oh i thought today was the final cutdown day oh you're good okay so mazzi's still there and mazzi's still there uh duce just got waved oh wow okay so it wasn't the final uh yeah you can get anyway it doesn't matter well shoddy had indicated there may be some surprises

and I don't think there really is any. Now that Deuce has been waived, now I say there, like, it was a surprise to me that he was actually on the team still. Yeah, I mean, dude, watch him. It's not going to work. It's very obvious that it's not going to work. Maybe he's a coach, right? He's going to be a coach.

He'll be on the practice squad. He'll be a coach. At Kansas State. Yeah, no, not here, but he's done. You guys want to do some news? Yes. Brought to us by Early Bird CBD. Early Bird CBD is, it's got THC in it.

I don't want to gamble today. Absurd. I'm already drinking. Let me go to the links. Jesus, what does this guy have? Cocaine? Doesn't he know I'm already drinking beer? A couple quick ones here.

Elderly couple and garland got scammed out of 25K. Woman of Frisco, a 22-year-old woman. I should have put the picture in here. Her name's Jessica Bahu, B-A-H-U. She's got a lot of lip filler. Probably could look hot, I'm guessing. She's about 20 and she has lip filler? 22.

There's some big lips. Yeah. What's interesting here, though, is I'm not sure how much her physical appearance actually played into this. Kind of a mugshotty. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah. The victims told the copy. They got a phone call from someone claiming...

The sitting just got up and walked over. Claiming to be from Chase. This is interesting. You got it. They got a phone call from someone claiming to be, quote, from Chase and the FBI, who are commonly known to be working with a single agent. You'll go get her.

The caller convinced him to take out 25K in cash and bring it to them in a remote parking lot where she was waiting and identified herself as an FBI agent. and they just gave to the moment. Can we victim blame ever? Well, you know what I'd like to do? I'd like to know how old the olds were. Actually, they're listed here, and I'll tell you.

Because I do feel like when you say elderly, it's like with had underage sex or something, like 16 and 4 are not the same. 65 and 95 are not the same. Yeah. Yeah. In this case, we're talking. in 80 and 70. 80 and 77. So right on the line of should you be able to be convinced with one

phone call to get $25,000 out of your bank and meet somebody in a parking lot? Like this isn't Edward Snowden here, guys. This is just some hot bottle surface waitress in friscoes. Like, what if I try calling old people? Yeah, let's victim blame. They don't, they shouldn't get their money back. How about that? Is that what? Yeah, no, I don't know if that, but, like, you really think that someone's going to want you to get $25,000 in cash? From the FBI. And Chase. I think it's also a, like, there's no...

Probably an indictment of your family situation. It's sad, right? Like, if you, you should, it's sad if you don't have a family member at all. They don't want to do that. Do you're embarrassed? Yeah. Would you call the cops just to say, hey, what do you think about this? I don't know.

It just feels like it'd be very difficult. First of all, it's probably hard to get $25,000 in cash. I remember trying to get $1,000 for the TC hog bet. I mean, that was easy, but we had to get ones. That took a while. But they, yeah. It seems like they had to jump. through a, I don't know, a few hoops, and then they met her in person, which is the craziest

part of the story to me. I feel like at that point, you're like, okay, what are we doing here? 29-year-old man in Dallas was killed the hit-and-run crash Saturday morning, Friday night, Deep Ellum. I'm telling you this story because... I thought Deep Ellum has the things up now. This, just wait. So, if you're not that familiar with, like, the end of Deep Ellum by the freeway, which I don't think you... people tried to cross the i-35 ramp i-345 ramp right there that

is the end of deep ellum where the freeway starts now this victim blame again yeah it's it was a group of friends they walked up elm street to call an uber right there and then the sidewalk ends and they decided to cross the exit ramp yeah so as we went across the street as soon as we did a car came out of

nowhere down the exit ramp going extremely fast you know like they will The group made it safely across the street, but the driver swerved and jumped the curb onto the median. You can see images of this in Fox 4's story. And then when it hit that media, it hit a guy and sped off. 29-year-old guy killed him. Now, this guy was with a group of friends walking from a comedy club in Deep Ellum where he and they had just performed. And he is listed as 29-year-old comedian, Henry Cruz.

So Any of our buddies know him? I didn't ask But The bar I feel like we now know is low Like if you go show up at a comedy club And do an open mic and you get killed Because we always wonder like how are they going to talk

Are we even a big enough deal to be like Local entertainer or something Or would it just be Local man But if this guy can just show up at a comedy club club, do a five-minute set, and now it's like Dallas comedy legend passes away tragically. Do we all just exaggerate our hobbies and death? Like, boy, he was an avid fisherman, and he went like twice a year.

Yeah, yeah. It's like you and Superman. Guy just love Superman. Yeah, will that be, what will be on my thing? Oh, my God. Local radio. That sign from Fargo. Superman guy.

The fish signed from Fargo. What? Everyone else was wrong, and I was right? When you're right and they're wrong, we'll be, if I have anything to say about it. Thanks. In the White Rock area, or excuse me, Lakewood area, a woman is in serious condition after a large tree fell on her passing SUV this morning. Damn. It's pretty unlucky.

Yeah, dude. How fast was a tree full? That's a great question, Al. Yeah. It's a sponge. Dan and I aren't hitting that tree. Down power lines, more than 100 customers out of power. But yeah, you're just, you're driving.

And then tree falls. The next thing you know, you're the governor. Man, I got one I want to end with. Let's see how we want to stack this. Southwest Airlines now has a new policy for customers who need multiple seats, as they call, quote, customers of size in their policy. I saw this.

I feel so, Mike Reiner. And we've got some passengers of size. There will be three requirements that plus size passengers must meet in order to qualify for a refund for a seat on a flight. So the way this works is, and maybe you can tell us, Clayton. I'm sorry, I don't know. uh the policy for customers of size required them to purchase two seats when booking a flight and then ask for a refund for the second one after they travel i guess like if they ended up

not needing that seat but you have to buy two and then after you travel apply for a refund now that's not how it's going to work the refund request must be made within 90 days of the travel day the flight must depart with at least one open seat or with other travelers who have space available tickets it can't be a full flight and both seats must be purchased in the same class that one's interesting because I think they were trying to split them up and you know get a refund on one I didn't know that this was like a whole game that this is how it works if you're in the big person game you have to apply to get refunded for that ticket.

I don't understand how they get a refund if they need the two seats. I think they give you the refund when they don't need the seat. Like... Or do you buy two knowing that no one can sit next to you, then you just treat you like a rebate? That way they don't overbook the flight? Yeah, that probably sounds right. Yeah.

still though I'm a little confused on why they would feel the need to refund you oh someone could clear this up for us absolutely insane story in Richardson what do you guys know about the bounty hunter game

outside of being the dog the big bad dog the bounty hunter there's no rule feels like there's no rules we have a story of a man in Richardson a 22 year old man

his name is Hussein al-Sadi his family immigrated here I believe legally is reported by the news from Iraq in 2012 facing some serious oppression over there like his dad's

brothers had been kidnapped and murdered they come here 22 years old he's an aspiring barber he lives at home he's given a haircut in his garage to somebody and again his name is hussein al-sati u-hall van rolls up as he's told the police three armed black males jump out in tactical gear throw two stun gun grenades train a r's on him and his family and they told him you're under arrest or we're we're bounty hunters you have a bond or you're wanted for a capital murder charge and terroristic threats and they bound him and the upshot of

this story as you can probably tell is this was a different hussein el sadi than the one that they're looking for who the u.s marshals and state department had the bail bonds who hired these bounty hunters called could have told you that guy fled ironically back to iraq in 2024 after making terroristic threats and an attempted murder charge. So this guy is just cutting hair. So now does the bounty hunter get charged for something? All three of them have been charged with kidnapping and murder. Harder.

Yeah. Or, excuse me, attempted murder, I think was one of them. For one of the guys who had, you know, you can't just point a weapon at somebody's head and threaten their life. Like, that can turn into an attempted murder charge. but Fox Ford did a great story on this. They talked to one member of the Bounty Hunter team, and he's like, look, this is our job, okay?

So this bail bonds company called us, provided us with this dossier of research, provided us with photo evidence. There was a 97% facial recognition match, which incidentally makes me feel a lot less racist. The computer also thinks that if you throw various minorities in front of it, It's going to get it wrong, too. So this guy's like, this is our job.

We didn't do anything wrong. What they did was the guy's like, it's not me. This is insane. They called the Richardson Police. The Richardson Police brought out a mobile fingerprinting unit. And this guy's talking to Fox 4, and he's like, there's a circle of people around me, three bounty hunters, the police, my family, his mom, his dad, his brother, his special needs sister, and they're just waiting for these fingerprints to come back.

And as soon as it says it's him. them, these two guys hop in a U-Haul, ARs and all, and drive off. And that's it, except for now they're being charged. So it's like the company should be charged. Yeah, and Fox 4 was not able to get a hold of... Or maybe it's like these people shouldn't really be able to do this. Yeah. The company is called...

The Bailbonds company is called the clandestine group. Of course. And they wear, like, sick-ass, like, strike team skull jackets and shit. And the bail bond place is called Bring Them Home Bail Bonds. Kind of a Brigham Young, Bring them Home Bail Bonds. So, yeah, they say, look, we had this facial recognition, we had this AI tool, we had all this research. They told us it was the guy, we'd go get the guy. Now I want to play a game, a new game here on the news.

called Who You're Going to Trust. So there's a long, again, a great piece on Fox 4's website if you want to go find it. They interviewed two lawyers. One lawyer for the bounty hunter, the clandestine group, and one lawyer for the victim. We're going to play Who You're going to trust. Throw up the bounty hunter's lawyer first. You can see here we have a younger man with two gold rings, two diamond stud earrings. A finely manicured, like, beard.

He's Asian, but that's incidental. He's just a really hip-looking guy. He's got gel in his hair. He's doing the thing where he's like, and I'm going to tell you one thing and does the thumb and a second thing. That's a good observation. Yeah. Thumb is one.

I'm cocky, okay? This is the first thing. Because I'm index finger one guy. Yeah. But thumb one. Cocky. So the thumb one means you're going to probably use all five. Yeah, I'm going to get there.

That's the bounty hunter. attorney as we play who you're going to trust. Let's look at the victim's attorney. Not sure either. We got a squared away looking guy, but he looks nervous as all get out. We have Damon Matthias, the attorney for the accused, Al-Sadi, or excuse me, the victim. And he's like, I don't know. At least I don't have chains on.

That's a bad still. I did him dirty. Yes. His mouth is weird. Well, by a note. I'm going to take the victim's attorney in today's edition of who you're going to trust. Just because I can't see his jewelry. He's standing in front of a painting.

I don't know why that helps him. It does help him. I love the tweets when you see like somebody post their lawyer and they're like, I'm going to jail today. It's just some guy with, you know, like way too cool of a suit. We're going to go international for this one. Okay, I swear to God this is not made of. There is a website in Italy that is being shut down.

There were 32,000 members on it, and it is being shut down by META for violating our adult sexual exploitation policies. This is a group where Italian men shared intimate images of often unsuspecting women with thousands of people. online the group was called the mea mowgli group which of course simply translates to my wife oh really it's just my life it's just my life in italian guys italian guys posted pictures of their hot unsuspecting wife and Boy, that should be legal. I know, right? It's your wife.

But what about... I thought we're allowed to do whatever we want with him. That's Trump's thing, right? You can't rape your wife? Didn't his lawyer make that case? Has he? Is he? During Marlon Maples or something.

But yeah, I mean, some of these were, you know, again, unsuspecting, sexual, like, could be revenge porny type stuff, but if you're saying that we could have some sort of I just love my wife so much that I can post her banging nudes for the boys to check out rule in marriage. Like, I'm not, I'm not going to shoot that down because I love my wife and the boys. What about a nice burst in while she's on the toilet? That's really weird. Just a, you don't got to get a picture of any of the excrement or anything. Just a picture of her.

Like, would she get mad? Let's all try that. Yeah, I mean. Let's all try that. Is that the sticking point? If the excrement is in the picture, that's the bad part? No, you don't even need to get any down low. It's just her on the toilet, and she'll be very upset.

Try it. Try it at home tonight. I got another weird one from the Internet and from Europe for you. When we first started this whole thing, Blake was like, the whole thing is going to be a bad kick. If we're not on kick, we won't make it. They paid you by the hour. It was kind of interesting. Plus the percentage is much better, you said,

than Patreon under substack? Against all odds. Or Twitch, much better than Twitch. Kick? It was going to beat Twitch. It's still around. And I think one of the things it has, much like the outback, no rules, it seems. Like the bounty hunters.

So there's a streamer. He is known online as Jean Pormanovae, or Porminov. Do you know this guy? um he died now here's a tricky thing this guy's bit was to get tortured on kick kind of like a

there's a black mirror in live stream broadcast viewers would egg on the streamers as they conducted acts of violence and physical and moral humiliation that's absolutely a black mirror episode one of the recent ones he had more than half a million

followers, 15,000 people watching live on average. And they, because they give tips and stuff, right? Yeah. Yeah. So back in January, some French officials had arrested and detained two men who were beating the shit out of this guy on a stream. But the guy was doing it willingly, right? Yeah. Yeah, he's saying, beat me up.

And they then interviewed him, and they're like, you're a victim. And he says, I'm not. I'm here to stage and create buzz to make money, and I'm making about 7K a month. Go, girl. So he died being tortured? Yeah. Yeah.

How? It doesn't say exactly. It doesn't say. Probably a matter. I mean, you know, I probably could have figured it out by looking online, but they're just saying, as a result of intense humility. intense physical violence. You had a heart condition?

Okay. That's not the game you want to be in, I would think. Also, like, probably everybody has a heart condition once you get put in that spot, right? Like, oh, man. Yeah, my heart's, like, super healthy. Okay. Now I've got two guys torturing you. Like, I think we're going to find out if the ticker's struggling.

But, yeah, crazy story. you still won't watch black mirror um you know i was i'm open to it now i'm open to it now i'm open to a lot of stuff now that i wasn't before uh pegging i've always been open to that you have to stay open to that but you know black mirror when i was like kind of effed up in the head not feeling great about myself that's just not really something you want to add to it like because that shows very real and honestly very realistic and probably if you think about it we should all be like joining hands and walking into the ocean and ending civilization. The whole thing is fucking cooked beyond means.

We've outstripped our biology, right? I thought you said you used to feel bad. But that's why it's better off not to think about that and to just, you know, grab an early bird and a donut and watch some football. That's the news today. Do we need to have donut? Donuts for our football parties? I'm not against it, man.

I eat so much fucking cake over the last month. I am. I've had a real big month. I have, dude. I just, now I want donuts. And him talking about the Cowboys spread up there. Remember the, it's dangerous, man. Remember that one guy?

Oh, you're done? Yeah. Remember that guy that was telling you? Oh, yeah. Alcoholic can't have sweets because that's just, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, don't sleep either. If anybody was ever in doubt, look at the bottom corner of this picture of Jake. What do I got?

Pringles? You got some Pringles and a little looks like a snapple. I was so proud of this picture just because you can see, yes, I'm committed to the Cowboys. That's a little kid, Jake. But at an early age, I wanted to be a Philadelphia flyer. They played a different brand of hockey. The fans were crazy. Bullies on Broadway.

So how many years, you got a couple years to plan your wife's 40th now? Like, I feel like you've got. You've got to start now. She has put the bar way too high. I have to, like, leave the country. You have to... Like, take her... Yeah.

Yeah. And this little bit you're doing here is not helping. Well, hopefully you can get divorced me. She put a lot of effort into your party. Shut up. I would do it if I was him. Yeah. I would treat her like a queen, man.

And see, the thing is she got all of his best friends together, like 28 people. He needs to do the same, if not more. I would probably get more. because she has more friends. Right. Whole family, yeah. So you need to take her somewhere nice and take all of her friends somewhere nice, too.

Okay, Blake. My life. Today in history is... Yeah. Me and Mowgli. Posts your nudes online. Happy birthday. I felt bad.

We started the show, and I had not offered Alec Fedro any lone star. You're playing... And then I noticed... Oh, he found the fridge on his own. Yeah. We're on number two. Are we doing good?

Yeah, we're good. With some Lone Star beer. What's the record? Yeah, he started. Way over two. I'm not touching the record. Yeah. But anyway, Lone Star is sending us out to a remote two Fridays from now.

The day after, oh my gosh, the day after the cowboy game? It's a big week. How about that? It is Nomad Grills in Bishop Arts. You've been out there, right? Yeah. Didn't you do a site check? Yeah, it's really cool.

Really nice area. They've got an upstairs hang area. We're going to do our show from downstairs. There's a fire pit. There's a patio. There's going to be a big screen behind us. Bars on either side. It's going to be an incredible hang.

Rangers Astros. As the Rangers try to close in on that magic number. Ah, yes. We all know what that is. Zavala's barbecue will be there. Oh, my God. And Lone Star Beer will be there as well. So join us a week from Friday at Nomad Grills.

Free admission. Party kicks off at four. So I think that means we start at four. It doesn't really indicate here. But what says party more than us? On a Friday, dude, afternoon? Us and baseball. You're going to be riding that cowboy dub high?

I'm going to be out of control that day. The football world has been shocked. Shocked by Shottie. The Dumb Zone presents today in history. We think they need to get to 86 wins. To do what? To get in. How many do they have?

What are they? 500? Yeah, one below, I think. One below. That's pretty good. 666.67. I don't know if you've noticed, Dan, but your guardians got the hell out of our way. Yeah. But the problem is

is that the dumper don't stop as Cal Raleigh touched 50 last night. Damn. 50. How's our fat guy doing? Awesome. Rowdy?

Yeah. Which one? Or Jake. All right. So we'll start with viewer male birthdays. And I got this over the weekend. It says, Happy Sunday.

Sorry this isn't an email, but the great Matt Butt has a birthday today. I'm sure he'll be listening from Chicago, where his wife took him for the big four or five. Take her to Chicago, dude. I would do that. She deserves better than that. You're right. I would take her overseas when Kristen turns 40. I think his last name is probably pronounced Boutte or Bout.

I got an email from Matt who says, DF number 269 here. I'm a proud member of the Jake's Cigarette Club. Today I turned 45. Shout out to fellow members of the DF69 Club and shout out to Sam Madison, who I had a pleasure to work with at Big Big. Baylor once he became a nurse.

Hell yeah. Let's check in with those Sams sometime. Yeah, great intern. And much love to graphic artist extraordinaire, Skylar Theo, from Matt Butt pronounced booty. So it is actually pronounced booty. It is. So calling him Matt Butt is fine. Of the Cajun variety.

That is a guy who, uh, has, he was like an ER nurse, had a crazy life and was like, I think I just want to become like a fitness guy. Matt? Yeah. And now he's ripped his. shit and he keeps telling me like hey if clayton wants to get in shape i got it and he's like his twitter handle is blue cheese wings and his big push to me was like you can get in shape and still eat mexican pizzas all the time just got to know how to do it have you ever felt any

indication exuding from clayton's pores that no but you got you got to offer You got to offer. Send me his handle. But the sales, yeah, the sales pitch you just gave was a good one. It is. You can do it. Wait, I can eat. When you eat it and all that.

Ooh, that's going to hurt you, Clayton. I think Clayton likes to eat when he wants to eat. I know. I don't want to. Like Clayton lives life the way he wants to live it, and he should. We are all gods. We all have TiVo. We all can just shape the world to be the way we want it.

Do we want to do a show Friday morning? We do. That's what I thought. And then the next thing I know, I'm hearing from the Italian authorities about some photos I posted of my wife. And I'm like, I'm God. They're like, that's not going to work. But nice photos. Dear Dan, I recognize the birthday of fellow DZ devotee Brandon.

At Brandon F. Dub on Twitter. It is his John Sina birthday. Let's see. His leaders are Rhett Beaumar's right to work. Sigma Alpha Epsilon bus tours Wow, that's a great callback You remember that story, Dan? That was a fun one, really fun one.

We tracked that heavy on It's Just banter Because it was the frat boys Who were chanting there Like hanging in by a tree And everyone was like This is going to ruin these young men's lives Cancel culture out of control

Like they're kicked out of school And this and that and the frat We checked up like seven years later And they were all like partners at equity trading firms making it didn't derail their lives just in case you're wondering I got a brand in text

dude what a what did he say he says let's do game day men's health I think he wants to do his first interview on next Thursday I'll have at least 30 minutes off during your show time. How about that for the first Brandon Aubrey show of the year

will be on the day of the game. We love it. We absolutely love it. What a guy. Can you what? Can I join him? Hop on the show? Yeah.

We were hoping you'd jump on at some point. That'd be great. It'd be great to actually get to talk to you when you feel good. Because you're going to be all happy and stuff. We're with Brandon. Anyway, he says his Jay Cranfield, this is from for Brandon, his unspoken birthday wishes to be buried in the milksheds. It's a good one.

Which is interesting. Oh, wait, I'll tell you why that's interesting in a second because I also got Dear Daniels the 31st birthday of my older brother, John. His leaders are Hulk Hogan's formal wear, abuelo's fight club, and the rabel. and proven in the structural integrity of the foundations of jakes and dan's home uh from rue i'll uh i'll hit you with a viewer mail real quick i'm going to jump the line because uh last week we had something from rue or regarding rue and i said that's a great name for a woman or a dog

and i got an email uh saturday it just says uh quote ru that's a great name for a woman or a dog Dog, damn, Rue, 28-year-old male, Austin, Texas. Now, here's the thing. His name is Andrew. Are we letting people go by Roo? He goes by Roo, apparently. No. Isn't there some kids' cartoon where Roo is the kangaroo?

Winnie the Pooh. Is it from that? Yes. And Akron, aren't they, Fear of the Roo? Akron University. I thought there was Zips. It's a kangaroo

Is it? What are we talking about? What? I live for in high school are the kangaroos. Oh, that too. Akron Zips Fear the Roo. Play a lot of NCAA, man.

Really? Okay. I had no idea what anybody has been talking about. The Mazzpi is a kangaroo? Yeah. Did you know that Akron's mascot was a kangaroo? Absolutely not.

I thought Zips was like flying or something, some sort of racing. I grew up very close to there and never knew until this day. They got a big kangaroo thing going on, or what? I didn't mean to stop down your show. I just, that was where my mind went. Okay, yeah. Fear of the Roo. Shout out to Roo.

In Akron, where people are not supposed to make it. Nothing's given, bitch. And, Will from East Dallas says, I just saw that Milkshed's birthday is Tuesday, August 26. Are there any plans to have her on the show? Can we make that happen? So I think he's referring to Sarah Heppala there.

I would not refer to her in that way. No. But if it is her birthday, then happy birthday, Sarah Heppala. I feel like we're not going to have her on the show because Blake did not move at all once I read that. He didn't indicate. You want to call her? No.

We're on Zoom anyway, right? Got some today in history this day in 1961 on this day. The original Hockey Hall of Fame was opened in Toronto. This was just two days after the adjacent opening of Forever 21

and Auntie Ann's pretzels. It was a big week for that mall. The Hockey Hall of Fame is literally in a mall if you've never been there. It's great. Yeah. On this day in 1987, Paul Molitor goes 0 for four in Milwaukee's win over the Indians, ending his streak at 39 consecutive games, hitting streak,

which was the seventh longest in history and the longest since Joe DiMaggio. Do you identify him as a brewer or? Of course you do. Okay. More brewer. Then he went twins, Blue Jays? Jay's Twins, but that's what I remember, you know. Yeah.

The first ever video streaming coverage of a Major League Baseball game happened on this day in 2002. Rangers. No? The Rangers. Yeah. Defeated by the Yankees, 10 to 3. Where was it? What was it on?

What was it doing? MLB.com, first ever streaming game. It said 30. 30,000 people watched at some point. I remember listening to the hard line talk about this. It was fun. Back then. It's where?

Gregos, like, trying to watch the Rangers. I couldn't find it. Yeah. Times changed. On this day in 2016, this is the day that, I guess, reporters first noted. that 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick remained seated on the team's bench rather than standing for the national anthem before the Niners played host to the Green Bay Packers in a preseason game, saying that he believed the U.S. was oppressing African Americans

and other minorities. Which turned out to be untrue. That's true. Well, that was a really fun time for sports talk. It was. And then every game would be like, did they stand? Who kneeled? You'd have to report on the three players that kneel.

Oh, my God. Cowboys locked arms with Jerry Jones. Then they all kneeled. It's still one of the greatest sports scenes. Don't you have that picture? I do. That's providing my Blake, I believe. Yeah, Jerry just looking straight into the camera like,

I'm not racist. Locking arms. And then they stand, now they sit, rendering the anthem, completely meaningless. Who is it? J.J. Abrams has done it again. Mm-hmm. And on this day in 2017, Floyd Mayweather

beat Connor McGregor in a boxing match. Mayweather earned $200 million on this. And I believe I was at some kind of a fight party watching that. On this day in 1965, one famous... You're ready? Okay. You want to hear Floyd Mayweather try to read a promo? Please.

There's a current cowboy. Who's not Bozzi. Controversial birthday. Wikipedia lists. is listed as today, as does the birthday site I'm on, but it may be December 20th, so not sure how you can mess this up. ESPN has it as December 20th. That's a Coppell Cowboy, Dan. Jamal Lewis, 46. Jeez. What a fun Madden player that was. Kyrin Williams is 25. Jamal Lewis went to the Browns, didn't he?

It's a crazy story. I think he was bipolar. Let's go missing. Stan Van Gundy, 66. Well, we're going to do. Ola Ray is 65. She is the, she was in the Michael Jackson thriller video. Hmm.

Playing his girlfriend. Melissa McCarthy is 55. Skinny now? Is she? Yeah, I think so. At one point she was. Kind of like Honey Boo Boo's mom. You'll never click here to see.

You wouldn't believe what she looks like. McCulley Culkin, 45. By the way, Melissa McCarthy added to the list, why Hillary lost. What'd she do? Trust me. Okay. She was in the Ghostbusters thing. It felt like she was kind of at the leading edge of like,

But what about us? Let's build the whole thing out of Melissa McCarthy. McCulley Culkin turns out to be the second best Culkin. I love Kieran. I love both of them. Don't we all love Kieran? McCulley's still awesome. Is he?

Yeah. Chris Pine is 45. John Mullaney is 43. He's awesome. Can we agree? Man, I don't know. Oh, no. You're against John Malaney.

now i don't know that i'm against him i just you want to be the guy that was in rehab no i want him to shut the fuck up about it i really do but i thought if we did one special it would be fine oh he does too much rehab i think and uh there's that there's also uh i think it's weird when guys are uh maybe this is not his own doing but doesn't it seem like people think he's a nice guy and he kind of lives off i'm a nice guy he looks like a nice guy is he not a nice guy i mean I don't know if he's a nice guy or not, but I mean, he went to rehab and divorced his wife and married a famous actress, like, or started dating or like the week he got out of rehab.

Could have been a lot going on, who knows, but it doesn't look good. And I just like for people like me, everyone to know, that guy's not that good of a person. Probably like. Melaney? Plus the wife was probably pushing him like, hey, this will really save our relationship if you go to rehab. Little did she know. Yeah. I don't know, he just, he seems like an asshole to me.

Uppity. Rapper Big Crit is 39. So, gosh, damn underrated. One of the greatest rappers out of the South of the last 20 years, does his own production, sings his own hooks. What's Critt stand for? King remembered in time. Crissel. One of the loudest rap shows I've ever seen.

And in fact, I used to, like, burn this dude's CDs and hand him out until I get college. at grad school. I was really, really into him. Met him at a couple shows. And I was like, how am I the only person who knows this guy at this time? And then there was a guy

named David Hellman who worked for the Cowboys and he went to LSU, very annoying on Twitter. And his Twitter profile was like, biggest crit staying in the world. And I was like,

fuck it, I'm out. Never mentioned it again. Out. Don't let others influence who you are. Just be yourself. I enjoy it privately now. And when he comes up on a birthday.

Dance like nobody's watching, Jake. You got to be careful who you associate with. Like if you're like, oh, I'm really into this guy. And then some guy who's a dweeb is like, me too. You don't want that look. Protect it. Jake's right here. And our dumb zone birthday of the day, actor Chris Burke is 60.

I recently sent you that audio, right? What? I was going through old stuff. and I'd never heard it before. He listened to the whole thing. And it was awesome. Okay, do you think others don't have never heard it before? Because I have that audio right here.

Okay. Chris Burke, do we know who he is? You need to reset. My generation does not know. Any idea who Chris Burke is? I don't think so, no. Okay. I don't think so now.

He's got Down syndrome. Okay. But he was an actor on TV. And he was in a show called God, what's it called? Life goes on. Life goes on. And it was just about a family and the struggles they had, ups and downs.

And Chris Burke was the kid and the family. It was about all the, you know, Becca, his sister and the mom and the dad and the kid and all that. So it's about the whole family. And we would always watch it. Like in college I don't know I mean the draw Had to be Chris Burke

But I actually watched it And cared about the storylines And I just remember watching it Yeah it was primetime TV right It was a normal show I think it was a bit So yeah then It would become to me

On my various radio shows Before getting to the ticket It was like Is Chris Burke a good actor Because he's playing a guy who has Downson. And that's one of the problems with representation, right? Is that you get the representation, but then you never know. Is he actually a good actor?

Is this person actually good at this or not? Right. I don't know. The only way to know is to hire Charlese thereon to do everything. Asian Downs. So, yeah, now we have the guests. We fast forward to the guest booking league. people you've always wanted to talk to

2006 and I threw him on my list wasn't really thinking anybody's going to book Chris Burke. Grubbs books Chris Burke who had he still has Down syndrome in 2006 right? Yeah for it didn't remission

So he's probably 41 at the time if I'm doing my quick math which is getting up there like that's a healthy person of that affliction. He's 60 right now I, it's, wow. He's got Magic Johnson care. It's the most nervous I've ever been, like, waking up and thinking about, we're doing this interview today.

Good. You know, we've, we've woke up. I've been like, oh, we're going to have Troy Eichman on the day. It's reassuring to me to hear that. We're going to have Jim Brown on today. We're going to have, like, name the biggest celebrities we've ever had on the show. I've never really been worried about any of it. But I was very worried about this Chris Burke interview.

I don't want to be. mean i don't want to i don't know what i want to do i don't know why we're doing this like i want to cancel it yep but i can't so all i know is we have chris burke booked and i'm regretting my life and uh and grubbs booked him and it's the guest booking league so we get on the air and bob uh throws it to me and says well you know like the person it's your guest and so here is what happened 20 years ago, almost. Yes, joining us now, you probably, if you remember him from anywhere, you remember him from where are you going to remember Chris Berger?

liked it and i this would look terrible and this is a fireball day like i don't know what's going to happen here this this is like so i'm not thinking about anything except like what my questions and now i start off like that are you on remote i don't know maybe Yeah. Were we? It sounded like it. Yeah. So you heard the whole 10 minutes or whatever?

I got through what I could. Oh, okay. Man, I just love to, like, just knowing Bob, like, the very first Chris. Oh, and he's loving. He's like, no problem. Right. Because he knows it's your job to interview this guy. I'm not going to say a word to him.

Chris. Good luck with you. You funny, man. You wanted to put this on your guest. Buckingley list. Okay. Let's see it, funny boy. Let's go. Make him laugh. There's the bed that you made. See how you can handle this. He's on the phone now. And he's apologizing to you. That's right. Have at it. As soon as he said happy birthday, you should have just said thanks. But I was thrown out. Like, I didn't know what he meant. It doesn't matter.

If he said, hey, heard you got married yesterday. I sure did. I had a great time. Here's a guy Monday morning. He's, oh, you know, why didn't you see the too high safeties and like whatever as i'm driving steve burline yeah oh man yeah like here's a guy oh he would have handled those bullets flying easy blake jones born on this day now dead can i do some dumb zone day oh my gosh i'm sorry that i forgot that uh today in dumb zone history there's a lot here i want to go uh in reverse order starting with last year which this came up on the show because Dan wasn't here. Any idea on how much a chimp costs?

Like if you wanted to buy one? I know now. How much? Two grand? I'm saying 30. 10? 65,000. Yeah.

Yeah, I don't even know what I was... It was in the monkey lady documentary. Better than it. Okay. And I just watched it this weekend. So the fact that I got it wrong is pretty embarrassing. So I want to do this audio tomorrow. Because it was the last preseason game for the Cowboys.

It was the first home game. That's me. My bad. And the Blue Star Network had some issues that were hilarious. And then we also got John Harbaugh talking about getting stuck in an elevator. Jim Harbaugh. Ah. It was here.

It was too long to play. Yeah. It's too long to play, but it's awesome. Dan didn't get to hear it. So I'd like to do that tomorrow. Are you going to remember? Yes. I think.

Maybe. In 2022, Dan wanted to be a guy with an architect, and I think you made that happen. I wanted to do what? You wanted to be a guy who had an architect. Who hadn't? I do. Yeah. I have an architect. Congrats.

That's awesome. I got a hard architect. Yeah. Do a whole lot of architecting, but. Well, I haven't had her do anything yet. Yeah. We just, I like having her come over and make plans. In 2021, Dan farted and stopped down the news.

And you were in a bad farting era during that time. He was. He was, like, hiking his leg up a lot, directing it towards me. It was right after I had gotten the hosting job, too. Like the whole first year, he was like, let it be known who's in charge here. Yeah. And, like, I kind of already knew, but he needed to drive it home by farting at me. And it was always during the news, too.

Your segment. Oh, it's just because it's the way it works out when I eat. I'm like, I don't know. It feels like it's just exactly when I start to. talking you fart at me i don't know why i wrote this in the notes but it says that dan lifted his leg to fart he did he did there was intentionality to it so this had happened over the weekend and i think it just made it to our show um but this back from 2021 we replayed this a hundred times.

Cowboys have another game with Houston tomorrow night and they are recommending you wear a mask. What do you think the over-under is on that? I'll bet the under. This pre-season game

used to be the dress rehearsal game started to play at least a half, maybe more, but they don't do that anymore either. Some, excuse me, this game would be. Dude, I remember when the first time I heard this,

the first time I ever heard this, or listener being like, you've got to rewind it, pulling it up, roll, roll. Half, maybe more. But they don't do that anymore either. I love Dale to death. We all know he's one of the best to ever do it. But he's really leaning into the sanctimonious tone because he's hitting you on. They shouldn't even be playing the games.

Nobody's going to wear a mask. He's mad about that. But then he pivots right into being mad that the starters don't play anymore. Those are basically the same issue, people not masking, and Dax's not even going to see the field. And it's so funny, it's happened to us before, but when you're really on like a I'm holier than thou point, and that happens to you, it's so much funnier than if you're in the middle of just reading a straight news report. He's delivering it in the tone of, I am better than everyone. And by halfway through the clip, he's screaming for them to roll to just save it. back to the beginning

Cowboys have another game with Houston tomorrow night and they are recommending you wear a mask what do you think the over under is on that I'll bet the under this free season game

used to be the dress rehearsal game started to play at least a half maybe more but they don't do that anymore either some excuse me this game

this game will be that back. I had to. And then, okay, just a few things from 2020. On this day, Dan had his email locked because he didn't change his password in time. Those were the good old days. Dan wanted to create a new segment called Is Dan a bad person? We were watching the masks play the Clippers in the bubble.

And Dan said he didn't care about the political statements anymore during the game while the clippers were on a run. The bubble was weird, man. But yeah, when you were... Like, yeah, listen, you're down by 12 and they... I wanted to extend racism. Yeah, right. When they were kicking it out to, like, financial literacy for a corner three, now you're down 15, and then they spray it over to, you know, end...

Like, I'm not ending police violence now. Not after that. No. Not at all. So they had the virtual fans for the bubble And then wrestling thought that they would do it And this was the weekend where they had a KKK member Quickly got a guy in a Klan costume

On Zoom And then this is another story Where it was just like anything besides COVID deaths right A Georgia mom put a picture of her crying kid online And got mad that people were mean to him And so I found the picture it's a kid crying in front of his computer and she's sad

it said it broke my heart took the photo I called him over we sat on the ground we hugged and cried together I told him it's okay we'll get through this all because he was beginning his elementary school years at home and not at school with his friends that was

one of the more desperate mom attempts we've seen my kid was in first grade when COVID happened and she did not cry well then you couldn't get more followers by putting a picture of her so she screwed you on Twitter I think the first comment was would you rather send him to school and get COVID

yeah dude the pain you felt whenever I am a man would dunk one home for the clippers and all of a sudden group economics yeah that's right hitting from the nail Fuck this

Good? Born on the Stay Now Dead It's Strong Woman Day Naomi Fraley She was the inspiration For the World War II Rivie Excuse me

Born in the Stay Now Dead mother Teresa Kemp's man bro What's wrong with her? It depends But I personally Do not have like a favorable view of like the slash and burn sort of evangelism. So her bit where she would like go whisper into people's ears as they're dying,

like, you're saved, you're with me now. Oh, okay. Your soul is mine. But they didn't like, yeah, we don't, well, I'm, yeah. They weren't on board, yeah. She's a soul harvester. Okay. You're?

Basically, she's patting, she's patting empty stats, you know? DVOA doesn't love it. So how many sacks did you have in games? Right, yeah. Tell me all about it. And I think part of the deal, too, was like, because that's obviously kind of a joke, but there are actual allegations that she would, like, she would, like, withhold treatment from people and be like,

they're fine. They're dying. They're going with God. Because she wanted them to die because she wanted to, like, be like, like, that's a soul. There you go. Basically, a mass murderer.

We're thinking about it We're thinking about talking about it But if you got an accident You know what you could do Franklin and Franco all threes That's right 214 or 817 Dow all threes

They need this 333 area code So you already know that We've embedded that into your mind The only unfortunate thing is You have not gotten an accident You're healthy you look good you look like you have i did not get on a rick on the way here yeah that's unfortunate it's been it's been at least a year okay well someone ran a red light and hit me

i didn't know about the frankles then that would be a perfect thing that would be a perfect thing correct or like a tree falls on you retrace your steps of that day yeah tree falls 888 214s god i keep doing that 817 or 214 it's uh the frankles you'll talk to a partner you won't talk to some idiot like Blake you'll talk to somebody who matters like Jake the Jake of the Frankles you'll talk to and he matters

Blake's just going to put you on hold let me get my boss that's right anyway so thank you Frankl and Frankl and thank you Alec Fedro for your offer that we are talking about thinking about I have to thank Blake go on this is technically Blake

sit in for his own accumulating mechanical Yeah. Sale. I bought a new system through Community Mechanical, and I donated it to Alec here. To Alec Fedro? Yeah. I shamelessly asked.

I was like, hey, if no one's claimed, I'll claim. And he had a point. Yeah. Well, it's nice. I do the... So I bought a roof from Qualis. I wonder if I have one to donate as well. Can they just give you $690?

Because any time I've asked Blake if I could have a sit-in, he says no. Yeah, he's the gatekeeper. Yeah. Well, Qualis didn't send your name in. Okay. All right. Back to Alec. I do do the monthly Blake review, so I think we've missed the past couple of months.

I'll still send it to you. You know that these guys both have ripped me for that. The first one, I think I read too much of it, right? There's a lot. And I thought I've paired it down, but you're saying last month I paired it way out? Completely out, yes. I believe you sent it the day after we did the NBR, by the way, if you want to

I did, yes. I was not expecting you guys to actually be on time with your NBR. Got me out the first day. I was like, shit. Are we doing it next week, Blake? Yeah.

When's the first? The first day would be Tuesday. Tuesday, yeah. And then you're gone. Admittedly, it needs to be chopped down. I literally write down every time he speaks. Boy.

Were you jealous when you found out about the guy who went to every one of his softball games? No, I was like, amazing. That's awesome. That's dedication. Who's more impressive? This guy, the softball guy, or drop Beth?

Drop Beth. That's a tough. Who, like, will re-listen to the show. Tough act to follow, Beth. Actually, she's in my closing remark notes. You made her cry at the summer event pretty hard. Not her, her daughter. They had to walk off off to the side, and she had to calm her kid down.

Were you there? Yeah, sat right next to her. Let's just off to the left. Listen, you bring your family out to a dumb zone event. You know what you're going to get straight heat. You've got to warn the kid. You came for Kemp. I don't care.

You bring your big mom tits to the Kemp show. What you expect? She got the full show. She's the only one that cried. You stepdad, Tuts. Yeah. We got through it No, that was a great event

I haven't been to any summer bashes So I have nothing to compare to But that was awesome Why couldn't you have just left it That was a great event Yeah, probably if I went to something else I would think it sucked But I didn't

So it was fine Is that it? You said you had notes No, I've got notes, yeah I mean we can We ran through a couple of things Jason can get up your ass We're in closing remarks

Will you please ask Jared Sandler about could Corey Seeger move to first base? That's a thing I heard from Norm over the off season, and I was like, damn, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. I could solve a lot of problems. Because of Walcott or whatever? Yeah, because of Walcott coming up or Joss Smith, solve a problem, putting someone there, and then just disaster at first base. You could just Seeger's production solves that.

that's a good sports point you know uh Pedro emailed me the other day maybe we'll do this viewer mail Anna Kay and Pedro Pedro with like why don't they let DeGrom pitch the back half of games

and it was a very detailed breakdown and like obviously they'll never do this long-term reliever basically just like moving the leverage point of baseball pitchers the thing I was talking to you about all year of like getting back into baseball and then realizing

everything comes down to when you go to your relievers and how bad they suck. It's frustrating. Yeah. It's a good sports point. That is a good sports point. I really like Norm's point on that. I still kind of listen to his podcast.

You were just wondered. Yeah, exactly. I want a professional opinion. And he couldn't find one here. Yeah, it's very clearly the implication. Jared will help. It's hard. I have a kid on the way in February.

Okay. And I believe we've been told the gender this week. And so I have an absolutely absurd name to run by you. Alec, it seems like you would only deal in the absurd on this front. So what do you have? If you rate this a good rating, I'm judging all of your future ratings. The name my wife and I have landed on for a daughter is Clementine Liddell. boy it's right on the edge of showy i do like clementine because it's old right and lemon was the middle

was the nickname we'd come up with at a clementine lemon men lemon because what else what do you do can you be a you know how gross the idea of a girl named clem is yeah that sounds like a dude it's pretty showy what was the middle name ladle like chuck my yeah my iceman my grandmother on on my dad's side's middle name is Liddell. That's Reddell. Oh, damn. Chuck Liddell's a great pool. Listen, it's not, it's actually not awful.

I wouldn't do it because Clementine is a little too look at me, but also it's a pretty name and it's not like Clementine with T-Y-I-G-A, yeah. C-H-L-E-H-L-E. I think for you, it probably works. C-H-L-E-A-A-H-E-A, we're not doing normal things. Yeah, I wouldn't imagine so. That's actually not... I thought you were going to hit me with, like,

what's the Zappa Kids name? Moonbeam. Moon unit. Yeah. So that's not... Yeah, I'm proud of you. We were going to go with the... I think Kara was something that she had come up with,

and I was like, I have nothing. Give me a list. She gave me a list of like 20. For some reason, coming time was on there, and I was like, sure, why not that? That's good. And I guess my... but your wife had 20 different names that she would have been fine with she gave me a literal note

it's scrolled okay yeah there's a lot i guess she just can't make a choice and yeah that makes sense you got one other kid you said yeah i have an 11 year old not with my current wife dude you got started early yeah yeah i was 21 yeah that would be early i would call it that that's that was a stupid decision it's a planned decision it's stupid i think that makes it more stupid than an accident. Planned. Did you get a younger wife? No, my ex and my current

wife are both older than me. Okay. Well, you still got your third. Yeah, right. No, we'll find our Jordan. We're all looking for Jordan. 30 years from now. I've been filming a documentary I plan to release in 30 years

called Looking for Jordan, where I'm looking for my next wife. which it's just me going to hospitals right now so it's kind of weird just finding infants that look like they might have good skin later i'm just really more interviewing uh nurses that's fair yeah that's fair does billy have anything oh okay grab a mic for having me in the den i do have something for the show for the den or for the

studio, the Game Day Men's Health Studio? Yeah, Game Day Men's Health Studio. Or you can get 10% off TRT for life if you mention the Dumb Zone? Yeah, I do live auctions for records and so I come across a lot of records at my time and as soon as I saw this one. Do the auctioneer thing.

Yeah. No, I'm terrible at the auctioneer thing, but I do it's a live auction format called What Not. And And so as I come wrong, and I find a lot of different records. You think this is one that the Dumb Zone would like? I think this is something that you would need in your... Well, I don't know what it is, so I will open it and let you guys see it.

What do we got? There you go. Air Force Live. What is this? Is there a band called Air Force? Oh, wow. And we've got... Air Force One.

It's Air Force's one live album. I've heard you'd appreciate it. that there was something called air fire slive so it wasn't just me and now you're in possession of it yeah they've got other LPs out there too

if I come across one I'll send it your way okay I thought you might like that what did this cost you a pretty penny what's the damage oh man you know hundreds of dollars it's no telling what's worth it was a Canadian sketch comedy series

what year 1987 damn It preceded Air Force One. So that wasn't... I thought I invented Air Force One. Oh, there you go. That's it.

But thanks, Blake. Thanks, guys, for having me out, and I definitely appreciate it. Are you buddies with Alec? No. No, actually, I was trying to do the... I was trying to do the show of favor and get you all a space in Denver for your podcast location whenever you go visit. I'm actually from Denver. I was raised here but live there now

and I had a buddy that has a really nice spot in downtown Denver to... What's that called? It's called the wind coop. Is that the one we looked at both of those? Oh, okay. But yeah, I guess we had already said yes to somebody else. Yeah, so I've just been in contact with Blake.

I'm here to help my mom out and so I asked for some prayer requests and he kind of went from there and so here I am today. So I absolutely appreciate it. all right how is that moving to denver bro fantastic fantastic i've been there for 12 years it's like sand like sands all over the beach yeah just wherever you want to go it's great weather it's perfect really it's absolutely perfect i mean it gets hot but the dryness i'll take i'll take colorado summers i'll take colorado winters over texas any day of the week did you have to adjust to the altitude it took a little bit of time three months i'm a larger man so it's probably
