Oh my, what a bargain. Now, on to today's program. My Dumbs, my Dumbs, my Dumbs. Oh, this is a good kick by the rookie free agent from Oregon. Back to Kirkus at the 23, up quickly to the 30, left across the 35, by the rookie free agent from Oregon. Back to Kirkus at the 23. Up quickly to the 30. Left across the 35 to the 40. Really good return.

A 56-yard punt by Pelescu. All right, all right, all right, all right, all right. All right, all right, all right, all right, all right. Remember that? Opening. Thank you for opening the show with Brad's favorite drop. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we've... Most of them are actually during the commercial breaks

where we have the fun stuff that people don't hear it, but thank you for bringing back that fun memory. Well, if any engineers want to send us some secret audio, we are open for business in that regard. I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jake Kemp. I'm Blake Jones. I'm Christy Scales.

How's everybody? A natural, folks. Seamless. That's right. People have been wondering, are you going to add to your show over the years? And yeah, we'd like to make a major announcement that joining us full time. Not a DEI hire, as people will say. Thank you, Jake. Anytime you hire a female. I joining us full time. Not a DEI hire, as people will say.

Thank you, Jake. Anytime you hire a female. I mean, you did claim ahead of time, I will hire a female. No, I think you're thinking of the president. Oh, wait, that was Biden

that did that. Yeah. Eh, whatever. That's kind of what we talk about here, Christy. Mixing in a little politics and DEI. Mostly politics. Yeah.

All politics. Break it down. Awesome. Kneeling, standing. What do you think of the RV? Actually, this is really nice. It is a great setup. And I know that on the cameras, your viewers can see a lot of the setup.

But, no, it really is. It's very nice. So this was a viewer, a friend that loaned you this, and you drove it out here in two and a half days? Yeah, so a guy who listens, he has a friend. I believe he has an RV company that we will mention at some point, but I don't have the name of it on the tip of my tongue. And then he specifically, the listener, has driven an RV many, many times, and he's got a self-employment situation, and he's like, I'll drive you guys. That's fantastic.

He drove us out here. He's also a meal prep guy and a great on the grill. He's like the best housemate you could ever have. Yeah. So he made food for the week. I don't hear a peep out of him. We're sharing a bathroom, and I never know when he's in there or not. It all smells great.

The only thing that's a little bit weird about it is since he leaves when we do the show, and he is a listener, like last night I went out there to get a little bit of food and some water, and I could tell he was listening to us. Yeah. Like in his earbuds, he was listening to that day's show. And then I'm kind of like, oh, excuse me, can I get a fork? He's shaking his head. It's just weird that he's i'm hearing my voice from his headphones at the same time that i am but he seemed to have i always listen to old tapes of youtube but i keep it low so you can't hear it through my headphones that's i like to just listen to jake and that's

smart think about jake i have a little Jake puppet. Anyway, we are broadcasting live. We're live streaming today. How about that, guys? Live streaming from the RV at Cowboys Training Camp, the RV that we drove across the nation. I appear to be frozen. You might be frozen. Not the best look for me to freeze on.

Now are you a – Yeah, it looks very good. It looks like those weightlifters I was watching last night in the Olympics. They were doing that. Did y'all see any of that? I did not watch yet. I watched some swimming yesterday. They're doing the snatch.

What is that? I don't know. That sounds pretty dirty. Do you never, like, giggled at that in high school sports or anything? Like, when the coach is like, I'm giggling at it now. I don't know that Dan, were you ever in the weight room, Dan? Whoa. Jesus.

No. He will be now. It's like the one where the barbell's on the ground, and you throw it up to the top of your head while also supporting yourself with your glutes. Okay. And they call that the snatch.

Yes. Yeah. Because you're squatting down and then you lift it over your head and you have to stand up. Yeah. And it's very difficult. Yes. Okay.

So it's for that act, not for what you might score for doing that. I think that's the after hours NBC coverage. Okay. The overnight coverage okay so yeah we're live on the rv and we didn't properly introduce our guest christy scales she's been roaming the d Dallas Cowboys sideline for 25 years, providing exclusive information for the team's radio broadcast. She's produced three Super Bowl broadcasts and was the first female to ever serve in the role of analyst during an NFL broadcast.

She loves Disney World, and she's outlasted Rich Dalrymple and Roosevelt. Christy Scales, Texas A&M. Whoop. Let me give a whoop for that. Thank you. What a wonderful introduction. Yeah.

Wow. You nailed it. You totally nailed it, actually. Pretty much sums up my whole career. You nailed it. You totally nailed it, actually. Pretty much sums up my whole career. The funny thing about the analyst deal, that was a preseason game back in, oh, gosh.

I'd be able to tell you if I snuck a peek. It was over like probably 23 years. It might have been 02 because it was at Carolina. And with the preseason game, Babe Laufenberg would do the preseason broadcasts on TV on CBS 11, right? He was anchoring at CBS 11. Love the Blue Star Network. The Blue Star Network, that's right. So Ron Chapman at KVIL, the radio legend, Rob knows well. Anyway, everybody, he's the one that hired me back at KVIL in 1989.

Anyway, he said, well, let's move Christy from the sideline to the booth for this final preseason game. And I have extensive notes anyway, but moving up to the booth, it's like, oh, gosh, you're so overprepared. And you go from the booth maybe about 10 minutes before kickoff. So we go into our first break. They play the national anthem. We come out of the break. Literally, the teams are lining up for the opening kickoff, and this thunderstorm begins, and they clear the field and the stands,

and it was, I can tell you exactly how long the delay was, 42 minutes. So the nerves are just... Well, no, we had taken all of our pregame commercial breaks. So the next ones aren't until endgame. Well, sponsors who buy endgame breaks, you pay more for endgame than pregame or postgame, they need to be in the game. So I'm looking, and our producer, Danny Miles, has given me this.

It means stretch he's pulling his fingers apart like taffy and it's like uh it's like stretch stretch it's like okay so all my notes that you know i'm like going through you know carolina's third team depth chart all this kind of stuff and i look up and brad sham has taken off his his headphones and has left the booth. And Danny's giving me the stretch sign. And it's like, that's when there was a little bit of panic setting in. But our radio booth there at Bank of America Stadium in Carolina was next to the coaches' deal.

So Brad had gone next door to the Cowboys' coaches' booth and brought over Clancy Pendergast, who was the secondary coach, assistant secondary coach. And poor Clancy, we must have interviewed him for 17 minutes. I was going to say, that's pretty good. But I really don't remember anything that happened in the game. Yeah, I don't remember anything that happened in the game. But I can tell you about the lightning delay. And it's like, man, you're always like over prepared. And it's like, man, you're always, like, overprepared.

And it's like, man, you never get to the good stuff. Well, that one, we were through the good stuff before the game even kicked off. Did you feel the hurricane, or excuse me, the earthquake the other night? No, because we were at Nobu. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and Malibu. And it's interesting. Did y'all get the alert here in Ventura County on your phones? It's like an Amber alert.

No, Blake was at the party, and he said that everybody's phone was going off. Dan and I were at home. I turn off the Amber Alerts on my phone. That's terrible, Dan. Why? I've been woken up at 10 p.m. for something in Houston. What am I going to do? They could have made it from Houston to Dallas.

I'm going to mediate this middle ground. I'm with Dan in the sense that I don't need to know if a kid got kidnapped in El Paso. I don't live in an isolated neighborhood. I want to leave the alerts on, but I want it to have about a 100-mile radius. I see. Same thing for weather. They don't buzz me when they're like, sandstorm in Lubbock. People have cars and they can drive from Houston or El Paso.

You don't know that. I don't know people have cars that can drive from El Paso or Houston to Dallas. I need to see the evidence in front of my face. In Ventura though, I think it was a 5.1. Dan and I were looking at each other and we're both kind of shaking back and forth and I'm like this is actually happening.

The people here that were back here at camp in Ventura got the alert, but those of us that were down in Malibu, I guess because we were in Malibu County, we didn't get the alert, so I didn't know about the earthquake until the next day. That's how the Amber Alert should be. See? Yeah, we've just proven the point. It's too late to help the child.

What about Silver Alerts? Yeah, I'm very confused by them. I have a theory, though. Okay. Do you qualify, video man? I got silver hair. Yeah. Oh, that doesn't count.

Yeah, but he never gets lost. He's in shape. My theory is that they're somewhere. This is a little bit outside of the box, Christy. There's a place somewhere where all of the people who had silver alerts have gone and gathered. And they're living out the last years of their life happily together. That they never found?

But they want to go. And they just want to be with other people. Yes. Who are... Like an elephant going into the woods. Yeah, sure. To die. Well, not to die.

To enjoy the last years of your life. Because there's a different one every day. Yeah. So clearly they all have this plan and they're not telling us about it. Right. Like we'll learn when we turn like, you turn 80 and they tell you. Yeah. That's like a secret thing.

Catch a cab. That's where Biden's been. Oh my gosh. I haven't seen him in a while either. I haven't seen Trump either though. Okay. Do you enjoy this playing out like at a completely at the vice president level, Dan? What's that?

I mean, you know, there's arguments that who the president is doesn't matter that much. Just due to an overarching bent of policy. But the vice president definitely is not that big of a deal outside of the election. And now we have to listen to these two battling each other. Eh, you know. It's a fun new season, I guess, battling each other uh you know it's a fun new season i guess in the show yeah you do need a storyline to the midpoint of the season before you get to the finale the election sure so you get to stay i don't know if get to is the word but you do stay at the um same facility where the cowboys players stay. Correct, yes. Like, do you have actual Cowboy players in your... My building, I'm a couple...

Separate little condos or something, right? Yes, yes. Which each have four... It's like an extended stay hotel. It's set up like an apartment complex. And so, not in my building this year, or the last couple years. Just across, maybe like 30 or 40 yards away from where the players are.

Do you bring your own blanket or pillow? Oh, gosh, no. No. No, I like the clean sheets. Me neither. I mean, wouldn't that be weird? I bring my own blanket. And pillow.

And binky. Well, I brought my pillow because we were on the RV, and it's like, okay, I can bring anything I want. I am impressed with this RV because when Dan said, you know, we're doing it from the RV, I just had these scenes of Breaking Bad in my head and I wasn't sure walking into the RV what to think. Don't go in the back then.

That's where all the good, the blue gets made. But we are staying at an Airbnb and I must say, I did a great job of getting the Airbnb. Yeah, that's fine. I'll clap it out. Good job. Are you near the beach or what? It's a little under two miles.

Okay. So Matt ran it this morning. Or walked it, maybe. Rob walked it. Rob walked it. I think Matt walked it yesterday, yeah. Half hour. If Rob walked it in a half hour, it'll take me 45 to an hour to get there.

How many times have you been to the rudder room in two nights? None, because it's up here, right? Well, Oxnard, yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's at least 20 minutes. He doesn't really go out. But I'll tell you where we've been two nights in a row. Okay. Spencer McKenzie's.

Oh, okay. You ever been there? No, I have not. Oh, my God. You've been coming out here for 20 years. Well, you know what? Maybe not in the last several years. Oh, now you're trying to backtrack.

No, no, no. I'm just trying to think. This is typical Cowboys media. Typical Cowboys media. Trying to avoid. We eat free. We eat free here on the premises. That's true.

So, you know, you don't have to spend your own money. Yeah. You've got to go at least once. It's worth it. But I just wanted to say. Yeah, but see, I spend all day with those people. With who? What?

Different media folks. Yeah, but I'm saying go to Spencer McKenzie's at least once. Oh, yeah. By yourself. But I see them all. I go by myself. That'd be good. Maybe.

Are you saying that spending a lot of time around people that you're working with will occasionally become great? Do you start rubbing off on other people? No, I mean, that is the good thing about the hotel room. Yeah. Because you can go escape to yourself, and you are just by yourself. But even last night, I wanted to hole up in the room for a little while, but you got to go down and get a water, and now you –

it's just kind of a weird – It's weird if you make it. But we're not a bunch of guys who are going to say hi all the time to each other. No, I mean, I got in bed at 8, 7.50 last night, and when I went out there, I think one time I ran into Blake, one time I ran into Matt. Neither time was a single word exchanged. Yeah.

It's like we all realize. And I feel like we get more dumb this way. Oh, maybe. Didn't work out out front today. But I have not. I noticed. Thank you. Jake woke up Blake because he was working out.

He was slamming his kettlebells on the concrete. You notice she didn't ask Jake if he worked out. She's like, oh yeah, clearly. There's no slamming at all. I just set them down and it was way late. It was... Is it weird? Did you bring your kettlebells across the country or your pillow? I guess

if it's in an RV, it's not weird. But if you tried to do it on the plane, that would be a little weird yeah it would probably cost you also yes i think you would go over the weight limit but i don't know how much jake can live so he may not be over the limit he may be she had to even it out on the shots at us yeah i just i think that you know it may be passable did not have to pay the extra $50. I just wanted to point out the vacation rental, the Airbnb, is so nice. It's very clean. I even found they have a stack of new sponges in the back closet.

Yeah, so yesterday, Christy, Dan was very upset because, and this is actually a two-pronged thing here. Are you hand-washing all of the dishes? I hand-washed all my dishes when I got there, and then I've now been loading the dishwasher. Okay. I've loaded it up. You wash them before you use them just to make sure they were properly clean to your standards. No, no, no.

The dishes I had brought on the road. Oh, I see. Okay, I'm sorry. I thought you meant that existed at the Airbnb. That wouldn't have been out of the question. That is not out of the question. Yeah. And so yesterday we're standing there and we have four or five dishes in there. And he's like, man, I wish I had my own sponge. And this had never occurred to me.

The idea that you can't use somebody else's dish cleaning sponge. How do you fall on that, Christy? Well, actually, I think it was Jay Leno or there was one of these late night people and they were reading some of the different facts. Researchers Today reported that. Doing Jay Leno voice? Researchers Today reported.

Let me just pull my chin out further and see if that makes it. Kev, you see this? You hear about this? Yeah. And so that the dirtiest thing in a house is

actually the sponge. Yes. I've gotten a lot of support. Oh, now we're echoing. There we go. That's just me when I really want to project. I wanted to hear you twice. He has the ability to do that. So you got validation, you're saying? Yes. On the sponge. Some people said put it in the microwave.

Yes, that you can actually clean the sponge that way. Huh. That's a good trick. But, yeah, I thought getting a brand new one is the best way. And apparently they were stocked. Because those are factory clean. But they do have fun little sayings all around the house. Yep, this is a big deal.

Maybe I need to give these pictures to Rob. We'll do this again. But when you walk in the door, little foot mat, what do you call it? A door mat? A door mat. The mat for your feet behind the door. I'm so glad Christy got to experience that.

What's it say? Let me put on my glasses. Wipe your paws. That's right. Love that. What's it say? Let me put on my glasses. Wipe your paws. That's right. Love that. So they must have an animal. Here's one written over a fishtail.

It says, I followed my heart and it led me to the ocean. And that's because we're right by the ocean. And then when I walked into my bedroom, they have a little chair there with a little pillow on it, and it says, naps fix everything. Love that. So, yes, I just nodded and said, you know what? I might just try to grab one right now. Very popular in the Airbnb near

a lake or an ocean game. Definitely very popular at the lake house, as I've told you. And we probably have a couple of these, but I'm on lake time. You know, that's a big one you'll see. We probably have one in Granbury. Typically, there's one that's like semi-related to wine. Like a wooden sign that says something about wine in the lake.

That's not uncommon. People like these signs. Live, love, laugh. May I share one that my sister texted me the other day? This is not on a doormat. She shares you inspirational. Well, actually, this is the most practical advice. And I hope that every man over 50 takes this to heart because it says, men, if you are over 50, leave the young girls alone and find a woman who

understand men. If you are over 50, leave the young girls alone and find a woman who understands the signs of a stroke. All right. Yeah, that is very practical. I was going to show you one more picture. Please. And then I got something else for you. Yeah, let's go. Because this was like something mailed to us.

And then we think an animal. What kind of an animal do you think would have opened that? Oh, gosh. What kind of? A honey badger? I was thinking it looks like an ape. It could have been. Something with claws.

Yeah, that's pretty terrible. Oh, my gosh. Maybe a raptor. Do you think a human could have opened that? Love the raptor, baby. Actually, we have found the culprit. Jake is holding the culprit that opened the Raptor's moose. That's the way Jake opens a package.

So was that in the package, this, may I see? Oh, that's a dumb zone moose. We don't need to give you the whole backstory. So this was not in the package then. I was going to say because it may have fought its way out of the package. Okay, pro or con moosing? Oh, pro, for sure. Okay, good.

For sure. I just don't. Wait a minute, I don't know the story. Oh, okay. Good. I just don't. Wait a minute. I don't know the story. Don't worry about it. So I can't endorse. You don't want to know this. I open things the quickest way I can.

I find the seam and I just pull it apart. And I think Rob was standing there with a knife. Yeah. And then Blake decided to put it on the internet. That's the difference between an engineer. That's right. And not an engineer. You know that I'm married to a radio engineer.

Oh, is that right? Not Rob. I did learn that. did learn that yeah yeah what's his bit where does he work oh he was in charge of uh iheart for how many years rob 25 yeah yeah about 28 years and but we worked together at kvil so we were back then it was Infinity Radio before CBS. So yeah, we met in radio. And we understand that you are married for many years? Yep.

Just had our 30th wedding anniversary in May. Heck yeah. To an engineer. You would think that some of that knowledge would rub off

stuff, but I'm still technically disinclined. You have no kids. No kids. Yet, you go to Disney World a lot. Yes.

And Lewis and I, my husband and I, would always joke that Disney World, Disneyland, whatever, is the best in... Preventing you to want to have kids? Yes. I knew exactly where you were headed. Yes. Because the kids are great until about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and then it's whine, whine, whine.

Are you like fun aunt? I am the fun aunt. Let's see. We've got eight nieces and nephews. Nice. And now they have their own kids. Wow. And so we've got six.

Your fun great aunt. We've got six. Yeah, great. Oh, eight. Eight, yep. Eight. Yep. Wow. So it was fun because, like, my great nieces came down from Ohio for the youth camps this summer.

You know, like with the cheerleaders and the nine-year-old. She has as much dance ability as I. And so she actually played flag football. This was in, like, Frisco? Yes. Okay. And it was really fun. Cool. It's great. They was in, like, Frisco? Yes. Okay. And it was really fun. Cool.

It's great. They do a lot of cool stuff for the kids. Cool. So we do have other debates. So the sponge debate is one of them. Do you have our practice audio prepared from yesterday? Okay. And we're going to play you some of the stuff.

So we've been going out to practice and asking some of the players to help with our debates. So the sponge thing is one of them. Like, I think you should use your own sponge. I don't want to share somebody's sponge. I would share these guys' sponge. I agree with that, by the way. Okay, thank you. I agree with you.

But in a rental house that a million people have used that sponge, I want my own sponge. Yes. house that a million people have used that sponge, I want my own sponge. Yes. Like, when I go in a hotel in the shower, if there was like a bar of soap that had been used. No way. Why would I ever use it? But I'm sure this guy would be like, what?

You just wash it. It's clean. It's soap. I would never think twice about it. Okay. The sponge, the anything. Disgusting. There's nothing worse than a bar of soap.

The thing is. Someone else is using like a hair on it. Like performative is not really. Yeah. I mean brush yeah i mean i would use his toothbrush the other day oh that is unforgivable that actually happened to me once with my cousin can i oh okay here's a trip together i did make a mistake we have the same toothbrush and we were rooming together oh okay so it wasn't intentional but i did i, I'm going to present the full case. I did not. I used his, which was apparently on the right when mine was on the left,

and then I'm putting my toothbrush back, and I'm like, oh, there's already one there. This must be Blake's. I tried to dry it off, which means I tried to cover it up. This is true. And then I still put it back on the left, which is how he found out. I did order him a new toothbrush head because it's an electric toothbrush. Isn't that nice? Oh, it's an electric.

Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah, this isn't like a cheap thing where you can run down to Dollar Tree and get a new set of toothbrushes. I had it shipped to the house. Okay. And he still complains about it, which. He did try to cover it up.

I did try to cover it up. He could have gone to the dollar store and gotten a non-fancy one. We were currently at a casino. Yeah. They didn't have any toothbrushes. Pretty beaten casino too, Christy. Okay. It was not good.

That's scary. Yeah, there were some scary moments. Thank you for providing context. Yes. We're trying to move past it. But the soap thing, no, it would never. And here's the deal. I think that germs are so ubiquitous and pervasive

that nothing that you're doing to make you feel better is in it may be like very marginally increasing your chances of being healthy or safe from germs i don't think it makes a difference i think they're everywhere you're probably right but i don't want to know that i want to think that when i rinse out my recycling materials and put them in a bag, that that's actually helping save the earth, even though I know that there's a 5% chance that it is. And the same with everything else that I waste my time with. So yesterday afternoon, we ran into, what did we do yesterday? DeMarvian Overshawn.

Oh, he's great. Looking for a big year. Yeah. Okay, so. He's going to play a lot this year, right? Oh, yes. I would think so. Yeah, if he stays healthy, definitely. Okay, he's great. Looking for a big year. Yeah. Okay, so... He's going to play a lot this year, right? Oh, yes. I would think so. Yeah, if he stays healthy,

definitely. Okay, well, let's... Agent Zero. Let's take a listen to some of that. A listen slash look on the World Wide Web today. We are live streaming

on YouTube. Wow. I didn't know that. So, we are coming to you today. We have a little game. It's called, like, Settle This or Pro or Con. It's things that he and I, our producer, disagree about.

We're asking Cowboy Players to sort of settle it for us. Okay. So I'll run through these real quick. When parking, where do you fall on back-in parking? Do you back in or do you pull in straight? What's your move? I'm a back-in-the-end type of guy. You know.

I feel safer doing it that way, then i always think like if a certain event happened like i can get out that's what he says yeah but then i have to wait on you to get home quicker you gotta take forever and it's just that's look usually the people that's been doing like they've been backing up into every parking spot like they they do it for they do it for everything so i'm i'm pretty quick with it. All right, pause. This is a big debate. Dan backs in everywhere he goes. What about you?

There's no debate at all. You back in when you need to, especially if it's like a concert or someplace busy so that you can get straight out and not have to wait for people to pass by so that you can get out. And it's safer to pull out forward than to back out. You know what? Safety is the first key to fun. Do you consider the fact that when you're backing in, typically you're making things a lot longer and, you know,

time-consuming for everyone around you who's trying to get past you? Are you that bad at backing in that you... Boy, don't use that as a drop. That you have to hold up the 15 people behind you in line? I've had to wait on him. He's supposedly all pro, and I've had to wait on him like five times. Yeah. I am aware if there are a lot of people behind me, obviously I won't do it.

Obviously, Dan. Yeah. Okay. But she's not as... The world doesn't revolve around her like it does me. So let me ask you this. If you're turning in forward into a parking spot and the space in front of it is open, do you pull through so that you can get out quickly? Yeah, I will pull through. So you do that, but you want back in to get out.

The main reason is I'm terrible at driving. And when I pull forward and get out, I'm like, oh, damn, I'm over the line. I'm like, I can't tell. Really? But the back end camera

has those two lines. It gets me straight in there every time, man. I think he's changing his story. Yeah, no, I mean, the defense, he's fired his former legal team and

has a new approach. I thought we were doing a cowboy on the hill. I want to get her thoughts on each one of them. All right. Plus, you got the backup camera now. This one she's probably not going to have much on.

See, these guys are like, they say, okay, boomer, if I do it. When you're at home, you have to go to the bathroom, number one. Do you ever sit down to pee at home? No. I mean, if I'm expecting to do number two, and, like, number one, do you ever sit down to pee at home? No. I mean, if I'm expecting to do number two, I do. I do it every time. Only if I'm expecting number two. That's a bad answer, though.

Only if I'm expecting number two. Yes, we all would expect you to sit down to go to the bathroom if you're expecting. We don't think we're going to start that standing up. Well, now you say that. Yeah, I think I'm expecting to go number two. You say that. We don't think we're going to start that standing up. Well, now you say that. Yeah, I think I'm expecting to go number two. You say that. Why don't I just start up here?

He phrased it a little bit perhaps differently, but you did go into the RV bathroom the other day. I know. I wasn't expecting to. To do a sit-down number one, and then things happened. Something can happen. Do you think it's weird? I sit down to pee every time.

Is that weird for a guy? I wouldn't know. Right, back in the day of. Well, you can still judge if you want. But back in the era when I wasn't enlightened and I would stand and pee every time because I thought that's what men should do. Yeah, like a savage. Right. I remember the argument with the lady would be.

Put down the seat. Put the seat down. I remember the argument with the lady would be the seat down. Because she'd be like, oh, I went in there late at night and then just sat down on the cold big thing. I'm like, well, what if I said you should be polite to me and put the seat up? Like, why is it incumbent upon me to always be going the extra mile for you? You think it'd be fun to be married? All society is doing, Christy, is catering to women over and over. Exactly.

That's the way it should be. Remember when the white man used to kind of hold some position of power? Yeah. Now we don't. Now we're running. Women are running for president. I've heard they can run companies. This is ridiculous. Some of them even have like checking accounts.

Wow. It's crazy. Unbelievable. I think if it were up to you guys, we'd be back in like Handmaid's Tale. Well, that's the future. If you watch, yeah, we're headed that direction. Don't get out in November.

But, no, actually, that's one of the things. We are getting political. That's one of the things in Handmaid's Tale, as you go through the seasons, when it gets further into the seasons, it actually has flashbacks to how America got to the point that it is now in the Handmaid's Tale. And the first thing that they did did one of the first things that happened was they took away the um checking accounts or they wouldn't let women handle their own money i remember being blown away when i learned that i can't recall if it was checking

accounts or credit cards that in most states and it might have been a federal law that women couldn't get a checking account or a credit card account until like 1970. Yeah, without a man on that. Yeah. So if you're a single person. Like watching Mad Men, the what's-her-name, Betty was going to a psychiatrist, right? Yeah, they would share all the.

And he would go talk to the husband about everything she said. It's insane. You know, I would like to make the nation great like that. I mean, why not? I skipped out on Handmaid's Tale because my wife and I were doing the whole fertility thing. And it just seemed too...

First two seasons I watched, it was good. What's up next for O? You don't have kids, do you? Yeah, I got one. How old? He's one. He actually beat two in September. I sit down for number one, for sure. And a big reason I sit down for number one is I just want to hide from,

I have a five and almost two-year-old. Okay. I'm just like, you'll get there. Yeah, yeah. Do you take baths? When I'm really sore, I put some Epsom salt in there. But other than that, like, other than that, like, I'm showering dang near three times a day. I'm a big bath guy.

I mean, workout, practice. They don't want to just, like, you know, maybe get some music, a little bubble. Look, I done seen too many movies of listening to music and fall asleep. Next thing you know, the radio in with you. And then I'm a big guy so like most of the time next thing you know like my legs all crumbled together and i'm like yeah that don't give you a shower follow-up then uh washcloth or no i like the uh the spongy thing yeah the loofahs yeah yeah and then do we hit the whole body or just the hot spots i like to i like to hit the

whole body but because you're a civilized human yeah but uh the the main spots are getting the most attention but i'm gonna i'm gonna you know wipe my leg my feet yeah real quick but these areas right here they're getting a lot of attention okay do you because i believe in the trickle down method he just washes his head you can kind of do the head and it'll all just trickle down and kind of wash the rest of you see i kind of judge it off for like okay how what all i do today did i sweat a lot today did i play in the dirt today yeah and usually when i use white dry off towels army man and so if i see too much like dirt on my my my dry off towel like okay i didn't screw up good enough. There you go. Do you believe in ghosts? You know,

I don't. Christy, do you believe in ghosts? No. No? But I don't want to say that out loud because I don't want one to haunt me tonight. Well, it sounds like you believe in them. We went on a ghost tour in Albuquerque the other day. You're an agnostic ghost. I'm an agnostic

ghost. There you go. I'm an atheist ghost. But it is times where I'm like, you know, I look in the corner real quick just to see if I didn't see nothing. But I don't, but I believe in like spirit. So is that the same? Kind of. Okay, well, you know, I guess I do that. A couple more quick ones here.

This one's kind of controversial. Let's say that I'm a big fan of hip-hop. I'm in my car, and I'm listening to a rap song. Where do you fall on whether or not I should be censoring myself when certain words come up? I should be or I shouldn't be? This is not going to be on the pregame show, I don't think. We'll see.

It might be my last one, but it could be fun. Yeah. You should definitely be careful I'm not saying like but if you're alone if you're alone if you're alone like I'm just gonna tell you I used to not I do now I'm a grown-up I've learned that this is probably not but it is I mean at the end of the day you you just got to look at yourself in the mirror like, man, did I mean it in that way? Let me be clear, I don't. Okay, okay. But me, like, we ride in the car together.

I might look at him like, you know. Yeah, no, no. It would never happen with you in the car. I promise. Let's just turn on some country music. Really, anyone in the car, right? What if he's with me? Are you allowed to? I'd say no.

I'd just generally go no. I think no, yeah. Like I said, just a couple more quick ones here. Because then I'm a witness. So let's stick with the race thing, to be honest. What do you consider white people like food, drink, condiments? Do you have anything that jumps out? Like the one I always think of is mayonnaise.

Mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is nasty. I'm not a mayo person, like, just in general. But, like, yeah, stereotypical, what would you say? If somebody said, hey, what do white people eat? I would say apple pie. You can use this, too, if you want. Okay.

Sweet tea. All right, so I'm going to close with this. Do you think Jerry Jones has ever, like, performed a rap verse? All right, well, I'm going to play you a video. This is from eight to ten years ago. Do you remember the Papa John's ad? Yeah. This is an ad for Papa John's.

What do you think? Hey, I ain't going to cap. He on it. Hey, he on beat. And a lot of rappers nowadays have trouble with that. You know, blue face in general. Okay, a little shot in there. But he's on beat, so good beat.

That settles it at the end. Yeah, that was pretty good. Have a great year, man. Yes, sir. Stay healthy, bro. Thanks a lot. Yes, sir. Y'all have was pretty good. Have a great year, man. Yes, sir. Stay healthy, brother. Thank y'all. Thanks a lot. Yes, sir. Y'all have a good one.

Appreciate you. Yes, sir. It's our new friend. He's great, isn't he? Yes. He was really cool. Yeah. And he did that after he'd already done 15 other minutes of post-practice stuff.

And I'm like, man, he's not going to want to deal with us. But he was cool. Well, I'm just glad he survived the hard-hitting football questions. That's right. That's your job. That's your job. I sat down. I'm the dumbest person because I brought my notebook just in case anything football came up so I can cheat and go through my notes.

You sat down and you brought this really well-organized notebook. I love it. Man, I am a big fan of Christy Scales and that notebook. Thank you so much. Look at color-coded. This is what I have on the sideline. This is where I aspire to be. As you know, I feel that I'm unorganized because I have too many things.

And you have the roster in front of you, so if we need to. Well, in case I blank out on somebody. Oh, okay. So, yeah, if you wanted to ask about Jason Johnson. Yeah, he's a linebacker. How do you like what you've seen so far? Actually, he's getting second-team snaps. Okay.

And it's funny because they put him in the inside next to Buddy Johnson from Texas A&M, and you have Johnson and Johnson. So I see a new potential sponsorship there. How did you end up at A&M? Well, I only applied to two schools, to Baylor and to A&M. Okay. And where'd you grow up? Lake Highlands High School, but I'm originally from Galveston, Texas. Right. But I've been in Dallas since 77 or 78, since the middle of fifth grade. And I applied to those two schools. I had never been to the campus or to a game or anything like that and so the first game

i ever went to or first jail practice or summer orientation any of that was the fish camp you know it's the first time i'd ever done anything aggie wise so and then once you're you know once you're in the cult you're in it and it's yeah for Yeah, for sure. It was a great blessing. Were you a two-percenter? Never. Okay, you're hardcore. All the way. All the way, you bet. Yeah, so I'm class of 89, Texas A&M.

Michael Sartain, you know him? Texted me. Of course. Vegas Mike. He sent it to me, too. Oh, he did? He was trying to price out tickets for this year, and he was going to take his girlfriend and her family

to the A&M Texas game. Oh, yeah. Oh, he did? He was trying to price out tickets for this year, and he was going to take his girlfriend and her family to the A&M Texas game. Oh, yeah. Oh, my gosh. Right now, I think $5.50 each. Yeah. Oh, I thought it'd be higher. The rest of their games were like you could get in for $50, $60. Well, they've got Notre Dame.

I mean, it's a good schedule this year. But what do you guys think about maybe bringing back Bonfire? That's one thing they've talked about. Were they going to do it off campus? Yeah, off campus. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. Well, you know, they had done one off campus, but it never was obviously the same. Yeah, it's just, from a liability standpoint.

I'm all for it. Let's go. It's cool. You can see it from space. It is really cool. All that kind of stuff. And I'm like anti it. Let's go. It's cool. You can see it from space. It is really cool. All that kind of stuff. And I'm like anti-aggy, just so you know. But I do respect the fact that...

It is a bit ironic and funny that an engineering school, that they had the bonfire collapse, right? Yeah. Well, it's very sad. Yeah. Well, I guess you could throw in the word sad instead of funny. But certainly ironic. I just think about myself in college and everyone that I knew,

even the most brilliant people that I knew in college, and we were doing dumb stuff that was dangerous. And it just seems kind of like a bad idea, but maybe they could make alterations to it that would make it palatable for, one, safety, and, two, insurance. Yeah. It'd just be great if they could get A&M in Texas back on Thanksgiving. I know.

But now I don't know that they're going to do that. I would even take Friday. Yeah. But there's so – Saturday just feels – Back then it was so special. You know, you didn't have the – NFL, NFL.

You didn't have the – Right. You didn't have a third NFL game back then. It would be NFL, NFL back then. You also didn't have the oversaturation of the college games on Fridays, on Thursdays, and I don't mean Thanksgiving Thursday, but now almost every night of the week. What was your major? All evidence to the contrary. My major was speech communication, but I was going to teach school.

So I have a double minor in poli-sci and in education because you had to take a certain amount of hours, you know, to do your teacher certification. I did my student teaching. You majored in political science. Did you? Yeah, I did mine at Lake Highlands High School, my old high school, which was weird because it's three years after I graduated Lake Highlands. And now, like, I'm eating lunch in the teacher's lounge,

and they're, like, smoking cigarettes. And I'm like, oh, my gosh, I can't believe Ms. Williams smokes. Anyway, but, yeah that that was really weird but i interviewed for a part-time summer job as a promotions assistant at kvil radio and what's a promotions assistant in radio well it is like the entry level it's the kids out at the Plano Balloon Festival or at Mayfest handing out the bumper stickers, hanging the banners. Yeah, putting the tablecloth out. But back then, we had the fun and games department at KVIL, and it was outstanding, and there were always promotions going on.

So I thought I was going to do a part-time summer job, and that's been 30, well, 1989, 35 years. years wow yeah so so straight out of college straight out of college yeah because they started working there and you found yourself how'd you work your way onto the air well uh within a few weeks or actually at the interview is the way kamala got it where she is that's right hard work Hard work and determination. Oh, okay. And DEI. Girl, I'm out here in these streets. Yeah, that's it. That's it. Handing out bumper stickers.

And actually, the funniest thing that I ever did in promotions at KVIL was Ron Chapman, who did the morning show there for years, and Tricia Crisp. She ran the fun and games department. But they were brilliant at just getting people to talk about KVIL. Do we need a fun and games department? That would be great. I like it. We just need more departments.

Nah, I mean, he's great at a lot of things. Great at them. There's a lot of things. Fun and games ain't it. So Ron had the idea of to get people like talk to each other and mention kvil it was a thing called the kvi everything was kvil or something so the kvi helicopter the kvi elevan i like it the kvi elevator person maybe the kvi elephant so so if you were in your building and you were going up or down your elevator and you notice someone that you didn't recognize,

you say, are you the KVI elevator person? You would win $500. Genius. So I'm the KVI elevator person. And by like the third day, and I would like go to downtown Fort Worth and just go in and out of buildings and ride up and down elevators.

That's so cool. And I'm getting paid hourly to do this. And I'm like, this is great. But by the third day, I'm like bored. Did you get dizzy? Were you wearing KBIL gear? So what I did, what I did starting on the third day was I would write a note. Do you remember the war thing?

Kilroy was here. Someone would leave the little sketch. Kilroy was here. Rob's old enough that he does anyway so I would take post-it notes and leave a post-it note in the elevator and it would say the KVI elevator person was here and then they would call Ron Chapman and say the KVI elevator person was here send them back we'll be ready well you know they missed me but anyway but Ron loved that I got lots of lots of points with ron for coming up with that because then people would call it oh you know and so uh

anyway i think the fourth day finally someone asked me but uh it's because i did put on a kvi there you think there was the kilroy was here and uh i wore a kvil t-shirt and finally somebody asked me and i didn't have to ride up and down elevators anymore. That's genius. But to answer your question about getting on air was, I think it was when I first interviewed with Ron. But within a month I was, even though I had to be promotions assistant during the day or weekends or night if we had events or something, I was producing the afternoon show. Steve McCoy had been hired in 1988 or 89 and he was going to be the heir apparent to taking over the morning show for Ron. He was the number one guy in Atlanta mornings for years in radio.

And so I worked for him. And then Steve left. We got a Cat Simon did the afternoon. So I was his producer. And they really needed a producer for Cat. I love Cat he's a great guy and and we're still friends but Cat back in the 70s he did the evening shift at KVIL and made the mistake they were doing a car giveaway and Cat kind of got confused on it and accidentally gave away two cars and we had to buy a second car and give away a second car so they put me in with cat just to make sure he didn't accidentally give away two of everything especially a car that is an all-time great radio story it's absolutely true it is absolutely true was he just getting old um no

they put me in okay no cat had a good time in his youth anyway uh so so that's the cocaine error no i'm not i did not say no it was not that okay anyway i don't think that's when you make mistakes anyways oh yeah that's when you're on point yeah so i had been at kvil for about a year i was producing the afternoon show working as a promotions assistant. And then KVIL signed a contract with the new owner of the Dallas Cowboys. He had owned the Cowboys just for about a year or two then. Jerry Jones bought the team in 89. And KVIL became the flagship station of the Dallas Cowboys radio network. So the games were not only on that radio station,

but back then we had over 100 stations, coast coast border to border and two in hawaii two affiliates in hawaii but anyway i went from being the uh afternoon show producer well i still had to do it during the week but then i became the sports producer so we did the games on sundays and then on monday nights tuesday nights and wednesday nights we had cowboys talk shows so the monday night show players and coaches well the monday night show was – Players and coaches and stuff. Well, the Monday night show was the Jerry Jones show. That was at Dave & Buster's. Tuesday night was – well, it would be different restaurants.

One year it was at Bay Street Seafood. That was current players. And then Wednesday night was former players. And then let's see. What else? Oh, so I was the – on day, I was the booth producer. Back then, it was Brad Sham and Dale Hanson. Babe Laufenberg did our post-game and pre-game.

And after Dale left, it was Brad and Babe. And I moved from booth producer to sidelines in 1999. So this is my 26th season on the, 26th season on the sideline. Okay. Chan Gailey was the head coach back then. And how did they decide, how did you get that? Did you have to try out or was it just like you've been here and we lost a sideline or did they just add a sideline out of nowhere?

No, the guy who was, no, in 1991, we really did change sports radio. We were the first NFL broadcast to have a sideline reporter. Michael Ray was our first sideline reporter. He did it for eight years. Michael, during the week, was our KVI helicopter guy, the traffic guy. You know, LBJ Freeway westbound at Hillcrest. Left lane is tied up. Move over to the right.

So Michael did that during the week. And also it looks like Sherman Williams has a dislocated ankle. Yeah, dislocated ankle. Yeah. And so he did it for eight years. And then Michael took a job. Do you remember when Channel 8 and B-Lo, they started TXCN? Of course.

Which was kind of like a CNN for the state of Texas. Yeah, our good friend Bob Sturm was a staple on TXCN. So Michael went to be anchor at TXCN. And so that opened it and I had done on air a bit and because we had, um, we had Sunday morning talk show called staff meeting. So I had been on that for several years and then I would do some of the interviews that ran during our Cowboys pregame so I would do like a player interview I produced a show with Jason Garrett that we did a feature he was the backup quarterback and we had Troy in the final hour of pregame but when we added a third hour of pregame we were coming up with features and Jason was the backup quarterback, the Princeton guy.

And it's like, let's get Jason to break down the opposing defense. And so we did the scouting report. And he'd come in during his lunch break. We had our own little Cowboys radio studio out at Valley Ranch in Irving. And so that's how I got to know Jason so well and his wife, Brill. And so years later, when he's the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, it's all about relationships in the business. We're bad at that part.

Well, no, but really if you think about it, from the sideline reporter's perspective, it's the guys who are the equipment managers, who are the team athletic trainers, who are the team doctors. And we've all been there since the 90s, the early 90s, most of us. Even the doctor with the cowboy hat? What's him? Well, that's Dan Cooper.

And that actually is a shout-out to Dr. Evans, who had been the team doctor for many years after he had passed away. Okay, yes, I did. Good job. So that's why he did that. And also because Dan was starting to lose some hair up top, and his wife said, you have to wear a hat or something on the sideline because, you know, we're out there for, you know, six hours in the sun or cold.

That's the worst. The worst is the cold. It doesn't faze me at all. I do want to talk more about the cold, actually. It doesn't faze me at all because I grew up here. My stepdad wears a cowboy hat. I've been around cowboy hats all the time. It shocks him every time.

It's on an NFL field. It's an NFL field and you're a medical professional. And I'm going to say his wife works in healthcare and recently informed us that they still use leeches. Like if you have clotting. Yeah. You're aware of that? Yeah. Okay. Well well i'm always worried that

cowboy hat doctor thinks that that's something that we can still use like that he gives you a piece of leather yeah just a shot of whiskey and puts a leech on you and is like this is the way we did it where i when i came up oh i can't wait to see dan today and tell him about this conversation yeah the way they say i mean look he gets it gets it done. I'll ask him if he's ever used to leech on a Dallas Cowboy. How about that? I will report back to you. Troy gets a cut or something. He's rubbing dirt on it.

That's how you fix it. When's the last time you guys went to a barber shop that had a barber pole? I think ours has one, doesn't it? Yeah, probably a week ago. Yeah, he and I are hooked on a place in Grapevine. It's very old-timey. Does the barber pole have a red stripe as well as a blue and white stripe? That I don't know.

Yeah, you're asking lots of questions here. No, the reason why you would have a red is because, you know, the barbers back then, they would bleed you. People would believe that bleeding was a real thing, you know, a way to get... Interesting. So if you ever see... How do you have so much barber information? I guess watching Sweeney Todd. I don't know.

Okay. All right. When you don't have kids, you can learn a lot. Yeah. You don't have to waste your time with Lion King for the 99th time. You could do a lot worse than Lion King, bud. Oh, there's a new Lion King coming out, Blake. I know you'll be so happy about that.

I'll be there. Yeah. So are you also stoked on Disney movies? More the parks. More There is. Yeah. So are you also stoked on Disney movies? More the parks. More the parks, yeah. But, you know, like the ones from when we were kids, you know. The newer ones, the Pixar ones. They're great.

Well, for at least like the first few years, my daughter didn't watch anything made past 1970, Disney-wise. I mean, we were straight 101 Dalmatians, Lady and the Tramp. That's right. You used to always tell us about the disclaimer. Because they put a disclaimer up now. At the start of them, they're like, look, this was wrong then and it's wrong now.

Well, they took away Song of the South. You can't do that one anymore. Yeah. I mean, totally out of circulation. Yeah. They stopped doing that bit where the alligator would eat a kid, right? No, that was an isolated incident. Oh, okay. I thought that was like a thing.

Oh, my gosh. Wow. Well, Disney won't be sponsoring the dumb zone anytime soon. We're just having fun with Disney. Hey, before we talk about hard knocks in the back half, we can do it now. We can do Mama Home's thing. Do you think Jason Garrett gets a haircut every day whenever he was here?

It looked like it, didn't it? Never got longer. I thought of that when hard knocks. Hard knocks. Matt Eberfluss last night is getting the. Do you watch all the hard knocks? Did they show it? I hadn't seen the newest one.

I hadn't seen it. He goes in there, and his wife wanted him to grow a beard. It's cool and gray, but they do it perfectly every day. His haircut is perfectly manicured every day. And yes, Dan would always say, I think Jason Garrett is getting a haircut five times a week. Which would be the first thing I would do if I had the money.

And if you had a team barber. Yeah, they would have. We had a problem one time in Wichita Falls camp with the barber at Michael Irvin. I heard about that. I had a problem one time in Wichita Falls camp with the barber and Michael Irvin. I heard about that. Yeah, I don't want him. I would just wait my turn. But how is Iberflues coming off in the hard knocks? Because he's one of my favorite guys that's been with the Cowboys.

It's one episode, but pretty awesome. He's a great guy. There's about a four-minute scene with him and Saban because he played at Toledo when Saban was the coach there. So he brings Saban in and just the two of them talking is pretty cool. And his look. I mean, it's badass. He does look way better. He looks like a coach.

He looks like he's going to be a better coach. Like two years ago he was clean shaven and like his hair was kind of weird. He was dyeing it. Now he's not dyeing it. He has a cool gray beard. Yeah. I think he comes off pretty cool. Yeah, he was the linebackers coach for the Cowboys.

Yeah. And then got the chance to be the DC, the defensive coordinator with the Colts. That's right. And then got hired as head coach. But yeah, he's a super great guy. Did you think he didn't know what DC meant? Well, not everyone that's listening or watching on the live stream. Thank you for thinking of the entire audience for once. That's right. No one ever does that here. We do a podcast, Girls Talk, Boys Talk. And so it's girls talking about football. And so sometimes you just throw in just a couple of extra things. It's like when you say nickel defense or it comes in as the nickel defender.

And so you just might throw out an extra sentence or two when they take out a the third linebacker and bring in an extra defensive back with five five defensive backs making it a nickel and so it's a way to teach people about because you hear all of these i can learn stuff about the yeah football so here's the thing dan if you take out two linebackers if you take out two linebackers, if you take out two linebackers and now you have six defensive backs, what's that called? That's a six-tuplet. Well, that's the problem. A six.

You know, once you set the precedent with nickel, it's a bit of a continuity error to go to dime. It doesn't make sense. But two nickels equals a dime. So you have two extra defensive backs, so two nickels equals a dime. Okay. What's extra defensive backs, so two nickels equals a dime. Okay.

What's Bitcoin defense? Does that exist yet? Why, before we let you go, because I know we don't want to keep you in here all day, why are you a huge Ryan Sandberg fan? Because of watching the games on WGN starting in 1982. So that was – Okay, people either became Braves fans or Cubs fans back then. And we watched –

I was a Mark Grace guy for several years. Yeah, TBS was on before WGN, at least on our cable package. And so, yeah, Dale Murphy, Rennie Stennett, all those guys, sure, we would watch the Braves games. But, no, I became a – So you were a big sports nerd. Oh, yeah, forever. Growing up.

Forever. Oh, so we talk about Lake Highlands High School, and that's in the Richardson School District, far northeast Dallas. And people who have moved there in the last 20 years don't even know that the old Cowboys practice facility was in lake highlands and this is certainly before the star in frisco but before valley ranch the cowboys the cowboys didn't move to valley ranch until 1985 so when i was in junior high in high school the it was forest lane at abrams road and it wasn't even on the corner on the

corner was the pizza hut and but but right now it's a barber college and a chicken williams chicken but um anyway it was one football field surrounded by a blue like aluminum what is it corrugated fence kind of thing blue faded in the sun light blue and the um uh locker room and the coaches' offices were not much bigger than this RV. And there was no signage unless you knew that's where the Cowboys were. And by then, they'd already won two Super Bowls in the 1970s. They're already America's team, and you would never know that this is the practice field and coaches' offices for the Dallas Cowboys.

No security. And so I'd walk up after volleyball at Forest Meadow, which is just down Abrams Road, literally just like three blocks, hang out in the parking lot and get autographs from Roger and Tony Dorsett and Charlie Waters, Cliff Harris, Drew Pearson. That's awesome. Yeah. The coolest guy was Golden Richards because his car, blue and silver with a blue star on the back window. Datsun 280ZX. That's how long ago it was. The other thing is there was just a little sliver of parking lot between the back of the pizza hut and one of the sideline fences. And I can tell you how high the fence was because it was just where you had to pull up to try and look over to see the end of practice.

But if the dumpster behind the pizza hut got set close enough to the fence, you could just sit on top of the dumpster and watch the end of practice. That's so football. So I guess I've and watch the end of practice. That's so football. So I guess I've been watching the ends of practices since like fifth grade. Well, six. I would have been in sixth. You're not a poser. Not at all. And then you could, I guess it's, well, I've already said too much.

So what the heck. You go in the dumpster dive in the dumpster and come out with, you know, like towels and sweatbands and stuff like that for sure. Larry Bethea's shoe. Mom, mom. Yeah. Yeah. Mom, mom made me keep it.

Priceless. Mom made me keep it wrapped in plastic because it smelled so bad. But I don't know if that was from the sweater, it being in the dumpster with the pizza crust for a few days. It could have been either one. Who wears number 15? Let's see. Number 15 is Zeke Elliott.

He changed his number. I was trying to check it there. But see, last year it was Trey Lance, but he changed his to 15. To 19. Shocking to me the first time I saw Zeke in the 15 person. It does make him look slimmer, though, don't you think? It does. It does, and I was worried about that because I think 15 is a skinnier number.

If you were coach, who would you cut first? Oh, my God. No, no, no. I will not say that because I don't want it to get back to that person because I may need an interview with them before the end of camp. Before the end of camp, yes. Yes. Yeah, I also thought CD shouldn't be 88.

Or we both did back then. Because he was, wasn't he 11 in college? No, you always say that. I always thought he should have been like 11. That just seems like a skinny wide receiver number. I think he was 2. 2. Was he 2?

Yeah. But, you know, they wanted to carry on the legacy with Dez and Irvin. Oh, I know. I'm very aware of why they did it. Yeah. It's funny when these guys get here because, like, Marshawn Neyland, you know, gets 94. And, you know, Charles Haley, DeMarcus Ware, and stuff like that. And so they've got to, you know, teach them real fast about those guys so he doesn't sound like an idiot.

Yeah. Got to, you know, teach him real fast about those guys so he doesn't sound like an idiot in, you know, press conferences or in interviews if he's asked about wearing number 94. But the funny thing was before wide receivers and, you know, you could before guys could wear the single digits or the teams. Or the single digits or the teens. Yeah, when they changed that. You could always tell. I could always tell you who was going to get cut first by the numbers they were given. Because of the 80s? No. Here's the thing.

The Cowboys do not retire numbers. Right. So if they had Tony Dorsett's number. Well, they've used Tony Dorsett's number in the past. Like Nate Jones, who's now one of the officials. He's a back judge for NFL officials. He was number 33. Number 54, you would think that would be retired because you had, like, Chuck Howley and Randy White. But some of those numbers you can't just because you've got so many players.

But whoever got – he was 54. That's what I'm thinking, yeah. Whoever got number 74, Bob Lilly's number, they weren't going to make it. Yeah, he was going to be like fifth string offensive line or defensive line because he was going to be fifth string defensive line because the equipment managers have to divvy out those ones. And, you know, they'll try and give numbers if the guy wore it in college.

But it's so random what guys wear in college now where you have defensive tackles, where number one or number five. I wonder if Zeke asked for 22, would he get it? No. No. What about back when he was negotiating his contract? I think they would have rather. Like if Dak says, how about this?

They would have rather given him a contract. $10 million less per year, but I wear number eight. Troy, Troy, this is Jerry James. I need to talk to you about this new pick, and he's really excited to wear number eight. That's not bad, actually. That's a pretty good Jerry, but I guess you've talked to him for 30 years. Well, that's great.

You know what? For all our in-RV guests, we like to present a Frankel & Frankel mug. Thank you so much. Does it have the phone number in case I get in trouble? Are they bar certified out here in California? Or do I make a call when I get back to Dallas? What I do know about Frankel & Frankel is they are located in Dallas. So a lot of lawyers will be like, maybe even, oh, we do Texas.

They're not located in Houston. They're right in Dallas. And you know what, Christy, if indeed you do get in a car accident, we think you should call Frankel and Frankel right away. Thank you. I will. I mean, maybe call that husband or something. I'll call Jake because he's wearing the Frankel and Frankel hat.

That's right. Do you think if you call, you're just going to talk to a janitor or, you know, somebody at the front desk? No, you will talk to a partner. Yeah. That's right. That's what you're going to get at 817 or 214-333-3333. All threes.

All threes. They make it so easy to remember their phone number. Thank you for the mug. Thanks for having me. I appreciate it. I'm not done. Yeah, we saw that. Oh, I thought it was a parting gift.

Now leave. No, I'm kind of done. But yes, family-owned law firm, client-first mission. You can look forward to superior service. And the outcome that you deserve, Christy, not the outcome somebody else deserves. And maybe you get a mug as well. Well, you might be able to get a mug in the end. You're going to get what you're owed.

You pay the retainer, you get a mug. I'm going to go out on a limb there. Let's say you're dealt a bad card. Yep. We have Franco and Franco playing cards. You want to take that back to the room? I do. Let's say that at the scene of the crash, you're like,

oh, I'm going to call 214-817-333-3333. But also, I need to take some notes on this situation. Perhaps you have a Franco and and Frankel notepad. Or a Frankel pen. Yeah. And you're like, need a cigarette to calm down? Wow, look, they have a Frankel and Frankel lighter. That is really good.

Would you like to light the Frankel and Frankel match? I would, thank you. To cover up Jake's smell? Wait a minute. I want to make sure all the breaking bad stuff in the back, nothing's going to happen if I like this, right? I don't know. Go ahead.

Let's see if the Frankel and Frankel match actually works. Oh, it does. See, they're not really a match company. They can handle that. They're more of a law firm, personal injury law firm, chosen by the people feared by the insurance companies, Frankel and Frankel. All right, Christy Scales.

Sorry that I had interrupted your live read earlier. Excuse me. Very unprofessional. Thank you very much. All right. Thank you very much. We're going to take a break. The Dumzo.

The Dumzo. The Dumzo. The Dumzo. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. It's 1.30, boys. On my watch, which I have successfully kept, I believe on Texas time. I think I labeled it, label it as a success. Because I actually now, I'm getting up.

I think you're up before me still. Yeah. Way before me. But to me, I feel like a god that I'm up at 5 a.m. I'm getting stuff done. But it's 7 a.m. Well, you're taking the good parts from each. You're trying to keep your body clock the same,

but you also get the benefit of feeling like, hey, I did something this morning. Like I'm up when it's still dark out. Yeah. And it does make you feel like you're doing stuff and then here we are and it's like oh man just so during that break we all walked and took a little potty break i went to the uh the bathroom that you could actually move around it is not a stationary bathroom and is the sun hotter here like it, it's not hotter, the temperature, but it's hotter.

I have no idea. Do you know what I mean? Like, I was taking a shower the other night. You're welcome. By the way, do we have soft water? I was going to ask about the water. Yeah. Because I fill up my own water bottles.

Well, I don't know that you would taste the difference. But it does taste it's different. And what does soft water mean? Well, I remember the first time I encountered this, it was probably actually the first time I ever showered at my grandparents' farm.

And they were on well water, but I definitely remember my dad having it in Houston, where it feels just kind of filmy. Yeah. Like you're not totally dry. Like there's a little something different. I may be calling it the wrong thing,

but I remember thinking this morning, you know, I feel kind of slimy. So anyways, yes, you're taking a shower this morning, and that somehow relates to the sun? No. When I took a shower the other day after our first day here, and we were not even outside that much, maybe a half hour, and my neck, it was like really hurting, the water on my neck. Like it was very burned.

Yeah, you got crispied up a little bit. It was exceptionally burned. I feel like Google's doing a real smart-ass bit here with me because I typed in, where is the sun the hottest? Which means, clearly, I want to know where is the sun the hottest on the globe. And their response is, the hottest part of the sun is its core. Yeah. I'm like, well, yeah.

I mean, that's not what I meant, though. Hey, you guys want to watch a couple videos real quick? I have a lot of videos today. As long as they're not Olympic videos, because then we'll get flagged. Yeah, I was going to play in our Olympics portion the French runner. I don't think she's a sprinter, but she proposed to her husband afterward. Oh, really? Yeah, he was in the crowd.

Thought you guys would be interested in that. Maybe have a conversation about how to... Would you feel emasculated if that happened? Yes. Well, yeah. I would feel great. It's so stupid because... Oh, because she bought the ring and all that?

You just wouldn't have to deal with anything, yeah. Wait, is it just a band then? Probably. You still probably have to buy the ring. That's lame. You're basically being asked, will you spend X amount of dollars? That's true. Well, I knew my wife, and I didn't buy the ring.

Who did? She did. I just, like, proposed her, but I didn't have a ring. Did you have anything in the box? No. Didn't you have, like, a ring pop or something? Or that was Mike? No, just, like, asked.

That's really weird. Because I knew there's no way she would like anything I bought, and she would want to do the research and go to five different places. And I was like, okay. And she was very appreciative of that. Yeah, if it works out. And she picked out the bands, like, because I didn't care. She knew that I didn't care.

I think we went to the Diamond Doctor, and she kind of gave me some ideas that I took notes on, and then I executed it from there, I think. So it was all kind of performative. Yeah, we knew. I know you're going to ask me sometime here soon. I think that's how it went. Maybe I'm remembering the order of things wrong.

Oh, wait. First she got pregnant. No. As you know, that was tough sledding for us. And all those years of being careful, right? Yeah, I know. Because same thing with us. It was like I remember her like, oh, no, no, wait, no, I'm not ready.

Turns out we could have been raw dogging the whole time. The whole time, and she would have never got pregnant. Yeah, that's true. But, yeah, the lady proposing, it feels like something that should just be normal. But I also feel like that might be where my progressiveness ends. You wouldn't be for it. No, and there's no reason to not be for it. Other than just cultural, historical precedent, you know. But it might be one of those where I literally just default to that's for it other than just cultural historical precedent you know but it might

be one of those where i literally just default to that's how it is i don't know so a couple things for you guys real quick a video that i received the other day you may recall that i appeared in a commercial with a guy who 20 years from now will be considered the greatest football player of all time. I consider him a friend. Patrick Mahomes. He has a new product that he is advertising called Throne Sport Coffee. It's quite good. It's quite good.

Check it out. They're not our sponsor? Okay, that's fine. It's a completely different product. Addison Coffee Roaster sells grinds, beans. This is an energy workout drink. And I'm telling you it doesn't taste good. Okay, that's fine.

That's ridiculous. Well, we're about to play the spot, so can I do that? I'm being transparent and honest with you. As a coffee drinker, it does not taste good. You also don't work out, although you do look good. I do work out. I haven't seen you out there this week. Yeah, and that's the difference between you and I.

You want to work out for the world, and I want to work out for myself. I was in the backyard this morning. And that's fine, but I don't tell people about it. Although Blake did share with me, he set the record, the camp record, thus far is 17,000 steps yesterday. And I feel like that's a record that will not be top. Actually, video may and might come from my top.

No, you're right. You never share exercise or workout things with people. That's the first time I've ever done it. Okay. Agree to disagree. Let's play the original Throne Sport Coffee video here. There's quarterbacks, then there's Patrick Mahomes. There's coffee, then there's Coffee Plus.

Introducing Throne Sport Coffee. Let's get going. Let's go. Coffee plus natural caffeine. There's Mahomes doing a snatch. Natural flavors and sweeteners, vitamins, natural lights and more to help you get going. There's walking through the weight room. Walks right by James Harden.

No matter your game, whether it's game time or overtime. Overtime? Yeah, I know a thing or two about that. Hell yeah. Throw a sport coffee. What did you say to him? Keep going. What was your line?

Are you done for the day? And he's like, no, I'm just getting going. So I told you guys at the time that there was some, they film a ton of stuff in these commercials and 10% of it gets used. So I hit up our buddy Cameron and I'm like, hey, you know, do you still have that video of me catching a pass and falling down? The brief backstory here again is you show up and they have a wardrobe and they told me to bring some of my own clothes but they didn't like the shoes i had because i probably just had these on like like air maxes nice sneakers and they're like you need dress shoes so they had a pair of dress shoes i can't remember if it was size like 14 or 15 but it was two to four sizes too big for me. They were clown shoes. And I got

no preparation for this. So what you're about to see is they told me there was going to be a scene where he threw me a pass. And I thought, why would we be doing that? I guess I'll do it. It'd be cool. But it was real rushed and they had us both sit down. And if you recall, Cameron, the director said, hey, I got to change my lens real quick. And I didn't know this was part of the bit. So while we're sitting there, while he changes the lens, Patrick starts talking to me and says, hey, why don't I throw you a route? So I had no idea what was happening. No preparation. I thought the lens change thing was legit. And this is what they made out of it. And this is when I fell down.

What on earth? Speeding. Speed. Speed. All right. Hey, sorry, you guys. I'm going to have to change the lens real quick. Y'all just take five.

So you don't think this is part of the commercial? No. Man, I'm just feeling a little tense. Why don't you run a route for me? I'm throwing it to you. Then I do. All right, let's go. OK, so you run a route for me? I'm throwing it to you. Then I do. All right, let's go. Okay, so you're wearing khaki pants, dress shoes.

Touchdown. Do you see that, Blake? Yeah. All right. I want to watch it again. Yeah, I need to see this a few times. But because... So right there is the point. No, I want to back up even to months ago after you filmed this commercial,

you came in with a story and described it. And so when you described it, I'm going to describe now what I thought I would see. Okay. Is, I don't know. I mean, I've been to the Clemson practice facility. So it's an indoor. It's like a giant gym, but it's a full-size field. Yeah.

A full-size football field. So when you said I ran this route, I'm thinking Jake went 30 yards down the field and cut in. And so he's way down a long football field, and he's taken long strides, and he actually reached out to fingertip catch a ball. I never said that point at all. And then fell down. No, I never said that. This is, you're like seven yards away from him.

It's like 25. It's not 25. You're barely moving. Yeah. And the fall is even funnier because there's no reason you should have fallen in that situation. You weren't like going full speed. You weren't.

I just tripped on my shoes, man. 100 yards down the field. All right, let's watch again. Straight. 100 yards down the field. All right. Let's watch again. Straight up shoe trip. Jake acting. All right. Let's go.

Or not acting. A little late off the line. It looks like, though, you've... If you were to say, hey, I want you to catch and fall down, like that's the way you would have acted doing it. Exactly, like the bears on the slip and slide. And then he did, though, do kind of a roll, a tumble right up into pop up,

kind of like a good slide into second and you pop up or something. Did you guys not feel like that ball was underthrown a little bit? It was. Like he threw it on my front shoulder. He was trying to protect you from the safety. And probably from the garage. Yeah, you would have ran right through that garage door and then you popped up

and put both arms in the air and victory. That's awesome. Yeah, well we do the show for the listener and even though that's horribly embarrassing for me, I wanted to share it with you boys. And Patrick Mahomes. Look, you can't take it away from me, you know?

Hey, man, I once had Stephen McGee throw me a pass, so I know what it's like. Of course. To have greatness. Of course. More? Or is that it? That's all I have.

For a video portion. Well, I got Today in Twitter if you want to do that. Want to go Today in Twitter? Yeah, why not? The Dumbzell presents Today in Twitter. Okay, this one actually has quite a bit of audio, excuse me, of video. The first one we're going to do actually doesn't have anything to do with sports, but the rest of them do the first one i saw this and it had like 2 000 retweets and i believe

this woman is on instagram also and i think she's a comedian and this is her bit i think it's really really funny so i guess i'll preface it a little bit because I didn't know what I was watching the first time I watched it. And it made a lot more sense after I researched it. She sets up her phone as a camera or a camera and then has her phone. And she calls people random numbers from the phone book or from listings where she just knows their name. And it's a house number, I assume. And she calls them and waits for them to ask, like, you know, is this such and such? And she's like, yes, I haven't seen you in forever. And then just strings the person along.

So it's kind of jerky boys-ish, but it's for TikTok. And she's probably got 50 to 75 of these. And I loved it. Debbie, how may I help you? Oh, my God, Debbie? Yes? 50 to 75 of these? I'm good. How are you doing? I heard your mom stroke She's gone. Oh But I'm pregnant Yeah

Yeah No, you're not okay. This is Cheryl. Trevor. Yeah. Yes This is Debbie, right? Oh, you're not? Okay, this is Cheryl Tremoria. Yes. This is Debbie, right? Yes. Yeah, I'm pregnant, but I'm not keeping it. Don't worry. Oh, no. Don't say that. Don't say, don't tell me that.

Why? Because I don't believe in abortion. It's literally 2024, Deb. You gotta get with the times. I know, but, you know, I go by my own principle. You know, I follow what the Bible says. Oh. Oh, really? Yes, you... Okay, I can't talk really loud because I have a small hair.

I was about to just hear her. Aren't you my age? Yeah, I'm old. How... Are you able... I mean... Okay. No, I can't push that thing out.

I gotta... I gotta get rid of it. My thing, it'll stretch to the next planet. I watched several of them, and it's a great bit. Yeah. Because most people, especially older people, will do that. Is this Jack? You're like, yes.

Because you want to be polite. It is. Yeah. All right, so I have a couple sports videos for you. The first one is from, I think it's from Nebraska's camp. I think. But I don't know if you were ever this guy, but with offensive linemen, especially in the heat,

there is one thing that they definitely need, and that is gold bond. For the gooch. For the taint. What does Gold Bond do? It's kind of just a powder that keeps you from chafing. Yeah, but it's like, I think it might be medicated a little bit. I remember the old radio commercials,

Larry King, the Gold Bond, medicated powder. But I didn't know what that meant. If you're going to run, in my case, just a half, definitely not a full guy, you want to have something because the insides of your legs will rub together so much that it really will rub you raw. And if you have tree trunks for legs, they're going to be touching a lot. So offensive linemen in general, Gold Bond, if you ever see an interview with an NFL player,

they're in front of their locker, you can see that yellow bottle. Gold Bond is big. This kid from Nebraska put the Gold Bond on. Remember Zeke was asking for Gold Bond? My gooch! During hard knocks. He's like, my gooch! And this dude from Nebraska put the Gold Bond on, and they were filming.

And this is what happened, Dan. Running back real quick. Just a poof of powder? Yeah. That's a giant fart. It's a giant fart with a lot of gold bond and he just has an exhaust pipe behind him. I hate looking or I hate seeing seeing what farts are actually like.

I know, right? It's better just the fact that you can't visualize them is so much better. That's why it sucks to fart in the bathtub because once you see it come off, you're like, that is just god-awful right there. It's giant. Yeah. Okay, so the last series of videos we have, this has taken the Internet and college football by storm

over the last couple of days, and it, of course, deals with our favorite Coach Prime in Colorado, who I have it on good authority, Mark Jones and RG3, calling Colorado North Dakota State week one. Awesome. And North Dakota State does not F around. No, they're good. As you may know.

Oh, really? Okay. They're the best D2 team, or whatever they call it now. Carson Wentz went there. Trey Lance. Trey Lance went there. I mean, they might have five losses in the last five years. Goddard?

Dallas Goddard? Yeah. They've turned out some NFL players. So the initial controversy was brought about when Colorado posted the video that we're going to play here first, and the caption on it, maybe it'll show up on the screen, says darts only, and then they put the, like, dart bullseye emoji with it. But people thought, this seems fake.

So you got Shadur dropping back, he's in the pocket. Deep throw. Jump cut to the catch in the end zone. Okay. But every – you can watch it one more time if you want. It's just a weird edit. Why not just show the whole play? So they got the behind the QB, launches, cut to the catch.

Yeah. And immediately everyone was like, this is embarrassing. Does that mean it's doctored? These are not the same play. Can I mention something about whoever caught it? We've talked about it before, but yes. The back of his jersey has his at. Yeah, it's got his IG handle on it.

Like at whatever. All their names or do they get to choose which one? Some people choose that. 82 has it also. Okay. Some people just choose a nickname. It's a little weird. Dion sends mixed messages.

Like it's all about team. Because I'm old school and it's about team and this and that. But yeah, you could do that. Yeah. So because people thought it was fake. It is fake. Well, we'll get to that. A couple college football programs.

Actually, we're going to play a couple. There's about 50 of them. And their social media teams got to work. This first one that you'll see here is from Arkansas. Okay. As they quickly got in the lab and made their own darts-only video. Quarterback drop it back, throws to the flat. So it's clearly edited.

Like a five-yard out from the quarterback, and then they cut to the ball in the air on like a 45-yard nine route. Yeah. That was pretty good. Everybody's making fun of them. And I watch a ton of these. They're all pretty much like that one. This one, though, the Hawaii one is the funniest one,

where they have their quarterback drop back to throw, and then they use a clip of one of their offensive linemen catching a bobbled pass from like 10 years ago and running darts only. Oh! The big man, number 69, catches the ball and rumbles for about 27 yards. So everybody started making fun of Colorado by doing their own? Yeah.

There's a ton of them. And even like I was telling Blake this morning, the college football game he plays, I've seen a bunch of them where a guy will catch a shotgun snap on the game, turn his throw vision all the way to the sideline in the crowd, throw it in the crowd, and then stitch together a video of somebody catching. Everyone's having fun. But Colorado, not going to take this lying down.

So after everybody started making fun of them, they decided that they would put out a video, a two-video tweet that just had a shrug of the shoulders, and it's both views. So we can play the quarterback one first and the end zone one after. This is the quarterback view of the original. This is to prove that it was real? Yeah. Okay.

You can kind of see it gets caught there by 10. And then in the next one, they show the end zone view, which looks like the same play. Yeah. I'm sure it is. But it did just look a little weird. The weird edit was enough to get people being like, what are we doing?

I mean, it looks like he just misses his guy really bad. Yeah, but I think he just runs under it. Okay. But also. Oh, you know what? You were looking at the inside guy. Yeah, the inside receiver. Yeah, the outside guy he just runs under it. Okay. But also – Oh, you know what? You were looking at the inside guy. Yeah, the inside receiver. Yeah, the outside guy was pressing outside shoulder, got up, and then got around.

Okay, okay. The inside guy definitely looks like he air mailed it over to that guy. Yeah, yep, yep. He's like stemming to the post. So I don't know. It was just funny because every – you know this is the sort of thing that your social media department for UAB or whatever is like, finally, we get to do something cool. There's my Today in Twitter.

That's awesome. That is awesome. Thanks, guys. I have a little bit of sports today. I know we've got a variety of stuff. The wonderful world of sports. Radio sports. Scoreboard. Oh, yeah. I like that. And this is like our walkthrough, we should say.

So today, I mentioned this during the break, but we didn't mention it during the program proper. And now we're kind of out there. We're streaming. We're doing the thing. Today is the Rams scrimmage. Is that what we call it? I think they say joint practice because there's like some one-on-ones and three-on-threes and stuff between the two teams.

Okay. So it's not an official game scrimmage, but whatever. They want to get other team in here, and that way you can start hitting guys that aren't your friends. Sure. Usually there's a couple things that happen during these. They're pretty good. But, yes, but unlike a preseason game, the coaches can run out on the field

and stop this down and let's do this or let's run that again or something. But it's kind of a big day out here. Like Rob had to show up two hours early just to find a parking spot, make sure we can get a place for the RV. And as we walked out during that break, you could see the fans are starting to trickle in now. And the Cowboy PR even alerted all the media, hey, get here real, real early because it's going to be a lot of chaos.

So the fans are trickling in now, I believe, at 3 o'clock. Right now it's 152 if you are live streaming along with us. If you're listening later, like most people, then you're just hearing a boring story from me. At 3 o'clock, McCarthy will supposedly do a press conference, and then the game will start at 3.30? Is that what you're to understand? An hour later, 4.

4 o'clock. 2 slash 4. So 4 to 6 is the game? Yes. Yes. 2 slash 4. I'm speaking to our audience. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. But you're correct. So, yeah, so we might broadcast right up to McCarthy and then, like, carry some of it. Sure. But we also might peter out. I guess just stay tuned. See if we actually have it in us. And we can actually take another break or something if you guys want.

If you've got to go clutching your bottom, run to the bathroom. But in my sports today, one thing I wanted to mention was, oh, before my cowboy thing. You guys see I have to memorize another name now? Pedro Grifal. Yeah. Has been fired by the White Sox. I think they had like a couple of, if not three, like ten game losing streaks this year. Yeah.

They're in a bad way. I mean, I know they were already in teardown mode, right? They traded the dude that I'd seen at APEC. Kopech? Yeah, but he was just a reliever. There were very high hopes for him at one point. Yeah. Dodgers?

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Anyway, I don't know if they've named an point. Yeah. Dodgers? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Anyway, I don't know if they've named an interim manager yet. Have they? Who? Grady Sizemore. Oh, okay. Interim or full-time?

Interim. Okay. Roids? I don't know. Probably. Probably, but never proven. Okay. It was that era.

I definitely always thought of him as... Because he had that one really good year, right? He had one year. Let me pull it up here. He had one year where it went... So Pedro Grafal... I guess it's not that much. But he did have, like, a 28, 24, 33 home run season

and never really hit many ever again. I should be able to remember Grady Sizemore pretty easily. Yeah. But moment of silence for Pedro Grafal. That was only a moment. That's enough that he... That's all he easily. Yeah. But moment of silence for Pedro Graffal. That was only a moment. That's enough that he, that's all he needs. Okay. I never manage again.

But this stemming off of your, I was just thinking about this last night, stemming off of your talk yesterday, your article at D Magazine, just about Tyler Smith and wanting to play guard. Like he wants to do that too, right? That's just not the Cowboys, or at least that's what they're saying. That's not the way it sounds. It sounds like he's on board and likes being settled in. I don't know.

Guards make closer to what tackles make now than they did before. It's still not the same, obviously. Just look at the deal signed this offseason with the Werfs. But it is kind of interesting how football and the pay scale is set up and that, in fact, in certain positions, it just matters what you are labeled as as far as, let's say, they're going to franchise you. We've seen this with pass-catching tight ends.

Your Jimmy Grahams. That are upset that they can't get franchised as a wide receiver even though they get as many catches there and are clearly just as if not more valuable than a good wide wide receiver because they're even more rare if i could even you know that would i would think that translates to the real game as well but that's the way fantasy is, right? If there's only three tight ends that can get you this much, they're much more valuable than if I can wait and there's a bunch of receivers that could get me that much. Yeah, I mean, I've said it many times.

I think Travis Kelsey is the most valuable player in the NFL. Travis Kelsey makes 17 a year. Him go or Cheetah. What's his name go? Tyree Kill is getting 35 now. I mean, he's awesome, but having a Travis Kelsey or Kittle, like watching that receiver show, what Kittle does for them is – it's incredible, and he's making $15 million a year.

And obviously, left tackles, that's usually your highest dollar. it's incredible, and he's making $15 million a year. And obviously, left tackles, that's usually your highest dollar. And so, yes, if there was an opportunity that, hey, man, you could be our left tackle of the future, you'd probably rather be that than a guard. But I just got thinking about baseball. Does that exist at all? I just got thinking about baseball. Does that exist at all? Because clearly a power hitting shortstop.

Here's where I go back to. When you mentioned that yesterday, I got thinking about Alfonso Soriano. So when the Rangers traded A-Rod, they ended up getting Alfonso Soriano, who was a young, up-and-coming, power-hitting, you know, back then, steroid era. So maybe, you know, a lot of people were getting a lot of home runs then. But he was a second baseman. And he was only a second baseman because the Yankees already had Derek Jeter. And so he couldn't displace Jeter, so they made him a second baseman. But he was a shortstop coming up. And the Rangers traded for him, and they traded A-Rod.

You know, he was among the things they got back. And wanted to make him their shortstop. And you do remember this because Michael Young was their second baseman, who, at the time, Alfonso Soriano said, first of all, he's mad that he got traded by the Yankees to the Rangers, because now he's going to a crappy team. Yeah. But he refused to go play shortstop,

crappy team yeah uh but he refused to go play shortstop because every year there was a really clear path in the american league to him being the all-star second baseman as long as he was kind of the same player but i believe you had um you had nomar garciaparra you had derrick jeter of course a rod before he when he was with with the Rangers, he was a shortstop. So that was all, there was always a log jam at shortstop, whereas Alfonso Soriano could still be an all-star every year if he just stayed at second base. So he didn't want to go be a shortstop. And that's when Michael Young got labeled as what a selfless team leader.

Team guy. He volunteered to leave second base to go to shortstop. And I always thought that was silly to say that because shortstop is the more glamorous position. You'd rather be known as a shortstop. I mean, I would even say third more than second. And then he moved to third, right? Who did? Michael Young?

Yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure. That's because they called up Elvis. Yeah. Yeah, but it's, I mean, even that. He didn't want to go to third, though. No. Yeah.

But third is still more glamorous than second, right? So both of those moves were. Yeah, second was always kind of your. It's your weakest arm, for sure. I'll tell you this. Because you're standing right there. It's where, if we were blowing someone out, I could move from right field to second base. Yeah, yeah. They're like, okay, you can at least stay in front of it you're not going to

get a lot of balls pulled hard at you it's going to be off the end of the bat short throw i'll charge one if i have to yes our worst player in in little league or whatever yes you you put them at second base if indeed they get any infield at all that's interesting i mean but he still got broke the bank and it didn't matter, you know what I mean? Like baseball, it didn't matter at all the defensive position you play. Yeah, some of that might have been just that he was like Rangers legend. I would bet in general second baseman make the most of any player in front of the plate. But the one I was thinking of is Ketcher.

Like is Ketcher the running back of baseball, where you're like, look, we'll get two of them. You know, one of them will play 60%. The other plays 40%. It doesn't matter that much. We're not expecting much out of you offensively. And if we are, probably by the time you're 26, you're a third baseman or a left fielder.

Yeah, nowadays they're going to move you. Yeah, so – Like Pudge. Would Pudge have ever remained at second base in this era? Or, excuse me, a catcher. Absolutely not. Even though it was proven that he could – That he could do it.

He had the longevity and was able to do it forever. They wouldn't even let you try now, though. I mean, I remember that's what I thought was so cool about Bryce Harper when he was coming up. I'm like, damn, this is like the best hitting catcher of all time. Yeah. And he was not a catcher for more than like two or three years. And you're like, I guess that's just not happening anymore.

Yeah. There's maybe two or three, and Blake would know better, premier catchers, and everybody else is just platooning that, like running backs. Yeah. But outside of that, you're right. There's really not that level of delineation in baseball. In basketball, it might be the center now.

Well, I mean, is there even a center anymore? Well, there's a few, and it depends on who you call a center as opposed to a four. But, like, Derek Lively is a center, and he's going to make a lot of money. But Jokic maybe you would to a four, but like Derek Lively is a center, and he's going to make a lot of money. But Jokic maybe would call a center, but most teams just have like two guys. I mean, the Mavericks got by with Dwight Powell for several years. Yeah, and weren't bad. No, not bad.

He was just like, just get a guy because it's all about ball handling and shooting. And then in cricket, I mean, it's really more of a... The difference, though, between Dwight Powell and... Derek Lively. It's... Like, Lively, dude, is... He's the future.

It's awesome. I hope the casino people see that. How about... We do today in Olympics. But I want to play the song. We're on an RV at the Cowboys camp. If we play the song, it'll get flat.

We are at Cowboys camp. By YouTube. Maybe in a little bit we will eat some lunch and take a break, break, break, break. Getting a little hungry there? Is Matt on the way? I ate some of, dude, those things that his wife made are stupid. I know you're not a meat guy, but it's like ham, turkey, Swiss cheese,

rolled up with a, like, green tortilla wrap. I gave Jake my lunch because I'm a good guy. No, that's not true. Because he forgot his at the house. And Matt's bringing it. And he took, like, an extra ten minutes to warm it up. Yeah. Remember how long we were waiting in the car?

It seemed like forever. Should I respond, Blake? Yeah, if he's going to lob grenades at you, you should kick them back. Okay, there was a conversation in the kitchen where we said we were leaving at a certain time last night. Now, I was two minutes late being in the kitchen. It was supposed to be 8.30 Pacific. I was in there at 8.32, and Dan said, are we leaving?

And we said, yeah, I mean, that's what we talked about. And he's like, I need 15 minutes. So then you went to go get ready, and I said to Blake, didn't you see the tech? This morning or last night? This morning. Yeah. This morning, because I thought we were leaving much later

because Rob took this early then. But that's not what the text said. You hearted a text that said, Matt will drive us over at 830, but I'm afraid that was after gummy. You did heart it. I was just hearting just to be fun. I replied and said, perfect. And you hearted it, so we all thought.

But then it's 832, and I'm like, man, I'm sorry I'm late. I wasn't even dressed yet. I even included down time. I was wearing my sleeping clothes. Yeah, when you walked downstairs, we kind of looked at each other. Okay, he didn't look ready. Okay. The only story I have is something that was sent to me.

A lady named Kristen Faulkner, she just won gold at the Olympics in Paris in the women's bicycle road race. The first American to win gold in this race in 40 years. There's a viral tweet about her that I thought was pretty interesting. Did you see this? I would just like to pre-say that the WNBA is having their moment. Cycling's on the come up? Just the Olympics in general. I appreciate

the Twitter account that will let you know, oh, hey, look, there's this hot who swims for this country. Yeah, there's been a lot of that. Or, hey, look at this hot. And even Miss Faulkner. Yep. She grew up in Alaska. She was a rower at Harvard, which I didn't even really

know what that was. Is that crew? Is that what they call crew? I don't know, but that's the boys in the boat. Yeah, the book. The book Kalasha loved and I also loved. Yeah, it's about rowing, which apparently is a thing. It feels like Harvard might be your place. Yeah, Ivy League East Coast.

She moved to New York City after school, started working for a venture capital firm. She took a beginner's cycling class in Central Park. Started cycling at 5 a.m. before work. Started competing in local cycling tournaments. Quit her job at the VC firm and moved to California to cycle full time. Quit her job at the VC firm and moved to California to cycle full-time, was added to the U.S. road cycling roster one month before these Olympic Games.

Seven years after taking a beginner's class in New York, she has won gold at the Olympics. That's crazy. So you too could do that. Well, the way I think about it is I've seen some of these videos during the olympics as well where typically it looks like it's in africa where somebody is filming kids who clearly have extraordinary athletic potential but they're using you know a tire as their bounce point the thing to launch them for gymnastics they've rigged up branches and bamboo and stuff for a pole vault type clearance thing. And they're awesome.

But, you know, this is actually somewhat the basis of the story. I believe it's a documentary that Kevin Bacon produced called The Air Up There. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, where he goes and recruits a player. To recruit basketball players. Yeah. But seven years, dude, and you're winning the gold?

So does that say more about her being great or cycling? I don't know. Who does that? And if A-Ha Wilson wanted to. It's Asia. Is it Asia? How come she spells it A-ha Wilson wanted to... It's Asia. Is it Asia? How come she spells it A-ha? Well, the J doesn't always mean ha in every...

Okay, it usually means Juh? Can. Okay. So, A-J Wilson... Unless I'm wrong about that. What do you think, Blake? I don't have an opinion. Can you pull me up?

Anyway, it's just her birthday today. That's the only reason I know who she is. I was curious how you pulled that out. It's a WNBA player. Always on his mind. Anyway, yeah. It's like if LeBron grew up in a soccer-playing country, would LeBron be a great soccer player?

Do it again. Asia Wilson. Do I have to say it like that? Would LeBron be a great soccer player? Do it again. Asia Wilson. Okay. Do I have to say it like that? They are all very flamboyant. I'm not Larry the Cable Guy. Asia Wilson. No, he would say Aja.

That's the only Olympic story I had for today, I think. They're winding down. The closing ceremonies are Sunday. My wife's really bummed about it. How are we doing? I don't know. I think we're destroying. Really?

I think we're up in medals, but down in golds. Yeah, we're down one gold to China. China. But we have 26 more medals. I don't know. I don't care. It's been nice that it's on, but it's not my thing. You know, I stopped watching because Caitlin Clark didn't make the team.

I stopped watching after the opening ceremony. Oh, that's right. You were so. Because at first, you know, a couple years ago, well, you know, that joke's not going to work because that was the World Cup. Damn it. The slaves. Yeah.

What? Built some stadium that we didn't want to build? All of them. And, like, a bunch of them died. Not so good. Not that good at all. You know, before we move on, I could tell you that Prosper Ford is in Prosper, Texas. That makes sense.

It is up the tollway, 380. You've been there. Beautiful showroom. I have. I've been there. We've all been there. It is Prosper Ford. there beautiful showroom i have um i've been there we've all been there it is uh prosper ford uh chas gilmore is the guy who owns prosper ford and he built it from the ground up he owns grapevine ford and uh he always wanted to have his very own dealership where he could uh make it the way he

has always envisioned a dealership to be and that is what you get at Prosper Ford. Fast trade-in value, no hassle financing, competitive specials. Go to prosperford.com or go up the tollway and stop by Prosper Ford and tell Chaz you heard about them on the Dumb Zone. You could tell him that or we actually

worked something out where if you go up and straight unprompted chest bump him, he knows that means you're with us. Oh, really? Okay. Yeah, so if you want to try that out... Yeah, just try it and see what he says. Yeah, give it a go. And then explain it later. Um...

Should we do some news? Sure, why not? I'm looking here. Oh, let me give one quick... Probably because I can't find the news sounder. I have viewer mail and news. Oh, I forgot about viewer mail. Thank goodness. Hey, everybody. It's time to answer some of today's viewer mail.

A little late there. I'm late by headphones. Oh. All right, I'll do the first one. This is from our good friend Jameson. I don't think it's that Jameson, but it might be. We have a couple different Jamesons. I'm going to say this is the Jameson.

I'll keep it short. I'm a numbers nerd. I live in a high-rise with a packed parking garage. Started timing cars that I'm stuck behind. I time it all. Average. Timing cars I'm stuck behind. What does that mean?

It means if you're in the parking garage and you're trying to park your car, but there's someone in front of you, perhaps a Dan McDowell, and they're like... Oh, okay. So he's timing each one of them. Average of 38 seconds to back into a spot. They back in significantly... 38?

I promise you, you'd be shocked. Next time, try it. If there's a spot on... Man. If both spots next to where they're parking are occupied, they're taking their time. I gotta wait 40 seconds for you to back in? Average of 38 seconds to back into a spot.

They back in significantly slower than face-in. 10 or less in pull-in, including three-point turns on pull-in. Straight pull-in is less than six seconds, which makes sense. I usually just whip it. If I have to straight, boom, good. Pull-out nose forward, two seconds. Back-out, average of 15 seconds with a one-point turn on average. So total of average 40 seconds back-in versus 10 seconds pull-in

if you combine the pull-in and the pull-out. He says backing-in also significantly combine the front and the pull-in and the pull-out he says backing in also significantly more prone to accidents when backing out the reverse lights indicating they are entering the driveway versus pull straight out no indication suddenly a car is pulling out so if you're backing up there's a bright light on your brake light your reverse light you're pulling out forward. Who knows? Sure. Four accidents from cars pulling out face forward in 2024 in our garage. Zero backing out into passing cars.

And then he put in parentheses, I asked management for stats. That's awesome. All right. The data, bro. Yep. I can be changed. As you know, you haven't seen me eat an apple in front of you in some time. Boy, we brushed it back with that one hard, didn't we?

But I want to do right by society. But also, what really bothers me is people that park over that front line, that white line. And I can't park. I'm a bad parker. So I'm... I don't like that either. I don't... So backing in really does...

Yeah. Really helps me. I should get like a... They should give me some kind of a tag. Like kind of a handicap type thing, just so you know that you're behind me. And I've got trouble. I have trouble with the depth of perception I'm pulling in. Man, that reminds me.

But I got plenty of experience pulling out. You know what I mean, bros? Kind of like your, what were you saying you'd seen a ton of lately? Vehicle-wise? The Cybertruck. No, no, no. Didn't you have another one? I was trying to think of a

pull-out joke. No. Something you were like, hey, I've been seeing this everywhere. Oh, the baby on board? Baby on board sticker, yeah. So I had over the last month or so, almost every time I leave my house, especially over by where we're staying and you

live, I see a student driver sticker. First time driver. I've seen more of those. They drive my neighborhood a lot because there's no traffic. Right. It's summer. Yeah. So I went to go buy something.

You like getting behind them and tailgating them? Well, yeah. I went to go buy something in Southlake Town Square before we left. I went to go buy something in Southlake Town Square before we left. And I was parked behind a car, an SUV. And it wasn't a student driver, but they had two stickers. I can't recall exactly what they said, but one of them said they were like in pink and black and supposed to be jokey. And one of them said something to the effect of, new driver, please take it easy.

And the other one said something in the event of, just started driving, don't yell at me. And I thought this was very funny because they were both on the back of a brand new Infiniti QX60 SUV, and I'm like, okay. Yeah, I guess. And it does prove, like, no matter where you live, no matter what your status is in life, your kid will say, I'm the worst treated in my school because I don't have a brand new car the day I turn 16 or something like that.

Yeah. It was amusing to me. What was your first car? It was amusing to me. What was your first car? An 1985 K5 Blazer with a... I can't remember if it was an 8 or a 12-inch suspension lift and 38-inch tires. A CB? There was a CB in it, but I don't think it was functional.

But it was there. I had the rack. And then I had two 10-inch subwoofers in the back. I think I bought it for $4,000. And it was barely drivable. But it could tear some mud up. Go muddin'. Yours, Blake? I had a Pontiac Firebird convertible.

That's so Blake. That sounds kick-ass. It was very kick-ass. And yours was the Challenger, right? Yes, a Ford Pinto. But I never put the top down. Because I didn't like the wind blowing in my hair. I don't believe that, but I'll let you skate.

It does seem like a beating. I never got it. I don't believe that, but I'll let you skate. It does seem like a beating. Yeah, I never got it. I don't, yeah. Never got it. The only convertible we had was because I think that's all they had when we had our honeymoon in Hawaii. Like they rented out convertibles. Yeah, that's popular.

Popular out here as well. I mean, every once in a while. Like if you want to drive the coast. I get it, but I wasn't going to put it down every day. It just kind of gets old after a while. That kind of left the culture. Convertibles? Yeah.

Yeah, it kind of did. You don't see it too much anymore. No. Back with waterbeds? Yeah, probably, yeah. I always wanted one growing up. Probably. My mom had one. I've slept on one one growing up. Probably. My mom had one.

I've slept on one many times. A college girlfriend of mine had one. Yeah? A little motion in the ocean? It was just tougher. Yeah. I think I could handle it then, but now I don't know that I could. Balance-wise, it's a bit tricky.

What's the benefit? Or is there? Is it just cool? No, the water doesn't stay cool? Well, I promise. No, the water doesn't stay cool. No, no, no. It's just cool to say you have a waterbed, or is there a benefit? I'm positive there was a time where probably, like, some group of chiropractors or something

were getting paid by Big Waterbed, and were like, this is better for you. That's how everything works, though, right? But it feels like it was really prevalent when I was a little kid. Yeah, because my grandparents had one in the 70s that they still had whenever it was late 80s, early 90s, and I'm like, this is... Shag carpet, waterbed. Shag carpet's still great. So my dad actually lived in a place after he got divorced, when he got remarried, his second house.

And it was like, dude, I'm talking not, what's the word? Not Kelly Green, you know, like the reddest red you could imagine of shag carpet for half the house. That's awesome. I thought it was awesome too. And it felt so 70s. It was just cool. I do it was awesome, too. And it felt so 70s. It was just cool. I do have one other viewer mail. This one from Beth.

My time is right here. Our good friend dropped... I was going to say breath, but then I almost said breast because she's undergoing a double mastectomy and getting triple Fs when she gets out. Her surgery was today. Oh, okay. As of like 15 minutes ago, so shout out, Beth. Shout out to Beth. Let us see them.

Yeah. She probably will. For research. All the fun we've given her over the years, right? It's only fair. It is. Some non-birthdays. And we've been getting a lot of things about L.A. meetups or even a meetup here.

Are we going to try and do like a, let's say, Monday Spencer McKenzie's a certain time? I don't know. That I don't know. I mean, there's one guy who's hit us up, so I figured we'd just communicate directly with him. All right, I got another one today regarding that. Not the same guy? Nope. You didn't have to be so sassy about it.

But another guy who wanted to meet up in L.A. says, also, you should take a Waymo while you're here. The guy that was killing all those prostitutes in Heat? I don't get that reference, even though I like Heat. Oh, I'm sorry. That was Wayne Grow. Hmm. It was in LA. I don't know if I should keep going here.

I only watched it once. Waymo. I want watched it once. Way Mo! I want to do that. It's an autonomous, driverless taxi service, a subsidiary of Google, that kicks ass. I personally don't use Uber anymore because of how safe and comfortable these are.

Hands down one of the coolest bits you can experience in California. Let me know. I can give you an invite code. Let me know. Dump that. Let me know, and I can give you an invite code via my account so you all can skip the wait list.

So there's a wait list. Let's be great from Steven. Let's take it to Spencer McKenzie's one day. What? I don't even understand it. It's a it to Spencer McKenzie's one day. What? I don't even understand it. It's a driverless? Yeah. You haven't seen these?

No. They got cameras all over it, and there's no driver. You get in, and yeah, you just go. But it's nice because you don't have to fake talk to anybody or smell their smells. What are you saying about people that drive? I'm saying they probably smell bad and don't speak your language. Why?

Well, you did get pretty specific there. Okay, I think I want to try it. Yeah, I do too. Definitely just to Spencer McKenzie's. That sounds pretty short. Yeah. Don't have to hop on the highway. From the house?

Yeah, would it just pull right up in front of your house? Oh, I thought the guy was saying use it in L.A. Oh, is it not in Ventura? I doubt it's down here. Damn. Oh, really? Yeah, I mean. Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

I think he's talking about when you guys go to the Rams game. We are going to the Rams game on Sunday. Are we getting credentials or do we have to buy tickets? It's like he forgets everything we talk about. What do we talk about? We didn't get approved for credentials. Like you asked? Yeah.

And they laughed at you? They just chose to not respond. Okay, so you don't really know. See, this is him living on email. He doesn't talk to anybody. There's no personal communication. I'm the guy that yesterday said, you're the guys who said,

we don't have to go meet the PR guy yesterday, Bront. And it turned out to be it was a great meeting. And he's one of my best friends. See? F off? Just saying. If it produces results for us,

then it was a great meeting. Well, he's now one of my good friends down here. And you guys are like, why do we need to talk to him? Just send an Like, if it produces results for us, then it was a great meeting. Well, he's now one of my good friends down here. And you guys are like, why do we need to talk to him? Just send an email, bro. I'm like, no, no, no. There's something to personal communication in the world that you guys don't understand. Yeah. You think everything is, you think it's an uploading world.

In an iPad? It is. Yeah. There's still things that matter And then I got This is another non-birthday From someone I'll call M He didn't really want to use his name

Dear Uncle Penis Flytrap Yep, that's approved I like it I like it a lot Yep, that's approved. I like it. I like it a lot. People say that skydiving... Do you have access to a mic if you need to chime in? People say that... And Rob Chickering,

who is engineering this whole trip, has skydiven over 1,600 times. Skydove? People say that skydiving and sex are two of the biggest rushes one can experience. I was pondering Video Man's 1,600 jumps and wondering if he's jumped out of a plane.

I must not be doing it right. Yeah, I was going to say Man's 1,600 jumps and wondering if he's jumped out of a plane. I must not be doing it right. Yeah, I was going to say, I don't... More times... Has he jumped out of a plane more times than I've put the P and the V? Oh, good question. 1,600 times breaks down to once a week for over 30 years, which is about how long I've been in the game. Obviously, there are youthful good times

when it's much more than that, but there are dry spells mixed in. And now I've been married almost 18 years. Okay, so what you really mean is 12 years. And as you know, this falls off over time. So I think it's close. What do you and the boys think? More DZ reports from M.

And in the skydiving world, much like the KVIL, we add KVIL to everything. We call it an airgasm. Okay, there you go. Like the great feeling you'd get? Yeah, good airgasm. I'm gonna say... Probably also similar to where you do it more often

when you're young. You might do 4 or five in a week. Oh, yeah. Or a weekend, do 10, 12, something like that. Okay, on one weekend you do that many. Oh, easily, yeah. You said it used to be like $10 per jump. That was our training jumps.

Yeah, I think a normal jumper would pay $25, and I think a jump ticket costs, I don't know, $40, $50. It's insane. Just for, like, the tandem jump? No, that's if you are a skydiver to get hauled up in an airplane. Tandem's going to be a couple hundred bucks. Yeah, tandem's usually $150 to $250, depending on video and all the things you can buy with it.

Are you, like, a trained, like, could you take one of us on a tandem? No, I can't do that. My old sky surfing partner would, though. He could do it. He was a tandem master. Like, I'd trust you. You want me to... You want to get strapped to me and go 120 miles an hour?

That's how fast you go? Yeah. I think Rob has sky dove divvied more than this guy's had sex. Maybe. I think. Yeah, I'm going to vote for Rob. I'm going to vote for him. Because I think he can lay it down.

But Rob, have you had sex more than you've skydove? Oh, definitely. Oh, wow. I also believe that. Last week. Might need to get into it. I also believe that. Last week. Might need to get into it. I also believe that. No, no way.

Well, maybe not. I don't know. That'll be a new thing to work on. Absolutely. What? August 8th birthdays. Dan, today is my Marty Turco plus Roman Turek birthday. What do you got, Rob?

He was born on 8-8-88. Cool. That is cool. I think Blake didn't mean it, though. I did. I like that stuff. I mean, I'm 8-5-85. My daughter's 1-9-1-9.

Makes it very simple. My daughter's 6-5-4. That's good, too. That is good. The other daughter's just a mutant. She does nothing That is good. The other daughter's just a mutant. She does nothing. Nothing good. Now that you've made it out California way,

I hope you found the same relief that Randy Marsh did. You just walk into the RV and it looks like that trailer. Gross. Yeah, you guys go to practice. I'll tidy up in here. So that's another reason why the hotel room might be a better idea. Because I was thinking it last night. You can do it.

And I was like... Lock the door. But I can hear Matt out there. Put headphones in. Why are you so okay with that? Why do you want me to rail one? Yeah. Because I know he wants to do you want me to rail one? Yeah. Because I know he wants to and I want him to be happy.

And I was thinking, oh, wait, gosh, there's no government restriction on that here. But then the guys are downstairs. Yeah, can we not do that? Just loosen up. In the house? A little late, but why don't we? No wonder you went to your room at 6.30. I had stuff to watch.

I had Hard Knocks and... Nobody in here does House of Dragon, huh? No. I'm solo on that one completely. So that's what he used. Yeah. Oh, wow. Oh, Dragon!

My leaders are Danny Bayless, TC, and triple checking the audio that you must have a backup to the backup tampon. What? I don't know. Oh, the same way. Anyway, that's from Tim. Waymo, by the way, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin, and Phoenix. So you guys have to try it. No.

Oh. But you guys could park down there. There's a train also. I don't know if it comes back at night. Can we get a Waymo to Ventura? No. Oh. Probably L.A. proper.

Hey, Dan, today is my brother Tim Schwartz. Maybe this is the same guy. His Sergei Zuboff minus Ed Belfort birthday. He was born on 8-8-88. What was the other guy's name? Wouldn't that be one way to... The other guy's name was Tim. So it could be the same guy.

Probably the same guy. I'm betting. Are you saying there's zero chance that we have two Tims listening to us that were born on 8-8-88? Yes. And the fact that both of his athletes in both emails were Stars players. Yeah. Will you wish him a DZRVHBD? More Julie, more Dan's daughters.

Mo Puppet from Laura in Austin. Mo Puppet. Hey, Dan, DF number 6681 here, requesting a shout-out for my Corey Seeger plus Jonah Heim birthday. Let's see. You guys are the reason I have a patron. Leaders are Dan's Dad Jokes, Blake's commitment to not touching grass,

and Jake's questionable love for Chuck E. Cheese pizza. Fun fact for Jake. Chuck E. Cheese got in some hot water a few years ago, along with some other restaurants, for selling food on DoorDash under different names to trick consumers into ordering from local businesses instead of chains. I'm well aware. That's funny.

Chuck E. Cheese operated under the name Pasquale Pizza and Wings, which is, of course, the name of the famous animatronic Chuck E. Cheese chef. Yep. More Blake and Danny. Shout out to Blake for the work on the weekly wrap-ups from Jesse. You got it, Jesse. And Uncle Hotmail, it is my wife Lindsay birthdays. It's her square root of the O-F-it.

She's 35. Her leader is Blake. I think she'll agree to do a 960 show at our house for my birthday in December solely so she could meet Blake. What's up, Lindsay? She wants to give him a tour of our house so Blake can tell her things we could do to get our house squared away. She wants to give him a tour of our house so Blake can tell her things we could do to get our house squared away. We have a 17-month-old and love hearing Jake and Blake's stories about raising their kids. We would like to hear your thoughts on the leading contender for our... They have a baby to be born in September.

Let's go. Let me hear it. It's a boy. Two under two, huh? Spencer. That's not bad. Spencer McKenzie. That's from D. Two under two, huh? Spencer. That's not bad. Spencer McKenzie. That's from D.F. Richard. Yeah, no.

I mean, that one's been around for a while. It's not too out there. It's very neutral, you know? It doesn't evoke old name like Nora does type thing. Yeah, Spence. Is Nora like popular like a lot of kids are being named Nora these days? I think it's

coming back. Because Carter certainly is. Yeah and I kind of thought that was an old name. That's coming back as a new name. But maybe it's still just a douche name. To me it just sounds like 1800s-y.

Carter? Yeah. Nora certainly does. Carter just, to me, it sounds maybe more as a last name I'm just thinking of. It sounds kind of western-y, but I don't know. Brooks is kind of a cool old name. So anyways, I'm not going to hate on your kid. Yeah.

Spencer. Thumbs up. Here's Jay with the Dumb Zone News. All right. So I've had this story for a couple days. Whoa. A couple days. A couple days.

I didn't get to it. We usually see this at like splash pads. Sometimes you'll see it with kids at lakes, but it is typically the brain-eating amoeba, which I think is one of many reasons Blake will not get in a lake. I believe in that. Kavanaugh said he pooped in Lake Lavon the other day. I don't want to swim in that.

It dissipates. I don't care. So this is the case of a guy named Randy Bunch. He was 66. He was a fisherman. And he was fishing in Freeport, Texas. He waded out into the water. He's crabbing and fishing in Freeport.

Didn't put his waders on. Had flip-flops. Went in to retrieve a crab trap that he had set earlier in the day, but he did not notice that he had a small, days-old scrape on his right foot. His daughter told WFA, it's just a tiny little nick on the top of his foot. I mean, not even an inch. It was tiny. And a few hours later, he got sick, and a few days later, he died.

Dang. The daughter told the news he called me having extreme pain all along the right side of his body. It sounded like heart attack symptoms, so I told him he should probably go into an ER and get it checked out. Doctor couldn't find anything. He was released and goes home. Next morning, he's much worse. 104 fever, lethargic, disoriented, not making sense. Less than 12 hours later, he's in an ICU on a

ventilator. And it's just because he had an open cut in... And what got in it? A bacterial infection. Amistadlinum lakes. Now, in this case, this might have been the ocean, actually, because it was Freeport.

So what I can't ascertain is whether or not the Brazos River, like, runs out to the ocean. And the Brazos River. The Brazos River? Yes, the Brazos River. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I think he was on the river portion right out near the open water. If he's going crabbing, it's got to be closer to that. But, I mean, you get in the ocean, though. Yeah, I have gotten in the ocean before this story. I'll change my whole lifestyle, though, if you give me one story.

The lake thing, I guess I could see. We don't get in in front of or behind where our property is because it's a canal, so it's gross. But once you get out to open water, it's much more, you know, it's 30 feet deep, 25 feet deep. It's not stagnant water. It's moving. There are waves from boats.

No, I have been in a Texas lake. I just don't think I want to again, though. Yeah. I'm with Blake now. And I'm not, like, swimming around. It's typically just like you take the boat out there, and then you get a tube, and you just kind of sit in it and hang out. That's the thing is there's not a lot of payoff for me.

Yeah, that doesn't appeal to me, just sitting in a tube. What for? When you're in the water, it's cool when it's really hot. You can listen to music. You can see nature around you. The low chance you're going to get snakes out in open water. What if I'm inside? It's air-conditioned, big-screen TV, National Geographic Channel.

Love it. What do you got the thermostat at? I can't with these guys, Rob. I can't. Probably like 67. That sounds perfect. I can just go get a drink or some food, pause the TV. Yeah.

Rub one out. I don't even know. Do whatever you want. Can't rub one out on the lake. The world is yours. Probably can't. Just don't even know. Did you ever get a bacterial infection from your house?

No, man. No, I haven't either. He never comes in with a news story like, oh, so-and-so drowned on their couch. Go to Subway, watch King of the Queens or whatever.

Get a waterbed. Have your sanitized life where you never leave anywhere but your house. You never experience anything ever. Oh, here's the guy that went to his room at 6.30 while the sun was up and jerked off in our Airbnb. First of all, I watched Hard Knocks for the show and cut audio, which I don't see either one of you two doing.

You didn't even watch it. You were gaming. We said we were going to watch it. I haven't gamed. Well, I got the audio. And now you get to tell me about Hard Knocks because I haven't seen it. Well, the CrossFit Games are taking place in Fort Worth right now. The first day, I believe, was yesterday.

Actually, maybe this was today because it's later at home right now. So we need a games for working out? This is pretty popular. Sometimes ESPN runs it. So a 28-year-old guy there, this is part of the run and swim event. It was at Marine Creek Lake in Fort Worth. So a 28-year-old guy there, this is part of the run and swim event. It was at Marine Creek Lake in Fort Worth. And he went in, and he never came back up.

You ever drown in your water bed? Another bad lake story. I know. And bad exercise story. Yep. Reasons not to do both. His name, which I'm certainly pronouncing this incorrectly, Lazer Dukic.

Probably Lazar. He's from Serbia. Lazer Dukic? Mm-hmm. He does sound a lot like Luka. Four-time CrossFit Games athlete. The champion in several competitions. Yeah, I don't know, man.

What if Aha Wilson was in CrossFit? I bet she'd win them all, too. Still Asia. They recovered his body at the lake. He was last seen swimming about 100 meters from the end of an 800-meter swim that followed a three-and-a-half-mile half mile run now here's what i find interesting about this could be wrong and that this is not uniform but my dad used to do like many triathlons so he never did the full crazy thing but it was i think it was like a half marathon and i think it was everything in half

so whatever they would do maybe his swim was 400, if this is 800. They would make you swim first because it's the only place you're going to die. Okay. You don't want to be as tired as you're going to be on the whole thing. Right. You want, like, the freshest thing to be the swimming. Is it swimming, running, biking? I think so.

Because that would make sense. I believe that's what it is, yeah. And I remember, actually, when my dad was probably... At home, we do the sitting, walking, eating. That's how you like it? Yeah. I remember my dad going to get his heart checked out because a guy that he had been in some like mini triathlons with maybe two or three weeks before one my dad was gonna do he drowned like

a guy in his mid-50s super fit and just had a heart attack in the water and drowned during a triathlon and then my dad went in and they're like yeah if you would have swam in this you probably would have had a heart attack also. You had to get like stints, which I still don't really know what those are, but swimming's dangerous, man. Don't swim, folks. Whether it's Fort Worth or France,

we don't swim. It's also really good for you though, right? I know, it's so good for you. I used to like doing it at the Grapevine Rec. Yeah, me too. I'd go do some laps. It's a nice pool. We'll do one more here. We have the finalists for the Big Tex Choice Awards

at the State Fair of Texas. You ever go swimming with a glass of chocolate milk on your head? I don't think I can pull that off. I'm not Katie. No, I mean, I enjoyed doing it for the exercise, but I was horrible at it. Like, the old people would just lap me. I was thinking that if I were going to get into it for real, I would honestly need, like, one lesson. Or at least watch a YouTube video.

Yeah, I was... Because I swim the way that you swim to just D around, you know? Yeah, I was fighting water. But to, like, minimize your... Like you're doing the doggy paddle? Yeah, and that's not great for you physically, right? Like, you want to be able to coordinate, you know, opposite hand, opposite leg, all that.

Let's see here. You're taking throwing lessons, and now you want swimming lessons. Oh, I have a whole thing. I think I'm going to do basketball next. Like, you're taking all these things you should have done when you were six. Yes. And I can tell you, like, we can throw at some point when I get back next week or tonight, you might be kind of beat.

It's not good, but I can tell you it's definitely different than if the first time you saw me throw and you were like, what the hell was that? You're ready to show us progress? I mean, okay, so my normal throwing motion was probably something along this line. Very elbow-led. Right. Yeah. And really the whole thing is just get the elbow up and come around. There you go. Just. Very elbow-led. Right. And really, the whole thing is

just get the elbow up and come around. Just get the elbow up and come around. Yeah. Okay. Come around. Alright. So Big Tech's Choice Awards. Let's go through a couple of these. The fair starts on September 27th. I swear to God it was here last month.

Don't you feel like the fair is something that has like a one-month run? It's like the WNBA draft. A three-month buildup and then a two-month postgame so that it essentially is just always in the news? It's like soccer. There's always a season. Let's see here.

So I don't really know what the word Fritura means, but I should have Googled it beforehand. It is... Probably something like with the fritos. Yeah, sweet corn fritters. It's a Latino dish, it appears here. And they describe

this as, starting with fritura cheese and Dominican salami, the dog, this is like a hot dog, is in double deep fried, split open, and topped with plantain. Oh, this stuff is good. Frutturi? Yes. And top secret Dominican sauce.

You know, I was thinking about this the other night, whenever, actually it was the other day when we were talking about hot dogs out here. The hot dog has gotten a bad name. There's a way to make a good hot dog. There's a way to make a good hot dog. There's a way to make a good anything.

But at its base, it's not good. You get a real sausage, first of all. But, I mean, I think I've told you about this, Dan. In Chile, they have four or five different types of hot dogs that they call completos. The main one, which I know you'd be out on, but just to let you know, it's a little bit better than just buying a ballpark dog. It's a really solid piece of meat, like sausage, with a French bread bun.

They put avocado spread or guacamole on it. They put chopped tomatoes, mayonnaise, and usually, like, a little bit of cheese. I think in America, you don't get the tricked up hot dog as much. So we just think of it as, oh, white bread bun, end of the entrails hot dog, mustard or sausage. But it should not be discounted as a food in general.

You can make something out of that, even if it's with like a Beyond Dog. But nobody does. Nobody does. Even if it's with, like, a Beyond Dog. But nobody does. Nobody does. Taquitos. The drowning taquitos are served in a cup with tangy cream sauce, jalapeno, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, avocado, tomatillo, pico, and tortilla cheese.

You know what? I don't even want to read the rest of these. You know why? Because it's all the same. It's disgusting. The fare sucks anyway. Kids like it, though. Kids are dumb. They'll like anything.

But a live animal, they like that. Yeah, yeah. It's a good time kill. But it's also, like, hot outside. It's a million degrees. I'll tell you this. HSO, Stockyards, Stock Show, way better than the fair. Just do that? Yeah, because it, way better than the fair. Just do that?

Yeah, because it's animals and way more animals. And if you want to do a ride, you can. It's cheaper. It's in Fort Worth. You ever worry about diseases from the animals? Are you asking me? Yeah. Okay, you're not worried about anything in life.

No, I'm just not worried about that. Okay. The IRS? You're worried about that. Yeah. There she is. about that. Okay. The IRS? You're worried about that. Yeah. There's news. The Dumb Zone News.

I'm on it, boys. Like and subscribe. The Dumb Zone presents Today in History.

I think Video Man's going to try. Okay. We're going to keep an eye on where it is? Yeah. We've still got 15 minutes. Okay. We're going to see if we need to break into this and air today's Mike McCarthy press conference.

Like you've never heard before. I don't know. Maybe you've heard it. Stop. But the whole, we're trying stuff out. Right, honey? Come on, let's try this. I've heard it doesn't hurt that bad.

How does that go? We've been together. It's my birthday. Patrons, we've been together for a while now. It's my birthday week. We just want to try this out. Yeah, it's my birthday week. So your wife and kid are coming for the weekend? Yes, which I prepared for you guys to make fun

of me. Is it about your birthday week though? Are you going to be trying to hold on to that or do they not? No, dude. It's just because we're out here. School starts Wednesday. We had a ton of points, so we just used them. No, it has nothing to do with my birthday. Just daughter or both kids? Both kids. And Kristen has some half-sisters that are a little bit younger. I know. Because her dad got younger at that position, and one of them is coming with us to help us out.

She's super cool, and the kids love her. It's like having a nanny. You pay for her flight out there and give her a bedroom at the place and we kind of have one. I'm always amazed at people that do that. Have a nanny? Yeah, that have a nanny and they travel with them. It seems so weird to me, man.

Seems awesome. If you can do it, do it. I remember when Nora played soccer the one season, like noticing who was a nanny. And I'm not going to go any further on that. But I knew. Like the nanny has to go to the game? The 7.30 kick.

Mom and dad couldn't get here for this one. Mom rolls in like 30 minutes later. Huge glasses, Stanley Cup. See, that's another thing. Gone out the night before. Another way we've spoiled our kids is by going to all their shit. Like, I remember the one baseball game my dad ever went to. And mom would never, like, we would just ride there together.

Did you guys? Yeah, my parents were at most of my stuff. But I remember thinking it was weird. But nowadays we're at everything all the time. My dad, dude, my dad would drive up from Houston. Parents will set up the lawn chairs and stuff for practice. That's what I was going to say is that I remember there were two or three kids on my teams whose parents were always at practice. Yeah.

And I thought that was so weird. And definitely did not fault my mom or dad for not being at practice. I'm like, don't you have a job and another kid? Yes, they did think that other kid was more important. We're going to nurture this one. Let's get that free college. So today is Thursday, August 8th. On this day in 1974, President Richard Nixon was facing damaging new revelations in the Watergate scandal, announced he would resign the following day. It's kind of funny if you read about that now. Like nothing in that, they would never resign now, right?

No. But I also think it's funny when you say, I'm going to resign tomorrow. So like one more night. One last day. It's like Biden, kind of. Kind of. I'm not really into this anymore. Can I still be president?

But he was, yeah. I know what you mean, though. He just bowed out of the race saying, I still am doing some president stuff. But if you're president for one more night and you're with your wife, are you like, all right, honey, one more time, right? You're in the bedroom, baby. Yeah. 1988, this was the first night game scheduled at Wrigley Field ever.

74-year history of Wrigley Field. This was when I was a little kid. That was a big debate. They were trying to pass laws that there would never be a night game. Yeah. At Wrigley Field. I mean, it's in a neighborhood. It kind of was going great until the Cubs got good.

So blame the Indians and their trade, perhaps, of Rick Sutcliffe midseason. Got so much Rick Sutcliffe run on this week's offer. I don't remember when else we mentioned him. I mean, your frame of reference to describing your friendship with a childhood friend was, we grew up together, we both loved Rick Sutcliffe. Oh, that was off the air. I said off the air.

Yeah, I just feel like I've heard that name, you know, more than I have any other week in my life. Yeah, my buddy Joe. Anyway, yes, they got good, and now they're a playoff team, and the networks would not show them in prime time. Well, they couldn't. Yeah. But they wanted to because that was a big draw.

They had become a big deal on WGN nationwide, and that was kind of the sexier game was to put the Cubs on. And then the fear was, man, if they make the World Series, what are we going to do? We can't be airing day games of the World Series. That's going to hurt us financially. Was that when they had Roman Garden? What's that?

What did you just laugh at? Is there a joke I just missed? Yeah. That's a Rookie of the Year reference. I think that's his sign of he's tired of this story. No, I just didn't know if that's when they had Roman Gardner. Oh, anyway, we have to do this again tomorrow because

heavy rain started falling in the bottom of the fourth inning and they had to call the game, so it didn't even count. This didn't exist. This is the day in 1992 that the U.S. Olympic basketball team Dream Team won the gold medal. How many

players can you name, Blake? Michael Jordan. Charles Barkley. Patrick Ewing. It doesn't matter. Come on, let's do this. This is fun. Is this the team Christian Laettner was on? Yes.

Christian Laettner. You said Jordan, Ewing, Laettner. Barkley. Barkley. Malone. Malone. Tell him if he's wrong on any. Not wrong yet.

Yeah, I'm out of steam. Okay. Bird. You're not looking it up here. No, I'm typing them steam. Okay. Bird. You're not looking it up here? No, I'm typing them out. Bird. Magic. Stockton.

Magic is correct. Stockton, sure. Clyde. Yep. I had the Clyde Drexler Dream Team jersey. I think we just need three more. Hakeem? No.

No, he wouldn't. He's not from here. Yeah, but I didn't know if, I mean, neither is Joel Embiid. Okay, well, that's all I can give you. Ewing. He did Ewing. Oh, he did? Okay.

Then only two more, I guess. Pippen. Ah. Dang it. And Chris Mullen. Ah, ah, times two. Man, I loved my... That was like an early version of me trying to be cool and be hipster.

Loving Chris Mullen? No, Clyde. He's like, I know you guys love Jordan. Okay. I'm more of a Clyde the Glad guy. And I was like, nobody cares. Yeah, it's... Tool.

And on this day in 2017, President Donald Trump said, Continued North Korean threats aimed at the United States would cause the U.S. to respond with fire and fury like the world has never seen. Okay. Alert Rich Phillips. Those were fun days to just hear. Maybe they're not over. Maybe they're not over. Maybe they're not over. Other birthdays today.

Jared Stidham, 28. Damn. Name the starter. For who? Broncos. He's starting? Yeah. Dang. He was committed to Texas Tech. Who did they draft this year? Did they draft a quarterback?

Bo Nix. And they also have Zach Wilson. That's right, the Drew Locktree. No. Different trade. But anyways, yeah. Committed to Tech. Either his girlfriend broke up with him or he broke up with his girlfriend. She was going to Tech.

Then he decommitted and went to Baylor. He went to Stephenville. Then he left there, right? Stephenville? No, Baylor. He went to Stephenville. Then he left there, right? Stephenville? No, Baylor. He did. Stephenville, though, Blake? Yellow Jackets. Come on. Let's go. Brian Seip is 75, former Browns quarterback.

He was the MVP in 1980. Statline? Do you think that was about to carry you into a decade of success? For sure. And he was a 13th round draft pick. 13. Auburn, that's right. Pretty sweet, huh?

No. What do you mean no? That sounds horrible. You wouldn't like to be doing day seven of the draft? No. Okay, he threw 30 touchdowns that year. Wow. He almost had a 30-30 year if you look at his stats a couple years prior to that.

28 and 26? Yeah. Yeah. Almost pulled a Jameis. Is Jameis the only 30-30 ever? I believe so. Yeah. What a year.

Yeah, dude. We didn't give that enough recognition. His final pass was a pick six in overtime. To give him 30 interceptions. Because I'm horny to play this, just pull me up and I'm going to see if I can play it off Twitter. I'll get the full press conference for, uh, for tomorrow, but this is the one that's been going viral this morning. Jameis. I think that's one of the things that a lot of people forget when you can go out, you can see practice, you can knickknack this, that paddy whack, give a dog a bone.

Sean Watson is going to turn it on. He always going to find a way to shine when the lights come on. Oh, is he a brown? Yeah, dude. Oh, my gosh. You forgot about that? Yeah. No, that was the happiest news I've ever delivered to you. It was like, man.

Remember we played the video of him taking snaps on a suit? Yeah, in the weight room with the new center, and he was mimicking a drop back. He's being goofy. You can knick-knack this, that, patty-whack, give a dog a bone. That makes no sense. Boy, what if we had Jameis here? Wouldn't that be great? He'd do it, too.

My brother knows him. Roger Federer is 43. Anthony Rizzo is 35. Used to be good. Ken Dryden is 77. He is a former goalie, and he has a book called... I forgot. The Game?

Cool. Anyway, it's a fantastic book. I can't remember who... Some sports people I respect said that's the greatest sports book they ever read. So I read it and it was great. I don't know if it's called The Game. That doesn't sound right. Why would a goalie do that?

Ken Dryden. It is called The Game. Oh, pro wrestler Sable is 57. Ken Dryden was in the Canadian House of Commons, like their parliament. What does that mean? He's like a congressman?

Yeah, basically. Sable, again, RIP to mini socks. Do you know this one? Olympic runner Susie Favre-Hamilton is 56. Do I? I don't know. I swear this lady's having like four birthdays a year now. Aha Wilson is 28. How many positions

in men would you say were at once? Las Vegas Aces coach? No, she's a player, isn't she? No, the Aces coach no she's a player isn't she no the Aces Aces coach is Becky Hammond okay I'm just testing you well I would suggest

you not starting by testing me with a two time W champion who's going to the Hall of Fame three minutes supposedly we're gonna have

McCarthy but you know what we could just keep doing this too but listen to McCarthy Two minutes. Supposedly we're going to have McCarthy. But you know what? We could just keep doing this too. But listen to McCarthy. Damn, they got food up there too right now. I know. You want to get over there?

Yeah, kind of. Is it B-dubs? Yeah. Should we not do McCarthy here? No, we should. You just go, Jake. I mean, if he had not left his lunch at home, we could continue to do the show. If he wants to leave to go eat, it's fine. Was it Looney Tunes where somebody would walk through a field and there were just rakes everywhere?

Yeah. That's how I feel over the last 48 hours. It was fine at first, but now it's like every step. Dustin Hoffman is 87. He had some antique Me Too's. Rain Man? Way back in the day? Is that what that means?

Antique Me Too? Yeah. Do you want me to read it to you? Yeah. Okay, so this is... Death of a Salesman time. So what is that, like late 80s? Jeez, it sounds like 60s to me.

I mean, the book, obviously. We're really, really old. But the movie. Anyways, 1985 is the movie. There's a woman who, this is during Me Too, she came forward. She said, Dustin Hoffman sexually harassed me when I was 17. He was super flirtatious. He grabbed my ass.

He talked about sex to me. And in front of me one morning I went to his dressing room to take his breakfast order. He looked at me and grinned taking his time. Then he said I'll have a hard boiled egg and a soft boiled clitoris. Oh my gosh. His entourage

burst out laughing. I left speechless. Then I went to the bathroom and cried. It doesn't even really make sense. That one's pretty low level. Me too. It's still a weird thing to say to a 17-year-old assistant. It's a weird thing to say to anybody. Boy, all he was able to do was squat over it.

I don't know. I never really got it. Oh, man. Oh. That coming from Rain Man. Yeah. I want to make sure I get in a couple before McCarthy hits here. There's no way he's going to be on time.

Drew Lachey, 48. 98 degrees. Brother of Nick, who is a pot connoisseur. Or his pot entrepreneur would be a better way to put it, right? He bought up a bunch of farms in Ohio. I think they're Cincy boys. And was married, of course, to Jessica Simpson. I read her book.

I'm glad you did. It was great content. The Edge is 63. You too? You too. Oh, my God. Disgusting. Larry Wilcox from Chips is 77.

You ever watch Chips? Oh, yeah. The motorcycle highway patrol thing? He's the cop that's not Eric Estrada. Yeah, I watched that show a lot growing up. It was on Nick at Night. It was always on when I came home from school type thing.

So you'd watch it. Not a lot of options. Anton Fig, 71. 71? I think he was in Letterman's Band or something, wasn't he? Was he in Bruises Band, too, maybe? No, Max is. Robin Quivers is 72.

Howard. And Scott Stapp is 51. So funny, dude. What a career. Forever intertwined with the Dallas Cowboys and Thanksgiving. Yes, that's a good video. His halftime show where they were like, I don't even know how to describe him. You've seen the video.

Did he like fly in? No, it wasn't him, but they had another, one of the performance artists was on like a big curtain thing and flew in with their arms out. They were like kind of Man Group-y.

Look, that was Charlotte's vision. I support her. I've seen the Blue Man Group. Not surprised, but also I would do that. How was it? Great. I think it would be cool, yeah. It was really, really cool.

You think there's a lot of doing it as they travel? Because you know it rotates, right? It's like a company in plays and stuff. They replace and replenish the... The blue men? The blue men and women. Are there blue women? I bet there are.

Now, you've got to do that with everything, right? Yeah. Tell me about it. Ghostbusters. Bosses. Born on the Stay Now Dead, John Facenda. The Chicago Bears. NFL Films.

Yes, that's... That was cool. The Bears are leaning into history, of course. For sure. We'll do that tomorrow. For hard knocks. Because there's not much to lean into now. The monsters of the midway.

Yeah, I do want to talk about that. It's cool. Bob Smith. Don't know it. The founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. Oh, Bob's big book. Then you have Dead on this Day, Still Dead. Speaking of Rain Man, Fergus McMaster.

I think it's this airline's in Rain Man. Founder of Qantas Airlines. Okay, that's a deep cut, but I like it. Is that in Rain Man? Yeah. Are you a big Rain Man guy or no? I've seen it, but... Oh, okay. Yeah, I mean, I've seen it a couple times. That's what Rain Man would say. Safest airline is Qantas. They had to find a

Qantas flight because they had never had an accident. Sure. Weren't they due? You need to argue with Rain Man on that one. Also died on this day in 1991, James Irwin.

You've never heard of him, right? No. James Irwin? Yeah. You should have. Fourth man on the moon. He's the eighth man to ever walk on the moon. Eighth?

That's not even a semifinal. Dude, there's only been like ten. All right, cool. You think he walks around like, hey, I'm James Irwin. You're like the alligator guy? No, I've been on the moon. Okay, dude. Sure you have.

Dude, I got a moon jacket. Where did they all get them? If they don't, they probably get them custom made. You'd have to think. Lame. Hey, tomorrow, can you guys remind me to talk about those people? What people? Dan brought it up the other day, and we haven't done it.

Oh, yeah. We do need to talk about the fact that these idiots aren't coming home until at least next year from space. It's drug on blogging up. Okay, now you're saying we should do that? I thought it was like wrapping up. Now they're actually saying it's going to be next year, and that got me very interested.

Do you think they're doing it up there? Is it a guy and a girl? Is it? Yeah. Yeah, why not? Yeah, bro. What happens in space? Has there been sex in space?

Because they experiment on everything. Hmm. I don't know, dude, but that would be an extremely unruly pull-out. You're just like, boop. What? Catch it, catch it, catch it. Get it. Bing.

Put it back. Put it back in. You have a net? You might need a net. Yeah. It looks like mercury. Yeah, exactly. And you also, you've been up there probably seven months. Oh, so much.

Yeah. So you're trying to aim at something. Do you think there's a... No, move your face. Do you think there's a... No, move your face. Do you think they have the... It's settled down. The blocker? The blocker? Like Abbott put the blocker on the porn. Oh, up there?

Do you think they have full access? Probably not, no. Like seriously, do you have to clean the pipes now and again when you're up there? You're just by yourself. This article says sex in space is highly discouraged. And as far as we know, it's never happened. Like, okay. Why is it highly?

But seriously, they've kind of, like, experimented everything. Well, let's see if this will grow. Let's see if this will happen. I don't know. I think we should. Because what if, like, the first ever baby conceived in space? That person will be popular, right? Or famous. Yeah, and then they get, like...

I guess up to a point. They'd get really good at a sport, and then it'd be a huge controversy, you know? And then everybody would be going, like, I got it conceived in space. Yeah. Oh, that's great. Like, your kids might have sex in space. Think about that. No.

Oh, also died on this day, still dead, Faye Ray. She was an actress. She was in the original King Kong. That's how I know who she was. But I don't think she was in anything else. Growing up. Were you stoked on that?

King Kong was always on Thanksgiving. Like, you know, when there was not very many TV channels, that would just be one of the things that was always on, and so we'd watch it every year at Thanksgiving. And now we watch... Human Centipede. That's right. Three.

John H. Johnson died on this day. He's the founder of Ebony and Jet magazines. So he's kind of a one-trick pony if you think about it. Bobby Bowden. Kind of a sleazeball who skated on it forever. Well, what about every college coach of that era? Yeah, but I mean, they're not all as bad as him.

What did he do? I just remember him being... First of all, I think he was pretty close with Paterno. Okay. Guilt by association there. But I just... He was always being... It felt there He was always being investigated It felt like he was always being investigated for this or that

Same with Jimmy Back then they investigate you for what? Investigating me for what? Investigate for what? And Olivia Newton-John Oh, Grease Oh, Grease That's right Sandy on. Ooh, grease. Ugh. Ooh, grease! That's right.

Sandy. That's right, Blake. I was trying to kill more times to get us to McCarthy. Because it's now 3.08. Are we still live streaming? Yeah. We did it. Video man did it.

Video man did it. Yeah, we wanted to experiment just to see if we could. Oh, it. Video man did it. Video man did it. Yeah, we wanted to experiment just to see if we could. Oh, it looks like McCarthy's coming up now. Football. So let's take a listen. All right. All right, good afternoon. Hey, good afternoon to you, Coach.

For those of us that are joining from L.A., just our process of sliding down, let us know who you are and what platform you're with, just our process to slide you down. Let us know who you are and what platform you're with and I'll follow you. Okay? Thank you. You got it, Tad.

David? Mike, David Moore, Dallas Morning News. We haven't had a chance to ask you yet just what format will you and Sean be following today and how will it kind of be broken up? I mean, it's a similar form to a couple years ago.

So I think the biggest thing is, you know, to get the quality work. I think, you know, got a couple move the ball drills. I'd like to see McVay standing next to him. Special teams will have two segments. We'll finish with a two-minute segment. Hope Mike doesn't get hungry. I just really want to cover, you know, the whole area of the field and just get, you just get good quality work.

Clarence Hill, 4 Star Telegram. Will you hold anybody out for injury or safety reasons? Can you talk about players you make? Yeah, I mean, the guys that are scheduled to practice will practice. I don't have my injury list here, but similar to two days ago. There'll be nobody like Michael who will be held out for cross-country racing? No, if they're healthy, they'll participate.

Yeah. Mask on. With Dak Prescott unlikely to play in the preseason, what do you want to see from him in this practice? Well, I just want to see him go out and have another good day. I think Dak's having an excellent camp. You know, when we look at our

offense versus our defense, we've been lining up against Mike Zimmer's defense, so this is a different system similar to Dan's defense in the past. It'll be really good to get the defensive looks that we're going to see today.

Just go out and be productive and have a hell of a day. With Diggs doing some seven-on-seven, will that be pretty similar in this? No. You know, he'll probably – I don't know if it's worth us playing this. Yeah. This seems to suck.

Yeah, it does suck. Calvin Watkins, Dallas Morning News. Some of your younger receivers, how important is it to see them progressing the system like this? Yeah, definitely. I think it's just like any other team. You've got a I think it's just like evolution of a player. You know, you have your off-season program. They get to go out in OTAs and, you know,

especially the way things are structured now. I like his hat. Seven on sevens and, you know, so the perimeter guys get to show what they can do there. It's pretty cool. Which is why it drives me insane that they let that weirdo teal and royal blue sneak in during the season. It should all be those colors.

Maybe you have another level of success, but now to get to go against an uncommon opponent in a competitive arena. So, yeah, this is definitely one of the practices. It is. I'm going to agree with you, and I don't think you're saying it just because you want to go get Buffalo Wild Wings. No, that's not it. Do you think it's still available? I mean, I'll get through to warm up one way or the other. We've got time.

We've got 50 minutes until the pads pop. I'm sad. Sorry. What you see from the Rams, do you look at things that's like maybe these are some things that you might want to – concepts you might want to take or something like that, or do you just kind of view it as one side versus the other? Yeah, I mean, this isn't really for.

He wouldn't tell him if he was, right? I don't view this practice as that. I think, you know. Good little question, though. Good job, Saad. February, March is for. Saad. We do, you know, we do studies, you know, league studies.

You know, we break down the different teams that excel in certain situations. Are we going to go hang with Saad at all? Obviously, Sean has done some great things. What do you mean? Like today? Some of his action-pass games. He's down here. He's got his set of focus points, too.

We're both guys that are a little quick and so forth. We really just want to see our guys go play. This whole staying on schedule thing. The respect that you've mentioned that you have for him as a coach, just, you know, what goes into doing these joint practices and, you know, coming together and having that respect? Is he annoying him on purpose? I just think just like anything, you know,

player safety is still at the forefront of every decision you make. I'll give any one of you $1,000 right now if you go down there and ask him whether or not he thinks trans-academy should be able to compete in the Olympics. That's a good one. Part of why I'm doing it at the L.A. Rams. So you've got the Rams in here today, and they're a competitive team. But with the Olympics. We're wasting time because I feel very strongly our offensive defense should men be able to

fight women in the Olympics each other so and I think our practice has been of high quality to date so you know we're looking for the same thing today Dr. Walker Dallas Cowboys.com you talk about overshown and John Stevens and you know how they go through their warm-up is going to dictate their rep count especially with the preseason game coming up on Sunday. But what are you looking for from this joint practice, from those two guys specifically coming up? To be honest with you, I just want to see them take the next step,

get out there and compete. These are wastes of time. Nobody is really asking anything that's – The opening press conference at the start of camp with Jerry and Steven, maybe. Parcells, maybe. Lucky Whitehead gets cut, maybe. But outside of this.

But pregame stuff always sucks. Like a postgame press conference maybe. I want to apologize to everyone. Like I had just seen all this stuff that's happened and now I'm going to ask you about it. You're going to explain this and that. But now you're like conjecture on what might happen. And now it's kind of like also this little... It's not a de-measuring contest, but it is like if...

You've got to think Calvin Lofkin's his boss. But here's that Clarence Hill asked a question. So if he doesn't hear Calvin ask a question after that, it's like, well, were you there even? Yeah. Well, yeah, but actually somebody else asked my question. I think, number one, you know, leaving Dallas, you know, the weather. Do you want to just bail because it sucks?

Yeah, kind of. You know, we have no limitations. All right. Well, oh, you know, we forgot to play today. Let's play something better to end. Already DeMarcus Ware and Miles Austin, they've been out with hamstring strains. Both of them said yesterday, we're good to go.

So you can plan on both of those guys being ready to go against the New York Giants. Now a couple guys that won't in preseason game number four. The Dallas Cowboys presentation. Get ready for Cowboys Dolphins here on Dallas Cowboys. The Dallas Cowboys presentation. I mean, you could pick anyone. They're all pretty good.

On Dallas Cowboys. Welcome to the city. All right. Well, sorry that McCarthy thing sucked. Well, we know not to do it anymore. We're trying. Yeah, we had to just try something. Whatever.

Sorry, honey. I know it hurt, but. It was my birthday. Adios, mofo. We got to go before this becomes a zoo. Thank you for watching my video. Subscribe and type for my name if you want to watch moreboys training camp. The Dunn's own crew taking it to the next level,
