Hey, that's solid right there. Flooring Direct, Dan, Flooring Direct, DFW.com slash DZ.
Starting point is 00:00:42 We're out here at a hotel adjacent to the ballpark doing our show today. It's a nice hotel. They've been very hospitable to us, but these floors are trash. Yeah. This is just old-timey garbage floors, not the sort of styles you're going to get. when flooring direct comes directly to you what if we called them had them come out give us a free consultation kind of look at these floors and we actually just paid for this conference
Starting point is 00:01:08 room to be different i would do that with flooring direct the deals are that good they are yeah what if someone else came in here and tried to beat that offer uh they would then match that offer match it or beat it yeah they can hey i'm fresh out of cash though you know until like it's free until they're, you know, paying you to put their floor. That's almost what they're doing, Dan, because they got 36 months, zero interest, financing, nothing down. Do not wait. This back-to-school offer will not last.
Starting point is 00:01:38 They are not letting kids into schools until their floors are replaced. Or out of schools. Or out of schools. Because they're back at school. Right. And you don't want them to come back home to some old dirt floor or whatever you got going there, right? I shudder at the thought.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Well, got a flowing direct. It's FFW.com slash DZ. Our pros are the nicest. We've got the best prices at Foring Direct. Yeah. Hello, friends are all right, oh, right, on Wednesday. Why are we doing a show on business Wednesday? Getaway day.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Because your brewers are in town. Truck day. The brewer are in town. Boy, really not what they were expecting, is it? Little rascals. Get smacked in the face. Some Rangers fans are about to get lucky tonight. You don't want to mess with M. Hellman when he's hot.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Find out. M. Helman, New Ranger. Find out. It's very exciting. Had a conversation with the guy in the elevator on the way up. Because he saw my Ranger jersey. So he's like, hey, did they win last night? We're across the street from the ballpark.
Starting point is 00:03:26 And luckily, I was well prepared for this show, and I said, yes. What was the score? Like, this guy's now, I'm like, what else is he going to ask me? Am I going to have to tell him the player of the game and maybe give a rundown for Mr. Hat? Well, yeah, why stop with sports? I gave him the score. Hey, what was in the birthday book? Just get a phone.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Leave me alone. He goes, yeah. Yeah, then he proceeded to tell me how he's from Charlotte, and now he's a Rangers fan, and they went to game one in the first game. Yeah, I don't know how this happened to me. This is how they should let seniors execute themselves. Giving talk to me?
Starting point is 00:04:06 Jersey gives talk to me. That's the problem. As cool as I think jerseys are, jerseys give talk to me. And the black undershirt, you know. What is blue? Is it? It's kind of blue. I wear my blue shoes to match everything.
Starting point is 00:04:20 I thought you guys would be so impressed with me today and then right away, right away. This guy with that dirty cable that he plugs his computer into is going to start criticizing me. No, you look good. You're giving small talk. Yeah. So we are at the Lowe's Hotel that's across the street, not the Lowe's live.
Starting point is 00:04:42 We talked to a, yeah. Why are there two hotels called Lowe's right here? We talked to a hotel employee that said. I'm going to go on. We're the Lawn and Garden Suite. We're not live by Lowe's. We're the Lowe's Hotel. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:57 But you could also get a room over there. We're the recorded Lowe's. Don't be an idiot. Anyway, we're at the Lowe's Hotel. We're crossing the ballpark. We're actually starting to show at 10 a.m. today because we are hosting the Dumb Zone Day at the ballpark for year number two. You were not at year number one. No, I was not.
Starting point is 00:05:20 And you were sorely, sorely missed. I don't even know that he wasn't there. Do you remember that? I had a great time. It was definitely one of the things that when I got out and I asked about, I'm like, man, it must have just been every other person asking you about it. Blake's like, no. They were just happy to.
Starting point is 00:05:38 I'm like, yeah, but, you know, I didn't get the sports scores. The Rangers must have been really fighting for a playoff spot that was a hotly content. No? I think they almost got no hit that day. Yeah, they did. They did. Blue Chase? I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Yes. Well, that's what I remember of it. Anyway, that was year two. This is year two. That was year one. And year one, we didn't have any bit attached to it. So you have brought Bit, suggestion at least. And I followed up.
Starting point is 00:06:08 So the Rangers only allow, they allow you to bring food into the ballpark. But because we live in a Big Brother world now that's got. to be like in a clear plastic bag and it's quart-sized which is not as big as you think I thought it would be bigger anyway I brought a quart of food I wanted to show you oh please it is salmon I mean what do you what do you think he got you think he's has some pop popcorn shrimp in there broccoli yes it is a salmon and rice salmon broccoli and rice stuffed into this court bag and you have your little heater
Starting point is 00:06:50 I don't have the heater to keep it cool I'll probably just eat at room temperature unless I can find a microwave here at the hotel yeah I'm sure they've got one you guys want to get a room do it real quick after the show I have a crock pot in my car
Starting point is 00:07:05 and a huge thing of soup so we'll figure out maybe in the break just at least so you brought a bag of soup well I brought several bags And then I bought... You actually brought a crock pot? Yeah. And a huge vat of soup.
Starting point is 00:07:19 But, yeah, I figured we'll work that out in the break. I wanted Clayton and Blake to have lunch. No time for that garbage right now, though, because joining us, we have Rangers royalty. We have Dave Raymond and his rival, Jared Sandbrice. Yay, Dave. Wow, got the people going. Literally reading it off a list. They've got Dave Raymond.
Starting point is 00:07:49 That's right. I had to make sure who it was. Anyway, yeah, we're doing the, we're bringing, we all brought food to the ballpark. I brought this. Hopefully we'll have, that is salmon and broccoli and rice. What else you're going to eat for lunch?
Starting point is 00:08:01 Is that for meaties? Yes. That was chef craft. There you go. That's what I know. Yeah. So, do you know he's, it's like 99.8%? consistency with lunch items.
Starting point is 00:08:16 It's the same every day. If there's lunch, I'm going to be eating salmon and broccoli and rice. Every single day. Okay. We're just trying to stay regular? I mean, I don't want to get too personal, but. You know, we got a time. We got a schedule worked out.
Starting point is 00:08:30 We got our daily visitor. 2.30 meeting? Dave Raymond, last time. I don't know if it was last time I saw you, but you had told me you're into the healthy eating a little bit too. I do like to help you. You show me a documentary. What was that?
Starting point is 00:08:47 God, yeah, what was that? It was like just about not eating bad stuff and I watched it and it just frightened me to eat anything in the world. It wasn't the Brian Johnson guy who's trying to live to be 120 in measures and his son's boners. Well, there was a boner measurement
Starting point is 00:09:02 in this one, yeah. They had some guys eating meat and then they had other guys just going straight vegetarian and then maybe there was a control group something and they did blood flow at night i don't know if they measured the fully right presented where where the blood would flow but yeah right but the bottom line is the blood flows a lot better right and literally overnight so in other words take your diet whatever it is
Starting point is 00:09:32 and let's say tonight you just go or today all vegetarian and and whatnot you will that evening your blood cleans up that much. It's kind of like a little gleam in his eye. Are you vegetarian? I'm not. I did it for a while. Or you just tried to... I did it for a while.
Starting point is 00:09:50 I got off the animal protein thing, right? Okay. And I will tell you, like they talk about the... That documentary was all about the inflammation, right? The breaking down the hind protein and all that stuff and it, you know, creates inflammation in the body. I have this saying on my side from a lot of golf, I think, but like the intercostals and whatnot. and they're always sore.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Man, it was like, gone. Within days. Yeah. Within days. It's back now because I eat all sorts of trash. Jake just decided to quit golf. That was more easier. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Keep eating what you eat. Do you find it offensive at all when someone, you're like, hey, I eat healthy. Dan's like, boy, I was shocked to learn Dave Raymond. Yeah. He's healthy. It's not showing up on the outside at all. No, I just see.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Dave Raymond just seems like a guy that, wouldn't suggest that documentary to me. Seems like he suggests some wackiness, something, some bits. Something of the, this was a very serious documentary. You know why? Because I care about your health.
Starting point is 00:10:53 And frankly, there's a small part of me. Kind of loves you. Okay. Small part. That is very sweet. I'm still confused about this boner thing. So like the quicker it's a delicate conversation.
Starting point is 00:11:06 He has wieners. Well, yeah. So there's a, yeah. Yeah, no, I think there's a, a guy, Brian Johnson. He's the guy who's trying to live forever. He's a tech billionaire. He's dumped a bunch of money into it. And his son is in the protocol, too. He's reverse aging. And one of the things that they measure is your boner activity, I believe, is what the scientists call it at night to show, I guess the younger, the more virile you are, the more active.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Like while you're sleeping, you're... Yeah. So at night, and I don't get into your business. But at night, Jared, you probably have... have, I don't know, I can't remember the, but like in the neighborhood of 20 erections over the course of the evening. Are you serious? Absolutely. That's in that documentary. Oh, man, that's amazing. It tells you that. There's a, you have a, you have a lot of few. You have to make sure someone else knows about that. Yeah, it says, healthy, healthy would be three to five hours of episodes cumulatively per night. Yeah, you actually have two to three nocturnal emissions every night. Well, no one really knows that. Yeah. Yeah. Eight spiders somehow are involved that you consume.
Starting point is 00:12:10 You had that myth growing up, right? Everybody eats like eight spiders a year sleeping or something. I never heard that. I never heard that. But I could believe it. Yeah. Yeah, I believe it was actually a fact created by someone to test whether or not people would believe anything. Like a researcher.
Starting point is 00:12:27 50% of people did. Me for 30 years. Yeah. I'm like, fuck spiders. That must be why I'm sick. So do you guys love a nice 135 game? I do. Especially on the get-away.
Starting point is 00:12:38 I always love them. Yeah. Any day. They'll all at me any day. Get me a day game. For a couple of reasons, baseball is meant to be played in the day. That's right. That's the way God invented it.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Yeah. And it's not a terrible thing to have to go home and be with your family or have dinner. Go out on the road, go out and get dinner and watch this guy eat ice cream. I'm trying to see if there's a container big enough in here. Jared, a big eater? He's lactose intolerant. So he takes a pill. We go out to dinner.
Starting point is 00:13:08 It's like, oh, I'll take my pill. He's got a magic pill That allows him to just circumvent this actual health issue And then he will crush it Dang But then I won't have dairy for like five days But like I can And I'm not going to act like I go home
Starting point is 00:13:28 Go to sleep and it's just the smoothest night at all times But I love I found out last, was it last spring Last spring we were eating We had a rare Thursday off It was the first Thursday of March Madness. We don't, like, we miss a lot of fun sporting events. So I went ape crap at this one nearby, like, sports bar. And Dave, I think you played golf in the morning.
Starting point is 00:13:54 And then he came and joined, and we're just, just gorging food. And then Dave decides, like, I want to order this dessert pizza. I don't remember what it was, but there was ice cream on top. Yeah. I think I'd had two pizzas already because I'll crush pizza. I think we could go toe to toe here. sure uh and uh that seemed very dismissive of you i don't appreciate it i will kick your ass uh and and then all of a sudden i'm i'm like sweating and i go up i go outside i go for a walk i try to
Starting point is 00:14:22 like nothing i'm sitting down and like dave looks like are you okay well i didn't know i had never been diagnosed as lactose intolerant i wasn't something that was a problem earlier because i've always crushed dairy but i went back to the hotel i i was struggling to breathe for hours and then i got tested it i guess my esophagus swells up when i have like more than just a little bit of dairy so and then you got like an iud for for dairy so you can just yeah take it before you go out so rather than avoid dairy just yeah i pick my dental dam okay but we don't on off nights like when we have a dave's right like it there's some teams they play a lot of saturday day games we are not one of them we we don't play many at all but when we go on the road and we have a saturday day
Starting point is 00:15:07 game that's like at an hour where we can go get dinner we take advantage of that and like that's like a night where it's yeah let's let's have a nice meal and afterwards if there's a nearby ice cream shop or if there's not we'll go out of our way and walk a long way to it i see a lot of flavors i want to try i'm not going to be back in the city for another year get the itemized receipt and turn it in yeah we get per diem i may as well you know i don't need a dude it's great yeah if you think about it your boss may reject a shot or two but he's not going to reject some mixings. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Get a little mixing in there on top. So if I, there are three flavors I want to try, or maybe four, I'll ask to try one of them, so I just get a little taste, and then the other three will be in the cup. I don't like taste guy. I don't. I don't like it. I don't like it. You know who else is?
Starting point is 00:15:53 My six-year-old, and that's where I draw the line. No, what you do it? You know what it tastes like. Right. No, no. Some of these are unique flavors. And if it goes poorly, oh, no, the sunk cause. Just get another scoop.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Throw that one. Yeah, but it's like the mini soda. Maybe you just want a bite or two. Yeah, I don't want all the... No, but you're ripping them off then. Interesting, I love the mini soda, by the way, Blake. It's the perfect amount. It is absolutely ideal.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Life changer. I love that thing. I do like a mini soda. The mini water, I don't want to spike on the ground. I don't like that at all. You know what I hate when you go to a restaurant? Like, it's usually an order at the counter and sit down, and you want water, and they give you, like, the really tiny cup of water.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Yeah. Or you could go fill it up, but like... I'm going to drink a quart of water here. It's because my dad. It's because my dad's going and getting the tea. Like, do you think that I want to make, you know, what would I feel, let's say I did steal a soda? What's that going to do to your bottom line here? Just give me the goddamn water.
Starting point is 00:16:49 So these guys are sick of hearing about it, but you got to get the, I got the Ninja Creamy. I got the home made ice cream. Oh, yeah. Like Father's Day. Okay. It's incredible. It's incredible. Just dream big, dude.
Starting point is 00:17:03 It's really not. It's really not. It's really not. It's really not. gave me a very simple recipe and yeah man you can dream big so you don't have to go try every single flavor
Starting point is 00:17:14 I'm sure the people there love you I try one flavor that is not true bullshit you're a volume flavor you try flavors too don't act like you've never tried I don't have the occasional flavor but you are like you are a volume shooter
Starting point is 00:17:27 and it's like I can get literally a free scoop of some hybrid ice cream here by just taking one of them not that far away from the Jared Road ice cream TikTok account. Maybe. Oh my gosh. He's built for it.
Starting point is 00:17:42 I think I'd follow that. Do you do, you put on the show where you're like, um, kind of between. Yeah, yeah. Can I try this one just a little bit? When I was younger, I would. Now I just don't. Zero F's given. I just go back to the, uh, can I try that again?
Starting point is 00:17:55 Yeah. Can I keep trying that? What did you guys make of the, uh, the Karen on the loose and the stands in my age? Oh, we're on the way over. We're like, it's coming up. it's coming up. Yeah, I mean, I guess I saw the Marlins broadcast side of things, and I thought they handled it pretty well.
Starting point is 00:18:12 And the, what's the silly baseball team? The Savannah Bananas did a parody of that, of course. Of course they did they. Like right away. I was surprised. Well, I guess Phillies wouldn't do that. Usually the Philly fanatic will reenact something they did with the cold play. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:28 It's unfortunate, right? Unfortunate for that gal. Look, in this cancel culture time, like, man, people are looking to pounce. She's getting crushed. I don't know who she is. I mean... I haven't seen.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Well, I've seen stuff, and I don't know if it's fake or real, but I've seen that she got fired. I've seen that she got suspended. It's probably all fake. But like, even if it is fake, just the fact that there's someone out there who thinks that that happened.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Like, imagine people in her circle, they're like, they're not sure. Did she this or that? What's ridiculous is that there are people, clearly, involved in this miles and miles away who are kind of working themselves up into a bit of a froth yeah you know what i mean like it's not yeah there are people who have managed to make this an issue in their own lives i'm just so pissed well tc our friend tc makes the point all the time
Starting point is 00:19:22 that just with technology with with internet and such there's just way too many things you know about to get upset about that you just shouldn't know about right you should never even know this That was happening once a day at any ballpark. But now you're thinking about what would you do in that situation type thing, and that's why people get worked up about it. Yeah, I'd kick her ass. You probably would. No, see, what I was thinking is I feel like we're just victim blaming Central on this show.
Starting point is 00:19:50 But I was playing the tape back and thinking, am I going that hard for a ball if I'm the dad? Like a ball that clearly is one that's going to take a little bit of a... It was at her feet. she might have had Well, what I'm saying is if the ball's not hit to me Right
Starting point is 00:20:06 I think I'm going to like As soon as I start to do that I'm going to think This what am I How's this going to go? I'm going to beat somebody? I know. Well, there's your force field
Starting point is 00:20:15 Well, if there's not a kid involved But how do you know they don't have a kid? Now we're back to this. I am big on that. I think what you said is huge. I do think that a lot of times adults Like if my dad was at a game when I was younger
Starting point is 00:20:29 and I wasn't there and I you know dad hey if you get a ball you bring me a ball like that's a tough spot what if he gets a ball and there's a kid two seats over I know there's no but his kids I'm not there so I do I do leave a little wiggle room for the adult who does want to keep the ball the possibility that he's bringing it home to like his kid who just is dreaming of getting a baseball yes and I am now looking at this with 72 hours of hindsight but the more I thought about it the only move is you tell your kid didn't get hit towards me and you just lie and you move on and that's it because the second you lurch towards a baseball like I'm getting this motherfucker like what if there's five people
Starting point is 00:21:11 that show up what if there's five kids there's very few outcomes there that are good for you it's true very few and why do we give things to kids they have their whole life to to get a ball that I have to give it to this kid like that's a hundred percent just that Dan never got a ball yeah that guy might have been going to, I went to games my whole life, I would bring my mitt, I never got near a ball. Now if I'm 50 and there's a ball near me, like that, that's, I know that's my last chance. I've never been this close to a ball at all. That is not a guy I want to defend. That's, you should defend me. Now, I read that her kid couldn't go to the game because, uh, he was in Cook's Children's Hospital. Um, yeah, kind of on his last, you know, there you go, America. Yeah. By the
Starting point is 00:21:58 the way this episode should be named dan mcdow wants to be near balls i do yeah and he wants to know more about uh penises i was never taught as is uh hey is this a gay not gay somebody sent this in it says a gay not gay jared sandler edition oh no let me hand this to you guys uh i've been a i've been a subject of gay not hand it to dave raymond not to jared let's see collared shirt under a what is it why is Brad Miller not being I mean we're both doing the same thing well he does everything you do have any World Series rings you'd like to
Starting point is 00:22:43 I do oh damn it forgot about that wow Will Baker you should include Brad Miller yeah but that's a fair question is it okay Jersey with jeans Jersey tucked into jeans No, you're not tucking anything really into jeans Nothing?
Starting point is 00:23:04 Never? I wouldn't. Okay. But sports, there's a lot going on there, right? Like, what shirts are those? The celebration? Well, this was after the floods, July 4th. Huh?
Starting point is 00:23:16 And these shirts. Sports field. These shirts were for that. The Lone Star Series, the two teams that combined to donate money, raise awareness. But you think they kind of. clash from a fan point i'm i'm just saying it's uh thursday we do or it's wednesday show but we're doing our thursday show anyway it's viewer mail day and i just wanted to bring that up and um my lawyer's speaking for me well yeah no i think he did a good job there on the force field it is
Starting point is 00:23:43 what it is will but maybe some contact hey what's so what do you got what's your schedule like i got to go actually i got to go when what's the bogey thing oh Is there you going to do? Which is like 11, but I hate MLB Network. Oh. MLB Central from the ballpark cam. It's been me and Lauren Shahati. Oh, look at you.
Starting point is 00:24:10 And DeRosa. I don't care. Are you going to? Nelson de la Rosa? Okay. Mark. Oh. You guys know who Nelson De La Rosa is?
Starting point is 00:24:18 I do. I do. He was a friend of a Hall of Fame pitcher. It's Pedro's Midget. Oh, really? Yeah. Wow. That's a pretty good, obscure fact that you've really committed to.
Starting point is 00:24:31 And you got Jared. Oh, she's. See, now I thought it was having fun. We joke about Jared, no? Yeah, that's fun. You do. Dave loves it. It's fun.
Starting point is 00:24:42 It's fun to tease Jared. Yeah. It's like the team mascot. I get, I'm always the butt of the joke. Did you, have you guys seen his mariachi bit? Yes. That was great, right? Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:53 I really, that was my, that was my friend. yeah we're uh was that fun you know what's so fun is that he's like he made all this money he could be too cool for all this stuff he like is a kid just living his best life i mean yesterday we're watching the game and we're in the booth uh and he's like going ape shit when michael helman hits a home run like to tie the game just like any other big fan i i just i find that so refreshing he could be yeah no yeah all right remember i mean i've i've been to my world series whatever like my favorite compilation videos are when you see the him and uh beltre beltre him messing with beltre over the years just he's the
Starting point is 00:25:36 like he is honestly the same person he wants to have fun he loves like the team aspect he'll he's walking along the concourse in a mariachi outfit amongst all these fans and just like loving it he doesn't i don't need a security i don't need any of that stuff he i don't know i just I find it so refreshing. He doesn't have to be that guy. He could be, yeah, I need security. I don't want to get bombarded by all these fans because they love him.
Starting point is 00:26:01 He can't go anywhere in this ballpark and not get stopped within five feet, but he, like, he enjoys every part of it. And it's, I think it's really cool. Yeah. It's fun to have fun, right? I mean, he just likes to have fun. But this show has slipped so far
Starting point is 00:26:18 in the amount of time I've been here. It started with ape crap, and I thought we were on a nice, reputable show. And then just a moment ago, he slipped into ape shit. I know. I'm out. It was a pleasure to see you guys as always. Good to see you, Dave.
Starting point is 00:26:32 The great Dave Raymond. Thank you guys for having me. Let's get to the real Jared show. Do you want more of me? You don't want more of me. You want to hang? Yeah, you can stay here for a little bit. Stay here.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Talk a little baseball. Sure. Want to promote game day men's health first, though. Do you know, Jared, that is prostate health awareness month? What is it? Now, you're doing great. Anyway, they're offering free prostate screenings, cancer screenings at Game Day Men's Health all month long when you go there and mention the dumb zone. That's right.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. That's the phrase that pays there. It's Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. One in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. If you catch it early, you're better off. And here's the thing. They will no longer finger you. If that's a problem for you, you know, you're going to have to find somewhere else.
Starting point is 00:27:24 But if it's not a problem for you, simple blood tests. Come by here today. Come by here, we'll take care of that part. If you want a little digit in the backside, we'll take care you. That's right. So go in there, get yourself a health screening, get your T-checked, get yourself a free B-12 shot while you go in there and get that screening. Oh, yeah. Game Day men's health is the gameday.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Excuse me, gameday. com. There are 12 game-day men's health locations. It is gameday. dot dumbzone.com don't die from prostate cancer if you can do something about it there you go that's our thing don't die uh Jared that would uh we'd lose a listener if you died we don't want that that's true really now you made it real yeah um Jared dropping some some um some dumb zone easter eggs for us during his play by play word talking to jordan teeks
Starting point is 00:28:17 they really love the intentionality of jack lighter against the guardians not worrying about each individual pitch. See, the thing is that word is so nice that it just works. And I'm pretty sure Murph just knows. Talking to Jordan Teaks, they really love the intentionality of Jack Leiter against the Guardians,
Starting point is 00:28:33 not worrying about each individual pitch, but just worrying about having a target hitting the spot. Just works. Towards the middle. Duran's got it. How about this one? Hey, David Murphy, like, two minutes later,
Starting point is 00:28:46 use the word intentionality as well. Nice. Dang, I bailed too early. he probably loves it he's like fits like a glove young guys making up this athletics lineup what you expect from a team that's rebuilding but don't be fooled by that you kind of do a monthly business review Murph
Starting point is 00:29:03 and this A's group has been on fire best record in baseball since July 24th they're 21 and 10 so I think you might have done even another one or two of those monthly business reviews but did not catch those like you're just peppering them in you threw it in a few times
Starting point is 00:29:22 you had a fun really I mean I was going to say you had a fun run of just insane late game stuff but you could say that about like any 10 day stretch of the season yeah feels like and one of them was last Friday night's game and extra innings win and
Starting point is 00:29:38 there was a bit of copy here we're going to investigate a not listening proceeds for the players favorite things of benefit the party project, an organization that creates birthday parties for children who experience homelessness. This pitch misses down and in the count now at 3-1 here. What a cause?
Starting point is 00:29:59 That's a really cool organization that makes sure that kids who experience homelessness get to celebrate their birthday. That's a 3-1. That one's fouled back in our direction. That was Friday night, right? So I think probably what was happening was my head was kind of partially buried. in the football game, NFL game that night. And I heard that, and I felt like I needed to make it seem like I was locked in. Pacheco rushing total or something.
Starting point is 00:30:27 I don't know. But, yeah, because Jared is a norm, he's a norm intern. He's a somewhat of a norm protege. He does some serious voice here for this serious topic, right? And it's like, I just said that. So we're going to get right back to the count here. Who experienced. Oh, I guess you got to go back.
Starting point is 00:30:48 A benefit, the birthday party project, an organization that creates birthday parties for children who experience homelessness. This pitch misses down and in the count now at 3 and 1 here to more. That's a really cool organization that makes sure that kids who experience homelessness get to celebrate their birthday and have fun doing it. Right, the 3-1. Have fun doing it. I mean, Matt didn't say that. to make sure that they knew it was a fun party. Right.
Starting point is 00:31:21 That is serious voice, Jared. Yeah. A game they would go on to win in 12 innings. Yeah, Astros have had four straight. Just let it go. Extra innings without scoring a run, you know? That's right. Because they didn't score in the 10th last night.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Two and a half games back. We were having this debate yesterday. I thought we were out. They're a game and a half back of Seattle, but they don't have the tiebreaker. Unless they get swept by Houston, they'll have the tiebreaker over Houston. If they get sweat by Houston, it's a non-convo anyway. We kind of were, they're a game further removed from Houston and Seattle. We both kind of think that Houston's the more attainable pursuit just because they play them three times. I kind of think Seattle already had their
Starting point is 00:32:05 their valley earlier this month. I think they're kind of on the up. I heard him, and I heard him saying something, it was probably the night of that game during that broadcast that it's maybe some, Astros hate Rangers homerism. But if you just look at teams that bank wins when they're playing well. So there's a lot of teams that, like, you're going to play how you're going to play, but that's going to produce you're going to win normally, let's say, 75% of the games if you swing like this, pitch like this. But if you win more of those, that's actually, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:41 that's a more important statistic throughout the year than one-run games that, like, randomly you really don't control. Yeah, and that's not Astros hate. That was credit to the Astro. Yeah, but it also like inflates maybe what the team is later in the year because you bank wins during that time. So I don't know, it seems like it's exactly what people thought at the start of the year, which is an even three-way division.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Yeah. It's kind of taking a weird route to get there. But yeah, I mean, this is, I think a lot of people, do you ask 10 people, you'd have some people that say the Astros are the best team, some the Mariners, some the Rangers at the beginning of the year, and they're all separated by less than three games now. Should be fun. I don't know. Kind of smoking mirrors, right?
Starting point is 00:33:25 I mean, you know, to some respect for all these teams, but like the Rangers, you look at the Rangers lineup, they got two guys with an OPS over 700, you know, but they're finding ways to win games. It's kind of crazy. When they had all these All-Stars, they weren't scoring runs. No, it's very weird. It's very weird. So maybe, like you're saying, Eovaldi, maybe he was just a bad clubhouse guy?
Starting point is 00:33:49 No, no, he's probably the single best in that room. I was more thinking you just had to get Seeger and Simeon out of there, you know? Yeah. Power this offense. I mean, and it's not like they're scoring 10 runs a game. Michael Hellman's like the best player in the world the last 48 hours. Who is Michael Hellman? Why?
Starting point is 00:34:08 How did this have? Who is this person? I mean, he powered by 30-year-old rookies at this point. He wasn't even on the team in spring training. He's an A&M guy They added him I want to say in May Could be wrong
Starting point is 00:34:19 Add him to the organization Not to the big league roster Came up And he is Where was he before? He was in the Twins organization Okay so he got released or whatever Yeah
Starting point is 00:34:31 Not 300 pounds So you're not going to hear about him No no no He's not He's kind of lean So yeah I mean he's Made it over the
Starting point is 00:34:44 home run saving catch. He had a Grand Slam two days ago. The two-run homer yesterday, he saved the home run. He's hit a, you know, a couple big home runs prior to this homestand. He's kind of been the infusion of life that they've needed. And then the young guy,
Starting point is 00:35:02 I don't know how to measure this. And Dan, you're probably going to poo-poo this. But like, you know, the regular group that they have is a pretty flat-line group. And it's the same group largely, that won the World Series. It's not an indictment against them,
Starting point is 00:35:17 but in that year, they started 40 and 20. They weren't playing from behind. They had a rough second half, but they at least set a good foundation. This year's team didn't, and it's the same group, and I wonder how much the energy of some of these young guys has helped
Starting point is 00:35:31 bring some life back because it's one of those things where it's probably great when you're winning, like, oh, they're so even keel, but when you're losing, it's like, oh, I want them to throw stuff and break stuff, and cough into the microphone or whatever.
Starting point is 00:35:47 And I just coughed. I moved the microphone. I coughed into my elbow like you're supposed to do. I've had a little bit of a problem this week. A little cold. Okay. I just want to make sure. Do you feel like I coughed into the microphone?
Starting point is 00:36:00 Yeah. I don't think you moved it as far as you could have. Okay. I think you're fine. Blake's playing peacemaker right now. Although if I said I had a little cough this week and I did that, I think you'd look at me weird. Me or Dan?
Starting point is 00:36:13 Dan. You're sick? You're sick, Dan? No, I'm just coughing for no reason. Some people cough? Because I just wanted to interrupt you. You've never coughed when you haven't been sick? I feel like Osuna really brings the juice.
Starting point is 00:36:30 You know the Kemp's been there, right? A lot of our guests are nice to us. Well, his brother is Roberto Osuna. He's got some Kemp's spin. What's it going to be a fun one? It doesn't sound like. It's going to be a car that went like 140 miles an hour. No, no, not like that.
Starting point is 00:36:47 But he was added, the Blue Jays cut ties to them. The Astros added him. It was somewhat controversial. Oh, yeah. Domestic violence? Yeah, yeah. But he's playing in Mexico now. That's not fun.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Now, you have to have that on your resume to play in Mexico. I don't think it's good if you have to agree to a peace bond. What is that mean? Yeah, I don't even know what a piece bond is. That's an ESPN headline. That's what Dan and Jerry. Yeah, you need a piece. Yeah, it's a nice little piece.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Hey, before we move on, let's plug community community, our HVAC company. When do you have to get over there? You got a minute or two still? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Our HVAC company, they are the proud
Starting point is 00:37:33 sponsor of the Brandon Aubrey show. They are a reluctant supporter of the Dumb Zone, but they're great. Come out, do some preventative maintenance. At least get signed up for that just to make sure everything is like jared with the ice cream that's right that's right that's right just make sure uh have no surprises um they found some like a disconnected something in my attic and it was like spewing what was it carbon monoxide dioxide dioxide some kind of carbon thing
Starting point is 00:38:01 and they said that's very bad um also just to change your filters and all that kind of stuff just have community mechanical community let me just let jake take over right now wow for clump community DFW.com. So I can do this. You can call their text. I'll meet it. I'll meet all of this. 469 6677-2-90.
Starting point is 00:38:26 CommunityDFW.com. Get that preventative maintenance if your system goes out. Have them on call. 469-66772-90. Community Mechanical. I want to mention, talk a little football with Jared. Yeah. There you go.
Starting point is 00:38:43 And, hey, great job in the pool first week. I saw you up there, fourth, fifth. Oh, the monopoly thing? Yeah. Yeah. That's my favorite thing that we do. Do you do good in your little... I go big every year at the beginning.
Starting point is 00:38:55 Yeah. And I either am out in two weeks or I am among the top players. And it's the one with all the hockey players. Yeah. Yeah. We don't belong. Who did I go with? Jacksonville.
Starting point is 00:39:08 Okay. Jacksonville. It's a big first play. We're in Jacksonville. yeah no what stood out to you um i was just wondering i wanted to get a little archmanning talk going with jake see what he thought about that did you watch that game jared the i watched the first one i didn't get to watch much of their cake walk last week but i did see the thing did we get any clarity on the wincing is that a legitimate thing what did sark say oh sark dismissed it
Starting point is 00:39:36 summarily but i'll tell you the the vagus isn't dismissing it sark is very testes yeah yeah he's an interesting one um like uh he's he's a addict right like so he's been he's in recovery and all that but and i'm not saying you can't still be like uh fiery and whatnot you certainly can but i don't know man he just seems like on the edge of breakdown at all times to me like and that's not like normally how somebody who's healthily living in maybe he just needs to be on the edge as his thing but he just constantly that I'm about to explode like
Starting point is 00:40:19 don't look at me dude I mean you can definitely get by as a college coach like that but it's weird it's very weird given his history like for example Mike McDaniel or McDaniels kind of tracks as a guy
Starting point is 00:40:35 who's in recovery you know you're not that surprised to learn that that guy is a meditate and process and I do things this way. Okay, yeah. Like it's, but everything is this way, this way. So I don't know.
Starting point is 00:40:49 It's a bit weird, but, you know, he's a college coach, so he can certainly get away with it. I don't know what to think of it. I don't know. I feel like I've ridden the public wave on Arch. Like when you first found out who he was and you saw the competition he was playing against him in high school, obviously you're like, he's going to have to do something else
Starting point is 00:41:11 before everybody can believe in him. But then he really didn't. What do you mean? The competition was very weak. It was horrible. It looked like a 2A Texas high school. But then you go to these, like that doesn't seem to matter as much as it did 20 years ago, even 10 years. Like you go to these camps all year long, and he's out there just spinning it.
Starting point is 00:41:31 You know, it's hard to be wrong about a guy like that. So I think in five years he'll probably be an MVP candidate. The road on the way there will be interesting, though. Yeah. I mean, it was game one, but he's also been around for quite a bit. It wasn't game one. He looked awful. He looked really bad.
Starting point is 00:41:49 He looked awful. It was the lowest, I think I read it was the lowest target rate, like on target rate by a Texas quarterback in over a decade. But like the fact that they still hung with Ohio State to some degree, I just, that defense is really, really good. And they're going to give him a runway, I think, to lean into things and grow. Oh, you had a big win against him. Michigan, but that to me seems a little fraudulent. I mean, Michigan's ass. And I mean, I just don't think, oh, you can't really run the ball. And I don't think that John Mateer is going to be able to take hits like that all season long and, you know, still be able to be a functioning
Starting point is 00:42:29 quarterback. And so, like, when OU plays Texas, I don't know that Texas walks over them like they've done the last couple years, but I just, to me, I think that Texas defense is still, that's a game-changing defense. They're so good at all three levels, and I think that's going to give Arch some time to figure things out. The other thing, too, I don't think Texas's receivers are that good. I think, like, Ryan Wingo is a guy who, like, has the chance to be really good, but I haven't seen him put it together consistently. I just think from, like, a past catching standpoint, they're a little, uneasy for me. What did you say, what did you mean when you said that Vegas is reacting to the arch injury? Just, like, some line-related
Starting point is 00:43:11 things. I was talking to someone about Texas lines, like in subsequent games. Okay, not this week. Not necessarily, well, a couple points swing from what it might have been. Okay. So with a 40 plus point spread. That's tough. Yeah, that's tough to evaluate against the- Maybe they're like season-long type totals. I was, okay, that's interesting. I don't even know who their backup is. Gosh, I don't either. How do you feel about Lincoln Riley? Who, Texas? Didn't they bring in that Troy kid or something? It was really weird. That's one of them.
Starting point is 00:43:42 They have a grad transfer, you're right, but I don't know. As your USC guy. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. Is he deuce bowling? Yeah. I mean, I'm a Deuce Robinson fan because of you guys. It's not like USC doesn't have plenty. No, but they, I don't know, they've played two awful teams.
Starting point is 00:43:59 For the first time and forever, they actually have a legitimate recruiting class. Well, they're probably, they're going to be, I mean, I don't know. They should be undefeated and then they play Michigan. Wait, what does that mean? The first time they've had a- They haven't. USC's recruit, like, especially in the NIL era, they've not done that well. They have, they have really been underwhelming. And that was one of the knocks on Lincoln after Caleb.
Starting point is 00:44:21 So Caleb's, Lincoln's first year was Caleb's Heisman year. Yeah. And Caleb was great. Things were great. Recruiting wasn't outstanding, but hey, you have Caleb Williams. Next year, Caleb not as good because the team around him, I mean, he had no line. And the recruiting was kind of poor. And then under Clay Hilton, the recruiting was asked.
Starting point is 00:44:39 No one wanted to go play for that guy. And so USC's fine, but they're going to go. They'll play Michigan. They'll probably lose to them. Then they'll lose to Notre Dame. And then they'll kind of be back on track being a four or five lost team. I'm just trying to look for where the excuse for Lincoln Riley is here. And it sounds like we're already hearing it, right?
Starting point is 00:44:57 Like, we just don't spend enough money at NIO. Well, no, no, I'm not. I'm not saying you, but he's not going to say, boy, this was the biggest effing failure of all time on my behalf. The biggest homer, the biggest USC homer, or the biggest Lincoln Riley Homer would say that USC has not, I mean, especially being in the Big Ten, dollar for dollar, they have not spent the way that they need to spend if they want to compete with the big dogs. Didn't they, didn't he get one of those contracts with like his family can use the private jet four times a year? There were a lot of, I don't know what was true, but yeah, but that was definitely out there. Something about a house allowance and, you know, selling the house in Norman and. buying the house in L.A. and plain travel. I don't remember what was and wasn't true.
Starting point is 00:45:44 I wonder if they need to put in NIL spending in the coach's contracts. Oh, that's already happening, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, I bet it is. Yeah, because somebody, didn't some dude from Iowa, like, have to give back some of his money to keep his job? I don't know. I'm pretty sure there's coaches who have said that it's like, yeah, we'll spend the money if it comes from your salary. I might be familiar with that. Yeah, I'm very familiar with that negotiating tactic. You are a norm intern, man. Like, remember some of the norm interns we would just be able to quiz them about any sport
Starting point is 00:46:19 and they were so deep. This guy has his main job is knowing everything about Major League Baseball. Just the American League. Oh, that's right. That's our fight. Boy, he does fight with a lot of people, doesn't he? All of us. I'm feisty.
Starting point is 00:46:35 It's an early... My record's clean today. Yeah. I don't ever, yeah, I rarely ever fight with Jake. Fighting with Dave, that's right. You and Jake are little buddies. Why don't you marry him? All right, well.
Starting point is 00:46:48 You were in the middle of a thought, I feel like. Was I? What were we talking about? I don't know. It was saying about a norm intern. It's not. Oh, yeah. Oh, he knows everything. Oh, he's like in depth in college football.
Starting point is 00:46:59 He's like knows three deep, you know, on different teams. He knows everything about Major League Baseball, and he is so. Like ice cream. He loves to like ice cream, but so deeply involved in, you know, making some picks and looking at the lines for the NFL weekend as well. I met someone the other day who knew Norm when he was broadcasting for the sidekicks and said that Norm would constantly ask for information so he knew what bet to make for that night's sidekicks game.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Yeah, I mean, it's the most norm thing ever. Well, yeah, he would make calls to friends in Chicago. Oh, yeah. A little birdie told me that, yeah, his brain exploded when like the inner. internet. Seriously. He used to have friends send him papers.
Starting point is 00:47:44 He'd be on the phone early in the morning. That's part of the reason. Or have people print out the entire country, yeah. No, Jared should be like a general manager. Of what? Who would hire me to do that? I mean, obviously not now,
Starting point is 00:47:58 but I'm just saying the way that his brain is, like you can totally see it. And he's like, you can tell he could bullshit the media and stuff, do the, well, the kids who experience homelessness voice. Like, he can handle the... That's right. He could totally do.
Starting point is 00:48:12 He could totally do. He can totally do. He can't do. I have snacks in my car that I get. The charity is just a long play. Just the homeless kids? I mean, definitely, but like I typically see adults. But yeah, they get thrown back at me sometimes.
Starting point is 00:48:27 But like I'm not going to give you money. So, okay, explain this. Like, like, like, uh, like, uh, chewy bars or cliff bar. Yeah, like those things. You will toss a granola bar I won't toss it and say fetch I will roll down my window Why do you put spin on it
Starting point is 00:48:43 And do they look at you with like Some are appreciative Some want money to go Spend on whatever What would Angela do if you hand them a granola bar God Ask me if I had any more of them Asked if you had any great Poupon or something
Starting point is 00:48:58 Yeah Do I have a Torchies gift card Yeah But it's a real test Like, are you, do you really need food? Because if you do, I'm giving you food. Yeah, it's a good bit. My dad used to, I mean, I only recall it actually happening once, but like a guy had a
Starting point is 00:49:15 will work for food sign, and he had the two of us in the truck. Picked up a guy? Yeah. And then what? Because we were going to. What do you expect him to do? He was, we were driving actually to the UPS hub. No, like a warehouse.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Oh. Okay, we're headed in, actually. He was going to put him to work. Yeah. It's pretty risky, right? Is it the guy bail? Yeah. Yeah, like a few minutes into the ride.
Starting point is 00:49:38 My mom was heated, bro. She wasn't there. No, but she found out pretty quickly. Because you told me. Yeah, dude, but just now that I think back on it, just some junkie. Picking up a homeless guy. But he wanted to call the bluff, you know, that's all he wanted to do. Was he doing it just to show you guys?
Starting point is 00:49:55 I don't know. I feel like he was doing it just to call the bluff. Be like, oh, come down and work then. Like him. Well, you notice he's not giving the guy like something. something they definitely want. He's getting, you know, a spare bar to try to test there. It's the smorish chewy bar, which is probably the best one.
Starting point is 00:50:11 Hey, that's not bad. Yeah. Yeah, that's the best one I just said. You also give him a little napkin? That's a little, you know, hot day and in your hands. I'm not that thought of a little, sorry. It's also just two bites. They're incredibly small.
Starting point is 00:50:23 That's fine. God. You're right, Blake. It is kind of just more of a tease. Yeah. No, that's true. I mean, I, I, I, yeah. You ever give them a couple tickets?
Starting point is 00:50:36 To the game tickets, right? Yeah. If they answer the trivia question. What do you get ticket-wise? Do you get, like, personally, are you allowed to get two tickets a game or something? So the setup used to be a little more favorable. There was a way to beat the system a little bit.
Starting point is 00:50:51 But we get two tickets per home game, but not restricted to only using two per game. So every month, sorry, back up. Every month we get a new allotment, and it is two tickets. times however many home games. So if we have 10 home games, I get 20 tickets at month. I can use them on one game.
Starting point is 00:51:08 I can use them on 20 games or however I want to distribute them. It's pretty sweet. And then on the road, we get, we can get up to six tickets. We get taxed on those. So whatever the... If you take a road ticket, you get taxed. Yes, we get taxed on those. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Not a tariff. And the players do too. Like they, no, not a tariff. The players do. as well so like when they get hit up like if you ever hear like a player they get a hundred tickets like they're either buying more like whatever is beyond their allotment or like at best case they're paying taxes on 100 tickets so like some of these guys who get called up and they go play in like some small town or nearby they're from a small town so the whole city
Starting point is 00:51:54 or whole town's going to go to Cleveland to watch them play whatever do they just go to teammates for their well they'll go yeah so i'd go you know hey can i get you know you know you know you any tickets left over, but then beyond that, like they would have to buy, and it works something out with the other team or whatever. You know, there's someone with the Rangers who helps facilitate all that, but, like, I think people think they just get
Starting point is 00:52:15 three tickets. Otherwise, it would be like a salary cap type violation or something. Well, I think it's like, it's considered a form of payment. I don't think it's, it's, like, towards the luxury tax, but, like, it's a part, it becomes a part of your income. That's why it gets taxed. Yeah, you've seen Micah complaining about
Starting point is 00:52:31 this quite a bit. that he has to pay for things. Yeah, and the tax part of it. Yeah. Didn't he charge that? Someone told me he charged $25,000 for like a five-minute appearance or something like that. Did he? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:44 I wouldn't doubt it. Man, I can't wait to see what that looks like up there. Yeah, what's your thought on the trade, Packers fan? Oh, that's right. I forgot. I mean, I was not a huge Micah guy when he was here. Best case, different environment, more stable environment, not. as volatile like the Cowboys maybe it works out better but I'm sure he'll have a great year and then
Starting point is 00:53:07 guys like that don't stay consistent they don't behave consistently he'll he'll cause problems there like he did here he's a Hall of Fame player right like that he's that talented but you can read between the lines what players his teammates did or didn't say upon his exit I mean CD was the only one who was like kind of bummed about it right Trayvon Trayvon who cares about Tray I mean you got the worst compass that guy if the cowboys knew what the hell they were doing that guy would be gone yeah i'm serious like he is the biggest waste of money i'd rather pay de ron bland whatever they paid him than trevon diggs i'm serious like the best thing about travon is his son his son's the cutest thing in the world yeah did yeah dan he's like 18 now isn't he no he's like eight
Starting point is 00:53:51 okay but yeah like whether you like dac or not i think most of us would agree forget about Dak the quarterback he does seem to have a pretty good pulse on things and Dak is a team first guy that guy's not he was never out there like defending Micah and the weird thing is is that you would hear things behind the scenes about Micah
Starting point is 00:54:13 and I could never was I just convincing myself that oh that guy is just feeding me this or that because he wants me to think differently like I was a huge Micah fan but certainly we would hear like oh this guy's he doesn't really do shit in the off-season because you would see him like on traveling the world doing videos you're
Starting point is 00:54:34 talking about work ethic you would hear from guys like oh he does he doesn't do anything like he works out for the camera but he's not really that committed but then you see digs putting out a documentary where micah's actually having to go get him to work out so i'm like oh myca's at least above him well how bad yeah how bad yeah well a lot of these guys can get through college Even with natural ability and not really working hard. Yeah. And then they get to this level. And then I'd heard that, you know, he hired somebody else,
Starting point is 00:55:05 that he had had this new trainer in the last six months or so. But he's definitely not a guy. You've seen all the reporting now that's come out from Albert Breer to Machota of like there's plenty of people who were not happy with his work habits and work ethic at all. Well, I told you that he was on the Undertaker podcast, so I listened to it. Micah was? Yeah, of course, right? The Undertaker has a podcast, and somehow he has Micah Parsons.
Starting point is 00:55:34 It doesn't make any sense. It wasn't that great, but... Probably brought to you by, like, Caesar's sports book or something. Yeah, but somehow Micah, during that conversation, said he had been working out with Miles Garrett, and he was, like, he was blown away by how hard Miles Garrett works, and that he was, he is just learning this and that he's in the process of trying to change his game because he's seeing that to get that great, I'm going to actually have to work, and I haven't been doing that.
Starting point is 00:56:11 Yeah, the thing that has been conveyed to me is that's not a dude who's playing past like 30, 31. Yeah, here's the two things with Micah. First of all, DeMarcus Lawrence is the defensive leader when Micah joined the Cowboys, right? those two didn't have a good relationship. Micah came into the NFL acting like he knew everything, right? So that doesn't surprise me that he works out with Miles Garrett's like, oh, this is what it takes because he kind of, I never got the sense. He wasn't like, hey.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Pick to Marcus Lawrence's brain and like, hey, show me how to do this. And the other thing is, you know, the Packers never spend like that. But like, does it not seem like 29, maybe not 29, but 20 teams in the NFL can, continue to give out contracts and not feel handcuffed, but the Cowboys just constantly talk about how they can't keep paying all these people. And so I don't know, if Stephen Jones might be the worst capologist in the NFL, I think that's like legitimately possible.
Starting point is 00:57:10 But whether or not that's true, they cry poor all the time while the Eagles keep signing guys and signing guys and signing guys. But if they are as poor as they say they are, then Mike is not the guy that I want to spend that type of money on because I don't think he elevates that room. He is an incredible player. is going to have highlight plays, you're going to probably, you know, be upset when he gets inducted in the Hall of Fame if he can stay healthy. But my guess is his team success or his defensive
Starting point is 00:57:36 unit success won't ever really consistently match up to what you would think it would be with his presence. Yeah. I don't believe they're as poor as they say they are. I don't either. I think they like to set up excuses for why they're not spending money. I think last year even with the CD and the DAC contracts looming. And the timing of it, they were, Well, we can't do anything in free agency because of it. Well, that's true because you put yourself there. You could have done something in free agency like Philly did when they signed Sequin Barclay.
Starting point is 00:58:07 Yeah, it's tough when you see Philly do it, but it's way worse when I, like he said, a conservative team like Green Bay is the one. Yes. You're even more close to the vest than the Packers. Yeah, they're big acquisitions in my lifetime. I can probably count on one hand, like non-draft, like Charles Woodson was the most recent and then, like, I don't want to say it went from Reggie White to Charles Woodson, but, like, there really wasn't a lot in between in terms of Julius Peppers,
Starting point is 00:58:33 I guess they got, you know, back when he was towards the end of his career. Dude, how excited. Xavier McKinney, but he wasn't even, who said that? Yeah, but he wasn't, oh, are you a Packers fan? But, like, he's, I am too, same team. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, even, like, Xavier McKinney wasn't, it was, it wasn't the big, like, $100 million type deal.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Yeah, for that, for that, for that. Them, yeah. And he was great last year. Anyway. All right, I got to go. Anyway, that's Jared Sandler, everybody. See you guys. Dan, I hope you feel better. Shut up. Jared Sandler's last appearance on the Dumb Zone.
Starting point is 00:59:14 We'll all remember it. Here at the Lowe's Hotel. Packers, commanders, guest the line at Green Bay tomorrow night. Thursday night, football. Which I'm already, I mean, I cannot wait to see it more Micah. Not like I'm pulling for the Packers, but. Washington by one. Green Bay, three and a half.
Starting point is 00:59:43 Three and a half. Favorite by three and a half. I don't know that I'd bet Washington, but I don't know that I'd go three and a half either. I guess that's why Vegas is pretty good at what they do. Yeah. They put you in that little spot. Window Nation is what we will mention right here before we move forward
Starting point is 01:00:02 because that is a fine sponsor. A proud sponsor, maybe? They haven't actually told me that. I said maybe. Yeah, they haven't told me that. They haven't told us anything other than you can put zero down, make zero payments, and pay zero interest for two years when you replace your windows. Wait, you don't even make a payment.
Starting point is 01:00:23 No payments. So you don't pay any money. for two years, and you're going to have new windows in your house. That's correct. Unbelievable. How are they still in business? Oh, they also got a different deal, too. What is it?
Starting point is 01:00:37 You research that. Okay. I do know that if you replace all your windows, you get a Cowboys jersey and a chance to win a pair of home game tickets. The contact info for Window Nation is 86690 Nation. Visit Window Nation. Oh, buy two windows. You get two free.
Starting point is 01:00:55 That's the thing I researched. Yeah, and if you only need two of them, you just have two. Yeah, you've got two extra windows. Carry them on vacation. Maybe you find yourself in like a room like this. You're like, oh, I don't know, I don't need to put the window over there and you can see outside. And everyone will be like, where did you get those? And you'll say Window Nation, and I haven't even paid for them yet.
Starting point is 01:01:16 At WindowNation.com. Sale ends September 30th. It does. So schedule a fast, free estimate now. Freshing up your home. How do you schedule that estimate, Jake? Did we say that? Wendonation.com or 86690 Nation.
Starting point is 01:01:32 Get that estimate. There you go. Shall we continue with a little sports? Like, do you want to hear some shoddy? Sure. Do you want to do viewer mail? What's your thought here? We're one hour into this program.
Starting point is 01:01:44 Let's do a little bit of shoddy over here. We are your pregame show for Rangers, Brewers, something's got to give. This could be a World Series preview. it could be why would you laugh I wasn't the only one laughing in here okay it's obviously way
Starting point is 01:02:03 way more likely that a team with a gazillion wins like Milwaukee is in the in the World Series but it seems that in my lifetime the team with 104 wins not making the World Series
Starting point is 01:02:17 is almost as likely as when the team with 87 or 88 does you know because it's not fair It's baseball. That's why the Rangers still have a chance. Could have another beautiful parade. Remember how fun that was?
Starting point is 01:02:34 It's really interesting to consider what they have learned, what they think they've learned. How would it be different? Because it can't be the same. It cannot be the exact. Why not? Come on, man. That's where Jared Sandler learned to throw candy at homeless people. that crazy, shitty parade.
Starting point is 01:02:57 I thought it was great. We had a guy hanging from the traffic light. And that was good, but we needed a lot more. Did we have that guy on the show? We did. Yeah. Pole guy? Pole guy.
Starting point is 01:03:07 All right, so Shottie was talking. I actually had two press conferences slightly cut up. He didn't have a ton after the game. I got a couple of cuts from that, but he was talking about, you know, as we're looking ahead to this weekend's games. and did he ask himself questions after you asked him questions? He did. There's got to be consistency, and I will speak to a guy like Tyler Booker.
Starting point is 01:03:32 He's not been perfect. He didn't play perfect, but Tyler Booker has been very, very consistent. You know each and every day what you're going to get from Tyler Booker, and I think some of the young guys that were inactive, we've had those hard conversations with them. They understand where they need to go, and I have no question that they will respond to that. Will that be this week? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:03:50 We'll see. I like that, Ender. When practice ends today, I hope there's a handful of our veterans that normally is that stay out there with a young guy or two to lean into them, not just because we want you guys to see it on camera. It's because it's going to help us. Is it going to help us this week? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:04:09 I don't know. I find this interesting, too. Just something he said in there, is this a slip? When he says... We want you guys to see it on... Oh, wait. Not just because we want you guys to see it on camera. because it's going to help us.
Starting point is 01:04:24 Is it going to help us this week? I don't know. So the, I want a veteran to take a youngster under his wing and show him the ropes. The way we were saying, the Epstein, the way we were saying DeMarcus Lawrence did not do to Micah, although Micah probably would have been pretty resistant to that had DeMarcus Lawrence tried that. But he's saying not just because we want you guys to see it, but also because it's real. So, like, so I'm guessing here, there are some things. that are done performatively.
Starting point is 01:04:54 Like, we want to make sure that we look like a tight-knit group, so let's kind of walk out talking and stuff. Do you know what he says that to the team, do you? Kind of the, when Jimmy Johnson says, when Jerry first wanted cameras in the draft room, that he actually said to him, hey, before you make a pick, will you lean over and just talk to me?
Starting point is 01:05:13 Yeah. Like we're going over it? I 100% believe that that happened. Yes, that's awesome. But not just because, I want the cameras to see it but also I'd like to be involved because I'm the owner of the team stuff
Starting point is 01:05:27 here's question three what are they talking about here what is it that you most appreciate about his game oh man oh okay Christy had asked Shottie about
Starting point is 01:05:41 Russell Wilson who yes is on the Giants and is thought to probably be the starting quarterback but I think we're still not sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:53 Anyway, so she's asking about Russell Wilson. Oh, man. That's a great question. It's probably a long answer. One of the greatest deep ball throwers I've ever been around, Christy, this guy's ability to just drop the ball in the bucket and put the perfect amount of air to the receiver that it was intended to. What do I mean by that?
Starting point is 01:06:12 Like, Tyler Lockett was a four-two-five guy. And he describes what it is to put. Probably still runs pretty damn fast. So he would put a little bit more air up underneath it and let Tyler go. track it with his dk he would throw it a little bit flatter ah yeah well you know he's trying to give an answer so this was interesting to me too i've never heard this but they were talking about i think the genesis of this was george pickens only four targets and we're all going to be on George Pickens alert, you know, for if he doesn't get what he needs, all this kind of, you know,
Starting point is 01:06:52 he's in a contract year, you know the whole thing. Oh, yeah, could be a big phase of a tornado. That you don't even know. Or which is not even true. Okay, so. What is the conversation like, you know, entering this week, a new player like him, contract year, wide receiver where they kind of have to ask for the ball? What's that like you, the play caller, going to a receiver like that and talking after a week
Starting point is 01:07:14 where it's only that kind of number? funny and I didn't have it with George. I should have probably had it with George, but I showed CD before the game all of his targets. So on the back of your call sheet, you've got to get the ball to certain people. And like, it was like this. Okay, CD, look at all your targets. And then literally George's was right below him. I was like, okay, then look at all the George's target. So it's like, obviously the way we're designing the game plan is to feature your playmakers. Do you understand what he means there? When he said, like, does he literally, I don't have the visual, but...
Starting point is 01:07:48 But literally on the play sheet, it says C.D. Lamb, 15, George Pickens, 12... Do they do they do that before the game that I want to make sure? And is there somebody tracking that? To an extent. I'm pretty interested in this. Definitely. I always thought it was, like, mentally, I know who our best players are. I want to get it to them.
Starting point is 01:08:08 Yeah, but you're going to lose track of things. You're going to lose track of all sorts of things. But are you in a... Like does an elbow equal two feet or... Yeah, but if you're in a third quarter, And are you saying to yourself then, man, I don't know how many targets CD has had. Let me make sure I get him one now because it says, let me turn this over. Okay, it says 15 and we only have four.
Starting point is 01:08:34 It's not the determining factor, but it's a factor. And if you have it written down and you're keeping track of it, you're hoping to not get to the third quarter and be in that situation. 100%. You're managing human beings and especially wide receivers. you don't want to put yourself in that spot. If you end up there and it's because everything's been running smoothly, fine. But, yeah, I mean, if you want to get the best out of some people,
Starting point is 01:08:56 you've got to keep them involved. You're going to have to know that throughout the game. Hmm. I think that's an entirely normal thing. I just thought it just kind of flowed as it flowed. Like, once you're in the game. That would be ideal, you know? Yeah, I didn't realize that.
Starting point is 01:09:15 So you don't think, I mean, I feel like, Blake, no, I feel like that's pretty normal to you're just going to have. To actually have a number written down objectively, I want to make sure he gets this many. I want to make sure Emmett gets 20 carries. And again, I'm not saying that it's the end-all be-all, but I also think it's probably like, hey, I've got four plays on this sheet. We're going to run these for you today. We're going to get to these four today. I believe that. And no matter what.
Starting point is 01:09:39 Because they have a million plays and they really pair that down for a week, right? Yeah. Like we're going to folk these, yeah. I think the guy that says we need 53 rushes and completed passes is also the guy that says we need 15 targets for CD. I think he likes numbers like that. So it makes sense that, yeah. I just call him a dummy.
Starting point is 01:09:57 Okay, I'll call him a dummy. Yeah, that dummy probably does that. That's interesting. Yeah, I didn't think about that. He goes on, he's continuing to talk about George Pickens, and by him saying this, I feel very good that George Pickens is on my fantasy team this week, and we'll start.
Starting point is 01:10:14 again it's more of them just knowing hey we see you we know you're a great player we're trying to get you the ball as much as possible but like i've always said there's only one ball to go around and a lot of it is again he's only said that he's the only one that i like that that like i've always said yeah like i always said what goes around comes only one football this is kind of a thing my grandpa actually might have been you know i tell these guys all the time it starts with the line of scrimmage possible but like i've always said there's only one ball to go around and a lot of it is again the two of them have such a great relationship that George was happy for CD with his production and guess what this week when it
Starting point is 01:10:50 flips CD will be happy for for George and vice versa well but this this has been a thing forever correct at least here for sure is that if T.O. spouts off one week about I didn't get a lot of care you know looks the next week he's not only going to get that opening game make sure you get in the flow thing he's going to have 20 targets and so i wonder if because this is at least somewhat of a story right now yeah if shoddy does have that in mind and is george pickens going to be you know is shoddy even going to pull pull deck aside and be like hey let's get let's get george pickens going he's we got to keep him and maybe that's just the smart thing to do we got to keep him engaged for this whole season yeah that's that's kind of the point
Starting point is 01:11:39 that I'm making. It's not like a force-feed or a suboptimal decision. It's just part of your plan or strategy. Also, I know Blake somewhat, I think, correctly thinks that last year, we in the quote media actually got Dak hurt because it was the week that we were all complaining that he couldn't run anymore and he looked dead when he tried to get outside of the pocket. That week was the week he took off against Atlanta and the next play. He just tried to throw a football.
Starting point is 01:12:09 I was like, I'm done for eight months. No, we played this game last year, whether it was Zeke getting the ball or what have you. It was, I forget what we called it, but basically the media is the offensive coordinator for that week. And you're right. The first play this week will be a George Pickens just five-yard comeback. Turn around, catch the ball. There we go. Hey, George Pickens got a catch.
Starting point is 01:12:29 Broadcast will mention it. Oh, three to four targets last week. Get them involved this week. Point of emphasis this week. Get George Pickens the football. Right. I know you mentioned this after the game to make sure I cut these. So this was from the post-game press conference in Philly.
Starting point is 01:12:47 I think we just settled in. You know, I really do. I think we settled in. The quarterback's really big and athletic, and our rush lane discipline in the first half wasn't very good. He got out a few times. I thought we did a better job of containing him in the second half. But, again, we had chances out there, and there's no moral victories for us.
Starting point is 01:13:08 a chance to win that game and weren't able to do it and it'll sting. Yeah, I just don't buy the no moral victory thing from him. I think he's a walking moral victory coach. He's, you know, he's Ted Lassow. Like if Ted Lassow is like, oh, there's no moral victory. I mean, that's all he's about. So, I mean, I guess he has to say the words, no moral victory because we make them say that. But he's got to be thrilled.
Starting point is 01:13:34 He's like, this is the greatest day of my life. Especially because it does seem like you point to a few things. Certainly the CD drops and then the fumble. You see it, but look at, I didn't fuck this up at all. Right. My plays were great. Look at the play I called. The ball was in his hands.
Starting point is 01:13:51 Stack did it. It's insane. We can kind of point to just a few things and say. He was, dude, he was 100% dropping your wife off at the airport. He's like, outside that press conference, like, okay. Lost, lost. Don't act too excited. Don't have a big smile.
Starting point is 01:14:07 Don't fuck this up, dude. I know this will be over in like 15 minutes and then it's party time. Yeah. I did see some confetti on the plane. I was wondering what that was. Yeah, it was him. But that almost worked out better for him that CD dropped it because he could point to, like, we would have won if. Right.
Starting point is 01:14:22 But if C.D. catches those and then the Eagles drive down the score. Yeah. We'll see. No, listen, where are we on the life cycle, they'll destroy the giants. Dude, it would be so cowboy. if they didn't. But again, you have to remember the formula. Things have to get way better,
Starting point is 01:14:40 and you have to get more hope before they get worse. Not to say that there will be no stumbles along the way, but this is the good time right now, buddy. The visor stays backwards. It's, yeah. Dude, I'm telling you, they're going to be four and two. What's that line? Going to be good times.
Starting point is 01:15:00 I would think it's cowboys. It's got to be at least. Like four and a half or something. Give me that. Green Bay, Washington. Give me below the six. I was going to say five and a half. Five and a half?
Starting point is 01:15:12 Yeah, below six for sure. What do you got? Five and a half? Five and a half? All right. You wanted me to cut this one off, so I did. We got a short word. I don't remember what we did.
Starting point is 01:15:24 Short words. I thought Dak played really well, you know, limited opportunities, just because we didn't have that many ops with the 26 minutes or whatever was, time of possession. But I thought Dak threw the ball really well and played. I don't want him to do ops. If he's going to be cool coach,
Starting point is 01:15:39 cool, shoddy coach, then ops has to be gang members you're going to kill. What's special ops? What is that? What do you mean? It's not opportunities. Right? I'm saying ops already has a full word.
Starting point is 01:15:53 Opportunities. Ops. Live, laugh, love, football. Do you want to play this one or no? You can. I don't know. Yeah. In context, I don't remember where we were in this.
Starting point is 01:16:11 Do you want me to name the, do you want me to say what the name is? Sure. It's called the Patrick Walker Special. He's from Dallas Cowboys.com. All right. A lot was said about your decision to not play Dats like Dax first guy in the spring season. What does it say about D. He says a lot was said about your decision to not play DAC during the pre-season.
Starting point is 01:16:35 preseason, and he's about to say, what does it say about Dak? What does it say about Dak to come out and have a game he did after not say he's a pro. I mean, how many snaps is the guy played in the NFL? You know, I thought he played really well. And Dak's going to come on here and say the same thing. There's no moral victories. We had a chance. We did not make enough plays. I think I wanted to pull that one because it's basically like, hey, you didn't play Dak in the preseason and he was awesome. Can you talk about how right you guys were? No, that's a very, yes.
Starting point is 01:17:07 It's a good, dowscobboys.com. It's a bit of a... Those are your colleagues, Blake. You know, the Rangers, I mean, every team has that. Why don't you get him on the run this week? What are you doing after the game? Nothing. What are you doing after the game?
Starting point is 01:17:22 They're not, he has no post-game responsibilities other than figuring this shit out. What do you want me to do? What do you take up? I'll send you questions throughout the game. What are you going to go as Shottie? Yeah. My backpack? Just backpack?
Starting point is 01:17:35 That's it. It's great. Is it great? It's the best. Like all you do is pull out your computer and that's it. It's the best. I helped their engineer just a little bit, but I would love to just leave just because I can. Dude, that's so the guy who's used to find the loading dock and seven different dollies.
Starting point is 01:17:50 He's got to push in. I felt naked getting on the plane because I just had my backpack. When normally I have all this equipment, I'm trying to shove overhead. And yeah, get into the stadium early. Where's the truck? Can I load this thing? And then now I'm just like, dude's already there. What's up, bro?
Starting point is 01:18:02 I'm here. Are you, does Baldi leave you after the game? Because you said pre-game, you're walking around with him on the... Baldi was the last man in that stadium. Really? Yes. Like he's breaking down film right away. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:15 Just down there doing past sets at 2.30 in the morning. I think he was doing an interview. But, no, he stayed in the booth, watching... The interview in the grass or something. That guy's great. Is he on our show tomorrow? And he'll be on the show tomorrow. Yes.
Starting point is 01:18:31 Yes. Yeah, you're going to pick... What's your duty for this weekend? I've got to pick up Burline this week. Wow. Fantastic. Sunday? Uber line.
Starting point is 01:18:39 Yeah. What time you got to be there? I don't know. What am I supposed to? Hey, Steve. Yeah, is it a noon game? Yeah. Yeah, it's a noon game.
Starting point is 01:18:47 So it'll be early. What do you mean? Hey, Steve. Hi, Steve. My name's, yeah. Get familiar with his career. So how long you've been doing this? Yeah, I've done games for a while.
Starting point is 01:18:56 I used to work for TCU. Yeah, I don't know. Can you do your set from playing for the cowboy? From La. Okay. You into stand-up? The Last with Legends set? I don't know what I'm supposed to talk to him about.
Starting point is 01:19:07 Dude, I don't think you are going to be doing any talking. He's going to be destroying. Just working on his set? Yeah. You leave it to Berline. Okay. So it's Berline and Ted Emmerich? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:20 This weekend? Yep. And they wouldn't even dream of asking Ted to pick him up. That'd be so demeaning to him. Yeah. No, I'm the new guy. I got to do this. So whatever.
Starting point is 01:19:31 You'd think the. The NFL, they've got a lot of money, you know. It's not the NFL, though. It's like Westwood one. What is it? Compass Media Networks. Okay. Take a break?
Starting point is 01:19:43 Sure, man. Let's do it. I just got to pee really bad. It's really all it is. I'm just going to be honest. You're listening to the Dumb Zone. That is right. We're doing a ballpark show today.
Starting point is 01:20:04 It's brought to you in part by Fairlease.org, where you can get a vehicle. Where? We can shop for a vehicle right now, wherever you are. Where are you? The Lowe's Hotel. Go to Fairleaves.org on that computer. Use the little drop-down menu there on where did you hear of us. Yeah, you'll be able to do it there.
Starting point is 01:20:25 I'm pretty sure. My Internet's a little shot. Yeah, I don't know. Get a, what do you call that, like a V-P? P.N thing? Is it anyone in Ukraine using a fake email address thing that makes it look like it's coming from Texas? So they can get better munitions? Or maybe so they can log on to fair lease.org. If they want to get a better lease, if they're on some national lease. Heard from tons of people who like, they are leasing with, let's say, D&M. I actually heard
Starting point is 01:20:57 DNM and that the Fair Lease terms were a lot better and Fairlease will actually buy you out of your current lease and help you get into a brand new vehicle with Fairlease.org. It's crazy. It is. Leave your man. For Fairlease.org. Anyway, yes. Dumbzone Day at the ballpark is what we are involved in today.
Starting point is 01:21:22 You've been any ball games this year? You didn't go to opening day, right? Did we go to a game together? I did not go to opening day. I go to one game per series throughout the year. And it really, it's amazing that I was able to have the self-control to wait until game three of this series. Yeah. Because things are so exciting right now.
Starting point is 01:21:45 And I think you were in Rangerland. You were a bit perplexed heading into this series because don't you just go to every bullpen game? You pick just bullpen games. It's the best way to really evaluate your whole team. That's right. Yes. You get to see more pitchers pitch. Wow.
Starting point is 01:22:04 Excuse me. Had a little banana during the break there. That was not a little banana. That was a king size. That was a magnum banana, buddy. Thanks, man. Appreciate. Appreciate you.
Starting point is 01:22:14 So you didn't park, so we got parking pass. Oh, actually, you know what? I'll wait until Sarah gets here and see if she's as any relatable. I have a parking situation. but I'd also like to evaluate the Lowe's Hotel first of all great place yeah but the one flaw I found in Lowe's the tiniest flaw but it is in my bathroom ratings you know I have a bathroom rating system yeah no I was based on cleanliness whatever the highest you can give that's what I would give the Lowe's hotel the hand towels they have actual towels I don't like the air of dryer that's terrible. The water flow, beautiful,
Starting point is 01:22:59 and it's touchless. It's great. It's like a little shower. It doesn't come out like all in one thing. It didn't make you work for it. It's a little tiny, you know what I mean? When your little water faucet is like a little shower
Starting point is 01:23:12 and not all coming out like a hose. You're happy with the volume. I like the little shower. It feels nice on your hands. God. You're dainty. The little, the soap thing.
Starting point is 01:23:23 Did you experience this too? Yeah, they skimp on you. It's maybe like a one square millimeter of soap. Oh, no. It's the very smallest little thing. Is the ladies' bathroom like that? Throw on a headset. Sarah Heppelin thought she was just here for us to look at.
Starting point is 01:23:39 Do the other one. Now, usually Sarah is, I'm like, look, if she shows up to a party, we're not here to talk to you. We're here. We invited you to look at you. But she is here now. Can you hear? Go the, no. Pull that.
Starting point is 01:23:52 Pull that in front of your mouth. Go the other way. Go back and back around. There you go. There you go. Sarah Heppala, folks, from the Dallas Morning News, from the New York Times bestselling author list. Hey, guys.
Starting point is 01:24:05 How you doing? Do you think that I made it onto the bestseller list because of, you know? Because of your cans? What are you saying? Oh, I don't know. No, I think the book is fantastic. It's the words. It's the words that you writ.
Starting point is 01:24:22 Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, but you are the guys. who every news story, you quickly want to do a little research. And I mean, if there's going to be a book that opens up with... This guy doesn't care. That opens up with like a sex scene. You're quickly Googling that.
Starting point is 01:24:37 The sex scene was a very big help. She knows how to capture an audience. Right, but if you were followed up, you could have lost interest if it was, you know... Like, how did she get to this point where she was a dude's laying on top of her? I need to know. No, it's the other way around. Could I be that dude? Dan.
Starting point is 01:24:52 You're on top of a dude. Thank you. Okay. You passed out on a dude. I didn't pass out. I came out of a blackout. So I was in and out of... A blackout is not a passout.
Starting point is 01:25:03 A blackout is like you're actually doing stuff, like sex. Exactly, but you can't remember it. And then you never remember it. Like sex. Pull that cable. It's like pulling your microphone down. That's what it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:13 There you go. How about that? Okay, how is your bathroom soap situation in the ladies' bathroom? Or do you not wash your hands when you do? It was... Ours was very tiny. Otherwise, 10 of 10, everything in that bathroom is perfect. I think that's right.
Starting point is 01:25:29 Yeah. I was taken by downstairs. The, what's it called, Freebird, Railbird. The lobby. The lobby. Beautiful. It's just beautiful here. What's going on?
Starting point is 01:25:43 I don't know. No, I don't want you to evaluate the whole hotel. What's in the lobby? Railbird, what's anybody talking about it? I don't have no idea what she just said. There was a beautiful coffee shop. Oh, okay. It's called Railbird?
Starting point is 01:25:58 Maybe. Okay, well, let's... Jesus. This is... I wanted to know. Did you get a... I killed your show. Did you use a parking pass from Blake?
Starting point is 01:26:07 Yeah. Okay. How was your parking? Ten out of ten. Was it fine? Yeah. Okay, the guy... Were they nice to you when you came in?
Starting point is 01:26:16 She was so nice to me. Oh, it was a she and Sarah's got big hands. That's not why. Everybody always treats her nice. That's not. I don't think it always works that way with women. Not always. I think sometimes they hate on, they have jealous.
Starting point is 01:26:31 You know what I did, Dan? I said, how's your day going? I said, how's it going? And she said, it's going to be a long day. And I said, looks like it. She said, 11,000 parking spaces in here. And I said, good luck to you, my friend. How do they do it?
Starting point is 01:26:47 Yeah. It's because they're ladies. And she just had a pleasant time. well no i had we're going to real bird later i had parking guy with attitude yeah major attitude that's what i heard uh he's an old guy and i showed him like it's a you know and now it's in the apple wallet and stuff i'm like here here's the uh like let's wave me through what's that um i just got this thing it says lot b well who are you with um well we're doing a show over at the Lowe's Hotel.
Starting point is 01:27:21 Lowe's, they're not supposed to have parking here. Lowe's. And I go, I don't know. I just got this, like, we're actually, though, we're going to the game then after. And, well, what do you? I'm like, I just want to park. And then I, so I know you're behind me. And I figure others are behind me.
Starting point is 01:27:40 And he's seeing this for the first time. So I was like, okay, well, there's going to be a, we're doing a show. We're at that hotel. And then we have a bunch of our listeners. We're going to go over, watch the game. And blah, blah, blah. That's why we're Texas Rangers, all this kind of stuff. I have this thing.
Starting point is 01:27:55 God, you've already just done way too much. Yeah, and I go, so I'm thinking, I'm trying to lessen the blow for you. And I said, I'm going to have, there's some other people that are probably going to be flashing this too. They're going to be coming in after me. He's like, oh, yeah, I think there's already a few here. And he pointed at like T. C's car in another car. I'm like, what do we just go through this for then?
Starting point is 01:28:15 He already did this. He did this. He did this. And then I walked up and T.C. is like, yeah. That's exact, Clayton, the exact same vibe I got from him too. Like a big, it took 10 minutes to get into the parking lot. Yeah, at some point you realize. And I asked him how his day was going when I started.
Starting point is 01:28:32 I say, hey, how's it going? Probably not as nice as she did, though. Yeah. I bet. Just old guys, I mean, that's what gives him purpose each day. And if he needs somebody to sit there and take it for 10 minutes, damn it, somebody's just going to have to sit there and take it. And you'll be that guy one day.
Starting point is 01:28:48 There was 11,000 parking spots, right? Or whatever she said? 1100, 1100, whatever. There was like four cars in there. Like, let's slow. I have a thing. It says this lot. It says lot being...
Starting point is 01:29:01 It can't be counterfeit. It's not paper anymore. It's digital. It's, you know, just wave me through. That's your only job. Not to sit here and give me attitude. McDow Creed. Just wave me through.
Starting point is 01:29:15 Well, that's you. You said when you got pulled over by a cop, you would be like, there's no small talk on where I've been or where I'm going. It's just give me the ticket and shut up. Yeah, it's true. It's just when you start dealing with olds at a baseball game, like you know you're in a different. Yeah. You're on a different timeline.
Starting point is 01:29:34 There's, the dying one. So before we get going, Sarah, can I ask about your 7-11 Romeo? Oh, yeah. I don't think she ever... Ghosted. Really? Never again. Have not heard a word.
Starting point is 01:29:45 I'm sorry to bring it up. How's, um... Angelou. He's doing good. He thought he got approved for Section 8 housing and turns out he didn't like it. It was in a rough neighborhood, so he's back to his long... Oh, unlike the Section 8 housing in Highland Park.
Starting point is 01:30:03 I think he was kind of going for like a good school system, maybe in Parker County somewhere. Oh, Angelo really does ask for a lot. I've spoiled him. It's my fault. Is that real? Yeah. He got approved for free housing?
Starting point is 01:30:15 And then he said it sucks? Dude, our show is just radicalizing people so hard. If you feel like you're not safe and it's in an unsafe part of town, maybe you don't want to live there. Like he'd rather sleep outside than? He's not outside. How do you know this information? He said what.
Starting point is 01:30:34 Buddy, I got a weekly call with him. Okay. I never knew this. Ran through it like he was on. You do a phone call with him? I try, really try not to. He ran through it like he was on. house hunters.
Starting point is 01:30:46 But it was a big day. This was a little far away from the heart of the city where Angelo's love for culture. Let's do that. Let's do a video. This one is a little more fit to entertain his buddies. So he's back at the long-term Motel 6. He's doing fine. He doesn't have a lot of money left in the month and we still got 20 days left.
Starting point is 01:31:05 You know he's on a $100 a month stipend. Oh, for sure. All right. So that's, he's 10 days in. He's got, I think he has $8. This sounds like me in college. Utilities or the like. So that's Angelo.
Starting point is 01:31:22 He's doing great. He's doing great. Hey, let's do viewer mail with Sarah here. Want to do that? That sounds excellent. You know what band this is? It's a dumb zone band. That's right.
Starting point is 01:31:37 Profits and outlaws. You ever hear of them? Yeah. I bet they've played things that Sarah has covered before because they play like when the Dallas Cowboys players have parties or gala's and things of that nature. Dan, did you know? That's a world you're a part of that.
Starting point is 01:31:59 Did you know that I used to be the music editor at the Dallas Observer? I did not. Yeah. Did you think that you were going to be a lot more impressed? Yeah, no, I thought I had him with that. I thought I finally had Dan's respect. So that's how you know local bands? Uh-huh, some of them.
Starting point is 01:32:18 Okay. Do you know who the Toadies are? This was a, it was very high Toadies season. It was Toadies, Old 97s. Bowling for soup? Sorta, Sparrows, you know, Danny's bands. No, Dan, not as much as guys don't yell at us, you had success. No, not bowling for soup.
Starting point is 01:32:42 You don't like bowling for soup? It's not about like or not. It's just that she was listing off real bands. You think bowling for soup is not a real band? I don't, it depends. Yeah, I mean, by my own. I would not have put them in the mix, but I understand they are from Dallas,
Starting point is 01:33:00 and they were around their time. Very successful. And they were very successful. But you guys are like music snobs. It's not so much snobs. They were no future janitors of America. That's not, that wasn't the name of the band, asshole. What was your band name?
Starting point is 01:33:17 That one might have been Five Minutes Stranger. Ooh, that's a good name. It feels like an autobiography? This one comes from Colin. Listen to y'all's pod from yesterday and heard someone mention Shannon Stone. You recall this was in the news just the other day, right?
Starting point is 01:33:37 The Rangers fan? What was it? It was the Randy Choate. That's right, Randy Cho. Ooh, yeah, same day. Haven't thought of that in a while, so I googled it, found this Bleacher Report article and thought this paragraph was very unnecessary. So I'm going to read you from a Bleacher Report news story
Starting point is 01:33:55 the day after that guy fell to his death at the ballpark. Ball players throw balls into the stands all the time, so I don't believe Hamilton can be blamed. Although I'm confident, his grief at the moment is off the charts. I believe the blame lies squarely on stone For a man whose profession as a firefighter is an enduring symbol of saving lives Stone showed an incredible, albeit final lack of common sense And who wrote that?
Starting point is 01:34:28 It's from Bleacher Report. You can see that I, it's from the article. I know it was 20 years ago, but were we doing that? were we doing you died but also you were a real big idiot about it i'm sure i was the next day i knew he's drinking and the headline of the article is shenan stone a senseless loss of life well could have stopped there but yeah but this is the gawker era you know gawker really changed the way that people wrote there was so much cruelty and sort of no pulling punches in both the headlines and the stories themselves you ever a gawker
Starting point is 01:35:07 employee? No, but we, I was at salon and we had a, we sort of pulled from the Gawker pool, you know, a lot of other publications would pick off those writers because they were so funny and they were so sharp. But everybody was trying
Starting point is 01:35:23 to metabolize that meanness. You had to punch into this very crowded internet. You know, it used to be that like you wrote for your own you know, local public, you know, you didn't have to compete with everybody else out there. Yes, no, I've made this point many, many times that there was a time where I could get by
Starting point is 01:35:45 as being kind of smart about a number of things, just by reading a little bit. And then the Internet happened. It was like, mm-mm-not even. No. So Salon, is that where, did you hire Ethan Strauss or you were like his boss or something? Oh, no, I was, I edited him on some stuff. He was in the San Francisco Bureau and I was in New York. Okay.
Starting point is 01:36:05 I mentioned you guys the other day that there's a number of studies out there about crime during NFL games and how crime is typically down during NFL games but obviously a huge spike right afterward and it spikes more based on upsets. Listener Evan
Starting point is 01:36:25 maybe this is an entire beat for Sarah said that friends in the healthcare industry and personal anecdote, you want to go to the ER during cowboy games, that that's the time, that people wait to go if they get injured during a cowboy game. It's dead? Like, that's a good, yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:49 Wow. That's a real chill time relative to the North. So better than after a cowboy game. Yeah, and better than maybe just normal. It's like the best time to go shopping at Whole Foods or Kroger or whatever is during the Super Bowl. Yeah. You've ever been to the ER, like, after midnight? Hmm.
Starting point is 01:37:11 Yeah. It's terrible. Yeah, I have. It's a different part of society, man. It's a wild west. Yeah, but she never did overnight. Does she say there's, didn't we have an ER doctor telling us there's lots of, like, rectum stuff going on? Every doctor we ever have, they're like, yes, there's nothing but rectum stuff.
Starting point is 01:37:33 Yeah, the Austin ER doctor told us that. Austin, ER doctor. And even AC, the nurse. Can your wife confirm? Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's just. It's just.
Starting point is 01:37:43 I'll come kind of waddling in, like, uh. Pretty embarrassed, yeah. And then, yeah, there's a hot wheel in there. Always a story about how I fell down. Hot wheel. Yeah. If you have to go to the hospital for Hot Wheel, you're not getting welcome back into the gay community. I think they're going to be, like, you pussy.
Starting point is 01:38:00 That makes you gay? I forgot to mention that if you were male. go ahead is brought to us by early bird CBD that one's fine yeah no because they got new promo code it just started September it is good for 20% off even if you've used our old promo codes dumb zone 20 so like we've had other they're pretty cool with us they keep giving us discounts because every time people order a bunch of them they'll come up with another one but this is the one right now for September.

Starting point is 01:38:57 Good for baseball. So we shall see. It says here, some people like to get a little bit buzz before they go for a hike or hit a swimming hole that's what it says right here does it really yeah and you've been wanting to do that but no one will go with you a swimming hole you have a friend sounds scary is no it doesn't it sounds inviting you would love to be in a hole and swim swimming holes are great what's your problem there and it says uh why are you making
Starting point is 01:39:28 everything rapey because that's what you're doing by saying well how does it sound scary then We have a wide range of customers from young professionals to moms. Are you still doing the ad? Yeah, I'm reading the swimming holes in the ad copy. So get some of Early Bird CBD. What's the website? Or did we already say it? Yeah, no, you had it.
Starting point is 01:39:50 Early Bird CBD.com. Well, there you go. Dumbzone 20. I have a kite email. Okay. Oh. I was talking about kites the other day. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:00 Not a kite fan. Not a kite fan? Me. I'm just. What? Why? Feels like a lot of mess for not a lot of... Andrew says, no need to respond to that.
Starting point is 01:40:10 Well, okay, I won't, Andrew. But as a recently emasculated kite dad, I want to let you know your take was as bullseye accurate as any take you've ever had. I got completely cucked on the $20 Amazon kite while two beautiful disappointed girls watched their piece of shit dad unable to make it work. Meanwhile, 50 yards away is Superdad.
Starting point is 01:40:33 Damn. Flying the absolute piss out of a super awesome fighter jet kite. This guy's funny. An adventure. He's got a sleeveless shirt, huge guns, great head of hair also. Horrible. This is from Andrew. Damn.
Starting point is 01:40:47 Because I was describing a somewhat similar situation when I was, when my kids were very little, and I took them out kite flying. Yeah, if you don't, if you're not nailing the kite, don't even try. Don't get a little limp dick kite out there, man. And another thing, once you get that. Here's what I did. You go get the Kroger kite, and not Kroger, Target. And then I tried to, like, save it. Just throw it away.
Starting point is 01:41:14 When you're done with that, just throw it away. It's, like, because then it's in your garage and it's real, already beat up now. And trying to use that again, impossible. Just spend another $20 bucks every kite fly. That's what I say. Unless you become, like, cool kite guy with a big inflatable kite. God, it feels like it would take so much work. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:41:37 Or are they just guys who, I bet it's just Boy Scout and military guys just know how to do that shit. And that's it. Do you not like the kite because it makes you feel incompetent? Yeah. Well, yeah. Because I love a kite. Like, if it was the way it's depicted on TV where you're just like prancing along. Hey, what if you had the experience of messing with a weed eater, except it doesn't, like, weed eat your lawn?
Starting point is 01:42:02 It's just a beating. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But how many times you're just kind of running and then like it gets out, oh, no, no, they're going. Oh, and then it's on the ground. Why, Dad? Why is it doing that? And then they're looking over at their friend, yeah. A lot of discussion the other day of the city of Philadelphia after Blake visited there.
Starting point is 01:42:21 I've never been, despite my sort of lust for that city. And Blake reminded us that they're just really stoked on Ben Franklin. Yeah. There's like a Ben Franklin that. walks around downtown square i didn't see him oh my god he's adorable are any impersonators adorable ben franklin i love ben franklin i'm so hot for ben franklin go on why this is kind of what i wanted to talk about because because one of the hottest things about men is just competence is just the ability to do stuff not this is us with the kite but he put a key on his ben franklin not only
Starting point is 01:43:03 like his first writing thing, he was writing under a woman's name because he was so young, he was like a 15 year old boy. And he like didn't want, so he published things as like a middle-aged woman, which is just wild.
Starting point is 01:43:16 And then he goes on to great writing prominence. He's one of the best writers of all the founding fathers. Then talk about competence with a kite. The guy discovers electricity. Yeah. Then he invents spectacles. Yeah, it feels kind of Justin Thore, you know?
Starting point is 01:43:32 There is no. How's he doing leftovers and tropic thunder? I swear to God, there's something with the harmonica in there. Wow. Now we're talking. Something with the harmonica. No, I mean. He just keeps inventing things, and it's so incredibly inspiring to watch him.
Starting point is 01:43:49 Like, he was a shit dad. He was a terrible partner. He was so bad. He has this tragic story with his son because his son remained loyal to Britain. Ooh. And so they have this tragic fond of. falling out. He was not a good father. And it's really sad, but what he accomplishes is hot. He's like, he's on my laptop. Like, that's my picture is Ben Franklin.
Starting point is 01:44:15 This is the weirdest thing I've ever heard. Yeah. Double-click the old mouse. Ben Franklin. How for Ben Franklin. What can I say? Would you watch Ben Franklin porn if that existed? I mean, I don't like porn in general, but like would I watch Ben Franklin? Yes, of course. Because it'd be like the knickers. Oh, by the way, he was such a ladies man. Yeah, he was. He was such a ladies man. And he basically, like, cruised around Europe because for a while he was the spokesperson for the revolution.
Starting point is 01:44:45 So he would go around places and just be like, come over. Damn, you know that crushed, that line. Oh. Hey, I'm one of the only Americans. Yes, exactly. And all the ladies just thought he was hilarious. And he would get, I mean, in their pants, he was not a faithful guy. And he had a very dirty sense of humor.
Starting point is 01:45:02 I mean, he's my kind of guy. Well, so this is why this came up the other day. In addition to Blake, Blake visiting Philadelphia. And I want to go back to the impersonator thing. I still don't. Even if you love Ben Franklin, impersonator. There's something weird about the impersonator no matter what. You're right.
Starting point is 01:45:20 You're right. You're right. I said, I believe he had syphilis. And a few people in, no, he didn't have syphilis. But there is this article about denying. it saying yes he was a known womanizer this is from a history oasis dot com he loved intelligent and beautiful women and they adored him franklin used this time with these women for intellectual discourse and networking yeah which is uh which is one way to put it i guess i didn't know that there
Starting point is 01:45:51 were people that were just this slicked up for i've never heard like ever ever you'll hear i don't know that the Ben Franklin fetish is, like, widely shared. Okay, well, more than Mary. I just happen to have it bad for him. Okay. That's great. Founding father I'd most like to bone.
Starting point is 01:46:14 What'd you get syphilis? Well... Yeah, what if he had syphilis? I mean, you know what? You know what? The most erotic organ is between the ears. I would just talk to him. Ciflis makes your brain all crazy, too.
Starting point is 01:46:30 yeah i once looked like him so uh hello dan and jake i want to make you aware of a new play that is debuting a month from today at theater three in dallas anybody know what that is yeah it's in the quadrangle okay why is it three then well it was theater there was whatever it's just smaller the play is called the trade a tragedy in four quarters it's about the Luca trade story that's actually a pretty good story hopefully enough time is past that y'all might go see this
Starting point is 01:47:10 could be a fun dumb zone event or at least something dumb zone subscribers could attend and score some points with their significant others by having a fancy night out at the theater a little preview blurb I guess what can you expect from the trade laughs. It's very funny, says playwright Matt Lyle.
Starting point is 01:47:34 The show is part over the top, epic Greek tragedy, and part irreverent sports parody. Versions of all the major figures are there. Luca, Niko, Mark Cuban, Dumonts. Fans, be leagered, Mazz employees, beer vendors, Medusa, everyone. So. Who's playing Luca? I don't know. All I have is this email that was sent to.
Starting point is 01:48:00 to me. Aet and Diggs. But it sounds like you'll be finding out when you interview people involved with this. Sure. I'll bet you go see it. There's no doubt Sarah Heppala will do this. I'm definitely curious. And I feel...
Starting point is 01:48:12 You're like the culture person at the DM, Dallas Morning News, right? One of them. People and scenes is more my deal. But I just feel bad for the person that's playing Luca. Because I feel like everybody's going to go in and just be disappointed with that person. Somebody has to play like Hitler. No, it's like the opposite. They're just going to be disappointed because they love Luca and this guy will not.
Starting point is 01:48:35 I think of Nico in my head, yeah, that's a tough one. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, like, you would just sit down and be like, oh, that guy's not Luca. Like immediately. Because no one is. Exactly. No one is our chubby little buddy.
Starting point is 01:48:47 So we had the game the other day with the delay for lightning. And Dan was really upset because we couldn't see the lightning. So the delay I was upset there's a delay They've gotten like really touchy on that way Thank you Yeah we were debating You're saying back in my day
Starting point is 01:49:07 We were debating Back in my day We would you know Stand with a kite Until we discovered electricity Right What if they had told Ben Franklin No you can't be out there
Starting point is 01:49:16 We'd be sitting here right now In the dark Right Right Yeah we were wondering Whether or not Like just being chill about dangerous weather
Starting point is 01:49:25 would be ushered back in with the cultural the cultural wave. There's so many other things people are cool with. Yeah, we have, kids are still passing out at football practice

Starting point is 01:55:43 aesthetically, and I love those ladies. Those are my favorite cheerleaders. Didn't you buy him a football phone off eBay? No. It's not a If you're off eBay, it's Dolly Python. What are you saying? I'm saying a very cool store. Oh, that's here in town?

Starting point is 01:56:04 There's one in Oak Cliff, too. Dolly Python. And I was wandering through it, and I was like, these guys have to have this phone. Yeah, it's a Doritos football phone, celebrating the Super Bowl. Evan, we were talking about eBay the other day. I had a phase, I guess. Blake never did, really. eBay?
Starting point is 01:56:24 Oh, yeah, because you were a baseball card kid. No. No, I had definitely had an eBay phase. In fact, Killer and I, a long time ago, found probably like 200 of these office phones that Cumulus was getting rid of. And so we set up an account to sell these phones. These guys, they seriously did have like a little
Starting point is 01:56:43 the office style relate, the little schemes they would come. cook up together. Acts like he hates him, but you guys are fencing phones. He's sold six or seven. But of course, like we found them. We were like, these go for like 30 bucks. Like, we could make a lot of money.
Starting point is 01:56:59 God, the beaten engineer life. Evan in Kansas City had a memory of basically finding a set of golf clubs. Try to get it back to the owner. owner doesn't live at the address anymore this is like 25 years ago back when you could fly cheap sell the uh post sell ship all the clubs on ebay you make 350 bucks had buddies in san diego you buy the flights you get there all you really need to do is buy booze and herb for the week and uh you're done because of ebay and i remember doing stuff like that somebody had like uh somebody had like a hot tub online that we were trying to buy and it was like a seven
Starting point is 01:57:48 eight hour drive and we had hatched up this plan to go get it like you needed to rent a trailer the eBay just like opened up the possibilities of like what you could go get what you could go sell like we were scheming on eBay quite often now that I think about it not really successfully but did you get that hot tub ended up and we were up to like it was a several thousand dollar bid too
Starting point is 01:58:16 because the deal was you would get a lot of these deals on eBay where the deal was you can have it if you come get it so it would be like way cheaper so then we would spend the time up until when the bid would close like trying to figure out I do remember guys like picking up like four wheelers and shit like that
Starting point is 01:58:31 if you can get it you can have it the hot tub proved to be a little bit too much I was always really intimidated by the bidding aspect of eBay. Like, I think that was scary to me. So I liked it when they introduced the, like, one purchase. Like, just buy it. Like, okay, fine, I'm done.
Starting point is 01:58:51 I never liked the idea. The competition, I think, was maybe that's why guys. I've known a lot of guys that were really into eBay stuff. They're like, oh, I bought this truck in Florida. I got to drive down to Florida. It's like, was there not a truck in Texas? I almost bought the mutt cut van from Dumb and Dumber. Really?
Starting point is 01:59:11 One night. How much was it? Probably like 17,000 or something in there, right? The mid... More than the hot tub. 10s, like 10 to 20,000, somewhere in there. And what happened? This is many years ago.
Starting point is 01:59:28 It was the very early 2000s. And... But weren't you going to have to go get it also? I think so, well, the main thing is it was New Year's Eve. And I was doing a show with Bob Sturm. I know him. A little Bob and Dan show back then. Were you at the ticket yet?
Starting point is 01:59:52 Yeah, I wasn't with you guys. It was the old building, yeah, but you worked around us. Were you? Okay, T.C. wasn't yet there. I may have been an intern. That was right. But I remember what you guys were. would always do New Year's Eve.
Starting point is 02:00:08 We would always, well, we did every Star's game for 14 years. And so, I can't even believe that I did that. Dude, I think about it all the time. I would be at every home stars game, and I would do the postgame show. Like, can you imagine me driving downtown now for like? You would literally have to get a place downtown. For four games. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:00:33 Anyway, so yeah, it's New Year's Eve. And we did a show that day as well, like whatever, noon to three or if they threw us on for the afternoon drive, whatever. The point is, somebody had emailed us and said, hey, look, the muck cup cuts van is for sale on eBay. So we talked about it all day, and we got listener donations that ended up equaling, like, I think the price at that time was like $15,000, but we got donations of $19,000. to help buy this for us. That's a beautiful story. So we had $19,000 to play with. And the whole press box was gathered around our computer the whole game
Starting point is 02:01:19 as we are bidding back and forth with somebody and blah, blah, blah. And at the very end, someone grabbed it. Like we thought we were winning. We had like this bid of night. We had all the money, 19,000. Somebody swoops in with 195 and takes it. And then what happens is like the time runs out and then the timer, yeah, there's a timer and it's like 10 minutes left in the bidding, whatever. And everybody is get like media members, everybody from the stars, we're all into this.
Starting point is 02:01:46 And then waking up like the next day, such a relief that we didn't own the Muttcutt van. Yeah. Like could you imagine like we'd have to go get it? Where are we going to store it? Insurance, taxes. Does it drive? Does it drive? Repair it.
Starting point is 02:02:03 It was the original van. So it's 30 years, however old it was, and I was so happy that we didn't win it. But the juice that night, it was incredible. And I was so upset that we lost it. It's very funny, too, that it was, like, around the holidays, and it's not like, hey, let's see if we can get everybody in on this charity thing. Right, no, no, so buy us the Munk Cups fan. See if you could ride it off somehow. So did we ever settle where that music bed came from, the hold music?
Starting point is 02:02:33 No. It's still playing. Nah, it's a different one. I think we'd settled this internally. It's from the Open for Business video. What do you mean? Let's hear. Hi, I'm Dan.
Starting point is 02:02:50 And I'm Jake. And? I'm Blake. And together we're the dumbzo. So, yeah, I knew I'd heard that a hundred times, Clayton a thousand, since he made the video. Okay. So our old video that we put out when we were allowed to take advertising Yeah, so that, yeah, it's something that lands to us
Starting point is 02:03:12 But I'm with Sarah, the one you played initially, yes It sounded exactly like every whole music ever Look at Jabba the Jake That wasn't that bad It's fine with me I know, because you look great now Of course it's fine Whatever, I don't know

Starting point is 02:07:43 You know, we were, T.C. was talking like a pirate now? Yeah. Miao. I bet. T.C. found something the other day called pedal pumping pole. which is It's individuals, females, you don't see their faces either. I guess it's an offshoot of a foot fetish,
Starting point is 02:08:03 but it's just women revving engines. Yeah, it's... Barefoot. You know how I learned about that? A hot rod that they are... In 2001, I wrote for a website, and my bio said I like to drive barefoot. Wow.
Starting point is 02:08:18 Because I did. Chumbed the waters a little bit. I had no idea. Yeah. And so I would get these solicit. from gentlemen that were like, could I have a, you know, it's 2001 too. You know, we didn't have iPhones. I have some pictures of you driving barefoot or whatever.
Starting point is 02:08:36 And I was like, why? You know, I had no idea. I eventually had to take it out of my bio because it was, it was unintentionally provocative. Sure. Anyways, I don't recall how we started talking about that. What's the weirdest thing? Like, is that the weirdest thing anybody's asked you for? Not at all.
Starting point is 02:08:58 No, there's no way. There's no way. Well, on Tinder, it was such a wild west for a while, and people would put in their, in their bios, like, I'm into gigantism. And then I'm so curious that I'd be like, well, let's match. And then I'd be like, what's gigantism? And they were like, well, I like being squashed. Yeah, like videos where the woman's just, like, you know, giant.
Starting point is 02:09:22 Like, honey, I shrunk the kid style. Wow. The erotic side of that. So he liked big ladies to sit on him? But to be crushed. He was like, are you big? And I was like, I mean, I'm five for two. And he was like, I don't.
Starting point is 02:09:37 Hang up. He was like, I don't know that that's going to work. And it was really interesting to me because he was so sincere about it. You know, he was just like. Brass tax. Brass tax. I don't want to mess around here. I need to be crushed.
Starting point is 02:09:47 And you don't seem like you're going to do it. And I was like, well, I'll get into it. But I always, you know, I think. part of me was like troll I was in like doing a lot of personal essays so sort of like trolling for interesting things but I was also like genuinely fascinated by this cabinet door to the erotic psyche that had been opened by Tinder it was just so strange that all of a sudden it was like oh wow okay so people are really into smelly feet like some people would say like I want smelly feet yeah oh yeah for sure you
Starting point is 02:10:24 You know, what do you think there's like, God, I'm only into regular, I'm only into regular good-smelling feed. I'm not some animal. I don't know, man. Yeah. It's wild. Like the stuff that Sarah, Sarah's DMs have to be way different than dudes, you know. Well, no word on whether or not this was an erotic dart hit on this kid. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:10:50 We're back to the cat story. No, the kid got hit with the dart. They've arrested a 45-year-old man. Intentionally like... Forty-five? Yeah. Wait. I thought it was like a 13-year-old.
Starting point is 02:11:00 You know how hard it is to throw a dart and like hit it like a bull's eye? Absolutely. It was an accident. Oh, it was? I'm guessing. It's not, I mean, you know, it's... We don't know. How do you get arrested?
Starting point is 02:11:11 Yeah, arrested for an accident? It doesn't sound like an accident at all. He was arrested for cruelty to non-lifestock animal. It's a third-degree felony, not even a misto. So you're just trying to get the cat to stop doing something, so you throw that at them. But you're a freaking ex-man. But you're an asshole.
Starting point is 02:11:28 Yeah. It's like throwing a shoe at a cat. Isn't there like a dart league, like on ESPN? Of course. Yeah. Is this guy like a prospect now? He's like the natural, you know? Shadow fighting for her life.
Starting point is 02:11:44 It's the beginning. Looks like she's just laying there and not really fighting. It's true. It's the beginning of a Nicholas Cage film. He's the best. Yeah. You guys know what they do to... And he's in prison.
Starting point is 02:11:55 They have to get him out. They got to bust him out to make sure that he can win the ESPN dart championship. Oh, man. This guy's going to the slammer. You don't want to know what they do to guys who throw darts in kids in prison. It's the worst. Mess you up. So I've seen this story sort of spiraling out of control a bit online,
Starting point is 02:12:16 and I'm hoping Sarah is plugged in on this one. that she's like the anti-woke. I am? Yeah. Okay. I thought I was just a journalist, but okay. There's a Texas A&M class, right? Oh, I do know about this.
Starting point is 02:12:37 Okay, good. You can help me then. So there's a class, a children's literature class taking place at Texas A&M, and there's a person in this class, a student who objects to some of the materials that are being taught in this class and then I think that's when they start other people maybe also start filming and from there I haven't watched this I've just read it yeah I watched the video this morning okay so basically it's a children's literature class where there they're for some reason there is a lesson about gender and I don't understand why but it's it's something like you know
Starting point is 02:13:12 this is part of children's literature and so this person is saying that the video begins in the middle of it so you don't know what the teacher said but the person is saying i object i think that what you're teaching us is against the laws of texas and it's against my religion and the professor says well you can't deny my my reality and then the student says but i think this is like illegal or something and the professor says this is definitely not illegal and if you have a problem you can file a complaint and the student says I have filed a complaint and the teacher says yeah that's why we had so and so you know observing us the other day and basically it gets a little bit more heated and then the professor says you can leave if you you know and so she says yeah I'm going to
Starting point is 02:14:08 so that's the video and there's enough in there that you can tell that the teacher has given some lesson on gender and then is bristling at the idea oh because the the student says you know the state of texas says there's only two texts two sexes and the teacher's like you can't tell me that well the teacher has been fired oh uh i knew the academic that's what i mean i guess so the when i read it this morning the teacher hadn't been fired yet um it was that basically this the dean of this school, they'd gotten together and basically decided, hey, I know this is what the laws of Texas are. You go ahead and teach your, you know, in the name of academic freedom, you go ahead and teach your class the way it makes sense to you, is what my sense is.
Starting point is 02:15:02 Yeah, I believe the governor actually called for the professor to be fired. Right. So not yet, but I just want to say it's really weird to just show up at college, regardless of what your politics are you are i feel like a huge dork if you get to college and you're just like i'm gonna get here to film my teacher and be like you're not supposed to be talking about that and i'm gonna tell the people in charge of it or whatever like jesus christ we've lost the kids yeah it feels like i don't know it doesn't matter left right you're gonna interface with some shit you don't agree with but narking on your college professor like you're a dork am i the only one that thinks it's such a weird really weird that there's a college class on children's
Starting point is 02:15:44 literature? No, because, you know, there's going to be people who teach it and, you know, they want to know, like, what's kind of behind this, I would think, and how do we talk to kids about college? In college? No, I mean, you're training to be a, I don't know. At A&M, it's not, but it's not a teaching class. It's a children's literature class. I just, to me, I just don't understand what this class is doing. Like, are you reading Dr. Seuss? What are we reading? I mean, yeah, there's probably, yeah, there's going to, there's going to be a, you know, Adults talking about children's things and the themes they're in. But, yes, it may be weird.
Starting point is 02:16:21 I'm not paying to take it. But I also think it's a really dork move if you do pay to take it. And then you show up and you're like, these syllabus is out of bounds of the state of tech. This is the weird thing to do. It's college. Yeah, to like no. Shouldn't you be excited if it's illegal?
Starting point is 02:16:39 Shouldn't you be like what we're learning is illegal? Yeah. That's how I would have felt back in the, the 90s is like this shit is not even legal yeah at some point that's that's what you're hoping for in college uh well you got to do this story for blake every single time the fort worth zoo has welcome two new lion cubs blake names um let's see givante and miles You guys remember whatever they named that
Starting point is 02:17:14 Giraffed after Jason Witten and it died like 10 days later? Why is, why are you laughing? Why are you laughing? No, I do think it's interesting just from Dan's standpoint of like how do these things end up like news stories? You tell us, does the news just say
Starting point is 02:17:35 every time there's an exotic birth of an animal it shows up they just sit out of press release and it shows up at everyone's... I know a little bit about this. Home page. Let me tell you something about zoos. They have unbelievably well-oiled PR teens. It seems as such, yeah.
Starting point is 02:17:52 And as soon as they have a baby, because all the zoos are just like waiting to have good news. They've had bad news for so long. It's like, you're cruel to animals. The da-da-da-da-da. They're just like babies, babies. And so they send out press releases to every single, publication and what we know as news people is that people will click on them so it's just it's a sort of everyone wins situation so it's click bait and it also makes the zoos feel really good
Starting point is 02:18:23 well makes me feel really good too uh we go to uh another college story here this is very shades of marshal henderson the uh former sharpshooter for l d Bell and Ole Miss. A University of Texas student is under fire online for pretending to be an unhoused person on social media. They say for the purposes of an experiment. What school? UT.
Starting point is 02:18:59 Also the phrasing, under fire online. Yeah. To me, it means nothing. It means this is not an actual story. And we're pretty lazy. for even turning this into a story because we just saw this on Twitter and now it's a story to us back in my day um no because what will happen here is the same thing as what happened
Starting point is 02:19:23 in the story we were just talking about is it ends up online and now it's a matter of is this person going to be expelled for this is this person going to be it's the same as haircut i guess it works It's the same as the story of the Karen cutting, the hair-cutting baseball stealing lady. Yeah, I mean, it's online, but if her job thinks she's a bitch and they want to fire her for it. Yeah, maybe they already kind of had her on the list. We're like, hey, look, now you're going to be fired, and we'll blame this thing, but it's not this thing. But I wonder if you can get away with this from just and actually do it as a college experiment. it like I'm doing us to see if I could do something provocative online to see if I get expelled
Starting point is 02:20:08 no I'm more meant just be homeless oh just document the experience of not having anything and this guy didn't lose his fantasy league or no he did not leave because isn't that on our list of possible we might do that I mean Jake that that sounds like a journalism experiment that I've heard people do like back in the a aughts they would like go and And live as a homeless person for three days. Yeah. But you would never know about it. Guys, do you remember Soulman?
Starting point is 02:20:41 Oh, yeah. Are we talking about the movie? Yeah. Hell yeah. They used to run it on Comedy Central nonstop. And then Blackface is like, I don't know. And, dude, it is the funniest, okay, as far as blackface being funny. It's like the whitest looking guy, right?
Starting point is 02:20:56 It's the shittiest black face. Like, it's so comical. It's so bad. comes hell. Yeah. Ah. Outsiders. No, I just, I enjoyed it.
Starting point is 02:21:09 This story is interesting to me, just like I said, because there is value, I think, in showing, like, somebody saying, this is how it's what it's like to live like this. And you teach people. And you say that it's a social experiment so that you can also laugh at it, which is all we're doing for $100 a month with Angelo. getting the comedy by saying Listen, we're actually helping this guy out But I don't think there's anything to be critical of Like as far as the I don't know
Starting point is 02:21:43 Nobody's going to get cancelled over this I feel like we're done with cancel The thing is that There's too many opinions There's just too many opinions And we don't know what to do with them And so the news is in a bind because just because everybody's making noise on Twitter, does that make it more newsworthy?
Starting point is 02:22:06 Or should you dig in your heels and say, no, we're not going to cover it because we don't do that kind of thing? But by virtue of the fact that it's so big on Twitter, they made it news. So who's deciding what news is is sort of like a big shit show in the 21st century right now? We don't know. I would agree with that. The tail is wagging the dog. I don't. I would agree with that.
Starting point is 02:22:26 There's your news. Imagine if you had cameras, cell phone cameras, and you were in college. The dumbs don't news. Like, Ansems rock. That was a good news. A girl scrolling DoorDash in class the other day, and somebody in the row behind her just took a picture of it and uploaded it.
Starting point is 02:22:48 And I'm like, man, you can't even just scroll for deals during class and peace. Did you see that guy that got... that tried to slide into the DMs of that Ph.D. student. And then she basically posted all their correspondence and was like, men need to get their shit together. Don't tell me he, like, killed himself or something. No, she got, she, she, she, but it was weird because she got absolutely, um, pounced on. Got to be careful out there.
Starting point is 02:23:22 For making public the DM? Yeah. Gotta be careful. He had basically made it clumsy come on. He had said, you know, hey, I saw you at this event. And he very quickly was like, I read your dissertation, but I don't agree with it. And she was like, okay, bye. And I guess they were both Hagellian philosophers, which makes this totally intolerable.
Starting point is 02:23:42 But anyway, he was like a big deal, Higalian philosopher. It turns out that she was sort of trying to give him some sort of reckoning. and all these people came and defended him for basically making a clumsy come on. Climsy guys are back, Dan. All right. Oh, and by the way, if it makes you feel any other way, she included his name in it.
Starting point is 02:24:09 So his handle was in it. So you knew who he was. Which I thought was totally unnecessary. But it was just a clumsy come on and not like a... Oh, no, he just said, I don't like your dissertation. Like, he was trying to start a conversation by saying, I don't agree with your dissertation. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:24:23 That he was like, AI is da-da-da-da-da-da. Galian thought is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. What an idiot. You just agree. And she just said, oh, you're not getting in her pants that way. I agree. And she just said, okay, good luck with that. And then she.
Starting point is 02:24:36 I'm also really into religion. Like, whatever, just say whatever you guys. Exactly. I can skateboard. Yeah, exactly. But then she posted it all and was like. Jake's like, I'd love to go out partying with you. I'm not drinking right now, but yeah.
Starting point is 02:24:48 Right, yeah. I've just, I got a blood thing going on. Yeah. It was interesting. That reminds me of an underdog fantasy. Higher, lower? That's kind of the way you can pick. Playing underdog is easy.
Starting point is 02:25:08 We need to do a couple. You pick whether your favorite players will go higher or lower on stats, like touchdowns or receiving yards or interceptions. I'll take the George Pickens over, or excuse me. The George Pickens higher. Higher. Higher. Yes.
Starting point is 02:25:23 Higher. And then you put George Pickens over. George Pickens against another, let's say, number two receiver from another team. You're going to say that one lower? Or lower, yes. And then you get your picks right. You can win up to 5,000 times your cash. And you could start with as little as $1.

Well, the Rangers allow you to bring in your own food. Sweet. But only if it's in a clear plastic bag, and the clear plastic bag is limited.

Starting point is 02:29:49 Anyway, it's a September. It's a good day for it, too. It's beautiful out there. You know, September 11th? Do you know the September 11th is the last day that Jake ever had an alcoholic drink one year ago? No way, September 11th? He's going to get his chip. Why are you doing it today?
Starting point is 02:30:09 I don't know. You get a chip? Oh, because you might fall off tonight. I was with him that day. No, he was. You might fall off tonight if I mentioned this today. No, this is insurance. This is insurance.
Starting point is 02:30:19 He cannot. That's too shameful. I told him. I told them. You've had enough. You're throwing your life away. Yeah, that's not, yeah. It is very funny that I was with heart attack. I just mentioned it to Sarah because I know she's a fellow degenerate. Yeah, former degenerate. I thought you're always a good. Yeah, no, it is.

Starting point is 02:31:47 Yeah, my last boyfriend was half Ethiopian. I was laughing about this yesterday. I'll bet you dinners were cheap. I was kind of thinking, but... The origin of how we got Marathon, the guy ran the 24 miles or whatever and then died. And then to celebrate him, we now see how fast we can do it and live. Yeah, right. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:32:10 And what was this person's bid? The first black African? That's right. So was it getting just... run by South Africans before that? I don't know. I don't know. Have you ever visited one of those places where they think it's weird when you run? Like, I had a friend that worked in Costa Rica for a long time,
Starting point is 02:32:28 and they would all gather and watch her run in the mornings. They were like, why the wet lady's running? Like, they thought it was really funny that you would run without anything chasing you. I'll bet you they thought it was funny. On this day in 1971, Golden Richards, he was a player playing for Brigham Young, returned five punts for 219 yards, and seven kickoffs for 247 yards against North Texas State.
Starting point is 02:32:59 Damn, punt returns rule. The mean green. Just punt returns in general? Yeah, you know, it's just not, they don't make them like that anymore. One of my favorite pictures from the 70s of the cheerleaders is them hanging out at this club with Golden Richards. and you can just tell the rules haven't cracked down on the cheerleaders yet

Is something coming up? Like, do we have an Olympic this year? Yeah, what's going on? Probably. What's the next big thing?
Starting point is 02:34:09 Well, every two years now, right? So Paris was last summer, wasn't it? Have we straightened everything out from COVID? So there's no Olympics this year. I think next year it'll be the Winter Olympics. Everyone's in agreed. Thank you. Okay.

Starting point is 02:34:38 Was released from a Washington Mental Hospital. for good. He is the guy who tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981, and he now walks among us, and I believe, has a music career. Yeah, yeah. You know, he needs to see if he can get booked again, because I think he was trying to get booked during the peak of what, you know,
Starting point is 02:35:00 quote-unquote, the social media cancel culture era, because venues would book him, and then they would get bombarded with negative reaction. Negative stance. And then he would have to cancel. But I don't know I think the coolest thing about that guy Didn't what's his Jody Foster say
Starting point is 02:35:18 Like it was actually kind of Kind of hot No she never said that She never said it was kind of hot Wasn't she saying I think she said I think she said it's just really flattering Yeah

Starting point is 02:46:10 Yeah, a Tunisian criminal. So is this like one of those Gary Gilmore things where they broke out? You remember he decided he wanted to be killed by firing squad. So they brought that back for him. Maybe. Let's look. In the 70s. because he wanted his death to be the most sort of
Starting point is 02:46:28 like they gave you get the metal they gave you options and he wanted his to be the most brutal so that it would kind of make a statement about the act boy this guy was a monster why he did some bad stuff

Starting point is 02:47:18 I was forced into the game gig economy by a no but what I do hear about what I do hear about guillotine's is that it doesn't go through in one slice so you have to keep you have to keep chopping it and that's
Starting point is 02:47:33 really brutal also died on this day Ted Steppian of the rule of the rule and Fritz von Eric oh that's like a local person that people care about but she's just so dismissive and that's what happened
Starting point is 02:47:50 What are the Von Error? What do they do? Have you seen Ironcloth? No. Well, it's because you didn't grow up in Dallas that you didn't go to the Sportatorium. So, like, all the dudes that grew up in Dallas that are our age went to the Sportatorium and, like, knew what a big deal it was to go see the Von Erick's. And they would do like pizza.
Starting point is 02:48:10 What did they do? They were wrestlers. Oh, okay. That sounds great. They would do Pizza Hut commercials. No, Pizza In. For Pizza Out, it's Pizza In. And it was a Von Erick's, and they were cool dudes.

So closing remarks with Sarah Hepelow brought to us by Frankel and Frankel, our personal injury attorneys. If you happen to spill your soup from your bag and your lap on the way home, you could do an accident. I suggest calling the Frankles. Are they going to sue you because you gave them the soup?
Starting point is 02:48:47 No, I'm just saying you're in an accident. This is the point. You're an accident. You're hurt. Now, if you were at fault because you were eating soup while you're driving, that's probably going to, they might not be able to help you. I feel like you should still call them. Okay.
Starting point is 02:49:01 Even if it's a cold soup, like a gazpacho or something? Yeah, they'll fight the insurance companies for you. If you're a sicko? Yeah, they'll say, look, it was a cold soup. That's why you can't blame this person. You've got to blame the semi-driver. That's right. They'll play the blame game with sprinkles.
Starting point is 02:49:19 214 or 817 and then dial all threes. Thank you, Frankel and Frankel. Are you ready for some baseball? I'm ready for some baseball. What do they say? What's the baseball song? What is the baseball song? Is there a baseball song?
Starting point is 02:49:43 Let's get ready to play ball. We're talking baseball. Do you know that song? That sounds like basketball. This sounds like the Curtis blows up. Anyway, how many games you've been to do this year? This is my first. Okay.
Starting point is 02:49:57 But I went last year to see Rhett Miller sing the national anthem. Okay. So I've been to Globe Life Field before. Did he fail? No. Did you give it a thumbs down? He was great. Were you there to review it?
Starting point is 02:50:08 Did you give it jeers? Yeah. Cheers or jeers. What are you writing about right now? Oh, you know what I'm doing on Friday? I'm going to a high tea with Sarah Ferguson. the Duchess of York because she's coming to Dallas.
Starting point is 02:50:23 Did I just render you everyone just asleep? Say it again? Sarah Ferguson. So what does that mean, Duchess of York? What are you then? Is she going to be the queen? She used to be married to Andrew, the one that got snagged up in the whole Epstein shenanigans.
Starting point is 02:50:38 Nice. But back in the 80s, she was kind of on Team Diana in terms of not fitting in with royal family and she had like eating disorders. she eventually became a spokesperson for either Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig, I can't remember. I'm looking at the ladies. I'm like, who was it?
Starting point is 02:50:57 See, I always tell these guys back in my day, our ladies had eating disorders. 100%. Now they got all big butts and stuff. Yeah. No, you've probably been thrilled to see the transition back, though. We're going back? Well, it's just like, whoa, I mean.
Starting point is 02:51:12 A little more meat on the bone is what he's saying. I'm just saying every other, like three out of every four girls in our high school had anorexia. Oh, it was a contagion. He was upset that we started celebrating thickness in women at all. That's right. And now that culturally, with boob back, but seems to have to take a back seat, which is ridiculous to play the zero-sum game.
Starting point is 02:51:36 Right. But that's... We've only got enough room for one, right? Yeah, but that's where Dan comes down on it. Anyway... Did I tell you guys the class hierarchy of this? Yes. Oh, I did.
Starting point is 02:51:47 Okay. Well, go ahead. Well, it was something that somebody said on Twitter, I found it real fascinating, which was that, like, lower classes are really, like, non-college educated are really into the butt. And middle class are... But there's way too much cross... Okay. Let me just say...
Starting point is 02:52:02 Factor. Let me just lay out the hierarchy before you criticize it. And then middle class are really into the boobs, and upper class are really into the legs. Okay. And, you know, I realize. I accept what you said is law. I think it basically, I think it, except it it is flawed.
Starting point is 02:52:21 Law. Oh, law, yeah. Well, I think it basically plays out like that, like that there's a Maslow's hierarchy of needs. So it's just sort of like. Are more middle class guys into you, you're saying? Maybe. I have a nice butt, too. Oh, you do?
Starting point is 02:52:37 Yeah. I'm out. I'm out with the rich guys. The 1% are just like, get her out of here. it's an okay you were telling us what you're writing about but now we're just petering out Sarah Ferguson Duchess of York she's coming to town for a charity thing high tea what do I wear da da da da da da da da da so tea you're going to have tea so it's a high tea 12 locations right it's a game day men's self if you want high tea just mention the
Starting point is 02:53:10 dumb zone brain fog is a thing yeah testosterone The testosterone, the testosterone treatment. It was cute because the woman that's putting it together said, well, she's calling it a high tea, but we just call it lunch. And then she keeps texting me, and she's like, the ladies are asking if you should wear gloves, so I googled this for you today. Gloves.
Starting point is 02:53:31 And so then I click the link and it's like, should you wear gloves to high tea? You know, and then it's an AI thing that's like, you could. It could be fun, but take them off before the lunch. So everyone's stressing about this whole royalty thing, even though it's really weird. She hasn't been married to Andrew for, what, 30 years? But we still call her Duchess of York. By the way, she used to be called Fergie.
Starting point is 02:53:53 So when she called the paper... Black-Eypes. So when she called one of the people of the paper and said, do you want to cover high tea with Fergie? They were like, from the black-eyed peas? Yeah. And she was like, no, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, don't you know? So, anyway, that's what I'm doing.
Starting point is 02:54:10 and then I just had a big story come out about the story behind the $34.5 million mansion in Highland Park that got built. Just recently there's a mansion was built? Yeah, it came out on Saturday, yeah. Who built it? So it's got in... Who's going to live there?
Starting point is 02:54:28 Well, so it's being sold right now. It's one of the priciest new homes in Texas right now. But it just turns out, like, I clicked on the link on the Dallas Morning News to be like, oh, what asshole developed this house? and then I was really taken aback because it was this guy Blair Pogue, who was my brother's best friend from high school. And so I knew the guy, and then his father ran Lincoln Properties,
Starting point is 02:54:50 which is sort of the real estate empire that began the village and kind of helped to shape modern Dallas. And he had been the third son. So it's sort of this succession story that I told about trying to get out of a great man's shadow throughout most of your middle life and finally making a big move, but his father died last year. so it's a good story it's doing really well um are you speaking of friends in high school are you still friends with like the law and order lady stephanie march okay you write she write about her in the book
Starting point is 02:55:20 but you don't really give her name i just call her stephanie i think yeah i don't think i'm a big law and order guy did do you remember well aware of her sure do it was like in the SVU or not SVU is the other one right with you yeah she was Alex cabot on SVU okay so he used to make her like take off her glasses and be like we don't have a case so it was like her signature line it was cute too
