I mean, I've seen video of you smoking a big fat doobie. I mean,

I've read your lyrics. I know what you say in your songs. But when you hear stories like the mom and the dad on the front porch, the baby dies in a fire, then my next story, everybody, that's 2 Chainz's Twitter account. That's him smoking pot. Hey, everybody. Hey, everybody. Whether you're listening on the podcast, perhaps on the Patreon app, maybe you're watching on YouTube. We're on YouTube later.

I mean, I guess we're on YouTube now if you're watching. We're not on YouTube later. Yeah, to us, we're not on YouTube yet. But to the viewer or listener, we are. Right. We potentially could have been on like last week. Like if you're watching us now. I don't know.

Anyway, we've time traveled. Like they could be watching an episode from two weeks ago. How about this? Perhaps you're watching us on KDFI, Channel 27. Which is not More 27. It used to be called More 27. Wait, no, no. It's not My 20.

It used to be called My 27. It's now More 27. I don't think this is going to make it. Oh, it will. Because this will make people remember. Okay, good point. You're supposed to mess up your live reads, mess up your show, and then people will remember it. Like, don't show up for a SNL fantasy draft and people will remember that.

Yeah. Show up and just... Do what you're told. No one remembers that. No one remembers that. Yeah. Show up and just do what you're told. No one remembers that. No one remembers that. What if we stayed at the ticket in Dallas? They wouldn't remember us. It would still be the lame midday show. Yeah. Now people will remember, hey, remember when they used to be somewhere in Dallas? Where are they now? Which we ran into in Cleveland. Anyway, so we are in our Dallas studio today.

We actually have a guest coming up. But we also should introduce... So Jake's not here today. I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Blake Jones. And look who's to my left. We recognize this man. Danny Bayless. Danny Bayless.

Danny Bayless. Danny Bayless. Danny Bayless. Danny Bayless. Of media. Danny Bayless. How do we introduce you? Danny Bayless.

Danny Bayless. My big dog's name is Danny Bayless. Guy. Most recently known as of severance. Not the show. The three month package I got

after getting shit bagged from the freak. Three months. That's pretty sweet. It is. You got fired, huh? Along with KT and Mike Saroy and others. Aw.

Just about four months ago. From what I understand, KT still works at the Freak. That is weird. How did he maneuver that? How do you not still work there? Anyway. They really wanted to get rid of me. He must have stabbed you in the back.

He got fired and then rehired like the next day Yeah Likely So yes We are on Every night Yeah So far this week

Every weeknight right Every weeknight Yeah Sorry Monday through Friday KDFI channel 27 more 27 it's not moss 27 i don't know that a different channel that's probably different no they totally are a lot of english is it the mavs channel that is primarily a Hispanic station? Oh, I don't know.

When the Mavs go- I'm focusing on KDFI and More 27 right now. Yeah. Not on all the other spare sucky stations. We're going to focus on the best one so that perhaps they will continue to promote us and we will grow beyond our wildest dreams. In fact, you say they are promoting us now. Do you have that promo Rob? I haven't seen it yet.

Apparently we have a promo and we're ready to review it right now. Before we get into cowboys and football of the day, we should review the KDFI promo and we're playing it now. Should we do a promo for Channel 27 right now? Yeah. Hey, welcome to DZTV. Boy, this was well thought out. It's the dumb zone on TV.

That's right. Like you've never seen us before in HD? Or did they put us on the old thing? No, we're on HD. Oh, okay. See, there you go. So that's our promo. All right, all right, all right, all right, all right. Okay. Jake, we're on HD. Oh, okay. See, there you go. Yeah. So that's our promo. Alright, alright, alright,

alright, alright. Okay. Jake's not even in it. Look how great Jake looks on HD. We're wearing makeup now. Okay. Oh, that's our promo. Okay, now back to us. Yeah. Back to live or on tape. It's Thursday.

Watching that, I would have expected nothing more. That's the paper right there, man. That is endorsed by the dumb zone. That is quality stuff right there. It's a cool deal. So this is nearing the end of the first week of this thing? Yeah.

Yeah, again. About halfway through. It's a half an hour? Yes. Every night at 9, right after GMFB. Yeah, about halfway through. It's a half an hour? Yes. Every night at 9, right after GMFB. And right before last call with our buddy Steve Noviello. That's right.

Good dude. In that promo, and I believe Steve said it on his show, everyone is saying it's the dumb zone, but it's actually a smart play. I think they don't know that we're just dumb. Yeah, everybody's like, oh, these guys are so self-deprecating. The promo, if you were just listening to it, said, so smart, it's dumb. Yeah, listen for five minutes. I think they're, yeah.

You realize we're not. We just got back from Cleveland. Our nice trip to Cleveland to watch the Cowboys destroy the Browns and give me my only win of the weekend for all the game picking and everything. And while there, I picked up, I saw this in the grocery store, Cozar Coffee. Bernie Cozar, former quarterback of my childhood Cleveland Browns, he was my hero because he was gangly. He was not athletic at all.

Unorthodox. Through kind of sidearm. He didn't look like an athlete, but all of a sudden there he is leading the Browns. And I thought, that's my guy. I also don't look like an athlete. So we all identified with Bernie. And now, of course, he was released by Bill Belichick when he was the coach of the Browns and picked up the next day by his former college coach, Jimmy Johnson, who was the Cowboys

coach. And I believe, like released on a Monday, picked up on a Tuesday, started for the Cowboys coach, and I believe released on a Monday, picked up on a Tuesday, started for the Cowboys that Sunday. Did you know this? No. Because – What year? Troy Aikman. Don't know.

Go to profootballreference.com. You'll probably see when his career changed to Dallas. They usually list those things. Did you notice that's enhanced with vitamin D, your Cozar coffee there? Well, so Bernie, there's a little thing on the back of it that he signs, and there's a little picture of Bernie, the great Bernie. I saw him on the sideline before the Browns game went, because I had a media pass, Browns-Cowboys game this past Sunday.

And he handed you a bag of coffee? No, actually, I just saw this in the grocery store, and Rob said, you have to buy it. And so I didn't want to, but he was right. I had to. At the back of it, it says, Cozart Coffee, quote, going natural saved my life. That's why I am excited to introduce you to a game-changing coffee that can help you tackle

your health head-on. Jesus. Tackle. Like... I got it. Football. He put... Oh, no, we all got it.

Yeah. Introducing Cozar Coffee, a unique blend infused with vitamin D and resveratrol. Resveratrol. Is that what Trump was trying to treat COVID with? Ivermectin, I think. Okay. The powerful antioxidant found in red wine. in red wine.

This combination is designed to boost your immune system, strengthen your heart, and enhance your overall longevity. Having been on death's doorstep due to severe addiction, CTE, obesity, and seizures. Pro Bowl NFL quarterback Bernie Kosar knows something about playing offense. Quote, this coffee is more than just a morning boost. It is my first step on the path to a healthier life. Champion your health and that of your loved ones with Cozart Coffee because you matter. How does he know he has CTE? Don't you have to die to get diagnosed officially?

Are you arguing with Bernie Cozart? That is a man who could be released on a Monday and start for the Cowboys on a Sunday and win. I loved him back in the day, but that paragraph is 100% bullshit. No way, man. I'm so pro-Bernie. Okay, so you drink? I believe once he did a Browns preseason game.

Everything in my life seems five or ten years ago, so I'm going to say it was five or ten years ago. And he was sloshed, as they say. Do they say sloshed? Sure they do. He identified as being obese in that

paragraph. Sounds like he was dealing with a lot. Do you recall him being Fat Bernie? No, he looked great when I saw him this past weekend. Hence the coffee. Yeah. Just think what you could look like after a month of starting every morning with a hot fresh cup

of Cozar coffee. This is gonna go on the shelf of destiny. Or whatever we're calling the shelf. So this says that the Cowboys signed him to backup up Jason Garrett. Oh, Aikman was already hurt? Yeah, so Aikman was hurt, Jason Garrett was going to start, and Bernie was going to back up Garrett.

Uh-huh. But this says after an inefficient first nine minutes of the game against Phoenix, they benched Garrett. That's a short leash. Nine minutes? Not even a full quarter. You know, get your ass out. That's a short leash. Nine minutes? Not even a full quarter. You know, get your ass out.

That's awesome. Gosar came in, did great, did really good in the championship game. And yeah, I think we said this last week, but he knelt down to close out the victory in the Super Bowl that year. That's right. He invented kneeling. What a guy.

And then Colin Kaepernick would take that to the next level. And look where it got him. You're not drinking Kaepernick coffee, are you, Dan? He's not going to live that long, like Bernie. Bernie will be 150 years old just drinking that coffee. I'd like to start today with some viewer mail extra. Today is Thursday, 9-12. Here's the reason. Yesterday was 9-11. Because the reason yesterday was 9-11.

Did you forget? Did not. You forgot to do a show. Took the whole day off to commemorate the historic day, didn't you? Next year, we have to do a show from the 9-11 memorial in Grapevine. In fact, the guy who owns that restaurant emailed me quite some time ago and we just never got it together. Yeah, that's our bad. We wanted to wait for a round number.

Next year will be 2025. And then it'll be a 24-year anniversary and that's a lot cooler. Kobe. And then it'll be a 24-year anniversary, and that's a lot cooler. Kobe. Kobe. So what these are, do you know we have a fascination with 9-11 memorials? I'm learning.

Okay. So in the past, like, it all started because Jake lives near the 9-11 memorial in Grapevine, which is in front of a Tex-Mex restaurant. It doesn't make sense. Yeah, I've seen. He showed me photos of it. It's a strip mall. Yeah.

In fact, we have a photo of it in here somewhere. Yeah, above you. Yeah. Yeah, do you see it? Uh-huh. In fact, at some point, we're going to be moving all these over to our beautiful wall. Take a look at our beautiful wall. ProSlat is who brought us our beautiful wall. We have a downtown Dallas studio,

and this wall used to be a field. There used to be nothing there, and now look at it. It's a beautiful wall. ProSlat. So ProSlat, they are people who can help you make your dream garage. They put this stuff all up in your garage. And then apparently these thingies, what do you call the thingy that you stick right in it? Hooks. Hooks. The hook, well, it doesn't look like a pirate, the end of his arm. It's just straight. Anyway.

It took a little longer than five minutes to realize why the show is named as it is. But yeah, they can help you turn your messy piles of stuff into an organized oasis and that's what we're trying to do in fact can you see uh i said in fact like seven times today don't let me say that anymore give me the shock collar do you see over here this is the uh piles of stuff piles of crap piles of junk we're going to this will be an organized oasis when we're all done, and your garage is probably the exact same. So, search ProSlat. I don't have their website in front of me or anything. Let's take a guess.

P-R-O-S-L-A-T. So, Google. ProSlat is on the way into town. They're going to have a brick-and-mortar place, and they have a grand opening like September 28th. It's a Saturday, a couple weeks from now, and we're going to be out there doing a show. So, thank you, ProSlat. You can actually go to ProSlat.com, Dan. Well, there you go. No way.

I know, it's crazy. You got a website? Who are the ad wizards that came up with that domain name? I mean, I just went to our... So our sales people will put like copy in here and it just doesn't have the website on it. Look what Danny has brought

to the table. There's a reason why you brought me in. It's amazing. This is unbelievable. He was able to search on his phone. You know what's cool about... Thanks, ProSlate. Real quick, one more thing about ProSlat. So they specialize in getting your garage all organized. Yeah.

And it makes sense because they do have the slats where you put the hooks in and you can get your chainsaw and your hammer. They're really high-quality, heavy-duty. But dude, wouldn't you want this in your living room? Yeah. Can you imagine how your

flat screen just mounted on that and some artwork and stuff like that? That just looks so much better than just a blank wall. I want it on the inside of my car. I wonder if they would do that. They might. Could hang your apple up. Yeah. Eat that apple whenever I wanted.

Pro slat. It's not just for garages. If you have a garage or a new studio that you want to do your show from. Or a Shannon Sharp fuck room. We're going to get to that later. Get pro slat. That's a tease. Thinking ahead, guys.

But some 9-11 follow-up. Hello, Uncle Muff Maestro. My local Gold's Gym has group fitness classes, which are a fun way to be social and get in shape or whatever. However, they do this 9-11 workout every September 11th. Here's a picture. It is a 2001 meter row and nine exercises for 11 reps each. What a fitting tribute to all those who lost their lives.

Musan from Nick. Says at the very bottom, jump out of a 90-story building. Jesus. Huh. And then the workout's over. Then no more pain. Taking a flight on 9-11, Cynthia writes, Taking a flight on 9-11, I won't lie, it was a little weird.

Attached is the memorial that greeted us at the San Diego airport. Diego Airport. Also, there is a memorial stair climb at our Marriott Hotel on the harbor today at 4.30 local time. Never forget Cynthia the Fort Worth Girl. And finally, Armin, Chris writes, thought you boys would

appreciate the creativity being displayed all around the Metroplex. Celina hay bales painted so that we never forget. And they are red, white, and blue. It says USA, 9-11, never forget on the hay bale. He said he's seen these in multiple locations. That's Chris Menage. Gay. bale he said he's seen these in multiple locations that's chris menage gay gay oh and he says uh of course i forgot that so he sent another email like an hour later i forgot to ask for a birthday shout out for my daughter andy ray she's six today i might have forgotten her birthday but

i'll never forget 9-11 thanks to the hay bales. Who is forgetting? Like, who are they reminding? I don't know, people with Alzheimer's? Like, we still haven't forgotten the Alamo. Like, we're not going to forget 9-11 for a long time. Do we have any olds that could tell us that... Oh, do you want to grab our guest?

Who's getting the guest? Yeah, you want to grab the guest? Who's getting the guest? Yeah, you want to grab the guest? We actually have a guest. And I forgot he was there because he's supposed to be here at like 1230. The guest is KT. KT Kevin Turner. Who got fired the same day that I did. He did, but he's working there again.

Did he get escorted out? Anyway, he's the guy that... We'll find out in a minute. I put him in timeout in the green room because he didn't show up to our show. Was it last week or two weeks ago? Yeah. Remember like he thought that was penalizing us? He really stuck it to us.

Oh, man. That's going to really hurt their ratings. I want to get to the bottom of this because I know that you guys have a little bit of a- Do we have ratings? A little bit of conflict between the two of you. Well, he's coming in. We're going to talk a little football. It's a him.

This is Kevin KT Turner walking in the studio right now. Kind of like... Is that walking or... Lumbering into the studio here? And he sent us, he told me not to listen to it, so I didn't. He sent us his own introduction. Okay. Everyone's always asking, hey, why did they call him KT?

Well, it's because his name is Kevin Turner. That's right. his name is Kevin Turner. That's right. His first name starts with a K and his last name starts with a T. Kevin looks like every Red Sox fan. Wait, you said you were sending a funny open. Did you send a different email?

No. Kevin. No. Kevin. funny open. Did you send a different email? Nope. Kevin. No. I thought you guys would like that after you were dumping all over censoring myself now because of the TV thing. Congrats, guys. You're not going to make TV.

That's fair. Blake does all the editing. He does this every night. So mean. All the time. Yeah, he does this every night. God, so mean. All the time. Y'all censored yourself the other day. Oh, shit. I'm sorry about the thing that I said earlier about Shannon Sharp's room.

I forgot. TV. Yeah. Yeah, you're not going to make the TV if you say the F word. Fuck. You guys were making fun of the broadcasters who were like, you know. The A team, they like to go short form. BJ, you know what I'm talking about.

Totes. Old KB and EA and TR and TV. So Kevin Turner is here. He has a podcast as well. Do I? Are you still on the radio? Let's promote that. Oh, yeah.

Okay. I should promote the radio thing so I don't get in trouble. I'm not really concerned about that. What about the podcast? The podcast is the One Star Cowboys podcast. Okay, because it used to be About Them Cowboys? Yeah. Big fan.

I love that show. Oh, thank you. Yeah. yeah no i would listen to it every monday oh thank you well it's the same show it's just a new name yeah now it's like on the wire when they change the name of the heroines from like red tops to blue tops it's the same shit oh was it really yeah just different marketing so to get maybe a broader audience okay well i think theirs is because the athletic doesn't want to do podcasts anymore yeah the athletic uh i don't really know because i they don't pay me anymore um but they were like you know we're like hey you can still do it but we

have the rights to the name but if you guys want to go do it on your own go ahead so the one star cowboys podcast and we do like three or four episodes a week. And it's a lot of fun. John Machoda, Kent Garrison, Sod. You guys know what's up. It's fun. That's a freaking silver and blue brain trust, man. Those guys know way more about stuff than I do. Why are you on it?

Because I think it's for the humor. Again? He couldn't even get through it. Again, I asked. Yeah, they say he's the host but then they have like another guy who's kind of the host so i never really understand i like the podcast i like their content but just like like so many things that kt does it's just a little confusing it's just i just can't follow it like like kent kent is would introduce everything and then he introduces everyone, and then he goes, well, here's your host, Kevin, KT Turner. And I'm like, okay, but you just did all that.

You just did all the hosting. And then. Or maybe he Ed McMahon'd. Yeah, I don't know. He did the introduction, and now they bring on the host. Yeah, it's confusing. It's confusing. Clearly.

Yeah. Oh, I mean, look. Takes it from there. I don't know. We don't need to worry about roles and labels, you know? I was trying to tell Danny that we have a, you invited me to be in your fantasy, SNL Fantasy League, and that I didn't show up because I did something actually really funny. And then you, to pay us back, didn't show up to our show the next day because that would really hurt us and then uh today so that's why we put you in a uh

a pre-guest time out in the green room how did you like the green room i love the green room but i can't tell you how many times it crossed my mind it It's like, are they going to leave me here for an hour? Well, I forgot. We forgot you were there to tell you the truth. Because I've got to go to my day job after this. I'm going to be speeding up the tollway just enraged because I got double pranked again. But the thing about

this... Why didn't we think of that? Just leave him in there for an hour. How great would that be and bring him in for five minutes? God damn. See, see you are you got good bits well this is the thing because i did i i was driving home from work we're doing the draft that night and we'll i guess talk about that in a minute i guess but like i was listening to your show supporting your show and driving and then we're just kind of throwing it out there a little bit that i may skip the draft tonight and even the guys on your own show thought it was a dick move and not funny

and then when you log on i didn't think for a single second that you would actually do it and then you didn't show up well i didn't mean to but spinks called me like a half hour before the draft he's like man I'm stoked on SNL. I'd love to do this. And I'm like, really? Let's go. And, of course, I did watch the whole thing. I sat there.

I was texting with him the whole way. Yeah, you were available. Yeah, I was available. I could have been on. The roles could have been reversed. We could have just had the. Like, you could have been on, and he could have been watching at home and texting you. Have a seat there.

Here, let's bring in. We've got to sit in today. He's a little late. Let's bring in, we've got a sit-in today. He's a little late. We didn't make him sit in the green room, though. He is Robert. Robert Agnick. Oh, you just want Robert? Dump that? You want him to dump your last name?

Okay. Can you beep that out, Blake? Sure. Yet here you are. What do we got there? No, I mean your jersey. Oh, we got a Wang. A Wang Zhuzhu. More than one of us.

Wang Zhuzhu. Yeah, there's more than one jersey. We have both bought that. Well, thanks for coming. We made KT sit in the green room for like 15 minutes. Well, thank you. I'm sorry to be late. Yeah, no, it's all good.

He's probably important and stuff. Yeah, he's a business guy. Look, he's got business clothes under that Wang jersey. Wang shirt on. That's for sure. I'm sorry, KT. Go on with whatever you were saying. I forgot. Yeah. I don't remember. Oh, so.

Dan was watching the SNL fantasy draft on his computer and adding comments and stuff. But he could have been there. He could have been there. But, you know, whatever. And I faked like I was mad. But then you asked me to come on and talk about it. He was so mad. I know.

Steaming. He was so mad. Fuming. How many times have you seen me mad in my life, Danny? At 97.1, a bunch. Well, I was there. Maybe things are different now. I did punch a hole in the wall one time.

Uh-huh. But I did not- Didn't have enough Metallica tickets or something? I thought that I would ghost you, i was i was gonna show up and do the hit but i got bumped for i think vj boyd which is worthy so once i got bumped i was like i actually do have to go to my job so i'll just parlay it into a double apologies to matt damon yeah yeah no one wanted me on the show anyways It's fine We love you This Kevin Turner story

Is brought to us by Lone Star Beer Today How about Lone Star Beer Let me give you some copy points The National Beer of Texas Of course everyone knows it The National Beer of Texas That's true

I just think of Russ Cole and True Detective Just pounding those big lone stars Celebrating 140 years of brewing in Texas Brewing What other Texas brewery can make that claim? Right? None If I'm looking at their copy points

They want us to mention they're authentically Texan, so we're getting that. We're getting that they're Texan. But one of them says, I mean, obviously, crisp flavor, great beer. We love to drink it, but it says awesome merch. I'm like, is that a copy point? And apparently it is. Well, I think they proved it.

So they brought us. Apparently it is. Well, I think they proved it. So they brought us. So today, Robert and KT, we have got you some Lone Star beer, the National Beer of Texas t-shirts and hats. In fact, I'm going to throw one of these guys on right now. You think I won't?

No, you won't. No, I know you will. No, you won't. And they've also helped the studio out. They're helping to outfit the studio. God, you look cool bald, man. Yeah? Yeah. I'm going to shape this into my head.

Like, I've never been afraid of Dan. Well, why would you be? But he looks kind of like he'd mess you up. A little Walter White energy? A little bit. It's a great skill that those of us who are going to have to deal with that fear and envy. Yeah, I'll just keep getting laid when I'm 70. We're very excited.

One or two more kids while you're at it? Why not? One of our newest sponsors, Lone Star Beer. We're collaborating. Collab. We have a paid partnership with Lone Star Beer, and in fact... Big reveal? We have a big Lone Star Beer sign.

And you have a drum roll, Rob? Rob does not have a drum roll. Let's see. Yeah, go ahead. Let's take a look at the Lone Star Beer sign. There you go. All right. Yes, sir. So thanks to Lone Star Beer for supporting your friends here.

Their sign has a lot of lumens. Love neon lights. Hashtag advertisement. And that's not fake neon. That's real neon gas. Right? It's not like that

mom game thing we had in here yesterday. That's real. So KT invited me to one more. I told you guys I'm onT invited me to one more. I told you guys I'm on, uh, let me count them here. I'm in nine different, uh,

either fantasy leagues or knockout leagues or whatever. And, um, Blake knockout league. I'm in, anyway, I'm in five different, four different knockout leagues. I don't remember why we were talking this weekend, but then you were like,

hey, you want in one more? I got this cool knockout league. And it's a, well, what is it? Kicker? It's like a kicker knockout league. So you just have to draft a kicker every week. It's like a kicker knockout league. So you just have to draft a kicker every week.

And if your kicker misses a field goal, you're out. Kind of. It's weird. You're then in probation, and if he misses another, you can't pick the same kicker. Does this seem like something KT would be involved in? Yeah. It's incredibly confusing. I don't follow any of what's happening. That's what I'm saying. This is a KT thing.

This is not my thing, though. The SNL thing, full ownership over that. And you guys exaggerate how weird the rules are. The rules are very simple. And Danny's the defending champion in that anyways, and he wasn't asked to come back for the next season. I didn't think he would want to. I would have done it in a heartbeat.

Why didn't you do it? Why didn't you come back? He just said he didn't ask. There's a part of me that's a little scared of Danny. Oh, my God. Same. Okay, so this is not my thing, but I think Skin was in it, and then Skin was like, this sounds like something you would like,

and I absolutely do. But they have weird rules. We're supposed to be a survivor league. A guy misses the kick. If your kicker screws up, then you're out. But they have a thing where you get a mulligan, and then there's another level to it that I don't even fully understand yet. But I was sweating on Sunday because I had Chris Boswell of the Steelers

who made five field goals. No, he had six field goals. And a 56-yarder and a 57 yarder. And I'm just cussing Justin Fields to like get a, get a little bit closer and then they're settling for field goals. It makes you real nervous. Like Justin Tucker missed on opening night, the extra point. He saw like four or five names get eliminated, but not eliminated.

That's where it's confusing. It's fun though. Yeah. I had Brandon Aubrey and they were about to trot him out for a 71 yarder i've been thinking he's almost the most trustworthy guy and also the least trustworthy guy at the same time because they will let him kick from 74 on sunday if they have the chance like they'll let him shoot that shot in the dome on sunday i do believe he will set the record for longest field goal at some point just because of that at some point this year or just in his career

i mean we could guess this year it's all gotta just be bay i just think he needs the chance i just think if he had a chance to kick a 67 yarder he will he will make it. Yeah, he made 66 with ease. Yeah, they would never give anyone else a chance usually, and that's the tough thing about this. Did they ever show a perpendicular shot of the goal post on the 66-yarder to see how much clearance he had? Because I don't think they did. That's a great point.

Yeah. It looked like maybe there was four or five yards. It hit the bottom of the net, it seemed like. Did it? So he had a few yards. Okay. He was in studio here. Why didn't they let him do that?

Why didn't they let him at least try? I'm sure he has talked about this already earlier in the week. Let him try the 71? Yes. Especially because it's not like he missed the 66 and it fell short. Even if he has the same amount of leg and it doesn't get over, it's just going to land harmlessly right short of the goal post and probably dribble out of bounds or the idiot coach could have called a timeout i think i later heard it's true that somebody on the

sideline was just kind of in bones's ear saying how windy it is down down there the punter it was anger was Was it anger? Anger's the one who called it off. And they were having trouble with the kicking ball or something, communicating getting the kicking ball on the field at the time, too. But it still stands. You have two timeouts left. So if you really want to kick it from 66 and just try to make it again,

call the timeout. I don't understand how the coach doesn't know how many timeouts we have. They have a special ball just for kicking I didn't know that either What's different about it I have no idea It's harder It's not deflated

Would you want it overly inflated Yeah right Wouldn't it go further Maybe not But what if you have a fake, and now you've got this big giant medicine ball that you're trying to throw? Not like a balloon. Okay.

It'd be great for next time you guys have Brandon Aubrey on. That's right. Well, which should be soon. Isn't anger the holder, though? Anger is the holder, yeah. How did he call it off on the sideline? It's a weird chain of command where the head coach doesn't make all the rules here. I'm sure that's a great theory.

He hates him. What's your animosity towards McCarthy? Because he's a Green Bay fan. Yeah, a Packers fan. He won you a Super Bowl. Right. Did he? He brought it there.

Ah. Possibly the greatest coach in Packers history. Could be. Some are saying. Well, many are saying. You guys have fun with Mike McCarthy. Or Forrest Gregg. 36 wins in three years.

Oh, that's great, right? People are real happy with that. Very satisfied. Now I'm defending Jake's argument, and I don't like it. Why do you take a timeout? You're the coach. Just take the timeout. You're the guy.

It's very strange. And then he just brags about calling a great're the guy. It's very strange. And then he just brags about calling a great game and hanging out with Aaron Andrews. I didn't like Blake's line that she might have made that line up. She made that whole report up. They're not saying that much stuff to Aaron Andrews in the tunnel. She's taking poetic license with every one of those reports, I'm convinced. Yeah, and you're not joking around

or making this a long deal of a coach heading into half. It is a quick, maybe two questions. Right. And she was a part of the podcast that said they would make up halftime reports from time to time. Oh, yeah. I'm looking forward to this weekend's game, though, just because I want the full Brady experience

we just had a little bit last week I think the whole Brady thing is fascinating I do too, I'm so glad you brought it up I'm so glad you brought it up I thought if Brady because of what everybody thinks of him he's so vanilla and Boy Scout-ish that if he could have done the exact same broadcast, but if he had said something like,

oh my, Deshaun Watson's got one more interception than I've got divorces, and becomes human, makes a little fun of himself, he's the greatest color man of all time. And people are loving Brady on Twitter. Can you believe what Tom Brady said? Just something like that, that makes him freaking relatable, but he was so bland. And so by the book and I get it, it's his first game and that's not an easy job, but I hope he evolves into being a personality and not just a guy that's super-ass famous. Because that's all he is. I mean, he kicked out Greg the Leg because he's more famous than Greg.

For sure. Greg Olson. That's the only reason he's on the A-team is because he's Tom Brady. But he's probably the worst guy on their roster as far as doing that job. I mean, the roast was supposed to do what you just said. Like humanize him. Yeah, but that's other people taking the piss.

That's not him doing it. That's him just kind of sitting there and taking it. And he was pretty stiff in that too. I've liked him on the Peyton thing. The Peyton and Eli Monday Night Football bit like when he does have a chance to just talk he's got to get to a place where he can let that image guard down and just be a regular dude and I also didn't really see or hear much

great insider football stuff now look Tony was great in his first season, but I think we've learned that Tony feels like people start saying nice shit about him, and then he just licks stamps and doesn't care anymore. But Tom, I didn't find anything that he said to be particularly astute about the game of football or what was going on in the game. He was just a guy saying words. It doesn't help that you're getting that commercial every break of him working so hard but the other thing is like that game got so out of hand and i don't know if you can teach a guy

to have personality like i'm not sure that tom brady is good for blowout games like that when there is a lot of downtime and you actually do need a little bit of banter a close game he might have came through and got juiced and things like that he was probably just as bored as the rest of us in the second half he's got to do something that surprises people and there's nothing surprising about about what he's doing right now he was great on snl like over 10 years ago he's wearing the jock strap and he goes and he honks the boob and he doesn't get the sexual harassment hr uh called but fred armisen gets close to the cubicle that's harassment he's arrested yeah but he was good on that and getting drunk at the bar and making out with kate mckinnon we need more of that that's how i learned to actually like eli i think eli was good on saturday night live he was

and it's like okay pretty much any time they get an athlete on SNL, I don't know what they do. It's like getting interviewed by Gordon Keith. You just end up becoming a completely, entirely different version of yourself. Yeah, again, you've got a lot of other people revolving around him, helping him. He's not really the guy. people revolving around him, helping him. He's not really the guy. And who in that position,

the people that are trying to help him improve at his job, are going to say anything remotely as honest as the things that we're saying in this room right now? That's the problem. Because it's Tom Brady. Oh. They are paying him a lot of money. Right. And he's famous.

And people are going to watch no matter what. You're going to turn a game off because the color analysis is not very good? No, and that's why it's probably silly. They pay these guys $15 million. Or what's he making? $20, $30 a year? Like something crazy. Yeah, what was it?

$10 for $3.25 or something like that? Yeah. You know, even the Romo set ito set it all up with, you know, the 18 million a year or whatever. Yeah, but Romo had his bit in his first game. Remember, he was calling every play. He has to give me a run left. And at least that solidified him in some way early on.

No, Romo's early success was it has led to some problems because you would never have hired Jason Witten to just be on the A-team right away in the past. You would have said, oh, he needs a year or two here. But they were like, oh, okay, look, you can just step right off the field and into the number one role and you'll be great. into the number one role and you'll be great. And because I, you know, the famous, I think it was like a Les Moonves or somebody conversation with Romo at a dinner party, like, oh, this guy is really engaging. I think he should be the number one, you know, he should, he should get that job. And then they, they just gave it to him.

Well, and oh, look, Jason Witten. He was fun to talk to for a day. Jerry had some influence. I think Jerry did have influence in Romo getting it. For sure. Because they didn't want Romo to go to another team. Yeah, go to be the Texans quarterback. Yeah. So, hey, I'll get you the number one job, gym dance.

So Jerry's to blame. Which was a pretty big move because they bumped Phil Sims, who apparently they kind of liked, and I never did. Aikman's been doing it so long that I don't even remember his first year. Was he widely criticized after his rookie year in the booth? So his first year, he was—oh, I'm sorry. He started in the minors. He was not the A-team.

Right, right. But, I mean, just as far as his presentation performance— Well, he started in a three-man booth with John Madden and Chris Collinsworth. Troy did. Yeah. Okay. So his first year. I think it was Madden.

My point is, I don't— Maybe it wasn't Madden. I know Collinsworth. Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth. I just don't recall— —a lot of criticism of Troy, but he evolved into— Right, and then when he was elevated to the number one team, he was kind of good at it already. Yeah, he was—

Where Brady had never done it, or he's probably done four games that we've never seen. Yeah. But I think the thing that you notice about Troy doing it, and like I said, having been doing it for so long, once you kind of got to know him, you were kind of surprised. You were surprised because he was so quiet and soft-spoken and didn't really speak that much. Or he was very kind of gray with his personality with the media when he was a player. I thought he would suck as an announcer. I thought he was great, and people were surprised.

So it's maybe the bar was so low for what your expectations were of Troy. So if he had any personality at all, you were like, oh, my gosh, this is cool. Who knew Troy could be a human being? He was so robotic during his career with the media by design. But yeah, I mean, and now he's just the, I mean, he's the example of what a color guy should be in the league. But you put him next to Kevin Burkhardt, and I bet you he would turn to crap.

You think? Hell yeah. Why? KB sucks, man. He does. does he's terrible why does he suck what he doesn't bring the best out in his partner he creates a weird atmosphere in the booth that i don't think brady quite vibes with yet let's go down to ea also let's curb your enthusiasm reference going to break i'm so cool and funny. I'm Kevin. Really? I don't notice that about him.

He just doesn't have, though, the gravitas or what do you call it? Just the name. Sure. Like, Troy Aikman was with Joe Buck, and Joe Buck was already well-known as a really good announcer, and this is a, you know, Tony Romo got with Jim Nance, and even though I don't like Nance, he's Jim Nance, legendary announcer. Tom Brady's with this guy.

He's probably never heard of him. And now he's kind of in charge of Tom Brady. So if Jim Nance is steering you along, you're like, okay, I'm going to listen to you a little bit. You're Jim Nance. Joe Buck, you're pretty good at this. Everybody knows it. I don't even know who you are.

Maybe I've seen you in one of those production meetings, but I didn't remember your name. You know how bland and nondescript Tom Brady was to me? Because I watched the game delayed a little bit. I had some stuff to do prior to kickoff or through kickoff, so I started it maybe near the end of the first quarter. So I fast-forwarded through all the pregame and started right on kickoff. It took me until the first quarter was about half over to realize that it was Tom Brady.

I didn't even know. I thought, oh, this is just Greg Olson. In my head, because I don't really pay that much attention. So nothing at all for a half of a quarter jumped out at me and said, dude, Tom Brady's calling this game. All you. Boring. Yeah, and if you really weren't paying attention,

all you missed is that it's hard to get 10 yards, but it's even harder to get 20, guys, if you guys didn't know. Don't move backwards. It just hit me. You just said that Romo had his bit. Tom Brady's bit needs to be, he just needs to be a dick. Like, just go in, you're Tom Brady, people kind of don't like you that much anyways, and to be a dick like just go in you're tom brady people kind of don't like you that much anyways and just be a dick i don't know if you'll caught i watched a little bit of the

manning cast of the night and peyton manning just ripped brandon iuk for dropping a touchdown pass and i was like tom brady if he did that that would score well with people he's not gonna say anything to piss off the players in the league he's not gonna be overly critical he's not funny he's not going to say anything to piss off the players in the league he's not going to be overly critical he's not funny he's not but he's not allowed to even go to the like production meetings and like go to the facilities right because he's a part owner of the raiders so like who cares you're tom brady burn some bridges dude was that their final decision on that because i remember them talking about it i didn't know if they i that Fox was like, it's not a big deal. We're not worried about it.

It's Tom Brady. But I'm not sure if they've been negotiating on what to do with that. Yeah, maybe they'll say, oh, that's the problem. If he only had that production meeting. If he had production meetings. He would have known not to be totally silent after plays happen. You're there to say stuff about the play. You're the color commentator.

How conversational was all of that? It was great. You did well. I might need that number.

I have so many lineups in the Texas State game tonight and 20 lineups in the golf tournament that's happening this week. You know, Kevin's got a bit of a gambling issue. Oh, yeah? Uh-huh. The issue is there's not enough time to gamble more. That's exactly right. And it causes problems at home.

Well. Yeah, it does. We all got stuff going on at home we don't want to talk about. Yeah. Did you have some cowboys today, today, before we get into Tyreek? I do. This came up on the show because, KT, I don't know, you're like film guy, aren't you?

There was a time. Well, even me, I noticed that DeMarvian Overshawn is a dude. Really good. And we had talked about he wanted the number zero coming out of college because he wore zero at Texas. He wore 35 last year, but then got hurt. He's now wearing number 13. And this looks like it was at training camp, but Bill Jones sat down with DeMarvian Overshone and said, you know, Hey, why you're zero at Texas?

I think you want to be number zero. Why aren't you number zero? And I thought his answer was hilarious because it's so Dallas Cowboys so here's DeMarvian Overshawn with Bill Jones you know zero was definitely it was definitely panned out like that's what I thought that's what I was looking forward to in the future and I just thought it was going it was meant to be because at first when I was already coming to the league I was like well zero is not even an available number so I'm'm going to have to find something else anyways. And as soon as they made the rule that NFL players can wear zero, I like the first Dallas Cowboys to wear zero.

Like, it's just meant to be. Coming from Texas wearing number zero, you know, it's just meant to be. Okay. It's a big deal to him. So he wanted number zero. Loves the number zero. Was called Agent Zero at Texas. That's his college number. That's his thing. Yeah, we talked about this the other day. Why doesn't he texas that's his college number that's his

that's his thing yeah we talked about this the other day why doesn't he wear zero then we'll get to that but so a year or two ago the nfl says okay yeah you can wear number zero jaron curse tried he didn't get it and he said yeah maybe they'll give it to overshown okay but he's about to tell you why he can't wear the number zero for the Dallas Cowboys. And sadly, you know, it didn't happen like that. You know, that's Rowdy number. He was told I can't do it because it's Rowdy's number? Rowdy wears zero. Nuh-uh.

Back that up. Sadly, you know, it didn't happen like that. That's Rowdy number, and I guess me and Rowdy are going to have to duke it out. But Rowdy my guy. Now he's got to go on to defend Rowdy. I'm just playing, but Rowdy wears double zero, and I don't think the Cowboys will win. So he actually asked, and they said no. Yeah. Because it's Rowdy wears double zero, and I don't think the Cowboys— So he actually asked, and they said no.

Yeah. Because it's Rowdy's number. So he goes on. I mean, this is serious. This is what the Cowboys told him. You know, I guess me and Rowdy are going to have to duke it out, but Rowdy my guy. And so I think Mr. Jones is going to hold on to that number for a while.

Hopefully, you know, 13 looks so good on the field, he'll be like, you know what, you can't have zero. So your goal, though, is to be number zero whenever Rowdy decides that you've played well enough to earn number zero, right? I'm not saying it's – well, I am saying it. You know, Rowdy, if you ever just want to sit down and we can have a conversation, I tell you how much zero means to me. He doesn't talk.

Maybe we can have a little quick jersey change just for a game just to see how it looks on me. If it don't look good, if it look better on Rowdy, I give it back to him. But I promise you, Rowdy, I would make that zero shine just like you do. Oh, my God. I mean, obviously, he's joking about Rowdy, but it's Jerry. Jerry doesn't want him wearing the number. I don't think Jerry likes the number zero for a player on the field.

He might not, but how insane is it that we are listening to this conversation? What if Overshawn, you know, keeps this up and he's a Pro Bowl player? Do you think he'll? It's a big deal to him. Just let him have his number. Your dumb little mascot wears double zero. Who cares? Like, if Micah wanted zero, he'd get zero, wouldn't he?

I don't know. Has the Cowboy ever had the number zero? No. No, because nobody. It just became available. Okay, I didn't know that with the nfl world team i think that uh i think jerry's so old school because i had coaches back in the 80s that i remember a player wanting double zero is like that's not a number you're not getting

that no we're not giving you double zero yeah like they just didn't they didn't even consider that being an option and i I bet Jerry's like that. Now, double zero is not available though, right? Double zero or zero. Just zero is available. But if Rowdy's double zero, why couldn't he just be zero? I bet Jerry's using this as a negotiating tactic in three years for a contract. Take a little less money, we'll give you zero.

Yeah, that's a good point. But in listening to him talk, it's a big deal to him. And the excuse that Jerry gave him why he can't have his number is because our mascot wears it. It's so stupid. They're the dumbest organization.

They are. I feel bad for him. I want him to have his number. So elsewhere, right when we left Cleveland, this story breaks. So Deshaun Watson, terrible game against the Browns. It was so funny just walking into that game. It was so exciting. Everybody's so optimistic for the new year, and things are different,

and Stefanski's got all his stuff in place and Deshaun Watson, I mean, after a couple of rough years, but, you know, looked good last year and didn't look good last year, but some good numbers, you know. Five and one. Yeah, there were five and one with him as starting quarterback and then he got hurt. This is, it's going to happen now. All the stuff we went through, had to acquire him and have him suspended for a year and all that, now it's happening. And then they go out there and they're just not even in the game ever. And just, he was sailing balls. He was terrible.

He doesn't look anything like a starting quarterback in the NFL. So then all of a sudden the story comes out that he's now being sued again by another lady accusing him of sexual assault and battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Allegedly happened at a date at the woman's apartment in October, 2020 COVID COVID year. allegedly happened at a date at the woman's apartment in October 2020. COVID. COVID year.

I guess this is right around the time that he was having all the other ladies file lawsuits against him. And according to this particular lawsuit, I wonder if we should even look at who's bringing this lawsuit. Oh, can I guess? Yeah. Tony Busby? It's our old guy, Tony Busby. The guy who has a tank?

And back then, so what was the original lawsuits? All the lawsuits were brought up by Tony Busby and his clients, but was it back then? Was he just playing poorly? was then demanding a trade some things were going awry after the contract things he had some good years signed a huge contract then things are kind of wheels off with the texans they traded uh the the wide receiver to arizona i'm trying to remember hopkins yeah but this was over ownership wasn't it i don't even remember but as i recall, I think he wanted a trade. He wanted out. Yeah. And then all of a sudden, these things start dropping.

And it was thought, did the Texans leak this stuff? Did the Texans send this to Tony Busby? Because they wanted to get out of him, the Deshaun Watson business, and just get out of that contract and everything. And it feels like that now. Like we just had this terrible game. So I don't know that the Browns are leaking this, but I do know or I do have a feeling on one thing. But as far as this is concerned,

so this is apparently, he met her in July 2020. They exchanged texts for a while. He asked to meet her in October. She invited him to her apartment for dinner. The lawsuit alleges after calling the woman's cell phone and aggressively yelling and screaming and stating that he could not find her apartment, Deshaun Watson arrived, and while waiting for her to finish getting ready, so she's like, oh.

Should we do a promo for Channel 27 right now? No, not right now. I mean, you guys want to stop and knock out this promo real quick? Nope. Okay. So, you know, he goes in her apartment. She's like, oh, I got to kind of finish getting ready.

So she goes into the bathroom. Apparently, when she comes out of the bathroom, now she's ready, got her makeup on. He is lying completely naked on her bed. Why? What? lying completely naked on her bed. Why? What?

This playbook. Can he not read a room? He then insisted that she massage his buttocks. Can you imagine? Do you think this date is going well? Can you imagine if any one of us approached a first date that way, what the result would be. How much money do we have? Not enough.

I'm all bloated and pale. Hey, can you massage my butt? Massage my buttocks. Would the ladies start laughing if it was me? Anyway. Would the lady start laughing if it was me? Anyway, said massage the buttocks despite the woman repeating that she wasn't a masseuse. She says she was afraid.

That's a good rebuttal. I'd love to, but I'm not trained. So here's her move. She said she was afraid and attempted to massage his back instead. So she was like, look, won't do that. Little odd that you are laying naked on my bed, but what if we just do a back massage? Well, he does the old trick-a-roo.

He turns over when she leans down to massage the back. Classic move. Then grabbed her and sexually assaulted her for several minutes. She escaped and grabbed a piece of furniture for self-defense. And then Watson left. Very muddy, the whole story. Feels just odd from many, many angles, of course, because he's got to get dressed, right?

He didn't just run out. What piece of furniture would you grab for self-defense if indeed you could grab a piece of furniture? Clearly you think of some kind of a small statue. A statue or a 1972 ashtray. Yeah. The one that my uncle had that weighed like 13 pounds and had no less than 600 butts still in it. The spittoon.

You don't want to grab a pouch. A lamp. That would be too big. It would be a nice heavy lamp. Maybe, but now you're carrying a lamp and then do you wrap up the cord? That causes all kinds of trouble. I think it's the ashtray, Dan. How about the portable vacuum, the little guy?

The dust buster? Yeah, you can kind of whack someone with that thing. And then clean up the mess when you're done? Maybe. Anyway. So now this comes out just yesterday or just Monday and then what happens

Tuesday like the timing is really weird for something that happened four years ago yeah that should have come out when everything else was coming out yeah just holding on to that one what's the okay so if it is according to the lawsuit the woman was discouraged from coming forward with her story

after seeing how previous women who had made allegations were treated by Watson's defense team and the public. And then she's, but she's a Browns fan

and watched his performance on Sunday and said, all right, we got to get this guy out of here. We can't have this dead money for the next three years.

The lawsuit says as a result of this incident, alleged incident, the woman suffers from severe mental anguish, panic attacks, depression, and anxiety is seeking damages of over a million dollars. Which he could afford. He got $230 million guaranteed. Did you guys see Dak's contract?

$231. Oh. Isn't that funny? How'd they come up with that number? I don't know. They just put them next to each other and went up $11. Oh. Isn't that funny? How'd they come up with that number? I don't know. They just put them next to each other and went up one million. Oh. Oh.

I guess that's how. I guess that is logical. So, the day after that, USA Today, I think, is the one that first got it, but they got a hold of his contract. And now this has been leaked by the Browns, if you ask me. They're trying to get out of this. Of course. Because there is stuff in there

apparently the one way you could void this contract, I think if you pulled an OJ, so there's a couple ways. If you pull an OJ, like do something really, really bad. But also, if you did something before signing with the Browns. What do you mean pull an OJ?

Like star in Naked Gun 3? No, like if you cut the head off of your ex-wife and her boyfriend. Okay, I get it now. Yes, a brutal double murder. You can void the contract. Or... But nothing about Naked Gun. If there's nothing about Naked Gun in the whole contract,

I've gone over it. If you had something you did and didn't tell it, like, he was supposed to, hey, we're going to sign this with you, but everything you did. So is it just these 20 women? That's it? You sure? Like maybe he did tell them about this.

Maybe he said, actually, there was a few more. And so if they do come out, you'll know about it. Like you're supposed to disclose everything to the Browns before we sign this contract. And I guess that is in the fine print of the contract. And that is what has been released to the media. And that is why I think the Browns have released it. And as a guy who would like to see the Browns do well someday before I die again, or I didn't die already.

No, before I die. It's a ghost. Ghost. Before I die again? Or I didn't die already. No, before I die. It's a ghost. Ghost. I would hope they could void this contract. That'd be great. Yeah. But I'm still watching Baker over there in Tampa. Yeah, maybe get Baker back.

Kind of kick ass. He looked pretty good in game one, week one. Not bad. Oh, yeah. Get Baker close to me. Did you guys talk about the Line 4 guy appearance on Cleveland Radio on Monday morning? I don't know who Line 4 guy is. Why is that, like, owned by the ticket or something?

You can't say Line 4 guy? I know a guy named Heart Attack Man. Heart Attack Man. No, I don't know. Okay. No, we played that piece of audio. It kind of sounded like him, but I think when you walk around Cleveland, everybody kind of sounds like him.

Really? Yeah. There's a Cleveland accent that I don't know if I have. I don't? Okay. My wife's from Cleveland. Does she have one? Okay, because some people, when you're in Cleveland, you can really feel it.

What's the nuance of the Cleveland accent? Is it like akin to Chicago at all? I was really picking it up from the TikTok tavern lady. Oh, yeah. But it's hard to, there's a few phrases, I got to think about it. But when you're there, it's really prevalent. Because when you think of Midwest, you think Chicago accent. Growing up, I thought we didn't have accents.

I thought everybody else did. Oh, yeah. For sure, baby. Yeah. You say baby a lot. The other sports story we wanted to get into before KT, Kevin Turner, leaves. Because you have a job. Yeah. You don't have one job. You have many. Because you have a job. Yeah.

You don't have one job. You have many jobs. I have many jobs. One job is the name of our kicker league. It is. Because they have one job. Although they do kick off too, and now it's a little more confusing. It's strange. These guys are going to want in next year, I can tell. Did you see Cade York?

Do you know Cade York? Are you familiar with him as a fantasy guy? Former Browns kicker? Yeah, he was actually drafted. So you don't waste a draft pick on a kicker. No. But the Browns are like, hey, what if we did? They drafted him fairly high, as I recall.

It wasn't a seventh rounder. Right. And he ended up just sucking. In fact, I think he lost me the first week. It was Baker against... I'm trying to remember, but he missed a big kick. I remember

a lot of my... that I have a lot of losses. Anyway, he did it again this weekend. If you picked Cade York in the one job, I believe he missed a few kicks, kicked one out of bounds, a kickoff out of bounds, and then got released Tuesday

or Monday or whatever. Yeah. Anyway. I care a lot about kickers now. Oh, yeah, you will. You're going to feel it, man. No, I don't want to. It's so fun.

So our next sports story that we didn't really... Oh! Let's see the other one real quick. We have two, kind of. We have a Tyreek Hill video we want to watch. The Tyreek Hill arrest video. But this just broke yesterday. Something about Shannon Sharp.

Yeah, who's playing this? I don't have it. Rob, you want me to do it? Yeah. All right, stand by. Okay. I thought you were prepared. I mean, you told me to load it in the effing Dropbox.

I figured you want me to do that so you can play it. Oh, okay, then I'll play it. And I guess this audio cable's for me. Looks like my first day. Come on. All right, here, I'll play it. Then I got it right here. I'm ready to go on. All right. Here, I'll play it. No, I got it right here. I'm ready to go.

I'm ready. Okay. Let me play it. So apparently Shannon Sharp... Maybe we shouldn't play it. ...livestreamed himself on Instagram. And that's not uncommon. People do it all the time.

I think we sometimes livestream the show on YouTube and Facebook and Twitter. But he didn't do it all the time. I think we sometimes live stream the show on YouTube and Facebook and Twitter. But he didn't do it on purpose. He accidentally clicked live stream and with his camera pointed at the ground, he recorded himself doing this with this person. You have to change the audio. It's not working. Yeah, I plan. Go for it. So he was live streaming Instagram.

Yes. Saying some stuff. People were commenting. Like, hey, football is happening. I don't know if it ever started as a serious stream. I think he just hit the button on accident. Yeah, it was an accident. No, he was not breaking down Patriot's Bengals and then just rolled over.

So this is him making love. Uh-huh. Hot love. This is not making love. This is a bear trying to kill a rabbit. If you listen to the end of it. This is taking out anger. Listen.

Oh, why are we playing this? Because it's fun. So uncomfortable. It is. Damn. Wow. Ah!

Are women normally that into it? Yeah, what the hell? I've never heard that before. What are those noises she's making? And he's acknowledged this, right? He's like, yeah. Yeah, he did a show later that night. He lied about it first, though, and said he got hacked.

Oh, really? Yeah. And then later, it was like lied about it first, though, and said he got hacked. Oh, really? Yeah, he... And then later, I was like, okay, yeah, I hit the button. Actually, this isn't that bad for my image. Like a six-hour lie. Then I think he just said, it was just me being a healthy adult male. Yeah, he didn't apologize. He goes, I don't apologize for the act or what I was doing.

I just apologize for being irresponsible with my phone. And you know what? Good for him. But he said... Eh, but the first lie... The first lie is terrible. Me and my team are looking to see who did it. Who hacked my phone? We're on it. We're using all of our resources to find out... Then he talked to his people

and they're like, look, this isn't bad. You've got some other stuff that might end up being bad. Let's just keep this one out there. and people will think you like the F. I think the claim of being hacked is actually used accurately about 1% of the time. Like an actual hacking of your phone. Think about that. Right. Why would I put that on there?

Right. You just made a mistake, bro. Or your homie got your phone. I guess you'd have to do it if that wasn't his wife. Or, you know, if he was cheating on his wife. Yeah. Then you would have to say, I've been hacked. And then you have to stick with that.

And these are, I guess he says a name in the video. Is it Michelle or something like that? The kind of dirtbags that people are now. They found out who it was within 10 minutes. So he's not married, is he? I don't know. I don't know. Did they really?

Yeah, like shockingly quick. Can we get a picture? I'm sure she's an attractive lady. Yeah, she'll post pictures in lingerie on Instagram. I think our sit-in has a question. Are you raising your hand for a question? Yeah. I know my place.

So you famous guys who do streaming things on your phones, you don't have a separate phone just for that so this doesn't happen? You don't think about that? Well, no. Even if he has a separate phone, he accidentally hit the button. Okay, but that shouldn't be an accident. If it's a separate phone, you put that phone away. If he wasn't doing a broadcast before, but that shouldn't be an accident if it's a separate phone. You put that phone away. If he wasn't doing a broadcast

before, that phone shouldn't be in there. Oh, I see what you're saying. He was just goofing around on Instagram and then just accidentally hit the button and then set it down. I think he's saying what we're all thinking. He did this on purpose. Oh, well, yeah. I can see that.

I don't know. Why would you initially deny then? That's his whole part of it. Part of the bit. Part of the bit. Keep his name out there. Now people are talking about Shannon Sharp. Where's he? Now everyone thinks.

Let's go watch. What's his show? Where is he for real? Undisputed or something. He does the nightcap with Chad Johnson. But now, like today, everyone just thinks like, yeah, this guy can just lay the wood. That's not bad PR. Outside of the breathing, it's not bad for him.

Was he with Skip? He was. Skip and Shannon. Skip stabbed him in the back. Okay, so he wasn't with Stephen A. Smith. Who's with Stephen A. Smith? Why do I act like I care? I don't care where he is.

I don't know. But let's not find out the I don't know. But. Let's not find out the answers to those questions. But not a bad point. Like he would put himself in the news because like. Oh, no, you got me. I was just railing this chick. Would we be as excited.

Would one of you guys do that? Would we be as excited if it was Skip Bayless's live stream? Accidental live stream. Yes. It'd be great. I think I'd be 50 times more excited. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I assume Shannon Sharp is out there.

At one point in the audio, because somebody actually transcribed it, so there's subtitles. Why? Why do we need that? This is good. At one point, he tells her to move her toe. Move your toe? Yeah.

Move your toe. I think Right there. Move your toe. I think he said something about... You ever like try to... You ever have to move your dog away? Because my dog will come lick the toe. That's my Michelle. Is he saying that's my Michelle? Uh-huh. Michelle. I would think a guy like him

wouldn't want to use names just on the chance that you might use the wrong one. Well, he's going at it, bro. It's like at 42 seconds, I think he says, tickle my perineum. No way. What? Yeah, it's very clear.

Okay, yeah, she's into it. That's great to see kids these days. The other sports story then, video that we had, we wanted to watch it, the Tyreek Hill. You got 10 minutes, right? Yeah. Okay, the Tyreek Hill arrest video got out there. This, thanks to our good friends at the –

should we credit our buddies here in the building? Fox, Fox 4 News. They uncovered this for us. And so I thought we should just sit and watch the video to see, is this a, is this warranted? So, you know, Tyreek Hill before the game, arrested. Pretty badass, kind of like Scotty Scheffler gets arrested and goes out and plays very well.

He scores a touchdown. You see the celebration? It's the coolest thing I've seen in some time. They did the... Take a look at the celebration if you can find it. The touchdown celebration was him getting handcuffed. Now, not thrown to the ground as we will see.

Let's take a look at the video. Can we pause it if we need to? So this is him getting pulled over. Sweet, you know, kick-ass car, whatever that is. Rolls his window up. Jeez, four motorcycles behind him? Yeah, he rolled his window up after giving him his ID or whatever.

He only rolled it down a couple of inches there. is there. Get out of the car. Get out of the car right now. We're not playing this game. Get out. Get out. Get out.

So he tells him to get out. He starts getting out. But before he can actually just get out, they're like, no, they're all fired up. Can you pause it? Yeah, back it up just a bit. Because I think that part's important. He's on the phone, and you can hear him say, drew i'm getting arrested drew rosenhouse his agent right now we're not playing this game get out get out get out like he is getting out but then they yank him out and throw

him to the ground certainly unnecessary right 100 Hey, Drew, I'm getting arrested, Drew. I'm getting arrested. Hell, yo. Yo, bro. Bro. What's going on? Bro. Bro. Yo, bro.

Dude, being on my window like he crazy. I ain't do nothing to him. Hey. Hey, don't park there. Don't park there. If someone else stops and pulls up right in front. It might be Odell Beckham. Hold on. We'll get that.

Hold on, bro. I just had surgery on my knee. I just had surgery on my knee. So for no reason. That's my fantasy receiver. Pause that and back that up. Yeah, they told him to sit down. Be careful with him. He was my first pick.

So the thing is, there, again, there's a ton of cops there. For a seatbelt infraction. I think it was a seatbelt infraction. That's what it was? It was a seatbelt, and I think... Was it going real fast? I think he was speeding. But I think it was mainly, they cite him for seatbelt.

That's what is said on the video. His windows are tinted. I have no idea. Maybe they have special technology. Special police technology, Blake. Or maybe they pulled him over for speeding. He rolls down his window and he's just still not wearing a seatbelt. I don't know.

Yeah, it could be. But they end up, yeah, they pull him over, tell him to get out. And I'm sure he's copping a little attitude there. Yeah. But that is no reason to throw someone to the ground, I don't think. You know, your job should probably be to de-escalate, not to escalate. And then, yeah, let's go back to it where, so now they're kind of standing outside the back of the car.

So clearly he's posing no risk here. He is already handcuffed. And there's like four cops around, and they're telling him to sit down on the curb. And he doesn't comply within like five seconds. They're trying to get him to sit down. They're trying to push him down to sit.

He's about to sit down and some other guy just yanks aggressively. I just had surgery on my knee, bro. I just had surgery on my knee, bro. I just had surgery on your ears when we got there. You hear that? Yeah, so that surgery on my knee. bro. I had surgery on your ears when we got there. Oh, chill, bro. Chill. You hear that?

Yeah. So I had surgery on my knee. He's like, what a coincidence. Should have had surgery on your ears when we told you to roll your window down. Yeah, they're all just high-t'd up, bro. They're being total Ds. That situation should have never escalated to that. And I don't know if you guys are ever on social media and you watch one thing and you see 50 of them. I think I watched a video once of what your rights are when you get pulled over,

that you don't have to roll your window all the way down, that you don't have to present some, I don't know, you don't have to get out of your car. You present them your ID and you can basically not say a word to them and just ask them for the ticket. I don't know if that's applies in every state, but if any of that is true, it seems to me like, look,

I rolled my window down. I gave you my ID. I'm rolling it back up. If you need me again, let me know. And they're just pissed. And by the time he's like not rolling his window down, the door is open they are pulling him

out of the car throw him on the ground there's just no no attempt to keep this chill why are there four motorcycle cops following this guy unless he was trying to evade them or not a failure to pull over i don't understand why there's so many cops and granted what's he driving a lamborghini or something mclaren or mclaren or something like that i did see a video of them uh before the arrest and it looks like they're just patrolling traffic okay they're right by the okay that makes sense so like yeah so you got typically that will happen you'll have four cops with a radar gun and i got this one and they'll go chase after that that car that's speeding or i saw that's speeding.

That's probably how they saw that he wasn't wearing a seat belt because they're looking head on as opposed to the side of the car through tinted windows. You're close to the stadium three hours before the game, and a nice car goes by, and you're in Miami. I would just assume it's a dolphin, and he can speed. It's fine. I don't understand why you would have to pull over anyone there. If they're driving a sweet car like that, you know it's a player.

And the day- Get your county the money. But you don't do that, even if he's kind of an a-hole to you. What if he had the under, though? That's true. You'd want to keep Tyreek Hill out of that game. Dude. Or just kind of hurt his knee.

That happened in The Shield. Can you imagine how much they could sue them for if they actually re-injured his knee? Because that's like a $100 million knee, right? Probably couldn't sue him. No? You can sue anybody for anything in the United States, Robert. You can't. Yeah, you can try.

Oh, he's going to sue Dade County or Miami Police or whatever this is. This video is not. Look, I agree. You comply. Put your hands on the steering wheel. I get it. I do it every time. And I do not look like what a typical threat would be to police

officers i get that but i'm still doing it yeah no they're they're humans but man always said this to jake because jake hi t jake used to know the every rule yeah and would cite that and would not give them one extra piece of information they'd be like hey where are you going tonight he'd be like you don't need to know that no right away i'm not doing that i'm not doing that just lie just want to get it over with as soon as you're going to get if they can do anything to you like immediately you are signaling i want you to try look for anything you can on this car my goal is to show enough um concern or empathy towards what they're going through by keeping my hands on the steering wheel. Oftentimes I'll have my hands literally outside of the window with my ID holding

it so they can see there's no weapons or anything like that. It's to me like show as much, I don't know, compassion that I might get out of this ticket for being a really cool traffic stop. See, I always think I'm going to get out of the ticket by being funny, and that's why I pull out my little squirt gun, and they think that's really funny because it looks real. No, it's like a lighter, and then it just lights, and then they always are like, oh, man. F-ing classic Dan.

This is great, man. I haven't seen that one in years. Pleasure to meet you. The lighter that looks like a handgun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So that's what I always endorse. I think he was calling for that, or a couple of those guys to get fired, which is funny

because the internet's now like, well, no one called on you to get fired when you pushed your pregnant girlfriend down five stairs. Yeah, that's a... He did address this. And Rob, I think I've got this set up so it should play. Here we go. He addressed his pregnant girlfriend? I guess I don't.

I'd set the thing up, Blake. I did what you did. Is it real? It's called Tyreek Hill Responds. It should be in that same Dropbox folder. I do love you setting up audio that doesn't play. Could have been better. I could have let it out of my window

in that instant. The thing about me is I don't want attention. I don't want to be cameras out, phones on you in that moment. That's why I'm driving such a modest vehicle. I don't want people to notice me.

At the end of the day, I'm human. I i gotta follow rules i gotta you know um do what you know um everyone else would do i know what he was thinking too when he gets pulled over like all right i'll pay whatever it is i don't care i'll speed every day give me the ticket i gotta go bro but yeah, so now, does that give them the right to literally beat the dog out of me? Absolutely not. But at the end of the day, I wish I could go back and, you know, do things a bit differently. And that one little blurb in the middle of what was starting off and ended with contrition is why he's going to sue them.

It does not give them the right to beat the dog out of me. There will be a lawsuit. I fully believe that. With what damages? Emotional distress. Civil rights. Maybe he will say that his rights were violated by being yanked out of his car. And the fact that it was all filmed and put on the internet as quickly as possible.

What about the Mann Act? What about the RICO statutes? Right. Yes, it's a RICO case. How long does it... Do we find out sometimes that it takes like a month to get... Well, we're still waiting on the body cam footage from that officer. This was out like in two days.

Yeah. Yeah, credit to hours. The body cam stuff? No, the cell phone video immediately, but I'm talking about the video that we were watching was body cam number three. And then there's another, if you let that video play longer, it's like

Odell Beckham is the guy that pulled over. That's who that was? And then came over and he was yelling at him like, call Drew! Call Drew! Yeah. That's their blanket. They need their agent. I need a Drew. And even, you know, when they had Brian Robinson

on, the commander's running back that got shot, as soon as he got shot he knew to call commander security detail. He's like, hey, I've been hit. I've been hit. It's amazing the numbers these people have. When Zeke allegedly punched that DJ at the bar and uptown. Oh, that DJ. We haven't been heard

from again, has he? The NDAs were handed out before the cops got there. Yeah, that was great. Every team's got their fixer crew, right? If we could only get punched by Zeke, man. I wouldn't live through it. I don't think any of us would. Oh. Well, there's the risk you have to take. Yeah. Hey, KT, thanks

for joining us. KT, ladies. I gotta leave. It's about to be my favorite part of the show. KT. Break. Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in the Cleveland Grounds as we welcome ABC television star and Cleveland native Drew Carey to help us welcome the Browns back to Cleveland. Thank you. I want to send a message.

A message to everyone who ever made fun of Cleveland. A message to everyone who ever made fun of Cleveland. A message to anyone who ever told a Cleveland joke or laughed at a Cleveland joke. You can now officially shut up! We're here to play football, baby! And if you came here to get mellow, you can turn around and get out. Because freedom rocks in the right. Freedom rocks. Freedom rocks.

Freedom rocks. Freedom rocks. Freedom rocks. Freedom rocks. Freedom rocks. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone.

The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. You got that cool voice all the time. Jake just has it when he's sick. No, Jake's voice is deeper than mine.

I don't know, you got cool announcer guy thing, though. I can fake it. I don't sound like that in real life, though. Boy, that was more fun off the air than we were having on the air. I can't even remember what we were just talking about. It's a shame you can't rewind life. That one black mirror you can, right? With the contact lenses that record everything

or something. Oh, that was the implant that you got behind your ear, and it was like a DVR for your life. Do you remember that episode? Yeah, didn't he rip it out at the end? Yeah, because you just don't want to be that accountable. Didn't he cheat on his wife or something? Or she cheat on him?

I think she was... Yeah, it was... And then you get to watch what was in there? And basically, you can, at the end of the day, you can make a screen come up and watch. No, a goldfish? Like, I thought the fish was watching. Wait, hold on.

I think that's... Mic on. No, no, no, go to that mic.. Wait, hold on. Mic on. No, no, no. Go to that mic. My bad. I think he had to watch all the guys his girlfriend had screwed before meeting him. And that drove him nuts. What?

Why? Because he watched her life. From her POV. Yeah, her POV. Yeah, you can see it from the guy's POV. That'd probably be all right. She'd said, oh, it was nothing. And then he rewinds and it's like this two-week intense.

Blake is familiar with searching female POV on YouPorn. That's your keyword? It allows a new perspective. Why? Why would you want that? He just likes it. Different people like different things. Blake needs to see the dude, don't you?

Yeah. That's what we're saying here. You're now catching on, Danny. I need to see Shannon Sharp. Blake likes to see the dude. I just like looking at a floor. So we were talking therapy because we're going to talk about better help. And I was watching The Sopranos this morning on your recommendation.

The documentary or the actual show? The documentary. Yeah, yeah. Wise Guys. Yeah, Wise Guys. So it's HBO. It's two Eppies. Mm-hmm. Each about, I think, an hour 15, hour 20.

Correct. And so I watched episode one this morning. I will watch episode two later today or whatever, before tomorrow's show. Do you want to save it for tomorrow? To give you my full review, but I just want to say it's great. Thumbs up. Blake, did you watch Sopranos? The TV show? No, I fell off. You fell off? Okay. I would think

if you've never watched The Sopranos, this wouldn't really do it for you. No, I can't. I can't believe that anybody would want to watch it. Sopranos guy? Certainly, Robert. Never seen it. Oh, that's very surprising. Especially since you said you're not unfamiliar with therapy, right?

You've heard of people doing therapy and everything? Yeah, I've heard of it. Okay. Well, it's not strictly based on the Sopranos. Therapy isn't? Dr. Melfi was the first psychiatrist. Oh. Anyway, watching the, what do they call it?

The screen test or all the tryouts to be certain people. It's kind of amazing. Once you see the guy that you know gets it in that role, you're like, oh yeah, I can see all the people that tried out for Christopher. Or it was weird how even Little Steven, he was originally brought in to play Tony. Yeah, that's crazy. The story of how they found Little Steven on the MTV Music Award. He was inducting Bruce Springsteen into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or something like that. And David Chase is just kind of already working on this show. Yeah. Oh, my gosh.

That guy's real Italian. I think he'd be good on this show. And he would have gotten it had the network said, we can't have a rookie actor playing the protagonist in this series. Which is really interesting because, I don't know know the gandolfini at least had acted before he had had you know he'd done a number of things and had acting chops little stevie was a guitar player in a band but the reason i find it interesting is because like i read the book about hbo there's a big giant really long book on the origin of HBO. I can't remember what it's called.

But their big thing was... Tinderbox? Tinderbox, sounds right. Their big thing, and I love that book. It's very inspirational. It's a big book. I think. As far as doing kind of what we're doing and trying to do something a little different too.

Their big thing was that we're, we hire good people and then we don't mess with them at all. There are no meetings. There are no notes. You know how you hear, in fact, David Chase was talking about, he worked for the network and he worked for, you know, he was on the Rockford Files and he was on all these other shows. And, you know, you meet with the executives, and they'll be telling you, can't do that, can't do that, let's change this, let's get a different name of this, whatever, a lot of things. Well, famously, people have gone through problems with network executives. Well, HBO, their big thing was, we're not going to do that.

We're going to hire somebody from network TV because they've been in this box. We want them to now break out creatively. So I'm going to hire you and say, you are the expert at making a show. We are the suits. Do your thing, whatever it is. And like the only notes they would ever give in the early days of HBO, what if we tossed in a little nudity? What if you said the F word?

Like they want you to do that because they just need you in every show that you watch. And this was big in Dream On or some of their other early shows, Arliss. We just want you at some point in this half hour to be reminded that I'm not watching regular, the TV that I've come to know as TV. It's not television. So I need a boob. It's HBO. Yeah. Just toss in a boob, toss in an F word, even if it didn't really need it. And so that's why Dream On, every episode, as young Dan, I don't know about young danny would love when i got to go to a friend's house who had hbo because there was like a hot naked girl in every episode it was a glorious time even for 10 seconds when i'd be like oh my god somehow convinced my food stamp family to pony up the four dollars a month that it costs back then to get that channel

added to our cable. It was a game changer. Your dad didn't just watch the cable man wire it and then do it when he left like my dad did? Well, my dad wasn't living in the home. Okay. Yeah. Bear trap. Sorry. It's fine. It's been well documented. I'm surprised you didn't already know. We had free cable. Yeah. No, we, yeah. Before then, you know, people always talk about scrambled porn. We did. The HBO channel was scrambled.

It was, but you could kind of tell what was going on. Right. Every once in a while you could super pixelate it. It was like watching, you know, Japanese adult films. If you recorded it on a VHS tape, you could pause it perhaps. Maybe. Certain spots. But yeah,

mom finally broke down and got HBO because I convinced her that I needed to watch Wimbledon. What? Well, Wimbledon was on HBO. It wasn't for the dream on nudity. It was solely for the dream on nudity. Because I love tennis,

mom. Yeah. Yeah. But this documentary is great. Yeah. Finish it up and let's maybe go a little more in depth tomorrow because it's so good. And Dr. Melfi, who was Karen in Goodfellas, of course. They wanted her to play Carmela.

Wanted her to play Carmela, but she said, I want, I think this is like the best character. Well, she'd already done that role playing a mobster's wife in Goodfellas. So she just didn't want to rehash that and felt like this was a very original take on the mob because it ended up not really being about the mob, but it wasn't supposed to be that way. Like that was supposed to be a one, like a one season kind of thing to where Tony has anxiety attacks because of his relationship with his mother. And because of that, he has to go seek out therapy to get put on medication and ends up doing some work. But by the end of the season,

he's supposed to actually kill his mother. It didn't happen that way in Sopranos. Livia didn't die at the hand of Tony in Sopranos, so David Chase changed that. But he had this script playing around for a number of years and got turned down by every single network and brought it to HBO, and they said, let's do a pilot. Did he not

end up killing her because she just died on her own in the off season the yeah the actor that played Livia did did pass away so they had to uh you know figure that out I don't know if that's why they wrote because I wonder if that was took out Tony actually killing his mom in Sopranos because of the actress's health situation? Or if that was a reaction to it. I don't know. Well, that Sopranos talk, and especially the stuff about Dr. Melfi, was sponsored by BetterHelp. sponsored by BetterHelp. If you have something you'd love to learn, or as an adult, if you don't really make time to learn new things as often as you'd like, or something that was lost in childhood, you lose that curiosity sometimes. So maybe it's gardening, a new language, or how to beat your

best friend in bowling. Therapy can help you reconnect with your sense of wonder because your back-to-school era can come at any age. Many people have benefited from therapy.

actually have an Apple Watch, correct? Yes. I do not. But in the last, what is it it today thursday two and a half weeks i've rededicated myself to some type of old man fitness because raising a little baby it tells your kid he's three and a half okay he's old enough now not that i can't i'm able to carve out some more time to be able to do that and the best thing that i know that I can do for myself, two things that I love to do is rowing and walking. And I've got a rower that I've had for years, and that's usually my go-to. And you love to row. Love it.

It's awesome. 30 minutes on that thing, four times a week, it will shred you. Even good with the bad back. Zero impact. Really? There's no impact. Yeah, it's great for your back. It's probably one of the best forms of complete total body exercises. I would recommend getting a rower

at your house if you haven't already. Just like Frank Underwood. And I have one of those water rowers, and that was the inspiration to get one. Yeah, because I knew I wanted one. I was like, what is that thing with the water in it? And got a rower the problem is they if you use them a lot they do break down so i've been waiting i've been fixed there's danny rowing yeah tandem rowing i was live uh live streaming it on instagram last week with my friend michelle she's really good as you can tell see See how tired I'm getting at the end? Yeah, you know, tired, but good workout. But, so I've been waiting on these parts to arrive so I can fix mine. So I'm like, you know what?

I'm just going to start walking like five miles a day. Just go out for an hour and just knock it out. And I have been, but I'm like, I want to be able to calculate my stuff. So I got one of these cheap $50. It's basically a smartwatch is what they call them. It's not even linked to my phone. There's no app. It just retains everything on here, but it gives you your heart rate. It'll give you your oxygen level. If you want to test your oxygen, your blood oxygen level. But the main thing is steps, distance and calories. So I set goals in it. So I want to do 12,000 steps a day

burn 500 calories and whatever four miles or five miles or whatever and when you achieve these goals your phone will vibrate your little watch watch will vibrate so I've been really good about doing this every day. And I was always curious, how does it know every time you take a step? Okay. All right. And I guess I've learned... Because we're saying if I just did this... Yeah. Yeah. If you just did this... Just mean I have 10 steps. Yeah, it does. And I looked at that and it doesn't. Like you can see it counting. And if I do this...

If I just do this... Uh-huh. Yeah. If you're like... Yeah. You're not getting credit for that. You're not getting credit for that. Like, it didn't move. I'm still, for the day, at 3941. So this, it didn't work. This, it went up a step.

Really? Because I got notified one night that I had achieved my 12,000 step goal. Do you do that? Do you pleasure yourself with your watch hand? I'm left-handed, dude. And I wear my watch on my left hand. I thought if you're a lefty, you wear your watch on your right hand. You do.

But I've always worn my watch on my left hand. And much to my surprise, in the middle of cleaning the pipes at the crib one day. It vibrated. Oh, yeah. You have, congratulations. You have reached 12,000 steps. That's great. Yeah.

It kind of added to the fun. So that was actually, yeah. Did it surprise you? Yes, it did. I was like, wait a minute. I looked down and I was like, holy crap. Look at me. I hit my goal today.

That's awesome, man. I don't know why I admitted to that. But I did. That's why you got that Popeye arm. Yeah, yeah. Popeye by way of Kermit the Frog. Let's do some news. Here's Jay with the Dumb Zone News.

Put that on TV, Channel 27. That is more. We are like a night show. I don't think we're in safe harbor, though. What does that mean? You know what I heard about the Channel 27 thing? I was talking to one of the suits over here. Yeah?

And they said we not only kept but increased the audience. All right. Like their big key is the lead in. Do you keep the audience that you were handed? And then does it grow? And I said, well, what does that mean? Like there were six people watching, and then there were seven. He said, he just stayed vague.

Because I tried to be a little self-deprecating there. Nothing against more 27, but it was us. Like who would want to watch us? Apparently. But people do. Like double-digit people. Hey. Yeah.

How about that? Back to you, Danny. Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, 55 years old, this came out a couple days ago, announced on Instagram that he has recently become a new father. Congratulations. Good for him, because I think he's already got three or four kids with his wife. Big family man.

So here comes baby number five. But unfortunately, maybe unfortunately, he is having a baby daughter outside of his marriage um no details on who the mom is i don't know if it's even necessarily important but uh michelle yeah it's michelle um yeah he's having a kid. You know, no surprises there. 55, I mean, look, I can relate. Who, yeah, who among us? I get it. But yeah, this is, he went to Instagram to announce this, says, I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.

So it's strange that he announces this after the child is born. And it makes you wonder, was he part of this all along with this woman that he was having an affair with? Or did she all of a sudden... Did she just show up and say, hey Dave. I had this baby. Remember that time that we hooked up nine and a half months ago? Well, here it is. The baby came out.

He was able to play the guitar immediately. So then she was thinking, well, oh yeah, Dave Grohl. Yeah. The baby could play the drum intro to Teen Spirit. Is Dave Grohl the drummer? He was the drummer in Nirvana, but he's the lead singer and guitar player in Foo Fighters.

Okay. That's the curious thing to me. It's like, look, I could see it if three or four months into the pregnancy, it's like she tells him, hey, Dave, I think I'm'm pregnant i haven't been with anybody else it's most likely yours or it could have been that hey i'm not claiming this until i know it for sure it's my daughter that's probably what happened is the daughter was born he took the paternity test and proved that it is in fact his girl and it's like well i'm gonna be good for him look people have affairs all the time but the fact that he's going to be supportive to this girl and be a good dad i

guess as best he can be to to this brand new daughter that is that he's having and see how this works is some type of weird blended family situation with his uh current wife. I don't know, man. I think it'd be really hard for her to overcome the fact that he had a secret affair with this woman and had a child with her. But in this world that we live in, I think the progressive nature of how people can be sometimes in this day and age might be able to work together with this. If you're going to be married to Dave Grohl, you might know some of that stuff's happening. He was married previously, and I think their marriage ended as a result of his infidelity.

Yeah. So he's got a track record of this stuff. Again, he's a rocker. But isn't she all bent out of shape about it? The wife? Well, she probably made him. The current wife? Yeah.

She's probably the one that made him do this Instagram post. I have no idea. I've not read anything. There's no way he's doing this on his own. I've just seen that she's no longer wearing her wedding ring. She's probably pretty freaking pissed. Okay, but if he cheated to get to you, he's going to cheat on you.

Yeah, I don't know. I think he... And they have been married a long time. I think since early 2000s, 2003 or 4, something like that. So they've been together a long time. This dude's a rock star, man. Yeah, and a guy's usually only as faithful as his options are. For sure. And you got this sweet house.

You got a pretty nice life. Just let him do what he wants. She bought her ticket. She knew what she was getting to. Yeah. You say let her crash. Locally, this is a wild ass story There's a pen Oh, hold on, Robert's raising his hand

Go ahead, Robert Please Did Deshaun Watson do this better than Dave Grohl? What's that? Deshaun didn't have a kid He didn't have a kid? Yeah Isn't he beating Dave Grohl?

So to speak As far as what though, did what better? I mean, he doesn't have anyone to? Yeah. Isn't he beating Dave Grohl? So to speak. As far as what, though, did what better? I mean, he doesn't have anyone to cheat on, does he? Well, but just... He knew where to put it. 30 or 40 women and no kid. Yeah. Well, 30 or 40 women that are claiming that he violated the law.

I don't think Dave Grohl broke any laws, you know. That's only alleged with Sean Watson, though. It's alleged. He admitted no guilt. That's right. Brown's owner's daughter signed off on him going to the Browns. It's an odd question that I don't have an answer for, but what I do have is a story about a local pimp that is in a bunch of hot water and he has been arrested and charged

with numerous counts this guy's name is donald robertson 29 years old and he is 29 year old 29 year old pimp and he is uh arrested and charged with sex trafficking of a child sex trafficking multiple promotion of prostitution counts, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal sexual act, sexual abuse, and sexual misconduct, according to a release from the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office. Now, this arrest happened in New York, but this guy is from Dallas. He's a Dallas man. And what they're accusing him of, accusing him of that led to all of these charges,

him of accusing him of that led to all of these charges he forced two teenagers 117 and 118 by traveling from dallas to new york forcing them into prostitution beating them and then having them tattoo his nickname on their faces so after he gets to new y, he met these girls on Instagram. That's where we draw the line. The tattoo? Yeah. Yeah. We're going to get to the tattoo. I think he violated the Mann Act because he went across a straight line.

He did. 100%. Straight line. The Mann Act. The Mann Act. But what happened here is he lured these two teenagers, a 17 and 18-year-old, via Instagram, got them from Dallas to New York. And after several days in New York, he took them. We'll get to that in a second. So punched one of the girls in the face, pulled her hair, kicked her in the face, caused her to suffer a seizure,

stabbed the other girl on the side of her body with scissors, stabbed the other girl on the side of her body with scissors and had to go to the hospital to be treated for an infection. Just basically was incredibly awful to these women. But the tattoo, he took them to a tattoo parlor in New York and had them put his nickname on their face. His nickname is Blue Cheese. There is no positive... I got follow-up questions. Like, what's...

We need the origin of that. How did your nickname become Blue Cheese? Before we go into the past, Dan, let's look into the future. There is no positive outcome of any of these things that happen to these young women. It's terrible. But in the future, they would be able to go to a restaurant and order their dressing without speaking. That's the one positive thing. So much time saved.

That could come out of this. You just point to the tat. Ranch or blue cheese? Oh, blue cheese? And if you look at your video screen, you just saw a picture of some blue cheese. Thanks, Rob, for adding to the story. Blue cheese. Now, Dan, you asked,

how did we get to that nickname? Well, there was a guy in The Wire that was a gangster that had a lot of criminal activity. I believe he was played by Rapper Method Man, right? And wasn't his nickname Cheese? Maybe this guy got it from that,

but he just wanted to be a little sad. He's Blue Cheese. Or maybe he works very dirty. He's like the Lenny Bruce of pimps. Says bad words, yeah. I'm thinking this... Whoa. This really got me choked up.

It is an opportunity, though, for Hidden Valley to step forward and become the heroes in this story. By paying for the tattoo removal? They're more of a ranch dressing company, aren't they? I'm sure they do blue cheese. But yeah.

But it's Hidden Valley Ranch. How about Wishbone? Yeah, Wishbone. They do sell it. What about Paul Newman? Newman's Own. It's a shame he's no longer with us. Newman's Own.

Blue cheese. We'll pay for your tattoo removal. Feel good story? Uh-huh. Well, I hope this guy does lots and lots of time. You got time for one more? Yes. Let's do one more.

We talked about this in the break with our good friend, our sit-in guest today. And yes, he was correct. The Dallas City Council has voted, they did this earlier yesterday, to lower the speed limit on Central Expressway. Uh-oh. Lower? Lower it. That's not good. Because between Mockingbird and Woodall Rogers,

for the longest time, it's been, for several years, it's been 70 miles per hour 70 between mockingbird and downtown yeah i think it goes to 65 once you get north of mockingbird i think i may be wrong but yeah for mockingbird it's illogical what do you mean i mean you're just going to be bottled up usually anyway it should well that was their thinking that was their thought process in raising it to begin with is that it would a faster flow of traffic would um create less uh traffic jams yeah but uh they've determined that envy's and i think they're doing this that the city council is doing this a lot because a lot because of the uh the investigation that nbc5 did last fall and the series was called

driven to death and they revealed that 18 people had died and 78 more seriously injured in speed related crashes alone on central in dallas in less than five years they said that the 70 mile per hour speed limit was unusually high for a freeway running into the heart of a major city. I get it once you get out where traffic gets less and less, but from coming right out of downtown, and I do it all the time, man, and when I get on 75 and I know it's 70, I am gunning it. And apparently a lot of other folks are too, because there's been people that have been clocked by NBC5 in one night. one of them reached 131 miles an hour on 75 yeah you guys remember when rashid rice was uh involved in that accident where i think

four people got injured his lamborghini was going 119 when that went down wasn't that the tollway too i thought that was on 35 oh was it yeah it? Yeah. 75. Was it on 75? It was 75? Okay. All right. I'll be damned. Raise your hand, Robert. I'm just kidding.

So if they think by putting the speed limit to 60 or 65, they'll go. It's not going to change. Oh, you know what? I was going to go 130 when I saw it was 70. No. This is not going to change. But this will deter my behavior. It's not going to change a damn thing.

Not a damn thing. Get an extra 10 bucks on the charge. Think about when you're driving to Fort Worth from Dallas and it's 70 all the way up until right before Six Flags and then they drop it to 60. And it's like, I don't want to go 60 now. I keep going 70. Man, I really don't. This is bad. But care about the speed limit unless I'm driving on the interstate.

Because that's what I'll set my cruise control at. Yeah. If it's at 70, then maybe I'll set it at 80. If it's 65, then 75. But in the city, does this matter? Well, it matters for this. The reason that they're going to do this is... You never see Dallas cops pulling people over for speeding.

Not a lot. I would always think Dallas cops are busy doing... There's actual stuff going on. Yeah. Whereas if you're out in Grapevine, they got nothing to do. Yeah. This is what their thing is. Yeah. I'll see cops pull over people in set traps where

they're there every day. Dallas? Yeah. Yeah. There's certain spots like in more, not highways or freeways or whatnot, but in more like residential streets, because there's a need for that. There are certain areas where speeding is out of control and people are dying and getting killed over,

especially in my neighborhood, Ferguson Road, is like the autobahn between 635 and 30. But the reason they're doing this is because the number of speeding tickets written on Central Expressway for three years, from 19 to 21, they declined 70%. And you know what that means? There's a pandemic in there. There's a pandemic in there, but it also went down 30% compared to numbers before this. So you're including 2019 in there, too.

So it's not just all the pandemic. You've got a whole year in there and 70 is a lot to go down so they're not making the revenue that they were before so the reason they're doing this is they're going to go and lower the speed limit and what that does is it makes it a more expensive ticket now and if you're going 30 miles over the speed limit now if you're going 95 you can be arrested did you know that If you're going 30 miles an hour over the speed limit, you can go to jail. And they'll impound your car. I did not.

So that's why they're doing this. I made a mental note. To make... To get more bread. I don't want to say I've never done it, but... 30 over? Yeah, certainly I've done that somewhere.

It's pretty rare that I've ever hit 100. I haven't hit 100 in years. Really? Yeah. You? Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah.

You get on the bush, man. It's open. Just to see what the car will do. I just want to get home. I'm bored. Hey, 100, though. One thing goes wrong and you're probably dead. Just the survivability of a hundred mile an hour crash. Often in my head, 88 is my limit because of Back to the Future.

I don't want to be sent. You don't want to go back? No. I want to go to the future. I don't want to go to the past. I've been out on the highway before and hit his, and just kind of not just zoned out driving and not realized how fast I was going and looked down and had my mind blown.

And it was because the attention was brought to me by a buddy of mine who was riding shotgun with me and he had fallen asleep in the car. We were driving back from Shreveport one day from a recording session and he woke up and looked at me and he goes, what are you doing? And I go, what? He goes, slow down. And I looked down at my speedometer and I was going 115

on I-20. Dang. And I thought I was going maybe 85, but I just There's no job, dude. It's fun. Proud of you. It is fun. Really fun. I want to race, daddy. I would think I'd feel that. I would think. Proud of you. It is fun. Really fun. I want to race, daddy. I would think I'd feel that. I would think it would be shaking if I'm going 115. Well, the car was pretty new, and it was fast.

Close to nine. Oh, really? Yeah. It was like 10 years ago. I had a Volvo C30, one of those little hot hatch turbos. That thing smoked. Your Bronco Sport from Prosper Ford? I bet it's a smooth ride at 115.

Yeah, absolutely. You can get that thing to 120 and you'll feel like you're just on ice, baby. Gliding. I don't want to be on ice. Smooth. Feel the rush. Ride the dragon.

Oh. You know what soaking is? No. It's the way I think Mormon students at BYU said they would remain virgins because they would not move around when they were doing it. They would... You just let it soak. Kind of get together, and then they're laying on the bed together, and then somebody's on

the bed next to them jumping up and down, so it'll bounce the bed up and down, and that will bounce you, and then you're... But that's not like doing it. Look it up. Dear Tio Twat Taster. Holly. Tio. Happy birthday to day one, number 371, Jay Shuler.

Kennedy reaffirmed his support for the Manned Space Program, affirmed his support for the manned space program, declaring we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. What other things?

Pretty vague on the other things. On the other things. Oh, this is the day in 1999, the reason that you heard Drew Carey during the break. Because the Browns returned to the NFL after a nearly four-year absence. So it's kind of a yay-boo. Because, yeah, the Browns are back. Yeah. Then they lost 43-0 to the Steelers. Had their fewest net yards in the game since 1950,

the Browns' first year of existence. They were outgained in total yards 460 to 40. Can you imagine that game? Total yards? Total yards. Oh, my gosh. I'm sorry. Did you say 1999?

Yes. Wow. That's more recent than I thought. This is when they came back. Yeah. When they first came back. How long were they gone? Four years.

Why did they leave? They just wanted to. Just wanted to not be a team anymore? Probably just didn't want to be in Cleveland. Because Art Modell moved the team to Baltimore. Oh, that's right. Yeah, that's right. Yeah.

So they went four years without a team. Right. Okay. It was all a scam because the guy, a guy from Baltimore who could never get an expansion team, he got the Cleveland expansion. And then they had a new stadium in Baltimore. They got a new stadium in Cleveland. They sold PSLs.

I knew all that. It was a big scam. I just think it's Cleveland. I mean, how do you go four years in Cleveland without an NFL team? The Steelers had 32 first downs, Cleveland two. Deshaun Watson got first down number two Sunday with like 11 minutes left in the third quarter. Because it was fun looking at that on the scoreboard all game. What protocol did they have to go through to rebuild their team when

they came back? I mean, was it like an expansion draft? It was a full expansion draft, yeah. And did anybody else come back into the league with them at that time? Like when Seattle and Tampa came into the same year in like, what was it, 76 or 77? Or was it just them? Did they add something to the NFC? I'm trying to think. I think it was just them, which seems pretty wheels off if you would have an odd number of teams in the NFL. There's really no way to know.

That's one of the great mysteries of the NFL and their story. I've got this thing in front of me. I'm not sure what it is. No, no, there's no way. They ran 88 plays. Cleveland ran 28. On the ground, Cleveland did some damage. They gained nine rushing yards all game.

Nine yards. Can you imagine your fantasy team? Anyway. And on this day in 2008, a commuter train in Los Angeles struck a freight train head-on, killing 25 people. Apparently, the commuter train engineer, Robert Sanchez, he was among those who died. That makes sense, since he was the first guy on the damn train. He was texting. No.

And missed like a red light. Apparently they have a red light on the train track. Really? And it says he was texting. And on this very day in 1953, then-Senator JFK married Jacqueline Bouvier. Then-Senator JFK married Jacqueline Bouvier. But my point in bringing that up is, remember, on this day in 1962, he was giving a speech about the moon and stuff. So she was like, oh, can we go out for our anniversary?

He's like, you know what I do? I've got to give a speech on the moon. About the moon. Not on the moon, honey. We haven't been to the moon yet. But we're going to be there. And I'll be alive to see it. That's right.

Oh, today's birthdays. I could have used this for the open. Thom Brenneman is 61. Oh, man. How's he? I think he's back, like, announcing something. XFL or something. Did you see Castellanos Homer yesterday?

Yeah. Like, the list of he-Homers during tragedy announcements. Stock market crash or death. On 9-11. Yep. Andrew Luck is... How old do you think Andrew Luck is? 33. 34.

Okay. Yeah, about my age. Rob says 2. Early 30s. 42. I'm surprised. He's 35. I thought he was much older.

He's only 35. No, he should still be playing. And he's been gone for... A long time. Yeah. Yao Ming, 44. Freddie Freeman, today's War Games winner by a mile. 60.4 War Game, 35.

Freddie Freeman, same age. Actress Linda Gray is 84. Actress Linda Gray is 84 J.R. Ewing's wife on Dallas, I believe That's right Actor Joe Pantoliano is 73 Joey Joey Batts From The Sopranos

Yeah, yeah, he got his rug ripped off when Tony killed him And The Matrix Nina Blackwood is 72 MTV Yeah, he got his rug ripped off when Tony killed him. And The Matrix. Nina Blackwood is 72. MTV. Ben Folds, 58. I'm a fan of The Five. Okay.

Louis C.K., 57. Uncanceled. Is he out there? Yeah, I went to see him a couple years ago did he do stuff about being canceled or when he first came back after disappearing for about a year yes he did they do anything about his hog wasn't that his bit yeah he would he would fire out his hog yeah in a row he would ask permission first and then they'd be like all right i guess yeah but the problem was is these were female comedians that really looked up to him and were trying to get into the business so he had this kind of unspoken power to be able to get away with it yeah and that's kind of how

all that happened because he's like what i mean i asked you said it was cool it's like yeah come on my inner voice is saying no. Blake didn't mind it. I guess. Blake's cool with it. Yeah. He addressed it a little bit. When I first met Blake. Two Chains, 47.

Whoa. Alfie Allen is 38. Opie and Anthony and Alfie? Who's Alfie? Says here, Theon Greyjoy. Oh, okay. Oh, wow. I know you're stoked on Game of Thrones.

I love Game of Thrones. I thought the recent season of House of the Dragon was a beating. Yeah, I never really... I didn't love it. I just never got into Game of Thrones overall like you guys did. What'd you think of the season two of Dragon?

I haven't done House of Dragon. Yeah, you didn't even start it in season one? No, I got really into Game of Thrones. Like, I read the books. Yeah. I was expecting him to write another book. Mm-hmm. And so now I'm just kind of waiting.

But I got really into it it's fun i've watched uh i've run through it a couple times and i love it and sydney sweeney is 27. sydney's weenie sydney's weenie born on the stay now dead, Jesse Owens. Cleveland Great, who they treated awesome when he came back from the Olympics. And Paul Walker. Oh, I'll do this one for you. Neil Peart. Drummer of Rush, yeah. He had a pretty impressive kit around him.

Yeah, he had a lot of drums, Dan. Lots of drums. How do you know something about Neil Peart? I brought this up because Danny's sitting here. I would never have brought it up. He's largely considered one of the greatest rock drummers of all time. It would not be uncommon for a lay person

to know who he is. Sorry. It's like saying Eddie Van Halen almost right yeah oh okay well good job dude um uh good job mr crack spackler dead on the stay still dead we have david foster wallace who wrote infinite jest have you ever read it? Yeah. The whole thing. Well, yeah, that's generally what you do with a book. It's so big.

It is. And I've heard it's really confusing, and you have to be incredibly smart to read it. I've got a copy of it at my house, and I look at it every day. I had to go. And I think maybe one day I'll get to this. There were a couple times I'd read a couple pages and then go back and have to read those couple pages again. But, you know, it's kind of like the spring break trip I took on a bus when I was in college. We went from Columbus, Ohio.

I had to get there at 6 a.m., take a bus ride down to whatever it was. Not Fort Lauderdale, but one of those. Daytona. Like, I'm really happy I did it, but I wouldn't want to do it again. Like, I'm really happy that I went through the book, and I will think about it. What is the point of it, though? Is it enlightening? Is it funny? Is it just a historic, beautiful piece of art that you should take in i bought a copy like i said i bought a copy of it years ago

it's more of a meaning to read it and i look at society as a whole and uh i don't know i know if i'm going to try and say something about it then i'm going to get a lot of people telling me how I just didn't get it and I got it wrong and I'm now. That's not for them to decide. Yeah. He's trying to tell you it sucked. I liked it.

I'm very happy I did it. You know what? I might take that whole spring break thing back. I might read it again sometime. Okay. See if I can take in different stuff. It's just one of those books. But it is one of those books that I always have read.

It's on everybody's top five list. You know, it's always one of the great books of the 20th century and all that. And so it's like, okay. I did the same thing. I owned it for 10 years before I bought it. I've had it probably 10 years. Because it's so big and just looming. Yeah.

And then one summer I was like, you know what? I'm just going to read it. And've had it probably 10 years. Because it's so big and just looming. Yeah. And then one summer, I was like, you know what, I'm just going to read it. And it took me months. Okay. I don't think it's something I'd want to do on tape either. I need to actually put the eyes on the paper. Well, I've never done a book on tape. I've done it, and I don't love it.

I much prefer to have the analog version in my hand. I don't like reading on Kindle or phone or anything like that. On occasion, depending on the book, you know what I will do a book on tape? If it's a biography narrated by the person it's about. Like if you wanted to read Obama's biography and he's voicing it, then I think that's pretty cool. So I've done those a couple of times, but for the most part, I want the actual page turning experience and be able to stick it on your bookshelf when you're done. If you listen to a book on tape, can you mark it off your I read it list on my books I've read? Like you have an app that says.

I guess you can. Seems like a little bit of a shortcut. Slight cheating, maybe. Yeah, I say no. Which our buddy Blind Josh is very upset about. Okay. There are exceptions. No.

There are not exceptions. The rule is the rule. And I say he hasn't read a book in years. Oh, so you're saying that he needs, hey, he's blind. He has to get a Braille book. Yeah, okay. I see where you're going. And do this for, you know, as long as I'm sitting there reading a book.

That's how long it would probably take. Is he good at Braille? Ah, one of the best. You don't even know, do you? I have zero idea if he's ever. There's no way he knows any Braille at all. Really? Yeah, we're pretty sure he can kind of see.

Kind of like Stevie Wonder? Yeah, just there's a lot of people are talking about Blind Josh and whether or not he's just been pulling a fast one on us. Well, he used to. Kind of like Chief. But this is a degenerative... His vision loss was a degenerative thing that's kind of increasingly got worse. I mean, so he said. Is that right? Because I remember

him 20 years ago and he seemed like everything was fine. Right, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. Now all of a sudden he's like, oh no, I can't see. Give me government benefits. Okay. Yeah. I don't know, bro.

But it does get you to the front of the line. It does get you to the front of the line. Great for you invite him along for parking. Yeah. Front of the line for the Dr. Phil show. That's right. Yeah, we went to the Dr. Phil show. Can we talk about that tomorrow or did you already talk about it?

I don't know. Like eight months ago when we went, we talked about it.. Phil show. Oh, can we talk about that tomorrow, or did you already talk about it? I don't know. Like, eight months ago when we went, we talked about it. I haven't heard it. I'll talk about it again. You think I subscribe to this shit? No. What's wrong with you? I just watch the free clips on YouTube.

Anyway, dead on this day, it's David Foster Wallace. We have Ray Dolby. Dobly? Dobly. Is he the guy that invented the sound system? The Dolby noise reduction system. And died on this day in 2013, Herman Bachelman. He won the Dallas Observer 2005 Best DJ in Dallas.

What's he go by? Herman Bachelman. Like that's his DJ name? He I met him And I once had dinner with him Because I was obsessed With Herman Bachelman

He had a radio program On KAAM 770 AM Where in the early Early 2000s Okay You just Completely threw me off And it was every Friday night where in the early 2000s... Okay, you just completely threw me off. And it was every Friday night, and it was called Europe Today.

When you said DJ, I immediately thought of Daft Punk and some guy with tables. Oh, okay. I'm like, what? Well, no. It was the Dallas Observer. In fact, the reader's choice that year, I just looked this up this morning, was Kid Craddock. And Herman Bachelman, though,, the reader's choice that year, I just looked this up this morning, was Kid Craddock. Herman Bachman, though, won

the observer's choice of best read day. He was just wild. He had a wild, thick European accent. German guy. Did you know Herman Bachman? Are you new of him?

Video man is sometimes audio man. I know. I have to take my headphones off because I'm in delay with you boys. Yeah, he's a cool guy. He had like a German show or something like that. I think he did mornings on KAAM. And then he worked. You remember Hugh Beavers?

Yeah. Yeah, of course. He worked with him over at KAAM. But yeah, great dude. Hugh Beavers was the engineer over there. Yeah. Yeah. Old Herman Bachman.

I was trying to remember who that was. I didn't know he did a morning show. I just knew him as a Friday evening, driving around on Friday night. Maybe that's who it was. Yeah. Ready to go out. He had a long time show, though. We happened upon Herman Bachman.

Did he play music or did he just talk? Yeah. Yeah. It was mainly German music, if I remember right, right? Yeah. Polkas. Yeah. And he had this music, I remember right, right? Yeah, polkas. And he had this really big thick German accent and he was really

boisterous and he was hysterical. He was awesome, yeah. I met him... How did he end up here? I don't know. You never know. Well, you had dinner with him. I thought maybe you would have asked that. I don't know, two? Like I had dinner, me and my wife had dinner with him and his wife at Uh-huh.

At some place. It was like a supper club. I know. Did you swap? We did not swap. Did you want to? Swap the strudel? I always want to.

If you're out with me and you see me with my wife, you don't even have to ask. You're in. Don't even care what you got to offer. It's just not this. Not this thing that's sitting next to ask. You're in. Don't even care what you got to offer. It's just not this. Not this thing that's sitting next to me. Oh, my God. What the fuck? We've driven this around the block enough.

Let's try this one. It's all rusty, but... Oh, my God. Let's just see if it works. I love 1992 Dan. He's just see if it works. I love 1992 Dan. He's nothing better. And that was Today in History. That's why you pony up the money each month, folks, is for that. See all the stuff you've been missing?

So now we're at the point of the program, Robert, what we call, you want to tell Danny? Do you know what we call it? This is closing remarks, my friend. I thought it might be a little more creative than that. The name. Wow. Taking shots. Geez, this guy, first of all, he rolls in whenever he feels like it.

In a Wang jersey. Mm-hmm. In a, well, that's a nice move. That's a tribute. The Wang juju, so did you buy that Wang? Oh, Way back. Right when? Like right when he went to the Clippers.

I saw an opportunity. Clearly at least one other person thought it was funny. The Clippers? Was that on a clearance rack? Yeah. Didn't he? He wouldn't go back to China. So Donnie cut him.

And he went to the Clippers. Okay. I didn't know that. I think so. But yeah, it was on clearance, triple XL. Like what, $15? Probably more. Yeah.

Robert has... Really long. Robert's our sit-in today. He has emailed us, and he was one of the first guys even to email us when we hit the... I was going to ask you about this. Hit the streets. You were going to ask me what? About this. If I knew?

My question was, did Dan listen to me? Well, you clearly know I didn't. Yes, I do. I just thought this should make the air. Because one of your points, he's like business guy. He knows things about the world. I started companies and i have named them in fact though i think the problem is had you emailed us this just we hadn't announced things when we said we have to

name this we're going to start doing it and uh then we'll figure it out as we go but uh he has like a seven bullet pointed email here on some business advice, which I effing love. I love it. I spent so much time deciding whether this would just end up as the ticket Hitler letter. Well, I'll tell you what. Jake didn't read any of this stuff, but I was reading all of it. Okay.

Again, I didn't pay attention to all of it, but I didn't get this one until after. It just says he's giving us tax advice, bank account advice, setting up a business advice. It's great. But number five, bullet point. In fact, he bolded this one. It says, I know you want to be creative in naming your company. Don't name it anything that would jeopardize your credibility in a

courtroom. This is act like your mom is watching Principal. And in fact, we were once in a courtroom. No. Where they had to bring up a couple of uncomfortably named things. I think the dumb zone won, and I can't remember some of the other stuff.

Oh, I was thinking about dumb zone 69. I don't know whether you, I kept in crack spanker. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know that names. None of those got brought up that particular day,

but yeah, I was pretty sure that that would be, uh, discarded with a little bit of humor. And, um, I would have been made fun of for writing that letter. Sounds to me like it was quite helpful.

Well, no. A lot of the other stuff really was. About a partnership agreement. It's good stuff. No, I still don't understand it all. Stuff I learned the hard way. You come up with names for companies?

If you're going to have separate entities, you have to name them. But that's like a specialty of yours? No. No, I run a fund. And if you're going to have separate companies, you have to come up and name them. Right, right. The other cool thing is, like, you think, like, president is something. In your agreement, you're going to lay out what the offices are.

So it could be president or you could name it El Guapo. Whatever you do, you just have to say, this is what the president can do. So that, at one point, I did have to explain why I was not the president. I was El Guapo. Oh, you had to in court? Not in court, but I did have to explain

it. To somebody who wears a suit? To serious people. Yeah. Okay. So your bit guy did they find it to be humorous? They didn to serious people yeah yeah okay so your bit guy did they find it to be masquerading as find it humorous as i did yeah yeah you're a big guy masquerading as a business guy in the real world essentially but they just don't all know well what's the last thing i wrote in that email about why i have to do that um i don't know, man. It's a long email.

It basically says, I think, something along the lines of, hey, all this stuff you're talking about is about how you're going to get to your people. You can replace that. The one thing you can't replace is you. That's why I don't have a radio show. Yeah. You did show humility there. Otherwise, I'd have a radio show. Yeah. You did show humility there.

Otherwise, I'd have a radio show instead of a hedge fund. Yeah, true. Do you think there's other reasons why you don't have a radio show? Or that's just the only one? The fact that I can't do what you guys do? Anybody can. Anybody can do this. Well, then what are the other reasons?

I think I'd rather have a hedge fund. Give me the freaking hedge fund. Yeah, I'll trade you. Yeah, I don't think I'd rather have one hedge fund. Give me the freaking hedge fund. Yeah, I'll trade you. Yeah, I don't think I'd rather have one because— I'm not kidding. I don't know what it is, and I'm sure I'd drive it into the ground. Well, that's what I'd do to a radio show. Yeah. Same.

Let's keep doing our bits. None of us wear our radio, so— Our Wang jerseys on our own time. So, closing remarks? do you have anything? Thank you for being so welcoming. It's not a bit for all of you who don't get to come here. I appreciate it. I am sorry to be late.

For the record, I did call, and I figured you could handle this without me. It's a reasonable assumption, right? Yeah, we got started. So I am sorry. I have a couple of questions what is sturm and drawn sturm and drung drung okay what is it i think it's a phrase it's an archaic phrase stern i believe it's and german drung means like a... It's like thunder and lightning or something. Isn't it something about a storm? It's something about... It's music.

It's like a... It says here, Sturm und Drung, a... Let's see. What does that say? A romantic movement in German literature and music that occurred between the late 1760s. It's something old. It's a movement in art and music. Sturm und Drang. Something Mike Reiner once heard and then said, yeah, Sturm und Drang!

Yeah. Second is a request. The second thing that made me fall in love with Dan mcdowell the first being the uh dinosaur poo-poo uh and and the thing that made me fall in love was the way you delivered it i had some sense i almost had kids because i thought it was really fun um so that's awesome. But the second thing is Dan's video about him reclaiming his eligibility for Pee Wee football in Cleveland, which you can Google it if you don't, but at some point you ought to play it, whatever it's worth. I think it's awesome. Yeah, we can play that.

More info, Sturm und drung it translates to storm and stress and it's become a generic synonym for turmoil well that's appropriate that makes more sense than the other definition yeah so i don't know whether you uh want to talk about this so if you don't don't is that the thing that was you being, mean to the kids and got you in trouble in Cleveland? You don't have to answer. I get it. No, I'll answer. Yeah, whatever.

You're mixing up a few stories. That didn't get me in trouble at all. That was a bit that I did for a midnight movie. They let us host one movie. I don't know if you ever had one of these guys in Dallas that just hosted crappy movies, but they would just do bits in between in commercial breaks. MST 3000? Okay.

That was British. So yeah, I grew up and there was a guy who did that on the weekends and then i always wanted to like host a host a crappy movie show and then just do skits in between and one of the skits in between was that and that was like in youngstown for youngstown tv um you're thinking even previous to that i was a play-by-play announcer in Athens, Ohio, which is where Ohio University is, but this is after I had graduated college, left, come back to be the Athens Bulldogs play-by-play guy slash sales guy throughout the day. Part of my play-by-play duties was hopping on the FM station in the morning to deliver a sports report. the FM station in the morning to deliver a sports report, and I reported that morning that tonight Athens is taking on the scummy Trimble Tomcats. They were just a local team that Athens was going to play.

This is in a very depressed area, a very deliverance-type atmosphere where you would have a lot of inbreeding and just very poor people. And, uh, Trimble especially was known as, you know, like this is all a toilet, but this is like the especially bad, uh, part. And one of the citizenship of Trimble, and enough so that I got suspended from that night's game. And if I wanted to keep my job, I was told I had to apologize to the team in person. So this was before a basketball game. So it was like a Friday. So Friday, I'm not going to now broadcast the game. I don't get to do that. It's the only thing

I wanted to do. Because my goal was to be a play-by-play announcer. That was my long-term goal. Baseball play-by-play is what I really wanted to do growing up. And so I had to go, uh, go into the locker room before this big game against Athens. And so now here's me 20, whatever years old thinking how ridiculous this is. Like I didn't mean, I wasn't looking at the socioeconomic, uh, they're the scummy... They're just our rival, you know. The hated. You're the... You're a play-by-play guy yourself. It's the scummy slime of bobcats, of course.

Yeah, you just... You hate them. Yeah. Rivals. That's what it's all about. You could have said hated. Hated, whatever they were. And you would have been fine, but because...

This bag might have called in anyway, but so so now i'm apologizing none of these kids like no one listened to the local radio station and no one knew no one had any idea about all this happening but i have to apologize in person to the kids had they not been scummy she wouldn't have been offended these kids are 16 17 years old i'm not even a decade older so i'm 23 or whatever like all right so yeah hey uh i'm sorry i mean one of your moms i mean it's you probably know what she's like and i just i don't know i apologized kind of And then I got fired. You should have rolled on it. You got fired for your apology? I got fired?

No, I just got fired anyway. Like, had I known I was going to be fired, I would not have gone to do the apology. But your dream was to do PBP, and I'll be damned, you were going to jump through whatever hoops it meant to achieve that goal, right? Yeah.

If it meant apologizing to the 16-year-olds. But you weren't sure you were going to be able to put that head, right? Yeah. If you've been apologizing to the 16-year-olds. So it was not the video. But you weren't sure you were going to be able to put that head sight on again. Yeah. He had his moment. All right. Finally, this won't buy me anything, but I'd like to defend Dumb Zone Reddit. I am a small contributor,

and that won't stop them from destroying me. My opinion is that Dumb Zone Reddit provided provided the dumb zone with a lot of leverage in legal proceedings because they could post things and do things that you couldn't have asked. And somewhere along the way, the local people had to tell the Atlanta people, hey, look, we're not getting away with this. There's a cost to this, even if we can afford the money. Whatever goodwill is worth and whatever being a big jerk and everybody knows it is worth, I can certainly –

you couldn't have asked for it and you couldn't have done it, but the Reddit people did it. Yeah, that's a good point. I also think they understand that the 690 guys – They get that the 690 guys, we're their Caitlin Clark. Like, if you guys like the leg room, just, you know, otherwise you'd be hearing commercials for extends. That's the way I look at it.

That's a good point. You can skip us. We're fine. Yeah. So, anyway, thank you. This is cool. All right. That's all I got.

There's Robert. I'm sorry. I was trying to text the Dan video to Rob and see if we could just play it now, watch it together at the end of the show. Any chance of that, Rob, or just search it on your computer, Dan McDowell 1997,

or would that take forever? That would take forever. All right. So who do you think is going to win tonight? I shouldn't have done that, right? You want me to just check out? No, no, no. I want to see the video, but I do.

So what do you mean exactly dumb zone Reddit was able to do things that, or say things that they couldn't say? I didn't really follow that or understand it in a way that I would like to have. They posted the transcript. The transcripts were big. Yeah. Okay. They were able, I mean, they posted the transcript. The transcripts were big. Yeah. Okay.

They were able, I mean, even if it was. Which was public. You could access that. Yeah, but not everybody is going to screenshot and highlight the way. You've got to spend $2,000 to get the, you can't just, they don't just give the transcripts away. But you can go find them on. You have to pay about two grand for somebody to transcribe it. And somebody did and put the transcript in the Reddit.

And that was big. I mean, because it may not cost them money that they care about to do this. But, you know, when somebody's on there saying, I don't know what the fan is, and somebody's saying, well, wait, I don't know what it is. Well, did you consider doing it anyway? That's just a, that's a lawyer not thinking about the question that just answered. And no, I didn't think about what I didn't know. The transcripts were huge and fascinating to me. I read so much of them.

Even if people are amateur lawyers and they're wrong, you still have a lot of people talking about it. That's in public. Everybody reads that. It's funny. In reading a lot of those transcripts and some of the key players that were involved and seeing how they spoke under oath, like, yep, that fucking checks out. At all tracks, man. They were doing things they wouldn't have wanted their mother to see.

And when you published it, when they published it, and you couldn't have done that. If you'd done that, you would have been, you know, they would have, you'd have been answering questions about disparagement and everything else. Yeah. But, so I think they gave a lot of, some form of leverage to you. So. So you want some credit. No, not me. I mean, I have a small user.

I mean, look, they're going to, I'm not going to go read whatever they say about me today. I mean, I get it. user I mean, look, they're gonna I'm not gonna go read whatever they say about me I mean, I get it But they get a bad rap, they did I mean, it's a group of like-minded people Who cared very much about you guys And actually served a purpose My opinion That's a good point

I love it, that's very cool Yeah Very cool Now, that's not gonna help me That's huge But whatever, it's true And I think all that vamping right there got us that video ready. So, yeah.

So, this is, again, we did a midnight movie or something. And they let us film, like, little bits in between. You know, in the commercial break, we would throw it to a bit. And so, this is one of them. Just two short years ago, Struthers football was dealt a devastating blow as two failed school levies temporarily put an end to high school football in this youngstown suburb but now the winning program is back on track and all is well with football and struthers or is it dan mcdowell six foot three 240, 28 years old.

Also the newest and biggest member of the Little Wildcats of Struthers. On May 18, 1997, McDowell won a Supreme Court ruling that allowed him to play out his final two years of eligibility in peewee football. To the chagrin of many parents and those 10- to 12-year-olds he opposes, McDowell will now suit up for his new team, the Struthers Little Wildcats. I was 10 years old. My coach had me playing defensive tackle, although I'm a natural linebacker. So I'm lined up against this huge guard, a big mother.

135 if he was even a pound. He comes barreling in on me, rolls into my knee. That's it. Done. I thought I'd never play the game again. 18 years and 100 pounds later, McDowell, who now holds the record for being red-shirted, attempts to make his comeback. We talked to Wildcat coach Joe Martin about his newest

superstar and those who oppose him. Now, coach, you've been taking a lot of heat over Dan McDowell here. Who are the people, and what have they been saying? Well, it's basically everybody out there. We have taken a lot of heat to the fact that Dan is not attending any classes at the elementary school but on the other hand I challenge anyone to check his academic record because he does have average grades in art and long division. He has above average in gym. Now coach

what kind of influence is he on the kids well i don't think he's very bad influence a lot of the parents are saying that he's a bad influence but i haven't seen anything like that plus a lot of his parents and the other kids dan you've been retired longer than these kids have been alive why now well i've been working out regularly you know jogging little Nautilus, free wigs, the bike, you know. And my wife said to me, you know, you look great. You're in the best shape you've been in in years, and you really love football. If you want to do the comeback, I am behind you 100%. And it just went from there. I decided I'd do it. Why this level? You know, in 1978, when I had the injury, I was devastated. I was crushed.

And I was playing for the Little Demons at that time, I think. My career ended in the Little League and I decided to pick it up where I left off. Because of your size and girth, aren't you kind of concerned you're going to injure one of these little kids? Well, I don't want to hurt or intimidate anybody. I just want the respect that I think I deserve. The respect that I didn't get back in Little Demons football. Start blocking, you big aloot! Watch number 15!

Dustin, how do you feel about having Dan McDowell on your team? I don't mind the pain, and the bruises go away in a week anyway. He buys me cigarettes and porno. His detractors say he's a weekend warrior, a bully. His supporters say he's just trying to finish what he started on the sandlots of Cleveland. But if you ask the man himself, he'll tell you he's in it for one reason, the love of the game of football. For Channel 33 Sports Extra, I'm Dave Denholm. Yeah! Woo-hoo!

Yeah! Woo-hoo! Brilliant. Just brilliant. Genius. Long bit, too. Long bit. It just seemed like a backhand, a little mixed messages. I'm just saying it's a lot of entertainment just notice your jersey number that bit's been going on a long time yeah
