Can you imagine being out in a car dealership's lot, like going from car to car, just baking? I'd rather be in a volcano. Spending your whole Saturday inside a dealership, just dealing with this guy and that guy. Why would you ever shop for a car to dealership when you could do it online at Fairleast.org? Especially during football season, you nerd? What are you doing? You're spending all day with Muscle Man and his monster energy drinks when it's 110 out there. You fool.

Fairlease.org. They can help you out of a bad lease. They can help you get into a new lease. We've heard from a number of listeners who had their leases with companies like D&M bought out. That happened to our friend Travis Gafford. He's in the commercial side of things. So if you're a business looking to upgrade your fleet, you're an individual looking to improve your vehicle situation painlessly. and do it in a way that chooses Texas

that go to fairlease.org, especially during football season. Happy Monday Victory Monday A case of the Mondays That's what I'm saying We're going to change what it means to be Monday I like that

That's what we're doing here I like that Except I already have a problem What do you mean? I forgot to put hair product in this morning. Do you just want me to say, but you look fantastic? No, because... Once you say he's gay.

No, because last week, I was out of product. I got some product for your hair. The problem is the one I have looks like C. We're in the first five minutes, so I don't want to... It looks like Gorman. Right, I know what you're saying. What do you think I was just saying? I've been out of it.

I know. That's why I was piggybacking off your C thing. last week I didn't have any and at the end of the week Dan was like you seemed a little off this week and it occurred to me this morning it literally might have just been that I didn't have shiny shit in my hair

Okay it wasn't I'm getting up at 3.30 I'm doing every Off air business stuff I know for sure that the hair product disappeared and you were like you looked like trash this week Well right now you feel peppy You guess the energy is

This other product but it again it's just, it tracks like, like, screaming in my hair. It doesn't, it doesn't work. Okay. But other than that. Does it taste like that as well? It's a great day.

It is a good day. A good day when we are here, here today is downtown Dallas, where our podcast originates from in the Game Day Men's Health Studios. That's probably what. you to get by Game Day Men's South, especially this month. They're doing out, they're doling out those free prostate cancer screenings because it is

prostate cancer awareness month. My guy. So not only just be aware of it and then just like go on with the rest of your day, you probably want to then be aware that it could be lurking. Could be lurking in your backside. That's what you can't see it because it's back there. Right. Yeah, you'd need a camera of.

Like wiener cancer would be easy. So anyways. To identify. You can go to one of their 12 clinics and get yourself tested, and they will give you a B-12 shot. Oh, free. That's right. I forgot. If you go get the test, you get a free.

I forgot the copy. Go get on God mode. I'm just saying, I would go there without the B-12 shot. I know, but I do like a nice B-12 shot. Especially if they're going to tell you you have cancer. Right. You know, I mean. You want to have good energy.

If you show up and they're like, deal with that. Yay, boo. Which one do you want first? And they don't have to do the digit. They're not going to stick a finger in you. It's technology and stuff. So thank you, Game Day, men's health. At gameday.domzone.com.

Anyway, it is Monday. We are in our Game Day Men's Health studio and we have a sit-in. Are you here at the behest of any local company that has bought this sit-in for you? Or you just here because you are Dan's soul? I am here because I am Dan Sawyer. I came into town. I live in a Carolina, so I lived in Myrtle Beach, and never have seen the Cowboys play in their stadium. I've only ever seen them on the road.

So came out, picked a game early in the year where I figured Dak wouldn't be hurt, beatable team. We could talk more about that later. And, uh, ooh, hit up. A little tease. He's on all cylinders. Yeah, we're doing radio. You saw the game, right? I'm going to watch it.

Don't tell me. I've T-voted. Yeah, so, but anyways, figured why I was in town, see if you guys had a seat available. So, no, just here, because I wanted to be here. I love it. I love that you plan this out. I love meeting real cowboy fans who would do things like this. I feel like we're a dying breed.

Like, you've got to have some level of confidence to travel across the country and go see a team, you know? What a game that he saw? To have it shake out like that and to be able to to be here on this day, especially to be able to do it with a name like Dan Sawyer. Holy shit, dude. Yeah. Power.

So much. You don't need the beard, but it works with a Dan Sawyer. Just a really sturdy name right there. The beard is more of a rebellious thing. I was in the Air Force. I don't know if you've ever heard of them. Right. I did that for...

Cheer Force. Yeah. Yeah, did you ever fly a plane? I flew in the plane. Okay. That's more than Mikey did. Very Soroy. No, no, no. Soroy was a grease monkey. So they called the chair force for people who don't do any flying?

Yeah, well, I mean, I didn't sit in a chair much. I think I picked the wrong job. I should have got Soroy's job where I could have, didn't he golf or something? That was his job. Probably right. Yeah, it's not far off. Thank you for your service. Always.

And you, you were basically. Yeah, do you play that card? You were Tom Cruise. First boarding on airplanes and stuff? No, the only time I play that card is it. if there's like a significant discount involved. Like at Lowe's, oh, yeah. Yeah.

Lowe's in Home Depot, I've heard, have the good stuff. Yeah, but besides that, I just, it's nice to not have to shave it anymore. So I don't even know if I totally love the beard. It's just more of like, you know. My dad pulled that. He was a, he had Yankees level control over his facial hair for 38 years. Couldn't go beyond the, couldn't go beyond the lips. Yeah.

And he's had a beard since then. cops you see cops do it a lot everybody just wants to rebel yeah not me I like to assimilate into a proper society all right well thanks dude

oh I want to make one mention too just a business type thing some issued mild complaints when we first started putting the program over on substack as well as Patreon. We are on Patreon.com

and we are on Substack. And this is for the folks who tune in to the Monday show for the free show. We have a couple free shows a week. We have two that are behind a paywall, including in general, every Tuesday with the Brandon Aubrey

show is going to be behind a paywall. And it's good to hear from him. He's a great dude. Anyway, that's one of the many reasons. We would say you might want to subscribe so you can do it on Patreon, or you can do it on Substack. So on Substack, part of the carrot to get people to jump over there last year,

because they do a lot for us, we actually can keep more of the profits. And they also host our website. Listen, I don't think anybody can, there's any retribution against us for saying this. We would prefer to be off of Patreon. Like, there's a lot of different ways you could get off. Why? They take too much money. Oh, okay.

That's what I'm saying. As the app and everything is pretty smooth. Yeah, I don't want to mix up the message. I just want to say there was a reason for doing that, and it is that Patreon takes an exorbitant cut. But, you know, whatever. You got the market. If you like Patreon, you want to stay on Patreon, stay on Patreon. But we're now offering some of the same things we offered over on Substack to get you to move over there.

And if you are a Substack person who's like, I don't like this bit, I don't like the, I don't like their delivery or whatever. We'll go back to Patreon, and you can get an annual there now. and you can get the VIP, the DZVIP, which is a higher dollar tier, but it will get you some, you know, some perks, including the quarterly business review, which we will be having next week, according to Blake. Is that next Tuesday or Wednesday? Are we aware? Next Tuesday.

Thursday. Tuesday. Tuesday. Okay. The 23rd. Those are a lot of fun, man. Okay. So we're going to be doing one next week and go to the.

those places if you want to join up with that. And it's like I said, if you're on substack and you hate it, we can jump over to Patreon now and you can still do the same bit. I'm on both with different podcasts. I just copy the RSS feed into my regular thing, so I don't

really use the app. Same. For either one. That is some business. Also business is the weekend check. And that will be brought to us by the aforementioned community mechanical. That is our HVAC company. Travis over there is great. Can't tell you how many people

I've heard from. Just like, hey man, everything you say about those guys is right, including Brandon Aubrey. Brandon Aubrey called them after his regular HVAC company came out and said, I can't repair your bit. This is going to cost you like $12,000 for a whole new system. And he thought, well, I should get another opinion on that. He called community mechanical. He got them to come out. They were like, yeah, this is a $100 part. They fixed it for them. They set them up with the preventative maintenance program so they can identify when there's a part going awry.

And Brandon Aubrey is now a customer for life with Community Mechanical. What more do you need to know? Split the uprights with Community Mechanical. CommunityDFW.com. You can call or text 469-667-7-290. Let us find out that you had HVAC issues and didn't at least give community a chance. HIV AC.

Sure. We can check. Oh, you know why? Okay, I'll tell you mine first. Why did I have HIV on the mind? Yeah, yeah, very interested. Because I just finished yesterday. The fantastic Charlie Sheen documentary.

Oh, wow. Yeah, I've seen it. Two-parter. Being teased. Um, it's What's it on? You know, I like the Billy Joel, uh, probably Netflix, could be HBO. I'm thinking Netflix.

Okay, looks like, looks like a Netflix joint. Like, I love the Billy Joel documentary, but then Billy Joel, like, because he really got in depth about how to make a song, how does, you know, where did I come up with the idea for this song and all that? And it was, I love that kind of stuff. This one, but. Billy Joel wasn't totally for, like, we didn't really hear, well, what happened with you and Christy Brinkley? It was kind of a hand wave at a lot of the stuff.

Well, you know, we got divorced. Why'd you have to keep buying new cars? Yeah, he's wrecking cars, and he was like, ah, you know, I never got a DUI. Well, they showed, like, wrecked car, like, his drinking was so out of control. But he never got into any of that, and that's fine, because I was interested in, you know, his career and everything. Charlie Sheen, though, his career is interwoven, like, he is the poster boy for, like, he's the new, Robert Downey, Jr. When I was growing up,

more it was Robert Downey Jr. Was always getting in these things. And now it transferred over to Charlie Sheen. But he gets into all of it. Now, he didn't go detail, but he even started how after he did the Tiger Blood stuff and had the Sheenius tour that I went to. And all that kind of things,

got kicked off two and a half men. Did kind of, just kind of brushed by. But, oh, yeah, he started having sex with dudes at that time. So I don't know if that's how the AIDS

Well, I remember I mean he was Found its way into him Found itself smart enough To go from that body To that Yeah I remember

He was dating an adult film star who I believe Was HIV positive I know he was Yeah, he was dating A couple famous Adult film stars But

Yeah, I'm looking at it here Brett Rossi was one of the film stars he was engaged to And she, okay, so she sued him Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's in there She was in there So she didn't know But she's in there, his ex-wives are in there Uh, it's very good

Very good, also Well, can I ask about the dude thing? How did he just... Like I said, barely brushed by it He said it. Oh yeah. He just said I was hooking up Well, he's, uh, the guy asking him questions,

it's like, yeah. Okay. So, uh, is this the time you started having sex with men? I bet that's a lot more common than you think. think for rich out of control people we can only hope to be there like where do you go to the island after that where when or is it i think it's a different thread it's a different thread yeah it's a different offshoot of the island is he blamed the crack sure which i understand is probably easy to do he says crack is great uh but he is the son of course of charlie she of martin who's a

well-known act hollywood actor and this means he kind of grew up in hollywood and, you know, was given a camera when he was a little kid and all that. His brother's famous, too, Mighty Ducks, Emilio Estevez. He lived in a neighborhood with Sean Penn. Sean Penn's all over this documentary. Yeah. Which means they were good friends with Chris Penn as well. So they have home movies from when these guys are like 10 years old.

Holy. That's awesome. With the four of them in it. That's insane. And that's so he grew up. up that way. He was writing scripts, plots since he was a little kid, you know, kind of failed out of heist. Maybe he got his GED. Anyway, the home movie part is really great. That's crazy. And then he's had a lot of different sobriety dates. Yeah, yeah, that's common. But one of them

that he thought was his final one, I thought was interesting because he said he knew it was different. It was opening his life up because it was game six, Bulls versus Jazz. Jordan hits a game-winning shot. And I thought, that's interesting because I got a buddy who has a very memorable sobriety date as well. Yeah. So an easy way to remember that. I didn't know if you had a similar feeling, although your sobriety date is actually the 12th. Yeah, there was some confusion.

Because weren't you drinking on the way to? They asked me and see. Does anyone show up without alcohol in their system when they, if alcohols are being. Not unless they are coming from a hospital. where they have been. Okay, because everybody's drinking on the way to rehab. Mine was so low relative, and it was early enough in the day that I was, I blew a point zero on the 11th by like 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

So I'm calling it the 11th because it's cooler, but you are right. Okay, you were drinking in the morning on the way? I had like two buzz balls on the way down there. I'll never forget that. Your final drinks were buzz balls. It's perfect, dude. Like, what was I going to do? Go get like a Glenn Livitz fifth for,

200 bucks like i was losing my life buzz ball made a lot of sense at that time and i see them they're the first thing you see in every gas station it's not red car they're legitimately there and i see it every day i'm like fuck somebody's buying those i want to see you walking in that gas station knowing like this is it this is your final meal i wish i would have felt i wish i would have had a go a gopro on you're looking around kista nice you know let me some buzz balls yeah and you know what i the other thing i did too is even dirtier i went and got Got a cup from the fountain drink and got ice. I was like, I'm classy, bro.

But yes, I actually think it would be cooler if I was like, you know, I saw Dirk hit the lefty layup and I decided that was it. That's a pretty cool story. Now it's less cool because he had seven more after that. Yeah, yeah. Okay, and then, yeah, a lot of TV this weekend. I'm still watching the Cowboys documentary. And then I just found out this morning Because yesterday is all football

And it was great A glorious day of football I love a cowboy early game too I don't know It's weird waiting all day for it And then doing it at night Everything seems so rushed As far as the show is concerned

But having it all done by 4 o'clock or whatever I thought fantastic And especially with early to bed Dan Yeah With the length of games These guys With the delay And with the

God, you sound old The longest overtime In NFL history Good Lord Hey You should be with me You're early morning guy I just enjoy the game

Anyway I enjoyed the game And then I just found out this morning The Emmys were last night Yeah I kind of wish I would have known that Might have watched some of it My wife was watching me Why?

I don't know I'm into Nate Bargotsie. He was the host, and I'm still into TV. She did inform me of a good bit that he had. What if Jennifer Anson won something for the morning show? I'm sure she did. I need to find out. Yeah, so my wife was watching it, and she did tell me, she was like, his monologue wasn't great,

but maybe we can review tomorrow, but he did have a bit where he said he was donating $100,000 to the Boys and Girls Club charities, and anybody who went over 45 seconds in their speech would immediately be deducting it from the huge screen. That's good. Great bit out of the game. So I don't really care what else's monologue was. That's a good tone setter. And I like the guy enough. So, yeah, I'll enjoy your review of it. That's about the extent of my involvement. Clayton? How was your weekend? Pretty chill. Pretty relaxed. We talked about the new Taco Bell menu. Yeah, big player in football commercials this weekend. I feel like a big shock that I'm the one who reported that to you last week. I knew about it.

Before you even said it, I didn't feel like reporting it because it's just... It's water's wet. This is the kid. He knew about this months and months ago. You're the old that found out about it yesterday. Well, I'm somewhere in the middle, and I loved that Dan broke that info. My wife and her friends got hammered Saturday night and enjoyed the full spread of the 90s menu. There were texts that said double-decker still hit.

hits at 4 a.m. After talking about it, though, I actually celebrated myself Friday with... A little rapy? The Crunch Rap. Nice. Black Bean Crunch Rap Supreme. Actually, how about two of them? Whoa.

Why not two? Is it Gaines season? We might get into... In my bulk? Four digits of calories on that. But you know what? It was Friday. That's right.

Hey, you know what? You do it. That's right. You live your best Dan. But the commercials are everywhere. And it's got some 41 behind it. So when you're watching this... I passed out sleeping until 11 a.m.

Do you just walk by him like, lazy? No, I was going to make that more of my weekend check tomorrow, but it is an interesting, it's awesome, dude. Like, it's so great. I stayed home Saturday night. She went to Grapefest with her friends. We went Friday night as a family, but Saturday night she went,

and she was useless all day someday, like completely useless. Anything I did, it was like I was Christ, like, handing her. Like, I went to get Accedron, and it was like I had created the wheel. Anything I did, she's like, oh, thank you so much. I'm watching the kids. Dang, I can't do anything. It was great.

Had a buddy come over that I hadn't, I saw him at our high school reunion a couple years ago, but he's like one of my lifelong best friends that I never talked to. Just don't need to. Like, in high school football, there were three wide receivers, and me and him were two of them. So we spent all of our time together. We lived together in college. Then he went to the Marine Corps for 10 years and deployed many, many times. And he lives in San Antonio now.

And he's, we just started texting again. And I'm like, are you coming up anytime soon? He's like, I'm driving to Oklahoma next Sunday. He's like, well, come by the house. Watch the game. Little did I know that I would even have to sell that to my wife because she would be out of commission all day. She didn't even know he was there. Nice.

We just got up and went to me, Dia, like three, clock in the afternoon the two of us didn't ask didn't have to ask anybody that's how hung over she was it was great but the highlight of my weekend did you just did you just hijack his i feel like he was going to say i knew about taco bell but no i thought he had more go ahead it feels like he had more go forth we have plenty of time he said i had a chill weekend i went to Taco Bell. Well, no, actually, I went to Taco Bell, tried the chili cheese burrito, said it needed Fritos. Then remembered, Taco Bueno is now our home for Fritos in Mexican food. How'd they get the rights? I don't know. But they got Frito chili cheese pie and a Frito

cheese burrito with their queso, arguably the best fast food queso. Tough to argue with. What Taco Bell has is not queso and they don't call it that yeah they call it cheese sauce but the frito's burrito at taco boino blows taco bell out of the water i'm glad i heard that you're going to co-sign that okay i'm sorry i was not aware that frito's switched to taco boino because you know frito lay i always had thought had an association with pepsi and pepsi is what you get at taco bell any yum brand right like KFC Pizza Hut So I thought they had Frito on lock Now they're like the busted version

Remember like when you'd get NBA Live 94 And they had every player's name Except Michael Jordan would say Shooting Guard number 23 They lost He wouldn't let the players association use his likeness Now if Taco Bell's just What are they putting in there?

Nothing. You're getting chili, rice and some other stuff But Taco Buino No, you're getting their chili sauce, which is really good. You're getting their queso, which is top-notch, and the Frito-Lade Fritos. Yeah, Dan. That's good to know. All right, now you're mad at me.

He was sitting there leaning in front of the mic, and I'm like, what else? Yeah, now you know that you can go to Buono and get Fritos. Okay, I'll never throw it to you again, Clayton. Jake's mad. I can't get mad Now if he had missed that kick yesterday I got to coach soccer on Saturday morning Oh yeah

Really had the full I don't know suburban I went to Grapefest Friday night And then I went to AA Saturday morning And then I went to coach soccer And it was like the most fun I've ever had in my life It rules So much fun

I was hyped dude i can't wait for next week so you're not wearing like a matching jersey though because they give them jerseys yeah but i did buy a uh see this league it's so spare that they just have home in a way you're green or you're purple we're not dealing with 12 different colors of uniforms here we got green you got purple okay so i did buy a green and a purple like shirt so you'll match yeah it's not the exact same but it's pretty close yeah um really just loved the effort. They're not keeping score, but I am, and we won.

And, uh, the real thing is you only care about how your kid does, really. Overall. Actually, no. That's not true because I'm the head coach. And to that end, I, I feel a little bit like I know what Shoddy or Mike McCarthy or Jason Garrett have gone through because as we're loading up before the game, my wife was like, I had, I told Nora if she scores a goal, we'll give her $10. And I was like, you did fucking what?

$10. I'm not, I don't care about the $10. Make it $100. The problem is we're not highlighting individual statistics here. That's antithetical to everything that I'm trying to preach from a culture standpoint. Right. You're just going to walk into the locker room. You're trying to tell her to pass if somebody else is there.

Yeah, and the defense matters. But now you've just. Right. You've changed your whole mindset. You're changing a goal here. pretty high. Like, what if she's good? Well, I think the number was set knowing that she's not. But she was fine enough. She did get one.

Okay. And she's asking about it afterward, and I'm like, all right, it's not, I'll give you, I'll pay you every game. I really don't care. Last season I was using iPad time. But I'll pay you if your feet are moving the whole time, relentless. It's not always about the stats. It's not always about the guy with the best stats. Right. It's the grit. the determination, the FU mentality. She had to be warned by a referee

on Saturday. I would have paid 10 bucks for that. Yeah, red cards. She was warned. They did the Hey, come on, same girl every time. Damn right it is. It was a lot of fun, though. None of the parents were mad at me. It was enjoyable. Now, I don't know how you could ever get mad enough

to yell at one of these refs. Because, and I'm sure I will, as they get older. dude this kid is deer in the headlights man he's intimidated he's like 16 or something yeah he's got his dumb trendy haircut that he thinks is gonna be it's cool in his school but now he's dealing with adults and he is freaking out yeah in the first half you're supposed to play it's either eight or ten break eight or ten half time same thing in the back half well i'm running a timer because i'm trying to see when i want to sub and i look down and i'm like dude we're playing for 15 straight I was like, do you have a plan here on when to stop?

He's like, I forgot. And he's like, now I'm going to make it halftime. So he freaked out and blew the whistle. He's like, halftime. And then another ref has to come over and be like, hey, the first half and the second half have to match. Okay. So now the second half can't be 20. He's like, you're going to have to get them back up to play five more if you want to play a 20-minute second half.

And I'm like, I'm down. And the ref was like, I don't want to do it. So we just got a 10 minutes. it shortened game. And he was just lost, dude. He had no idea what was going on. It might have been his first game. So you can't just go ahead and play another 20 minute.

Yes, you can. Of course you can. But the big dog, ref came over and was like, uh-uh. The girls are six years old. Like they're going to be like, hey, we didn't get that side of the field. The wind is blowing. Come on. I know.

What are we doing here? It's weird. We're in a league that doesn't keep score yet you're going to... I was like, I kind of just want them to be out here playing. Because the other game's not going to start earlier. I'm going to write a letter. You might need to. But overall, man, the experience is just...

I don't know. It's so nice. I feel like it made my kid respect me more. That's what it's all about. Yeah. And then we had our first sleepover, her sleepaway that night, which... Oh, she was gone. Yeah.

Okay. And that was a carrot for soccer. Actually, for me, it wasn't. I kind of didn't even think about it, and I told you what my wife did Saturday night, so I ain't like she was thinking about it. But what occurred to me when I went to pick her up the next morning was the parents didn't sleep, like at all really, because they're freaked out. They don't know these kids' sleeping patterns.

Like now there's three or four of them together. They're up all night. They were like, hey, I think the girls went to bed around 2.30. They were up around 5.30. Yeah, that's the point. Yeah, of course, and that's fine. but I was not as appreciative of them going into it as I should have been because now I know if I say yes to a sleepover at our house

that isn't just have the kids over normal I know to prepare now it's going to be brutal hell no and who knows what's going on I think my daughter had to sleep with one of the parents the mom I should have been clear about that the mom like on the couch you know so now I know It's not just a roll the ball out type thing. It was a great weekend. Met a bunch of listeners at Grapefest, including a guy named, I think, Denny.

And he introduced me to his wife. And he's like, his wife was like, yeah, we come down here every year. My dad, it's around his birthday. And I looked at the dad, and I was like, God, that guy looks familiar, but I don't know. And his wife was, sorry, Denny, very attractive. And I'm like, yeah, interesting. I feel like I know that guy. I walked off and I texted my buddy

Who that guy, Denny had said he was friends with And I was like, hey, I just run into one of y'all's buddies His wife and her dad And they were like, yeah, her dad is Steve Bouchel I was like, yeah He was just standing there smoking a cigar And she's like, my dad, we bring him down here for his birthday But now that I put it together, I was like, oh, that was Bouch

Enjoying a little grape fest Produced a very attractive daughter Sorry, dude That often happens to pro athletes. We had Friday off, which was nice. I think I told Dan it felt like a Saturday, and then we got another Saturday, which is how three-day weekends work, I get. Very novel insights on your part.

If we're discussing, like, how to do the schedule, three-day weekends are pretty... I know, just football, it doesn't work, man. Pretty sweet. Do you think we couldn't do Monday through Thursday? We're taking Friday off? Like, Friday's always kind of a fun part of. the week to do a show. Yeah.

I don't want to take Friday off. Yeah. I'm sorry, Blake. That's fine. I'm just rolling ball out there. You can't take Monday off, especially in the fall. Anyway. Suck it up, Buttercup.

I was not complaining. I just said it was nice with the half-act-to-back Saturdays, but yeah, I'm the great cloud. I became somebody this weekend because I was walking into Hobby Lobby and held the door open. Two very sweet ladies walked out. said thank you. The next bitch that did, did not.

Whoa. Yeah. And you wouldn't have known without the first two, but now they've set the bar at polite. So I just said, you're welcome. Yeah. Oh, no. No.

Not the passive aggressive. You're welcome. Next day, happen to me again. You're welcome. So I'm now... He is so morphing into it. Oh, the run has been established right there. My goodness.

You don't appreciate it. A man holding the door for you? Like, I hate it, but I would not do the year. I hate it when you let someone go in traffic, and they give you nothing. Not even like a little. Yeah. A little nod. Like, I then want to ram their vehicle.

But now, imagine if you could talk to that person and say, you're welcome. I felt great. I just want to give some kind of a tranquilizer dart into their leg, and they just topple. And I just move on. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I don't want to do any of this. Just hold the door.

Skin off your back. I got a kid's birthday party on Saturday. This was a new level because I knew no one there. A listener? A listener's friend. What? Your third party? So a listener invited you to his friend's kids' birthday party?

Yeah, I heard there was a kid's party going on. Why? Did he then meet you? No, he wasn't there. It was Nima, who lives in Chicago. But he said, hey, my buddy, Mace is having a birthday party. Mayce sent me the invite. But walking in, I knew no one. Okay, so it would help you kill time with your kid.

Oh, they had a pool. They had a big water slide. It was at someone's house? At Mace's house. That's way more insane, dude. Right, than at the Bounce House or something. It's not just five birthday parties going on at once. You're in someone's bathroom.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, my wife was very confused. Oh, you brought her? As we're walking up, she's like, are you sure? Like, you know any of these people? No, it's normally cool. I just follow my lead. Now, let me ask you this.

But here's the problem, though. Walking into a birthday party, the door is unlocked, you don't ring the doorbell, no one greets you, you just walk in. And so that is just Wild West. Like, walking in, okay, someone recognize me. If not, I just got to, like, blend in. But it's cool.

I mean, everyone was nice. Mace is cool. All Nema's friends were great. Brooks had a great time. Now, instead of cake, they did donuts, which I felt like was awesome. That is awesome. They brought in an ice cream truck. It was a great party.

Was this, like, was it ethnically concentrated Nima? Or was it like a family-ish type? There was another listener there, Ben, but we were the only white people there. Okay. Yeah. So you don't stand out at all. Not a lot of blended in. Not only are you not actually invited.

Right. Now, yes. The parents were confused. Why is this white, yeah. Any hot Persian moms there? Of course, they're all attractive. Yeah, they are. This is just a Disney version of wedding crashers.

It really, no, that's exactly what it is. Even Nema's attractive, if you think about it. If I had to go Charlie Steen. Oh, dude, all Persian dudes are, especially if you get a little bit of per-like, you, I thought you was like the most attractive Asian dude I'd ever seen. You Darvish, oh, yeah. Because he was like Japanese Persian. And it's like, oh, my God, how they set the sliders on that one?

You're right. No pun intended. But it is Wedding Crashers Disney Channel. That's 100% what it is. We need to make, like, a montage of him doing all, like, he's with every single mascot at every play. Chuck E. Cheese, the lizard at Kids Empire. Like, he's, we need a montage. So it doesn't bother me because I follow Brooks around and I, you know, I talk to who I know.

know, which is in, that's my circle. But now your wife's over there like, geez, do you believe that revolution? That was weird. My wife is sitting on the couch with all the other women, and they're like, oh, so how do you know anyone? I don't. My husband, and now she's got to take the brunt of the punishment. In an impossible explanation. Right.

Impossible. So I may just go on my own from now on. I was driving home. How's the baby? Great. he's huge um how's her vagina

same size i don't know yet don't know yet no um he's got really bad baby acne like real bad and the only thing that fixes it is breast milk because apparently it's like the cure all for i've heard that before

it's really good for their skin topical breast milk putting it on the skin not drinking it yeah yeah so like i think if i don't remember why but if you could take like a breast milk bath for the baby is good for them good for their skin anyway um obviously you freeze it and whatever but uh the easiest way to get she got that pump on it hasn't pumped yet oh okay yeah the easiest way to get breast milk on him is to squirt him with it no like right from the source why wouldn't it be to put in a little cup because he's right there

So he... You're having to aim a titty, though. Like, wouldn't you think that? It'd be better to put a cup over it and, like, turn the titty upside down like a cow. Sure, that's one way to do it, I would... This sounds more fun, but definitely less efficient. It's great to watch. Did you do the iPhone slow-mo it?

No, I haven't done that. Yeah, do that. Do that for his future. Like a boxer. Then you can put it in the future montage you make when he turns 18 or graduate from something. Yeah, you can do it every year. year when he's cleaning up his acne yeah yeah yeah i wonder if it does work for the teenager i'm dude i'm telling you i've heard this is like adults do this really skit yeah you can buy it

so it won't work with like the milk from the store i don't think so hmm doesn't have the nutrients so yeah he gets his milk and then a squirt for his skin and that's uh a few times a day um i'll skip I had to the game. I had to pick up Burline. First trip on the Uber line. Oh, that's right. Blake is the producer of the national radio broadcast for the Cowboys.

I doubt other teams have a national radio broadcast every week. If there might be, probably not. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I need to check on that. But yeah, we do both home and away games, but... And you have to pick up Steve Berline. They're like, hey, can't be able.

live on the other side of town can pick up Steve on the way to the game now it is kind of on the way but it is so what was that like what time well luckily luckily the GM rode with us so it wasn't just me and Steve the GM of Compass Media yeah dang he was in town for the first Cowboys so who gets the back seat the GM was in the back seat that's odd and he texted me like hey can I ride along I was like if you don't mind I mean my back seat seat is for my kids. Right. There's a little...

You might find a goldfish. Crackers, yeah. Media executive. You're welcome to have it. He's wearing a suit. Just stuffed into your back seat. Yeah. Yeah.

But me and the ride... It was just me and Steve on the ride back. But Steve and I got up to a great start because I texted him, what time do you want me to pick you up? And we don't go live until 1130. And I didn't... I don't know. I texted out the time I wanted to...

wanted to be there, but I kind of thought, Steve Burline probably does want to get there that early. And so I just asked, what time would you like me to pick you up? And his first text to me was, what time is kickoff? We're tracking, yeah. Well, Steve, it's a noon kick. We go on at 1130. And this was, this was two or three weeks ago. It was a couple days ago.

Oh. Okay. Well, that's good. Pick him up at nine. at the stadium by 9.30. Everything's good to go. I saw this sign on the way in. It was a guy, it was a husband and wife, carrying a sign together at 9.30 in the morning. It said, she's a Giants fan. I'm a Cowboys fan. We're divorced for four quarters. Love it. Absolutely love it. That lady wears a t-shirt that says, don't talk to me until I've had my third cup of coffee.

She has it on right now. At her job. And two stick figures with two cats. On the car? Probably. Yeah, oh yeah. That's so great, dude. I just, I don't think I love my wife. Not that much. Because if that's what it takes, it's, I just can't imagine.

And then getting to see the crowd erupt over Aubrey's field goals. It was awesome. Do you get a new jacket? That was the, I got that one for, I think, for 80 bucks. Spoiler on the clearance rack. Ted Embrickon. Rubbing off a little bit. Did a little picture of yourself?

Ted did. Ted did. Okay. Come on, Blake ain't doing that. I think I'm doing that? Just out there looking like a snack. Absolutely. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Then the company treated us to a dinner last night at Alburnais. Oh, wow. I've never been to Alburnays. Yeah. I did some damage. I think I was over 200 bucks on my own. So after your big, you know, you're getting fed by the cowboys and press box food,

They say, let's take the gang out to the steakhouse. That's the world you live in now. Jerry had chicken and waffles for the media, a little brunch before the game. Then, yeah, I had a nice little Wagyu steak. I had a good Sunday. Who was at dinner? Steve Berline and the GM and me and Ted had to bail, unfortunately. Probably had to go home to his family.

Yeah, Ted has a wife and kid, and so do you. Oh, yeah. No, but this all makes perfect sense, though, dude. The same weekend where he starts sporting his cool jacket. You and Burline and the GM. Eating free Wagyu beef with Steve Burline is the same weekend. He starts shitting on ladies at Hobby Lobby, who are 90 because they forgot in their demented state to say thank you, Mr. Blake Jones. She was in her 40s.

She had air pods in. She's deserved it. Oh, God. Now I'm back on your side. Big time. Yeah, it seemed like she was in a hurry to get to nothing. She deserved it. We are very, very close to him living a considerably better life.

than we do week to week it may have already happened yeah it's all right it's good to see it is you know your kids should always uh surpass you a hundred percent it's i'm proud i just hope he'll say you'll travel with us and go eat fish tacos that are big deal to us but so the first appetizer was oysters and when you guys ordered them it was like what is this i don't want this And then they set him down at Al Bernay's like, ah, wonderful. There, lemon. Yep, I'll take this. He was such a bitch about the oysters in California. I just does.

Whoever's around him, unless it's us, he acts like he really likes them. Bullshit, man. And does everything they have. All right, let's get into the Cowboy game. From the wonderful world of sports, radio sports, scoreboard. Oh, yeah, I like that. It is brought to us by Flooring Direct, DFW.

The From Fox Sports South West Somebody Somebody told me emailed us that they called flooring direct

They set up an in-home visit and it was awesome when Rick Renner walked in Yeah To show him Yeah

You might want to hide your wife But outside of that Yeah he's awesome And so I talked to Rick Renner this morning Okay Hell yeah

Because I was also taken by this information And I have booked him for our cowboy watching party. We've added the Packers game to our list. So two Sundays from now. Rick Renner will be high atop the den

or high atop my garage watching the Cowboys scheme Micah out of productivity because that's what you can do with Micah. You can easily scheme him out of game. That's what they did yesterday with Brian Burns and Gamon Tibido and, Admiral Carter, who were living in Dax pocket the entire game. So as you have concerned, certainly, about the Cowboys being able to mount a pass rush without Micah, especially after watching, like, Thursday night.

Oh, my God. Micah, like, wrecking the world. And then you see the Cowboys Pass Rush, pass rush, and you think, man, a lot of these guys were putting up some good numbers, you know, when you have Micah Parsons, the kind of player, Michael Parsons seems to be is, yes, he draws so much attention that all of a sudden Sam Williams can pop up and look, oh my gosh, look at him getting sacks here, left and right. That's why it's interesting. One of the thoughts I had right after the game, which was really fun, an awesome game, and the fact that they won, changes like everything, you know? Sure. It eliminates all the clouds that we're moving in. But it does make you wonder,

are we going to look at the history of the Cowboys defense and see one of the worst in the NFL for years, all of a sudden, what happened? Oh, my gosh. Now they're one of the best for a few years in a row, and now they're back to one of the word. Like that, what was different in that one little period? It may have been the presence of Micah Parsons. Yeah, I completely agree. And this is where a Luca comparison is actually apt, because you can have, Dorian Finney Smith and Reggie Bullock

on your team if you have Luca but when you don't those guys become super super average and that's why for Micah the highest non-paid quarterback he's not a quarterback there's a huge drop-off

in the importance between like the worst starting quarterback and the best pass rusher but he is the type of defensive player of which there are maybe four of in the league who makes everyone around him so much better. I mean, we can track this stuff now. The double team rate was the highest in the NFL by a lot. And he's not a big guy. So he was taking on the double teams that Aden

Hutchinson has taken on at a different weight and was fine. That's going to leave everyone else a lot more open to get to the quarterback. And it also allows you to play a lot more man coverage, which Dan Quinn was near the top of the league in the whole time he was here. I saw the updated statistic for this morning, and right now, I think out of 97 snaps, the Cowboys have played man on two of those snaps, which I probably don't have to tell you is blowing away the league lead in the percentage of time they're in zone coverage. I mean, it's 99%, 98.5%. That's what you have to do when you can't get to the quarterback with four.

the whole thing is a mess right now defensively and you know do you remember last year i think it was last year maybe when they said well we were just counting on those young guys up front to be better than we thought they'd be early brock hoffman cooper b b b tyler guyton really well that's the spot they're in on defense now it's nice that you drafted donovan as iraqu in the second round last year and Marshawn Neeland in the second round the year before that. But those guys haven't done Dick. And now they're the whole boat. Outside of

we're going to get Dante Fowler in here and see what Sam Williams can do in his third year. But I think you're definitely right. Micah's the type of defensive player that has impact so many different ways on your defense from the pass rush to the secondary and the type

of coverage as you can play. They have a problem on their hands. I want to talk about how excited I was after yesterday. Just the Aubrey thing is amazing. The fact that you can see the pickings and lamb thing coming together, I think they can win any game because they can throw the ball. But the problem

is, anybody can career against them through the air. Anybody. Wondell Robinson, who they hate up there and consider them a bust. Malik Neighbors, Russell Wilson. Neighbors is incredible, though.

He was last year. He is incredible, but there's a point in time where you thought, hey, I've got Trayvon Diggs. Oh, my gosh. I'm going to match him up against a top-flight corner. Now, Bland wasn't out there. Could they trade him to Green Bay now or just wait for a season? Yeah, I mean, he's going to Green Bay.

Yeah, and the problem is Duran Bland is going to come back. He's their inside slot corner, but he's way better outside than Diggs is, and he's way better outside than Kair Elam is. They're screwed right now on the back end. Dude, how easy was that? A buddy of mine texted me this morning. And this is a point I did not think about when I was watching the game. But his thought was, the Giants should have gone for two when they scored with 25 seconds left

and take Aubrey's leg out of the game. Because, and that's before you even get into the X's and O's part of it of, it feels like Russ could just pitch and catch to anybody he wanted all day at any time. Now, you're going to play a little tighter at the goal line, but if I'm New York in that spot, But I think I trust Russ to roll out and find somebody wide-ass open to make that a four-point game. And you might see teams start to do that against Dallas. Because they just know with Turpin and Aubrey, they got a good shot at getting three with 15 seconds left. Do you think the Cowboys should have gone for it when they punted the last time in, they didn't really think they were going to get a long, easy interception like that?

I'm trying to remember where exactly the... You're talking about an overtime? Yeah, yeah. The last punt that they had. Three overtime possessions. Incredible. It's never... It doesn't happen.

But... No, I was a Bivalent on that. We did get to see the new rules, though, in play. Just where you defer in overtime. Yeah, because it's not, yeah. Which we talked about a little bit this off-season. I didn't have a huge problem with it, but I also am saying that with the hindsight of watching Rusto a yolo ball two plays later that I still don't understand.

But if teams don't do that and don't get greedy and don't get over their skis, put together a highlight tape when you play Dallas. Because I don't see anybody that they're going to be able to just stop through the air. I don't even know if Diggs wants to be out there. I mean, the Green Bay thing is a joke, but I don't think he's not thinking. I don't actually think it's a joke that you're going to send him there now, but I think you're going to release him this offseason. And here's another thing.

18 months ago, you thought that guy was awesome. Well, right now, you're like, I hope Duran Blan is still awesome, but I think you've got opposite the field plenty of evidence. That goes quickly for those guys. Dron Blan missed the first 10 games of last year. He's hurt now. He's a good story. But I made the point in my article this morning.

It kind of feels like when the Mavericks used to have to wait on Maxie Kleber to get back, because that's the only way they would have a defense. And it's like, dude, it's Maxi Kleber. You know what helps cornerbacks be more awesome? Pass rush probably a great pass rush. So when was Trayvon Diggs the most awesome who was up there? And bland? Yeah.

so that's right nobody when uh Tampa Bay surprised Kansas City in the Super Bowl a few years ago it wasn't the cornerbacks that were credited with a puzzling Patrick Mahomes yep it's if you can get to that quarterback real quick even if it's Patrick Mahomes that's going to throw everything off and that's why guys like Micah get these huge, huge contracts that you can sign four other players in theory with. I feel like the Cowboys are still trying to throw you off the scent. They're not really signing four other players to replace Micah, but they're going to damn well make sure every guy, here's Tyler Smith, the latest one this weekend. He's the highest paid guard in the NFL right now.

So, look, see? Why do you care about Micah? Didn't they just do that? Oh, they did it with Daron Bland. DeRon Bland. While injured. I might have waited a little bit on Duran Blan, but who knows? If they had a half a brain,

Aubrey would be the highest paid kicker in NFL history today. He's free out in a year. You probably aren't moving on from him after this year unless he just has one of those breakdowns at the end of the year. So if you know he's coming back, just do it now and get another PR win. I also want you to look out for, the slow drip he didn't do it last night

but I imagine throughout the year Jerry will remind you we got a couple first round picks here not one but two that's not what he's going to say he's going to say four in the next two years

there you go so you know that that's going to be in addition to signing players that we're already going to be here or Jadavian Clowny so would that be the 31st pick in the first round or the 32nd And it's looking right now, like it's, like it's going to be in the 30s.

29 or 30s. You want to talk about the lead story is Brandon Aubrey? Sure. Yeah, I mean. Like it just feels like it's weird. We've known, he's been the all-pro kicker for the last two years. He's been the best kicker in the NFL, and we know about the distance and how money he is. And it's kind of weird.

It's almost like now everybody knows. Um, well, yesterday was like his first, I don't want to say his first clutch kick, but those two, a force overtime and a game winner in the same game. Has he ever had? He has never had a game winner. A walkoff or a forced overtime. Hold on. Let me find. I did this last night and I thought I'd bring it up to him, but maybe I won't even because it'd be weird. Where is my Brandon Aubrey? I mean, I got a bunch of weird stuff to bring up to him. I mean, I got a million tweets And emails from people who want us to read stuff to them Okay, in his rookie year, they were 12 and 5, 20, 23. Of those 12 wins, only two were by three or less. At the Chargers.

That was a great Micah game. In theory, he had a game-winning field goal, but it was with 219 left. The game ended 20 to 17. Brandon Aubrey hit a field goal with two minutes and 19 seconds left, but that's not a game-winning field goal. then against Detroit that year if you remember that's the game

Christmas Eve he actually did New Year's Eve right he gave Dallas the final lead they led 20 to 13 Detroit scores a touchdown and goes for two and fails

remember that oh yeah even after the penalty so a little walkie that's not a game winning field goal either not the pressure of hey if you make this they win it Now, had he missed it yesterday, they still don't lose the game, but they do tie.

But overtime, though. What do you mean? Well, if he... No, if he misses the overtime kick, the final kick, they just tie. Yeah, but I'm saying to force overtime, though, the game is over if he doesn't make that 64-yarder in regulation. So I'm just saying that's the money, money, money one. To go too shy of the record. And to make it look, it did not.

look that difficult. No. I mean, they always say good from whatever it is. Clearly, I think 70 would be in play. Last year, they were 7 and 10. They held only two wins by three or less. At Pittsburgh

with the weather delay. And then versus Tampa Bay where pretty much he won that game. That was a night game as well. Did we do it? Did we not do a Baker game? He had four field goals in that

game 49, 53, 58, 58. And I think what's going to happen now, because now there's like Mike Sando wrote about this morning, the new ball, and look at all the long field goals. And there have been a lot of long field goals this year, more than ever before through two weeks. Guys are hitting 50-yarders now. What we have to remember is Brandon started this bit. He's been hitting 50-yarders.

It doesn't matter what ball, even 60s. but 49, 53, 58, 58 in one game. Like it was nothing. That was Brandon Aubrey last year. Yeah. He should be considered like the guy who pushed this further. You know, you have guys like with velocity and baseball or whatever. You're like, oh, that's, that was like the, he's the guy.

I tell you this, I don't know what the high school kids are kicking with. But a high schooler made a 64-yard field goal in Texas over the weekend. Damn. What I'm saying is I just feel like they're getting, The athletes are getting better. I was talking to my wife about this last night. She's like, oh, it's pretty cool. You guys have him on his show.

Is he, like, he's good. I was like, he's the best kicker of all time right now. Because everybody who's the best kicker in the league going forward will be the best kicker of all time. Like, their skills are just getting insane. They're the level of training, the mental side of it. It's a thing to behold. I know we've talked to him about this before, but it's basically the only part of football

where I, like, I'm really interested how far it could go. Because the, like... Well, the distance thing is what's crazy. Yeah. Because he's... I mean, is there a situation where the best kicker in the league can hit from 70, 10 years from now? I feel like we have one right here. And so if there's one...

The thing is you're not going to just try a 70? Yeah, yeah. There's a lot of other factors involved. Because that gives them the ball there already. And it is fun now, and I don't know if our listeners think like this, but you know I had a guy yesterday sent me a gay not gay and it was like gay not gay screaming at my watch party for them to try a 67 yard field goal oh I'm doing math as their yeah it's every time I was doing that and overtime yeah let's do that okay stop him right there stop him at the 4 but you don't want to just give the ball back and so right if you think about but it's going to have to be an end of a half end of the game yeah and we got we got a good shot at that but I think that the fact that they have turpin helps because they do they

just don't need, I mean how Tolbert would return the one in overtime, but they only need like two plays to get in field goal range. Yeah. And with a good quarterback and two good receivers, that doesn't change the math quite the way that the tush push does, but it's in the neighborhood. Because same shit as the first week, dude. Watch the Eagles yesterday. There's nothing you can do if they get to third and short. And they're obviously not calling the false starts, as Chris Jones was yelling about. Dallas, it's not the same, but it is somewhat similar that they're down three is two plays. Are these new kickoff rules going to really increase scoring too? I mean, I guess that's the NFL. Everything they do is to increase scoring. I think it's sissy football and I'm just

glad college will never change. You haven't seen the tweet. No. Oh, he's, who? Big man is big mad about the kickoffs. He's like, this is fucking sissy shit. Trump? Oh, yeah. Oh. He wrote a very long post about the kickoffs. About the new kickoff? I mean, it does get more returns. Yeah, it gets more returns and more returns without, like, the biggest of collisions.

I know Blake hates it. I like it. I think it's, and I hear Brandon talk about it, and I like it more. Because there is a strategy involved in that part of the game now that before it was just like, oh this guy's got leg day all day he'll kick it out of the back of the end zone and we'll go to commercial that's so boring

which he led the league in touchbacks his rookie year I think because because of his length he could just exactly and now though he's having and other kickers to figure out like I'm going to try to put it on the goal line one foot in one foot out

I think the kickoff is more exciting now and without having to have like CTE basically just the name of the game in special teams. Well. How can they make such a big and squeaky change so quickly and easily? How can they get less? At least it's as dangerous as the normal kickoff and it looks like

heel. I think that's supposed to be hell. Oh, you're reading the tweet. Okay. There you go. How come there's still like penalties on every kickoff? I don't know, but I'm here to make... Even the one there wasn't on the return. It was like the formation was wrong. I'm here to make a proclamation about... kickoffs and special teams in general it would have really screwed dallas yesterday but if you

have a white returner you are allowed one hold okay especially if that white guy looks like the white guy yesterday and has like a eastern european name that guy one hold right because i got up off my couch and started jumping when that guy broke that i was like oh sit down not good We had a big weekend, man. I don't know if you guys saw Isaac Tuslaw, the Lions Receiver, but the exciting whites are... Is Scataboo exciting? Hell yeah.

Dude. Did you actually draft a white... I feel like Hunter Lipke could do it. Did you do a White Fantasy team or...? I got pretty close. Yeah, in a Yahoo League. I got pretty close. And I did get to Slahaw.

I did not get Scataboo. I also don't care about it, but he's awesome. I love watching him play. I loved watching him play in college. I was not surprised that he had condolences for Charlie Kirk and the NFL fans for like, what? Oh, did he really? Of course.

Okay, let's continue with this game, but I want to plug Qualis Roofing, one of our originals. That might have been our original... 690. First ever, yeah, sit-in. out at a remote. That's where I got the mushroom sandwich a couple years ago. It's also where we got a framed Brandon Aubrey jersey?

No? He just gave us that. Brandon Aubrey gave us that. They gave us a framed Qualis jersey signed by all the guys at Qualis. They were both at the Dubzone. It's a genius way to market themselves. They're like, hey, we gave you a framed jersey to hang in your studio. With Eric and Rachel and Brian.

Yeah, but they're smart because they did invent the let's give out. 690 sit-in. So yeah, we'll charge 690 for a sit-in. And they said, you know what? We'll pay you for our customers sit-in if they get a new roof. And at the very least, just call for a free roof inspection. And then they will give you a dumb zone t-shirt. 817-500-908 or QualisGC.com. They're fantastic. They have replaced my roof. They've replaced Blake's roof. They will deal with the insurance company for you. Again, they're awesome. I don't say this lightly.

When I started out into this business world, I think I was kind of anti-business. And then I met people like the guys at Qualis. And I met Brian. I'm like, oh, they're helping people with business. I've not heard a single person say they had a bad experience with Qualis. Quite the opposite. They go above and beyond.

And if you don't want to have the exhilarating experience, that Dan Sawyer is today, you can get a Trigger grill instead of the sit-in. So check them out at QualusGC.com. So we were predicting a big George Pickens

Target Day, and that's what we got. I thought early they were really forcing it to George Pickens. Yeah, and it was or throughout the game, actually. A little bit interesting

because Greg Olson's point was he would have gone right to CD and gotten last week out of there. and that is not what they did at all. I don't know that they went to him. They didn't go to him on the, on.

No, it took a while. Yeah. But George Pickens is a great number two receiver. If you can get a George Pickens for your number two. I think it's the way it has to be in the NFL. Yeah. I think it has to be that way. It's the new way.

And, you know, maybe if your tight end is a, is a superhuman threat, maybe. But it's got, and it's, again, It doesn't, it's not a knock on CD, you know? It's just this works, this is the way it works now. Would you? It's more important than you're running back, right? So, and I thought, you know, that Greg Olson, again, did a great job yesterday highlighting what I had been saying on the show for a while, which is not revelatory, but it's just that Pickens is a get off the line, get vertical receiver.

I don't know that he's a great route runner. I haven't watched him close enough, but I doubt it. But CD is. And if you're just clearing people out of the middle of the field or the intermediate zone, I just think CD's going to be unstoppable. Now, he has to do his part. But they work together very well, I guess. I don't know how many times I wrote down another Pickens end zone force ball when double covered.

But it feels like they're trying to force it to George Pickens in the end zone. Speaking of CD, can you describe his new celebration? you see it early I did not there's a second quarter because Dak got sacked the first play of the second quarter so later

next possession I guess it was CD caught a long pass turned around celebration was something like I thought he was holding a cup of ramen noodles and kind of stirred it up a little bit did you see it nobody else saw this

okay he caught it and showed his first down, then did this kind of thing. All right, but I never saw it again later in the game. All right, well, I'm going to have to... At least we got that nasty sniffing out of the league. Dude, I wanted Aubrey to hit it so bad. Oh, absolutely.

Well, he didn't... You know what he could have done? Malik Neighbors did the Steph Night Night Night. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You can't do the Steph Night Night and then lose the game. Yeah, it's brutal. That's...

I forgot about that. What are we doing here? here you've got to reserve that for the game is over and certainly can you imagine right now if that's how that game ended and they lost what are we doing today i was imagining it quite vividly what are they what are we doing today because i think it feels like the vibes are good i heard sod say this i was thinking it right after the game too sod yusuf on the uh one star cowboys podcast it's a good listen very good was this is it felt felt the opposite of last week where you leave the game, but you feel really good.

We lost, but man, I feel great. You just went toe to toe with the Super Bowl champs in their house. Now you won, but you're like, yeah, but that was the Giants. You were supposed to destroy that team. And you had to bear, like, you needed so much. Let's name all the things. 50 penalties. Okay, that's true, but don't draft players that don't know how to commit penalties then.

and don't end up in a situation. Because nobody was crying for us when Chas Green was out there getting seven sacks from Adrian Claiborne or whatever that dude's name was. That's the brakes, dude. You got to play a backup tackle. Deal with it. Your team sucks. Not our problem.

Your team sucks, but... Our team? Committed a lot fewer penalties. Barely be either, yes. And committed almost none in week one. A lot fewer penalties and barely won. No. So I'm just saying that's where the negative fee, the, oh my gosh, I think there's a lot of

A lot of problems here And the way they ended up losing in overtime If he doesn't throw that pick You think they're getting off the field No chance No chance They would have scored when Dallas punted Probably would yeah probably would

I mean and I'm saying that I still would have punted the ball Just because you know it's your own 38 They only need a field goal But I did not feel like that was going to end In Dallas getting the ball back Yeah So and it's not like they had to work for it

He was barely under pressure. Donovan Wilson was just standing there. They got gifted the game in that regard. But from a positive standpoint, I do think just seeing Pickens and Lamb work together give you some hope that you're going to be able to at least keep these games interesting and exciting. Because, again, I have major concerns

that they're going to be able to stop anybody through the air. Good news right now they're like 17th or 18th against the run. in efficiency but the problem is when they were bad against the run they were awesome against the pass and they were forcing turnovers left and right

on passing attempts now they're awful 30th through two weeks against the pass and I don't even know if they're decent against the run it's just nobody's really had to do it just throw

you want to see what Caleb Williams people will be back in on Caleb Williams after Sunday. Even if they lose, he's going to put up 420. Okay, let's guess that line. Well, where is it, Blake? Isn't it there? By the line?

You should know this? The game's in Chicago. Yes. Okay, you meant those you thought I asked the line. Okay, I was like, come on, bud. So guess the line? And they got, you know, Molly wapped yesterday. Probably Dallas by like one and a half.

would say Dallas by three on the road that's why I went one and a half I'm a fan I shouldn't get Mollywop that's a word I haven't heard in a while like or ever have you said that before has that come up on the show where you've been have I said that on the show that I think so I think it's a Texas thing Chicago is that mean you're beating Molly Wob down there uh yeah like the dude in Oklahoma that got fired for hey he's out of his cotton pick in mind and it's like I think we say some things that we don't really ever think of the origin plenty so you just you want to slap molly around you go right ahead but i'm uh i'm not for that bears minus one and a half oh wait you went the other way

cowboys minus one i said cowboys minus one yeah i mean if if we want to go down this road we can but you don't want this team as an underdog son you don't want a shoddy team getting counted out see i wonder because i know shoddy is the fun loving guy listen to shoddy this morning he's uh you know his press conference from yesterday he's i just remember the it feels like the coaches with the big success your parcels your belichick they're they're tougher on you when you win Sabin and they're gentler when you lose

and I feel like that's an easy game to go ahead and be tough on the team but it was Shottie's first win as a coach the way you know

the emotions of yesterday's game you can't take away there was some resiliency to it oh yeah even if they put themselves in that situation they fought I want to play the

the post-game thing here, Clayton. The Shottie... Well, let's see. Did I actually... Yeah, the game ball one. Because this is great. Jerry's in the locker room. I don't really know the bit that they're doing. I think it might be wrestling-related.

But we don't really have, like, a wrestling... Is Clayton full-time wrestling guy, or no? You're not wrestling guy. Like, you're still in it? Yes. Okay, well, if you recognize what Shottie's doing here, let us know. Yeah

There you go First game ball First win Hell of approach We're just like to cry You can pause He said Thank you

Thank you Hey Here's what we do Hey we celebrate We win Turp and Dak In a touchdown Yeah

Javavada in a touchdown Yeah Mile stairs in a touchdown Yeah! Who, picking dag out touchdown! Yeah! Wait for interception. Double had a day.

Yeah! Hey, we ain't done. Who had a sack? James Houston had a sign. Yeah. Kenny Clark had a side. Yeah. Hey, and this son of a guy, man, this field goal kicker, I'll tell you.

Oh, is Aubrey. Jerry shaking his head. Fifty-one-yard field goal. Yeah. 44-yard field goal. Yeah. Boy, Yelp-O. Wait.

In overtime, with the walk-off. Come on. 46. Yes. Here we go. I'm not about to hand you this ball, though. This is my game ball. Who called it?

Did you say something about Shottie getting the game ball if they won? Yeah, that was, but I mean, that's an obvious way. It was going to be Dak giving it to him. I just know how much this means. They're made. And Aubrey hit a 75-yard field goal to win the game. Does he get it then? Not a chance. Not a chance. He's on his own goal line.

Perhaps if he also scored a touchdown, maybe, but no. Shottie had been thinking about that day for a long time. Ty Walker tells us that it's from a guy named L.A. Knight. L.A. Night is what I saw on Twitter last night. People saying that. What is that the yeah, yeah? Yeah. To me, those are shoes that lit up. But I have been out of. out of the game for a long time when will the next chance he gets to do that

what to what they probably lose on the road to the packers you guys are out of your mind did you watch the bears yesterday maybe at the jets boy the bears got mollywopped yeah that's what I'm saying

so we're no you're not I know that they're going to score a lot of points but if Detroit put up 52 Dallas can put up 35 Detroit was coming home after a night of drinking and and

so Molly the bears were like where have you been and you know you don't go to you should know when Detroit's been drinking just kind of lay off you've been around here for a while Detroit

come on Molly I don't want a victim blame or anything but by the way after the game was over waiting on Uber's because it's crazy so about a half hour after the game's over I walked down to the pro shop. I'm going to get an Aubrey jersey.

I'm going to wear it on the show. It's going to be awesome. Out. Hell, yeah. They had like four three Xs left. That was it. I love it. Do people just on their way out of the stadium?

Like, I got to get one of these right now. There's probably a lot of people like Dan who are like, I'm going to have an Aubrey work tomorrow. Suck it. Sean Kernan, our financial guy, said his mom stopped at the Cowboys Pro Shop, got a Micah for over 50% off. So that she can go to the grocery store and get... Genius. He's like, this is a financial advice for you. Yeah.

You can use this. Get a Micah jersey and you can get your groceries at however many percent off. I forgot to mention this in my extremely generic suburban weekend wrap-up of A.A. and youth soccer. I also popped that pickings on to get 10% yesterday morning at 7.30 in the morning. And it was funny because, like, the only other ones in there were, like, Romos. and it was a guy a couple guys came by this is the opposite of blake small talk his is uh potentially bad small talk of uh you're welcome mine is the guy was like uh some guy walked by while we were at the meat counter there's two of us in a jersey and he's like giants

maybe you actually got a chance pulling that one out today and i go only thing i know is guaranteed is this 10% off brother he's like amen in the other the guy in the roma jersey he goes heard that. I forgot to tell y'allel, I forgot to tell y'all, Steve Berline, whenever he was walking around, people recognize him from the Netflix and, you know, just who he is. He's Steve Berline. You need to understand that. He was a big deal.

All right. He would tell people, happy New Year. We got a, is Berline a weirdo? We got a weirdo in our mix. I love it. Because it was his first game and he saw Christy scales. Christy, happy new year. The new cowboy.

That's the, that's the new year to him. Yeah. football when we spring hope he knew when he saw yeah the GM walked in hey happy new year and it killed every time every time oh Steve man that's great I want to talk about all these penalties and stuff oh but speaking of Brandon Aubrey and and Brian anger let's uh just give Lucy a plug because we found out that hey I got to log in the special teams unit um now that they know Blake works. Like one?

Okay. Sure. Now that they know Blake works for the Cowboys Radio or the whatever media, Cowboys National Network, they're always asking him to just bring some Lucy to the game. So he will see them down on the field before the game and then hand him a nice sleeve of Lucy. You don't know that two-thirds of that specialist unit on that 64-yard field goal were not lipped up with a Lucy. You don't know that that didn't happen.

I thought he said, winning. Do you remember Charlie Sheen? That was his whole bit? Yeah, we're aware. Winning. Definitely, dude. Yeah, my one. Come on, man.

Get off my ass. Okay. Winning. This goes for the entire NFL. You're about to put them on notice? I might write a letter. But I am. I think we passed a little,

we passed another line. And I laugh at the old's. Put a skirt on and put a skirt on them. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah. And I now want them to put a skirt on him. What are we doing with this roughing the passer thing? The DAC one.

The DAC with 930 left and the fourth. That's the one, that's the Romo roughing the passer call. we got a couple penalties in the NFL that were created because of cowboy games you see the you're thinking Bryce Young well Bryce Young yesterday no no no I'm saying there's a couple penalties now that are called because of Cowboys of the past and I'm saying the Bryce Young one yesterday it was a Romo well hold on though one is the horse collar Roy Williams because Roy Williams invented that and then started breaking

legs doing it and so they stopped it but the other one was Romo getting his arm broken. I did not see Bryce Young. Don't forget Emmett, by the way. What was the Emmett one? Take your helmet off. You can't take your helmet off? That's because of Emmett Smith. Why? Because Emmett Smith would take his helmet off every time he scored a touchdown, the league didn't

like it. Why? Because why did he do it? Because he wanted his face to be... He was always thinking of marketing as he was... That's why. Yeah. I may have this wrong, but it was told to me my whole life that that was the Emmett Smith rule. Okay, because he saved every football. Like he never would

throw a ball in the stands or spike it. He would hold on to it. And like, I believe he owns every football that he ever scored with. I think that's right. But, okay, I didn't see Bryce Young. Did he break his arm? No, I didn't break his arm, but it was just one of those... But it's the landing on a quarterback... And they're like... And whoever was calling that game, and it was pivotal too, dude.

Whoever was calling that game was like, I guess you got to land on your hands to brace your weight. That's the only way. As you're holding this quarterback because if you don't hold this quarterback, he's going to slip away from you. Yeah. And we've... It sucks. The one with Dak, though,

and Dak cried like a little bitch when he right away. Like, he threw him down. He actually did throw, they did a replay and they threw it on, you know, it was kind of on the side. Didn't Pereira even jumped in and said, eh, that one I probably wouldn't be calling. But Dak, right away.

He hit me. I was tackled. I was tackled in a football game. Every quarterback does it. You haters. But you're right. I can't remember the other game. I saw a couple games where the exact same, like, I tried to fall down and kind of land on the side of each person.

And that got called as well. I have no. They don't know. I don't know. The guys are too big. They're tackling guys who are too small. and they're going to get hurt if they fall on them. There's really not much you can do about it.

The drive into the ground thing is weird. I mean, I even think it's like the helmet thing, the helmet to helmet thing. A lot of those don't feel intentional to me. Right. It's just I'm 6-3, 6-4, and you're 6-1. Yeah. And when I come in at this angle, it's very hard to play the game. It's very hard to officiate the game.

You just kind of have to say there's going to be a general, push, right? and everybody's going to, because I didn't, that Russell Wilson in the grasp call earlier in the game, that should have been a grounding. He was still fighting for yardage. Absolutely, yeah. But that's a, we're going to protect the quarterback here.

I don't know. And whistle it. Okay. I can just jump around with notes from the game. I thought the Fox, did you guys notice, is the Fox scorebug less busy now? Yeah. This year. Did they promote that?

No, but it's... Didn't it used to have, like, all the fantasy... Like, I didn't see fantasy. I didn't see score updates. I didn't know what was going on. Am I covering, like, in my one game, my Monopoly game, I had Atlanta. So I'm pissed about that.

They wrote this out for the Super Bowl. Who did I have? Jacksonville, so I'm pissed about the Travis Hunter. I had a triple player in Cincinnati, though. Oh, you did? Yeah. Okay. Well, congrats to you.

With my logic of the Bengals can't keep sucking this bad in the first couple weeks of the season and somehow they did and won. Burroughs out, man. Dude. He might be out for a while. I thought it was funny. Jackson Dart.

So he finds he gets in a game and it was really weird but obviously they're setting up the third play. So he gets in the game and he does the whatever read option, right? What is that? Yeah, just the zone read. I'm going to read option.

The fake handoff. You're reading the end. and he fakes running then he did it again he got in the game later the handoff but he fakes so now this is why we're setting that up

table's an idiot but he so he does it again but he keeps it and he falls down it's just it's so giant's a super weird I hate when teams do this

and I think it goes to the we don't know what we're doing he's not effing Cordell Stewart like what are we doing he's not a change of pace In fact, you know, maybe he has a little bit better wheels than Russ at this point, but Russ was able to run it better than Dak can yesterday.

For sure. So he's not a- Dak is the definition of lumbering. Oh my God. It hurts me to watch him run. Yeah. And I feel like it hurts him too, which is why when he picks up a first down like that, he's like, I'm selling this for all it is from my bottom.

But Jackson Darts not like Tim Tebow. You know, there's no change of pace. He's their future starting quarterback. So just at a pure level from, like, play to play, do you think he's going to have a better chance at success at this play than Russell Wilson? Regardless of what the outcome of it is, handing it off to Cam Scadabo. I don't like, I don't know what, why I put him in the game at all? Are those valuable reps for him?

Right, no, it didn't make any sense. The timing didn't make any sense when he would do it. It literally just feels like they know everybody wants to see him play, and they're like, got to get five of these in here's the times where we think the leverage is low enough um you know because it was second and one when they ran that play that he fell down on it makes no sense right and well yeah they would only bring him in on a second and one or something that seemingly low leverage yeah you know any you're probably going to get this let's just try this guy in there uh i did think they got some balls when what was this 244 left in the game

that's where they had that 42-yard touchdown pass on fourth and four fourth and four yeah that's uh I don't know Russ does love to throw it long he's very good at it he's very good at it until the very very last one

because he did it again of course with 25 seconds left in the fourth uh so that was that was fun uh day bowl bought himself a little time I think the odds have to be on Mike McDaniel as first coach fired I think he's betting on that

like his press conference seemed like it oh did you see him after the game I'm worried about him as a fan as a fan and a fellow substance struggler but I thought he looks like he's going through it

I thought early in the game it was a Brian Callahan moment you played us the Brian Callahan audio from last week where he was yelling at a reporter that the forearm down is not mean you're in bounds. You got to have two feet and you've got to sign a waiver.

All this stuff. But Dayball trying to challenge the in-the-grassp call. I thought that was odd. Like it's called in the grasp and then the play ends right there. That's the whole point. I don't think that the average NFL coach understands what is and isn't challengeable to a

to a fine tea. I would say the same for the NBA because I've seen Jason Kidd do it. He's Jason Kidd. But so I think there are... Of course he didn't know what's going. There's definitely guys in the booth who know what's happening

more than guys on the field. Like, no, you can't challenge that. We met with the refs last week. You should have too. That's a bad look. I'm glad Shottie hasn't had one of those yet because he will and it will be very loud and it'll probably cost him a game.

It's going to suck. Super bad. that left tackle bit was insane what do you do he's already the backup it was awesome watching jamis during that sequence go on he was just pacing the sideline he was running like almost halfway out to the numbers like yelling at this guy and not in a bad way in a very jamis way so he jumps off sides twice he got the personal foul call at the end of a 51 yard pass or after a 51 yard pass that was I guess there's a world where you could say that's tiki-tacky, because 20 years ago you could kind of just lay on a guy and F with him.

But you're not doing that now. The ref was also right there, and he's just on top of a guy like pushing him into the ground. Yeah, he was getting pushed too, and the ref did call the second guy, but still. Yeah. It doesn't help that people know that you're already all pissed off because you're getting flagged and huffing and puffing about it.

Okay, this brings me to some game audio. like while watching the game. So we have Joe something. Davis. We got our guy, Greg, third leg, Greg. Gio. And then Pam Oliver,

who we affectionately know as Pilled Up Pam on the sideline. And I'm not going to be clear we're not putting her on the air. No, no, no, no, no. And I'm not going to do the Dick Clark. I'm not going to play you every Pam Oliver report. but I could I just want you to know what a good person I am here

but she has a very confusing report on that left tackle once he was benched because apparently there's sideline chaos and you're saying you're watching it from the booth and that's looked very exciting to you so I need I'm just learning that there's even chaos I have no idea all I know is the viewer is he's had a couple penalties and he got yanked from the game

okay so here let me take you to broadcast, and after we listen to this, I want you to tell me if you know more than I just told you. And new left tackle. Same result with a penalty. Offutt number 82. Five-yard penalty. This time it's Daniel Bellinger, down to Pam Oliver.

Well, so very few people could calm down James Hudson after the replacement left tackle's display, that penalty-filled display. It was teammates and coaches went over to him, patted him on the shoulder. pants. They seem to deliver encouraging words. Hudson kept a towel over his head. Now he grabbed his helmet. I just thought Brian Daigle revisit

with Hudson yet again. What did we learn there? Yeah. Like they showed some video of him like shoving and talking and then James was in his ear like you said. But I didn't really get a, hey, how about when he came off the field

after being yanked? He started doing this and this and this. like how about a what she's acting like we were with her like do you ever your kid might do that or uh my wife will do that just talk to me like i know who she's talking about at work like uh you know like i wasn't with you the past 10 minutes pam well let's bring us in but yeah she also added the very vital piece of information of i'm assuming it was positive reinforcement or positive encouragement i mean she wasn't there right So she's going to have to kind of, it looked positive.

I don't know. Your guess is as good as my. There was a few instances of buffering Greg. I just grabbed one little one because I know you love it. We've now seen him sniff out and blow up two screens here in the third court. A teammate of yours in Carolina when he broke him. Great talented, great kid. The sky is the limit.

I think he's going to continue to excel here at the NFL. The cadence punctuator in there is great. He's one of the voices in Madden this year, and he does it in that, too. Wow. In the video game. He buffers? Yeah. That's great.

It drives me nuts. And, okay, so I got a couple of CD-LAM-based cuts here. This one is Joe is talking about CD. You figure you're going to get a very motivated version of C.D. Lamb this week. Do you have told the Cowboys the game's going to come down to the ability of C.D. Lamb to catch the ball? You would have said we win. But Lamb had those two drops so uncharacteristic. And he told Brian Schoenheimer, all it did, bro, was wake up a monster.

They got back at 4 a.m. Friday morning. By lunchtime, he was out by himself, catching passes off the judge's machine. So you could focus on the Okay, he went to catch passes from the Juggs machine I don't know that that's I don't know Performative But I think Jake wanted to focus on this

But Lamb had those two drops so uncharacteristic And he told Brian Schoheimer all it did Bro Yeah I don't know why he needed to relay that If it was relayed to him It's unnecessary I mean did the guy say um or like it all you typically clean that up.

Hey, bro, it felt like Joe Davis wanted to talk as if he was CD for a moment. This is an odd moment. Oh, really? Go ahead. What else you got there, Joe? What else would CD say? Maybe celebrate a pass catch for us here.

And then this cut happened because of CD. Of course, something the Cowboys did not take advantage of is a ton of Giants' penalties. C.D. Lam knew. there was a penalty and I could see it right away and I I am very aware of the new rules just because I've watched a couple of games but CD should be very aware because like they're up his ass about it all the time as far as the taunting another player dude you're allowed to celebrate yourself I get it but you're right it has been the point

of emphasis but dude there's no the camera's on him and he's like laughing ha ha ha he's Dude, it's football. What are we doing? I'm just saying... You're right, and I hate it, but this is ridiculous. There's a few... I understand. We have a gun problem in this country,

and the only way to solve it is for NFL players to not do gun celebrations. I will give you that. Right. But there was no gun. There was no knife. He's just, like, giving you the... Oh, shit, they called you for that.

That's... Now, dude, what are we doing? It's just taunting a particular player. This is not college. It's the NFL. These dudes are making $20 million a deal. a year and eroited out of their minds on a cage every week. And we're like, oh, he pointed at him after an emotional moment.

What are we doing? That was more than just like I pointed at him. I thought it was kind of a, it was like a nana, nana, you suck. I think that should be allowed. I don't understand. It's insane to me that we're like, yeah, try to go kill each other. But as soon as this guy who's a AD at a high school blows a whistle, if you point at somebody, bad guy, we're going to take away.

a sixth of the fucking field on you. It's insane. Okay, well, he's... And then the fact that because of that, it was all offsetting? Yes. Sensibly saying that the worst act that occurred among all those things

was the nana nana boo-boo. Well, and I would have thought that is a post-the-play penalty. So all those other penalties are enforced or... Yeah, at least you pick the one you want. And then post-play, now you're 15-yard. back more than you would be. No, no. If you've been mean to somebody... That feels like it's a post... It was after the play is done. So that's the way I thought

that should have been enforced. Anyway, the ref had to call so many penalties he left. There's four fouls on a play. 12 men. Defense. Personal foul. Rough and a passer. Defense number 95. Pass interference. Defense number two. Art Sports will not conduct No way Offense number Number 88 All fouls offset

Replayed third down Four penalties On one What are you doing Yeah I think they missed the fourth I thought Tyler Gight in the left tackle I thought I can't say T

chaser They missed the fourth I thought Tyler Gight in the left tackle I thought he tackled Brian Burns So it should have been five Five I'm sorry I lose four is my limit.

It's as high as I can go. That was awesome. I like Greg. I like that ref. He sounded like Jubb trying to read. Yeah, that ref, I think he looks like the oldest old school ref that's in the league now. He's not cut. Vinovich.

Is that him? No, I'm talking about the black guy. The black guy out there yesterday, is that he you're talking about it? Got a little bit of love handles. He feels old school to me. No, it was an old white guy. Was it Vinovich? Okay, so I must have been watching a later game, too.

There's an older guy, an older black guy who's kind of fat, and I really vibed with him yesterday. He might have done the Dawkins game. That might have been it. There aren't many of them left. He's hefty. Not even hefty. The guy's in shape.

He just doesn't, he's not cut. Want a little shoddy post game? I do. Please. Did they win because of the penalties? Did they win because of big plays that they made? Or do they win because, well, Shottie will tell you why they won. These guys are confident, and they should be confident.

We're a good football team. Now, I think we did some stupid shit tonight. You know, I really do. And, you know, a lot of penalties. You know, I think they got us for 12 and them for 14. So we've got to look at that. Special team stuff is unacceptable. We're not going to let that happen.

So we've got to look at those and we've got to play with better hands. But it speaks to the type of culture we've built. And again, I know some people don't like talking about culture. but that's what I'm all about. Really? I told you guys, when we had adversity, our guys would step up, and they did. So, yeah, I thought it was the really ill-advised pass from Russell Wilson

that looked like it was intended for the Cowboys defender. Adding to that, adding a known bad culture guy to your offense is why you won the game. You signed a psychopath, and he produced. It's not because of shot But the reason shoddy has to tell you about his culture Is because what else is he going to tell you about? Right

Ping pong Ping pong The Seahawks years And just a couple of bingoes They're the same bingo though So I don't know what happens If you can get the same Thing called on two bingos

Anyway First win Only a hundred ninety-nine more Right To pass him, yeah I'm going to enjoy this one Midnight rule I've told you guys this one right

midnight i'm gonna enjoy it i'm gonna have a couple shoties tonight uh and uh at midnight i'm gonna go to bed and uh wake up and we're on to chicago i want uh i want to be a fan so bad but i just i don't know the youth pastor dude perfect ha ha so party a little bit thing is is i hate it i use your voice get come back um after a few shotties So if you guys let me leave, I'm going to go have a couple, three lemons, right? Vodka water, three lemons. But it'll come back tomorrow. When you guys talk tomorrow, I'm going to have great juice.

I'm a little tired right now. That's 70 minutes. I didn't even play, but I'm a little tired. Nice guy, and I'm going to pull for him, but it's, it's, they invented the word cringe for this individual. Like, he calls himself by not only his own nickname, but his own nickname for his drinking. Right. And it has nothing to do with drinking or alcohol.

It's not that. It's just a weird, I don't know, whenever I was a big drinker, and I love it. I don't think it's weird people who are like, you know what I'm going to do tonight? A couple of crown roads, berries. Like, that's as weird as talking about sex to me. Do it. Enjoy it, but, yeah, you know me. I'm going to have some shoddies.

We have some other NFL audio, including Micah stuff. I want to do that in a few minutes? We could do this all day. All right. The Dunza. You're listening to The Dumzo. This is a rhetorical question for those in this room, but have you ever dreamed of stepping on to the diamond

and living out your big league dreams, Dan Sawyer? Now is your chance. I have. We're talking Texas Rangers fantasy camp. That's presented by national car renter, rental, and it is in surprise. January 7th through the 11th, 2026. It's a real deal. Campers compete in a six-game season with teams coached by actual Rangers legends,

pro-level equipment, your own personalized authentic Rangers uniform, daily meals, hotels, transpo. Everything is taken care of. So it's in surprise, huh? Because I did this, but it was here Many, many years ago. Like 20 years ago, I was in the Rangers fantasy camp And it's like the coolest thing I've ever done.

It sounds incredible. It's great. And by next year, there's a chance I may want to do this If I could throw properly. Confirmed alumni, the aforementioned Steve Bouchel. Oh, yeah? Mark McLemore, Kobe Lewis, Darren Oliver, Ruben Sierra, Pete Incavilia.

It seems extremely cool. Now, those are the things that they can guarantee. It also says here, plus you'll make lifelong memories with fellow campers, and I feel like there's no way that they can promise that. I don't know that I did with fellow campers, but I do have a lifelong memory because my wife came out to see me at the stadium, the old ballpark. Like the last day you get to do a game.

You had your old gal. Like Jim Kern or some old ranger was pitching. Like, he was like 65 or whatever. Just sit in your ass down. Unbelievable speed. Like, the ball. Seriously. Like, I'm up to bat.

Like, okay, I'm going to take Jim Kern. He's like this old man. He's like, oh, my God. But it's really fun. And so, for some reason, Dr. Phil's wife was there. And the memory we have, the long-lasting memory is my wife has a picture. of her and Dr. Phil's wife. He was, like, stoked about that.

While great, again, no promises made on Dr. Phil's wife being there. TexasRangers.com slash fantasy camp. You will get to train and live like the pros. Spots are limited. Dr. Phil's wife pending TexasRangers.com slash fantasy camp.

Let's keep doing Cowboys stuff and NFL stuff with Sports I'm going to play you a little bit of Jerry audio here. He spoke for, I don't think there's any rhyme or reason to win Jerry talks anymore. I think he's just talking. Used to be like every home game, right? Yeah.

And now it's, he seems like some road. Maybe that was week one. I think he's going to be just talking a lot. He's feeling the documentary juices. He's got a lot of PR to do right now because of the Micah thing. So if they win on the road, he's talking, you know. Or if they do pretty well on the road. Right.

There you go. There you go. He did a couple. things in his press conference yesterday that or his media availability that I hate. They're sort of subtle. Last week he was on the fan and they asked him

about Duran Bland. He's like, oh, it shouldn't be long. Shouldn't be long. Which is completely unnecessary to do. This is a cornerback with a foot injury who missed half of last season. Different injury, but I think

it's a bad move by management when they used to do this to Sean Lee all the time. And when they just say if a guy's out, nah, it should be long. Because now when it is, it's the player's fault. Maybe some of this happened to Trayvon. I don't think so. But this is what he did.

It was Cooper Beebe who left the game yesterday. Yeah, he's good. We don't know, right? At least at the time, what is it now? Six to eight. That's important because I didn't know that. High ankle sprain. When did that come out?

Should I've seen that this morning? This morning, sometime. I didn't know that. It looked bad, though. It did look bad. And I heard from reporters in the room and everything. He wasn't moving around. Well, here's, I think this is Machota, asking Jerry about it after the game.

What's your concern level with Cooper Beattie? We saw him living in a locker room. Yeah, I don't have any idea the extent of his, he's tough guy. And I didn't hear. Why? Why does he need to even see? Well, he's a tough guy. I mean, so probably back quicker.

Probably not long, yeah. If he's a giant pussy, it could take 60 weeks. That's the staff The staff is saying But if he's a tough guy He's a tough guy And I didn't hear Anything during the game

That was of a degree That I would Be worried about it But I want to emphasize I don't know The assessment of the injury He did hit the I don't know But I think it's a Jerry thing

He's always done And I don't like it To just put it on the player Tough guy would come back The other weird extremely Jerry thing he did, as Dan Sawyer, who was at the game yesterday, pointed out, did they sign Jadavia and Clowney during the game? Well, we just signed while we were here today, we just signed another pass rusher. But we're playing it pretty straight. We're rushing forward.

And so we'll have an announcement on that. We signed him right during the game. before the game. And, yeah. So, but the point is that... So is it during the game or before the game? It sounds like it got done during the game. Like, done done, but it had to have been very...

I mean, he visited the other day. So, I mean, our thought was, is Jerry picking up the blue phone as Russell Wilson is just dancing 20 yards around back and forth and being like, give me clowny. It didn't make me... I didn't mark it, so let me see. Jerry and I talk about a lot of things. Okay, so here's the...

question. Last one, John. Brian, did Jerry tell you that you guys are signing J.D. have any clowning who told us that out there? Jerry and I talk about a lot of things, John. Thoughts on that? If it's true, which I think if Jerry says it, it's true, that's awesome for the cowboys. Okay, so he did not tell us.

That's so uncomfortable. Yeah, so this goes back to, like, last week, I think we dealt with one of these things of, this is something that just not every coach has to worry about. about, but has to make sure, am I saying the right thing that the owner said, or do I want to kind of act like I know what's going on around here? You know, the other thing, too, is like, well, Jerry, we talk about a lot of things. The point is, not that thing that you were asked about. He'll talk to you about what he thinks you need to know about, and it's not everything.

I do think it's, I don't know, like, shoddy, I haven't listened to the whole post game, but most head coaches will say when asked about something, I'm going to have to see that tape first. Jerry's like, it was a disaster out there when Cairo Elam got beat. He's like, I couldn't believe it. It's like, you don't even have a replay. I wonder what the market. Sweet. He's just riffed, dude.

I feel like the market for Clowny was very small. Just because he visited the Cowboys last week and then it was like up to Clowny to kind of decide, apparently. And I feel like that's what every player loves to visit the Cowboys and then go somewhere else and actually sign there

because they can get the price up a little bit. But I think they went around the league and there was no other there. And so he came back to the Cowboys. Yeah, I don't know the ins and outs. You're probably on to something. I'm not expecting much, man. If you're going to expect this pass rush group to get better, maybe you're hoping that if you bring in Clowny,

he's got a month of juice while the other guys hopefully figure it out. You're hoping that Neeland Desiraku and Sam Williams can figure it out by the end of the year. It doesn't look good, though. I wouldn't be surprised if they made a trade. I would not be surprised if they made a trade for a pass rusher, which is insane. It's very similar to what happened with Amari Cooper five, six years ago. We're like, fuck it, we don't need receivers. And then five games into the season, they're like, well, we tried with no.

none why don't we get a good one and then they won enough games that year to get into the playoffs and put jub and a mohawk you know so i wouldn't be surprised honestly if if by the deadline they say we're going to flip a second and go get a real pass rusher and around and around we go somebody put up that image of uh shoddy clayton this is just going to be my new profile picture uh it's the shot of siah we're now a iing a listener sent me this that doesn't even look like shoddy. Yeah, it does. It looks like shoddy and Jesus combined. It looks more like shoddy than Jesus. Yeah, he has a

crown of thorns on and the visor. Okay, I guess I'm just, shoddy is my what do you call it? Not avatar whatever. The logo for my fantasy team because tactical shoddy, I have a picture of shoddy. And he looks nothing like that. I look at his face every day and

you know. Okay. I got a button up tunic or something? Yeah, I just took the Crown of Thorns and the visor. People are really going to come around on this guy. I can feel it. Who knows, man.

Maybe this is the way. Maybe this is the way. I don't predict that it is. They doubted Christ at first, too. Did you all see what they were doing after the game with all the players? So Dallas Cowboys Twitter posted their little social media person running up to all the players

and throwing them a visor and saying, hey, celebrate shotty's first one. win and they were all like throwing the visor on and like just doing their shoddy impersonations and stuff if i watched that i would probably like it if because i'm a cowboy fan and if i were anyone else i'd be like this is the lamest shit in the world the visor is not cool like it's not it's not it's an odd choice to pick like an identifier as something not cool but he did tom landry had the fedora fedora is so cool like shot he's got the visor government officials could and beat Tom Landry at dressing

and now we've got this guy. So. We're 101. We will segue from Jerry to this clip which you'll see why it's a good segue because this is the Thursday night football crew.

By the way, awful. Oh, no. Still awful. Like Thursday Night Football. Oh. Kirk Street. Awful. What are we doing?

That's after the first year of it, you didn't say, I don't know, can't we do a little something different here, do a little better? Can't we get Greg Olson to just do two games a week? He will. Can we do something? Troy did it before. What if we get anyone, any person who, just give me a guy who played in the NFL. How about that? Any player?

Berline? Steve Berline. Steve Berline. Steve Berline could absolutely do this job. but we have Kirk Herb Street and Al Michaels could there be any two guys with less chemistry?

Not only less chemistry and I'll play you something later but they're just outwardly admitting they don't care about their job now so it's fun and I'm glad Al can go off into the sunset and making silly money

to do one game a week it's fine I thought you were even the whatever they are studio or sideline crew. They're trying, but it's a mess. I like fits, but I don't like that crew. The whole thing.

Terrible. Got a lot of Blazers and T-shirts, man. So here they are on the post-game show. And Micah Parsons is going to be joining them coming out of the break. Welcome to Tina Nightcap, presented by Allstate. I'm going to lay out for a second because this crowd has something to say. Thank you, Jerry. Thank you, Jerry.

Thank you, Jerry. I know you guys know what they're saying. They're saying, thank you, Jerry. Joining us now, on set, Michael Parsons. It was hard to make out with the baseline return that was cranked up. By way, I do think about engineer and producer Blake a lot, because I know Pam is pilled up, but they do her no favors, dude. They bury her in the mix.

It's the start of the game. Everybody's super hyped up and there's loud music and it just makes it so much worse. So, yeah, there was a little bit of an issue there, but it sucks, dude. And this is nowhere near over. Two weeks coming here two weeks from now. So I feel bad. Well, I don't feel bad. It's the media and especially the clip culture media that we even find ourselves in, right?

Get a clip, make it go viral. hopefully people will see this clip and then whatever the clip. And then cancel their advertising. Well, I don't know. Yeah, that did happen to us. Effing clips. Maybe you got to make sure you put the right clip out there, Blake.

Sorry. Not every clip should be put out there. Sorry, Click, Commander. So this clip went viral, which would cause you to criticize, or it's Micah criticizing the Cowboys. This clip went viral. Running to the ball, playing hard as hell,

and just hitting mother, you know what I mean? Like, coming into a culture like that where you don't have to bring that and you're not trying to change a culture, it's so much easier transition. So did you see this out there? Cut off? It was cut off. And, oh my God, this is Micah Parsons

talking about being with Green Bay. What Green Bay is like? Running to the ball, playing hard as hell, and just hitting Motherf, you know what I mean? Like, coming into a carson's talking about. culture like that where you don't have to bring that and you're not trying to change a culture it's so much easier transition so when you're coming into that culture and you don't have to oh wow so that means he was just leaving the cowboys who clearly didn't have that culture

unless you hear the full clip in context the culture of the green bay packers and how it differs from the cowboys how have you felt that even though you've been here for a short time you know i wouldn't really say the culture because i think i was a great group of guys i love that locker room, but I'm just happy I came into a locker room where they established that they run to the ball. I'm joining something that I was already used to. Running to the ball, playing hard as hell

and just hitting one of them. I'm joining something that I was already used to. And you're not trying to change the culture. It's so much easier transition. That is the best beyond the clip that we've had. I mean, that's, I, it was worse. I saw it in quotes. Like, I didn't

even hear it. I just read it. I was like, damn. And I would never never would have followed up on that because the cowboy fan is very ready to be told your culture's bad, it sucks, it's not about football there. Well, here's one in the wind column where Mike is like, actually, that's what I'm used to. I came from that and coming to that, and that's why it's great to not have to be the guy to just bring it. So, yes, what a big piece of context there. Yeah, and I'm glad you're doing that. And that's what it was going to be, right?

Because Micah didn't have a problem with his... It's not like when DeMarcus Lawrence left. He had a problem with Micah. Right. Micah didn't have a problem with his teammates defensively necessarily, at least his faction of them. So that makes sense. But I'll tell you this, dude.

He's... You said it as much, like, they're the favorite for the Super Bowl right now. Like, they're so good. And he's up, he's not even... Like right now he's at a, just for context, right? Like last year, he would average about like 17 or 18% pressure rate. So on roughly a fifth of the snaps, he's getting a pressure, a pass snaps.

That usually leads the league. Right now he's just over 10% as he's getting going here. That's 19th in the NFL. The highest cowboy is Sam Williams at 5%. that puts you down like at 60th. So most years, the Cowboys have Micah at number two, number one through number three, and whoever was opposite Micah was in the top 20. Whether it was DeMarcus Lawrence, whether it was Dante Fowler

or any of the other scrubs they've run through here opposite Micah, they all ate at like a north of 10% rate that kept them in the top 25 pass pressure. so now they not only as you said don't have that guy the next guy down is barely like a second tier pass rusher based on the numbers he's putting up and they don't have another guy after that for like another 50 spots let me play you two minutes of audio of Herbie and the broadcast talking about Micah

this is once the game is in hand Time now for Driven for More, presented by Hyundai, big deals in Dallas, Big D. Luca Donchich, of course, traded from the Mavericks to the Lakers, which was stunning and totally unexpected. Just when you weren't thinking about Luca. Michael Parsons going from Dallas to Reed Bay. That was stunning, but not necessarily unexpected, because he talked about getting out of Dallas because of the impasse with Jerry Jones. And the contract asked for a trade to demand stars. I went on both in their prime.

Yeah. Have you ever seen a city lose two superstars like that in their prime? Can't take a one from the goal line. Debo Samuel will run it out. 27-yard line. We're talking to Parsons the other day. You know, it's one thing to get acclimated to the play on the field. We said, what about off the field?

He said, well, they gave me a big truck. I got an Airbnb, and I'm eating a Texas Roadhouse. He told us he weighs 248, wants to get to 240. I said he ain't going to get into Texas Roadhouse. Better find a vegan place. Maybe they do have great chemistry. He said, you know, growing up in Harrisburg. Can you pause?

Al Michaels thinks you lose weight by just eating vegetables. That's right. Not. Al Michaels has never eaten vegetables. Remember that? Yeah, it was a weird thing for him to mention there. Yeah. If he needed to lose weight, he would just eat vegetables.

Right. He said, you know, growing up in Harrisburg, he feels comfortable in this setting. By the way, this is like a village. What a great community. If you're a football fan and you've never been here, you need to visit. It is as good of a place for football as there is. But you think about Dallas on the other end of this, you know, trying to lose the city and their fans, what they're dealing with losing those superstars.

With the Dallas Wall and Anthony Davis and they got Cooper flag From the 27-yard line What? This is dog shit as he throws This is dog shit Gade of about eight here

Let's go to Kaylee Guys Mike has told us He hasn't talked to Lucas since before the trade But he wants to reach out to him too He sees the same parallels that we do in their experiences and he put it quite frankly saying there's nothing more motivating than when you find out that people

you love don't truly believe in you, and they thought less of you. He said there's nothing more motivated. Well, he looked pretty motivated last week. Motivated tonight. Approaching the prime of his career. It was only his fifth season. That's true. Knocking on it.

Knocking on the door. Yep. Second down and three after the seven-yard game. The real part I wanted you to hear was what she was saying. Just the whole, you know, you really find out, you really get motivated when you find out the people, they just don't love you. Right. that's the spin that's what he i guess athletes have to do that they said michael jordan used to invent but this is an extreme case of that i get it we all do it in our own lives like i've got to gas myself up

a little bit but this is just straight lies like and maybe he sees it that way and so it's subjective it's not a lie it's a truth to him this is how he's going to write his story though like if there's a 30 for 30 on mica or when they're in the super bowl this year and we have to watch six hours of coverage of Micah. All it's going to be is him telling the story that I wanted to be a cowboy for life. I grew up, you know, a cowboy fan, but they didn't want me there. They just didn't want me there. Let's talk about the Luca Micah comparison.

Does Luca return a Micah call? I say no. I'm not even sure he knows who he is. I mean, they've obviously met, but... He's met a million people with what they've said, here, pose with this guy. Because he's really big on the Cowboys. He's like, oh, okay. Black guy.

Right. Yeah, I don't know. If Micah and Dak walked in together, would he be able to tell you who is who? Yes. But only because... Because of Dak. Of Dude Perfect.

And I promise you... Did you see? Yeah. I did. I didn't watch it. What? They dropped some behind the scenes of Luca on Dude Perfect. Yeah.

And it's awesome. Yeah, I also listened to Sham God on a podcast this weekend, talk for 10 minutes about how he hated the way things were handled. And he had to leave after they traded Luca because he actually had a really interesting word. He was like, shit got spooky down there. And I was like, I know what you mean. Spooky. Backstabbers. I know.

It's just the way he described it is how it felt. First try. Let's go. I know you hear some people say first try. That was first try. All right, fun behind the scenes facts. We've been doing Dupirk for 13 years. Turn this off, dude. You can't follow Amazon with this.

That's so bad. Please stop. We're going to get copywritten. I am going to play you one thing from the Amazon deal here because I feel like... Luca made something on the first try? Yes. Yeah, because he's talented. Oh, you know what?

I should have got the real audio for this. He's Luca. I should have got the real audio for this. So when Dude Perfect takes a hundred times to make a shot? Yes, because you're spares. He's Luca. Yes. That's what he does.

They're just shocked. First try, wow. They have to act shocked by the fact that they wake up in the morning. They're like that. The water's on. Dude, perfect. They have to. There's no, you can't, you have to scale this all the way.

A boner. First try. I should have got the clean audio here. I'm a failure of a former producer, but this made me laugh. If you were in the team announcing you got through the World Series on NBC with Kurt Conard and Tony Gubek. Remember that? All downhill from there, baby.

Thank you, Pete, Rose, Johnny, Bench, Joe Morgan, Sparky. What year was that? 1972. Lost the World Series in 7th to open. Yeah. We cover the Earth year. Yeah. Thursday night.

Yeah. Well, that led them to 75, 76. He missed out on that. I was gone. Marty Brennan took over. I went to the Giants for the money. What else is new? I thought that was very self-aware, a little peak.

If he's like, yeah, I'm sitting here, mail on this end. Cha-ching, cha-ching, ch-ching, a little peek behind there. I enjoyed that. We don't have any more, Micah, right? That's correct. Okay, so there's a ton of... He's not on with dude, perfect.

A ton of NFL stuff we can get into. You know what? He wouldn't have either. I promise you he thinks that's lame. I found my card that he slash a Pizza Hut rep wrote me when they sent me my jacket this weekend because I was hanging up, Mementos.

there's a million other NFL stories we could get into but for today I want to make sure we hit whatever is happening with the Indianapolis Colts my dad's dark horse the the Daniel Jones led Colts are now 2 and oh and yesterday I was watching Red Zone and this actually showed up on the screen and I went to Twitter and people were all over it this is so Jim Earsay died recently, and he has left the team to his daughters. Now, they're probably 50s. This one, you're about to see her name is Carly Earsay Gordon. And they were kind of like taking care of him at the end of life. And obviously, as we talked about recently, he was going through serious addiction struggle as he was dying. So they've been basically running the team for a few years now, but I have not seen them do this, which is, appear on the sideline with an earpiece and like three play sheets or notebooks and a pen.

It's great. That's really small paper. It's small paper. It looks like there's probably three, but you can see coaches do that with their play sheet, but it's not usually a play sheet they're writing on. Like pluses and minuses you do that, but you do that on a bigger play sheet.

Either way, she's taking notes. I don't know that she has a mic, but she has an IFP in, and she's on the field. Looking fine as fuck, too, by the way. But I don't know, man. Imagine Jerry with a headset today. Or really any male owner. We'd be like, what are we?

Really any owner. I don't want to make this a gender thing. This is weird as hell. It makes me think of the Cowboys documentary, which I am now on the episode where they fired Jimmy. And Troy Aikman is talking about it as they're showing a video of it. And Troy is saying, yeah, it was really weird. So they hire Barry Switzer the next year.

And he's like at training camp, all of a sudden, Jerry is on the field in a coach's uniform. So he's wearing coach gear. He's put on the shorts. Little shorts and a whistle and all that. And he's walking amongst the coaches and players on the field, like directing people, the linebackers here and there. He's like, that would never happen under Jimmy. He's like, it was shocking to see.

And Troy knew he was playing dress up, and that's... The only surprise here is that Jerry has not had an IFB and a play sheet in front of him. Yeah, and maybe it's just because even he knows, like, the bounds of PR. And I don't know, maybe this lady doesn't care. I mean, it's, again, to go back to the woman thing, it's not that because I don't think, Jim Earsay knew anything about football,

like enough to where he could be on a sideline contributing. So she's no different than him. It just feels like an old school way of doing things. Like a micromanage, like I'm on top of your ass about everything. It's working. Hey, look, she didn't hire Jeff Saturday. That was her dad's last dumbass idea before he. You know what's really funny now?

I have to read that Washington Post article. clearly a cocaine idea. The Jimmer's or the Jeff Saturday? Like if you look at the timeline and you know that he was like doing coke and ketamine like a lot. Why not? You know who's awesome? People loved him. He's like, dude, Jeff Saturday is like coach or Jim are you high?

He's like, yes, I'll take the job. That'd be fun to revisit that someday. Press conference is gold. So keep out, keep a lookout for Carly's Colts, my AFC team. Early bird CBD is not normal CBD.

Here's Jay with the DumbZone News. um all right there's no real avoiding this the news of the weekend was related to the shooting

the murdering of conservative commentator charlie kirk um so the first thing i'm going to do for you is play you a question that jerry jones was asked about this because at the game yesterday as Dan Sawyer knows they had a moment of silence for Charlie before the game a pregame commemoration was done to Charlie Crick I wanted to know if you had any words

about his memory in his passing By the way I'm just reading dialect but I think you got your wish here I feel like that's a black lady not positive but yeah no I saw some stuff floating around where he said some pretty

racist things and uh yeah i just wonder how black reporters black players whatever feel about well uh we just uh all abhor so jerry does this thing um i'm a big fan of it because it reminds me the stuff my my dad like my dad mispronounces a lot of words and like you can say abhor most people say abhor and like actually pronounce the age oh that's what do you okay yeah but it's It's one of those fun ones where he knows this word, he said it a thousand times, and he's going to say it this way every time, and no one tells him not to. And again, I live this with my father, so.

Well, we just all abhor violence, and it's impacting us all. Day by day. Certainly, we all stand together on any front relative to the threat of violence. And we just all hope that we'll go through a time I was involved, a young guy, but we're in the 60s when we had huge violence, lost President Kennedy and his brother. Hey, just check it as we're doing history. Was there anything involved in, like, the decade before that you were around for where people were being, like, intimidated for their, like, beliefs or anything? And many, many others, Martin Luther King. And so it's something that we really all need to.

just be aware of support our law enforcement and do everything we can to keep the violence and check anyways uh brian john can't argue with any of that no no no also appreciate saying i i don't love in violence or end whatever but i feel like a reasonable man is like can we just keep racism in check jerry's like can we just violence let's keep it in check we know this is not ending yeah so uh yeah i don't want to i don't want to get into a let's just keep it behind closed doors with molly i don't want to right this is not it's not the place for us to like debate who charlie kirk was like obviously there are people who thought he was very insightful and who love him and a lot of things that he believed in i've you know because i'm me i've known

who the guy was since he came about and either way it just feels like full it to be moment of silence in stadiums and this just isn't the cowboys not it's most of the NFL I know the Yankees did it yeah it um it just feels weird even the government to even be into it at all well when there is a lot of other yeah I don't think there's any chance this would happen if president Trump weren't president and that's not even a criticism of Trump I think the average Trump voter would agree like he does things a little differently here but there's no world. But this guy was also a real big Trump fan, right? I know, but that's what I'm saying, is that

like Mitt Romney isn't doing this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if Barack Obama was president and, hell, I don't know, Rachel Maddow got shot or something, this ain't happening. Right, right. So it is a very unique situation, but it was

carried out and handled the way that it was over the weekend. I heard about it seemingly on every college football broadcast on Saturday and McAfee's up there in the morning uniting the country. It's just an insane, insane world.

But there's one thing in particular that I did want to comment on. And it was, I posted this on Twitter, but Dan Lannning, Oregon's head coach, who I am in love with. I love the way he coaches.

I think the way he coaches defense is electric. It's hard not to love the guy. I think he talks shit at a level that I love and they back it up. Love the way they play. Love to hear him talk. And so he did a very football coach thing to do, which is he's on top of the world.

His team's really good. I am around young men all day. I'm going to speak on the social issues of the day. It's like five minutes long. I'll just play you a little. I wish the world can learn a little bit of something from our locker room because we got a bunch of people with differences. And what you got in there is a bunch of people who love there.

And there's some people that will be disappointed about. how much i said about this right there'll be some people that are disappointed that i didn't say enough right and i really don't care right what i do care about is if you disagree with me if you hate me if you don't like like me just know this i love you right that's kind of his message if we go back to the beginning of it there's a little in here the u.s could learn a lot from our locker room i think the people in this world can learn a lot from our locker room you walk in that locker room you got guys of different races guys of different backgrounds different religions and you got a team that loves each other like tons of differences tons of differences where they come from what they deal with and ultimately

you got a team that loves each other and i think we're missing some of that in our country you know you talk about are you recently found out like charlie okay so that message is going to play very well on social media and it makes everyone feel good and it kind of evokes this like platonic idea of what america is that we all are different and it works um But, and that's why I love football, you know, to me, that's why that is the sport for me. It was the sport, it was the most team sport, and it was the, you know, it was really the first way I was around kids who didn't look like me from like five, six years old. It's like, this is cool.

But the thing is, to try to say that the country, hey, we could learn a lot from that. Because of my, like, political and economic views, to me, it is very, very. obvious that these things of we're so divided and but everybody hates each other and there's people are video games are violent like this all exist because of our economic system which is set up to create division and it's only going one direction like when i posted this on twitter this weekend the first guy was like you know we could just go back to like the 195 tax code people think that this is like some fucking woke socialist thing we're talking about the old tax rates and the country is set up to where if you're very wealthy it's very unlikely that you're

not going to stay wealthy we have socialism for billionaires but for the rest of us the economy's obviously not working like I know enough dudes and I think this is a male thing so let me say this the dude who killed Charlie Kirk was he extreme right extreme left was he a groiper was he sucking a trans person off, it doesn't matter. Because to me the point is, there are thousands and thousands of these people, mostly male, across generations who have given up hope. I know that because I know a lot of them. There's an expectation in society, if you're a male, maybe not that you're going to provide for your whole family, but at least you're going to hold up your end of the bargain. So when the economy goes poorly, I think it affects young male.

more and you've got just a lot of people who have they've there's the average age of home ownership is so much higher now than it's ever been the idea of being able to pay off your student debt you could say you shouldn't take it out the debt but it's not set up for you to pay it off like unemployment is what it is I just think all these things that we like to yell at each other about and I'm not saying racism isn't a thing I'm not saying people only care about transgender issues because the economy is bad. But I am saying that everything gets turned up to a level of 11 because of the way that this economy is leaving people behind. And I think you've got a bunch of dudes who have lost hope who are online all day. And I know that

because I know a lot of them. And it sucks. And to me, that's the part where everybody's like, oh, God, was he transgender? Was he a groper? Was he a groyper? Was he? Was he, Nick Fuentes? Was he this? Like, because nobody, and even the politicians, like, get up there and they're like, oh, God, what do we do about all this hate? I don't even think half them realize because they're in the same system. My point is just, I feel as if this is strictly an economic issue. But we never talk about it that way.

We look at all the other things to say, like, oh, God, America must just be the most racist country in the world. It's not. I promise you. It's not close. Yeah, some of the socialist countries are probably pretty racist because they don't have homogenous. They don't have a lot of mix of racism. Yeah, the people like me who are like, look at the Nordic model. It's a nice mix of capitalism, it's 99% white people.

It feels like people of that nation, white people. Yeah. And so it's tricky. I get it. But I just, I don't, I think it's a shitty thing that we all have to blame ourselves. Like, we did this as people. We created this situation. we didn't do this.

This was done to us and it continues to be done to us and it's a matter of oligarchy not left or right. I'll stop ranting now. Don't they say that like the race or gender or whatever it is these little ideologies,

these little things, they want you to be arguing about that because you're not paying attention to what you're talking about? That's my take. That if it was a class, if it was class versus class, they know they could never

win that. Sure. Because the amount of the amount of people, you know, populism. Below millionaires are quite a few more. So they want you to argue about whatever this issue is that can make sure that

we keep the class divided. Yeah, I think that material things I think are what drive people apart. And I don't think it's a Republican Democrat. I think it's all. They're all. right that this is why i get so i have no choice but to vote for democrats when i have to choose between the two but people are like oh you love joe biden right i can't stand joe biden right

they just don't have one for us and the only one they had for us is dying and the difference i think or i've always thought the difference with the trump rise is like he puts it all out there where all that stuff was still going on like yeah Hillary and bill they're bad you know the All the politicians usually, but they keep it all behind closed doors. And they aren't so overt with everything. Yeah. I don't know. No, I agree with you.

But we are where we are. But I'll stop opining on it. What are we going to do about this pass rush? I just think, I just do, I just think it's a zoo animal or something. It's, uh, listen, we did it once. Never mind. I'll stop. I don't, I just am not. I'm not complaining about the story as Blake appears to.

to me. I'm not here to debate, like, was the guy good or bad, right? Like, everybody probably, you have your own opinion on that. I just, uh, I don't know, I think we're blaming the wrong people. We're looking sideways and we should be looking up. And speaking of this story, um, Blake,

sorry, there were many, many stories from over the weekend of people being, uh, fired for their comments on this matter. That's also a thing. I, So I thought this was an ironic thing, right? The, I don't know anything about Charlie Kirk either, but if you love him, you would say he stood for free speech among all things.

He's just talking. He's just a guy who talks and he wants all sides of any story to be out there. And it's just your job to debate him on his feelings. So wouldn't a person like that Not want like if somebody does celebrate that he died Wouldn't a person like that just say free speech That's the most important thing You have to have free speech

I would not want you to be fired for your free speech Because that's cancel culture That I hate And so you are just exhibiting free speech That just feels like it doesn't really make sense Uh, yeah, it's not, and there's no logical consistencies here. All right. I listen to the guy.

But people are really getting fired because they're... Oh, hell yeah. Yeah, there's a guy from American Airlines. This is a pilot. They say he's been grounded, but... Well, that sounds so... I feel like he's on his way to get fired. His posts also suck.

That's a thing. Unless you think about flying a plane, I guess. I don't think you should get fired for making tweets, sarcastic tweets about Charlie Kirk's death. I think you should get fired for making. fired for making unfunny tweets about Charlie Kirk's death. For example, the one that was like slimed out in Utah,

Homefield Advantage must not be a thing anymore. I laughed very hard at that. So you don't get fired for that one. The pilot. Hey Charlie, sorry you got shot in your fat effing forehead. It was the cost of liberty, thoughts, and prayers. It's not funny.

Homefield Advantage, a lot of whites there, a lot of gun people. You're like, okay, I get that. This is not funny at all. In fact, I don't want to be on this guy's flight. So I'm glad they grounded him. So he's grounded. He can't play Xbox.

Yeah. That's a big deal. Can't go to youth. No TV. No Madden. No Madden, Mom? And then, yeah, I watched a deal on a clip from the tire slasher guy on Fox News, Jesse Waters. And he just straight up to the point of...

What's the tire slasher guy? He met his wife by... She was a producer. production assistant and he slashed her tires because she wouldn't go out with them and so he slashed her tires and had to give her a ride and that's how he was eventually able to weigh the groundwork he was married at the time too he's married to her now brilliant did he slash just one tire or all of them i don't know that's a good question it feels like overkill if you would have gone beyond one i would worry that the tire would like pop like a

balloon and be in my face oh you think i know how to slash a tire like do you slash you just shove it in. I don't know. Like, because slash means like this. Because I saw a video of that lady, that person who got beheaded last week we were talking about. I hadn't seen the video then. Beheading, it ain't what you think, man. There's a lot of carving in there. That's not a straight

shot. You ever try to even cut a turkey? Again, when I was watching the guy try to cut his head off. Without an electric knife. Without an electric knife. Try cutting a turkey. Yeah. And to say nothing of a human. But I was watching him on there, Jesse Waters, and he was like, yeah,

guess what? We're coming for all of you. You came for all of us for our COVID tweets. You got us all fired for not masking up and tweeting about it. We're going to get you fired now. Like he's just nakedly saying like, here's a deal. It's our turn.

All right. But yeah, I don't have... That's why I don't tweet about any of it. Because you can't have funny ones. Because I can't have funny ones, yeah. Big, big day for Blake and I don't know, Blake I know you're a big fan

of Darren Watkins Jr., otherwise known as I Show Speed. Oh yeah, who's here, right? He is here. At your place. Where?

Shugs, bagels. Oh, is he? Okay, yeah, there it is. This is part of his American tour. It's 35-day IRL stream in America, IRL in real life. Well, what does this person do?

You are not familiar with I Show Speed? I'm not making fun of you. I'm asking you. I don't know what you're saying. These words in that... I show Speed is a guy. I don't know who it is either. Okay. You have kids?

You wouldn't matter. He is the most popular YouTube streamer in the world outside of maybe Kai Sinan, right? What's his name? Is he on YouTube? Kai? I don't know. I Show Speed is what he goes by. He's got 45.

He's got 45 million followers on YouTube. This happens every day. Like, I learn about a person. So this dude is big enough, though. That is the most well-known person in the world. I've never heard of him. He... Let's see here.

He jumped over 10 shares. He's very athletic. No, he's a very fast guy, and he'll, like, beat Tyreek Hill one-on-one. He'll just go around and run and do backflips and stuff. but he like hosted an NFL game Friday night week one like they hired him to do like a Chiefs Chargers stream and it was him

he probably made just Google it I don't know 44 million subscribers Google what he made last year he's worth 30 million 20 years old oh my gosh yeah he's a kid so he did go to Shug's Backels

took a tour of a couple fraternity houses at SMU and then it was Time to head north for his second stop in Frisco at Dude Perfect. Tyler and Speed faced off in a three-point content. Anyways, I don't know. I don't have to do the rest of this. I'm just...

Do you know Kai Sinat? I've heard that name. What is it? Young black kid who's also a streamer who gets like... He had Kyrie on. He's had... Dude, I don't know. These guys have the biggest names in the world on.

And I don't personally find it that entertaining, but I'm not, it's not for me. People die. Do people line up like this guy? These guys are in the Beatles. I've never seen anything like it. IRL stream in Poland, part three, six hours long. Oh, he'll go, he'll go 18, 24 hours of just him streaming. They'll buy, they have a house, right?

They get a house, so they get a bunch of their minions in there and put them on. payroll to do all sorts of dumb stuff so yeah this is the bit should you text the girls what do you know about I show speed

okay because he was definitely cool three years ago I think you're going to get made fun of well that would that that'll be what she tells me yeah I think so let's see here

this is a this is a fun one A new report by the CDC, for whatever that's worth, is raising awareness about a disease spread by the kissing bug. It's a blood-sucking insect. Oh, I thought it was the... What is the kissing disease? Mono. You ever have that? That's what I thought this story was going to be about when I got it.

No. No, that was a big deal when somebody got mono at my high school. You'd be like, yeah, way to go, dude. You've been kissing? Oh, yeah. They'd be out for like a month. It's a scarlet letter, dude. No, I wanted it.

Chick with Mono, it's like chum in the water, dude. When she comes back, it's... Texas is one of the places where human cases of this kissing bug disease has been found. It's very popular in Latin America, but we are right in the wave. They suck blood from, infected animals, and then they become infected with it, and then they bite you.

So look beyond the lookout. For a bug? For a bug. But it's not, it doesn't have anything to do with kissing, which again is kind of what I was thinking when I initially fired that one up. Blake, did you ever watch American Pickers? No. Clayton must have. What did they pick?

I dabbled. Strawberries and such? Did you? I'm not proud of it. No, own it, buddy. No, when it first came on, I thought it was kind of cool. It was during the, there were probably like spin-offs and copycats, damn. But it was basically the show where they would go to storage units.

Oh, I watched storage wars. They'd go to, like, old. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. It would try to find, like, old farmhouses and stuff like that and try to. And then, of course, you know, they had a hot that worked at their main office thing, which was probably part of the draw. Was she the wife of the guy or no? The guy's name was Mike Wolf.

No. Okay. Hot goth, Dan. Yeah, she was. Hot goth. Yeah. Just being goth is kind of hot. Very voluptuous.

That was an era, dude. I feel like Kat Von Dee had a lot to do with it. Jesse James whole bit. Pickers? American Pickers? Well, the remaining surviving member of American Pickers. was hospitalized in a gruesome car crash over the weekend. But the main reason I wanted to do this story is this guy's name is Mike Wolf.

He's 61. He's known as the host of American Pickers. He was involved in this car accident with his girlfriend. Her name is Letitia Klein, and she's hot as hell. This looks like the sort of pull that Leonardo DiCaprio would have, and I went and looked up what else this guy's done. It's just American pickers. And there's all these photos of him.

Like, was this guy famous? The show had a pretty good rise probably 10 years ago. And they even opened up, like, stores and like tourist places, Nashville, where you could. Yeah, they, he had shut down the last store when the other guy died last year. Yeah. The other guy died, you know, was a normal death. I don't know. I guess I just didn't know that you could get it like that from reality TV.

Like, what do you think Mike Roseworth? You remember him then? You ever get into dirty jobs? Oh. I feel like Bob certainly booked Mike Rowe at some point. I've met him. To the surprise of no one. Like, I wonder if he was just banking.

I never thought of him as a guy who's like, oh, Mike Rose at the top. of the entertainment heap here, but... Yeah, that chick's 30 years younger than him, right? Yeah. And pretty hot. So, you know, Dizzy TV goes, right? Mm-hmm.

You may be able to get that second wife. The bar's a lot lower than we thought if the American takers guy is crushing. All right, there's your news. Oh, I got to stop looking at that. The dumb zone news. The thing is, the job.

No. Well, we got these trains, though. What if they hit each other? That's awesome. On this day in 1971, Robin Yunt's brother, Larry, was an Astros rookie. He makes his Major League debut.

He goes out there to warm up. His first warm-up pitch. He hurts his arm, and he has to come out of the game. Get him next time, Larry. He never got another chance at the big leagues. He is the only pitcher in Major League history to be credited with one pitching appearance without facing a batter.

That's incredible. On this day in 1997, Google.com is registered as a domain name. I don't know why they called it that. I should know that, right? Doesn't Google mean like infinity or something? Okay. Isn't it some number term?

No one here knows? Clayton, you're my hope. My only hope is Clayton. Book man. On this day in Dumb Zone history, September 15. On this day in 2021, we had A.J. Galante on. Is that name ring a bell? No.

Yes. He was in a, there was a documentary about a minor league hockey team that was run by a teenager because his Tony Soprano dad, who was in the trash business and in the mafia, bought his son a youth hockey team when he was like 17. And it was an insane story and the kid was awesome. What were they called? Trashers. Trashers. I think they were the Trashers. Yeah, the Danzbury Trashers.

Dan'sbury Trashers. But even talking to him, like, he wanted to sign Sean Avery. Like, he was the GM. He was just getting guys who could fight. Yeah. And they were pretty good. It's just a dream come true, dude. He's 17.

You're running a minor league team while your dad's away for prison for mob stuff. He just saw a slap shot. Yeah. Yeah, he's a big fan of Mighty Ducks. He played PlayStation with the players. And then for his birthday party, he had the rock and triple H come. Like, he was living the dream. Imagine little Clayton.

If the rock and triple age show up. Let's see, Norm McDonald did just die, so we were doing a lot of that. And then this was after week one of the 2021 season, the Cowboys barely lose to the Buccaneers. Oh, it was Super Bowl for me at that point. Fresh off, the Bucks had just won the Super Bowl. They lost 3129. Dack tells Tom Brady at midfield, we'll see you in the playoffs. they did not they did not no uh but that game really really made me think things were added in

the right direction yeah and then in 2022 micah started skipping undisputed and that was pretty funny that's one of the funniest things he's ever done just committed to do a show with skip bailers and then it's like i don't want to do it we lost i don't want we lost i'm out other birthdays today We have actor Brad Leland is 71. He is from Friday Night Lights. Friend of bad radio, right? And we know him.

Yeah, I met him. Rangers' Fantasy Camp. No, it was at Cash Soroy's house. The Soroyes know him. I can't remember what the deal was there. Oh, it was because we were in some kind of a little movie together. Oh, yeah. The Soroy's Soroy was in it, and I can't remember what I played.

That big deal. many roles. It's tough to remember. You know, it's just in a movie. Was that love interest? Was that an action hero? Who can recall? Jason Terry, 48. All-time big balls. I'd love to... How about that he got the Larry O'Brien?

Didn't he get that tattoo when he went to Boston? Or no, he got it... Did he get at the beginning of the year in 2011? Yeah, that was the first one. Okay, then he went to Boston. I don't count. Don't care. Bob Ortegal is 85. Stop stamping around like you're catching AIDS back there. Was he fired in 2011 the same year?

Bob. That sounds right. Terry McLaren is 30. I don't have the AIDS thing. But I have him with Norm. I don't want to make this plain that this next question comes from this next. Also, focus, like, talking is hard. We do a poor job of it a lot of time.

The third level bit, if you're a ticket insider here, is you're a really good friends with him. Well, why do you say his name like that? I want to make this plain that this next question comes from, this next and the final question comes from me to my friend Bob article. I've known you for a long time. You are old school and you believe in the good soldier approach to all this. I know I did a job for 15 years here and loved it. and then it killed me

didn't get to continue doing it in another sport and it hurt does this hurt Bob? Yes does it hurt? Oh yeah it hurts of course

yeah I mean I'm not going to be in denial about this thing I don't know is that the one I because I would edit that Oh yeah Now and again, like to throw in some more silence. This is the real.

I had one that was like a minute. You did. My favorite part is when Bob says it hurts, no one goes, yeah. Oh, yeah, it hurts. Of course. Yeah, I'll bet it does. But if we could find the rest of the drop box,

you guys have article catching aids? Just search catching aids. Dan Marino is 64 Dan Marino Ernest Biner is 63 Dan Pete Carroll is 74 Yeah I don't know what they're doing

That's Shottie's connection How'd they do yesterday? They played a night Late game Oh who do we got? Double header right? Yeah, Buck's Titans and Chargers Raiders

Everyone's wives favorite The Monday double header right out of the game bucks titans that doesn't make it excuse me bucks texans oh okay let's see i think baker's getting three and a half or is it three depends i've seen two and a half to three and a half giving baker what are you insane what you just put the money in our pocket dude from what i saw from that i hires ohio state kid last week they're gonna like that shit up i don't know if they i don't know much about their defense The receiver? Yeah, dude.

That guy's a problem if he's out there with Mike Evans. And they're getting Godwin back. He's not back tonight, is he? No. But at some, you should sprinkle some Baker MVP. Hmm. Don't mind if I did. What are the odds right now?

I was thinking about Micah. When you get past. Getting a little Micah defensive player of the year. I don't, I mean, I don't know what the odds are, but you seem to think that was a lot. long shot. I don't think that's going to be a long shot. It can't be a long shot. He's going to have top eight. And

outside of Lamar and Josh Allen, if they don't win it, who is it? You're right. It is Baker. Plus 2,500. I mean, the truth is right now, the best quarterback in the NFL through two weeks has very clearly been Dak Prescott.

Very clearly. Mike, is this thing on? Tom Hardy is 48. Actor. Heidi Montag is 39. Reality personality. Wasn't she, she was the,

was she with Hank Basket? No. I'm thinking of somebody different. Oh, no, she was like in the hills or something. The gribble thing. Baker right now, number one in the NFL and QBR. Now he's played one game. But his first week was that good.

Actor Ben Schwartz is 44. He is John Ralphio on Parks and Rec. A subpar show overall compared to 30 Rock But he was very good And our dumb's own birthday of the day is John Bradley Actor, he is 37 He was Samwell John Bradley

In Game of Thrones Born on this day now dead Give me a year he lived Marco Polo Oh God I don't I mean It could be BC dog

I don't have any idea yeah feels romey give me like give me why don't you go first what Marco Polo year he's alive there's like 70 of them 70 to choose from 1664 I'm gonna go 1,400 uh 1280 he was alive he was alive from 1254 Oh, wow. Okay, that's good. And I don't even feel bad about mine. I thought Blake was going to come in and be like 1850 and be right.

That would have been embarrassing. Well, I always play along at home, and I always go, like, I never, I like way, I don't know. Yeah. I got inside my own head. It's how it works, man. When the lights are on. Yeah, he goes. I know.

Yeah, I probably know where all these. I don't know anything. I usually do a lot better. Galileo, easy one. And dead on this day, still dead. I don't know. There's nothing good here. Oh, geez. Some guy from Pink Floyd.

Huh? Me? I thought somebody said something to me. Is that okay? All right. Well, I just kind of peered out there. That's what happened. Nothing from Pink Floyd.

On this day in history. I'm saying you guys don't care about Richard Wright, and I don't even know who that is. Yeah, I know the big ones. Yeah. Anyway. I know the partners in Pink Floyd. Right. Closing remarks brought to us by Frankel and Frankel, personal injury attorneys, if indeed you get in an accident.

You're not going to talk to their third string guy. No. You're not going to talk to Richard Wright. You're going to get to talk to Roger Waters. That's right. When you call the Frankles at 817 or 214, and then what? Do you know the phone number to the Frankles, even though you live out of state? Is it all threes?

It is all threes. Very good. Gene Burkette. They are Texas strong. They're located here in Dallas, not just Texas. But they've helped thousands of people, you know, fight those insurance companies, get you what you deserve. So if you have a personal injury and you need them, you know, call Frankel and Frankel. Thank you, Frankl.

Make it the first call. Make sure you're okay. And then with your mangled hand, bang out those threes and you'll get the Frankles on. They bring you Dan Sawyer. hey what's up man a strong name thank you thank you uh i didn't get to pick it out but um you know you got me thinking too dan a couple points number one the whole should i go by daniel maybe i'd be more successful you know maybe i would have no no dan sawyer doesn't work no dan sawyer's kick ass dan sawyer's kick ass dan seattle might okay it's just the syllables

so i should stay the course i feel like dan soyer just rules i think it does in fact i would take that name right now. So would I. It's for sale? I would take it. And I think also you were in the Air Force, so if you were Daniel in the Air Force, but everybody knew, yeah, it's Dan Sawyer. Yeah. You might have made it further had you leaned into

the Daniel thing a little bit, but you're a Dan. Yeah, they make you use your full government name. You don't have a choice, so. You can't be Colonel Big D. No, no. But what's funny is about me being here is something, I think I had booked the sit-in with Blake at this point,

Dan, you brought up something, I want to say it was like two months ago that it's kind of amazing how many people find you guys because of the Cowboys. And like that is this situation right here. I, like, now we're oversaturated with Cowboys talk. I feel like with Sports Talk in general. But like in 2009, when Ben and Skin were with ESPN, that's, you know, the short answer of what led me to hear with you guys today. So obviously followed Ben and Skin the whole way, still follow him. uh love the freak and then you guys were on with what like 15 minutes left for the freak yeah we were

running out the clock four corner and it with dan and jay yeah yeah so that's uh there was okay there's no more freak uh so these guys seem cool so that's awesome he's rocking the cirque shirt yeah yeah love sirroi support the boys love all the sorrows and danny um but yeah uh just in town for a game as i spoke earlier i had seen cowboys games um but i'd never seen them play in person. I'd actually been to the stadium for a tour and was like, hey, you know what? I hit up this man and was like, hey, I'll be in town. Why not? Do you got it? And Blake hooked it up. Are you not from here? No. Oh, okay. So I'm originally from Pennsylvania, but I haven't lived there since I was like 18. So I live in South Carolina, Myrtle Beach. Where in Pennsylvania?

Eagle side, northeastern. This is why he's a Cowboys fan. Yes. He's a Cowboys fan because he grew up in Pennsylvania, and then found that, you know, us through being a cowboy fan for DFW media. A hundred percent. The only thing I heard growing up, like before I had decided to pick a team, and I'm Jake's age. I'm 84. You're what, 85? Yeah. Yeah. So obviously the Cowboys were winning back then. Aikman was my favorite player. And all I heard growing up from my uncles and all them was, you know, F Dallas and I couldn't stand the Eagles. I was like, you know what? I'm going to root for Dallas and it stuck. Many such cases on the East. coast yeah many such cases yes and i love that because i don't know we need a more east coast

like that's a good uh entree point here what did you think of the crowd so we talked a little bit during the break um all right so the experience in general before the game and after the game was incredible like i've been to panther stadium the penn state stadium i've been to a bunch of stadiums unmatched, like the energy before and after. And I thought it was a weird bit that, especially with trading Parsons, that did you think this was weird, Blake, that they introduced the defense for the home opener? That's a shoddy thing. I would have thought, what do you mean?

Bring the offense out. Like, there's more star power to get the crowd going, you know? They haven't done individual starters like that since pre-Garrett, from what I gather. Oh. But for the first time on Sunday, they introduced all 11 defensive starters. So I'd imagine next game it'll be the offense. Yeah. And maybe they're thinking Green Bay will roll out the offense.

You know, because the biggest cheer anybody got was Diggs and Kenny Clark maybe. But, yeah, so then when the game itself happened, again, place is incredible. Yeah, it's a little expensive. You know that coming in. Had a great time. But my observation was, is I was sitting in the lower bowl section, and there was not a lot of energy for an NFL game, especially not a division game. I mean, I've seen the Panthers that are four and seven playing the Falcons,

five, and six, and the place is electric. But as the guy in front of me pointed out, who seemed like he was a season ticket holder, he was like, yeah, look up there, dude. And they're going nuts up there. But the problem is we can't hear them down here. So it is what it is. I understand. I kind of heard that coming in.

But had an amazing time. We'd love to come back and do it again. Glad they won, you know. I was kind of hoping for a blowout. But we didn't get that. If it's not going to be a blowout, you'll take an Aubrey forces overtime with a 64-yard or in a game winner. Oh, yeah. Did you notice this?

There were a ton of people leaving after the Pickens touchdown. Like there are a lot of people left because they thought, oh, cowboys win. And to your point, was it neighbors who had the last touchdown before Aubrey 64? People all around me were out. You know, this is over, this is done with. And I'm like, uh-uh, I flew here from South Carolina. I don't know when I'll ever be here again. I'm staying.

And you got Aubrey. Yeah. Yeah, I thought it got louder. It was the loudest, obviously, in overtime. But even with the people leaving, it seemed like the people that cared and made noise stayed. Yes. And I thought it was actually pretty decent home field advantage there at overtime. 100%.

And I even think, I would say, like, the last two or three minutes of the fourth, the energy picked up. Yeah. So it was great. It was cool. They had that little outdoor area afterwards Not Texas Live But like another area Where they like bands and stuff

Yeah Went over there chilled That was really cool Got to see Sky Mirror Or is it not there anymore I think it's there I think it's What's Sky Mirror

The big piece of art Outside the stadium I was wondering what that was They Jerry paid like $20 million or something It makes no sense Yeah Yeah I was wondering what that was So is everyone

Yeah Yeah. So then from there, like I said, had a beer walk down to the pro shop. I was like, I'm getting an Aubrey jersey and I'm bringing it to the dumb zone tomorrow. It's going to be a great bit. It's going to be awesome. They had like four three Xs left. That was it. But anyways, thank you guys for having me. This was awesome. And one final note, I will say, when you see something in person, it looks different. So I commented when I walked in that I realized how tall Jake was. And the studio is smaller in person. So respect that you sat this close to Charles Haley. Oh, yeah, no. Yeah, you can feel it. Especially when Dan was egging him on towards again. I know it was, yeah, Dan. But that was, I'm looking at this.

I'm like, oh, my God, he was that close to them. Yeah. Big dude, yeah. Dan gave me the, boy, you're taller in person, which literally just means run the ball guy. You seem like way more of a pussy when you talk than when I met you in person. No, no, no. It means you sound as a small weak man.

Not at all. Not at all. But now I see you're. It was a very progressive commercial about Don't Become Your Parents. That's exactly what I did to you. Your dollar. Don't spoil your dinner. Well, thanks for coming up, man.

No, thanks for having me. I had a blast. It's been fun. Adios, mofo. We've got to go before this becomes a zoo. Thank you for watching my video. Subscribe and type for my name if you want to watch more of my video. Break, break, right, right, right, brand.
