It was so hot. Right. We could use some rain, you know? My grass is like, hey. Like, hey, I need some water. Hey, I need some water Hey everybody happy Monday Hey, everybody. Happy Monday. Cowboy Monday.

Lost Monday. Victory Monday. Oh, wait. Victory Plus Monday. There you go. Rush. Lost Monday. There you go. For us. Lost Monday. 5-0. Now seems out of reach.

I thought of you immediately. I started thinking of you in the first quarter. Dude. I was thinking of me in the first quarter. Danny in for Jake today. We will address that in a moment How's that for a tease? I'll stick around

Get that YouTube number We're live streaming It's live stream Monday But we'll also, you know Drop it as a pod We're starting the live stream at 11-ish Maybe even 11-11

In honor of Micah. Unless they trade him and get some draft picks for the future, like they probably should do today. You're giving up on Micah already? It wasn't his fault. I don't know. What did he do? He looked mad Oh okay

Seemed like he cared Oh they tried Okay What was I saying though? Anyway Oh yeah We're live streaming Every Monday

And we're kind of Trying to start A little earlier 11ish Maybe 11-11 So that Why is that? So uh we can drop the epi a little earlier as well so you can make a wish when we start that's right as a kid i always wanted to stay up to 11 11 for some reason and then i never could and now here we are now that

you can you don't that's right I just want to be able to do something When are you going to bed at night? About 11-ish 11, 11.30 Whatever it takes Do you remember him? He was 3 a.m. guy Mm-hmm

Now I'm morning guy, man I'm up and I get more accomplished before 10 a.m. than some people do all day I hate hearing that I know You know what that's from, right? published before 10 a.m. than some people do all day. I hate hearing that. I know. I really hate it when I was a wake-up-at-noon guy.

What? He doesn't know what that's from. He's too young. Farmers? No, it was a military armed forces ad for, I think, Marines. Be a Marine. We do more by 10 a.m. than most people do all day. Yeah, that's not impressive to me.

That's where that's from. Now you're just wasting the rest of your day. Golfing. I'll catch up. What time did you wake up today, Dan? Six? Yeah, around there, 6, 6.30. And then I lay in bed for another hour.

Doing what? Because I cannot wake up or get out of bed until 8 hours hits. So if I go to bed at 11.15, I will get out of bed. I can't get out of bed until 7.15. But I will wake up at like 6. So I have to stay in bed because in my head I need to be laying in a bed for 8 hours. And then I have time to do Words with Friends

and Letterboxd. You're still playing Words with Friends. Every morning. Who are you playing with? There's like 3 people on that app still. You, Ty Walker, and who else? And Sturm. Are you still playing with Sturm? I got some people that I play.

And everything else that you're playing with? You don't need to know. He does Immaculate Grid, I think. Are you still doing Duolingo? No, I've fallen off that. I'm not going to France anymore. He's learning French. Oh, my God.

So Immaculate Grid. I don't know how to pronounce French words. What's the New York Times one that they bought? Wordle. Wordle. I do the Wordle stuff. I do Wordle, Connections, the one I just mentioned, Letterboxd. That's my favorite one.

Okay, I don't know what that is. And then the other one. Yeah, I just do all these things. Yeah, those things take all these things and then, you know, those things take me 15 or 20 minutes. Do you do those out of habit or do you do it on purpose because you're getting older and you want to keep your brain active

and see how engaged and alert and smart you are at 7 in the morning? I don't know. I just do it. I do them every day. I do all the New York Times ones every morning. I don't like to I just do it. I do them every day. I do all the New York Times ones every morning. I don't like to evaluate why I do things. Well, because you're walking and staying fit,

and I figured you were trying to do the same for your mind. I don't know about that. He's got a point. If you don't use it, you lose it. I don't want to hear that either. Especially if you don't use it, you lose it. I don't want to hear that either. Especially if you don't use it before 10 a.m. And most Mondays we're going to try and broadcast from our DZTV studios, where we are today.

Maybe you'll see this on DZTV tonight. Hey, Channel 27 people. They're pretty happy with us so far. They said, I don't know what it means, they said we were trending on their app. So if you go to the TV, your smart

TV, if you don't have an HD TV, this is not for you. But if you have one of the HD TVs that all the kids are into these days, on there, they will have apps and you download, it's called Fox local.

And then you could see all of our shows on there and you don't have to just sit and wait for 9 PM Monday through Friday on channel 27. Okay. That answers a question that was in the, uh, the Facebook group for you guys. What are you answers a question that was in the Facebook group for you guys. What are you doing? You're looking at the Facebook group?

I try to stay engaged with people that decide to choose to spend their time with what's going on here. It's the least you can do is get on there and, I don't know, interact and answer some questions. And read why we suck. I don't need anybody to tell me why I suck. I'm fully fucking aware of why I suck. And I'm sure you guys are too,

but somebody was asking, is there a way to see these without, you know, having to watch it live? And you answered that question. Good job. I've already interacted with our YouTube commenters this morning. What are you guys doing?

Nothing. Playing Wordle. I'm just sitting here. Yeah, I don't know. I guess I'm just preparing the entire show, but you do your, oh, let's comment. Let's look at what a comment guy said.

So, yeah. This is what he really thinks about you guys, so keep that in mind. I'm a man of the people. That's why you're here. We need a conduit to the people. To the people. So, yeah, you can load up that Fox Local app, and then you can see stuff that's going on like in Cleveland, Fox Cleveland.

But you don't want to do that. You might. You want to see what's going on at Fox Dallas. And then you click on there. You scroll down a little bit, and there, look at that. Your boys. Look at that. Your boys. Look at that. There's the interface.

And I think they're changing the verbiage on there. It'll be from Dumb Zone TV to DZ TV. We're really making strides. Really making strides. And I like the DZ TV thing, because I think we can now apply for credentials. Yeah. As DZTV. That's a good point. Part of the Fox 4 family.

Okay. Now we've made it. Yeah. Well, I don't know what that means. Go to the mailbox for your made it check. Well, you go to yours for your trending check. Yeah, we're trending on the Fox local app And yeah, I'll cash that

We'll hand that in for rent In studio today We have a sausage party at this point We have Brian Bowe Brian Bowe Is a man in a band Good morning, yes, I'm in a band. What is this band?

They're called Restos. Restos? Mm-hmm. And you have sent us your song, a song, newest release. It came out a year ago. Just go with me. God damn it. Yes, and?

We do have a song coming out on Thursday Oh really? Yeah Well you sent us a previous song that you released I did And I had my daughters review it I cannot My daughters are well known as the roast twins

They are So pumped Very high teens Oh I think one's 20 now So anyway They are so pumped. Very high teens. Oh, I think one's 20 now. So anyway, the point is they love to rip anything they see. But maybe they'll love your song. And we will play that for people later after we talk some cowboys.

Also in studio, we will have Brad Alberts. He is the Dallas Stars president and CEO. And he is the guy behind Victory Plus, the newest streaming bit. In a world of streaming bits, man, when we stepped into streaming bits, no one was doing it. Nope.

Now, oh, these guys are doing it? Well, let's start up. What is the all-city thingy? And then Dallas Stars are like, man, these guys, they really know their stuff. Why don't we do a streaming bit? So now the Dallas Stars are doing it. Everyone else seems to be doing better than us, though. Oh. Well, we're just IDMM.

We're not, we don't know how to implement things. Win, win, win. Dan, I'm about to bring something to your attention. That when you... I think you'll agree with me, and once you see it, you won't be able to think of anything else for the rest of this show. Okay. Who does Brian resemble if he had bigger teeth?

Slightly bigger teeth. I don't know. You don't think he looks like Shane from The Shield? Walt Goggins? A little bit, yeah. Quite a, I mean, maybe it's the angle that I'm sitting at, but it's pretty uncanny. I don't know if I've gotten Walt Goggins before.

Do you know who Walt Goggins is? Oh, yeah, absolutely. You never got that before? Uh-uh. He's got giant, he's got a mouthful of oh yeah of peppermint chiclets he does for teeth we just watch you don't have that fallout yeah he looks all did you have you watched fallout that new amazon show no is that a video game movie yeah I haven't seen it he's all aliened up in it okay he looks all crazy he's great yeah he Yeah, he's awesome. I just completed

watching The Shield from beginning to end and it took me about four weeks. So yeah, he's on top of mind. That seems like binging to me.

It was hardcore binging. Because that's a lot of episodes. Seven seasons, man. Were you pleased with the re-watch? Yeah. Because we talked about a couple of weeks back,

I don't know, Jake brought it up or something, and I'm like, I wonder if that holds up. And I said, you know what, I'm going to watch the pilot tonight just to see. And Saroy said he was going to do it too. And I started the pilot, and I did not stop until family meeting. We all know what happened in that, right, Dan? Yeah. That's the greatest episode ever.

Yeah. Funny. Funny. Yeah. Should we spoil it and say what happened or no? Just let people find out. I don't know. Let them find out. I think you should, yeah, just let them find out.

It's almost as funny as the one with Dutch and his cat. That one, that's high comedy. That will cause you to full release. Yeah. Lim with the grenade was laugh out loud. That was some LOL TV right there, right? Yeah. But yeah, The Shield, a show from 22 years ago.

Give it a try. Yeah, kids. It held up. It's super high tea and you have to suspend disbelief, but all in all, man, that is a damn good program. That's some good police stuff. So later this week, are we still selling tickets to the Ranger game that we are at or no? We are not.

So you can't get special dumb zone tickets? No, but I have seen a couple emails from people that have tickets and can't go anymore. So if you need a ticket, hit us up. Oh, look, you're asking for more people to email you. You've got enough on your mind. I need to learn.

Yeah. What's the show emailed? TheDumbZone at gmail.com. The Dumb Zone at gmail.com. We're in Gmailmail now bros someone someone a lot someone's screaming dumb zone hotmail got gmail what's that someone stole the dumb zone hotmail that's why we couldn't use it yeah um and then come sunday one week from yesterday we will be doing our first cowboy watching live stream from my studio high atop my garage.

My little den. My little sanctuary. Where in the past nobody was allowed to go. And now 15 people per weekend will go there. Not every week. We're not go there. Not every week. We're not going to do it every week, but we did release our eight-game schedule, and the first game is going to be Sunday, the 325 slot slit. We got TB and KB and EA and TR.

Right. Have to take off your shoes. Yeah. Have to take off your shoes. Yeah. Have to take a, well, you don't have to. But. But most people have adhered to doing that. What's wrong with taking off your shoes?

Just go into a bathroom, stand at the urinal, look at how, what's under your feet, and then go, oh, do I want to walk this through my house? Yeah. Now, if you do, cool. Probably want to help build up immunity.

Wait a second. It's still going to be on your feet. He's saying he doesn't want the urinal stuff to be in his house because you track it in. What if they use your urinal? No, I don't have a urinal like here at the building we're at. We have a hanging urinal. And there's always, there is inevitably something under it. Yeah, there's stuff that you're...

So you get to my garage, you take off your shoes, and now you walk in the house. Okay, you're talking about outside urinal, but what if somebody goes to your bathroom and then they... No one's peeing on the floor in my bathroom. It splatters everywhere if you're standing up. Well, who stands up? What kind of an ogre would stand up? I think most men stand. Oh. Well, it

doesn't splatter. It's splatterproof. My toilet's splatterproof. I don't stand at my own house. Plus I have shag carpet in my You're a sit-down guy too? Only in my own home, but if I'm at Dan's, I'm pissing all over the walls. Smearing stuff on the mirror. I go crazy at his bed. Well, anyway, we're doing a stream.

And we're- Said all that to say that. Yeah. We could do a quick, oh, and these guys, so you got a couple of your bros in here, or do you know them? No. Okay. Their names are Jason and Carrie.

They're in the studio as well with Brian Bowe. And a lot of small talk before the show, as usual, which is fine. That's what we're here for. We're very personable. Everybody loves just talking to us about things. And no one said, hey, where's Jake? Did you find that odd? You guys don't care.

Because if the thought is that nobody cares, then we won't even bring it up. I was pleasantly surprised to see Danny because I haven't seen him in. Been a long time. 20 years. Yeah. Yeah. 12 years. Yeah, at least.

15, 16, 17, something like that. You and Shane have been together? Or Uncle Baby Billy? Uncle Baby Billy. Yeah. You know, the funny thing about that show, and this is probably why this band doesn't exist anymore, was we left our merch table open,

and people were putting cash in, and I walked over there, and you looked at me like, hey, dude, there's $400 here. You may want to take it. I was like, oh, shit. Thanks, man. I appreciate it. And that's the first time I think we met

is you were giving me a ton of cash. We could have just not met and I would have had $400. I know. I was very. The way things have been going lately, I regret that decision. In a hot tub with your soulmate Had you done that

Making love all day long With my $400 So where is Jake? I don't know All that build We might talk about it a little more tomorrow We'll have more time Because we got stuff to do today

But He is gone clearly and still alive probably but jake is uh not going to be here for the next couple of weeks that's all we can say and wow we can say like everybody, people I know are asking me, like, hey, what's up with Jake? I go, it's personal. And that is a force field. That is like nobody, you're kind of stuck after that. Like, I hate it when sports teams do this. Like, so-and-so's not with the team right now.

Why not? Personal reasons. Well, what kind? Personal. New baby? Personal. Personal.

Like, that could be so many different things. But that's all I got for you right now. I can't, we can't say. You can't even tell me? I cannot. But I can tell you it's. I can't. We can't say. You can't even tell me? I cannot. But I can tell you it's personal.

Is it Cowboys related? Personal. So. He needs two weeks to recover from that loss yesterday. Yeah. I mean. He was on last Monday. Yeah.

Perhaps. Again. We invite you to wildly speculate. In fact, Jake would like that. Okay. That's what he would want. Okay. He would want you to go to Reddit

and throw out your craziest theories. Yep. And then when he does come back, then we can evaluate all these possibilities. And then, possibly, you could step in a big bear trap. But isn't that part of the fun? Isn't that part of the fun of wildly speculating that, man, I might really regret what I'm putting out here?

Or you could be exactly right. Or you could be exactly right. See how fun this is? You could think, boy, this is a bear trap, but then it's actually not. It turned out to be true. And when this seat is filled by its normal occupant in a couple of weeks and we get introduced to the Dan and Jacqueline show, all of your suspicions may have been right.

I hadn't even thought of that. That's a good one. She was built like a fire hydrant. That's really personal. It's very personal. That would be very personal. He wouldn't go Jacqueline. He just wouldn't change his name to that, you're saying?

Like you could see him doing the whole thing. I think he'd pick a pretty name. I think we probably should refer to him as they from now on because we just don't know when the procedure's happening. They are either on one side of the fence or the other, so let's not dead name prematurely. And we can check a box with DEI.

That's right. That's what we're trying to be more diverse. That's right. That's great. That's one thing we did take from the corporate world. Be more diverse. Yep. Have training.

Clearly with three white guys on your screen. See, that's why it is cool if Jake's here, because he's a little darker shade. You might not know at times. He's a little olive-y. He's olive-skinned. Yeah. Yeah. I look like...

But at least we have a very diverse guest in the studio today. What's that? I said at least Brian is a very diverse guest. He's way out there. You never know what he is. So I'm going to do like a very

quick weekend check and I should say it's brought to us by ProSlat. Yeah, look behind you. ProSlat, they hooked up this wall, like they made this wall. They built this wall. Mexico paid for it. Actually, I don't know who paid for it. I hope it wasn't us.

I don't think it was us. I think ProSlat said, hey, we're going to just show you how awesome our walls are. What they do is they renovate garages. They will be your, you know, somebody who is going to make your garage something you can actually be proud of. Let's see. I got some copy points here. 52% of homeowners want to have a garage their neighbors envy I do me too like there's nothing better I got a buddy who's got the best garage ever and I'm like man I would I would marry him

when you drive through the alley and the person's just getting home from work and you don't know their garage scene and they happen to have their door open and you look in and you're like, damn it, it's perfect. And then you see mine that's basically a storage unit. I want that. 55% of homeowners use their garage as their house's main entryway. I feel like that's low. Yeah. I do.

Same. Have you ever gone into my house a different way? No. It's the way we go in. Like if the garage broke, I wouldn't even know how to get in the car or in the house. I would probably have to throw a big brick through one of the windows and then dive in

and do a roll. Also, the garage has become a dumping ground for all things banned from the house. So, like, if you have a two-car garage, you might be able to put one in it. A lot of people, though, don't even fit one in there. And that's like the way we are. Just parked in the driveway. The garage is never used for an automobile because there's so much crap in there, Blake. But 89% of garage owners would like to improve their garage space.

That's where ProSlat comes in. Take a look at that wall. You can hang stuff on it. If you get yourself a Lone Star beer sponsorship, you can hang this sign right on there. They have cool clamps, too, and hooks and stuff. Very easy to put up. Get yourself a baker fathead. You can put that up there, too, which we're going to do.

We don't have to prove that. So anyway, now nowhere on the copy sheet does it say their website. What's the website? Oh, Danny figured this out. It's proslat.com. How about I just? We're doing, like, I said this last week. Yeah, yeah.

Nobody fixed it. No, I did. I looked it up. I tested it out. It's proslat.com. Proslat.com. Okay, proslat. Yeah, say it with me, Dan.

Proslit. Proslat. Proslat.com. Okay, pro. Uh-huh say it with me, Dan. Pro-slit. Pro-slat. Pro-slat. Dot com. Okay, pro. Uh-huh. P-R-O. Yep, slat. Slat.

Dot com. So go there. That sounds really dirty. Badass garages on here, man. Quick weekend check, at least for me. I will tell you that this is totally a very quick hit. You don't care what else I did, but it's halftime of the Chiefs game yesterday.

And I'm flipping around, actually just kind of looking at the YouTube TV. What else is that? Oh. It said Dallas Wings versus Indiana. Isn't that Kaitlyn Clark's team? It is. Turned it on.

Was locked in. She's awesome. It's amazing. Like she's running circles around. It's really weird. Women's basketball, at least there was two women on there at least that look like, you know, your low-level college basketball teams that will have, like, a couple out-of-shape guys?

Like, there's a couple out-of-shape ladies on the team. But then she's just, she's insanely good. Like, have you ever just sat and watched a Kaitlyn Clark game? Yeah. Okay. I thought it was awesome. I want to see her when she comes insanely good. Like, have you ever just sat and watched a Caitlin Clark game? Yeah. Okay. I thought it was awesome. I want to see her when she comes to town. Maybe I'll bring flowers and candy.

Yeah. I watched Slick My Hair Back. About a quarter and said to myself, okay. Yeah, all right. Well, it was fun to watch. Look, I'm not going to get locked in. I'm not going to go searching their games. But if it's halftime of a Chiefs-Bengals game and you happen to see Caitlin Clark is on the TV,

I highly recommend spend your 10 minutes watching that. How much of the third quarter of the football game did you miss? None. I went back to the game. So you're like, I watched 10 minutes. I'm just saying. That's what I'm trying to say. so you can watch 10 minutes I'm just saying that's what I'm trying to say it was a fun 10 minutes and how much of that was actual play

I'm sure they had to go to break too no man timeouts I'm just telling you he didn't watch that much of it what I saw was great three transitions that was it I thought we're done talking about transitions. Right.

My son learned a new word yesterday. Thanks to our good friend Skin. So the word of the day my household was shit. Has yours picked that one up yet? No. Cock. has yours picked that one up yet um no he's got other ones okay um do perfect i'm trying i'm trying i'm trying to tell him i'm saying ah damn it instead of god damn it. Instead of God damn it? Yes. Yeah. So, ah, damn it is what we're saying. Yeah, I tried to tell my kid that I'm saying funky.

Yeah, because he asked the other day, he asked if I was going, are you going to change my fucking diaper? Jesus. Like, you mean your funky diaper? And he goes, no, my fucking diaper. So he knows that. Skin calls me when we're driving around and i see it's him plop it up on the bluetooth i tell him immediately skin you're on the phone live with three and a

half year old malcolm in his car seat and they know each other he loves skin he's like hi skin not even 20 seconds into the conversation he's just using the word shit as a, you know, punctuator, descriptor, whatever, adjective. And Malcolm goes, why did you say shit, skin? And then he said it again, so it just reinforced that it was fine

so the rest of the day. Yeah, that guy's a bad influence. Yeah, and so when I dropped him off I wouldn't allow skin anywhere near my kids. So I dropped him off at mom's. I wouldn't allow skin anywhere near my kids. So I dropped him off at mom's. I asked him, I go, Malcolm, what word did skin teach you today? And he looked right at her and he goes, shit.

So. And she looks at you. Oh, dude, he learned all the other ones from her. Yeah, we talked about this. Yeah, she's vulgar. Vulgar, nasty woman. Anyway, that was my weekend. I want you to know I've had my share of mess-ups too.

Blockchain calm. What? I can't help myself sometimes. Yeah. I was asked to work production for a college football game that I sure really said no to. But I was helping out a buddy, and I ran a board for the first time in, I think, a decade.

So there's a production company out of Las Colinas. They needed a board op, and I ran the Florida State-Memphis game from a studio. And I don't know. I never ran the board at the ticket, and I never had to do any of that, but it was kind of cool kind of going back to, like, the grassroots or whatever. Like, this is where people start. If you never ran a board at the ticket, how did you figure this out?

Did you have previous experience doing it? I kind of just get it. It's not that tough. No. It looks tough. Yeah. When the whole, like,

yeah. Just learning the technical stuff. Yeah. There's a lot of buttons and whatnot, but I don't know. It was kind of cool. I think I, we've all talked about this.

I enjoy being busy. And so I like that. Hey, we need this highlight right now. We got to go to commercial right now. We need this. And it's just like kind to go to commercial right now. We need this. And it's just like kind of an organized chaos back there. It was kind of fun.

You did this Saturday? Yeah. Cool, man. How was your Friday night gig? It was good. We won. Well, play by play? They won.

I was there. Yeah. No, just engineer, keep stats, produce, board up, the whole nine yards. Everything behind the scenes, but call the game. That was cool. You ever call a game? Yeah, I will. I thought you did. For football, I do for basketball.

For football, I don't like to because there's too much going on behind the scenes. Have you guys ever reviewed Blake's play-by-play? No, it's not bad enough. Like, it's good. It's normal. Really? Yeah, it's solid. That's not fun.. Like, it's good. It's normal. Really? Yeah, it's solid. That's not fun.

You know? That's good. He doesn't abbreviate names, and he doesn't... Plays it pretty straight. I don't say hezzy. Yeah, no, it's not like... Rap lines. No, it's actually solid, and it's the way you should do play-by-play,

and we don't usually... That's not the kind of audio we do. We want you to suck. So it's unfortunate. It's unfortunate that Blake is just so talented. Mm-hmm. From the wonderful world of sports, radio sports, scoreboard. Oh, yeah, I like that. Now, you know who does abbreviate words?

That would be Kevin Brohard. Berkey. KB. T-B-E-A-T-R. We're on the cast, the B cast. For Cowboys v. Saints, Derek Carr came in with his eyeliner and his little scrappiness and his little man syndrome-ness. Doesn't he just look like he's got that? His wrist tattoos.

And it's the Cowboys home opener. And, man, we were all flying so high after the destruction of Cleveland. And we certainly, I think the Cowboys might have done what we did, kind of looked at the Saints, what they did last week, and said, well, who did they play? Oh, it was Carolina. Arguably the worst team in football. The worst, according to Chappie, right?

Yeah, they proved it again on Sunday. Yeah, they got rolled again by, who was it, the Chargers? No one knows the answer to that question. Yeah, okay, nobody really knows who they were able to play. But anyway, I feel like the combination of that and all the, oh, man, losing Dan Quinn, no big deal at all. Look at the, in fact, it's probably even better. You got Mike Zim. You got Zim. Look at how he's doing stuff with Micah.

And, boy, he's... He gave the keys to the defense to Micah. Yeah. Heard that twice from Aaron, right? And then, man, they got punched in the mouth, and they never got up, like right away. And it was... I don't know, it seemed like everybody, it was as stunning as the Green Bay playoff game.

Just to not even, the thought is that you're just not even ever in the game. And as this is unfolding and as it, you know, the way it plays out, I think there's some serious questions with this Dallas Cowboys team now. Or was it an anomaly? Could be an anomaly. I mean, like San Francisco lost to Minnesota this weekend. They also lost to Minnesota last year. And what's weird about that is it's Sam Darnold, and I'm sure they underestimated Sam Darnold.

But also they're missing Christian McCaffrey, who is kind of the guy on their offense that everything revolves around. And they were also in the game, like it was a game. They actually kept their starting quarterback in for the whole game, whereas it was Cooper rush time yesterday. There were upsets yesterday, but they were close upsets. If you can have an upset this early in the season. I think it's too early to tell whether you should be worried or not.

It could be this is the way modern NFL games go sometimes. And you look back. Now, where it can hurt them is later on. And I felt it was last year, the way they got beat up by the Cardinals early in the season. You're like, this is going to affect them. That's a loss that they're going to carry with them the entire season. And it kind of played out that way that they were stuck with a wild card bid. But I don't know.

It's too early, I think. Are the Cowboys that bad? No. Is New Orleans that good? Probably not. But just a strange confluence, the way it all came together. And look, you know what? One thing that I've thought about,

like Dan doesn't believe in momentum. You know what I don't believe in? There's no such thing as halftime adjustments. They don't exist. Because the Cowboys went in, and by all intents and purposes, that game was over at half. Unless they can make some halftime adjustments and find themselves,

and they arguably played worse in the second half than they did in the first. Yeah, with the technology they have, I think that's overblown. I think your adjustments are series to series now. I agree with that. I think you're just going in there to get a blow and some water and get back out there. Yeah, maybe talk with the coaches maybe. Right. Yeah, we never hear players, hey, we really rallied together at halftime,

changed the way we did things. You don't really hear that anymore. To me, I thought week one was kind of deodorant for the Cowboys. This was the more, because coming into it, we thought, well, the Cowboys couldn't stop the run last year. What did they do to improve? Well, not much. Brought in a couple linebackers.

You traded for a defensive tackle. You didn't really shore that up. You knew they didn't have a running game. They brought Zeke back and really didn't add to that room. So I think those problems that we thought might happen in the offseason came to fruition yesterday. The Cowboys did not get better from last year at all. Who thought they did?

Well, after week one, you thought, maybe the Cowboys are just as good. Even before week one, who thought that the Cowboys, I thought that was kind of like a given that everyone knew that they were not going to be as good as they were or have better personnel than they had last year. Because they don't.

No. I can't remember who said it, but yeah, the Cowboys didn't get better. They got more expensive. Because really, the only thing they did in the offseason was, if you want to say offseason, signed Seedy and signed Dak. That's it.

Oh, and re-signed their long snapper. Yeah, and they let some of that defensive line depth walk. Mm-hmm. A lot of it to Washington, Pat. He was in Washington. They let their running back walk and did nothing to address that. Like they almost added a negative to address that. I know Zeke had an okay game one,

but even they see it, and by game two, they're trying to give you a heavy dose of Deuce Vaughn. And then they didn't address wide receiver either. I think the Saints just did what everyone thought, this is how you start the Cowboys, just double CD. Then what?

Right. So that's my big areas double CD. Then what? Right. So that's my big areas of concern, just what you mentioned. The run defense, running backs, and wide receivers. Because, yeah, I mean, Brady, we'll get into him later, but, you know, hey, look, they're bracketing CD. Where can Dak go? And on the fourth down in the fourth quarter, he went to span forward.

He went to people that I didn't even know were on the team. And that's going to be the problem with this offense. There's no doubt. Spanford. Brevin Spanford. Sounds like a dealership on 183. Is a person to catch passes for the Cowboys. Nothing, Dan? I feel like it's very funny. What do you want me to do? He's a Prosper Ford guy. I am like it's very funny.

What do you want me to do? He's a Prosper Ford guy. I am more into Prosper Ford. Brevin Prosper Ford. Or Grapevine Ford. And Kevontae Turpin, when he's in the game, what's going to happen? He's going to drop the pass. Or he'll get a...

Jet sweep. You know, a sweep. Yeah, that's why he's in there. His size, sometimes he just gets smushed. He's going to get killed. He's going to get hurt really bad. Imagine had he taken that near blindside hit that CD took on the sidelines. He would have gotten killed.

His head would have flown into the stands with the helmet still on it. head would have flown into the stands with the helmet still on it. I thought Brady, we're going to break down Brady and TB, or excuse me, KB a lot. TB and KB a lot tomorrow. But I did think him talking about the Cowboys at the end of the game was interesting. I think on the other side of the ball too if you're dallas yeah you're discouraged that you came out here and obviously played a very poor game but they have a very talented roster they've got a good defense they just got to get the strength of their defense which is their pass rush must pass situation they're not going to face many offenses that have that change

of personnel disruption that causes dallas to be so on their heels. So if they can get that pass rush going, I don't know if Dallas has enough firepower on offense to hang in a high-scoring game. That could be a concern when you go against these better teams. Interesting. That's a great point. The last thing he said I thought was the best. That I don't know that if they get into a shootout, can they go back and forth? And obviously, once you get down a couple of scores,

then you get the thing where the opposing team has their ears pinned back, and it's much more beneficial to a defense to be able to play you if they know you're going to pass. I mean, think about their offense. They have one big play potential guy. And it's CD. Yeah, and he made one.

Maybe. Where would they be without that yesterday? That was the highlight. I mean, Turpin's got speed, but he's a gimmick. He's a gadget. He's a trick play dude. But that running back crew? Oof.

And that's just such a fall from grace because two, three years ago, they were the top five, top three offense in the league routinely under Kellen. And that's where you look at the Eagles said, let's go out and sign Saquon Barkley. Let's go ahead and shore this area up, actually have a part of the team that we made better. Hey, come on in. Yeah, and they had A.J. Brown.

They drafted Devontae Smith. They're not putting all their eggs in one basket like the Cowboys are with C.D. There's not a lot of depth to the offense. Didn't have a fourth-round pick to try and pick a running back. Yeah. Yeah, well, what's their future at running back even? They don't even have that. I don't know, man.

Feeling very negative today. There's a medium here, right? It's never as good or as bad as you think. It wasn't going to be as good as the Browns game. It's not going to be as bad as the Saints game. They're probably somewhere in the middle. But unfortunately, I don't think that middle is a top team in the NFC like it has been for the past five years. Probably not. Are the Saints actually a little better

than we might have thought? And maybe this will come back to Earth, too. They can't be scoring 40 a game, but you know, you got the offensive coordinator from the Shanahan tree, whichever he goes nuts about. love diagramming the shanahan tree that's the newest most fun bit right right now i'm doing a kevin burkhardt right says that a lot he says right so often you really hate kb don't you i I do. I just feel like upon review of game

two of Brady versus game one, I want to hand it to Blake for giving some good points last week. A lot of your blame went to KB instead of Tom Brady.

Just saying, hey, you could have been a better host of Tom Brady. Set me up better. So number one, it was weird because last week they tried to make like, this is the Tom Brady game. This is Tom Brady. I can't believe I'm with Tom Brady. Look at Tom Brady is here. And everything was about Tom Brady game. This is Tom Brady. I can't believe I'm with Tom Brady. Look it, Tom Brady is here, and everything was about Tom Brady instead of about a game.

And then this is the guy who's also announcing it. And then, like you said last week, KB kind of just left him hanging, whereas this week I did think there were a bunch of instances where he would actually help Brady out in a certain way. It started kind of early. Tom, this offensive line with the young guys, the two rookies, they held up all right last night against, last week against Cleveland. I thought they looked pretty good. Cooper Beebe is the center, new center going on the road, did a great job. So that's a little annoying sometimes if you have to keep saying someone's name and then

giving them something to say, because that's because Joe Buck doesn't have to do that. He doesn't have to say, Troy, what about blah, blah, blah. Right. But with week one Tom Brady, apparently you might have needed that. It's on the job training too. And I thought the more he did that, the more then Brady would kind of just take it upon himself to just grab it. Yep, I agree. As the game went on.

I thought he was a lot better yesterday. A thousand percent better. Here's another one. Ice wigged up. Ice wigged up. I love that. It's communication at the line of scrimmage. Here we go.

Here is Elliott. Gets his first carry of the game. Not much there. What is it? Is that always changing the play with all that communication? What's he doing there? Well, I think Dax, what I think he appreciates about this offense is he's got total command up there. And as he's gained knowledge, information, experience, he wants to be in charge.

He gets the final swipe at the pencil. Coach can only call a certain play from the sideline. The quarterback's got to make it right. Some systems, quarterbacks are more in control than others. In this system, Dak wants the control and he has it. Now in that particular one, I thought KB was good because he threw

he followed up on what something that Brady said. I thought his question was great. Now Brady's answer, I don't think really he didn't answer it politician answer yeah he didn't say well what is that but that's what i want to know yeah that's what i said last week i i want to know what does it mean when he's doing that he ended up giving me an answer that i think blake could have provided that tom brady has been on, you know, has been barking out the signal.

So what does it mean? Does it mean this? Does it mean that? That's what I want to know from Tom Brady. Tom answered the wrong question. He answered a question. Kind of got a little generic there. Answered a question that actually wasn't asked.

But it is nice to see a little teamwork, whereas last week it's kind of like if you've never played with Luka and he gets on the court, it can often look like five guys standing around watching Luka. And it seemed like that's what KB was doing last week was, I'm going to do my job and then just kind of sit back and you're Tom Brady. Do Tom Brady things. So this last one I'm going to play for you I thought was the best one that he had. And again, this started with KB. So if KB acted like KB last week, then you wouldn't have got this, I don't think.

But this was after the, was it the first interception where the wide receiver fell down? Mm-hmm. Yeah. So Jalen Brooks, second-year player, trying to get some trust there, and he just slipped. Yeah, just slipped coming out of his break. And that's how fragile these throws can be. You slip a little bit. Ball's actually in a good place for him to catch it.

You make a good read as a quarterback. You make that throw. You're trusting him to come up with it. And he's on the ground. Frustrating for Dallas today for a lot of reasons. Just got to come up with those plays when they're there. That's just a very typical NFL throw and catch. Let me ask you this in that spot.

I'm not saying right now. Young guy, you're trying to get that third receiver, build up his confidence. You go back to him, does that make you trust him less? Not today. It's actually pretty tough to go back there because you know where he's at, and you're saying, God, you go back to him, does that make you trust him less? You know, not today. It's actually pretty tough to go back there because you know where he's at and you're saying, God, I'm going to him and I just can't count on him that he's going to stay on his feet.

He obviously trusts him to do the right thing. Sure. But can he make the play? Ultimately, can we go out there and execute? So he's got to find CeeDee Lamb and they've got to try to find ways because CeeDee's producing at a big clip. You've got to find CeeDee and those got to have its type situations too. I know Dak's looking for him.

Other guys do need to step up. I love it. I don't think I've ever heard a quarterback admit that before. Yeah, that's what I mean. No, I'm not going back to him today. Not today. You've got to earn my trust a little bit, whereas

usually it's uh you gotta get back or just say something generic but there's a thing damn tom brady would just put you on his shit list and that's what you said last week danny he needs to be honest yeah yeah say be transparent tell us bring something surprising this is great i've never heard a quarterback say that and i learned that that that is uh it's not uncommon for a quarterback to not go back to a young player. Typically, they'll tow the company line and, no, I trust all my guys, and you'll get that. But that was new. That was unique. end up in the, I don't know, the Jason Witten career route of color analysis,

knowing how disciplined he is and how much he's going to work at this and get better, in so much that they made a freaking commercial about how hard he works to get better. That was probably not the wisest prediction. You knew he was going to get better. And he was really good yesterday. I mean, solid. Very solid. Yeah.

He belongs on the number one team solid. You know what? I'll say this. I liked him yesterday more than I've liked anything out of Greg the Leg. Yeah. Who whips my nuts i agree really yes yeah i'm not anti-greg but i just don't like tom brady's tom brady i don't like greg the leg's personality maybe that's what it is i'm sure he's fine third leg greg yeah

greg the leg is greg zerline oh yeah third leg greg Greg Zerline. Oh, yeah. Third leg Greg. Was that from his rap career? Yeah. Yeah. Did you put that song in the pre-roll before the show? No, but we should. Yeah. I did not.

Yeah, we could end the show with it. Although I was going to probably end the show with Brian's song. Not the movie. The whole film? Yeah. Jesus Christ. Brian Bowe is here in studio. Brian Bowe is here in studio. Look who else is here in studio. It's Julie Dobbs, everybody.

Julie Dobbs. Hi. Hi, friends. Yeah, you guys can clap for Julie. Thanks, everybody. We have some friends in here, I see. Brian's like, I choose not to clap for Julie. I thought I was the guy on the couch.

What's up? Brian has a song we're going to play for my daughters and see if they like it. Oh, okay. Yeah. For the roast twins. Mm-hmm. You on board with that? See if they roast it. Is there an opposite of roasting if they do like something?

They will never like anything. Well, we'll see. Trust me. All right. They know what their job is. It could be roast or rave. I would be disappointed. Do they roast or do they rave?

This is great. Yeah. Anybody work? We're going to lose out on some comedy if they like it. The rave twins. Yeah. Exactly. But if anybody else, yeah, if anybody wants their business reviewed by my daughters or

something like that, I mean, oh my God, what a great idea. This is untapped potential here. The roast twins at a restaurant. Absolutely. Yeah. Love that. I also thought Brady had a good early point that they never went back to, but I would have if I was them,

that he was talking about the Cowboys' defense early, and it was about that the Saints on offense were using the Cowboys' aggressiveness to their advantage. And I think you saw it on the screen pass that went for forever. Was that the Camara? Yeah, I can't just say the Kamara touchdown. Yeah, which one? He had quite a few of them.

You know the time that he had six touchdowns? Was against Mike Zimmer? Oh, okay. Yeah. He's got his number. So keep that in mind when setting your fantasy lineups. If Alvin Kamara is ever starting against a Mike Zimmer defense. That is number. So keep that in mind when setting your fantasy lineups. If Alvin Kamara is ever starting against a Mike Zimmer defense,

then you should put in Alvin Kamara. Otherwise, you could put him on the bench. But, yeah, so if you saw that play, I mean, they were full head of steam, not paying attention to Alvin Kamara. And it looked very easy. It had to be exactly the way they draw up plays. Because they draw up every play thinking this could score a touchdown. And it never comes close. And then that one did. For like a million yards.

Oh, 57 yards. It wasn't a million. That's ridiculous. I don't even know how long that would be. That'd be a lot of fantasy points. It'd be three times as long as a million feet, right? Yes, Dan. Sweet.

I'm trying to see what else from the game we want to bring out of this. Obviously, you know, as the season goes on, you'll find out, was this an anomaly? Is this something that other teams are able to take advantage of? A couple years ago, that kind of happened. You know, the Denver game of a few years ago reminds me that, oh, now they, you know, the blueprint was out.

But, you know, for all the— like, we knew that they lacked in wide receiver, but we're putting a bunch of money in the quarterback and wide receiver. We knew that their running back sucked, but in this day and age, you can kind of ignore running back. Shouldn't totally ignore it. But the real surprising thing is, of course, the defense giving up, you know, 35 by halftime.

That wasn't supposed to happen. Derek Carr scoring his first six possessions. Touchdowns, not just scoring. It's terrible. What if Derek Carr is reaching that point in the Venn diagram where playing quarterback in the NFL finally makes sense and he just breaks out? diagram where playing quarterback in the NFL finally makes sense. And he just breaks out.

I think we saw your first head coaching hire of the offseason in Clint Kubiak. I mean, his first two weeks, 47 and 44 yesterday. Tied an NFL record. I mean, obviously he's got to put a full season together. But this feels very, let's grab this hot young OC, a part of the Shanahan tree. I think it's either ties or it's the second most points ever scored in games one and two of an NFL season. And one against a defense that allegedly is badass.

And if McCarthy gets the boot. Bringing him over here. Next Cowboys head coach. You're off Dion. You're not on the Dion train anymore? Just based off of this, this was Jerry after the game and in his scrum in the tunnels

when he's looking all pissy down there. I love Jerry after a loss. He's so angry. But this stuck out to me in his post-media scrum because he brought this up. All that's around. The other thing I'd say to you is there's a lot of different identities that can win games.

A lot of different type systems that can win games. That one we played against out there, I'm taken back by it. I'm impressed by it. But I also want to say we're better than we look out there today. So, looked better, but, man, did y'all see the way they ran the ball? How many touchdowns they scored? Ambiguity.

A lot of teams, what did he say? There's a lot of differences. Many different identities can win a game. Is that what he said? Yeah, because somebody, you know, it stems off the question, like, what's this team's identity? Identity theft.

Because what is their identity? But it's very Cowboys to see. Really rich quarterback. See two tight ends working in New England. Oh, we got to do that. Oh, all these other teams are running the Shane Hanna offense. Oh, we got to do that. So I think that's fitting. Yeah. do that. All these other teams are running the Shane Hanna offense. Oh, we gotta do that.

I think that's fitting. Now he's like, maybe we should have addressed running back in the offseason. I don't know. I like Deke. When Jerry says stuff like that, because he doesn't know that this team's a lot better than that. Nobody does. We've seen two games from them. They were quite opposite games, but nobody knows that this Dallas Cowboys team is any good at all outside of that first game. And the second game was absolutely terrible. And the game before that first game was absolutely terrible against the Packers. And the defense was absolutely terrible. And you got worse over the offseason. Why is anybody shocked about any of this? And also,

how can Jerry say, we're better than that? Oh, really, Jerry? You watching practice every day? Are you talking to the coaches? Like, I don't think you are better than that. I hope you are, but who knows? It's just, I wasn't shocked at all by anything that happened yesterday, honestly, but it's quite sad. Yeah, obviously the defense is the story, but then the offense, going back to Brady's, the first thing we played today, the offense did light it up for three in the second half when the defense was kind of in a prevent mode. And that's where you get your garbage stats and you can score a lot of points in situations like that, and they still couldn't. No. In fact, they turned the ball over.

and they still couldn't. No. In fact, they turned the ball over. And that's going to happen if your defense is not the world-beating defense that you thought it was or that you think it could be. Yeah, because it gets in your head as an offense too, right? If you know that all the pressure's on you all of a sudden because the other side of the ball can't stop anything, well, then you can see that coming out and the mistakes that they start making

and it's just a bad combination let me play you something from the post game with Dak because we're talking about expectations they didn't get better over the offseason what have you uh this was a very frustrating answer for me uh from Dak in the post game to have today is this just the way the league goes so they were saying you know you're on cloud nine after the Browns game you come back down to earth you know is that kind of, this week-to-week balance in the NFL? To have today. Is this just the way the league goes? Yeah, I mean, it's the NFL.

I talk about it each and every week. No games are played on paper. As far as riding a high, I don't – I know I wasn't personally. I don't think the guys in the locker room necessarily were. I mean, I talked about how much meat we left on the bone offensively. And that's simply why you can't listen to other people's opinions and read with you guys right respectfully. I mean, yeah, you know, y'all may have put this team on a high

more than we should have been. And now we just simply have got to reset. We've got to respond. I'm going to pause there. Y'all said we were good. We didn't. Mm-hmm. We didn't think. I'm going to pause there. Y'all said we were good. We didn't. We didn't think we were going to win this game. Y'all did.

Y'all picked us to win. We didn't. Why are y'all putting these unrealistic expectations on us? I don't believe that they don't know that either. What kind of answer is that? I think he, I'd like to hear what he said to conclude, but it's almost like you guys put us on the high after that first game, I think he, I like to hear what he said to conclude, but it's almost like you guys put us on the high after that first game saying that we're probably better than what we are,

but we're not as bad as what we look like today. It's probably somewhere in the middle. I think that's maybe where his mind was probably going, but he didn't really get to complete. Okay, how about you don't listen to what the media thinks about your team? Well, he just got through saying, that's the funny thing, is they'll talk out both sides of their mouth on this.

But he's playing a victim here. I understand that. All of you guys wrote us to win. Yeah, but it's funny to me how he'll say, they always say, we don't pay attention to what you guys are writing, and then they'll cite specific examples of what they've read. For sure. It's unavoidable.

Here's the rest of his answer. It backed it up a little bit. I talked about how much meat we left on the bone offensively, and that's simply why you can't listen to other people's opinions and read with you guys right respectfully. I mean, yeah, y'all may have put this team on a high more than we should have been, and now we just simply have got to reset. We've got to respond.

We're not going undefeated. You know what I mean? Hadn't been done in 50 years. Woo, surprise. So it's about getting back to it and finding a way to respond to put the best team on the field next week. Well, we didn't want you to go undefeated. We just wanted you to go 5-0.

That's all I needed. Would that be that difficult? Apparently so. No pizza party. You guys have to buy your own pizza now. He's definitely more bitter this season. Or, like, maybe he's always been bitter, but he's, like, hidden it a little bit more. But I think now especially probably that the contract stuff's behind him. He just how he feels and he's almost like mocking the media there i know we're

not going to go undefeated oh no one's ever done it or whatever he said um well he's done he's gotten paid he's done enough in this league where he shouldn't have to stand up there and suffer bullshit i'm not saying he's being argumentative or attacking or anything like that but yeah that he doesn't have to play the game the way that they want him to play the game every time he speaks to them. No. But how about we are better than that? We're not as good as you guys threw us up.

I mean, you guys are just putting us up there, and clearly we're not. He went back to that twice. How about we are way better than that? I really enjoyed Micah after the game, or at least what I read he said. I don't know if you have any audio. But after the game, he was putting it all on himself and all on the players. It's not the scheme. It's us.

We have to play better. Yeah, here you go. To me, it had nothing to do with the scheme. I thought it was him who called a pretty good game. There was a man play we had in the screen, but I didn't think that's life. You know what I'm saying? You always know a play is going to be a perfect call. but at the end of the day, that's life. You know what I'm saying? No play is going to be a perfect call. But at the end of the day, I believe that we just got outplayed.

I don't think whoever played on that field, everyone didn't play to 100%. That's just me being accountable and saying the truth. We all got to play better. There's some plays I wish I had back, just schematically things that I wish I was in a different position. But, you know what I'm saying? At the end of the day, I believe I'll still go out there and give 100. I just feel like, you know, there's a lot of BS

into that. You did mention schematically, I wish I was in a different position at certain times. Yeah, but I think that's the freedom Zimmer gave him. Because he started it off with, like, it's not Zimmer's fault. Yeah. You know, Zimmer did give him the keys to the defense.

I've heard that from EA. From EA Sports. Yeah. I like that he said there was a lot of BS in, like, almost calling out his team. All of them. Yeah, he put the blame on them. We just weren't. Yeah, we weren't really there.

Well, Dan pointed this out. They got punched in the mouth early on. And if you don't respond quickly to that, say you march down and kick a field goal, that's fine. We're only down a score. And then they do it again. And then you don't respond to that. And then that's when that BS starts happening.

Second-guessing, because playing behind in this league is really hard. And, yeah, you just start kind of probably bickering and questioning everything and second-guessing yourself and overcompensating. You saw Dak do it in the second half, trying to do things that he normally wouldn't do, and it leads to an embarrassing loss. Maybe the loss shouldn't have been as bad as it was because of the pressing nature to come back from a deficit like that. I don't think the Saints are always going to beat every team they play by 35 points. I'm going to try to pull these numbers because it feels like any time the other team scores first, the Cowboys start to go on their show.

Boy, they do, don't they? They get punched. They're not a tough team. There's no resiliency there. There's no grit. If they don't respond immediately with a touchdown and look good doing it. Then they're out. I think they are.

That's a great point, man. The numbers definitely back up that Dak is not a good quarterback when he's trailing. He can put up good numbers when they're up 27-10, but when he's got to really put the nail to the head, he can't. And we saw yesterday, the defense gets an interception, first play, he throws it right back. And that's just the kind of stuff that Dak does from time to time,

which doesn't put him in that upper echelon to me. It's just very Dak. It's very Cowboys. Well, yeah, very Dak. Or very Cowboys, you're right. The worst thing that I, we talked about how they did nothing for their running game. And the worst thing that could have happened for Cowboy Nation

was last week with Zeke's first carry hurtling over a defender. It's like, yeah, shut up. That's Zeke. Come on. They got nothing at running game, man. I wonder if having Jake Ferguson out yesterday is one player, but it's pretty damn good. And I did see Dak throwing a couple of times.

Yeah, they were trying to turn him into Gronk on the broadcast. I think he's good. I love him. I think he's fantastic. He's an elite tight end in this league. And it does beg the question, you've only got one real playmaker. He didn't have his safety valve or his safety outlet there because there were a couple times, like you mentioned,

Dak was throwing to dudes that you're looking on your program, huh, Dick Ford and some tight end with a 24-letter last name. It's like, I don't know these people. I wish they had a Dick Ford on their team. What's his name? Brevin. Brevin Ford? Well, the big concern is, of course,

the really bad news is that Baltimore is 0-2, and they're desperate. That was a popular knockout pick in Week 2. That's going to be a war, Dan. Oh, yeah. Baltimore at home. They were 0-1 facing Gardner Minshew and whatever the Raiders have. And the Raiders somehow win that game.

That's... If the Cowboys... And then Baltimore also, I think, has Cincinnati. And they got a couple real tough games after the Dallas game. Well, first place schedule in the AFC is no joke. Yeah. So now you've got – you're really looking at one and two as a clear possibility here. It's going to be a long year, Bubba. Maybe.

No, it's going to be a long year. I want a 180 after the first week. This is great. That's how it goes. Yeah. Next week we'll make our Super Bowl plans. They'll dominate Baltimore. Dak is so much better than Lamar.

But if they get beat next week, you're going to watch the sky fall over the Metroplex. Zeke scores two touchdowns. Baltimore, they can run the ball. That's what I'm saying. That's the real big problem. If the Cowboys get beat by Baltimore next week, it is, as one person used to say,

doom and gloom around these parts. You think we're kind of scratching our heads today? The thought is that Baltimore is not a team that's going to run away and score 50 on you. So that's the positive. I didn't think New Orleans could either. But I suppose if they can just grind out, because the Cowboys just have, I don't know,

Zimmer's, okay, if you don't make halftime adjustments, he's got to make some adjustments now. Has to do it. All right. Well, let's shift gears here. Do we have an interstitial? Oh. It's time for a dumb zone interstitial.

Got to keep them separated. We actually do. I don't like being on camera. Because then I notice when I look over at you on camera. You see me freak out? I'm looking at the other side. Oh. And it looks like I'm looking away from you. And it doesn't make any sense.

You can fight through it, Dan. Can I? I have faith in you. It's your 233rd time You're doing great Hey, thanks So in studio with us We have a guy named Brian Bowe

Do you see him there right next to you? Hi, Dan I see him Hi, Julie Yes So what is your band? My band is called Restos Restos

We're down in Austin, Texas Okay You live in Austin? I do Oh, you drove up here live in Austin? I do. Oh, you drove up here just for this? I did. Wow.

Man, sweet, man. Yeah. The Grady one was great, so I was pumped. You guys wanted to do it again, so. Yes, Grady Spencer. You know they demolished Grady, right? I was laughing the entire time. Okay.

I was like, I need to do this. This would be hilarious. Okay, so you have a band. Yes. How long have you been in the band game? A while, apparently, since you met Danny years ago at some band thing. Yeah. I've been playing since about 2007, off and on, semi-professionally.

And this band has been around for about 10 years, although the name of the band changed just two years ago. From? We were called Western Youth, and we ended up moving on. Now you're all old. We ended up moving on from one of the persons in that band, and rather than keep the name, we decided to start over. Was that a difficult situation? It is a difficult situation.

Is it personal? Very personal. That means we can't talk about it. Okay. No, it's, he's very. He was tagging your wife? Jesus. No.

What if it was actually that? No, it was not that. You don't have to. He wouldn't swap. Because I know what bands are like. They all like to swap their ladies. And so if he won't be a part of that, then I'd kick him out of the band too. I know what bands are like.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, bands, when you're in your 40s, it's not as hot as you think it is. Okay. It was very professional. It wasn't personal. So what kind of a band is Restos? What do you play? I play the drums, and it's a rock and roll band.

There's a little bit of psychedelia in there. There's a little bit of country. And, yeah, but just a good all-American rock and roll band is the best way to describe it. Do you have, like, a regular day job, too? I do. Okay. Yeah, but just a good all-American rock and roll band is the best way to describe it. Do you have a regular day job, too? I do. Okay. Yeah, unfortunately.

But do you guys travel and stuff? Yeah. Bar mitzvahs? No. Well, if the money's there. Yeah, you'll play anything. For sure, yeah. This fall, we have a residency starting in October at Seaboys in Austin.

We'll be there Thursdays. And October at Seaboys in Austin. We'll be there Thursdays. And then we're really pumped in January. We're going to Spain. Cool. We're going to tour Spain for about 11 days. Wow. Yeah. Maybe Dan will let you access his Duolingo account.

Want to go with him? Learn Spanish. We should go cover him. We need a tour manager. How long is the flight? I have no idea. Yeah, okay. Long. We're a tour manager, so. How long's the flight? I have no idea. Yeah, okay. Long.

We're not going. I'm probably not. All right, so anyway. Dan would be the worst TM. The big fear is that I gave this song, or, you know, gave the girls, my daughters, my two daughters, let's just call them teenage, even though they're on the cusp of not being teenage. Already crawling.

I gave my two daughters a little bit of a background. Zero on you. I don't know. I just said, you know, hey, he's a guy who listens to us, so right away they don't respect you. And then just told them, I think, the name of your band. And then... Perfect. Yeah.

So one of my daughters was at uh clemson one of them was uh at home with me so one of them is going to be a little little tougher to hear but stop this if you want to ever uh but yeah this is about 10 minutes of my daughters listening to your song and then then we talking about it so are we going to listen to music or what? Oh my gosh, it's almost like you have the computer. Literally, what do you want us to do? We can do anything. We're literally at your beck and call, apparently. You guys look so Gein right now.

Ed Gein? You look like you were literally wearing someone else's face right now. A little rash. A little rash. A little rash. I need to send that to you. The WAV file is green.

That's why we look green. You see it from my computer. Okay, Mr. Logic. We love you. I don't like him. Too green. Okay, so here. Let's listen. Pause it if you would like to, okay?

How do I pause it? Yeah, how does she pause it? Yeah, say pause, pause, pause. Ava, do this. What's that? I can't even hear you. You know what? Leave the call.

Okay. Thank you. Casting lost in the storm You're waking up all alone So beautiful You can make it You can make it You can make it When you want it to It's broken hearts on fire Does the song have more than five words or no?

Be honest. Say again? Does the song have more than five words or no? Your thoughts so far, Eden? I don't have any thoughts because i'm actually on strike until you uh raise the price of this until you raise my wages i have no comments can i stop real quick i feel like we've made it through the first verse and we haven't gotten a nut kick yet yeah i'm a little a little disappointed. That's a five-star review from those two gals right there.

If they made it through the chorus. Yeah, the verse chorus, nothing. One snicker. Yeah. I heard one little giggle, and that's it. What's the name of the song? Make It. Okay.

No bargaining. No. You're not gonna up I'm an easy sell so if you want something I have some things in mind for

Brian here but you know I'll just I'll hold back you have some things in mind go ahead

no I got well what's what do you have on the table I have why don't you roast the song why don't you tell me what you hate about it even though he's giving you i'm not roasting it maybe you like financially compensating me i'm saying he's giving me i don't know who's buying you you're talking about financial

compensation eden it's your wife's birthday so i hope you okay but i'll buy it if you're plum out of luck you know since the car crashed in Cadillac brought you back to town you're asking for it We'll be right back. So what is this about really?

What have you gleaned so far? Oh, he got in a car crash. Someone got in a car crash and he's like, well, if you make it, I guess you can be together. That's what I got. Oh, is that what he's... He's literally just roasting this chick up the whole time. I thought that...

I'm not a hater i thought that he said like the car crash is what got her back into town so maybe it's like a like the beginning of blue velvet where it's like his dad like falls on a sprinkler head or something so he comes back oh my gosh you should watch and then like he comes back kyle mclaughlin comes back into town and then like you know david lynch ensues but like that's what got him there in the first place so maybe this is sort of from the perspective of laura dern okay so what are you saying ava no literally this is like word for word what he said he said got in a car crash in a cadillac okay yeah that is word well i guess like we'll see what happens like we'll see what happens

if you die or live like the twin towers on the table you know did he say that if you die or live i wasn't paying it's kind of peaking it literally got interrupted so I literally This song is kind of hit and red and I'm hoping that that's a you problem instead of a his mixer problem because if

yikes. I still stand by why can't we just have a little bit of autotune? Like I feel like that's not an issue to like do that, you know?

Well, I'll say I'll say right now this song is better than that other song we listened to. I mean, even though I don't remember what it sounded like this one, it just seems better which isn't really saying much

absolutely ditch zero the other one was pretty bad but this one is just i mean it might even be a worse crime to be this song because it just like it's just forgettable at least the other song i can say it was bad no i couldn't agree more it is so flat like oh my god this going all right for you now love it god did you write this song uh no i was a part of you know putting it together but the the words were written by our lead singer okay Okay. I couldn't agree more. It is so flat. Like, can we have like, please a different note? Like if I saw the sheet music, it literally be the same.

Okay, we get it. You play the tuba. And that's what we're saying. You know exactly what I'm saying. Like maybe a cheeky like key change or something. Maybe we add in a sousaphone, a mellophone, a sax. A change in voice. Like maybe you get one of your backup singers

on there instead I don't know he doesn't have backup singers his band what's his band called maybe he should get one his band is called something lame and no one wants to join it it's called like Rotund I think Rotunda I think that you're projecting

alright let's hear the rest of the lyrics here's the rest of the lyrics let's see what we've got so is it a shame if you make it? Just flip those lyrics. If you don't know what the next bar is, just say that same thing, but reversed. That's all I'm saying. Dad, this is not like you roasting a song.

You're supposed to be at their feet, kissing their feet. No, I'm just asking a question. What's the deal? Yo, there's no room for you in this duo, okay? Oh, good job. see ya Life will turn out fine Or it might If you make it If you make it So is this like a hospital zone? Is she in the hospital?

I think she's literally in the hospital hooked up to a machine on the plane. So is he being like super cheeky right now? Like 21 Pilots, like oh my gosh this song is so upbeat but what I'm saying is so deep. No, literally because I feel like this guy's trying to give me emotion but can you know what would

really amplify that emotion? One little taste of auto-fixing and I feel like he'd be like, he'd be on the show. What? really amplify that emotion. One little taste of auto-tune, and I feel like you can jump in. What? I don't know. It just kind of, it sounds like a bad Belle and Sebastian song. Like if you took away the charm of the album,

Tiger Bell. But like we were saying, this song sounds like every other song. Do you know why? Because he sounds like every other cover band artist that I've ever heard in my entire life do you know why i really hope that he didn't put his day job you know because bell and sebastian have a flute player nobody even knows what you're talking about okay well they probably do because i do i detect some inspiration taken here i think that i might what's the inspiration besides a car crash they well he didn't crash his car two words that i understood this whole thing

well maybe that that probably reflects a little bit more on you linguistically if car and crash were all that you got linguistically if it's something I'm audibly hearing, bae. Eva, I think you're... Linguistically instead of listening. Literally, Eva. I'm literally so embarrassed by you not knowing what linguistically is. No, no. You cannot gaslight me into this one.

Because linguistically is not your understanding of words. That's how you talk. Hearing something and understanding that is so different, bae. Babe. Babe. Babe, you can't go free. Dad cut all this out because she just lost all her credit bills. This is you and your mom.

Cut this out. Cut this out. Cut. Cut. Wait. Brand names. Pepsi. Coke.

What can't you say? I'm trying to say you. Wait, I can actually just expose you right now. Ava, say the C word. The C word. The one when you're giving. Oh. Oh, raw.

When I'm serving? Ava, say a slur We'll have to cut it, please Alright, well let's say goodbye to Brian Bow Green light by Lord and see how much better we like it Let's thank Brian Bow for his contribution

to your college fund Thanks, King We're really running low, so thank you Thank you Wow Greatness we're really running low so thank you thank you wow greatness holy so much there you're sitting on so much gold with them they there's so many shows that they could do there's a reason why he has no hair and i can only imagine you sitting there listen basically at the, or mainly at the end of that, it's probably just like a guy just kind of quietly watching a tennis match.

Mm-hmm. Over here. Yeah, great. No, that's life. If they're watching a TV show, it's the same thing. If they're watching a movie together, you just can't sit with them and, you know, you're watching them. Yeah.

That's their bit. When they get together, they're very, like individually, they're great. You want to hang out with one of them? Yeah. It's awesome. But together. I have the best time. But when they're together, yeah, you don't want to be around.

Because they'll, they will attack you. And it's been like this since when? I don't know. What age did you really notice this dynamic? That they turn into the ball busters? I don't know. What age did you really notice this dynamic that they turn into the ball buster sisters? I don't know. It has to be teenage. It's the same age when if you have a sleepover with your kids, then if your kids have a sleepover, you don't invite your friends and everything.

But when you walk through the room, they all stand at attention and they're very, they're very deferential to you and they will listen to you. And there, and then there's some age when you walk into the room and then you leave and then they all start giggling and laughing. Yeah. And then you don't even want to go near them because you can't, there's no, Hey,

let's watch this. And they'll be like, okay, let's do it. You know, like they have their own thing. Everything's met with resistance. Yeah, yeah. You're not even close to there.

But you have a boy. I don't know if boys are different. You got kids, Brian? I do not. We have three dogs. This doesn't make you want them? Certainly does not. What if that was your life?

But how do you feel? That's not so bad. I think that was a win. Yeah. I feel great. Yeah. Actually, I was hoping for some more. You're a little disappointed then.

Well, it would have been a little funnier, I think. If they bagged on the drums. If they bagged on it, yeah. Like assistant drums. Yeah. They do think you should Add a flute Yeah We can work on that I guess

And maybe What was it Let the background singers Sing Luke Hurtle There are background Hurtles In there I mean that's a good Strong straight ahead

Tom Petty In the world of Tom Petty Type pop tune Thank you It's jangly It's great Yeah Super catchy

I loved it too Yeah But was it a hospital song Or No Yeah what is the bit with her Thank you. It's jangly. It's great. Yeah. Thank you. Super catchy. I loved it too. Yeah. But was it a hospital song or? No. Yeah. What is the bit with her? If you make it, I'm into you. If not, you're a deformed freak.

Yeah. I guess I need to look at what he actually wrote there. I don't know. Oh, okay. I'll just go with it. The song took on a new meaning after COVID because then it was, if you make it, we all made it. Like off the ventilator? Yeah, if you make it off.

Yeah. So, but yeah, I'll have to dig in deeper on what exactly he was referring to. There's probably a great story there. Yeah. We're dumbing it down to a hospital song. Yeah. That's on us. But it is interesting because I'm picturing him in the hospital like, if you make it,

and she's just sitting there fighting for her life. Well, it is nice to have your own take on it, too, without knowing what he actually meant. Yeah. There's a little bit of the thinking. Yeah. Maybe we'll never know. I hate when thinking is involved in anything.

It was a very pretty song, though. I loved it. Thank you. I appreciate that. Thanks for offering that up for us. Yeah, absolutely. Make it. Make it. Got it. By Restos?

By Restos, that record that that song is on came out last year. Actually, September of last year. And we're going to release the song on Thursday.

We did a cover of Town Van Zandt's Poncho and Lefty. wow yeah it's a real ambitious man yeah it's a up-tempo rock and roll version of it so wow i've never heard it treated that way yeah super fast super loud and cool uh so that'll be out thursday spotify apple music all music, all that stuff. What kind of money do you make from Spotify? About.003 cents a stream. Per stream? So have you gotten a check from Spotify?

Or does all the money go to the songwriter? It goes to us digitally. So a digital distributor is where the money goes to, and then they dump it into our account. Have you ever got money from Spotify? Yeah, not not a lot no but we don't get a lot so yeah is it like our twitch check no it's probably not near as good as that okay it's he's he's not wrong it's point the low double digits when we get a chick twitch check. Is it 3% of a penny? Yeah. So 0.03 cents? 0.03 cents. Yeah.

You got to get into the millions until you're really looking at decent money. The publisher that handles this one project that I was in, we got one song placed in a TV show. And if you go on Spotify, it's got a half a million spins or half a million streams. And I think the quarterly checks that this person will actually write checks to me for sometimes $6 and 12 cents to keep his accounting right, you know, but it's, it's nothing. You really do have to get into the multi-millions of streams to actually see any viable cash.

It's tough. From Spotify. Yeah. Well, I'll bet this will help. Yeah. Give you a little bump. Yeah, a little $6.12. Could use it, yeah.

All right. Let's take a break. And then we have Brad Alberts to talk digital streaming and stuff and things and- And yeah, we're live streaming. Did you know that? Yeah. I've known it for a while now. Yeah.

But in the recorded podcast, we'll be back right away. But in the live stream, give us a few minutes to go to the bathroom. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. Give me one of these. The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone.

The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. Who sent us pizza? Why do we have pizza? I don't know. Who sent us this guacamole? That I do know.

Oh. No puppet! That's a new sponsor of ours. I thought Julie was going to say. I was vamping. Oh, okay. It was Yokiro, of course. It's National Guacamole Day. Who knew?

It is National Guacamole Day. Yeah. So we have to have some guac up in here. So if you need guacamole, you're saying... I'm not the spokesperson for National Guacamole Day. I didn't create it. Well, you're not letting me finish my sentence. I know.

I feel like I'm about to get attacked about the fake holiday thing. No, no, no. I'm not saying it's a fake holiday. We're not fighting. I'm doing a yes and here. This is a live spot. I'm doing a yes and. That yes, I agree that this is a viable national holiday that should be celebrated everywhere.

Okay, good. But I'm saying, what you're saying, Julie Dobbs, is that Yo Quiero is the guacamole you should be consuming on National Guacamole Day. I am saying that. And you just jumped me right away and just doesn't let, lady, ladies, am I right, guys? Ladies, just jumping all over you. You got no support. Just doesn't let... Lady. Ladies. Am I right, guys? Ladies, just jumping all over you. You got no support. Well, that's because these guys are like,

oh, no, I got to act like I care about women. They don't. Wow. So this must be loaded with preservatives. That's what I'm guessing. Would that be the case? Absolutely not, Dan. Where'd you get that? No preservatives.

California? Where'd you get it? This is probably from California. Wait. Says here Texas-based avocado. Hell yeah, it is. Hell yeah, man. So when we secede, we'll still just be able to have this.

There will be no tariffs on this avocado. It's a word I've heard lately that I think I know what it means. Kind of. I don't know. Anyway, the finest ingredients. Yokiero. Delicious, handcrafted products that can be found in most local retailers. What do they mean there?

Like a store? Yeah, all the grocery stores that you go to. Ah, the grocery store. Yeah. Okay, so don't go to Kohl's. No. You can go to Kohl's, but you're probably not going to find

You're not going to find Yokiero at Kohl's. Guacamole. No Yokiero at Kohl's. They have guacamole, super chunky avocado. The first two words there were the nickname of my girlfriend in college. Super chunky avocado, avocado salsa, queso. In a live spot.

Where's his material in the first half of the show? This is incredible. He builds, remember? Go to the website, which is? Who knows? Yokierobrands.com. Yes. It's not proslat.com?

Yokierobrands. No, this one actually has copy, and it has the website right here. I will say something about this. I tasted it. It is phenomenal. Really? I love making guacamole at home. Perfect. Eat more.

But the best thing about it is when you look at the ingredients list, there's like five ingredients. Yep. And it's only the ingredients that you need in guacamole. Oh, you know what else? You know how I don't want to die? Brad, I'm trying not to die because I'm old. That's probably good. Are you into that? I am. like trying to eat healthier yes yes yeah yeah okay it's a super

food dan sugar i think he's doing better than you what do you mean brad alberts oh yeah he looks awesome yeah well i'm trying to get to be brad alberts um trying. It's really healthy. Like avocado. Very much so. Like your doctor will say, man, try some avocado. Healthy fats. Healthy fats. Yeah. Back in the day, they would have told you no.

But so the website, do you remember it, Brad? You don't remember. Yokirobrands.com. Look at that. Look at that. Attention. That's what we want from these spots. We want you to remember.

He can pass that memory test. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So thank you to Yokiro. Look at that. Retention. That's what we want from these spots. He can pass that memory test. Yeah. Okay. So thank you to Yo Kiero. Yeah, and stay tuned because they're going to be a part of your Cowboys watching parties too. Oh, hell yeah. They're going to be bringing the good stuff.

Snacks. That's right. Now Danny wants to come. I do. I really do. Trust me. You get free snacks? I love snacks and football sitting next to julie on our

couch in our dallas studios uh in our dz tv studios uh in downtown dallas at the fox 4 building and he's been here much longer than we realized i'm sorry i thought they would just tell us when you got here. That was what I said before the show, right? Just walk them in. Walk them in and whatever we're doing. And they did not. Now you can ask them how the green room is. Were you in a green room? The green room was great. What did they have in there? Water. And you just sit there?

Healthy living. Sit there on your phone? I took a little nap and thought you guys forgot about me. God damn it. I'm so sorry. I could have brought you some guac. Anything. Could have had some guac. This is his music because he is the president of the Dallas Stars.

Right? Like they all stand up and salute when you walk in? Yeah, or something else, right? Does Sagan know who you are? He does. Okay. Yeah. All right.

Anyway. He better. I'm sure he does. But we're not here to really talk about Dallas Stars, although we're always thinking about the Dallas Stars. You are the Stars president and CEO, but also you are here to talk about Victory Plus, which is fascinating, to me at least, just where we're going in this world. When we talk about the cable bundle used to be a thing, and we've kind of just seen that unraveling.

Well, I think we've seen it, yeah, or we're watching it unravel. We're like in the middle of it. Yeah. And you guys are doing something that I haven't really heard being done before. So it's got to be kind of... A little risky? Yeah, it's risky. It's got to be scary.

These are like big, big decisions that in the future somebody might say, oh my gosh, look at that foresight. Or they might say, can you believe? Yeah, the QCAT. They'll say, remember when Brad used to work for the Stars? Yeah. That idiot tried to do that? Yeah, I mean, I think this, you guys, this has been an ongoing problem now for a couple years.

I mean, once Bally's went into that formal bankruptcy, and I don't even remember the date. You can probably look it up. It certainly seems like 10 years ago, but I think it's been a couple. We've been working on this almost every day for two years. It's the most complicated business problem I've ever faced in my career in the industry. I think most of my compatriots would probably agree. And when you throw in three leagues, MLB, NBA, and NHL, the amount of money that's involved in it all, how it impacts how everybody gets paid, players, how rosters are built, and everybody's got their own view, there is no clear-cut pathway as to what to do. You can see it becomes a really, really complicated problem to solve. But having said all that, we went through a very, very kind of elaborate due diligence period. We talked to everybody. I mean, we've had conversations in this building about over the air broadcasts,

and nothing really stood out to me to be great for the stars. And along came CEO Neil Gruninger from APMC. He had just launched Dude Perfect's direct-to-consumer, and he basically said, hey, Brad, we can do this for you. And obviously, my interest was piqued, and one thing led to another. We jumped in, and we sat down with their leadership team, and we went through this process, and we studied it, we tested it, and we got more and more comfortable the longer we went with them. And then ultimately I sat down and said, looked at our group and said, you guys want to do this? And every single person in the STARS office that was involved looked at me and said, Brad, let's go. So is there a little bit of risk? Yeah, but if you

knew what I knew, and I'm not going to tell you, it's not that much risk. So I think the risk is, is this the direction that this is going to go to watch local sports? And we certainly think that it is. I have a million questions, but let's start off first by, can you describe what the experience is going to be using this platform. How is this going to work for people when they want to watch the stars? Is it downloading the app to their smart TV? Is it watching it on their phone? Kind of maybe go through just the rudimentary process of this. Yeah, Danny.

I mean, we're hopeful it's going to be better quality than it was before. And we're certainly trying to dumb it down and make it easy for people to download and use. We do not want this to be complicated. Ultimately, yes, it will be on every one of your devices. It's there now. You can go and download it on Apple, on Roku, on a number. Amazon Fire Stick. Amazon Fire Stick is now ready to go um smart tvs will are coming

here in the next couple weeks just type in victory plus you know spell out pl us uh and you'll be able to get it really easily you sign in and you'll be able to watch off to the races and it costs nothing costs nothing okay that which is a follow-up that I wanted to ask. Is all of the revenue generated 100% from advertisers that are going to be, you'll be running their commercials, their spots on that app like you would if you were just watching a channel on over-the-air television? Correct. Okay. You guys know the digital world. You're not selling old 30-second spots. You're selling impressions.

So the advertising technology that APMC had really was, you know, what got us over the hump to do this. And the next, you know, over the course of the year, we're going to see, I mean, it's an experiment to see how this performs both distribution wise, viewership wise, and economically. So I think we'll know a lot more by Thanksgiving. We'll certainly know a lot more next year at this time after doing it for a year. Okay. One more real quick, if I could just to this three-part thing. You mentioned having some, you know, going into anything that's new that likely hasn't been done before. I don't know if this is the first of its kind in one of the four major sports. Is one of the concerns

the person that still is doing satellite or cable and not using a strictly streaming method to consume their television where Eunice in Stanford, Texas, I get my TV on the cable box. She can't do it. Is that kind of one of the concerns where you're is there a concern that you're kind of like shielding these people from that content if they don't modernize and get with the program? Yeah, and I think that's the argument for having an over-the-air component with this, which could be – I use the word pivot. That could be a pivot that we pivot to, Danny, at some point if we see that as a problem. But right now, we're not going to do that. We're hoping that that person that you talk about is going to be able to download this in a very easy fashion on their phone, ultimately on their smart TV or on their device. And so again, that'll be part of the experiment. The number one

data point and analytic that I'll be looking at in the first game that we have here coming up in October will be viewership. And the good news is we're going to know where everybody's from. We're going to know who you are, the whole nine yards. So we'll have all that data. So we'll be able to see kind of age-wise who's watching, who isn't. And if we do see a problem in the older demographic, we can make adjustments, you know, throughout the year. So you say you did your due diligence. Did you look into, let's just put it behind a paywall like it's a oh yeah oh dan yeah we we you know we researched it we debated it for months have others done that oh yeah i think most everybody's done that and neil gruninger to his credit said don't do it

for a lot of reasons one sophisticated streamers are going to figure out ways to get around it everybody's tired of subscription fees and putting credit cards down. We've all got fatigue. And the advertising community, people that we talk to are in agreement with us. They think it's really simple, y'all. Viewership will drive CPM rates, and that will turn into revenue. Viewership is key. If people watch at a high rate, this thing is going to be off to the races.

So that, though, is often based on how good a team is. Sure. So that's the problem. If you've got a bad team, it might be a problem. Yeah. It's like the old days. I mean, the great thing about the cable model, like we remember when the Houston Astros did the

let's tear everything down and suck for a few years and then we'll get good. Yep. They had like a 0.0. Like their rating was nothing. But they still got all that sweet, sweet, you know, they had a 10-year TV deal or whatever. So they got the ballet money or Fox Sports, whatever it was. Yeah, those days are gone.

Where you're going to be guaranteed enormous amounts of money just to be on TV. And everybody knows that. I mean, there's this steady decline of where we've been for the last 30 years. And so, yeah, Dan, I think it brings up a really good point that teams are going to have to pay attention to how they build rosters and stay competitive. TV is probably going to, you know, resemble tickets when you go into those rebuilds,

as everybody talks about, tickets drop off too. Everybody wants to watch and obviously follow when you're good. And I think TV may fall into that category. Again, it's going to be something that we'll just have to see as now this new world develops. And over the next couple of years, it's going to be really interesting. Now, I think we're in a really good position, obviously, you guys, with our team. We feel like it's going to be really interesting. Now, I think we're in a really good position, obviously, you guys, with our team. We feel like we're going to be really competitive, obviously, this year and for a number of years in the future. So for us, we're in a different situation. But other teams, like Anaheim, just jumped on.

And Anaheim's still of a rebuild out in Southern California. So looking at their numbers compared to ours will be, again, a really good data point to look at as we analyze the whole situation over the course of the year. Yeah, Anaheim's on your – I'm sorry. Anaheim's on your app. They are. They're on Victory Plus. Which is – did you pitch this to all the – like, hey, anybody want in?

Well, as you can imagine, all the NHL teams have been talking, and we've been talking for two years. I mean, really the league has, has been communicating with all the teams that were under the Bally's umbrella, telling them you guys better get, you know, get to work and find other options. And so we've all been doing that. And we've all been talking about, Hey, are you talking to this person? You're talking to that person. Uh, and every NHL team, I think with very few exceptions that was with Bally's has had conversations with myself, with Neil Gruninger about where things are going, but everybody's making their own decision

based on their own situation. Not everybody's going to jump into this. I think some are going to look at it and let, Hey, let Albert's, you know, pioneer it and see, see what happens. Yeah. Let's see how you mess up. Yeah. And then we'll follow from behind, which is fine. You know, I get that. There's no right or wrong answer for where people are at. They just have to all figure it out for themselves. I assume that this is based on regional availability.

This isn't going to be like somebody that's a Stars fan in Pittsburgh is going to be able to download this app up there and have access to every game for free. That's just going to be in their, what would normally be their viewing region. Is that correct? Yeah, it's going to stay the same. You will be able to get the app in Pennsylvania

and see all the additional content that we put on it. But obviously the games will be territorially restricted. You'll have to buy the, you know, home market package from the NHL. Because that would kind of inflict on the NHLs. Like what is there on ice or? Yeah, well, you got to protect the RS from the NHL. Because that would kind of inflict on the NHLs, like, what is there on ice? Yeah, well, you've got to protect the RSNs. You're still in that.

I mean, if this is where this goes, you guys, and this becomes the norm, I think those territorial, you know, walls will be torn down, and anybody can watch at any different, you know, in any region really in the world. But right now we're still under the old RSN guidelines. So, yeah, it'll be available for free within our four state territory. So teams around the league, are they doing something very similar to you or is this a pretty aggressive approach with the app? Nobody's gone specifically direct to consumer yet. Some, you know, like Anaheim is going direct to consumer, but they're going to simulcast with an over the air partner. Most teams have used over the air as a, you know, kind of a shielding mechanism, you know, for what Danny brought up.

I think people are a little bit scared, you know, of what the viewership is going to be if you go direct-to-consumer only. But I think we're confident in it. We think this is the future, and we want to do this and look at how it performs and then compare, like, within our family now on Victory Plus. We're going to have Anaheim to compare, which is doing it a little bit different. So I think that analysis over the course of the year will give us a lot of details on this. How much research consulting did you guys do to make sure, and probably the NHL may have had a big say in this too, to, hey, make sure that these bases are covered.

And probably the NHL may have had a big say in this too, to, Hey, make sure that these bases are covered because look, hackers and pirated pirate websites can, can pretty much tap into stream anything. How do you keep your victory plus stars game presentation out of that, out of the, the, the illegal streamers to where, you know what I'm, does that make sense to you to where, well, it's one of the reasons why we're free. That's where APMC, our technology

partner, comes in. They've got to protect us against that, and that's their business. And that's one of the reasons why Neil said to go free because, like you said, the sophisticated people are going to figure out a way to pirate it and get around it anyway. And I think everybody's been disappointed by their subscription fee revenue that

they've been charging. I've talked to a number of the teams, you know, MLB's got Arizona just did it. I talked to their people. They're not overly thrilled with the revenue that they brought in. I think, again, it goes back to subscription fatigue, people tired of paying for it. And again, you know, the generation that knows how to get around it knows how to get it for free. it. And again, you know, the generation that knows how to get around it knows how to get it for free. And so that's why Neil was kind of steadfast all along in saying, go free by going free. You're going to drive viewership. If we get the viewers, the money will come and we'll follow. And I think

that's the model that we're, we're all in on. How, how much, how much hustling has your sales team done to, to get advertisers on board to debut thing? Well, they're hustling right now. I mean, we've only been in this two months. We officially announced mid-July. We had to get through the kind of legal process to get out from under it before we could start selling. So everybody's working their butts off to get ready. The technical and operations people are getting ready to do a game here on Saturday night. We're going to do the first preseason game, which will be a great launch just to test it.

And obviously the salespeople are hard at it. Do you have the same restrictions you did while on TV, where as far as if a national game comes in, you won't have the rights in the playoff games as well? Correct. All of that stays the same. We've got 13 national games this year, which is a byproduct of being good. So yeah, those games will be national and they won't be on victory plus. And then we'll do the first round, just like we always do. And then the second round,

third and Stanley cup finals go national. What, what presentation changes can people expect from, uh, to moving to, to the, the app based game as far as like difference in the production and, and whatnot,

is it going to look like a different type of thing? Pre-intermission post all the same? Yeah. Pre and post is going to be totally different. I won't spoil it. Seve and B-Ray are going to have some, you know, some new things to, to break out this year. We've just launched new music at our, at our launch party the other night. So the graphics package looks fantastic. It is going to look, you know, different than Bally's Plus, but I think for you guys, the viewer, I think you're going to see hopefully that the quality is better than it was.

Certainly as good as it was before with some new tweaks. No question about it. Yeah. I think there has to be some different stuff. Oh, yeah. That it kind of like, hey, we couldn't do this before. Now we can. I'm thinking of something like bench cam or something.

Like, I just need a camera put up there. I'd love to see the guys, you know, what's always happening on the bench. And let's get that little thing sponsored. And I can click on that and look at that. Or maybe even a certain, you know, Sagan Cam or just some, you know, you're a top player. Let's just follow this guy on the ice the whole time, no matter what's happening.

Well, the good news is we can do whatever we want, and it's our network. And so Jason Walsh is the EP that came over from Bally's, and he's going to be running this thing. Most of the people that were on the Bally's production side have jumped over as well. We've got our same production crew in the truck, John Norton, Vito, and the whole gang. And then obviously Razor and Josh are going to be back to lead this. But yeah, we're going to do things that are going to be a little bit different. And I think as we get our legs under us here and start figuring out

after the fundamentals are done, I think we're going to have some real fun as we get into the meat of the season with this. Any idea of possibly like an alternate broadcast too? Like a Manningcast type thing? Maybe even the Mom Zone coming on for a game? Sure. Just saying. I love it.

Yeah, I think all of those things. You're stealing all of our secrets, Dan. Yeah. No, no, I'm an idea man. I don't know how to do anything, but I can have ideas. We're going to have a number. We got to have a green room cam. Then I would have known that Brad Alberts was in there for 40 minutes.

And he wouldn't have known that he was on camera. And we can be like, Oh, look what he's doing now. He's just spied on him. Yeah. He's drooling. That's really cool though.

I hadn't thought about the production aspect of it, I guess, because maybe I didn't know how many of those regulations were broadcast based or league based. But just the fact that that opens up that opportunity to maybe even, you know, people love hearing from the players, mic up a guy or that kind of thing. Then you can build that audience that way. And that's what you're trying to do. Now you've also, of course, removed the barrier, which is watching the darn game. So that could hopefully grow the audience too. And of course,

everybody I'm sure is hoping for a great season from the Stars, but you've got such wonderful personalities on that team that people have, you know, come to kind of know and love around here. So I think I'm so excited to see how all of this kind of unfolds for y'all. And I imagine because it is like they've talked about, it is a huge risk, as you know, but like, is there just an underlying, like just buzz around all of this right now with the whole organization? Because it really is shaking things up in the, in the TV world and the NHL world and the sports world. It's huge. Oh yeah.

We're not really into it. You think he was going to answer that that way? She's into it. And yeah, and we are too, as you can imagine our entire organization. Me up. Dan loves doing this.

We love being the pioneers. Nobody's afraid. I think everybody's looking forward to it. We had an incredible launch party last week at the factory in DeBellum. Nellie came and performed. There's a lot of people cheering for us and pulling for us to pull this off. Can I bring up your former employer? Sure, of course, yeah.

Okay, the ticket's going to be on here as well. We're going to live stream the ticket. So those guys will be part of Victory Plus moving forward as well. So you're clearly adding some things to this that already have a following. Yep. And that's an obvious tie-in with the ticket. Hey, let's put them on here because now they'll go there for the ticket. They'll stay for the stars.

100%. Dude Perfect, same thing. As I scroll through my app, fishing. So many people are stoked on fishing that we can just click on fishing. Is it my fishing show? Probably not, Julie. Nobody cares about your fishing that we can just click on fishing. Is it my fishing show? Probably not, Julie. Nobody cares about your fishing show. Outdoor living or outdoor life, I think. Is Julie on this or no?

Not yet. Not on this. Who knows? Did you know she hosts a fishing show? I did not. Okay, I learned something today. Okay, you got a fishing show, Julie. Let's fish TV.

All right. Used to be the Southwest Outdoors Report. Okay. Yep. I've gone through a couple iterations of my fishing show. I remember that. Uh-huh. Yeah.

No, that seems, but that's interesting because this, like obviously the ticket, you can find it somewhere else. Yep. But I can also get it here. I would guess these Dude Perfect videos, they're also on their YouTube page. Yep. But you're saying this is the app these Dude Perfect videos, they're also on their YouTube page. Yep. But you're saying this is the app for Dude Perfect. Well, they have their own, and they're just going to help us promote this. They have another app.

They have their own, yep. See, that's why my prediction for this for the future, you said you are going to evaluate and pivot. I just feel like there wouldn't be a problem with putting this on regular TV as well. Let's just say it's more 27 yeah in the uh fox family here um where you could see dz tv it's called more 27 now is it yeah oh okay don't you correct me on the tv station i'm on did you know there's shows on it at night i did not yeah every night it just started last monday through friday monday uh p.m., right after GMFB, you will find DZTV. In fact, I'll bet you we're going to see Brad Alberts right there.

So say hello to those on More27. Hi, everybody. I just think, you know, what if you also said, hey, you guys put some of these games on there, too. It just seems like that might be a. And then, you know, like Danny said, for the olds that just can't load this app or can't figure it out. Or don't even have a smart TV or a Fire Stick or a Roku or Apple or anything like that. It's just TV with the cable plugged into it. I'm sure there's that.

Now that look, that's there. It has to be dwindling. Dwindling for sure. And unfortunately, dying that. It's just TV with the cable plugged into it. I'm sure there's that. Now that look, that's there. It has to be dwindling, but dwindling for sure. And unfortunately dying off. It is. And, but it is what had to go there. We're all having fun talk here.

I mean, those are the things that we're going to evaluate. We have not ruled out and over their package. And so we're continuing to evaluate that. You know, do we put six games on, do we put 12 games on, do we put, you know, zero games on. So we'll continuing to evaluate that. You know, do we put six games on? Do we put 12 games on? Do we put, you know, zero games on?

So we'll see. I think let's get this thing launched. Let's get off and running. And then let's see, you know, kind of what the data is telling us. Tough to evaluate, too, as football season starts. Yeah, right. What's it going to look like in January compared to October? It's what I told you.

We'll know a lot more next summer after doing this a year. And I think you've got to go through two full years to get a real understanding of what the new normal is. After two weeks in October, you can't rush to judgment, whether it's good or bad. You just got to let it all play out and see. Okay. You have to lower your bar. As far as the interface, will you be able to pause the game if you need to go to the can? And once the game is completed, is it archived so that if you missed it, you can go back much like you would use a DVR?

Yeah. All those elements will be in place. That's great. That's Walsh's job to get all that stuff in order, and I know that's going to be part of the offering for sure. be part of the the offering for sure so what how much influence or say did the nhl have with regional hockey games being so fragmented in the methods that they use to broadcast the games how much say did they have and say for example hey dallas stars you're thinking about doing this free app okay or they just say hey as long as you meet your numbers and we get our cut, we don't care if you broadcast them on a donkey's ass.

Is that kind of how that works, though? Yeah, well, the league was very involved. We need a lot of donkeys. There's a lot of hockey fans. A lot of donkeys, that's true. The league was very involved. This, again, as I go back to what I started with, it was a very, very complicated, the most complicated business problem we've all faced.

So the league, as you can imagine, is trying to make sure that all their teams in the league are taken care of, you know, on TV. And so they've been, you know, lockstep with us all along. I think the one thing that the league, you know, once we brought them in and we brought them down to Dallas, they were part of our testing, you know, last winter. When they saw the quality, they saw the ed technology. They said to me too, they're like, we get it. Viewership plus CPM equals revenue. Let's go. And so I think they were sold once they walked out of the boardroom at the AAC after seeing the technology and meeting everybody at APMC. And then it was really just up to me to get the deal sorted out uh but the but the league was you

know really bullish they were really positive on this you guys we had a major problem in this region this region i don't know if you know the bally southwest region was the worst performing financial region for bally's in the country uh it was the rangers it was us it was uh four uh nba teams oklahoma city because there was no way to access them. Well, that was part of it. That was part of the problem. The money that was being thrown out to all of us teams was another problem. So I knew that we had to figure out a solution to get out of that.

And so other regions weren't in that bad of a financial position. So teams looked at it differently. I knew we had to get out. I mean, they were only on until they created their glitchy ass app they were only on two cable networks i believe or satellite networks so if you did they made you have to buy or change your provider to be able to even watch your local teams until they came out with an app and then that app didn't even have all the teams on it no No. Yeah, it was expensive.

It's like the darkest era for local sports that I've had in my lifetime. Yeah, because even if you purchased the upgrade where you had the channels, then you had to pay the fee on top of it. Yeah. So it was just, yeah, it was a very inexpensive option. The distribution and the money were the two main problems that we set out to try to solve. Obviously, the distribution that you just described, the majority of the people, all I had to do is walk outside my office and talk to five 20 somethings outside my door. And none of them were watching the game. They worked for the

organization. They didn't, they didn't pay for the app. They weren't on direct TV or charter, so they didn't get the games. And obviously we knew that was a problem. And then financially, we needed to sort through that. And I think we've done that in the short term. And now we'll see how that performs over, you know, over a couple of years here once we get into it. I can't wait. This is so cool. You said testing last winter.

What does that mean? Yeah, we just tested the technology. We took the game feed and ran it through APMC's servers to see how it performed. We needed to make sure, Dan, that their technology could run a live game. Dude Perfect's not live. So obviously we needed to understand that. You know, that passed with flying colors and then their ad technology. The nice thing, you guys, is going to be once you're watching a game, if we're sitting here

watching the game and the ad break comes, each one of you is going to get served a different ad on your phone. You're going to get guacamole because we know you like that. Yeah. And Danny's going to get golf clubs because we know he's working on his golf game. Yeah, I'll get erectile dysfunction. I didn't say that. I did.

Julie will get wine. Yeah. Wine. Nailed it. Right. So that's all part of the financial and economic performance of this that we want to see. So yeah.

It's very cool. The future. It's here. You're living it. You are living the future, Dan. It's like the games on Amazon or whatever. That feed you stuff just for you. And y'all have like a team of people that are going to be going out.

I thought this was cool. Like going out to the bars and restaurants around here and kind of working with them to say how, so they know how to get it on their TV so people can go and watch the games. So you can also employ like some 20 somethings to go to Eunice's house and help Eunice set up her TV. Yeah. I think that's cool. You've her TV. Yeah, I mean.

Yeah, I think that's cool. You've kind of thought of a lot. I think we've thought of just about everything. The stars don't have a viewer named Eunice. There's not one in Texas. I know. I'm guaranteeing, though. And you'll be able to find that out.

We will be able to find that out. We'll be able to let you know. Let us know. But the bars and the restaurants was a good point to bring up because we knew that we had to address that. And so we're going to, you know, again, every bar and restaurant that has a smart TV ultimately will be able to download it. But we are going to have to go. It's kind of hand-to-hand combat. You're going to have to go knock on everybody's door.

So we are putting together a group to go do that to try to get out to as many bars and restaurants to make sure that they understand how to download the app, how to get the games as we get going. But that will be a work in progress over the next three, four months. This is a bit of a left turn, but the same team that shares your arena, the Dallas Mavs, seem to be preparing for sports betting in some way. Could this be as... Gambling. Yeah. So could this app help in that?

And maybe you don't want to answer that, but it just seems like the way sports are going, it's all based on what are the odds?'s the spread what's the over under people want that so has that been a part of discussions as well well i think i think you're talking about two two separate things but both are our futures i think as we all know sports betting is coming texas may be last of the party but it's here i mean it's in's in the country. Yes, we've been trying to get sports betting on our mobile phones passed for the two last legislative sessions. The next one will start in January. We'll be trying to get it passed again. And obviously with sports betting comes engagement. Engagement brings TV into this. So yeah, it becomes this one big happy family

where you're going to watch, you're going to bet, and how the technology works to make that all possible is certainly something that we all have our eye on. Now, all these things have to converge, and so we have to get it passed in this state, which is still up in the air. But certainly all the pro teams are behind trying to get sports betting passed.

Now we'll see if the politicians want it in this state. So is it, if I want to watch on my computer, app on the computer? Yep. Okay, not just a website? You should be able to go to victoryplus.com again and download it on your computer. Don't quote me exactly on it, but I know you can get it on your computer. Okay. Quote me exactly on it, but I know you can get it on your computer. Okay.

Since he mentioned the Mavs and all that kind of stuff, do you envision yourself always sharing a building with them, or do you think there's a possibility they move to the new casino? Are you upset with this? Are you going to storm out? No. Back to the green room. That'll be good for our ratings. That's an exciting green room. That'll be good for our ratings.

We're not going anywhere anytime soon. I think... Like everybody theorizes they're going to build an arena over where the old Texas stadium was and that's going to be a casino slash basketball arena and then would that leave you guys...

I'm not going to speak for the adelson and patrick de mont families now i mean they can you know what they do will be what they choose to do i they are not planning to build a new arena anytime soon do they want casino gambling in the state of texas 100 and whether that happens or not i don don't know. I mean, everybody's got their own opinion. I mean, do you guys want a casino in Dallas? I mean, I think you'll probably have a chance to vote for it if that gets to the point of it being that serious. But certainly, that's what they want. They want casino gambling here.

And I think if that ultimately presents itself, Dan, I mean, we're open to anything. We're not saying we wouldn't be a part of that. We're not saying that we don't want to be a part of that. I'm keeping myself, obviously, in all these discussions. We've had numerous discussions. Patrick DeMott and I have become very close. We talk about all these things. So I know what they're thinking, where they're going. I think they know what we're thinking or what we want. There's just a lot of things that have to happen in order for what you just described to happen. And what's the timeline on that?

Who knows? It could be 10 years from now. We all know 10 years is a lifetime. So I think we've got to get through the political hurdles in this state first before we even start to think about building anything. What's your involvement in that? In what? Helping casinos get- The political hurt. Yeah. I mean, are you-

Oh, a lot. I mean- Are you whining and dining politicians? I wouldn't say we're whining and dining, but are we having conversations? Yes. Have we had them? Yes. Will we continue to have them? Yes.

You know, we've had numerous meetings with the lieutenant governor. I've met with several state senators about the topic. I've met with people. I met with Jeff Leach, who's the House representative that sponsored the sports betting bill in the house the last session. So, yeah, we and we've got a lobbyist firm down in Austin that's working for us to try to get sports betting passed. I mean, Sands has their own army of lobbyists that are working to try to get brick and mortar casinos passed. So it's, again, another fascinating business component that's going on here that has a lot of tentacles to it, but there's a lot of unknowns around it too,

as we sit here today. Well, your job's changed a lot in 10 years, hasn't it? It has changed a lot. There's no question about it. The business is much bigger, much more sophisticated than it's ever been, which is good. It's also challenging. And I mean, you're talking about a lot of politics. You guys just hit on a lot of issues that we have, big picture issues, big money involving political decisions, some things out of your own control. But staying in the, we've got to stay involved. We've got to stay informed and just see where things play out. And then once they do kind of read and react and figure out what's good for the stars. All right. Well, we're very, I'm very fascinated by all this because yeah,

whatever's been happening for the past couple of years with Bally sucks. And it's got to, this has to be better. At least I'll be able to just see the game. Well, the distribute, yeah, you're going to see the game. It will be definitely better, 100% better. Yeah. And it sounds like it'll be evolving a lot in the next couple of years too. So it'll be fun to keep an eye on. You guys can talk about it.

We'll listen. And if you've got any thoughts as to how we can improve it, certainly we'll be listening because again, y'all be going through it the same time we are. Yeah. So having the viewership's feedback on things that either we missed or things that we can do better will be important. So I look forward to your either criticism or praise as we get going.

Yeah, I bet you don't look forward to that, but it will happen. Right. All right. Well, I'm sorry about sitting in the green room. We didn't know. I hope it was comfortable enough. We didn't know. I hope it was comfortable enough. We didn't know. We do have a – we would like to offer you a Dumb Zone tumbler.

Is that the one right there? Yeah, go ahead, Julie. Don't give them your Yeti. Don't give me your water bottle. I wasn't going to. And, in fact, I forgot to offer this to you, Brian. We do have this box of books that we like to offer all of our guests. If indeed you want it, it's the Accommodation.

It's really a fun book. It's about, here, hand that over to Brad. Yeah, it's a real knee slapper. It's a real fun book about racial tensions in Dallas back in the 1950s and 60s. So it's really good for the whole family. Thank you, Dad. And everybody, that's Brad Alberts, the president.

The president of the Dallas Stars. I feel informed. I know you have to go. I feel happy. And we're not taking a break, so I'll let Julie walk you out or something. Thank you, Brad. Thanks, man. There he goes.

That was dope, Dan. We're going to be able to watch the stars. Yeah. I was going to... Just stand up and say bye. He's just doing this... God!

Golly. White people! God. Golly. White people. Oh, my God. What do you have to say for yourself after that? I have to say that I love Lone Star beer. We're going to talk Lone Star beer just for a moment. The National Beer of Texas celebrating what?

I wore my shirt today. Oh, you wore your Lone Star beer. Because they have kick-ass merch. That's right. On the copy points, it not only mentions here that we are in collaboration with Lone Star Beer. I think you're getting that if we're talking about Lone Star Beer. But yeah, they do say, what was the term?

Was it kick-ass merch? Or just like really cool merch? They probably said really cool. It says awesome merch. Oh, awesome. Yeah. Which means kick-ass. Crisp flavor, which is kick-ass.

Check. And I'm going to have to check with you on this one, Danny. The CopyPoints claim, perfect with a tray of BBQ. Lone Star BBQ? It's a tradition, like no other. So while you're eating brisket, nothing would be better to wash that down. Ice cold Lone Star, baby. You were talking about how good hotels have yogurt.

Good barbecue places have Lone Star beer. Oh, really? You can tell if a place is good or not if they have Lone Star in the cooler. Yeah, he's right. So if they don't have, when you walk in, first thing you ask, do you have Lone Star beer? Right. And if not- You just leave.

You tear the place up. Well- Flip over a table. Yeah. Get out the gasoline cans and just start- Yeah. Yeah. Do a Goodfellas.

Yeah. Run away and then it'll explode behind you. Just take your Zippo and just flip it over your head. That's right. And then that'll be an intimidation factor for the other places to go ahead and get Lone Star beer. I think people would start to get the message, Dan. Right. But Lone Star beer is awesome. You know what I'm really into, though? What? Because I told you how I'm trying to look a lot better. It's not working as well for Brad Alberts as it is for Brad Alberts, but

Lone Star Light. How about a nice light beer? It's got all that refreshing, delicious Lone Star flavor, but it's easy on the calories, Dan. They've been brewing in Texas? 140 years? 140 years. That's longer than you. So they know how to do it. And me have been alive combined.

That's right. And that is a lot. Yeah, they are authentically Texan, just like you. I was born in Boston, but I got here as fast as I could, Dan. Interesting. That's a really bad point then, but they've been here for 140 years. Right. They're not a Yankee like you.

That's what I meant to say. I get it. They're not a carpetbagger like you. They'll be here for another 140 years. And they got the cool puzzles under the lid. And they got a cool sign here in our studio. Lone Star Beer. It's an original.

Well done. Lone Star Beer. Thanks, Lone Star. I had one this weekend. Oh, now he wants to turn it off. Now we're going to add. We've been doing the spot for five minutes. Well, you guys are talking too much.

Oh, Rob had a beer this weekend. No way. Stop the presses. No way. I had a Lone Star. Your weekend show. They had Lone Star on tap, but I'm going to have one of those. Nobody loves beer more than Rob Chicker.

And I'm a beer nerd. He is a beer nerd any place we go he's got to find uh beer right away where's the beer i'm rob so thank you lodestar as far as um back to brad alberts for a second he kind of asked and i knew what his answer would be, so I didn't even ask him. That didn't have to be in the mic? Why do you do that? So, I just had a little salmon coming up. Gross.

I'll give you $15 if after the show you will grab his mic, his windscreen, and just take three deep breaths. Just inhale the salmon belch. I remember the smell of a one-night stand. I don't think I want a casino. I think it would suck. You'd never go. Now I'm looking over here again. I've got to stop looking at the camera. You would never go?

I would want to see it. Yeah, like it sounds cool at first, but I don't know, man. I think that's just, it feels low rent. You think it's inviting an element that may not be so desirable? No, it's just, I don't know. I don't want to have to drive by it. I don't want to have to go, I don't know. Maybe it wouldn't. That's what it boils down to. He doesn't want to have to drive by it. I don't want to have to go. I don't know. Maybe it wouldn't.

That's what it boils down to. He doesn't want to deal with the traffic on 114. Yeah, and I wouldn't frequent it very much. You wouldn't go at all, unless there was maybe a concert, if they had a venue there. Well, yeah, no. If they had a Mads Games,

I would love to go. I think that'd be kind of cool. And I do think it'd be kind of cool to be able to gamble on the games right there. But I don't know. You know they'd buy a lot of remotes. Yeah, that's true. You'd have to be out there a lot anyway.

What are you drinking, Julie? How about getting near the mic? Where did you get a margarita? She just pulled it out of her purse. I think she has one just in case. You carry margarita with you? You're going to need it. I saw your mom game studio in here. You're being kind of mean to me today. I'm not going to have a margarita with you? You're going to need it. I saw your mom game studio in here.

You're being kind of mean to me today. I'm not going to have a margarita. It's going to make me feel better. Yeah, toughen up, buttercup. It goes well with my Yokira guacamole. Oh, okay. Why is everyone staring at me? I can tell you first.

Welcome to the mom game. You said you were checking out the mom game set and there's just wine everywhere and drinking. That Emily Jones will have a glass of red wine at like 1130 in the morning on a weekday. What is wrong with you ladies? And your point? She has a rule with herselfelf with that which I appreciate First red flag right there A rule if you have to have a rule for

Yourself it's not a good sign Emily's got like all the red flags And she'll admit it you know she's the Most OCD crazy person in the World but I also love her Because of it all but she Says if she's ever offered a drink Which I guess offering to yourself counts,

and her kids are not around, and it's during the day, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what time of day, whatever. You say yes. If your kids are not around, and you're a mom, and someone offers you a drink, you say yes. That's our rule. Okay. We don't need anyone to sign off on it? No, I think I now know how to roofie Emily Jones.

Yeah, I was about to say, how are you going to? She won't say no. Maybe I could try that Thursday. Thursday I'm going to be out at the game. You going to go? Thursday we have an event. Thursday night. Who's we?

The mom game. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. Well, there's an afternoon game. That's why we're going to be there. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Emily is working that game.

So I guess technically I maybe could go to the game and my event. I don't know. We fired up? How are we doing? Close to the wild card? No. No. I don't know. Are they mathematically out now? Close to the wild card? No. No. I don't know.

Are they mathematically out now? 0.1% chance of playoffs. Okay. They're struggling. But DeGrom is back. Scherzer's back just in time. There you go. Kumar's delivering as expected.

Yeah, he's awesome. Oh, is Kumar starting Thursday? He already started. Oh, I don't know. No, he's already started. Starting again. He's going to start. Part of the rotation. Like a pitcher, they don't have 162 starting pitchers, do they?

The Rangers are flirting with it. All right. Good sports joke. I think I heard Kumar Rocker is starting Thursday, and I'm going to stick with that. So join us. We're doing like the dumb zone day at the ballpark yeah how many dfs are going do y'all know like how many people like 300 yeah tickets and

stuff i think we have a whole section oh my god are you kidding i think no i'm not no that's great thanks that's so fun good job blake that's great you want to tell us about your event oh i'd love to so after uh the ranger game where uh rocker may or may not be starting then uh the mom game's having an event at kindra scott at north park and so if you're watching and you want to come or if you're a dude and you want to tell your wife about something cool to do maybe you're in the dog house for something uh kind of want her to go away yeah, maybe you need a night alone watching Thursday night football and push her out the door to North Park Mall

Kendra Scott, 6 o'clock to 8 o'clock this Thursday. It's going to be really cool because there's a sports theme, so they're going to have little stations set up for Mavs-centric jewelry, Rangers-centric jewelry, Stars-centric jewelry. And then, of course, we're pushing this new Cowboys line. I have my little Cowboys necklace on today. Okay. Yeah.

So just go over to the Mom Game. Could I get a Prince Albert? Socials. Do you know what that is, Julie? I know it's something gross, but I don't remember. What? Why would you assume that coming, Julie? I know it's something gross, but I don't remember. What? Why would you assume that coming from Dan?

That's ridiculous. Dan-ism that I've heard before, but I don't remember what it is. That sounds really dirty. Yeah. So anyway, go to the Mom Game socials because we're posting all about that and you can RSVP their page. Socials. What does that mean? You have them.

The dumb zone has a lot of socials Yeah I know but I don't know what it means It's like Twitter and TikTok and stuff Or Facebook You're always on Facebook you did Yeah always Looking for ass I'm looking for ass in the dumb zone fan group

Dude You think Danny falls for that? 35 singles in your area looking to hook up now. Yeah, I'm going to get a lot of that. Oh, my wife's going out of town Thursday. Isn't that sweet? She's going to Cleveland for a wedding and I don't have to go. How did you get out of that?

I don't know. It's like some friend of hers or something, but someone I don't really know. It's great. No, she knows that we're got a small business startup. She knows I got to try to stay back here and make bank. Well, after years of knowing you, she probably is aware of what to invite you to and what not to. She just probably didn't want to deal with the instant no. Did she even ask? She didn't ask. She didn't really ask me to go. She asked if I would mind if she went. And so then I had to play the game.

See. Oh, don't leave me. I'll take you to the airport. All of this. Gosh. There you go. There you go. I'm so sad.

I don't know, honey. I don't know how we can get by without you. All of this. It would be terrible me trying to just decide what to eat we can get by without you. All of this. Terrible me trying to just decide what to eat in about three seconds instead of the usual BS that we go through.

Yeah. And your whole like, you know, charade about being glad when she's gone and stuff. Definitely a charade. That's right. It is a charade.

And having some alone time. She feels that way too. You think so? Yeah. A lot of us wives do. We alone time. She feels that way too. You think so? Yeah. A lot of us wives do. We want y'all to get out too. And you think like I'm upset about that? Oh no.

No, I'm just letting you know. I'm so sad. It's like okay, fine. Just letting you know. We like our alone time too. It's not just you. We like when it's not stinky. Never stinky with me.

Well, that's good here's jake with the dumb lake was moving me along there and it's not jake it's danny man i had everything up and now it's gone all right i know i know it's terrible okay rob this is the video the the rock and roll concert video that i want to play for these guys so if you hadn't heard over the weekend the 90s alternative rock band jane's addiction has uh decided that it would be a good idea for they for them to go out on tour. And if you were in attendance at one of their concerts over the weekend that was, I believe, in Massachusetts. So we'll just go with that.

I think it was probably a Boston show. You were treated to 11 songs in. This going down on stage in front of a pretty packed house. That's Perry Farrell, their lead singer. Can you pause it? Yep. Rob can.

Is it sad that the badass bands from 20 or 30 years ago look like this now? What do you mean old he's just an old guy that doesn't look hardcore i mean i think he looks pretty good he's pretty fit for 60 i think those guys are almost 60 years old if not they're already but he's dressed weird no that's it's the clothes yeah it is pretty ridiculous, the stage wear. But, you know, it's part of the game. You get in that game, and more often than not, you've got to put on the suit. Yeah.

Okay, sorry. Yeah, no problem. Continue. That's his guitar player Dave Navarro And he takes a swing at him And wildly misses He does not want to let it up And here comes

I believe that's He throws a swing Two other guys come over and grab him Doesn't look like Dave Navarro Really wants to fight He wants to be a part of it And then it's like taking four guys to hold this old man back he is pissed and it takes three of them to get him off stage just to walk off stage still trying to work his way back on

so apparently this had been building up throughout the very brief tour and there's also massive history of this band being notorious for fighting on stage when i saw this posted our good buddy jeff lyles who is kind of the everything man over at the kessler theater in a long time uh advocate of the dallas music scene He posted back at a gig when they first came through town at Theater Gallery. He said that was going on in their dressing room the entire time, that they were just at each other's throats. They apparently do not get along. At a gig prior to this, there had been some audio issues

to where Navarro's guitar amp was too loud, and Perry Farrell couldn't hear himself sing, and this just kept building and building. And then in Boston, he got so pissed off about something. I think some fans had commented to him earlier in the show. It's like, hey, his guitar is so loud, we can't even hear your vocals. hey, his guitar's so loud, we can't even hear your vocals. And he walked over and yelled,

fuck you right into Dave Navarro's ear and then kind of bum-rushed him, gave him a body shot. And the song kind of stopped, and Navarro holds out his arm to give him some distance, and that's when he took the swing at him and he kind of glanced off his shoulder, and then they pulled him apart and uh the show ended and then the took about three or four days to get to this but from their looks appears to be their instagram account they issued this note it says we want to extend a benefit i'm sorry we want

to extend a heartfelt apology to our fans for the events that unfolded last night says last night but i think this took a couple days as a result we will be canceling tomorrow night show in bridgeport connecticut refunds will be issued at your point of purchase or if you purchase via third party reach out to them directly thank you jane's addiction so obviously something that was put together by their PR machine, signed by the band, not any one person holding themselves accountable for anything that happened. I don't believe any of them have spoken about it. Perry Farrell's either girlfriend or wife, I'm not sure if they're married, but she's the only one that's really come out and said anything,

and she's defending him, saying that they're too loud on stage, and he's been sick, and he can't hear himself and whatever that's not their fault what's that isn't it the guy who's mixing the concert well i mean for your stage volume is one thing and that's two separate entities you probably know that where you have your monitors and then you have the front of house the guy on stage is the monitors, but there's only one person that controls the volume of their guitar amp, and that's the guitar player. So it's not uncommon to have a guitar player in your band that is just loud as crap, and it affects the entire stage because they want it that loud.

These guys are old, too. They're deaf. They need to crank it up to be able to hear themselves, and I think that combined with just a history of combative dynamics between the members of that band, it just culminated in this. So whose side are you on? It sounds like you're on Perry's side. I couldn't give a rat's ass about either side.

I loved Jane's Addiction when I was younger and thought they were great, and their first three albums were wonderful. When they hung it up, I did too. Didn't really care much about them. Anyway, there's that story. I've got one more if you want. Have a seat over there, Brian. Tell us whose side you're on.

I would have liked to hear you chime in if you've ever had a situation like that while you're on stage. Music man. It is very common for a guitar player to play too loud. Yeah, I feel like now both of you guys hate your guitar players. I like my current guitar player. Ah, okay.

Back to that story. Ooh, maybe we figured out why he lost a member of his band. That's right. He didn't tag your wife. There was some volume level issues with the guy that no longer is in our band. They like to smell their own farts. Pretty much.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was never a big Jane's Addiction fan, but I know the history. Yeah, they're kind of a pain in the ass band. Yeah, they are difficult to deal with. It was like a toxic workplace. Yeah, very much so.

Who was the guy wailing on his stomach? I think that was the bass player, Eric. And I think him and Pharrell, the singer, don't have a good relationship either. So when he came in and started just pounding him in the stomach, yeah. Okay, I have a... I mean, can you imagine? You're on tour with these guys. And they're not...

I don't think they're big enough to where each one member would be able to have a dedicated tour bus to themselves. This venue probably held, what would you say, maybe 3,000, 4,000? Yeah, they're playing the bomb factory or factory or whatever. Maybe 7,000, somewhere around there. Yeah. Yeah, so it's not like they're generating enough revenue on the road. They're having to see each other and hang out. Yeah, so it's not like they're generating enough revenue on the road to, they're having to see each other

and hang out. Yeah, they're having to work. They're sleeping on bunk beds in their RV. I mean, they're not slumming it, you know, but they're also not, like I said,

having their own tour buses to themselves. Yeah, they're not doing it on their own. I think this was seriously like three or four days into their tour and now, by all measures,

it seems like it's canceled. Their hit song just is such a beating to me. Like, Jane said. Like that one. They got a lot of them that are kind of annoying to a lot of people. There was something about them that I just, I don't know. I like, I think Nothing's Shocking is a phenomenal album.

Yeah. Yeah. The one after that's not as good. But, yeah, they had their day. I feel bad for Jane. I need to send her to AA or something. Yeah. It's been a while.

Yes. Yes. She's been having to AA or something. Yeah. It's been a while. Yes. Yes. She's been having these problems since 1990. Yeah. Poor thing. What do we say? You've been thinking about AA, have you? No.

Don't push that. Not for her. Maybe for the lady that sits opposite her. Team Freudian there. That's all. Yeah. Why don't we save the state fair stuff for tomorrow? Is that cool with you guys and move on? Yeah, man. I don't give a. It's all. Why don't we save the state fair stuff for tomorrow? Is that cool with you guys?

Move on? Yeah, man. I don't give a... It's your show. It's your show. You can fight him if you don't agree. Let's save it. It'll be good for tomorrow. Yeah. No, I would have to care then. Yeah, that's true. You'll never see Dan and I act like those two. Like who cares less

between the two of you. Two of the most laid back humans. I'm going to beat your ass with apathy. That's how I'll win. You haven't been around for very long. What? You may eat those words. Oh, I'm not going to ever get mad at you.

Stirring the pot. Okay. There's no reason. Blake once thought he'd never get mad at me. No, no, I'm saying I will never get into me. I don't think I'll ever get in an argument with Dan where I'm like yelling and screaming. But I think we will. Okay.

See? Hey! You do you, baby. Will we ever get in a sports argument over like a hot take? Oh. Like we're docking. Never. I feel like Dak will never win the big one.

I don't care as little about things as you do, but I'm real close. All right. Want to do some mail? Oh, you're done with news. I just thought you were done with that story. Enough of me. Okay. Enough of me.

People don't tune in for me. Yes, they do. They want Uncle Hotmail. Or whatever slit gasher or whatever they're calling you these days. I don't know what you're saying. Stick around. The first one, I have a photo accompanying it for vid people. A couple of birthdays, but we start with college football.

This is from Jameson, who says, Uncle Beave. See? You got that photo? Oh. That means no. That means no. All right. Let me start with Dear Captain Hatchet Wound.

I'm so sorry about all of this uh rich not just a julie but to kind of the world baker mayfield for mvp okay number three playing pretty good somebody was telling me about the baker mayfield mvp odds like i could really get some good value there. There you go. There he is. But I wonder if it's less and less. Wait until they lose and then do it. Yeah. Well, what if they don't? Well, Dak said a team hasn't gone undefeated in 50 years. So it'll never happen again.

Yeah. Who knows more about football than Dak? Yeah, totally. Picture or no? Okay. Uncle Beav, I'm watching the uncomfortably named Civil War game against Oregon and Oregon State. I can't help but think of you every time we get a close-up of Oregon State's jerseys. So the state that was not involved in the Civil War can call their college battle the Civil War?

Apparently so. In Oregon State, their jerseys say Beavs on it. I mean, were they serious? Like, was someone at the uniform factory just snickering as they did this? Why? Why would that be funny? Why is it funny to you? Why are you reading it as a piece of mail if it's not funny? Because it's somebody sent it.

He's just a good listener, and I just read every piece of mail sent to me. Do they play South Carolina this year? I like it. Beavs. I like it a lot. Huh? I like it a lot. No, go ahead.

She doesn't get it. No, she gets it. No. Danny and I are on the same wavelength. Yep. I said the Beavs are headed south for a big matchup. Between. Between.

See, she doesn't get it. No. It's the smaller cranium. What would their nickname be? South Carolina's nickname. The G. The G? The G what?

Are they the GC? Mm-hmm. Okay, now she knows. I don't want to say that word because I'm a lady. That's right. Back to your margarita. And I do get it. Julie does not like any...

Will you say it in dirty talk? I won't answer your question because I'm a lady. One thing I can tell you that I've learned from hanging out with the mom zone last couple of weeks. Julie does not like any pseudonyms. What did I say? Brad Albert said Mom Zone. That was pretty sweet, isn't it? Did I say Mom Zone?

I did? You did. Mom Game. She doesn't like any pseudonym for the female erotic area. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, well. She doesn't like any of those names.

This is the perfect segment. That's why I love the fact that she's in here for mail. Dear Uncle Lint Licker, my good buddy and podcast host Pat is celebrating his Fergie Jenkins birthday. Hopefully that's easy enough for Jake. Jake doesn't like the bit of trying to figure out what Fergie Jenkins' number is. There's no way to know that, even. Hopefully he's woken up in that special way.

More Jake, just enough Dan, more Heart Attack Man from DJ Finger Blast. I'd like to see him spin sometime. Dear Uncle Santa Claus, three years into an HIV diagnosis looking ass. Oh my gosh. It's too wordy. You had me at Uncle Santa Claus. My birthday is today. Thanks from Josh Flippin.

But it didn't hurt. Because he, it's Jeffrey with one E in the name. Wait. J-E-F-F-R-Y? Yeah. Oh, wow. Interesting. Isn't that weird?

No. That's what. Do you remember this guy from O2? Well, I certainly remember him from, but I remembered his name was spelled Jeffrey. Could you pick him out of a lineup right now? As long as he was the only Indian guy in this room. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Like, he was the Indian intern.

We didn't have a bevy of those. We're going full Bollywood, baby. He remembers that Jeffrey spells his name with one E. Right. He doesn't remember what he did yesterday. Right. It's interesting. You're an interesting study, Dan McDowell.

I'm not mean. We're just having fun here Julie Just a tease On this day in 2007 OJ Simpson was arrested in the Alleged armed robbery of sports memorabilia Collectors in Las Vegas He was then Found guilty sentenced to

9 to 33 years in prison He would be released in 2017. The most horribly planned caper that you could ever concoct. If you've seen any of the documentary stuff, they cover that. It's unbelievable what a

bad idea that was from all areas. He's just trying to make money off of sports stuff? No no somebody had stolen some of his memorabilia and rather than i don't know calling the police to go get it back he took a bunch of cronies with him and one of them had a freaking handgun kicked in or actually went into a hotel room where this guy was staying that had allegedly all this stuff. And the gun was brandished and pointed at a dude's head.

And it just went sideways real quick. And cops were involved and that all happened. And most of it was all on camera. Wow. Yeah. That doesn't seem like him. I know. It was a step down, you know.

Poor OJ. May he rest in peace. That's true. I want him to rest in penis. I want him to be dead, covered in a blanket of severed penises for all of eternity. On this day in 2014, after a day of public pressure from angry fans, and sponsors, the Vikings reversed course and placed star running back Adrian Peterson

on the exempt commissioner's permission list while he addressed a felony charge of child abuse in Texas. Hey! Yeah, Texas! You remember this is when he was disciplining his four-year-old son with a wooden switch, which sounds very 1930s. More recent than that.

1970s. Really? The word switch? Yeah. What is a switch? I got the switch. It's a stick you get off of a tree, like a kind of a pliable, it's like a green part of a tree. It's not like hard and dried. It's a stick you get off of a tree, like a kind of a pliable, it's like a green part of a tree.

It's not like hard and dried. It's like, you know. It's bendy. Yeah, it's bendy. And it's about, you know, anywhere from three to five feet long. Is it worse than the wooden spoon? Yeah, because it's got those little buds on it that'll leave welts on your legs, back of your legs. You grew up in Texas. Did you ever have to pick your own switch?

Yes, 100%. I know it's cliche, but I did. And like Eddie Murphy said, you don't show back up with a twig because dad will go out and rip up the whole fucking tree. Yeah, you don't want your dad to pick out the switch. You do not.

You never got switched when you were a kid? No, we got the belt. We were not low rent like you guys here. No, no, no. We had an armament. There was a cache of different disciplinary tools at hand at all times. Razor strap. You know what a razor strap is, Dan?

Oh, goodness. No. It's a big strap that they used to sharpen a straight razor. Yep. Granddaddy had one of those used to sharpen a straight razor. Yep. Granddaddy had one of those, and they'd use that. Your granddaddy? Well, it was my granddaddy's, but Dad would grab it. So you go to grandparents' house, you're not supposed to.

Grandpa never beat you, did he? No, no, no, no. No, of course not. Yardstick? Yeah, the yardstick. How about put out a cigarette on your arm? No, he never did that. That's what his ashtray in the Galaxy 500 was for.

You know what that is?

Of course I do. Ah! Ah! Ah! They pepper that thing. You know what that is? It's everywhere. It's like a very famous sound effect that was used in a movie like in 19-whatever, 50. So that person with all the hair did that?

No, that was Dan Fahrenheit. Yeah. DF. The original DF. I'm kidding. That person wasn't the screamer? Well, he might have at some point. That guy looks like he was in Dokken.

Doesn't he? Like the Fahrenheit guy? That's not Fahrenheit, is it? Yeah. That's Daniel Fahrenheit. That's Dan Fahrenheit. Okay. I can't keep up.

That's Mr. Fahrenheit? Yeah, Sheb Woolley is not him. But Wilhelm is not him either. But the Wilhelm scream has come to be put in many, many famous movies. In fact, I think I put it in one of my big cheers for Friday. You pretty excited about that, Blake? Yeah. And died on this day in 2013, Patsy Swayze.

I'll do what I can, sir i'll do make sure yeah thank you anything i can do to support the dumb zone thank you man including your sweet dude monthly subscription and thank you yeah um let's see i'm a 1.3 listener also you listen faster huh yeah it's weird being in studio and listening to it at regular time. We're all so slow. Wow.

Well, I bet the silences are just excruciating, too. If I got to get it all in when I'm doing my stuff, I got to listen to it in 1.3. Okay. Would you rather we just broadcast less time? It doesn't matter. Okay. Really?

So it sounds like this. Usually I sound like this. Oh, he doesn't have the headphones on, so it's not as funny to him, Rob. Put your cans on. This will now be barely funny to him. It doesn't change the pitch.

It doesn't make you sound like a chipmunk by listening at 1.3. You still retain the integrity of your normal timbre of your voice. Dan. Are you sure that's true, Danny? It sounds like I'm talking a lot faster. You know what's funny, Rob? When you put the chipmunk harmonizer on people, they always try to talk to it so they get more chipmunky.

Sounds like I'm talking like this in real life. It's funny. It's like sucking in helium. Yeah. You don't know me. You start talking like that. You life. It's funny. It's like sucking in helium. Yeah. You don't know me. Start talking like that. I don't know what I'm doing. I can hear you, and you're trying to do chipmunk.

So say something real low like this. Won't you lick my ass, penis? Will that be on DZ TV? I don't think so. Oh, okay. You can't say the word ass or penis on DZ TV? I don't think so. Oh, okay. You can't say the word ass or penis on DZ. Oh. That was...

That was a jarring... Anyway. Back to... Turn that stuff off. Sorry, bruv. Oh, that's all right. Sorry that I thought you were like... I thought you guys were with...

Oh, that's. It gets us all. This is the first time I've ever participated in any knockout leagues. It seems so every year. I'm like. This is easy. It'll be like. All I got to do is.

Just a winner. Yeah. Doesn't have to be the spread yeah well welcome i appreciate it uh i almost got bob and dan in trouble one day running the stars post game show running the stars post game i was board hopping at the ticket oh former employee there okay there. Okay. And fill in spare. And running the board one night, trying to hit the post at the end of the game with the sounder. Mm-hmm. And the game was over, several goals up. And then someone iced the puck.

And so here comes up and Bomb Dad come up, and the game is technically still going with like five or six seconds on the. So how did that almost get us in trouble? Well, I think you told me. Oh. Hey, we can't be doing this while the game is still going. Oh, okay. And so I just hit the.

Was I an asshole? Bob was. You weren't. Okay. Yes. Thank you. Bob was an incredible asshole to me. Oh.

How so? Just running different, you know, when you're running the board and trying to screen calls and, I don't need this guy. Him under my ear for two minutes. That's a pretty good fake Bob. He's a lovely man, but he was just not nice to me on the few occasions I worked with him. That's a tough bullets flying thing to throw somebody in because usually you're working the night shift because you just started in the game. And so you don't, like a live show is not

usually in your repertoire and all of a sudden now you have to like it's easy just hitting spots for network right oh yeah i was working weekends for several years oh okay so even with you had a little experience under your belt you weren't really stringing calls for a rant or anything like that. Yeah. So that there was no producing or anything like that. What's your last name? Helm. Ah, Jason Helm. Of course, I know you. Hey, Dil. Yeah.

You're Hey, Dil. Yes. All right. The highest point I ever rose to at the ticket was being streamed at for Hey, Dil. Yeah. That's awesome. He gave up the O was being screamed at for Hey Dill. That's awesome. He gave up the OU store. Hey Dill.

That's great. I think I say that once a week. Hey Dill. Yeah, wrote a song about that. Appreciate that. The whole story. Have you heard it? Sure you have. I have.

There's t-shirts and everything. I saw not one nickel. That goes. Well, you didn't say it he did i know yeah good point you are the deal i am the deal right yeah not like i got a nickel for that either but did write a song it's jason helm what a great day what a surprise what a a little Easter egg. He didn't leave with that. Right. It's when you're Dill.

I don't know that that's what you leave with. Yeah, when you walk in, you've got to say, hey, I'm the Hey Dill guy. Just embrace it. Yes. Like Hank Kingsley is the Hey Now guy. You're the Hey Dill guy. I'll remember that. Okay.

And I'm Hey Dill's brother-in-law. That's right. Is that how you're known? I guess. It is now. Do you get special seats at restaurants and stuff like that? You probably know me. I'm the guy that made Corby yell Haydell

because he gave the Oklahoma score, I believe, Kansas. Were you just trying to be mean? I was trying to help him. No, I was not. Oh, really? No, I was being a jerk. I thought it was innocent. It was. I was being a jerk. I thought it was innocent. It was.

I was being a jerk. Even better. I'm a big Husker fan, and so we always hated Oklahoma. Better dead than Sooner Red. Sooners were playing K-State. It's on the monitors in the studio there, and I just, in their ear, K-State scores. And that's when, you know. Hey, hey, Jill.

Jill. What's up with that Huskers quarterback? He seems like he's pretty good. I think we're back. Yeah. That's not why Dan was asking. The Mahomes guy? Doesn't he imitate Mahomes?

He does. Yeah. Looks a lot like him. That's why I'm asking why. True freshman. I'm saying you weren't asking because of his play on the field. Oh, because he's all Mahomes-y and he's good. Yeah, Mahomes clone.

Yeah, but he does the Mahomes thing before the game and everything. It's funny. Or annoying. It is what it is. We're happy to have him. Yeah. Happy to have him. Was that the end of the list?

I want to know what is the exact definition of well. Was that a Cleveland player that was also a Ranger? Was it a Ranger that was all – Did it have to be either Cleveland Indian player at that time or Milwaukee player and they also played for the Rangers? Or was it just could be any Milwaukee player or any Cleveland player? I'm trying to remember.

That was certainly a Mike Reiner creation, right? Where he would do the, well, and I think it was just anybody who had played for Cleveland. And maybe then it morphed into Milwaukee if Bob mentioned someone from there. I don't think they had to also play for the Indians. Although, Mike Reiner

and I were both fascinated by the sheer volume of players who happened to play for both franchises. There's quite a few. Look it up. Very few that have played for all three, but a couple of them out there. Sure. So they say. Look it up. Very few that have played for all three, but a couple of them out there. Sure.

So they say. So they say. That's all I got. Okay. We met the Hey, Deal guy. That's awesome. He's been sitting here for almost three hours. Brian Bow.

That's right. We didn't even need to do my thing. We could have just done the Hey, Deal thing. Yeah. No, and I thought these guys were with you the whole day. Can't wait to call Corby tonight. Yeah, I thought you guys were doing high-level comedy. I did get to ask Corby at the 25th anniversary if he ever wanted to apologize for that.

He said no. That's when he knew I was being a jerk to him. Right, right. We kind of rehashed the story and why and all that. So it was... I love that that was on purpose because I thought he was berating an innocent man, but clearly you were.

The best part of it was that no one knows about. So, you know, the rant ended at, you know, 10 o'clock or whatever it was, or noon, I think. So gather my stuff, get on the elevator to go downstairs

and Corby's getting on the elevator to go downstairs, and Corby's getting on the elevator at the same time. I accept your apology. So it was, I was being a jerk, but it was, you know, all in good fun. And, you know, who knows who's recording what or whatever, but yeah. Well, that's something. Adios, mofo. We gotta go before this becomes a zoo. Thank you for watching my video.
