You are listening to subscriber only content.
It just seems like this is the theme song now, doesn't it?
It sure does.
It doesn't feel new.
Feels regular.
We may have more heat this weekend.
We shall see.
I agree.
Happy Tuesday.
You know what?
I don't think we did it yesterday.
I'm Dan McDowell.
I'm Jay Kemp.
I'm Blake Jones.
Clayton Kimbrough is his name.
He's the man in charge of our video and our seat height.
What a scene before the show.
I hope people got to see that.
Head depth and seat height.
He's on that wall.
Are his two.
You need that.
depth, seat height, fast food deals.
That is what you get with Foodie, CK.
Who is here as well?
Here is the Game Day Men's Health Studios, downtown Dallas.
You can go to Game Day Men's Health, get 10% off TRT for life if you just mentioned the Dumb Zone.
It's supposed to be for like the 12 area locations in Dallas.
We've heard people say, yeah, I went to the one in Austin, told them the Dumb Zone sent me and they gave me 10% off.
so try it gameday dot dumbzone.com get your prostate check man what's going on in there
i don't know there are things going on yeah wait what was i just watching uh the charlie sheen
documentary was it the charlie sheen documentary or was it the jerry documentary oh it was charlie
sheen because yes he got the aides and stuff i don't know if this is why
The butt-sex thing?
Yeah, no, but they had a video.
No, it's the Jerry documentary.
So you saw this, unless you just listened.
But part of the Jerry documentary was when they hired Barry Switzer.
They start showing this video.
And it's like, what is, that looks disgusting.
Is that like the inside of a throat going down into his stomach?
What is that?
And then it's, then you hear Barry's voice.
and he goes, yeah, I'll never forget that day because that he called me,
I had just had a colonoscopy.
There it is.
I'm like, that's what they were just showing me on there, the inside of a backside?
I didn't need to see that in the Jerry documentary.
He could have just said a colonoscopy.
I got it.
No, I need to see it.
I think the only problem is that it wasn't Barry's actual colon from a continuity standpoint.
Like with a little, there be some national championship trophies in there hanging off the little.
Yeah, a gun.
A gun.
That's where he put it.
That's where he should have put it.
Yeah.
And he got pulled over or got caught in the airport.
My God.
Today, what is today?
Today is National Guacamole Day, my man.
That's why we have all this Yokeero around?
I don't, we always have some Yokiero around, but it's not usually sitting out.
Yeah, it's National Guacamole Day.
So where's Tara from Yokchiero?
She'll be here.
She's getting tacos and we'll be here.
Yeah, for you to slather up with Yokiro guacamole or bean dip.
The black bean dip is fire.
I went through a serious Yokiro phase where I was just every day.
Your protein chips.
Just dumping it on protein chips.
Tortoise chips.
It's phenomenal.
So today we have a little weird on the schedule as I'm looking at the run sheet.
Tuesday, September 16.
Show number 429.
That's not, doesn't make sense what you just did there.
A lot of heavy football in the very end of the program.
We will have author, former Dallas Morning News columnist, way back when in the 80s,
Gary Myers, he has written a Cowboys book, but he's written a current book called Brady v. Velichick.
Comes out today.
Yeah.
So we're interested to talk to him about that.
That's at 1 o'clock if you're watching us live today.
If not, it's in about an hour and a half.
And then after that, we'll be Brandon Aubrey, the hero, the man that apparently the nation is now...
It's weird.
He nails these kicks all the time.
All the time.
His percentage from beyond 50 yards is insane.
But now everybody's noticing because it was a game-winning kick.
Or like the game tying, 64, and then a game winning in overtime.
And so he's being pulled in all different directions, but still has time for a little of us.
I think it's a couple things.
Maybe I should just save this for him, but I think it's also that there's a lot of new guys on their team.
I think Jerry...
He never heard, didn't know who he was?
Listen.
They showed a video after the game.
I just think there's a lot of guys who aren't really paying attention to who the kicker of any team is other than their own.
And it's as far as, do I trust this guy or not?
The kicker is almost like an umpire, right?
Or a ref?
Or a center.
Offensive lineman, yeah.
You don't, if you don't hear about him, that's usually pretty good.
If you hear about him, it's more often than not that something's going awry.
we should maybe get rid of him. Let's look at other kickers.
You don't usually hear about a kicker because he's so good.
It's like they're all just kind of bunched in there.
They're just kickers.
Right. You've got to be one of the all-time great.
You've got to change the game.
They're baseball set up men.
They're interchangeable.
And then occasionally, though...
Sorry, Brandon Webb.
Last night was brutal, bro.
I don't even want to talk about it.
Well, that's good that you don't want to talk about it.
Because I don't even know what you're talking about.
What happened?
Rangers.
You weren't watching Baker, bro?
It was over.
Do you see that game?
I did.
I saw the second half.
It was incredible.
All you needed was the last few minutes.
I love it.
Baker Mayfield.
And then his post-game press conference, he's just, you have to watch it,
but his little facial expressions are so sarcastic, and he's just,
he's his final form.
I'll give him that.
I could see them making a deep run.
I mean, now that's not that impressive, but.
look out for the bucks
all right forget about salary cap all that kind of stuff
stop doing this dude
i would still take deck
you're taking dack over baker mayfield
have you been watching football for two weeks
the dude is dealing
i'm probably going baker now this is the best
version of dack we've had in a long time
i just see
deck and it's like i'm looking in a mirror
when i see a guy running
but he's just
kind of maybe
anyway
baker's been very
good.
DAC has been better.
Who has better MVP
odds right now?
Let's look it up.
They were really close.
I think Baker was
2,500,
DAC maybe 2,800?
If you care,
PFF currently has DAC
as the second highest-rated
starting quarterback
through two weeks.
Dude,
should I have got on Baker
yesterday before that came?
I tried to tell you.
I thought you did.
I didn't.
I was very busy.
So busy.
I'm on my site has to verify I'm human
Dude I got hit with one this morning
I'll send you a wiener pick
Maybe do a puzzle
I'm not doing this shit
I'd rather be a robot
How about when you do puzzle
And you kind of can't get it right
Yeah it's just
I don't know
Is there a bicycle in this picture
That looks kind of like
I look like a motorcycle to me
What's a moped
Now
Baker plus 2,000
So you've lost some value
It went from minus 1,200
Or no plus 1,200
2,500
and now 2,000.
Okay.
DAC plus 3,500.
Get on it, big boy.
Who says I'm not already?
Throw your little $2 on it.
I'm already on it, dude.
Somehow.
After week one.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Because I knew that the old DAC that gets in the MVP race is here.
I don't know what else to tell you guys.
So kind of had a gummy thought yesterday.
It was when I was out at night walking the dogs.
And this happened for the second time in a week.
But it's a, there's just this high-pitched sound,
a weird whizzing, whirring sound, and it was a drone.
These drone, this drone was just flying over the house.
Did you get your tactical shoddy?
It seemed to kind of fly right to my house and then back.
And this happened last week, too, or earlier in the week.
Yeah.
And so I'm thinking, I don't know, is this somebody, are they actually looking at us?
Is it just somebody playing with their drone?
I don't give a F.
I know exactly what I'm doing.
What?
Throw everything you have at it and crush it.
It was way high.
There's no way.
Okay.
This is why he wants to learn to throw.
Okay.
Well, just keep throwing stuff at it until, because you can get it a lot higher up there than you think.
Until they move the drone.
And then from there, get a BB gun.
If someone's flying a drone over your house, wreck it.
Unless it's Qualis roofing.
In which case, they've got the proper permits.
You know what they're doing up there.
Just some...
That's why Qualis left Jake's property.
I don't know that we have, like, what's the laws on this?
I don't actually know.
Yeah, is that your airspace?
Like, can someone fly a drone into your backyard and just kind of hang it out over your pool?
Can they just hang up, yeah, and take videos?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Guns.
Right.
And your wife out there on the lawnmower?
You don't want that getting on the internet, bud.
You're going to have to set up only mowers.
Only mowers.
No, but what do you do?
Well, so the thing is, though, I was really freaked out.
And it's twice in a week.
A drone.
And it's pretty high up.
Like, you couldn't hit it with a base.
You couldn't hit it with anything.
Couldn't hit it with an eight iron.
Really high up.
Because I finally could locate, oh, there it is.
And so I'm walking.
I'm freaked out.
I don't know why.
And I'm standing, like, I'll go walk under a tree.
I'm just going to stand under here.
I don't want it to see me.
Like, what's going to do?
Exactly.
It's to snuff you out.
Well, then a plane flew overhead because we live kind of in a flight path for DFW.
I was like, well, that didn't bother me at all.
Why am I bothered by this drone?
Because you know who's controlling that plane, and there's,
a freaking litany of regulations regarding that plane.
That's completely different.
We're not regulating drones?
I mean, I'm sure we are to a degree, like T.C.
Can you not fly it around a stadium?
You can't fly it around downtown.
I know that.
Oh, really?
Down Dallas has some sort of, because I think it's like...
Dron law?
There's some drone law related, I think, to like hospitals,
fire stuff, police.
I don't know.
Clayton may know better than me,
but there's definitely places where you can't.
I don't know how that extends to a residential neighborhood.
Dude, you know a lot about drone law
Dude, T.C. has been
like getting in trouble for this a lot.
He's wrecked several drones in places
he wasn't supposed to have them
so then he can't go get it back
because it's like on the roof of AT&T.
Oh.
He's
there's guys out there messing with drone law
for sure.
Shoot it.
Get a BB gun or something
and carry it around with you. It'll be fun.
Well, like everything Jake says,
is the dumb zone does not support Jake Kemp and his wild ideas.
A net gun.
Just capture it.
Oh, yeah.
I've always wanted a net gun.
Never actually seen one.
Did they make them?
Like on cartoons.
Like, hell yeah.
I bet they have them at gun shows and stuff.
That or like a less lethal that shoots like a hard rubber bullet.
That way you're not, you know, worrying about bullet drop and hurting somebody, but you can still take the drone out.
What about this?
This should become a more common thing.
We should be uniting against...
What if I get a drone...
Guaranteed China's involved here somehow.
Dron fights?
What if I get a drone?
Yeah, and get up there, and I'm like just trying to knock it out of the sky.
That sounds awesome.
Kind of like the German or Japanese, whatever, you know, in World War II.
Or you've got these air battles.
Your own iron dome like Israel and just anything that enters your space,
something leaves from the ground and terminates it before it gets any closer.
I like it.
I want an Iron Dome.
Eventually people, you're paying for one for someone else right now.
Eventually, I just think people are going to,
they're going to buck back at the drone,
but they're going to come around to my way here.
It's not something you should just be allowing.
Yeah, my neighbor will order stuff from Walmart
and do the drone drop off,
and it'll just hover above his house for way too long, it seems like.
And I just hear it outside.
It's an incredibly annoying noise.
You got to kind of go away, and then you're like, which way that, where is it?
Like, is it that way?
Yeah, you're trying to follow the drone.
It's really annoying.
Maybe that's what it is.
Maybe this is just delivery drop-off, and I'm getting worried about nothing.
Yeah, but he knows it's delivery drop-off because it's going to his neighbor's yard.
We've seen it do it before.
It may hover too long, but it goes to that person's yard.
Yeah.
Just buzzing around the neighborhood, snooping.
Isn't that a way to get drugs into a prison, too?
Dron.
Yeah, I think I've heard about that.
I mean, I imagine it happens, yeah.
It's better than butt.
I would think so.
So get your drone looked at for prostate.
Prostate cans.
Go to game day.dron.
Yeah.
All right.
Want to do some sports?
I definitely do.
So I have a sports announcement, too.
And now.
Oh, yeah, I like that.
It's time.
for I have a sports announcement, too,
which is just that on Tuesday,
we're trying to get our false sked all in order,
and generally this is the time or this day
we would have machine on to talk a little fantasy.
Now, I'll tell you what, first couple weeks,
he's given some really good tips on guys to pick up
because I've followed them.
That's what I've heard.
And so, yeah, we're going to do that tomorrow morning.
We just got too much today with Gary Myers and Brandon
and drones
there's just
you just can't fit him in
Yokiero
so tomorrow morning
it will be
Dan Blake and Machine
we're going to record a quick
kind of a fantasy update
ads drops
all that kind of stuff
for people who are into that
so you can get that information
before
the waiver picks
on Wednesday evening
which most leagues are into
so we're going to record
that and put it out tomorrow as bonus
content. Subscriber only
content. That is my
sports
announcement.
Okay, I would like us to
do a little bit of an examination here.
I think you had some audio from
Shottie's press conference yesterday. You wanted to
play, correct? Yeah.
Let's hear that.
Okay.
Hold on a second.
I'm going to open this, because you wanted
some from the other day to you.
I've got the other ones.
Oh.
My bad.
Here, let's try this.
So they were asking, yeah, Shottie had his press conference.
Not a lot to learn there, I don't think.
I don't know if he's listening.
But did he used to ask himself a question on every press conference?
He did.
Actually, four or five times.
Has he, in the last two press conferences, he hasn't.
So some of the bingoes are not there, but this was a bingo that was there.
when they asked him your first win.
What did you do after your first win?
You know, just kind of hung out with the family and spend some time.
Buzz it.
Upset of the year, he doesn't say fam.
I know his tattoo says family, but hung out with the fam.
Just great progress.
You know, just kind of hung out with the family and spend some time.
And I would have thought that my wife would have, like, had a nice meal,
but we got some pizza.
I mean, imagine that.
You know, we just got some.
Okay.
So first of all, it's up with this.
It's won my first game.
Why are you, why is your top on?
Yeah, I must have, what are we doing here?
I must have just won a game for, you know, Richland, right?
Or Haltam.
No, it's the Dallas effing cowboys.
What are we doing here?
How about a spread?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I would have thought that pizza.
Yeah.
My wife would have like had a nice meal, but we got some pizza.
I mean.
And now some would say the nicest meal of all.
Dude, yeah.
Are you kidding me?
What if your wife, what if you had the option right now of going home, your wife had either cooked a meal or pizza?
Or you have this, yes.
Yeah, I think it's pretty simple.
I would have, like, had a nice meal, but we got some pizza.
I mean, imagine that.
You know, we just got some pizza and had a couple shotties.
The lemons were flowing strong because I wasn't the only one drinking shoddies.
but no, no, no, no.
That is the bingo.
Shaddy?
That's what you wanted to hear?
Yeah, so the other day, it was this.
First win, only $199 more, right?
To pass him, yeah.
I'm going to enjoy this one.
Midnight rule.
I've told you guys this one, right?
Midnight.
I'm going to enjoy it.
I'm going to have a couple shoddies tonight.
And at midnight, I'm going to go to bed and wake up, and we're on to Chicago.
Okay, so he says in that first clip you played, the lemons were flowing.
I'm going to have had. Did he say shoddy in that one? Yeah, have a shoddy. There he said just shoddy. He didn't get specific about the drink.
When does your voice come back? After a few shotties.
If you guys let me leave, I'm going to go have a couple, three lemons, right? Vodka water, three lemons. But it'll come back tomorrow. We'll be back to me. When you guys talk tomorrow, I'm going to have great juice.
Okay. The lemons are flowing, vodka water, three lemons. Here's the investigation we need to do.
do here. His name is
Brian Schottenheimer, right?
There is a form of
drinking known as taking a shot.
Okay, so he's not doing that. That shot
could be anything, right? It could
be any sort of spirit.
It's not a mixed drink.
No. You could maybe
make their shots that involve two different
forms of alcohol. There's shots that involve
two different forms, whatever,
but they, nobody's putting
water and lemon juice in a shot.
So he's talking
about a cocktail here um but but he keeps my name is not cocktail yeah okay but your name also
isn't old-fashioned heimer so you don't get to just apply it and say like a shot is a thing
so now he's like i'm gonna have a shoddy well what's a shoddy it's you know vodka
water it's a lemons well as my friends from lubbock point out this is called a chilton
and it's a west texas drink it's a worldwide drink but this would be like if your friend
came up to you and was like, dude, I got a new one.
I got, I was in the lab.
I call it the Kemp.
Coke, splash of rum.
You'd be like, that already exists.
That's not special to you.
So you can't, first of all, take the fact that your name is shoddy and keep saying take a
couple shoddies because it means a shot and then try to crib someone else's cocktail
as your own.
It's a shoddy.
Little water, a little lemon, a lot of lemon, vodka.
That drink already exists, you bum.
you don't get to claim it and you're not taking shots
so stop calling it a shoddy and just say I had a couple vodka waters
is there any chance jerry would ever hire a coach that didn't drink no
no not not to at least you know the appease him degree
because McCarthy would talk about like putting back beers with him and stuff but no
yeah and maybe parcels just existed on a different plane of like i am not your friend
so this doesn't have to be this way but barry was hired on the strength of drinking
buddy for sure
for sure
so I think this is
something we need to monitor and also
I wouldn't hate it if one of the reporters was like
hey on a Wednesday here fun day
can we just get clarification you keep saying
went home and took a couple shotties and had
a couple shotties what is that drink
is it a shot
because if it's not stop saying
that okay
I think that's really what holds the
investigative reporting of the
yeah
of the
I think we could do better. I think we could do better.
I'm going to call this like apology day or clarification day
because we had a couple things happen over the weekend that people are having to
apologize for or clarify. The first one is our good friend Brian Kelly, the head coach at
LSU. As his team pulled out a bit of a nail bit of a nail bider against the average Florida
a team was it 20 to 10 20 to 10 it was a gross game but they won it and here's how the press
conference started yeah there was a one of the SEC classics right two teams just battling um we did
whatever was necessary to win the game um you know defensively obviously the five turnovers um
playing to our defense.
Grant Chadwick was outstanding.
I'm sorry that that doesn't sound appealing to you folks,
but I really don't care.
We're trying to win football games.
We flipped field position.
I think he had four inside the 20.
All right.
So you can see where the tone is set here.
There's obviously...
This wasn't good enough for you guys.
There's something going on.
He's aware of like, hey, we're winning.
We won week one.
Why are you bitching?
But they didn't play that well in week one.
so I'm letting you know he's already on the defensive and sometimes I think as fans you got to
understand there are ways to lose that game if you're not smart and I thought we were very smart
in the way we manage the game and managing it well so let's fast forward a little bit to win the game
really proud of our group so with that questions Brian in the back I know you you love these
immediate post game sessions but what are you seeing with your offense stop really is that the first
question okay what so the what the reporter said also is indicating and i want to talk about this
a little bit because we were talking yesterday about cd and how hyped up these guys are and i look
i love for chaos purposes the way that american sports media works it's very weird that it's like
hey, I know you just did something
that's like the equivalent of like the Roman gladiators
for our time. Can you sit here and
talk to Nick Eatman for five
seconds? John Machota's over here, Nick here,
and this is a bunch of guys. They're handing your face
being like, what'd you screw up? Why'd you
screw it up? And it's a
crazy thing. Coaches
aren't out there like roided up,
teed out of their mind, but they are
still kind of in the fight a little bit.
And for 10 minutes after
then people would be like, what happened?
I get why they're pissed off, but
college coaches, no, I can just say whatever.
But that's not an unfair question.
It's not an unfair question.
I go back and forth on whether or not the reporter should have prefaced it with,
I know you hate this.
Because you do that to soften the blow, but you're also peaking his like, oh, you mother.
Yeah, but he's got a job to do something I hate.
Yeah, and listen, it's Apology Tuesday, so you know how this story ends.
Brian in the back, I know you love these immediate postgame sessions, but what are you seeing with your offense?
Stop. Really? Is that the first question? We won the game 20 to 10. Try another question. What do you want me to tell you? I just laid it out for you. We played the game to win the game. We played the game to win the game. All right. How about third down then? What is going on with third down? It's one game. Last game we were great on third down. You're micro, you're looking at this from the wrong perspective. LSU won the football game.
won the game.
I don't know what you want for me.
What do you want?
You want us to win 70 to nothing against Florida?
They ain't playing like this in South Bend, are they?
Somebody's just asking him questions after wins like this.
He's like, God, bless it, leave me alone.
We can run the ball.
Did you see the last play of the game?
That's all you need.
You just need one.
Didn't he just tell that guy to not micro-analyze and he wants to build one?
He's like, look, we got one play.
He was a 50-yard gain.
Our rushing yards are at.
This guy sucks.
He sucks.
He's just trying to do his job.
He sucks, but it's so entertaining to me because he's under so much stress and so much pressure,
and he's a very high strong.
He probably has heart problems, and he's like, just leave me alone.
There's some ridiculous questions, and I'm getting tired of it.
That football team just worked their tail off to get an SEC win.
That's a great question.
Okay, here we go.
So now he's wrapping this one off.
Reporters, that kind of question is so out of line.
All right.
Next. Coach Sean Spears, two interceptions tonight. It seems like he's worked into a role on an important role.
That's a great question. Thank you.
It seems like he's working to a role on third.
If we look at anything positive out of the game is a great question.
You're my favorite reporter now.
Thank you.
Next question. Who's got it?
Another great question. An incredible question.
Ty Singleton. How many snaps
has he had? Those are Brad Sham. Hey, your backup
linebacker had to come in. He's had three snaps
all year.
And the kid came in their
game and plan.
Anyways, you get what's happening here. I love it.
He spent five minutes doing that. Okay.
Well,
and Monday came and the
ADs clearly got to him. It was like,
dude, what are you doing?
Why do we have to make the city harder? You know
we're not that good, right?
He made him apologize?
Well, do we got a bingo?
He didn't make him reportedly, but I feel like he made him.
The AD just sits he down and he's like, look, bud, we're paying you a lot of money.
Yeah.
It's all good.
Just please don't do this.
You're going to go viral.
Yeah, please stop.
Being an a hole.
And I love this because...
Just put on the accent or something.
You see, Brian, you see coaches do this a lot, especially when they're in a tense moment.
Think of, like, Nico and Cleveland.
We're going to try for a little comedy.
Maybe comedy about where the mic is or, hey, it's early.
but we're going to try something way over here is this our new technical advisor you came out of retirement for this
you're crazy oh man we're having fun you're nuts oh but uh all right um before i get to um the game in southeast louisanne
i want to go back to the press conference after the game um i've texted with mike and and offered my
apology to him for the way I handled the questioning. I think it's important to understand
that, you know, my standards relative to how we work with the media on a day-to-day basis
need to be higher, and I take responsibility for that, and I'll be better in the future.
And understanding also the way I'm thinking after a game, and we've mentioned this a couple
of times in here the emotions of the game right after it i haven't watched any film a little bit
of uh but you know what do you want me to do um but i don't actually i don't hate this uh i think
he's an asshole um but i think all college coaches are it's funny if you ever talk to a guy
who played college football who's like you know your actual buddy and they're like it's
hilarious to watch any of these guys like go out with their wife and you know supporting these
children and all these like dude all these guys are slimy dirty used car salesman assholes that's
how this job works and you know it going in um and like you think about like last year maybe
it was a year before lincoln riley like really was taking heat locally and he did not handle it
well and basically said i'm not doing this anymore
I don't have to do this.
He stopped doing press conferences?
At some point, he's like, we're not doing this.
And they started yanking credentials of like, oh, we don't like that question from.
You could do that or you could do a somewhat fake, somewhat real apology and move on.
I feel like the media, though, is in these cases is taking their cues from coaches.
After even wins, they're like, well, this is a little concern.
This is a concern.
Well, let's talk about that.
Like, they don't want to pump up their players too much, almost.
You got to strike the right chord, I guess, right?
Yeah.
But that's funny stuff.
They were not good in the game.
So, I don't know, it was gross.
But that's all you have to say.
But to exercise your power over a journalist trying to get a quote from you, that's bad.
There's a way to do it.
Hey, look, we got to get better.
But it's just like the Cowboys the other day.
We got to get better.
But there was a resiliency here.
It was a big game, night game.
So he gave at least his version.
of an apology. Now we had another guy
apologized yesterday for
a video that went viral over the weekend.
This is
noted bow tie wear
an MLB insider Ken
Rosenthal. Oh, nice.
So here's the video
that went viral of him. We can narrate
you through it, but it's the Brewers, right?
He's going out there
I think he's with Pat Murphy,
but I may be wrong, but somebody's clenching
and he's out there on the field
doing interviews and he knocks over a camera
man, let's take a look at that here.
Yeah, it's Brewers.
Here comes a Gatorade.
Hey, and now it's a stare-down.
Ken Rosenthal gives this guy a cameraman.
What do you want me to do?
The palm up, like, what are you doing there?
Yeah.
I'm a cameraman who's here to get the shot.
Yeah, he's trying to avoid the Gatorade bath.
He's definitely victim-blaming.
Yeah, if there's anyone to blame, it's Ken Rosenthal
for not wanting to get a bow-tie wet.
Not want to get his bow-tie wet and a lack of spatial awareness.
If you back up into someone, it is your fault.
And then it's like, hey, I'm sorry.
Right.
Can I help you up?
Although there's no way he could help him up.
Ken Rosenthal appears to be about three foot eight.
Yes.
I don't know if this is a Jimmy Carter.
It's not.
He's a very small man.
Biden's photo trick here, but he looks very small.
He does.
He's 5'5, but he does look smaller there.
And then the stare down that he gives at that height.
You tower over him.
Oh, don't disrespect.
Blake like that. What are you, 510?
Looks like 5-8-5-9.
Isn't like 5-8 average?
Yeah, 5-8 average? Yeah, 5-8? Yeah, no, I'm saying this is a little guy.
Yeah.
He's a little fella. He's a little fella who had to apologize.
I want to talk about what happened Saturday night when I accidentally bowled over Scott
Paulus, Paulus, the Brewers' team photographer while I was getting out of the way of
the Brewers dumping water on Andrew Monasterio.
Now, the ever-observant, A.J. Prisinski, I already want to vomit, that I looked like
Muhammad Ali standing over sunny listed. Now, AJ, of course, is more experienced in these kinds of
interactions than I am. And I must admit, though, when I looked at the video, when I saw this,
I was surprised at how upset I appeared. I was more confused than anything. Now, I had to
continue the interview. We were live, folks, on national television. We couldn't stop.
Listen, dude.
Wait, this wasn't just live on local TV.
The invasion of Iraq and 90, these are the big moments in TV history.
National.
They just clinched a division.
But we're on national television.
National TV, what are you out here on?
You think we're on Milwaukee TV?
Get that shit out of here.
This is national TV.
This is a big moment in journalism.
Now, I had to continue the interview.
You had to.
We were live, folks, on national television.
Couldn't stop.
And that said, I felt awful about what happened.
And afterward, I went up to Scott, who I've worked with in Pitts before over the years,
and I apologized. And I apologized profusely because, let's face it,
I don't think that you ever expect knocking someone down is going to happen in any particular
situation. So yeah, sure, I apologized. And Fox is doing the American League playoffs this year.
So I won't see the Brewers again unless it's the World Series.
but if i do see the brewers in the world series i look forward to working with scott again in the
photo pit and i also look forward to sharing a good laugh with him over this okay so i can't stand
ken rosenthal i've never liked him um it was a tough draw for me many years ago we would
interview him on the shake joint a lot john was a big fan i think he obviously scans as a guy who
treats waiters poorly and that's like line one right
However, I do think that if you had a camera on you all the time,
it really just in any moment,
there's going to be frames where something happens
where you're going to be surprised how angry your face looks.
I just feel like if somebody was watching me...
Like if we had a video on Blake as these ladies didn't say thank you when he held the door?
Yeah, but he's admitting to being mad about that.
So that doesn't even count.
For me, example, like I love my kids.
and I don't I'm not a physical discipline
I don't yell I let them tell me I hate you
our house sucks I hate I whatever
but there's probably moments where
if someone was filming there's at least one look
where they're like boy he looks
he looks really upset there
yeah and I don't know
I'm trying to square the two things
I don't like the guy I think he's a bad guy
not bad guy I just think he's a he's probably mean to people he seems
even after the look actually from people
he continues looking and he gives a little stroke like
that's the
What's the thing. Past the look. He doesn't rectify it with anything other than your problem. It didn't look like an, oh, I'm sorry. No. It was a palm up. Like, what were you doing?
Yeah. Why are you in my in my way there when I was prancing, as if a damsel in distress, a 50s housewife saw a spider and she's standing on the table and saying eke. That's the way he looked when that water pumps his own gas.
No.
No chance, right?
If he even drives it all.
Ooh.
You think Fox gives him a driver?
I don't know if Fox does, but he may pay for it.
I mean, Oberman having a driver really blew my mind.
Do you think that is a clip-on or a self-like you actually self-tie?
Because that seems pretty hoity to self-tie bow tie.
Yeah, but what if I make it about kids being sick?
Now I'm not a jerk anymore.
That's the Forse Field?
I guess.
What is it, like different tie?
auctions it or something? I think so.
Yeah. You should buy one of those.
Buy one of Craig Sager's suits.
A little bit of self-worth there.
Like, yeah, this is worthy of selling.
Something I wore.
Yeah.
Only these kids with leukemia can only be saved by my dapper.
Someone will want this. I wore it.
So let's stick with the brewers.
I don't know if you guys saw this, but now that the Rangers are done, we're back in
brew crew mode.
Not done.
How many games out?
Four?
They're four of Seattle, three of Houston. Seattle's won like 11 of 12. They don't have a tiebreaker over them. It was going to require them to jump the Astros in Seattle to fall back a little bit. Neither of those things are happening.
They win two in a row. Dude, last night was, they had a shot last night, man.
Anyways, Pat Murphy. Pancake lover. Pocket lover, pocket pancake lover, the manager of our brew crew. After they clenched, there was a video that was posted to social media.
media from their locker room where he so here's how this unfolded in my life i saw that this
video existed i was like oh that looks cool he's reading a letter that bob yuker wrote before he died
i didn't watch it though i was like i'll save this for tuesday before tuesday comes there's another
article out um so let's play the video and you tell me what you think of it as you listen to it
i got a letter today from yuk now bob yuker died in december before we told us
I want to read it.
And he got the letter today.
I thought it was fitting the last time that we celebrated.
Duke was with us.
Howdy, boys.
Never a doubt you would get this invitation.
You did it by believing.
Really miss you guys, and I wish I was there.
Things are good, the God Almighty pick me to be on his team up here.
I'll beat it on the third catcher.
It's a greatly, no day games after night games, no shadows,
but you've got all a sticky you need to have up here.
Told the big guy about you guys.
You play hard every night.
You're not afraid to play for each other.
He's obviously very interested in the group with this
uncommon goodness
the fact that you have the best record in baseball
the best road record in baseball
is caught his attention
okay you want to pause it there
are we to assume that
somehow he wrote this in December
in the event they win the pennant
and he knew that the road would really be where they paved
the way this season
so this is a
letter that Pat Murphy wrote in the voice of Bob Euker and read it to the team.
Now, it's pretty clear if you watch it when he says your road record that if you let it
keep playing, they don't really ever like clarify this. Let it keep playing.
The fact that you have the best record in baseball, the best road record in baseball is caught
his attention.
It's caught his attention.
You don't really need me. I know you guys really don't need me, but I've got to tell you, I'll be
on the headset every night watching, and don't forget to take it all in, enjoy it, keep it
light, and believe in each other.
Bob Euker, so let's toast to him and to our team what we've achieved so far.
So he's never really, you're saying he wrote this, but there's no indication of that.
I think if I'm a player, I'm thinking he really wrote it.
Well, this video was out there, and it was.
It was so confusing to MLB fans everywhere that the Brewers had to put out a statement
to clarify like, hey, Murph wrote this.
It's like to honor Bob Euker, but it was executed.
And I'm not taking a shot at our buddy with the Brewers here.
But I guess people who didn't watch it, it's still a little confusing if you do watch it.
The players, as they think it's usually worded in on, do seem a little confused.
Well, no, it seems cool.
I thought until he said that phrase, like, wow, did Bob Euker write this letter in case we win?
It's not crazy that Yuc would have done that.
Yeah.
And said, you know, it just gives it to Pat Murphy.
And he's like, hey, read it.
But once he gets into, he was really impressed with the way that you guys were able on the third time through the order to generate more offense than anyone in the division.
And the fact that you outstripped your babib luck in August, this comes to us from Yuc.
boys. He really loved how Pat Murphy was able to manage the bullpen arms.
He was saying that Pat Murphy, clearly the runaway for NL manager.
So this is like I had a neighbor that would send a Christmas letter every year.
Don't say it. It was written in the voice of their dog.
That guy should have been kicked out of your neighborhood.
What's that? It was a lady. It doesn't matter. I had a family who did it too.
And we would make fun of my aunt did it. But the funny thing was,
like let's say her name is
whatever
Michelle the lady
and then she had a daughter
and a husband
and you know
oh you know
whatever little Jennifer
was I should say Ava
everybody's named Ava now right
and tap dance this year
is yeah did this
and graduated and lost her
second tooth and did this
and all that and
Steve was
promoted
and blah blah blah blah
a tough year for mom as she really went through some blah, blah, blah,
but really pulled through and kept it all,
like it would really be glowing about her.
Like, whatever she went through.
That is incredible.
Like, I swear to God, I saved it somewhere.
But through the strength within her,
she was able to be a rock for her family,
the foundation that they all needed.
It was very much like it all revolved around her,
and then it was like signed little paw print.
And also, like, the thing that sucks about that is you know,
that lady's staying at home doesn't work
and that dog hates her.
Yeah.
She's the least favorite member of the family.
But now the dog
has to get a suit anonymously
supporting her struggle.
But yes,
they had to put out, or they put out a little
statement.
You know, he was dead, so he couldn't have.
And sorry, yeah.
He couldn't have written this.
So there's our
clarifications and apologies for today.
we got one thing from our broadcast
Ted worked in an Easter egg
which I thought was apt to play
today
how can you go otherwise
Brandon Aubrey four field goals today
including the 64 yard field goal
that sent the game to overtime
and then the 46-yarder
to seal the game for the Cowboys
in a game where we saw
pretty much everything you could ever want to see
in a football game
the kicker comes out as the player
of the game
it truly was the Brandon Aubrey show today
the all-pro kicker delivering for Dallas
I love it
get leg day every day in there
that's a good one
leg day every day
do you guys want me to just read all these PFF stats for you
if you want to talk deck
what do you got
I mean he's at the top of the leaderboard
in like every single category they grade and by Tuesday
I think their grades are right, especially on
quarterbacks. I don't think they screw this up much
anymore. Boy, and against the juggernaut
defense, like the... Now, there is this.
Unlike EPA,
these are not weighted for competition.
So, EPA
is a stat we use to say, like, hey,
if you, on third and three, complete a
four-yard pass, it's worth more than third and
12. It's opponent adjusted.
It's field. It's all of that.
This is not.
This is just how coach is great tape.
But, that being
said like they chart like big time throws which are tight windows over a certain distance
um and it's you would say like oh that's very subjective and it is but he's got more than
anyone else right now and i would say he's good half of them have been completed because the
other half of them were on his receiver or tight ends numbers or face mask and the number of
penalties like dude his stats right now are depressed because of the opi to pickens and the
drops and the Ferguson drops, but he's bawling.
He is bawling.
So forget about DAC versus Baker.
You've already failed that test.
What sort of bet can we put on it?
How can we, because like just stats don't work.
I would agree Baker's a player who's better than his stats are.
That's why QBR loves Baker.
Baker is running like at an insane rate this year.
But if there's a way we can agree, because the guy who bet me on the Texans,
he's already in the shitter.
what was the Texans bet
it was a donation to Jared's charity
it was a guy who was a sit-in
who just straight up bet me
Cowboys or Texans win totals
oh
and I think maybe there was a one game difference
what about don't we have a bet with a guy
we've got to do remote at his house
if they win
six games
no if they win seven plus
I think seven gets us in right
but what whatever
seven or down
yeah we're not going to really
So if they win eight, we have to go to his house?
No.
If they win...
They have to win nine for us to go to his house.
Okay, no, okay, whatever.
We have another bet.
Yeah.
And there's no way to figure out what it is.
I can't believe the Cowboys are dogs on Sunday.
The Bears just got beat by 31 points.
By the way, there's something going on there.
Cowboys should have lost the Giants.
Based on what?
they gave up how many plays of over 25 yards
probably more than anyone in the weekend
I would imagine their defense is very bad
without an all-world kicker
I mean they were losing with 20 seconds left
they made Russell Wilson look awesome
right no but my point is the bears got beat by 31
by a team that lost the week before
now granted to the Super Bowl favorites
but that's a pretty wide margin there
However, it's starting to look like
I'm not going to try to get into the head of Dan Campbell
I don't think he's got to hate somebody to want to run it up on him
I think he enjoyed his time in Dallas
and still wanted to beat Dallas's ass
but that handshake with him and Ben Johnson
at halftime does not look like
or excuse me at midfield doesn't look like they ended on good terms
at all
at all. I did not see that.
And Harbaugh Pete Carroll as it gets
with one little comment in the year
and they scored 52 points.
You can't tell me that Dan Campbell's not trying to do this to anybody that he has some level of...
I saw them asking, what's his name?
Golf, maybe?
No, the Bears coach about did they run it up on you?
And to his credit, he's like, football team, you're a football team out there.
You can't run it up on people.
Now, he might be thinking, well, I can't wait until I do this to him.
You know, very Jimmy Johnson.
Was it Buddy Ryan?
Wasn't there a feud there?
Buddy Ryan and Jimmy Johnson back in the 90s?
Oh, yeah.
They were running up on each other at different times.
I think it's fascinating.
I do think that no matter what anybody says,
and if anybody ignores the noise,
I bet Dan Campbell is one of them.
But he did hear the noise of, and golf too.
You know, what's golf's record without Sean McVeigh or Ben Johnson calling plays for him?
Like 2 and whatever, yeah.
That's crazy.
And Dan Campbell certainly knew that everyone in the NFL intelligentsia and just world thought he would fail.
Yeah, he's just a guy walking around.
He got lucky that he hired good coordinators.
Right.
And I do not believe that.
I think Dan Campbell's great.
Yeah, he doesn't believe it either.
He just doesn't need to tell you that.
Yeah, I think they wanted to show that, though.
I think they took that first week as a, you know, they stepped up huge.
Obviously, golf had five touchdown passes.
So it kind of almost had to be done that way, too, through the air.
Yeah.
The bears are bad, so I would be very disappointed if Dallas can't.
So the Cowboys right now are, it's bears by one and a half?
It was last night when I looked.
I mean, the bears are, they're just not good on either side of the ball right.
now. So I would, the Giants, I don't know. I mean, they do have a pretty nasty front. They've
got Malik neighbors and Russ was good for most of the game. So maybe we look up and the Giants aren't as
bad as we think at the end of the year. I don't know. They were bad in week one. We'll see.
It's how the NFL works, but I don't feel bad about them right now. Your thoughts on Jadavian
Clownie. You know. Why was he not on any other roster this year? You never know, right? Like,
is there, and it's usually a mix of both things. It's the market is pretty limited. And once that
market becomes limited, the player becomes very picky and says like, hey, all right, well, there's
only four or five teams interested in me. Three of those sound awful. But it's not like 30 or 25 teams
are interested where six of them sound attractive. So I think it's kind of both. And whether this is
real or not. I mean, him coming out
and saying, hey, they play a lot of prime
time games. I'm trying to get on
national TV and show that I still have
something.
This is no better place than for me to
audition for the rest of the world than for the Dallas
Cowboys.
I don't know. I mean, he's had a disappointing career.
For the last five years,
he played in Tennessee, Cleveland,
Cleveland, Cleveland, Carolina.
So as far as
wanting to be on national TV, I guess.
Sure. He doesn't want to play at noon anymore.
No, I think he's had a good career, but I mean, you remember when he was coming out.
He's like the number one overall pick, wouldn't he?
And not just that.
It was like you were being told they don't make, and you watch them in college,
you're like, I've never seen a pass rusher like this.
This must be what's next.
And to an extent it kind of was, like you don't get to Micah without getting it to JVie and Clowney,
but he just hasn't had a good career relative to expectation.
Relative, but otherwise, you kind of look at his career.
It looks solid.
It's solid.
As far as sacks every year and all that.
I wonder if he ever made, like, even a second team all pro.
I bet not.
He did make one second team all pro in year three.
Okay.
You got the...
I'm looking at his pro football reference page.
Three pro bowls.
We're not that impressed by pro bowls, but, you know.
Listen, he can't hurt.
He had nine sacks four years of his 11-year career, including two years ago.
Yeah, that one surprised me.
With Baltimore.
That one, but that's also possibly a Baltimore, you know,
that's why if you add a Jadavi and Clowny to Micah,
just like they've done this for a bunch of guys over the last handful of years,
I'd be like, damn, this guy might be about to get six sacks in 13 games
and go get himself $8 million next year.
Just adding him to Sam Williams and Ezeraku and whatnot, I don't, you know.
It does.
There's not a multiplier effect like there is with Micah.
He's got a cool name because you remember.
remember his name, but as far as impact.
Yeah, and I'm just saying those Ravens' defenses,
the Ravens defense he was on was good.
Was stacked.
And so I don't know what this looks like.
Yeah, it just, it does kind of smack of a little bit of desperation.
Like they really know they're in a tough spot.
It is interesting.
Did they sign him before the game or was it during the game?
Was it like at halftime?
Like, oh my gosh.
It's probably Jerry decided, hey, let's sign him.
And then they worked on it during the game.
Yeah, but it's funny to imagine
that the pen is just doing one letter at a time
with every Russ escapes the pocket
There's the now I'll add the next letter
Yeah
Let's start at 5 million they watch
Russ touchdown 6
Who do they cut?
The thing is
You never really hear about that guy
God damn
You know it's always like a great
Training Camp story that you even made the team
Yeah
And then
Here's Perry on Winfrey
Although he's already hurt right
So that's our feel-good story.
Yeah, I was wanting that to be a...
I didn't want him to get hurt.
I wanted him to get cut.
That would have been the funny part.
Joe Burrow was out for three months.
Did you just see that?
Yeah.
I came down today.
Yeah.
Did you...
I mean, I didn't even see the injury,
but I did see them...
The really ridiculous thing they did in the tunnel
where they put out like a 40-foot black screen
like they unfolds so that nobody could see.
see Joe Burrow walking.
Oh, really? Hey, dude, these are not nuclear
codes. We're all
going to find out tomorrow the guy can't
walk.
But yeah, that's absolutely brutal.
But I don't care
because I've had to deal with my team's
quarterback that we pay a lot of money to missing
half the season a couple times now.
So get fucked.
Don't care.
Yeah.
Well, they're probably done,
right?
they've been a weird operation did okay there's a time where i would have told you jake browning
was going to the hall of fame probably like his second year at college at washington i was
like dude this guy is oh yeah i'm blitzed it's two a m watching football i'm like this guy can't miss
he's not panned out to be much more than a capable backup and their season's probably over
i saw rumors of uh james's trade that would be electric
Got to do it.
To Cincinnati?
Yeah.
Got to do it.
Is it time me over?
Got to do it.
Get him in there with...
I would have loved him to be Dax backup.
Why not?
Let's eat some Ws on the sideline.
He would love Shottie.
Oh, Johnny would love that.
Can you imagine the meal they'd have together?
They would, yeah.
James might have a Faith Family football tattoo.
I seriously think he might.
And they would get along great, but you know what it is around here.
You just want not making any noise for a backup.
Yeah, it's a bad bit.
It's going to be a bad bit when that gets hurt.
Maybe they haven't replaced Milton because they don't think they're any good.
Who?
The Cowboys.
Oh, the Cowboys don't think they're any good?
I don't know.
They don't like to give resources to the backup QB.
Like if they got to 3 and 1 and beat Green Bay, not going to happen.
But I feel like at that point they should say we are better than we thought.
But let's get a capable backup quarterback in case Dak has to miss two games, three games, because you're going to lose every game with Milton.
Let's guess that line right now, the Green Bay game.
Well, obviously, it will change quite a bit after Dallas.
I'm calling, let's say, 3114 this weekend.
So I don't know who Green Bay has.
But right now, it's probably nine points.
Nine, it's here.
Oh, my bad.
I didn't know that.
I was going to think Packer's six and a half.
That's fine.
I'll go soon.
Yeah, I was going to say under a touchdown, more than a field goal.
Story out of, did you see the story out of Cleveland?
Where the Ravens, because the Browns played the Ravens this weekend, the story came out that the Ravens were going to draft Shador.
Did you see it?
Love it.
In the fifth round.
But that they kind of contacted.
their people type thing
and
that he said, their people
said they don't want him to go to
the Ravens because he
didn't want to be on a roster
with Lamar Jackson where he'd be a backup for
sure. I feel
like he needs to shoot that down
quickly.
Well, I haven't heard any, I've read
this this weekend. And he probably won't. Yeah, I saw it too.
It's basically confirmed.
Oh, yeah? Yeah.
I mean, there's
enough people talking about.
about it and reporting if adam shepter reports it someone inside told him that for sure like the
the i guess in the postgame press conference reporters were asking stefansky about chador
sanders and like whoever asks about like the third string quarterback is he third or second
let's see what our last he's got to be third but he's injured right because i don't
i thought i saw him on the injury report he uh third string he's listed as
third string right now.
Okay, yeah.
So, I don't know.
Here's one,
another weird NFL story.
Seems like the Chiefs
provide us with a lot of those.
By the way, if you ever get around,
if you just get time,
you want some sports stuff,
the Kingdom is good.
The Chief's documentary.
It's way better
than the Commonwealth's documentary.
Apple?
Where is it?
I've seen it lately,
but I can't remember where.
ESPN.
It's an ESPN documentary.
Yeah.
The Chiefs, so they have had the same public address announcer Dale Carter for 16 years,
and he does a famous, it's third down, call it Arrowhead.
So he posted on Facebook Friday and said that last year, the Chiefs asked him to change up the third down call in the playoffs.
And this year, the chiefs informed him that fellow stadium PA announcer Nate Heron would be taking over his third down call on game days, which Dale said crossed his, quote, red line leading to his resignation.
So they just hated it?
Somebody hated it?
Yeah.
Huh.
He also works at the local country radio station.
and he's known for this elongated call
but they said look
we want less of the third down call
and he's like it's my whole thing
oh wonder why
and they
I mean I wonder why they did that
to the next year said yeah Nate's going to do
the third down you can still do some
the other stuff like kind of
that'd be yeah you're getting tough right there
let us know whenever like there's a military hero
or you know
but when it comes to its third down
that's Nate now
and this guy just went to Facebook and said
not over my dead body
I'm either doing the third
down call or I'm dead
probably didn't get paid a lot to do that I'll choose death
right no a couple hundred bucks a game
yeah it can't be much
are you worried about the chiefs
I mean sure it's all
all things come to an end
I think
right now you'd probably still take the chalk
of they figure it out enough to where
they're in the playoffs and once they get into the playoffs who knows but you're playing on the road
for the first time in the mahomes era at least for sure i don't know it doesn't look good
they've had some roster misses for sure and i mean they're without rishi right now right so
i mean everybody talks about like oh they have no receivers they haven't replaced tyriek ill
since whenever i mean they've won a super bowl since then no worthy
Yeah, they've got problems
I am enjoying the Kelsey downfall
Why I don't know
Just along with the Taylor
Yeah
Listen I even admitted
I can't stand Taylor Swift
Haven't been training hard
He did say that
Engagement like he admitted he's been busy
That's tough
And to see him drop a ball on the goal line
I love it plus he's all
He's kind of really look at me these days
For sure
You see him walking into the stadium
With his little short suit
Has he?
but it's gotten worse
He's been wearing that for years
Stuff like that
He hosted S&L before he started dating her
Right
So he was already
Doing that sort of thing
Like look at me guy
I mean
He's definitely turned into more of a pretty boy now
Now he's with Taylor
And then just blowing up on the sidelines
Like no I'm still hard
But if you're not kicking ass
He's Travis Kelsey
Why are we trying to act like this dude's David Lefleur
Because he still had a couple
Big plays the other day
I don't know. This is crazy. Yes, I'm now
I'm back on my cheats thing.
All right, so we have lots of sports today
because we got some big interviews coming up.
Brandon Aubrey, we'll kind of end the show. Want to do news right now?
We could either do news right now, break, whatever you want to do.
Well, then I want to do news.
Okay. Passive aggressive guy trying to lead me to break.
I just thought maybe. I'm hungry.
And it is National Guacamole Day.
That's right.
Which you will hear more about later.
So the top news story are pretty close to it.
Oh, is that why you wanted to break?
Yeah.
Because we might have guacamole person in it.
Yeah, I think she's probably, like, waiting.
But who knows?
Oh, okay.
Let's take a break.
Shut up.
I am.
Let's take a break.
Seriously?
Want to?
No, I don't.
She's not here?
I don't know.
Oh, okay.
She's going to text me when she's here.
All right, no break.
Here we go.
Oh, she's here.
Smith, Smith.
Bring her in.
Just have her walk in the middle of the middle of the.
news.
All right.
So one of the top stories in the local news last night was a story out of godly.
Pirates?
Question mark you had at the end of there.
Let's see.
I think he's right.
I think I've seen the water tower.
Talking about an hour, hour and a half, maybe an hour southwest of Fort Worth.
And the story is they got a dog problem.
I put a couple images from a wild dog.
Yeah, I put a couple images from Fox 4's story on this.
uh in the drive i think maybe i didn't but wildcats damn it um they maybe they have more
than one high school they don't but uh they've they've grown to like 30 or 40 dogs
and these are stray dogs that are primarily living in a like a field where there's a bunch
of new construction being done and these people are like freaking out dude there's 40 dogs they
They don't have animal control and godly.
Now there's a guy walking in with food.
Yes, I don't know what to tell him.
He's staring at me.
Yeah, come on in.
Come on in.
Go ahead.
Continue your little story.
Just kidding.
Come on. Dogs, dogs and godly.
Let's go.
So the problem is they don't have animal control.
And so they're writing to the sheriff
and they're riding to the local police department
and they're like, what do you want us to do?
There's 40 wild dogs out here
and people are sending in, you know,
like they're at restaurants overnight,
like in the surveillance cameras.
They're in neighborhoods.
It's like a nice neighborhood.
And they had both Fox and WFA had people on.
They're like, we can't go outside.
They're growing and they move in packs.
So if it was the hog problem,
you just kind of get a helicopter and you shoot them.
Right.
But unfortunately, the dog has this force field over it.
But does the stray dog?
Does the wild dog?
Does the murder dog?
Still remember it's called a dog.
Yeah, I think so.
You need to call it something different.
And that's the problem is these dogs definitely, you know, they're stray dogs, right?
These are not somebody's family dogs.
Is there a dog catcher with the big net and the white van?
I don't know.
Joining us for the news is Tara from Yo Kiro.
Hi, Tara.
Hi, guys.
How's it going?
Well, how are you?
It's National Guacamole Day.
It's National Guacamole Day.
Who the hell knew that was a holiday?
How about...
Well, she doesn't have her headphones on.
Oh, no.
Hold on.
Wait until she throws her headphones on.
Finish the dog story.
Okay.
Would you shoot...
Stop yelling him.
A stray dog?
Please.
It depends on what it was doing.
Attacking your baby.
hell yeah well i'm a real shitty shot so i would hope to get close but yes and that's what they're
interviewing parents they're like uh just last week we were out front we saw him approaching we had to
run in the house and then one guy was like my son got in the car and locked the door which i found a
very unnecessary well it's a pack of dogs though what's it going to do break into the car once
the door shut wait have you seen kujo that's what i'm saying the guy was acting like yeah i guess
the door lock is the weird thing they had to lock the door lock the door you had to lock the
doors. I'm like, oh, what are they?
Yeah, they don't have thumbs. They don't have thumbs.
It's got like a little jack.
Trying to get it open.
But, yeah, my bad, Clayton, I put those pictures in there late.
But they're, they're mangy, they're everywhere.
And they get the dad on there. That's like, I'm helpless as a father in this situation.
And the news left it with, we don't know.
The police said we have limited resources and cannot solve these issues.
figure it out call someone else shrug emoji
now he did say that they are currently discussing
creative options
to address this
so maybe that's more of your
they're just walking through this restaurant with the patio
yeah that's at night but yeah I mean
they're everywhere
that's a lot of them
then there's not even there's other pictures where
I mean there's 30 to 40 dogs
like if there were 30 to 40 hogs
and then just traveling in a pack
They move like that
That's crazy
What about like the little bear trap
That clamps onto their leg
Would that be humane?
Feels like definitely no
Feels like definitely no
Yeah you just shoot them
I don't think this is a problem
We have to like wokeify
These dogs are a problem
Would there be yeah complaints if
Of course there would
Can we put them on a bus and send them to D.C.
There now we're talking about
go yeah sanctuary city yeah dog sanctuary city yeah because one of them one of them one of them one of
them actually took my computer programming job it's national guacamole day isn't it
guacamole originated with the aztec civilization over 500 years ago in mesoamerica where they
mashed avocados with chilies and other native ingredients to create a wakamole
or avocado sauce.
After the Spanish arrived in the 16th century, the dish evolved as they added their own
ingredients like cilantro, onion, and lime juice, eventually leading to the modern word guacamole.
That's good information.
Is it not?
Hey, that's my ringtone.
Who knew?
Next story.
We'll move on from the dogs.
The TEA is investigating teachers over their post.
about Charlie Kirk's assassination.
So teachers got opinions,
and they've got opinions on social media.
And not to delve into the politics of this at all,
but they also have opinions on, like, guns and gun control,
maybe more than the average person does.
Oh, yeah, I guess.
Kind of a kid's a little close to home at times.
Yeah.
That might have changed over the years.
over 180 complaints about social media comments made by teachers
and Greg Abbott of course had to hop out there and be like they're done
we're taking their license they can't work in the state anymore
which is a problem because of that last part I said where they are working for the state
you can't fire somebody I mean you can but you're going to go to court you and me and
whatever we can be fired it's a private company not now but back then
but you're going to have a hard time.
If you can't get fired for posts?
There's a First Amendment lawyer that was interviewed for a bunch of these stories who's like,
if you're a teacher, it's different.
You're a state employee.
But a lot of people are probably going to lose their jobs, a whole lot.
Why does everybody got to post everything?
Can you not just think something?
What's your post game like, Tara?
Get some politics out there.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
I like to keep a lot of my thoughts to myself
because I don't think a lot of them will be good
if I put them out there.
Yeah, I kind of, I have the same thing
and then just go right through it.
Can you get, so you can get fired if you want
stronger gun control?
It probably depends on how you say it.
Because I don't really know anything about Charlie Kirk.
I just know things that I've kind of heard, you know?
And people are like, yeah,
the guy with the family.
Yeah, I don't want, I don't want, I want,
I want gun control no matter who gets killed, really.
so yeah
I'm pro not killing
you'll go there
I will but I think
a lot like I'm that way for the death penalty or whatever
too so I'm probably
just too soft
for this conversation
speaking of too soft this is a story I'm too soft
for a 14 year old
this is not a local story but
a 14 year old in Missouri
Missouri
spent more than three days trapped in a ravine
this summer this is back in
July
Like trapped like I can't move at all
Or I'm just in this ravine
And I can kind of walk around
So he crashed his skateboard near his home
You guys think a ravine is?
I was hoping literally nobody asked
Because I'm thinking
What's a ravine?
Define?
Like a...
It would be like a ditch.
A big one though.
Just a little ditch.
Big I feel like.
I was thinking like Grand Canyon-y side
Or yeah
That's a canyon, not a ravine.
Well, no, a smaller...
You don't call it the Grand Ravine.
Like a more of a mini canyon, not a grand one.
I think we're on to something there.
Kind of a ravine.
I fell 240 feet into a forested ravine.
And lived.
Lived.
See, that's where you want to fall into a tree,
and then it kind of breaks your fall right there,
and then down to the next little branch and branch.
Before long, you're just living amongst the apes.
What city?
Not where there'd be apes, but we can play that game.
I don't care.
Missouri.
I saw this movie.
There's apes kind of took over the San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge.
And they lived in the woods outside there.
So this summer, this boy got to meet a dog named Daryl.
And he met this dog because when he went missing, they gave Daryl a pair of this kid's shoes and he found him.
All right.
Yeah.
It's insane.
A three-day track.
Is it a bloodhound?
You know
Have a little thing of rum around its neck
What's that? Is that cartoons?
Yeah.
What's that? Looney tunes?
Yeah.
What's the purpose?
I think if it finds somebody in the snow or something,
it can give them that rum to...
Oh, that's going to wrap them up.
Yeah.
And a celebratory drink after.
Okay.
It wasn't a bloodhound, though.
You see...
Not a bloodhound?
St. Bernard.
Yeah.
Okay.
You know, it's National Guacamole Day.
Mm-hmm.
The avocado's journey to becoming a global staple was a slow one.
But thanks to the lifting of avocado import bans in the late 20th century and the rise of Mexican cuisine,
guacamole is now a widely popular dish worldwide.
It has also been shown in studies to increase libido or sex drive.
Thus, guacamole's increasing popularity.
Really?
I didn't know that.
You guys put that on the packages?
Okay.
For sure.
That's why I brought you guys out.
extra. I'm teaming up with Game Day men's health.
We seem low libido.
Yeah, you go to Game Day men's health and get a little injection of Glock.
Exactly.
Oh, my God. Do we seem low, low libido-y?
Like the, just collectively.
Like, this isn't like the most manly room you've ever been in, is it?
Do I give low libido?
Do we give beta?
Boy, I'm no comment.
Waymo.
Man, that's a yes.
Put on a demonstration yesterday.
Waymo.
ahead of their 2026 Dallas launch.
You know what Waymo is?
I do now.
I remember.
What?
That scared me to death.
It's those driverless cars.
Yeah.
We've been in one.
It's great.
Not me, by the way.
I've never been in one and never will.
I have, but there's been somebody that's actually driving the vehicle.
But you can do self-drive too or whatever, automatic driving.
I think I screamed at them and said, please don't do that.
I'm chicken.
It scares the hell.
to me so i remember when i first interviewed you in 1930 and you're like i will not get on that flying
machine yep i will not get on that ever yes that's that's what you're going to sound like in
50 years or whatever they're going to look back at this conversation i'm going to split the difference
here like silly tara and tell you that this logically makes no no sense it's not consistent but
from my life ludite i'm never getting in one of those ever
I'm hoping, though, that by 10, 12 years from now, they've come long enough, far enough, my daughter never drives a car.
I'll never do it because I'm from the old way.
And, like, I think when you're used to controlling your car, there's a barrier.
Not me.
And I've always wanted a driver.
I know.
And you've always thought of yourself as like, I'm a guy who should have a driver.
I should have a driver.
Don't you guys think that I, if anyone should have a driver?
I do.
I do.
It makes perfect sense.
I'm not surprised by that, but if you've never driven a car...
If computer is the driver.
It's all computer.
Yeah.
If you've never driven a car, though, I feel as if maybe it's not a big deal for you.
Like, the kid will just be like, I get in the car.
I get in the Waymo.
I'm hoping.
Did you guys know it's National Guacamole Day?
No.
Nations have been conquered on the strength of warriors fueled by guacamole.
since the beginning of time.
There is an old Aztec saying,
do not fuck with me when I'm off the guac.
This is because the avocado is packed
with nutrient-dense ingredients
which are rich in healthy mono-unsaturated fats,
fiber, and vitamins.
A little history lesson.
A lot of information.
It's National Guacamole Day.
That is what I'm going to put on my package.
Don't fuck with me if I'm not on my guac.
That is our new tagline.
I'm just here to help
I took a marketing class once
I love that thank you so much
everybody's a marketer
I should probably stop there
honestly
so here's a deal
a guy got beheaded in Dallas last week
it was female
I think I thought it was female
because the person's name is Shandra
it's not
and in the video it's very tough to make out if it's a male
or female because one
it's grainy and two they're being beheaded
but
which head
you're the fucking worst dude
giving yourself
what I thought everybody was going to join in
wait shaking your head
on that well
unbelievable here's a thing
not on national guacamole day
they have a go fund me
and they have raised 350k
which is
a reatt
you son of a bee
let's get out of here all right
no more news but it is
still
like and subscribe
that was a good news
national guacamole day
feast on the only true spoil of victory
guacamole you've laid waste to
and vanquished your eternal enemies
you knew this day would come
the fire of seven hells cannot stop you
you're off the guac again lord knows
what's next. God, help me to stop at only pillaging their supplies of guacamole. Happy guacamole day,
happy guacamole day, everyone. Let's take a break. Get some guack.
The dump zone.
Just a reminder, while we're here in our Fox 4 Game Day Men's Health Studios, we do have DZTV on tonight.
Check that out tonight and every night at 9 o'clock on Channel 27 or the Fox Local app.
And we're on Sunday night, too, real late night after the Ducey Sports Sunday thingy on Fox 4.
I believe after us would be a mom game.
Is that right?
And look who's sitting in studio.
It is Julie Dobbs from the mom game, along with Tara from Yo Kiero.
It's Tara Kiyaro joining us.
Is there a website we need to promote, or will we do that at the end of the program?
It's really up to you.
Right now, during National Guacamole Day, we are offering a sweepstakes where someone can win one year of free guacamole.
So that website is yo-kierobrands.com, backslash, NGD for National Guacamole Day.
There you go.
Asked and answered.
There you go.
Joining us now as we move on, we will have Brandon Aubrey with us in about a half hour or so.
But before that, we would like to say hello to Gary Myers, New York Times, best-selling author.
possibly for this book that is being released today.
But that's getting ahead of ourselves.
Good afternoon, Gary.
How are you guys doing today?
Doing great.
Thanks for joining us.
How are you, man?
I'm doing good.
You're in Dallas, right?
We are in Dallas, your old.
I was going to say.
Stopping ground, I guess.
Yeah, I lived there for eight years in the 80s.
I love Dallas.
Yeah, well, we had Baldi.
on last week, right? And we were
talking to him about just the 80s Cowboys
and I guess I didn't realize
until we
decided that we were
going to talk to you or you decided you
would talk to us that, yeah, you were covering
those Brian Baldinger, Dallas
Cowboys. You were there for the
catch, all that kind of stuff, right?
Yeah, I mean, I covered Baldi as a rookie.
He was a free agent from Duke.
And it was pretty
evident right off the bat. He was a really smart
guy.
go to Duke, I guess you have to be pretty smart.
Yeah, the catch was about the fourth game I covered for the Dallas Morning News
when I got to Dallas.
They stuck me on the beat, right?
The first game after Thanksgiving, I was supposed to be the backup writer for the end of the 81 season.
And about two days before I was starting, they said, no, you're going to be the beat guy,
and you got to step right in and do it now, which wasn't easiest things to do.
but I loved my time in Dallas.
It was just tremendous.
The morning news was, at the time,
one of the, you know,
one or two best sports sections in the country.
Where were you coming from?
New York, which is where I'm now.
Okay.
I just got a great job offer from Dave Smith at the morning news.
You know, he was right at the beginning of the newspaper war
with the Dallas Times Herald.
And he had gotten there about three months earlier,
and he was completely redoing the staff
because they knew that the battleground
on the newspaper war
was going to be the sports section
and the Cowboys were the most important part
and they were the most important beat
on the entire paper.
So I was really honored
when he reached out to me
to ask me if I wanted to move to Dallas
to come cover the Cowboys
and as much as I, you know,
I'm a New Yorker,
that was an impossible job to turn down.
So, and I stuck around a little bit longer
than I thought because I really liked living there
And so I got there in November of 81, and I left in May of 89.
So there's obviously that we want to talk about the current book.
We could talk to you about any number of things.
But I will tell you, when I hear Gary Myers' name as a cowboy fan,
the first thing I go back to is one of the most, to me,
insane things that Jerry Jones has ever said in a long list of those things.
And it was Dax rookie year.
And correct me if I have this wrong.
but I believe he sat down with you
when you were with the Daily News
and talked about
wouldn't it be a great story
if Tony Romo came back
and finished this season with us
they were like 11 and 0 or 11 and 1
Dak was great
nobody was thinking about the Romo thing
and Jerry came out and said
maybe Romo can come back
what a story book and finish this thing
and I just thought
what an odd thing to say
when you have a fourth round rookie quarterback
doing what he was
doing, but that's when I knew, oh, Gary Myers is one of Jerry's guys that he just opens up to.
You know, it's interesting because I overlap with him by four months before I moved back
to New York. So I've known Jerry, let's put this way, there's nobody in the media business
who knows Jerry longer than me. There are a couple guys like Mickey Spagnola who works for the
team now. And I don't know anybody else that was really right in football back in 89 who's still
doing it just nobody comes to mind so i've i've known jerry since the day he walked in the door at valley
ranch for the saturday night massacre and um when he bought the team after flying back from austin
with tech shram after they told they pulled landry off the golf course and and told him he was
being fired and replaced by jimmy johnson but anyway so what year would that have been dach's
rookie year 16 um what happened was i think that cowboys were playing the giants that might
have been a Sunday night game. I think you're right. It was a December, it was a December Sunday night
game. Yes. And he spoke to you on that account. Right. And he was up for the Hall of Fame.
And it was 16 because I remember, I'm not sure it was his late as December because maybe it was
because we were talking about the election a little bit and whether he was voting for Hillary because
she was from Arkansas or Trump because he liked Trump. So it definitely was 16. I don't remember
exactly at month. It might have been December. But anyway, I had reached out to the Cowboys to see
if I can set up an interview with Jerry. I want to do a long story on him. And, you know,
someone involving his Hall of Fame candidacy. And I, you know, being a smart politician as
he is, he thought it was a good idea to do the story with me and do it with me because I'm a
Hall of Fame voter and because I work for a big New York newspaper. Okay. And right. So,
So he was in New York, like the Tuesday or Wednesday.
No, it was Thursday before the game.
And he was staying in a hotel in the city.
And I went up and met him in his suite.
And then he flew back to Dallas that night or the next morning.
And then he flew back on Saturday with the team.
So we're just talking about, he got very emotional.
As you guys probably know, it doesn't take much for Jerry to cry anymore.
Yeah.
Right?
So he just starts talking about how he put himself out there and risked everything to buy the cowboys and he starts crying.
I mean, it was an amazing interview.
And during the course of the interview, I'm just saying, you know, what's up with Romo?
Do you expect him back this year?
And that's when, you know, truly I had forgotten about that part of it.
Well, there's one guy here.
Yeah, because he said, I have the quote, I think he may get us his opportunity to get us a Super Bowl.
That's a mixed bag when I think about it.
That means you don't have DAC out there.
But it means what a story.
one for the H's if he'd step in there
and help us win a Super Bowl
on the field this year
and I just remember being blindsided
by that that nine years ago
like what this is a godsend
we've
ah but you know
yeah but I'll tell you this
so it was definitely a Thursday
and my whole plan was
I was going to sit down Friday
and write this story for our Sunday paper
and it was in the part of the paper
we called the ends
which, you know, is a longer piece,
the last two pages of our sports section in the tabloid.
Well, when he says that thing about Dak,
I call my editor and I said,
I know there's stories for Sunday,
but I got something I've got to pull out of that
and write this as a new story right away.
And so it got pretty good traction
because Dak was playing out of his mind,
as you guys obviously know,
and Tony hadn't played,
but he hadn't played all season, I don't think, right?
No, he was heard of the preseason.
And if you want to make these specious connections.
No, but he hadn't played the regular season.
Right, no, he hadn't played the regular season at all.
Dack went out and played the worst game of his career two days later after Jerry got those comments out.
I'm not saying, but, you know, they were.
It was an effect.
Yeah.
Well, I was just watching that documentary, too.
I'm not dumb with it, but the Jerry documentary.
Yeah.
And you were at that opening press, because I want to find that.
It looks insane.
I just bought the team press conference where he,
pointing over at Tex Schramm, they said, and he's like, I want your job.
Like, he's basically firing him there without firing him.
Yeah.
Well, Tex had the look of somebody who just passed away.
You know, like his best friend just died.
And in essence, you know, his best, he wasn't best friends with Landry, but they were
kind of tied together.
He had just flown back from Austin where a 29-year working relationship had just been
blown up. And he knew what was ahead. He knew that it was the end of the Cowboys as
we knew it. And I will say this. And I'm only saying this because I know I could have done
this. Netflix made a huge mistake not interviewing me. And I'm not saying that because I wanted
air timer. It has nothing to do with that. But I can honestly say that there's nobody in the business
that knows more about what happened during that the two months prior to Jerry buying the team.
and the two months after Jerry Biden team,
nobody knows more than me.
And there was so much I could have added to that if they had just asked.
And, you know, they wound up interviewing Skip Ballas and Dale Hanson,
neither of whom was involved in the day-to-day goings on of that story.
I mean, we were on that story for a long time.
But, you know, whatever.
I mean, they're lost.
Give us a taste of what we might have missed out on,
just because it was certainly a Jerry Puff piece in the end.
yeah well what happened was you know bum bright desperately needed to sell the team because he's having
major financial problems and text was his point person on the sale and anytime somebody had contacted
bright about buying a team he just defer him right you know send him right to text because bright was
as hands off an owner as ever was in NFL history um so anyhow bright kept
getting these inquiries from people who had a lot of money, and he go, okay, go talk to
Tex. And then Tex would call up, call him up after sitting down with the guy and said,
no, this guy is no good. And he kept eliminating candidate after candidate until Wright figured
out the reason that Tex was eliminating these people is because these candidates were saying,
I'm going to replace you and I'm going to replace Landry or I'm going to come in and, you know,
the whole everything is changing so text knew from those interviews um with these potential candidates
that his time was over so he was trying to find somebody and handpick somebody that would keep things
the way they were and um so when bright finally got wind of that you know bright at the end you know
his business was falling apart but he was not he was a bright man i was gonna say he's not a stupid man
i guess he was a smart guy and so when he found out that text was
putting the kibosh and sabotaging every candidate.
When Jerry Jones stepped up to the plate, he didn't let Tex meet him.
So timing helped Jerry Jones too.
It might have been sold to someone else previous to that, had...
Very, very possibly.
And so the other part of the backstory here, there was a guy named Tom Murray, and I believe
he worked for Channel 5.
He was the backup to Scott Murray when he was in Channel 5.
Tom Murray broke the story that Jerry Jones
This is one of the low moments of my career
Tom breaks the story that Jerry Jones buys the team
And he's going to hire Jimmy Johnson
And fire Tom Landry
Tom Murray was so far ahead of everybody on that story
That when he did this report on the news
At 10 o'clock that night
He did it from the University of Miami campus
to announce that Jimmy Johnson was going to be the new coach of the Cowboys.
Dang.
He called text to say, I'm calling, you know, to get your comment on this.
And text goes, young man, this is career suicide for you.
I don't know where you're getting this, but there's no truth to it.
Well, what Tom Murray was getting it is either his frat brother or his college buddy
was the head of the financial company that was handling the sale for Bombay.
so he had an impeccable source and he didn't need text to confirm it because text was
totally out of the loop on it it was as news to text as it was to everybody watching the news
that night i was in las Vegas because on the side i used to cover boxing for the morning news
i was covering a tyson fight the next day i get a call from my office it's you know 10 o'clock
dallas time or whatever and what do you know about this
I said, I don't know, I've been writing about boxing all week.
It's middle of February.
You know, we had another guy that was covering the Cowboys.
I was the NFL writer.
I'm probably giving you guys much more than you want to know.
But I flew home.
I skipped a fight and I flew home.
And so I was there for the Saturday Night Massacre.
Maybe a low moment for you in your career, if you see it that way.
But a much lower moment for Tech Shrimp who was finding out he was being fired by the weekend guy.
yeah what was a long moment for me because I was so competitive sure I hated not having the break on that story
but text was a very um um you you can feel most people had a lot of compassion for text at that point
because he just looked so forlorn and you know jerry gets up there and says this is like
christmas to me meanwhile the city is in mourning over landry
But, and here's the only problem I had with cowboy fans, all right?
Very, very hypocritical.
Brad Sham had the most listened to talk show in Dallas in those days.
Every call during the 1988 season as the Cowboys were going 3 and 13, Landry's got to be fired, Landry's got to be fired.
Schram's got to have some guts and fire Landry.
We can't go on with Landry.
The game is passing by.
So then two months later, this guy from Arkansas comes in, and he fires Landry, did exactly what
The fans wanted, but they didn't want some outsider coming in.
They wanted a text to do it.
And text didn't want to do it.
You know who texts wanted as the next coach of the Cowboys?
Jimmy Johnson.
Oh, wow.
He called Jimmy Johnson during the 1988 season and says, here's the thing.
I'm trying to push Tom out, but it's not going to be easy.
I want you to come here as a defensive coordinator.
And as soon as I can get Tom to retire, you'll be the head coach of the Cowboys.
And Jimmy didn't want any part of that.
That's incredible. I wonder how that would have worked out.
Yeah, Jerry does not want that in the documentary.
Well, but if that did work out, Jimmy was also, as we all would know, right?
He was the GM.
He was in charge of football.
Jimmy? Yeah.
So I wonder how that would have worked had he come to work under text, because text certainly would have been.
That's tricky.
Well, text didn't do the personnel, though. Gil Brand did that.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, so. But Jimmy wouldn't have.
Yeah. If Jimmy was the head coach and
text was still there. That would have worked out fine.
But you're saying, yeah, he wouldn't have. Okay. All right.
But while, oh, go ahead, sorry.
I just want to tell you one of the things.
Yeah. Because this is one of my favorite topics to talk about. Can you tell?
That when Jimmy took the job with the Cowboys, the 49ers wanted him after Bill Walls retired.
Jimmy at that point knew he was going to get the cowboy job
and so the 49ers hired George Seaford.
George Seaford was on his way to Cleveland
to interview for the Brown's job.
He was changing plays in Dallas of all places
when the 49er office got a hold of him
and said you have to turn around and come back
because I think Walsh had just quit
and I think that they knew they couldn't get Jimmy
and so Seaford never went to Cleveland.
He turned around into Dallas airport
and flew back to San Francisco.
Sorry, Dan.
Yeah, I'm from Cleveland.
But they would end up getting the greatest coach of all time,
which could lead us to your book in a second.
But yeah, that's all.
I just tell you, I have like nine minutes left, okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So fire away.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, that's all fascinating stuff.
I love this topic, too.
I know we want to promote your book,
but I haven't read this new book yet.
so um but yeah just uh amazing that you were there uh through it all and i guess that wouldn't
really work for the documentary either if the story was actually lots of people wanted to hire
jimmy johnson he was going to be an NFL head coach pretty soon takes the piss out of juries
the story of the maverick i'm the only guy that would have even dreamed of bringing me to the
NFL that's the way it's yep jeff lorry wanted to hire him in philadelphia i think the year before
Yeah. All right. The new book. Now you have another cowboy book, too. How about them, Cowboys? It's great. You've written Brady v. Manning. You've written a ton of books, but you've got a new one. Brady versus Belichick, the dynasty debate. This is a, in the last 10, 20 years, a big, it's the old Barry versus Emmett. It's just some argument that you can't figure out really,
who wins it.
I still don't know if you can definitively say,
even after Tom Brady leaves and wins a Super Bowl
and Bill Belichick, you know,
obviously what's happened to him.
So, I don't know, do we start at the end?
Like, who's your winner?
Brady versus Belichick?
Well, you've got to read the book to find out,
but I will tell you this,
that I think what happened after Brady left New England
him winning a championship in Tampa and Belichick getting fired is irrelevant to the argument.
Thank you.
Because the debate, the debate is who deserves a credit for what happened in New England.
It's not who proved they can win without the other.
Now, certainly, there's ego involved.
It was a race to see who can win first without the other, and Brady clearly won that.
And Belichick proved in Cleveland, as you know, that he couldn't win.
in there. And once he got Brady is when his career took off. But there were ebbs and flows of
this relationship and the 20-year dynasty. Early on, it was definitely Belichick. He's the one that
drafted him and kept him as a four-string quarterback. Kept him as his quarterback after Bledsoe was
healthy after two months following that horrific injury against the Jets. So it is not one-sided.
Now, I just, I still think it's Brady. But it's, you know, some people now using recency bias is
saying, oh, it's 80, 20, Brady, because look what happened after they split up.
Again, I don't think, I think that's irrelevant to the argument.
Yeah, that doesn't make a ton of sense to me either, because Brady going to Tampa Bay,
he's going with the attributes, the wisdom, the skill that he learned from Bill Belichick.
Absolutely.
And vice versa, you know, Bill Belichick had learned to work with this quarterback.
So now that he's got Bailey Zappy to expect to turn him into Tom Brady is a slight to both
of them. So the after
the fact thing drove me a little bit crazy
and I think your book
I will read it. I'm
fascinated by this sort of stuff
even just talking through it. It doesn't
have to be a definitive answer.
They're both, I just feel like it's a lot
of interplay between the two
and people sometimes have to say it's got to be
one or the other. Right.
It's a perfect moment in time
relationship that I just want to
celebrate as such.
Okay. Well, then that's certainly your
prerogative, but one of the things that makes sports so much fun is being able to debate
top of the time. Sure, yes. And I'm into the debate. I just, I, yes, I just, I love them both.
There's no scoreboard on this one that you can say, you know, you can compete. And at the end of
competition, you look at the scoreboard and you look, you see who won. This is completely
subjective. And everybody's opinion counts because there's no right or wrong answer.
You wonder, have you thought about a thing? Is there anything?
in the book like this.
So if Brady was drafted by the Browns,
they've got Butch Davis as their head coach,
they've got Tim Couch as their starter.
They take a shot in the sixth round or whatever.
Now he's on the Browns.
Do we know who Tom Brady is today?
Very possibly not,
but that's because we don't know who Spurgeon win is,
and that was the guy the Browns took instead of Brady.
That's a name I haven't heard in years, Gary.
Right?
So, yeah, it's very possible.
I mean, Belichick kept him as a four-string quarterback as a rookie.
Nobody keeps four quarterbacks except the Patriots' salary cap situation was so bad.
They needed cheap labor to fill up the roster.
So he said, I saw something in this kid over the summer.
Let's just keep him around.
If they tried to get him on the practice squad, they would have had to put him through waivers.
I think the practice squad was in five guys at that time.
So he didn't want to take a chance on that.
So he kept him as a four-string quarterback.
Guaranteed if he wound up in Cleveland, we would have never heard of him.
because how many quarterbacks have they've been through in the last 25 years.
If he winds up, you know, pick your team is a very good chance that he doesn't get a chance in training camp
and he gets cut and he bounces around and goes and plays in those silly leagues they had in Europe
or in an arena league or something like that.
He wound up in the perfect spot with the perfect coach.
And I think both of them appreciate what they meant to each other.
As badly as it ended, that's how good it started off.
it went on for so long and so many different iterations. I just, I, I'd want to at least get you
to comment on this before you go. So we're talking about the Cowboys 90s dynasty. We're looking at
the Patriots 2000s dynasty, which extended far longer and was far more successful.
I've sort of always contended Jimmy and Jerry were bound to break up. They were both too
hot. The egos were high. What do you think is different about what Belichick and Brady and even
Robert Kraft here? Because these guys are all very successful.
super huge egos yet they were able to make it work in a way that really nobody in sports ever has
it's much more common what happened to the cowboys where it flames out things turn over people want
credit yeah i think what happened in new england was that craft for a long time i can't say a long
time starting about maybe 2011 or 12 when when i think the relationship between brady and
belichick began to turn in the wrong direction it wasn't as bad at that point at that point
is at the end, but I think Brady started to get tired of Belichick always picking on him and making
an example of him in front of the team. I think Kraft was extremely instrumental in playing
peacemaker and keeping these two, having a good working relationship. And it wasn't until maybe 15
or 16, maybe 17, that the relationship between Kraft and Belichick really deteriorated
that the whole thing blew up
because they didn't have the buffer anymore
because Kraft and Belichick
now are just
I mean, it's really bad
and so I think
when I asked Jimmy Garapolo is it Brady or Belichick
he said Kraft
and I said really
he goes he had put out a lot of fires
and I think that's the truth
now I'm not giving crap
the credit for the dynasty
I'm giving him credit that he
he kept it alive a lot longer than it would have.
And as far as Jimmy and Jerry, if they had to do it over again,
I think they would have found a way to make it work.
It was the best time in their professional careers for both of them.
And the Cowboys were so good and so young at that point,
they would have won at least four in a row.
Because if Barry Switzer won the third one,
and they lost in the championship game,
and what would have been the third one,
they lost to the 49ers and they won again the next year,
year. They lost a close game to the Niners, and I think they fell behind 21-0, if I remember
correctly, early on. There's no way a Jimmy Johnson team falls behind 21-0 in a championship
game. So I think they would have won that game, and then they would have won on to what,
they would have killed the Chargers, the Chargers in the Super Bowl, because the Niners did
that, and then they would have beaten the Steelers against. So that's four in a row. And then it's just
the question of how many of their players could they have hung on to, because that was the
beginning of free agency. And I see you have
Brandon Aubrey, who someday
is going to hit a 75-yard field ball.
Yes, okay. We'll welcome
in in a second, because I have one more thing for you.
I know you've got to go, and we got Brandon waiting,
and he's probably in that room
looking at you.
Yeah, you know, my phone is ringing
now.
I really, really, I wanted to say
this. Romo versus
Eli. Take your call.
Tell him to hold on for a second.
I got to get his opinion on this, because
this is a big thing.
He's been in New York for so long,
and I really wanted to,
how much time do we have?
Hold on,
let's see if he finished.
Behind the scenes.
Okay.
Whatever's good for you.
Oh,
you're making him reschedule.
Oh, no.
Okay.
Okay, great.
Don't yell at me.
I'm all yours for five minutes.
Go ahead.
Did we make him reschedule you?
You're good. You've got five. Go.
All right.
They're running behind.
I'll try and just get, oh, they're always running behind.
Perfectly.
This is Tetris.
No, but our big debate around here, you're never going to write a book about this because
it's too, you know, Brady v. Manning, you know, Brady Belichick, that's national stuff.
We used to always debate Romo versus Eli.
And as a New York writer, as guys covered that team for years, like, is Eli a Hall of
Famer, Romo versus Eli?
Who do you take?
You've got to start a team in that era with one of the, you've got to start a team in that era
with one of those two quarterbacks. What do you do?
I have two questions for you.
When the Cowboys played the Giants for the first and only time in the playoffs in 2007,
with the Cowboys as the number one seed, who won that game?
Not Patrick Creighton. I can tell you that.
And my second question is, who's a two-time suitable MVP and which of those two
quarterbacks never made it past a divisional rounds
of the playoffs.
It's tough. That's my answer. It is
tough to
as a guy who is always on the side
of Romo in Romo versus Eli.
I don't want to, I personally
think if you just switched them, I think the Giants
were a better team. I think they had a better
defense, I think, but you know.
It's always the argument. Dale Hanson
used to always have the
Akeman Marino. Akeman-Marino or Akeman
Farr, like Akeman's better. Because
he's got more rings and, you know,
I don't know.
Eli definitely seems cooler post-career.
People have really warmed up to Eli.
And Romo seems like it's going the other way.
So that doesn't help either.
I have a radio show in New York now on Saturdays.
Yeah.
And I had Eli on a couple weeks ago.
And I said, Eli, your teammates always, I knew I covered his entire 16-year career.
I said, all your teammates always told me you were a funny guy.
How come we never saw it?
He goes, because that's the image I wanted to portray.
I didn't want fans thinking.
I was a goofball.
And now he's just a funny guy.
And now they're calling me back.
Go talk to Bradenstein.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for the overtime.
Gary Myers.
Go buy his book.
Book is out today.
Brady versus Belichick, the dynasty debate.
Happy National Guacamole Day, Gary.
We'll see you.
That is the great Gary Myers.
And now we made him wait.
Not content to make a Hall of Fame voter go over his time.
He'll make a Hall of Fame kicker go late.
Our man is.
This is holding bombs with his foot down on the gas.
Homie kick it off the turf.
Papa kick it off the grass.
Community Mechanical Make old air blow a baby, baby buckle up.
It's the Brandon Aubrey Show.
This is brought to you by Community Mechanical, our HVAC company.
Tara from Yochiero's HVAC company, right?
They are.
And, of course, the HVAC company of Brandon.
Aubrey, who had a pretty good game.
I guess it's not that great of a game
because I saw the award of the game ball
did not go to you.
So, you know, all right.
We were debating what you would have had to done.
Kick it from, what, 107, like the end zone?
Was there no way you were going to get that game ball?
What do you got to do, dude?
That game ball is, it's reserved for Shashadhi, obviously.
But I got the ball I kicked from the game.
So, like, behind the scenes, they're handing me my ball that I kicked for the game winner.
It's the same one that kicked the 64-yarders.
So I've got that ball from the game.
It might not be called a game ball, but it's a game ball.
So it's just semantics.
And it's just a ceremonial thing to celebrate Shottie getting his first win.
It was awesome.
The video was awesome.
You trying to figure out where you fit in there.
I heard you talking to Mac if you fit about that.
It was just awesome.
That's why we watched the games.
Speaking of, I loved you on the McAfee show.
Didn't have a theme song for you.
No, they did not.
And really appreciated that you did it from your kitchen.
The same that you do.
He doesn't have an office anymore.
Yeah, but I thought like, all right, it's McAfee.
They're going to put him in some cowboy thing or some big deal.
I was like, no, there's the serving bowl.
Jen's bowl.
It's very funny.
me it's just the timing of it i couldn't get to the facility we have a late start on mondays so
i just did it at home and not going to go into the the kids room and do it there it's funny
because it just feels like people are discovering you now like it takes a we're into the first
album you've been yeah you've been banging these kicks though for a couple of years now you've been a
not just a pro bowler and all pro like it's the best kicker in the NFL and now everybody's like
Whoa! Cowboy, like even guys on your own team, but those are probably new guys.
We saw like a video of you guys, was it walking through the tunnel on the way to the locker room?
And you guys got a couple of teammates like, whoa, man, you're actually good.
Yeah, no, guys are so focused on their job and making the team.
And he was a borderline guy that broke out and now is playing on game day and he's got a sack.
So he's making a big impact, but he can't really look around and kind of take stock of who's here.
He's focused on making the team himself and getting his job done to the best of his ability.
So it comes down to game time when he's kind of looking around and he's like, oh, oh, gosh, we've got this guy here, we've got that guy there, we've got this guy there.
So he's just also he knows who I am.
He's just trying to gas me up a little bit.
I know there's other bigger plays that we want to know what was your mindset during them and before them.
on one of the kickoffs you almost had to tackle a guy what was going through your mind there um
don't let him score uh my job so i was surprised it's actually faster than the returner um which
you wouldn't expect so i was trying to just get to the sideline before he did and make him cut
um because that's pretty much the the job description beyond kicking the ball um cj goodwin ran probably
faster than a four-two from playing safety on the side that the ball was kicked to all the way
in front of me, in front of the returner, because he's told me a million times that I'm not
supposed to touch anyone on kickoff. And if I do, he's going to be upset with me. So he just
wanted to make sure I didn't have to make the tackle, so he got up in front of me and got
the job done. Me, like I said, all I want to do is make sure the guy cuts so somebody else can
catch up and tackle him. Okay, but if they don't, if nobody else can catch up, can you
Yeah, I'll put my shoulder in there.
Okay, have you practice?
He hangs out with a banger.
I know.
He's a beast.
He's a trucking people.
At least he'll probably says he is.
I'm 212 pounds.
Our turner is probably 202 pounds.
And it's not like I'm playing patty cake playing soccer.
Like, here's so much more contact in soccer than there is as a kicker in football.
So I was used to it.
Shoulder to shoulder is the way soccer's played for, like, 90% of the games.
It's like, I'm used to contact it.
I'd be fine as long as I get my head out of the way.
Don't diminish your speed.
I don't know if you know this, but you're the fastest kicker in Madden this year.
Damn, son.
Did you pay for that?
I don't know.
I don't know how they get those stats.
They're just taking random guesses at it for kickers.
I think it's your sprint speed.
I think they got it.
Yeah, they got the catapult on you.
so we haven't asked you about this guy before he's uh to me he's like the the fourth
amigo he's like rick moranus and the ghostbusters it's cj what's j goodwin like yeah because
this seems to me like a guy who could be a special teams coach one day like he's just a
yeah a pro at this yeah he his whole job is um kind of being the utility guy in practice so he
plays scout offense scout defense then he does everything in special teams um he's
He's pretty much just paid to be able to do anything and everything the coaching staff needs him to do.
He's a captain, which shows how much he's valued by the players that's voted on by the players.
So everyone looks at the work he does and says, we want you to lead us.
And obviously, being older, people kind of refer to him lovingly as Unk.
So I think that kind of describes the way he is.
And he's a great dude down to earth and kind of just praises everything.
everyone um but yeah a pro's pro he's always ready for the job and he gets it done 99.9% of the
time um he he works wonders on punt he'll beat the vice as as a gunner um more often than not
and enforce a fair catch unless they have some crazy returner that doesn't like calling fair
catches then he's going to put him on his butt he played 30 snaps the other day on special
teams this is an insane volume for a special team he's on everything yeah a lot of
All four phases. All four phases.
And the fifth phase, field go block.
The less talked about it.
The hidden fistfave.
Since it has voted on, can you actually campaign to be a captain?
Can you like talk?
Can you trash talk some of the other guys that are running?
And do some like backroom dealing?
Yeah.
Maybe.
No, actually the vote was sprung on us without any warning.
Just one team meeting goes, all right, we're voting for captains.
Here's some pieces of paper.
Pick your guys.
We didn't know what's coming.
We haven't done that in years past that I've been here with McCarthy.
McCarthy had rotating weekly captains, one on offense, one defense, and one special teams.
So I didn't know this was going to happen at all.
And, yeah, we, us specialists voted for, we didn't vote for any of ourselves.
So we weren't expecting myself to be picked.
Did you vote as a block?
You all talked first and made sure that.
Yeah.
Get CJ in here.
Hey, Dak, you want our vote?
No, there's none of that.
Peel off one of those 60 million.
Honest.
Yeah.
Honest as it gets.
Well, let's ask you this.
This is like a sports talk question
of interviewing a player,
not just like talking to our friend,
but is your agent talking to Stephen now
about a possible contract extension?
This seems like the time to do it.
The strike while the iron is hot right here.
Yeah, this is out of my, out of my control.
This is I've given the keys to the agent.
Agent is doing what he thinks he needs to do, to do whatever they want to do.
And I'm like staying completely out of it.
They'll let me know if something happens.
And if nothing happens, I'm under contract.
So I'll play that out and see where we go from there.
But as far as I'm aware, they're doing their thing and I'm over here.
no no news i don't think there's been any communication between them and at least i'm not aware of it
if there has been okay well you can't leave here yeah you're aware of that we'll chip in
we'll chip in um i heard you so to reference that mackafee interview which was really cool because
uh like we're big football fans and stuff but we weren't pro specialists than he was so just the
the part where you were discussing because i get really nervous when you have to kick now i don't know
it's a really tough thing for it's we it's we get very nervous does your family tell you that
they must um they used to i think my mom still gets super nervous um probably my brother but jen
seems to be getting more and more confident in me she said uh her heart was racing but she wasn't
really like thinking about like what happens if you miss her anymore she's got her process that
she goes through in her head too so she she's becoming a grizzled veteran along with me the culture
it goes to the whole family so but the thing is like you're gonna miss and i heard you saying like
uh i know that and my job is to just it's almost like if you've already processed i'm going to miss
then after it happens you're more quickly back into the next thing you're not dwelling on it
i don't know that i've ever had a or heard a kicker just come out and say like yes i understand
i'm going to miss some of these even if it's perfect and you just have to move on from it uh that's
really trippy job yeah it's just a part of being a professional athlete you can't win every game
you can't win every rep um i mean pass rushers success rate like at whatever whatever it is like
you get one sack a game you're happy you score one goal in soccer in a game and you're a hero so
um that's kind of thought of the opposite as a kicker and you've got to kind of learn that
you're going to take on some water your people are going to boo you with
when you miss, people are going to be upset with you, but at the end of the day, you've got a job
to do, you've got some kicks to make. And if you dwell on it in that game, you have a chance to
really kind of cascade it and make it into a bigger problem than it really is. You've got
50 guys on game day that have a game to win. And if 40 of them do their job and 10 of them don't,
you're going to win. So it's not down to any particular person. You can't put all that pressure on
yourself. I can't just kick the ball off and make the tackle all on my own and then kick a
field goal. And that's just not how football's played. There's 11 guys on the field at the same
time on your team. And everyone's got to do their job to get a win. You know, in my fantasy league,
if a running back or wide receiver gets 15 points, that's like really good, a tight end maybe.
If you get an 8 point day, 10 point day, that'd be very good. Kicker, you know, 5 point day is
not uncommon, 20 points this week for Brandon Aubrey in fantasy football. You are a fantasy
god. You win? I won big. Thanks to Brandon Aubrey. It's like the only player in the league
that wants to hear about his fantasy stats right now. Every other guy's like, please stop talking to me
about this, but for him. Yeah, no, because it's an anomaly. I thought you're an outlier. There was
something that I, it really came into effect at the end of the game, the final drive.
but I get really frustrated when I watch the Eagles
because they've just changed the math offensively
and what you consider a successful play on second and third down
have to be completely reiterated
when you're going to go for it on fourth down with a high success rate.
So it's changed the math a little bit.
Your leg plus terp hasn't fully done that,
but a buddy brought up to me like,
I think teams are going to start going for two
in situations like that
Because, and that one was Tolbert, but with the return plus like two passes, it's field goal range.
And so, yeah, I mean, I just, I don't know.
I think you guys have completely changed the way eventually other teams are going to start realizing there's 20 seconds, one timeout, and two plays before they hit a relatively makeable field goal.
Yeah, I guess you got to take on into consideration.
You got a 50% chance of making a two-point conversion.
So you got a 50% chance of that
than same situation
outright beating you
because maybe give us a chance
at a long field goal to tie it
but then you'd take your chances in overtime
so you get a better chance of winning that game
than if you just go for two and get it.
But my point is just you would never think about this
if it wasn't you.
You would go for two or you would kick the extra point
every time and you would just say we'll play for it.
But you guys have such a high percentage
of being able to get that field goal now.
I think being teams might have to think about it.
You and Terp combined, I feel like, is worth so much more than they would be on other teams.
It's a cool thing we have.
I wish Bones were still here.
I appreciate you saying that.
That's a compliment.
So from my vantage point up in the radio booth, we're kind of at an awkward angle.
We're in the corner of the end zone.
And so it doesn't really do me any good to follow the ball on your kicks because I can't really tell if it's good or not.
So what I've started doing is I will just continue watching you after the kick.
like to read your body language
and it's kind of I don't know
it's like a groom at the wedding
everyone looks at the bride
but if you watch the groom
I just lock on you Brandon
yeah but how do you know
what he acts like if he misses it
I don't know
yeah you have to do some tape
some tape study
but most of the time
you kick it
and within a second of it
being in the air
you're high-fiving
bangor and Trent
because you knew
it was good off your foot
so for the 64-yarder
you kicked it
and I noticed
some of the giants started celebrating
and I was like, oh, no.
But then everyone went crazy.
And so back on video, your ball path was a little weird.
So off of your foot, did you know it was good?
Take me through that one or two seconds the ball was in the air.
Yeah, it's the power fade for sure.
Hit it a little higher.
Just wanted to summon as much for that as I could
and hit the ball a little bit higher than I wanted.
And it started at the left upright or maybe just inside.
left upright then had a pretty quick slide right towards the right upright which if it continued on
that path it probably would have missed by a yard or two but that power fade eventually corrects itself
out and when you have when it's over that length of distance it corrects to its original path
which ended up being just right or just yeah just right of center which is a good spot for it so no
Oh, I didn't know right off the bat that one was going to go in or not because it felt a little fat off my foot and just came back for me.
So, yeah, it was kind of a roller coaster of rides.
It's kind of like the whole game down to one ball flight.
So it was a little fat, meaning you could have kicked it further and you hit the net, right?
So you had a lot.
So I'm using a little, no, I'm using a little different than golf.
I'm saying higher on my foot than normal.
So like thin and fat on my foot.
thin being closer to the toe, fat being closer to the ankle bone.
Gotcha.
The field goal at the start of the fourth was not right down the middle,
so we can pick at these things now.
But you're on the left hash.
And in my head, I was trying to think back to other kicks and like,
is the left hash?
Does he not like the left hash?
And then the 64-yarder was on the dreaded left hash is what I was thinking.
Do you care?
Is left way different?
right do you okay it's all the same it's a straight it's a straight kick um guys tend to like if they're
right footed the right hash or the left hash they're left footed because you can kind of trick
yourself with an aiming point can aim at the um upright you're on and then pull your body through it
really hard and like if you're swinging harder you have a higher tendency to pull it so some guys will
aim um opposite of where they're going to pull it so if you're right footed you'd aim at the right
upright on the right hash and then pull across it really hard really fast and then it would
correct itself down the middle so you're technically not hitting your line but you're
setting yourself up for a pool kind of like a golf golfer setting up for a draw um i like to
just play it down the middle um and then not do that because every unlike golf there's no
obstacles i'm trying to play around the line should be straight okay um and then so you've made
60-yarders. You've made 64-yarders.
But you've never made a end of the game.
We lose this game if I miss it.
A kick until now.
What is, is that different mentally?
And what is it like mentally?
Um, yes and no.
It's, it is different mentally.
Um, and the fact that you're in a different situation, I guess.
But, um, you've got to,
you've got a little more mental gymnastics to do to get yourself into the I'm just hitting a normal field goal but once you get to that point it's just another kick then you're right back where you're supposed to be and it's the exact same thing that you've done a million times so you just got to do whatever it takes in your head whatever that looks like for each individual person to clear out the noise and okay I'm kicking a field goal what do I need to do to kick a field goal and then you start talking to
yourself through your process of okay i'm kicking a field goal i got to take my steps here and then i
got to take my line there and i'm going over here and okay i'm ready give the nod and let's go kick this
kick the ball it's um so yeah like it might be a little more noise that you're you're working through
um and constantly flushing out because like while i'm taking my steps back you might think about
something else and you got to push that out um and that happens in every kick it happens uh sadly more
and low leverage kicks,
you kind of maybe lose focus
at practice.
You might be thinking about
what am I eat for dinner
as you're taking your steps back,
which is ridiculous.
You've got to get that out of there
because it doesn't belong.
But in the high leverage moments,
you're so locked in
that those stupid things don't even pop in.
And I do a good job
personally getting rid of
any thoughts of outcome or situation.
And then Daible doesn't listen to our show.
because they tried to ice you there at the end, right?
Last week you said you don't mind a little icing.
Yeah, that's what my father-in-law said.
I need to probably keep quiet on that
because it was nice.
The extra 30 seconds, right?
Look, if you're going to say it on McAfee,
but there are dozens of people listening to this.
I think you'll be okay.
But I've heard you talk about just the breathwork
to calm yourself down um have you ever done any like have you ever done any sort of like uh
like brain mapping thing or like neural like if you ever done any sort of like cognitive therapy type
thing like there's a story today about like uh there's like a band that the pablo tori has a story on
it but it's like a neural mapping thing that some athletes use i just i know you're like science guys
so i don't know if you've ever looked into any of that sort of stuff yeah i haven't done anything
like that um not even aware of it so uh that would be interesting to hear more about um probably
the less i can do with prodding and poking into my brain in season the better it might be an
off season activity yeah probably so i uh and i don't think they actually prod you but i'll let you know
uh the other thing is a kid in texas hit a 64 yard or the other night that's incredible a high school
kids to him yeah are you trying to diminish what brandon did like i'm presenting
spending facts and letting him know that
these kids are kicking now. Kids be kicking.
Yeah. Yep. It's a highly
public job
that kids are enjoying and want to be like
now. And you have kids that are
incredible athletes that before, I guess, would laugh
at the kicker, kind of see the spotlight that is
available to them if they take it seriously and
go down that path. So I
think more and more kids are taking it seriously at a younger age and it's it's cool to see and
um like a lot of people are noticing the position's getting more and more competitive and
there's better people um to compete with did i see that uh colton was at the game
colton was at the game yep he he's asleep um and his little wrap on mom's chest by
by overtime um and we went out for the overtime kick apparently mom
mom's heart started racing like I was talking about and I woke him up and he was he was awake for the
moment um that's awesome we were we're talking about the mental stuff and you don't want to
dive into it during the season but have you ever read this book the inner game of tennis
and have you ever heard of it even i uh jen was listening to your podcast and obviously um
she got two copies of it like three weeks ago so it's sitting it's sitting on the the what
used to be the office desk just just waiting waiting to be read okay yeah maybe it's an off-season
as i was as as i am reading it i'm about halfway through and then and hearing you talk
and you say you're separate yourself from the situate like you it it sounds like this book
you might read it and go yeah duh like this is how i already think very possible um but
It just, yeah, it just feels like it's a, you know, you get your mechanics down and everything and just kind of trust in that and just be yourself then.
Like I was surprised, I heard that McAfee thing too.
I was surprised to hear you say that you don't want to be robotic, that you actually...
Yeah, vibes.
Each kick is its own, you know, different little entity.
I thought you wanted to be more precise.
In a perfect world, you do want to be a complete robot.
get yourself in the same exact position relative to where the ball is going to be,
and then the ball will be in the same spot relative to you,
and you can take the exact same steps of the ball
and kick it in the exact same spot every time,
and it'll follow that exact line.
But we're human.
My snapper and holder are human.
They're going to miss the spot by an inch.
They're going to be rotating the ball, a slightly different lean,
and all those things while they're within my,
standard of what i need to make a kick um i do have to adjust slightly when when you see the ball
on the ground um in a slightly different um spot and i'm not going to get myself into the inch
perfect spot every time for setup um and i don't what i meant by i don't want to be robotic
because when you try to be perfect in your setup and you want the snap and hold to be
exactly perfect every time when you're so robotic and set in your ways and something is just
slightly askew, then you're going to notice it and you're going to kind of panic in your head
a little bit. And for me to know, okay, I just need to be in this general area. I need that ball
to be in the general spot and then kind of just let the muscle memory of kicking a million
balls take over so that way I don't have to be like, as I'm taking my step to kick the ball
and I'm starting my swing and be like, oh my gosh, the ball has leaned like two degrees to the left
worse than it should be and the spot is missed off by like two blades of grass. What am I going to do?
I don't need all that going through my head.
I just need to shut everything off and get to the general spot and then my muscle
member to take over from there.
It is like he wrote this book.
Seriously,
that's exactly the kind of thing it's telling you that you have to do.
And I think a lot of athletes have a problem doing that because they're thinking,
I got to do this, this, I got to hold my elbow here, whatever it is, and it overwhelms
you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're being overcoached.
and one thing I learned through my time in soccer is every coach has a different way
that they want to do something you kind of have to figure it out what they want and
then give it to them that way and when it comes to kicking you can't have too many
thoughts in your head you can't have too many voices in your head because it's such a
personal job every kicker has a different frame they're working with their bodies don't work
the same way like my hips are completely different than um let's just say bucker uh the way he plants
is going to be way different because his ankles move different so like when you have one coach that's
trying to make you into bucker or they're trying to make you into me and your body does not move that
way um they don't understand that and you can't use their coaching because then you're going to be like
okay my ankle was uh three inches away from the ball it needs to be four when i plant you don't need
ought to be thinking about all of that and you can make it work with your foot at three inches or
your foot at four inches if you change something else somewhere else and some coaches kind of
especially in the kicking world get their head wrapped around this is the only way to do it and they
pushed that in their their players heads and the kids at a young age whether they're at a young
age or in the NFL level or wherever it is they think that they have to do it that way and for me
I've learned if I'm going to fail, I want to fail my way.
So I just, and if anyone tries to coach me, I'll just nodge and look at them.
And then it goes right out of my head and go back to what I have.
And I've got one voice that I really listened to,
and that's the kicking coach that I found day one.
Brian Egan's his name, if you guys want to look him up, he's awesome.
He's been incredible for me.
And he knows my form, my body and everything, the way I work perfectly.
so if I get off of my normal form
that'll get me right back to what I'm supposed to be doing my way
is Holger
I don't know if that makes any sense to you Brandon
Holger no
Dirk had a personal coach from Germany
that he first touched a basketball with this guy
and when Dirk would get off like
Holger's in town and we knew a big run was coming
it's interesting to hear you talk like Dan do you approach
did you parent both your kids the same
of course not right correct
you'd like to yeah
but Trent and Brian
and Brandon have a little baby
with every field goal and there has to be raised
differently because not
not everyone is the same
but we love them all
Julie yeah that's a great way to put it
what were you doing thank you
what'd you have to do today
did you had was this just set up
because you're now newly famous guy
or is this a thing that was on the books
yeah
this has been on the books for
about two weeks just a little ad shoot for a startup company delivering food or all essentials really
with a drone just called wing okay Jake's going to shoot that drone out of the sky I told you the
delivery drone is fine you know what it's there to do I was telling the beginning of the show
this drone is flown over my house the last couple nights when I'm walking the dogs and I'm all
freaked out by it I don't know why and he said shoot it the delivery drone
drone is fine. It has a purpose. It's there. It drops the food. It goes. But I don't think we should
just accept, like, you're out for a walk and somebody can follow you with a drone.
So did you have really weird? Did you dress up in like a fake cowboy's uniform? That's how
these things go. Those are great. Like it's just a white. This one blue.
This is what I was wearing. I just finished it a little bit ago. They just wanted generic
clothes, um, athlete, um, no visible logos is the, the big one.
I wanted to give another people.
Are you wearing makeup?
No.
Okay.
This is the natural look.
I am just starting to sweat, though.
Okay.
I didn't know.
That might be the glisten.
Okay.
I just didn't know.
You're at a photo sheet.
Wing, now serving DFW.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
Well, I guess I'm going to have to get on board with drones.
Was it just you?
Was it other players?
Me, Wanye, Thomas, and Jalen Tolbert.
Okay.
Good times.
Did you kick out?
represented by athletes first i think so um had to bring a little bit more energy than i i normally
have so a little personality in there which is a little force you might sense that since you
have known me well that's awesome dude congratulations what a game what a fun game that must have been
that must have been quite a high so what you do it yeah that's a lot of fun yep absolutely we'll talk
to you next week at
two and one. I'll see you
Saturday. Sounds good. I appreciate
your confidence. You're new little buddy.
We're friends. We're travel buds. I'll see them before you guys.
Yeah. Well, I don't need to be friends because I'm a fan.
A real one. So you guys are
media members over there. Jimmy John's order.
Okay,
we'll have it winged over.
Thanks, man.
All right. Later. There you guys. Happy National
Gwacamole Day. Oh, that's right.
Beautiful. The great
Brandon Aubrey.
What a guy
What a guy
He's awesome
Yeah
It's pretty cool
Let's do this
Qualis Roofing presents
On this day
In history
Quarles yes approved
That one too
Yokiro will they deliver
A drone guack
What they do
Is they have a
Vat of guac
And you just hold your bowl of chips up
And it is
From high
High overhead, it drops it down.
Targeted drone strike.
And you just...
On your bowling trips.
That's right.
Yes.
Today is...
Oh, we got to do viewer mail birthdays, don't we?
Let's go right to there.
I just want to say that...
Oh, yeah, I guess we talk more Yokiro at the end, but...
Go ahead. Say something about Yo-Chiro.
So good.
Stupid.
I don't know.
I got to get away from that.
I just want to eat it for meals.
that's okay
it's delicious
fantastic
yeah it goes good on everything
the guac
well I'd like to challenge that though
Keso
come on
challenge I don't have a bowl of ice cream right here
I'll do it
you just told me that
100%
100% I would do that
green
it's cream on cream bro
yeah
but you'd have to heat the
casso first
kind of drizzle it like you would
like a fudge
like a fudge
yes
hell while we're there
instead of nuts
how about some tortilla chips
you're telling me that's gonna be bad
little fried ice cream and then drizzle some queso on it i'm going to think of something that
it won't be good with yeah that's stand for you yeah i mean you challenged me
you say it's good on everything i'll find something it's not good you try to challenge me um no she
was just making a statement about her casso yeah it wasn't a challenge you saw it as a challenge
it's because she's a woman when they speak that might she says like i'm being a
Choward Therapy.
Yeah.
An automatic double dog dare.
You go to the school of Brandon Aubrey.
Cut out the noise, Dan.
I have an email here.
Cool.
Dear father of the fallopian tube.
Okay.
This is the part of the show where Julie...
Julie acts like she's not into this.
And especially if, like, we're in here with a client, she's like, oh, no.
Why would you do that?
Tara's cool.
Tara's on board.
I know.
But Julie's going to pretend like she's not on board.
Father of the philopold.
If you guys only knew Julie off the air, oh, my God.
Right.
Follope in this.
She never shuts up about Follopian tubes.
That's her new IG handle.
Underscore.
I don't even, hey, here's one.
I don't even know what those are.
Yeah, me neither.
What is a Follopian tube?
It's in there.
Tara?
Here's what I know.
Next.
The only thing I know about all of it is it's in there.
But, you know, if you're a lot of stuff in there, man.
I'd have a better chance.
Being able to identify, like, a football play on a sheet,
then I would naming the diagram of the female insights.
There's no way.
We should do that.
And they would have us do that in, like, sixth grade.
Why?
The female.
Right.
Well, what are we going to do?
What's this going to do?
Probably comes in handy later.
Pin the fallopian tube on the female body.
That's the new sign for in here.
It's like the out, like, Jay and backwards, Jay.
It's kind of like that.
I would have guessed that.
Yeah.
My good buddy Patrick is having his O.J. Simpson birthday today.
hopefully he was
woken up in that special way
go stars
more Jake
especially more Blake
just enough Dan
and much more of Sarah's milksheds
geez always more ham
from DJ finger blast
a stars fan said all that
oh no not that normally
not the star the calm
sedate star
yeah the class of the
thought you were better than that
Stars fan.
So it's Tuesday, September 16th.
We have some on this date in 2007.
O.J. Simpson arrested in the alleged armed robbery of sports memorabilia collectors in Las Vegas.
He was later convicted of kidnapping an armed robbery sentenced to nine to 33 years in prison.
Was released in, so apparently he served 10, at least in 2017.
And then set a...
Hello.
Hey, Twitter world.
To the Twitter world.
It had in a prolific social media.
What an era.
You didn't know what you had until it was gone.
Especially around this time of years when you miss him.
Yeah, I miss it a lot.
His fantasy draft.
I loved watching his fantasy draft every year.
He would have an opinion on the Jerry Doc.
Without a doubt.
And in the same video, it's a two-minute video.
Jerry Doc, Gaza.
Charlie Kirk.
He would go like around the horn on issues.
And all from his golf cart.
Yeah, then he popped the clutch.
If you were still alive, we would have been playing audio of OJ
talking about Brandon Aubrey for Brandon Aubrey.
I promise you.
Damn.
Brandon Aubrey?
64 yards.
100%.
And Brandon would have awkwardly smiled through it.
How's your little AI buddy?
Oh, you're going to do this?
Hell of yeah.
That's a good one.
That's a good one.
2014 on this day, after a day of public pressure from angry fans and concerned sponsors,
The Vikings.
Reverse 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
because he was disciplining his four-year-old son with a wooden switch.
Dude, it was bad.
It was bad.
And I guess that's one of those things where it becomes a cultural thing.
quickly of like well that's how it was for me
and that's how we do in this
and I'm like man I don't know
I don't know
I can't leave marks on your kids
like that
the good news is that's the only
super gross thing Adrian Peterson did
stand up guy
what else is he got
charity money I'm hearing reports that he was
paying for orgies using his
charity's money that he was booking hotels
and paying women and having huge
parties with charity money so that's at least two things
It's back to you guys.
And on this day in 2019, Saturday Night Live said it had rescinded its invitation to Shane Gillis to join the cast.
Oh, no.
They found that he had, he posted a video in which he used a racial slur for Chinese people.
That's so funny, this is the way, like, the AP writes it.
Yeah.
They actually, like, then looked at the podcast he had been doing for years.
And I remember, I've heard Shane say, like, when he found out that that's what it was,
He was like, oh, that?
Like, he thought there's a hundred other things that they might have brought up.
The craziest thing is that Saturday Night Live hired somebody and didn't ask,
what is it you do on your podcast?
And you'll certainly never host this show twice.
Yeah.
A famous wedding on this date in 1995.
Theoretical physicist.
So you're not sure.
Was he a physicist?
That's not what that means at all.
Stephen Hawking.
Married his nurse
Dude, this story is...
Elaine Mason
So bad
Says here she was later accused of abusing him
She was but I'm pretty sure
He was married when he became
No, because he was born that way, right?
He had a wife
He wasn't born that way?
Okay, so he had a wife at some point
Who was taking care of him
And then...
Like stuck with him
Yeah, all that
Yeah, he was married to her for 30 years
and he's like, yeah, but the nurse is
10 years younger than you. And the year he divorced her,
he married the nurse.
Yeah.
And he's all, you know, dude,
it's Stephen Hawking. Like.
Better sponge baths.
No doubt.
But like, just think of,
then she brought out the switch.
This, is this honestly
the best test case we have for what,
like, the power of money or fame?
Like the dude,
okay, brilliant, he's deformed.
Like, he's confined to a chair.
Sorry for laughing.
He needs,
round the clock hair
and he's able to divorce
his wife and just get a new
hot one nurse because he's famous.
Yeah, the number one caretaker.
That woman didn't want to be
doing that all those years but
she was married to him.
I wonder if she, once she got
married to him, he got a new nurse.
Probably, yeah.
Like she didn't want to wipe his butt anymore.
Was he the funniest Epstein rumor?
It's not a rumor. He was on the island.
They retrofitted a little sub for him because he'd never been in the water.
I didn't make that up.
No, the rumor about the math problems.
Oh, my gosh.
The math problem was fake, unfortunately.
He would make the girls solve a math problem.
But like for kids.
It was too high.
They couldn't reach.
They had to.
That was not true.
And it's.
Most of you stopped laughing.
It's a funny story.
The submarine thing is 100% true.
Was it a yellow submarine?
Okay.
And it's September 16th.
on this day in dumb zone history we had a lot um but i'm going to narrow it down to this because this was
a huge deal on our show in 2020 and i have some audio from this uh do you guys remember the
houston radio fight oh yeah for sure give me one line from it i could do the whole thing i bet

Do you feel different about the Texans after seeing everybody else play?
A lot of people were on the Falcons this week.
I'm not a, I'm not a Falcons believer.
But a lot of people were on the Falcons this week, and, well, that didn't work very well either.
Are we talking or are we just shutting off the phone?
You want to me to do the homework.
I'm doing the homework.
Yeah, you do the homework, like, not during the show.
They had had a minutes-long fight about what team could trade for James Harden.
So the guy, very passive-aggressive.
He's like, oh, no, no, you want me to do the homework?
I'll do the homework.
Yeah, right now.
During the segment.
Homework, like, not during the show.
What we're trying to do a segment?
No, you kept asking me last segment, what teams?
I'm going to find out.
I've got several teams.
So you're just going to check out of the show and go to...
This is what you wanted.
You want me to give you the team.
That is not what I said.
So you don't want the team.
I want you to do it.
You just want to say it hyperbole because you know, I don't know the team right off.
When you're supposed to do the homework.
Oh, really?
Not in class.
Really?
Yes.
See, the teachers want you to do homework at home, not in class.
They're both like eating their own beards.
And to just check out of the segment, really?
I'm not going to pay attention.
We're not going to talk.
You just literally asked me what team.
So I told you, I can do it on there.
And so I started doing it on there.
I figured you could handle the show.
Go ahead.
Why are you going to go ahead?
I mean, just, just why are you here?
Really?
You just check out of the segment like, F you?
I'm not paying attention?
Really?
Because that's pretty much what you just did.
Okay.
I mean, come on.
Okay.
Really?
This is what you want to do.
On live air, this is what you want to do.
You just checked out of the show.
You just asked me the last segment.
You just asked me the last segment.
I can't do it.
And I said, I didn't do the research.
No, you just kept screaming throughout the whole time.
Like, what times?
What?
Make fun of his accent.
You make fun of other people for doing that.
Really.
All right.
You know what?
No, you're having a temper tantrum on air, man.
Like, you're like on live air right now.
You don't have to pay attention.
It's cool.
We'll just do it like you're not here.
So you can do whatever it is that you want to do.
You just let me know.
Start doing the show.
Shut up, crying and do the show.
You're live on air.
Dude, you're live on air.
Shut up and do the show.
Really?
Yes, shut up and do the show.
You're live on air and you're crying.
Do the show.
You're not doing the show.
No, you're the one telling me to leave.
If you want me to leave, I'll leave.
just quit crying.
You could talk about this during the break.
Do the show.
Do it.
All right, well, if I'm just going to do the show by myself, then, yeah, why are you here?
Doce.
Do the show.
Just quit crying about it.
Keep talk.
Talk sports and quit crying for two straight segments.
There's a lot more.
But at some point, and I'll try to find it.
Doose, do the show, bitch.
Deuce.
Yeah.
Deuce.
I love that.
It's great.
We listen to this a lot.
I want to hear the whole.
whole thing.
Oh, do you have more than that or just that?
That's it.
That's good.
Okay.
I know you paired it down.
Brandon Aubrey.
Not good.
Who is that?
It's supposed to be O.J.
Let's keep messing with it.
Oh, that was the...
You don't have to pull it down.
Other birthdays today, Hawkeye is 64.
Dude.
Great dude.
That's tough, man.
A day that Robert Redford died on his birthday.
He's the sting guy.
Oh, he loves the sting.
Yeah.
My daughter, my athletic daughter, text to me and says you, the letter, you, speaking about you,
you see, she says, you see King from the natural died?
That's so perfect
I just want to speak like her
Did you get a follow up on I Show Speed?
Yeah
So I Show Speed
It was in Dallas yesterday for his...
Do you know what that is?
Any of you? Any of you people?
Well
Julie's kids probably do
Writer probably does
Streamer makes 40 million a year
Something like that, right? He's the most popular
streamer.
one of in the world.
And you've never heard of him. No. He's 20 years old.
Oh, geez. Okay.
Oh, Jesus, right. And so we like to, I have daughters that are like 20. So it's like, okay,
well, they're very online.
And I went into this one telling Dan, like, I know about this guy. So he's been around for
three, four years. There are times where I don't even know, and we ask the girls, and we
know they know. But this is one where even I knew, so I knew Dan was walking into a hornet's
nest. But they always think that.
I'm behind the times.
Like, yeah, oh, you've just heard of ninja or whatever it is, you know?
And so I texted Eden, what do you know about I show speed?
Mm-hmm.
And she just replies one word, girl.
Yeah.
And then a couple minutes later, you're just a smidge late.
Yeah.
Oh, burn.
Just a smidge.
Girl.
I love that.
Happy Birthday
Hawkeye, great dude.
King from the natural.
Oral Hersheiser is 67.
Why'd you say it like that?
Did I say his name weird?
Oral Hersheiser.
Is it Earl?
Earl?
Right.
His name is Oral.
Oral.
It's a weird word.
Yeah.
Go on?
Just as a child, I could not handle it.
The fact that there's somebody named Oral.
And he was like the guy, you know.
You know, it's like every book you'd get.
There's five pictures.
Oral Hershey's as one of them.
I'm like, this kind of oral?
That's the same thing?
Type of oral?
What are we talking about it?
And have you just heard of a bunch of other people named that from that era?
Never heard of the name oral before at all.
I feel like his dad is.
But you know how people were named after like their profession?
A blacksmith.
Back in the day, it started in the 1800.
Yeah, this guy.
Are you from the Oriole?
Oral family?
I can tell.
Their date book is full up.
Just a casual line of ladies.
Nobody said ladies.
I'd love to date.
Yeah, a line of ladies.
That has nothing.
Matt Harrison is 40.
Yes, it does.
He was a good soldier.
Yeah.
He only thinks one way when it comes to oral.
He doesn't understand that it can go all way.
I was literally the one pointing out that I'm not.
Bryson Deschambeau is 32
Say what you want about
Vincent Deschambeau
Samajet Pryne
I said that weird
It's 30
Sooner
Is he still around
Mm-hmm
Cincinnati
He might be
Taking some snaps soon
Yeah
Slide in between the pipes
Sam Howl is 25
So I got thinking
That this morning
Is he still around?
Where's he?
Damn
They just traded
for him. The Eagles
traded for Sam Howell
during the preseason.
And that's why
then the Chargers, excuse me, the Vikings
ended up getting
Carson Wentz
to be a backup because they traded Sam
Howl. And now Carson Wents
is starting this week.
Because McCarthy's hurt already.
That's insane.
And now you know the rest of the story.
Hurt. With quotes.
Really?
Seems fine.
You think they want the Carson Wrench show?
I think they want anyone besides McCarthy.
Somebody posted from, I think it was on, I don't remember what message board it was.
Maybe it was just Twitter, but J.J. McCarthy's wife had a baby a few days ago.
So people were like, yeah.
Too much skin to skin.
You know, it's known when you have direct contact with that baby to lower your testosterone by 20 to 30% of the four days after birth.
Is that real?
Yeah, oh, yeah.
Really?
You become a baby.
Not a baby, but you become a.
effeminate.
Wow.
That's why he won't do it, skin to skin, like hanging out right away because he thinks it's gay.
Not going to get me.
Yeah.
You think it's gay.
Not going to get me.
J.J. McCarthy.
Just put up a little shield.
Yeah.
Stay away, baby.
This estrogen away from me.
I have meat to eat.
Craig Way is 65.
Blake.
Good dude.
That's Blake's leader.
You know him?
I've met him and introduced myself to him several times.
Claim to fame.
You've probably worked with Craig Way before.
Yeah.
Fog Sport, Southwest, back in the day.
Is he Hansy?
No, I didn't know him enough for him to have the opportunity.
Robin Yunt, 70.
Tim Raines, 66.
White Sox.
Mel Hall is 65.
Dan.
Give him a call.
How's your buddy Mel Hall been?
You guys know who Mel Hall is?
How's your pal?
He is a former Major League Baseball player.
He was well-known in the game he would, in his back pockets,
he would have three batting gloves in each back pocket, layered over each other,
and just with the fingers hanging out.
And he said it was because when he would hit a home run,
he'd be like waving to everybody as he jogged around the bases.
So you'd think that's probably the,
Yeah, then it took a twist, didn't it?
The most interesting thing about his career.
Well, he also played for the Yankees for a while, I believe,
and lived in the Trump Tower and was kind of friends with Donald Trump.
That's a thing.
He did play for the Yankees.
He was involved in a major, major trade between the Cubs and Indians when I was a little kid.
So I was pretty into that, big fan of Mel Hall.
And then got to meet him because he lived in Dallas when I first started working here,
and I played adult men's league baseball, and he did as well.
And we had, like, the Mel Hall home run challenge on our show one day.
Cool.
We went to Rivershawn Park across street from the station, and we all took swings,
and Mel Hall hit a couple of home runs out, and there was a bunch of people there watching it,
and that was fun.
It sounds like a lot of fun.
Yeah.
Also a thing that happened to him, he was an odd duck.
He would just call us.
me or Rick Arnett was our producer at the time
and he would call and ask for like
hey can you get us free Cowboys tickets
can you get free whatever
and he would barter with
I'll give you a bat
and so like I have a game used
Mel Hall bat
because we got him some tickets
for a game once. Yeah that's awesome
like he would do that. That is all I also remember
he was kind of a weird
one of the weird moments in life where
it's this is a childhood hero
I could only imagine
standing here talking to Mel Hall in a parking garage,
which is where I was.
You know, we're on our way out,
and I'm trying to get to my car.
And, like, he wouldn't leave.
And I'm thinking in my head, like...
Yeah, just imagine.
Boy, little Dan would have never thought
he would ever want to leave this situation,
yet I'm just wishing Mel Hall didn't want to talk to me anymore.
You've got to beat traffic.
Me rolling up the window on Kenny Gant.
And then this all kind of took care of itself
to where I didn't have to worry about
Would he be bothering me too much or anything?
He actually was charged, arrested, then went to prison
or some underage sexual deviancy with his girlfriend's daughter.
Yikes.
He lived with his girlfriend in an apartment in Dallas.
And you kept the bat?
And I still have the bat.
that's a wild story man
I mean he's out now but I haven't heard anybody
is he out?
No no I'm sorry
he's out in 31
yeah
I would have gotten an alert
somebody would have told me right
for sure
and who knows maybe he's I don't know
let's leave that one alone
maybe he's reformed everything's good
David Copperfield 69
anti David Copperfield was
I've really stoked up my anti-magic
yeah you hate midshipments in the last couple weeks I think
Molly Shannon 61
hilarious I thought she was great
Amy Polar 54

She got a bag
Flo Rida
46 and
Tom's own birthday of the day
I met Flo Rida at I-93 one
Oh wow
Oh really? How exciting
How'd that go
It's so weird
Was he just a normal dude
Yeah, pretty much.
You can't just be like, hi, I'm Flo Rida.
No, he talked normal, yeah.
Yeah.
What was that voice I just heard?
What are we doing?
That was my Flo Riter.
Or was it fake OJ?
Meeting him in the hallway in radio station voice.
Hello.
I'm Flo Rida.
Dumb's on birthday of the day, Nick Jonas.
Did you ever get into that, Julie?
Like, what's their music like?
From the righteous gemstones.
That's why he gets Dumb Zon birthday.
No.
I wasn't a Jonas brother.
I feel like they probably make good music.
I like the Waffle House.
The song, the Waffle House.
I like that one.
Born in the State Now Dead.
I don't know.
I thought you were just kind of commenting on it.
A real yay boo here.
Set it up.
Carl Donuts.
Uh-oh.
Yay, because he was named like the,
he's the leader of a nation.
Leader of all the people.
He was named successor by the current leader.
He had a current leader.
I feel like...
And he was like, you know what?
You probably don't want the blessing of the other guy in this...
You're in charge now of the whole thing.
Are you going to be here?
Hitler named him successor, like, in the bunker right before his suicide.
He's like...
What a dick move.
Hey, and your friend just a ticking time bomb.
You're the...
Good luck.
Hey, congratulations.
Hey, you should tell your wife you got promoted.
That's right.
It's funny.
I just read that in a book.
actually this morning
about the end of World War II
and I just read that.
What book?
Oh, it's like five days...
Did you read early in the morning?
Yeah, I got up and just before the day
start I read and drink coffee.
I forget it was like five days.
I gosh, I can't remember because it's a pretty long title
but it talks about the five days after World War II
and kind of all the behind the scenes happened.
It goes into detail of Hitler's suicide
and what they did after and Mussol.
and the whole bit. It's actually really interesting.
Wow. Yeah.
I'm in.
I had some. That's why I'm asking, because Dan will read that on you.
Yeah, it was good. I did nothing like that this morning.
Guns of August about World War I.
It's incredible.
Big mess. Could have been avoided.
Yeah. Most of them can.
And died in this day, still dead. I'll give you Shab Woolley.
He did a song called, like, the Purple People Eater.
Oh, no. Him too, right?
It's a jam
What does he got?
Okay.
He had a bad thing?
No, I don't think he's bad.
I'm not sure, but he is also credited for producing the Wilhelm screen.
That's what it is.
Sound effect.
And that's what happened.
On this day in history.
You do?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
I don't want to do it.
Here it is.
Yeah.
Yes.
makers will use that.
It's in every movie.
I'm pretty sure it was in,
what's the Seth Rogen thing,
the studio?
Do you see that one,
a bunch of Emmys?
You knew it would.
Dude, okay.
We're in way over time here.
We didn't talk.
That last episode was awesome.
If you watch that,
if you don't even want to watch that show,
watch the last episode.
The one where Brian Cranston
and it's like passed out
and they're having to get him.
That was actually good TV to me.
I was happy when it finished.
Agreed.
Yeah, it was fun.
And especially on National Guacamole Day.
It is certainly National Guacamole Day.
That's why Tara, Tara Kierro from Yo Kiero is here in studio.
Just to promote, just to bring the joy of guacamole.
Just to bring the joy of guacamole.
Yes.
And then, of course, all of Jake's wonderful songs and tidbits at the right around break.
That was awesome.
No, it is National Guacamole Day.
And I'm just here to promote it and bring you guys tacos.
some really, really good guacamole.
And for those that are listening,
for the rest of today,
you can go to yokeirobrands.com
backslash NGD,
which stands for National Guacamole Day.
And you can register to win a year
of free guacamole and some great swag,
which I'd love to show you
our female version of the car tray
and some great product.
Let's see it.
You have it here?
I do.
I love that it's the female version.
Yokirobrands.com also has a
store locator.
You want to make sure they carry the
specific wares. My Tom Thun carries
all of it. And if they don't,
all the beans. Then you protest,
you paint a sign,
you write a letter.
On your own, yeah, I don't know that Tara's going to
No, she won't care.
That creamy jalapeno dip.
Yeah, they have all kinds of things outside of guacamole.
Oh, look, she has a gift bag. Amazing. Wow.
Look at her. What a gal.
Yeah, here we go. This is
the tray for the ladies, so.
I love a good scrunchy, too.
Anna wears yoke here of scrunchy's like every day at school.
Please know that is for Nora.
Okay.
Oh.
Got it.
So that is a car tray or a drink snack tray that goes on top of your cup.
And know that those also are for your wives.
I think you have to take the lid off and put it on.
That's excellent, though.
You set it on the cup.
Yeah.
So what that'll do is that.
cup. As women, we like to stay extra hydrated. You love cups. Oh, my God. Yeah. No, turn it other way.
Two girls. Yes, two daughters. Three men, three cups. Yes. Yes. My husband tells me if I come home with another
damn cup, I'm going to have to live out in the barn. But yeah, so this snack tray goes right on the
cup and it just stays right there and you can fill it with dips, chips, chips, whatever it is you'd like.
Yes. I'm trying to get the top back on one.
I love it.
This is funny.
But again, so instead of a big, and this, you can actually use while you're driving.
So you don't have to stop down and pull over and put a car tray on your steering wheel.
For women, we multitask, and this is perfect as we're driving, carpool lane, etc.
Jake, turn yours to work on the handle.
That's all we need is for Julie to not only worry about putting on her makeup while she's driving in.
But to get some chips and dip.
I have my queso, all my dips.
Mm-hmm.
There you go.
It's pretty amazing.
there you go perfect and maybe during the mom game episode last week those cubs had a little wine
and some chips and dip in them we put wine in our yet both of you seem to be a little lubed up on wine
this morning though what are you trying to say i feel like i just saw you both drink wine i'm not
judging i'm just pointing out of the back he's super into saying i'm not judging i'm not judging
Cheers, Tara, but...
I'm not judging but, but yeah.
Yes, cheers.
Cheers.
It is, yes, National Guacamole Day.
Oh, yeah.
What better reason to cheers.
Thanks for coming, Tara.
Exactly, you're welcome.
And those little foam hats are for your kiddos.
The people, the kids in our office that our family, you know, the people that work for me or work for us and their kids love these little foam hats.
You can make them look like little cowboy hats.
The stress balls are good
Yeah, I love this
Mine were arguing over them the other day
Yeah
Yeah so did you love all the coosies?
Oh yeah
I sent you so many coosies on purpose
Dan loves coosies are great
I am that guy
So overused
You know we do have
You guys have sponsored some football watching parties in the past
And you sent a little gift pack
And a nice little note
I appreciated that
But we just, we're still giving out the Yoke Hero socks.
We had two people wearing them last week at our game.
Good.
Yeah.
Do you take those back and wash them or do they, are you allowing them to go home with those socks?
They go home with those socks.
Then I, oh, then I'll get you some more socks.
Okay.
Yeah.
So it's great.
Yeah.
Good.
And she'll be a party all's trip to Denver, too.
You're going with us?
Or just Yoke-Iero is sponsoring.
I'm going to hide in the, hide in the cooler.
No, we're sponsoring.
We're taking an RV if you want to come.
Right. What happens in Denver.
Yeah, we have to say that my buddy Jeremy from Texas Trident was a little upset with me that I won that.
It was a sponsor off.
It was a sponsor off because Jeremy is a huge Denver Broncos fan.
He's supporting.
He is. He's actually supporting. He is. He's going to participate in that as well.
But he sent me a text literally after we got that finalized and he was a little pissed off.
Boy, we need a bidding more.
Yeah.
Right?
I like it.
Yeah.
I like it.
He went, he was, you know, ready to do an arm wrestle or a thumb rustle.
And you know Jeremy's size.
And I was like, no, thank you.
I'm good.
I still kicked your ass and I won, so.
I love it.
Yeah.
Guacamole queen.
Yes.
Queen of the trip.
And you got a new slogan out of today.
I did.
What was that?
Don't, what was it?
If I don't have guac.
What was it?
Uh, you know, who, I don't know.
Do we?
My ringtone.
Nations have been conquered on the strength of warriors fueled by guacamole since the beginning of time.
There is an old Aztec saying, do not fuck with me when I'm off the guac.
This is because the avocado is packed with nutrient-dense ingredients, which are rich in healthy mono-unsaturated fats, fiber, and vitamins.
It's right there.
Yeah, that's it.
Don't F with me.
That's it.
That needs to be on the side of the RV as it's traveling to Denver.
We could get that done.
Yeah, there you go.
I love it.
Yeah.
Well, thank you, Tara.
Thank you, you, Guy.
Thank you guys for having me.
Thank you, Guacamole.
Thank you for relaxing the trade restrictions in the 1930s.
That was big.
Yeah.
Happy Guacamole Day.
All right.
Adios, Mofo.
We got to go before this becomes a zoo.
