yo yo son come on. Yo, Omar's coming, man. Oh, s***. Don't you always think of that when you think of Baltimore? Me? You're not a wire guy? I watched the first season.

It was good. No King of Queens? I mean, obviously not. Obvious to who? Me? Okay. Not history. No.

Definitely not. I don't think the King of Queens has made very many Rolling Stones top anything. Where the wire routinely is. I don't think the King of Queens has made very many Rolling Stones top anything. Where the wire routinely is. Yeah, but Kevin James is still alive. Omar's not. Hey. But that's in the game.

The game Kevin James chose to play was one where he didn't do heroin and stuff. And robbed drug dealers with a shotgun. I just meant even off the screen. Didn't Michael K. Williams die of drugs and stuff? Things? He died twice. Method acting. After he jumped out the window?

How many times have you seen it just once? I went back and did a rewatch with the Alan Sepinwall, great TV reviewer over the years. But he did a rewatch and then would write a review after over the years. But he did a rewatch and then would write a review after each rewatch. And so it was only,

reading this review was only for those who were rewatching along with him. So that he would rewatch something, he would rewatch, like it would spoil it if Blake watched it because he's never seen the series. He would not like it because he would watch episode one and go, oh my, see that guy, so-and-so? He's going to come back in episode four and kill, like, it's really cool.

That's interesting because back in the day when, I don't know, television series were maybe more relevant than they are now, and newer, like that, cable stuff, I used to read his recaps on basically everything. That's a unique concept to review something you've already seen. When did he do that? It was only a few years after The Wire wrapped up, but it was great. Anyway, I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Blake Jones. And along with us is star Danny Bayless.

He needs to be introduced. And we are broadcasting today on a Cowboy Monday, a somber Cowboy Monday. You can hear it in our voices. on a Cowboy Monday, a somber Cowboy Monday. You can hear it in our voices. Another punch in the mouth yesterday, and the Cowboys didn't take it well. And we are broadcasting from high atop my garage. But still doing the vid because you can see us tonight on DZTV on Channel 27.

But we are not at our Fox Studios downtown Dallas. We are high atop my garage. We're here at the behest of a sit-in who I believe scheduled this some time ago. He is Andy. Last name? Kidsis. Kidsis. What do you think of that last name, Danny?

Kidsis? Sounds Greek. Lithuanian. Lithuanian. Oh, wow. Okay. See, I wonder. I have a good friend that's Lithuanian.

Mike Saroy. Is that right? Yeah. I was just thinking, like, people used to be named for what they did. Like, you know, if your last name is Baker, there's a good chance someone way back in your lineage, right, was a Baker. Yeah, that's what they did. That's what legend tells us. How would you just name people?

I guess Bayless would mean I come from a lineage of people that avoided field work. I'm not bailing that hay. Bayless. Bayless. You're not going to bail. Bayless. I'll be playing Call of Duty 1 in the barn. But I was wondering if your grandfather worked for Kids R Us.

No, but that is how I tell people to pronounce it. Oh, really? Yep. Or maybe your grandfather was quite a prankster. And they would say, he's not serious. He kids us. Could be. Never really met my grandfather.

Oh. Okay. Sorry about that. There's a pear trap. Well, I never met my father, so here. I just trumped you on that one. Hey! So we're high top my garage, so my dogs are here.

The sit-in was actually rescheduled. Yeah, weren't we supposed to be in Aledo today? Is that what was rescheduled? We were supposed to be in Aledo like, what, two months ago? Yeah, July. Andy hit me up, I can't remember, on like a Saturday or Sunday and said, hey, are we

still good for Monday? And I was like, oops. Oh, really? Blake. Yeah. Blake can have one or two. He's had one or two lost shows. I owe Andy a lot.

And I think one or two. Is that why we got him Eatsies and Lone Star beer today? Yeah, I think so. Now, the Lone Star is left over from the party yesterday. The Eatsies, I think you bought it fresh this morning, or is that also left over? No. It's been sitting out for 24 hours.

Okay. No, I got it fresh on the way in. Okay. Now, did you buy it? We brewed the Lone Star this morning. You said he bought the Eatsies. Oh, yeah. I'll challenge that.

Oh, no. Take a look. What do you think happened? What do you think? He just has a magic wand? He waves at Eatsies? No, I have a feeling that there was some sort of voucher or wink and a nod exchanged.

If that's how it works, Adam hasn't told me yet because I would love to be able to do that. But no, we still... I will tell you this. When we were at the ticket, we had these cool discount cards that you could go to Eatsies and save sometimes 40, 50% of certain items. Mine stopped working when I quit. Oh, yours got turned off.

Yes. Well, maybe we can get you back in that game. That was embarrassing for when you're going there to pick up like $200 worth of holiday food. It's like, shoot. Okay. Yeah, Andy had scheduled that one out in April as I'm looking at our emails. It does take a while to schedule these, though, doesn't it? The guy we had in here Friday was scheduled out quite some time ago.

Yeah. And you wanted us in Aledo, but then you decided, hey, I'll just go here instead. Yeah, originally you guys were my buffer day Monday after a family vacation. Come back. Damn it. Have you guys at the house. Have a party. Sunday, I reach out to Blake.

Hadn't heard anything. Like, we still on? Get the response. Oh, no. thing like we still on get the response oh uh okay no sorry so i'm shooting off text uh buddies and brothers and brother-in-laws and uh blake screwed it up you know blake's got a lot of why you're here today is what i'm saying we were supposed to go to alito today yeah a lot of the people that were gonna come over you know they got busy work whatever couldn't swing it. So I was like, you know what? I want to go to the den anyway, so we'll just keep it easy.

Okay, well, I'll tell you what. We want you to go to the den too instead of us going to Aledo. Well, he does. You guys were just out there, right? So I was like, you probably don't mind at all. Yeah, we were just out there Friday. A lovely drive. I think the drive to Aledo was only about five minutes more than it was to here.

So it made no difference to me. Yeah, yeah. And I haven't spent a lot of time in Aledo, so I five minutes more than it was to here. So it made no difference to me. I haven't spent a lot of time in Aledo, so I was kind of sad. Well, the whole show kind of goes off of my attitude. That's a good point. I feel like we're going to be upbeat today, yet with a somber crust.

A somber covering because of the Cowboy Monday. And we'll get to Cowboys. For sure, we got a lot of stuff, man. A lot of audio from the game, a lot of audio from the postgame. Things aren't going well. It doesn't seem that things are going well for the Cowboys. But first, how about a nice weekend check,

and how about a nice sponsor with that? It is ProSlat, because ProSlat, let's see, they'll be part of our weekend check next week, too. Isn't it this Saturday we're going to ProSlat? The grand opening? Does anyone know? Oh, wow, we are. Danny doesn't even know? I thought you said you'd be there. Yeah, I'll be there. Oh, wow, we are. Danny doesn't even know?

I thought you said you'd be there. Yeah, I'll be there. Richardson, 11 o'clock. That is right. Food trucks, drinks, great deals. It's going to be kind of a football pop-up show. Where we've got a big

college football slate. I don't know. Right? There's probably good teams playing each other. Name one matchup that's coming up this Saturday. It's slate. I don't know, right? There's probably good teams playing each other. Name one matchup that's coming up this Saturday. It's unbelievable. I don't even want to focus on one. That wouldn't be fair to all the other ones. It's an impressive college football slat. Ah, there you go.

Pro slat. Yeah, so what they do is they will redesign your garage. They have redesigned our downtown Dallas studio, and they give us one of those walls where you can just hang stuff on it real easy. They will help you not just redesign, I guess organize. If you have a two-car garage, but you can barely fit one in it. Or none, in some cases. ProSlat is for you it's amazing don't think that pro slats garage

refurb is just them coming in and hanging pegboard with the little hooks the stuff that they put on your walls i'd be happy to have it in my house like i've i want to talk to them about hey could you like make the wall behind my TV pro-slat? I'm sure they would. It looks that good. Right, Dan? I don't know. What I do know is everything they use is made right here in America.

They have personalized service, not just another website. You can get advice on what to do and how to do it. But you've got to go see it. It'll be very impressive. And we will be there Saturday. Richardson. Which is closer to your house than this.

Than where we are today. Yeah, for sure. And Aledo. So, if you are in that area, 511 Central Expressway, Richardson. Or something. No, 102. Search ProSlat. Go to ProSlat.com.

Go to ProSlat.com and their events page. Or you can even go to DumbZone.com, our events page. The first one up there is going to be ProSlat on Saturday. So join us out there Saturday.

So go to proslat.com and you can sign up for the VIP event on Friday night or excuse me, Friday Friday afternoon or just go see us Saturday afternoon.

Was that clear at all? Anything I said? I don't think it was. I think we came up with a unique Pro Slat tagline that only you can use. What is that? Pro Slat. I don't know. Yeah, no.

Pro Slat, yeah, no. But. It's a good thing we're friends with ProSlat. So like I said, next weekend, that'll be our weekend check. My real quick hit on the weekend check is just going to be based on our party yesterday. I thought the party was great. We had our first ever, or first for this year, Cowboys stream. We did it right here, high atop my garage.

Right where you're sitting, Andy. That's where, who was on the couch yesterday? Ty. Jimmy. Ty was right there. Ty was in your seat. Oh, he was? That's why it stinks.

Yeah, Jimmy Nelson, our comedian friend, was sitting over there. that's why it stinks yeah Jimmy Nelson our comedian friend was sitting over there Adam Romo was here as well and my advice for party throwers because we did a few of these last year

and we progressively have more and more people here and it all culminated with the Super Bowl. And I learned something after the Cowboy playoff game or maybe it was after we saw Baker versus Dan Campbell. I can't remember which one. But when you're having a party and you've got your Lone Star beer

and you've got your Eatsies and you've got plenty of stuff and food and everything. And then you throw things away at the end of the party. And then you take out like because I had bought. So I learned this during the cowboy game. We were throwing stuff away in my regular garbage bags here. stuff away in my regular garbage bags here, and then it would still drip and leak out through the bottom onto the lovely carpet here that I try to keep clean.

That's why everybody takes their shoes off coming up here. Does that bother you, Andy? Not at all. That's how I grew up. My mom was a stickler for that. All right. There you go. Have her call me. She's still with us, right?

Yeah, she is. She's making sure. She's still with us, right? Yeah, she is. She's making sure. She's still with us. Running into a granddad scenario again. So, okay, so that was during the Cowboy playoff game. I finally, I'm learning that.

And then, so for the Baker playoff game, I was like, oh man, I bought the, what is it called? It was like the industrial garbage bags. It was the hefty, ultra strong, 30G, multi-purpose, fabuloso scent with six in one protection. I'm like going above and beyond.

I'm buying the... These are the greatest garbage bags ever according to the label. And then we had our party and I packed everything up and then everything leaked all over the place. So, I made a move.

First time I used it was during the Super Bowl. Used it last night again and I can't tell you what a great idea this is by me. Great, great thoughts I had. I can hardly wait. It is the industrial strength garbage bags that they use at construction sites. Go ahead.

You're going to have to pay a few bucks more for that, baby. But it's worth it. Oh, my God. It's like a million gallons. It's huge. And like you throw nails in there and the nails don't poke holes this is what dexter would use blake that's what you yeah i heard you say that last night yeah to uh to dismember a body and then uh wrap it up in there so that nothing will seep out.

So, if you're throwing a party or committing a murder, we heard a neighbor the other day. It was at night and we were walking the dogs, me and the wife. And they had a chainsaw out in their backyard. And these are like,

these are sketchy neighbors. And she said, I think they're dismembering a body. It was the night before garbage day. Then the next day, they had like three or four black garbage bags out. And I wondered,

is that a way that you could, Like, Dexter drove out into the middle of the ocean or whatever and then dropped... He put it in the jet stream so it carried out to the ocean. Like, but could you just put it in the garbage? Why not just put it in the garbage?

I think somebody would find it. Not with these industrial plants, man. I swear to God, no one's gonna find that. You just have to open it. Yep. Not with these industrial parts, man. I swear to God, no one's going to find that. You just have to open it. Yeah, but... Why would they? It would stink.

Yeah, it's going to stink, the decomposition. You're going to smell that within 12 hours. Lime? Is that what they did in Goodfellas? Lye?

Lye? Is it lye? You sprinkle lye, they say get the lime. Lime goes in a margarita. Oh. What about lime away? There you go.

Yeah. Spray that on them. But the trash man's going to know. Yeah. It'd stink. Okay. Don't hide your bodies in a garbage bag. Yeah, next to your Cowboys watching party trash.

You need a body hiding sponsor. You got a freaking lake right across the street. Yeah, but you get a drought, that thing goes down to the bottom. You can walk across it. You've seen that happen? Oh, yeah. Are you serious? Yeah, we walk across

not the middle of the lake, but the edges, yeah. Wow. How deep is the lake at its the edges. Yeah, they'll... Wow. You know. How deep is the lake at its deepest point? I don't know. I've never been in it. Don't care. You just walked across it.

It's gross. That's what my thought is on Grapevine Lake. You don't want to swim in it. Anyway, you got anything? Nobody wants to hear stories about having your kid all weekend, but that's what I did. Went to Home Depot. He loves Home Depot.

Do you have your kid every weekend? His mom was out of town from Friday till last night. So, no, typically not. We split up. We shared every other weekend or half the weekend. But, no, I had him from Friday morning until 6 last night. That's why I was unable to not only be

at the Friday dumb zone, but also last night's cowboy watching event. Shamefully. Sadly. Why don't you just bring your kid? Blake did. You brought your kid last night? Yeah. Really? Yeah, I've met your kid. He is what Yeah. You brought your kid last night? Yeah. Really? Yeah.

I've met your kid. He is what I would like to call chill and well-behaved. What would you call yours? A freaking Tasmanian devil. Dude, my wife loves your kid. How can you not? She's like, he's so mature. She's like, he's a little adult.

She's like, he's two and he's potty trained. She goes, most boys don't get potty trained until they're four. Yeah, Malcolm's three and a half, and he is potty trained for number one. But for number two, he asks me to put a diaper on him so he can crap in his diaper. And I've come up with so many incentives. I'm like, dude, if you, the first time you manure in his diaper. And I've come up with so many incentives. I'm like, dude, if you the first time you manure in the toilet. What, do you want a diaper?

Just all the walking over to the bathroom. What if I just could sit here? Yeah, but you wouldn't get your steps. Yeah, that's true. But yeah, he won't do number two in the toilet. I've offered him everything, like treats and hot wheels and all the things that he loves. Can you bring me my NFL hat?

Nothing. I'm tired. No, I don't want to. I don't have to. I'm going in the diaper. I want to wear this hat. All right, fine. It's football Monday.

So, yeah. I can't believe your kid's fully potty trained, and he's what, almost three? He'll be three next month. That's crazy. Let me bring it back down to earth. Jake rules with, or Blake rules with an iron fist. I just think the kids end up taking on the personalities of their parents. Blake and Hannah seem pretty laid back.

Blake is for sure. I told you guys about how I put Brooks in gymnastics. It was more of a, you know, let's establish coordination. Let's learn how to fall. Like Tua. Yeah, let's see coordination. Let's learn how to fall. And then some of it. Like Tua. Yeah, let's see how. Had to learn how to fall.

See how that's going. And another part of it is just I want you in a class. I want another adult telling you what to do. You know, I need you to be in some sort of structure. You know, he does well at school, but I thought this could be something cool we do on saturday mornings and you know dan i think you know how i operate like i never want to stick out in a crowd and the kid makes it extremely hard to do that like i just want to be off to the side i don't want any attention on me but then when you introduce a kid to a scenario, now you're like, I don't want to yell at him or anything.

But I don't want him to be affecting anyone else in the room. So that's kind of been a learning curve. And I still, I don't ever want to be that guy. But Saturday in our gymnastics class, I had to take Brooks out of the class and go home early. And I was thinking if I was someone else in that class i would think oh man that guy what's he got going on but he's like not listening in the class to where like if everyone is doing their trampoline jumps and all that like he's not on the trampoline he's just sitting there like all pissy it's like okay well why are we paying for this class if you don't want to go and so then they go do something

else and he's not he's not doing that either and then he's like interrupting the flow and so uh just like okay let's just go and so i picked him up he's crying and screaming and then we just left and i thought like i would hate i hate watching myself be that guy in the class but i just thought he was interrupting everything and so that was a big deal saturday morning and i was just curious am i i feel like you're doing a positive thing for the rest of the class then that's what that's how i viewed it but then i've shown him because someone else might say well i'm paying for this class. You're going to be here. Yeah, and some other parents do, where they're just like, you know, they're a kid.

Right. And they're right. He is just a kid. But it does mess up everybody else's bit. Sure. But I didn't quite know how to process that. And you're able to take him out. It's kind of like if somebody has a crying kid or something at a movie and they don't take them out, you're pretty mad at them.

If somebody has a crying kid on a plane, and this changed for me once I had kids. Because I used to think, I hate those parents. What are they doing? And now I just feel sorry for them. Like, what are you going to do? Sometimes your kid won't stop. I think you made the right choice because it had the potential to affect the other's experience. Like Dan said, a movie.

If you're at a grocery store, let them melt down. Really? Yeah, 100%. Just let them melt down. And just ignore it yeah because i mean obviously that's the big thing of becoming a parent is you're you're no longer operating with like just yourself in a situation there's the kid and there's everyone else around you and i thought i hate how much he's making a scene well that's so let me just remove myself and him from the scene he's what he's doing it's

it's triggering something with you it's about you it's not necessarily about him i don't want to rub off on hit like if he's having i don't know i i'm no longer like the sole scene here so i have to keep him in mind as well as others so i don't know it was just a weird i didn't know. It was just a weird, I didn't know quite how to process it. I thought I came away as like that angry dad. But I don't know. Strange. Like I said, I think if he's compromising a group, you know, their experience, then I think he probably did the right thing by taking him out of that scene. And often a change of scenery or different setting will, you know,

snap him back into wherever you need them to be but yeah man they're kids and they're gonna melt down and they're gonna lose it and i find myself fighting all the time especially in public situations i feel my anxiety happen and i realize that's it's not about him this is something that i need to address why why is this affecting me it shouldn't right but it does because probably something was handled in a difficult way when i was acting out when i was a kid i was probably yelled at or told to shut up or you know there was a lot of anger or or hostility involved in that and that's what is coming up is that old crap that uh you experienced when you

were younger. Maybe not in every case, but I think in a lot of times it's, it's usually about you and not them, especially when they're that young. Yeah. They can't control that. It's been interesting to,

you know, go through certain things with him and realize like how much of the situation, how I'm handling it is just because of me. Yeah. Like we're always like focused on him, but it's funny how much it reflects on you and like how you feel about it it's just because of me yeah like we're always like focused on him but it's funny how much it reflects on you and like how you feel about because yeah in the situation i feel like man everyone's looking at us i would hate me if i was them just yeah so i

was just like let's just go let's just get out of it do you even remember being a parent to a three-year-old dan of course what was it like for for your girls i mean it's good times a long time ago were they always pretty easy to deal with or have they always been like they are now uh no and i would be told by some people hey if you have boys man it's a lot worse you know no matter what they were doing um but no i i loved it I think it was a great time. Like I... I don't know if I'm envious, but I would do it again type thing. I understand why dudes get the younger wife

and roll through it again. It's not just for that younger wife. I think, maybe. I don't know. I had a lot of fun. It was great. When you love to see Dan as a dad again. Yes. It's like the best you love to see Dan as a dad again. Yes.

It's like the best 10-year period of my life, between like 2 and 12 or whatever. It's great. It's very rewarding, guys, to be a parent. You do learn a lot about yourself, as Blake was saying. Let's get to it. From the wonderful world of sports. Sports.

Radio sports. Scoreboard. Oh, yeah. I like that. We must discuss the Dallas Cowboys game. Do we have to? Yeah. I think we do.

It's kind of our thing. Blake cares. Every Monday, we will live stream to talk cowboys on a Cowboy Monday. And man, that's three straight home games where they look exactly the same. Like it just starts exactly the same. And

I don't know. If you don't think there's lots of trouble right now then I don't know what to say because you know when the playoff thing was the playoff thing it's the playoffs all that kind of stuff. And then New Orleans, that was, hey, we weren't really prepared. We might have been looking ahead to Baltimore. We got to all look in the mirror, all that kind of things. But there was no doubt. You knew what was coming.

You knew the style of play they were going to have. There was no trick. There was no something happened on last night's game that, oh my gosh, we didn't expect that. They never showed that on film. It was exactly the way Baltimore always plays. They did the exact thing that they had done the week before and the week before. That's how they try to play. And the year before and the year before, I mean, Harbaugh was hired the same, I don't remember if it was the day, but certainly the same offseason as Jason Garrett. That's how long Harbaugh's been their coach.

You know exactly what they're going to do. And you still, you couldn't stop it. You got punched in the mouth early and then all of a sudden you, you know, you found yourself't stop it. You got punched in the mouth early, and then all of a sudden you found yourself way behind again. And I am not taking any good feelings, unlike the way the Cowboys tried to spin it after the game. I don't feel like, oh, well, but they fought back, and they came within three.

That game was so much farther than that. It was 28-6. Yes, and we were talking during the stream about what's Harbaugh doing? They had a fourth and one at the Cowboys 45-yard line.

And that is a go for it. This year's NFL, where we are in 2024, you absolutely go for it. Yet they didn't. They punted. They flipped the field. So they took the delay of game?

Yeah. Yeah. And that was after a third of one didn't get the first down. But fourth of one, you got Lamar. You got Derrick Henry. Run a sneak. Do something. You got Derrick Henry.

Run a sneak. Do something. In fact, I'd love to see somebody do the delay of game, like obvious posture, you know, because there's 15 seconds in there. And then they kind of stand. I thought that was what was going to happen. I'd love to see somebody at some point. In the final second of the play clock. Yeah, two seconds.

All right, I'm going to snap and run. Yeah. Like, you're going to get it. Every time. Like, let's get it. That could be a new trick play. But they didn't because that's Harbaugh. And the reason the Cowboys were able to come back late, that's Harbaugh.

Take a look at how conservative they get. They change. As the game goes, they end up coughing up a lot of big leads. That's what Baltimore does. And I truly believe if Harbaugh was a little different, if he was a little more aggressive, the fourth and one on a 45, then they might have been able to really put that game away earlier. I'm interested.

I didn't listen to any post-game stuff. I was smoked after that game away earlier. I'm interested. I didn't listen to any post-game stuff. I was smoked after that game. I'm interested to hear how they tried to spin it because it's week three. I understand you can try to find some silver linings after the Saints game, but there are none after yesterday. There's nothing you can look at at yesterday's game

and say, yeah, but. To give you any type of hope that their personnel is going to change. That they're going to improve. And it's week three. And when you start seeing the body language. And I kind of hate using that term. I think people may read too much into it. But when you see Micah Parsons just kind of like looking around

like wishing he was anywhere else but there, and Seedy arguing with yelling at his offensive line for getting holding penalties on a pass that he didn't even catch. He just got interfered with. getting holding penalties on a pass that he didn't even catch. He just got interfered with. It's just not – I suspect it's probably a not fun environment being around those guys. It's almost like they are so stunned because they themselves buy into

what this team is really about and its marketing. They believe that we're the Cowboys. We're not supposed to get trucked by the Ravens at home. We're not supposed to get bounced by the Saints at home. They can't believe it. And they have an inability to process that this is who you are. They have an inability to process that this is who you are. This is actually happening.

Because everything that the world has led to believe that we're the Cowboys, man. We got songs about us. We got this beautiful stadium. We're the highest valued franchise in the NFL. Which will never make sense. By like $2 billion. Yeah. The next highest is $8 billion. They're $10.

We got the highest paid quarterback. CD is just about the highest paid wide receiver. Mike is about to become the highest paid edge rusher. That's the goals, though. It'sher that's that's the goals though it's the vibe and those are the goals the goals are to financially uh make it yeah and anything else would be cool that trickles down right yes aren't you only as happy as your management and aren't your expectations of yourself and your team kind of a mirror image of what management gives you or shows you in most cases? I don't know.

There was a time in that game where a change, something that could have gone their way would have changed the next quarter of that game or maybe even the outcome of that game, and it looked like they were just puzzled. How are we here? How did this happen? And the bottom line is the combination of the aura, the culture of this team, the attitude of this organization, mixed with the fact that they don't have a lot of great

personnel from top to bottom. What did you expect? They have, as they often do throughout history, they have a great fantasy team. They have name value. They have big eye-popping. And Dak's stats are going to be even more eye-popping this year, especially if the defense actually does suck

because that's going to cause them to have to chuck it up and they're going to be playing from behind, and that's when you can build your stats. That's why Dak has a great-looking game yesterday, and you can say, oh, it's not Dak's fault. Take a look. Okay, we'll take a look at the beginning. Let's start at the beginning.

They win the toss. they elect to receive and i wonder what the mental residue is from this when you do that so that you can establish something we're going to get out there we're going to play with a lead we're going to to get our award-winning offense out on the field. And then that doesn't work? What does that do to you mentally? Because, hey, this is our game plan. And right away your game plan doesn't work. And it's like, uh-oh. And then they march right down the field real easily.

Five plays, six plays. And where's your, uh-oh. And then they march right down the field real easily. Five plays, six plays. And where's your head at then? Like, oh, my gosh, that's the exact opposite of everything we hoped. I mean, even more than opposite because they get the ball in the second half. Didn't you just feel those two sequences? Dallas starting on offense and doing nothing and looking pretty average at it, and then Baltimore doing what they did with such ease,

didn't you, in the pit of your stomach, you just kind of felt, well, this game is over? Yep. Yeah, when it's 14-3. Hell, when it was 7-0, you just kind of saw the writing already. I mean, that first drive, they had two false starts on the first drive. Two false starts. They're at home.

This isn't a loud road environment. Not to mention they had a pretty great kickoff return that got called back to start the game. The game started with a penalty. Yeah, they were gifted an automatic first down on that drive. Yeah, they were gifted an automatic first down on that drive. Rico Dowdle looked okay early. He's a great third back on another team.

He is. He's definitely a great second back, changeup back. He'd be a third back on Baltimore. That's for damn sure. Yeah, that set the tone. Like offensively. And then, yeah, defensively. I don't even know what to say there.

Well, let's stick with the offense for a minute. What are you guys thinking of C.D. Lamb right now? This is now we go into body language. I think he's great. But if you're going to start yelling at your offensive lineman or whatever you're doing, you can't be doing that in the same game that you fumble in the red zone like that. Yeah, drop a couple. Yeah.

In fact, you can't really be doing that ever. That's. And yeah, drop a couple. In fact, you can't really be doing that ever. That's not your place, CD. That's possibly Dak's place. And then the fact that he did not talk in the locker room? I got a problem with that. I got a problem with that if a guy

is making $30 million, just signed, you're one of the pillars of this whole franchise, you're one of the faces of the franchise, that means you got to be out there front and center and you have to be accountable. You have to to the fans. And give Mike a credit, even if he's beating when he's doing it, he's doing it.

Dak clearly understands that. Dak's kind of a robot. But there's only so much he can do with what he has. Quarterbacks all kind of know that's part of the game of being a quarterback. But, yeah, C.D. Lamb, I think he's got an answer for, you know, if he's got some mistakes in a game. You can't just come out and do the media when everybody's going to tell you how great you are.

C.D. is knocked off track right now because two games in a row, it's no secret how to take him out of a game. You're going to just let Cooks and Tolbert beat you? He doesn't have any help back there. They can either double him or put a safety over the top, and you can pretty much neutralize CeeDee Lamb for the most part. What are you going to answer with? Like I said, Cooks or Tolbert, or an established grind-out run game,

which they don't have. Yeah, I think this offense is in trouble. A dynamic quarterback? No. Dak's fine. Let's go back to our Friday discussion. I mean, if you do have Lamar Jackson, you always have a chance doing something.

Yes. Whereas... And I guess the defense forgot about that because how many times did you see linebackers or up safeties taking the bite on a fake when they should have had somebody spying him? It should have been Micah on Lamar the entire game. Yeah, I wonder. Because throughout the week they were saying Overshawn was going to be that guy.

Overshawn had said to the media earlier last week that he was going to do – his role was going to be like it was against Cleveland for Deshaun Watson. And we saw that worked well, and obviously – and he got to Watson once, maybe twice. But the point is, caused problems, always knew where he was. So I didn't take a look. Do we have a play count on Overshawn? I know that last week that was a thing of,

how come he didn't get in there a lot? I don't know what it was like yesterday, but... Yeah, again, they knew what was coming. They knew Lamar. Everything happened exactly the way Baltimore plays football. And they acted like, oh my gosh, he ran that way? Like you said, they bid on so many things. I want to know what Blake thinks because I don't watch the games probably like you do.

I know you're more invested and care about the Cowboys more than I do and watch the games differently than I do. But is any of the stuff that we're saying not close to being true? Or are you seeing something different? Because I want to know how you have any hope for 14 more of these. I think it's just frustrating because all the problems they have right now are the problems you thought they would have in the offseason. You know, we talked about that.

Like, I mean, Dan's right. You knew Baltimore was going to run the ball, so why don't you do something different? And they never did. And Lamar ran all over him. Derrick Henry ran all over him. And, I mean, that's an issue. Kamara ran all over him last week.

And just listening to Micah talk in the postgame, I kind of want to blame Zimmer because it's like, how do you not schematically plan for this? But Micah's putting it on the players. Well, he did that last week, too. At some point, you're going to have to say, hey, Micah, maybe you're not right. Yeah, that's true.

Maybe it is the scheme a little bit. Okay, maybe. But look, what Blake was saying in the beginning of that is true. We can talk about the Jerry Jones culture that he perpetuates on the entire organization. You can talk about how good or bad your coaches are, but the thing you tapped in on is the stuff that they didn't address in the offseason is now glaring on the field.

They don't have personnel. Yeah, you go back to the Green Bay game. They ran, you know, their run defense got ran all over. Okay, what did you do to address that in the offseason? Nothing. They didn't do anything. And they're not protecting CD by giving him other weapons around him. So, I mean, all of these things are frustrating, like,

because you can't really fix it. It's not a scheme thing. It's, like you said, Cooks and Tolbert, that's not good enough. Zeke and Dowdell's not good enough. So, I'm just very frustrated that this season could be, could not have any legs just after three games. Especially considering that they had options. And one of the options was on the opposite side of the field last night with Henry, who, if you believe Tom Brady, kind of wanted to come here.

Yeah, anybody. That's all anybody said is Derek Kittering wants to be a Cowboy. So if you've got an offensive line that may be kind of aging or has got a couple of young guys on there now and not super proven or established. Isn't Derrick Henry the back that you want? A guy that can basically get four yards by himself every time by just moving his legs and falling forward? But no, we bring back

the guy that got pancaked playing center the last time he put on the uniform for Dallas. Well, twice the Cowboys had an opportunity to choose Derrick Henry over Zeke. Once was in that draft because they could

have had Derrick Henry at the top of the second round. Instead, they chose Zeke with the number four overall pick. And then once was this offseason. Jerry was actually asked about that. I have a lot of Jerry audio for you today. But since we're on the Derrick Henry topic, let's go there. This was, I guess, the first. I think this is the first Derrick Henry question.

Yeah, here we go. Watching Derrick Henry do what he did, it didn't make you rethink your approach to the run game? We couldn't afford that. Because we couldn't afford it. Why not? I don't know. Why can't you buy a mansion when you live in a different kind of house?

We couldn't afford it. We can't make that all fit. It's as simple as that. That's BS. They couldn't afford them. Well. Isn't that BS, Blake? According to SpotTrack, that is an account that follows the contracts, payroll, salary cap, breakdowns, etc.

Dallas couldn't afford Derrick Henry. He ended up with a $9 million guarantee because at the time of free agency, they knew they owed Trey Lance $5.3 million guaranteed this year. That's the fourth round flyer they took on Trey Lance. That Jerry made that trade himself without consulting anyone in the organization. And he proudly will proclaim that because he pulled one over on the rest of the NFL. Yeah.

You could add Baker Mayfield for like a conditional sixth or seventh i can't remember what that was but no no no you got trey lance wait all right sweet man silly rest of the nfl who could have had trey lance as well uh also they owed they had to pay dac a five million dollar bonus in march because his negotiations were stalled, as you know. And had they done the deal in March, the deal Dak was looking for in March was the exact deal they ended up signing. They would have had a lot more salary cap room for this year. But that's something we never even think about, but it's the Cowboys. Certainly this is their MO. By dragging that out, by dragging Zeke out a few years ago, by doing this,

DeMarcus Lawrence, they did the exact same thing. They have also given themselves a built-in excuse. We can't. We want to do something in free agency. We just can't. Look at the salary cap. The pie's only so big. How many years in a row have you heard this? You got to do this, this, this. And they put themselves in that position.

So they could afford Derrick Henry. The Eagles, who have high-paid guys, same thing, receiver, quarterback, could afford Saquon Barkley. It's all play. They'd move things around. The Cowboys have traditionally been one of the lowest-spending, cash-spending teams in the NFL. And maybe that helps explain why their value is so huge.

So I don't know if it's intentional or if it's just the fact that they are inept at these contract games. Steven, perhaps, you might point at, because that's who they call the guy who runs the salary cap and does all the contracts. In fact, you've seen likearcus Lawrence or certain guys. Once I bypassed Steven and went to Jerry, then we got it done. Okay, well.

And you don't do that until the season's about to start, and then you're way past it anyway. So they could afford it, but they couldn't afford it because of their own actions, whether intentional or just that that's just the way they run things and that's the way it ended up. So at the time, they couldn't afford it. I don't even think it's true. And you don't even think that's true? They've got $25 million in cap space.

They're the 28th. Well, they restructured Dak, though. Once they redid Dak, that... Yeah, this is what this $44 million cap hit. But the problem is, kind of like you said, Trey Lance is your 10th highest paid cowboy right now. So Trey Lance... Cooper Rush is the 17th.

So three of your top 17 are quarterbacks. Trey Lance not only cost you that 5.3 million but the fourth rounder that you could have had uh who's that Jets new running back that everybody loves Braylon Allen yeah yeah like he's pushing Brees Hall who is a fantasy darling because number one or number two pick in everybody's fantasy draft, or at least running back. And that guy looks like he's as good as Brees Hall. You could have had Brees Hall in the fourth round is what I'm saying. Or Trey Lance.

This year. Yeah. But Jerry's bragging about how, hey, man, I didn't have to talk to anybody. I mean, I take risks. Okay. And that's where it gets you. Where take risks. Okay. And that's where it gets you. Where they are right now. And that's why it's frustrating because we've heard Jake say

this a lot because Steven has said this a lot. They've won the... They're tied for the most wins in the last three years. And that's largely based because they draft incredibly well. But they are just content with being that 12-win team a season because they're not willing to spend extra to make them better. They do draft well.

But you also have to understand, it's not always guaranteed. They draft high pretty well. You know, CD, Micah, they've been good picks. But it's not always guaranteed. And they're kind of counting on it to be guaranteed

when they let a lot of their depth walk. So when you end up losing you know, defensive linemen, you lose Neville Gallimore, Dorrance Armstrong, Dante Fowler to some degree. Yeah, you expect... defensive linemen. You lose Neville Gallimore. Dorrance Armstrong. Dante Fowler to some degree. Yeah, you expect... Jonathan Hankins. Now, those are not household names or anything,

but they're a pretty solid depth that you keep losing those guys, and you just say, well, but we're a draft and develop team. Oh, okay. I guess if it works, it's great. But you can't count on that.

It's almost like they overcompensate for NFL trends. For example, in the last 10 years, the big buzzy thing to say about NFL running backs is don't draft them high.

Don't give them long-term contracts. Don't spend any money. You can win. You can be a winning football team with a running back by committee situation. And Jerry's like, yeah, I can win with a tiny person, Pancake, Zeke, Center, and Rico. And then to the other side of it, Jerry used to be the guy that would hang on to legacy players

and pay them longer than he needed to when they were beyond their ability to perform as they once had. But now he's just letting people go without replacing them with something at least adequate and cheaper. Like, is this Dak's fault? What, because of what they're paying you? Dak's salary? Yeah.

You're paying Dak more you can't pay these other guys. I don't know. Is it on Dak? You know, I didn't even mention the Trey Lance trade. Probably had something to do with Dak, too, and his looming contract. Of course. Hey, what if I get Trey Lance? Leverage.

Yeah. And how did that leverage work out for him? Especially when Trey Lance actually sucks. He's terrible. So the point is, that doesn't create a lot of leverage if there's no threat that Trey Lance could be the next thing what if that was why they brought him in here is for leverage that's a that's a part of it that's definitely a part of it there's no doubt he knows dax contract was up why did they

let they don't let a contract uh go up like that you never let a guy almost enter his free agent season not a quarterback but they're playing a little hardball. And again, that's trickle down too. It's all trickle down because that's the way, you know, ultimately that they do treat their players. And they end up, you know, the players have seen the blueprint. Zeke held out two years in advance of his contract being up because Zeke saw

Dak's first contract renegotiation. He saw Dak was looming. He saw a bunch of other players looming. Maybe that was DeMarcus Lawrence era as well. I can't recall. The point is they should have just told Zeke, you sit out

the whole year if you want. But they had this dream, oh man, but we could be a Super Bowl team with Zeke. Get the band back together. Yeah. No, I'm just talking the first time when Zeke did his contract. The time he held out.

And they ended up caving on that. And that's the blueprint for how to deal with the Cowboys management. They will cave because they do have this belief that you know because they've built things on just the superstar tent poles that uh you know you are that important to this thing that if we're if you're gone this isn't going to happen so cd he knew i'll just wait. And guess what? C.D. ended up getting the same contract that his agent wanted when he first held out. And the Cowboys said, no, we can't pay that.

The pie is only so big. Well, and eventually they were like, well, we have to pay it. We found more pie. But we need C.D. Lamb. So there's no way we're not going to pay it. Because this season is dead if we don't have C.D. Lamb, and I think we're seeing that now, pouting on the sideline or not.

He's still great. I think he had one catch for nine yards in the second half. Let me do something for one minute. What is this? What is this? What is that? That sounds like the pour of maybe a beer

that's been brewed for 140 years. What is this? What does this sound like? Irish. Does it sound like Irish music? Does it sound like

royalty-free Texas music? Give me give me Texas music. Okay. Does he understand what we're doing? No. I don't think anybody does, Dan.

We're here to talk about Lone Star Beer. Hold up your beers, guys. Yeah, that sounds like one of these. There you go. How's that treating you on a Monday afternoon? It is afternoon now, I guess. Yeah, okay. How's that treating you on a Monday afternoon? It is afternoon now, I guess. Pop this before noon. Oh my gosh. Yes, you did. That's alright.

It's noon somewhere, bruh. What's up? I think that's the Lone Star slogan. It's noon somewhere, bruh. Anyway. Where would we have been yesterday without Lone Star? Sober. I mean, just watching that debacle, I needed a couple red cans in front of me. Now, I had a blue can.

I only had one beer yesterday because you don't want overconsumption. No. Of your Lone Star beer. Of course not. So I had a little undercons under consumption perhaps yesterday. You had the blue can, the light? Yeah. Love it. So good. Look how good I look too.

The pounds are literally melting away, Dan. Yeah, so thanks to Lone Star beer for hooking us up. The den up here high atop my garage is full of Lone Star beer still. And will be for all our cowboy streams. And we're

happy to be in a partnership of sorts with Lone Star Beer. And Lone Star Light. The national beer of Texas. Alright. I enjoyed your royalty free Texas music.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a big thing when you're on the TV. It's kind of a Texican flavor to it with the accordion in there, man. When you're on the TV, the TV people will be like, like even our theme song, they're like, can you get a signed waiver that you're allowed to play that on TV? Like, oh, okay.

Was that tough to, did you have to twist Caitlin's arm on that one? Like, hey, we want to use your song on TV. Yeah. Just sign this. Did you add some other stuff in there? I had some big words, yeah. No, I'm just saying,

she also signed away like 10% of her feature earnings when Kalen hits it big. Did you draw up a contract for her? No, just... An email? Can we use your song, please? And she clicked the AI-generated response. Yes, of course.

Boing. Yeah. Want to hear some Jerry? Yes. Yeah, was he happy? We never really talked, but what order do you want to go in on all these? We can work backwards. I've got a whole thing. You got stuff from the game? Yeah. Okay, we'll do

Brady audio after the break, how about? Love it. Yeah, I've got some post-game stuff too. But this is Jerry post-game, of course. This is him in the media scrum as he walks down in the bowels outside the locker room, a bunch of media around. And he is trying to kick it positive here. They can take some of what they showed out at the end of that game and we can go forward with that.

That's at least some taste to end up in your mouth. We're sad, obviously, for our fans that we've lost two in a row here at home. But if things work like you'd like to have them, they can take some of what we had at the end there and bottle it up and go forward with it. There you go. Kind of good fourth quarter. Make the other team play like they have a three-possession lead.

As long as you trick all the other teams to playing like they're going to win. Right. Sure. What else is he supposed to say? Not to defend him, but here we're having fun. Jerry, that's three losses in a row now at home. How concerned are you about that, that the home field advantage doesn't seem to be what it was?

Well, I'm not going to close the stadium, if you're asking me that at all. So I'm not going to close the stadium. That's fun. But seriously... Oh, hold on. But seriously... But seriously, those hurt. Those. But seriously. But seriously. Those hurt.

Those really hurt. I hate it. I'm so proud of every fan and every seat. What? I'm so proud of every fan and every seat. For what? Just proud. Just proud that they're our fan.

It's kind of like when you tell your kid you're proud of them. They're like, why? Oh, because you're good. This next cut is the cry of the loser. You will not really hear this in winning locker rooms. But there was one part of what we had happen to us out there today and that's show what's in it. It takes a lot of stuff

after going all day long, playing the way we were playing, shooting ourselves in the foot, them making some big plays. It takes something to come back and give that kind of effort at the end. I'm going to hang my hat on that. I hope our fans will. Effort! We of effort at the end. I'm going to hang my hat on that. I hope our fans will.

Great. Effort! We fought hard until the end. We played four whole quarters. We did not give up. What did he say at the beginning? It takes a lot of stuff. But there was one part of what we had happen to us out there today,

and that's show what's in it. It takes a lot of stuff. What do you mean it takes a lot of stuff? It takes a lot of stuff. What do you mean it takes a lot of stuff? It takes a lot of stuff after going all day long. After going all day long. He just sounds like your hardcore Monday morning cowboy fan that refuses to believe that they're going to be bad this year. Just trying to find the silver lining.

But that's always the cry of the loser. You just don't hear how the winning team played hard for four quarters because, well, I don't care if you did or not. All we want in the cry of the loser. You just don't hear how the winning team played hard for four quarters because, well, I don't care if you did or not. All we want in the end is the win. So don't tell us how they played hard. Don't tell us. I hate to sound like my dad or whatever, but don't tell us that you're making $30 million

and I have to now applaud you because you actually didn't give up at the end of the game. Oh, that's great. I didn't realize. That's great. That's awesome. I'm so glad that you actually kept playing the whole game. Lamar, I mean, he played hard for about two and a half quarters.

That's right. Because he didn't have to play the whole game. Right. He destroyed you. You know when he played in the second half when he really't have to play the whole game. Right. He destroyed you. You know when he played in the second half when he really needed to to close the door? It was on basically their final play where he got the first down by himself

because he needed to. It's like, all right. Yeah, if we don't get the first down here, they're going to get the ball back and maybe they've got a timeout left. Maybe they can get in field goal range. With that guy, the guy can kick a 90-yarder.

Let's just end this. And he did. He didn't before because he didn't need to. Because the Cowboys are like a really pliable clay that you can just do whatever you want with them, especially yesterday. I mean,

Baltimore did whatever they wanted and when they didn't want to, they didn't have to, and they didn't. Here's Jerry sticking to his talking points. I like where we are right now. I don't like the outcome of the last two ballgames. We were disjointed out there a lot on all phases of the ball, but at the end we did something there that we can build on.

And again, you've got to think that we can play better than the way we played most of the game out there today. Got to think that. You'd like to think. You got to think it. I'd like to think that, but I don't. Here he's going to invoke, he'll shorten the word, but he'll invoke momentum.

You start playing well, and that old mo starts going the other way for the other team, and good things can happen. The last part of this game has some inspiration to it, would like to win it, but by no means is this a death knell or a coffin for what we've had happen the last two weeks here. So what I'm seeing here in his head, though, he couldn't do this last week. There was no like, oh, well, at least we got a couple good series. There was nothing you could say about the Normans. No, no, last week was the anomaly, right?

Yeah, but... But even if they had come back a little bit, we just played... It was our bad week this year. We just didn't show up. It ain't gonna happen again. Well, it happens twice

in a row at home. What else is he supposed to say? What was the – How about nothing? Yeah, nothing would be great, but, you know, he's not going to do that. He can't help himself. But he can't just go out there and go, yeah, we suck right now.

What was the theme of the offseason? Do you remember what all the reporters would ask him about? Blake, Andy? All in? All in. So let's go back to that. You talked going into the season about being all in. What does that look like?

Now, do you remember also how he kind of shifted the definition? Of course, we all thought the definition is, I'm going to get a bunch of free agents. I'm going to do this. I'm going to make a trade. I'm going to do everything possible. Yeah, he I'm going to do this. I'm going to make a trade. I'm going to do everything possible. Yeah, he changed it, right? It was kind of changed. If you recall,

it was kind of changed to, well, I mean, it means if there's something we need to do during the season, we can make some changes during the season. Do you recall that? I think it was on the bus. Whatever. Okay. I think that's

where this reporter is going. What does that look like throughout the rest of this season as far as upgrading at areas where this team struggles? Well, I love our quarterback. Highest paid guy in the NFL. He's going to drop that in there. I like our offensive line.

Frankly, I like some of the things we're doing in the defensive line. I like our offensive line. And frankly, I like some of the things we're doing in the defensive line. So I like our personnel. When I say all in on personnel, I like our personnel. I don't see personnel changes out here. Wait, I want to keep this going. But who provides the personnel? Him and his son.

Okay. So nothing wrong with what we've given the coaching staff to work with. What I've done is awesome. I love the defensive line. I love it. Hey, could you have let a couple guys walk? You could have signed. I like, no.

Everything we got is good. The players are great. So what are we thinking here? When I say all in on personnel, I like our personnel. I don't see personnel changes out here. I see everybody doing better, getting better. Those are the kinds of things I look for. What do you like about the defensive line?

I like the way that they came back out there in the last 15 minutes out there. I love that. I think that's something we should all hang around on. Wow. Okay. He keeps going back to that, and I think that's way overstated because there was so many penalties the Ravens had. They had like 12, 13 penalties for almost like 100 yards.

So it was like gifted to them. I think that a lot of it was. You're right. That's a good point. He's overstating that for sure. Yeah, kind of playing the Ravens MO of we kind of melt down at the end of these games that we should just be putting away. And the Ravens were up by 22.

They were not running anything. And you were gifted an onside kick. Yeah, I don't know. Let's stick with the defense, though, because he did say he likes the defensive line. Why? Yeah, why? Because they're – That's 15 minutes.

He said he thinks people will improve. So why? Why are you confident that the defense will improve? Because I've seen the players that are on the field do what they need to be doing to make it happen. They just need to do it more all at the same time, together. So, I get what he's trying to say. It's just funny how he said it.

So, I've seen him do it. It's kind of like I've seen this pitcher. I've seen him throw a strike. Yeah. What if he did more of those? I saw him get a, he got a batter out. He doesn't have an infinity ERA.

You just have to get him a, that's the whole point of sports, Jerry, is what makes a great player great. Because I've seen, you know, I've seen, let's not bring up Sam Darnold because he's actually maybe good now.

Give me a bad quarterback. Carson Wentz? Carson Wentz, throw a touchdown pass. Well, he just needs to do that more. Well, the point is the consistency of an athlete. That's what makes them great. Guys that do it over and over and over and all the time. Not like once out of ten times.

So, yeah, I've seen them do that. That's not a good hope. Hope is hoping that they'll just do it more squeezy, squinting, and just dreaming that they'll do it. It doesn't seem to be working. Anyway, he's got a longer answer than five seconds. To make it happen, they just need to do it more all at the same, It doesn't seem to be working. Anyway, he's got a longer answer than five seconds. To make it happen, they just need to do it more all at the same time together,

and that could come. And then again, you're playing some pretty good football players and people that we played out there today. We really did know after New Orleans last week that we couldn't have dialed one up that would challenge us anymore in defense than to play Jackson and play – So a bit of an excuse there. Look, after the way we played New Orleans, this is probably one of the toughest opponents we could have to face

because New Orleans pounded it down our throat and we know that's the way Baltimore plays. I mean, what are you going to do? Then to play Jackson and play this group. They're a Super Bowl team. They've just got to have a Super Bowl. No, they didn't.

So yes. They were also 0-2 before the game. He says they're a Super Bowl team. They just got out of the Super Bowl. No. They're kind of your East Coast mirror on the playoff success, and Lamar Jackson's been criticized for not being able to do that. So I'm not sure where – we might be sundowning here.

Play Jackson and play this group they're a super bowl team we just got out of the super bowl so my point is that uh we have all the respect in the world for them and uh they were very impressive out there for a large part of the day but i thought it'd be good i think it's good for us to come back And have the game we had in the fourth quarter Part of the third Again, the fourth quarter, man How many fourth quarter teams are there out there? The Browns

Just bad teams always say Really? That's where you put up your stats That's where you get your Because every team at the end of the year Has an NFL highlight film. Like the old 0-16 Browns. They put out a VHS.

Those were fourth quarter highlights. Everything you saw. There's an element of truth to what he is hoping for, that teams can improve throughout a season. Teams can improve throughout a season. And the difference is, usually it starts the way that it has for Baltimore, and then they start to improve.

It typically doesn't go the other way, where you start out strong and then suck, and then somehow get that curve to turn back in your favor. And especially if you see the, I don't know, just the way that team looked mentally, the facial expressions. We've mentioned Seedy and Micah's sour face through a lot of it and just kind of despondent and looking off into space half the time.

I mean, maybe they shake that and get over it and get back to work, but it's just not good. It's not a good way to start your year. That's for damn sure. And everything that Jerry says, which in typical Jerry fashion just sounds like a bunch of word soup, saying stuff that he needs to say rather than seeing the thing for what it really looks like right now.

Well, I just don't see how they're going to do anything without some improvements in personnel. I don't. seeing the thing for what it really looks like right now. Well. I just don't see how they're going to do anything without some improvements in personnel. I don't. Right, defensive line. But these are all things that were pointed out in March. I know. That looked inadequate.

Of course, wide receiver. And then running back. Running back is a pretty big one. So he gets some questions about running back. This is my last cut from Jerry. How do you get your running back by committee going? What was the total on the running back yard today? 54, 51.

51 or 61? Yeah. Double that. Double that. If they can get it up to 100, but if all of them make enough for 100, then that's progress. Make it so that they could double their production, and that'd be progress.

So you get twice as good as you are in that? Yeah. So he asked for the stats. Don't you understand? The stats for the running backs, so they totaled 61 yards. Well, if they just do twice as good as they did today, we'll be just fine. How many points did we score today? 24?

All right, double that. 48? What if we scored 48? Would we have won? Yes. That's twice as good. That's progress. Problem solved.

I've now just given the, again, you're welcome, coaching staff. First, I gave you all the players that are perfect. Now, I just kind of gave you the blueprint. Yeah, make them twice as good. I've just told you, just double the production of the running backs by the transitive property. Then that will double the scoring

and we will win the game. I gave you good players. Are you guys paying attention? I just need you to make them twice as good as they currently are. and we will win the game. I gave you good players. Are you guys paying attention? I just need you to make them twice as good as they currently are. Right. Let's go. All right, I feel better now.

I feel hopeful. Let me just play you one thing from Dak Post's game. Because I'm trying to read into this. CD was very upset on the sideline, and he gave one mocking look towards Dak's way, so I don't know if they're on good terms right now. And we've talked that Dak has lost his filter. He's saying way more this year than he ever has. And I can't tell if this is aimed at CD or somebody else.

We had someone in the den yesterday during the game said it's because he has a Latina wife. Did you catch that? And I think she's Latina, and she was saying, because they will tell you to stand up for yourself. Oh, really? That's what she was saying. Okay.

Well, let's see if there's anything here. Maybe we've got to lessen the volume. Who knows? But us as players, we've got to be more professional and understand our jobs, understand where we're supposed to be, and do that time and time again and keep our focus. So that was the tagline coming out. Dak says team needs to be more professional. Yeah, lessen the volume. And people are running with that. And, you know, for all the times we say bad question, I thought this was a really good follow-up. Where we're supposed to be and do that time and time again

and keep our focus. Dak, Todd Archer with ESPN, you said be more professional. What do you mean by that? Yeah, by knowing where you're supposed to be, knowing your reads, knowing where you're supposed to line up, knowing your routes, knowing your route adjustments versus certain coverages. Every part of what being a professional is, it's doing your job and being prepared for every part of the job, however it may come. So time away from the building to being in the building,

just being a pro and understanding that you can only get so many practice reps, but you can watch the film. You can do all these other things that will help make up for it. And we just got to be more focused and that's what to me on offense where we haven't been as focused as we should and had a lot of or a few mental errors that were crucial, I guess you could say, just the timing-wise. And to me, it just goes into being professional

and understanding what you've got to do. So he's kind of throwing some people under the bus there, not being prepared and all that. And some of that's quarterback speak. But the way that he kind of hesitates in here. You can only get so many practice reps, but you can watch the film. You can do all these other things that will help make up for it. And then time away from the building.

Is he trying to say CD's holdout has affected their chemistry so far? No, no, no. Play the rest of that, the time away from the building thing. So it was kind of weird. Part of the job professionally is it's doing your job and being prepared for every part of the job, however it may come. So time away from the building to being in the building, just being a pro and understanding that.

He's just saying take your work home with you and don't be out, you know. Yeah. Watch the film. Study your assignments. It's not just work while you're at the office. For sure. But the way he hesitated and I guess I just really glommed on to time away from the building. I don't know.

If Dak and CD are not on the same page, Dak could easily point to hey, well you weren't here for a month. And now you're throwing a tantrum. After you fumble in the red zone. Yeah, that makes sense too. That would upset me because Dak has gone through these contract negotiations. He never held out.

And I don't know. You got a Diva wide receiver who's kind of dug his own grave here. I'd probably take some shots at him too. I like the follow-up question asking for a little bit of specifics. I would have even gone one further and go, are you talking about CD? A lot of reporters do that. It sounds like you're talking about CD.

Is that true? Yeah, I think it could be both of those things. It could be some of the holdout. But clearly this is, if the Latina woman makes you stand up for yourself he's standing up for himself now because Robot Dak of the past would have just accepted all the blame and

then worked on this behind closed doors but he's now publicly saying it's not my fault folks and. And maybe he's also feeling a little of the highest paid player in the NFL pressure from the outside. Like, hey, you got to do better. You got to do this. And he's like, look, look. He didn't say these words, but he's like look look he didn't say these words but he's saying i'm not naming names but you know you got to look in the mirror and be professional he's not saying he has to look in the mirror be professional and he has to watch more film like he's kind of insinuating there he's doing all that stuff you know what and i kind of other guys who aren't here every day i

kind of believe that get get done a practice and they're gone and we don't see him again until they're here, and that's when they start thinking about football again. He may not be the best quarterback. He may not have the best skills. He may not be the most accurate. He does a lot of his passes. Brady went to some elementary school ranking system on passes yesterday,

but I'd say a lot of his passes are B minuses and C pluses that put receivers in a difficult position to have to make really good catches. But I think he does all that stuff. And if the thoughts of his peers and the things that his peers say about him, including Tom Brady, including Aaron Rodgers, the guy busts his ass, and those skilled eyeballs looking at him are like, yeah, he's doing it the right way. I believe that. I think the guy practices what he preaches for sure. So I think that's great for him to be a leader.

It's like I'm doing these things. I expect you guys to do it too. If Tom Brady said those things, you wouldn't blink. You wouldn't blink a damn bit. And I think he's probably doing a lot of the things that make great quarterbacks great. I don't necessarily think he's got the same skills. He's good. I don't think he's a Hall of Famer great.

But I think he does all of the things as far as preparation and mentally to get ready for a game and be as best as he can be. I'd bank that he does all of that stuff right. So good for him. Name names. So here's a couple from McCarthy. Because he will kind of tell you how they kind of won the game,

if you really think about it. Okay. But, you know. And he does start with an um, but you know, one of my favorite phrases. But, you know, you've got to love the fight and the effort. But, you know, our execution But our execution is, we need to be better. And when I sit up here and talk about all the work we needed to do, those are the things I'm referring to. We got a chance, we had a chance here and

they made more key plays than we did. I mean, just based off our big play production numbers at know, numbers at halftime we keep track of. It was plus eight and plus eight, but the score didn't reflect that. And, you know, I think clearly, you know, the two-point player, they got the big takeaway down there in the red area. And so, you know, we just. Okay, so do you follow that? So as far as big plays that we track.

Right with them. It was an even game at halftime. The scoreboard might have said 20 to throw away. And our secret batch of numbers that don't matter, we won. Which is misleading because every time they ran the ball, they got eight yards. Yeah, that doesn't splash. But they were always in second and third and short. You were never in third and short.

Well, our numbers are different. Yeah, that's not a 20-yard play, but that's the key to the game, to be able to run like that. Yeah, but, you know, it's kind of like what a drummer is warming up, you know, before he actually starts playing. It's the verbal version of that.

But then you say the, well, I mean, there was two point, like, because if McCarthy never went for two, you know, they, I mean, there was two point, like, because if McCarthy never went for two, you know, they would have been more advantageous at the end to try and win the game. They wouldn't have had to do the onside kick.

So he's pointing to the two point conversion, you know, misses, and the fumble in the red zone. And we'll just chalk that up as a touchdown. Which I guess we're calling it the red area now. Yeah. Brady said that a dozen times last night.

But that's a touchdown now. We're just assuming that's a touchdown. So that's kind of like the Dez caught it game. Well, we would have won that game. Well, there's plenty of football game left. Anyone that watched the game, that was not a two or three play difference game. Baltimore steamrolled them.

Right. Because Baltimore would have been playing differently at the end of that game had they not been up by 20. And then, what do you make of this? This is very interesting, what he said. I think the most important thing is to look straight in the mirror. We put a lot into this game. Not that we don't put into it every week.

Our practice, sometimes your preparation is really good and you don't play as well as you like, and there's times where your preparation is not very good and you play better than you thought. I think clearly this week our preparation was pretty much in line with the way we played. This group works hard. I do.

I truly love the locker room. They've got a ton of fight. But we're going through some growing pains. That's pretty damning. So our preparation matched the game that you saw. He's saying we had bad practices. We did not do well preparing for this game.

Or is he delusional thinking that they looked pretty good overall? I mean, he just got through saying... I don't know about that. I think he's saying they were crappy. That's the way I feel. Boy, I don't like this mix at all. Because Dak is starting to throw people under the bus. He's on his last year of his deal.

He's trying to convince you it's not his fault either. And Growing Pains, it's not like they're this young team. No, they've had the same core for a long time. And it's such a grandpa team. Every week, it seems like the network will show some graphic of a Shanahan tree. And it's like all these guys look like Andy that are head coaches, that are smart, and they're innovative, and they do cool stuff. And then you see frumpy ass, oh, no, well, I am but or.

And Mike Zimmer looking at his freaking Chili's menu through his readers, and what am I going to call next? It's just give it up. Mike Zimmer does not inspire kick-ass-edness. He's looking at his players like this. Yes, when you see Grandpa on the sideline with readers. The Ben Franklin glasses. Readers just don't.

For a better description. It's just that Dan Quinn just looked like a tough guy. Dan Campbell-ish. I know he was up in the booth, but still. Right. Dan Quinn just looked like a tough guy. Dan Campbell-ish. I know he was up in the booth, but still. Right. It's just different. I know that their offensive coordinator looked like Mr. Magoo as well,

but you know what I'm talking about? This team just seems so boring when it comes to all that. Jerry's the rickety-ass ringleader. I don't know. That's why I didn't like the DAC extension. I just wanted something else. Because what we're watching now sucks. And it sucked for the past five years.

Somehow people expected it was going to be different. Bring all the same people back, but just pay them more and something will change. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. You know, I figure we are live streaming today, right? Yeah. Are we ready for a break? Yeah.

Like we're prepped for a break? Okay, I forgot. I prepped for a... Sorry. Huh? I'm good. Okay. I prepped for a podcast break, but I don't need it. But we do need to go drain some veins. So there were times in life.

You wish you had a do over a chance to warp back in time to change your faith back to before you made the wrong choice. If you're in a wreck, make the smart choice right away. Frankel & Frankel. Chosen by the people, feared by the insurance companies. Call Frankel first. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. That's right.

And don't forget that ProSlat event is at ProSlat.com. You can see where the brick-and-mortar building of ProSlat is. Their grand opening is on Saturday at ProSlat.com. Click on events. You could also see their industry event on Friday night. Or excuse me, Friday afternoon. So you can stop by there as well. No puppet!

If you're in the game. Right now, I would like to do some cowboy game audio from the TV broadcast, and that actually is sponsored by Early Bird CBD. Here you go, dog. Why don't you shut up? Maybe slide him a little of that because Early Bird CBD.

Have you done that, the Early Bird? What, giving CBD to my dog? No, no, no, no. Early Bird CBD. I did it last night. Do they have a toddler formula? I don't believe they do because it's actually got the THC. So the CBD.

I don't mind. As long as it works, Dan. I don't know if that's legal. But it's a legal amount of THC, and it's a very consistent dose, 2.5 milligrams of THC. Not really specifically for sleep, but does it help you sleep? It helps me calm down. Yeah. After watching the damn Cowboys.

Kind of like a zen-like experience, what they say. It'll take the edge off of a tough day. Kind of like a zen-like experience, what they say. It'll take the edge off of a tough day. So if you've had a tough day with that wild kid of yours that's too wild to bring over to my house, try some early bird CBD. And you might end up getting a great night's sleep as well. It could help with anxiety as well.

Perhaps you're someone who has never had or has had only CBD gummies and it's never worked well try these my wife was kind of in that camp where she's like oh the cbd that doesn't do anything for me well this actually has thc added as well and you can go to earlybirdcbd.com use theZONE, all one word. You get 20% off on early bird CBD at earlybirdcbd.com. Use the code DUMZONE, all one word. How do you spell that, Andy? I'm just wondering if the D and the Z have to be capitalized or not up there on the screen. Is that? I don't know. Does it matter?

In fact, I'm not. It's cap sensitive? Because the copy I have, it says it's all capital. Yeah, and up here, it's just a capital D. See, I don't want to have multiple tries and then get frozen out of my early bird account. Early bird CBD. Yeah. And then you'll be all frustrated.

I know. You'll need to take an Early Bird CBD. Sign up for two-step verification. I need to know these answers. Hold on, we got a buzz. Take a CBD gummy from Early Bird. You'll be fine, Blake. I have one of these white power cords if you want one of those.

You have a white power cord? Good lord. Not surprising, sports viewer. Good lord. Not surprising, sports viewer. Let's see. There you go.

How about that? Look at that. Blake's computer is not going to die and kill today's show. But I might have to borrow that black power cord because you're using my white one. That's his BLM cord. But wait, wait, wait. Right now, yeah, let's do game audio. Let's start.

And if you don't mind, I might be munching on some salmon while we're talking. Dude, help yourself. It smells divine. Let's start from the beginning. It's only bad if you microwave it with the people. So bringing it in here is bad as well? That scrumptious aroma just permeates drywall, sheetrock, doors. Are you against this, Andy? Are you anti me bringing the salmon up?

No, no. It doesn't bother me. I think it's worse. You're right out of the microwave, but you did that downstairs. Yeah, all right. It's mild. You're doing great. Excellent. All right. here's some audio all right let's start from something that happened before kickoff this was in

the booth when we're we're getting introduced to kevin burkhart and tom brady and kevin mentioned something in this very brief clip that kind of sets the tone for the rest of the audio that i have to play and i guess we learned something that maybe is probably standard with a broadcasting team, but God did Tom Brady realize that he had signed up for 17 weeks of this Dallas got shredded here at home last week. We'll talk about their defense in a moment, but I love what you said last night at dinner.

You said to me, this is a Dak Prescott game. Yeah, it is. So do you think he was just bragging that he went to dinner with Tom Brady? There's a lot of different ways to look at this, but I think that's probably the best way is that me and Tom Brady have dinner. Right.

Last night at dinner. You know, I was out with Tom Brady at dinner. You know, with Tebes, just having some snacks at din. Yeah. But yeah. That also tells me that all they do is talk about work together, meaning they probably aren't good friends.

Yeah, sitting at dinner. Like, if I went to dinner with Dan, we're not talking about the show. No. Like, we do that all the time. You might talk about work, but you're not talking specifically about, what are the Cowboys like, Tom? Yeah. Evaluate the Cowboys.

Well, it's a Dak Prescott team. We were in the same production meetings. You're going to tell me on the game tomorrow. He just wanted to tell everyone that he went to dinner with Tom Brady. That's like saying, you texted me last night that... Yeah.

Or, yeah, I was on the treadmill when you called. It's like, okay, cool, you work out. Awesome, bro. When I was at dinner with Tom Brady last night, thought that was funny. So I guess they're buddies and hang out and have dinner together. Is Tom thinking, geez louise, I've got to do this 14, 15 more times? Have dinner with KB?

EA and TR? EA, are they there? Not to mention, did they even get the invite? EA was looking great. EA? Yeah, she's a lovely lady. Let's skip over this one. All right, so I was talking to Blake before the show today,

and I'll be honest, man. We talk all the time. We hang out. We were having some dinner. Get some breakfast. Yep. Tom Brady's gotten good. It's week three, and he's actually really good now.

And whatever criticisms we had of him in the first game, I think he's cleaned that up and sounds prepared. He's smooth. Minimal hiccups in his speech. Minimal stuttering in his speech. I think he's very, very solid and can do this like Troy for as long as he wants to. So that being said, there wasn't a lot to pick from in the first half, but I did think that the – I think it would be cool to play the call

of the awesome 65-yard field goal. These don't happen all the time. When they do, it's pretty awesome. So I wanted to play this clip, and Tom Brady gets really goofy at the end of it. Brandon Aubrey trying a 65-yard field goal. As long this year, 57. 65-yarder from Aubrey is up, and it is good!

65, right off the NFL record. I'll tell you, this field goal kicker electrifies the crowd here. I'm electrified. It's unbelievable. 65. He really does, man. I'm electrified. It's unbelievable.

He does. It's great. Yeah. Like, we were fired up yesterday. He really does, man. I'm electrified. It's unbelievable. He does. It's great. Yeah. He's the most – Like, we were fired up yesterday. They had an opportunity to do a 67, didn't they? And pass that up? Or no, it was actually a 65 later, correct?

Yeah. Yeah, it was from the 47 or 48. Yeah. Like, he's going to break the record. He's kind of the most exciting thing about the team. He's going to break the record, but it has to be at the end of a game or a half, or likely half. It'd be awesome if you –

They give up a late touchdown. They just got it 30 seconds. They kind of get into field goal range, and they have to take whatever they can. It would be badass if he breaks the record to win a game. Oh, my God. I think he, more than any other kicker has an opportunity to do that considering that the Cowboys will probably have a lot of games. A couple things go right for them last night or yesterday

at the end of that thing and he might be kicking for at least a tie at some point and who knows how long that could have been. This promo aired He's so... because he was in studio with us and described just the process and how he got this good and the coaching he went through. He's just a robot. He's a savant. He just – you could see him do it too, walk off the exact steps,

and you also look at his face. He never looks too happy. He never looks upset. He's just the same. When he made that against the Browns, was it a 55-yarder? 60-something, and then they removed him back. Oh, that's when he was going to try the 68-yarder. And, like, his face is the exact same.

When he stepped back, like, like okay i'll just do this now because i am programmed to kick ball you know it's funny when you see other kickers try to make pretty long field goals like that when they do it their their uh their approach looks so different like it's max effort and they're really trying and the ball trajectory is kind of low and they a lot a lot of times they get blocked he looks like he's kicking an extra point. And, like, usually right down the middle. Yeah. Usually.

So, if he's having a bad day, it's, you know, five yards inside of the goal post. So, Fox, I think, they've carried EPL games, right? They've done that in the past, I believe. I think FS1 is kind of locked in with the EPL games, right? They've done that in the past, I believe. I think FS1 is kind of locked in with the EPL. They do soccer and whatnot. What's soccer? Which is cool. Soccer, Greg.

And this promo they ran last night for the NFL Network for an upcoming game. I thought their choice – I think they got their choices in voiceover guys mixed up maybe this guy was just hanging out in the hall and just got done promoting a bunch of EPL games but they used this dude to promote American football and it sounded weird

to me Justin Jefferson leads the Vikings against Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. Jets-Vikings, Sunday, October 6th at 9.30 Eastern, only on NFL Network. You ever notice that before? No. It makes sense because it's their game in England. Is that why? Yeah. Okay. If they have a 9.30 game, it's not in Baltimore or Green Bay.

Which also made me think this is weird because when you listen to that guy's voice, it sounds like their normal voiceover guy just trying to do a British accent. You think it was? No. I mean, listen to the timbre of his voice. He sounds like you could hear this guy just being a regular American sports announcer.

Listen. Wakey, wakey. It's Sunday morning football. Watch live as Justin Jefferson leads the Vikings against Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. Jets, Vikings. Sunday, October 6th at 9.30 Eastern. Only on NFL Network. I don't know.

That just sounds like me trying to do a bad British accent. I think he's a legit Brit. I can see his teeth. We made it until the middle of the third quarter before the nickname game busted out. Burst out, I guess. They were pretty clean the whole time. No wacky nicknames, no comedy bits, no silliness.

And I'll be damned if Tom Brady isn't the one that broke the seal and once he did the floodgates opened downhill run he reads it to the backside and he's out the gate

stiff arm one of the most vicious in the game holy cow try to tackle that KB no thanks I'm good oh my god

I mean it's just try to tackle that KB, no thanks. I'm good. Oh, my God. I mean, it's just. Try to tackle that, KB. So KB now realizes it's okay. Oh, yes. And not 60 seconds later, we get treated to this. And, you know, maybe not. Oh, and listen to the, let me preface this. Listen to the pause before he issues the Tom Brady shortened name.

And the pause afterwards, it's like he thought about it and goes, yeah, I'm going for it. And, you know, maybe not the time to bring it up at 28-6, TV. Dallas' run game has been completely invisible. TV, not the time to bring this up. And, you know, maybe not the time to bring it up at 28-6. TB, Dallas' run game has been completely invisible. Yeah.

So from that point forward, we're all black friends, man. Let's go. That's awesome. Let's see. I guess they didn't do that with Greg. Geo. Hey, Geo. I mean, TB was TB12.

Sure. At least he's got that. I know, but we said they would never do it with Tom Rinaldi, but they do. Ah, TR. Yeah, they have done that. So we talked about this earlier, and it took them a minute to get to, once watching Derrick Henry just rack up as many yards as he did, for them to start commenting on what everybody that is a Cowboys fan was thinking during that game.

The irony is that Derrick Henry, a lot of people thought, would have looked good in Dallas. Instead he signs with Baltimore, and now he's saying, see what you missed? And Derrick in some ways expressed interest that this is one of the places that he wanted to come. Yeah. So if you're a Cowboys fan, you're thinking, wait, he looks pretty good over there. Well, Henry's in Dallas.

He's just leaving after the game. That's the only difference. See? See, he got to Dallas. He's here now. He's going to leave. Yeah. The comedy just kind of started taking off after the nickname game broke.

Starting with this, this was when they showed, or I guess Rinaldi did a package on Derrick Henry's workout routine, and they had video of him, and he was doing some type of, looked like lower body training with these big heavyweight chains that he was carrying around, and they're talking about that and reacting to that well uh let's give you a little example this is not a small human being the chains you use those in your workouts kb i did this morning in the hotel gym i did yeah that's what all that rattling was

are you kidding and that one oh yeah my groin would be ripped in half right there that's not part of the TB12 method? That wouldn't work for me. Ah, man, we're having fun. So much fun, but we did get this uncomfortable, unfortunate drop from Tom Brady. My groin would be ripped in half. That made me giggle. Then we move on to the Derrick Henry diet.

And this is basically Rinaldi just running down the stuff that he eats. You know, back to just them having fun. They're having fun, by the way. Part of why it doesn't sound real is because KB always has announcer voice, doesn't he? Yes, I was working out. Tom Brady actually kind of just speaks like a person. Sounds like Tom. But yes, that's the change that you heard me.

I was working out. Yeah, it's just always announcer guy. When you started out in this business, did you find yourself having to break away from that, or you always just talked like yourself when you were on air? Or did you kind of have an affectation to what you were doing, thinking this is what people on radio want? Do you remember?

I don't know what I did. I don't know what I do now. I would have a hard time believing that you've ever been anything other than the version of Dan that you were at that time and not trying to be, this is Dan McDowell coming at you live from Akron. No, he played some of his play-by-play and it's a little play-by-play-y.

Well, that's different, I guess. But yeah, I was just curious in radio, like some guys have radio voice. Yeah. I think that I'm always, there's a tiny bit of me in the back of my head that I've never been able to break

that I'm always trying to sound like a broadcaster rather than just, hey, Blake, how's it going, man? Just like I would normally. Well, you had to project. Yeah. In theory, enunciate. But I see these guys that are really good at it

and they never sound like, they just sound like they're just having a conversation. Everything's normal. Let's see. Okay, back to the diet. Derrick Henry's diet. Let's see. Could you stick stick to this no fried food no dairy no gluten no artificial sugars doesn't eat until four or five o'clock during the season during

there maybe has a banana or avocado before practice Ted and Marc Andrews refer to him as like one of those huge EV SUVs. Smooth, fast, powerful. He's obsessive. That is a guy that looks like he ate a cow whole and ate one avocado until 5 o'clock. I don't understand. It looked like that. It's amazing.

Here he gets it again. It's amazing. Yeah, no, I'm envious of... I want to be able to eat like that. What, an avocado for breakfast and then a meal at 5? I couldn't hold out until 4 p.m. and eating. That's a big thing with these athletes. Is it really? Why?

OMAD. What is that? What is that? One meal a day. I kind of do that. I've never heard of that. I haven't seen any real effect on my body. How have I not heard of that?

And why? I thought it was small meals throughout the day. That's the best way. It always changes. That's always changing. The big thing now is to fast. Yeah. So, yeah, he's fasting until 5 o'clock.

We did the same thing. We played the audio. DK Metcalf does the same thing. So two of the most yoked guys in the league do this thing where they don't eat until 5 or 6 o'clock in the evening. I don't understand how he keeps that much mass doing that. That's the thing. How does he not get thin?

He must be eating an incredible amount of protein and calories at 5 o'clock. He's got to be. Yeah, I'd like to know that meal. Yeah, that's the entire cow that Katie was referring to. So you say no gluten, no this, no that. Okay, what do you eat then? Yeah, no dairy, no gluten, no artificial sugars. No fried foods.

No fried foods. I mean, just probably chicken and rice. Whey protein. Yeah. But how much? A lot. Probably a lot. That guy needs...

Yeah, you can't... If I'm getting 2,000 calories a day, what's he getting? The same 2,000, or probably more, 3,000 in that one meal. I was going to say, 3,000, 4,000. Yeah.

I mean, the effort he's putting out, practice on that? It might be more than that. If he's doing those workouts on the regular... Yeah, you've got to feel that. Like you said, he has to sustain his bulk.

He can't... Right. Crazy. The comedy continued on, and this is the last clip that I have, and I think Blake's got a few things he wanted to play as well. But here's KB, the jokester. You know, listen, we're just trying to tell you, if you're watching this game at home, as they say in Dumb and Dumber,

so you're telling me there's a chance. TB living proof. Oh, man. You're telling me there's a chance. TB Living Proof. Oh, man. And TB Living Proof because we kept referring to the Super Bowl halftime score. Yeah, there was the fan that had the scoreboard on his T-shirt in the stands. Right, so now we're going to go back to that guy.

That guy got a lot of screen time, and the sad Cowboys fan with the gigantic foam cowboy hat got screen time too. Yeah, that guy was a meme was with the baseball hat, right? I don't know what it was, but it was like really big. It looked like... Yeah, the oversized... I have one of those. Did you buy me it, Blake? Somebody got me the oversized NFL hat. Looks like a

Fisher Price kid. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm going to pick up where you left off. KB trying to be funny Because he's the funny guy And they're the funny booth So they were doing a thing where Here's how open the Ravens receivers were So they put like this

Play this I'm going to go grab my oversized hat I can hear it So they have a green circle around The Ravens wide receivers to show Just how open they were And this was coming out of break. I mean, those are all really good throws by Lamar, but it doesn't take a perfect throw when you're up by 10 yards.

You've got to lob the ball out there, and sometimes it looks like you're out to practice early. Nobody's on the field except you. Catch it and just, all right, jog until you get tired. When you were throwing a Gronk, did you just look for the giant green circle? Was that also on the field when you played? Yeah, that's what I liked.

He lit up. He was like flashing lights at Gronk field when you played? He was, yeah. That's what I liked. He lit off. He was like flashing lights at the ground. He made weird noises from time to time. That I believe. Here's Prescott. That I believe. And it's rough when in that, like if somebody made a dumb joke in here, you call it out. Sure.

But Tom's got to, yeah, that's what I did. Yes. That's what I did. Yeah. No, it's a yes and thing. And that was my problem with the kiddie. Because you've got to yeah that's what I did it's a yes and thing and that was my problem because you've got to add to it that was my thing with KB in week one he's doing this stuff to Tom Brady in his first game and Tom doesn't know how to play this game

he doesn't know what to do but yeah KB sucks I think want to see my oversized hat? this is what Blake bought me. Is it on camera? This is the exact hat, right? He just had a cowboy thing on it.

Uh-huh. Yeah, it's a big hat. You have the big Rob Lowe hat. Yeah. But yeah, you were obsessed with the Roblo NFL shield hat. So you thought, well, let's buy a Danabob big hat. Where did you find that? Yeah, I wear this out a lot.

No, you don't. How does it stay on your head? Does the headset keep it propped? There's supposed to be an insert in there. Okay. My head is big. Okay, so this was after the

play when Dak is sitting in the pocket and he just drops the ball. They shouldn't do that play. Shouldn't? Yeah, I don't like that play. I think that they shouldn't call that take that out of the playbook. So, no defender hits it out of his hand. It's just kind of like he's going up to pass it.

He just drops it. I can't tell if Brady... I think someone poured honey on him. That would keep the ball in his hand. Oh, okay. We were obsessing over that yesterday during the live stream. The whole... You see me in a bear in a fight, pour honey on me, so... Do you remember that?

That was against Philly last year, or before they played Philly. They were saying that the reporters went up to Dak and said, Hey, Jerry Jones... Because Philly was like 8-1. And they said Jerry Jones said he didn't want to poke the bear and get them angered. So he wasn't going to say anything to give them fuel for this week's game. And then Dak said, hmm.

You see me and a bear in a fight, pour honey on me. So they're like, he welcomed the bear. Whatever. I don't care if it's a bear. Pour honey on me. And then he got his ass kicked that weekend. Yeah. Anyway. Anyway, got his ass kicked that weekend. Yeah. Anyway.

Anyway, this is Brady after that play. I can't tell if he's mocking how he cheated in the NFL or not. That's got him in trouble. He lost the ball for a second, didn't he? And he's down on it. Couldn't totally tell. It just went down strangely. Let's see.

He's just looking down the field. Oh, yeah. Oh, jeez. tell it just went down strangely let's see yeah he's just looking down the field they were trying to oh geez i don't think i ever want to hear tom brady say that about my quarterback oh geez how the hell did you do that oh yeah oh geez i thought lucky to get it back very lucky sometimes you get so relaxed in the pocket it just actually didn't slip out of my hands much. Yeah! Here we go! Actually, that never happened to me.

It did happen maybe once in a while, but... You know, listen, we're just trying to tell you, if you're watching this game at home, as they say in Dumb and Dumber... Okay, yeah, that again went on the KBs. Wait a second! Definitely a shot. Okay, because...

Let's see if you're watching this game at home. Well, so if you're watching it over here, Andy, we're not trying to tell you. You're watching it at a home. At a home. At what should be a garage apartment that he rents out to supplement his mortgage. I think most people are watching the game at home.

Yeah. Okay, so Brady says, no, actually the ball never slipped out of my hands. Is he saying because he used to deflate the footballs? Because he says that KB doesn't say anything, and then Brady kind of laughs. Well, he laughs immediately after he says it. Okay.

It's kind of a little sly little snicker. All right, let's check this out again. Oh, jeez. That's what I thought. Lucky to get it back. Very lucky. Sometimes you get so relaxed in the pocket, it just

actually didn't slip out of my hands much it did happen maybe once in a while but interesting i don't know i thought that was weird i don't think so but no i think he was maybe he's he's saying because yeah i think so why else would he say it like that well that's awesome yeah that's great yeah remember when i cheated i'm still up here his reaction to dac dropping the ball the ogs sports illustrated published an online article based on tom brady's reaction to that the ogs well tom brady's reaction to daax Fumble says it all. I mean, that was the headline.

And then my final thing, we played this last week where I thought Brady broke down the offense, the Cowboys' offense perfectly of not a lot of depth, teams are going to double CD. If it's going to get into a shootout, they're going to have some problems. Well, he's talking about the Cowboys offense this week, and he doesn't have a lot of nice things to say about them. There's a lot of time, and again, put together play after play.

Just in this drive, you're not thinking about 22-point touchdowns. You're thinking about one drive, one touchdown, play with a little rhythm. And we had talked about in week one, like, hey, give me something to let me know that you played quarterback in the NFL. He's been way better about that in the last two weeks of, hey, when you're down in this situation, or hey, when you see this kind of coverage, or hey, whatever situation, he's been really good at explaining what you're supposed to do. So I thought here, when the Cowboys were down 28-6, he's saying exactly, you can't score a 22 point touchdown. You just gotta take it one play

at a time. I thought that was great. Put together, play after play, just in this drive. You're not thinking about 22 point touchdowns. You're thinking about one drive, one touchdown, play with a little rhythm. Find CD when it's one on another penalty.

Oh my god. Oh my god. Well, if God. Oh, my God. Well, if you're frustrated, I'm guessing they're frustrated. Offense number 88. Five-yard penalty. First down. It's just beating yourself, unforced errors, penalties at home. I mean, this is the place where you shouldn't have pre-snap penalties.

On the road, you can understand crowd noise. I didn't really see the center. Okay, maybe I jumped the snap. At home, this is just very undisciplined from this offense. Yeah, that's my point on the first drive of the game. The first drive of the game! After the tough off week, we got killed last week. We're out here. We accepted.

We won the toss. We're going to take the ball. We need to do something right now. You should be focused beyond all belief there. But for Tom Brady to be dissecting your offense and be saying, oh, geez, when your quarterback drops it, and when you get your penalty, he's like, oh, my God. He's just not very complimentary in this Cowboys offense.

No, and like you said last week, the concern is, if this is not a world-class defense, and it certainly does not look like one right now, and they're relatively healthy. I know they got – Deron Bland is out. That's a big miss. But otherwise, this is kind of the defense you're going to have. And you have to know, Deron Bland can come back.

They're going to have another injury. They got to have depth to weather injuries. Every team does. I think in years past when Dak is saying, jump off the bandwagon if you want to, they always had the talent. Did he say that today? Yeah, of course he did.

Or yesterday? But like I was saying, the other day, he was pointing out, if you are going to have this bad defense, it might be pretty tough for the Cowboys this year if you have this offense. Are you able to get in a shootout and hang? Maybe a shootout and hang, but are you able to come back from a big deficit?

And it kind of feels like fool's gold, yesterday's comeback. Yeah. Don't you think Tom Brady is just like telling the Fox executives, don't put me on another Cowboys broadcast? He's had the first three to start the season. Well, I wondered if that was by design as well, because then you only have to really prepare hard each week for one new team. And you feel a little comfort.

Like, I know this roster. I don't have to study that whole thing. Very familiar with what I've been seeing. Probably a combination of that and the highest profile team that's going to get the biggest ratings. Yeah, it feels like... Put your A team on it, every one of those. Yesterday, I'm trying to think off the top of my head, the slate. San Francisco Rams might have had a good argument to be the game of the week.

But, obviously, you know, last year's MVP and last year's runner-up to MVP is – Cowboys are always a good option. So, anyway. That's audio, Dan. Yeah, I guess we're done talking about the Cowboy game. Unless you want to hear the recently surfaced audio video from Jerry at training camp a few years back. What is that?

So, I don't know why this is just now coming out, but Jamie Foxx apparently goes to a lot of Cowboys training camps. I've seen him out there. Yeah. And one day, this was a number of years ago, three, four. They said several. They don't know exactly when it was. He's sitting in the stands with Jerry.

They're practicing. He's got his phone. He's got it in selfie position where it's kind of showing him and he'll flip it to where you can see what's going on on the field well sitting next to him is the owner of the cowboys jerry jones we'll pick this audio up where jerry jones starts describing one of the players that just made a play i don't know who it is do you know who it is blake no some player he's describing uh who just did something on the field. And listen to the statistics that Jerry chooses to bring up

when describing this player. Hey, I'm pretty good right now. He showed balance. Five, nine, two, two. 9-9-2-2. 9-9-2-2. 4-4-1. Okay. 9-3-8.

8-1-2. And then the stream cuts off. Jamie Foxx ended the live stream. Oh, yeah, he was live streaming this, so somebody captured this, I guess. He ends the stream the second Jerry says. Play that all again. Eight and a half. I'll pick it up to where he just starts going through the description.

Sorry. Five, nine, and a half. Four, four, one. Okay. Nine and three half. Two, two. Nine, nine, two, two. Four, four, one. Okay. Nine and three inch head. Eight and a half inch dick. Why is that today of all things? I don't know.

You know how much of a problem I have with this none yeah no he's awesome doing bits yeah he's hanging with his buddies he's 5'9.5

210 runs what was it 4'4.1 40 yeah 9 and 3 inch head is that right

9 and that's a huge dome but the most impressive feature of of course, is. Nine and three inch head. Eight and a half inch dick. Eight and a half inch dick. Right, especially if you're 5'9", right?

Right. That's like half your body. Yeah, that's a clear in the kneecap, bud. Eight and a half inch dick. You guys want to do some viewer mail? Yeah. All right. Hey, everybody.

It's time to answer some of today's viewer mail. Then we'll do news. Mm-hmm. Then history. Mm-hmm. And then we'll go. Eight and a half inches. I just have a few birthdays

You ever hear of YouTube? Yeah. Check out the dumb zone. This one is Heil Führerberger. And there's a new Roseanne, says Matt. As WNBA enthusiasts and DFW residents, I'm surprised you haven't noticed. The Roseanne above all other Roseannes dwells on the sidelines of her Dallas wings. Patricia Trammell.

Oh, wow. All right. There's a dash of Karen in there, but if she's not a Roseanne, I don't know what constitutes a Roseanne. This is from Matt. Yeah, that's a dash of Karen in there, but if she's not a Roseanne, I don't know what constitutes a Roseanne. This is from Matt. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah. Yes, I'm surprised we haven't noticed that when watching the Dallas Wings

and all the Patricia Trammell shots on the sideline of her barking out orders. Calling timeouts. Right? They probably do that. You didn't notice her when you flipped over. Did they have timeouts in the WNBA? No. When you flipped over to see Kaitlyn Clark.

Dude. You didn't notice her? She's so unbelievable. I got some Kaitlyn Clark talk in me. Let's do it tomorrow. Yeah, definitely. Playoffs are starting. Yeah, they start twice a year.

I'm convinced the WNBA plays more than one season a year because they're always on. They're always on. They always have a draft. God, it's always draft. It's always a WNBA draft time. It's like soccer seasons. There's always draft. It's always a WNBA draft time. It's like soccer seasons.

There's always another soccer season. Like, oh, no, that was a friendly. Like, what? What is that? And then Anna K. emails in. You know Anna K. Yep. Chops dog's heads off.

She does. She's our veterinarian expert. She's also in one of our videos, our Open for Business video. She went to the Falcons game yesterday. She points out Dion is in their ring of honor. Well, I knew that, Anna K. But she thinks it's funny that at halftime, the Falcons inducted Arthur Blank into the Ring of Honor. I saw this.

On Sunday Night Football? Or when was it? Was it Sunday night? Yep. Arthur Blank chooses, like that's how Ring of Honors work. There's no committee. There's no voting by the fans. The owner chooses who gets in the Ring of Honor.

So Arthur Blank had to like did they film a call? Did they get the moment? Like he put himself into the Ring of Honor. And then so at halftime like he's usually the one awarding like oh now we're celebrating here like who did it he whoever did it he told them to do it hey put me in the ring of honor i've been a good enough owner i mean we've been to the super bowl right okay 10 years ago He brought in his minion,

Roger Goodell, to do it. Roger Goodell did the award? Well, he was there. I don't know if he presented it or not, but... Well, I'm with Anna Kay. I also think that's humorous. That's a funny pat myself on the back. Yeah.

I'm surprised Jerry hasn't done that yet. Like, Jerry's not even in the Ring of Honor. Yeah. Because you can't... But maybe now he'll be like, oh, you could do that? I thought that would have been frowned upon. Next year. He'll put himself in as GM, not owner.

Oh, yeah. Okay. That's a great call. All right. Here's Jake with Not Jake. The Zone News. Jake will be back sooner than you think, right? Really?

I don't know. Yeah, what have you heard? Nothing. Oh. If you hear anything, let us know. I was hoping I was going to show up and today was going to be the day. I know. I'm sorry to disappoint you.

You never know. I was just trying to be like Jerry at the end of the game, bright side. You know, there's still hope for the season. There's still hope that Jake will come back. Definitely, but I don't know that it's this week. In fact, I'm just about positive it's not this week. No. This is incredibly wacky.

I stumbled on this this morning on the New York Post. The guy that tried to execute the second assassination of Donald Trump, who is in jail, several months ago, he wrote a note where he declared that he intended that he was going to kill Donald Trump. So he put this note in a box and left it at a person's house who has not yet been identified. And what the note says, and this is a little bit weird, the note starts saying, this was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I failed you. So he wrote this note months before he was arrested at that golf course where he was setting up his little sniper's nest like 500 feet away from Trump. He goes on to say in his note,

I tried my best and gave it all the gumption i could muster it's up to you now to finish the job and i will offer 150 000 to whomever can complete the job everyone across the globe from the youngest to the oldest know that trump is unfit to be anything much less a u.s president u.s presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is america and be kind caring and selfless and always stand for humanity so the handwritten note was only discovered after the person who lived in the house where the box was being kept opened the box and alerted authorities in the wake of his arrest from this attempt okay so this box is sitting

there for months this person sees that ryan ruth has been arrested in some weird assassination attempt on Trump, opens the box and turns this stuff over to the authorities. Also inside the box with the letter was ammunition, a metal pipe, miscellaneous building materials, tools, tools, and four cell phones and multiple other letters that were unrelated.

So police are wondering you wrote this four months ago you claim that the attempt was unsuccessful yeah now they're wondering did he try this before oh was this a second attempt a second failed attempt on Trump's life? That's what they're trying to figure out. They don't know yet because this just hit the news this morning. He possibly failed because of his attitude. If he writes that before doing it, you're visualizing that's a loser mentality. I mean, why would you write

a letter saying that you're going... He's writing about this failure as it was in past tense. Not like a suicide note. Almost, though. Because he wants someone to finish the job. Months later. He might be expecting to have

been taken out during the thing. How's he going to pay him $150,000? Did he write this before the other guy? He can't assume that had he... The Pennsylvania one? It said several months prior. So possibly, yeah. Yes.

Yeah. So is he thinking, I'm going to be unsuccessful at this and I'm going to get killed. Therefore, it's going to show that I was unsuccessful at this. But I mean, you could be successful in the assassination and still get taken out by Secret Service. Both of those things could happen too. Secret Service. Both of those things could happen too. I think that he probably was at the very minimal scoping a scene out or

being at the same place at the same time as Trump and might have had a weapon on him and just didn't go through with it or didn't have the right opportunity. Well, what if we now, since they didn't take him out, what if we go ask him? He'll tell us. I haven't heard anything

about the information that they're they're getting from him have you guys seen anything at all of him speaking about this interesting though secret box with a gun and a pipe so the green building got sold the downtown dallas green building otherwise known as the bank Bank of America Plaza. And it got sold to a Dallas investor that has also put money into a lot of stuff down there. And what they're looking to do is take a wild guess. Build a moat on it. Mixed use. They want restaurants.

They want residences. They want hotel. They want restaurants. They want residences. They want hotel. And the deal, it doesn't even look like this deal is going to get done. It's obviously a complex deal, but it's not going to get done until next year. So when they start upgrading it, doing whatever modifications and what they plan to do with that thing.

That's going to be sometime in the future, but the green building is going to be going under some renovations in the next three to five years, it looks like. So we can have more restaurants, more hotels, more housing downtown. Because when you have more stuff like that, it brings a revitalization to the area, right, Dan? I mean, look at Cleveland. It sounds good. Doesn't it? Better than

we're just going to make it more offices. Yeah. I think. I guess. Makes sense because I'm sure a lot of people once COVID happened, you learned that you maybe need to have a big commercial real estate imprint

and people could do their work at home, in the field, via Zoom, whatnot. I really thought that the commercial real estate aspect or part of real estate was going to suffer after COVID. And I thought that all these office buildings were going to downsize or just disappear altogether. But I've read that it's doing quite fine. Yeah, I think they're slowly bringing people back to work. Because I don't think people like working from home. Yeah, it's mixed, isn't it? I mean, Dan's working from home right now.

Do you like this? I don't mind it at all. But I also didn't want to do this long-term, full-time, just because I don't think it at all. But I also didn't want to do this long term, full time just because I don't think that's viable. You know, it was cool that Brandon Aubrey did come over here.

But this is work coming to you. I mean, truly working from home would be we're all on Zoom doing the show. Right. And that would suck. Yeah, I think so. I think you need some interaction. I think some people just enjoy a routine.

They enjoy getting out of the house, being away, having a structure. Will be more productive, perhaps, if you do leave. For sure. Yeah. I think there can be a middle ground, I think. I don't think you need to be clocking in for eight hours and sitting at a desk. No, but...

Because then, I don't know. There has to be some kind of... We have to come to some agreement that... Maybe it's a couple days a week from home or certain things. That's a lot of my friends that have normal jobs. They have a 3-2 split where they're off Monday or Friday or they're off Thursday and Friday. But they're not full-time in the office. But they're not full-time at home either.

They're not off, but they're off from the office, you're saying. Yeah, they're working from home. That's where I work. It's Fridays is work from home. Is that new because of the pandemic? They drilled it down. It used to be full remote during the pandemic uh they drilled it down used to be like you know full remote during the pandemic of course then they went like three days and then two days so they were slowly bringing everybody back to office okay i mean some things are certainly a waste

but you know maybe sales people out on the road, maybe once a week in the office. Yeah. But I remember guys at the old station used to, some of the salespeople would bitch they had to come in, like they were making them come in after the pandemic. Like you have to be there on other days. It was like Wednesdays or something. Tuesday morning or something.

But they had to be there to be on a Zoom call with the other markets. It was like Wednesdays or something. Tuesday morning or something. But they had to be there to be on a Zoom call with the other markets. Right. Well, I could... If we're just doing a Zoom call, like if we have to be there because of a meeting and let's talk about... Like, I do think some interaction does help.

My wife's job is 100%. She's all over Latin America. She's from Brazil, but all of her meetings are with Brazil, Argentina, all of South America. Before the pandemic, she has an office. Still, to this day, she goes in. It could have been remote before.

Your wife's Brazilian? Yep. That's cool. So when she goes to the spa, she just has to ask for a wax. Yep. The wax. The wax. Don't need to qualify it. Does she tell you to stand up for yourself? No.

No. I think I do enough of that already. She probably tells me to tone it down. Oh, okay. Are you an ultimate fighter? No. No. I just needed to ask.

One more quickie. So you're an 817 guy, right? Yep. Camp Wisdom and R.L. Thornton. Would that be Camp Wisdom in 30 i guess uh yeah rough neighborhood i guess yeah is that stop six yeah yeah that's the east side of fort worth then i think so yeah yeah yeah yes stop six is crazy story there was a there's a motel over there and several people um were found inside this motel room.

Wait a second. This says in Dallas. Are you, like, just reading the story now? No, no, no, no, no. I'm just saying, look, the address says that there's a Grand Inn on West Camp Wisdom Road off Thornton Freeway, and this happened Sunday night, but Dallas police are the ones reporting this.

I thought Camp Wisdom was Fort Worth. I was thinking Camp Bowie, probably. Oh, Camp Bowie. Camp Wisdom's, yeah, Camp Wisdom's just right over there, a little outside of Loop 12, I think. My bad. So, Dallas police. Okay, there's a motel on Camp Wisdom 30. There's a blood trail

leading to one of the motel rooms. Somebody sees this, calls cops. The cops show up. They walk in, and there are three people, several people, injured in this shooting. There was a shooting that happened. There's people inside the room. I believe one of them was dead.

The other had been shot in the chest when the police arrived, and he was rushed to the hospital. There was a third victim, a woman, who was in the room, and she was bleeding from her foot. They're not sure whether she got shot in the foot or she stepped on glass during the shooting. But they believed,

cops believed there were multiple suspects involved in this shooting. That either this was a hit that was put out on these people that they knew were going to be in this room or something had gone wrong and they whoa differences and then gunfire the next thing you know this guy's dead and another dude's getting care flighted to a hospital with a bullet in his chest but yeah right outside of dallas city limits camp wisdom not camp buoy fort worth fort worth's completely safe.

You're fine. I don't know. We had a fugitive in my neighborhood, our neighborhood, last night. Yeah? Where's that? Out in Aledo? It's a good neighborhood. But, yeah, this guy, like, crashed his car in our neighborhood and was, like, hopping in a bunch of houses being built, dodging the cops.

They had a police helicopter. Nice. Yeah. Live action out there. Yeah. Nice. Did you get outside outside did they issue a stay in your house or no it was all through like the facebook group you know everybody posted and

you know what they thought were updates there but uh yeah apparently he's still at large i don't know oh wow they hadn't caught him yeah i know and there's people's you know camera videos of him like doing handstands down the sidewalk. I don't know. He was on something. Hell yeah. Damn. He's still out there. Apparently, yeah. He needs an early bird CBD

to settle down. Alright, McDowell, that's the news. Three stories. That's all you get. The Dumb Zone News. Like and subscribe. I would like to tell you that today in history is going to be brought to you by Prosper Ford and Grapevine Ford.

I'll throw them in as well just because that's what I've been dealing with for over a decade now, Grapevine Ford. as well, just because that's what I've been dealing with for over a decade now, Grapevine Ford. But Chaz Gilmore, who owns Grapevine Ford, finally got to build his own dealership from the ground up, make it the perfect dealership, and that is

Prosper Ford, which is on 380 and the Tollway, or you go to prosperford.com. How about that? Awesome. Hey, thanks, man. go to prosperford.com. The Dumb Zone presents Today in History. I just want validation. From me?

Yes. What's that thing called if you just eat once a day? OMAD. Love it. OMAD. You're going to do it? No.

Intermittent fasting. I'm not OMAD. You're going to do it? No. Intermittent fasting. I'm not doing that. I like eating. It ain't cheating. No. Eating's fun. Like, I've got my routine down, and I don't like varying from it. I guess if you're Derrick Henry, eating is cheating.

Before 5 o'clock. Yes. Who would do it before 5 o'clock anyway? Yuck. Let's see. The last time I had sex before 5 o'clock was probably when we were trying to have baby number... One of the babies. I can't remember. Yeah.

But my wife, you know, there was a time when she can get pregnant more or something. You know, I don't know. Ladies know that thing. And then it was like before work. And I used to wake up really late. There was very little time before, you know, I would go in. I just would be up till 3 and you know get up real late and then just whatever time i could just have a half hour or something and so that was it and

she's like oh blah blah blah since you you're leaving tonight you can we and i'm like it was so cold and impersonal yeah just her saying hey since you leaving tonight, can we go do it now? Like I put the towel on the bed or something. She gets it all ready. And I'm like, this is not – all you have to do – there's a magic way to make us have sex with you. Like it's really easy. And it's not logic. No. All you have to do, you know, just get down there,

start messing around with it, whatever. You can just, all you, you don't have to say anything. You're ruining it by talking. You always ruin things by talking. Just fire that top off. Just start it rolling. Get it rolling. With me,

I can't just put my hand down her pants and all of a sudden she'll be like oh okay let's go now she'd be like what are you doing but if she the other way around if she just kind of slides her hand down we're rolling i'm in let's go that's all you have to do that's how easy it would be but now that you talked about it and then you set it up and then you're laying there, okay, let's go and I'm standing there like, ah. So what'd you do? Well, I probably ended up doing it. I faked it.

And she got pregnant anyway. That's right. How'd that happen? So never like a Saturday morning thing or nothing? These days? No, dude.

Now I get up too early to do it. I'm not going to do 6.30 in the morning. He's out doing marine stuff at 6 in the morning. It's all like, because then, I don't know, I'd have to ask her to go brush her teeth first or something, you know? You're a Saturday morning guy, though, huh? Interesting. Me?

Yeah, I'd like to hear that on the weekend check. No, my wife has worked every Saturday. I'm asking for you. This is not my story. It's your story. Sounds to me like we're talking about you. Saturday morning, good times? Yeah, weekend morning for sure.

Okay. That's how you start your weekend. Yep, yep. Let them sleep in and yep. You got to make sure they don't walk in the room. That's a bad bit. Yeah. Haven't had that happen yet.

Or your dogs. The dogs are always in the room. They're always. What are the dogs thinking? I don't know, but they know. They're probably thinking you're doing it wrong. They know something's up. Yeah, they're like, wait. She's supposed to face the other way. Yeah, at some point they'll be don't know, but they know. They're probably thinking you're doing it wrong. They know something's up. Yeah, you're like, wait.

She's supposed to face the other way. Yeah, at some point they'll be like, okay, that's right. She's supposed to be looking at the Stepbrothers poster. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, done already? They're trying to figure out how to turn on the hose and put it on us. You ever hose a dog?

No. No. Oh, we did that growing up. I've seen it happen, yeah. Because our dog wasn't fixed. He was a boy. And he would just try to impregnate all the neighborhood dogs. And then I saw our neighbor hosing my dog and their dog off,

trying to get them apart. Can you imagine that? He's finally hooked up. And someone hosed me down. What if that happened to us? When we finally score. Here we are. We're doing it. And someone comes up with down. What if that happened to us? When we finally score. Here we are, we're doing it, and someone comes up with a big fire hose. The equivalent size of a hose to my little dog.

That would be like a fire department showing up in their truck. Fireman busts in and hoses you off. And now you're left. You can't, you know, you can't stop me mid-thing. That's a bad bit. Poor dogs. So on this day in, excuse me, in 1908, legendary game, where Giants pitcher Christy Mathewson.

You heard him? Yes. So is Blake. I'm asking Blake because he hasn't heard of anything. Didn't you say 1908? You've never heard of Christy Mathewson?

No, of course not. Wow. That's a kind of a legendary name. Nope. Nope. I'm a baseball guy. I've never heard of it.

No one. The crap. Colby. All right. I've never heard of it. No one. The crap. Colby. All right. I've heard the name, but I could not tell you what decade he came from. I can't tell you anything about him. I think he's a pitcher, right? Hall of Famer.

Well, I did just say Giants pitcher, Christy Matthews. I wasn't listening. And Cubs pitcher, Three Finger Brown. That sounds like a move in bed. That has to do with how he would treat the ladies. That's why she didn't get pregnant. Three-finger Brown. In the most controversial game ever played.

So score is 1-1. There's two outs in the last of the ninth. Runners are on first and third. Al Bridwell hits a single. The runner on third scores. So they win the game. However, the runner on first, Fred

Merkel. You've heard of Fred Merkel? Yeah. He failed to touch second base. Apparently, the single was hit, the crowd is rushing the field,

and the, you know, whatever, so he doesn't touch second base. The crowd is rushing the field. And the, you know, whatever. So he doesn't touch second base. The runner scores. So one of the players on the other team, Johnny Evers, from the Tinkers to Evers to Chance. You ever heard of that? Double play combination. You've never read a thing about baseball history.

Not in 1908. It's like the only thing you know about the 1900s. Tinkers to Evers to Chance. The early 1900s. Andy's nodding. Now, are you nodding because Blake is right? No, I've heard of this play. Now you're talking about it. Thank you.

Anyway, Johnny Evers finds the ball, tags the bag. The umpire was actually watching. They call Merkel out. The game is ruled a tie. They end up having to replay the game from the beginning. And, of course, the other team wins, and the Cubs end up winning, and the Cubs go to the playoffs

instead of the Giants. And that, from that day forward, was known as Merkel's Boner. Which is funny. See, that's why I remembered it as a kid. Because I could say Boner in class. On this day in 1978,

Angels 27-year-old outfielder, Lyman Bostock, is killed by a shotgun while riding in a car in Gary, Indiana. The shot was meant for one of the other passengers in the car. Now this would lead to... Somebody was still shooting at the car, right? This would lead to an online fight. Facebook fight. Was it Facebook?

Between Jamie Newberg and Chuck Cooperstein many years later. I don't recall. Do you? The modern day player who died. Oscar Tavares. Okay. Who was a real hot prospect minor leaguer. Yeah, for the Cardinals.

He died, tragically. Not happily. He died tragically. And Jamie Newberg posted that his son was really broken up,

Jamie Newberg's son, and that this is his Lyman Bostock, or Bostock, I don't know how to pronounce it. Personally, I never heard of the guy. But, so then Koop jumped in saying, well, it's not a fair equivalent. Tavares is a prospect. Bostock was already a major league player, an established major league player.

Basically insinuating, your son's stupid. He shouldn't be sad. And Jamie went back at him with, hey, he's like 10. It was one of his, you know, for some reason he was a fan. I'm just saying that that's the sadness I felt is equivalent to the sadness he felt. And Chuck, instead of being like, oh, he came back at him like, well, look, if you have four years of Major League ability and he's hitting three. You've got to be kidding me.

It was a big argument. It was hilarious. Anyway. Oh, my God. That is so Coop. It's awesome. On this day in 2011, Mike Medano retired. I don't think Coop detects tone.

Do you? Signing an honorary one-day contract so he could retire a member of the Dallas Stars. Do you like that bit? One-day contracts? So he can retire with that team's uniform? Because he was with the Stars for 20 years, he went to the Red Wings for one year. Would the ticket sign me to a one-year contract?

So you can get your name on the plaque? Hopefully years from now, whenever I officially retire or hit the lottery or something, would they allow me to retire as a member of the ticket? Can't you just claim it? With full benefits. Why do you have to retire as that team member? It's just performative.

That's what I thought. You don't have to. I think it's silly. That's what I thought. You don't have to. I think it's silly. And on this day in 2017, President Donald Trump tweeted that Steph Curry of the Warriors was no longer invited to the White House.

Curry had previously said he didn't want to make the visit to the White House. So Trump tweeted out, uh-uh, well, you're not invited anyway. So you can't refuse my invitation because you're not invited. But he invited the rest of the team. Isn't that hilarious?

So good. And famous wedding on this date in 1996, Gary Busey was 52. He married Tiana Warden. She was? 25. 38. 29.

Not bad, right? That's acceptable. Yeah. 52 and 29? Yeah. That's great. They were married at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas. Really?

Isn't that sweet? Gary Busey was married at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas. Really? Isn't that sweet? Gary Busey was married at the Meyerson? I talked to Gary Busey last year. Just called him? Yes. Somebody got me his phone number. And I called him and wanted him to be on the show. Was he cool?

He was not cool. Did he ask you how you got the number? I don't recall. But he ranted a bit and he wanted money. And so I gave him an offer that I wasn't going to follow up on. I said, I think I started with $500. And he kind of laughed that that would just be silly. He couldn't do that.

And then proceeded to tell me about his life's journey and visions. And he's really like out there now he's got theories on the world and why we live and molecules and it's like it was really it would have been great to have him on the air and he goes uh i think i upped it to a thousand knowing well i'm not going to pay him anything anyway i'll just tell him and then uh he wouldn't take that either how high did you go you stopped at a thousand i think i stopped at a thousand and i realized i've been on the phone with gary bucey for 45 minutes and i just wanted to get off i should have just recorded that i told him to i know i was sitting in the car i still got his number maybe he could really need he might really need the money now. Try the original offer again.

All right, fine. I'll do it. Not a lot of birthdays. John Harbaugh, 62. Tony Mandarich, 58. How does Harbaugh celebrate his birthday? Does he go to Golden Corral? It seems like

he's that kind of guy. He has to do the same thing, right? Every year? Yes. That's Jim Harbaugh, right? Wait. John Harbaugh's... Wait, which one's... Which is the good Harbaugh? Which is the

Ravens coach? Is the bad Harbaugh? Which is the Ravens coach? He's the bad Harbaugh, right? He would be Jim, right? Jim is the Ravens coach? John. John is the Ravens coach. Yeah. Okay, so John, it's his birthday.

Oh. Well, he's boring. Bruce Springsteen, 75. Jason Alexander, 65. Really? Seinfeld guy? Yeah. Okay.

Does that seem old? I would have not been surprised if you told me he was 72. Oh, okay. You're saying that's young. Yeah. Lazy Bone is 49. He must have been young when that was on. From Bone Thugs and Harmony.

He was young when that was on, but he looked old because he was bald. Right. Yeah, that's what it is. He was 30 back then, right? Like, I used to say when I worked with Bob, like, if you are in your 20s and you're going bald, you're very upset right now.

So I'm sorry, and I can sympathize, because when you're going bald, that's all you think about. That's all you look at in the mirror. That's all you notice on other dudes eventually you're gonna feel great about it you're gonna be free of all that worthless hair those dead molecules that are on top of your head but if you go bald in your 20s again you're really depressed but then once you're in your 40s people are gonna tell you how awesome you look

like they can't believe how great you look and it's because you look like you looked in your 20s right so bob and i stay the same age forever bob was in his uh late 20s i was 30 when we first started together then we'd see somebody you know 15 years after that we'd see somebody, you know, 15 years after that, we'd see somebody. Well, then I was going bald 15 years later. And they would look at Bob and say, man, you look great. You haven't changed a bit. They'd look at me and they'd

go, oh, hi. Hello, Dan. Great to see you. Good to see you. You okay? You got cancer or what? Yeah. Are you okay? I've bounced back from that you? You okay? You got cancer or what? Are you okay? I bounce back from that because I eat once a day. OMAD?

OMAD. I remembered. From three minutes ago. It's incredible. You're going to look like Derrick Henry in no time. That's right. Hauling chains around the house. Carl Pilkington is 52. Carl's from the British office? That Carl that's in that Ricky Gervais buddy?

He is Ricky Gervais' buddy, but he's not in the office. What's he in? He's just on his podcast. He's hilarious. And Sean Spicer is 53. He was the White House press secretary that ate lots of gum. Old spicy. Didn't he like swallow gum?

That was his bit. I think before Trump, I never knew who a press secretary was. Like I didn't, not that I care now, but I didn't care and I just never heard of them. And then it became a huge thing under Trump. Born on the Stay Now Dead, Ray Charles. Mary Mallon, who is known as Typhoid Mary. You don't want to be known as that. No.

And Marty Schottenheimer. Dead on the Stay Still Dead. And Marty Schottenheimer. Dead on the stay still dead. Lyman Bostock. Sigmund Freud. And Chief Dan George. Sigmund Freud was a major cocaine addict.

Did you know that? No, really? Sigmund Freud was a major cocaine addict did you know that? no really? so all of our modern therapies its foundation is made of bricks of cocaine like if we looked back at everything he was saying does it all seem cool or was he saying

like you know whatever homosexuality means is it mental disease or whatever they used to say. Was he real out there? Maybe at the time, but no, I think

we still stick with stuff he says. People that are very progressive, modern psychiatrists and therapists are, I mean, they don't. They're still on board with having me too, Freud? No, they don't. They're still on board? Yeah.

They haven't MeToo'd Freud? No, I don't think so. Okay. And that was Today in History. How about that, guys? A Cowboy Monday. We've lifted the somber mood, and more positivity is ahead. You know, they have a game in three days.

I know, Thursday night. That's pretty sweet. So we're doing picks Thursday now, right? I believe so. Yeah. Okay. We are at that point, Andy. Do you know where we're at?

Yeah. I think the 690 sit-in, end of the show, final thoughts, right? Closing remarks. Or closing arguments. Closing arguments, all right. Closing remarks. Who are the guys you brought with you? So like I said at the beginning, we were going to have a lot more people,

but I got my neighbor Connor here and his buddy Colby, who I don't know that well, but they're over here. Did Colby go to A&M? No, Oklahoma State. I know that because we talked, but they're over here. Did Colby go to A&M? No, Oklahoma State. Okay. I know that because we talked about it on the way up. And I always only think of that because of Colby from Dude Perfect. I went to A&M.

Colby. Oh, did you? Okay. Did you get your ring? Not on, but I do have one. Two percenter? No, just don't wear the heavy hardware all the time just for special occasions, you know. I'm glad we got this done finally Finally. It's been a while. Yeah. Email in April,

I think July was the original date, but, uh, definitely worth the wait. Um, big fan of you guys. It's been awesome having Danny here. That was a, actually a, uh, made it even more special, I think. And, uh, yeah, I don't know. I've kept a bunch of notes over this whole wait, like, oh, here's what I want to talk about, you know, but now it doesn't seem like any of that makes sense. So non sequiturs, I could give one topic up. You guys are always talking about age differences with the male older than the female.

So I'll open this up. My wife is like 16 years older than me. So I'm 35, she's 51 wow right so what do you guys think about that i'm on board i love it jake is heavily on board with that yeah yep yep so she could teach you so much yeah yeah yeah uh did you say you have kids together we do yeah we have a daughter together yep yep. Okay. 51 and 30? 35. 35, okay. Yeah, when did you get together?

Yeah, did she? I was 23 or 24. She was my first boss, actually. That's how that happened. Oh, nice. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And I know you have a story from college or something, Dan, about hooking up with an older lady, right?

I think I was 19 and she was 33. What was your nickname for her? I don't know. I don't know if I had a nickname for her. I mean, I've thrown around different nicknames for fun. I thought it was a comment about her skin. Oh, it was Pulley. Pulley?

So in my head, that's what I would think about her skin. It was pulley because it was like – it wasn't – I guess if you get older, it just – your skin becomes a little more loose. Or pliable. Yeah. But in my head, when we were together and I'd be – feel her arm or whatever, doing it, something, I thought her skin was pulley. Like it was, like to me, it was just, that's the largest age.

So what is that? That's a 14-year age gap. Yeah. And you're at 16. 16, yeah. Okay. Yeah, I thought she was like a real woman. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

My wife was. I was, you know, just straight out of college still still very much a young guy you know that's when you first started dating yep yep i was 23 24 she was almost 40 yeah and stayed together the whole time we had a up and ups and downs but yeah pretty much we've been together uh about 13 years now did Did you propose to her? Yeah, but I just did. We actually got married two years ago, so it was a long time of, you know, living in sin.

Right. How old is your kid? Eight. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Was that planned? No.

Okay. No, but it's great, you know. It's never a bad thing after you have the kid, you know, but, uh, yeah, not planned, but, uh, you know, we both have really stable jobs and everything. And, uh, so it wasn't like a really stressful, we still work at the same company together. Uh, but not, not like in a reporting relationship. Do you feel like she groomed you? No. What's interesting is she interviewed me for coming out of school and worked under her for about a year. Then I got hired as a temp for full-time.

Then I got hired full-time. Then we went out in downtown at the old Fox and Hound they used to have down there to celebrate. My parents were there. I grew up in Flower Mound. They came down. And then that was the night I kind of, you know, hit it off. But, yeah, no.

What's the age difference between her and your mom? Maybe about the same. Maybe they're about 15 years. Okay. Okay, and that's not uncomfortable then. No. Yes. Well, my dad thought it was awesome at the time.

Like he loved it. Brazilian boss, you know, uh, he was a pilot, so he, yeah, he could get behind that. Uh, my mom didn't really love it, you know, but now, now they, they get along really well. And, uh, yeah, that's all, you know, time, time changes a lot love it, you know, but now they get along really well, and yeah, it's all, you know, time changes a lot of things, you know? Has there been anything uncomfortable about it, or any weird moments? Yeah, I mean, yeah, like any other family, there's some ups and downs with it, of course, but, yeah, nothing that any other family wouldn't have, you know?

Okay. Yeah. That's great. that any other family wouldn't have. Okay. Yeah. That's great. It's so funny that we're spending time talking about something because the roles are reversed.

But if it was a 51-year-old dude with a 35-year-old girl, it wouldn't even blink. Yeah. The only interesting part is it's less about the age and more about when her parents come up, her mom will spend all summer with us from brazil but she doesn't speak any english so like the whole arguing with your wife in front of your in-laws great in-laws because it's in the coffee you want or in the morning you want coffee in the evening you want a beer that's about as

much portuguese as i know and uh oh that's right so it's good but you know arguing in front of in front of these in-laws that don't speak the language is interesting, too. They could pick up on the tone, but not the actual language. So that's interesting. Yeah. So you sometimes just try to keep the tone cool, but you're saying something negative? That's right. Okay.

I'm surprised that after— Wow, the house looks like shit today. All right. I'm surprised that after as the house looks like shit today. All right. I'm surprised. After as many years as you guys have been together, you don't speak like – I figured you'd be fluent in Portuguese. I know a little bit more than I'm letting on, but I can understand everything, but I have to respond mostly in English.

Speaking, it's a lot more challenging than understanding it. I think that's true with any language. Yeah, it's like weird Spanish. Yeah. Yeah. Crazy. And where do you work or do you not want to say um i won't name the company but uh it's a large medical device pharmaceutical company in fort worth um and so yeah he makes bedpans dan yeah yeah it's yeah pharmaceutical no no uh manufacturing and quality assurance is what i'm in but uh but yeah make make drugs are you an engineer uh i was biomedical science was my degree but pretty much everybody i work with is either engineering or science yeah okay aggies they're big on engineering. Big time. So they say.

I love a good ag. You know? When did you graduate from there? December 2010. Yep. You think Jimbo's the answer? What? For, you know, the year that we finished.

Remember that year? And then Notre Dame went to the playoff, and then they got smoked. That was hopeful. Then we signed them to that mega contract extension, and, yeah, saw how that went. You happy you get to play Texas again? Yeah, I am. So I was at the last game. It was my senior year. Justin Tucker.

We lost at home, and so, yeah, it's awesome they're bringing it back. It was a shame that they didn't have it all those years. Tickets are insanely expensive though, so I don't know if I'm going to be able to make it or not. This year's game? Yeah. Like secondhand market, I don't know, it's $700 for the cheapest one right now. Yeah, I would imagine. Plus UT's

great. Yeah. Be great year to spoil that. Would be. Would make the rest of the year worth it. There's no chance though, is there? Is it at Aggie? Yeah, it's at home. They have one extra man there. And other teams. That's their advantage.

That's awesome, dude. That's some nice closing remarks. I think the Reddit page will like that. Do you ever look at that? I guess I will tonight, you know. Others have come in saying they complain about the Reddit page being too harsh on the sit-ins. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm on there occasionally.

I don't participate, but yeah, I'll just check it out, try to see what kind of scoop there is for Jake out there. A lot of conjecture. Yeah, yeah. Well, you kind of asked for that. I do not support that at all. Do not. You know what?

On our new site, dumbzone.com, you should not go into the chat and wildly speculate about the whereabouts of Jake because you might step into a bear trap. But again, that is the fun with wild speculation. That's right. The potential for a bear trap. Well, I'm glad we never said, like, we hated Latin wives or older wives or whatever. All right.
