Yo, what's up? It's Shadi.
How's it feel?
Pretty hot, pretty sexy.
The beginning threw me off.
I expected to hear the other thing.
I got a new theme song.
I guess this is the first day it actually played at the beginning of the program.
I got a roast twin review.
Oh, no.
We were riding hot.
vibes were immaculate.
No, I sent her one of the roast twins.
The film school one.
I sent her the old open and the new open.
Just call her the more judgmental one.
Yeah, she is...
That's what film school means.
She says the new one is so much better.
Okay.
Now, she didn't say it's good.
Nobody move.
That's the closest thing to a compliment that we've established.
She at least likes it more than the other one.
blowing up with the zoomers.
I love it.
Did she say it sounded dark and hype?
Why do you all just mock me?
Anyway, how's it going, everybody?
It's business Wednesday, but we're on the air because we had a day off on Monday.
So I am Dan McDowell.
I'm Jake Kemp.
I'm T.C. Fleming.
We also have Foodie C.K. here.
Yeah, what's the with this pretzel bun at CFA?
You guys know about that action?
Blake's heavy on it.
Really?
What's CFA?
Chick-fil-A, idiot.
That's a dumb question.
Chick-fil-A idiot.
This is who I work with.
Okay, I just saw the pretzel bun add over the weekend and was like, yeah, that's on the menu.
Wendy's had one for a while.
I loved it.
So the bun is a pretzel?
Well, you've never heard of like the pretzel bun or potato bun.
It's got a slight pretzel flavoring.
Yeah, it's a little salt.
It's not like the actual.
Dorito is the shell.
Did you have that idea?
Somebody was once telling me they had that idea.
No, I invented YouTube TV, and maybe YouTube in general, but I didn't...
I used to put meat in between two Doritos.
No, that wasn't me.
Okay.
That was not me.
Anyway, TC, welcome to TC today, filling in for Blake.
Welcome to TC, indeed.
Blake is on a Cowboys charter.
Which I know the chat right now is hop and peeved about.
because producer extraordinaire Blake yesterday set the table for all of today's show to be about a homeless Angelo update.
Yeah.
And he's not here.
And then instead we got a guy that you would never give money to.
You wouldn't put him on retainer.
That's what you think about me?
That's right.
Angelo would see you and be like, here, dude, here's a few bucks.
Dude, here's the thing that you're forgetting.
I'm Dr. Charity.
I think, I don't know if it's just.
generational because Blake's not even what I would call like a political guy or really
interested in society but I think our generation has a lot more guilt your generation seems
much more comfortable and older with just being like if you junkie get him out of the way
and for like that's what I'm saying is Blake they spotted Blake and we're like look at
I feel like that's more of my parents than well at least I don't know I just you assuming TC's
most people my age I was I thought I was doing a little comedy with TC
I was trying to do a disheveled guy comedy, although he looks really put together today,
but that Angelo would be offering him money.
Okay, because...
But it just went over everybody's head to where this is a Dan's criticism of TC and his whole life...
No, no, I'm not saying that.
I just think I've changed a lot in the last five years and you're not...
I'm just saying that I could see you looking at TC and being like,
boy, that's a guy who's not going to give a homeless person money, based on some other comments he's made.
But I don't think so.
I feel like T.C. would give a homeless person.
I feel like T.C. is not good to this money, so he would probably give him a lot of money.
He would be like, yeah, whatever. I'll get more later somehow.
But no one, no one, any generation, is putting them on a stipend and giving them a monthly allowance and then giving them treats on top of that.
So I did call Blake just now as he's about to board the plane.
he said the only update was that he put the $100 on September 1st
and that the morning of September 1st,
Angelo hit him up and was like how much is on there
because he knew that it was rolling over the first of the month.
And just that his only other update was the one he shared yesterday,
which is that he several times throughout the month of August
asked Blake for more Waterburger gift cards
because Blake had received some of those,
I believe probably from Sean Kernan.
and I think
Angelo thinks he works for Waterberger
but other than that
we have no money spent through two days
or 36 hours
How much rolled over?
Oh, we were done
August 15th
Oh, okay
Yeah
Yeah, he
he busted right through
So we'll have to get more
when Blake is back
I think that's a pretty big achievement
by Angela to make it to the 15th
I recently gave my child a large sum of money
and it was about an hour.
Yeah, I think we've seen growth.
I think if we were to trace this project,
there has been a little bit of growth.
I thought the Home Depot purchases were a huge turning point.
How old your kid?
Eight?
Six.
Six.
What do you mean a large sum of money?
Well, I, what can she roll through in an hour?
I kind of looked at what the church does to build excitement.
And it seems like their main instrument is on Jesus' birthday.
you give the child gifts
and then they have a positive association with Jesus
and I said what do I need to train my child on
so I give her a large gift
on the first day of Notre Dame season every year
and she'd been wanting a bunch of robux
so we splurged
we went with a $50 worth of robux
because I think it's going to be a big season
I think everyone wants to get excited about it
so he's got to make himself Christ
for the football season
not me CJ Carr
It's genius.
What's a Roebuck?
Or should I just move on?
Robox.
It's the game I've told you about that we don't do.
We had a couple stories.
Like there's a guy who was a Marine who's suing the company because he got raped a bunch of times.
There's a lot of pedophiles on there.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
The place where we're sending one of our daughters right into the...
She's not into the...
I don't think she's into that arm of it.
I don't know.
Okay.
It's not, you know, it's just...
It's a game that involves money.
That I'm suddenly like tipper gore over.
I think it's to get harassed by pedophiles, you would first have to be able to read.
So we're pretty safe.
Nature versus nurture is interesting, but I've always been fascinated by the fact that you two
had a kid at the same time and just wondering, and just knowing different parenting styles, you know, compared to
T.C. you would be like in a helicopter parent, right? I don't think you're a helicopter
parent, but it feels like compared to TCs overall. Now, this is a thought on your overall
outlook of life. I do believe you would give money to homeless people, but I also believe you
believe in extreme freedoms, and let's just, it'll all be fine. The actual experience
has forced me to moderate a little bit, but yeah. Okay. Yeah, and I don't know,
I guess when I was growing up, I thought helicopter parent, I associated that kind of as like the mom
who feels like they need to micromanate,
like not let the kid make decisions.
So I don't know that we do that,
but I will tell you this.
I am a big consequence guy, like big.
I don't hit him.
Like, but I removed.
I think the consequence part of my upbringing was good.
It was just,
I feel like I was taking them lefts and slaps a little too often.
Like, I was disciplined quite hard.
And I, for me, I don't know.
But speaking of moderating as,
you get into the existence of it?
Because I definitely had a theory of, you know what, it's all going to be positive consequences.
You're going to do good things to get your positive consequence.
I will not use negative consequences.
And that lasts about a minute.
Well, can I tell you another problem with that, in my opinion, as we get real gummy thought here,
it's that you're not, it's that it's like anything.
It only works in perfection if everyone's doing it.
Like all of society would have to be thinking that way.
Yeah, but I mean, even at home before they really get to.
It doesn't work.
No, I don't even know because you would have to, maybe you could have to.
Because then TV shows would have to be formed that way.
There would not be.
The grocery store.
Like everything is set up the other way.
Like I don't want to jail.
I don't want a death penalty.
I want me to get something every day I don't kill someone.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And then that's, that will end if I do kill someone.
I think there's ways to work that end.
But of course, that ending if I do kill someone, that's a negative consequence.
I don't want that.
I'm looking for utopia.
Well, can I just tell you like just as a.
now we're doing the personal thing you're an awesome dad like you nailed it and i hear you sometimes i think
it's just reflexively that every parent is like i probably screwed this up that's just how we're made to think
but i look up to you and he looks up to you as a father like at a level that i'm like and i remember
thinking it at the time like i was watching other people parent and being like that's the one i want
that's how i want it to be and so you did a pretty good job i mean for me the moderating part is just
I just don't think people have to be physically disciplined.
And as long as I don't do that.
Yeah, I was quite against that.
Yeah.
Because I was, I was quite the recipient of that.
But my point is you didn't moderate towards that.
No, I mean, you didn't say like, oh.
It didn't, believe me, it runs through your head.
Oh, yeah, dude.
I mean, it runs through your head a lot more.
Yeah.
But what you can't.
A he.
Okay.
What you have to do, though, is if you're going to physically discipline them, do it
before they can remember anything.
I'd like to caution against that.
Do you apply that like a cross-spectrum of experiences,
or do you have any other?
Well, yeah, okay.
Oh, I have to promote our Knockout League.
How does it work?
I need to make sure I'm signed up.
Can you go to Dumzone.com?
Is that how you get in?
That's certainly one way right there.
On the banner, you will see DZ Knockout.
Okay, so yeah, just go there, click there.
You can sign up.
It's 50 bucks.
Half the proceeds will go to charity.
Half will go to the winner.
All you have to do is pick a winner.
I saw somebody emailed like,
there's no indication.
Do you have to pick a spread?
No, it's not against the spread.
You pick a winner.
It sounds so easy.
What was last year's?
I joined me.
24 week one bust.
Dude, there was more than...
The Ravens?
More than 50.
No, it was the Bengals.
The Bengals.
Watch the Bengals.
Be careful against, if you're betting on the Bengals,
early in the season. I think Zach Taylor is like
1 in 10 in September
or something. Like they're a very bad
early season team.
So anyway,
uh, yeah,
half of the money will go to charity. Uh,
we did this last year. It was a grand time,
but most people did bust week one.
Is this the same as Blake's pool?
No. Blake has his own personal
knockout pool. There's a lot going on, but I'm not in a lot
of these. I'm in like, Jared has a pool.
I'm in four knockout leagues.
I love them.
Can I get my money back from Blake then?
Did you think that was the dumb zone one?
Kind of.
I mean, I should have asked more questions if I...
We can ask a guy.
No, he can have my money.
Maybe I'll get the money at the end
because I'll get all the picks right.
And you know, that's one of the things about working here.
Employees can win.
Legally.
I should also promote that Thursday night we're doing a stream
Oh, can I have that piece of paper again?
Yeah.
I wanted to reference that.
So we were talking this morning because we have a stream schedule set up and we were going to do like, oh, let's do a schedule release.
But then Micah got traded to Green Bay.
So the debate this morning, T.C. was, do we switch out, we won't do the Monday, November 17th Vegas game?
we'll do Sunday, September 28th, week four against Green Bay.
Or, so do we either can the Vegas one or do we can the week before Green Bay?
Where the Cowboys face the Chicago Bears.
The various points of argument here are if you move it and you just do, you don't do week 11,
you would be pretty front-loaded.
You'd be doing week one, week three, week four against Philadelphia.
Chicago, and Green Bay.
And week seven.
And week seven.
That's Washington.
Half the games in the first half of the year.
One through seven is not the first half anymore in this bad boy.
This is an 18 week season.
So I know what you're saying, but also.
That's true.
Then you would have a pretty big break between when we do the Cardinal game in week nine.
Well, the real reason I'm asking him those.
The Philly game in week 12.
But I just wanted to put a point on this by saying I wanted to do the bears all the way
because he's involved with us, because it's Ben Johnson, because they're exciting.
But the main argument that we all have to just agree is salient here
is that we should do as many of them during the portion of the season
where Dak Prescott plays football.
Strong point.
That goes down significantly every day after Friday.
Well, you were arguing with me this morning that the end of the year is going to be great.
They're going to be a good team and these games are going to really matter.
I am now doing somewhat of comedy.
in saying that there's no guarantee he's going to get hurt.
My point is, if he plays, they will be good.
And I keep, like, they will, they will be good enough for us to do the game streams.
And this is a larger point about how.
Can he win a shootout?
How messed up y'all's cowboy opinions have gotten.
You don't remember that when they were, in your mind, bad,
when they were going eight and eight every year,
they were playing for the playoffs in week 16 and 17.
So even with, that's what I'm saying they can.
Well, that's because Romo could get in those shootouts.
I've never seen Dak get in these shootouts.
I've seen them pile on big numbers when they're already up by 30.
But whatever the other team's keeping the pressure on.
Yeah, it's a little different.
But I just feel like a back-and-forth shootout, does that feel like Dak's game?
That feels like the Romo era.
I think Dak is completely capable of that, and more so now than he was before.
Because he's going to have to be.
He can't run.
This year is going to be.
terrible defense. I think he's almost where
Romo was. Defense. Towards the
time that Romo retired.
Like he has the answers to the test.
His body just doesn't work. And now
having an actual outside deep
threat
allows he to work. Does he have
the answers to the test?
I mean, I think if you don't think that
he's considered one of like the five
best pre-snap and like
diagnosis QBs, you have an
outlier opinion. Not being a
jerk. I'm just saying the people
people think what does this guy do well? Not much anymore, right? Not running. I don't want to say
not much because he has that part. He's respected as a guy. He's an elite Googler. He is an elite
Googler. He plays for an elite friend and relationship guy. But I'm telling you, people who think
about football nonstop think this guy is the pre-snap guy. And he is the get everything in the
right position guy. That's why I'm saying I don't care that Brian Schottenheimer hasn't called
plays as much as I would if I had a younger quarterback or a quarterback whose strength was not
that. I think if he's playing they're in games. Now, maybe it's not really comedy to say
DAC will be hurt. It's more likely, but we can't plan for that. So I guess I'm trying to figure
out your argument here. Should we do the bears
and Green Bay? Because
you don't want to be front-loaded. The other
factor here is that
there's no way we're skipping Green Bay, so
we've got to make it work. Vegas looks more
boring by the day, and Chicago looks
more interesting by the day.
Thank you.
That's true. The Vegas argument was really
that there's a buy the week before,
and we don't want to be off forever,
but people got stuff to do the later you get
into the November's.
This is more of an off-air conversation.
but I'm out of town on the 28th.
We'll make it work.
Okay.
Do we have a guest?
Where are you going?
Notre Dame plays at Arkansas.
Of course they do.
How many Notre Dame games do you go to a year?
This year we got two because I didn't win the lottery.
I kept on playing the lottery all summer, hoping that I was the plan.
I able to go to all of them.
Unless tonight, kids.
hits? Well, we already played one. So throughout this fall, we've, uh, real lotteries.
We've got announcements coming. We've got announcements coming, left and right. Yesterday, we, uh,
debuted the, uh, new open to the show, played it today. It felt great. It fits well. Uh, and today,
I guess this is actually part two. We will, uh, welcome machine to the program.
Mike Marshall.
Hello. Do you have me?
Dude, I loved your fantasy preview series.
Oh, thank you.
Listen to every second of it.
It was great.
It's fun, man.
We try and do it all in one night, which is probably pretty dumb, but I don't know.
It's a good timestamp for how we feel at that moment.
Yeah, it took me five days to listen to it.
But anyway.
All available on our YouTube page.
That's right.
Yeah.
In a series series, yeah.
And then so Machine's going to join us every week to talk a little.
little fantasy maybe it'll be for five minutes maybe it'll be for four hours uh you know who knows
he's shown he's capable of doing four consecutive hours of fantasy talk um but jake doesn't really play
a fantasy i do you i think it's pretty gay oh okay well lots of other people do i'm trying to
get into it this year and uh we'll get you there and the question was like should you
really talk fantasy after the drafts and then before week one and I said yeah it seems like
the waiver wire is pretty active it's odd but I guess things happen at the very end of
training camps and whatnot so we welcome machine on today to tell us what we need to know perhaps
about the waiver wires which are generally I think Wednesday evening yeah they can run at different
times depending on your league. He usually opens Tuesday following a Monday night game. But
this is an important time of the season because depth charts are getting released. You're seeing
who's playing with the starters coming out of preseason week three. That matters a lot. Guys are
getting cut. Guys are getting traded. Teams are telling you exactly what they want to do with their
mixture on offense, most importantly for for fantasy purposes. But yeah, I'll give you some
recommendations here. If that's
alright, some dudes that
not necessarily for TC or J because they're
not qualified in this
practice, but for anybody
out there listening.
So there's a couple of
just check.
See if your league sleep it on these guys
kind of guys
probably
already added in your league
but if they're not, jump on that
and I'll give you the idea
is here's a guy that I think
is probably going to be, you know, worth starting at some point in the season.
Here's a recommendation for how much fab, which is free agency auction.
Dollars, most league, start with 1,000.
But I'm going to give you a percentage of your fab that you're supposed to put on a guy
to most likely at least be competitive in winning the bid for him.
And then Thursday morning, you might wake up with a new shiny toy on your roster.
So first guy, I talked about him last time I was on, I think,
and in the preview, Jacori Kroski Merritt for the watch.
Washington commanders.
They liked his preseason so much that they traded Brian Robinson, got him out of the way.
And the primary competition against him is Chris Rodriguez, who's been there a while and really
hasn't done anything.
And Austin Eccler, who is slower than hell at this point in his life.
So he's also an ultimate mystery box guy because he can catch balls, but then he missed,
I think, the final year of his college season because a really weird eligibility issue
of somebody wearing his exact number at Arizona
and the NCAA not figuring it out.
And so they were like, no, you were playing, dude.
And he's like, no.
So big mystery box guy can catch balls out of the backfield
and Washington has shown you that they want to get him more work
by the decisions they've made in training way of Brian Robinson.
So I'd say, I'd recommend like 45% of your free agency dollars that you have right now.
He's most likely already added, but.
Yeah, I was going to say,
He was definitely a mid-round pick in our, or whatever, eighth round or something,
you know, once you start getting into your even second running backs and whatnot.
Yeah.
Bill, that rise, yeah, Bill, the rise of Bill was kind of late.
So depending on when you drafted.
Yeah, right?
Yeah.
So he was available in one of my leagues this morning, but I was very surprised.
It took literally 70% of someone's budget to win him, which is nuts.
But it was an overbid.
Yeah.
Not sure that I've ever heard.
of the, let's say, black first name for a black guy, Jacori.
And his go-by is just Bill.
Well, I think he does bits.
Okay, but if you're able to do bits enough to where they, people start calling you Bill, I love that.
Yeah.
Like, when's the last time you heard of a guy named Roshan who was like, just call me Steve?
Right.
Now, I'm a fan.
Also, you're not in all, you're not in all auction leagues, are you?
No, no, I don't really do auction.
league because they take too much time and like doing them in person is key for me. I hate doing
an online auction. I've done them before and it's just like your computer cuts out for a second
and you're somehow auto-bitted like $55 on somebody. I think it sucks. But I do enjoy the experience.
I just don't have a league that I'm in yet that we get together every year and do an auction on.
Are you the one? No, but you were just mentioning the way you're framing this is like you're
in an auction league. You got to have a certain amount of fab to bid on it.
guy where it might be waiver wire might be traditional waiver wire where like worst record or
least points rolls over but most leagues that are for money now I think they do um free agency
auction uh dollars which the figure can change it can be 200 to a thousand to 2,000 it's just like
a made up whatever number but it's a percentage that I usually work off of um so that's that's what
I'm recommending as percentages so you have something to play with so thousand thousand free agent bucks
Okay.
Say that's a $450 bid.
Okay, so Bill is your number one guy?
Bill's number one if he's available.
Ali Gordon, the running back from the Dolphins, would be my number two guy, probably owned.
But you never know.
You can catch people sleeping all the time.
A-Chane is already dealing with an injury.
I know he's back at practice, but he gets banged up a lot.
Another guy that had an incomplete college profile, so he kind of got slept on a little
bit in the draft because the last season at Oklahoma State really, really sucked. But literally
like 16 months ago, we were talking about him as the best player in college football. Like he was
like Heisman frontrunner going into his senior season. And the dolphins are really good
backfield to own pieces of. They are top five in high value touches per game. They deliver
consistently, whether it's Mostert or A chain throughout the years. Like owning pieces.
of that backfield and not the most valuable
or the most pricey one
has delivered year after year.
So I'd recommend 20% on
Ollie Gordon from the Dolphins
if you got it if he's available.
Do they have fantasy leagues
where you get more yards or you get
more points for first downs?
Like it's weighted D-D-O-A or
EPA-wise?
Not that nerdy, but they
have started introducing
first downs.
Most scoring system standard across
like fantasy is kind of PPR, which is points per reception.
And then a lot of people, a lot of sites have, but it's what the sites adopt, right?
If it's not functional for you to do it automatically, then no one's going to like just
do it by hand or anything like that.
So sites have been working in first down, points per first down, and that is heavily slanted
toward running backs, as you might imagine.
So some leagues, I'm not in a first down league.
want to introduce it of I put it up for a vote on a lot of leagues of like can we do a half
point per first down just to make it more fun and more balanced but just depends how tricked
up you what your scoring system do you want a tight-in premium scoring do you want a point per
reception do you want a first down like and then there's these things called kitchen sink
leagues where they just throw every freaking rule you can think of at it and it's like it makes
it impossible to kind of like tabulate in your head when you see somebody break off a 20 yard
reception. You're like, was that a first
down? Was that a, was that a catch? Was it a
you know? Interesting. All right. I don't
want to derail you. That's the fun. I yet. But I'm interested
in that part of the industry, but
continue. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. We'll get to. I mean, it's one of those things
they introduce in a couple of years. It'll be
norm, right? Um,
so another guy, check if he's available.
These are like more midrange guys.
Enoch Eo Menor out of
the, uh, at a Tennessee Titans. His name's
weird as hell. But, uh,
he's a Stanford wide receiver.
big dude deep ball threat uh just see if he's available in your league i would recommend probably
less than 5% on him had a really good preseason and people don't like to admit it because it's
not super fun uh but the second ball catchler in tennessee delivers it happened last year
whenever nick westbrook akine was getting there uh he had like i think six straight weeks of
of 10 plus points and a touchdown every other week there's going to be somebody in the titans past game
that's going to catch balls from Cam Ward
who is rising and
a recommendation as well if he's available
but it's a gross team
and no one believes in it
but there's still value there
to find the Tennessee Titans
second pass catcher
whether that is the tight end or it is
a yeoman or we'll see
but that's less than like a 5%
bid so a little bit cheaper of a guy
down the list
that's ELEC E LICC
E LIC yeah ELEC
ELEC, an A-Y-O-M-A-N-O-R.
And then the next guy that I have that just is kind of like falling backwards into targets
and into involvement into the Panthers offense is Xavier Leggett.
People probably know him because he is really funny and he does funny hunting videos online
where he's eating like, I don't know, skunk and shit like that.
It's really funny.
Squirrel.
Yeah, he's wild.
But they traded Adam Thielen.
Jalen Coker's on IR.
So those are the two dudes that are in front of him.
He's second in line for targets right now with the Panthers behind Tett McMillan,
who I hope everyone drafted over the last couple weeks coming off my appearance last time.
But he's just falling into targets, former first round pick can play inside and outside.
Recommendations about 5% I think you're fab, if you want to get Leggett.
And these type of dudes, like, I don't know, there's a lot of guys that I'll draft or add heading
end of the season that I'm drafting or adding with the intention of if they don't do what I think
they need to do week one or two, like they're getting cut. Like you have to have some guys that
you're comfortable with cutting. And you didn't invest like top five round picks and you're just
like that's fab dollars. I'll make it up later. Do you like any of those two wide receivers over
Keon Coleman? No, not right now. Maybe after week one. I'm just looking at my lowest ranked
wide receiver and should I make this deal? Okay.
No, not right now. I wouldn't
drop them for Keon Coleman.
Coleman, I really
want to see his usage week one.
I'm saying I already have Keon Coleman. You wouldn't
drop Keon Coleman for them. No.
Yeah, okay. No, no, no. If you invested
in Keon Coleman already, I would hold on
and just see what is
route participation, what his targets are week
one. The last
couple guys are kind of like beat the
waiver wire guys, which are, they're probably
not going to do a lot for you week one, but if they do,
you're not going to be able to add them for anything less than like, I don't know, 40% of your budget, 30, 40% of your budget come next week.
So Woody Marks running back, Houston Texans, not a big fan of his profile, but it feels like Nick Chubb is done.
Joe Mixon might miss the entire season because he had some procedure on his foot that the team did not approve.
So he's on the NFI list, which is non-football injury.
And if they keep him on that, they don't have to pay him.
The Texans O-line is awful, so it might be better than last year, but still, talent-wise, is not very nice.
The O-line's awful, so a lot of pass attempts, I think you're going to throw the ball a lot more than they did last year.
I can see Woody Marks catching, like, five balls in week one, and then everyone's on him heading out of week one.
So, you know, a really low 5% bid on Woody Marks isn't a bad idea.
Same kind of deal for Jaden Blue, our guy with the Cowboys.
I don't really believe in Jamante Williams.
I don't believe in Miles Sanders.
I think they might get, you know, truck-sticked week one against Philly
and be throwing a lot in the fourth quarter.
Jaden Blue catches five balls.
That confirms a lot of priors for dudes that took him like 12th round
and he starts rising up the board and becoming very expensive.
So Jaden Blue, if you have a roster spot,
if you have pretty deep benches,
Jaden Ballou is interesting to me.
and then the last guy I'll throw at you
is a tight end option.
Harold Fanon from the Cleveland Browns.
I think you're going to come out of week one.
Like the nerdy, like slappy community
and fantasy football already loves Harold Fanon.
So they're just like waiting on a reason
to drop a guy for Harold Fanon.
He's probably going to play out of the slot,
probably going to be on the field a ton with Injoku.
Like that's the thing that like, I don't know,
you know, smooth brain,
fantasy drafters are going like, they already have a tight end, as if you can't play two.
So Fandon might not be owned in your league.
I think he's going to play a lot on the field with Injoku.
He's probably their third best pass catcher.
The dude was nuclear in college at a bowling green, like set all the records for tight-in receptions.
And they're facing the Bengals, who I think are going to push the Brown significantly on the scoreboard and dictate the style of play.
think they're going to have to air it out. Harold Fanon could catch like four or five balls
week one and then everybody that already has priors on Harold Fanon is bidding him up and across
the board. So he's a beat the Waverware kind of guy. All right, man. Well, I'm going to, I just
joined a league that I can draft tonight at seven. I'm just going to do bits and have all bench
sleeper guys. What do you know about Isaac Tislaw? Because I am in love with this football player.
I actually had him on my list and I scrolled right by him. Good call. No, he's clear wide receiver three for the lions, I think at this point.
They traded. Score a lot of points. What's his name? What was their third? Yeah, Tim Patrick. Tim Patrick. Yeah. Kid out of Arkansas.
He's physically a beast, not very productive in college, but like it's Arkansas, right? He's a ball winner in the red zone, which I think is something they need in their offense. Like, James and Williams is fun. Jamies & Williams is fun. Like, dude, you need some beef that can go.
go up and get it. And yeah, I mean, I have him on my list here. He's 15% recommendation for
Tesla. And then the one thing I was going to point out is, is heading into next week the thing
that you're going to be looking for to drive decisions. Because I'm a big believer in guys that
you add in week one, week two, week three. That's when I spend most of my fab budget. Because I think
teams are heading into their first test, their first contest, and telling you exactly how they want
their offense to run. Before things get all sideways. Before, before injuries get weird. Yeah.
Yeah, they're telling you exactly what they want to do. This is the clearest message. This is
signal. This is pure signal in the first couple weeks. So route participation. Who's out there on the
field? Who's getting targets? Targets are obvious. Right. If guy gets 12 targets, it's like, yeah,
they want him to get the ball, especially if it's first read targets.
Anybody can look that up.
Anybody can see that.
Most sites have that.
Route participation is super important for young dudes.
Are you out there on the passing place?
Does your team want you out there on passing downs, right?
So route participation is one thing to look at.
And then high value targets.
So before high value touches, sorry, for running backs.
That's inside the green zone, inside the 10-yard line, on third and short.
in leverage situations who's touching the ball at the running back position because this is
week one, this is your best idea, you're throwing your best shit out there before your
offensive line gets injured, before you realize, like, I have to overcompensate for a leaky
defense. This is exactly what you want to do. So the teams are going to tell you what they want
to do stylistically and schematically weeks one, two, and three. Some guys are going to
pop up that we've not pinpointed, that we have no idea about, that a team is
like, yeah, I saw this in practice and this is exactly how I want to deliver. And the other
thing I'll mention is that I think people overrate what defensive matchups you're playing
against how much they matter in fantasy. So there's only, it goes by position, right? So some teams
affect the quarterback more, some teams affect running backs more. There's honestly only about
three or four matchups in the league that have a big effect on your specific position. So
To me, that's like, is it a 1.5 point decline when your position plays this defense?
And obviously, we don't have that because games haven't played.
Last year, I mean, Philadelphia was across the board.
Philadelphia fucked up everybody, where there was a quarterback, running back,
wide receiver, or tied in.
You want to sit those guys against Philly.
Is that defense the same?
Do they let their foot off the gas this year?
Right?
I think after week one and two, you can start making some decisions on what these defenses look like.
But heading into week one, I think a lot of people will look at it and go like, oh, my wide receiver is playing against Denver.
I have to sit that guy.
I don't believe in that.
At least not this early.
Maybe later in the year when they've proven that they negatively affect other teams wide receivers by like two points or more.
Like let's talk about it and let's make some decisions on it.
But there's really only three or four defenses per position.
that affect your scoring on a weekly basis where you should take it into account.
This is why offense is 65% of the predictive nature of the NFL year to year,
but people are like, no, we're going to build a defense.
We're going to build a defense.
So the cowboys are actually smart.
They put all their money on the offensive side of the ball, right?
I think the reason their money goes where it is is because they back themselves into having to do it.
But if you want to give them credit for it, then sure, hell, I'll take it.
Yeah, spending nothing on their D-line is genius.
All right, man.
Well, we appreciate it.
Of course, I got a little basketball question for you here.
I see that PJ Washington just signed a four for 90.
He did.
Okay.
So PJ is going to be in the mix here in Dallas.
And now it makes a lot more sense that Brittany Renner, his Instagram baby mama,
released a video of the two of them fighting over money and where his money is going
and their child, like over the weekend.
I remember seeing that.
Like, why is it coming out now?
I don't know.
Funny how those things time up, right?
And then it smacks you in the face.
Oh, here's $90 million.
That's why his baby mom was shaming him over the weekend on social media.
She's apparently not Muslim anymore, either, by the way.
That was like a six-month, six-month bid from Instagram.
I don't know if she ever did porn, but she was like a big-time Instagram, you know, flusy.
And then she, I don't know, became Muslim for six months and then got back in the game.
Got to reset the date since Brittany Renner was.
Muslim counter.
Roll it back.
It's funny because, like,
teams try to control, like, so much messaging, dude.
Like, they're just, like,
they're people that he was, had a kid with Brittany Rinner?
I mean, she's famous, and I didn't know.
Yeah.
Okay.
It just had never come up.
I don't think that's the lady, I don't think that's the lady he's currently with, right?
No, no, and I know that because Britney Render is trying to fight his current girlfriend in the
video at their house while the kids are.
Get out of the car.
Get out of car.
I don't watch that stuff
but I like I hear
well you know who he's with right
like that was like I don't
basketball wives Dan
she was featured on this show
oh okay not to spill
spill tea
not to spill tea but that was a fun
fun aspect of Christian Woods
experience here
whenever he was here
if you remember him
it was just like
noted focused player Christian
Woods
yeah it's funny how much
like the teams
try to control all the stuff
that gets out about play
just like every organization has like five or six hardos that like think this is the military or something and then like every player if they haven't been in the league for a decade they have seven to 15 people in their orbit that will just tell you the shit like we'll just tell anybody we'll just tell anybody the shit and then it's their currency the fact they had that info is what makes them cool yes they also have social accounts and they they half of their egos
is built on their social account and how many people are engaging with that so they want to share this
stuff as well so it's like it's never ever like stuff coming from the team most of the time it's
people around these dudes that are either hangers on or want to like be famous for 15 seconds and
you can't control that you just can't control for that um but yeah i don't know i got another high
stakes draft tonight so i got to lock back in as i'm tilting my face off as i have like an unnatural
amount of exposure to the
effing jags. Did you like
the guys on the big short?
That's tough. Yeah.
Liam Cohen, baby. Maybe don't like KJ
on your graph. All right. We'll see you.
I love you. So you guys
remember when Donovan... All the Christian Wood stock
I had. Go ahead.
You held it. You were faithful. I'm still holding
it. That's the problem. I never sold.
You know, Donovan, it was not a problem when he
drafted an all-black hockey team, right?
What was the name of it?
NWI.
Was it?
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay.
I don't remember what that was.
It's like NWA.
Yeah, Isaac Tisla.
I'm really into, and he happens to be a white, wide receiver.
Oh, so you're looking at an all-white team?
I'm saying interesting, why everybody, I'm sure, is doing it, but.
Well, no, I think nobody's doing that.
Well, I'm saying as a bit this year, you can finally, and again, a big part of this hinges on,
does Pooka Nakua say the word, as Wilcompton said, and I don't think he does, so.
I think McCaffrey's the difference maker.
The inflection point.
Yeah.
But he's saying, like, when it becomes, yeah, yeah.
So now you've got this guy's.
You have to have one top white running back.
This was big in a Peyton Hillis days.
Yeah, I think that's when we decided.
Which like, that's the end of the list in my lifetime.
Right.
It was in yard white rushers.
But, yeah, I mean, Isaac to Slah, he went to Hillsdale, which is like a conservative.
I mean, then he transferred to Arkansas.
It's as white as it gets.
It's a conservative college that puts out like pamphlets that were in my home growing up.
Then he transferred, dude, you give me a white that runs a 4-43 at 6-4, and I'm a racist because I want that guy to succeed.
It's sad that somebody would call you that.
I wanted to mention we are in our game day men's health studio today.
I don't think we mentioned that yet, but it's like what kind of cancer is in your bottom?
It's prostate cancer, bud.
Prostate cancer month.
Yeah, what does that mean?
Everybody, they're handing it out or what?
No, no, no.
They want you to get rid of it.
Or they're helping you detect it early, and I believe you can get a free screening at game day men's health.
So take this seriously.
Just stop in there.
And they don't, here's another thing that they don't do.
That's what I was about to get into.
Listen, this is not a full spot.
It's a paid show, and I know that that actually bothers people.
We'll do it tomorrow.
I just want to mention it.
They don't use their finger anymore.
Well, so here's the thing I want to say.
They're telling me this on the phone call.
I'm excited.
I had this whole bit plan, and they're like, we don't do that.
Right.
I wanted to say, I'm with, if you know the finger's great, I'm with you.
It's awesome.
It's like the reason I go to get a physical over here.
But, yes, they won't do that.
So, not even if you ask, I think.
Yeah, they may arrest you.
I believe it's a, I believe they can do it very accurately through a blood test, but anyway, it's free.
It is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
Awareness.
We want you to be aware.
If you have it, you should be aware.
Sack it?
Put a cork in it.
You put a cork back there.
Okay.
Because does the cancer get in through the?
Or it's, it's.
Through your butt?
No, like if there was a snake in the toilet.
It seeps in from the outside somehow.
Microplastics, I think.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That is actually a thing, I think.
Anyway.
You're making your taint small.
But yeah, go take care of your prostate.
We'll think about it.
Wipe out prostate cancer.
That's, you know what?
Wipe it.
This guy.
Wipe it off.
The Cowboys signed Hunter Lipke.
I was going to say, so you guys are just saying, speaking of deals, you got to deal with the Mavs.
The Cowboys are.
It's left and right, left and right.
And it feels like every agent of every kind of, you know, the word spare would indicate you're really a bad player.
But just your mid players are like, you know what?
You know who's got money right now?
The Cowboys got a lot of it.
And they want to just.
So Duran Blan, his agent calls him right away like, hey, looks like you could sign some people right now.
Why don't you throw us a little more than the market might give right?
now, and they do.
Boy, I think this is fascinating because it's not just that they're flush with cash.
They are also flush with needing to combat a narrative that they're cheap.
They're flush with bad will.
Right.
And so, you know, I was thinking about this a lot the last couple nights.
We got a few really good emails on this about, you know, in our friend who's the math guy
on how this all broke down.
Because it's common to say, and TC has said this to me a bunch, like quoting our buddy
Chuck. It's just a year ago, him saying there's no way you're going to have DAC the highest
paid, CD, the highest paid, or very close, and Micah, the highest paid at their positions.
This is not going to happen. And now that's where we are. But it could have happened.
It could have happened had they not been so risk averse, and that's part of it, is that when you
have to guarantee money out, that's risk. The Eagles do a lot of it. The Eagles are upside down
as F right now as they shine their rings. The
Cowboys don't like doing that.
I think that's part of it, and then the headline part of it, right?
Keeping it fresh, keeping it, you know, Jerry set it on the blue carpet that night.
The gambler premiered is like, yeah, of course, I love.
So those are the two things we're dealing with here, the publicity and really not wanting to be the gambler and the risk taker as much as they act like they are.
But the funny thing about now is, now that they traded Micah, and there is this perception that they're losing guys and they're flushed.
with money. Now they're going to be
forced to do some of these deals
way earlier than they would want to
because they have no excuse
now. Like they've, I mean,
I guess they can still point to DAC, but Tyler
Smith, I think Tyler Smith's about
to get done. And
the normal way
would have been for him to get done two years from now.
But now, and Durand
Normal Cowboys way. Normal Cowboy way.
Duron Blan, not waiting until after the season.
I mean, that's not that
far ahead, but, you know, it's
I feel like they overpaid for Duranblan.
I suppose it depends on what kind of season he has.
Sure.
And I actually don't know the structure of it because Diggs, they can get out of, I believe, pretty pain-free.
I think Diggs will not be here next year.
Yeah.
You've talked about that before.
So it's not like you're going to be carrying both those cap hits, most likely.
And if you are, then you're, like, thrilled about it, I would imagine.
So I just thought, I found it funny that because they've done this, they did it with Dack,
which is why DAC is so expensive.
They did it with my CD, which is why Micah is so expensive.
And they did it with Micah, which is why Micah got so expensive.
And now, because they did that, and a third of that got lopped off, at least figuratively,
now they're having to do it the right way.
It's just, I don't know, you can only do so many guys, and you're going to be wrong about some of them.
Like, I wouldn't extend Sam Williams.
They could.
Second round pick after two years.
Well, you might wait, see how this year rolls out for sure.
They'll be free.
Well, that's when...
Yeah, that's a good problem to have.
You would love for Sam Williams to put you in a bind by getting 10 sacks this season.
And especially since you have, you just drafted as a Rocco 2.
Yeah.
So did you see what Micah, his quote about being in Green Bay?
I saw the quote and I was not able to quickly track down audio.
Is there any, do you know, or is it just a print quote?
I think it's a print quote
I don't believe this was in his
Welcome to Green Bay Press conference
but the quote is
on being in Green Bay
just focus on ball
I'm going to take a break from everything
so I'm ready to focus on this thing
what it's all about here
it's all about ball
bingo
they pour everything into this
this is probably what I needed in my life
Jesus
this is the classic playbook
every cowboy that's ever left
He said exactly.
Yeah, but would it be the guy that is focused on everything else?
But, like, he's the poster boy for it.
Right, like Dalton Schultz wasn't doing TikTok.
And is like, you know, everybody's over there doing a podcast and stuff.
Now I'm here at a place where we just play football.
By the way, do they do DeMarcus Lawrence different if they know Mike is going to be gone?
I'm not sure.
You maybe keep him here one more year and again, that's the timing.
Yeah, but they have the timing and, you know, they did.
They did draft someone, but maybe, and it may be part of the reason you're moving on from DeMarcus, where, or excuse me, to Marcus Lawrence is you want Micah to take a big step in the locker room.
Yeah.
No, that's, you know, null and void, but you were saying something right before that.
They pour everything in this, probably what I needed in my life, Micah Parsons.
The only other one I can think of is, like, Paul Beasley, going to Buffalo and being like, it's just football here.
I'm like, you have an album that came out last year.
The only other guy like that, yeah.
Yeah, but Mike is so successful and so good, and I just, I don't, that feels like an unnecessary
shot.
How many sacks would he have if he didn't have a podcast?
That's what I'm saying.
Can he be that much better?
It feels like a little bit of a passerby shot taking.
No, he just knows what everyone else says that riles up cowboy fans whenever they leave.
Dude, and I made that point when he did the tweet demanding or saying he didn't want to be here anymore
requesting a trade. He said in that, you know, me and my agent, we went to the Cowboys
after 23 to try to get this done as early as possible when it would be as cheap as possible
because he's online and he knows that that's what all of us are bitching about.
I think, to TZ's point, everything he does, it's like anybody, right? It's, I don't know
if he's doing it because he thinks it or because he thinks that's what people thinks he should
say.
Well, maybe his agent, too, said, let's get some good PR here in Green Bay.
Yeah.
Let's just talk about how they just are about football.
And why don't you lay off the podcast a little bit and just say you're going to focus on football?
That'd be a great way to, you know, because if you just start and you kind of start the season slow,
which you might anticipate you'll do after missing training camp.
Eating injections?
Yeah, having a bad back.
So, you know, let's not be focused on other stuff right now.
You just signed this giant contract.
Let's make everybody love you here.
And speaking of the agent, he was on cold pizza yesterday.
And that guy doesn't speak much.
So I want to play some of it for you because he's going to be, he's the Lee Steinberg of this generation.
I mean, he's the biggest agent in football.
He's like 40.
He what?
He wears a diaper.
Lee Steinberg did wear a diaper.
And all you can think about when you watch the gambler and he appears on screen as Troy Eichmann's super agent.
Dude, I met Lee Steinbeggar.
Millions of dollars in a diaper.
No, so this guy, he's, George Pickens agent, David Mulligat is going to be around.
So I thought there were a couple things on first take that I wanted you guys to hear.
What would you think about jumping in right now and getting Pickens?
Or is that Pickens probably doesn't want to do that.
he's like let's ball out this year yeah because you know and we're making 35 million a year somewhere
i think even if his numbers are not like super crazy because he's a two somebody will be happy
to make him a one yeah it'll be like oh yeah of course he they're not that great they had cd lamb
i think they're bracing for that like knowing he's probably not coming back so yeah do what else we
can let's see what this one is or you got to have to put me up tc i'm sorry um it also could be
my fault. Give me a thumbs up with
As far as Mike is concerned, he was
out of the country. You got a call from
Jerry's assistant and was asked to come
in to meet about leadership. I think he was
in like Dubai, maybe have you heard that?
Why? Why? Why are they all
in Dubai? I don't know, but this is the
March, mid-March meeting.
This is their version of the narrative.
He's out of the country and called back to discuss
leadership. So when he got back from his vacation, he
came in and he gave him a call told him he was back, he was
ready to meet. At some point during
that meeting that was
represented to him about what was going to be about leadership it turned into contract
talk and uh you know if you're a 25 year old football player and your boss who happens to be
the most powerful person in the NFL starts talking about contracts is hard for you to end
that conversation so they had a conversation micha nodded his head out of respect obviously
there's a power dynamic that's a little different there one guy is the owner of the team and
the gym and the other one is michael parsons a young 25 year old football player so i'm not sure
for there was a miscommunication there by the time mic had walked out but at no point did
I could believe that he was negotiated in contract.
This is where I think no one is even broaching being critical of the agent.
And I think when I brought this up the other day, you said he probably tried.
But tried what?
If I'm his agent, I could have seen this storm coming 18 months ago.
How did he not get in his ear and be like, shut the fuck up?
Just stop talking.
Stop talking.
Like when he said, eventually this is going to create a life.
Cowboys for life. Take less money. We want to be out there. We want to be acting, oh, I don't have to break the bank.
Time and time again, any time it came up, he didn't even have to be asked about it.
I don't even believe what he's saying here. Let me go a step further and say talking about other players' money as much as we think it's interesting that he does it. It's a bad bit because now he's money guy.
And even in the ESPN Don Van Natta article that came out, they said that after that meeting, a Cowboys source said he then called Stephen after the meeting and said, can we change the numbers enough?
the guarantee. He started negotiating
on the phone. He asked for
Micah. He asked for several different
elements and increases. This
became a negotiation that
Micah was in charge of.
Now, that's how the Cowboys want you to see it.
So that's their side of the story.
But also, it scans.
Because we've been
listening to everything this guy said for
four years. Micah does view himself
as I'm in charge of this
negotiation. And that's fine. I think he
does. And that's why I don't buy this
what the agent's saying right here.
He's trying to paint Micah is this, oh, this young, he's just 25 years.
Like, he doesn't know anything.
He's just out in Dubai.
He's not paying attention.
He's over here being like, you know, Trey Henderson could 38.3 AAVs.
Yeah, he knows exactly the, yes, the guaranteed money, the average annuity of it, whether it's a four-year, but it's disguised, a six-year disguised as a four-year or whatever, you know.
Like, Micah Parsons is the most well, not well.
Well, versed on all of these items as any player I've ever seen.
Yeah.
And Jerry, well, now this is where we're buying Jerry, too.
Jerry said that as well.
Said it early in training camp, right?
Like, this guy is, he knows what he's doing.
Yes.
Now.
And I do not believe that Micah just went in, oh, it's just about leadership.
Okay, why are they talking about leadership?
Because if we're going to pay you this money, you better be doing some leadership.
I need you to be, I need you to be a guy.
that people follow blah blah blah blah blah yeah that's why yes it all worked together
this does not sound this is not hitting my ears with the ring of truth yeah he's
trying to cover a general 25 year old yes not micha parsons yeah and micha parsons i also
very smart about the game of money also i believe don't want to be taken as uh giving jerry
it out here because even when it got to that point
a sensible person removing emotion from the situation
would have looked at it and said
it doesn't matter that they're telling us this is the starting point
I bet we're going to be around the same number at the end.
The market still is what the market is.
It is.
We're just going to stroke this guy's nuts.
We're going to say we're starting over.
Now, Micah might have told him, look,
I don't have to have every dollar because I need good players around me
because I want to go to the Super Bowl, Jerry.
And now Jerry's saying that back to them.
But yes, and I'll bet.
bet you they are like not their agent yeah and that's where yes david molligetta should have
shaken micah you know months before that and said stop doing any of this dude that's and
start doing watch what dac said every time he was asked about his contract because there's
different types of he said i don't know i'm a player talk to todd this guy he's a professional
that's what he does i professionally do this and that's why he ended up getting that deal and he also
just kind of didn't, he was snarky about it, but he didn't really harp on it when he got
franchised. It's like, all right, and he got injured when he was franchised. And the thought was,
oh my gosh, could that really hurt his value? It didn't hurt his value at all. It is a quarterback,
but I almost think Micah was at a point where, yeah, he would have been, he would have been
fine with that approach. Let me see what this is. You know, we didn't understand why they
wouldn't talk to his agent since I would say probably 99% of the contract.
that are done across the NFL are done with player representation.
This day and age contracts have gotten to a point where they're so, you know, convoluted.
There's a lot that goes into them from guarantee structure to APY, the signing bonuses, to cash flow.
So to expect somebody like Michael Parsons to be one of the best defenders in the NFL and also a great lawyer when it comes to contracts.
You know, I think it's a bit unfair.
You know, his job is to go out there and chase quarterbacks.
And our job is to go out there and chase commerce for him.
I left that in there because that line is a absolute banger.
commas. But he's, again, you've already done the other thing, though. You've already demonstrated
that you'd want to talk about APY and five-year cash flow. Right. That's the thing. Had, again,
if he had said this to Micah and say, repeat this after me, and this is what you say every time
you're asked about it, but Micah did not do that. Yeah. He did look at other players around the
league. He did know, he knew the structure. He knew every second, like up to the minute on who has
recently signed and what they got and blah, blah, blah.
I do agree with Jerry about lawyers, and I think he's showing it there of like all his
lawyers do all day is try to make things look more complicated than they are so they can
justify the use of the lawyer.
Right. Lamar Jackson somehow signed his deal without an agent.
It's just years and money.
Like I'm not entirely dismissive of those other things he's talking about, but at the end of
the day, what you care about is...
Guarantee.
Yeah.
Total money.
Yeah.
It's not that.
And what you're actually going to see.
It definitely feels like an emperor's new clothes job to me at times.
Like if you saw behind it, you'd be like, dude, you're a handler.
This is like basic contract law that the drunk guy who got me out of my parking ticket could have done.
Like once the principles are hammered down, which is APY guarantee in term.
Yeah, I mean, he's making sure he doesn't get totally snowed, like $10 million a year under the annual.
But, you know, for the most, like even the draft, they're kind of slotted, right?
Yeah.
And that's, you know, Jerry made an interesting point in the press conference that Friday night where he was like, you know, for a lot of these guys, this negotiation right here is the first time anybody's ever placed a dollar amount on their worth in production.
Because they're a rookie deal.
They don't negotiate.
And in college, pre-NIL, he's like, so it's a rude awakening for some people.
and they don't know how they're going to react to it.
Now, it's Jerry spin, but it does make sense.
That that is your second time around,
you probably are a little more, I don't know, experienced, obviously.
I think the Duran Blan thing is good
because he's a good player and I want him to stay here.
And I think you need a guy who's a very disciplined-type corner.
Diggs is not that.
And I think Blan, even with Godi interception numbers,
is I've seen him described as a gambler.
I don't see that at all.
And much more boring.
But I told you guys this a couple of weeks ago
that I thought they had big plans for Hunter Lipke.
And I know you're going to laugh at me,
but they just signed him to a deal today.
It's like two for seven or something.
He only plays 25 to 30 snaps a game.
But in my perfect, like when I was creating offenses on video games
when I was a kid.
That's the guy that I want as my lone running back.
I want to, I want that to be my every down back because he can run the ball.
He can catch the ball.
Hunter Lipke.
Yes.
He can run the ball?
He can run the ball like out of the, out of like if you're like a spread run game.
Has he done it before in a game?
That's what I was going to say to you guys is that every time they give him the ball,
he picks its first downs, right?
Like they use him in short yardage, but this is my point.
We say you need a third down.
back. Well, what is the third down back?
What do you mean? It's the blocking
back. Blocking? And catching. Catching a little out of the backfield, possibly.
Picking up short yardage? You don't have that threat.
I mean, it depends.
Because this is my point. Third down back
often means you're in a throwing situation. But he can.
So he is a actual power runner. The dude was an absolute terror
in college. And what I'm saying is if
this guy played for like Mike McDaniel or
Andy Reed or Kyle Shanahan or something,
I'm almost promising you he'd be like a little darling type guy where you're like,
holy shit.
Well, maybe Shottie has something up his sleeve.
And I don't know that.
I don't know that.
But I do know that Clayton Adams, the guy they brought over from Arizona,
the football nerds, I'm sure Bob is on this,
they think very highly of Clayton Adams as like an interesting run game coordinator.
Like guy who does different things in the run.
And I can tell you what Mike McCarthy.
and Jason Garrett do not do.
Anything interesting in the run game.
So, again, I'm not telling you that this is a season changer,
but what I am saying is while you're fretting about running back,
I think NFL teams in general should look at dudes like this
and make them their running back.
He's a tight end.
He's a fullback.
Are you just trying to pump up your all-white fantasy team and get yourself a second back?
I don't think he's going to be taken, so I don't think I need to.
I'm telling you that because they signed the guy today,
I've heard from people with the team that are like,
this is the best football player we have,
like purely.
As far as everything he can do,
he's just a,
he's a very good addition to your team,
that a good team would be able to turn into a useful piece on offense,
especially if they don't have another running back they trust.
Can I get an over under on total yards?
Combined.
For Hunter Lipke?
Grimmage.
The question, though, is,
would you use him like Jake says or you use him like they're probably going to use him.
Well, I would actually, I would just argue that in the last couple of years they had guys that they wanted to try to tell you were real running backs more so than they do now, whether it was Zeke or whether it was Rico.
It is odd that Shoddy starts here and like his first declaration is we're going to run the ball.
yet everyone says that
well do you say it when you have arguably
the worst running back room in the NFL
no and I want to go back to just giving him a pass
for everyone says that I don't know why they say it
I believe it with him that he wants to
because that's what he's done his entire career
had a pretty backwards assaw offense
it's somewhat true
somewhat misleading because he was
fired by Pete Carroll for not running the ball enough
Now, being left of Pete Carroll
It doesn't meet your left
Leaning.
But the thing is on the Cowboys' Identity,
if I'm looking at this team,
I'm thinking what I said earlier,
like DAC has to be able to get in shootouts.
Like they can't be like I got to establish the run
and we're going to grind it.
Like, that's not going to work
because your defense is going to give up points.
So if you're, you know,
it's also a weird thing
when you talk about Micah and his production.
Well, you know why he didn't have production in those playoff games?
Because you got down so really.
Oh, well, it's weird that the defense would give up all those points
so Micah couldn't have a good game.
Oh, yeah, Micah's on defense.
Like, how does that work?
To where, well, there's no way Micah could get good sack numbers
or anything in the playoffs because they'd always be down 14 to nothing.
Okay.
How did they get down 14 to nothing with Micah on the defense?
uh because again like i was saying to you the other day they have in if you look at 21 22 23 and 24 so the four years micha was on the team they were either 30th 31st or 32nd in the money that they had spent on defensive tackles in the league so interior defensive line the least amount of their money dedicated to it total that's their bit right for years yeah forever and then on top of 20 years um you know save for a
couple here and there. You know what's funny is
Jay Ratliff came up the other day
on the show because we were talking
about the area where all the cowboys get
DUIs. Ty Walker
reminded me Jay Ratliff tried to
fight Calvin Watkins in the locker room
one time. Remember that story?
No.
Ty was getting taped from Rob Ryan.
Rob Ryan, right?
Yeah. And
what an era.
Dude, it was a year that I went to Washington
that year and it was amazing. The last game of the year
Rob Ryan, I just couldn't take my eyes off of him, but he said,
Rob Ryan barely looked up and was like, hey, you know, I love Calvin, but my money's on
Jay over there and just kept going.
That's the last time the Cowboys had a real defensive tackle.
Anyways, so they spent no money in the interior of their defensive line, and then on top of that,
yes, they drafted OSA, who's a nice three tech, but look at the other players they drafted.
They didn't draft another defensive tackle.
instead they drafted three more pass rushers
so I'm just I'm not saying I'm not absolving Micah
but you can't that feels scapegoaty to me to be like
hey this guy makes a shit ton of money
you not count the UCLA guy
Osa no
Ty Phil what's his name yeah yeah I can't say it
I think he's going to be good
investing a seventh round pick and D tackle didn't blow you over
I think he's going to be good but I think he's going to be a rotation player
some of those guys get good after
being undrafted.
There's the only reason I'm holding out for that.
That feels like a position that can pop.
But anyways, my point is just...
What about Mazzie?
In a weird way, I think that's
like a Mo Claiborne thing
where it's snake bit him.
And now they're like, see?
And you're a taco too?
Yeah, a little bit.
Yeah.
And what's funny about, though, is Jerry
will not shut up about how it takes
three years before you can evaluate a defensive
lineman.
because Tom Landry told him so.
Except, like, they just got a guy to replace Mazi, like, after a second year.
Clearly, they've seen enough to where they've made their decision, Tom Landry or not.
I'll play you a little bit of audio here.
Are we sashing it?
Yeah, sush it up.
We'll take you now to Texas Tech's game from over the weekend.
against Arkansas Pine Bluff, where Ted Emrick was on the call.
And, you know...
Texas Tech, where Nico Harrison was not.
No.
It was not.
I saw you...
I'm taking a turn here.
So this is...
So you were in a Twitter battle or somebody from the fan was yelling at you yesterday on Twitter?
That has nothing to do with this other thing that you went viral for
No, and I didn't go viral
I'm not in the video
Somebody gave you a clip
You put it out there and it blew up
Doesn't have a sister
But I also don't want to be
But it blew up
And I saw the hat tip
It said at Not Jack Kemp
Dude there was so many hats just
Yeah
Get that ass
Get that Dallas Texas TV money
So why
What was the fight with the Zach
I don't know that it was
This is kind of sashing, yeah
This is also today in Twitter
Um
Did I just our audience care about this?
I was just bored
And also I think they're stationed
I just wanted to read this tweet
Because it was funny
Okay here's the deal
So they posted
This is a funny tweet
They posted a segment
Their segment of them reacting
To the Micah Trade is online right
Another sports fan
And another city was like
Boy looks like the fan is having a normal one in Dallas
Oh okay
And it was a clip where he was like
Yeah I'm both over right you guys
Maliboy player in history.
And so then last night, everyone was like,
oh, you're taking out of context.
They're joking.
I went and listened to the whole segment last night.
And it's like, I don't know.
It doesn't feel it.
The whole thing, their bit is they'll just straight up say he's gone.
He's the enemy now.
And that's fine.
Like they're playing it up on the back pocket thing because they'll criticize Jerry plenty.
But they're like, he's the enemy now.
He's gone.
And maybe that's the bit that I don't understand.
Okay, yeah.
So you tweeted like their kind of hacks.
But I think that that's sort of like hot takey skip thing, that's what I've always thought of them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like it locally.
And I get, if they don't see themselves that way, I didn't know.
But I'm just like that doesn't feel like a compliment.
But it's not a compliment, but also like they are a lowest common denominator station.
And I don't know.
Maybe they do, you feel like you know that at some point, right?
Like, do what you do.
When you name the show, Gbag Nation, it feels like you're claiming that.
You're leaning into it a little bit.
How am I the asshole?
Yeah, no, so the guy...
But then I said that, and this guy, Zach, used to be our intern.
Since then, I've had no contact with him because he's a guy who, and I get it,
you got to join the team.
He'll talk shit with the rest of him about the ticket, but now it's...
He'll give you a little cold shoulder at the Super Bowl or show.
Dude, uh, whoa, I was your intern.
You're going to come at me like that, and then he fucking fatality me with, uh,
why don't you have another drink on me?
I was like, I didn't know.
dealing with a verified serial killer here. This guy, I have nothing left to say.
He was, yes, referring to perhaps your stint in rehab. Perhaps. Perhaps.
A little unclear what he could possibly mean, but that's a good guess.
So his, I don't know, is Gavin his co-host?
Gavin Dawson, he's the G-bag guy, right?
Mm-hmm. Okay. I believe I've met him and I believe he was all right.
But in the – I didn't – he never did a happy baby pose in front of me when I – he did not assault me.
I think any tension I've had with him has been nothing more than, you know, defending the shield when you're younger in your career, which you never really fell into.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, you know, I'm a big ticket fan, big guy, and I do think the ticket does better radio than them.
But anyway, I wanted to read his funny tweet.
It's funny to me
Maybe you're really mad about it
But he did not tag you in it
But apparently he had talked to Zach
About the situation or watched it online
I don't know he says
Here's his tweet
Dude did zero to build the station
But somehow came away with 110% of the arrogance
Of some of the OGs
And he got the story wrong
reacting to a short sound bite joke
From our guy Zach Wolchuk
and so I'm thinking you're the dude
that didn't do anything to build the station
Is that where you work right now?
You have a ton of arrogance, more arrogance,
and then he says then some of the OGs,
and I'm just hoping this is a compliment
and I'm an O.G. Am I an O.G?
Is Gavin Dawson referring to me as an O.G?
Do you want me to be your friend or to be honest with you?
Because he ain't talking about you.
Oh, damn it.
I was hoping I would get in that list.
You should have chose be your friend.
He's clearly just trying to say whatever he can say.
Like, it's not like he's searching for the truth.
It is funny.
He's trying to understand it because it's funny.
If you were in the spot of trying to hurt your feelings,
he certainly would not be like, well, you're an O.G.
That's true.
Yeah, I think it's, I folks love it.
I think it's fun.
I just love the juice. I love the zest.
Everybody up their F.
Let's have some fun.
Hope they're all fired up and rallied against this douchebag on a podcast.
I hope the ticket season is like, fuck yeah, dude.
Thought he was against us.
He's hamping us up.
I just love it.
I just love it.
Good ideas for who to pick up on the cable wire.
I love it.
I feel like I've reached my final film.
I interrupted you.
You were about to give some audio.
Here's Ted Emrick.
Doing what a lot of play-by-play guys and booths did across college football this weekend,
but doing it is only he could.
And if you can't recognize Lee Corso's contribution,
to college football. You're just a big jerk.
38 years,
his final college game
day earlier today in Columbus.
That's the money, but I'll let it play for you.
As he said, he had to go with his first love.
He put on Brutus for the first time
and the last time,
and he nailed the pick
in all better than 66%
with those headgear picks through the years.
Man, what an awesome morning it was.
I just like listening to Ted Talk.
It's not against the spread, so it's not important.
I know.
I was about to say.
Yeah, and that is very true.
Let's rip Ted.
Well, I think he's probably working for a company that would like a message.
I think he should have added.
He should have added that after saying 66%.
Of course, straight up, who couldn't do that?
But speaking to Ted, this is from the Rangers pregame show.
This might have been Monday, but this feels aimed at us.
Last time out, Jacob Lats went four and a third against the Angels, gave up just two runs.
Again, the Rangers scored 20 in that victory.
And Brad, to borrow the word that Emily Jones taught Boch a few months ago, the Rangers can only hope that Jacob Lats is buss in again.
Okay, okay, I didn't know where you were going with.
You're on top of the lingo, right?
Okay, so this is Brad Miller, who is very good with analysis.
but not with cool terms.
So he's very confused there.
Okay, okay.
I didn't know where you were going with.
You're on top of the lingo, right?
Those two have not worked together enough.
Sorry, Ted.
A couple more here for you.
Actually, let's just end with this one.
This is great, I think.
This is great because T.C.'s here.
This is after the tigers prevailed over the tigers
in Death Valley.
Wait.
Oh, okay, yeah.
Tigers over tigers.
And it had to hurt
I wish we could have a longer conversation about this today
Maybe we'll try to get it done tomorrow
But TC's college football thoughts
Are something I'm always interested in
I have no problem with the fact that
Notre Dame is still in the fight
Clemson is still in the fight
Because those were effing awesome football games
And I get it
It changes the sport
But I just love
I think both those teams
It was a great time
I want both teams to go home and feel good
So after the game
I know
after the game
Brian Kelly's doing his on-field interview
and we've of course all loved the journey
of Brian Kelly's linguistics
from South Bend,
Indiana to Louisiana
and he's from Boston
and it really looks like he's from Boston
and it seems like a guy
who should be talking like he lives
near water on the East Coast
but sailor perhaps
this clip was actually sent to me
because there's a dirty sound in it
and it's a good one.
But I think the full, let's just listen to Brian talk.
Coach, your defense with a crucial fourth down stop to seal this game.
How did they change this entire game for you tonight?
Well, obviously, you know, you have to, you know, put the first half behind you.
And we talked about behind you is already a little bit of a code switch.
Well, obviously, you know, you have to, you know, put the first half behind you.
And we talked about we just got to be cleaner in the second.
in half. And I thought we did a great job.
We pressured clit, Cade.
When he got outside the pocket,
we pressured clit.
He used the goal.
Was his brother's name? Is it
Clint? Clint Clubnick?
I believe so.
That's a bad idea.
I believe so. No, Cade
Clubnick is the quarterback.
Yeah. But I'm trying to think, did he have
a brother or something? I thought there was
a Clint. Clint Kubiak.
And maybe that's where I was in
the mix-up came.
But this one's good because after he says clit, he fish tails.
Tire game for you tonight.
There you go.
We just got to be cleaner in the second half.
And I thought we did a great job.
We pressured clit, Cade.
When he got outside the pocket, we were on body.
Look, this is a hard place to play.
What did he just say?
We were on body.
When he got outside the pocket, we were on body.
Sounds like the WB for all.
And I thought we did a great job.
We pressured clit, Cade.
When he got outside the pocket, we were on body.
Look, this is a hard place to play.
I mean, it's a top five team on the road.
And our guys were down at half, and they don't lose when they're up at half.
And our guys persevered, great character.
Look, I could talk about a million things.
But it's individuals, and these players refused to do anything else but find a way to win.
And I'm so proud of them.
I feel like that's Southern.
It's not as bad as family.
Right, his opening.
But he didn't sound like that three years.
ago in normal post-game.
But I'll bet if he was on the field in New Orleans, it'd be different.
Or in, uh, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that's going to do it for my audio bag here.
We'll save the rest of this because I've got late breaking news that Jared Sandler will
join us on Friday, and I want to play some Jared Sandler play-by-play audio.
Okay, nice.
All right, let's take a break.
Yep.
Hey this one's not new
You want new
You're listening to the Dumb Zone
Do you want to, okay, you're going to pick him?
up right now, Julie? Do you want to hear one idea I have and chime in on it before you go get
them? Okay, Julie Dobbs is here, everybody. She's going to sit in for the end of the program and
bring a client in. He'll give closing remarks. It'll be amazing. I hope that couch doesn't
fall over. I hope not. I need some ozimic. That's where we... That wasn't, I wasn't saying
get on it. We were all just talking about... No, I'm saying it. I'm making the couch break.
No, it's a precariously set up couch.
Okay, good.
It's not your fault.
Okay, good.
The casting couch.
That's right.
So, do you remember I had an idea last week?
I have another business idea, and it's business Wednesday.
And every Wednesday, when I wake up, I just got all this business flowing through me.
Uh-huh.
Body clock.
So I had this idea, and I told you about it last week.
That sounds gross.
It was for, I don't know if it's like a YouTube page or a website.
website or a TikTok account
or something that is going to rate public bathrooms
based on if you
put your hand under the soap and it just
gives you a little tiny one.
You got to put your other hand. That's going to
give you a negative rating there.
Same thing with bathroom towel length.
I believe Fox
We're at our Game Day
Men's Health studio, the Fox 4
bathroom. I think
this is a little short. I had to
get three or four of these. Why is that in here?
Because I went to the
bathroom just to see how long
leave it in the bathroom. It's a prop for his...
It was in the towel to spend.
It wasn't like you. Nobody wiped themselves.
No, we know. It's still...
You think something that was ever... I was in the bathroom.
Should I not be here?
Like something that was once in the bathroom?
Good point. Hold on. No, no, no, no.
Not yet. Hold on a second.
One second. And then
my idea...
Uh-huh. So I have another idea. And I got to...
this because my mom was
complaining to me about
my brother's wife, whatever she is to
me, she's a
hair cutter, hairdresser,
but she has to drive like 45 minutes
to work. So my
idea was a mobile
hair cutting because you have
like pet love,
but it's for people.
Yeah.
That's the thing for...
And it's called Roadhead.
That's all he wanted to get to.
But couldn't the guy be in here for that?
No, and this was smart.
That's so smart.
Tell me this whole story.
This could have been an annual.
Before our partner was.
No, everyone loves that.
Dude, you're crushing.
Think of that idea.
Think about it.
No, it's a good payoff because before that it seemed like you didn't know that this service exists widely, but there was a good punch.
Yeah.
Do they have mobile haircutting?
Of course.
They don't call, they don't have a good name, though, that you remember.
See, that's why I don't know.
I know.
Nobody came up with a cool name.
All right, go get the clients.
Cutting hair out into the ether.
That'd be great, yeah.
They'd be disappointed with their services, though.
I think if they call that number and get an aircraft.
Yeah.
That's why I had to have Julie's comment.
So we got a guy from Window Nation coming in.
That's right.
Hey, we can promote, though.
Friday, we have a road show.
Are you going to be there, too?
I am. Excellent. Nomad Grills in Bishop Arts.
Anytime you guys are at Nomad Grills, I'm there.
Lone Star Beer sending us there.
Zavala's Barbecue will be there after our program, which begins at 4 p.m.
They'll have Rangers v. Astros on the big screen.
Rangers still doing well?
They lost last night, but so did the Mariners.
It's unlikely, but there's a real chance that they're very close.
and a game, half a game to the Astros
when the series starts Friday.
So did they just need to get Eivaldi out of there?
And Corey Seeger.
Did he need him to go back on the DL?
Right.
No, but I'm very excited about Friday.
It's a cool spot.
If Blake's excited about the spot,
then you know it's good.
And one of two things are going to happen.
After the weekend, the Rangers probably will be finally done
or it sets us up for a couple nice weeks of baseball.
It's a cross from the Kessler, right?
Yeah.
I believe it's a catty corner.
Yeah.
What a great corner.
One of the top.
Mm-hmm.
All right, so yeah, join us Friday.
We'll be out there drinking beer and stuff.
Well, most of us, many of us.
Some of us.
I'm not Jake.
What I'm trying to say, there's Zach.
It's not funny.
Don't even mention it.
It is funny.
Want to do the news?
Yeah, sure.
All right.
I thought like when she went out to get the guy, like he'd be in within the next five minutes,
but apparently not.
But we've got to do a show.
That's right.
Get to do a show.
Let's see here.
There is a concern that the Texas special session will prolong into a third special session, Dan.
I don't know what any of that stuff means.
That's your top story?
Well, there's a THC element to this, pal.
He just got you back in.
Yeah.
Go on.
So it's funny because right now, as of yesterday, I guess, the geek bars are gone and THC vapes are gone.
So as of right now, you can still go get, like, I bought a geek bar.
I don't remember where I was driving on the way somewhere.
Maybe it was when we went to Austin a couple weeks ago and I was like, and the guy was like, I got one left.
Do you want it?
I'm like, of course I want it.
What's a geek bar?
It's a vape that was made in.
China. They were great quality. Price point. That's gone. It's the real beautifully designed
ones. Yeah. Well, good, well-designed. Florescent colors. Yeah. And then also the THC infused
vapes, which is what you can get at your vape shop now. They're going to do away with those as they
piecemeal this THC law. But I do find it interesting that the Texas Compassionate Use Prophemy,
program is adding vapes at the exact same time that they are making them illegal for the
public. And I keep hearing that the only version of THC you're going to have after this all
settles will be the drinks at liquor stores. So it certainly feels like we're directing these
things to like really not sensible use as much as like these are the people who can make
money off this. Liquor stores and the
compassionate use program
who Dan Patrick
his wife happens to be very
involved in lobbying forward. So he's trying to run
at Greg Abbott being like, it's absolutely disgusting. Texas wants
all THC ban. We're not going to have any
of these gummies, drinks, none of it.
Except for this teacup program
over here on the side that my wife is super
involved in and we're going to kind of divert everything
that way. And then the drinks will just be
in the liquor stores because, you know, we've been
stroking the beer guys forever.
Now they're in on the game.
Ten years ago, the alcohol lobby wanted no part of THC in Texas.
Until they bought in.
Now they got drinks from people, you know, whether they're stopping alcohol or whatever the case may be.
As long as they give me the drinks.
Just give me the drinks.
Julie is back and she has brought, is this Joey?
This is Joey.
Joey the sales guy.
Joey.
Sales guy.
Window Nation.
Hi there.
Is he Joey the sales guy?
Can we call him that?
that works for me what's your bit like what's your do you want to give your last name or no sure um jillic
condolucci what kind of sales guy would say no like that yeah don't uh don't maybe one with like a second
family yeah yeah the old days that would be a great thing to be a sales guy certainly because you got
travel yeah so you and that last name sounded kind of fake anyway so i travel monday through
Friday and yeah how many families do you have only three so he's from a window nation
and we'll join us for closing remarks but that microphone is hot hot mic if you need to
jump in on the news or you got anything like lord knows she won't shut up so that's true
yeah typical lady uh have you bought your power ball for tonight just give me a quick yes or
no not yet in you not yet are you going to yes he he's he's you do your own numbers
he's already spent half the money i strongly disagree with your take you should always use the
computer numbers you should always use the computer what are the odds though that two computers
are going to be way betters no way better odds if i come up with just my birthday that logic
my dog's birthday if you win thick as a brick right there 69 you're going to have to split it
whenever you just go six nine six nine someone else did that the computer number here's the thing
i've been wondering has there ever been a lottery winner
there was all the same number.
Like, it's just three, three, three, three, three, three, three, one.
That's like a really dumb thing to say, isn't it?
It can't be, they don't do one number twice, right?
Right.
In the thing?
The lottery.
I don't believe that you've ever played the lottery now that you're saying.
I just tell it to give me the computer numbers and check whether or not I won.
So have you ever noticed that there are always five different numbers?
Like, not even, there's never even one of the numbers is the same.
Dude, I mean, imagine.
If it could be the same number over and over, it would be fucking in.
possible to win, dude.
Think of the odds.
No, it's already impossible to win.
There's no need for them to introduce the idea of duplicating the numbers.
The odds to win would decrease by a million fold, wouldn't they?
Or would it go the other way.
There's some time the computer has given me like 77 or something.
If the option to have the number repeat was in there, that would increase the number of outcomes significantly.
Right.
Like by.
Right.
There would never be a winner.
Never be a winner.
I retract.
But if you did win, you would win a trillion dollars.
Yeah.
We're going to go to Fox 4.
I have to put in a...
I didn't think anything of it when you said it.
I was like, that's a very good point.
That ain't good, bud.
A lot of people think it's a good point.
I need to put an alert, though, because if I don't...
I don't want a lottery person.
Write it down.
Oh, look, I already have an alert.
I must have done this over the weekend.
Powerball, buy my ticket by 3 p.m.
I was watching...
Lottery guy.
I was watching Fox Ford News last night.
Just when it gets big.
I don't play it for like a million or two.
Just the logic of a little child.
Right.
It would be a problem.
If I won like five million dollars, everyone I know would just be,
there's the lottery winner.
It'd be your whole identity.
Everything you've done up to this point, gone.
Now you're just a lottery winner guy.
And people already know I'm a sucker.
Which like isn't nothing.
And then after taxes.
Exactly.
You only have like two and a half million.
I'm going to need a hundred at least to satisfy all.
K habit.
Right.
All your fans.
No, I'm done with K.
A growing K habit.
All right.
So we're going to go to Fox 4 Steve Eager, who I love.
I listen.
I've switched over.
I don't know.
It's just being here,
osmosis, but I watch the Fox 4 9 o'clock.
I like watching Fox as well because I want to know who the people are that I see in the hallway.
Certainly.
Yeah.
Certainly.
When you get tagged with complaints, you'll be able to.
I can, yeah, throw the vibe out.
This is a very sad story.
It involves death.
Oh, dear.
But I just thought Steve's delivery here was worth replaying.
You're going to, uh, I may be up actually, T.C., but I'm not sure.
Let's see.
No?
No.
That's the chord?
Sounds great.
Yeah.
Fantastic.
Is it in the drop box?
Want me to play it?
No, it is not in the drop box.
You want me just do everything for you?
No.
I need my little binky Blake to hold my hand.
Here you go back to this one.
Four people were injured, including an innocent bystander after a shooting overnight in the East Fort Worth area.
Police believe three of the victims were targeted.
The fourth happened to be driving by.
That is a funny way to say.
He like did the want-want-want-want-and-or-hend-de-de-de-lead.
Four people were injured, including an innocent bystander after a shooting overnight in the East Fort Worth area.
Police believe three of the victims were targeted.
The fourth happened to be driving by.
Oh, no.
Now, that doesn't sound like death, though.
I just said injured.
I just said it, yeah.
That's good.
It is good.
If you got injured while driving by?
All right, I do have a death in this one.
46-year-old man was arrested last week in Harris County for murder.
He and his friends, well, first of all, when the neighbor or when the police showed up, they thought the incident was suicide because it was a man there dead.
And it turns out the accused and the deceased had put on, they had taken turns putting on a keel.
helmet and bulletproof vests and shooting each other.
Smart.
That's young Jake.
Yeah.
This guy's 46.
The one who was arrested was 46.
They don't give the deceased age, but they were buddies.
They were hanging out.
I hope the guy was 46 and not 18.
Boy, yeah, if you had an 18-year-old friend as a 46-year-old and you said, hey, let's go
on Kevlar and shoot each other.
It's already bad.
Which is the one that died?
The 46?
They don't, they didn't, there's no name or age on this one.
But, yeah, they responded to a call upon arrival.
Units found adult male stained what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the head.
The Kevlar wasn't covering.
Oh, wait, you know what?
This tweet they linked to does have, uh, the guy was 34.
So kind of like you were in.
Yeah.
If you guys were.
Let's do it.
Yeah.
It would, did they do it for their YouTube page?
Because I could understand that.
Got to get some imps.
Those imps.
Do you use emps?
Do you know what imps are, Joey?
You know what imps are?
I do not.
Okay.
Impressions.
When we'll talk to Window Nation and they'll be like,
oh, how many impressions did you guys?
But you're the sales guy.
You're selling Windows.
Right.
You're not concerned with how our social media was able to blast out a message for Window Nation.
Right.
But imps.
It's all about the imps.
Yeah, you want to get imps now.
That's industry word.
Now you know, Joey.
Is that what used to be like likes?
Kind of.
A like would be an imp.
It's bigger than likes.
You would get everyone who saw it.
A like is an imp, but something else could be an imp too, yes.
So it's, yes.
Hey, you guys remember last week whenever we were discussing the story of the sheriff in Johnson County
who had a bit of a loose grasp on how to talk to women in the workplace?
Look, we've all been there.
This was the, you have no idea what I would have done to you in my younger days guy.
He's saying.
So you're not allowed to say that anymore?
He's saying he wouldn't do it now.
Right.
And he's giving her a compliment.
She looks real good.
Yeah.
To further you guys case here, one female employee, this is all, they have tons and tons of evidence.
Keep that in mind.
another such instance female employee enters his office he told her to hey back up i need to look at
your feet can't agree with that and of course julie will be interested this part of the story
he sees this is part of the story and i think this is why this guy is getting support because
that's why this story's back in the news because the uh documents also claim that he gave special
privileges to the women in the office who were married who would spend time with him
so if the married ones would go to lunch with them
then they would get special things
gifts and access
but not the single ones
no so you want someone else
was something to lose
he thought it was hot
yeah because it is yeah you know it'd be a cool
perk is uh five minutes in the evidence
locker it would be because honestly you say that
I'm trying to think of when this article is like he would give
employees special access and perks
I'm like, to the Johnson County Sheriff's office?
What is this?
The Oscars?
Like, you know, here's where we keep all the tax stuff.
Just go pick one thing out of the evidence locker that looks good to you.
Now, that's worth it.
I've always thought that's what they should do with people who go to jail, you know, wrongfully accused.
Oh, yeah, let them in?
Yeah, kind of make it a supermarket sweep type deal.
Yeah, that's a great idea.
You get like 10 minutes in there.
And you've got a no value, you know?
Probably some guy's going to go in there and take a hard drive and walk out.
And everyone's like, idiot.
Next thing you know.
Yeah.
Bitcoin.
Dude, supermarket sweep.
Fucking, what a great reference.
So good.
So good.
You ever watch that?
Yeah.
I remember that.
I, uh, show.
Go to the seafood.
Go to, like I'm yelling at the TV.
Get the meat.
I despise it.
It's on in my house 24 hours a day.
I live in hell.
And you're probably watching guys' new take on it, too.
Huh?
I wish we'd stayed there.
Guy Fierry has a version, too.
Oh, kind of.
She's found some channel that just serves her all day, supermarket sweet.
And every time I walk through the room.
Surely it's not on like Netflix or anything, right?
It might be.
I don't know.
I got to be honest, though.
When I was a kid, that show made me hyped to be able to go grocery shopping one day.
And my parents, when I was 15, I don't think 14, but 15 for sure.
my parents would let me drive to the grocery store and do our family grocery shopping.
It wasn't that far.
It was like a five-minute drive, and I loved it.
They'd give you a budget, and you just tried to stick to that budget.
Yeah.
Yeah, see how close you can get.
And the sweep prep me for that.
Yeah.
Anyways, back to Johnson County, where all of our locals led with this last night,
it shouldn't be a shock, but there was a massive gathering of support.
supporters for this dude last night, prayer circles and fundraising, fundraising efforts for
his legal defense.
Boy, if you are a lady that he's just been constantly harassing in the workplace every
day and you're seeing all the, like, they're reacting like it's a child who got tragically
passed away.
Dude, and it's not.
But he's an electric or elected official, right?
Yeah.
So he's going to have his folks that doesn't matter what.
he does. Man, but he's been indicted. He didn't just get like workplace set aside.
You know, he's, he's going, he went to jail. He got arrested for this for abusing as
for abuse of power. So, I don't know, man. It's small towns. You can go to jail for
this is why. I didn't know. I thought it wasn't, there was no touchy. That's not, he's in jail
for abuse of power. For abuse of power. How do you feel about that? Joe, touchy.
You're like a little touchy, touchy feeling?
If there's no touchy, we're all safey.
Window Nation not touchy in their appointments.
I would hope not.
You could touch the window.
Yes, he did bring a window for later.
Hell yeah.
We've got a window.
We've hoped to have a window in here.
You agree with Dan, you're saying?
I mean, he does.
Yeah.
Most people do.
Most people listening.
Are surprised that he would go to jail and Ethan Couch walks him on us.
Well, he's not.
Oh, you have the ultimate escape hatch.
there bud and i hate it it's not he's not going to jail for the touchy he's going to jail for
abuse of power like being an elected official who's and that's why i remember a couple years ago
when they tried to kidnap that governor of michigan and i told you then like that is that was the
story that for me you don't want any part of it you don't want city council you don't even really
want to be the treasurer of the youth association because at some point there's something that
You're just like, what's the big deal?
Just $500.
Cuffs.
Boy, that was easy.
What if I do $1,000?
The quote was, if you keep losing weight, you're going to make me do some ungodly things to you.
If you keep losing weight?
Okay.
That same employee who wore white slacks to work, he would say,
back in my younger days, you wouldn't want to know what I did to women wearing white fans.
But.
Sounds like an admission.
But.
there were people gathered at the courthouse last night
saying that he's a family man
he's a trusted man he's a community man
and it's funny
then they like they cut to the lawyer for one of the accused
and the guy's like like exasperated
he's like I don't know why you're calling me
like they have all the evidence
it's not
this is not up for debate really
this is not you believe
them or believe him i guess family man is such a funny term like i i think it's hearkening back
to a time whenever it was like that or like a street tramp yeah like it used to be such a low
bar to be a good person like hey i have a wife just have a family don't don't have a second one
right fully don't have a second one yeah there was a event organized lady i am outraged and
unable to stay silent any longer the community will stand behind this man
what is
surely the community has better things
to do with their time
how old does he support this man
he looks like he's in a 60s to me
when you're
this is not always a sort of crime
he's not in his younger days anymore
that's right yeah
I don't know how old he is
but he is in not rape you
if you wore white pants to work age
which he heavily implied
he used to be in
which is
done it a couple times
but now I've stopped
it's part of my
growth.
Let's see here.
What else did we want to cover today?
Boy, this is a sad one here.
I'm going to go back to Fox 4.
Do you ever think that the homeless just have a lot more going on than you realize?
They must.
Like an economy, like a political system, maybe their own little civil society.
There's a lot of stories just for them.
Cricket wireless things of this nature.
Yeah, I guess at the end of the day, that is what those are for, right?
Yeah.
and like extra value meals
wait cricket wireless
what is that
like pay as you go
that's probably what angelo is called cricket wireless
they name it after the homeless guy
they did not always sunny they did not
they did not
maybe I don't know what they named it after
here's some audio
that one wasn't on me
it's perfect
police arrested a man they say confessed to killing a man
near a Dallas homeless shelter
it happened near the Austin Street Shelter Sunday night
police say Charles Reeder got into a dispute with DeGovato Rodriguez for sleeping too close to his car.
That's it.
That's the rule of the streets.
Well, you think that's ridiculous?
I'll give you, I'll counter with a story where police say they got in an argument about who was up next on the pool table, you know, at a bar or whatever.
Yeah, I guess that's true.
Was she good at saying that name?
No.
No. Heather didn't totally crush that one.
Let's do it again.
Oh, yeah, let's do it again.
She got Rodriguez.
Dallas homeless sheltered happened near the Austin Street Shelter Sunday night.
Police say Charles Reader got into a dispute with DiGovato Rodriguez for something too close to his car.
Three out of the four names she mentioned they were great.
Speaking of her, I do have this audio up here.
So I'll play this from last week.
We were doing this story at Waterburger.
remember this. Irving police are
investigating after a local rapper
was shot at a muffler shop.
Police say 28, 21-year-old
Cato Rivers, also known as
FBG murder, is a suspect
in the incident. So we did that story.
She pronounced that great. We did the story out at
Waterberger, and a listener who was there
told me that he was standing
over waiting to get his food, and the speakers
were up. And I was a dude who walked out of the
kitchen and heard it and was like,
me, you're talking about FBG
murder over there. Like, we
It looks like the gringoist operation.
Like that guy just heard that name and was like, why?
Why are my two worlds colliding here right now?
One more story.
Julie, did you hear about the nanny who drove into a lake?
I did not.
Lake Ray Hubbard.
Okay.
Okay.
This is hopefully alone?
Kids driving her nuts.
No, no, no.
This is one of those stories that is,
one degree away from
we're not doing it on the news
in this news because it's on the national news
because it's the most horrible thing
that's happened in months
because there were three kids in the car with her.
Oh.
Yeah.
But they did fine?
Yes.
Good.
So this is in Forney Lake Ray Hubbard.
Here's the confusing part to me about it.
This is a nanny
who was learning to drive.
I don't love it
Yeah
Did she disclose that to the family
When she was hired, I wonder
So
The mom I believe
The mom I believe was in the car
You gotta fake it till you make it
And the mom is teaching the nanny to drive
And the nanny is
And there's three
There's a four or two
And a one year old in the car
Oh dear
And the mom is like
I'm gonna teach the nanny to drive
So in a sense
Near Lake Ray Hubbard
This is weird
I assume the mom's in the car by the way
It doesn't say that
It just says the mom was teaching her how to drive
So I assume that means she was in the car
Yeah
And maybe she's thinking
Well she'll be really careful
Since I have the kids in here
Yeah
Thinking back to whenever I was learning how to drive
I feel like I mastered don't go in the lake
Essentially immediately
Well it's funny too because it's even more elemental than that
they just say that she thought it was the
she mistook the gas pedal for the break
and hopped a curb at the end of a court
and launched. Dude, the video is insane.
I mean, obviously, they don't have video of her
launching, but she's pretty far out
there.
Boy, it's too bad she doesn't, we don't have
the dash cams
as prevalent here. Oh, yeah, I get a little
Russia dash cam.
I've been told that I should get one.
You ever heard that?
That everybody should have one.
Fraud?
that like insurance
that if you have a
in Russia they mandate it
because insurance fraud is so popular there
actually makes sense
yeah so you'll see like Uber drivers a lot of times
have them for that very reason
yeah
yeah I just saw something on my
I guess it was Instagram or something
where it was a woman who got into a crash
while texting but it was the dash cam
of her doing that
and it was really trippy
because you know we all every once in a while do that
But if you're watching a video of someone literally driving on a highway while texting and then getting in a crash, it's absolutely insane.
And there were probably people who crashed while watching it.
Yes.
It's just crazy.
It's like, wait, she's not looking.
She's not looking.
She's going to crash.
How did that get released?
I don't think, like, she's the one that owns the video.
I would not publish that if I were heard.
I think it was like an Uber type.
It was a rental car or something like that.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's rough.
But it's crazy.
What makes someone a nanny?
What makes someone a nanny?
They got to live with you?
They do not have to live with you.
Then aren't they a babysitter?
Yes.
It's like a regularly scheduled babysitter.
Yeah, they have more duties than a baby.
They're like kind of full-time.
Neases.
Neases.
Yeah.
It's much easier that way.
Nice.
Yeah.
We had a, for the first month of, uh...
Night nurse.
kid too. Yeah, well, we call her the
night nanny. Yeah. Okay. If you're
a real high flutin, you call your nanny a
night nurse. Whatever. She was there for a few weeks at night
but she wasn't a nurse, so
I don't know why we called her that. Yeah,
it's just a nanny. Five nights a week and
man, she could take a bombing
run on you. That's what I remember.
What?
Your night nanny was just
dukeying. Oh my God.
Everywhere. Well, it's not that long of a
shift. It's what you get when
you let your wife do the full hiring
because she's going to hire as far away
from Hot Nanny as she can't.
So she hires poop nanny?
It doesn't smell like that though.
There's no way. She was kind of a wook.
You got a wook. To go back to
Jordan, George Richardson yesterday. Just
more of wookieish.
It is interesting though. When you have the
person that's in your house for long periods of time
for whatever reason, I mean that's something
that you have to do.
Like we've got, we're doing a lot of
work on our house right now.
Yeah.
So I've got people like pooping in my house.
Yeah.
But I don't know.
Like I came in the other day and I didn't think anyone was there and I heard some
wrestling in the bathroom.
I'm like, okay, it's just me and this guy and he's in there.
It's terrible, isn't it?
He's in there pooping.
Getting his particles on your stuff?
Yeah.
Just think how it is for me with all these people coming to our game watching parties.
You've got it going on, yeah.
That's right.
What if he then started a Twitter account to rate your bathroom?
Oh, damn.
I would love that.
All right.
Then I could read that and I could make some.
some improvements if I need to.
I want feedback, bro.
That'd be a good rating.
The Dumb Zone News.
Like and subscribe.
That was a good news.
Pretty cocky for you to say that.
Did you see what Pablo Tori finds out released this morning?
Oh, yeah.
The thing about Kauai?
I'm only like 25, 30 minutes in.
I do have a three and a half hour drive one way and a three and a half hour drive the other way
back tomorrow morning today.
What are you doing?
I'm driving to Oklahoma City for a concert.
Who?
Clips.
Who will be in Dallas tomorrow night.
But we will be watching the George Pickens show together lovingly.
And I can't miss this.
Okay.
It's like a three and a half hour drive to get there.
Where are you going?
Oklahoma City.
He just said that.
All right.
Sorry.
No.
Don't yell at him.
Is Oklahoma City three and a half.
Dude, yo, let me tell you something.
When I bought the tickets, I didn't know.
I was like, this is two and a quarter.
Yeah, I thought it might be an hour and a half.
No, man, right?
Because whenever you wrecked Barry Switzer's Trophy Room, it didn't take that long.
Did we go to Oklahoma City?
No, but I always, I thought Norman.
I know, but it was shy that, right?
Oh, is it? I don't know.
I don't know how far was.
I've never been north of Norman, so I don't know.
I've been to Oklahoma City once, but it was with Bob and Donovan for a Thunder game.
You might have been there, too, for something.
But in any case, it's further than I thought.
so podcast listening in order but it is it's if you don't know what it is and i saw somebody just
tweeting about a jalen brunson tweet that woge had from like 18 months ago what's that
it was just one of these like uh here it is this is from july 24 a woge tweet and a largely
unprecedented financial concession to give roster flexibility to a contender new york star jalen brunson
has agreed on a four-year $156 million extension,
$113 million less guaranteed than he's eligible to receive in one year.
The reason that's coming back up is the Pablo Tori finds out thing
appears to be Steve Balmer doing what we always thought Cuban should do,
which is just pay players on the side to circumvent the salary cap for fake job.
I assumed he was doing that with Dirk.
He might be, but it's also really illegal.
and really probably easy to prove.
You have to be really careful about not having a paper trail on that.
I wonder if, yeah, he couldn't just get one of his actual companies to hire him as a spokesman?
No.
Wasn't this a fake thing like that?
Sort of.
Yeah.
Sort of.
It's a real company that, and again, sort of.
But I'm not done with it.
But the problem also without having all the information is it's fine to single out Steve Ballmer, but Steve Ballmer probably knows so much.
that could nuke every other team
and the way they do business
it's like
you really can't kill one of them.
Well, that's really interesting, yeah.
I guess that's
a product of having a salary cap.
Yeah.
It breeds that.
If you have to kind of lie about it.
Which is something the owners want,
but they actually only want it
for all the other owners.
That's a good point.
Right. Well, no, they need salary cap for themselves.
Yeah, but not me personally.
Although I think Jerry likes it.
Yeah.
Yeah, he loves it.
I think there are some owners that love us.
You're a cowboy fan?
I mean, you're a Window Nation affiliation, but in addition to that, are you?
I have acquired the cowboy fandom, but I come from Pittsburgh.
I know.
No, no, it's not, I don't have a, it's not a hatred thing.
I'm not even. No, I grew up hating Pittsburgh.
You're from Pittsburgh, too?
I'm from Long Island originally, but I spent 23 years in Pittsburgh before finding my way home, as I've been told to say.
I'm jealous of Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, places Chicago, places where they play real, like, they have football and the fans are, like, football fans.
I grew up in Cleveland, so we grew up, we were supposed to hate Pittsburgh.
He just wanted to love it.
And I always did. I've always hated Pittsburgh. And then, yes, you visit them there.
as an adult, and I expected to see
like Beirut or something, some
kind of a third world country. Right.
And it's beautiful. It's awesome.
It's better than Cleveland.
And they have, they lied to me
about all these, like our
river is all discussed. They've got,
their downtown is awesome.
It's really cool. It's wonderful. Was it one of them
or did they even have like a second river?
You're not going to believe this. One was on fire.
Yes, but that was a long long.
There's three different river. Three whole.
Rivers. No, Ms. Com.
What's next?
Next is...
Community Mechanical
Presents on this day in history.
Well, we'll start with
viewer mail birthdays.
As we will.
Let's see here.
I have two for today, dear Daniel, or Uncle Daniel,
please wish D.F. Big Effing Al, a happy
31st or 32nd birthday.
Should we inform our guests from Windo Nation just, well, never mind.
I think you should.
I just want the show to happen like normal.
Yeah, he's.
I know.
He's in our house.
He's down.
I gave him the Dumb Zone warning before we came in.
Okay.
He bought his ticket.
His leaders are Milfs and Jake's political leanings.
There are no obscenity laws in Wind Donation.
That's right.
It's a sovereign, sovereign separate.
Constitution regarding speech laws.
His birthday request to have Dan say,
okay, Dan won't say that,
or to hear the Brandon Aubrey Kruner song from Mason.
All right, he'll hear that soon.
But not now.
And greetings beacon of the box,
writing in to give,
writing in to give myself a birthday shout-out
since none of my friends or family.
Listen to the pod.
Anyway, today is my Josh Hamilton birthday,
so it's only fitting that I kill an entire bottle of crown and blackout
with my shirt off at an Arlington dive bar.
I mean, among the things that Josh Hamilton is known for stepping out of bounds with,
that's probably the one you're best taking.
Yeah.
It's better than having your wife date one of your kids' friends.
Or hit your kid with a chair.
Yeah.
You threw a water bottle at her, I think?
Kind of funny, but the chair's too much.
chairs too much
this after god
directed him to go to the angels
god directed her
to direct him
whatever happened with her younger rapper boyfriend
sound cloud guy i don't think it lasted
i think no no no they're married
they're married yes i saw the story was in d mag tie the knot
is that there holy moly i don't even know if that exists i made every bit of that
up it's like mary k la tourno yep no idea
okay
Hold on, Mary Kayla Terno and
Villi Leal
There you go
Katie Hamilton with the
Boy Toy did a reality show
and it is by far the best reality show
I've ever seen
I remember seeing
you and I watching some of it
It's so amazing
And like they're great
But like there's other couples
That are equally as insane
And yeah I don't know
It's the best show
Better than supermarket sweep
It's so much better than Supermarket Sweep
Better than Doggy Fizzle time
It might not be as good as doggy-fizzle-tele-tele-visal.
That's a high bar.
My leaders are established the run guy, or Blake, car naps.
Marrying Millions is the name of the show.
And the guy who put the hashtag alcohol in his email yesterday.
God, that's awesome.
Let's see.
Thanks for the hours of entertainment.
We all know it's about those imps.
See, it's big news, dude.
Keep cranking that hog from D.F. Lance.
P.S. I bless the Venmo for your troubles.
Bless them.
I just read this stuff, Julie.
You're acting like I wrote it.
Yeah, but you choose what you're going to read.
No, he reads it all.
You don't understand.
If people sent in scripture, we would read that.
You don't understand what we're all about here.
Everybody send in scripture.
Please.
Bless these boys.
They could probably find some stuff in there that's pretty risque, couldn't they?
The Bible?
Yeah.
Oh, buddy.
You could get a, I shouldn't say that.
All right.
So, anyway, on this day, it is Wednesday, September 3rd.
This day in 1975, Steve Garvey returned to the Dodgers lineup after he missed two days with the flu.
He would not leave the lineup again until he compiled a National League record of 1,2007 consecutive games.
games he then would go on to co-host garvey and company garvey and company i was actually the
n company with jimmy the saint jake on this day in nineteen seventy six america's viking two
lander touched down on mars to take the first close-up color photographs what are you had on the space
planet surface up there yeah yeah but the photos cost seven point five billion dollar wow that's what
year. I just made
that up, but it's
976. I know you hate spending money on space.
Yeah, and most of the projects, if you took them
from the 70s or 80s and scaled them to
$2026, $7.5 billion
for photos is about right.
That's the going rate.
Otherwise, you wouldn't know what space looked like.
Oh, God, dude.
On this day in 1995, too.
Why put a price on? I'd love to
hear yours and Nora's discussions about
space. I'm letting her
be her. Uh-huh. You're
letting her have her own space beliefs?
Yes.
Good.
Maybe, you know, there's all this stuff down here
that's actually a real problem we could work on.
Okay.
Too realistic.
But if you find something cool in space,
we can escape to there and not deal with these problems.
That's the point.
It's very much like your argument for golf is drinking, right?
When people will say, well, yeah, but we go to space.
And because we're up there,
we find stuff we can use down here.
Like Velcro?
Yeah.
I'm like, what if we just hammered the beers and didn't golf?
What if we just worked on?
Velcro here.
If you could fix it here.
On this day in 1995, the online auction site eBay was founded,
originally called Auction Web.
A couple of sports note on this day in history.
Do you ever have an era?
Like an eBay.
I feel like everyone did.
Like I want to start a little eBay.
store i'm gonna sell stuff yeah i did shoes off like buy and sold for like 18 months yeah not like
it scale more like i did with weed where you do it enough to get it for free did you profit no no no no
that's what i'm saying just enough to wear like you you could get your shoes for free pretty much okay
great resource for a vintage playboys yeah any of the previous ones that you uh that's where he got
me that in whoever i got the enron one i know somebody got that for me lady's of venron is
On this day in 2002, two sports notes.
Joaquin Benoit, longest save in major league baseball history.
Wow.
He pitched seven innings of one hit ball.
This day in 2017, Big Day for Aggie.
Do you remember UCLA's Josh Rosen?
Oh, yeah.
Fakes a spike, throws a 10-yard touchdown pass
with 43 seconds remaining.
UCLA overcomes a 34-point deficit
to beat Aggie, 45-44.
Jimbo, right?
No.
It had to be Jimbo.
No.
It would have been someone.
It would have been someone.
Probably what got Tony Busby so mad he fired someone.
Where's Josh Ryan?
frozen.
Chilling.
Wharton Business School.
Legit. That's where he went
back to school. He was always, I don't know if you
I got very into him.
Yeah. So he was a rich kid.
His parents were
like surgeons. So when he
flamed out, he just went back to becoming a guy
who's going to run
a capital investment firm.
It's a good fallback.
It's pretty good. Other birthdays
we have James Neal
38. Hot.
Very hot James Neal.
My wife was into him.
Yeah.
You ever met him, Julie?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I have.
You ever had him on the hot seat?
That doesn't feel like a positive vibe that you're putting off right now.
A positive, yeah?
No.
Did you get a little hansy?
That's a direct question.
It really is.
It's not even a...
I said a little.
No.
Which is not illegal, Johnson County.
Yes.
James, yes.
That was back when I was single.
I met James Neal
He was a nice guy
A little flirty
Nice guy
Oh it's long as I'm going to say
She just kind of got that blank stare
For a moment
Was back in that moment
He was back in that moment
He's a good guy
He went and dated
He left here and then
Did you date him?
No
Melanie Collins
Like the real hot
I mean
There's a bigillion real hot
Sports reporters
I'm interested in all of them though
Did her name describe her
Yeah
Super hot.
She was Melanie.
Not as much as I thought at first.
But like she looks older, right?
Yeah.
But that's the thing.
He and I, he probably brought this up first.
We've been tracking this for a while now.
This weird thing where women in their 20s and 30s are trying to avoid looking old so they do things that older women are doing and now they look old.
Now they look.
The lid pillars.
The little is just, it's, we got 20 and 5 and 30.
35-year-olds who look the same as 50-year-olds now because they're doing the same stuff.
I kind of agree.
And that's what this woman looks like.
Yeah, she looks old, like older, but she looks like, I don't know, she's very curvy.
You don't have to be bitter just because she looks a lot older than him.
She stole James Neal from you?
No, not at all.
Damn.
There was nothing.
That's got to be tough.
There was nothing like that.
Something like that.
You're like, well, I guess I'll just date the coach instead.
fallback
Dick Mata is 94
That was a time
That's a Mavericks coach
Do we
I don't know
We would never have time for this
But maybe since
I think I'm just going to go back
And watch Maverick seasons of past coming up
That's a fun idea
Now Dick Mada's era was not good
But I wouldn't start there
Some 80 seasons
Maybe I'll just run all 82 of like
the 88, the conference finals
year.
If you talk about
before Cuban-era Mavericks, you're not
going to have many seasons.
Oh, no. The 80s have gold, and that's what
Machine was trying to do over the last
years. They, dude, they were like the fun team
in the 80s. I just... Yeah, but the 90s,
every single one was bad.
They were such a laughing stock
when we were kids.
That's true.
Javon Curse is 49.
The freak.
Brother of J-Rond.
who is not on the Cowboys anymore, right?
No, we talked to him, though.
Didn't we?
That's a good dude.
Rahim Morris is 49.
He was hired over Bill Belichick.
That's how good of a coach he was.
He's the Falcons coach.
Miles Jack is 30.
After week one, right?
After week one of Belichick in North Carolina?
It's not like Atlanta's begging to have those kind of results for their team.
Man, Miles Jack.
there was a time
I thought that was in the Zique year
so I thought he might have been an option
in the second round
Can you imagine if the Cowboys
had hired Belichick?
No, I never
We got Jordan here as well
Would she have been on the show yet?
She's up in the booth
Jerry would be angling to Piper by like
Oh gosh
It's just the word you used
I hadn't heard that one
Oh, sorry
What a loss
Pipe is a verb
Yeah
Yeah.
It would have been weird.
It would have been really weird.
It would be a word.
Because you know he would, he'll have no problem just being, same as Trump.
He'll be like, you know, and she's not bad to look at either.
I just hope to.
Well, I don't say that out loud.
Just want Jordan to get along with whatever 23-year-old Jerry's dating.
That's the key.
Yeah.
If they do outings together.
Jerry get along with whatever new kid pops up in the by week.
He was 24.
Mason Crosby is 41.
He was the Packers Kicker for 16 years.
The nephew of my orthodontist, Dan, back to you.
Nice.
That's a fun fact.
Okay.
Born in Lubbock, too.
Probably don't have to tell TZ that.
Jenny Finch is 45.
Struck out Barry Bonds.
Or at least A-Rod.
Yeah.
That's a gimmick.
That's a hot softball.
pitcher.
Todd Lewis, 60.
He's from the Toadies.
Oh, yeah.
Malcolm Gladwell, 62.
Man.
What do you think?
Bring out on Malcolm Gladwell.
It depends.
He's in Bill Simmons territory for me.
Like really glad he existed.
Glad he did it.
Cool.
Change the culture.
But as an individual thinker,
there are times where I'm
a little suspect you know everyone else i like hates him but i i i still think it's fine yeah
i know that they're mad at me for thinking that but it's okay what do he recently say well
he was talking about trans athletes uh oh and it made me think i want to reinvestigate like what
we were saying at the time because he was he just basically said i got i cowed i cowed
right so i thought he's supposed to be individual thinker he's like i went on state
stage at a panel, and I guess he just straight
up said, yeah, they should be participating
in women's sports.
Whereas I would have thought his take,
this very arrogant, would have been
closer to what mine is,
which is all along,
I thought that it would be like
you'd get tested for your testosterone
levels. It's a very, yeah, it's a difficult
that it's fluid, that it's not like,
oh, there can't be one, right, there can't be just one basic
rule. Right, like if there's a rule.
So that, and I know that's where it gets tricky
but to try to not exclude anybody,
there would be like a,
if you are taking this and that gets over this level.
That would also be very hard to do at the high school level.
But it's also difficult.
Like at the Olympic level, they do it.
Right, even, but at that level, it's tougher.
And we said this back then is,
because you grew up a man and developed a bunch of muscles,
and then all of a sudden you start, you know.
I still think that the tea, the level.
Or whatever.
Yeah.
The tea level thing, what would you do about like the,
The cases we've seen in the Olympics of people born women that produce it above average.
Right, that's the thing.
That's, yeah.
Yeah, and I mean, honestly, they made me, they made me play with boys.
And it was very clear early on that my tea was significantly more in line with the women in my high school.
Brother, you don't got to tell me.
But the other thing about Malcolm Gladwell is he's got like a billion dollars and his teeth are a mess.
And I have no respect for that.
The whole interview, he was making point.
I couldn't even look at anything.
You've got a million.
billion dollars. Right, our goal.
Did I tell you guys my wife got braces?
Like yesterday?
Oh, really?
It was so random. I liked it. You might have mentioned she was going to.
Is it hot?
No, but it's the hottest thing I've ever seen.
You like it?
It's an opportunity to play to play braces or braces, at least on one end of it.
You know, I get a read on.
Do you remember braces or braces?
No.
If your wife...
I don't.
Okay, so you're the wife.
Okay.
And you find a porn search on your husband's computer, and there's like a keyword.
Because you could search, you know, I usually search missionary.
I will type that in.
I search, I search, I search listening.
What?
I just like, I just loves listening.
Yeah.
Videos were, I just like to listen to women.
Y'all are, you know, but other.
That's what I, other people.
Other guys who are sickos.
Actually telling me your searches.
Those other guys are gross.
You're the wife and you find your husband.
porn search
and his porn search is
braces
are you more
concerned
if you find out
their mouth braces or leg braces
oh wow
okay
just has done a little
familiar this discussion
I think more concerned
mouth braces
and that's obviously
because of a new biol bent
to that particular
there's nothing illegal
about being interested in women
So you're not all, like, weirded out, though?
I'm weirded out, but it's better.
That's better.
Your wife would be like, oh, hey, leg brace, all right, cool.
I'll put them on.
Like, you're, I mean, either way, you're taking advantage of someone.
Twice in our lives, Jake and I have.
Well, no, you just said you have a 35-year-old woman that you know or how old she is.
The implication is you're taking advantage.
But you're right.
Certainly, there are one of possible, but you know the direction.
Yeah.
Now, Jake and I have a friend.
I'll decry to name him.
that twice we've asked him what search terms he uses
and both times it was the funniest answer
the first time we asked him the word that he said
he types into the site is
teaches
and then we brought that up to him
like five years later
and he's like oh yeah
nowadays I do dot MP4
I guess I don't even get that one
if you're uploading like the straight file and it just gives the file name like if it's just you
it's that raw made so it's extra amateur it's extreme proving it's amateur because there are
professionals that will I've discovered lie to you that yeah it's insane he gets around
insane I thought he was just in the grocery store and I just met by turning to Trump like show me
the birth certificate uh Dave Ramsey is 16
Now what I do is I save money
So here's what you do
I don't spend more than I bring in
Put some of in an envelope
Get a credit card
Then pay it off
Also Jesus was white
Those are his two big things
So I had a swerve
He's like compound interest is something you should
Understand also slaves weren't real
Yeah
I had a financial guy years ago
That after I switched financial guys
The new financial guy is like
Boy this other guy set you up
And all the stuff
that had all these fees, and, you know, he really did not do a good job for you.
I was like, oh, man.
And the guy that did not do a good job for me, the day I met him,
handed me a Dave Ramsey book.
Financial Freedom, baby.
And said, this is, you know, you should live by this and stuff.
And Dave Ramsey book seems very just obvious, man, right?
It's generic.
Also know people that have leaned on it and turned their whole thing around.
Some people, I mean, he's made millions of dollars because there's a lot of people out there
that need someone to tell them
really stupid stuff, like basic
stuff. You know, just, hey,
don't spend more than you have.
Like, there's a, I'd say most
people probably are like, oh, thank God
someone gave me this advice.
And it's like a roadmap.
So, if people are living
well, then
my asshole the slaves didn't you?
Oh, speaking of porn,
Amber Lynn is 61.
Don't know it.
Very old school.
I thought she was famous enough to mention here.
Maybe not.
Steve Sharipa is 68.
That is Bobby Bacallari in The Sopranos.
Oh.
And our Dumb's-owned birthday of the day, 60 years old today.
Charlie Sheen.
Dan.
Absolute legend.
Winning.
The Charlie Sheen era when he got ousted from me.
his show.
Yeah.
And then he did a concert tour.
AIDS.
And he was like live streaming every day.
But he would do, he somehow he just did some concert tour.
Yeah.
Where he would book the American Airlines Center.
And it would darn near fill up.
And people would just be cheering for, I was there.
You in groups.
I bought a sheenious t-shirt.
Oh, my guys.
Sports car.
They had a sports, yeah, they had another guy from the Sopranos or Oz
somebody was on stage with him.
They'd play music.
He'd say stuff and we'd cheer.
Oh, my gosh.
I mean, it was maybe a Trump precursor.
It was a bit of a...
We were just all there to hear this guy talk about how awesome he was,
and we'd just cheer, and it was great.
Whenever I found...
Winning, winning.
Jordan and I did a real deep dive into Charlie Sheen a couple years ago.
So great.
And there was a clip from that era where the view is trying to figure out
what's going on so crazy about Charlie Sheen and so they have on one of his close friends
as an expert and it's Alex Jones talking to the view about like Charlie's doing really good
actually man somebody pointed out to me you guys know two and a half men was about it's like
about Charlie Sheen's penis that's like the title there I thought it was the kid no I think
actually it's supposed to be like the kids an adult like the kids the mature one
and I don't know.
Somebody sent me like a...
But there's two guys and a kid.
I know.
So what's the...
Is it the half?
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Well, that would have to be three and a half
if the kid's an adult.
It's a bad point.
I've already said it.
Born on this day now dead,
Mort Walker,
he created the comic strip high and lowest.
If you were ever...
If you wanted to argue with me and say,
no, no, no.
Those were really worthy.
Those are great.
That's not a bad...
like that is just a product of the era correct yeah like the fact that comic strips existed
and maybe some of them had value but Calvin and Hobbs rips I agree
and so I guess without that era you would have never got Calvin and Hobbs
uh Jeremy Glick born in the stay now dead he I didn't know he was a real guy
no that's Jiminy Glick well that's the thing I was gonna say this is he's the guy that
tried to stop hijacking
of United Flight 93.
Oh, wow, really?
He said, let's roll.
He was the same name as Jiminy Glick?
Don't you feel like it's diminished a bit
that his name is Jeremy Glick?
Yes, yes.
Doesn't he mean a badass?
If his name was Jeremy Stone, you would know him.
Cole Steele or something.
He needs, yeah, like a badass name.
It is messed up.
We don't know.
Sully's on the first name basis,
but the guy who took down 93's not.
Right. And there are no movies about Glick.
Well, there's one called United 93.
Yeah.
Well, we don't know his name still.
But to your point.
Like a movie called Glick.
Like, holy.
That's what I meant.
Glick.
And dead on the state still dead.
You have Vince Lombardi and Ariel Castro.
Oh, no.
The Cleveland kidnapper.
He, uh...
You think they're linked in some way?
Lombardi?
I think he kind of killed himself in jail.
against
it does say
suey
yeah like they
he beat the odds
because it's probably
pretty hard
to offer yourself
in jail
unless you think
Epstein did it
out of a global
pedophilic
cabal
and that's what happened
on this day
in history
talk some windows
that's right
this is closing remarks
that's a tough fact
to follow now
right
and we have
we're sorry
about everything
you had to hear
I don't
believe that.
This guy will shoot you straight.
He's doing okay, I think.
He survived.
He survived.
He's still here to tell us about Windows.
And this isn't Joey from Window County.
No.
Or Windows City.
Windowburg?
This is Window, not even Windows State.
I kind of like Window Berg.
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah.
It is the Nation of Windows.
Yeah.
Windonation.com, right?
Yeah.
And that's where we like to send people, one of our newer sponsors.
What is, I passed by it earlier, but what is you all's relationship with the Cowboys?
So that's actually our fourth season now being partnered in a sponsorship with the Cowboys.
This year we actually expanded that to have more exposure.
So at the Star and Frisco, we set up all the time now for their game day practices and hang out with the cheerleaders.
They fight me for who gets to go do that.
So that's why they don't close the curtains at the Cowboys Stadium, yeah.
Yeah.
Because of the window thing.
The Window Nation windows are so nice.
Yeah.
Then we can't cover them up.
That's it.
What's the current, isn't there a new bit for September?
Yeah.
You'll have some cool stuff going on for this month, right?
Yeah.
So buy two, get two free.
And special finance and that we have right now,
has been pretty awesome, pretty popular, is no money down, zero percent with the option to not
have to make any payments for two full years.
It's amazing.
Yeah.
And just enjoy your beautiful windows for two years without having to pay for them.
Get them now, pay for them later.
It's pretty awesome.
Isn't there a cowboy tie-in, too?
Yeah, with a whole home of windows, you can get a customized Cowboys jersey, so you can get
your own personal name put on the back, or you can get your favorite player.
I'm going to get W-Nation.
Yeah, it's a good idea.
Why not?
I think you actually need to do this and get yourself a whole new home of windows, Jake.
Now, when you say buy two, get too free, did people get, hey, this window?
How does that work?
When you say one window, I'm actually interested in this.
Sure.
In the home, what is considered one window?
So that's actually a really good question because some people have a really big opening and everything in Texas is way bigger.
So they're like, oh, I have one window.
window in that room and you walk in and it's like, you know, eight feet wide and it's six feet tall. So there's
three windows in that single opening. Yeah. Yeah. So the buy two get to is so popular because people
end up having a lot more windows than they realize they do. There's a lot of windows in a house.
Yeah. Yeah. Like the average house in Pittsburgh would have like 10 or 12 windows. Down here, it's like
22. Oh my gosh. Yeah. And way taller. Yeah. So. Do you want your window? I'll bring it to you.
Sure. The guys want to see it. You all want to see a real life window?
You brought a window?
You guys haven't seen a window before?
I'd feel like Jack Hanna.
Have we ever seen a window?
He's going to crawl up on my head.
It's heavy.
This is a hissing cockroach, and this is a window.
Do you think if you got your windows replaced,
like it would it be a good idea to before they got,
like the people, do you guys remove the window?
Because I would want to destroy my old window as part of a...
Oh, yeah, smash it.
Yeah, so we actually have quite a few people that are like,
Hey, if I just walked outside with a sledgehammer,
could I just go to town on the window?
I'm like, we'll put it in the yard
and you can dance on it maybe,
but I make sure that, you know,
the rest of the house stays intact
when we take the old windows out.
Otherwise, we're rebuilding a wall
to put the window in and no.
That's why you guys would be experts.
But if you have the money, you would do that, right?
Well, yeah.
Hey, you want to pay for it.
We'll let you do it.
Okay.
What do you got there?
So this is actually just,
what a window.
What a window.
Beautiful.
Yeah.
I want to take some pictures of this window.
Uh-oh.
Now, she wants to take pictures.
Now, why is that window better than the crappy window I got in my house?
It's more energy efficient.
There you go.
That's the biggest thing, right?
Most of our customers now that are calling us have the older windows if they're more than like 15, 20, 30 years old.
They've got the old metal frame.
Seals pop.
They start to look all foggy.
So it literally keeps it in so that,
When your mom yells at you, I'm not here to air, air-conditioned Texas.
It will not be air-conditioning Texas.
Yeah, your neighbors are thanking you for all the air-conditioning.
You'll let flow outside.
Right.
Your old windows.
There's always that one room in the house that nobody can go in after like 1 o'clock in the afternoon
where you can fry an egg in there.
So the technology now is actually pretty awesome.
So when you insulate the frame, insulate the glass,
keeps everything that you want to be, you're paying for inside
and keep all the wonderful 100-degree heat on the outside.
How long does it usually take for someone to get the whole home done?
I mean, obviously it varies, but are we talking weeks?
So everything that we do is actually custom-built to each home unique.
So we don't have anything sitting in stock.
We come out and take precise measurements for each opening.
It takes about six to eight weeks to make the windows.
And then depending on the size of the project,
we can put a bigger crew on the job and get it done in only a day or two.
No, so there's not just a ton of mess.
And it's not like you're moving out necessarily.
during this. No, yeah, you can stay inside. Most people, you know, still work from home, so
we'll do the office first, and then, I mean, it's going to be loud, so they probably want to
take the day off, but we don't want to inconvenience people. And who wants to burn a vacation
day to have, you know, sit and watch windows we put in the house. That sounds pretty exciting
to me, though. Yeah. Especially with the hot pieces of buns you guys send out on these calls.
That's right. Joey's coming over. Well, Joey's the sales guy.
I'm the guy who sends the sales guys
I was the sales guy I was the sales guy

His leg is not the same
His kicks are like a sonic boom
You would never have to try and go for two
He can kick the ball from really anywhere
His nonchalant personally makes it seem like he has no care
And Aubrey was his name
We talk to him every week starting in July
Ask if he likes training camp, he will lie.
He will say, yeah, it's fun, but we all know he can't wait to be done.
Does he ever listen to Jerry's opening presser?
Does he ever feel any pressure?
The answer is notable.
Aubrey's never under oath.
He almost made a 75-yarder he was close.
Just wait till this year, all you other kickers are toast.
And Aubrey is his name.
the most accurate kicker in the game.
His leg strength is insane.
He's special teams, so he stays in his lane.
Hangs with the punter and long snapper.
He played soccer, sold software, now a new chapter,
he can kick the ball a country mile
his best friend is Dan McDowell
At least that's what Dan always claims
Brandon Aubrey the best kicker to ever play
again
