Boy, I tell you, some days, one of these days, it's just gonna be like... So can I get you gentlemen something more to drink? Or maybe something to nibble on? Some pizza shooters, shrimp poppers, or extreme fajitas? Just coffee. Okay. Sounds like a case of the Mondays.

Yes, indeed, happy Monday to those who celebrate. I'm gonna listen, I wanna listen, I wanna listen to the drums This is the Monday podcast. This is also a live stream day, which every Monday during football season will be. Just like we said last week, we're attempting to start them all at 11-11. Just like we said the week before last week, in honor of Micah. Are you saying this for a reason? What do you mean? Just because somebody forgot that we were starting at 11 on every Monday?

They did? It's the guy who won't talk until he's introduced. So do your thing and then he'll talk to us. Oh, okay. Danny Bayless. Danny Bayless. Morning, Dan. Danny Bayless.

Danny Bayless. Knock City, knock. Hey, Danny. How's it going? Great. How are you? You didn't know we were starting early? The Monday start.

Did you feel the Cowboy game not being yesterday might change our minds? No, I just looked at the calendar and the time said noon to three. And I still got here before you. That is amazing. I had a lot of traffic. There was flooding. There was high water. Because of the hurricane? The sun was in my eyes. Man, don't talk to me about traffic for the rest of October. Go on. Oh, fair? Dude. You went to the fair? No, but I live, the fair is between

me and you here. So anytime we're downtown, it doesn't matter what time of day. It's log jam right around 2nd Avenue. Not terrible today, but good God. I love the fair. I just don't like driving in its traffic. Do you love the fair? I do. I used to not.

The fair sucks. Now with a little one, you see it through different eyes. It's kind of fun. Or we're supposed to say it's good because Rob wanted us to go do a show out there or something.

No, we're not doing anything for the fair. The fair's, oh, we're not? Okay. All right. I did. So rip it if you.

Well, I read it and I thought about it, but I don't know. Here's a guy that needs to be responded to. Here's a guy that wants a response. Good idea. It is a good idea, but... Good idea, Rob.

You know, when is the fair like done? When's the whole thing over? End of October, right? It's like four weeks. Oh, we have that much time? Mm-hmm. Okay. I'm responding now.

This is where we respond to email like i if if you email me generally you won't get a reply but then just watch the show listen to the show i mean no two things go more together than the dumb zone and the fair yeah who doesn't love fried things. Yep. And pigs. And just being outside all day and being really hot and sticky and just- Getting shot. Maybe getting shot. Maybe going to look at animals, like walking up and down the thing, and then you're looking at different animals, and then you nod, and you're like, yep. There they are. That's a pig.

Wow. Another donkey. Look at that. That's a goat. Yep. another donkey. Look at that. That's a goat. Yep. Holy crap. A cow with horns? What's that?

How does a cow have horns? Anyway, I think it's a good idea, Rob. I think you're nothing but good ideas, and I'm responding to it now. That yes, let's go do something at the fair tomorrow. So if Big Fair wants to give us a call, we are open for business. We should back sell. We were at Pro Slat this past weekend.

A good time was had by, well, many. I don't know of all. I hate to say that. But that was pretty sweet out in Richardson. And I was hanging with my friend Daniel. Remember I told you Daniel was, I told you guys last week Daniel would be out there. And so Daniel has these moccasins on or some kind of weird shoe type thing. It didn't have rubber on the bottom.

And so I was asking him about his shoe. And then he started telling me about like how we walk around with rubber soles on our shoes and that we lose electrons and then that we're not like we don't get electrons from mother earth back to us because they're blocked by the uh rubber sole and he said so he started wearing these shoes and like walking around without shoes in the yard or around the house or something and that um and then you pass the joint back to him well no no no this had nothing to do with joints or anything so at first i'm listening to him and i'm thinking what kind of nut what is this stuff well i have no idea what he's saying nut what is this stuff well i have no idea what he's saying and then by the and like so that's all the info i'm going on is this guy i know told me and he's like i'm sleeping better i feel great

like i'm not getting as angry and as short with things and he's so he's like and we even got like a grounding mat. Rob, do you know anything about this stuff? Since you're all electric guy and you know about grounding. You know about grounding things, right? He's video man, not electric guy. He's like, yeah, we now sleep on this grounding mat. Wasn't Kyrie talking about this?

Was he? Yeah. Are you joking? Because Kyrie will talk about New Age? He was talking about this during the playoffs and stuff, that he walks around with no shoes on because he wants to be grounded. And he likes it here because he can be grounded here and walk around with no shoes on. I swear we talked about this with Kyrie.

That kind of makes sense. It does. Yeah, that fits Kyrie. So, like I said, this is all the info I'm going on. And I'm thinking even when we left, I had a bite to eat with him. And I was like, ah, seems kind of crazy. And then as I'm driving home thinking about it, I'm like, I'd like to sleep better. Who wouldn't?

Goddamn, I don't have any, all these, I feel like I'm lacking electrons in my body. It feels like they all just left me. Yeah. And I want to be better, a better person and not so short. And I just want to feel better about everything. And he's like, oh, we have a grounding mat. Our dog sleeps on it. And our dog, like, his fur is fuller now.

And like, I don't know. He's like, this changed my life. So I'm thinking he's this one nut, but I'm going to go follow him into the woods. And then I just searched, like, shoes without rubber sole. And then it's this huge thing that grounding shoes are a big, like a huge, huge market. that grounding shoes are a big, like a huge, huge market. And it kind of looks like if you're trying to eat healthier or do a little something better, like if you want to eat organic, you want an organic apple instead of a big apple, whatever,

it's like 50 cents more a pound. It's always more. If you want to do something that supposedly is better for you, it'll cost you more. Yeah. Cause it's made with love. Well, you would think if I don't have to have the rubber sole and it's kind of

like, kind of looks like a crappier shoe, it's going to be less. Yeah. And it's not. No. It's like, they're way more,

but yeah, it's this huge thing. Like people do it. And like, I was thinking, you know, we hope Jake will be back. The plan is he's going to be back next Monday. It'll be confirmed throughout this week.

But he's supposed to be back one week from today. And I thought, what if Jake and another thing. So he comes back. He's been gone like three or four weeks. He comes back. I'm like doing, I'm walking around barefoot. Yep. I'm standing because I got this.

Take a look over here. Mortgage mark. Lentos. Can I be heard? Yeah. I got a standing desk now. Wow, look at that. And so I was thinking of moving it over here and so first day

back like jake i'm just i walk in i'm like what i'm at a standing desk like mcafee yeah i'll go uh tank top or whatever yeah anyway barefoot standing desk yeah like i just totally i want to be totally different give one of those mini treadmills to put under your desk so you get your steps in during the show. You could hit 10 grand by break. Would that treadmill stop me from the grounding? I need the treadmill to be on a big piece of dirt. Put the treadmill on the grounding mat and walk barefoot. You're going to make him leave again.

You're going to live forever. That's the thing, man. Just trying to live a long time or at least like for another couple years so we can get out of debt so how long before you added new age moccasins to your shopping cart yeah did you do anything this weekend like did you i walked around out uh i walked around outside with just socks so i i went to the gym and i will uh give my mom a call on on sunday i always call my mom because i'm a good son very noble so i talk to her once a week you force yourself to do it on the same day every week and so i will walk uh

sometimes i get my steps in by walking around the parking lot just talking. And so I walked around the whole parking lot like three times with just socks on. Now I think I need

a new pair of socks. Yeah, that's not good for your socks, man. No. I hate being outside It makes your feet kind of sore too. It's the worst.

Especially if they get wet. Just throw them away. Well, how would they get wet? You step in a puddle or some dog pee. Yeah. There's not a lot of dogs peeing in the middle of the 24-hour fitness parking lot. Or around the perimeter, because I walked around the perimeter. Did you consider some moccasins?

Oh, yeah, yeah. No, it's still on the list. I don't know that I want to dive that... I'm doing my own research here, much like A-Rod. I gotta do my own research. Anyway, we're in our downtown Dallas studios today. I don't think... I wouldn't want to do

a show with you if you were barefoot. No? I'm just... I'm putting that out there. You always do show with me in just socks when we're in the den. Yep. Yeah, but that's your house. And so I don't know if that's grounding if I'm... Carpet?

On carpet in my house. Oh, he's gonna make us do the show outside. Yeah, do we have to go do the show outside so I could stand there and then I'll be full of electrons by the end of the show. so I could stand there and then I'll be full of electrons by the end of the show. I'll be like, I could be kind of like, um, not Homelander. Who am I trying to think of from, from the boys? One of the superheroes gets all their power from electricity.

Only you would know. Okay. I'm about to leave. Only me. I mean, in this room. Only you would know. Okay, I'm about to leave. Only me. I mean, in this room. Me and millions of other satisfied customers who watch The Boys on Amazon Prime. The shoes-off thing at Dan's Loft, the Dragon Den, it causes me great consternation because there's been two times that I've been on my way to Dan's and realized that I've worn no-show socks

and I hate the way those look without shoes. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, the really low ones. The really low ones that look like you forgot socks and you're trying on shoes at a shoe store and they give you those little slip-on things. That happened to me the other day. So I have to remind myself,

don't wear stupid socks. I got extra socks. To Dan's house. I have like a whole, a 10 pack. Rob has borrowed some in the past. Like they're brand new and I'll just break them out for you

if you need some socks. Is that why, why would you need socks if you're, is it to, in case you were like flip flops? What do you mean? To your house? Why would you need to? What do you mean? To your house? Why would you need to give somebody socks if they were at your house?

Yeah. That's why. If they don't want to go up there barefoot. I stepped in a water puddle in his garage. My socks were wet. All right. What color do you think they were? Black. There you go.

Well, what time of day was it? Daytime? Are you guys against my black socks? Well, no. I'm just saying. These socks matter. You wear black socks during the day, but your night socks are white. My night socks are white.

And I hate that I know that about you. That's how I can. I don't know if I've ever seen Dan at night. That's the thing. It's a great thing to see. You see him coming. Anyway. At least his ankles We're in our downtown Dallas studio

We have a lot of football today You do I had a good night I had a good night yesterday Because of With the no cowboys It was very relaxing The pressure was off

Yeah I didn't have to listen to every word a commentator said Yeah, make notes, go back, do it again. Or watch any of it. Cut all the audio. Oh, well. Yeah, you can go that way. Okay, I guess that's what you might do on a show that just talks a lot of football.

Around the NFL will just be you and I. Okay. It usually is. You and me. Yeah. Around the NFL, you and I. I am, yeah, you're right, you and me. Yep.

Totes. We're learning English here, you're right. You and me. Yep. Totes. We're learning English here. We're doing a lot of stuff. Learning about electrons. So he, I can't believe he hit you with that at like 9.30 in the morning. What?

Was this after the? The whole electrons thing? Or was it after the show? It was after the show. Okay. After the show. Still, at two o'clock in the afternoon. Even worse, you're trying to get out of there and getting cornered by a guy talking about

your foot electrons. No, he's a buddy. I wanted to have lunch with him. This sounds like a cloud of smoke conversation at 1145 on a Friday night. No, he sold me, dude. Electrons, man. I think I'm in. This guy's healthy.

Yeah? Fit. Slaying it. Getting tail left and right. Yeah, that's my goal. Yeah. Fit. Slaying it. Is that what you... Tail left and right. Yeah, that's my goal. You want to be slaying it? My goal is to slay it. Speaking of slaying it, in studio we have Shane from

Colleyville. Remember Shane? He's a former Fight Night contestant. Probably Victor. Victor? Yeah. I mean, look at him. I remember when Shane used to weigh about 150 pounds. Yeah, now he's all cut. Beefy.

You met him when he was a high school kid, right? Somewhere. High school, college. After college. I met you when I was 18. I just graduated a month before. I think Danny I met when I was 20. Yep.

You were in college when I met you. Yeah. You were finally legal. What are you, 6'6"? 5. 6'5"? Yeah, about 6'5", 165, I think is about what you weighed in back then. It took me 23 years, but I put on another 90 since then.

How's your electrons? My electrons suck. Okay. But I do know a guy that's into all this nonsense. Yeah? Yeah, and it's... He's also into CrossFit, so it all tracks. It's kind of the same vein of people. It's all marketing, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just to get cash. Yeah, but they'll go out...

As opposed to spending five to ten minutes doing yoga or stretching in the morning, he'll go outside in his yard and grip his toes into the grass. Okay. Lay down for a little bit. Okay, that's me. I can do that.

No, you can't. Can you see that? No, I can't. You won't do this. I want to grip my toes into something, man. It's going to be great. You're going to grip your toes into the leavings of Bodhi.

I'd also like to- And that's going to be funny. Like to acknowledge that in studio, back there next to a video man, is another video man, Michael Copeland. What's his website? Copeland Productions? A. Copeland Productions.

No, Production. Just one production. Copeland Productions was taken, so now it's acopelandproduction.com. A. oh okay because it's a copeland production yeah a copeland production yeah why do we have so many hot guys in here um yeah we shouldn't invite hot guys that hurts us yeah it makes us look bad they're're all hot. They're all tall. And then there's little Blake. And here's me.

Tiny Blake. Tiny Blake. Anyway, so I already kind of told you some of my weekend check, I guess, because I'm now Electra Man, or I hope to be. But we do have a weekend check, and we want to say it is sponsored today by a brand new client. Client? Are they a client? Or are we their client?

You could be their client. Anyway, they're a sponsor. It is OwnWell. Yes. And Blake was actually quite fired up about OwnWell because this is your, you've already, like you've used them many times. Yeah. Okay. What is OwnWell? I'm a customer. So I was very upset about this time last year because of my property taxes.

So I bought my first house in 2021 and then just went through the gambit of your house is worth, you know, something way up here. This is how much you have to pay. And then once you start paying taxes on it, then it's just, it skyrockets. So I found OwnWell and they help you fight property taxes and, you know, went through their system, put in all the information and they saved me a good chunk of change on my property taxes. Now that's their main draw, but it doesn't stop there. They've lowered my cable bill, my phone bill, and a couple of my subscriptions. So own well helps you save money. And the best part is you don't have to pay like anything upfront. You don't have to pay anything per month or per year. You just pay a small percentage of what they save you. What? So really, you know, they saved me a bunch of money on my property taxes.

I just pay a really small percentage of that and that's it. It's wonderful. Okay. Their big bid is that now, or I guess October, you start getting your property tax bill. Yes. Yeah.

So you're going to open that piece of mail. You're going to get really upset. Every time. Yeah. You're like, why? How'd this happen? My house has gotten worse, but the property taxes go up.

Right. But OwnWell helps you. They save an average, average customer saves about $1,200 on their property taxes. Damn. Why am I just now learning about this, Blake? OwnWell.com. Yes, OwnWell.com. That is where you go.

OwnWell.com. Takes a few minutes. Like three minutes, Ownwell.com That is where you go Ownwell.com Takes a few minutes Like three minutes it says Yeah Seriously, it's your name And it's just some info on your house And your area And that's it, they do the rest

How'd they lower your What was it? Your phone bill? Alright, weekend check time That's great What do you want to talk Ten minutes about this? Well

Weekend check With Danny Bayless. Because you said you did stuff this weekend. I had a friend in town that I have not seen in 14 years. They're still here. And the last time I saw him, he was in Texas and single. He was in Texas and single. 14 years later, he's back in Texas, and he is married and has a 10-month-old son.

Now, this is a guy that I've known since 2000, that he and a buddy were brought over from Liverpool, England by a ticket P1. A guy had gone to Liverpool on vacation, saw this kid's band play, loved him, said, I'd love to bring you guys to Dallas or to Texas. So he brought them over, hit me up. I never met the handler before and said, Hey man, I know you're in the music scene. Do you think you could help these guys get them a gig? And I go, well, I need to hear them first. scene do you think you could help these guys get them a gig and i go i need to hear them first right you would want to and they were great and i hit it off with two of the guys in the band and uh his name is mark and we've stayed in contact for 25 20 24 25 years and just watched him he's like in his like 48 now something like that and we've just been buds for a long time and he loves texas and

loves americana the whole you know route 66 country music the whole you know old westerns and stuff like that so he's really in love with like we you have people that we call anglophiles that are love soccer and all things uk he's kind of like the same thing for america so but i haven't seen him in 14 years so it was really nice to hang out with him and run around with his family and had my kid and you know three and a half year old and a 10 year old surprisingly actually got along and hung out and so I had a 48 with a three-year-old yeah okay no 48 with a 10 month old 10old. 10-month-old? Uh-huh. Young wife. Hey, now.

Hey, now. So, you know, that could be you one day, Dan, if you get your electron mat and start running around in moccasins. That's the whole goal. You can get young butt and have a fresh baby. Yeah, who wants old butt? Well, hopefully the young butt that I'm trying to get. I hope she wants old. The young butt that's trying to remove your moccasins?

Yeah. To get on it? Who is it? So is it a band anyone's heard of? No. Okay. No, no, no. No.

How about you, Video Man? You got anything for us today? Oh. Video Man doesn't have anything. I know he was out at ProSlat quite, quite early. The one funny thing about hanging out with Mark and his wife is they, like I said, lifelong Liverpudlians in their accents. It's like hanging out with the freaking Beatles. It's so funny.

Just the way they talk. Yeah, yeah. Their accents are great. Boy, pro-slut. They were drinking wine, having a good time, having a good Saturday. They walk around with beer. Hey, would anybody like one?

No, no, no. Video man. Yeah, I'll take one. Yeah. Yeah, like 10.30 in the morning. Well, he had been there like four hours. It's incredible. Doesn't stop him. I'd like to tell you about my recent trip to the dentist, if I may,

because I hadn't been in a decade. Oh, really? Okay. Yeah, I know I'm a slob. I know I'm gross. I get it. Whatever. But the last time I went was slob. I know I'm gross. I get it. Whatever. But the last time I went was when I was still on my parents' insurance

because they could cover it. And once I turned 25, I wasn't making enough to have stuff like that. So that was just one of the things that fell off. And so working at the ticket, when we did have insurance, I wasn't making enough to contribute to a dental fund. Dental insurance is like $10 a month. Was it? It's really cheap, yeah.

Well. Or $10 a pay period. Needed that $10. Yeah. So wife got really good insurance, signed up for dental, and decided I got to go. signed up for dental and decided I got to go. And it was one of those things where I hated going to the dentist as a kid.

Like someone scraping on your teeth and just beating the hell out of your gums didn't really interest me. And so when I, I don't know, got of age, I just thought, I'm an adult. I can make my own decisions. I won't put myself through this pain. And then you start working with Dan. You want to be a little healthier. You want to make good decisions. You want to floss 14 times a day. You want to try to live a little bit longer. And they tell you that your oral health leads to heart health and all this stuff. So I went and I mean, I seriously, from the time I made the appointment to the appointment, I dreaded it.

And even sitting in the chair, you know, they took my blood pressure. It was really high because I'm just sitting there nervous. Wow. See, for me, that's changed over the years. Like, that was a little kid thing. Like, oh, you don't want to go to the dentist. And now I kind of look forward to it. Going to have a nice clean mouth. Yeah, because they're going to tell you, oh, you're doing so good.

Oh, I can tell you floss all the time. A nice lady kind of brushing against have a nice clean mouth. Yeah, because they're going to tell you, oh, you're doing so good. Oh, I can tell you floss all the time. A nice lady kind of brushing against me, cleaning my teeth. Well, they don't like me. That's all I get nowadays. Like the brushing against me.

What did you used to get? Not that I used to slay, but, you know, these days you have to take, you have to take whatever you can get. So you go. But nice, you know. Well. Anyway.

So I'm signing all the forms, and, you know, they got to know, do you have a heart murmur? Have you ever had a stroke? Have you, whatever. Do you have this ailment? Do you have that ailment? Does the dentist need to know all that stuff? Yeah, and they were asking like, what's your drug use? How often do you smoke? Right.

How often do you drink alcohol? I was like, I don't think you need to know this. Do you guys always lie on that stuff? No. I did. You tell the truth? Yeah, like. Alright, video man. But back when I was drinking, you know, six tall boys a night or whatever. Hell yeah.

I had to lie about that. Yeah. I had to. Yeah, I just skipped those. I just felt bad about my own self. Same thing if I... The amount I would smoke or the amount I would chew or if they're like, have you ever used illegal narcotics?

Nope. Yeah, what? Because I'm not going to put that on there, even for my regular doctor. Yeah, I feel like if you're talking- I just feel like the government can see that or something and they're going to get me someday. I don't want them. If you're talking to your therapist, maybe they would need to know that, but dentist doesn't need to know that. I just don't need to put it on paper anywhere. Sure. And sign my name to it. So I got down to erectile dysfunction. All right. And there was- Like, why was that on a dental thing?

In case the assistant brushes up against you, wants to know what she's getting into. Here's my issue. It's yes or no. I wanted a hell no button. not me not me bro it's never happened to me i was just i was going down like okay functioning you might need to know if stroke i would just like look at the alcohol consumption and just draw an arrow that points to that yeah i mean some they're they're very connected. Why does this dentist need to know all these questions? What if that was the one thing you marked?

Yes. Because you know how it's always, no, no, no, no, you can just kind of draw a line through the boxes. Or, oh. And then the lady definitely sees that. Yeah. And then they have, like, a reasons box or other box, but I could put yes, and then, like, looking for help, dot, dot, dot,

or something. Maybe that could be my icebreaker. But then dysfunction, that's subjective. I think it's working fine. Works for a little bit. You're not done, are you? I can be if you want.

No, no, no. I don't want you to be. I want to know what the dentist said after 10 years of blowing him off. How bad were they? So they do the x-rays, they do all this, and then, yeah, she could tell that I was going to have a hard time with my deep clean. Did you have infections in your gums and all that? Not really. I mean, even as a kid, I never had a cavity, didn't have to do any of that. So, I mean, I didn't have any serious work. It was just a lot of scraping. Never had a cavity? No. Wow. I think someone

people are just naturally... I think there's a good amount of naturally inclined for whatever. I think my wife has never had a cavity. I've had a million of them. I had to get one filled last year. I've had a million as a kid, but then I haven't since I started better taking care of my teeth. Yeah, it's probably a genetic thing. But I think as a little kid, I was never told to floss.

Yeah, I was. I had a 19-year-old mom. She wasn't really into parenting. And so she's taking me through the x-rays and whatnot, and it's all fine. She got older. Just some preventative stuff. But then, yeah, the deep cleaning just,

I have a Fitbit where I can track my heart rate. Yeah. And I can see, like, the spikes of just sitting there in the chair. Did you do gas or anything? They had, like, a local, like, gel that they put on it. But they'll give you some nitrous to calm you down, too, if you want it. Oh, really? Yeah.

Yeah. How long were you there? I was there for a long time because they did, you know, the initial stuff of, hey, let's take your x-ray, take your pictures was there for a long time Because they did the initial stuff Of hey let's take your x-ray What's a long time? A couple hours right? I was there for three and a half hours Whoa

Yeah I missed a meeting Wow How do you feel? Good? I'm good now Are you going to go twice a year now? Yes, you should. I was going to ask you, because they said we recommend coming back every three months. Oh.

If it's been, okay, so I did the same thing about a year and a half ago. It had been probably 12 years since I'd been to the dentist for similar reasons, mainly just laziness. And it's kind of the last thing you think about. Yeah. I brush every day. I everything's fine i started having some pain and i have a really good buddy that i've known for a long time that is a great dentist and he once or twice a year he's like we got to get you in the chair i'm like i know i know i'll do it so i finally booked the appointment went through everything that you went through the the x-rays. They checked the gum line.

My gum lines had been kind of receding a little bit because just the lack of professional care on them. And I was there for two and a half hours, too, with all the scraping. I had to go back and get a deep clean after one side of my mouth healed. And I had to do the other side. And it was infection. They made me rinse with hydrogen peroxide for a week. It was not good. My teeth were so bad.

Like, not cavities. I had one tiny cavity in one of my wisdom teeth. My teeth were so bad with infection under the gum line that my two top wisdom teeth were just loose, and he just pulled them out. Normally, at my age, you have to go in there. It's kind of dangerous to get them pulled out, and you have to go to an oral surgeon,

and it's a pretty big deal, but these, he just had the pliers and just yanked them out. But I dedicated myself after that visit to doing the appointments and flossing every single day and the brushing and doing it the right way the electric toothbrush all of it and i went back three months for a follow-up because they recommended it after kind of like what you and i did but after that six months is pretty normal once you get like clear and i went back for the after a six month period and everything was perfect other Other than, you know,

a little bit of plaque that they had to scrape off, but you're going to be so thankful that you did this because I know I am. So they, so now I'm, you know, getting everything itemized

for my insurance and whatnot and I'm just going through some of the things that they're charging me for and one of them was like education. Like how to floss. 95 bucks. Yeah.

What? Yeah. It says education is 95 bucks? I'll have to find it, but it's basically teaching you how to brush and how to floss and next to it, the charge was $95. I think you should,

I would dispute that charge. Well, I didn't, it's to the insurance. The insurance will dispute that. Trust me. Insurance companies negotiate with dentists and doctors all the insurance. The insurance will dispute that. Trust me. Insurance companies negotiate with dentists and doctors all the time. My out-of-pocket was zero, so I didn't really care. But still, for her to say,

okay, you know, you grab it like this, you go down, and then you try to make a C with it and do this. So you've never flossed? No, I didn't. That was not... She just did that, and they're charging the insurance. I know how to brush and floss, but they just like, educate $95. Pay it, insurance.

The medical field when it comes to insurance companies is let's ask for the world and see what gets kicked back. It's kind of like when Norm turned in his expense reports when going on the road. I mean, might as well invoice them for the newspaper I bought and spent a dollar on. I might get that back, but in most cases, no. They negotiate with them. So sometimes if you don't have insurance and let's say your big bill was like $1,500, if you don't have insurance, they'll settle with you for sometimes half and even less if you're just paying cash. Cause they know that's probably all they're going to get from the insurance company anyway. That's really funny. You say that because when she was going

through my receipt and she was telling me, you know, are these prices okay? A little bit of me was like, what do you mean is this okay? Are you allowed to make deals? Can we barter? Yes, 100%. I didn't know this either until

the last few years. I was like, you did all this and I thought this was the end, but the way she approached it, she was like, what do you think about these prices? Well, I don't know. If you had a $1,000 bill that you, say for whatever reason, you didn't want it to go on your insurance to file a claim or have them file the claim. And you said, you know what? I'll pay you cash right now, $450.

In most cases, they'd probably take it. Wow. Yeah. I had no idea you could barter with a dentist. Yeah. That's great. But no no I've been flossing every day I think of you every single time That's hot You floss him with one hand

Oh damn What's the other hand doing? Thinking of Dan And his young butt No he's got old butt Yeah he does have old butt But now he's about to have outside feet, which is gross. Maybe.

Not sure. Maybe I'll just, I have lots of socks, so I'll just wear all my socks out and see how it goes. Doesn't that defeat the purpose? Don't you need to be barefoot being at one with nature, not with a sock barrier? Apparently the sock, it's just no rubber. It's always been your thing, no rubber.

Right. That's right, man. You know it, bro. No, I've always said no glove, no love. That's not what you say off the air. Well, that's for you. He's never used one. Hitting me.

You know what? Before NFL, I have College Football, at least tiny note. And let's say College Football, tiny note, has a sponsor today. Want to do that? Okay. And let's say College Football, tiny note Note is sponsored by Lone Star Beer, the national beer of Texas, celebrating 140 years of brewing in Texas. They are a, should I say a proud partner?

You don't know how they feel. I'm proud of them. They may be a dumb zone. They are a partner. They may be an embarrassed partner, but they're partners. They could be embarrassed. But, yeah, they've hooked us up. We do some

cowboy watching parties. Gonna have another one this coming Sunday, as a matter of fact. High atop my garage for Sunday night football. And Lone Star Beer will be there. It says here, perfect with a tray of barbecue. And

they have awesome merch, including this hat that I am wearing today. And you could buy this hat or other merchandise when you go to LoneStarBeer.com. Why would I have to go search for that in the copy? I should just know that. Obviously, LoneStarBeer.com. And use the code DUMZONE21, and you get 21% off merchandise. Why that crazy number? Because you must be 21 or over to purchase.

So sorry, kids, you can't wear this hat. Well, you can't purchase this hat. Maybe if you have an unruly adult in your life, they will purchase this hat for you, and then you can wear it and wow all your friends in high school. Look at me. I have beer on my hat. I'm wearing a beer hat.

But lonestarbeer.com. The code is dumbzone21. And you could be authentically Texan like me. All you got to do is wear this hat, and all of a sudden you are authentically Texan, like me. All you got to do is wear this hat, and all of a sudden, you are authentically Texan. So, and that leads us into tiny college football note, and for, well, I don't know if you guys, I'm not a big college football guy.

Jake's really fired up about college football. It was the first SEC weekend, correct? Was this the first one? Yeah. For Aggie and... Conference play. No, not Aggie, for UT and OU. Yeah.

Yeah. And things went very well for them. And it was not the first weekend, but it was the first home game for USC in the Big Ten. Now, they lost their first game, did they not? Didn't they lose to Michigan, their first Big Ten game? Yeah. Or am I high?

No, you're right. Okay. But they beat Wisconsin. And the first ever touchdown scored at home against a Big Ten team was by? Deuce. Do you know that? Or are you just guessing and that's the only reason I would bring this up? Yeah, I assume you're not talking about anyone else.

I don't know if you know who Deuce Robinson is. Heard the name. But he's a guy that he was a top, top recruit, and I met him when he was on a recruiting trip to Clemson. And I met his dad at that point. And now we're like best friends with his dad, Dominic Robinson. And then Deuce has been in den, in studio. He's been with us a few times.

Dominic's been in the den. He's been here at our downtown DZ TV studios as well. Anyway, Deuce was interviewed, and if Deuce is out there doing stuff, he's kind of – he's only a – did they redshirt him last year? So is he called a freshman? No. I don't think he redshirted. Okay.

So he's a sophomore. Yeah. But it feels like he's scoring at least a touchdown a game. Let's take a listen to him after they defeated Wisconsin. You guys had to come from behind 28 unanswered points. How were you guys able to get that done against Wisconsin? Man, you know, I think this team's just resilient, right? We faced the same thing last week.

And, you know, the result didn't end the way we wanted it to. But I think we took those lessons, took that fight, brought it into this week. We knew exactly what we needed to do when we were down. Regrouped at halftime and came out and did what we needed to do. You scored in USC's first Big Ten game and their first Big Ten game at home. How does that feel? It's a blessing.

But more so, it's just really cool to be able to be a part of this team. Be a part of history. We know we know him we gotta get him to work in bits for us he's our NIL guy he should end every interview with no puppet

that's kind of funny these guys started playing like two feet away from him how good does this feel? man it feels amazing These guys started playing like two feet away from him. Tough questions, though, fired at Deuce's head. How does this feel? I don't know. Right now, it doesn't feel great. This effing trumpet section is playing right in my ear.

All right, so anyway, that's college football for today, Right in my ear. All right, so anyway, that's college football for today, unless you have anything to add. No, I was just thinking why I wasn't, I'm not a big college football guy, and I think it's just because I don't play college football fantasy. Like, honestly, that's the big draw for me watching some of these games on Sunday.

Dude, all day Sunday, it was about fantasy to me. Yeah. I had a terrible... It's always terrible if your fantasy team scores 90 and your bench scores 130. Oh no.

Which is what happened to me yesterday. And here's my dilemma. So my bench, like my starting quarterback is Mahomes. So that seems great, right? Yeah. My bench quarterback is Baker, and he's going off.

Like he's awesome. That's where we can start. Okay. Baker Mayfield. Why not? Let's talk a little football. A little NFL football. But yeah, man, I just

can't, I don't know. It's so hard to try and pay attention to all the NFL teams and like all of college football. So I just have, I have difficulty trying to take that all in. I know that makes me, that's an anomaly around here, I believe.

But yeah, so let's find Tampa Bay. Baker's slinging it like this every week. He's been going nuts, except for one game. They had one bad game. The Baker cycle. Well, meaning, is their offense designed for him to be throwing 50 times a game?

Pretty much. I don't know. Yeah, I guess they got some pretty good receivers. Damn. And that's what I would do. 347 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and a rushing touchdown as they destroyed Philadelphia. 33-16. Pets' heads are as they destroyed Philadelphia. 33-16.

Pets' heads are falling off in Philadelphia. Rumors about Nick Sirianni perhaps being let go because this is the bye week. Oh. This is the first bye week of the season, and Philly is one of those teams. And, yeah, what are they now? Are they 2-2? 2-2. Yeah, at one point in this game, pretty close to halftime,

the Bucs had 255 total yards. The Eagles had zero. Browns fans, friends of mine, were texting me at halftime that Baker in two quarters has as many touchdowns as Deshaun Watson in three games. Yep. Which he did. And I think, was it Baker had more passing yards in the first half than Deshaun Watson has had in a game as a Brown? Really?

I think that was the stat I saw. Well. So, good trade. Let's see. We also had some good fun. I think this is good fun. With the broadcast. So it was the game of the week. Mm-hmm. Which, of course, is good fun. With the broadcast.

So it was the game of the week, which, of course, is Tom Brady. Tom Brady used to play for? New England Patriots. And? Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay. So they're coming back from break here. So you'll hear them come back from break.

And then Brohard and Tom Brady will pick it up. 9-1-1 Lone Star, the final season tomorrow on Fox. Oh, Kim. I kept that in only because... So it's the final season of 9-1-1 Lone Star. I'm guessing it's not the second season or else you wouldn't deem it as that. So it must be long.

It must be some extended thing. Anyone here ever seen one minute of 9-1-1 Lone Star? I watched the pilot because it was Texas. Yeah, it was Lone Star. Rob Lowe, I believe, is the lead in it. And when it came

out, I think we had some homework assignment just to watch it on the hard line and report back. And all of us thought it was horrible. Okay. So it's a pretty old show. Yeah. It's been around for years.

You were on the whole hard line doing an assignment for that. Okay. Anyway, that's not what's interesting about this cut. 911 Lone Star, the final season tomorrow on Fox. Oh, Baker Mayfield sizzling to start and took a little playful jab at our guy here

said quote they wanted me to come in be myself bring the joy back to football for guys who weren't having as much fun it's funny because you've made this environment for me very stressful up here in the booth so i i understand where he's coming from do you feel it no stress no well i was gonna say i thought stressful was not having Super Bowl rings. So there was a mindset of a champion that I took to work every day. This wasn't daycare. If I wanted to have fun, I was going to go to Disneyland with my kids. Yeah, so as you were saying, go ahead.

I feel like there's more in there to say. There's a way to approach this game, and it's that with the right mindset and try to push each other outside of our comfort zone, and great teammates do that. You come in, I have someone like Gronkowski, I have someone like Evans. There's high expectations for us. We've got to make sure we go out there and deliver.

The competitive juice is still flowing. It's still in there. No apologies. Hell yeah. That's great. Kind of funny in there how he did say, you know, great teammates do that. I think he was saying he's a great teammate. Great teammates hold you accountable.

Yeah, and great teammates win you Super Bowl rings. So he's trying to say, yes, Tom Brady is saying I am a great teammate because great teammates will you Super Bowl rings. So he's trying to say, yes, Tom Brady is saying, I am a great teammate because great teammates will hold you accountable. Boy, he knocked KB's needle right out of the groove, didn't he? With that, I want to hear his reply or his response. Also, in listening to this, I think KB wanted to move on because he's KB and he doesn't know what good TV or broadcasting is. And I think he had a producer in his years.

Stay on this. Keep going, Keep going. Keep going. Because listen, he's about to move off and then he brings it back. He's uncomfortable, clearly. Yeah. Baker was on a podcast last week. He said, the building was a little bit different with Tom in there.

Obviously, playing wise, Tom is different. He had everybody dialed in, high strung environment. So I think everybody was pretty stressed out. They wanted me to come in, be myself, bring the joy back to football for guys who weren't having as much fun. You hear some of the stories about if he didn't like a certain play call and he didn't like it throughout the week and they still call it in the game, there might have been a throwaway on purpose or throwing it at the running back or receiver's feet. Interesting. There were a lot of mind games going on.

I mean, that was an unfiltered shot that Tom fired. That was good. Can you play it again? I want to hear it again. Baker started it. It's just interesting to hear a color guy in a booth respond. That's why I said I love it. That's why I said that I love it because this is fantastic.

Baker Mayfield sizzling to start and took a little playful jab at our guy here. He said, quote, they wanted me to come in, be myself, bring the joy back to football for guys who weren't having as much fun. It's funny because you've made this environment for me very stressful up here in the booth, so I understand where he's coming from. Do you feel it? No.

I was going to say I thought stressful was not very stressful up here in the booth. So I understand where he's coming from. Do you feel it? No. Do you feel the stress? No. Well, I was going to say, I thought stressful was not having Super Bowl rings. So there was a mindset of a champion that I took to work every day. This wasn't daycare. If I wanted to have fun, I was going to go to Disneyland with my kids. So good. Yeah, so as you were saying.

Yeah, he's like, I can't believe he just did that. And he's about to move off. I think Brohard is like, I can't believe you just kind of killed him. I agree with Blake 100%. Producer in the IFB, stay on this. Get more. So good. That was great. Boy, Brady's so pissed when he starts.

Well, I was going to say. I was just going to, yeah. And he says, you know, you've made this a stressful environment for me. Trying to be sarcastic. Can you feel it? Yeah. Yeah, Brady's upset by that. Yeah.

I love that. That's probably in the top 100 of clips that you've played, Dan, in your career. Just like. What are some of the others? Remember Troy? Well, there's 97, which I'm a big fan of. No, we don't have time. Go ahead, Dan.

Would Troy be upset? What was it? It was when people would tweet about... Him being gay? It wasn't that. That was in a book. Oh. People would tweet about Mahomes already has, now this is a few years ago.

Yeah. It was Mahomes in like year three already has more passing yards than Troy Aikman did in nine years, something like that. and then Troy, who doesn't really tweet a lot unless it's promoting something, answered that and said, well, call me when he's got three Super Bowls. And then I think now he does. That would have been funny at the night after the Chiefs win their third, Troy picked up his phone. I think he did. I think he addressed it. What's this for?

Oh, okay. Here we go. What happened? Mahomes has thrown 36% of Aikman's career touchdowns in 8% of the games. Okay. Aikman quote tweets, talk to me when he has 33% of my Super Bowl titles.

That was in 2019. Which he did at the end of the year, maybe. He now has 100% of his Super Bowl titles. Yeah. In 58% of his games. That one kind of backfired, but funny in the moment. I think he did acknowledge that once he got his third Super Bowl. He had to have.

He was cool about it. Anyway, yeah, now the Eagles are 2-2. Cowboys are 2-2. Giants are what? 1-3? They're 1-3. They're not significant for sure. Did you say the Commanders?

No. Because they're probably the best team in the division. It's unbelievable right now. I don't... How? Their offense is so good dq bro well the offense is cliff and that's important too because cliff kingsbury i think this is his thing oh see yes yeah we were talking about that last or on Saturday with Fotch. You don't have to make everybody a head coach. You could actually be a young, hot, innovative

assistant that doesn't have to go any higher. Like, he can do great. He can make millions a year being the offensive coordinator and someone's going to give him a head coach job again. And he'll probably fail. The NFL is just a living example of the Peter Principle.

Like, you're a really good coordinator. Just be a coordinator. Yeah. And that's what Cliff is doing. I mean, it's perfect. Jaden Daniels ran this system in college, and he's now running it with Cliff, and he's making it look really easy,

completing 80% of his passes. 82%. Is he better than Caleb? Best in league history through four games. Tom Brady is second. He was 79.2% in 2007, the year that, isn't that when he threw for 50 touchdowns?

Yeah. Just went nuts. He also leads the league in passes completed, traveling at least 10 yards past the line of scrimmage. So it's not like he's just dinking it. With 71%. Let's see. They have punted once in two weeks.

Damn. Remember last weekend, or last week, was like the game, wasn't it Cincinnati? Where neither team punted or had a turnover, and that was the first time since like 1940 that that's happened. They won this week 42-14 at Arizona. So they're on the road, too. Two straight road games dominating. Yeah, that was a big one for Cliff. Oh, that's right.

A little Cliff Kingsbury coming back to Arizona game. They've scored on 68% of their drives. That is the highest rate through four games for any team since the year 2000. That is the highest rate through four games for any team since the year 2000. There's a lot of impressive things about the Washington, Pat. They've got the Browns, Baltimore, Chicago, and Pittsburgh coming up. And those teams all have pretty good defenses. They have allowed 18.5 points per game.

So let's see what happens here. So this is a tough stretch, at least. What can you really tell with the first four games? Because who has everybody played? But it'll be a test at least. And the interesting quirk in the schedule is Washington doesn't face the Eagles or the Cowboys until Week 11, and then four of their last seven games are against either the Eagles or the Cowboys. So that should be fun if all those teams are still healthy,

all the quarterbacks are in place, which you never know. Because isn't that what we were talking about with Jaden Daniels? He just looks so little, like just slight. Yeah. Is this going to be RG3 all over again, where his body just can't take the pounding? Yeah, because he runs a lot. And from what I've seen, he doesn't slide a whole ton.

Like, what are we thinking right now about... It feels like the AFC... You kind of feel like the powers are... You got your Bills. You got your Ravens. I still like the Texans. And, of course, the Chiefs. Okay, and why shouldn't I still like the Texans. And, of course, the Chiefs. Okay, and why shouldn't I still like the Texans?

They are 3-1. They just don't seem to be doing it like we thought they would. You know, kind of close games. Yeah, close game against Jacksonville Sunday. But those teams are all 3-1 or 4-0. Kansas City undefeated. Ravens 2-2, but two in a row. Oh, I'm sorry.

Steelers are 3-1. But yes, two in a row, and apparently, according to Aaron Schatz, one of the top 2-2 team in the last 50 years. Something like that. They should be better than they are. But their defense didn't melt down yesterday like it has been the case in the second half. They kind of just held on. Of course, that makes you think a lot about the Cowboys because of Derrick Henry.

And you were arguing with Votch this weekend about Derrick Henry a little bit. Did you at least see that? Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I watched highlights. I didn't watch the whole game, but I knew what had happened. Very first play. Yeah. Insane.

I was, we all remember, Votch said, I don't see how Derrick Henry could have helped the Cowboys. And my question was, was Jerry lying when he said that he couldn't afford him? And I thought Votche being, you know, dialed in with the team could have come up with a scenario. It's like, well, no, he could have afforded him. All they would have had to do is move X amount of money to Y and restructure

this and they could have easily afforded him. So I haven't seen a real clear path on how you would have done it or how, how Jerry was telling the truth or lying. I was looking seen a real clear path on how you would have done it or how Jerry was telling the truth or lying. I was looking for some clarity in that. To me, it was a given that he should be here if he could have been

to further illustrate that Jerry sucks. Dude ran for $199, $200 yesterday. Good gravy. He was in the game at $3510199, $200 yesterday. Good gravy. He was in the game at $3510 trying to get $200. And maybe some of that was garbage, but it wasn't garbage at half. No, he had $140 in the first half, something like that.

And my whole point was Derrick Henry doesn't need an elite offensive line to get four or five yards a carry. You're right. We don't have an elite offensive line. Take a look at, okay, hand Deuce Vaughn the ball in Baltimore's offense. Right. Yes, he's pancake city.

He does what he does here. He's run into the butthole of an offensive lineman and fall to the ground like a sad pancake. Where Derrick Henry will go through your butthole, out of your mouth, and pick up three and a half. So they were on Sunday night football. So hell yes, he could have helped this team. And Lamar Jackson, I mean, the guy is just, Mike, you won't believe this guy.

He's just taking the team. He's got some answers. He's got some questions about the postseason, but as far as right now. He's got some questions about the postseason, but as far as right now... Anyway, Collinsworth had a little Derrick Henry story that related to the Dallas Cowboys. Thought you guys would like to hear. So everybody fears the stiff arm, right? Everybody does. Great story Derrick Henry was telling us is that Trayvon Diggs last week came up to try and tackle him. And as he was approaching Derrick Henry, he said,

you're not stiff-arming me while he's making the tackle. You ever heard that before? I've never heard that. That's a treasure, right? I've never heard that before. Legend of Derrick Henry, stiff-arm of big part of it. Thanks, Chris. During the play.

Thanks, Chris. During the play. Baltimore scored 35 points. Lamar Jackson threw 18 passes. That's been there. It's what they do. Yeah, it is what they do. Like, Harbaugh is so happy to have a Derrick Henry.

It is funny. Hey, we need to get Lamar more help. What if Derrick Henry... Should we get him a receiver? What if Derrick Henry, I don't know, comes close to not 2000, but yeah, close to 2000 and ends up being the league MVP at running back? Probably would never happen. But if he's churning out 150 yards a game on average, you'd have to make the argument, but we couldn't afford him. They could easily have afforded Derrick Henry.

Couldn't afford him. That's the point. And I don't know if you care about all the probability stats or whatever, but they did one on the 87-yard touchdown. He had like a 0.1% chance of scoring a touchdown on that play, given the traffic around the line of scrimmage and the safety's angles and that 30 year old 250 pound running back was able to outrun everyone for a touchdown so how old is he 30 okay same age as yeah same draft as the right zeke we have zeke that was our answer the same year year. Get Zeke back.

But anyway, to your point, he doesn't need wide open spaces to be efficient. We couldn't afford him. Now that you just thought of something you could say to double down when somebody challenged you and you know that you're wrong. Has Jerry ever admitted a mistake? Has he ever said, wow, we really screwed the pooch on that one wait i don't even think he's said his illegitimate daughter's been a mistake so no people like that are incredible what about just yeah miss that one you know this carry if this keeps on we'd like to have that one back but but we've got to play with what we've got. Who's

going to fire him? He can say that. People like that with egos like that can never admit they're wrong, and they always double down or make excuses or get defensive. You think this is bad? Wait until it's Steven's turn. You think he's going to be

at least Jerry's funny. Funny and built this with his own two hands type thing. Yeah, I'm not looking forward to that era. Although, the thought is perhaps Stephen will hire a football man to come in here. I want you to know

I've had my share of mess-ups too and we probably are well aware of those okay there you go he has admitted it but nothing specific that would probably be the best thing for steven for his pr like i don't know if acheman has aged out of wanting to do it but i know acheman used to want to get in the front office game. That'd be cool. But if his first official act as owner, if Jerry was no longer with us, is, hey, I'm going to

hire Troy Aikman to be the general manager. At least he'd win the PR thing. But who knows? Ambiguity. How do you think the PR would be if they hired romo less good yeah there's way too much romo haters or romo hate romo's not researching players or anything that's what i mean

no he quit researching players after his first year as an announcer but even that i think that was just him remembering his film study yeah remember new guys who were out there last year um we're going forward with blockchain com so you mentioned that you were uh you were arguing derrick henry this weekend that would be a good spot for a quick talk about ProSlat. So thanks for ProSlat for having us out there. That was awesome. They will revamp your garage. They could give you a blue and silver themed custom garage makeover.

They have everything for the garage. Go to ProSlat.com and you can see the custom shelving. I don't know. I don't even know what you call all the stuff. The floors. Oh, that epoxy floor. They have the epoxy, is it called? I think so.

I don't even know what it's called. It's like all speckled. That's cool. But then they got some other kind of floor as well. I mean, they can solve any garage problems. It was funny because Dan was seeing, seeing like they have some special tile for their garage floor and I was like, why do you use this? Yeah, I know. I'm like,

why is this good? And then he explained it and I'm like, oh man, that does seem great. The garage is often an eyesore. Often, you have a three-car garage and you can only fit two cars in it or maybe one. Maybe you have a two-car garage, you can only fit one car in there. Anyway. I don't think it's very often that people have a

three-car garage. No? No. Okay. But what is common is you can't put as many cars in there as you want. Yep. All right. So go to proslat.com. They have an actual store too. We were out there this weekend. If you want to go see their showroom, it's pretty cool. 75 in Arapaho, the Northeast Quadrant. There you go. And they did the wall here. This is the wall they can put in your garage if you are checking out our video today. I think this is less expensive than people might think.

The Pro Slat wall. Thanks to Pro Slat. Check them out at proslat.com. Good job. Elsewhere in the NFL. Oh, I was going to ask, so just kind of stating who are the powers in the AFC seem like we knew it before the year started, and it kind of

still seems the same in the AFC. As far as Buffalo, Baltimore, Houston, Kansas City, that's kind of what we thought would be good. Let's talk NFC now. What would you consider the powers to the NFC to be? Minnesota. Just like you said before the season. I had them win in the Super Bowl.

Yep. So the Vegas preseason win total was 6.5 on Minnesota. And they are now 4-0. See, I knew I was supposed to bet on one team to go 5-0. I bet the odds on them would have been incredible. Yeah. But Sam Darnold. And that final score is deceiving.

They beat the Packers 31-29. They had them 28-0 in the first half. 28-0, and then as will happen in the NFL. I don't know what happened with the Vikings offense, but they turtled a little bit. Packers are coming back. I thought Jordan Love coming back would have at least made that a game. Have you seen that graphic?

No. Malik Willis 2-0, Jordan Love 0-2. And Jordan Love just got the big contract. Before Dak, he was the highest paid player in the NFL. And then Dak signed his to beat him. Yeah, Sam Darnold this year has attempted two passes while trailing in the game. Wow. So they jump out to leads.

They maintain that lead. They are 4-0. They are one of the powers. And their defensive coordinator, Ryan Flores, horrible head coach, really good defensive coordinator. Maybe that's the same bet, yeah. Maybe that's his limit. Yeah, because he's the guy that Tua was really upset with because...

This guy thinks I suck. Yeah, he was not treating him with the love and affection that Mike McDaniel will do. Two and two is not a bad place to be in the NFC if you have a shred of hope for your future. Oh, no, there's plenty of time. Plenty of time. 3-1 is good, which, of course, is what Washington is. You'd rather be that. Well, we've talked about Tampa already.

They're 3-1. And then Seattle plays tonight. What do they got tonight? There's two plays tonight. What do they got tonight? There's two games tonight. They got the Lions tonight, I think. Okay, so that's a tough one. Although, I was reading something this morning on Geno Smith. We got Titans-Dolphins tonight, too.

Yeah, that's weird. Gross. To have two games. Their kickoffs are 45 minutes apart. The Geno Smith is really good indoors. Which I was reading this morning. While they're playing at Detroit today. So, I don't know.

Maybe don't jump on Detroit by, what are they favored by? Four. That's it? You think it should be more? It feels like it, but Seattle's 3-0. I know, but I haven't played anybody. You may remember recently hearing that Geno Smith plays very well indoors.

Okay. I had no idea until like 30 seconds ago. Give me Seattle plus four. Yeah, so it might be something to look at. Yeah, Tennessee, Miami does look kind of gross. But San Francisco is kind of a mess, but they pulled it back together yesterday. They bucked that trend of being over five-and-a-half-point favorites at home. Those teams were 2-14 heading into this weekend, right,

as far as covering the spread? Yeah. What, favored home teams? Yeah. Wow. But San Francisco destroyed New England, as New England doesn't seem like they're good. Brock Purdy.

He's good. Get overdy. He's good. Get over it. I don't know. A little over 50% completion through a pick. No, but he's very good. I mean, the weird deal is McCaffrey, man. Like, see, he might not play this year. Yeah.

That's a weird smokesc screen that they were throwing out all through the preseason man injuries a lot of teams have them a lot of teams are having them early and you have weird unexpected good starts from Minnesota

this might be one of those I don't know bizarro years in football where you have some mystery guest that just unexpectedly does really well and you have weird Super Bowl that the networks are like,

oh my God. Those happen. It seems like about every 10 years you'll get weird Super Bowl. It'll still be the Chiefs. Chiefs v. Baker? That'd be cool. Chiefs v. Darnold?

That would be insane. I bet you can get some good odds on Sam Darnold MVP right now. Certainly we'd have to say, well, I think going into the year, it was going to be Aaron Rodgers' comeback player of the year. As it stands right now. But I think Sam Darnold definitely has that.

Would there be a better AFC championship than Chiefs-Ravens? No. Same as it was last year. Yeah. So maybe no mysteries over there. Yeah, Chiefs Ravens? No. Same as it was last year. Yeah. So maybe no mysteries over there. Yeah, Chiefs going for the three-peat, of course. If you want to stay in the AFC, did you see Joe Flacco?

Yeah, he had to come in for Anthony Richardson. Is he good? How did he get good after Like he was with Baltimore He wasn't that good with Baltimore I didn't think At his peak And then he got into Jets He was with the Jets for a little bit

He played for Cleveland for a while Well Cleveland obviously because last year He led them to the playoffs Yeah but didn't he have two different stints with Cleveland I thought Oh did he? Or he was there for a few years. If somebody told you Joe Flacco was 47, would you go, alright, I believe it. Yeah, no, I feel

like he is. Well, how old is he? I don't know. Let's look it up. 39? He's 39. Good job, Blake. Anthony Richardson was another kind of... He had a gold star. Thank you. I feel like he was a darling coming into the season. A lot of fantasy. Kind of like this year's bust out fantasy darling.

It's going to be Anthony Richardson. And when he stays healthy he is pretty good. But there's the key. Steelers finally lost. Thought Justin Fields was going to push for the comeback player of the year. As good as he's been.

What was that game? I didn't pay attention. Indy. The Colts. Oh, okay. Same game. Yeah, the Steelers won't be undefeated when the Cowboys play them next week. So if we go to Kansas City, who's 4-0, Rasheed Rice now out for the year.

A lot of funny tweets about that one. What was that? Like, along with his speeding bit? It's very like Rasheed Rice to end a drive with a collision and have to leave. Something along those lines. Those three things. After a drive, a collision and have to leave. Something along those lines. Those three things, after a drive, a collision, and then leaving the scene. So they've lost him now.

They already lost Hollywood Brown. Pacheco is out for a while. They have Kareem Hunt, P. Ryan. Yeah. Juju Smith-Schuster, three guys that were not on anyone's roster when the year started. Got Xavier Worthy, though. And then what was the – did you hear the stat?

Like Mahomes, some weird stat. Well, number one, they're 10-0 in their last 10, including playoffs, Super Bowl, everything. They're 4-0 this year. Something to do with if they go down by 10 in a game, they win. So if they get down by exactly 10, I think it's Mahomes is 12-0. They did that in the Super Bowl, right? So don't...

If you're winning by seven, do not kick a field goal because then you'll end up losing that game. If they're down by exactly 10 in any game, Mahomes just does not lose. I think I have some audio from this game as well. What do I have some audio from this game as well. What do I have on that? Yeah, I just thought it was weird that Nance and Romo actually thought people were counting out Travis Kelsey.

Okay, yeah, this is the end of the game. On the way, 30 seconds to just run off to a 10th consecutive win. Nine of them in one score games. And Kelsey is back. Yes, all the hot takes. You got to find someone else to troll this week. Yeah.

He's not going away anytime soon, you guys. I want to give him one-on-one. Good friends here. The wives are very close, Tammy and Sarah. I left that in there for you because Nancy does that all the time. He likes to seem like he's familiar with these players. Tammy and Sarah. Like he's in the same social circles.

Yes, so he always will bring up someone's wife. He does it with Romo in table talk. Oh, we did this. He loves Candace. How's Candace? Oh, sweet Candace. Yeah. And he loves his like 27-year-old wife as well. I think Nancy has a nice young wife.

Nancy does? Yeah. I believe. Didn't he get divorced? You don't remember this, Danny? He divorced... Well, some of their divorce was through court or something or maybe it was public but he didn't like that she didn't respect the painting that he had of himself up in the uh the foyer because you know you typically have like an oil brush painting of yourself in your

house yeah that was in the divorce proceedings. Like, came out in court. She doesn't like the painting. She doesn't respect my career. Courtney Richards, that's her name? Does that sound right? That sounds young. It does sound young. Let's see, she.

Oh, you know what? I missed this. I wanted to bring this up. If we can go back to, or we didn't really even talk the jets too much did we but just to comment on the audio who was counting out travis kelsey oh um just because he looked i feel like that's living online a little bit for sure his numbers haven't been what they were and you know there's a lot of thought to they're trying to kind of save Kelsey, make sure that he's really strong going into the playoffs like he was last year.

Yeah. Because that's kind of the theory on what, you know, Kansas City does now. They're just so good. They're playing chess, man. They're kind of like Golden State in their heyday. They'd be trailing at halftime, or it's a close game, and then at some point they decide,

well, now we're just going to win because we're Golden State. And they would. And it's kind of what the Chiefs do. I just thought that was a weird end to the game of, oh, you've got to pick someone else to hate on. And then for some reason, Nance saying troll really short-circuited me.

I don't know. They suck. As you know, I'm really against Nance. You're going to have to find someone else to troll. Not a big Nance fan. I feel like Romo could be a lot better. Put him with Al Michaels. You like golf Nance?

You just don't like football Nance, right? He's too sanctimonious for me overall, but... But that's why I'm... Golf Nance is more who he is. It fits. He's a golf... Yeah, he's a golf announcer. He's too bougie.

He's not a football announcer. Right. I think that's part of my take that non-Fox games are antiseptic, and Jim Nance has a lot to do with that. That's a good point. Games are antiseptic, and Jim Nance has a lot to do with that. That's a good point. Oh, the audio I wanted to bring up.

So let me just bring up the Jets. They lose 10-9. Bo Nix won a, passing for 60 yards. Unreal. So you'd have to think, well, certainly then he scrambled around everywhere. He was kind of doing stuff. Three yards rushing. So 63 total yards for Bownicks.

Now the Jets didn't help themselves. They had 13 penalties for 90 yards, including five false starts. So they were talking after the game like maybe it's because Aaron Rodgers has crazy cadences, which try to get, and it works. He gets a lot of teams to jump off sides and gets free plays. There's nobody better in the nfl at that and rarely does he trick his own his own line that's what the questions were and robert sala the jets head coach for now this is funny was uh was kind of saying he he was saying yeah maybe there's maybe there's something to that maybe we have to change some things that we're doing. Maybe change some things that Aaron Rodgers is doing.

And so the media loves to find out what the coach says and then run and tell the player what the coach says. And that's what we got here. Let's see here. The cadence specifically, Robert, said that might be something you guys have to dial back a little bit. Is that something you think could potentially help the situation? It's one way to do it.

The other way is hold them accountable. I mean, we haven't had an issue. We've had one false start. Morgan had one false start, I believe, until this. So, you know, it's been a weapon. We use it every day in practice. We don't, you know, we rarely have a false start. And to have, I don't know, five today it seemed like, four or five.

Yeah, it seems like an outlier. I don't know if we need to make mass changes based on kind of an outlier game. He's not wrong. No, he's not. But it is funny to hear a quarterback. No, he sounded— Challenge. He had that same inflection as Brady when he was told that baker mayfield said these things about

how you ran things here oh okay all right we should uh i guess uh super bowls aren't that cool of a thing uh you know oh i should change my cadence oh okay i guess you know other players haven't been able to handle that on my offenses for like 15, 20 years or whatever. But no, no, that's cool. I think he hates Robert Sala. Let's go back to last week when the shove, when people were saying, oh, there's something here, and other people were like, no, no, no, no, no. Maybe there is something there.

I'd like to see it. Probably is. I like controversy. I also don't mind that Aaron Rodgers is maybe not feeling too great these days. It doesn't bother me at all. You're anti-Aaron Rodgers? Not anti-Aaron Rodgers, but it never bothers me when

cocky douchebags get knocked down a little bit. Or maybe they lose 10-9 not doing so great at their football career. They had a chance at the end. Zerline missed it bad. Don't care.

Greg the leg? Then A-Rod's got to get up there at the podium and speak out against his coach's wishes. I don't know. It's good. I'm fine with it. How did Matt Prater do? He was my knockout kicker pick. I think he keep track of kickers. My knockout kicker pick.

I think he did fine, right? Well, he could have missed one. They only scored 14. But I didn't look. I got too many things to look at, man. That's your fault. I know. Next year, will you remind me?

Don't sign up for all these gambling things. No, because I reminded you this year. Oh, you did? Told you don't do the Jared League. Well, you know it takes me a couple of reminders. Yeah, you're... You still don't have your Tesla wall yet. Hmm.

If there's any Tesla wall sponsors out there, give us a call. Would love to do that. Because then I could just walk on the wall to get my electrodes or whatever I'm trying to get. Surely that's ground. I don't know. I'm not going to pretend.

Electrons. Qualis said they would install one for you. They did? Yeah. What? The great Qualis roofing. What can Qualis roofing not do? Let me look.

Oh, I wanted to mention Houston. We did mention Houston already. They're 3-0. Excuse me, 3-1 now. They had to come back to beat Jacksonville. And Jacksonville is on that little list of teams that's probably going to be looking for a new head coach after this year.

And maybe a quarterback. I mean, they've got to trade Trevor Lawrence then. They're locked in with him now. It makes no sense. What do you mean? Him. I thought he was supposed to be great. I saw a highlight reel of crap that he...

No. It makes no sense. What do you mean? Him. I thought he was supposed to be great. I saw a highlight reel of... What is happening? Crap that he...

No. It makes no sense. What do you mean? What is ha... Why are we looping? My bad. I was checking our stream while he was going through my computer.

Oh, okay. Sorry. How are things going on the stream? I was going through my computer. Oh, okay. Sorry. How are things going on the stream? I'm just really good. Checking in. You guys sound great. I felt like the audio was going well on the stream. Didn't you feel like you were in the future for a second?

Damn it. I should have just played the lottery. I would have won. Anyway, they're one of those teams, I told you a few weeks ago, I had heard somebody alleging this could be a Belichick landing spot because they've got a quarterback. We think. I don't know.

And Shad Khan is the owner of the Jags, and he's pretty much a hands-off guy who lets his football people be football people before he cleans house. But it looks like cleaning house may happen. So they're 0-4, and of course, right before the season, the owner of Jacksonville, Shad Khan, said that this team they had this year was the best in franchise history. Make no mistake, this is the best team assembled by the Jacksonville Jaguars ever. Best players, best coaches. So let's prove it by winning now. It's kind of like Jerry saying they've got the best players,

and now why aren't they winning? Oh, it might be the coaches, and Shad Khan might say that as well. They have a minus 49 point differential. It's their third worst through four games in their 30-year history. And Pets heads are falling off in Jacksonville. If indeed anybody cares. But they were 8- This is all since last year.

Have they lost like 10 in a row? They were eight and three last year. And then they kind of had a rough end of the season. And you thought, okay, well, whatever. Still. They just were a victim of the momentum. So yeah, things aren't going good in Jacksonville. Would Belichick go to Jacksonville?

So we have Jacksonville. It is a place to see and be seen. Dallas, it's always a possibility for Belichick. I think the Giants, because then his career could come full circle. And people in Philly are talking about, what if we got Belichick in here right now? That'd be sweet. You know I want Belichick back in the league,

and I need him back in the league right now. And I would love him in the NFC East. So I really want Giants or Philly. And I think Philly is another team, like Dallas, that he might think, well, I could break that Shula record in the next two years. With the Giants, how long would it take them? Because they've got to get a new quarterback. Anyway, that is around the NFL for today.

Let us take a small break. It'll be a little bit longer if you're watching on the YouTube right now. But if you are listening via the podcast app, we'll be back pretty soon. The Dumb Zone. You're listening to The Dumb Zone I hope I don't have broccoli in my teeth Let me see

No Come on Smile Go hee Blake knows how to remove it now though Can I say that I It cost me $90. I suck at flossing.

Oh, really? Can you be good? Yeah. I assume Dan's good. You've got to practice. 10,000 hours. He's an expert. I did that in the last year.

I decided to choose it on. Are you using the big string that you get on the spool, or are you using the little things? I used to use the little things, but they advised against it. They're good if you're in your car. You want to get a quick floss. Quick pick. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I hate those bits. You ever floss while driving, Dan? Like old school style? Of course. Of course. Like knee on the wheel and doing that. Yeah. Of course it has.

Like knee on the wheel and doing that. Yeah. It's difficult when you have kids and then you're trying not to be who you are in front of your kids. Because once they got old enough that they'd see, like, they're able to read speed limit. And then they'll see what's going on there. They'll, like, call you out. They'll call you out if you're two miles over it, let alone add a zero to that.

And then, yeah, they also don't feel safe when you're driving with just your knee and you're flossing for some reason. Kids don't understand that I've been out here doing this for a long time. I can floss, text, do whatever I want because I am an adult and I'm an American. You're not going to stop me from popping a beer behind the wheel. Am I right?

Hey, speaking of none of that, let's tell you about Qualys Roofing real quick. Love Qualys Roofing. They came out to my house and gave me, well, they didn't give me, but they put a new roof on my house. And they're just awesome. They kind of did all the back and forth with the insurance company. We didn't have to deal with any of that. They're at qualisgc.com, Q-U-A-L-I-S-G-C.com.

A-L-I-S-G-C.com. And if you get just a roof inspection through the end of September, although I'll bet I can talk them into extending this, I can talk Qualys Roofing into a lot. So if you want something from Qualys Roofing, you get a hold of me. And then go to QualysGC.com. Anyway, free roof inspection, and they'll give you a free Dumb Zone t-shirt as well. And then if you get a roof, they will pay for a 690 sit-in on your behalf.

I think also they're offering some kind of a, let's see, oh, they'll give you an annual subscription. Yeah. For a roof inspection. What? Yep. So get out there, get a roof inspection. They want to help us and you. Giving a few of these out.

Really? Mm-hmm. So, yeah, because you know now on the sub stack, on the stack, you can actually gift a subscription. So you just click something there and you can type it all in and give it to somebody. Yeah. You know who loves salmon? Who?

Wallace Roofing. Wow. See, what you don't get, Danny, is burping is a part of the copy. It says right here, add salmon burp. Also says keep salmon in frame of video shot For the world to see Well the Qualis banner is up it's not But once that goes away

We all get to see what Dan had for lunch And smell if you're in here Somebody texted me earlier There it is Somebody texted me that they now know What my iPhone password is Oh really? I guess I was typing it in Oops You don't do face recognition bro? I now know what my iPhone password is. Oh, really? You did it?

I guess I was typing it in. Oh, oops. You don't do face recognition, bro? No, I stopped that during the pandy. Because I would be wearing the mask. He's got his camera. Oh, do you have your camera covered on this laptop? Or not?

No, he meant on my phone. On his phone. Oh, I know, but I'm saying he's not going to do facial recognition if he's blocking his webcam. I don't have my camera covered on this one, but I probably should. The government's been watching me.

Yeah, so qualusgc.com. They're great. They're great at roofs. Go look at my house and you can see. You could eat off that roof. Is that a cop? You don't want to eat off your roof.

Anyway. Seems like you like to add improvised copy points. Yeah. Hey, everybody. It's time to answer some of today's viewer mail. Answer or at least read. We have plenty of birthdays today, as usual, after a weekend. But I got this from Hayden, who says,

My brother is an aspiring stand-up in Austin. He is friends with another aspiring comedian named Taylor Neely. comedian named Taylor Neely. Anyway, Taylor Neely got slightly heckled by someone you may know on the Dallas Cowboys. So let's take you to the Taylor Neely video. Micah? Pause it, yeah. So pause it and then rewind it. Start it all over again. I was going to ask if you can guess who it is.

Oh, yeah. That's Micah's voice. Yeah, Micah Parsons is yelling at the stage for some reason. Okay. Is this recent? And then you'll see. We're going to show the video. You'll see a picture of him with Micah. Yeah, I think it was pretty recently.

Can we fire that up again, Rob? You get up here. Let's take off our shirts. Let's see who's better body. Who's got a harder, it's a black guy. No, better body. Better body. Yeah, there's a picture of Micah.

Anyway. Anyway. So Micah. Anyway. So Micah was heckling a comedian. I can see that. That seems like the kind of guy he is. Not heckling, but like talking to... He talks to the radio, right? Yeah. What about movie screens?

Perhaps movie screens. Isn't he busy? Should he not? Okay. He's got football. He's got podcasting to do. He's got a couple kids. I think his mom lives at his house.

He has a couple kids now? Way to go. I thought he had a son at Penn State, and then he just had a daughter, I thought. Oh. We're friends. I'll tell you later. Dear Colonel Ingus and the fellow Atios,

Hola, Tio Twat Omelette. This is my last birthday today is my good friend tuxedo john's bill bates birthday

no one woke him up in that special way tuxedo john is one of dfw's most eligible 40 year olds that is looking for love i believe in my heart there's a dumb uh there's somebody out there for him. Listen ladies. Uh look up Tuxedo John. This is from NoTuxChad. Great. Okay, so

these guys must have been. Great bit. They came for a sit-in high atop my garage some weeks ago. And they had had a sit-in high atop my garage some weeks ago, and they had had a pact together that they were both going to wear tuxedos because that would be a good bit. I was there. And then one of the guys just didn't wear a tuxedo, which also then turned out to be a good bit because now one guy is wearing a tuxedo,

and the other guy is like normal. Like, what are you doing? And then a coupleuxedo. And the other guy's like, normal. Like, what are you doing? And then a couple more here. One says, Danny TV help. Dear Uncle Tater Twat, please pass this along to Danny. He could figure out his TV streaming issue.

What, were you complaining about your TV scene? Just all the stuff? got to pay this. No, I think it was Netflix and you got Hulu. No, I think he may be talking about the conundrum that we all had when we didn't want to subscribe to a service that carried ballys. So it was hard to watch, mainly the maps for me. Is that what he's speaking about?

For roughly $30 a year, you could have pretty much anything he wants. Doesn't need a VPN. There's even a live TV add-on with 160 channels, including Bally. Simple to set up and can be used with your phone, PC, Fire Stick, Roku, etc. From CT. The thing is, I've gotten a bunch of these from different people. Yes. And it's always like, oh, it's really easy.

But whoever's telling you to do it, it's like some tech guy. It's like Rob. Like, oh, man, this is really easy. And then all you got to do is wire four things and you just do this and press these buttons and then you got it. What is it? I don't know. It's just he sent me some link. It's streamio we have a friend a very good friend of all of ours that does

something that i think is adjacent to what this guy's offering where you have like your regular fire stick but they get it and they hack it and you have access to everything that's available. Every streaming service, adult content, pay-per-view, everything. And you just PayPal the dude like $100 a month. And if it screws up, then he'll update it for you. Oh, it's 100%

illegal. I think that may be what this guy's talking about. Maybe not. Maybe this is legit. But I doubt it. $30 a month. And then I have two more. This regards the Chisholm Trail. Dan, this is no 9-11 Memorial, but I thought you might like to see some of the old Chisholm Trail.

You know, this shows the official program of the Chisholm Trail. Saginaw, Texas has this post and memorial. Who knew there was a trail of Chisholm right through Saginaw? This is from Paul. And yeah, they just have a little setup there. What's the next one look like? That's just a little something about the old Chisholm Trail. And somehow they thought your tax dollars should go toward creating this little plaque.

And then we'll post it. And then everybody can read about the Chisholm Trail. There is a God. Which went through Kansas, it says. And finally, is it racist? Bracket Dan. There is a God. Which went through Kansas, it says. And finally, is it racist? Bracket Dan. I am a restaurant manager.

Recently, I hired an African-American named Sean Blackman. He told all of the white staff, including management, to call him Sean. Okay. He told the Hispanic and African American staff to call him black. What if I want to call him black as well? Is that racist? Discuss from Matt Harrington. He asked you not to.

Is it reverse racism to tell a certain group of people to refer to you in one way? My football coach wouldn't have cared. Is it like that for you that you're always known by your last name in sports? Yeah. Yeah. Hey, black man, get over here. Drop and give me 20. Wind sprints, black man, get over here. Drop and give me 20. Wind sprints, black man.

Anyway, there is today's viewer mail. The news today will be brought to us by Early Bird CBD. Early Bird CBD is all the rage. It will help you, you know, I guess their main copy point isn't that it's going to help you get to sleep, but a copy point is that it will help you kind of take the edge off at the end of a long day or just the end of any day.

the chill without all the uh yucky alcohol byproducts right dan so my wife is really into or is really does have trouble sleeping and she was really into cbd but she was saying they're just not working for me. And then she tried early bird CBD. And here's the difference. Early bird CBD has THC in it. So that is the stuff. And it's always, it's very consistent, two and a half milligrams of natural THC. The legal amount.

The legal amount. Look, if you want to try to, I'm not your dad. The point is, this is different. If you've had CBD and it's like, no, no, no, that's not for me. Early bird CBD is definitely different. What's our call to action on that one, Blake? I'm trying to find that. Oh, the code DUMZONE. One word, DUMZONE, D-U-M-B-Z-O-N-E.

Yeah, we'll add some logos here. A little web dev. It's a good start. Yeah. We finally have a place for our coupon codes. Yeah. We'll add some logos here, but it's really... A little web dev. It's a good start. Yeah. We finally have a place for our coupon codes. Yeah. Here's Jake. It's another terminology, Rob.

So news. This is not Jake. But perhaps in a week, Jake will be back. A week from today, alleged, right? Mm-hmm. Big death in the world of Muzak. I learned yesterday on my phone that uh i believe saturday chris christopherson passed away 88 years old now dan i'll ask you blake you probably don't

the name doesn't resonate much with you does it no yeah but dan what do you think of when you think of old ch Christopherson? Don't know any of his songs. Do know who he is. I know my mom thought he was real hot. She was right. She was really pro Christopherson. But I think of A Star is Born.

Yeah, I think if you didn't... It's the only thing I know him about. Didn't follow his musical career, that would be be but i know where nothing he's ever done most people would know him from you would know i'm just not a music man so he started out in the late 60s and he was mainly known as being a songwriter but it didn't stop him from releasing albums he self-proclaimed that he thought that he had the voice of a frog. And by most standards, he wasn't a great vocalist or great singer, but he had his own unique style. But he wrote songs, standards by today's standards. Sunday Morning Coming Down, Help Me Make It Through the Night, For the Good Times, and of course, Me and Bobby McGee.

Most made famous by Janis Joplin, I would say. I've heard of that song. Yeah. And Janis Joplin made that song huge. Now, she was one of the artists from back in the 60s that died in the 27 Club, I believe. Artists that died at the age of 27. I've been in Janis Joplin's final resting place. Where is that?

It's a hotel in California. Really? The Hollywood Hotel or something. I've been in the room. Did you stay there or just popped in? Is that where Janis Joplin died? I don't know where she died. Okay, then yes.

I've been in the room. I've been in the very spot where Janis Joplin died? I don't know where she died. Okay, then yes. I've been in the room. I've been in the very spot where Janis Joplin died. I was filmed by Big Dick Hunter's wife. Wow. Were you sitting in the bluey cook chair? We were doing kind of a seance, reading from Janis Joplin's, some book on Janis Joplin about,

and then I would love to find that video, man. That's going to be my new goal for 2024. Uh-huh. Get your steps in and then find the, the Joplin seance video, right? Yeah.

Because that's the, the, the time we went to training camp and big Dick Hunter and the P1 wild ass circus invited us to dinner. Bob and Dan showed up, decided this really sucks. And then there was this whole group of P1s because they took a van out there. Driven by Greg the Whale. And there was like the guy from the Bunny Ranch was there.

And Ron Jeremy wasn't there But he was going to show up later or something And then we just bolted We bolted from dinner before they delivered dinner And then Mike Turley was very mad at us We had Turley on the show A few months ago Talking about this

And he was still mad He's still pissed? What was his recall on all of that? Pretty clear? Oh, yeah. That's good. Yeah, he starred in 1976 as a star is born. I think one of his first forays into the world of acting was a Martin Scorsese film in 74 called Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.

I think that's probably on my list of old movies that I needed to see for the first time. He was in Blade with Wesley Snipes in 98. Now, I will tell you this. Chris Christopherson, Dan, was a Rhodes Scholar. What does that mean to you? You've heard that term your whole life, I'm sure. It means you're really smart.

But why? Why do they call it a road scholar? It's like it's in England or something. Okay. Keep going. Is that right? A lot of people just think it's R-O-A-D, like you're just smart from being a man about town and on the road, and you learned your skills on the streets, and you have a lot of common sense.

But no, Rhodes, R-H-O-D-E-S, capitalized. It's a scholarship given to a very select few people, and I believe it connects you with Oxford University, I think. All right. Does that sound right? But yeah, he was an incredibly smart dude. But yeah, became an A-list Hollywood actor, country music superstar, legendary songwriter, and we lost him at 88.

Details of how he died are not known at this point, but I would say he died of being 88. Yeah, man. You make it to 88. It's pretty sweet. What's your goal? 88? 100. 90?

100? No, Dan's is. I don't care? 88? 100. 90? 100? No, Dan's is. I don't care. You want to live to be 100? You think you'll make it if you don't, like, get run over by a cement mixer? Even if I do, man. I got the electrons going. I got the salmon.

I think we're set. I think the over-under is 100 now for me. I think the over-under is 100 now for me. So when you're out at the ballpark and, I don't know, Jim Knox III comes up to interview you and you're 100. Yeah, I'll be fine. And they're going to say, well, how'd you make it to 100? What's your secret?

And Dan's going to say, electrons and salmon. I'm going to sound much better than that. No, you're not. I'm going to sound much better than that. No, you're not. I'm going to still be doing this at 100. You're going to sound just like every other 100-year-old man sounds. Electrons. You don't know anything about me. And salmon.

Then you're going to keel over and die. And Chuck Morgan III is going to have to scrape your gross carcass off of the seats. That's what's going to happen. So he's going to actually go to a baseball game? Yeah, he's going to be at a Ranger game. Dude, who was there until the last pitch and then like another hour a couple weeks ago? Yeah. You were.

I was. I saw you there. Not you, not this guy. I left an hour before first pitch. I love baseball. Will you go to a game between now and when you're 100? Of course. I try to go to one game per series throughout the year.

Okay, that's somebody else's bit. That's not somebody else's bit And he was lying too That's me You invented it? That's I first said that and I stick to it And I continue to say it And then your leader stole it from you? I'm just telling you

I don't know about you guys Watching music videos on YouTube But there are a bunch Just during the breaks During the Dumb Zone live stream I don't know how much you guys watch music videos on YouTube, but there are a bunch. Just during the breaks during the Dumb Zone livestream. You know, that's kind of what made me think of this story, so I yanked it up. I yanked the thing. And there are dozens, if not hundreds, of music videos,

like official release, a record company release music videos, like official release, a record company released music videos that were on yesterday, but they're not on today. So, for example, if you want to watch Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit video, it ain't there. The clip was removed. Thousands of music videos have been removed. And you ask yourself, why? Yeah. It's a good question well there is apparently

a dispute between youtube and a publishing collector called c-sac now c-sac is kind of the third in line of the big three to bmi and as. Those are terms you've heard your whole life. And what these companies do is they collect royalties for artists and monitor how those are being distributed, being paid. And if you're an artist, you kind of become a member of one of the three.

So if, Dan, you're going to release your new country album and you want to make sure that you're getting paid, well, you're going to probably log on and register with either BMI or CSAC or ASCAP. And then you'll get a statement every quarter that shows all the money that you generated. And they'll put the money right into your account. Well, YouTube's in the middle of a big dispute with CSAC. And apparently they're not happy with the deal that they have with them.

They don't feel like that YouTube is distributing enough funds that they deserve, and they're working now to negotiate a new agreement, trying to figure out this new agreement before the current one expires, and these discussions were fruitless. They kind of worked in good faith with one another, but they've come to a stalemate, and the record companies just said, well, guess what?

We're just going to pull all of our content off of YouTube. So if you're wondering why temp video is unavailable, you see that sign on some of these music videos that you probably wanted to watch on YouTube today, now you know the reason. And you would have known if you hadn't tuned in to the Dumb Zone today, live streaming on YouTube. And we will collect all of our money from YouTube, won't we, Dan?

God damn it. I don't think they give us anything. Right? Very little. How does it work? It's kind of like when we put something out, and then if there's something that, I don't know, maybe if we play like the NFL Films bet or something, it will flag it, and it will flag it,

which just means you can't monetize it at all. Right. If you use copyrighted material. If we use something else like a little hardcore, not hardcore like Naked and stuff, but they'll like take us the whole video down. So that's our, we're trying to walk that line. Like don't put something on there that'll make them just take the video down. But it's okay to flag, if it gets flagged and we can't monetize it because like it's not money.

You know, you got to get millions of downloads to monetize anything worth your while. Right? Yeah. Or else it'll be like you're getting 20 bucks for a month. I'm an idiot, and I don't know how this works, but my guess is YouTube has bots, algorithms that are set up that don't have to watch your content in real time. up that don't have to watch your content in real time but they can determine by looking at the digital profile of it the digital DNA that's in the little bag of ones and zeros and how they're sequenced and can can determine whether there is a nude image or a copyrighted song in there and they will flag that video yeah

that's crazy yeah the processing can take about an hour maybe, and then it can determine whether you can monetize or not. That's what they're doing during processing? Yeah. Oh. I was wondering. So if you had a problem where you've processed your video to upload on YouTube or whatever, and it just doesn't show up, or does it come later?

It'll tell you. Yeah? You have to go in and cut that out or whatever and it just doesn't show up or does it come later? It'll tell you. Yeah? You have to go in and cut that out or whatever? Yeah, it'll say like blocked, which has happened to us a couple times and it'll show you and then you can go in and like trim it out or, you know, fix it however you can. It tells you the part that it doesn't like? Yeah, like remember at training camp we played some Olympics videos and it doesn't like? Yeah, like, remember at training camp, we played some Olympics videos, and it showed me, like, this is how long,

this is, you know, copyright material from this source. Same thing, we did a Kamala Harris video from BET, did the same thing. But it's actually amazing, because if it just said blocked and you didn't know why, that'd be frustrating. But it says, like, hey, this section is what got you in trouble. Well, that's nice.

It is nice. Yeah, I'm on Team YouTube here in this fight. That's right. You're not with the publishing people? No. You don't want them to get their money from YouTube? Yeah, maybe, but... Because, I mean, historically, and it's a short recent history, but all of these streaming platforms are just crushing it and distributing very little to the artists.

I mean, you've heard all this stuff about Spotify, Apple Music. Yeah. How many actual plays you have to get to see any cash at all. And I'm sure YouTube's right in the middle of that. I mean, anyone that's worked in radio remembers ASCAP and BMI. And I remember, I mean, Dan has told this story a lot. You could only play, what, 10 seconds of a song before you had to? It's what my program director in Dayton told us.

It was like 13 seconds or else we get charged. And then he, he, one day he came in studio and sat there with a stopwatch. This is like what I've dealt with is that would be the bot, the program director. He sat there with a stopwatch. And so I would play a song real loud out of break and then just hit this button that would just make it nothing and he hated that he wanted you to fade it out quicker right make it sound pro no i did 13 seconds you think it was easy to work with me was no we had um we did this coach's show and there were speakers in the ceiling and uh i was told that they worked but they the like the speaker wires were cut in the office because either ascap or bmi uh came in one day

or were tipped off or something and they heard um like music on the speakers yeah and you weren't supposed to redistribute it or something and so they just came in and said what you're doing you know you're not paying us for this music so they came in and cut the wires if you have a jukebox at your establishment you pay a blanket yearly fee to have copyrighted music on that jukebox and it's directly uh proportional the amount that you pay is proportionate to your your co like if you've got a certificate a certificate of occupancy that says legally you can have a hundred people in here well then it's 100 times whatever formula they came up with, and you pay that per year. And it can be the bigger your place, the more you pay for playing,

you know, for having ambiance, for having a bar. Do you know that from having a bar? Oh, yeah. We write checks every year to BMI, ASCAP, and CSAC. They are, look, those. So you can just play copyright-free music in your bar. Right. Yeah, you can get a hold of uh your music god can you imagine how funny that would be play this news sound yeah and just have the cds on the new sounder yeah copyright free energetic skateboard music man

that sounds good but yeah And bands You'd have Mark Rubia in Right And all these local artists Yeah Just to have some ambiance That you wouldn't have to pay Well you pay them

But not Well if you're A live music venue You have to report Whether or not The bands that you hire Are playing covers So if you hire

A Beatles band Jeez man And they're playing Copyrighted Beatles material, that costs you. And there's ways that you can kind of circumvent it. I mean, not enough to put you out of business, but it's, look, everybody's got their hand out looking for whatever extra money they can find for whatever reason. But largely, the publishing these publishing companies do their goal is to help artists they want to make sure that if your music's getting

used then you should get paid for it but you're saying they don't turn around and help the artists no no what are you talking about like no spotify youtube no they're not trying to help the artists they're trying to keep all as much as they possibly can for themselves ask at bmi c-sac they're working for the artists who get what is rightfully theirs now they do take a small percentage yeah just like everybody else does so back to youtube though so if indeed we get flagged and we can still keep it out there it doesn't get blocked but we can't monetize it youtube still runs like the 15 second commercial at the beginning and so they're monetizing it or no no sometimes if it's blocked no uh other times other times it's shared so if they can detect that hey this other youtube channel uploaded this

material then i don't know what the percentage is. It'll deliver the five cents to them also. Are you talking about the videos that you can skip at the beginning of the video you want to watch? Yeah. Or like it'll be a 15-second video, but you can skip it in five seconds. That's just YouTube taking on advertising money.

No, but we turn that on or off. Yeah, but if you subscribe to YouTube Premium, which if you have a little kid i highly recommend it no ads i never have to skip an ad on youtube and it's like 20 a month but i use youtube for so much stuff um that it's worth it just to not have all kids watch yeah yeah and they auto play so if your kids watching you know, Miss Rachel or something, and you'll hear some freaking ad for, you know, dong pills pop on, you got to run in there and skip the ad on your TV. It's just better to get rid of it.

So they're either going to make their money off of premium memberships or premium subscriptions or the advertisers that they take on their money to play their little videos before the video that you actually want to see. What you're talking about, what we're doing on YouTube is getting paid to read, you know, paid sponsors for this show, but they will flag you for copyrighted stuff. Is Malcolm into Miss Rachel? No, no, it's the first thing that came to mind.

No, but what I was wondering too is, because we do our cowboy watching party, which are a grand time. We're going to do another one Sunday, a live stream thing for the cowboy game. So we're watching the cowboy game, and you can watch us watch the cowboy game and drink and eat and stuff. But we have the TV down. And so what anyone in there can just hear us,

but they can't hear anything on the tv and i've always thought could we just have the tv up a little bit no so even if youtube detects yes collinsworth in the background that will block our video yeah i think so if it's like if you're leaving that on for your entire three hours, that will get yanked so quickly. But it's way in the background. I don't think it matters. We can't try it. We should try it with a game we're not really doing.

I think if it's a guy... Like if we were at a bar doing a watching party, or just you're videoing us at the bar watching the game. And the bar's kind of got all this background noise but then it's got the tv noise as well is that rebroadcast or other description well the use of this game is strictly prohibited there's a difference for like what the dumb zone is doing where you have a pretty big viewership listenership active subscribers people that are participating it's going to get flagged a lot quicker than the guy that's filming his buddy smashing his TV after the Cowboys miss a field goal or something like that

or get knocked out of the playoffs. And you'll hear that broadcast and the guy crashes his TV. That's typically only a 20- or 30-second clip. You're talking about carrying an entire NFL game, even though it's faint in the background. YouTube would kick that thing off so quickly. What if we put it through the harmonizer though we get chipmunk Collinsworth or deep throat Collinsworth or yeah I could try this tonight I might go to bed we try it we just do a Blake livestream? And put the

audio through a harmonizer and see if we can get away with it? For Monday Night Football? No, just put Monday Night Football on the background. Oh, just to see? Mm-hmm. Put the images too. Are you talking about just audio or image too?

Audio. I wouldn't do the image. That would be wrong. Time for one or two more? People want to see us. Yeah. They're dying to see us. Dan? I'm not running the news, bro.

Again, does John McKay do this? Does he ask Dale Hanson if he wants one more? This is your show, Danny. This is your show, man. If you want to do another one, do another one. Do some stuff, yeah. I want to do two. You want to leave? I have two more. Let is your show, Danny. This is your show, man. If you want to do another one, do another one. Do some stuff. Yeah, if you want to do two. I want to do two. You want to leave? I have two more. Let's do two. One of them is funny, and the other one's funny, too.

So both of them are funny. That's a high bar once you say this is funny. I know. Hey, everybody. I didn't think Matumbo dying was funny. I'm about to be funny. I'm leaving that one on the editing room floor. We only wanted to do one death today, and I opted for Christopherson. Okay.

I think he's more legendary than Dikembe. He is to me. Donald Trump. No, no, no. Made his mark on Las Vegas, Dan. Somebody erected a giant 43-foot nude statue of Trump next to Interstate 15, just north of Las Vegas. This thing got put up.

What is today? Kind of gave up on the arms there. What's that? Yeah. Okay, so this went up on Saturday. And for those of you that don't know. How big is it? It's pretty good.

43 feet. All right. 43 feet. All right. 43 feet. It's made of foam-covered metal rebar, and it weighs three tons. What? 6,000 pounds. I mean, people just got money to mess with.

Like, hey, I'm going to build this and hang this here. I mean, that fence looks like it could be at the border. Yeah, it doesn't look like a heavily populated area. Not really. Not a lot of people are going to even see this. But I suppose you need that to be able to put this up, and nobody knows. Yeah, you're not going to hang that from the Venetian sign on the strip. The sphere.

But I just brought this up because the picture is so funny. And I don't know what the point is. Why would somebody spend this much money to kind of carelessly hang this weird Trump statue? I mean, 6,000 pounds. That is massive. Why don't they get a sponsor and label it on there? The creators spoke about their intentions of this it says the piece is a quote bold statement on transparency vulnerability and the public personas of political figures

the creators have not been identified this publication does not know who they are they hope to inspire discussions around transparency or lack thereof in politics, challenging viewers to think critically about political influence. Bullshit. You just wanted to put up a funny naked statue of Trump. That's it. Well, you're so cynical, Danny. Somebody paid for that, too.

Somebody out of their wallet pulled out money and paid for a 6,000 pound naked Trump. And look, did they pixelate his wiener on that, Rob, on the bottom one? Yeah, you need that for YouTube. Yep. There it is. It's like Japanese porn, Dan. Where would you think, out of the 50 U.S. states,

that Texas would rank as far as cocaine usage. So the states with the highest ratio of people using cocaine. I'll bet it's up there. I'll bet. They put a lot of detail in this Trump wiener. Oh, you've seen the unfiltered version? Yes.

Why? I mean, I guess you want to do it right, but... No one likes to look at detail of a wiener like Blake. Why can't I zoom in on this? Is he circumcised or is he going with Eurocut? No, he's circumcised. Okay. But they got a little vein here. I mean, they did

pretty good. Okay. I don got a little vein here. I mean, they did pretty good. Okay. I don't know if it's true. Give him a little testes. It's funny. Well, here's where- Certainly Dallas, the big cities. We're looking at nice cocaine use.

We're close to the border. California has to be number one. This would be their first stop is Texas when they're unloading their cocaine. Just Hollywood, right? That's part of the fabric of California. New York. Texas. Probably right behind.

Right? Texas ranks as the number 45 out of 50 states for top cocaine usage, according to data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The data was pulled by a national survey on drug use and health, serving people 18 years or older from the years 2021 to 2022. Texas has the second lowest usage among the states in the south just behind Arkansas. Now you said California should be the top. It is at the top, but it's only at number five. Number four, and okay, so they determined this, the percentage of people in that state doing cocaine. Texas had 1.45%. California had 2.51%. They're at number five.

Number four is Massachusetts. 2% of all people in California have used cocaine? 2.51%. That seems pretty high. Number four is Massachusetts, 2.6%, followed by Rhode Island, 2.67. Rhode Island? Vermont is number two at almost 3%. Yeah.

Are they just like a lot of rich people there? Is that why? Cocaine is a rich man's drug. Really good point. Because the number one, all right, change your mind. If you said New York, New York is not in the top five. Who is number one? The highest cocaine...

What's the richest state then? Is that where we're going here? I don't know. Where would it be most expensive to... Maine. No, not Maine. It's Colorado. Colorado's number one?

They broke the 3% barrier at 3.06. Colorado's number one? They broke the 3% barrier at 3.06 The four states with lower cocaine usage Than Texas are South Dakota, Arkansas New Hampshire and Wyoming Yeah, all that makes sense Now I did notice there was a note here That this study was done during

The week that Mike Soroy went to Florida To take care of his mom So that could account for why we ranked so low. The drop in Dallas? Yeah. In Texas? Yeah. Yeah, I would think Florida might be up there,

but there's a lot of olds in Florida. Olds don't do cocaine, do they? I don't know. You're old. Do you do cocaine? I'm old. I don't do cocaine. I'm talking Florida olds, though.

Somebody came up entirely old. Yeah, like 80-year I'm talking Florida olds, though. Somebody came up with a tire old. Oh, you mean like 80-year-olds? Yeah, there's a lot of those. When do you stop doing cocaine if you just love it? When you're like 60? 70? Why do you have to stop? Yeah.

Well, then if you didn't stop. What if that helps you live to 100? There would be 80-year-olds doing cocaine in Florida, which Dan says there aren't. I'm just guessing there aren't, but maybe there are. Would you start doing it if it prolonged your life? Yeah. So you're gripping stuff with your toes and you're doing lines? Do some research, yeah.

I want Jake to get back. We got a big pile of cocaine on my standing desk. I'm barefoot. And I can't remember what else I'm going to do in this next week. I got to make all these changes in a week. I'd love to see Dan on cocaine. Was that a big part of your experimentation phase when you were doing stuff in your 20s? No.

Not a cocaine guy. I never did it. Blake, you've never done it, right? No. Yeah. Never did it. I'll bet Rob has. I've been it. Blake, you've never done it, right? No. Yeah, never did it. I'll bet Rob has. I've been around.

Oh, there's no doubt. He loves Colorado. That guy looks like cocaine. Doesn't he look like he's, yeah, he's the guy that likes to go into the mountains and just do a little micro toot. Just look back at everything. I feel so good, man. Look at that mountain.

His pinky nail is like his toot nail. Little toot nail. Yeah, I don't want to do cocaine. He's just laughing. He hasn't once said no. Right? Some things you're like, no, I've never. I've been around too many people that do cocaine.

And you know what they like to do when they do cocaine? Drink. More cocaine. No, no, no. Oh. Drink. Oh, really? Drink. Or cocaine. No, no, no. Oh. Drink. Oh, really? Yeah.

And the cocaine people, they like to get real drunk and then they'll go into the bathroom and come back and they think they're not drunk, but no, they're still drunk. They're just on cocaine too. And you will have the same

freaking conversation with them 17 times within a six-minute period. Right, Shane? A lot of head nods from the couch over there. It's amazing. Like, hardcore is triggering for me here. Yeah. Yeah.

That's one of the reasons I quit going out is because all the cocaine. You never did it. I never did it. I don't even know if I've ever been offered. I just look like maybe I look like one of those guys that doesn't want cocaine. You said you've been offered a lot. Around people a lot. Not really offered too much.

You said your show meetings with Saroy. Oh. But he's known me long enough that he knows I'm always going to say no. Well, the music bed ran out. And it also means more for him. He didn't want to share. And subscribe.

The Dumb Zone presents Today in History. That's Dan moving things along. And it's brought to us by Prosper Ford. My good friend Chaz Gilmore is revolutionizing the car buying experience.

He is the lead singer of the Butthole Surfers. His dad was a legendary television performer in Dallas known as Mr. Peppermint. And I haven't talked to him in many, many years. Did you guys have Gibby on your show?

You said yes, right? I've had Gibby on quite a few times. We've had Mr. Peppermint on when the hard line was intact with original members. I believe Mr. Peppermint's last DFW media appearance was on our show with Gibby. And then he died. Yeah. R.I.P. Pepe.

That's right. Yeah, just fire it up whenever you want. I'll just go, and if he ends up popping on, then we'll talk to Gibby Haynes. And if not, okay, then we'll leave him a message. Let's see. Can you pump that up a little? Is this the home or the cell? I went cell.

I was born in 57. You kind of stopped counting after your 50s, correct? You stopped being able to count. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, the Butthole Surfers, great. I met Gibby years ago because I happened upon some Butthole Surfers music, played it on the ticket. Somebody emailed me like, hey, I'm actually good friends with Gibby Haynes.

You want to talk to him? And then we met, and then you came in studio. And remember Mr. Peppermint was on the show with us? I think that was his last DFW media appearance, as a matter of fact. Oh, really? Yeah. Really? I don't. matter of fact. Oh, really? Yeah. Really? Yeah.

I don't. Did we call? Oh, my dad. Oh, I miss that dude. Yeah. I love him so much. You know what I used to ask him? He's one of the first.

I think he is actually the first. Actually, the first him and his buddy ran back to WFAA and were the first television announcement of the defamation of JFK. That's true. And you can see that on the YouTube. But kind of the cool thing about it is that every time, like as the years went by, I was like, Daddy-O, how many shots did you hear? He was like, three. And then he winked. Love it.

But anyway, so how are you guys doing? No more ticket? No more ticket, man. They ousted us. They're like, we don't want you anymore. Well, that's what, you haven't been in radio until you've been fired. Yeah. Well, it just kind of all ran out. But the Butthole Surfers, so you formed them in the late 70s?

I thought that was late 80s more. Late 70s, as a matter of fact. Mm-hmm. Damn. Yeah, it would have been like late 70s when me and my partner, Paul Leary, made our first song, which of course is Shaw Sleeps in Lee Harvey's grave. It was the first song we ever enacted together. And then we started doing it after that and uh there was uh fistfights and uh police involvement and and uh stealing uh um stealing um uh what do you call them uh uh

their uh their frozen rolls that the Asian people do. No one knows. People have debated that for years. Dang it. This is live. What do you call that thing you're doing again? It's streaming. So, yeah, it says here,

Kurt Cobain met Courtney Love at a butthole surfers concert is that true maybe but the the more important thing is that uh that uh courtney love and uh and her friends uh uh enticed us to play a show in min. And we went up there and then Courtney Love stole all the money from the show and went out to Seattle. And that's where she met Kurt Cobain. All right. And one of the last times I've talked to her, she was like, I got a check. I could pay you back right now.

And? No, he couldn't possibly have accepted that. Oh, you still get mailbox money and stuff? We were just talking about ASCAP BMI the other day. You still doing all right on that? Oh, dude, well, you know, you can either get ASCAP or BMI. Okay. And my thing is that we got an ASCAP so we wouldn't get BMNRI.

But, yeah, no, we're ASCAP. No, no, we actually make money still, years and years. It's unbelievable. I mean, multi-zero checks. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's nuts. Gibby, I remember, and forgive my ignorance on this a little bit,

but I remember over the summer, my ignorance on this a little bit but i remember i remember over the summer i kept seeing a bunch of promotion and trailers out for a documentary on you guys something like in june june or july but i kind of yeah teasers had did that come out and if so was it a theatrical release or can you stream it because i i remember seeing that, I cannot wait to see this, but what's the deal with that? It is not completed yet. Okay. And,

uh, it is, uh, it was financed. Uh, you kickstarted that, didn't you? Yes,

we did. And we got, uh, we got money from that, uh, Kickstarter from, uh, the guy that invented the COVID vaccination.

Oh, wow. Yeah. And so I could talk to that wing all I want to. I got the straight dope on how good the vaccination is. But nonetheless, and to go on with, I'm going to meet Derek Rossi is his name. I'm going to meet him this evening and going to go to an art show opening for Johnny Depp. Wow, so I'm dropping names. Yeah, bro.

First Satchel, now you're on to Johnny Depp. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah i can do that so no idea quite yet when we can expect the movie to be released the butthole surfers movie uh it was just uh submitted to uh uh the south by oh well no just submitted to uh what's the one up in the mountains? Oh, Telluride or one of those? Whatever. Yeah, it's really hard. Sundance, maybe?

The Robert Redford one, Sundance? Yeah, Sundance. It was just submitted for Sundance. I don't know if it was accepted, but apparently it's pretty decent. But no, it has not come out yet. And, uh. Now is this authorized by you and the band or is this kind of some guy going rogue? You guys working with the filmmakers? Yeah. Yes. Yes. We're not, it's not our thing, but, uh. But you guys contribute.

But you're not against it. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Cool. Yeah. But you guys contributed. But you're not against it. Yeah, okay, cool, cool. Yeah. Yeah, no, no, no. It's, I really, it's going to say some awful things about me, I'm sure.

Yeah, hell yeah. I will talk to you guys later. It feels like the word ass was unnecessary in the middle of that word. I liked it. That's some dad cussing right there. But that's Gibby Haynes. You just get stuff that you just don't know what's going on with Gibby Haynes all the time. I know.

When you're talking shit, you don't need to hear ass before it. The unpredictable Gibby Haynes. Love you guys. All right, man. Thanks. Hang in there. All right. You too.

There's the great Gibby Haynes. You have no idea how much. I love that man. All right, man. Thanks. Hang in there. All right. You too. There's the great Gibby Haynes. You have no idea how much. I love that man. All right. Hang up on Gibby. So great. When we had him in studio a while back, this is when TC was like an intern. And?

And so Gibby Haynes, he's like over 50 or something, and we're thinking, oh, but legendary, like, I don't know, would you say punk rocker?er yeah for sure like they were just out there underground punk he's definitely you know what he is punk rock other bands may claim to have a punk rock sound but that guy lives it okay so i this goes to that so he's like 50 something or whatever And so that was like way back in the day he was this. And so like, hey, intern TC, will you go pick up Gibby from the airport? Oh, yes. And he picks up Gibby, and I guess he had to stop to grab a tall boy on the way. Yeah.

And so Gibby pounded a tall boy before he got in the studio. And he's like 50-something. It's like, damn, dude. Well, hopefully it was a lone star, Dan. It was definitely a lone star. I remember. I remember it vividly. I love that TC had to pick up Gibby Haynes from the airport.

Yeah, isn't that sweet? Oh, my God. That's a long drive. No, Love Field, downtown. Come on. It's all good. Oh, Love Field? Nah, it's not.

Today is Monday, September 30th. On this day in 1925, the Texas Technological College opened in Lubbock. It would later become known as Texas Tech University. Baseball note. On this day in 1963, John Pachorek, an 18-year-old Houston outfielder. Got that late-season call-up, you know? Mm-hmm. So it's his first game ever.

They expanded the rosters. He gets three singles in his first game, walks twice, scores four runs, had three RBI. He is going to be the next superstar in baseball, John Pachorek. But he injured his back, never played another game. He ended his career batting 1,000. The only player to ever end their career batting 1,000. At least according to this piece of paper I'm reading. Call him, Blake.

On this day in 1971, the Washington Senators, Pat, played their last game in Washington before moving to Arlington to become the Texas Rangers. They had to forfeit that last game because fans stormed the field in an effort to take souvenirs. This was the last game of the season in 1984 when Mike Witt needed just 97 pitches to throw a perfect game, 1-0, over the Texas Rangers.

The first perfect game in baseball since Len Barker threw one in 1981. And I was on my way to that game, but it was drizzling. So my dad said, let's go back to the apartment. That was May 15th. And we'll watch it there. You remember that day, huh? It's my birthday. Well, we'll call you on that day,

since you always take your birthday off. On this day in 2014, the first case of Ebola diagnosed in the U.S. was confirmed in a patient who had recently traveled from Liberia to Dallas. All right. How about that? And then he gave it to Nina, right? Yep. And then we met Nina Pham.

How did he give it to Nina? Just because she was all his nurse and stuff. Maybe they hooked up. Maybe they hooked up. It's because he touched his friend. You're not supposed to do that. Don't touch your friend. Mm-mm.

Don't eat the bat. Is that how you get it? Is eating bats? I thought that was COVID. Oh. And on this day in 2018, another baseball note. Okay, you guys are both baseball guys,

so let's just see, do you think this is interesting at all? Danny is. Because this morning, I thought you were all stoked on baseball. No? He likes softball. Yeah, give me a softball thing. Tell the softball story that you had. So this is a Chris Davis story.

Which one? Ours. Okay. Wait, the second one that we had. Didn't we get Chris with a Chris Davis story. Which one? Ours. Okay. Wait. The second one that we had. Didn't we get Chris with a K? Yeah. At some point, it really...

Get this thing to the playoffs. Yeah, it was like a year ago, and then he got released. And he was DFA'd. A week later. So Chris Davis went 0 for 2 in the A's 5-4 loss to Anaheim on this day in 2018. This would have him finish with a.247 batting average for the fourth consecutive season. Don't you think that's weird?

It's incredible. Like exactly.247. And if you look at his at-bats, it's like.580,.610. Like every year, though, exactly.247. And if you look at his at-bats, it's like 580, 610. Like every year, though, exactly 247. And he actually finished eighth in MVP voting that year because he had 48 home runs as well. That's a good bit. That is a good bit.

How come he didn't do that here? I don't know. Probably JD's fault. Other birthdays, Pac-Man Jones, 41. I think he got in a fight with his own security detail one time. Yes. And I remember Wade Phillips was the coach at that point, and the media asked Wade Phillips what his punishment will be,

and Wade Phillips said well ask Jerry later when he does his press conference like because he just deferred everything he had no say in anything I do love that clip in Hard Knocks when Wade can't believe how many punts he's able to catch at the same time look at that man like what like eight or nine you got six footballs yeah it a terrible weight. Sam Ellinger is 26. Big game, Sam. Equanimous St. Brown is 28. He's the oldest.

Brother of Amon Ra. Are you familiar with the St. Brown kids? No. Okay. They all have weird names names so they stick out. In fact, their last name is Brown, but he changed it to St. Brown. Their dad...

I don't remember the third one. Their dad married like a... He married a woman because of her athletic genes and he planned to build professional athletes. Okay.

That was his whole bit, kind of like Todd Marinovich's dad. And one of them has turned out to be really, really good, Amon Ross St. Brown. Mm-hmm. And the other ones are just, and they all speak five languages, and they were all straight-A students. That's their mom's bit. Osiris is the third one.

Osiris? Mm-hmm. Kool-A's bit. Osiris. It's the third one. Osiris? Kool-Aid McKinstry is 22. He's really good. And his name's Kool-Aid? Yep. Barry Williams is 70. Greg Brady. Greg from the Brady

Bunch. Eric Stoltz is 63. Fast Times. Which one? The red-haired guy that would always fall out of the van, like the last one with Spicoli and his cronies. He never really said anything in Fast Times. No. Tony Hale, 54.

Tony Hale? Hmm. Isn't he Buster Bluth? Tony Hale Hmm Isn't he Buster Bluth? There's no way to actually know that So I'd only be guessing Gibby Haynes 67

Ta-Nehisi Coates 49 Kieran Culkin 42 Romy Roman Roy Love him And T-Pain is 40 Hell yeah

From the Autotune app Man, I love T-Pain I love that app, dude Does this still exist? I would like to just play some of our audio Into this app And then have it spit out a song. Wouldn't that be great?

Wouldn't it? That's not rhetorical. Born on this day, now dead, Truman Capote. Wow. Who wrote In Cold Blood. You ever seen the movie? What's that? In Cold Blood with Robert Blake.

It's freaking awesome. Is it? Yes. I love the book. It's really good. Philip Seymour Hoffman? No, this was like the old, old one. Well, Philip Seymour Hoffman was in Capote. And I think

that covered the time when he was writing or... Yeah, when he was writing it. You know, he wrote his first novel in the French Quarter in New Orleans. Truman? Yeah. Yeah.

I walked by where he lived at the time. Many times. And born on the standout dad, Chris Von Erich. A professional wrestler who committed suicide. Okay, which... How did he do it? Because weren't there more than one? I don't know.

I know the Von Erich is like a thing around here. I saw that movie. The only reason I'm bringing it up. Yeah. The Zac Efron movie? Iron Claw, yeah. I'm not really interested at all. I mean, I didn't watch the movie.

Dead on this day, still dead. Dan Quisenberry and Robert Kardashian. He died before all of this stuff happened, right? Yes. With his daughters blowing up like they did and the way they did? Yes. It was up. Huh?

Oh. And that was Today in History. He's up. I'm pro that. Well, what a Monday, folks. We didn't really do a lot of cowboy talk. I have some cowboy stuff for you. I'll have that tomorrow.

You want to give some closing remarks, Shane, or do you care about anything in the world? Generally, no, but I can make some time for closing remarks. Okay. First, thanks for having us out. I don't know why you two have let me be a hanger-on for 25-plus years now. I don't know why you used to look like Trevor Lawrence

and somehow you've morphed into Ray Donovan. Doesn't he kind of look like, was it Leo of Ty? Leo of... Schreiber. Schreiber. You kind of have morphed into... yeah, you've aged quite well. Thank you, sir. Yeah, for sure.

Anyway, sorry. No, that's good. Oh, you're talking about facial recognition on the phone and not having it, or Dan doesn't have it on? Do you know if you get pulled over by the cops, they can't get into your phone without a warrant if they have to use a passcode because that's information that's in your head? But if you have facial recognition, they can hold it up to your face. They don't need a warrant to get into your phone without a warrant if they have to use a passcode because that's information that's in your head. But if you have facial recognition, they can hold it up to your face.

They don't need a warrant to get into it. Oh, well. I would like to hear how you know that. There's a reason to not have facial recognition because I'm often on the run. Because I'm kind of obsessed with the videos of people that the cops pull them over and they act like Jake used to act. Yeah, me too. Just to see what they can get away with. Oh, I can watch those.

And then they're really good too, the videos of people doing that to Border Patrol. That gets very, very contentious. Yeah. So, yeah. I didn't know if you had a personal story of... Oh, no. I've always made every wrong decision

when getting pulled over. Okay. Yeah, so don't ever take... You're more like young Jake? No. Well, when I looked like I looked when I met you guys initially, and I lived in the suburbs here, I had lots of problems with the cops.

They pulled me over. They see a skinny 20-year-old in a Pantera shirt, and it was like we got him on something. And usually I had something in the car or whatever. But now I'm old. So the profiling is correct, actually. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I get pissed about it but they were

right so what are you gonna do um that's about it oh last thing when you guys were on the ticket and blake first became the producer i fucking hated blake yeah i did and it wasn't really about you it was about i just hated change right like i Like I think it was this past June when I finally got over Tom Gribble taking over for Rick Arnett. So it just takes a while, you know? Wow. But I think that this – Just got over Gribble. Yeah.

Gribble never – we're not going to go there. I think this format is like much better for Blake stuff. So I like what you do now. And I would like an alternate feed of the show if we could that is just Blake cam. I don't think we can do that. Because I think you can count the facial expressions made. We can, can't we, Rob? Rob ISOs everybody.

I don't think we can. I think you'd do well with an alternate stream of just on Blake the entire time. There we go. Perfect. That's way better than me on screen. Isn't Blake a good-looking dude? He is. So handsome.

He's not going to have a – he'll be 60 and have no wrinkles in his face. Yeah. He's never moved any of those muscles. Are we done? Can we hit the thing? Can we go? Closer, Rob. Let's get intimate with Blake. Get in there. Look at that.

Look at that snack. You see my trophy back here? Look how uncomfortable he is right now. I ate it. Can't stand it. You look good, dude. You're a really good looking dude. What are you, 33? Will you fire the thing already?

That looks great. Adios, mofo. We gotta go before this becomes a zoo. Thank you for watching my video. Subscribe and type for my name if you want to watch more of my video.
