I also would like to hear myself in my ears. Me too. Neither if you hear yourself in your ears. Just more. I need a little, hello, hello, hello. It's there. I need a little for me. Day two of a new theme.

How's it fit? getting a little worn in you like it yeah we cannot acquit got a new mitt it fit I'm never listening I'm gonna listen to the dog song I ain't know man I'm right a right a right all right the great George Jordan George Richardson who has warmed his way into our stream tonight happy football it's a Oh, we made it. Football season is upon us. Starting with the Cowboys Eagles game.

Incredible. Tonight, we'll hit the air at 7.15. Foot hits ball at 7.20, I believe. Total leather, baby. Do we have any updates on whether or not Akash will join and carry his computer into the living room where his Eagles fan wife was? because I really like that feature from previous games.

It is a great feature, and it's possible that we can swing that for Week 12, Philadelphia. Okay. But in my conversations with Akash this morning, he had something else going on, like travel planned. That fell through. Now, you may be thinking, okay, then he'll join me. He's like, that fell through, so I think I'm going to a wedding. And he goes, I don't watch the games and won't. Who has a Thursday night wedding on opening night of the NFL?

Indian people will have weddings for like four days sometimes. You think it's a wedding today? I don't know. Yeah, it's probably a Saturday wedding, but now he's going to travel to the wedding because of the time is for you. I don't know, but I know he's like, no, no, I will not be joining you guys tonight, but thanks for asking. He's like, I don't watch, I won't watch, I didn't watch them last year really hardly at all.

And I said, you'll be back. You'll be back. I feel like that's entitled fan behavior. This Cowboys' idea that your team is supposed to be good. This is foreign to the other franchises. You're going to have to let me know. It's good? We're good?

No. Oh, we're not good. Okay. Well, I'm because T.C.'s computer is not telling me anything now. Because he's, I'm just, we're waiting on Brandon Aubrey. Brandon Aubrey show. Who are you? Dan McDowell.

I'm Jake. I'm T.C. Fleming. We also have Clayton here. He is hooking up Brandon Aubrey at some point. Brandon Aubrey in Philadelphia. Ready for tonight's big game. And he knows the one thing that could calm his nerves, which he's just talking to his buddies.

That's really what it is. We're just going to kind of go through. What was Al Franken's sketch? The Stewart Smalley thing. We'll just kind of do a little reflection. We tell him he's good enough. He's the strongest kicker man in the world. And then he just nails.

Today is also the first D's Picks segment. very controversial not sure how it's going to go it's Cirque de Soroy we're going to pick games against them probably in a team format but we'll just see we're getting bad vibes from Cirque

like I don't even know if they want to do this bit well that'll be hashed out that will be hashed out today that's what it's for that's hash out time it is viewer mail day as well don't you guys wish that there was a way just again let me know whenever

quantified lifestyle that you could like right now I feel as if I'm the most excited for a cowboy season as I've been in a very long time like the fact that I just feel as excited for football I'll put it to you like that

but I probably say this every year very excited for football but I haven't I can't remember a season when there was such a tumbleweed bouncing across the landscape of cowboys that's why yes that's fandom It feels like they're 0 and 3 now.

I'm thinking about league-wide stories that I'm reading a lot of national stuff. You know, people are wondering. Ben Johnson in Chicago. How's that going to go? We got, oh, Aaron Rogers with Pittsburgh. Weird? Okay. Interested.

You know, Travis Hunter. What's he going to do? Is he going to play both sides of the ball? Is he going to, you know, where's he going to start out more heavy? A lot of things are happening in the NFL. San Francisco, bouncing. back year, easy schedule, can they contend with, you know, an upstart Arizona team and, you know, whatever Seattle's rolling out there now, all this stuff. I haven't seen anyone, like,

excited about the Cowboys, except for, boy, that seems like maybe a dumb move that you got rid of this one guy, like right before the season. So I think all that is true. I don't know that they make for great points of analysis for what we think are going to happen to the Cowboys season, what other people are talking about. But I would say that your general thing has always been, man, when everyone's talking about them, things go so poorly. Well, yeah, when there's just too much expectations. Well, this feels like the exact opposite of it.

Right. Well, but I don't subscribe to the opposite. Like, oh, then they do really well. But if you're using one of them as like a data. point for prediction, then you would only stand to reason. It would have to work somewhat the other way. Mike Sando, the venerable Mike Sando, in his, I don't know what he calls. Everybody's doing, here's some things I think I think, like Peter King, but Mike Sando's

is a narrative changing coach, Brian Schottenheimer. His hire in Dallas wasn't received well initially, the Cowboys fans would be pleasantly surprised by the new head coach. who was ready to meet the moment. That's, of course, a hyperlink plug for a profile. The two-year Dallas OC is already familiar with the Cowboys Media Frenzies, inherits an offense stack with talent, and has kept the team together amid the Parson situation.

He also thrived as a play caller for the Seahawks from 18 to 20, as Mike Sando is noted. His offenses average is 26.1 points per game. So if you look at the top four by points scored, OC's minimum 40 games, Number one is Ben Johnson, number two is Josh McDaniels, number three is Brian Schadenheimer. I would not have anticipated that. And then he goes on to talk about the Cowboys in his like wrap-up.

This one far less logic-based, but I'm going to have to grab it everything. He said he asked eight NFL executives to rank the Cowboys, rank the NFC 1 to 16. Cowboys finished 13th. He said that seems super low, so I check Vegas. 7.5 ranks 13th. here's why that might be misleading he says the top three AFC teams have higher average win totals than their counterparts in the NFC do

the reverse is true in picks 8 through 13 so like the distribution of wins the AFC has some good teams they're going to be good as one exec put it I think a team from the NFC is going to make the playoffs that's like where the fuck did they come from I just think somebody over there is going to get lucky

whereas in the AFC, I don't think I got all seven right, but I think I got five, like pick and playoff teams. So just the dynamic of being in a weaker conference as I grasp here. That's it, yeah. You know, it's something. Yeah, you're. And did you see what they did with Hunter Lipke. I don't know if you get. Oh, my God.

Well, the room loves it because he's a big room guy and everybody, you know, real happy to see him. You know what's weird is that paying him two for seven and a half is not that. much less than they were actually trying to pay real running backs, right? Didn't DeVante get like four? Yeah, you're right. They have a weird plan, but... No, we're going fullback heavy. We might be. I thought about that a lot after yesterday. Kyle Eusecheck is not Kyle Eusecheck if he doesn't end up with Kyle Shanahan. That's the only really point I was trying to make is that teams have guys that good coordinators and systems can get more out of, and you just don't really see the Cowboys ever do that.

Like, we're always like, maybe Marty B. You know, is the Swiss Army knife, the piece. Who do we expect to get the first carry tonight? That's a funny one. Let's talk about tonight a little bit. All right. First, let's just plug, let us plug our good friends at Game Day men's health. The key to muscles and wealth.

There's no chance you get through football season and enjoying it to the maximum without checking in with the people over at game day men's health go get yourself a b12 shot get you ready for this weekend perhaps um oh it is prostate cancer awareness month and in honor of that game day men's health will give you a free prostate exam now what they do there is they do it with blood work it's they will not have to put a digit up people at game day don't mind me saying it's horseshit they won't slide up digit in the back door i far hard on this call Yeah, you wanted them to put a finger in you, but they will not. They said they don't need to.

The selling point is we can do this quickly with a small blood test and we can save lives. And free. So just stop at Game Day Men's Health. While you're there as well, they can check your testosterone levels, kind of tell you where you land on that spectrum. And then free testosterone therapy, excuse me, 10% off testosterone therapy for life. If you mentioned the dumb zone at Game Day Men's Health. Game Day, Men's Health. Health.com. They've got 12 locations.

There's one near you, so go popped in. Did you give the new website? I'm sorry. No, go ahead. Oh, I was pointing at you. Gameday. Dot, dumzone.com. That'll help us, too. Gameday. Dot, dumzone.com. If you want to do that instead of calling, because you're a bit antisocial. What a sweet landing page.

All I do think first carry, I wish I had a full menu of props, like at that. that level, you know? I'd love to take Super Bowl style. Is it a run? Is it a pass? Air yards. It's got to be a run, right? I don't think so. You think Clayton, Schottenheimer? I think. They've been hard to call a run for months. The way for them to win, to me, is pretty obviously to throw the piss out of the ball tonight. I don't know that you can protect long enough. Your offensive line is going to be up against it in a hurry. We'll see what Guyton has coming back from injury, but I think Dax's quick game is pretty good when they have receivers who can run it,

and I'm just having to pin a lot of hopes to, you know, Dack can throw balls outside. He can throw balls outside deep. He can throw that, just think like the Amari used to just be able to run 12 yards and turn around, like man-beater coverage. Pickens can do that, and I feel like Dack can put that on a rope. The just, you know, whether it's eight back to six, 12 back to 10, just run, turn around. You're going to have to single cover George Pickens. The first carry of the game, to me, should be a six-yard pass to George Pickens.

Like an easy pitch and catch that's just to remind you, he's there now. We're going to move through this drive with you having to think about both of them on every single play. Not possible, but try to maximize that strategy. And then first carry, I don't know. The shot he feels like the type of guy who, uh... Do you guys remember when John's? Jason Kidd one time played, like, everyone on the roster. Yep.

Well, they were playing, like, Houston game one. I know, but it felt silly. Yeah, it was. Shotty feels like the type of guy that would give Giovante Williams and Kerry and be like, I just knew what it meant to him. You're like, yeah, we went for no yards, and now we're behind the chains. Well, that's the thing. Like our EPA is already negative.

So here's the thing. Cowboys win the toss. What do they do? Defer. But they won't. They'll take the ball. I hope they take the ball and turn into the, turn. into the great show on turf.

So here's my theory if I'm going to kick a positive for Shottie. Because so far, the way it looks to me is that we're going to end up having a bad season and saying, yeah, they hired Brian Schottinheim's Razor. That's probably, yeah, the very easiest, you know, but we talked ourselves into it. He was so fun. He said lots of cool things. He wore a visor backwards. Like, okay.

Do you know about his dad? One of the winningest coaches of all time. They play music. He's got it in his blood. My theory, the positive theory on Shottie is he is sandbagging. He is like kind of floating out there. You know, we're not showing anything in the preseason. Okay, that's true.

They didn't even let players play. Does it kind of feel like whenever you'd have a project do, but your professor would make you, like, check in to show you were doing it, and you're like, I can't even show you how awesome it is. Just wait. And it's like, you just don't have anything. Like, the reason that their preseason was so Manila, I did Terrence Parsons, Vanilla, is that he's like, shit, I need to come up with an offense.

Like, we don't know what he's, what cards he's holding, because we don't know what he wants to do. But when he first got the job, he says, we're going to run the ball, which makes absolutely no sense from any outside observer looking at this roster if you walked away saying, what do I want to do with this thing? What's our identity? We're going to run the ball. You should probably be fired on the spot from whatever your job is.

It's ridiculous. McCarthy said it too. Yeah, but it wasn't this bad. He also didn't hire an offensive line coach. and run game coordinator as an OC, you know, like, that's a signal. Somebody's doing that. But I kind of think he thinks he's being sly. He thinks this is my positive spin on Shottie.

He thinks the world is watching that and gearing up for some running. And he really does know what he has. And he's going to come out tonight knowing we have to score 30 points to win this game. And we're going to start right now. and we are we're going to treat that first series as if it was a we just got a turnover and nobody expected it we are slinging it around and i actually would rather see them sling it around and go three and out with incompletions or whatever then i would with let's try uh let's throw them off here with javanti williams or whatever and now we're second and ten like let's just get let's do

what we the way this team can win if they're like whatever Eric Coriel or something their identity has to be revolving around DAC and wide receivers they probably should have even signed another wide receiver this offseason

yeah I mean I think they're going to they're going to give you a little terp to try to you know who yeah that's interesting how that figures it's a lot more interesting when you're not relying on them to half the time be your second wide receiver just for context

last year, the Cowboys passed on average all plays, if you're just talking about how often did the league pass in that exact situation, they were about 2% below average. So they're about average, right? I mean, there are teams like the Chiefs that are 9% over average in throwing, 10% over. Cowboys are about middle of the pack a little bit below. So I just tell you that to see at the end of the year, are they above the league or not? Last year, but also last year is a little bit of a tough story. Maybe I should go back to 23 because they didn't have DAC last year.

I'm in a re-inholding pattern? Just summit. What do you guys think is happening? I'm texting right now. I have also sent text messages. You made an interesting comment there about the, like they just got a turnover. Why not, right? Like if, why not just let that be Shottie's life philosophy?

Like, holy shit, we jumped on a fumble. I'm a coach of the Cowboys. Why not just go for it, right? I don't know what he thinks of his job security, but I just, I think the Cowboys, I think they've got a longer leash than, like you guys doing the jokes about being fired by whenever, I think he can be himself and they're going to kind of have to ride with it.

Like if he comes out and wants to throw the ball, you know, 8% higher than league average and he's the Chiefs, then what can the Cowboys do? Be like, oh, shit, we didn't know he was this. He has some level of power here. Like, they hired him. I hear what you're saying, but, like, because you're like, man, there's not that many times

that an NFL team fires a coach after one season, so you would think that at the very least, you've got, what, what, 17 times 2? 34? Yeah. 34 games to play with here, and this is either the first of that. But then I think about the other teams that have fired coaches. It's like Jim Tom Sula.

And then I'm like, man, Shottie might be a Jim Tom Sula level failure. Dude, no, ask the Patriots, right? About what? Drod Mayo, they fired him after one year. They were like real fired up about that. Yeah, and I just, I think that Shadi has the chance to be a Gerard Mayo level bad coach. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

No, and I'm saying this because. of history, and I truly believe it is the one sport where the head coach can mean a few wins. I don't disagree with that at all, do you? Although I think baseball, yes, a head coach manager could be like a few wins, but there's 162 of the games. My, I just, I think, again, to sound like a homer, you're totally right, but I think in the NFL, there are situations where if the quarterback is such that, you know, you can get by with a head coach that's a little bit less experience. I don't even know if I can back that up. I just know I wouldn't want Brian Schottenheimer coaching like Archmanning next year.

You know what I mean? Yeah, no, they talk a lot when you talk about great teams about the coach quarterback combo. Are there a lot of examples of a coach quarterback combo when you think the coach is incompetent with this great quarterback, or is that impossible because the great quarterback will elevate the team more than the great coach can with a bad quarterback. Like, who was the Denver coach when Peyton Manning first went there?

John Fox. John Fox. Now I'm, and he was thought of as a 500 coach, right, throughout his career, and then he wins the Super Bowl. But, of course, Peyton Manning, if I'm to say that, that is I'm making the analogy that DAC is Peyton Manning, and I don't think anybody's ever done that unless Jake wants to. I'm actually, I've been marinating on the, I got to wait for the,

Wayne Gretzky was protected by the NHL because he was good for business take to die down, especially after I'm calling out of other people for being hot takey. But I've been marinating on my, Peyton Manning was definitely better than Tom Brady. I thought it my whole life, like I thought it when I was watching football. And now I feel like I'm the only one, but I know that it's context and team and he's a winner. Brady needed to. I never felt like he was better than Manning when I was watching. But when he needed to, he all of a sudden popped off a 50 touchdown season.

I know. I don't want to do it right now, but did you feel like when you were watching that, didn't it just feel like when you were watching Peyton Manning? It was like, holy shit, this has never happened before. That's how I felt. And with Brady, it was like, they're winning every game. I've always felt that it was clear that Brady was better, and the fact that he played so much longer seemed to cement it clearly to me.

But whenever I did a podcast with former, football player Ben Muth. I was shocked when it came up, and he was like, obviously Manning's better. He's his own O.C. No one else has helped. Like, he's doing the whole thing. And Ben was an offensive lineman who, like, they revere Peyton Manning. Yeah.

So, I don't know I say not the case for Brady, but. In any case, Dak, neither. Dach neither. Yet. Yet. Maybe he's got more to unlock. if we're just going cowboys here holding pattern i was telling you guys i listened to an interview at the behest of our friend bob sturm that was the eagles gm howie roseman on a pardon my take

this is like during training camp it's like 40 minutes and i'm not saying you should compare your gm to like the guy who just engineered a super bowl a second time in 10 years in like the most competitive league in the world. But there could not be more difference in the way they talk about how they run their operation. Just the chaser that was Howie Roesman talking about roster building after the last two weeks of Micah's shit that I've sucked of listening to Jerry and Stephen and the agent and Micah

and everybody talk about this. Then just listening to the way the Eagles do, It's a business. It's a business. They just don't operate in a way where emotion seemingly gets involved, like, ever. But he's also like the best of the best. They don't have the one guy just to jump in. And I got a Trump card over all this stuff that you actually want to do.

It felt like... And Stephen also is a bit of a... I would guess Stephen is a bit of a title as well. As far as, if you think, oh, well, Stephen's the real GM. Well, no, he isn't. it's kind of like Will McLeigh. Right. And then it's certain things, certain people.

Yeah, and I know they do that with the Eagles as well, but it was just, it was an interesting listen as they have 13 picks next year. Next year. Eagles landed. As it were. Next year, really? Yeah.

Whatever. We got some new picks, too. We're cool. Do we have Brandon? Yes. Oh, okay. Well, let's welcome on the kicker for the, the Dallas Cowboys.

All-Pro kicker. The all-pro kicker. Hey, guys. Can you hear me? He is the great Brandon Aubrey. He is in Philadelphia, we hope. Yes, Philadelphia in high atop a hotel room. All right.

What if you were not there, who kicks? If I'm not there, banger, but then the question is who holds? Yeah. That's more important, I think. Can Trent do both? Can Trent hold? Trink and holds, but then who snap? No, both.

Yeah, it's it. How quick is he? Trink can hold really well, actually. You know, specialists, you get on the field and you kind of, when you have a bunch of guys, not like necessarily for practice, but when you're on your own working and, you know, you've got like two holders out there and one kicker, somebody snapping. I can kind of snap. Not great.

I can kind of punt. A little better at punting than snapping, but we can all kind of do everything. Trent can't punt or kick, though. It's kind of hard to figure those ones out. Can I ask you, this is a punting question. Before you ask a punting question, just a reminder, Brandon in with us for another year. And it's brought to you by Community Mechanical. Community Mechanical.

So just a quick hit on that. Stop air conditioning Texas? I don't know. Yeah, no, they're great. Our HVAC company, and I believe Branden's as well. Yes, I love those guys. Yeah, so shout out to Community Mechanical. Good men, honest men.

Just a quick one here. how do they practice punt block like it feels really dangerous to have to practice diving into a punter's leg and I've always wondered when watching that I don't remember that ever being practiced obviously like at the high school levels how do you guys do that?

You don't really practice it. You practice your rushes. You have your cards and your game plan for the week or the whatever you want to do and you'll run all the way through it until you get to the point of blocking the kick and you just kind of, you don't. Or what you do in training camp,

we'll have an EQ guy kind of punt soccer balls and they likely jog at him and then practice their technique because there is a technique to blocking kicks. Okay, sharks, business idea. We come up with some sort of a machine, a contraption for punt blockers that, like a jugs machine, it just kicks.

It's just a punting leg out at you so you can time out the jump and it kicks you in your pads. Because I feel like a lot of guys, the first time they block a punt is the first time they're like, holy shit, I just got kicked right in the chest. Like you can't prepare for that experience. Yeah, and a lot of the guys, once they get through the line and they get to the punter, and specifically with punting,

they think kind of like the ball's going to go way up in the air, so I got to go up to it. You got to go down to where the ball's been punted from to have a real shot of getting it. Interesting. How's the weather up there? It looks good right now. We got chances for storms, it looks like.

Maybe some rain, maybe some lightning. Hopefully we don't get delayed. I doubt it. It's like a 40% chance of rain. Saw a little lightning icon. I'm not a weather guy by any stretch of the imagination, but see little lightning icons late night. So hopefully we don't get pushed back

and have another Pittsburgh. I was about to say, dude, you've been through the worst. I'm surprised Brandon Aubrey's not a weather guy. Oh, no. My wife handles the weather around the family because being a pilot and all, you know, their lives depend on knowing what's going on. My ball flight depends on it, but it's less important than when your life's up at stake flying a plane, especially those little planes.

So she's the weather lady in the family. Is that natural grass there? Yes. thankfully week one so should be in great shape do you like natural grass over turf um I like natural grass for my teammates not getting injured for kicking football for the turf it's more consistent the hashes don't get chewed up so we have an easy lineup for the ball like the ball's going to go right on the back corner of the hash and nice aiming point for Brian to put the ball down on and we're all on the same page and

plant is the same everywhere there's no like drainage um turf especially inside so there's no crown usually on those fields so when you're kicking and there's a significant crown and um they don't make fields like that anymore but some of the older fields like the oxnard field has a huge crown on it um so uh you're kind of below the ball when you're on the left hash um going to kick the ball which is a little extra layer you have to think about when kicking Did you watch the Jerry documentary or, yeah, the gambler, whatever, eight-part thing? Yeah, I loved it. Being a 30-year-old Cowboys fan, obviously born after the last Super Bowl, so didn't get to see it all firsthand.

And not a big history of a guy. I don't spend a lot of time sitting down looking at the past sports history. So I learned a lot, got to learn a lot about Charles Haley and Michael Irving and all those guys. which, what a great time they were. And Charles is around the locker room frequently still. So it's good to see him back in his heyday. Yeah, well, I wanted to bring up for you the, I don't know, I'm only on episode, maybe it's four now. But they got to the NFC championship game, and they're taking on the San Francisco 49ers in San Francisco.

And apparently then they would share the stadium with a baseball team. and the baseball field, they just play it on the baseball field, and it's so muddy and just like, you ever been on a field like that kicking? Luckily, no, I've never been on anything like that. I don't know what you do there. I've avoided snow games so far my two years here. So I don't think there's just mud bulls anymore like that.

It have to be ridiculous conditions, but the greenskeepers or the groundskeepers do such great job that you carry the fields that even the grass fields a day after a terrible rainstorm is great. Like the Pittsburgh field drained so well and didn't have the massive crown that I was talking about. So I don't know how they do it. But that would be the closest to it because we just came off a torrential downpour storm. And the field was a little slick and the ground kind of gave way, but there were no massive mud puddles like that.

I don't know how you even feel to a football team on that condition. So this is the first and probably only time that we'll ever talk to you on a game day. So just what's today like for you, the normal sort of routine? What does the schedule look like? What would you be doing if you weren't talking to us right now? How's it different for other guys? Like just, is there a meditation block? How do we mentally prepare today?

East Coast primetime game there's a lot of downtime so we have our morning meetings and then from like 12 until about 3 30-ish you just got time to kill so I personally just sit up here in my room I'll play a video game or watch TV call call the wife check in on them see how everything's going but I'm trying to just burn as little energy as possible go down to pregame meal, eat my food, hop on the early bus, get over to the field, and then sit in the locker room for another like 20, 30 minutes, go through my pregame routine, walk the field, find my kicking lines and the beat up places on the turf, that sort of thing, and then go through my stretching routine and then head out for pregame warmups and play the game. There's not a lot of thought that goes into killing time. It's just try and conserve as much energy as possible, mentally and physically. so that both resources are finite and used very heavily during the game. What's your favorite time to have a game?

I see a lot of guys say noons and you get the rest of the day to yourself. The 12 o'clock at home is ideal. It's a little bit early for me. I like the three, three o'clock time slot kind of ramp up to the game, but still didn't have a chance to catch up with family after it and hang out. But, yeah, these primetime games are really tough, especially when you have little kids now, because when they're at home, they're coming to the game

and kind of throwing off their sleep schedule for the rest of the week. But there's just, you can't do anything. So it's kind of nice to have it broken up a little bit and talk to you guys. Do you see Blake on the plane? I did not. Saw him at the hotel today. delivered some Lucy's for the other specialists, and they're excited about it. Lovely, yeah.

Our little buddies, he's growing up. We're all very proud of him. That's not your game. What's that? You're not, that's not your game. No, yeah, not for me. Do you smoke cigarettes? I do not.

What was, Lynn Dawson was a kicker and a quarterback, wasn't he, or was he just quarterback? He might have been both. He's the famous smoking on the side. sideline photo. Yeah, yeah. Replacements? Yeah, there you go. The, I don't know, it was the Irish English.

Yeah, I love that you that you like the replacements. That's a big one for me, but I feel like that's after Dan's Keanu cutoff line. Like he recognizes like the greatest point break, et cetera, but I feel like once we get to what's his name, not Utah. Falco?

Shane Falcons. That's a great movie. It is. Has your agent called Stephen yet? Has my agent called Stephen yet? Well, when they traded Micah, all of a sudden, they signed Duran Blan, they signed Hunter Lipke, and I'm like, yeah, I got a guy who's on the last year of his deal. Can we get something for our guy? Price of the brick is going up.

Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. It's a little bit close to season to involve me in it. So if they're talking, they're talking behind closed doors. I don't want to be involved, and I just want to focus on kicking. She's going to go make my case on the field, and the lawyers and Jerry and those guys, if they want to talk about it in season, go ahead. But don't involve me until something's done.

Have we talked to you since you hit a 64-yarder? I don't think so. Oh, yeah. It's been a couple weeks. Yeah, the last preseason game, right? Friday night game. Yeah. yeah was that i don't know uh do you get extra fired up tuesday i mean yeah 64 now it's almost

yeah is that uh nothing for you now whatever well i didn't feel my greatest going into that game been long camp camp we kick way more than we do in regular season so my body was pretty beat up and we traveled um a couple days before that so i was talking with the other specialists and they're like you're going to kick a 70 something today i'm like i just don't think i have that in me today um We'll see, but then when we went out for it and the crowd started roaring and adrenaline's going, I was like, all right, this is awesome. I don't feel anything. My body feels fantastic. I got so much adrenaline going.

I got all the juice in the world. And then you can just murder the ball. But I couldn't sum that up in pre-game practice is like I was probably 61 cap in pregame. So the fans really helped the game day adrenaline just you can't replicate. a game kick um what you feel so until you get that situation it's hard to really know what you got in the tank um i'd say i probably get like five six extra yards just by the fact that my adrenaline's going and it's it actually counts i wondered if having that too much juice could make you you know you got to corral the juice yeah yeah absolutely you can channel it properly it definitely

having too much juice and then you think about other things and then if you don't line up all of your kicking points at the same time then you're going to pull it with a little bit more juice if your legs firing faster than the rest of your body um but yeah too much juice definitely an issue uh but i think i've got gotten used to that that feeling and been able to channel it just a little bit more controlled i guess you're ready for uh what are batteries eggs what are we throwing Yeah, are the Philly fans what they all say? Are they terrible? I love the energy they bring to the games.

They're definitely trash talking me while I'm kicking into the net. Any player that stands up or is kind of doing anything on the sideline that's not just sitting there. Even if you're just sitting there sometimes they're talking trash. I've never had anything thrown at me, though, so hopefully it stays that way. I just remember the bus. I used to hear the bus on the way in that they would get egged or there'd be like mooning you five-year-old's giving you the finger well i go in on the early bus there you go

which is like mostly coaching staff and not a lot of those those rottie fans are still maybe drinking to get to that point um so uh our bus doesn't get we get middle fingers and booze and all that as we're we're driving and it's one of the cooler drive-ups um to any stadium i've ever seen the fans really do care and they really do want to make you feel unwelcome but at the same time as a As an athlete, just that energy kind of makes to get ready for the game. So it kind of might make more timid people or people that aren't used to it a little more nervous. But I think it just pumps up both sides. Just the energy is energy.

Let's go. So we did a, so we got a Brandon Aubrey show for year two. Brought to you by Community Mechanical. We can give them some love real quick. What your experience with them? Oh yeah, basically had an AC unit stop blowing gold air and had the people I was currently signed up with for the ongoing maintenance came out and took a look at it and said I needed a whole new unit and it was going to be in the tens of thousands. I can't remember the exact number. But I thought like, oh my gosh, it's a lot of money.

So I knew you guys had community mechanical. I asked you for their number. they came out, took a look at it, and it was a condenser for the cheap, one of the C-words. I'm not a big handy guy, so it was one of those, you know, there's a compression and a condenser. Whichever one is cheaper was the one that was broken. It was like 100 bucks to fix it. They got it done. That day, had me up and running, and we were good to go.

So I really appreciative for those guys. And now you're preventative maintenance is with community mechanical. There you go. Because you know they'll come out. We'll see you straight. That's right. They'll kick it right through the uprights. What's the number and stuff?

There's community dfw.com. What's the number? 469-667772-90. Yeah, you can text that too. You can text that too. That's right. Be an all-pro. So we got that show this year.

We got a sponsor, and what else do we have this year that's different? We are going to have a theme song to lead you off. every week. And behind your back here for the past couple weeks, we had a Brandon Aubrey Show theme song contest. All right. We had over 20 entries for. We listened to them all.

We voted. We paired it down to a final. And then because we don't want to just do it over and over and again off the air, we did it again off the air or on the air. We did it again with our three finalists. we voted and we came up with the winner for the Brandon Aubrey Show theme song and I'd like to play you the finalist at least okay all right and let you say what you will so first of all I have two honorable mentions okay this one we all really

loved but it's three minutes long so we knew we couldn't do it should we tell it yeah we need it is important to note it needs to be like to all the three of us four of us talking 15 seconds in. Like, let's get to it. It can't have... Let's get to the Brandon Aubrey show. All right, here's... Can you hear this?

Yeah, I can hear it. This one's funny. But... His leg is not the same. It's very 70s, like... John Dick, Bert. John Denton, the Carpenters. You ever hear of the Carpenters?

We'll let it get to the hook, which I think takes seven or eight minutes. Which I think takes seven or eight minutes. His nonchalant personally makes it seem like he has no care. And Aubrey was his name All right, we enjoyed that one, but it's much too long. It didn't fit the parameters, and it really doesn't really bring the juice. It's a little slower, right? It's a field goal.

Like, it's so, like... No, I cry when I listen to that song, generally. But that is honorable mention. Honorable mention, number one. We have honorable mention number two. This one amused us. We just couldn't see us playing it every week. um well i'll let you just listen to this one

drum the pitch to the gridiron he's number one you know 60 plus is nothing it's a brandon hubby show na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na brandon obri show No, na, na, na, na, na, na, nah, nah, nah, nah, get sick. No, no, nah, nah, not, nah, Brandon Aubrey's show. Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na. I hope the guy's still alive. Okay, so.

You can kind of hear a TV in the background and what sounds like a nursing home. So shout out to the senior. No, I mean, the guy obviously is listening to the show and is a big fan of yours and he just wants to contribute. Yeah, that was awesome. All right. Honorable mention, though. That's great.

Now we go to the top three. This was number three on the countdown. Now it's the time that we tune in and listen to Dan's best texting friend. He's the man that kicks the football bar. He's the Dallas Cowboys biggest star. A little bit of a surf vibe here. Gets right to it. I think I lost it there.

I could barely hear just, I can only hear words. And they're kind of coming in and out on that one. They're about you, rest of the shirt. I love it. You would, yeah, you would have thought it was great. Yeah. Here is our runner-up And we did these all

Like some of these people That sent things in Like we know them But I just for anybody who was in the contest None of the guys except me Knew who these people were When the voting happened This is actually true

Yeah so Oh brave Oh brave Kick that ball all day Oh brave Oh brave Leg day every day Yeah, I can't hear it.

Oh, you can't hear it at all? No, it's not a T.C. It's an internet thing. Could you hear that? No, I think it's the hotel Wi-Fi is just struggling. But you heard the first one, right? Yeah, just sort of cutting it out. I heard the first one, I heard the second one was the clearest.

Okay. Thank God. Yeah, yeah, because there's no other music going on. That's the thing is it's going to just do the lyrics sometimes. Well, I'd like to hear the winner. Yeah, that's tough. But if you can't, I want everybody else to hear the winner. And you might not hear it for 30 seconds.

But this is the winner. This will be our Brandon Aubrey Show theme song this year. And I'm sorry that Brandon. and can't comment on it right now because he might hate it. Our man is kicking hauling bombs with his foot down on the gas. Homie kick it off the turf.

Papa kick it off the grass. Community mechanical make old air blow a baby, baby buckle up. It's the Brandon Aubrey Show. This kind of gets to it, right? Yeah. You talk over it right here. All right, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Here he is your hero.

All right, he broke the record this week. Brandon Aubrey, yes. Brought to you by Community Mechanical. We promise it's awesome. We'll text you or Dan Wilson's. He has your number. I just heard Brandon Aubrey, Brandon, Brandon, Brandon, Brandon Aubrey.

That was pretty much telling you that part. Yeah. The only thing I liked about the other one is it that you couldn't hear is it does have a chorus where a rap song chorus where a guy is just chanting, Aubrey, Aubrey, leg day every day. And that's what I imagine it is for you, you know? Yeah, it's always like day. Is your right leg considerably bigger? I feel like you need that shirt.

Like you need one of these cool brands. Like, Dak has like the offensive lineman hat that's dope as hell. You need a shirt that just says leg day every day. Sure. That sounds like you're really into it. Do you make those? No, I don't make anything. Let's see here.

Oh, one more thing. Did you want to chime in, Clayton? I have a kid question before we go. Well, Brandon had signed. We still haven't gotten it framed. We're working on it. But Brandon was nice enough to give us a signed Brandon Aubrey, Jersey. And you put a little message on there.

And I believe your message was less fast food talk. yeah uh and clinton took that personally it's just not for for me i'm trying to be funny part of like your email so there's a little tag in there but uh if if it's not for me it could be for someone else so you guys have a wide very diverse audience yeah i wouldn't cut it all all together no and i wouldn't uh i wouldn't say that we should be making our uh what foods do we talk about based on an NFL player's diet. I think we're more... We need to know when there's a pretzel bun at Chick-fil-A.

He doesn't. You know? Just on the kid thing, you brought up, like, you know, now, like, they'll come to games. Do you do any sort of... I don't, like, know you that well personally or whatever, but do you do any sort of, like, you know, documenting what all this is like for you? Like, I don't want to say journaling. I guess it's on TV, but things, like, that you could share with them.

about what this is all like like i just think you you're in such you're in the NFL dude like you're going to be able to sit down and tell your kids about 10 years 12 years of being in an NFL locker rooms and i just i wonder how somebody preserves that story it's not something you dreamed about your whole life you know it just kind of yeah was a thing yeah that's a great point i don't journal like that um i don't really have anything written down i mean i a letter for his first birthday but that was more just like a wish i could be there because i'm not around um in oxnard but i probably should start something like that's actually a really good idea i'm not super thoughtful with stuff like that so it i need some poke me in the butt

with ideas like that's a good one that's a good one we like our show's not like really good but if we if we take every single thought we have over 24 hours and condense it down to two it might be okay so voice memo is on all day for me so you know if you're thinking you're on the road you're like headed into the link and you're like i'd like to tell my kid about this one day hit a little voice memo i did get some uh those ray band glasses that have AI in them and i did some record you can record as you as you walk around so maybe they need to actually use those because they were a gift from from agency i just kind of wear them like sunglasses but maybe i do need to just kind of like a video blog like that.

It's awesome how the world works where just like guys who make enough money to need an agent to go get it for them, they're like, why don't you take some free shit too? It is the truth though. Like, yeah, we've been fortunate in that regard. Are they awesome? They've got to be. Are you scared?

Yeah, they're cool. I'd say one piece of feedback for them if they're listening. The little, is they charge on the nose port right here? and if you wear them for too long, it kind of just like shreds my skin a little bit right there. So it's uncomfortable to wear them for a long period of time.

So I would say that change number one for me. That feels like for some reason, any wearable, it feels like the first model. Like, did you guys not put this on? Yeah. It doesn't, it hurts. Yeah. So, like, I wore it for the beach day that we had out in California for probably

like four hours you probably got to go but tell me a little about beach day we never heard about beach day oh beach is private family event hosted by your own so he wanted us to all have a day where we could have our families out at a beach have some some fun and get to know each other and where it be a safe environment but also a pretty cool environment so um anybody that was out an Oxnard that was a family member from the Cowboys, good, you know, come hang out and get some good food and some good time. It was just a lot of fun. You look like a fellow SBF 80 guy?

Yeah, Jen wants me to be, I don't put sunscreen on other than if I'm going to be out on the beach for like four hours, I'll throw it on my nose and like my cheeks and my ears, but in the back of my neck. but they're trying to tell us to do it every day now yeah i avoid it i don't want to put it on unless i have to and i'll try to use the all natural stuff that doesn't have all those chemicals and i'm more worried about the chemicals than the sun dan uh dan's so pressed about it he started taking sunscreen pills that he thinks that can't be good for you that can't be good my dermatologist said they're all right yeah i got a sunscreen pill what kind of kick back Or I just drink, sometimes I just drink the copper toner.

Have you had your, like, immunologist or your, like, all the other parts of your body? Like, I'm sure it's great for your skin, takes care of your skin, but, like, what's it doing to the other systems in your body? Yeah, I throw up every night, but it's, is that bad? But my skin looks great. Yeah, I mean, fantastic. Never better. Well, it's great to talk to you, man, and this is cool. Probably won't get that record tonight, though.

We want that record, 70? Yeah, that'd be great. There's only one record. Still is 66. Only one record I care about. It's one and O. It's the win, the dub. Yes.

1 and 0. Okay. You and me both. All right. What if you interrupted Shottie when he's doing his pregame speech? I got this. Oh, man. It couldn't be a worse person to try and take over a pregame speech than me.

I'd bore everyone to tears. You just do the meet the parents' prayer? For me, it's just one, two, three, cowboys. Let's get out of here if I have to break it down. And you're a captain, so that may come up. Are you a captain? I am a captain. So you go out there for the coin flip?

What are we doing if we win the coin flip tonight? I can't say. I can't say. Do you know? I do know, but I won't tell you guys until you can find out with the rest of the world. Sorry. All right. It's very disappointing.

very mean very mean uh you know we we're the media we have to ask the tough questions like that yeah yeah we have a duty to get to the bottom and then we rip you when you avoid us look at him look at this guy what are they hiding why don't you block out the noise or something i don't know whatever you're supposed to do do that sounds good appreciate you guys thanks man tell blake we said hi good luck all right take care that is the great brandon abry man i think um this feels like a closing song oh brave hey oh brave kick that ball all day yeah that's that's fun i i've heard other athletes talk about this before but the uh the wait around in the hotel room day of the game that's got to be just i think i can uh relate i'll be relating

tomorrow i was going to say when we're doing a remote at like four o'clock What's up with that? Lone Star Beers having us out there. Well, what's up with that is we'll be where you, we'll do the show whenever you want. You being the sponsor. Sorry. That's correct.

Nomad Grills and Bishop Arts. That's right. It's in partnership with Lone Star and Zavallis Barbecue. Rivian. They will have a watch party for Texas, or excuse me, for uh rangers astros tomorrow night at seven we'll start at four 607 north clinton avenue avenue but look it up on your phone snow mad grills and bishoparts there'll be food there'll be beer they'll be dumb zone lone star beer will be here tonight as well oh no

the fridge is fully fully stocked the guests are really overguested um we have late additions of people that begged in and uh if you're a certain level of celebrity you can get in but you are told you might be sitting back there with clayton bill let you do it so everybody knows if you're a star if you're a star we will definitely let you do it what's the food sitch what i need to prepare for oh tonight now eatsies bro okay eatsies is our uh our lead off every year okay so thanks to uh eatsie's mark and a bakery for hooking us up tonight Let us do some viewer mail on a Thursday. Oh, yeah, wait a minute, Uncle Hotmail.

Hey, yeah, yeah, Uncle Hotmail, look at me. I wouldn't mind plugging Fairlease.org on this one. They're the sponsor of today's viewer mail, Fairlease.org, where you don't have to drive to a dealership and then another dealership and then go compare that with another dealership. You do it all online. Where are you right now? Now, if you're at a dealership, well, then you can do it on your phone at a dealer.

I actually think that's a funny idea. Here, go to a car dealership and lease your next vehicle at Fairlease.org from their Wi-Fi in their waiting room. Go log on and then have them, Fair lease, deliver that vehicle to that dealership just to flex on them. They'll do that. Wow. At Fairlease.org. What a great deal you're going to get.

An upside-down loan, your lease is all backwards. They can help you out with that. They've helped out several DumbZone listeners who are with other leasing companies get out of bad leases, upside down leases. Sell your car, get paid fast. It all starts at Fairlease.org. Click, request a quote and select DumbZone. How did you hear about us? I'll do it.

Stop yelling at me. I know you, oh. It's these others that I worry about. I got a lot of emails on Picks payoffs. Should I save that for Picks? Yeah. I think that works. one guy wants the losing team to film a gay porn

boy yeah we oh he says just holding the cameras you don't have to actually be in the porn like you have to be the guy filming well how are we going to find that you could find that I mean I don't know I bet there's not that much porno being filmed in DFW but probably not none I feel like I've seen

I was watching a video and I saw at the window the skyline I was like that's the hell you You do the latehont decafriot mean? Oh, I got a Darian emailed about Micah. He has a dilemma. He said, I'm following up on a previous email concerning a co-worker's dog whose name is Micah Pawsons. It's tough. What do you do with the dog?

Put it down? Trade with someone in Green Bay who has a Kenny Clark dog. I liked it. I don't know. I don't think anybody has a Kenny Clark dog, though. But I don't know. Three-time All-Pro. Okay, anyway, that's from Darien.

Oh, let's see. Here I got one kind of aimed at Jake. You like these? Yes. The subject line is, why Hillary lost submission? Because you brought up things over the years of... Yeah, and I do want to be clear. Blake won't let this die.

He's like, but yes, I, it is, it's, I'll own it. F it. I own it. It's my bit. I know he's your boy, Jake. But guys like, oh, maybe he's saying Jorts. Guys like George. Yeah, I know. I read the email and replied to the guy, like kind of a thoughtful, like, yeah, you know, but I didn't think this. So, yeah, it's not about me. Okay. He said, I know he's your boy, Jake, but guys like George calling Dave Portno and

I'm Big Noon, Fox, Gross, and how it's disgusting that he's a thought leader is why Hillary lost. It's a pretty gay thing to say, L.O.L. Whether you like Dave's bid or not, I don't. He's an entertainer, build a huge media company. At least he speaks his mind freely, a core dumb zone value, versus other AI-generated personalities such as Herb Street, etc. Anyway, I'll hang up and listen. Day 1, Charlie. So all they got to do is speak their mind. Doesn't matter what's in the mind. that's the only qualification I think his real point though

was being upset that Dave Portnoy is a thought leader so I don't know yeah I replied to the guy I felt like George's points were well made all right counterpoint there

what do you say to that Charlie day one I'm trying to find Clay do you have the Waterburger video Okay So This This is something from our stream last week

We got a God bless it I can't find this email I got it Specific one Yeah go for it Is it the Collated of the copies around the office

I'm sure It's the one video sent to us Right? Sure Had a great time At the Occupy Waterburger event In Grand Prairie today I enjoyed meeting TC

and getting a fresh new car tray presented to me graduation style that was the funniest bit just handing it to everyone like you're a principal like tc's so proud of you for showing up today i would tell them hey thanks hey proud of you and then you get a picture with them and shake his hand what are we doing with all those pictures stupid we have a collage okay if you have any ideas we got the pictures we do wouldn't you rather have them now the question is what are we doing with them

Limitless. What I do have, when I cleaned out the den, I found like an old Christmas gift, which was a, you know, the video frame that gives a rotating. I'll load them on. Want to do that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just having it here? Yeah, just every couple seconds, a new one pops up.

Yeah. That's a great idea. All right, that will be done by tonight's game. Anyway, so this is a guy named D.F. Webb. He said, I got back. back to the office and turned on the stream just in time for the break. Then, as the camera turned, I was absolutely

memorized, mesmerized, excuse me. Get it right. I was absolutely mesmerized watching T.C. Eat. I could not look away. And it's funnier, too, because on the stream. Here is the video. We are actually on YouTube

today, so if you want to go... It's not, it's really not that unique. It's unfair. It's just It's so bad. This is like... If you had a picture of any of us, just eating. And especially, it's like he's been working for a couple hours,

waiting on the calories from Waterburger. And it's funnier, too, because this... John's in for Aubrey's song is playing. That third bite was very big. Obviously, just Devereign likes it better if it's a fat person eating. That's a... Okay, that's Clayton. If I was 150 pounds, this wouldn't be notable.

What if it was a lady? What if it was sandwich cam? You're right, lady of any way, also interesting. Yeah. Did you hear somebody from Waterburger T.C. yesterday? Oh, you were here yesterday. The guy who was like, they over there talking FBG murder. That guy pops up from the back.

Now, I feel like there's been times in the past where Fudy CK will help me out, give me a heads up. Hey, you're on camera. Don't do anything weird. He pointed it right at you. Yeah, no, he's just zoomed in. It's almost like he did that on purpose. Can I do a quick. Can I do a quick sports one?

Of course. This is from our friend Pedro of Pedro and Anna Kay. He'll send you a sports email, and I know we're not outside of Dumbzone Day at the ballpark next week. We're not, like, and tomorrow dialed in on the Rangers. But actually, I'm glad we're doing. I want to bring this up, YTCs here today. So they're going to finish the year probably, I don't know, a couple games above 500. they're the weirdest team i think i've ever watched they've obviously had injuries but also just

super inconsistent like nothing about them makes sense you can't look at their run differential because i feel like this is one of the few times where it's super misleading because they have some insane blowouts in there um the losses they've had have all been like eighth ninth inning with a mix of randomness and just shitty performance but we're about to wrap up year two of Wyatt Langford's career like this guy was drafted in 2023 and he's going to finish this season at like two years like at eight war as a position player like that hasn't happened in a very long time and I'm you know Jack Leiter on the flip side has good rankings among the rookies and the more you watch him it does seem like it's getting better and better and better

and you just put it don't think of him as like why is he not here yet but a normal trajectory. Maybe he's solid, like really solid, but Wyatt Lankford is doing what you thought he would do when you picked him fourth overall, which is he scans to be like a top 10 in MVP voting every year type guy. And there wasn't much developing to do with him since they picked him fourth overall, but as far as Rangers developed, premier hitters, what's the last one? That's what I'm saying. Elvis is not a premier hitter. He's a premier position player, but he's I don't know, it's been a while that you'd hear about guys for you

Nomar is going to be, he's going to change the game or on down the line, Jorge Alfaro was supposed to be, yeah, I mean, you have to go back that far. Name another one since then. And I know this is something you've been on forever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And quietly, like I think

maybe if the Rangers had five more wins right now and we're, and that very easily could have happened and been right there first or a couple games ahead. I think Wyatt Langford would be a bigger deal right now. He's a 24-year-old or 23-year-old who is, he is what they thought he was. And so, yeah, Pedro's, Pedro was just like pointing out, in context here, it's not going horribly. It just sucks because a baseball season is so long, and you just feel like, well, all right, well, I guess next year. How many games? We'll do that again. Right now. How many games have I what? This morning, it was a topic of

conversation, how many games are left? What do you think the number is for how many games this season remaining? I don't know, 30. 22. I was shocked by 22. That it's only 22? No, I thought there'd be like three more.

We've been playing baseball for forever. No, this is kind of dance point, too, is everybody, it's been about a month now if it's over for the Rangers, it's over for the Rangers, it's over for the Rangers, and now everyone's like, you know, they're a game and a half back. Of the one-game wildcard game, though? Is that what you looking at? No. Are we still doing one game?

No. One game. It's a three game. I thought there was a one game to get into the three game. No? I don't. Has that never been the case? No, that used to be the case.

It used to be the case, but I think the last time they expanded, it's now. There's no single use. So that's why I keep saying the best, the first series, whoever finishes second in the AOS is going to play the Astros, the lowest, I think. The lowest-seeded division winner plays the highest-seeded wildcard. Okay, this is how you can get a fraudulent World Series winner like the Rangers a couple years ago. Oh, my God. Oh, no, they were the best team in baseball that year.

Not during viewer mail, dude. Who was better? The Dodgers. Probably the Dodgers. Probably the Giants, if I remember. Was that a good year for them? Is that Gabe's year? I remember there was a year that both those teams had like 103 wins.

Yeah, the Rangers had. like 40. No. No. The Giants were 79 wins that year. Dodgers did win 100 games. The Braves had 104. The Braves had 104.

Baltimore 101. And then all got taken out by 84. What are we doing? Are we going to debate the model of how championships are determined now retrospectively? It's not retrospectively. I'm always been against expansion of playoffs too much. I know. But if I, hey, the Cowboys.

And especially in a game that has 162 games in a season. You're going to get no argument for me. If you're going to turn the playoff series into three-game, first of all that, three-game series to move on, that's ridiculous. I like... They should do something sensible, like five. For baseball, I think the soccer model would work better in baseball than anything. Just play a balanced schedule, play 162 games. Whoever has the most wins at the end, that's the change.

I promise you, too, because I... Which they used to do, right? Yeah. In 19... Well, before 1969, I guess. You got a little bit of this when they expanded the playoff, but in MLB, like when I would tap in on European soccer on the last day of the season, it's awesome. And that part of that is because of promotion. Sometimes it's not.

And relegation, yeah, there are some thuds. But if all the games start at the same time, Dan, you know, it's a bit of a paloosa. Like you remember that one year where there was like five relevant games to who got in the playoffs? They were all being played at the same time. It was awesome. If it was that but for the title, it would be pretty cool. But that would be one day and not four weeks Yeah, Fox isn't shelling out what they pay for the playoffs

What's up with money in sports? Yeah I don't know if you have any gummy thoughts But that's usually where we throw them in viewer mail And that is always brought to us by Early Bird CBD And they have a big announcement right now New promo code So we've had, this is our third new promo code, and what they're doing is trying to help you keep the savings going.

It'll get you 20% off. We'll have more on this in the news as we have some new rules. But Early Bird CBD will be there for you. That's the website.

Earlybird CBD.com. DumbZone 20 is the promo code. Put a smile on your face with Early Bird CBD. Do you have that picture I sent you, Clayton? I do. Okay. This headline, or subject line, Shottie Hoops. Says, hi, Dan.

I took a tour of the star this week, and that work thing, not by choice. I thought you'd laugh at the new basketball goal they installed in the team film room. So they put up a hoop in there. They put it in while they're in California. The tour guide said that's how Shottie has the team workout arguments. There were four to five balls up in the front of the room. They also have plastered shoddyisms all over the facility.

That's faith family football, is it? I couldn't take picks because I think she sniffed out that I was amused. Also, they broke the wall the first day the team was back because someone dunked on it and it's not a breakaway goal. Hell yeah. Dude, that's the boys being boys. right there i love it just somebody walks in and is like i'm going to hammer that i mean i would have put that on micah let me grab yeah i would have put that on micha

george pickens feels like a candidate maybe brandon maybe brandon maybe brandon just jump brings a kea in there and jumps over it uh let's see here is anything we have to get to i did get uh i'll keep going on cowboy emails for you uh Nick. No, you won't. You bet your buns I will if you challenge me. All right. This also gets to something T.C.'s brought up a lot, which is the, you can't have these

cap hits. You can't have Micah, CD, and DAC these cap hits, which is true. But if we're just trying to set the narrative here for how this is going to be discussed, they don't have to have those cap hits. Like, for example, Micah's cap hit right now, 25, 26, 27 is 9.8. 19.9 and 27 million in Green Bay. So, by the time his cap it... You said 9.8 is the first year?

Yeah. Okay. That's still rookie, though, right? Yeah. Fifth year, yeah. There's like some aggregate. The fifth year option is 20, but if you do it the deal this way, 9.8, 19.9, 27 million. By the time his cap, it explodes to 65 million in 2028, the NFL will have gone up about $92 million from now.

Obviously that's not like a one to one, but it's just his point and in brings this up a lot is that it doesn't feel like the Cowboys at a very basic level operate as a percent of the salary cap projecting out in years. You know, like they know it's going to go up, but it seems sometimes they're like, well, how do you know it's going to go up? It does. It goes up. It feels like that's a function of the GM and the owner being the same. That's a great point. Yes, that's too close to the business part of it because Howie Roseman, yeah, he knows. He's just thinking these are dollars leaving my account.

Yeah, Howard Rosen's like, we owe A.J. Brown, $42 million in 2028, but let's see if we can figure it out before then. I just care if he can play football and if we can build a team after that. And so he says, if the Cowboys would have worked this same deal with Micah, the combo of Dak, CD, and Micah would have only counted for 27% of the cap this year. And that's with Dak being at 60 million. I'm like, I heard Machota talking about this, too, on the one-star podcast. It's easy to blame this on Dak because he's making 60 million, but like if he had signed at 54, are they keeping Micah? Is that the, that's what we're led to believe, is that, I mean, you pay a guy $60 million,

it's $5 or $6 million a year at a $2.00, whatever, $80 million cap. It feels like if they had infinite cap space, Jerry would have gotten in a pissing match and traded him away. There you go. Yeah. Thank you, Nick. And thank you, T.C. Thank you T-speed. Didn't we have one more from Nick?

Oh, it was about winning the lottery, basically. Yeah. T.C.'s thought that every number might be the same. Yeah, that was great. He did say that if indeed you could just have every number, that would make the number. that would make the odds of winning the fake TC lottery one in 27 billion. Who would even play?

He said since the average length between Powerball Big Winners is three months now, if you were to change the odds, the average period between winners, if you have about the same amount of players and tickets purchased, would be 23 years. It'd be a big deal

Every 23 years When it lands on all threes And you're winning is just the global GDP There would be three winners In the average person's lifetime I'd play They would get to be king Of the globe

Every 23 years That'd be great That's good viewer mail, dude Hey, thanks man I don't have a close though That's all right a little sponsor to give a little love to before we take a little break

and then we'll do some picks with the sorrows. Why don't I tell you about my... Ooh, because I've actually been using this stuff. Mendo. Mendo is MINSCare products. It's well established on this show that I'm the sweaty boy. Thought losing some pounds. Thought cleaning up my lifestyle

would change that. It has not. So we're now using Mando deodorants. I'm not as concerned about how deodorant smells. I'm concerned if it keeps me dry. And I've put the Mando deodorant on like the 36-72-hour test. It's working. Shop Mando.com.

S-H-O-P-M-A-N-D-O.com. Use promo code Dumbzone. You'll get 20% off. It's not just the deodorant. But if you are like Blake or his wife who's making you use glass instead of plastic, it's important to note these products are all baking soda-free, paraben-free. This is one of the things that people are afraid of. This is, it doesn't have any of that stuff in it.

And usually, when it doesn't have any of that stuff in it, it sucks, and it doesn't work. And it doesn't keep me from sweating. This one absolutely does. I'm making a full-time change here. Shopmando.com. Dumbzone will get you 20% off. Body wash, deodorant wipes. Give yourself a little wipe, little ball wipe on the run, Dan.

That's available for you at shopmando.com, as is the promo. Code Dumbzone. You're listening to the Dumbza. Do you want a new rejoined song to? Is part of the reboot? Well, I know that our situation is that we cannot use copy-written music. Right.

So the situation it puts you in is, do you want to do a different song nobody's ever heard of every day? Or do you just kind of want to stick with one? And I think I'd rather stick with one. Now, it could be a different one, like every year or something, but I don't know that I want to open up the floodgates there.

Play the No Puppet. It feels good. I've been phasing that out. No puppet. I'm going to eat an eighth of mushrooms tonight and phase it back in in the fourth quarter when the Cowboys are up 21-3. I love the spirit of optimism that's pervaded the show. Well, then you need to be here for our stream tonight at seven, because as long as this thing isn't out of hand by two scores at halftime, I'm as geeked as I've ever been on my wife. I feel like this now from Philadelphia, Blake.

Blake, Blake, Blake, Blake, Blake, Blake. Dan is so afraid of Jake's pass that he won't even play the no-pubble drop anymore. I know, dude. It's this soft Dan, you know? He quit drinking and now he's... I moved the fridge away from him. He's just so protective of his little buddy now that we can't even play a drop. Look at that beautiful city, baby.

I love this guy. I love this, Jake. He's a Kensington half. He's an ass kicker, man. You looking to score a bag, Blake? shout out is gilly the kid there so i thought i'd come to like a neat place to do this uh segment and i thought independence hall might be good the liberty bell would be cool i just passed the betsy ross house bad bitch but i i chose the place i think with the most proud

american moment and so i'm going to put my camera around jake do you Do you notice this spot where I'm at at all? Is it from the parade? No. So as I am broadcasting live from the final burial place of the hitch butt. Hell yeah. The hitchhiking robot from Australia that some researchers to try to demonstrate friendliness, they had it hitchhike across Canada, which it did so successfully.

And then they brought the idea of the United States, and I think it made it from New York to Philly, where they beat the shit out of it, decapitated it, like a homeless guy beat it up real bad. And then they just found it in pieces. They just do it in the trash. This Canadian company thought they would build a hitchhiking robot. There you go. And it hitchhiked across Canada. Some places in Germany, and they thought, well, let's set it loose in Boston and see if they can make it to San Francisco. And when it got to this place here, Second Street in Philadelphia, it was decapitated and placed in this little corner over here.

How did you find that location? That's incredible. It took some detective work and a lot of scouring Reddit and eyewitness accounts. And I'm pretty sure it is the Benches of Second Avenue next to Alfred Sally. That's the bench. Yeah, I recognize it. This is his leprecha. This is his epicron. It's fun, isn't it?

I found it. Yeah. It's amazing. I can feel the history here. And, yeah, no robots allow. Not with that kind stuff. We don't like you as kind around here. You're pussy.

So, yeah, just a, I don't know, 30-minute walk or so to see history. I thought it was worth it. So how's the Cowboys team flight? Brandon said he didn't see you on the plane. Yeah, the common folk don't get. to sit up front with the all-pros. But I text to you guys this. It's amazing.

I've never seen a plane like that where the first class has like a bench to work at and a bed to lay on. Business class has all spread out seats. There's no middle seat. And then the back two sections are just really roomy. I mean, I guess it's what an international flight is, which I've never been on. But it was amazing. I had a steak.

I bet you did, bud. It's, I mean, it's a lot like the Star's flight, but there's not as many people on that. I mean, this plane is massive. So, because you had talked to me previous to this, and you said you've been on the Cowboys Charter before, and it's not that great. No, this was different. So when TCU made the National Championship game, they only had a week or two to make plans, and I don't think they expected to beat Michigan. So it was all kind of rushed, and we had heard that we got the Cowboys Charter,

but I think we just left from the Cowboys Charter location. This was not the plane we flew on. This was something else. I've been on the plane. I think that you... I think they probably got a new plane. Yeah, I think so, too. The one that you're describing is not what I was on.

Same. This, like, you could load from the front and back, and it was just the night... It's insane. I can't believe we fly like that. Did they change the flight attendants? I don't think so. I think you've got to turn your way up.

the Cowboys Charter flight attendants. Yeah, it was, it felt very, uh, madam when I went. You know, there was like some 55-year-old women that were just like, clearly ruling the roost. A Philadelphia, TMZ tour bus just drove by. I don't hear anything about the bitch pot. They show you where that guy ate, that guy ate the horse poop. One of the flight attendants protected me whenever Roosevelt tried to tell me that I couldn't hang my jacket in the place where you hang your jacket. All right, be Rosie.

Really? And then I said, hey, bud, your days are numbered anyways. He's not dead, is he? No, no, he's not dead. They got rid of him? Oh, yeah. He was scalping tickets. Yeah, he was selling tickets outside, like Jerry was back in the day.

He was scalping his own. And then he got, like he was getting Cowboys tickets and selling them. They found out about it, and they said, yeah, yeah, you should just give them away to somebody. not if they're not paying you enough to bury all these bodies yeah what was he making I don't know that's why it's weird to me he could get fired wasn't he like Jerry's right-hand man driver

yeah yeah you would think and boy he seemed to think he had some authority when he was trying telling me not to hang my jacket there let it go well it is like TC he did like oh I should I should be doing this thing that I see the players I could I was I was holding my jacket real weird and he's like why didn't you leave it at the front Do we have our guests?

No, not yet. TC's right. Has they been sent? Authority on that plane. Can I ask everybody? Has our guests been sent links? Let's double check. Oh, you sent?

Okay. Is that supposed to? I will. Well, one of the people that aren't... That's my bad. Dan or Jake usually would end up doing it. Okay. So we can go back to just hyping up the Cowboys

if you want, man. No, I'm interested in Blake's first road trip with the Cowboys. So I made our drop. I heard about the special teams room was very pleased with pouch drop. Lucy.com slash dumbzone. So I texted Brandon that, you know, I've got stuff with a bear want it. And he said, yeah, sure, come down to the meeting room and I'll grab it. well, I got down to the meeting floor and was stopped immediately.

He said, who are you? What are you doing here? And, I mean, I didn't want to out. I don't know. I just said, I have something for Brandon. And so they're like, no, you need to leave. And so I got sent to the lobby and I had to tell Brandon to meet me in the lobby. They'll figure it out eventually. Yeah, I don't know I'm the plug at some point. By mid-season, Mr. Jones.

Yeah, but yeah, Brandon and Bangor. What is that, Apple Ice? Come on in here with those 12 milligrams. Do you stay in a hotel that's as nice as the Stars ones? Man, the Stars one was awesome. This is a really nice hotel, but it's a normal room. But I think, didn't we have luxury suites or something with the Stars? Yeah.

Okay, this is just a single, but it's the nicest hotel in the city. Check, check, check. One two, one, two. Hi, Danny. Oh, hey. It was like the Ritz and whatnot that, the stars would always put you in same bit though when you get to the hotel is there just a table with your key on it and then you walk right up no i think that's for the players and coaches and

stuff we had to wait a little bit at the airport to let them load in and then when we got there we had to go to the front desk and get our heartbeat were there fans everywhere at the hotel not really okay not really but i it was surprising to me that while i was waiting to get my key some cowboys just like left to walk around downtown and i i don't expect them to just be a prisoner in their own room but i you would imagine maybe the quarterback is pretty recognizing girl dac just left yeah he just left and i i would assume me he had a car and they were going somewhere but i don't know i think if i was saying i'd be weirded out by walking around downtown philadelphia the day before the game i heard he was going to volunteer at a local someplace in

there in Philadelphia. It's what he does. Yeah, I'm sure that's what him and Wilgreer were doing. Yeah, he killed my dream. They were partying. Wilgris, no. How are we looking? Maybe they went to K&A.

I think Danny and Cash are in. Hey, we're waiting on one. While we wait on one, can we mention Hello Fresh? We can. Hello Fresh is a sponsor. Hello Fresh is a sponsor. It is. meal prep meal kits and these are these are the best ones i've ever had we've done the pre-made before

I kind of messed up I told you so just like the Stars Charter there is a menu when you sit in your seat first of all you go through and if you get screened there's a sandwich ready for you if you want it oh a little reward

you get on the plane and then there's a bag of snacks waiting on you, chips, a little cheese and fruit tray, everything. You get offered a drink as soon as you sit down, and then as soon as you get to the altitude, you get a grilled chicken meal or a filet meal. Like, I don't know how I'm going to not balloon up on these trips. Steps. Because I'm not going to turn down free food.

Well, because they're going to offer to you after the game, too, right? Yeah, and I can't do that. Come on. There's no way. I can't eat a full meal at 2 a.m. 2,000 calories at 2 a.m. Yeah. So when are you getting back to, are you going to be at the show tomorrow?

Yeah, we're going to, I'm going to get home at about 5 a.m. All right. Well, we do have an afternoon show. 4 p.m. Nomad Grill. Can you make it? Yeah. Yeah, I'll be there. I've also got to set up for the Argyll game at noon, and then I'll be at no-mo.

She, grind, ding. Landing at 5. Argyle at noon Nomad Grill at 4 Back to O'Nale Tonight's game I guess I never really thought about this But that sucks

On the East Coast it starts at 820 Yeah The East Coast time zone sucks They're used to it though We complain about it for them But you don't hear them complaining about it as much Unless I'm wrong I feel like they're all just kind of like

No, I grew up in it. You don't know any better. I just thought that's the way it was. And then I moved here. I'm like, this is great. And then, yeah, you go out to California for a while. You're like, this is even better. No, it's not.

You wouldn't want to watch NFL football at what time? It's so good. No. 9 a.m. Now it's a paradise. Wake up 9 a.m. You're done with Sunday night football by... Is it 10 a.m?

No. There's a three-hour difference. Noon game here. There's a three-hour difference between the East Coast. But still, I still hate 10. 10's beautiful. Okay, they're all here? Well, I do have something.

This was submitted by the great Rob Schindler. So we'll see if we all like it, boys. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages. It is time to pick this week's game. In this corner, the Challenger. A little upstart podcast made up of cast off from a local sports radio station. Two of them are brothers, so nobody cares about nepotism. It's Mike, Cash, and Danny.

Here's Cirque de Soroy. And your champion. The mainstream podcast who single-handedly changed the national labor relations boards non-compete laws and successfully stuck it to the man Dan, Jake, and Blake

the dumb zone This is Dee's pigs pigs The bells in there a lot Hey guys something we're ready to pick games folks can you can you hear us are we working are we

operation indeed you sound great you sound great cool fantastic to be with you guys well you look where's blake's ass I'm where the hitchbot was murdered Blake's in Philadelphia oh really they might not know what the hitchbox spot is. Yeah, yeah. That's a... They're busy racing marbles. That was the robot.

That was a robot that was thumb across in the country. There is. Words with cash. All right. So, yes, this year we are doing picks against the Soroy's.

Did a late night falling asleep, thinking, and then I'm like, I woke up, I had to talk to Jake about it, because I was like, you know what? It's cool in theory, I guess, that we're doing teams. But as I recall the years of picks with friends. Here we go. One of the fun things is triple playing against each other.

And one of the really fun things is rooting against, like, Jake and Blake these are people that have become my rivals over the years and now if they're on my team and Jake picks the Cowboys and I want to triple play against him because that's really fun

that's a six game swing I don't know yeah and I mean these guys Mike and Cash have had some insane bets with each other they're not a they're not you know well they're way more supportive of each other than we are they shave each other's head i've seen it

got to think about that night a lot dan incredibly briefly but it wasn't a full shave sampling a new device but fact i showed you guys my new head shaver and you guys just grabbed it out of my hand and then started shaving each other's head each other's you did it's not exactly how it happens we're all balds

we're all bald you got uh these other guys don't understand what we go through. So, yeah. But anyway, that's a, that's a wrinkle in it. I like the teams thing because, like, you know, one show against the other show. So, I don't know. What are you saying?

I'm just throwing it out there. I don't know if there needs to be also, like, well, because we also don't really, we haven't landed on a punishment yet, officially. So maybe there needs to be a little something extra for the person that finishes last? I don't know, because I want to, I want to stick it to you, Jake.

You know, not lovingly. I want to stick it to you. I want it to be bad for you. I want you to fail in picks. This is what I root for. I feel better about myself when those around me are doing worse. Yeah, he's just saying he doesn't, he doesn't get the same enjoyment out of watching you guys fail. Right.

As us, I guess. But this is the, these are, this is tradeoffs. So what if the loser of the winning team has to do the punishment too? Ooh. The lowest Does the winner of the losing team get out? Or no? Maybe.

Yeah, maybe it's a swap. Those are like protections in the game to keep you from... Keep you from colluding. Yeah, and if you want to take a run at somebody, you kind of have an incentive to, like if you want to challenge Dan. Because, like I said, the payoff is kind of up in the air. We're still taking, you know, we've done picks with friends before.

and not had a payoff until week four, as long as we kind of have the parameters of all of it. But, I mean, we've talked about broadcasting for 24 hours. We may have a sponsor that is interested in that. And if a sponsor wants to jump on board, then all of us can get a little extra, a little Johnny Mansell here. And they would house our 24-hour broadcast.

I feel like if the sponsor comes through, we all we're like okay then that's our bit yeah otherwise i stand-up comedy is a looming one that certainly would be difficult for anybody who had to do that save for blake i kind of always i kind of always believed that if we committed to the 24-hour bit that somebody wouldn't step up in in a way such as what you're saying yeah i was going to say be forced to shave each other's heads but now i'm finding out that's just tuesday i accept i accept these terms if your potential partner or sponsor for this was Lou Starritt. That'd be wild.

We have listeners everywhere. Dude, you know how like, didn't Metallica go, like, film a music video in a prison? How come we can't just go do a... How come we can't just go do a show? That's probably a bad question, but I feel like... Maybe we can. I feel like

you should be able to go, like, fuck around with prisons more. Have you asked? Johnny Casta. That's, I'm paying your salary. They'll let you do anything to him. you want okay well this is good so it's fluid but if the sponsor comes through we've got some ideas here we're all here now do we need to address how we pick the games wait i got we will okay but just as far as uh other people saying different possible punishments

this guy is suggesting what if um you know the last place person gets punished uh Oh, and he said the losing team payoff could be a late-night hot tub stream, popular thing on Twitch, ask Blake. Have you ever heard of this? Am I watching hot tub streams late at night? What do you know about this, Cash? You guys are the Twitch guys, right? I've heard of and see the late-night hot tubs. There's like a big controversy on girls basically just inflating, not even a hot tub, like a little inflatable pull.

in their living room and just going bikini and tits out basically and it was just a trend so a very sexy uh shitty hot tub in your living room that you have to do a live stream that's pretty funny actually i've been in mike's chat late night trying to get him to do a hot tub stream before the other vanguard of that and i believe the twitch moved to ban it but i i once logged on to Twitch and it seemed like the wave was women sitting in clear plastic chairs with a camera under the chair. Oh my God. Dan, I think you'd

look great. Yeah, you have to do 24 hours of the show, but it's just a shot of all three of your taints through your chair. Yeah. Yeah. We'll put that one in the hopper too, I guess. That one's not getting sponsored. We have losing team has to spend the day as a homeless person.

Angelo can show you the ropes. Cash kind of does that every Tuesday and Thursday. It says either with Angelo or raw dogging. Losing team has to get tattoos. What about handcuffed to Angelo? Handcuff to Angelo for 24. Oh, my God. What about one hour?

What if we did the tattoos, Faith Family Football, and each guy had to get a different thing? Oh, no. Oh, my God, dude. Just three, four arm? and every time the three of us together get to line them all three up and pose.

What about on your shaft? Keep going. This is, oh, we're getting close. I'm going to need a face one. I haven't heard shaft in a long time. Leasing team calls Kat to apologize and beg for their job back. In a heartbeat.

I would do that in a fucking heartbeat. Losing a game. He won't answer. Films of gay porn holding the camera. not be involved in the gay porn. Losing team unironically covers the next WNBA draft. Joining a roofing crew. Shoot the gay porn, right?

You're just holding the camera, right? But then there's another camera staring at your crotch. Yeah, no, it's not a camera. We have to put like one of those. Do they have this for like when you're a kid, if you're in church and they think that you're too horny, you get caught looking at porn and they'll actually put sensors on your dick and be like are you attracted by this so like yeah you got to put you have to put little boner sensors on your penis and film a

gay porn and then for every time it goes off you have to add an hour to your 24 hours another scene a fresh scene every time you get bricked up the losing team covers taylor swift's new album in full at karaoke and finally like Danny's a real fucking musician what do we do it the time that you would have to spend learning that and finally this is from mike in north original hills losing team goes to the hab man I've been missing the hab I think you could all you'd all love it pop back in love a nice love it I wouldn't recommend going would we be allowed to bring gummies and stuff because if you want to give me a We just get up and exercise and look at the lake and stuff.

If I won the lottery, I would want to go to, like, a Malibu won for fun. Yeah, does somebody say fight? Yeah. To fight every day. Oh, man. Anyway, we did have a... All of those sound great. Let's do all of them.

All right, we'll do them all. we are picking games so the format seemed to be we got a confusing email last night like oh wait I didn't know this was uh did you know so cash siroy was not aware that the format is we will mandate you have to pick three college games that we pick three NFL games and the cowboy game and And then you have a wild card game. That's your game. And any of the games, that's eight total, any of those eight could be your triple play. So if that wild card game you feel real good about, make that your triple play.

And then it equals 10 in the end. Understood. Cash was a bit taken aback. And I just thought maybe he should have asked like, I don't know, Mike, who knew that format really well. And these guys are so close, they shave each other's head. Do you guys ever talk? Well, that's getting pinned on me, except for the fact that when we got the information from Blake last night, Danny, Mike, and myself, after our show, we're like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

So they're picking all the games? It was never, it was never denoted. Little communication. Yeah. It was just never denoted one way or the other, whether you guys were giving us the games to pick or they were open games that you could pick any. So we just didn't know for sure. But it's fine.

We read it as we pick three NFL games We pick three college games We pick the cowboy game And then a wild card of whatever the hell we want Now I could see being open to If you guys wanted to give us the slate Some weeks But the point of us all

I would like that Picking the same games And this sometimes in the past Has been an issue with some of our cohorts the point of this is not to prove we're good at gambling. The point of this is to have everyone watching the games with us. So if we're all six picking eight different. Yeah, that makes sense.

So it makes perfect sense. Like, we throw Chiefs Chargers on here because it's Friday's night. Everybody's going to be watching it. I don't really want to – most of these games, if you were really gambling to try to make money, you would not bet. Like my dad last year, every week, I'm like, shut up. I know. He's like, these are bad games. No real cappers are picking these games.

Nobody. Like, that's the point. That's the point. So that's how you end up with... Yeah. I just didn't know that. But I definitely think... We do kind of try to space out the windows a little bit,

like have something, if we can, spread out between... You don't want them all to be the 325 game. Sometimes it's not possible. So, yes, I have absolutely, let's work together on... But we just do need to have the same ones. Chapby complained about this, too. The point, yes, we don't look at these and go, you know what? I feel good about the Chiefs and Chargers.

I feel good about the – no, we're picking, like, the games of the week. Which is the games no one bets, or smart people. Yeah, so, like, Jake usually figures out the college slate, and he'll be like, well, let's first look. Are there any, you know, what, ranked teams against each other. All right, now let's look at anything local. Is that – and that's kind of why we ended up with the slate that we have this week. It's Baylor SMU. Like, no one cares about that game, well, you know, relatively, I think nationally, but now you will.

And, yes, do you think we're able to name any players in that game? What? By your effing tongue. Go on. Kevin Jennings is the quarterback of Texas. The Baylor SME. The SMU quarterback's a big deal. All right.

Well, so I should pick SMU. A good friend of ours. Because a good friend of our cousin, Sawyer Robertson, is Baylor's starting quarterback. Landry Atkinkin, Kintent, who emails a lot. Yes, I've watched both these teams play already, Dan, and so has T.C. That's true. Okay. Well, then.

He's got these guys no football. Did you know if it's football season yet or not, dude? I don't. I know it will be tonight. Get it together. As we are not only streaming the game. Now, the Cirque de Soroy program, generally on Tuesday and. Thursday evenings, live on YouTube, if you ever want to tune into that.

And also available on podcasts. I've consumed some Tuesday night podcasts on my drive up today. Tonight they will not be live on YouTube because they did their show last night because tonight they'll be here. Oh, my God. Wow. In the den. Game one.

I've already texted with them on what mixers they need. He did. We've got Eatsy's. We've got Eatsy's food for you, Mikey. All right. Mike was a part of a broadcast once when we had Adam Romo here but not food and he was very

very disappointed. I'm like I did like a triple take. I'm like downstairs? That decision, yeah. So tonight we have the food but not Adam Romo. Which apparently you would rather have that than the other.

I need one to live. Yeah. I like Adam Romo a lot. For Romo. So what we have to do on the air, which is where we are now, is we pick the cowboy game and your triple play. And generally we'll do it, what, in the order of first to worst, once we get picks going, just so you can't.

And we've got to be honorable here. Do you trust the Soroy's, first of all? Yes. I do not trust the Soros. I would say this, I would say that I don't, but I went into this eyes open. Like, everything's a tradeoff. Everything, you get pros, you get cons, you know, and I think I don't trust them as far as I can throw them. That's right.

But I also think they're the funnest, the funnest MFers this side of where I threw them. I don't know. I want them here. Yeah, I think they'll collude a little bit on us. Dude, they do magic and shit. They had a painting that no one's seen that, like. But I don't know what's going on. Like, who knows with these two plus him?

Yeah, so we'll see. If we are going to cheat, we won't until we're going to make sense. They're not going to cheat now. I agree with that. Yeah, for now, I don't even know how you would cheat right now. We just did two shows in a row. How can we plan anything else? Yeah.

We weren't tired. Two days in a row. Boy, I feel you, dude. Trust me. Jesus. So what do we got, Danny? Roll them out. Who's doing first?

I'm ready to go. I will say this, not that it matters for cheating purposes. I have no clue what they're going to pick, and I have probably changed one of the required picks for tonight. So, yeah, I mean, not the cheating's really on the table right now, but I don't even know what the hell they're going to pick. So whatever order you guys want, I'm ready. All right, Blake, let's start with you.

Blake is live in Philadelphia, folks. Look at them. Boots on the ground. Boots on the ground. Have you seen the rocky steps and statue and stuff? no i haven't do you plan on doing that no

isn't that where he got AIDS or something that was later absolutely that was Tommy Morrison go ahead oh uh no okay so game tonight I don't know dude the Cowboys always do this you always count them out this reminds me of the Tampa game a couple years ago

playing the Super Bowl champions DAC came off of an injured year he did awesome slung it around give me the Cowboys to cover Wow. Yes, the spread, I should mention, Cowboys at Eagles. Eagles, that is bumped up throughout the week. I think this started at six and a half.

Yeah. And it is now nine. It is the largest spread of the NFL weekend. They are favored by nine points. That is a tough. Then you get them garbage time touchdowns possibly. Yeah, and Shottie was walking through the aisles, just giving everybody fist bumps. So I think the team is going to be real focused tonight.

That's inside no one else is going to get. Was he really? Inside info. What do you think? Of course he was. An NFL team on opening night's going to be focused. He had his visor on, his AirPods in, and his all great sweatsuit, just fist bumps for everybody. Wait, that doesn't sound business casual.

How many things do you have in his hat? Why? I thought you said you have to dress business casual. We do. Coaches don't. Okay. That doesn't sound like a leader to me, do as I say. no in fact

Trent had a a banger and butter shirt that I need to get my hands on it was awesome anyway Cowboys to cover please for me in my triple play I think the Browns

are going to be horrible and the Bengals bounce back here give me a triple play on the Bengals to cover that five points hey we're winning guys

we're winning so far yeah I feel great right now yeah he did not pick up your Bengals bad season at early season yeah against the spread or Zach Robinson something. Yeah. All right.

Let's go here. Circa's in the lead. Let's go to Danny. So I've spent the entire NFL offseason developing a foolproof system for picking games. It's called Hell yeah. It's called Hail Mary

Metrics. I can't get into details of what sources that I've been in contact with. It's very proprietary. But I feel incredibly confident that my picks are going to contribute to Siroy, Team Soroy, absolutely dominating this ridiculous contest that you guys dreamed up.

And I'm taking Philly to cover the spread of eight points. No, nine. Nine. Whatever, because, look, I picked, I picked Philly to cover the over and under last night by themselves. which I think is 47 and a half. Dude, in the realm of possibilities, like if you were to slot them all,

like 47 to 10 is more likely than like 2814 Dallas. Because Philly has a really good defense. So good. And a solid offense. The Cowboys, we think have a really good offense. I think the Eagles could score 47 points throwing the ball 19 times.

So that. Didn't they... That could be a long night. Wasn't there some kind of a stat, like, in the last however many years, when Micah is on the field playing, the Cowboys are the number one ranked defense in the NFL. Yeah. And when he's off the field, they're like 31. I think there's a little bit of noise in the data, but it doesn't matter.

It is, yeah. I mean, you say they're going to get run all over, but now that they don't have a guy freelancing. That's right. Just some clown out there. Just trying to hunt snacks and not. We've got an all-pro plugging up the middle. And that all-pro plugging up the middle has been in training camp. Or the team that wins.

Playing every day, yeah. Yeah, he's seen winning football up close. He can tell the other guys who looks like. We got flus. Oh, anyway, back to Danny. And as I look over at my Hail Mary Metrics data chart, I'm seeing that Micah Parsons will not be on the field for the Cowboys at all this season. starting tonight

which is why this game is also my triple play oh wow okay interesting hmm wow you guys wanted to fuck let's go

wow wow I wasn't prepared for that God I hope this works out all right I'll go next um God. I was going to say,

I wonder if I should change this now just because of Danny's heavy investment in Philly, but I'm also going to take Philly for tonight, but just a single. Let's not go crazy here. Because I'm just not believing in T.C.'s bears. They opened the season. Are they a one-point underdog at home?

I thought they were the favorite. Am I wrong? One point favorite at home, so you're telling me the Vikings who won 14 games last year are an underdog against that Bears team just because we got like an offensive coordinator who's now a head coach. I mean, the Cowboys have an offensive coordinator who's now a head coach. Give me the Minnesota Vikings for my triple play on Monday night. Great pick. Minnesota favored by one and a half.

Minnesota favored by one and a half. That's a long way to change. Make it a quadruple play. Yes. We're doing it at one. We're doing it at one point. Did J.J. McCarthy throw a pass in college? Is it one point on our list?

Okay, we have a... We'll keep it that, but... Great pick, but... Hey, thanks, man. Point Blake. Up next is Cash Soroy. Hello, friends. Very quickly, I would like to also share with you

a couple of wagers I've made for the NFL season that you can play along with me. One is very fun, and the other is possibly this most boring bet ever. I made a $3 bet on a double-doin field goal going in in the regular season any time in the NFL. That $3 bet will win me $75. So everybody root for a double doink. Fantastic. Why stop the hair?

Well, I didn't. Wait, what do you win with three? 75 bucks. Okay. Put $100 down. Well, I thought I did it pretty good. But then also, I bet $40 at minus $120 to win me $33 on a stupid, not fun bet to track, there will be $325 or more coaches' challenges combined throughout the season.

That's insane behavior. Do you have something like the baseline for that? What's the average of the last few years or whatever? I don't know. It was minus 120, so it just took a favor. Okay. It's like week 16, you're like, God, Big Johnson, this guy's sneaky boy.

Challenge it. Don't challenge, don't challenge it. Don't challenge it. Can I ask where these are offers? That sounds great. Also minus 120. I guess there's no. There's a guy that's run the numbers.

Is this bovada? Yeah. So anyway, just so you guys can follow along with that. I will. Probably won't. I decided to consult this 1972 press. picture of our dad Bill Soroy with all of my picks this

year so when I make the picks they are both from myself and my picture of my dad Forsefield it'll end the same way for our team as it did for him Jesus Christ

early all right well me and meanwhile Bill have decided that pre-snap motion Javonte Williams Matt Eberfluse Oh my God

Give me them Cowboys And give me them points Yeah Let's do this That's a ball noer right there Let's do this Very excited Long touchdown out of motion

Love it We can high five tonight You just me and you No one else And we will Oh and I'm on Prescott over two 45 passing yards Jake So we'll have plenty to cheer about

That's a pretty good I like that And then for my triple play, JP, B, C, R. Gonna go hit DJ? Damn straight they are. We'll take the Miami Dolphins over the Indianapolis Colts. Hell yeah.

That's my triple play. What's the spread? It's a pick-um. That's a pick-um. I was getting a point before your damn email. In Indy? Yeah. Okay.

My dad was trying to sell me on the F-N-Colts the other day. And I swear, dude, There's a class of guy Daniel Jones Typically he's like Hey I mean he's put up numbers before They get him in a good offense Like this guy's got so

I'm like what are we doing He was right about Sam Darnold Yeah I guess that's true But that's way more The outlier than the norm Daniel Jones blows Sam Darnold's a once a decade event Yeah the Dolphins should win that game by 14

I feel like Chappie though Is the Bengals of gambling Doesn't he always take a few weeks to ramp up Like his first couple He always always suck, and then he's always, like, guaranteeing he'll be back to 500 by this or that date. Right, and he usually is. Yeah. Okay, well, Dolphins triple play.

I love it. You're next. Well, I don't think we really need to belabor the point. I'm obviously triple playing the Cowboys tonight. Nine points is an insane, insane line. And if Danny's going to triple play the Eagles, this isn't even something I have to think about. I think they're going to win the game outright. But if you're giving me nine, especially in a game, they'll have to,

you know probably be in a shoot out here this is easy wow this is going to be I don't like seeing depressed Jake and I feel like that's what's going to happen tonight well but hopefully you're kind of used to it by now can you unmute me my you're good no no yeah yeah no I'm not you're good there's nothing there's nothing to get used to the Cowboys win games when Dack plays. And Dax playing tonight. So they'll be in the game, just like they'll be in all the games he's played in. It's that simple.

Give me the motherfucking Cowboys, Triple Play, bitch. Thank you. Thank you, Shottie. Before we get to Mike's pick, let us, we don't. Do you hear that again? Huh? Go ahead. No.

If you're going to say it and stop it down, go ahead. He already muted me. No, it's up. Keep going. I'll play it when I want. Okay. Well, let's mention Window Nation. We should.

They have a new bit for September. It is buy two windows. Get two windows free. Window Nation.com. 86690 Nation. Zero down, zero payment, zero interest for two years. Freshing up that home. Shut a little light on the situation, Dan.

There you go. Windonation.com. All right. Siroy, you know, to the nursing home. Yeah, I took Christina to the airport this morning, 6.45. Okay, wait. Do you guys live together? Ives.

So if you don't have one of those, everything's a lot better and easier. Yeah, we're coping right now. Yeah. We're acting. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's probably, he's probably just having to be in love with her. That sucks. Yeah.

Porno shoot set. With a dick sensor. I'm a little worked up now. Now that my hand is shaking, I know there's a real prize, it's pretty good. So, yeah, give me the Cowboys single play plus nine points. And then for my double play, I'm dipping into the bag in college football. And I'm going to take, we're going to sick them. And I'm taking the Baylor Bears plus two and a half points against Southern Methodist University.

Go with that. what ends up happening is we take a break before this segment and during that segment I'm frantically You say mine is if you think Danny's Hail Mary bit is like original to Danny Like I feel like I've been doing this for years

Well it's true one time Of course lost the Are you so you're just You're not reading anything about these games You're just going based on it You watched all the film on your own Okay I'm going Well he probably did

Yeah that's that's true Built in a day. Let's look at the fourth quarter score. We out came to 83 to 50 in the fourth quarter. Didn't you say, Mikey, that Norm one year got beat in picks by Gordon? My kid went like over 500 when he was one and a half. Yeah, that was great. That was an awesome bit.

All right, boys, we'll see you over here tonight. I might have a dog pick on social media by the time I see you guys next. All right. Here's Jane with the dumb so new. Brought us by Frankl and Frankel, personal injury attorneys, if indeed you get in a wreck, remember Frankl and Frankel, the phone number 214 or 817, then dial all three. The legislature last night is your THC is here to stay for now. Texas legislature.

It does feel like we're not that close to legalizing it. I have no feel for it, man. I really don't. I mean, if they're talking. Producing abortion pills, you can see. sue them. That probably doesn't matter to you, but you can still have THC. I heard that Jake was. That probably, you could sue somebody for that.

It is nice that you can't sue the woman. That's taking them? Yeah. But there's like a vigilante law, basically. If you find out that somebody's producing abortion pills, you can sue them. I just can't imagine how many people would actually do that. I don't know how many people are producing them. That'd be a weird thing to grow at your house.

I would agree. Uh, let's see here. Wanted to do a couple of pet stories here, or animal stories. In White Settlement, Dan, there's a news note about the passing of the 15-year-old cat that spends all its time at the library, Browser. They named the cat Browser, huh? All right. Now, you see this new story, you're like, okay.

This is a classic cat fashion show, into the newscast. It's a white settlement public library. This cats lived there for 15 years. They announced on social media that it had passed. They will have a memorial at the library. They have donations in this cat's names. For what? To homeless cats, like to give to cat shelters.

But here's the thing. I'm like, why does this rise to the level of a news story? So there's a hyperlink in here. to a story we almost certainly did back when it was a story. In 2016, I'll read to you from the recent story. In 2016, the White Settlement Council voted to remove him from the library, sparking international backlash. I do somewhat recall that, I think.

So back in 2016, like after five, six years of this just mangy alley cat hanging out at their library, the city council's like, dude, we've got to do something about this thing. over my dead body let's get it let's get it out of here so they vote to remove it and uh they gave it 30 days and there was like a large ground swell of public backlash and they're like you know what we'll keep the cat and that was 10 years ago and of course people like you know we can't use the library because i have allergies and there's a there's just a cat there all the time yeah but There's, like, these people that protested.

Browser. Well, my computer just turned off, so that's not ideal. Let's see if this works. That's really sweet. Jake is... Going through major computer charger issues. I would think for a computer that's only a couple of years old. You're going to borrow my charger?

I'm full. I might have to to get this. I can use... Oh, no, it's a different one. I can use my phone for a second, but I'll need your charger. if you don't mind okay I got multiple chargers

but this is the one I think that's worked for you in the past it has seemed oddly fickle for being a pretty new machine dude it's insane and really he got a lemon really what it comes down to

probably is that Dan and Blake are right that I'm just too hard on my things no I think you just got a bad one from the factory uh but it feels

like it's crapping out you're also like a teenage girl though your phone will run out of battery or this this computer is not low on battery oh it just has to be plugged into a certain type of charger that is working uh to stay on it now is this the computer that you dropped off and then it you dropped it off like in fort worth and then you looked at find my phone and you see it's in plain oh and yeah to some underground black market computer repair guy um i think that your supposition is probably uh a good one as a concerned consumer but as a resident of dfw i know that if i want my computer fix i want it driven straight to plano

absolutely so but why did you go to fort worth to drop it off because we were at matt grimm's house there was a mac shop there at no point did i think that the asian man that i was dealing with in fort worth was keeping that computer in fort worth you feel like a computer can't be replayed in Fort Worth. Not of this caliber. I wouldn't want it to be. No. Like a gateway or something you could do.

I was overjoyed when I saw that it was up in like Frisco. I'm like, well, computer repair is taking place there. You want the area around UTD. Yeah, I mean, honestly, it's, you're going to buy your barbecue from, you know, Des Moines, Iowa or something? No. All right. This is from WFA last night.

some great news banter here. And we're going to start with Jason Wheeler. He's the guy they have to do their money. Sometimes they'll call it Yall Street. Bangor from the makers of the Yallotix podcast. He has an idea for a new segment here that he's closing his report with. Can you pull me up? Yes, I can.

This is not all your fault. It's largely my fault. This is not the technically sound. Abiland's show she went to work. Oh, God bless it. That's not even the right one. That I can't control. If so, message me please at Jason Wheeler TV on Facebook, threads, Blue Sky, or Gmail, because

I want to share some of these in a special mini-series called How Did I Get So Wrong on the Money? I'm going to keep working on that title, though. All right, so we're going to start there because Dan is a big fan of getting things right and beeping things correctly. And some people will take a one second beep and throw it over a 0.3 second curse word. And in fact...

That was like a three second beep over... In fact, it's so long and double-tapped that I think they're beeping out. God damn. Series called How Did I Get So... God damn. ...wrong on the money. I'm going to keep working on that title, though.

How could it just be effing? Called, how did I get so... Fucking. wrong on the money. Well, if you're going to do Fing, you have to beep out the F and keep the ing to prove that that's what the word is. Otherwise, you have no idea what the word is. I like to keep a little

back half of that K in there. Yeah. Oh, my God. Spicy boy. I thought you just like to beep out the C. Keep the F you. Now we throw it back to Chris on the desk. Yeah, the FCC probably have something to say about that. You know, a kitten is good. Okay. Okay.

So as we go from Eerie, I have a, this is the next story. Okay. and it's going to require Clayton putting an image on the screen for you guys. Yeah, the FCC probably have something to say about that. You know, a kitten is getting a second chance tonight after getting shot in the face with a dart. What we have to work for you, some of these images are really... Are you, we have to warn you, some of these images are really disturbing.

But the kitten is on the road to recovery and getting a new hole. Yeah, that's it's kittens just got a dart right in its eye. Go back to the start of the... You know, a kitten is getting a second chance. tonight after getting shot in the face with a dart even he knows it's funny even he knows it's funny okay but what that resulted in is some great banter between izzie chris and jessie hawila the big boy who's been on the weather who fills in for pete sometime he's awesome the skittish kitten had been suffering and paid for two weeks while neighbors tried to catch him a group called friends of rescue animals

brought him to Dallas Animal Urgent Care where surgeons remove the dart and injured eye. You're probably wondering who could do this. Rowlett police tell us they have received a lot of tips and are working through them right now. What? I hope they find the person responsible so

grateful for the group that rescue this little kitten. Yeah. Oh, just... Okay, so we could have stopped there, right? And it's just fun times. Yeah. Kitten. Yeah. So grateful for the group that rescue this little kitten. Yeah. Oh, just breaks your heart. So we're seeing something like that. How are you feeling tonight, Haweila?

I'm feeling great. How are you, Gloria? You're stepping into the big man shoes. Yeah, this is a lot of pressure to be here. The bar is pretty hot. Did you even realize what you just did? Of course I didn't realize what I just did. You were telling me somebody called you Gloria earlier. He really is stepping into the big man shoe.

So my predecessor, Glory Comps, go to Costco today, and this man is like, Gloria, it's so nice to see you. You guys have fun? I'm having a great time. Can I count? I have some banter. Can we do banter in the news? By the way, I see Cynthia Izegierre at Costco and Yo, Gloria, and I'm a racist. But, you know, it's all funny.

No, that's goat-level news banter there. Wonderful. I love them. Do you want some Today Show news banter? Sure. Today Show sports banter. Yes. And TC maybe can help us with this a little bit.

But the Miami, so they're doing the Today Show, and they have the local portion where the ladies given the morning show weather. This was Monday. And then they throw it to the actual Today Show. And the actual Today Show is going to have a video of an amazing college football catch. This Miami of Florida receiver. CJ Daniels. One hand, I mean, full extension, it's incredible. Well, it's maybe better than the O'Dell Beckham.

But you'll remember that because there's Monday Night Football and it was the Cowboys and all that. But it was an incredible catch. It was also like the first quarter or the second quarter. He wasn't done, but yeah. Okay. Anyway, I just, I'm, as I will do, walking past the room while my wife is watching the Today Show. And it's like, oh, my gosh, I love this banter. I wonder if the guys would like this.

Tomorrow is a dry one with sunshine temperatures into the upper. 80s as we move through the midweek. And I might tell you, the reason I'm including this is, you know, I don't like poor production. And so there's just a little lag. There's a production lag in NBC's work as far as getting it hitting the post and getting it right on time. I don't like that. So I'm going to show you that NBC5 could do a little better on that. We move through the midweek, and then 90s return Thursday and Friday.

Under pressure of his back, fired, up for grabs, and caught! Incredible catch. That was insane. We're back at 7.30. Look at that spectacular catch again. That's the Miami Hurricanes wide receiver. C.J. Daniels, that was ridiculous. One arm grabs it in like kids practice in the pool.

The senior reaching up with his. right hand hauling in the football before falling into the end zone for a touchdown Miami taking the lead over Notre Dame just before halftime the hurricanes they would go on the wind defeating the iris 2027 24 the college football season off to an amazing star like i've watched it now three times and i still don't see physically how we did that there's more good football by the way bill bellichick i know we've been talking about his first game at head coach in north carolina a little bit later today as well all right but first up in this half hour harrowing moments at a popular amusement park over the weekend.

Why do they even make them do it? You stupid. Yeah. Why do they even make them do that? Yeah. Got to comment on this. And is part of the amazing football, Bill Belichick, in the, uh, it seemed like that was great.

I actually tried to find that story just to see. Do they mention Jordan Hudson? We need to be tracking that, like how regular news talks about her. Because if we talk about North Carolina, the only, that's like the main thing we're talking about. Like the balloon thing? like at Bill Belichick's press conference the other day, they had like a balloon arrangement arch around it.

Like you see it like sorority formals. And like it's clearly that she just is decorating it like the Zeta House. It was ridiculous. It's colored balloons and tario blue. Decorating a Bill Belichick. A press conference, not a recruit signing. I did watch his Patriots ones thinking this might be better with some balloons. Let me play a little bit more news audio.

Let's see what this is. She went to... Okay, so we're going to have to do a bummer story here, okay? Because it's that wild. We have a hot car baby death. I don't like hearing about this. The lady went to work. She was 26 at Handen Stone in Frisco.

Her massage... The place, she's either a facial ascetician or a masseuse. But, yeah, I mean, I go to... one of those and there was a lady who went into work in one of those and while enya or whatever rain music is playing while you're getting your glutes worked on she had a child in the car and that child died and i don't know we don't usually do this these kind of stories but this one is getting extra life because there are some interesting

components to it. Steve evidence shows she went to work while her baby was left in her SUV. By the way, I watch a lot of local news for content analysis and let me tell you, this is not a shot. I would say it's a compliment. I just want

to want him to take it as a shot. Everybody's got different levels of zest. Steve Eager wants to put people in jail right there on the newscast. He's like, listen, We don't need to waste anybody's time. Judge, jury, executioner. Get this shit done.

If I were the officer, I would have taken off the service pistol right now. Right. I mean, honestly. The evidence shows she went to work while her baby was left in her SUV. And police say before she took the child to the hospital in distress, she stopped to get some fast food. Foxworth Payne Yeager. It's not good. Fast food.

Fast food. Had she stopped to get her prescriptions. Right. Medication, something. right but possibly not to his credit she didn't so and the rest of this story is crazy and credit to fox 4 because i watched two or three news stations cover this and fox 4 had a couple details in here that are insane like the fact that after she stopped now we did talk yesterday about how mcdonalds is bringing back those great value great value meals the five dollar breakfast the

eight dollars so maybe that was the impetus but she showed up at the hospital that with her hand in stone uniform on. And they were like, where are you coming from? She's like, home. I've just been hanging out with my kid. And, you know, they're like, oh, it looks like you've been at work, but we'll probably get to the bottom of that.

The officer can talk with you about it later. So then she called Hand in Stone. I assume she was tight with somebody who worked there, but she calls, and the police have this phone call. And she's calling up there like this is Vic and the strike team or like the mafia. like hey it was me you got to cover for me like don't tell anybody i'm calling right now like you are going to prison there's no like i'm going to call and cover this up like hey she said she called

and said i couldn't get child care i was in a tough spot uh please don't tell him i was at work that day i'm like dude there are like murderers who sing over less nobody's going to cover your baby murder because they work with you occasionally at a franchised massage place. It's a level of loyalty you're not going to get. I feel like you hear a lot about the just the forgotten baby. Yeah. Does your car tell you check for babies?

Yeah. My Explorer does. Yeah, I think all Ford's. Yeah. I assume other brands. Object, yeah. This is what I drive. Like, I think they do that because there's so many instances of,

whoops, I didn't know my baby's in the car. I was really cheering for that here. That seems better than like, eh, the baby can handle it, and then finding out that it can't. They have 30 nuggets on sale today? It's going to be tough for anyone to take your side at that point. Yeah, this is awful. So I'm just asking.

That's what I do. So if you are a police officer or a firefighter, let's say police officer because in this case that's what it was um and this morning i was on the phone with my wife and she was like oh what's this she was in grapevine and she's like uh stuck behind a bunch of police officers she's like there must have been a must be a funeral that's what it was so i was like uh man i feel like if a grapevine police officer would have died in the line of duty i certainly would have heard about it um and then i see this story and then i see this story They had a 54-year-old officer.

He'd been with the apartment for 20 years who died from cancer. So when you die as a police officer from not police stuff... It's still your friends. Do you still... Is it... Get the full police?

You do get it, I can now confirm. You do? You do, apparently, but are we... Is that... I feel like... When you get it, when you die in light of service, you're honoring the fact that you... You made that commitment, and we don't get that thing because we didn't...

You're saying officers can still go, but take your personal car. Oh, yeah, and I don't... I just... I'm not saying anything. Sure. If the ideas... I'd like for them to take their personal car. Yeah. Not the one I paid for.

What if somebody... Let's just say a basketball player retires. he dies the next year in a street race. Do they retire his number? The answer is no. What if a basketball player's named Bobby Phil's is currently on the Minnesota Timberwolves, he dies in a street race, they retire his number right there.

So it's kind of like if you die doing anything, because it wasn't like he died on the court, He died actually doing something pretty illegal, right? But they retire his number because, oh, sad. He was just on the team yesterday. Now he's not. Maybe they regret that. Maybe they are kind of like a Kobe hanging in the Mavs rafters.

And also, it's very funny to imagine how the people in those positions having to imagine, can we do the jersey? Can we not? And it seriously just is, did they hurt anybody else? Which is purely random. Yeah. How about this? New owner. Street racing.

Could the new owner come in and just take that away? Bobby Phil shouldn't have his number retired. That's kind of... I'm sure you could, but... Just like the Rangers sold to new owners, and all of a sudden the Cal Ripkin honorary... This is the locker Cal Ripkin would use in the clubhouse in the visitors' clubhouse every year for the last 20 years of this glorious career.

No one will ever use that locker again. and then new owners, and they're like, eh, let's open it up. Yeah. The Bears do that for a bunch of opposing players, and I don't like it. What do they do? They got like Barry Sanders' jersey hanging up,

and like Fav. Oh, I don't like that at all. That feels very unbears. It's awful. You guys want to close out with some more of this banter from WFA? Yep. Oh. This man is like, Gloria, it's so nice to see you.

Oh, my gosh. And I'm like, I didn't have the heart to tell him. I'm not Gloria. So I just let him. Listen to Chris. And I'm like, I didn't have the heart to tell him I'm not Gloria. So I just let him think it and he was really happy. It's disturbing people when I'm out.

A lot of people say, oh, Jesse. Well, Jesse Wheeler, it was great to meet you. That, not a fan of that. My last name's hard to pronounce anyway, so it doesn't matter. All right. It's easy. It rhymes with tequila. It rhymes with tequila.

Hawila rhymes with tequila. There you go. 100 degrees tomorrow. Just absolutely cooking. Just at a high level. We're getting high-pitched. It rhymes with tequila. There's your news.

Trident Garage Doors presents on this day in history. Well, first, be your male birthdays. I got a few of those. On this Thursday. Whoa. I'd like to do a birthday shout-out for my... B.F. Tabitha. What's up, Tabitha?

whose leaders are Brooks' birthday party life, Dan and Blake's speeding mental math, and Jake's commitment to fire Nico, never forget. Also, more jewelry, more CERC. I thought we would have a community mechanical sit-in, but my husband elected to replace the coils rather than the unit. Not understanding how much we wanted the free sit-in. Let's see.

That's from Stephanie. So her best friend, Tabitha. It's got some hot name vibes, but... What? Tabitha? The only Tabitha I knew was about his brain-dead a person as I've ever met, so maybe I'm being poisoned, but... I agree with Jake.

I think it's hot name. It's a hot name, possibly... And with Stephanie? Possibly some, like, yeah. Maybe some... They're probably... ...in each other with a pillow right now. ...grooming issues for Tabitha, but I like it.

I think she's a wok. That can be good. Dear Uncle Besieger of the beleaguid beaver. Please wish my grandma Tilly a happy 87th birthday. You guys in on Tilly? Is that coming out? Is that coming back? No, I just, hot names.

You want to get down with Tilly? So I don't see it. No. No, probably not, but I can see that coming back, though. Right? Doesn't that feel like a name that girls would bring back? Her leaders are listening to IJB patrons, practicing Catholicism.

So hot. And Christopher Dorner. Uh-huh. Do you know who that is, then? Who is it? I just asked if you knew who it was. I didn't ask you to ask me if I knew who it was. He's a former member of the L.A. police force.

I would just think by me saying who is it, that would indicate that I do not know. But I was actually just fishing for, did he know? So you could have just said no. And that's it. You don't know. there was a test do I need to go yeah guys we got a long day

well I think it's it all started when I triple played the Eagles well I mean honestly my thing is like I don't think most people know who that guy is and I like to ask that question to people to find out do they know who that guy is do you feel they should know it's a crew I mean he's the guy from the LAPD that went on you know said that

he had a binders of evidence about corruption in the LAPD and he was possibly schizophrenic also but he was ready to, I think he sent some stuff to CNN, right? And he went on a rampage. He killed a couple cops. He killed some cops family members. And he was like on the loose terrorizing L.A. for like four or five days. They found him up in the San Bernardino Mountains. Had to smoke him out. He had a list and he was working through the list. And, you know, we don't condone any of this.

But what we especially don't condone, he started, the first one on the list was his attorney's his daughter. He's like, you didn't do a good enough job representing me. I'm going to make you hurt like I hurt. That's a best up move. Thumbs down. It's, to me, one of the most ready-made... Now, I'd like to hear the more about the corruption charges.

Yeah, no, he was clearly off. But, like, it feels like a Denzel movie. You know what I mean? It felt like this guy who, they were out to get him, and he's got to be the one man. So it'll never get made, though, Dan. is what I'm saying. If you tell me that the cops might turn on a cop that,

because I think that was what are you saying, right? He had tried to do the right thing at some point, and now he was being hunted for it. Do I think that's happened in the history of the LA Police Department? I do. Now you know, dude. But we could have just moved on, too. And finally, dear Queen Mave of the Shame Cave,

happy 36th birthday to Danny Gray. His three leaders are you and Sarah Hepelah's Dairy Barnes. We dumb boys from Brian. I'm so glad. It's much easier for me to latch back on tonight without having to listen to holl out, howl up. Wait a boy. That sucks. So it's Thursday, September 4th on this day in 1957.

Arkansas Governor Orville Phobus, 1957. Jerry there Some people had the gall to say that nine black students could go to central high school in Little Rock. So yeah, he was. And the governor used the Arkansas National Guard to prevent that. Oh, Orville wasn't on the side of history. So the other one, the other day we had was like 1963. So that guy was just doing an old bit.

Ah, we've done this before. Poser. On this day in 1971, the Jets and Giants both participated in what would be the last single stadium football double header. Oh, wow. In the NFL preseason, they used to do double headers in the preseason. And I think this might have been started by Art Modell in Cleveland because this last game was played in Cleveland. They played two games. They can come out to see a preseason game

You'll get to see two games That's insane It's awesome It's like the best day in Texas high school football The all-day championship day That's... But they're pro teams If you love football

And in 1971 All the real players are probably playing that whole game Yeah First ever two-point conversion scored in the NFL on this day in 1994 Man that's huge Maybe this will be the year. They didn't have it until 94?

94 of the Browns. I had no idea. Tom Tupa was the holder for field goals. He took the snap and ran it in. And on this day in 2010, Andy Dalton became the winningest quarterback in TCU history, running for two touchdowns throwing for another as the Hornfrogs beat Oregon State, 30 to 21. Jake and I were there. We were.

AT&T Stadium. Other birthdays. Terrence Newman, 47. All right. My friend's wife once asked if he was new to the team. Because of the name. Upon seeing his jersey. Whenever I was a kid and I found out of the Providence of Newfoundland, I had a similar.

Yeah. I was like, how recently did they find it? Montez Sweat, 29. What's up? The Bears' defensive end. He's going to make your pick wrong. I have three Kempspins in a row here. John Van Biesbrook, 62.

Accused of using the inward, while in goal, which is just a place you don't do it. I think that's the place it's done most. Hank Basket, 43. He got walked in on by his girlfriend, who was Hugh Hefner's ex. Yeah. And he, Hank said he was there to buy drugs, but what he was doing was having sex with a transsexual. man and she walked in

and I have golfer Raymond Floyd he was wide receiving if you will Raymond Floyd is 83 I don't know that it's really a Kemp spin I just know that like Soroy used to hit golf balls near his house and he said Raymond Floyd

would yell at him like hit it that way get that shit off my yard something I'm messing the story up I think his kid was like best friends with the Soroy's growing up what do you have I have no, I don't have the Kempstman list. Oh, I could have said anything.

Yeah, no, I just have the list. I just note it sometimes. Okay. Interesting, Raymond Floyd, though, married to one lady from 1973 to 2012. Interesting. And he just got remarried, looks like, at the age of 80. That's pretty awesome. Maybe we can cover that more on the stream.

Take a look at her and how old she is. Maybe they have some inside info. All right. Elsewhere, we have... Like, if you're 80 is like 50, obviously it is a big score, right? Oh, yeah. Isn't it weird to think about people who are like...

Yeah. Wow, a 50-year-old. Yeah. Or it could be a 24-year-old if you're Bill Belichick. Yeah. Mike Piazza, 57. He always seemed like a real asshole. 59 War.

Last pick in the Major League Baseball draft. only done as a favor. But it worked out. Because Tommy Lassorda, like, knew his dad or something, right? The Mets unretired is number, right? They let someone else use it? Is that right? They traded for someone, and he asked to wear...

I think he, like, went to the family and was, like, it would be a great honor if I could wear Mike Piazza's number. Why, is Mike Piazza dead? I think he's alive. No, he's not dead. I said that wrong. All right. So, Andrew McCollum is 42. That is the co-founder of Facebook. He's the, who is, like, Mark Cuban's partner?

I used to, like, Todd something? Yeah. It's Cash's best friend. You can cover that on the street, too. You know, that's just what I, you know. They both got the same amount of money selling that, and then you never heard of the one guy and then the other guys. Dr. Drew is 67.

Candy Alexander is 68. I don't really know what to make of Dr. Drew's place in our cultural iconography, but he had a big, big role in my life as a youth at a very formative time. That was my favorite show on Earth in ninth grade. There's no way that it, yeah, at 13, I should have been listening to Adam Carolla, this guy, describe me how, to me how fucking works. Yeah, but they play it on the eagle at 11 o'clock or whatever. Yeah, I guess that's what people are doing.

Awesome. I was waiting all day. I'll probably have a super, super accurate idea of what romance is like going forward. That was a great show, man. Did you ever listen, Dan? Adam Carole and Dr. Drew on Loveline? No, only on, oh, maybe a little bit. Because they put it on TV and it was fine, but the radio show was what you expect.

But definitely used to listen to his early podcast a lot more. Damon Wayan, 65. Noah Taylor is 56, says here Locke in Game of Thrones. No, I was just, I had a Big Thrones guy. A thought. Yeah, when you said Damon Wayans,

I should have mentioned this earlier, but we had, like, Brandon. I went to that clip show last night, Oklahoma City. Oh, yeah, I did want to hear about that. I don't want to talk about it, like, at length. Maybe we do it tomorrow, but... So, most of the songs, really all the songs of

I stopped rapping the N-word like whenever along six, seven years, whenever it was and I was talking to somebody who said that's like super common for younger people now like if you're 25, 26

they don't say that like they don't they will edit themselves at like in their car which is insane and I also know that there's some people like why would you ever do that that's crazy white guilt on over drive, whatever. But I do it. I have my reasons.

In your car? Yeah. But I will tell you this. Ha, me too. When you're in a venue, look, I'm pretty good about it, but you only have to be wrong loudly once. And I felt like Peyton Manning last night trying to see the defense. I was thinking four words ahead the whole night. I'm like, I know these songs pretty well. I think I can get in front of it, but then here comes a ghost, a blitz. Boy, I didn't see that one. I'm glad I dropped that just right before the word hit.

Because I feel like people are looking at you. And I feel like they know what they're doing. When they turn the camera right on the crowd in Oklahoma City during like a super heavy inward chorus and everyone's just looking around, mm-mm, mm-mm. It's something that I feel like very few people will have to deal with. I do. In lip-syncing, is it obvious that you're not saying it is always my concern. You can't lip-sync the N-word.

But I'm saying, like, whenever they're turning the camera on you, if you're singing along and then you don't say it. You can't, you just got to be, no. You've just got to make the mouth not do anything. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Ione Sky is 55.

She was in Say Anything with John Cusack. Ugh. Are you? Playing John Cusack or Iona's guy or just everything. Not everything. Wes Bentley is 47. He was Ricky in American Beauty. Okay.

And he also was in Hunger Games. He was selling the pot, right? In American Beauty. I think so. Beyonce, 44. Woke. Jeans. Whitney Cummings is 43.

Comedian. I think she's pretty funny. What? I think she's like relative to. a normal person. I think she's pretty attractive, but I also think she fell may have been the first patient Dan and the, why did you try to look young

when you weren't old? Ooh. Why? Kyle Mooney is 41. That's what's up. He's back. You got a podcast coming out. He's good to have it to the scene. I came really close to seeing him recently.

That's it? I don't know. I was at the show. My wife had a medical episode. We had to leave. I didn't know. Once I said it, I was like, I probably shouldn't later up. Why did I start saying this?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was a bad decision for start. She her blood pressure dropped. We went home. Oh, man. I wish I weren't to hear that story. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A little cunningist will get that back flowing again, right?

Oh, yeah. I'll put a little pressure on your blood. Here's it we'll do, honey. No, it'll do. I got this. You saw the first two jokes of the opener. Kyle Mooney was right there in the green room, presumably. Kind of put on your scuba outfit and get down there.

Cooper Heffner is 34. Wow. That's right. He's the funniest one. Hugh Heffner has a kid named Cooper. And our Dumbzone birthday of the day, in honor of T.C. being here. and as a kind of a make-good for betting against his bears. 84 years old.

Any guess on who's 84 today that I would say is a dumb-zum birthday of the day based on you? Dicka. Yeah, Dicka sounds like a good guess. Ken Harrelson. Oh, right. Oh, wow. Known as the Hawk who... Happy birthday.

Does he like Sabremetrics? You can put some of those categories. You know, you can put some of those categories. You know, you got your OBPS and all that and the VORPs. When they can put in TWTW and then interface those numbers with TWTW under that category, then you might have something cooking. TW is? Yeah, what is that?

That's the will to win. TW. And Harold knows exactly what I'm doing. Let me take it. Yes. Harold gets it. Well, the more numbers and the more information you bring you to the game, the more instincts you take out of the game.

this is a kid's game it always has been it always will be and it's a game of that tw tw the world to win and you can't put those you can't put numbers on those things you take a guy like jake pv you take a guy like paul canerico these guys have that tw tv they want to win and it shows in their performance what's uh is there anything else they have in common that they were both white socks at the time is that what you're talking about you could stop that sentence kind of before yeah uh born on the state of now, dad, Linda McCartney. I got blown up.

Lost her leg, got related to landmines. Different wife, not the same wife. This is his first wife. I think the one-legged one... Heather Mills is what you're talking about. She was a landmine enthusiast, but it didn't lose the leg to a landmine, right? Correct, yeah.

That's the crazy thing. But also, yeah, I've had my own journey. Yeah, I mean, when I first learned that, dude, you wanted to talk about rearranging things for me. Yeah. Like, just imagine if you, like, if you met somebody whose face was all just a disaster. Like, it's just a mess. Like, oh, God, their eyes out of place.

Their ears all messed up. Their lip is barely hanging on. And, like, they're up there speaking for, like, you know, victims of dog attack. Oh, yeah. You know, like, what happened? What kind of dog was it whenever a dog attacked you? And they're like, I was born this way. Like, I don't think it hits.

Yeah. I don't think it hits at all. She does know the harrowing experience that they're going through in some ways. Just not having a leg is not the same as stepping on a bomb, dude. That's not... In some ways, though, I agree. After a week. She understands it more than you.

Yeah, good point. Like, what do I... I bought these shoes. What do I do with this one? Honey. This whole group knows that feeling. We're talking about TW, TW, TW. It's those folks.

Born to the Stay Now Dead, Paul Harvey. Man, I listen to him a lot. My stepdad was really into him. John McCarthy, he coined the term artificial intelligence. All right. And Francois René de Chateau-Briand. He was just a food enthusiast, it turns out. He really liked food.

and so they named this steak after him because he liked eating it. Damn, that's... Maybe like the coolest distinction I've ever heard. Right. The Clayton Breakfast. Yeah. I know like...

He just likes this. He likes eating it. So it's called the Clayton. They definitely... There's a world where you could get that done. I mean, I don't think that Pugs and Kelly make the sandwich at Wine Burgers. But that's pretty good, though. I'd love to have a sandwich name down.

Oh, my God. Dead and the stay still dead, Joan Rivers. Dan, that must be tough for you. It stole my look. Oh, yeah, yeah. E. You loved it. Steve Harwell.

Her daughter picked it up nicely, though. From All-Star? He's dead. Yeah, I think he's a Nazi, too. Well, he's dead. Well, he died, so. It's a very Bill Gates-esque follow-up. And died on the stay still dead in 2006.

Of natural causes at the age of 44. Steve Irwin. Oh, no. The crocodile hunter. Wow. That's younger than I would have thought. Called him out. And that's what happened on this day in history.
