So if you forgot how to use the 15-second rewind, that's dumbzone.com to subscribe. Now, on to today's program. You are listening to subscriber only content. Yo, what's up? It's Shadi. Hello, friends, and happy Friday. On today's program, we're going to say our names, and then the number of hours we slept last night.
Starting point is 00:01:20 I'm Dan McDowell 6. I'm Jake Kemp for three. I'm Blake Jones. Three. I thought Blake would have beat you. No, Jake's a grinder. I just don't have to, I don't tell everybody about it every time I knew it, but that's... Well, if you do it every day, it's not new.
Starting point is 00:01:41 If you've been in the game for a while. I respect Blake. Blake's always done that. You can see it in his eye. You got home at like midnight, and he got home at 5 or 6. Yeah, but I got a right. Yeah, I was thinking about it this morning. T.C. and I were actually talking about it.
Starting point is 00:01:57 I don't know. You may have had this scene back. in your day, but there's no telling how many hours, like, he and I have shaved off our life through our 20s and into our early 30s, like routinely when I was doing the postgame show and bad radio, I just didn't sleep for 48 hours once a week. It was just like, well, there's not an option here. And I liked it. I like that's the only thing that was shaving? No, no, no, no, no, certainly not. Certainly not. I felt it last night as I got in bed at 615, and as I laid down, my heart it was thumping.
Starting point is 00:02:30 I'm like, this can't be good. Yeah. Like, I've just survived off of adrenaline for the past 24 hours and then... Just had a steak at 3 in the morning? No, no, I got to get into that. I've showed so much restraint on this trip. Why? I'm so proud of myself.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Well, we can get into that, but... Yeah, I love it. I don't... I'm fired up, dude. I mean, you would have thought they won by 40, as excited as I am today. Just that we had football, we have more football. it's Friday There's no end inside of a football I don't think it ever does it
Starting point is 00:03:04 There's only so many more weeks of football And now it's like I'll punch the first person who says that to me this year What? Hey, only a couple I don't care when it is Don't say it We're riding high
Starting point is 00:03:17 Well great time last night We certainly did miss you It's not the same thing Why is something not working? Nothing really works the same Without Blake Jones there we just enjoy your uh your presence we need to uh you have to have to have you around to realize what positivity is yeah for other people uh you know their actions anyway i thought it was a fun time
Starting point is 00:03:45 even without blake um but i don't want to act like it was too fun hence we would make you upset like oh we don't need you type thing you know no i want you guys to have fun i'm i'm having fun what i'm doing we shouldn't have to feel bad At all. We should be bragging. He's hanging out with Steve Berlin. No, I just want him to feel needed. You know, I know Blake hates it if he comes back and everything went well.
Starting point is 00:04:08 So I want to tell him that a couple things went wrong. I was going to say, T.C. does a good job, a really good job. But he's also on the case of making sure Blake safe on a technical side of things. Right, but I think Blake on purpose doesn't tell him everything. Yeah, if you trash. Pretty sure he leaves, like, just a couple things out. There's so much to go over. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Anyway, though, but last night was a lot of fun. Thanks to the Soroy Twins for coming out to our live stream. If you would like to watch us, watch the Cowboys game, you can even sync it up. If you like to do that with your internet, sync it up. You can turn on the Cowboy game, turn on our YouTube stream, and then watch that together with it. Many people were watching last night, and we appreciate that. So speaking of that, thank you also to TC, who joined you. us now for a moment. He is out here at, oh, let's promote. Where are we? Nomad Grills. We are in
Starting point is 00:05:05 Bishop Arts. And Blake gave a scotting report last week, and he was right. This place is great. It's awesome. It really is. You guys haven't even seen the upstairs part. No. What do they keep up there? The meat? Pool table? Did I say that right? Or ping pong? I don't. They got stuff to play, big screens. That was a weird moment, because you just said pool table? Did I say that right? Full table ping pong? I can't remember what it was. Like, what did he not pronounce correctly there?
Starting point is 00:05:32 Both of those words were pronounced correctly. You nailed them. You nailed them. Anyway, that sounds like Shottie might have set this place up. We got garbage cans. We could just wad up some paper and throw it in. Barbecue? You know what we're all about? Competing.
Starting point is 00:05:46 That's it right. You're seeing how that's showing up? All of their backpacks say compete every day. Hell yeah. And what do they do? What do you see them do? They get team-sponsored back. That is, even the staff.
Starting point is 00:06:00 That is such the chip and jojofification of society that even NFL players have kitchy sayings stitched onto their bags. But he said that they didn't have a slogan, yet they did, and they do. You better get on board, bud. When are you going to get a backpack? I don't know. Would that be great? Yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:06:19 I want you to have a compete everyday backpack. I do. See if Brandon can get you one. So is there someone here that would like to explain their presence and, sell their wares with us here or what information do you have that the public needs to have disseminated other than they have beer and barbecue from zavala's barbecue lone star beer is why we're here um just on earth basically to uh to serve at the feet of lone star beer but lone star beer has us out here at uh nomad grills nomad grill at nomad grills it is not a grill i don't think so
Starting point is 00:06:58 I think they're too cool to have a Z of the gangster variety and we would invite you to come on out have some Lone Star I see they have quite a few cases here they're even beating the Den in that scene I believe last night's game
Starting point is 00:07:14 had more Lone Star beer consumed than any of our streams have ever had like we might need to reorder pretty soon again keep it stocked also still Austin Whiskey there's a sample out here.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Stu from Rivian is out here. Rivian is a supporter as well. Stu was at the game last night, too, or at the stream last night. And speaking of that, at some point. He broke a chair. It is chairbreak? Yeah, he broke it.
Starting point is 00:07:41 He's just rough with things. I think somewhere around the half time of the program, another guy who enjoys Rivian and Whiskey and Lone Star, Mike Soroy, who lives a couple blocks away, will roll out of bed, fire out of bed. Yeah. make the jaunt on down here. But TC was there last night.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Again, TC, we now welcome him again for the second time to the program. Thank you very much. For your service last night and yesterday and the day before, as Blake has the unlimited time off package. And if needed, TC will put on that hat. What was the final report on that, that all the companies ended up knowing what they were doing? and on aggregate, everybody worked more?
Starting point is 00:08:28 Yeah. Yeah. Like if you get unlimited time off, you end up not really taking as much. Right. Or it kind of means you work while you're on vacation to. Hey, I'm going to leave, but I'll be available. The average person does that.
Starting point is 00:08:41 The one time of company gave me on the beach. I was going to say, that has to just be the meat. That's the mean, right? Yeah. So most people end up working more, yes, but there's going to be. That's awesome. out there. But the reason I'm having you on
Starting point is 00:08:58 is because I know you're here for a limited time and you have to leave before we do today's birthdays. Okay. And we have a special birthday in honor of T.C. This would be the dumb zone
Starting point is 00:09:08 birthday of the day. Okay. This is so important that I need to say we're not going to talk Cowboys yet after game one. We are going to talk cowboys, the whole show,
Starting point is 00:09:20 except for right now. Should I guess? I don't think. you need to guess. Okay, I was going to, okay. You'll never guess it. I don't know if you had midget Sean's birthday. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:33 That would be fantastic. No, today is the birthday of a still alive. Let's just see if Blake has any reaction to this, because I know you will. A still alive Randy Choate. All right. Happy birthday to him. Hell yeah, man. Marlon's great Randy Choate.
Starting point is 00:09:53 He is 50 years old today. And this is a very inside bit. In my dream version of this show, he would be joining us right now. Oh, my God. Because, you know, those guys don't have anything going on. Right. And didn't you get close once to booking him? Oh, man, I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:10:11 I thought he and Bassick are like best friends or something like that. Bassett definitely knows it. Yeah. Yeah. And he said he's a great guy. Dude, he laughs with everyone. He loves bids. Had I known.
Starting point is 00:10:19 That's not the Randy I met. Before, like, this morning. That's also Bassic. Like, baseball guys, win is a bid is not always the same. Same, but yeah. Before this morning at 10 a.m., maybe I would have tried to book him. You have no reaction at all to Randy Choate. As you're talking, I think I'm remembering what it was and it involves young kids asking sexual questions.
Starting point is 00:10:43 There you go. Okay. So we were recreating a bit that former intern Carlos had done a long time ago, and Carlos executed it to perfection. And I believe his mom actually was a school teacher. And maybe that's why he could do that better, lie better. But his bit was to go into a clubhouse say, hey, my mom's a schoolteacher. She is a teacher. She is a fifth grade class.
Starting point is 00:11:08 She had the kids submit questions. They would like to hear a major league player answer. And I'm just here to ask those to you. And what Carlos did is, you know, he weaved his way through the plausible kid questions, worked it to questionable. and then went for the jugular, but it was done in such a way that it was well done. It was softly gotten to. And then the player actually thought it was real funny
Starting point is 00:11:37 once it got to there. And a fun time was had by all. Did you play any other sports? What was your favorite animal growing up? What position did you play growing up? These sorts of things are how you start. Yeah, well, and I think TC tried that, but it's like
Starting point is 00:11:54 I think also if I'm not mistaken this is probably pretty early in your I'm going on air doing bits career and you weren't very you know Carlos I think was much more
Starting point is 00:12:07 experienced when he did it and I said hey I'd love to do that bit let me take it and then TC just rushed it anyway I have the audio it only lasted like a minute 10 seconds do you remember
Starting point is 00:12:22 what happened happened immediately before this? What? I'd say 15 minutes before the audio you're about to play. Is this to give you some kind of an excuse? No, you called me and said exactly what you just said. What? Hey, the way Carlos did this was he really eased in, all the coaching points that you just
Starting point is 00:12:40 unspooled. I had heard all that 15 minutes before what you're about to play and tell me if you hear in the audio of whether or not it registered. Also, like, the Major League Clubhouse is the scary. place. Yeah. At least of the four locker rooms pro, I'd say, to me that was the weirdest one. Because there's no obvious time for you to talk to them.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Yes. They're just kind of hanging out, which creates an air where they're very unapproachable. Oftentimes not wearing pants. There's a TV on. Oftentimes there's a TV. They're sitting there with it. Like with the other ones, you go in at that time, you leave. They expect you to be there and ask questions.
Starting point is 00:13:16 That's their media availability time. Yeah. Major League Baseball was any time in the four hours before. which makes it super weird. There's no conversation in life in the real world like this. It's just strange. So here we go. Hey, do you have a second? I'm sorry? Do you have a second just to talk? Huh? I tell you said Keith. No, no, no, no. I just said you have a second.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Do we think we're off to a great start? The do you have a second has already been interpreted as confrontational. He thought I said Keith. I think he said Keith. He's like, who's Keith? What is? Is that a problem for you? Why are you upset? Yeah. I'm not Keith. No.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Huh? Oh, I tell you said, Keith. No, no, no. I just said, yeah, a second. I'm with, um, my mom has a fifth grade class and, uh, she just had them, uh, right done. Let's pause again. So really no identifier.
Starting point is 00:14:09 You forgot what the ticket. You forgot where you were with. I just didn't think that would help, you know, like, I want to, yeah, but mid-sentence, you don't decide to then eliminate it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You submitted your credential as my mom is a, school teacher right that's what i wanted to do ticket in dallas a radio station and uh yeah we're we're doing a bit here where my mom gave
Starting point is 00:14:30 god dude this is just like it's but you eliminated the the ticket in dallas and it's a radio station and we're doing a bit where my mom had you just went right to you i'm with my mom it's just the interview version of premature ejaculation over and over like he just keeps going oh god i i'm with um my mom has a fifth grade class and uh she just had them uh write down some questions that they wanted to ask a major league baseball player. Is it okay if you'd answer a couple? Sure. What position did you want to play growing up? First base. And how did you pick your number? I like even numbers in the 30s. And why is the number 69 so funny? I don't know. I just watched some Billy Maness. Do you feel like we're too early? Yeah. Yeah, no. I think what happened was
Starting point is 00:15:18 is he knew that numbers were in play here. He asked about the number for the number for the the player, and then he's like, oh, I have a number thing. I'm going to ask about double oral sex. Question three. But I think also, if I'm T.C., if I'm the interviewer, I'm thinking, well, he might have some kind of, he might give more than three tenths of a second of an answer. Yeah, wasn't a yes-no. But he's like, I like, I like numbers.
Starting point is 00:15:41 That kind of felt like a BS thing. Okay, uh, six-end. Also, for an audio medium, and I think we're comfortable enough as friends to say this, I've been in the clubhouse with T.C. before. I've been in the clubhouse with Trey too Like Oh no That's not
Starting point is 00:15:57 That's about the same Guys are like What's going on over there Kind of like I look like a douchebag And especially back then They were like Get the fuck in But they're kind of like
Starting point is 00:16:07 What is this? So there's an intrigue level Right away And you can kind of tell This guy wants to mess with him With the number answer I feel like With the 69 question
Starting point is 00:16:17 I still got him Like we're we're having fun together He's got jokes about Billy Madison We're doing We're doing fine so far. Well, let's hear the next minute. I like even numbers in the 30s. And why is the number 69 so funny?
Starting point is 00:16:33 I don't know. I just watched something, Billy Maness. When did you know you were good enough to play in the majors? I don't know. I think I always believed it in college, but I didn't know until I actually got called up. And how many girls have you kissed? Are we serious right now?
Starting point is 00:16:53 Just the kids, they, they say, yeah, I think some of these are kind of silly. Probably about 100. You know, what's your favorite sex position? Oh, no. A fifth grade? I don't think so. Go ahead. Do you play any golf? Yes, well.
Starting point is 00:17:11 You know. Like, is this a joke? Am I on camera or something? No, I mean, it's cool if you don't want to. Go ahead. That's fine. No, no, no, just do you have a favorite candy? Kid Cat, I guess
Starting point is 00:17:25 Thank you Yeah Kit Cat I guess How quickly did you walk away Well not Not quickly enough Yeah yeah He had his shit
Starting point is 00:17:37 Yank He got his change Snatched by John Blake Media relations guy Well the guy next He was next to Duane Wise Journeyman Outfielder
Starting point is 00:17:47 So I Just didn't want to like Go too far so I just kind of like turn my attention to Dwayne. And the first thing I had to say to Dwayne, like just trying to come up with something, he made a really big catch in Mark Burley's perfect game. So I told Dwayne Wise how much that meant to me.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Boy, he's in a blender now. Dwayne Wise was, that was the least he was ever interested in anything in his entire life. Oh, man. And at that point, Randy's got, Randy is like used this time to go and grab some of his friends. And he's like, ask them. Ask them what you just asked me. Ask them.
Starting point is 00:18:24 And I think I have audio of that somewhere. And by the time I'm done with that, the media relations guy is over there and he's like, so what are you doing? I'm like, man, I'm leaving. I think that'd be a good idea. So good. And then that got reported to the Rangers as, and I mean like, obviously enough I can see they were intending to kick me out.
Starting point is 00:18:47 But they didn't say, we're asking you to leave. I said, I'm leaving. They said, do that. But then the Rangers, they went and told the Rangers about how bad I had been. And so this caused the big ripple, and we had scheduled a call with John Blake for me to personally apologize and grovel and try to win back his good graces. The call was canceled because John Blake had bigger things to do that day because Shannon Stone tried to catch a fly ball and failed.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Oh, whoa. And now you know the rest of the story or at least more of the story wow wild that's awesome what a tail it was a big day try to recreate it see if you can do the circle is tc finished a lone star beer and set it on the statue oh man well congratulations birthday to randy chote yeah 50 years old 5 o for randy chote 50 years old joe and congratulations to you tc thank you Yeah, we've got to book Randy Choate for one of those days that Blake's on a Cowboys charter. I bet Berline knows him.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Dude, think of the network Burline can get us into. Well, the network that Blake can get us into now. Sure. Like Brian Baldinger, who you sat next to last night. Yeah, working on him for next week. All right, so let's talk Cowboys, man. You want to start with Blake's trip? Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Yes. So I'm going to repeat a couple of the things that I said during picks yesterday, but the Cowboys Charter is unbelievable. And just from talking to you guys, I think they've recently gotten a new, better plane because the first class and the business class all the way to the back is just ridiculous. The first class where all the coaches sit have like a bench and a work desk and you can lounge and turn it into a bed. I guess the business class where the specialists sit and some of the veterans has a ton of room and even where we sit in the middle it's got like the three different sections
Starting point is 00:20:59 and it's a lot of leg room, it's a lot of space and I've never flown like that. And even when TCU made the national championship game and we were told we were on the Cowboys Charter, we were not. We were on a normal big American Airlines flight but that one, that is an experience I've never had before. Like, I know it's still flying and that your body's going to do things no matter what,
Starting point is 00:21:22 but I think this is another one of those things in the category of the way that the Uber-rich do it is so different from the experience in which you do it that you can't even register it, whether it's like... Like, when you take a flight, it takes a lot out of you. Sure. Just all that goes into it. Yeah, I mean... If you just drive next to a plane and then walk up onto it and get off and...
Starting point is 00:21:46 Yeah, you get rid of all. the nonsense of standing in line, boarding, people don't know what they're doing, they're cramming crap above because they're trying to not check a bat. You just avoid all that. You're stuffed in next to somebody. You got to get up. That you don't know. Yeah. I mean, just basically what you're saying is if you can just walk onto a machine that goes like 300 miles an hour in the air, it's kick ass if that's all you got to do. I was going to ask you guys, how fast does an airplane go? Well, am I way off? I would have said like 300. 280? I didn't exactly raw dogs. it on the way out, but I did watch the flight map for the bulk of the trip.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Why? It was a new experience. I wanted to take it all in. Hey, look, we're flying over Kentucky right now. How fast do we go? On the way out there, I swear to you, I saw 650 miles an hour. Makes sense, right? I'm dumb, real dumb.
Starting point is 00:22:40 I was way off, too. Well, you go, that's, what, 10 times as fast as you can go in a car, and how long would it take you to drive to Philadelphia. I didn't think about it for two seconds. What? Yeah. No, when we got up to like 200, 300, I'm like, yeah, we're cruising. And then it just kept going up.
Starting point is 00:23:00 And up and up. You're holding a... Not really. I was eating a steak. That's right on the way. Yeah, and then the next part is just how you're catered to. I'm pretty sure now in retrospect, I was not supposed to grab a sandwich on my way out to the plane because no one else in the media did
Starting point is 00:23:18 and all the players did So I think that Yeah, that's a tough But on the other charters The food was for everyone So my bad Like the Stars trip Right?
Starting point is 00:23:30 Or like just North Texas In TCU You would grab your box of barbecue Or chicken tenders Everyone would get the same thing But I probably should have known That they had different selections And then I guess
Starting point is 00:23:42 Dietary restrictions Some players had their names on bags for whatever reason. But I'm assuming now that's why I got a weird look, taking my Jersey mic sandwich on to the plane. And then there's a bag of food there. They bring you, they walk by, and it's grilled chicken or a filet.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Like, yeah, pop down a filet with sides, and it's a salad. It's nuts. I couldn't believe what I was being handed. And I don't know why, because we've traveled on the Stars trip before, and it's a lot like that. But there's just so many more people,
Starting point is 00:24:15 now, and it was surprising that they could cater to that many people in the same flight. It's got to be, what, 120 to, I don't even know. Yeah, I was going to guess between 150 and 200. Damn. But it doesn't feel like that. Yeah. Do you feel, do you get the Dan Shushine shame at all? From, like, you're being treated like an elitist.
Starting point is 00:24:44 I'm trying to pretend I belong I get uncomfortable knowing that I don't And it didn't help matters That as I'm passing the business class In the first class And I see everyone's untouched food My natural reaction is just grab it
Starting point is 00:24:59 And put it in my backpack There's so much waste I just had to just fight my twitches But it's It's amazing They take your food And then they come by with ice cream Or fresh and they're probably not baked
Starting point is 00:25:11 But they're warm chocolate chip cookies And chocolate milk and as a fatty I just I couldn't I had to say no to all of it there was a day where I would say yes yes yes yes and I got to cut back I don't love hearing that I know but if this was a one-time thing I probably would have but I can't do this every other week so the downside of the trip was I'm in a row with bobby belt crate and branch from the ticket and me what's the downside there you guys should talk ball We did. I like both of those guys a lot. Creighton Branch, former intern of ours. Yeah, he's in your tree. Bobby Belt, great dude, played a lot of backyard baseball on the plane.
Starting point is 00:25:53 I just felt like we had a connection. But if anyone in the media needed to get a yard on fourth and one, get behind us. Yeah, that's a wide base. There's some big boys in there. So we're all kind of, so I'm kind of like leaned in the aisle here because Creighton is taking up a lot of room. Bobby's taking up a lot of room. I'm taking up a lot of room. You need a Christy scales in there somewhere.
Starting point is 00:26:16 The math has got to be a little bit better. You need to trade your one tech. Yes. Does she sit next to Brad? Is Brad near you? I mean, if anything, they have the last name. Brad's in the section up. Come on, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:30 What are you thinking? It's Christy and Babe sitting together. Ooh. Brad is in business class. Brad gets in like with the Cowboys Brad. There are veterans. in Trent and Brandon are in that class. Javonte, and I think I overheard that Shottie will pick 10 players of the game
Starting point is 00:26:54 and they get to sit in the business class. Why not? I love it. So I'm pretty sure. Are some players in with you guys? No. No, no, this is just media. But on the way out, I don't think I saw Javante there, but on the way back I did.
Starting point is 00:27:06 So I think it's two touchdowns, got him a little seat upgrade. Listen, I know that sounds ridiculous, but that. That's a thing that works. Guys, even that they make $2, $3, $20, $40 million, like they don't want to practice the next day or they don't want to run or they can't buy. You have to give them things they can't buy. And sitting in the front of the plane on the way home
Starting point is 00:27:27 from a East Coast game, why not? So I'm going to do some of my Philly stuff, I think on Monday, but I did want to hit the police escort to the game because you take, there's two different sets of buses. One is the early bus, the other is the later bus. I got on the early bus, and this is over four hours before the game, and there are about 50 Eagles fans outside of the hotel behind barricades waiting to yell at Cowboys players.
Starting point is 00:27:59 And so I walk out, I'm dressed nice, and they start booing because they think I'm with the Cowboys. And then one guy in the back yells, what position does he play? And they're like, oh, it was pretty good. I did admit that. I mean, just think about what you're watching there. Like, just from history books writing about our society. I'm not to go full of gummy thought here, but you're walking out. There's just people yelling at you because of the shirt you're wearing because they think you're with a football.
Starting point is 00:28:29 Because I'm wearing a dark blue blazer. And how many hours before the game are we talking? About four hours before the game. Yeah. Not at the game. No. They know where they stay. So we get on the bus, and as we start leaving, the police says courts us through.
Starting point is 00:28:42 downtown there's a ton of people on the streets and undivided attention as we're going by everyone on the street is looking everyone is staring some are clapping waving most are flipping us off and i thought that was bad and i was like oh philly you know whatever and then we got to the parking lots and that was chaos screaming people not throwing stuff but just like kind of approaching double birds up i mean they it's it's it's hot They make you take your time to get through it is basically what they can do, right? Yeah, and just intimidate, I guess. But, you know, I've been on those just TCU going to tech or whatever.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Any college rivalry, I had never seen anything like that. And, you know, there's a lot of, it was Thursday night football, it's game one, it's a Super Bowl banner. But I would have a hard time believing that's not the case every single time the cowboys go there. It can be both. I mean, it's probably the case every time. And also, that was about as unique of a one-off experience. Them getting a ring, it's in Philadelphia, one game, and it's the Cowboys. You're not going to get that again.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Make the Cowboys watch you get the ring. Yeah, that's a unique thing. So, you witness something special. And so then my radio crew for the night was Jerry Recco, who is a part of the Boomer and Geo show on the fan of New York. Did he work for the guy that went to jail? No, he did. Correct card. You should ask him about that.
Starting point is 00:30:12 I will. He's good dude. He's good dude. He's good dude. So, Baldi's personality is exactly what it is online. Great guy. Makes you feel like you've been friends forever. Is he just huge?
Starting point is 00:30:28 Yeah. How did you get his number? They sent an email out with everyone's phone number, and I had to coordinate his past, so we had talked a little bit before I got there. And a little bit before the game, he asked me if, if I would go down to the field with him and take pictures when he approaches players, kind of for his online presence. This is fantastic.
Starting point is 00:30:49 And I thought of, I can't remember who this, maybe was, I think it was a machine. But, you know, no matter how far you make it up, if you're the youngest guy on the crew, you're still having to do the grunt work. But the grunt work gets better. Like, I'm having to follow him around and take pictures, but I'm on the field. Like, okay, hey, I'm going to go talk to Devonte Smith. Come on. And so now I'm walking onto the field with Brian, just taking pictures, and no one says anything to us.
Starting point is 00:31:16 He just sees players, and of course he knows a lot of the linemen. So as the Eagles are warming up doing their drills, I'm in the middle of the drill with Brian taking pictures. That rules. This is so great. I'm so happy. So he walks by, says hello to Rodney Harrison. There's Garrett. And boy, the aura of Jack Collinsworth.
Starting point is 00:31:39 and the swagger that kid has is unbelievable. Don't tell me that. He's got Riz? Oh, my gosh, yes. He's got an okay in his name. It was amazing to witness. But anyway, we go all the way around. That sucks.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Because if that's true, that means I'm going to be dealing with him until I'm, like, dead. Yes, he'll outlast you. Yeah. He's a new sea crest or something. Just the way he was kind of chin out, walking around, looking at everyone. God, this is Notre Dame's fault. I'm Jack Collinsworth. And so then, yeah, he's talking to Kenny Clark and Tyler Booker
Starting point is 00:32:16 and introducing Rodney Harrison and Tyler Booker and all this stuff, and I'm just in the middle of everything. And then... This is insane. And I know the entire time I can't believe it. And so then he looks and he sees Joe Milton. He says, oh, I haven't met Joe Milton yet. I want to go say something to him.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Joe Milton is in the middle of the, like the exact center of the field, throwing passes to the end zone. And Brian and I walk straight out to the middle of the field. to go say hello to Joe Milton. And bother him in pre-game warm-ups. Yeah, but all these players see Brian, Baldi, what's up? He's that guy? They dab them up.
Starting point is 00:32:49 They talk for a few seconds. Some of them say, when are you going to do a breakdown on me? Wow. They know it's good for them. Does he have a mangled hand? Yeah, his, I think on his right hand, his pinky, like, just go straight down. Kind of a perpendicular, or like a right angle. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:04 And when people ask for pictures, sometimes he'll just hold it up like this. But he was a huge deal. Are people coming up and asking for pictures with him a lot? Yeah, so as we're walking around the stadium, people are yelling from the fans, from the stands. Baldi! Baldi! And then the people that are on the field want pictures with him.
Starting point is 00:33:22 And when we got back up to the booth, we're right above the 300 section, and people are yelling up at the booth, like, Baldi! And he's a huge deal up there. Did he play there? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I played for Dallas and Philly.
Starting point is 00:33:37 So being his little... He played for Dallas? Yeah. Why didn't I know that? Being his little personal assistant for the evening was well worth it. That's fantastic. And that's the beginning. I mean, they're not all going to be Philly.
Starting point is 00:33:52 It's not all going to be like that. That's still, man. You're in the game now. But that was... He played for Landry. Did you know that? No. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:34:00 I didn't know that. I didn't know much about his... I kind of thought he was an eagle. I knew Eagle or thought Eagle, but that's about all I know. He was with the Cowboys for the first five years of his career, four years in Indy, and then two in Philly. Yeah, he was awesome. You know, we had to kill an hour and 15 minutes with a delay.
Starting point is 00:34:22 It was just nothing for him. Like, they would just talk, and he could go forever. It was amazing. So this spread at Philly, not great. Some old pasta, some old chicken, tater tots for some reason. So comparing it to the Dallas Cowboys Media Room? Yeah. Half-time hot dogs and chicken tenders post-game Philly Cheesesteak and French Fries.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Whereas you said the Cowboys have. It's immaculate. It's immaculate. It's probably about average. We'll see. You'll tell me. Yeah, we'll see. I just know Washington is terrible.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Right now you have your top ranked as Dallas and your bottom ranked is Philly. Yes. You've only been to two places. Chicago's next. So we'll see. We'll see about Chicago. But yeah, man, that was an incredible trip. I'm so happy he's doing this.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Dude, you have no idea. Like, I'm trying to contain it. Are we happier for you than you are for yourself? I mean, there's a lot. Are you fired up? No, I'm internally fired up. I mean, I know that I can't put my feet up. I don't operate like that.
Starting point is 00:35:22 I have to do good at this job to keep it. Of course. And so before each... You'll do you. You'll do good. Yeah, before each game, I want to throw up. You're just nervous? Yeah, nervous.
Starting point is 00:35:31 But then once the game starts, it's something I've done for a long time. Like the magnitude. of it is obviously several orders bigger than doing spots for Spondoosa whatever. Mexican oak. But is it what you thought it was where when we were talking about it leading up to it?
Starting point is 00:35:50 And you don't have to answer this if you don't want to. But where it's kind of just the job that it's the same job. It's a little more than I thought. Walking into it I thought I was just going to be handing cards at commercial breaks. But there are a lot reeds to get in. There are certain breaks you've got to hit, and then the NFL will just move
Starting point is 00:36:10 breaks all around. And so during the game, it's hard for me to watch the game and keep everything organized. Are you in their ear? Yes. So while they're broadcasting, you can be like, yeah, whatever Sherman, Sherwin Williams next. Yep, yep. We have reads for everything that you could think of, and you've got to get all those in at a certain time. So there's more to it than I thought, but it's a good kind of organized chaos that I enjoy. we contemplated bringing you up because I have like a friends and family link but we weren't sure of the legality
Starting point is 00:36:43 for what just to listen to the broadcast obviously we wouldn't be able to hear you okay yeah no there's that's consent my imprint is very little still just wanted to hear it yeah but it's cool it's
Starting point is 00:36:57 we're hoping like maybe the play by play guy would suffer some kind of a cardiac event and all of a sudden we got to slide into the big chair Yeah, I mean, during the weather delay, he needed a break and, like, yeah, well, what should we do? And I thought, you know, I'll do a podcast in Dallas. To Juneau, Alaska.
Starting point is 00:37:16 Yeah, right. They're on everywhere. It's crazy. Yeah, how is that? Because I haven't yet done it, but I wanted to listen to the NBC vamping. It doesn't seem like they have a really good lineup to be able to vamp. Oh, they got the King Jack Collinsworth.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Yeah, I don't. They do have Jack. Yeah, I saw a little bit of him. But, like, how was your guys vamping? I guess Baldi could probably do it well. Baldi was great. Yeah. And we've got a studio host that we could pitch it back to.
Starting point is 00:37:45 And, you know, I'd been through this before with college games. Who's the studio host? Have I heard of him? Guy named Steve DeSager, no. He's out of New York, I think. But seeing Chris Collinsworth after the game, he was beaten. Chris Collinsworth? Yes.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Where did you see him? Just in the press box. I mean, we're right next to NBC. We're right next to Kevin Harlan doing Westwood One. sham is right next door the whip guys were right you know a few doors down and so I'm in the bathroom after the game
Starting point is 00:38:11 and I just hear this exasperation what the hell saw Collinsworth in the bathroom yeah and so I get done go to wash my hands it's Chris Collinsworth just putting eye drops in his eyes just like I can't we're going to go to Buffalo
Starting point is 00:38:23 and it's just he it's week one and he's beaten that's awesome because he got to work with Tariko Trico very kind was he? He didn't try to Didn't try to dittle me.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Didn't assault you? No. But I hit the town, I hit Philadelphia, and saw some sites. I'll bring that to you Monday. But as far as work-wise, it was incredible. They do the TSA screening at the stadium. So before you get on the bus, you know, you're randomly selected. And so it's a quick little thing.
Starting point is 00:38:55 It's great. They got the dogs. You lay all your bags there, right? The dogs just do that. And they don't really check anything. No. And so that way. You could actually be an international drug smuggler.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Good. I think. Could. And so when the buses leave, they pull right up to the plane. You load front and back, and it's the quickest I've ever gotten from bus to plane to air in my life. And got back at about 5 a.m. last night. But the finishing touches on the Argyll broadcast for tonight set up at the stadium in Middellothian before the show today. And here we are.
Starting point is 00:39:24 And here we are at Nomad Grills in Bishop Arts. Yes, courtesy of Lone Star Beer. We have... And Zavala's barbecue. Looks like they got a lot of... I can smell it. A queue out there. A series.
Starting point is 00:39:39 I don't know. Can we go? We got a lot of Q out there? No? I don't know. We have baseball tonight, though. Yeah, they're having a watching party here. A little Houston...
Starting point is 00:39:50 Is silver boot, like, trademarked like Super Bowl? The people have to dance around it? Like, the shiny footwear in Texas. No way. How are we looking on that battle? There's still a game and a half They didn't play Neither team play
Starting point is 00:40:04 No I mean for the boot I don't care about Oh I don't care about the boot I'm trying to make the playoff Yeah it's why you were so stoked about The NBA Cup right You're kind of a As long as you win the well
Starting point is 00:40:14 The Lakers man Lakers and Bucks Hopefully this can be the Mavre here But yeah if you're watching live Come on down here Lone Star Beer Zavala's barbecue Plenty of Lone Star beer
Starting point is 00:40:25 Mike Soroy showing up Well don't drive people away That guy was born for Friday. That's true. Did he wake up at noon today? Probably. I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:40:37 We didn't keep tabs on him. That'd be my guess. He went hard last night. Yeah, no, he was participating. He's Mike Soroy. Did I have to say that? And it was a hyped game. It was a hyped game with an extra hour of booze.
Starting point is 00:40:51 So, yeah, we got a full effort. And that was like the quickest game until that delay. Oh, yeah. Like that game was scooting along. Eight minute drive? And then who was it? or somebody's like, this is the quickest game we've ever been involved. And then all of a sudden there's a weather delay.
Starting point is 00:41:06 They broke Donovan's postgame show rule. Without a piece of, didn't look like there was a piece of rain. Was there anything? What an insane conversation that was. I'm having it again right now with the guy who was there. I don't blame you. Were you bitching? Were you like, what are we doing here?
Starting point is 00:41:22 You can win the case. What cash? No, were you upset that they had a weather delay? They stopped for lightning because it wasn't raining. I'm like, what are we doing? No, no, no, no. We saw the lightning. It was close.
Starting point is 00:41:35 And NBC showed the picture. The lightning was really close to the stadium. You can't see the lightning hitting anyone during the play. And I'm like, I don't think that's what the standard is. It rained a little bit before the game. Let's look back at the 70s and 80s. And how many people in NFL games were ever hit by lightning? This is like, the funny thing is there's got to be people who think this.
Starting point is 00:41:54 We used to just play during, and maybe, but it's lightning. It's lightning. They've got to, I don't know. I got to get to sleep. I was not considering that there are people who are like, they should make them play in lightning, but you were like legitimately convicted. I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Do you know the rarity of getting hit by lightning? And then think of what good that pubbed that would be for the league. Everybody would tune in. Can you imagine the ratings that the NFL could get? Man, I would be so upset that Norm was not on the air anymore if somebody during a cowboy game got struck by lightning. like the puns he could come up with the next day. Struck by lightning before winning a championship.
Starting point is 00:42:39 It is odd that every time they play in Pennsylvania. It's two in a row. And that we do a broadcast. All of history. There is an hour delay. I was not at that last one. The East Coast time zone sucks. Boy, you had Dan was real upset about it yesterday.
Starting point is 00:42:57 Well, we were talking about it, yeah. It just dawned on me that this game is starting at 8.20 if you're on the East Coast. And yeah, I guess it ended well after midnight, right? Dude, I think they just moved one of the new NBA packages, whether it's Amazon, NBC, somebody. One of their games on the East Coast starts at 1030. It's insane. I mean, I don't, I guess just, yeah, man, crazy New Yorkers. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:43:26 I don't know how people do that with kids. Okay, so, like, you are not, you say you can't really pay attention to the game so much. Bro, it's 11 p.m. The NBA has a doubleheader this year with an East Coast 11 p.m. tip. Like it starts at 11, the second game? Yeah. Sorry. That's... And are they going to schedule an East Coast team to fly out west to have to play in that game? I think that's bad on the body clock.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Anyway, um, were you in? able to ascertain like did you guys know what happened with the spit right away no no and especially because there was the guy injured the carts coming out which is a pretty normal time to break but the game had just started and so my job is to watch a guy who's wearing orange sleeves tell everyone whether to go a break or not and he just seriously was shrugging and so i didn't catch what was going on in the field and it took a while for you know our monitors to hit it and all that kind of stuff. So that was a little weird to figure out. Yeah. No, it was weird for us for quite some time.
Starting point is 00:44:33 And then even watching it again this morning, it's just weird that it happened. The whole thing is weird. It's never happened before, right? A player's never been thrown out before a game? No. I guess it was after the first play, in theory. Yeah. The kickoff. And the fact that there was a torn ACL on the opening play of the season already would have been something where people are like, oh, that doesn't look. I mean, it just can happen.
Starting point is 00:44:59 But I think if you were to try to make sense of it, that moment right there is like the peak amount of human tea cumulatively on earth that we can get. In the same way that we were just explaining how big of a deal that was for Blake and what that moment's like, imagine standing there in Dax's body. Like in that moment, that is, there's no more intense existence. unless you're like a Navy SEAL. So, okay, so the cart's coming out, so now we have a stoppage, but everybody's going, know they're going to be playing very soon.
Starting point is 00:45:36 So they are all in their respective huddles, and then they kind of know the play. Everybody knows what they're doing, and now we're just waiting. And like you said, you're all teed up, you're fired up, you're probably whatever stuff you sniff before the game or that stuff they banned, right? But they banned the team from providing it, but certain you've been doing it.
Starting point is 00:45:56 Uh, not you. I mean, the player, and maybe you as well. So, uh, Jalen Carter, so he just wants to kind of intimidate a little bit? Is that what he's doing? He's kind of like, I'm awesome. I'm going to walk kind of towards your huddle and just, uh, stare you down a little bit. Is that what we're thinking? Yeah, you just start yelling.
Starting point is 00:46:19 And, well, so Dax's not going to be taking that either. He's going to look back, look at him too, and we're going to just stare at it. each other? First the lineman. Listening to the players talk about it in their post games, it seems like Jalen Carter was trying to get in the head of Tyler Booker, the rookie. Okay. And Dack was standing up for his rookie.
Starting point is 00:46:38 He even said as much. And the cameras caught Dax spitting at the ground. Now, whether he was doing that on his own volition or in regards to Jalen Carter, I don't know. He didn't even, he didn't. The way it looked. Of course he's not going to admit it, but. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:52 But the way it looked on TV, he was definitely doing it. Towards Jalen Carter, as if like, hey. He was doing it towards him with no intention to hit him. For sure. It was a, do you want to fight spit? Yeah, you want this? Towards the guy down. Not, like, cocky style.
Starting point is 00:47:10 I'm just right all over him. So what was Dak saying it? One of you guys got that audio, right? It's not worth playing because he's saying, you know, oh, I wasn't spitting at him. It's really bad that that player of that magnitude got kicked out of the game. I was not trying to... He was just boring, Dak.
Starting point is 00:47:26 Of course. It was just like, I thought we'd just get 15 yards, so I wasn't spitting at him. But our boring deck did get in his head. Yeah. To the point where now he's coming up, bowing up to Dak, like right in front of Dak. So he started to try to, he's trying to get in the head of a rookie. Good move, right? Dack's going to stand up for him.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Now he's going to get in the head. I'm going to get in the head of Dak. But Dax's in his head, and he spits right at him, right in front of an official. and thrown out of the game. I was kind of amazed by that. Man, you know, I don't know why it is. It's kind of like with the FCC. If there's bodily fluids involved,
Starting point is 00:48:09 now that I realize that's only going to be spitting in football, but there's like a medical aspect to that that they freak out about. But like Tio spit in someone's face, right? Years ago, I heard the one-star podcast talking about it. it. But I think he just got fined. But this is a long time ago. Yeah, and I mean, it's up to their discussion. We've got skirts on now. And I think, I mean, from DAC's standpoint, that's one of his attributes. I have, he's a top-ranked mind. Like, he's locked in. And if he's, if he's able to mess with, if Jaylon Carter thinks he's already endomic and Sue, and Dak's been around. He's
Starting point is 00:48:49 unk. So one of the traits he has is he's old. Yeah. And he's pretty good at that part. It was an amazing moment in the stadium, too. Dude, I can't imagine. Because the pre-game, they got the Lombardi trophies up, everyone's going nuts, and then kickoff happens, and everyone is just, like, ready to effing go. And then when they pop on and said the player's been ejected, it was ma'am. Was it like, what?
Starting point is 00:49:12 What? And then just booed. Oh, my God. It was amazing. I was just thinking of how teed up and jacked up and who knows what he was ingesting, Jalen Carter, as you now got to watch. walk to the locker room is he going right to the weight room
Starting point is 00:49:28 like what's he doing he's got to get all that energy out I'm just hoping not a car as long as not a car then I think you're okay as long as someone else what's the Kemp's been on him
Starting point is 00:49:42 man there's multiple but it's with someone who killed someone yeah he was he was street racing and left the scene after wrecking and it killed a staffer, another driver. Did that allow him to fall in the draft?
Starting point is 00:49:58 Yeah, he fell to somewhere in the first round. He didn't go first overall. He didn't go top five. He didn't. Yeah, insane. But getting him off the field, a huge posture. You'll take it. I think they went right at it.
Starting point is 00:50:15 I think that was probably somewhat the plan anyways from a big dick measuring standpoint. But yeah, it worked out well for him. first shoddy game yeah extremely high marks yeah and there's I mean there's a bunch of different ways you could look at it from the
Starting point is 00:50:36 did it just feel like everything was kind of working operationally and it seems like did it it did and I went back and looked the last four I guess I just did McCarthy years those teams were always penalized so much and a lot of it
Starting point is 00:50:52 was pre-snap So I don't know if it's a McCarthy thing, a player thing, you never know. But those teams got a lot of penalties. And Shotties boys looked like a real NFL team. That's to say nothing of how they actually approached offense and mixing up outside, inside, and the different blocking. And the things like that, they just looked like a football team, which, frankly, it seemed like a lot of people weren't sure
Starting point is 00:51:16 if they'd be able to even do that. The play with 14 seconds or whatever before the first half, the pass to CD and the spike in the field goal, That was very operationally sound. Yeah. They looked like they weren't outclassed. I was reading that his pre-snap motion was extremely high, very small sample size, but compared to last year, like the Cowboys ranked in the bottom three or four teams in the whole league,
Starting point is 00:51:45 and this would have ranked top four if this game is indicative of the whole season. Yeah, it's something to keep an eye on. I mean, they've been a boring offense. That's undeniable. Whether you think McCarthy was good or bad, they were very, very boring. And the run game last night, which is, I think, easier to see on TV
Starting point is 00:52:07 because I can see who's blocking who. And, I mean, I was telling you guys last night we were watching, this is different. They have a different run game now, and it was refreshing because their quarterback can't run. So for them to create anything halfway interesting offensively, to really scheme it up.
Starting point is 00:52:25 And it looked like they were able to do that. They also just didn't look like they were getting punked. You know what I mean? They looked like a team that was ready to have a physical battle with the Eagles, which I'll just take that. Exactly, because I didn't think that could even happen. Like I think the bar was kind of low for expectations for me, for sure. I mean, Vegas.
Starting point is 00:52:47 On what they were going to roll out, especially last night. and they far exceeded all of those one more shoddy thing I thought crying during the anthem was performative he knows the cameras are on me now because I'm the head coach Is there anyone in here who could cry on command?
Starting point is 00:53:07 Was he crying? I don't know that he was actually crying though but I can look like I'm crying at least I know but like the Sirianni one I feel like he was trying to go toe to toe with him and maybe couldn't pull it off Yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:53:21 So I, because I think my thing would be, okay, you've been a coach here for the last few years. If we would have put a camera on you last year during the anthem, are you crying then? Or is it because you are in Philly? You do know Siriani cried during the anthem, and you know all eyes are on you because it's your first game. If I were to offer a counterpoint that's probably pretty flimsy because it's kind of a force field, every time they ask him about something emotional, you know what he says. My dad.
Starting point is 00:53:53 My faith, my family. But yeah, but on those moments when they ask him about it, that's when he says, I was just thinking about what my dad would say, man. Like, that's his thing, his origin story. Did they show Siriani walking out? Because if you want to talk about performative, that smug bastard walking out with Dom,
Starting point is 00:54:16 Like you would have thought he's walking up to fist fight somebody. Well, man, I'm finding out and hearing from people that. He's been a head coach for four years. They've been in the playoffs four years to the Super Bowl twice and they won it last year. I know. So I might walk out with a little swagger. Yeah. I hate him.
Starting point is 00:54:31 He's so Philly. Like if you're going to say, tell me that Jack Collinsworth walked out with the same swagger, I would say, no, I think one of those guys should have swagger. I think like, especially with like the Taylor shared and stuff being as popular as it is, you could probably find somebody down here. although we may need to go west. The Cowboys need a Dom-like figure who's like cowboy-ish. Cowboy Hat Doctor?
Starting point is 00:54:53 No, but Cowboy Hat Doctor doesn't have a gun. So he needs a gun. He's a cowboy. He's a rant. Like somebody who's a rink. Like they need a guy who looks badass because it's insane. Is rope good? It's insane that the Eagles just get to have a massive, like, mob heavy,
Starting point is 00:55:11 fucking roaming their sidelines during the game as a mascot. Like, that's not, what other NFL team is pulling... It does fit with Philly, though. Of course it does. I mean, Rocky was breaking legs for a lone shark before he became Rocky. Like, if the Panthers tried it, you wouldn't accept it. But there, and he just, he wears it, he got an Italian flag on his Eagles hat. His name is Tom.
Starting point is 00:55:34 The coach is Italian, and it's just, oh, this is normal. I love it, but I think we could, maybe we could counter. Cowboy Tom or something. Has a receiver ever had a worse 100-yard game? I'm positive, but you're to the point. But it was a 100-yard game, you'd think, oh, that's a great game for a receiver, or at least a good one,
Starting point is 00:55:58 but you would end up saying C.D. Lamb had a bad game. I would say that he cost him the game. Yeah. And if you wanted to have a negative, like a really negative takeaway from it, it would be that they are definitely not good enough to have any Ls because of their best player. Well, yeah, and this is where, you know, quarterback wins. I feel like Dak did just about, I mean, he put that ball on the money.
Starting point is 00:56:23 Which one? It takes a lot for Dak to get. All three? Yeah. Yeah. For me to get moving. The third one was a little more difficult, but still a diving CD. We've seen CD make that catch.
Starting point is 00:56:34 The one on the deep post in the middle of the field, that was ridiculous. The one that felt like it was going to get picked. That's how hard it hit him. Yeah, Jack. Yeah. I mean, it was a great throw. Oh, no, the one that hit his face mask? No, I was talking about the really deep one down the field
Starting point is 00:56:50 where he put it on his chest. Yeah. No, and that's exactly what you want. That's Jerry Jones, the theory of, I pay this guy that and this guy that. They should do, yes. Yeah. And they did.
Starting point is 00:57:06 Like they both were there. That's the exact thing you would want set up. You used your money players. you drew up plays for them they were great plays because they worked in execute you know they just didn't execute them everything was great up until the CD part
Starting point is 00:57:23 maybe CD should have skipped camp or something I was going to you know what I was thinking that this morning from a narrative standpoint it's not good last year if this would have happened last year he would have said after the game yeah gosh if I was in here for camp
Starting point is 00:57:38 that was used as an excuse what's your excuse now CD you're right small homer pushback would be I think the camp thing is like timing and being in shape and being like you know I'm not saying camp doesn't affect your catches but they would
Starting point is 00:57:53 talk about like oh we're at a rhythm like the balls he's not even getting they're not even on the same page they were pretty in sync last night it was they just had a very low success rate when connecting but man I don't know it's been a minute since
Starting point is 00:58:09 Dak got me all horny and he's definitely capable of doing It got one sleeve going bald. He looks great. He looks fantastic. He does look good. He, it's funny, when he does escape pressure, it still feels lumbering. Lumbering and scary.
Starting point is 00:58:29 Yeah, it's like, how do you get out of the, there he goes. Somehow he did get out of that one. He got out of a couple, and it kind of worked, but it didn't look smooth, and it didn't look like, you know, Romo getting out of it. No, man, there was the third and, the fourth down, the fourth down after the two-minute warning, that's where Collinsworth on the broadcast was like, you know, Dak hasn't run it at all. It was third down.
Starting point is 00:58:55 He's like, this is the time to spread him out and do it, and it was never even a consideration. Yeah, that's the thing. I saw some online arguing about Dak and Hertz and, oh, who says, you know, Hertz is that great. He had 180 yards passing and no touchdowns, and Dak had. 170 yards passing and no touchdowns. But Jalen Hertz also ran for 65 yards. Probably like eight first downs. He led the team.
Starting point is 00:59:21 Yeah, he, like that part of his game is incredible. Incredible. It's the most frustrating thing I think I've ever had to watch in football. You know, had to watch, but. What do you mean? The fact that they have four downs every single time marching down the field because they're just going to pick it up. You're like they've changed the math on everything.
Starting point is 00:59:40 So like when you normally after a player, like, Am I happy or not? It's just the success rate of the play. Like some teams do four yards first down, half of it's second down, pick it up on third. Others do whatever, percentages. But the point is now it doesn't work. Because when it's second and eight, I'm like, fuck, I've got three plays. So what they really need, if they get the ball, let's say they get the ball at the 35 after a kickoff goes in the end zone.
Starting point is 01:00:07 They need one first down to get to this new world. Yes. There it is. And if they don't, then they punt. But if they can get up to their own 45, even, that's it. Because you're around midfield, and it's four downs. It's very frustrating.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Unless you can hold them to, you know, fourth and nine, but it's rare that you do that for them. What do you think of their defense lining up to do a tush push of their own as a celebration after the fumble? Did you see that or no? Oh, yeah. Okay. I saw it they replayed that more than some of the...
Starting point is 01:00:40 Remember, you were yelling at the screen. like hey why don't we replay like the play and not they showed that a hundred times that's very annoying but that's not just then but it is funny i heard someone else say this today the uh you know the the taunting thing got called which was kind of ridiculous miles sanders got tackled the uh taunt the guy comes over and just kind of flexes in his general direction kind of like the way Dax spit at what's his name? Jalen Carter.
Starting point is 01:01:12 Jalen Carter, sorry. But that was their point of emphasis in the off season. Kill me. Bingo. Kill me, bingo. Sorry. I, we've...
Starting point is 01:01:20 What, point of emphasis in the off season? Every year or something. Nothing breaks my brain more than like highlighting which rules are going to matter and then changing it. It's like, that's not how rules work.
Starting point is 01:01:31 Right. It's an insane way that they do refereeing and it always wears off 40% into the season. It's way easier to see in the NBA, but... But the team celebration with the push push is not a taunting. No, no.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Which is good, because it's cool. But if you look at me, I'll pissy. Back up, sir. And the team celebration thing, they all knew where to go. They knew what they're doing. That is absolutely practiced. Yeah, dude. I mean, we saw...
Starting point is 01:02:00 We're practicing celebrations. Yeah. We saw... They got a lot of time at camp. We saw CD and Pickin spent like a day. Really? I don't remember that. They said they did.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Brandon told us that Shottie's a big team celebrations guy. We're going to see the Cowboys do something. Dude, they're playing ping pong this year. I promise you, somebody's going to start a touchdown and start doing doubles ping pong. And that will rule. That'll be cool. Oh, we do have to take a little break, and then we're going to talk. Let's get some beer from Lone Star.
Starting point is 01:02:32 We're going to do some picks. I did want to say this, though, and we'll get back to more Cowboys. But it's very exciting. I was even excited. I'm excited waking up. It just because they have exceeded kind of the unknown of, you know, I didn't think they'd look, I didn't think they'd be able to hang with Philly. Now, Philly losing their best defensive player, that helps a lot.
Starting point is 01:02:58 It definitely does. And I'm not saying that they'll continue to be a team that can give Philly a game, or teams like Philly. but if anything it reminded people that at least when they have the guy that they accidentally paid a billion dollars to, if he's out there it's fun to watch them. He is good.
Starting point is 01:03:16 They will put on an entertaining product. He's a good player. He's a good player. But he has to have more than the best guys have. He has to have more. He has to. Now he has. He's not Lamar Jackson. He's not ever going to be. No. He's never
Starting point is 01:03:32 he's not going to get better. Ship is sailed as he goes. But yes, that's why that's why really the George Pickens thing shouldn't have taken so long to get a guy like George Pickens. You should be trying to surround him and keep him protected. At least they do have that. They understand that you need to draft offensive linemen.
Starting point is 01:03:52 I think that's very smart by Will McLeigh or whoever is behind all of that. I do want to say this, though. We're very excited. And I remember after two games last year, people were pretty excited about the New Orleans Saints especially if they routed the Cowboys they won their first two games last year
Starting point is 01:04:13 47, 10, 44 to 19 and who was that offensive coordinator? We were like, he's the next head coach for sure. Klein or Clint Kubiak? Yeah, that is insane. Then they lost seven games in a row ended up firing their head coach and now Kellan Moore is there
Starting point is 01:04:29 and Clint Kubiak is not. So just to remember that, that after week one, this isn't the whole NFL season. But it does feel weird. Doesn't it feel like a win right now? Yeah, which is dangerous. It shouldn't. But, I don't know, man.
Starting point is 01:04:45 The vibes were so bad, dude. They just forced themselves into trading Micah. Right. They just be in a game. They hired a guy no one's ever heard of. They traded their best player. There's a lot of ping pong. It just doesn't feel like it was going to be a tough team.
Starting point is 01:04:59 Like dinner, their main plan was we're going to eat together and talk. The Eagles were without their best defensive player And they had eight penalties for over 100 yards It was there's a middle here Just because it wasn't a total fail Shouldn't provide optimism But I mean then the Cowboys best offensive player Dropped three balls that he should have at least had two of
Starting point is 01:05:20 Good one, Dan Right? Yeah No, I'm just saying They did hang with Philly Kind of All right What a Peter out to the bridge
Starting point is 01:05:30 I'm just trying to help Oh, yeah, let's hang a banner for a four-point loss in week one. Whoa. Whoa. We'll get back to the Cowboys. That's Clayton's suggestion for our Dom. Yeah, we need to go out there wrestling some cattle. Like, what if this dude is to do steer wrangling out there?
Starting point is 01:05:49 That would hype people up, more than Dom. There is a better chance that the Cowboys hired Dude Perfect to walk out there. No. God. Why did you just put that into the universe? That would be great. All right, nomad grills in Bishop Arts. Lots of Lone Star beer here.
Starting point is 01:06:11 We would like to have you out here as well. And let's pick some games with Chappie's Lock of the Week in a few minutes. The Dumbza. I want to promote a couple things here while we're at Nomad Grills in Bishop Arts. Thanks to Lone Star Beer for having us out here. Before we talk to Chappie and Jared. I got a new Lone Star T-shirt. A Lone Star Beer Poncho Outdoors T-shirt.
Starting point is 01:06:54 You're listening to The Dumb Boy. Check out that design. I meant to hit this. No puppet. For you. That's great. Yeah. Go get you a shirt
Starting point is 01:07:02 Actually, let's bring Chappie and Jared on together Because I'd like to promote two things That they may be Might be interested in Of course, Jared Sandler joins us every week You know him, you love him It's the Jared Sandler show Hey, how about that
Starting point is 01:07:19 Jared Sandler, we know him That Texas Ohio State Under Dude Yeah, how about that? He was on that so early. He texted us two weeks before the game. And then Chappie. He picks games with us every week.
Starting point is 01:07:36 He loves his lock of the week. And he joins us as well. Hello, Chappie. Hello there. How are you guys doing? He's a product of nepotism here on the program. Absolutely. So I want to promote two things.
Starting point is 01:07:52 One is the Dumb Zone Day at the Ballpark. Do you know we're doing that Wednesday, Jared? Yeah, I did know that I'm going to try and see you guys We would love to see you to swing by if you can I know that that's probably more difficult for you Than even Dave Raymond As you have to do all the pregame stuff
Starting point is 01:08:14 But do you know where we're broadcasting next week Yeah, we're going to be in the same place The Lowe's Hotel across the street Okay and What time are you starting? About 10 Oh, I can be there Okay
Starting point is 01:08:28 10 to 1 Nice. So that is, if you go to DumbZone.com and our promo code page, we have a link right up there for how to get tickets to that. But we've got a section or two in the ballpark. I think it'll be out in left field like last year. I don't know. Yeah, we've got this. Yeah, and tickets are 23 bucks.
Starting point is 01:08:51 So it's a good ticket price. You get to see us. And Jake will be there. And Jake should be there this year. Yes. He was not there that last year. He was anti-baseball last year. Right, but I've come around. My brewers are in town, so you know I'm going to be out there.
Starting point is 01:09:05 And I also want to be very clear about, no pun intended, the rules for the day. Now, Jared, you don't have to do this. But anybody who's coming to the game with us, I'm going to encourage you to take advantage of Global Life Field's updated bag policy, which states that guests are permitted to bring outside food into the ballpark, as long as it is inside a sealed, clear, quart-sized, or less plastic bag. This has made the rounds of our subscribers. People will be doing that. Let's have a party.
Starting point is 01:09:37 So actually, we need to delegate and just bring a spread. Right, so we don't all bring spaghetti. Right. Somebody brings sauce. So, yeah, we'll get together. Anyway, and then also want to promote something you guys would be involved in. It's on dumbzone.com as well. if you go up to the top on dumbzone.com
Starting point is 01:09:58 it'll say the banner, the knockout league because you can still sign up for that before the week one games if you would like to join that. That's 50 bucks to get in. Half of all the proceeds will go to the winner and then half will go to charity and a big chunk of that charity money
Starting point is 01:10:15 will end up going to the sandlot. Jared's charity. So we donated to that last year as well. We'll do it again this year. And we'd love you to join that, Jared. And Chappie, I know you're into knockout leagues as well. All right, there's the promotion. I think we should talk to Jared for the bulk first
Starting point is 01:10:36 because he's got to go, like, do a Rangers pregame show. For Rangers Astros tonight, we got a Rangers Astros watching party here at Nomad Grills. So what did you want to hit with us as far as picking games this week, Jared? Like, you got any good tips like you did for us last week with Texas? Yeah, I mean, I really, the one that I really liked the most was BYU minus 20 and a half against Tampa, but that line has already jumped. And that's, I mean, that's one of the challenges these days is, you know, when you make the pick, the number I get and the number that might be available when, you know,
Starting point is 01:11:14 whenever we speak could be a little bit different. But I'm looking right now, I'm seeing it, well, it's gone to 21. I've seen 21 and a half in some books, but if you can get it at 21, then maybe worth it. But 20 and a half, I like BYU on the college side. And then the NFL side, you know, these are the sharpest lines you're going to get all year. But I really like the Giants. If you can get them at plus six and a half or plus six, although I've seen some plus five and a halfs. But division dogs, week one, tend to play well.
Starting point is 01:11:47 I think over the last two decades, they're covering about 67% of the time. So I really do like the Giants. I think their strength, their defense, the commanders strength, their offense match up well. And then neither team has a good, you know, Giants' offense a little, you know, iffy. The commander's defense not so sure about. So I like the Giants covering in that one. What does it mean when you say the sharpest lines of the year? Well, these are the lines that, you know, they were created in some cases months ago.
Starting point is 01:12:19 And so the numbers moved over a much longer period of time. And so they're settling on, you know, even though there's not as much known data, which, you know, makes, makes week one for both college and NFL a little bit up in the air. But these lines, you know, you could have played the Giants commanders months ago, got it at a certain number. And for instance, the Packers Lions, I think the Lions were favored by two and a half points, two months ago. Now the Packers are favored by a point and a half, two points, whatever it might be. So it's just, it's more time for the books to settle on the very best number, you know,
Starting point is 01:13:00 compared to week to week when, you know, it's obviously maybe even though you can bet on a week two game right now, the lines aren't going to be as sharp as they are for week one. Same reason why a playoff line is also incredibly sharp is because you've got all this data as the season progresses to, to figure out the very best number. Does that satisfy the ask? Yeah, I believe so, yeah. Okay. I didn't know what it meant at all.
Starting point is 01:13:29 I was here at the sharps. Yeah, I mean, it's... The sharps around this one. I think in general, the average person who gambles or thinks about games, you, doesn't think about the public at all. Yeah. And the public is a huge part of it.
Starting point is 01:13:43 If you're looking for edges, you know, like where that's headed. Watching what the public is doing? Yeah, trying to be in front of it, that sort of thing. Especially a discrepancy between the public and sharp money doesn't guarantee any sort of outcome. But, you know, if you're really, like, if you're listening, you're like, I'd like to try to make some money doing this gambling thing. Like, if you just want to throw some money on games when you're watching with friends to, like, have some skin in the game, you might not. I mean, you can, but it's not as important. If you're like, hey, I'd like to try to make some money in this football season, it's important to understand where public money is.
Starting point is 01:14:17 is sharp money is, how the line's moving, all that stuff can help you figure out the best place to make and maybe games that are traps to stay away from breath. Well, I love it. But real quick here, do you want to give a big speech that can maybe go viral or something? Like, they got a real opportunity here to close this gap. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:14:38 I'm allowing myself to dream a little bit. In fact, my dream all year has been Rangers Astros in the first round. Just the three games set that one of the ones, of them would be the best wild card it would be a competitive division and that possibly not the strongest at the top division and that you'd get a match up like that and it's not as likely as i had hoped it would be but if it's going to happen maybe you can start it now yeah i mean that'd be great you know the rangers have never lost to the aster's in a playoff series so uh you know that's something the rangers can uh you know hang their hang their hats on but yeah this is how often do you
Starting point is 01:15:14 think he says that it no i love it i bring it up every yeah Whenever the Astro, yeah, whenever Astros fans want to, you know, get on their high horse because, you know, whatever, I just remind them when it actually mattered the most, the Astros wilted and got, they lost all four games and, you know, their, you know, their home ballpark. They love saying this is low or minute made North or whatever, Diking North. Well, yeah, you got to worry about protecting your own ballpark in the playoffs when it matters. So that's sweet. Yeah, I mean, this is probably, you know, however you want to rank the first, second or third, most significant regular. season series these two teams have ever played. You know, when you consider we're in September, the implications, I think the 2015 four-game series in Arlington that the Rangers swept to go from two back to two up and, you know, have a change in the guard in the ALS. That was a huge one. That was the first post-all-Star break really big series between these two teams in
Starting point is 01:16:09 2023 when the Astros came here and swept the Rangers, when they took control of the ALS and they scored like a billion runs in that series. that was another big one, and then there's this one. We'll see how it works out. But this is an opportunity for the Rangers to really put some pressure on the Astros, but also continue to climb in the wildcard race. The Mariners are on the road this weekend. They've struggled mightily on the road.
Starting point is 01:16:31 The Rangers are only a game and a half back. So, you know, the Rangers kind of have two different lanes they're pursuing, but that ALS lane is still open so long as they take care of business this weekend. Speaking of the Rangers and the broadcast, can we get the photo up there? No dice. It's not in there. Oh, well. Never mind. I thought we had a photo from the other day. Jared was calling several games in a row with David Murphy.
Starting point is 01:16:54 And just as he's who he is, Jared Sandler, you know. Some guys are out here saying, I'm a shorter guy. I need a big box to stand on when I stand next to this professional athlete so that it doesn't look cartoonish and Biden and the Carter's. But he said, no, I'm going to lean into it. And it's an image you're not going to see on television. television often. Is it LeBron and Simone Biles? You ever see that one? It's fun. And, you know, it's not that, but it's, uh, and you know, when you're, and it's, it's unavoidable to look at him when you're talking to him. So he's looking up at him and it's, I don't know. I, uh, I know, I know that you had to say like, no, it's cool. And most guys in our business have such egos. Did someone ask you, like, do you want something to stand on? It was, it was discussed. Someone brought that up. Uh, this off-season, I may or may not have been the principal owner of the Rangers at one point, I think. But a few people brought it up. Our whole deal is this.
Starting point is 01:18:00 We are, we want to be authentic. We don't want it to be, you know, this scripted mumbo-jumbo. We don't care about traditional TV. Traditional TV would say that I got to stand on a box or we got to sit down. We don't care about that. And I don't care. Dan, I've been small, short my whole life. I don't, it doesn't bother me. It shouldn't bother other people.
Starting point is 01:18:24 I don't, I know I'm 5'7, and I know that most of the people I talk to in this job are a lot taller than that. So it was asked, it just doesn't bother me. I would feel way worse about it standing on a box and acting like I give a crap. I just don't. Like I am who I am, and if people have a problem with that, I can't help in it. It doesn't matter to me. Well, maybe someday you could do a show with El Tuve. I have interviewed him.
Starting point is 01:18:51 I am taller than him. I have like a quarter of an inch on Jose Altuve. No way. Wow. That's got to feel good. Yeah. That's got to feel good. Yeah, I was looking down.
Starting point is 01:19:00 I walked away from the interview, and I did one of those like too small. Yeah. That's right. Taller than. No, can I tell you, though, that was one of my most regrettable interviews. Because I, there's a little bit of a language barrier. I mean, he speaks, he speaks English, but I think, like, maybe some nuances lost. And I wanted to ask him, like, hey, I'm leveling with you here.
Starting point is 01:19:21 We're both short guys. We both get a lot of short jokes. When was the last time you actually heard a short joke that made you laugh? That's a good question. My whole deal is, yeah, my whole deal is you can make fun of my, I don't care. Just let's have some new material. Let's make it funny. And I asked him that question, but I don't think he understood the nuance of what I was asking.
Starting point is 01:19:42 I think he probably heard the lead in. about being short, and so he just automatically assumed I was going to ask him, how do you have success being short? So he gave me like this generic answer, and I just felt like he was disappointed in my question. But I wasn't asking like, hey, you're 5'6, how do you hit the ball well? I genuinely want to know the last time someone made him laugh with a short joke, but he didn't understand that I walked away feeling like I really didn't do my job. What if you were asked that question?
Starting point is 01:20:10 What would your answer be? man not i feel like at this point i'll give you a good one i our director of team security blake mo this is not the most recent one but uh this is one that that i think was really well done you know we go in these caravan appearances uh where we go and for whatever reason you know they have a broadcast member there a lot of the time so people cycle through these lines to get autographs from the players maybe an alum uh and and one out of every four like they're excited to see us but a lot of them like they'll awkwardly not acknowledge our existence so they don't have to tell us they don't want us to sign something which I think is really funny in none of itself I would just be like
Starting point is 01:20:49 like sometimes I'll try make it awkward to be like oh you don't want me to sign it that's cool or whatever I I don't I get it like I wouldn't want my signature smearing a ball signed by like a real athlete but so we showed up to one of these and Blake Miller our director of team security had a seat for you know this person a seat for that person he had a high chair for me Which I thought was pretty funny I thought that was well done That was a good creative Different one
Starting point is 01:21:17 Well we appreciate you This is financial advice So Taller than Altovae And sharp Killing the game All right man We appreciate you go Rangers
Starting point is 01:21:31 Go Rangers see you guys Hey sorry Pops Hi Chappie That's how cool Cool hey there guys Yeah Jared looked to you I had to get in quickly before he goes does his real job.
Starting point is 01:21:43 So where you got going? You don't have a real job. No, sir, I'm proud of it. Hey, Dad, did I? I am now into my, I just hit 12 years. Chapie's, but being the banged them home.
Starting point is 01:21:57 Chappie's texting a little different. Because when I told him about the picks, he responded, cool, I can dig that, bro. Dude, yeah, what have you been doing? Were you doing some, like, weird emojis and stuff, too, to me? What do you got going on? guy what are you talking about is your wife texting for you
Starting point is 01:22:14 what are you talking about I am watching no no man no I'm just trying to lay down some digits to Jake and Blake I mean what do you think of that that's pretty cool huh yeah I think it's great yeah man I mean
Starting point is 01:22:32 another good season Dan five and a half months basically of football I think what's the Super Bowl this year? February, I think it's like the second week in February now. Later every, it's probably week three, actually. Oh, used to be a field.
Starting point is 01:22:48 It's going to be March before we know it. It did used to be a field. I remember they used to play the Super Bowl in November. Back in my kids didn't play the Super Bowl until Labor Day. Yeah. So, I mean, when you take in week zero. Thank you, Clayton. Going back to, you know, what was it, August, 25th-ish was the first game?
Starting point is 01:23:09 It might be before that. But this is your time. Football season is what Chappie lives for. For those you don't know it, Chappie, Jake's dad once moved to Vegas because he loved to gamble. This is true. He was not, you know, it wasn't as prevalent legally. So, you know, across the nation. And also, can I tell you, it doesn't really matter that it's legally more prevalent across the nation
Starting point is 01:23:34 because it's legally more prevalent across the nation largely on your phone. this guy's going to the book yeah you know what I mean like he's also obviously becoming more adept with the phone based on his recent texting yeah yeah but I'm just saying he's
Starting point is 01:23:50 he wants to be there in Vegas in fact that's where I first met Chapie we were on a star's road trip right yeah yeah and we met him in Vegas and uh we started getting him on the show doing picks with us and then he was awesome it was actually good and you said
Starting point is 01:24:06 you don't subscribe to anyone you don't listen to anyone else you do your own charts you do your own research and then you make your picks and then we've had you make picks with us every year and you always do very very well but also i think you often start slow so i wonder if we'll rectify that this year or not you agree you agree that you're the bengals of game picking yeah i would say uh with the exception of maybe one year i think we started doing this in 17 uh my memory search whenever y'all came for that stars trip uh there was one year i remember where y'all you guys used to lay your hat i think after four weeks i was 36 and four so
Starting point is 01:24:52 there's there's been an occasional hot streak i've gotten really cold um but i i seem to i certainly seem to get better as the year goes on but i don't know man i've been kind of kicking around with it the last month and uh i kind of i kind of like what i'm seeing on some of the stuff and uh we'll see jake won three games last night what's that trip played the cowboys because i'm a cowboy fan first of my kind in our family yeah yeah that was uh he did take the cowboys though talking a little bit about it i mean i thought dac looked better than he has in a long time and uh actually found myself kind of pulling for them there wow which half
Starting point is 01:25:40 yeah yeah I mean I don't know you know I know seriously I think that I think the weather delay I just remember when that started I thought you know what anytime you have a long weather delay it never seems to work out that good for the vision team
Starting point is 01:25:56 I don't know if y'all talked about that but it's kind of I don't know I thought they got a really good bump at the start when Carter spit on back and it seemed like they were feeding off of that And then, I don't know. Played a good game, though, to your point, Dan. I mean, there's nothing to be ashamed of with the game they play.
Starting point is 01:26:13 It does give you hope that they may, you know, be able to do something this year. For sure. No, I think if you're a momentum believer, which I am not necessarily, but Shottie has at least said he is, I would think that you were happy with that weather delay because it looked like that momentum was. Wasn't that right after the Miles Sanders fumble? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:33 That's got to be that what, I don't know, we're blaming CD. and CD certainly could have made a couple of plays, but they're about to punch it in right there. Yeah, but Fumbles happen, even though he's a heavy fumble guy, and you don't pay him anything. So those are going to happen. Yeah, but. But you could have priced that in and still won the game if CD was...
Starting point is 01:26:55 Oh, yeah, obviously. Yeah, yeah, I'm just... The fumble's going to happen. Kind of bailed out by the weak target call. Target call, yeah. I also think, too, had they scored on that drive? A lot of time. There's a lot.
Starting point is 01:27:08 It doesn't mean just because Philly didn't score in the game you watched last night, that's the game the way that game played out. Their game plan, they certainly were quite conservative there in the last couple of drives, like, hey, let's just make sure we try to eat some clock and whatever. Hell of a play by deck. Deck was very good, though, man. But still, you got to look at, I think there were fewer penalties from the Cowboys, fewer pre-snap penalties.
Starting point is 01:27:34 There seemed to be a little bit more. Discipline about what was going on from McCarthy and some of the other cartoon characters that have been over there? I mean, who knows, man? Who knows, indeed? Yeah. But I thought the line ended up at 9. Jump in. That's a big line.
Starting point is 01:27:55 Doing something. Is he picking a pick a game or? What? I'm just kind of enjoying what's happening right now. I was just looking for one of these two to direct the interview or something. All right, well, let's pick some games then. You know, you can do that. What are you doing?
Starting point is 01:28:12 I mean, I'm listening to Chappie Talk Cowboys. I don't mind that. I like Chappie. Anyway, what do you like for this weekend then? And give us a couple, but then certainly will lead into your lock of the week. All righty. Well, you know, I give you a couple of college games I like plays on, and I'll give you a couple of pro teams
Starting point is 01:28:37 and then, you know, I like the ponies at home laying two and a half against Baylor. You know, I think Baylars maybe kind of hang around there a little bit, but I think they'll fall a little short. I think the ponies will have an uptempo offense. They play well at that stadium.
Starting point is 01:29:00 So I like SMU minus two and a half. I'll stay with college. I'll tell you a team, it's really under value they're moving up in the polls on the college side they get overlooked because of the conference that they're in but it's illinois illinois has got a scrappy team man and they they they've showed it the first couple of weeks out of the blocks they showed it last year they're playing duke they're laying two and a half i like illinois fighting fighting in Illinois is it minus two and a half against dude it's just not it's not the um yeah
Starting point is 01:29:37 okay you want to keep keep going yeah yeah no let's yeah i'm gonna give you i'm gonna give you i do believe in momentum now by the way i didn't five minutes ago yeah uh i i like michigan going in oklahoma plus five uh you know i i i think they're they're going to show the defense. I mean, it's going to be a good game. That's not one that I would put as many units on, but I like Michigan plus five against Oklahoma. And then if you're looking for something late at night,
Starting point is 01:30:09 you've got Sam Houston Bearcats going over to the Rock. And these are the late night activities playing Hawaii. Now, Hawaii won the first game against Stanford. They got blown out of the water of the second game. But Hawaii's minus seven. Hawaii,
Starting point is 01:30:25 in my opinion, is going to beat the Bearcats by more than seven. So, you know, from a college standpoint, I like SMU, I like Illinois, I like Michigan, and I like Hawaii. On the pro side, wait, real quick, did anybody see Dad, you, Blake, most likely you, did any of you all, did you see Michigan play last week at all? The Barstool quarterback at all?
Starting point is 01:30:47 Yeah, Underwood did fantastic. I just occurred to me. I didn't see a second of that. It was New Mexico. I mean, yeah, it was New Mexico. But, I mean, you could find, oh, my gosh. You could find clips of him running. Like no one you've seen before, thrown.
Starting point is 01:30:59 He's ridiculous, but also. Yeah, Portnoy. Yeah, Portnoy is the headline, but I think it was also the founder of Oracle, his new girlfriend, is like a Michigan somewhat recent alum. Maybe 30s or 40s, maybe that. But that's the real money behind it. But just, yeah, she's a Michigan fan. I don't even know if she went there actually now that I think about it.
Starting point is 01:31:23 So would they pay this guy? Dude. Five or six million? It was before you had to report it, I think. She's the number one quarterbacker, Kurt? And he's a true freshman, so anyways, that just popped. I didn't know, I didn't see anything about that last week. I'll tap in on that one this week.
Starting point is 01:31:39 All right, Pops, pro. Okay, pro side, I'll give you a couple and then go to triple, or the one I like the most. I like the Packers at home minus two. They're playing the Lions. You know, the Lions lost both their OCN, DC. Take a look back at what happened to Philly two years ago when they lost
Starting point is 01:32:00 Shane Stock and they lost their both O.C. and D.C. I think the lines take a step back. They've lost a tremendous amount of experience in the coach. They didn't just lose an O.C. in D.C. They lost nine coaches.
Starting point is 01:32:17 Nine coaches. So, yeah, I like the Packers. I wouldn't have approached that bet last year. I think you're going to see a different lines team. I like the Packers at home minus two. So that's my first pro pick.
Starting point is 01:32:31 You know what's going to be way weirder than not seeing Micah out there last night is seeing Micah out there Sunday? That's going to really break my brain a little bit. Maybe with Luca it was less weird because you see him play like international or I don't know. That jersey is going to look very weird on a real NFL. God, this is all right. Go ahead, Bobbs. Maybe I'll skip that one.
Starting point is 01:32:58 Well, he's all football now. Yeah, taking a break. No more distractions. Yeah. Good call. His back doesn't hurt, too. His back quit hurting now. So he should be good.
Starting point is 01:33:08 Magically healed. Hey, Dad, I got a question. Yeah. You ever deal with that with any of the old unionized boys? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, especially the one where, you know, they would come in on Monday morning and be all tan and roasted up and looked like they'd spent maybe, you know, two or three days on the lake
Starting point is 01:33:30 and then an hour into the operation, they're back hurt. He is the bitch about these guys speaking. He's like, can't fire. God damn beauty. What did you do this weekend? What did you do this weekend? Well, I didn't do anything. I just hung out.
Starting point is 01:33:44 I said, oh, yeah. I said, you know, it looked like you've been down in Hawaii or something. I'm not sure what you've been doing. No, man, no. I was just on the couch. Came in here to work, ready to give you the 110% of my body. back start i threw my back out over there on that ear rig oh okay you damn liar so i know you're just trying to get me pissed off i'm not getting no i mean i'm not pissed off those things you're
Starting point is 01:34:06 i know you're passionate about i'm playing i'm i got micha was faking an injury yeah oh every friday i'm playing a garage band here so i you know i'm not getting pissed off i got 45 minutes to stay calm and uh work out the uh kinks of a couple next time wait wait a second here you're in a garage you're going to play in a band tonight? Yeah. Yeah, I've been playing in a band. In some neighbor's garage. Jam time, bruh. What do you play?
Starting point is 01:34:35 A lot of 70s, you know, a lot of Leonard Skinner. What do you? You don't just put on a record. I mainly lay down the beats, play some rhythm. He's a rhythm guitar. He's a rhythm guitar. Guitar, okay, that's the answer I was looking for. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Me and the drum guys on the cattle and the snare.
Starting point is 01:34:54 I had. We kind of hanging along. The drum guys. You know, now I'm back to Blake. You know, I got my sunglasses on in there. I can't really see what I'm doing, but I got my cords all down. So, yeah. Do I, do we need a film crew there to document this? No, I'm not quite ready for that one.
Starting point is 01:35:11 A T.C. documentary. I've seen my dad jammed before. I've jammed. We used to play together. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not quite there. But I guess I just didn't answer your question. If you're asking, is it funny? And it should be from, yes.
Starting point is 01:35:24 Yeah, that's different. I just said I'd seen it. Yeah, he thinks he's got to be ready for the tour or something. No, I don't want that. All right, go ahead. Sorry. What other NFL games do you want to pick? Thank you, Mr. McGowan.
Starting point is 01:35:38 I gave you four college and I've given you one pro. I'd like to give you two more. Go ahead. I like the resurgence of Daniel Jones and the Colts. Why? What are you doing? Why? Okay.
Starting point is 01:35:52 Jared took the Giants on you? the the coats are playing the dolphins minus one at home and Daniel Jones he's got an offensive defensive coach both put into that role I truly think with Taylor in behind him I think I think Jones may play like he did in 2022 I forgot I told you guys he was selling me this the other day I did tell you. So keep your eye on the coats. Keep you out on the coach here. All right.
Starting point is 01:36:27 All right. I'm marking this down. Beth will mark this down for us. God, you know they're going to get beat by 40 once. That's a bad football team. Look, so are the dolphins. The coats are more balanced. The dolphins,
Starting point is 01:36:43 this McDonald, this is his last year, if he even makes it through the year. He's done. So he'll be coaching his. his ass off trying to do some fourth and 23 statue of liberty with pants that come up to his thighs. So we'll see how that one turns out. Let me move on. Shaffy's not a big fan of guys showing their ankles, is he? No. No, I'm not, dude. I'm done. I'm past that. I got wranglers and boots. So just we,
Starting point is 01:37:12 well, I don't know. Okay. So I'm going to go to my Locker the Weekend, and unfortunately, it's an exact replay of what Mr. Sandler just said. I think the commanders are taking a step back this season. I don't think they did anything to fix their defense at all. I'll give you one stat. They were 79% on fourth down conversions last year. I don't think they're going to be that good doing that. I love, yep.
Starting point is 01:37:50 I love the Giants front seven. And I'm going to get six and a half points. And it's a, it's a game within the division. There's too many points. I'm very excited, by the way, to immediately start proffering the take that Abdul Carter is like worlds better than Micah now. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:11 I was going to, yeah, go ahead. No, that's the one I like the most, but the ones I gave you, I think I gave you, One, two, three, four. I gave you seven, four college three pro. I like the Giants the best. So there you go. That's your lock of the week.
Starting point is 01:38:29 It is. It is. All right. Yes, sir. All right, Dad, will you go jam? Do you dress up like a little Stevie from Springsteen, put a bunch of bandanas and shit on it? No, I kind of like just to, you know,
Starting point is 01:38:50 maybe a rolled-up t-shirt with a pack of smokes and a Copenhagen hanging out my back pocket you know that kind of look kind of Jason Aldine like maybe a chain coming off my you know belt loop that's nothing new to me I'll show you some pictures son you've seen this picture in hearing me when I was 22 I mean yeah I think I've got that look pretty going well Dan I don't know well it's great that you could look across the room
Starting point is 01:39:17 at a thing hanging on your wall and expect us to be able to see that picture. That's a good point. I agree. All right. Thank you, Chappie. Thanks for the tips. We'll talk to you next week.
Starting point is 01:39:30 All right. Thanks for having me. All right. There's Chappie with his lock of the week. Do you want to do any more Cowboys? Want to play a little audio? I do. I just don't know how are we going to do all of it?
Starting point is 01:39:44 We don't have to. We can just. I can save. There's not a great amount from Shadi to tell you. the truth i got some what do we have from the game i got a little audio we don't need much in the way of news you just keep keep going do cowboy stuff um do you do game audio or do you got anything from post game you like not really bj owns uh okay let me just i got two cuts from the game what did why was jerry talking oh you're saying because it was a road game yeah i was just confused
Starting point is 01:40:17 because i just looked up and saw jerry talking post game way jerry always does it What are you talking about? Not always on the road, right? Sometimes they just head right to the plane. Okay, home he always does in the locker room road. Definitely. Yeah, okay, unless it's the end of the season. Good question, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:40:29 I did listen to it, and he didn't have much to say, though. He said it was, you know, one of the best games of Dax's career. It was funny because he said, did you see him walking with Guyton? No. Like, he was walking to the tunnel with Guyton at the end, and somebody was like, what was that moment like? Well, you know, Guyton's a second-year player. he had a really rough you know first year actually jerry said that jerry's like well he had a rough year
Starting point is 01:40:53 and i just wanted to tell him like how how great he was tonight and it's it's about progress and who knows but i literally had just hit enter on the pro football focus grades and he was the lowest graded player in the game all players wow uh whether it matters or not but i just don't know that jerry live like really could give you a whole lot on the game no it's tough for anybody yeah Let alone... Coaches say I need to watch the film. Let alone Jerry is sweet with all that's going on. He's made it. Guyton is turning the corner.
Starting point is 01:41:23 Yeah. And now so Guyton will be getting chewed out by whatever his offensive line coach this week. And he'll be thinking, well, what do I care? Jerry patting me on the back. The big man loves me. Trayvon Diggs. First of all, he was playing, which is incredible. After the offseason, after the rip.
Starting point is 01:41:46 him when the season started and then after you know everything everything that went on with his training and then all of a sudden he's back and he's actually on the field and week one not week five you know yeah and then he left the field did you hear about this blake no during the weather delay they had the cameras on him pads are off and he was walking to a suite and the report was to go get some uncrustables. Oh, okay. That's where that came from? I heard about the uncrustables.
Starting point is 01:42:25 Yeah. Yeah. The Cowboys ranked pretty low when the athletic reported on uncrustable consumption by week by NFL team earlier this year. Did they actually list that? Yeah, yeah. They did a survey of how many boxes or I guess just how many uncrustables
Starting point is 01:42:43 they eat a week. Who's number one? Denver. really running away with it. Really running away with it. We talked about something on the stream that I don't know if we got right, but I had never heard this before. You guys were saying that Roosevelt's out.
Starting point is 01:42:58 Yeah. Are you aware of that? Well, he's not around. Yeah, he's been out for a few years. Two, three. Yeah. Because BL texted me after the whole thing and said... He would know.
Starting point is 01:43:13 He saw Jerry with Roosevelt like last. year no here's how I know because Jerry did a oh a few years ago yeah it's been a few years because Jerry was telling a story years ago because I thought you were talking about Rowdy didn't one of the Rowdies get busted for scalping tickets maybe but I don't know okay I only know rowdy likes to go see tities and have his water going no I don't know but Rosebell's been going but but he was scalping tickets Yeah, that I've heard. Because I was searching online for that today.
Starting point is 01:43:49 TC may have just said something that nobody has reported that we all know on the air. Oh, okay. All right. But he's already done it, so I don't, I don't know. Okay. Note I had from the game, let's see. We talked about the taunting. Oh, you might have yelled this during the game last night, too. On the Jalen Hurts' second touchdown run?
Starting point is 01:44:13 so Cowboys get two touchdowns Jalen Hertz gets two touchdowns kind of look like Jack Sandborn could have the quarterback running thing is a weird bit just because you're always afraid because they can slide
Starting point is 01:44:33 at the very very last second sometimes you're afraid to launch at a quarterback but I don't know if you can watch that play real quick right now again but I don't know. I just felt like... I did look at it again this morning,
Starting point is 01:44:46 and I wasn't as mad about it as I was last night in the moment. Okay. I mean, I feel more for like... Was it Blankenship or was it on Ferguson? Yeah, Blankenship. That sucks. Because there's just nothing you can do about that. That's the way the game is now, and that's fine.
Starting point is 01:45:02 But if you can make that throw and you can catch it, you're going to have a clean shot at it, or you're going to get a penalty. There's no way to separate him from the ball. without committing a foul. Yeah. Which is just what it is, because otherwise you can, you know,
Starting point is 01:45:18 kill somebody. I was glad. But, you know, that could happen with lightning. I was glad there was twice where I thought there might have been a late hit out of bounds on Hertz. And they didn't call it? No.
Starting point is 01:45:28 Yeah, one of them was Kenneth Murray, I think, maybe. Yeah, maybe. Tomon Clark. If they're going to do a point of emphasis, make that one. And really, that's just because Mahomes rubbed their nose in it. Sure, yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:40 It was dancing on the sideline. so much that they clearly made a DVD of it and sent it around. Mazi inactive. Yeah. Yep. If you can't cut him, I guess do everything else. We want to talk about grades.
Starting point is 01:46:01 I think Kenny Clark did awesome. It seemed like it. The Eagles' yards per carry when he was on the field versus off is a stark difference. They say running between the tackles was whatever 1.6 yards of carry It felt like it
Starting point is 01:46:16 It felt like the only reason They were able to run the ball Is if Sequan broke a tackle outside Or the inevitability of Jalen Hertz They said during the broadcast Last night Philly has the youngest defense In the NFL Jeez dude
Starting point is 01:46:32 Which is Just goes back to more of a You were just talking about how great their GM is Yeah they have a ton of draft picks like you say 15 in the next two years it's something like it's the 12 13 it's a lot it's more than way than everyone else yeah 12 wouldn't be more right 12 in the next two years would be no it's next year they have oh one year insane number of things oh okay uh I guess I keep thinking of the cowboys keep saying we got four number ones in the next two years which is it's something
Starting point is 01:47:04 um okay couple game audio this is Collinsworth So it's not even after a Saquan run. It's the White Clemson player. But this is just Collinsworth. My title on this is he thinks football players are big. And a first down for Will Shipley, the second year back out of Clemson, with the back end of a blowout NFC championship game win over Washington. Had a couple of really nice runs, including a touchdown.
Starting point is 01:47:37 So, you know, he gets a nice run. He had good blocking in front of him. Okay, that's what you're seeing. I had a couple of really nice runs, including a touchdown. I don't know what you do. When the Philadelphia Eagles get off the bus, everybody except Devante Smith. I mean, it just looks like big time wrestling or something coming off the bus. They are just big and tough.
Starting point is 01:48:01 Fuck yeah. No, hell yeah. I love it. It's just like... Not like when the Browns get off the bus. They're all like little mini. It's true. It's not a good point.
Starting point is 01:48:09 They have squeaky voices. It's not a... a good point to compare to other teams and how the Eagles stack up, but if you're telling me that announcing is just going to be a guy being like, fuck, they're big, that's awesome. That's not bad. Listen to this one.
Starting point is 01:48:24 Am I up too, Blake? This is just Collinsworth excitement. Down for the Cowboys. We're playing some NFCs football right now. That was awesome. Yeah, that was awesome. Those guys, I love it.
Starting point is 01:48:39 I love how much he loves ball. or at least that he says he loves ball then you see Blake sees him in the bathroom after the game he's like ah this sucks he just uses all of his energy on the broadcast this is only week one oh my god I love how he singled out Devante Smith yeah he's a little fellow
Starting point is 01:48:55 dude they're also said that scrawny ass and then this is my only other one I don't think Terrico's good I'm a harsh I'm a harsh guy I don't actually think he's bad he's a haircut he's pretty generic and there's something weird about a guy who's that generic being that freaky?
Starting point is 01:49:15 Like, that kind of makes me intrigued by him. But he's still boring, right? Well, or is he funny? Because he thinks he is. Harts to Berkeley again. Open field, forget about. Sequin. Howard's through to the 18.
Starting point is 01:49:32 Big up with me. Always wondered what it'd feel like to be, Dron Bland, in that situation, and looking at Sequan Barkley coming out. at you. Such a rare combination of a guy that can beat you with his moves. And if all of a sudden you're playing his moves, he can run right through you. Do you want to try? No, no. Okay. I just the way you said it, I thought you were interested in that. Oh, no. There's that third and two. Are people telling him he's funny around him? They just don't have. Like, I get why people tell athletes that.
Starting point is 01:50:11 yeah somebody's telling him yeah that sucks they just don't they they don't have chemistry no and i think when he first took over he was trying to channel al michael's and he still has a little of that inflection in him he's trying to he's he's a bit of an al michael's copycat and he knew al and chris got along well but it just doesn't mix i don't know anything about uh like science like when i go to the museums and stuff with my daughter that are for kids I learn stuff every time that is for kindergartners. So I don't know the word for this, but there are guys in entertainment. They're whatever the chemical is that literally can't mix with anything else.
Starting point is 01:50:53 And I think Jim Nance and Mike Tariko and certain guys are so fucking weird and just like elite and you can't approach me. There's no way to have chemistry with them. There's just not. Like Joe Buck is like water. I feel like you can put him anywhere. and he'll probably figure it out and make that guy comfortable. And, you know, even though he's making $20 million a year,
Starting point is 01:51:17 he's going to make you feel like you could chill. But Torrico's where... Torrico, it's like a quarter-zip type vibe. Sorry to anybody in here wearing one. But you know what I'm saying, right? Like there's a stuffiness to it that is... Nobody can do it. I mean, it's Collinsworth.
Starting point is 01:51:34 He should be able to figure that out, but they can't. The third member of their crew, Melissa Stark, which did bring about an interesting question of, what are we going to call them if the straps are thicker than spaghetti? I propose Pappardell. No, wait. You said... First I went fettuccini straps. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:51:54 Well, you know how I introduced you guys to trying to eat your own ear while broadcasting the other day? Dude, I was thinking that when watching her in the first half. This is kind of what it sounds like. Melissa. Yeah, Mike, Jordan, Milada laughed as he told me his feelings were split 50-50, that the Terspers wasn't banned this season, saying I want to run it, but at the same time, I don't, because it's really hard.
Starting point is 01:52:15 He acknowledged that the sheer mass on the offensive line is a huge part of the success, but that running it two, three, four times a game is taxing. He said, have the camera zoom in on my face after the fifth time. You'll see my excitement. We got three to go. Run it twice. Got it both times. Actually was a good report, though.
Starting point is 01:52:36 22 of 24. And I mean, he's a dude, he's right there in the middle of it. wait who'd she say was 22 uh that the they got 22 of the 24 needed votes to ban it they so they didn't ban the tush push oh and she's talking to the eagle's offensive line and even they're like this we we'd need to stop this like he wanted it he wanted it to be banned that's like a huge pain in the ass for them to have to do over and over and over now this is my ender I don't know what happened here um Blake can maybe help us understand these things as a season goes, because I think there's stuff behind the scenes and broadcasting.
Starting point is 01:53:14 There's got to be an explanation for it, but for us it just sounds funny. Collinsworth just kind of disappears. And Braden Mann, try to play keepaway with Cavante Turpin, the uber dangerous return man for the Cowboys. Wow. Yes. Wobbler, tough to catch, Terpen. How weird is that? Generally a point where...
Starting point is 01:53:45 You don't hear broadcasts often just... Color commentator, yeah, not just says yeah, or wow, but... The Uber dangerous return man for the cowboy. Nothing happened. Wow. Like a yes, last year he led the NFL. An all-pro guy using the UFO is just a couple of... Wobbler, tough to kiss his turpin.
Starting point is 01:54:07 Just nothing. Can't get his hands on it. I don't know. He's a little bit of a space cadet. Got to have somebody in his ear. I was curious. Maybe that was after the, if it was after the delay, they could have been figuring out
Starting point is 01:54:19 whether what breaks to hit or something. I don't know. But no, no explanation for why. You never just stop. Even if someone starts talking in your ear, you finish your thought. So that's weird that he did that. Well, it's easier said than done, too.
Starting point is 01:54:30 Well, yeah, for sure. But he's been doing it for a really long time. And then I got another little bit of audio for you here. This is, if you can find it on social media, over the weekend. It'll probably be served to you. Michael Irvin is now doing like a 20-minute YouTube after every game. He's got his own studio. Well, he did it last night, but that's what I guess what I'm saying. He's got what? Studio capable now. He's got like a couple guys, I would imagine. He's got a staff. Yeah. And his studio's at his restaurant. Yeah. So. Where? Miami?
Starting point is 01:55:02 No, like Addison, Frisco. He knows here, man. So he goes and does, you know, he interviews. you jerry up there he went on after micah so last night he just sat down and started talking he started out with like a denny green impression and people kept telling me like hey you got to watch this whole thing you got to watch this whole thing i'm 10 minutes green the viking's coach yeah he's like we are who they thought they were it's just irvin being irvin but then here at about 13 minutes into this he kind of jokingly suggests that myel sanders fumbled as a double agent Because he used to play with the Eagles Yeah, he's joking, but it's Mike kind of being funny
Starting point is 01:55:44 And then it just gets really off the rails So enjoy some Mike I always tell you, each of us Have at least two of us And all of us And some people even have more But Okay
Starting point is 01:55:59 Each of us have two of us In all of us Yeah, I'll back it up even more if you want to see So we each have two personalities You remember Right, but some of us I didn't tell Lauderdale Mike to shut up right that's, did you hear what he said there? He's calling himself Lauderdale Mike, which is what we used to call that guy over there.
Starting point is 01:56:20 And he goes and do a thing where he's like there's Lauderdale Mike, which is Fort Lauderdale, Mike, like growing up Michael Irvin. I didn't tell Lauderdale Mike. Lottredale Mike. Right then. Because Lauderdale Mike, but not me now. Not me. You know, I always tell you all, each of us have at least two of us and all of us. And some people even have more.
Starting point is 01:56:47 But when that place happened, he didn't cut back. And then a few plays later, he fumbled. A lot of Dale might try to take over. You know, that Joker that grew up in the ghettos of Lauderdale. you know the suspicious Mike there's a double agent here
Starting point is 01:57:11 what's going on everybody's trying to get what's going you know what do you okay so you can see I love it doing some theatrical it goes on
Starting point is 01:57:19 like gummy thoughts it really does yeah it really does and the end of it I gotta give you he knows how to go viral but I feel like
Starting point is 01:57:29 if he just set with a camera on his face for a minute at any point of his day it's like man did you see what Michael Irvin did. So at the end of it, he's trying to get
Starting point is 01:57:39 across the message. Doesn't want the Cowboys to get confident over this. Stay hungry. Mr. James. And you got to look strong, be strong. But you know what he felt like. And I want him to feel that way.
Starting point is 01:58:02 Because I know what he'll go do next, but I feel very hopeful. Okay, Michael Irvin is turning into the Joker. What he's doing at this point, he's getting close to the screen and putting his finger over his lips and just going, I feel very, very hopeful. need them to hear this. We don't need them to hear this. We want them to be hurt. Dude, I can't tell you how... He's like laughing maniacally and he's like getting real close to the camera. Like, don't tell them. They can't know. They're good. It's just basically what I wanted my whole life in media was just Michael Irvin.
Starting point is 01:59:02 anything that happens, a button on the TV, that any situation just turns it into Michael Irvin. And now, he just sits there and it's recording. The Michael Irvin channel? Dude, it's insane. The video... Like, if you program AI Michael Irvin to react to whatever news story... The night of the election...
Starting point is 01:59:22 Oh, my God, he's freaking out. It'd be great. It'd be so funny. I mean, I don't know, it is kind of a visual thing. And immediately, all the comments are like, Mike, you back? on the, but I think he's just like this now, so we're 0 and 1. I know, it feels, doesn't feel weird? It feels super weird.
Starting point is 01:59:41 But it was the defending Super Bowl champs, they're really strong. Now how is, they turn around and get. Now, how is O and 2 going to feel? You'll be examining week one again, that's for sure. Well, and that's the thing, though, if they squeak out a win against the Giants. Went to win. No, you'll feel pretty negative. You'll feel like, oh, man, I thought this team was.
Starting point is 02:00:02 lot better than this. No, I'm not there yet. To be, don't, if I do, call me on it. I'm still in, this is the part of the, listen, I hope everyone here knows. I said to these guys a month ago, and they're like, the Cowboys are going to suck. We're trying to pick what games we're going to do for the streams, and they're like, why are we even doing this? Not that far, but, like, I am a Cowboy fan, so I told them, here's what's going to happen.
Starting point is 02:00:29 They have a soft schedule up front. they have to win some games first for this to truly fail they have to get to eight nine and three or four go into December and then lose four or five and get eliminated in the first round that's the way of being a cowboy fan you guys are making it way too easy by just saying they'll be bad that's not how it works there's going to be a climb you'll get hope almost everyone in here at some point this year is going to get hope
Starting point is 02:00:57 It will also be quickly, quickly doused in the first round of the play. But you know what I mean? Like they're going to get to that point, I feel like. That's how it's set up. The marketing part of it. They have shoddy now. I'm fired up for him. He's got to feel awesome today.
Starting point is 02:01:19 And I saw him up there with his little shit-eating grin yesterday. Like, I don't believe in moral victories. We're like, literally no one believes that your coach moral victory. And that's okay. Moral victories are cool. That's a stupid thing to say you don't believe in. It's just emotion. The thing is, too, though, I did talk about what if this was the way?
Starting point is 02:01:36 What if a true player's coach? Because it feels like shoddy is that. Feels like they're going to be as good as- I think if you're playing paintball with your coach, then you are a player's coach. Yeah, but like this is a coach made for Micah. If there is one. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:01:52 We don't know that that exists. But if there is one. Do you want to do any news? What's our time situation? I want to make sure we get our bros and they could hang out for news or if there's a today... Well, we're going to do today in history and stuff for sure. Yeah, we can hear a little bit. You want to do a few minutes of news, then today in history, and then we'll get our bros on during that, shall we?
Starting point is 02:02:14 How's the grub? What'd you have? What'd you have? A sloppy wand? It's amazing. Fuck, I love hot dogs. Let's get that going. Which one?
Starting point is 02:02:35 Okay, let's see here. You guys love when the police do bits? No. Some of my favorites are tailing a minority in a lower-income neighborhood around the holidays, pulling them over, putting them through a traumatic experience, and then being like, but we have a turkey, and filming it. or what was the... That's a great one,
Starting point is 02:02:56 but it does happen and it's really, really dystopian. South Lake one. That was a different one. It was just, it wasn't that dystopian. It was, uh, we're turning 40.
Starting point is 02:03:07 Or the Fort Worth, Kendrick Lamar one. That was so bad. That's arguably one of the worst pieces of content ever produced. The chief of police of Fort Worth rapping they'd not like us. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:03:18 Yeah, that was terrible. The Southwick one was just the, we're turning 40 for Davis Boulevard. when it went from 30 miles an hour to 40. It was like a lordy, lordy la Cousy. Nobody throw anything. That's pretty good. I love it.
Starting point is 02:03:30 It's kind of awesome. That's cute. Well, last night, as we had a crime committed in the first 10 seconds of the game and assault, the Irving police decided that they needed to pop out on the legality of spitting. The penal code here. Irving Police Department Texas Penal Code
Starting point is 02:03:56 Spitting On a person is considered Assault Is considered assault Is Have you We didn't talk about this last night Have you ever
Starting point is 02:04:08 Spit on or Been sped on Have you ever spit on anyone? Like in a sexual way or If that's where you go first I was thinking more of like the two fucking gladiators like last night Oh
Starting point is 02:04:20 No none of those ways though i thought you were talking to you're dirty boy of course of course horny amy he he was like yeah he's like hell yeah i've been spit on him good grief now this guy had his nipple rings ripped out once by his wife so who knows what sort of haven't done spit stuff swap and spit you know what i mean bro god that's gross why do we have to i mean i'm not like anti-kissing i'm pro kissing but it's a disgusting thing if you think about it like what What are we doing? You're like, that has to be, how do germophobes deal with that?
Starting point is 02:04:57 Yeah, you're right. It's obviously no problem as a feral human. Yeah. You're right, you can't think about it. You've got to think about the end result, the prize at the end of the time. Is that what you do? Yeah, like look where this could go. Hey, Blake.
Starting point is 02:05:14 Fight through this. Can you teach us about TikTok terms? Do you feel like you're still in that lane? Well, I'm getting phased out in a hurry, but I'll try. No, I didn't. I just see these headlines on, like, our local news sites and just like, hey, they do it every day when there's a new one. And I'm trying to suss out a bit. Like, are you good enough to if I said, hey, what do the kids mean when they say six, seven?
Starting point is 02:05:39 Is it by you hanging out in Argyll, like with high school kids? What are the high school girls like these days, Blake? I don't know Transition layups That's all I really know Girls High School basketball I don't know Do you want me ask Henry
Starting point is 02:05:55 No no no See that's the thing Is I feel like Henry will He will know But I feel like I have enough Henry After last night Oh did Henry not do well Henry was electric
Starting point is 02:06:07 In his own way He got progressively drunker Throughout the game What? He's supposed to be working He was with his boys In his apartment Dude
Starting point is 02:06:16 He will find any excuse to drink. If you... He's a college kid, dude. If you haven't listened to it last night... Blake didn't go to college, so he didn't know. Last week, oh, this week we're playing Kansas. Next week, we've got another... It's always something with this kid.
Starting point is 02:06:34 Yeah, you might want to listen just last night because he doesn't understand the concept of, like, monitoring the chat. And that was kind of the only thing that he was there to do. And then Clayton's yelling. on at him. He's all nervous. Yeah, that was great. I heard Jack had a jab at him. That was... Sure. Anytime you get the
Starting point is 02:06:52 intern crabs in the bucket, let him crawl out. You know it's football season because we had a shooting at a local sports bar last night after the game. Nice. This one occurred in DeSoto around 3 a.m. That feels like a bet payoff to me almost. Not getting shot at
Starting point is 02:07:10 a bar, but like having to go watch, Dan having to go watch a cowboy game at a super crowded bar, frankly the type of place where somebody might get shot and stay there until 3 a.m. You'd rather do stand-up comedy, right? I'd rather broadcast for 24 hours. There's a payoff.
Starting point is 02:07:31 Was that something that you guys, or maybe people in the room, like always heard, when I was a kid, it was a thing that there was no crime during cowboy games, and that there was, like, it It was better for the city economically if the Cowboys won. Like, there's some sort of, like, it was probably like... People are happier. WFA or somebody got, like, one professor to do one study. And I sort of, I ran with that forever. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:08:04 I don't want to do anymore. Okay. Yeah, I don't want to do it. The dumb zone is... There's, uh, there's... On the heels of hot car death news. yesterday if we just keep it moving that was good news
Starting point is 02:08:20 the hot car death do you see with Yuri what is the that's my computer sorry do we see Stu around here anywhere we text Stu to get our guys can you do that we got some guys going to join us
Starting point is 02:08:37 for for today in history right now though we can start with a little viewer male birthdays What do I have? Where is it? Gosh darn it. What is this song?
Starting point is 02:08:54 It sounds really familiar. This is cold music. No, it isn't. We've used this for something. For something. What's happening right now? Do you not like it? No, what is it?
Starting point is 02:09:05 I need to know what it is. We just did an iPhone update on our show. We got a new theme. Okay, but we've all heard this, so where did we hear it? We had on our show like many, many, like over a year ago. Pop! Wait, play from the very beginning? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:09:21 Is it? Yeah. Hold music for Spectrum? It's hold music for something. I just was doing viewer mail birthdays. Do you want no music during it? No, we can have music for sure. That song, though, is known by some...
Starting point is 02:09:35 Okay. I don't have a copyright word. I will stop this music if it's really going to destroy... It clearly is distracting you. I'm good. Oh, you put a baby. What a baby. I'm not a baby, you're a baby.
Starting point is 02:09:58 Now there's no music. Dear Daniel Hotmail, Keith from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, writing you from a third world email address to wish my big brother, West Stevens, a happy Jerry Robinson with the Raiders' birthday, which I only know because someone else, used that on Tuesday this week, and it was number 57. Deep cut.
Starting point is 02:10:20 Last year, I told you he gave me my Dumb Zone subscription for Christmas. Good gift. And that elicited a what a guy from Jake. Well, he did the same thing this past Christmas. Great Christmas gift. Let's see. Beehive member. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 02:10:41 Being super gay is space. I love my brother. Happy Birthday Wes from Wes's brother Keith, possibly Australia's only D.F. Love that. Just a couple of buds, brothers, lifelong friends. Hey Blake, this was sent to Blake. Can you all give a shout out to my husband, Aaron?
Starting point is 02:11:04 He's been an avid dumb zone fan since day one. He's celebrating his 44th birthday Saturday from Elizabeth Switzer. P.S., we met you at the ACU basketball game in Abilene a few months back. Wow. Nothing is more Blake. They drove into town to, yeah, see me when we were doing Lady Eagle basketball out in Abilene.
Starting point is 02:11:25 That is beehive as head. They came in just to see you. The people driving to watch Blake do women's basketball. Yeah, they gave me an Abilene Wiley T-shirt that I've worn a couple times. Good people out there. And, oh yeah, they give me a gift card for coffee on the way back. Those are great people. Okay, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 02:11:41 What was that music? We moved on. Hold, I'm just real quick. It was just a bed. Somebody sent me a bed a long time ago, and I made it, and I, I, I, I'm asking you if we can figure this out. Do you, did you recognize that? Immediately when he played it, I knew I've heard it somewhere. Play from, is it the very, man?
Starting point is 02:11:58 Can the, can you guys hear this? Okay, it's not planning through there. That's what I needed to find out is if they could hear. You know, no one's ever happy with the speakers. You've heard this? I swear I heard this on hold this morning. Oh, wait. It's the ad on YouTube for the T-HC drinks.
Starting point is 02:12:24 An ad on YouTube for what? Or when they pop up the survey, the YouTube survey? That's what I was going to say. It's the YouTube survey music. Yeah. Like when YouTube goes to some screen where you're... Yes. You're going to have to prove this by finding that.
Starting point is 02:12:39 Okay. And then we'll compare it. Okay. I wasn't mad. This was a bed. Someone sent me like two years. ago, I copied and paced it over and over. I don't know how this turned into.
Starting point is 02:12:48 And you're like, I'm just trying to figure out where did I hear this. I think I once used this, started to use it to play for something on the show like under a commercial and you thought it was too happy or something. Okay. Got it. It's fine. I was probably not a happy person. You yelled at me today.
Starting point is 02:13:04 So I'm sorry, pal. I'm sorry. Okay, we're good. We need some sauce. Will you pay back, pay me back by coming over and swimming with me. Dude, I want to come swim with you so bad. I had a guy. It's like 90-effing degrees outside.
Starting point is 02:13:19 Why don't we take a dip this weekend? I ran into a guy like at Kroger or something. He said he'd swim with me. Dude, that's all. Let's go swim a dance house this weekend. Let's get one more dip in. Dear Daniel, day one number 511 here, it is my Andrew Kirillenko birthday.
Starting point is 02:13:34 I once smoked a cigarette with Jake outside the chat room for a blowout event. So I have that going for me. 47. My heroes are Jake's post-sobriety, teradactyl laugh, run the ball Blake, and Jeff Kala, D.F. My zeros are Nico and feline middle managers. Love you, boys, from at P1 gooner.
Starting point is 02:14:00 I was so happy the other day listening to the ticket that they say gooning on the air. Those little pockets when you know that yours is a word that you shouldn't be able to say on the radio or whatever. What is gooning? Masturbating. Oh, sorry. Is it a kid right? I don't know we were doing family-friendly today. It's Friday at 6.30.
Starting point is 02:14:21 Yeah, bro. Dear General Bunt Custer's last stand. Jeez. Today is the Harry Carson birthday of the great Jeff Kagle. Without whose sage advice, I might never have sampled young Dan and Bob's fine radio work to many years ago. His leader is Dan. His kids and his money go to Oklahoma State. He's still one of the best fighting farmer wrestling.
Starting point is 02:14:43 to single it up. More George, more Caitlin, more T.C., more Clayton fast food news and reviews. See you at the Rangers Garbage Time game with my court bag of Carbonara. Yo, phenomenal play. Rumor has it that I'm sitting with Heppala, Mooney, and Stubbs. Love, Beehive, Authenticated Members, Number 58. 0.008 Philip T. Kingston. Wow. Esquire.
Starting point is 02:15:19 YouTube survey ad music. Oh, that ain't it then. No, that's obviously, I know that one. It's something. Clayton led me astray with the YouTube thing. Once you shazam it. It's hold music. We'll find it, though.
Starting point is 02:15:38 Well, it's never going to be used again. That's for damn sure. Dear Uncle Spluge Sprayer, today is my cousin John's birthday. His leaders are Dan and run the ball guy. My leaders are Dan's old salmon farts and Sarah Heppela's left milkshed. Hey, Blake. Why specific, yes. Did you ever put on a singlet?
Starting point is 02:15:58 Did you ever do wrestling? No. Did you say you tried it like once? It just felt... No, dude, I wrestled for a whole eighth grade. Photos? God damn it, I hope, man. I would love to see Little Danny wrestling.
Starting point is 02:16:11 I was definitely 10 pounds of whatever in a 8-pound sack. Yeah. Like it didn't fit. God, it's like the worst uniform to look awkward in. Like some guys were awesome. Oh, yeah. They were hot. We had females in our high school that were destroyed.
Starting point is 02:16:29 Like, why do we all have, what are we doing here? That's a masculine. I won one wrestling match. Boy. Because. Assuming you did many more than one. Yes. and it was a forfeit.
Starting point is 02:16:43 And so it's really, when knowing the guy that hasn't won a wrestling match gets to go out, there was no one at my weight class, so I walk out and I got to wear the whole thing, though, and you walk out.
Starting point is 02:16:54 You have to go out in the middle so they can announce it and then hold your hand up. And I'm all, I didn't want him to hold my hand up because then all my, it was horrible. Like, it's a terrible, terrible memory.
Starting point is 02:17:04 They couldn't let you like pin a doll or something? That's so, that's tough, bud. But look at me now. Daniel, just want to wish my friend Jonathan, Aldi Aldrich, a happy birthday. He's a founding member of the East Dallas Boozehounds, which is a team in the Oak Cliff Sandlot League. All around good dude. This is Will from East Dallas.
Starting point is 02:17:27 Great dude. And then I have Dear Daniel, we splash the gash with our presence at Nomad Grills. Please give our DZ pal. Oh, this is another one for Aldi. This is from Dallas, Josh, Patty, and Floyd from Oak Cliff Sandlot. So there you go. And now, this. Flooring directs DMW presents on this day in history.
Starting point is 02:17:59 Do you want to know about this music? Come on down. We were going to have a couple guys come by. Did you tell Stu to bring him over? I did. Okay. Did he just ignore you? Give me a thumbs up.
Starting point is 02:18:14 All right. Well, if Victor and Mark want to come by and join us, they can. If not, we're doing a program here. Today is Friday, September 5th, and this is a little today in history. Let's see here. Can I get a pre-kin check real quick from Blake? No game? No cowboy game Sunday?
Starting point is 02:18:37 I have a kid's birthday Sunday morning. Fantastic. Where should these guys set up? These are the guys? Just got a mic and one. We'll get another chair. Want to get that headset? Sure. Or this one? We can just slide it through there, right?
Starting point is 02:18:56 Uh... You think this is well put together? No, I don't. Well, I thought when we... Anyway, it's first. Friday, September 5th. What are you doing? You got a kid's birthday party to go to?
Starting point is 02:19:10 Yeah, but this, no, this is not a listener. This is a real one. Just a real kid? A real one on Sunday morning. That you won't be real, it won't be awkward? It might be more awkward. Because at least the listeners... Because he's going to load up a bunch of Tupperware, that's why.
Starting point is 02:19:26 No, I mean, listeners, like, we have stuff to talk about with my friends. I don't know what they do. They don't know what I do. Also, like, your friends now know that you're like a mercenary. And so you come into their birthday It's like, oh, I mean, you do this for strangers So what's really the No, my friend don't know our bit
Starting point is 02:19:45 Oh, that's probably, yeah I never think about that Yeah What do they think you do? They don't know I'll bet you if That's for the best If people ask him at a party, he says
Starting point is 02:19:57 I'm the producer for the Cowboys Radio It's easier to explain There's no doubt Then I'm the producer for the dumb zone The what? Well, it's a thing. It was like the what? I did say something about DZTV recently.
Starting point is 02:20:15 Okay. Like rather than saying that... That's a little more... We have a podcast. Used to be sports radio. Now we're called the Dumb Zone. It's kind of a funny name. It's just...
Starting point is 02:20:22 I produce a TV show for KDFI 27 in Dallas called DZTV. We're on every night. Week nights at 9. The Dumb Zone. There you go. Joining us now, Mark and Victor. Mark from Lone Star. Victor from Nomad.
Starting point is 02:20:36 Yeah. Thank you guys. Appreciate the hospitality. Thanks, guys. It's an amazing place. What's up, guys? How are you doing great? Had a lot of Lone Star last night during that game.
Starting point is 02:20:45 How many? Yeah. Personally, or just our whole party? Our whole party had, I don't know, a couple cases. It was crazy. Good numbers? Lonesart light or Lones side are reds? I'm a blue guy.
Starting point is 02:20:57 Okay. That's the red guy over there. This guy right here. Nice. Hello, Blake. Okay. It's impressive. You look great.
Starting point is 02:21:06 Thank you. For being a man on Reds. Anyway, we're going to do joining us for today in history, and then we'll do closing remarks. Are you cool with that? Absolutely. Or do you got stuff to do? What are you doing out here today?
Starting point is 02:21:17 Just do it. Trying to hang out with you guys. I'm going to win a boot. Oh, that's right. Are you doing the watch party tonight? Yeah, absolutely. I'm still around. So on this day, in 1698,
Starting point is 02:21:32 Peter the Great, he was the, leader of Russia he imposed attacks on beards what damn if you wanted a beard to cover up your tariff if you will
Starting point is 02:21:45 perhaps a tariff on beards I think it'd be worth it I would pay to be able to have this beard to cover up what's underneath this beard you don't want to see it yeah but that's funny though because now you have to put an actual value on your beard and if you know your beard's kind of shitty and you're like I don't
Starting point is 02:22:01 know that I want to pay for this but it's the value of the beard versus your face. Yeah. Is your free face better than a $10 beard? And I would say no. It's kind of a flex, right? Not to have a beard. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:22:15 Like, look, my face is good enough not to have to cover it up. Yeah. On this day in 1836, Sam Houston elected as the first president of the Republic of Texas. You're damn right. Chad, Sam. On this day in 1961, JFK, the president,
Starting point is 02:22:36 signed legislation making aircraft hijackings a federal crime. Before he was just frowned upon. Yeah, that's... It's on the wrist. Yeah, it's a good move. All right. Trying to deterrent, right? Look, they won't stop, so let's just up the...
Starting point is 02:22:57 We'll make it a really harsh penalty. I mean, we can write them a ticket. This day in 1989, Dion Sanders, who was the fifth player selected in the 1989 NFL draft, was playing for the Yankees and hit a home run as they beat the Mariners at the Kingdom, 12 to 2. Five days later, he returns a punt, 68 yards for a touchdown in his NFL debut. Absolute beast. He was incredible, man. Specimen.
Starting point is 02:23:31 How old are you guys? 31. 37. Okay. I watched prime time on television growing up. Yeah, so did I. And then seeing guys like Bojax and crossover and do the multi-sport thing was just quite something. Yeah, he was...
Starting point is 02:23:46 His hair was incredible, too. Yeah, I've told these guys before, everybody wanted to wear a dew rag under their helmet when I was a kid. So much so that they had to ban it in the league. And looking back, those parents must have just been terrified. Every kid showing up with a... They kind of banned anything black people would do, right? Yeah. Black players?
Starting point is 02:24:05 It tend to, yeah, tend to go that way. On this day in 2020, a wildfire in Southern California was caused by a smoke-generating pyrotechnic device used during... A gender reveal party. That's right. Yeah. That might have been when America jumped the shark a little bit. Did you have that?
Starting point is 02:24:27 gender reveal party that's a dumbest thing you've ever asked well he does all the he does the couple shower right but i i guess it's just because i know i know the degrees that's to get free stuff yeah would you go to someone else's gender reveal no if they invited you a listener no but like almost everyone in here i have a bounce house i would say people my age is going to have a couple shower not everyone's doing a public gender reveal that's a Agreed. Smaller slice of... Like, I didn't do that.
Starting point is 02:24:56 I don't know. No, I reveal my... I think it needs to go away. I'm not on the side of having a gender... Let it. Open the envelope. Breathe the sex. Is it because you believe there are not just two genders?
Starting point is 02:25:07 And it would just be too difficult with all the... There's just such a stigma around what could go wrong. Yeah. And it's like it's not worth it going viral over finding out you're having a boy. And then you're... Everyone's like facial expressions on the camera. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:25:21 It was... We did it the worst way. was we got nothing out of week we just did it for our parents like they didn't know and we didn't know but we should have known and then like introduced it to them if they wanted to be surprised me being surprised with them is a weird bit i also think if social media wasn't my moment if instagram or tic talk wasn't around nobody would bat an eye at gender reveals or making an actual event yeah that's probably true it's all look at me that's probably true but if we were to think historically, I bet that, you know, they would all stand
Starting point is 02:25:53 around before the queen was having a baby, and they're like, all right, when it comes out, let's see what this is. Pop that balloon. What's the future? King or not? That's kind of the old gender reveal. Viginas. Let's have a gender reveal party here at the alma. I'll do it.
Starting point is 02:26:10 I'll do it. Thank you. Red Lone Star for a girl. Blue Lone Star for a boy. There you go. There's a birth canal. One famous wedding on this date in 1997, Larry King, TV host. Man, one of, I want to say eight marriages, but it was six women. He married. This was his seventh and final marriage.
Starting point is 02:26:33 He was 64. His wife? 38. 22. Yeah, Blake's closer to right. You're right, 38. Hey. His wife is 38.
Starting point is 02:26:44 He married her in a hospital room in Los Angeles. So I don't know if he was, like, going under something. something he ended up dying during their divorce proceedings it's one of my favorite it's one of my favorite divorces of all time because they had been married he was married to her longer than any other woman like 20 years or something he's been married for two years five years back with this lady he got married to her found the one made it for a couple decades and still at 81 was like I can't do it anymore right we're getting divorced as I die I can't have her here and started
Starting point is 02:27:19 proceedings. That's insane. 80 year olds want to be married to have someone to die with, yeah. Do you all think his goal was to get divorced before he died, so she would get zero to nothing? Yeah. Less. Well, considering it was his eighth marriage, I'm hoping he
Starting point is 02:27:36 was like, you know, at least had his eyes dotted on that. And then we have Friday, September 5th, this day in Dumb Zone history. It's a special day because we've never done a show on September 5th. Wow.
Starting point is 02:27:50 So here at Nomad Grills, the first one ever. Hallelujah. Celebrate the tailgate with Lone Star Beer and Nomad Grills. Let's do it. It's a holiday in Texas. We have other birthdays today to celebrate.
Starting point is 02:28:03 We have Leonard Davis, 47. Big Lynn. Former cowboy and Longhorn. Welcome. Colt McCoy. Colt McCoy. 39. Man.
Starting point is 02:28:16 Former Brown. That's right. Daddy. Didn't he beat the Cowboys? That one year? Or did they just come close? How don't we call them? With the Browns?
Starting point is 02:28:26 No, with the Cardinals. Lincoln Raleigh? 42. Talk about it. Drop off. Just a complete script flip. The former coach of Deuce Robinson. Deuce Robinson.
Starting point is 02:28:44 Rod Barajas, 50. Rod Barajas. Braha. Also 50 today. We've mentioned him already. Randy Chote. Future guest. October 27th, 2014.
Starting point is 02:28:57 Colt McCoy started for the Cardinals and won 20 to 17 in overtime. Going 25 of 30 for 300 yards. 2014. Yes. The Cowboys at the time were 6 and 1. Yeah, that was the good year. They went 12 and 4. One of their losses was an over.
Starting point is 02:29:17 overtime lost to Colt McCoy that year. And an overtime loss to the Houston Texans. So they lost four games. Those are two of them. Isn't he the one that Musburger is like his daddy? He was born in New Mexico, but his daddy sprinkled some of the Texas dirt under his crib. To make sure he was a Texan. Pretty awesome.
Starting point is 02:29:39 He's got some nice tits. Pretty awesome. I love Brent, man. Now we got Herbie. Stupid dog. Dog. Tell me how good we did. Brent's looking at the ladies in the stands.
Starting point is 02:29:54 Like, that's what we want. We don't want to look at the dog. MacGonez is 27. McCorkel. We wanted to look at the dog. We'd look at her wife. Jacksonville? Where does he know?
Starting point is 02:30:06 He was Jacksonville. Well, we were in Jacksonville. I can't remember where he went. That seems right. Chris Young is 42. the hitter, Chris Young. Oh, not the general manager. Remember the hitter, Chris Young?
Starting point is 02:30:22 He was going to wield this thing to the playoffs. The Arizona. With a K, yeah. Yeah. Not a K. That's Chris Davis. This is another Chris Young who's almost played the exact same years.
Starting point is 02:30:34 It was just two years off. He was like an Arizona center fielder. Nobody knows Chris Young? No one could ever. I'm sorry. I vaguely remember this, yeah. He had a 16.6 war. so it wasn't just a spare
Starting point is 02:30:47 is that better or worse than our Chris Young is the question yeah better or worse I just realize I don't know as much as I thought about Chris Young or Chris Young's baseball career he was tall
Starting point is 02:31:07 why no yes he's very tall still is still is tall still is quite tall I go better you think the Hitter Chris Young is better than the pitcher Chris Young. You would be wrong. The Rangers pitcher and current GM had a 17.6.
Starting point is 02:31:27 Are we in a game show lull culturally right now? Oh, no. Rob Lowe's out there doing shit. I know the square's out there. Yeah, but it's not good. I don't know. It seems like it kind of comes and goes. Hadn't had a hot one in a minute. Price is right is still thing.
Starting point is 02:31:42 Oh, institutions stay insuff. is stay institutions. Oh, and what's his name on Channel 27? Steve Harvey? Dude, I'm watching that every night. Yeah. He's great. That show is all.
Starting point is 02:31:57 You guys watching? Are you watching bald, Steve Harvey? Or like with hair, Steve Harvey? No, bald. He's currently hosting the family food. He's been doing it for 15, 20 years. He's awesome. He's, to me, the Go TV host.
Starting point is 02:32:08 That show's great. Yeah. Like, I love it. Great mustache. And he's all, like when they give a dumb answer and he's just staring at him. What's you say now? Could you wear his wardrobe?
Starting point is 02:32:22 I would love to wear his wardrobe. Wouldn't you love to see me wearing it? Yes. Sideline reporter Jenny Taft is 38. The A-A-G. Werner Herzog is 83. Movies. Grizzly man.
Starting point is 02:32:40 Director Dennis Dugan is 79. He directed Happy Gilmore and many Adam Sandler movies. What was the name again? Dennis Dugan. I feel like I would know that. Michael Keaton, 74. Greatness. Batman?
Starting point is 02:32:56 Kent Stater. You know who Dennis Dugan is, Blake? No. What you just said. No, that's actually not. He's the guy who wants to get happy, like, or Billy Madison. No, happy. I think, like run from the tour.
Starting point is 02:33:15 The bad guy. Shooter? No, like the guy from the tour. The guy who works for the tour. The guy from the tour was pro-happy. Ratings are through the roof. But he kicks him off, right? Has anybody done that yet?
Starting point is 02:33:29 The second one? Have we actually taken the plunge? Should we? I did. I said the first hour and a half is good. Yeah. The back half sucks. So there's like all the animation and stuff.
Starting point is 02:33:40 Yeah. Animation? The green is like spinning at the end, right? Whenever they get to the new golf league, is when it gets bad. So the fact that the movie is more than an hour and a half, I think. It's a long movie. It came in really good, though. It started strong.
Starting point is 02:33:52 Yeah. Starts strong. Or if it has the actual dynamic of, like, the program of golf in the movie is just. No, I said, I watched it in two halves. The first half was great. The second half was horrible, but I feel like the movie premise was started with, hey, let's make fun of the PGA versus Live. So they had to close that door.
Starting point is 02:34:11 But the first half where it's reintroducing, happy and all the old cast of characters was fantastic. Are we doing spoilers or can we talk about it? You can talk about it. What was it? Like a year ago? A month. No, I've more meant the idea of like the narrative integrity of
Starting point is 02:34:25 Happy Gilmore. Well, there's a... Let's not reveal any canon here. Well, when his wife dies, she gets hit in the head. What? So that's what I said. Happy Gilmore kills his wife. Yeah. But not
Starting point is 02:34:42 Not everyone remembers that in the first one. He says, like, at one point, like, you should not be with me because everyone around me keeps dying. Oh, yeah. And she died. That is canon. And snap hooked a drive and hit her in the dome. I like it.
Starting point is 02:34:55 It was a smoke drive. Deweasel Zappa is 56. Yeah, I never got all that. Frank Zappa's kid, right? Or brother. Daughter? Grandkids. No, that's a son.
Starting point is 02:35:08 This is a heart attack man question. That's his son. Do we need to do a gender reveal? Oh, the daughter is... Moon beam. Moon unit. Moon unit. Yeah. That's his daughter.
Starting point is 02:35:20 Yeah. And our dumb zone birthday of the day is Rose McGowan. It's 52. Why? Because if she was better at it, he wouldn't have had to remove a rib. Hey. Yeah? Enough. Like that?
Starting point is 02:35:36 I liked her quite a bit. Jawbreaker, great movie. She's creepy odd. Yeah. Creepy. I think she probably accused Marilyn Manson of some nastiness. I know, hey, are you sitting down? Maryland, man, wait.
Starting point is 02:35:53 He was all freaky and did stuff? Dude, sometimes. Even your heroes. Born on this day now dead, Bob Newhart. Blake. Didn't one year we just learned that Blake had no idea, just... Who Bob Newhart was? There was somebody like that, right? Oh, yes.
Starting point is 02:36:14 Like Andy Griffith, he never heard of or something? No, it was something. Was it George Burns, who I thought was from the Simpsons? Mr. Burns. And Freddie Mercury. And then dead on this day, still dead. I think we have a Kemp spin on this person. Mother Teresa.
Starting point is 02:36:35 Yeah. She has her critics, folks. She has her critics. Many say that she denied those in need care because she was actually okay with them dying once she converted them. But, that's not very cool. I wasn't there.
Starting point is 02:36:52 She was just collecting, snatching, and then fingers over the eyes. X them out. I got that one. Put it in my pocket. What's the stat that negatively weighs passing yards, like when you have a big deficit or whatever? Yeah, it's like a EPA.
Starting point is 02:37:08 Yeah, she's skewing the numbers. These are low-leveraged. souls. This is garbage time saving. All right. That's what happened on this day in history. That was fresh. All right.
Starting point is 02:37:25 Now I got a new music bed for closing remarks. Yeah, what is it? Closing remarks now? A little bit. Where we will talk. Oh, see you later, Ham. Have a great weekend. All right.
Starting point is 02:37:36 Thanks. Do you guys hate this music? It's good. He hates it. I can't hear it. I'm going to check the tape and see if I even indicated displeasure. It's not like you're on hold or anything. Could you hear it in yours?
Starting point is 02:37:50 A little bit. Oh, it sounds like you're on hold? Yeah. It kind of, okay, I won't play it anymore. One other person. Just saying, maybe a little like... Yeah. We'll use that.
Starting point is 02:38:03 Yeah. Here's our whole music right here. You like the whole music? You've heard this one, right? Yeah, this is... Oh, man. What does it sound like? It stretches me out a little bit.
Starting point is 02:38:13 He's criticizing your speaker. There's a mic in your hand. I can't crank the speaker. It'll loop. I'm sorry. Okay. This is the DumbZone version. Okay.
Starting point is 02:38:30 Anyway. Well, thanks for having us out, guys. Lone Star Beer and Nomad Grills. It's been a pleasure. What a combination. Thank you guys. We've been in business for quite some years together, so we appreciate you guys coming out,
Starting point is 02:38:44 having a good time with us. Yeah, Stu from Rivian said he used to work with the Nomad guys more, or what? We did some events in the past, and we have mutual friends, you guys being in them as well. And I don't know, we kind of crushed the events, and we work really well together. And, you know, we have more coming up as well. We have a big one, October 25th called Camp Nomad,
Starting point is 02:39:06 and Longstar will be here in Rivian as well. It'll be here. What's that event called, Vic? Camp Nomad. It's year four, and it's basically our annual barbecue block party. And we close down the street, and we get like 20 more brands out here and live music. It's in Bishop Arts? It's here.
Starting point is 02:39:22 This place is amazing. Thank you. Yeah, it's turned into like a great event space, and we didn't really realize that until, like, maybe year one. Like halfway through the year that we just moved into, we were like, we should have parties here. And, yeah, so we, we throw this party, and it's been great. You know, last year we had 3,000 people here. And, yeah, and, you know, we have live music, and we bring in some, like, really talented chefs and pit masters
Starting point is 02:39:47 that will showcase, like, all their skills and the nomads, and they cook really good protein from, you know, like, Wagyu beef, and you name it. And so it's a really fun party, and, yeah, we're excited about it. And, honestly, me and Mark did it for year one for the first time. And now, yeah, we're going into year four. You don't even think about, like, all the offshoots. We talk about, like, all these news stories of, man, everybody's eating so much protein.
Starting point is 02:40:11 You don't even think about the offshoots of that of like the guys who make great portable, easy grills. People... That's got to help you. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. I mean, every good grill needs a good protein. Absolutely.
Starting point is 02:40:24 And a good beer. And a good beer. Why not a Texas beer, right? Yeah. Texas grill. Why not, Dan? I can't come up with an answer. I thought it was sitting there.
Starting point is 02:40:35 Why not me? Kind of a rhetorical question there. Who here is actually a... The biggest griller, though, of everyone. It would probably be me by default, but I've gotten back into it quite a bit over the last, like, six months. Nice.
Starting point is 02:40:47 I have just, well, I'm not going to give you, but I have a basic, pretty basic setup. I'll go into it. I want to know everything about your grill setup. That grill's pretty kick-ass. That's like some people's fantasy team? Yeah, yeah. Just the grill that is like a suitcase
Starting point is 02:41:00 and you just carried around? Yeah, yeah. Like here, it's my grill. Yeah, it pops up. It's all like overbuilt. It's all anodized aluminum, cast aluminum. It won't rub. bubble or chip and that's kind of the whole point of it is you know most of those
Starting point is 02:41:13 grills out there that are portable will crap out after your first season of use or you kind of forget about it and you don't want to use it again and the nomad kind of you know goes above and beyond in that space and it's incredible you can take it anywhere and you know we've used it on the road but a lot of folks use it in their backyard too and they found like use for it with their family at home and it's a heck of a thing one of my favorite memories with nomad was We were on the Lana River one summer. Oh, yeah. And we put a nomad on a canoe, and we went canoeing down the river.
Starting point is 02:41:47 And I had a drone overhead. That's right. Capturing the most beautiful photo, video of grilling sausages on the lawn of... On a canoe, on the Lana River. I think the most Texas thing I've ever heard. I mean, honestly, like, if we probably should... Dead series. You'll probably cry.
Starting point is 02:42:02 It's just, it's a beautiful... Beautiful site. You'll cry. You'll definitely cry. But it's a great machine. Can't say enough great things about it The fact that it's mobile Mobile is awesome
Starting point is 02:42:14 But just it's power of grilling And getting the job done is great Yeah, go Rangers Oh, it's a good rip-core Just pull it, go Rangers We're both Rangers fans Where's the watching party? Right outside
Starting point is 02:42:29 Oh, okay Right outside on the patio Where the beer's at One of those beers is getting a little limp You got to pump that thing up Oh no, the wind blew it down Oh yeah No, I'm talking about the big inflatable beer
Starting point is 02:42:37 The big inflatable beer. Yeah, now we'll have the game on. That's right. Take that beer can to Game Day men's health. If you're... Somebody get that beer pill. If you're falling a little limp. Or just get them out of you.
Starting point is 02:42:51 So October 25th, you says. Anything else you guys want to... October 25th is Camp Nomad. It's a free event. That's another thing. So you get free booze, free food, amazing hang time and live music. And see the product in action.
