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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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?
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?
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.
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
Thank you
Yeah
Kit Cat I guess
How quickly did you walk away
Well not
Not quickly enough
Yeah yeah
He had his shit
Yank
He got his change
Snatched by John Blake
Media relations guy
Well the guy next
He was next to
Duane Wise
Journeyman Outfielder
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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...
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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?
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
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
Jalen Carter, sorry.
But that was their point of emphasis
in the off season.
Kill me.
Bingo.
Kill me, bingo.
Sorry.
I, we've...
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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,
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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?
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
Spitting
On a person is considered
Assault
Is considered assault
Is
Have you
We didn't talk about this last night
Have you ever
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
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?
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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?
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
Okay.
That's the red guy over there.
This guy right here.
Nice.
Hello, Blake.
Okay.
It's impressive.
You look great.
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?
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,
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
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
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.
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,
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...
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.
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...
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?
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?
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
He was 64.
His wife?
38.
22.
Yeah, Blake's closer to right.
You're right, 38.
Hey.
His wife is 38.
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
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
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.
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.
We have Leonard Davis, 47.
Big Lynn.
Former cowboy and Longhorn.
Welcome.
Colt McCoy.
Colt McCoy.
39.
Man.
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?
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.
Rod Barajas, 50.
Rod Barajas.
Braha.
Also 50 today.
We've mentioned him already.
Randy Chote.
Future guest.
October 27th, 2014.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
That's like the main thing.
It's like, you know, come see the brain.
brands that we love and enjoy working with, but also see the product in action.
And it's here in the neighborhood.
And we love our neighborhood here in Oak Cliff, Bishop Arts.
They've been great supporters.
And so I guess one last thing is like, yeah, thank you to everyone.
That's been able to get us here to this point.
Yeah, real quick before we sign off, Lone Star just announced our camera partner for the year this past week.
Poncho outdoors, go check them out.
Austin-based clothing brand.
They're awesome people, awesome group.
We've got camera boxes coming to shelves at your local H-Bs and Walmart.
here very soon, probably than this next week, I would say.
So it's going to be a fun hunting season.
We're excited to get busy with a great partner like Pancho,
and Vic loves Pancho.
It's just a great brand to be around.
Are we a partner with them?
Yeah, we started working with them.
We have a promo code.
Can I use it, or is that stuff on your time?
Absolutely, they're the best.
Panchooutdoors.com slash Dumbzone.
I bought this one because they didn't have the buttonups yet,
but the design on the back.
A shirt rocks.
It's a cool shirt.
I'm wearing it, so it would have been weird.
It's a, yeah.
Everything about you school, dude.
But, no, it feels like it's, I don't know,
it feels like the brand collab thing
is happening a lot more now.
Absolutely.
And I love it, you know.
It's a big thing, yeah.
It's kind of, you know.
Skor Rangers.
Flip biscuit and DMX or.
It's like Dumasone and Nomad and Lone Strat.
That's probably better.
Dumbstone, Lone, Pancho,
there you go.
There you go.
Bribian, Lone Star.
You think Blake will,
you think Blake will make it home tonight?
He just pull up Lone.
limp. You look, you look faded, dog.
I don't know. Someone get him a pill.
He looks. Oh, you're about to do a high school football game.
Oh, my God.
Wait. Do you think he was going home right after this?
I did, because he has. I'm going home right after this face.
Didn't you go there and set up your equipment already?
Yeah.
So the second we sign off here, he's scurrying over to a high school field.
You're calling a game tonight?
Where are you going?
Middleothian.
Oh, Middolothian.
Is it just Midlothian?
No, it's like 30 minutes.
But he's country.
When it's stuff like that, trust them.
You throw another syllable in there?
Mid-O-Lothian.
We've done this.
It's Mid-Lothian.
I've always said Mid-Lothian.
Mid-Lothian?
Mid-Lothian?
Yeah, not Middle-Lothian.
We just don't want to embarrass you on the broadcast.
Dude, if you're trying to be young Craig Wade and all this Texas high school football stuff, you need to get in line.
I'm not.
I'm behind the scenes.
Are you trying to be that wacky guy?
Like, who's the ESPN guy that does the...
What is that guy's name?
Remember him?
Skar Rangers.
Oh, okay.
This guy is seriously trying to shut us down.
I think he's closing us down.
So thank you.
Thank you, Nomad.
Thank you, a long start here.
What a week.
Adios.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you to the Dumbzone.
