F***ing calm down, Greg. It's soccer. It's soccer. Yeah, I guess we have kind of a yay boo on our hands because we didn't get the World Cup Final. So that's pretty great.

The boo, there's still going to be a bunch of soccer fans. Now we've got like nine games. Yeah. Yeah, I know it's been here once before. I think that was the year that Alexi Lawless was on the team, scored a big goal, and they had denim jerseys. But I don't know that, man, the way that this place is now, DFW being a hub, it's going to be insane, Dan.

By the way, when I bring up denim jersey, it makes me think, because I'll forget this if I don't bring it up now. Cuban has got to stop wearing those Mavs football jerseys. Why? I hate them. It's marketing. I hate those. It's marketing because I want to dress like Mark Cuban.

No matter what he's wearing, I'm putting it on. It's the dorkiest look in the world. It's a football jersey, But it says Mavs I think we had a suggestion Somebody And I think Raymond might have done this Over at E6 Sportswear They're putting together some

Dumb Zone Ranger jerseys And Dumb Zone Mavvs jersey like in their fonts okay ty is working on that in fact raymond emailed us that uh we have new shirts added to the e6 sportswear.com site that are available now two new shirts and then i don't even know what they are. So this is good promotion. But I do know a bunch of new shirts that are the pizza-related shirts with the pizza font. Your Pizza Hut. Those are fantastic.

Your Papa John's. Yeah. Your Little Caesars. Thank you. You didn't want him to leave that one out? No. It's the king. Yeah, so there's a pre-sale

that goes until the 18th. In every order, you will qualify to win a big prize. I think he said also you get two free items with every order. Yeah.

How about that? How about that? Hot and fresh. Yeah. It's a pizza. There's Raymond always working on something. I mean, I like all these, but that dumb zone Pizza Hut thing is just... It's perfect.

It's a chef's kiss. It's perfect. So, yeah, we are broadcasting live to tape from high atop my garage in the DFW area. So that's why we're talking about the World Cup today. I spent all morning. So I haven't seen you in what seems like years. You were gone on Friday. Lots happened over the weekend.

I had, you know, yesterday afternoon thinking I had a certain vision for what today's show would be. And then it totally changed because they had a big giant World Cup press conference. And it's hilarious. I have so much audio from it. We're not going to get to it until after our guests. That you also Sunday afternoon informed me that, hey, also we got these two guests have shown up. So that's great.

Yeah, I'm excited. It's going to be a big day. Pat Mahomes, trainer. Yeah, we've had Bobby Stroop on before. He straight up moved to Kansas City so that he could be there whenever Patrick needed him. He's basically on call. I think Patrick moved him up to Kansas City. Yeah, I think that's probably a better way to put it, but yeah, they, uh, he, his brother worked there,

Brandon, who will be on us also, uh, on with us also. They used to run a gym. I think Brandon actually still does run it, but they sold anyways over in Fort Worth. And, uh, I used to go there like four times a week for just like the skinny fat adult classes. But I wasn't aware when I signed up to go there that they were also training like Noah Sindergaard in the background. And then Patrick Mahomes. And it was like, he's like, oh, yeah, we have a combine course. Like we do four weeks and you would just see like elite first and second round picks like walking in there at the same time as me and some mom from a Fort Worth Christian with a Stanley Starbucks cup.

This makes no sense. And then, yeah, I think Bobby's been training Patrick since he was single digits maybe? Eight, nine, something like that. I mean, they've known each other a long time because their original spot was out in Tyler, which is where he's from. What was the doc?

I've seen him in some documentary. It was the quarterback. I think that's all they called it, right? Netflix. Yeah. The Netflix quarterback show? Okay, yeah. Kirk Cousins, yeah.

I think we never really got into that, did we? Because I remember marking some audio. Y'all were busy. We were a bit busy. Was it lawsuit time? Yeah. Oh. Yeah. We were a bit busy. Was it lawsuit time? Yeah. Oh. Yeah.

I watched a couple of episodes, and it's good. I think, as Blake said, it makes you hate the fact that you kind of like Kirk Cousins. Very likable guy. But yeah, I think they have an interesting perspective on Patrick and his whole deal. Speaking of lawsuit time, we were talking a little business talk off the air. I think we're going to focus on, we're taking a week off in March,

but we don't want to have a week off of content. So we're talking about trying to produce extra content throughout the weeks leading up to then. And I think a lot of people are, and I know you don't want to talk about it at all. You're like, you're a positive person extra content throughout the weeks leading up to then. And I think a lot of people are, and I know you don't want to talk about it at all. You're like, I really don't. You're a positive person and you look to the future.

I try to, I have enough problems without. You don't want to dig up things of the past, but I do think a lot of people were anticipating, Hey, once this six month fog lifts, you're going to, the dog just took your napkin.

Oh, literally. Oh. Literally. Moron dog. He literally... Here, boy. There's not even any food in this. He likes to pick up stuff and just rip it apart. Asshole.

But he's pretty cool about it. What do you got now? It was really funny to watch. He literally just slowly took the napkin and it was I've relived that was life imitating

art. Imitating life. Imitating life. I don't have anything else. What do you want the headphones now? Someone like you. Juan Gonzalez in Detroit. Maybe we weren't talking about it on the station earlier. I don't know. Well, we talked about this.

As I said, we talked about this before the show, how we would handle. We've dealt with every possible scenario except for that one. I thought there's no way that happens again. Yeah. Wow, that was again. Yeah. Wow, that was awesome.

So yes, back to the week of spring break. Oh yeah. So we're going to produce some content that is related, like solely related to that and put out some special shows. In fact, I think

that's where our lawyer roundtable should be because it's going to be tough getting all the lawyers up here. We might have to go to them. I would imagine that will be the case. We'll go record a show in Dallas, get all the lawyers in, the transcripts. We'll go through it. We'll look over the lawsuits. We'll talk about all the contractual stuff back and forth. We should open it up and give some people what they want. They want to know. And I think we'll do that. And even the lost episodes.

The lost episodes. We need to address that somehow, too. Because, you know, whatever, man. Right? Remember whatever Jake from last week? Yeah, and I'll still be whatever Jake and be edgy. But I just don't want to – I'm so over all that. I'm so – I mean, it's all anybody has wanted to talk to me about

for almost nine months now. It's just like, geez, dude. I feel like I'm finally coming up for air right now. And then Dan calls me this morning. He's like, hey, I got a great idea. Let's do eight hours on everything related to the ticket. I'm like, I get it. I do get it.

But, yeah, it's spring break week for most people. So whatever that week is, like the 13th, I think, of March. That's why I'm going out of town. The week of the 11th. Okay, there you go. And it turns out, yes, that is spring break week around here, and that might mean we're going to have to get a sweater. Head to France to visit my daughter, who's there,

who went to Belgium on Saturday. Oh, yeah. And I thought that's like a big trip. No, she was back in her bed that night. Yeah. Did she fly or take the rail? I don't know. Because you can fly for, I don't know.

I saw her on, find my phone. It used to be when I was over there, you could fly country to country for like $50. Huh. And obviously it's not that long of a flight. But you can also take the train, and the train's pretty sweet. So going to Belgium from Paris is like us going to Austin? Or is it even like... You know what?

I'm not actually sure, but let's see. Are you checking her location a lot more now that she's not home? No change? Just if I want to get in touch with her to see where, you know, oh, she's at her apartment, so maybe we could talk. But she's generally not at her apartment. Seems like she's pretty busy. Austin sounds right.

Feels like I'm home more than she is. I actually wasn't sure where Belgium is. Excuse me, where Brussels is within Belgium. But, yeah, it's a three-hour drive. Okay. Man, I cannot tell you how excited I am for Dan Sees Europe. The real fear I have. The content we're going to get out of that is going to be electric. The fear I have is the time change and my fragile body adjusting.

That's going to be real tough for you. I do think it will be because I'm, you know, I got trouble with spring forward and fall back. Yeah, you're screwed. So if we're going seven hours difference. I mean, the advice people always give you is do not do what you want to do which is when you get where you're going you want to sleep and it's probably going to be a middle of the day maybe early morning probably not early morning six whatever don't just go to sleep immediately think yourself, I've got to stay awake until I would normally stay awake

or close to it. And it's very hard. Because when you do go to sleep, you're going to sleep for like 10 hours. Can you sleep on the plane? You can. You can. That helps for sure. But I mean, some people can't do that.

But just him in France, like, I i don't know that's very exciting to me yeah i need a lot of pictures need a lot of selfies videos and this is not like an insult i think you would agree with me on this you just kind of laid it out there you're very much a this is the way that i want to do things. And this is what I expect, the way I expect them to be done. And in my experience with international travel, and at times it would drive, it would drive my wife crazy. Cause I have a little bit of that in me. And she's like, you're just going to have to go with the fucking mode over here. Like it ain't going to be anything like you think it's going to be anywhere we go. Like, and you're in their

world now. So you can't expect the waiter to act the way you want them to be anywhere we go. And you're in their world now. So you can't expect the waiter to act the way you want him to act or anybody, really. No matter where you go, it's like you just kind of got to give up or you're going to have a bad time. Yeah. I don't want to have a bad time.

You want to address some of the viewer mail? Oh, why don't you just tell... How about your trip, though? Let's talk skiing. Sure. Jake's ski trip. Jake's first of, what, seven ski trips you're doing this year? You just told us about, like, two other ones.

One other one. Oh. That one is all the families. Like, literally probably 20 families. The board calls you. He got on the snowboard. Oh, it be calling you? Yeah.

That one's going to be an absolute nightmare. Because both kids are going. Everyone's kids are going. So what is this? Families who? A bunch of our friends and extended friends. Oh, okay. But in this one,

kind of like you did in Galveston. But unlike in Galveston, we had a horrible time. Yeah, you said it was the worst. We have our own, I didn't say it was the worst. I think having that many kids together,

that part kind of sucks. In this case, everyone has their own little small condo. Like with two bedroom, What do you do a tiny baby in this situation? Well, there are women going who do not ski or snowboard and their kids will be there and it's going to be a challenge for sure

because as i remembered it is a nine and a half hour drive we were an angel just that yeah we were an angel fire um we're going to red river here in a couple It is a nine and a half hour drive. We were in Angel Fire. It's just that. Yeah. We were in Angel Fire. We're going to Red River here in a couple months. And these are pretty cheap trips. And this one was really cheap because my friend's parents bought a house at Angel Fire.

I got a buddy, Blake. So we don't have to pay anything for that. And there were six of us. And we left at like 5.30 on Thursday morning and I have a real problem with motion sickness probably addressed this before when I'm on a long car ride

especially if I'm driving I'm fine but if I'm in the back seat and I don't want to be a jerk on the way there, I'd be like, Hey bro, can I get the front? He was already sitting there. So I was just like, all right, we'll fight through this. And I didn't take any motion sickness medicine, the Dramamine. And at about hour six or seven, my stomach was going on me. And I had a bag with me that I had some other snacks in. I threw up in that. Then we pulled over about an hour later so I could throw up.

Actually, you know where I threw up? The next time I threw up was at the dispensary, like out back. So probably four or five vomits before we get to the... Four or five? Yeah, I mean, at that point, most of them... Because I wasn't eating anything. How about after the first one, you're like, can I get the front seat?

You clearly see that I... It doesn't matter at that point. Okay. And also... Well, if I knew this was in my game, I would just tell people, I need the front seat. The other thing I was thinking was... And it's a friend of yours. It's not like

people you don't know. I know. He would have done it. He did it on the way home. Yeah, I'll bet. I would have felt weirder about throwing up into a bag or like a jacket in the front seat as my buddy's trying to focus on getting us up the mountain. And he's looking over like, what the heck is happening? So they didn't want

you driving because it would have taken an extra two or three hours? For sure. And also, I'm a below average driver. That doesn't fly up there. I mean, you need to know what you're doing as you're ascending up to a mountain, you know? So when I got there, I was like, all right, everything feels like I got it all out of my system.

I'm good to go. Stomach doesn't really hurt anymore. Made an ice water and a cocktail. And I had about one sip of each before I ran to the bathroom, ejected that, and then was pretty much down for the count. You know, I hung out a little bit, but at that point I'm like, I'm exhausted. I'm dehydrated. So I spent most of that night just sipping water. Cause if I took too big of a drink, I would throw it back up. Cause at this point I'm like I'm exhausted I'm dehydrated so I spent most of that night just sipping water because if I took too big of a drink I would throw it back up because at this point I'm dehydrated from throwing up so much for motion sickness and I can't keep anything down

it's weird when you're super dehydrated you can't just like guzzle water I'm sure you've seen this in like being on sidelines and stuff like you can't do that I'm sure you've seen this in, like, being on sidelines and stuff. Like, you can't do that. Yeah, that's why they... Give you an IV. Yeah, that or, like, you know, those little... Tablets? They have these little packages now that are just, like, basically pickle chips.

Yeah. That, yeah. I've heard about that. You just eat a couple pickles. It's like when they liberated the concentration camp or whatever. If you're starving, you can't just go ahead and pound food. Yeah. You're like, no, no, no.

Exactly like that. We have to feed you very slowly. They're like, whoa, wait. I'm dying here. Yeah. And this was Guy's trip, right? How many? There were six of us.

So I didn't sleep at all Thursday night, literally. I was awake the entire night. You don't sound great now. It's just my throat now yeah but on uh on friday peak throat everybody yeah everybody or the four people who do ski they get up and go at you know 8 30 and i'm like man i cannot do this right now um i didn't sleep at all but i had already paid for a day of rental which is not that much and I'm like you know what I got to try this I felt like absolute dog crap but I'm like I gotta try it I'm here you're a gamer let's

go the thing that people forget about skiing unless you have a ski in ski out situation you are going to be very tired by the time you get to where you're actually going to get on a lift. And that's a long walk from the car. And even in snowboard boots instead of ski boots, you're carrying the board, you've got so much junk on you, and it's just uphill. Yeah. You know, for 15 minutes, and I get to the bottom and I'm like

I don't really think I should be out here right now. There's no water in my system. The altitude gets to you. The altitude for sure. But I was like I gotta try. I gotta try it. So I went up and I threw up

off to the side on the first run and now I'm like alright we're out here. So I went about an hour I threw up off to the side on the first run. And now I'm like, all right, we're out here. So I went about an hour, maybe, plus or minus 10 minutes, and was just like, that's it. I'm done. I'm not having fun right now. So why stay out here and just do this? Who am I proving something to?

Like I gave it a shot. Now were you able to get back to your place? A buddy of mine was already there because he doesn't ski. It's actually the guy whose house it is. He just sits at the bar at the bottom the whole time. The guy who owns a house in a ski place doesn't ski? No. Okay.

He just comes out there around noon, whenever we normally are out there, and he just posts up at the bar, gets himself a sandwich, a beer, and just waits for us to be done. And that guy has the most fun. I was going to say, that sounds like the role I want. He's not. He's just doing a little doobage. I feel, you know,

you're always feeling good. Yeah. I didn't break a leg. No. No. You got to walk in your shoes up there. good. Yeah. I didn't break a leg. No. No. No. You got to walk in your shoes up there. Yeah. Yeah. So then, yeah, that night, we get back to the room. We all had a beer there, have lunch, whatever. We get back to the room, and we fire up the TV, and there's like an hour of Lethal Weapon 2 on.

Excellent. Left. There's an hour left, and a couple people hadn't seen it. We were like, oh, sit down. So we watched the rest of Lethal Weapon 2, and then we were like kind of in the mood. Is that the one where they had him tied up and they're shocking him with the water on?

Okay. That's one. No, I thought you were talking about with Leo. No, Leo. Okay, then that is one. Okay. Because two, there's a water element where they're torturing Leo, Joe Pesci. Leo gets?

Where they're using like cigarettes. All right. And then they're like pouring water into his wounds. It's the one where Mel Gibson pulls down a house with his truck at the end. He pulls down the consulate house. Excellent. Have you seen, okay, yeah. We did that in the theater. One of the best nights of my life.

Have you guys seen Lethal Weapon 5? My dad told me to stop after two. No, you need to... The Always Sunny ones. That's what I'm talking about. Like the band. Yeah. They're not on Hulu.

Yeah. I've got them. I know you do. Okay. It's the blackface episode. Yeah. Yeah. So we're in the mood at that point, and we're not really like in a position to –

there are a couple bars, but that's not really the game anymore, especially since it's really, really hard to drive there. So we're in the mood after Lethal Weapon 2, and we're like, what's next? No sports on that night. I'm like, how about Predator? Okay. So now we watch Predator. Because Carl Weathers died that day.

Yes. Yes. Very sad. So where do you think we went next for a little palate cleanser? Happy Gilmore. Happy Gilmore. You didn't know that. He didn't know on Friday that was Carl Weathers. Well, he was trying to tell me he was in Rocky.

He didn't know it was Apollo Creed. Apollo Creed. Cool. That's tough. And then, yeah, he was Chubbs. Oh, my God trying to tell me he was in Rocky. He didn't know it was Apollo Creed. Cool. That's tough. And then, yeah, he was Chubbs. Oh, my God. Chubbs died. Then he got sad.

He didn't care about the Rocky guy dying. And then it's like 1230 at night. We're all just sitting around laughing. And we just got done with Happy Gilmore. And somebody was like, well, why don't we go back to action? What about Under Siege 2? So we watched all of Under Siege 2. We watched...

It was a high-T movie night extravaganza. With a light dusting of Happy Gilmore. The next day, I was just like, I'm not even going to do it. I'm not even going to waste my time. I'm not going to pay for another day of lift ticket and waste my money. So I did a little hiking around or walking around. Dude, I've never seen this much snow in my life. They got something like eight or nine inches in two days.

You would walk out, and you would sink to knee level. So it was hard to even be outside at all. We were snowed in, couldn't leave, had to have somebody come plow it. I have memories of shoveling that as a kid. Oh, yeah. That day, when we eventually did get up there and met up with people, that day ended short because I'm pretty sure my buddy broke his collarbone. Ooh.

He's the, no, I'm not going to go get it checked out type. We were like, dude, go. There's a medical thing right there. No, it's fine. It's fine. It's fine. And the funny part was we all wanted him to take care of himself. Number one. But number two, we were like, you know, they'll probably give you something a little

stronger than Advil. Go up there and just think about the team right now. Right, yeah. They'll give you a bottle of it. Yeah. You mix that with a little alcohol and now we have a night. You'll get more when you get home. Yeah. No, but the last thing I have on this is I think it was on Friday.

Yeah, it was on – it doesn't matter. When me and non-ski buddy were trying to leave to go up there, he was like, we got to wait like 10 minutes. There's a lady from a real estate company or like a real estate management company coming over to just walk through the house and just get a feel for it she's the lady who will be renting this house out when they're not using it i was like okay i'm not in a hurry so she's late instead of 15 minutes it's 30 minutes yeah when she calls and she's like, I'm stuck on the main

road. You don't get stuck on the main road. If you're stuck on the main road, you already got a problem. So we were like, all right, we're just going to go. Well, apparently she got unstuck because as we were backing out, she pulled in and parked behind us. He was just like, dude, we don't even really have to be here. Let's just go. She just boxes in. She's like, hi, I'm such and such. I was like, damn it. So she walks through the house, and now it's time for her to leave. What do you think happens?

She got stuck on the main road? You don't think she's going to get stuck on a declining driveway that you have to... She got stuck. So she has no idea what she's doing. We have to shovel the snow out from under each one of her tires, like very hardcore style. Put down salt.

Like a cardboard box. Yeah. Put it under the tire. And we gave it, my buddy's talking her through it. Hey, cut it this way. A little bit of gas. She lives there. She does live there. Doesn't she have chains? She had Texas plates, but she doesn't. A little bit of gas. She lives there. She does live there.

Doesn't she have chains? She had Texas plates, but she doesn't. Did we see someone with chains? Oh, we had to use chains this weekend. And she's to the point where if she tries this again, she's up against the end of the driveway. It's about a five-foot drop, and you're going to hit a tree. Okay.

So you're like, all right, let's stop this. And I was, my buddy's like, bit the bullet, went with the misogynist play. And he's like, man, do you mind if I try?

First try. Got out of there. First try. I thought you were going to end this with like a penthouse letter. No, no, but it is funny. We all went back inside and.

It is funny um when you're you talk a little different when it's just dudes we're waiting on her are waiting on her and uh she called me he's like uh women drivers i was like yeah i mean we really don't even have to wait on her if she's not hot. She was. She was? She was. Oh. Yeah. So we were all like, oh, no problem.

We'll stick around. Yeah, and she kept apologizing. We're like, it happens. Okay, so that's why you didn't say, hey, pull back out. Yeah, we weren't leaving, okay? She was on the main road. You're all trying to help her. No, no, no. Oh, 100%.

We were just like, oh, I mean, these type of tires, I can see how this would happen. Yeah. It's not on you. All for what? Yeah. For nothing. Didn't throw up on the way home, boys. All right.

Feeling much better. Good. Okay. You look great. Thank you. When did you get back? Last night at 7.15. How'd the Gamecocks do?

We were off. This guy doesn't leave one minute to spare on vacation, though. Like, I got to get back Saturday so I can have a buffer day, do laundry, all that. He's like, I'll be back at 7. It was like a three-day trip. I mean, you might get a buffer for a week, but you don't need a buffer for Thursday to Sunday. You're a baller, that's all.

And I'm not. Well, I'm slowly dying. But I suppose we all are. Yeah. We could do viewer mail. Okay. If you have a couple things Howdy

Hey everybody It's time to answer Today's viewer mail Wow This was actually As you saw I was taking the The dogs out

Right when you got here And this was on my front porch And I got no like Missive about it This Tiff's Treats Fantastic There you go my front porch. And I got no like missive about it. This is Tiff's Treats. Fantastic. There you go. It doesn't say who it's from. It's just a nice little message for

the dumb zone it says. It says in lieu of Venmo. Sounds like, yeah. Sweet. And I already ate a cookie. You did? I didn't think...

What kind are they? It's a variety. Okay. I might have one. Not typically my game, but... I was about to say, I didn't know if I was supposed to hand it to you or not. Anti-sweets man.

This had come in... So a lot of this stuff is mail mail. This came in a week or two ago. We're just getting so much stuff now. I'm sorry if I don't acknowledge everything we get. But we're just swamped with stuff. We got business stuff. We got seven meetings this week now.

We don't know what we're doing. And we're trying to actually put together a show every day. So I think we're just doing a poor job at all of those things. But this package came in the mail. And this is from... He wrote a lot of stuff, but it's Preston Doodoo Lennertz. Okay. His name is Doodoo.

He wants us to keep fighting the man. And he says, open these in order, Dan, Jake, and then Blake. And I opened mine, and it is a sleeve of Copenhagen pouches. That's valuable right there. That's a lot. Wintergreen. I'm generally a skull pouch guy, but I will try the Copenhagen. Maybe you'll switch.

You're a risk taker. You know what? I am. I'm a tea personality. Oh, looks like I got A four pack of five energies Oh, okay Five hour energy, extra strength You can only do about half of one of these bad boys a day

I have to open this? Yeah It's the punchline What do you think it'll be, Blake? Maybe a TCU bandana? Yeah, I don't know Let's see, you both got something that's pretty Cool for you.

And let me just open up this package to some pads. Maxi pads. Ultra thin. I guess I'm not very heavy. Well, that's good. Light flow guy. Here, open this one, Jake. While I read a viewer birthday, Uncle Hotmail,

Day 1 DF asking for a shout out. I'm 28 today. This is from Phil Zach. He says, more, Blake. So there you go, Blake. See you. That makes up for the pawns. He says more, Blake.

So there you go, Blake. See you. That makes up for the ponds. And he says, P.S. P.S. I, too, have smoked cigarettes with Jake, specifically the patio at Off the Record in Deep Ellum. He did not bring his own lighter, so that was most of the face-to-face interaction. No, he never brings anything. He always bums.

I'm still here. What we have here... That's an actual piece of mail mail. A box. Yeah, a box. There's a small size, fun size bag of Skittles. Okay. And then a...

What would you call this? It's not ceramic. I don't know. What would you call this? It's not ceramic. I don't know. It's a piece of art depicting the three firefighters that were hoisting the American flag up above the wreckage while they were cleaning it up on, I think it was 9-11. Yeah.

It's our own little memorial. It's a beautiful piece. That is nice. Yeah. As we continue to find out about all the different memorials across our beautiful land. I have something on that as well. Let's see. Where was it?

My notes. What? Made in China. That's ironic. It's like a symbol of, yeah, of our... Got, hey bruvs, I was recently Googling 9-11 memorials near me. It's weird that when you do Google, it says like restaurant, gas station, shopping. Yeah. I need to add this.

And came across a business in Dallas named 9-11 Automotive. and came across a business in Dallas named 9-11 Automotive. Luckily, when they changed their name to this in 2014, they were able to secure the available URL, which is simply 9-11.com, spelt out. Let's see. That's pretty much it on that one. And then a lot of people have been reminding us about the 9-11 bar

in Fort Worth. It was right by my house. And I think it was just like the guy had opened the place up maybe that morning. If not that morning, then right like the day before. No, on 9-11. Yes. That was the morning of 9-11, yeah. And he just said, screw it, we'll run with it. And it's now themed? 9-11 themed? It's themed to the extent that the walls are decorated that way. You don't have to dress like a jihadist or a firefighter to attend, but it is adorned with 9-11.

The jihadists would be a weird thing. Like if you get a discount for that. Like wearing your winter jersey. He's got the balls. Yeah. 20% on Sunday. That's what businesses should do. It's like, let's see how far you're willing to go for this.

For your discount? Right. You know, hit stash Tuesdays where you get half off your groceries. What the hell is this? Do you need people to know what I do for a living? I don't. The one time I turned my phone ringer on so I don't miss a call. So I've got a follow-up from Friday where, Jake, while you were gone,

we introduced a way you could check your Dumb Zone subscriber number. That seemed to be popular. We were just doing it through a Google Sheet through the help of Nima. However, a web designer reached out and he made us a website for it. Okay. So if you want to check your subscriber number,

go to dayonedf.com, and you can find out what number you are. So many bits. Say the number one. Yeah, D-A-Y-O-N-E-D-F. Oh, not the number one. No. Okay.

Sorry. You said yeah. You said yeah. I didn't hear what you said. I just said yeah. Spell out day in one, df.com. Okay. That's a cool bit.

If it works, because I got a little backlash off NEMA's program saying, oh, wait, I can prove I'm day one, and this says I'm day two. It's because it ends it like CLB. Oh, a certain time of day one? Yeah. Maybe they should have been sooner. Yeah. Get off your butt.

We even found out who was number one. This wasn't Clayton number two? I'm positive Clayton was number two. We were searching for number one. One of our alternating video guys? Sip of the hat for you, Caleb Grady. So, you know, we're on, and I think this episode might even be on Apple Podcasts and Spotify and...

Wherever you get your podcasts. What's the place? Overcast. iHeart. Oh. So some were wondering, are you guys going to work for iHeart? We are now. Yeah.

Yeah. We're on their app. That's true. I guess so. We're on their app. And it's very important that even if you want to keep listening on Patreon, just do us a solid. Go subscribe on one of those other ones.

Subscribe on all of them. Leave a review of just cool five stars. Someone did reach out and maybe we should have a review contest. Funniest five star review gets to sit in on a show or something. Okay. Because I don't know if you've looked at them. Some of them are really funny. Prove it.

Or have it prepped and prove it tomorrow. If we're not able to do that right now. But speaking of all that, so I was looking at the program that sends it out. There's like one website that will send it to all the different podcast things. And I don't remember if I was looking at that analytics page

or our YouTube analytics page. Because remember, there was a debate about that last week, Blake. You said nobody was listening in Nebraska. Yeah. But apparently,

there are people listening in Nebraska, but you were looking at the YouTube. Yeah. Nobody was viewing it. I don't know. So I don't know which one it is, but it surprised me here.

I was looking that 99.24% of our, again, this is either listening or viewing, don't know, are in the United States. 99%. I would bet that that is viewing. Because even like IJB has 10% overseas, I would bet that that is viewing. Because even like IJB has 10% overseas, I would bet. But we have also had views in Australia, Switzerland, Chile, Spain, South Korea. I think that guy actually contacted us. Finland, the United Kingdom. Is that France? I think that guy actually contacted us. Finland. The United Kingdom.

Is that France? Is France in the United Kingdom? Or is it no? Is the United Kingdom just England? Yeah, it's like England. You say the kingdom. Why would that be part of the kingdom? Is the kingdom... I just...

Europe is France. What? I mean, France is in Europe. If you said Europe. What's United Kingdom if it's not just England? Wales, Scotland, part of Ireland.

I pulled it up. What am I missing here? Anyway, and Singapore. Singapore. Singapore. People be traveling, man. You can get caned for listening to us in Singapore. Also, I don't remember... Dude, I can't tell you how hard the internet is going to love as France and the United Kingdom.

They fought a war. A big one. They're right next to each other, right? They were on board with each other in World War II, right? No? Yeah, that's true. Although Germany took over France, so in theory, France was against...

They're right next to each other, but you've got to do the channel to get over, don't you? I've never been to either one of those countries. But, you know, you've got to go underwater. You've got to swim? It's an island. What are we doing underwater here? You know what?

It doesn't matter. Let's... We have guests. Oh, yeah. SpongeBob doing the Super Bowl halftime show keeps making me think of Dan. Hey, SpongeBob. What are we doing under the water here?

I'll end with this one. Am I a bad person? From Nick. Why do nurses and first responders and teachers get the most random discounts? My popular phone provider gives discounts to anyone with these professions. But why does working a job that you chose merit 10% off at Verizon?

And EMT was not forced into that field. They chose it, but somehow deserves a discount at T-Mobile more than an accountant? Could you open a taco truck with discounts for landscapers only? Whoa. Feels like a good business model, but nurses don't need their phones more or less than anyone else. So Nick wants to know if he's a bad person. They kind of do, don't they?

He's kind of reaching out to the right person. Yeah. Oh, okay. Here. Husband of nurse. Well, I know at least first responders, they have their own, what is it called, FirstNet? Yeah, I have heard of that. Because they need to be reached in emergencies.

And if they're in a place with bad cell signal or whatever, I mean, they kind of need priority there. Well, there you go, Nick. How about a discount on the phone, though? They need the good internet, but, you know. Yeah, they probably don't need the best phone. What's a teacher? A teacher's going to come rescue some kid, so she needs to have the most up-to-date cell phone at all times.

The only reason teachers need their phones to be humming is because all they're doing is making TikToks during the school day. All right, well, anyway, there's today's viewer mail. Yeah, we got a guest coming up, so. The Dunza. All right, little dudes, great to see you out here. My name is Thumper, and I'm going to be your cool ski instructor.

His name is Thumper. We're going to take it slow, take it easy, make sure everybody has a good time, because what is skiing about? Having a good... time. That's right. Now, just a few safety things to keep in mind. First of all, look straight ahead when you ski.

If you look down, you're going to fall. You're going to have a bad time. Also, be aware of skiers around you. If you run into another skier, your skis are going to cross. You're going to have a bad time. So where's the part where we have a good time? Hey, little dude, you got some crap right here. That's my face, sir.

Okay, we're gonna do this without any pulls until we know our two primary feet positions. To go slow, we wedge our skis together in the shape of a slice of pizza. Then to go faster, we put them parallel like french fries. You see that? Pizza, french fries. parallel like French fries. You see that? Pizza, French fries. Pizza, French fries. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. No puppets!

Okay. All right. Not in front of my friends. You did that in front of your friends. In front of the world. I'm trying to move on. Oh, that's right. He doesn't want to look backwards.

That's right. At least he's consistent. Yeah. Yeah. So we're not going to talk court case. We're not going to talk anything happened in the past. We're only going to talk future, like Sunday. Is there a big game?

Well, most people are talking about the fact that we're going to do another live stream. Absolutely. And at the same time, coincidentally, there's going to be a Super Bowl. How about that? And joining us to talk about that, and really, the main thing

they are joining us to talk about is Training Jake. Right? Isn't that what these guys are known for? It's Bobby and Brandon Stroop, who are Jake's personal trainers. Everything he is today is thanks to them. Don't use me as an advertisement right now, but there was a time. There was a time. Isn't that like when my personal trainer was up here

and he's like, no, no, no. Don't publicize it. He only comes in once a week maybe. Yeah. No, but yeah, we've had Bobby on the show before. Brandon is probably my most frequent text friend where we just complain about life. Yeah, I don't even know what I'm doing here.

I don't know why I'm on here. I don't train anybody. I'm just usually like you are introduced to someone's brother, but here we go. We share bonds. I really think that is why we've bonded so much. Famous brother. And just freak athlete brother.

Not to say that Brandon was not a good athlete, but it's just at some point you need to find kindred spirits. But Bobby used to own APEC. Brandon still runs APEC. It's a gym out in West Fort Worth. It's an awesome place. They train kids. They train.

The most interesting thing I thought whenever I first started going there is I wish someone would have taught me the proper way to run when I was like six or seven. And nobody, I mean, they're like just run, you know. And you develop bad habits, which are very, very, for me, were very hard to break. And I actually felt like when I learned how to run from them, I was faster than I was when i was like 18 because i just learned how to do it it's a weird thing to watch like seven-year-olds learning how to run but it's an invaluable skill i think it makes sense but i mean in hockey you learn how to skate first when you when you're on the swim team you have to learn how to swim and then you know everyone we you wouldn't believe the amount

of resistance that we get from coaching speed and things like that because everyone's like oh it's just you're paying someone to run i'm like why why would you not want to learn how to run it's it's it's weird every sport that you're standing up but we're like, we're frauds because we're trying to do speed camp over here. And yet every other sport in the world, you learn how to do the funny little skill first. So Jake mentioned like when you're six, are people bringing in six-year-olds to train? Yeah, so we got programs for kindergarten through second grade and third through fifth and then middle school. And it's not – this isn't like a military program. It's just age-appropriate, long-term athletic development targets with things that are realistic.

These kids need to come and have fun, but we have a curriculum, whether they know it or not. There's loose bullet points and things they've got to do and learn. And things look a lot more like animal crawl patterns different different movement things because when you're young you don't necessarily need to run like you run when you're older you've got there's formation of the foot and different things that have got to happen and so all these nerdy things but but really it's just it's more about just getting the body to grow and neural pathways and things like that brandon's job is to get people in in the groups and then our job is to have the right training for it to work. Yeah, now we do get the parent that'll just say, hey, you know,

I need someone that needs to train like Patrick needs to train. They need a quarterback coach. Who do you recommend for that? And we go through the conversation, and then at the end they'll say, oh, he's seven years old. And I'll say, well, you need to go home. You need to leave me alone. You don't need to do that here.

There's a good way to do that, but there's also a lot of people that reach out thinking they need 40 hours of quarterback training at seven, which is just not what we're going to do. Yeah. That's what's interesting about the Patrick thing is I imagine it's been great for business, but also brought in a lot of people that are really annoying as parents. It's not really that good for business. And this is a crazy thing. I think Dan might like this because it's interesting. And I've heard a lot of his business talks. But basically, when you have somebody like him, it's really polarizing because there's two things that happen. One, there's a group of parents, especially mothers, that will say, will say well if they work with this person why would they care about my kids so then you lose that whole population of people that think that way and then the next thing is i want

the same attention it's he he's getting if i'm not i'm definitely not going there so that's another population you completely lose and then if someone has this type of personality where they feel like they want to be, I don't know, competitive with someone like Patrick, or they they're on a track that they're better than him, then they really rival you and don't want to come to you. And so I don't think that it's really that good for business because you, well, and I know it isn't because if we look at our numbers, I mean, we had guys throw perfect games. We had, you know, all-stars. We had NFL pro bowlers, Super Bowl champions.

When Patrick was in middle school, before he played anything, and that stuff doesn't move the needle more than a couple percent, and it's only for a month or so because the people that are into that, that their IQ to where that brings them in, it's just we're not a good product for them because we're not going to do the same thing. These things aren't realistic as far as time investment, and it just ends up not really moving the needle for the business. The only thing that works is doing a good job for people. A better product for us is a kid that couldn't get off the bench, and then all of a sudden the parents are like, what did he do?

Because nobody thinks that what Patrick's doing has a huge correlation to their own kid. And so Brandon can probably speak more to it, but it really doesn't help. I mean, I turn into a bouncer when he's in here. So we've had people hide behind the car in the way for him to get done training. There's pickleball athletes that will come in and tell me they need their program signed, all kinds of crazy stuff. Breaking in the facility to shake his hand.

What does that do for you with your hand? But logistically, it creates a few issues for us with that. You got to keep it a secret. You kind of want to keep it under wraps so he can come in and work and do what he needs to do because he takes the work seriously. And then the only thing I get to do is make his shakes when he's done. So that's kind of where I am.

When did Mahomes start with you guys? How old was he? He was nine. He was really young wow and uh yeah you don't look that old how old how old are you i'm 43 okay um yeah and i guess i forget patrick mahomes isn't very old either no he's 28 yeah um he's just done so much um and i saw you on the we're talking earlier what's that document i think it's just done so much. And I saw you on the – we were talking earlier. What's that documentary?

I think it's just The Quarterback. It's called Quarterback? Yep. The Netflix documentary. And just, I guess, talk a little bit about maybe some of the different things. It just feels like you have some different, would you say, unorthodox training with him? Yeah, I think it's out of the box.

And I think some people kind of regard me as a bit of a pirate in this whole thing. I don't really fit with the therapists or the trainers. And it's a little bit different. But I think more than anything, since he's my primary focus, it's watching how he likes to play the game. And we've got to come up with ways. I'm not going to change the way he's he's playing this thing so i've got to come up with ways to safeguard him or give him any type of tools that i can to continue to to play it the way he wants to and so i've had to learn the hard way about things that matter and things that don't with him and there's a lot of things that are really unique to his body and

really unique to his style of play that if i don't touch on it on a weekly basis in the season then he's at he's at a lot of risk and so a lot of things that you saw the entire netflix you know production team probably showed up 30 i don't, 20 to 30 times randomly. And some of these times it's five in the morning, sometimes two in the afternoon or late at night. And those weren't scripted. That was stuff that we were doing. I mean, we made a decision, like, we're not going to do anything for the camera in this thing.

We're just going to do what we do. And if they get something that is going to be relevant, that's great. But, you know, all those back bends, all those crawls, all the different things he has to do with his feet and his stretches, those are routines that if he doesn't do it, you can really see the difference on, you know, how he moves and how he plays. And that's how all that stuff came about.

It's not just something like this is what we do. More or less a lot of that was reactive to things that we had to do to either rehab him at certain points or it was a guess at preparation for how he likes to do things. Speaking of the rehab thing, I mean, it must just be constant having to keep him right, you know, through the season. It feels like he's able to do what he does because he's able to fight through injury at such a high level. I mean, are you, how often do you guys work?

Like, is it dependent on how his body's feeling or I don't know. It's just, it's interesting to me how to get a quarterback through an entire NFL season. Yeah. The off season is easy because you know, you're five days a week unless he's gone out of town and you plan,

you plan to work him harder in those spurts where you know, he's going to be missing. But in the end season, we generally schedule, if it's a Sunday to Sunday week, we're going to have an A day, a B day, a C day. So that's going to be your Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. That's going to be, if everything's perfect world, that's what we're doing.

Now when he's hurt, you know, all bets are off and we're going to do as much as we have to do, you know, anytime that we need to do it to get him ready. Like last last year was a nightmare i mean it was an mvp season but you know he had a the first game he had a high ankle sprain on the right uh then he had an mcl sprain he had a fibular upslip which is like not technically a fracture but it's it's pretty intense then he had a fractured left wrist, which no one knew about. I mean, it was on the injury report wrist, but it was a big problem in his non-throwing hand.

He had a neck issue. Then he got hit by Bosa, and he had a back issue. And every week, it was a challenge to be able to sprint full speed by Friday. And then you get to the playoffs, and you guys saw what happened. We couldn't really keep that under wraps. And that was around the clock two times a day. And we knew we had to hurt him more physically to get him ready to play, and we knew we were going to have to fix it in the offseason.

This year is completely different. He has not had anything, knock on on wood that's been a problem it's it it's been there's been other problems that everybody can see right but it's been a way different season from a physical standpoint it's been a dream it couldn't be better i mean right now and in the playoffs hopefully you can see it is he's he's feeling great his body's light he's healthy and we i he has never been this healthy in a Super Bowl. So it's a contrast to two different years. And a lot of that's luck, and a lot of that has to do with the offensive line

and the play calling and Patrick being more aware of what to do with the ball, even if you're in a situation where you're losing a game. So it's been different. That's for sure. When you mentioned high ankle sprain that meant triggers like a memory of mine and i if you know me then you know that's uh shaky so was that the the injury against the browns when they still ended up winning with their backup quarterback and and and people saying he shouldn't have been ready in a week. Was that what he had?

Was that a couple years ago? That was three years ago, and that was when the guy twisted his neck. It looked like a UFC move. Yeah, and it basically gave him – he kind of went unconscious for a second. It wasn't a concussion. He got choked out. That game he had to come out,

but he also broke his foot in that game in the first quarter. And so that was a second. It wasn't a concussion. He got choked out. That game, he had to come out, but he also broke his foot in that game in the first quarter. That was a mess. The next week he played, and everyone was up, well, he had a concussion. We didn't have a concussion. He got choked out. You can see the play of a really dirty play. Then, yeah, Chad Henney took him all the way

through the game, and they won. They ended up getting beaten by Tampa Bay badly in the Super Bowl. Yeah. That year we had seven offensive linemen out. And I'm not making excuses, but you've never seen a team in the Super Bowl on their eighth through. No, he had no time.

Oh, it was insane. So he broke his foot? Yeah, he broke his foot. So he fractured what's called your plantar plate. And he was on the verge of a blitz, Frank Frank but then he also severed three or four different tissues because he got stepped on and it created the fraction and he kept playing and they kept they ran option and did some things and when you play on a broken foot like that and you're running full speed anytime you get about five meters per second you've got a fracture things are going to

tear it's like it's like running down the road on a flat tire. You're messing things up. And so we had to spend that entire offseason. You know, he had reconstructive surgery and all these different things. And we had to spend that entire offseason just getting him to where he could even move his foot correctly. So the next year was a pretty big challenge. But last year, remember the Jacksonville game where the guy purposely fell

on his ankle, like rolled him up, and he couldn't walk. He had to come out of the game again. Chad Henney played. And then he came back in the fourth quarter and led them on a couple touchdown drives hurt. Like he was hopping around, literally hopping and throwing the ball. And then the next week we had the Bengals. And then, you know, in the Eagles he broke a couple runs with his ankle.

Okay, yeah, yeah. We had to pay for it all offseason, but it's, you know, in the Eagles, he broke a couple of runs with his ankle. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. We had to pay for it all off season, but it's, you know, what are you going to do? I, I know a lot of guys in his position will put on a front, but I just felt like every time that he was in there, not like he wants people coming up to ask for autographs, but it just, he just seemed like a really normal, chill dude every time I saw him with you, Brandon.

I don't know. There are definitely quarterbacks that are in elite spots that when you see them at a gym or a workout, you know that they're thinking, I am the shit, and I would like you to respect that. And I just never got that vibe from him. I always feel weird. We were both sports nerds growing up. I couldn't imagine to be able to work with the athletes we get to work with,

but I'll kind of try to come in and avoid him and just walk straight through the front. But he'll make a point to say, hey, B, come on, where you at? Come over here, say what's up. So he's just like that. I mean, it's tough. He'll sit up at the front desk and there's a glass window and everyone can see him he just wants to hang out for a few minutes while he's while he's resting

after a workout so he's been the same since I met him way back when um really thankful that that he's been good to me and the family I mean having us you know part of his life and they they try to do anything they can to help us out and they they have, you know, commercials up at the facility, all kinds of stuff. It's been a really big blessing for us. And how he treats us is just top notch. So when, you know, Tiger would make a crazy shot or something and people would be like, yeah, but he practices that kind of stuff. He will put stuff in front of his ball. Luka, same thing.

Makes crazy shots and they're like, yeah, no, it's not like that was lucky. He actually does that all the time. What about Mahomes, when he'll throw, he's falling down 90 degrees, he's parallel with the ground and he makes a 30-yard throw downfield. Is he working on that stuff with you guys? Yes and no. I mean, I think a lot of the quarterback world tries to recreate these off-platform throws, and I think it's a big mistake.

I think that's probably the wrong way to go about it. For us, we do these cool-down exercises and we do these conditioning drills, and then every week in the season i have to do these things on air with just a towel and a ball in his hand um and what all i'm trying to do is work on flexibility there's there's something called fascial lines in the body and there's there's 12 different meridians and you guys don't care but the bottom line is is if you don't create some type of connectivity in fluent motion then the body's not going to utilize those tools when it gets put in situations to do that.

And so what we'll do is have him move in certain movement patterns, like maybe just a basic skip, and then I'm moving along the side on the right, and then if I say ball, then he just gets the ball out. So it doesn't matter what angle it is, his job is to get the ball out. And then I may have him in a cross and front pattern, and I may be behind him, and I call ball, and he just turns around and throws it that way.

So I'd be lying if I told you that we didn't work on these things, but it's not like we're doing quarterback drills. It's just to keep his body loose, keep him flowing. Because he's an athlete that's kind of like – he's very comparable to Luka as far as the way he moves, in my opinion. And these guys got to get in a flow and a rhythm. And their creative personalities that if you box them up or you give them this technical model, like if I try to make him –

if I was rigid and hit him over the head every week, like you've got to feel the ball like Peyton Manning. You've got to hold the ball high and tight and feel the ball down over the head. It would be a disaster. That's not how he is. So one of the things that I have to do is try to make sure that he moves freely and feels like he can do all these things and he can feel with his body. Yeah, I am fluid. It's almost like a shortstop in the way he likes to move.

And so we do work on it. And I think Jake's seen some of that locomotion protocols that we, we call it. And man, I can't tell you how many times that I've just been sitting there and just throwing the ball behind his back and hit me in the chest or bounce it off my head or my hands. Like, I don't even always – and I'm there all the time, and I don't ever expect some of these things.

But the best throws I've ever seen this guy make have not been in the game. I've seen him out on the field just him freelancing and doing this stuff. So, to answer your question, Dan, I don't think that those things he's doing out there, that's not the first time he's done it. I mean, I've seen it since he's been young. Well, the yelling ball thing makes sense. Like now you're throwing it now. Yeah.

Wherever you are, and that sometimes happens in a game. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, what separates him is he just, I feel like when he's out there, he always feels like something's going to come open. Either I'm going to be able to run it, I'm going to pitch it to this guy, if that's not open, I'll just do this.

I don't think he ever feels like the door is closed on a play. And I think that point guard type of mentality, I think that serves him. I think he plays the position like a point guard. Well, boys, it's been fun to catch up. I got a little bit more. Okay. We could give closing remarks.

I don't know if we're keeping you guys too long. I'm just wondering, overall training, because obviously Mahomes, I'm pretty sure he played a bunch of baseball, too, and I don't know if he also played other sports, but you guys see the a bunch of baseball too and I don't know if he also played other sports but um uh you know you guys see the the the crazy uh parent I've seen it at a very low level but uh like what age do

you guys say you should start specializing Brennan? Yeah. Give my parents a story without mentioning names. Because that's got to be a common thing. I want my kid to start playing football now and that's it. I think what we recommend, we don't start doing sports-specific training until they get into high school. All the studies, everything, multi-sport athletes always make it further. You got to have the creativity in there. You've got to, you've got to give your body time to see what it can do, you know, and translate that to other sports. But we

start that training in high school. I mean, but, but like I said earlier, people want their kid getting quarterback training when they're six years old. And now we have baseball players that play what, 10 months out of the year. We're having UCLs at 15 years old. Like, I'm having kids rehab UCLs at 15 and 16 now. And there just gets to a point where it's too much too soon. And you got to let kids be kids. I think what we fight a little bit is that when we were little, we would just go out in the neighborhood. We're from a small town you just you're playing sandlot baseball okay or you're playing basketball that day you're playing out in the yard i just don't think kids get that kind of interaction and play those sports that way

anymore i think you make your own football field the trees at the goal line and the driveways the goal line yeah yeah we were battling out there bobby's friends were beating the hell out of me that stuff was happening from when i was young um but i just don't think kids get that exposure so they'll just hey this kid and he likes doing this i'm gonna put him in this and he's gonna do it all year yeah that's not super healthy and get burnt out how about i don't think they should specialize till their junior year high school school. I think some girls, maybe their sophomore year, the gymnastics track is early, but there's plenty of evidence. I mean, we have seen, I don't know, at this point,

180 athletes make professional sports in six different sports. We started with a lot of these kids in fourth grade, third grade, and the majority of them don't specialize in that sport until they're sophomores or juniors in high school. And a lot of people argue with me and I'll tell them, that's fine, but you haven't seen it. We've seen like 50,000 athletes. So I can tell you, you're wrong. I can say, no, you're wrong. I've seen girls go play division one that never played the sport, never did select anything. And I just don't buy the specialization thing. It's kind of, in my mind, it's a fear of missing out thing.

And there's no research that says that it's effective. The 10,000-hour rule thing, that was a violence. And that was, that's, it's all just completely misguided. And I don't think it's necessary at all. I think you could even say about the 10,000 hour thing and not apply it to one specific thing but apply it to learning how to use your body which will be applicable in any other sport.

So it doesn't have to be 10,000 hours of basketball, baseball, football. It's just learning how to move your body and that's not just mean like, oh, you get ripped look at patrick yeah you just want to be able to move your body you know and be bendy and flexible and to me that's that's what i think what what they do that what i think about what they do is so cool is that that is what they do with those kids. What about – What's that? Go ahead. Well, I mean, when you're young and you think about this, like your body is building a map, right? And so the more diversity and variability you have in the sports you play or whatever you do, you're building a bigger map structure in your brain

for your body to be able to navigate. Well, if you only play one sport, I mean, you're building a very narrow set of roads to one place. And it just doesn't end up working out because the way that neurology works and the brain works is wherever you've been is kind of where you're going. And the more places you've been, even if you weren't good at it, it just creates more opportunity and more more ways to solve the problems. And so I try to tell parents this, and they'll argue with me, and I'll just say, like, it's fine. You don't have to, like, we're not the place for you.

I mean, we're not going to do, I'm not going to do football training with a 7-year-old. I'm just not going to do it. I've never done it. We've never done it. We're not going to do it now. And the movement, you know, conquers all. The more ways you can move, the more problems you can solve. It doesn't matter what you play. And I think it's a really hard concept and when you're a parent you know i got

two daughters it begins to be harder when you're having these conversations with them and all their friends are doing all this stuff and you guys have been there but it just you know overwhelming evidence that it just doesn't work to specialize what's your involvement with Patrick's or just everyone's nutrition that you guys train? You know, we're not licensed nutritionists, so we can give advice and we keep things conceptual. With Patrick, I'm really involved with his nutrition and he's got a chef and all that. But what we generally do with kids is give guidelines like hey how much water should you drink and it's half your body weight in ounces so helping a kid with that we know how much most kindergartners weigh and so we start telling them this many bottles a day and we make them repeat it

and they have to go home and tell their parents and then things as simple as eat three colors every meal which is it sounds like not a deal, but you start giving kids principles instead of telling them what to eat. And I think it helps with their decision-making. So that's where we start with it. But with someone like Patrick, I mean, I know we got a lot of publicity this week and probably not in the ways that you would want or he would want, but I will tell you, and I will challenge you guys, like name on your hand, how many hall of fame pitchers and quarterbacks, you know, that were ripped and had a six pack and you're not going to get to five.

And there's a reason because anaerobic power, being able to repeat that, having that endurance and being able to sustain that type of, of really, really forced transmission, forced conduction. If you don't, that anybody part period. And it don't have that, you don't get your body part, period.

And there's overwhelming evidence of that too. So for Patrick, I need his body fat to be 13% to 15% in the season. In the playoffs, I want to dip down. You know, you've got to take risks in the playoffs. You run more, you get leaner. And why? Because you only have four games. So those things are calculated in why it may look to that idiot on the Colin Coward show that there's a big problem

and we're negligent. What it really means is that this guy's got to absorb a lot of force. If you're going to take hits from somebody that's 250 pounds running 20 miles an hour that you don't even see, if you don't have fat, you're going to to get hurt i don't care what anybody tells me i've learned this the hard way and look at pictures there's a lot of pictures that are 220 pounds you know that 511 and if you drop them down to 180 that their arm tears up in three months i know this because we've done it we've had we've had teams say hey i need this guy to get lean. They get lean. They blow their arm out like in three months. And I've just learned that the body needs body fat. I went back and studied a lot of the old gladiator type of era. And a lot of those guys were big and they were big in the sense that they had body fat and they

could sustain a beating and they could keep going. And I think there's merit sense that they had body fat, and they could sustain a beating, and they could keep going. And I think there's merit to that. It starts with that, and then it ends with evidence that we have with quarterbacks and pitchers right now. That's – yeah, that's good. You need to be Luca's spokesman at the beginning of the season when he's like, look, I need a little of this. Basketball's a little different.

It's a little different. Do you have Taylor Swift's number in your phone? All right. First off, no. But if I did, I wouldn't tell you. Okay. It is very funny, though, that his wife was like – she was an intern, right? Yeah.

When I first started there, I'm walking in at 5 or 6 o'clock in the morning and there's you know kind of she's kind of there to like make sure you're not coming in if you don't work out there and then help them throughout the day and I'm like hey and now she's like friends with the most famous person on the planet

she loves Brandon I mean she loves Brandon they both do neither one of them enjoy their time with me as much because I'm the one that's on them all the time. She loves Brandon. Yeah, I only asked her to clean the windows one time. I learned not to do that, again, pretty quickly. But, yeah, they're great to me. They let me meet the baby and all that stuff.

I'm the fun guy. I don't have to train anybody or hold them accountable. I get kind of chubby too. We love it. And this is my last thing, I think. Did Jake catch a pass from Patrick Mahomes? Because he says that about every five minutes or so he'll tell me. How did you not see the video?

They think it's like AI or it's doctored or something, I'm sure. Yeah, you could do anything with it. Not only did he catch a pass from Patrick, I think he was running backwards and turned around. Yeah, you never know. Yeah, and then you caught one from Jalen Hurts as well. No, it was – why am I blanking? Not Shane Buchel.

Sam Ellinger? It was Elling Buchel. Sam Ellinger? It was Ellinger, yeah. Ellinger? Yeah. I thought Jalen was there that day. I don't remember, but yeah. That was cool watching just – that's kind of like the stuff Bobby was talking about he does with them.

Okay. They're just out there on their – it's like a little side field doing crazy stuff. I once dropped a pass from Stephen McGee. That's my claim to fame. stuff. I once dropped a pass from Stephen McGee. That's my claim to fame. He's noted a lot of Aggies, but

I've never seen somebody catch like Jake did. He almost hit the ground. He just took his arm straight up and he dropped to the floor. I was so scared. I didn't have gloves on. If you would have dropped it, I would have been so embarrassed. I would have had to quit. That's why he kept

telling me, like, go, go. And I'm like, no, man, no. Because, yeah, you would send me that video every day for the rest of my life. I told Batron, too. I was like, don't take it easy on me. You guys have any – is there any superstitions? Like a game, you know, Super Bowl day, did you do something the Tampa year that you did differently the other years? I'm like, oh, let's not do that.

Besides face Tom Brady, I suppose that helps. I don't think Tom Brady was a big of a problem that day. He's like four Hall of Fame defensive linemen and two 4-3 linebackers. No, man. You know, Patrick is very superstitious. I guess I am too from a you know standpoint of yeah there's pretty much nothing we did that year that we're doing again but then everything we did last year we're doing we're doing again as as well so and he does the same warm-up he does the

same thing every pre-game he eats the same things he's wears the same you know tights what does he eat um he's he's pretty consistent in that on game day and i and i don't know that i should uh talk too much about this but i mean he's like a pancake guy and a banana you know and he'll have a little coffee and that's it he doesn't he doesn't do a lot he'll have another banana at halftime if you want no one to find out about what you say you're on the right podcast yeah we are we are in the dark brother but he's he's basic um you know he just he's a routine guy and so if you were and i think the netflix series hit on this like they showed i want to say five or six different pre-games and they were able to make it show like he's doing the exact

same thing every every single time as far as his upper body movement stretches i mean he does this thing where he likes to to shoot a basket like a one-on-one with the football um he likes to run one or two routes, and he always has the same guy throw to him. He has the same coach beside him catching the balls to hand them to him. And, you know, you go back and look at what Justin Tucker knew that last week, and he was just trying to – Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah.

That whole thing was him just trying to throw him off because he knows Patrick's – Okay, because Kelsey was getting most of the, at least if you care about online heat. Like, oh, look at that. He was being such a jerk. He wouldn't let Justin Tucker warm up. Well, the camera only caught Kelsey's reaction. But if you go back, I have a video of – because somebody sent it to me and was like, dude, this is happening.

Patrick kicked his stuff. Did you see Patrick kick his stuff? I didn't see that one, no. Everybody saw Travis throw the footballs in the helmet, right? Okay. Well, before that, Tucker set up right where they were doing – him and the other quarterback were doing their drops. They were doing the same.

They were doing the end zone every game. Most teams do. Tucker put his tee down right right where patrick would drop back so if he would have just done his drop back he could have tripped or whatever well patrick did his drop back and hit it and kind of tripped but he didn't knock it down so then he saw it and he looked down and he kicked it he kicked when he kicked it he kicked it like five yards justin looked at him and he's like and went and grabbed it and put it right back behind him well then Patrick grabbed it and threw it because that happened that happened first

then Tucker went and put his helmet and his footballs there and then Travis got involved and that's what that's what everybody saw but that really wasn't the beginning and look man these Ravens guys like I love the ravens i love the organization i love lamar but they were talking trash all week which is so stupid and the thing that i hated about it was real passive aggressive it's like well he puts on his pants like everybody else well i didn't mean anything by that but i did or we faced the quarterbacks so we're this and that's like if you're gonna talk trash like say with your chest and what are we doing we're this and that. It's like, if you're going to talk trash, like say with your chest and what are, what are we doing? We're supposed to be the Ravens. So chalk trash or not because it's already on the bulletin board.

And then when you, you senior kicker to, to, to rough up the two best players on the team, what are we doing? Well, I'm telling you guys, um, you don't want to watch a game with Bobby. It's the most stress induing thing you'll ever see. Even sitting in Arrowhead, I'm like, Jesus Christ, this is so stressful. He's pacing up and down. They're high-fiving people when it goes well. He's getting into fights on Twitter in the stands.

It's a wild ride. Got to bring the juice. I like watching Bobby's Twitter on game day. Yeah, I think we all do. Especially Bingle on game day. Yeah, I think we all do. Especially Bengals game day. That's right there. Bengals, yeah. All right, fellas.

Well, it's great to catch up. Enjoy your week. And I'm sure I will be texting both of you on Sunday. Thanks for having us. Awesome. Thanks, guys. Yeah, thanks. All right. thanks for having us thanks guys alright that was cool

do I X out now Blake? yeah go ahead alright yeah we also will record some of that on video for the Soch right Blake? is that the whole deal?

Yeah. I mean, engagement, right? Engagement shit. Am I right? Yeah. Yeah, those guys are great. And I know, like, sometimes, you know, some of the stuff that Bobby's saying, we're just looking at each other like, can I do a sit-up?

Because, like, he's that in-depth with, like, his understanding of the body and how this and that works with each other. It's a lot like Jameis. You got your elbows. What's that at the bottom? What's the elbow of the knee? Or of the leg is the knee. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. We have more sports. We certainly do. Oh, this doesn't fit, right? It doesn't, but I kind of like the bit now. Okay. The more sports is soccer.

That's a sport. So they say. So they say. They say it's very popular in certain areas. And the World Cup press conference was yesterday to announce who got the World Cup final. And, all right, let me get rid of this. Come on, pal. We like it.

Yeah. It's fine. We need the fast one. You never put the fast one in there for me. Or at least I don't know where it is. No, so I don't know where it is. No, so I... You know what? The only thing I don't really have...

Well, I'll tell you as we go through this. Okay. Because I know you saw some Jerry, and you listened to the entire Jerry, I think. Yeah. It's not four or five minutes, but yeah. So they had a press conference, and I take you to... And I take you to the way I consumed this was this morning from the WFAA stream. So Channel 8 had a stream hosted by Mike Leslie and some soccer guy. He's their soccer guy.

And, well, I'll just take you to mike leslie's opening remarks we are uh 13 ish minutes away from the worst kept secret in all of sports becoming official uh we're pretty sure we'll wait for it to be officially announced but we're pretty sure that at&t stadium will be announced as the host site for the 2026 World Cup Final. July 19th of 2026, all the eyes of the sports world will be on that building right there, AT&T Stadium, for the World Cup Final. Again, there are other possibilities. SoFi in L.A., MetLife Stadium in New York. Chances are good it's going to be AT&T Stadium, and it's going to be a

very celebratory atmosphere in Arlington very soon. Definitely. I mean, today's the day, right? You know, so like you said, it's the worst kept secret in sports. It's been reported on, I don't know, three, four times in the past two years. So if it wasn't AT&T Stadium, I would be very shocked. okay boy that s eating tone too of like yeah okay they haven't said it yet but i think we all know and it's going to be the greatest day in the history of dallas fort worth when we get the world cup final which i am certain we are getting back to you it's just so's just so fun knowing the end result is that they didn't get it. Yeah.

This is gold. And that everybody is so disappointed. But as they're leading up to the big announcement, and they're thinking they're 13 minutes away. I don't know if he said that in that cut. He did, yeah. Okay, so. 13-ish.

13-ish. I don't think we found out for over an hour from when he said that. But this is – so they were throwing it to different news packages as well to kill some time. They threw it to a news package where they were giving you an old, familiar song. But getting the maximum number and the final, well, that would be a massive boost for North Texas.

The Dallas Sports Commission compared it to hosting eight Super Bowls. Eight Super Bowls? They say it could create up to 3,000 jobs and have an impact worth $400 million. I love it. Did not make $400 million. Every single time.

You never really learn until way after the fact when they're like, no, it actually – you know who it did? It made $400 million for this guy, like Jerry made it. But as far as that money coming into the community and being spread around, that's not the way that's going at all. Like the guy who owns like the chicken restaurant across the street just walks out and throws a pile of cash in the air as business owners everywhere celebrate.

That's how they snow us. The local Arlington business is like the Walmart across the street. The canes there on the corner. At least they're not the Cowboys, although Walmart kind of is. Let's continue to tease what's coming up.

Again, we are standing by waiting for news to come down. It's been reported three, four times over now over the course of the last couple of years that AT&T Stadium in Arlington would be the host site for the 2026 World Cup Final. So if that's not the news that is revealed over the course of the next 10, 15 minutes or so, it would be rather shocking. Yeah, so now we're like, we're 20 minutes in, but he's still saying 10, 15. I don't know. Stay tuned.

Stay with us here. So I'm sure you guys have known this for a long time, but I wasn't made aware until the Rangers parade about the local news people that have to go unscripted in the comedy there. Well, that's what we're getting into. Constantly resetting. Don't really know how to end my sentence here,

but just stay tuned. I feel like you must have, but you don't. You didn't see the sheet I have, but that is a perfect segue into, I believe, what's coming up this next cut. For somebody like you, as big a soccer fan as I personally know, what would this mean? Well, that guy makes Blake sound like Sly Stallone.

Back it up. I'm sorry. Hey. Yeah. Yeah. For somebody like you, as big a soccer fan as I personally know, what would this mean? For me personally, I'm just super excited that, you know,

I've always watched the World Cup world cup you know as a casual sports fan i didn't really get into um covering soccer as as much as i did until i was working in austin and austin that's the biggest soccer fan you know hold on hold on he went out on the limb to say he normally watched the world cup as a casual, wasn't the biggest soccer fan? For me, I would say Peter Whelpton or Andy Swift. Yeah, they take trips to England every couple years. Breathing and dying with it since they were probably five years old. I grew up.

Yeah, I was really into it. This guy's like, well, a job made me start watching it. So I did. I kind of like it now. International. More feverishly, but, you know, just the – and like I said, I was two years old when it came here last time. So obviously I don't remember it.

Yeah. And this is something that will be cool for me personally, a soccer fan. You know, I want to, you know, be here to cover it and just enjoy all the festivities that come around it. So it's going to be, from what I just learned there, it's going to be kind of cool for this guy. Otherwise, I mean. Unless I'm busy that day. I mean, I'll watch probably.

I don't know. If I have laundry, then maybe skip the game. All right. We are still kind of reading the tea leaves and we're still teasing ahead here. Then maybe skip the game. All right. We're still kind of reading the tea leaves, and we're still teasing ahead here. FIFA confirms Dallas will have nine games. FIFA, okay. So there's one more. There's one more to be had.

I wonder what that one's going to be. I wonder where it might be, what it might be, what it might be on it. And that makes sense because if you think about it, the way that they've laid it out, there's five group stage matches. That makes sense because if you think about it, the way that they've laid it out, there's five group stage matches. They've done two group of 16s and then a group of eight. And so then they're not going to give them a semifinal two because they want to divvy it out. And so in my mind, that would open the door for the final to be Jerry World. Who could it be?

It's pretty much all laid out there in front of us here. We're still just kind of waiting. Mike Leslie just dead set. He is very sure that it's going to be Dallas, and he just wishes it would happen. Gianni Infantino, the FIFA president, confirming just a moment ago Dallas will host more matches than any of the other host cities for the 2026 World Cup.

Nine of the 104 matches in total. It wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for the site to host the most to not host the final. Why? There you go. Why? Why would that have any bearing on it at all? If you already have the most to not host the final. Why? There you go. Why? Why would that have any bearing on it at all? If you already have the most, like, why would it make any sense to be like,

oh, okay, well, let's just give them another one? That actually would make sense. Like, you tell the city that's getting it, like, hey, you're only getting five, but you're getting the big one. So we teased, what, what, 13 minutes when we started? Yeah. Ish. Ish.

Right, Blake. Thank you. Let's fast forward 55 more minutes from that. Oh, my gosh. Because we're here. Are we bumping up against Young Sheldon or something? We're here. That's CBS, and you know that.

New York, New Jersey gets the title. Wow. Wow. Sh Wow. Wow. Shocking. Wow. You probably just heard it reverberate across our newsroom. The final will not be in Dallas. It will not be in Arlington. It will not be at AT&T Stadium.

How far did my jaw just drop there live on the air? I'm a little shocked myself. I can only imagine how shocked Jerry Jones must be, Monica Paul must be, Dan Hunt must be right now. Again, we're talking about reported multiple times over, three, four times over. There's where you start getting the CYA vote. That the final would be at the stadium in Arlington.

FIFA drops a bomb, and it will not be in Arlington. And I'm wondering what the YouTube comments are doing now. Oh, my goodness. The YouTube comments. Oh, yeah, because you said this is live streamed? Yes. Yeah. So they're streaming on YouTube.

They need someone to go check out the comments, Blake. And often the comments will really put everything into perspective. Sure. So, yeah, let's read some YouTube comments. Money Pit Castle from Santa Fe says, LMAO, they did us dirty. Michelle says, wow. Lissandro says, why?

Look at the chat, why? What? Nick Scholl, a bunch of sad gamblers today. They're just reading wows and whys? This is wow. Wow. I'm legitimately surprised. I mean, maybe it was reported a bunch and maybe, you know.

But if I'm like Leslie, the reason I'm so like it's in the bag already is he knows that he could get to go to a World Cup final and cover it. Which is, no matter if you like soccer or not, probably an insane scene. Yeah, I don't know because one of the least fun games I was ever at was the Super Bowl here. Because – I didn't know you went. Yeah, I went to the Super Bowl that was here. Okay. I had standing room only.

But it was very – you know, it's like there's – it's very corporate. Well, I mean, Jerry World is that anyway. But here's the thing, man. But it's very corporate. Well, I mean, Jerry World is that anyway. But here's the thing, man. But it's very corporate. The fans. I know. And everybody I know who's gone, even if I actually know people who have gone when it was their team who were like, I'd rather be at a home game in the playoffs.

I'll give soccer credit this, though. It's impossible to produce a boring environment in a World Cup, boring environment you know in a world cup especially when you're in the the final it's insane you know the yeah i wonder i mean i think about so whatever country they have the funds to travel here and then pay the exorbitant cost it's going to cost to get in there. They have enough people who will. Do they?

There are people that will. I mean, that is their life's goal. So even the big money people in Argentina or wherever. Are a lot more fired up than Jerry's buddies. Okay. I promise you, dude. I promise you. It'll be lit.

Maybe even litty. The Super Bowls are not lit. No. No, and neither are Cowboy games. But I still think it's funny just winding it back 15 minutes. Who could it be? So now we've got... You love this, Blake?

We throw it to a press conference. I was having way more fun before you made the connection that that guy sounds a lot like me. He doesn't sound a lot like you. And now it's not as fun. It was just that one little part. Because I want to rip the guy. You can rip someone that sounds

like you. It doesn't sound like he's like a TV guy. I'll tell you that. No. He's a writer. He's not adding much. No. Well, he did read those comments. You gotta give him that. Okay. He said that Lucy said, wow. So, I'm just going chronologically on my

WFAA stream from yesterday. So then they throw it out to AT&T Stadium. By the way, did you hear that the World Cup, no matter what stadium you play in, they will not refer to that stadium with whoever bought the naming rights

because they never paid the World Cup anything. So what did they just say? From here in Arlington? Even worse. Have you guys not heard this? No. My gosh. Go ahead and I'll tell you.

I think I know where you're going. They're going to call it Dallas Stadium. Yeah, okay. I know that's the part that everybody was... It's like New York Stadium. Dallas Stadium, Los Angeles Stadium. They will not call it by whoever paid for the naming rights. Yeah, well...

And you know what? AT&T also did not pay me. So why would I? Why would the Dallas Morning News? Why would anybody? And, you know what? AT&T also did not pay me. So why would I? Why would the Dallas Morning News? Why would anybody? Yeah. That's interesting.

Yeah, I know the people. I did see the people were mad about Dallas even being involved in this, as I think we're going to get to. We're going to get to that. But I didn't know it was because of the stadium thing. But there's no way in hell they were going to come back from break. it was because of the stadium thing. But there's no way in hell they were going to come back from break. And people in, you know, Japan

or, you know, Belgium, they're not going to say, hear from Arlington, Texas. They barely even do that on NFL games. Right. But it's... It is delicious. So... Coming off your

trash parade. So I know what you're wondering. You're like, my gosh, I'm kind of surprised by this as well. I need some perspective. I wonder what Emmett Smith thinks. What? Emmett, you are a famous soccer dad again. I mentioned Reagan playing midfielder for Texas A&M.

We know that the men's game lifts the women's game and vice versa. You're our famous soccer dad again. I mentioned Reagan playing midfielder for Texas A&M. We know that the men's game lifts the women's game and vice versa. What does this mean for a family? Why is this audio so darn low? I'm sorry, Blake. Let me just try and hit pump up real quick and see if that works. Pump it, pump it, pump it. That sounds very scratchy.

Emmitt Smith. Yes, what does Emmitt Smith think? Sorry. Reagan playing midfielder for Texas A&M I mean we know that the men's game lifts the women's game and vice versa what does this mean for a family and for a family who's who's watching soccer and interested in getting into the sport you're interested in what he might have to say about this I mean I found out his daughter plays soccer there and that's why you're here that yeah. Okay, so what does it mean for families? Yeah, I'm excited to hear.

What it means is that you get to see one of the largest sporting events around the globe right here in your backyard nine times. And for kids that are, you know, from diverse backgrounds, they get a chance. If they haven't been introduced to it, they get introduced to it. So you have a kid. You live in Grapevine. From a diverse background, maybe even not a diverse background,

I don't know, but now it's going to be like a half hour from your house. Now I'll watch it. If you'd like to go to the game. Oh, yeah, sure. Globally, it's a beautiful thing, and it's a great thing for the region itself to have nine games so you can get a chance to go out and see some of the best soccer players in the world. Then a couple.

Come right here up on and ascend right here up on this region and this city. What? So for families who are supporters of sports, no matter what sport it is, this is a tremendous opportunity to get engaged you like hockey introduce your kids to things that they probably have never seen before or might have badminton now that it's on a global stage and for the entire region well we get a chance to showcase our talents and our abilities to put things in place like great stadiums, great facilities, etc. Several roads and bridges and everything else. Hey, I know you're from Argentina.

You're here at the World Cup final. You will not believe I-30. This is Margaret Hill Hunt Bridge. Oh, my God. You got to see this

road. Look at this road. It's got six lanes. Look at this road. It's not too many potholes. Dude, I don't know. We get a chance to showcase our talents and our abilities

to put things in place like great stadiums, great facilities, etc. etc. Rows and bridges and everything else. What does everything mean? Waves hand. Waves. Just take a look. Two airports.

We use our talents to put that together. Look at that. When it gets dark, we got a street light. What's in front of that Tex-Mex restaurant? That's a memorial. That's a memorial. That's right. Remember 9-11?

Hey, look at this tower. You see the ball? Spence. They'll go round and round on you. There's so much there. We may have to play this again tomorrow because the part where he's like, there's no chance he knows like more than maybe two soccer players, if that's names.

And he said the phrase, they will have a chance to come upon and ascend into this region. Oh, that's going to be stuck in my head. What does any of that mean? He just pictures other countries as everything else is third world, right? Yeah, pretty much. We're the only country with roads.

Right. All right. Now, so it's real funny because that initial panel, and we'll go back to them, I think, because Emmett's not done, but it's Dirk. Okay. That one might kind of make sense because of the soccer tie-in.

Emmett, Dirk, a midfielder for FC Dallas, and Marty Turco. First of all, you've got... Dirk and Emmett, they might be on the Dallas Mount Rushmore.

Yeah, they definitely are. Yeah. And then some guy... At least he plays soccer. I think he was like 20 years old. From Plano. He is from... Yeah, he's like lives, he grew up here.

No, that one makes sense then. Kind of. Well, it doesn't fit with the others, but yeah. Hey, the only soccer player that we've ever produced that we can get. And then, yeah, Marty Turco. It makes absolutely no sense at all. But greatest uh well not the greatest jerry's probably the greatest right but uh then they have a panel of uh they have the local mayors like they got the mayor of frisco the mayor of arlington and uh then they got a guy, he's got a cape. It's got a big R on it.

It's got an elephant on it. Okay. He used to have a donkey. Yeah. He traded that in. He is known in some circles as Sports Mayor. Because he loves sports. We don't know what else he does.

He doesn't... But he loves sports. And here's Sports Mayor. We don't know what else he does. He doesn't, but he loves sports. And here's Sports Mayor. We are now on the global stage. Dallas has worked hard to be in a position to be able to host something like a World Cup. And so, in my mind, what we need to be doing right now is immediately pivoting towards the business at hand, which is hosting the world's biggest party in 2026 and making sure everybody has a great time. We have the opportunity now to host the world here in our neck of the woods. They love to lean into the word world.

Emmett did that, too. I mean, it's the World Cup. Actually, Emmett said globe. Emmett did that too. I mean, it's the World Cup. Actually, Emmett said globe. The globe. You know, you get to choose your energy. Nine games is a lot of games

and I think there's something to be read into on why we were given that responsibility to host so many games. We're going to have so many people from around the world here in our city and we need to do everything we can to show them why Dallas is an international city and why Dallas is on the global stage. this historic final game played, but to have a semi-final and eight other games played here, there's a real opportunity to showcase what this city has become. And he's wearing like a hat.

This isn't the 1980s. Like a Indiana Jones. JR Ewingdon is not a real thing. Oh, I'm sorry. I spoke over some of his gold. Sorry. He's teaching you about Dallas. This city has become.

This isn't the 1980s. JR Ewingdon is not a real thing this is about the 60s where we murdered the president um that we want the world um yeah wait so he's referring to something jr ewing 1980 44 years ago yeah yeah so yeah is if if if you were hosting something in 1980, now we're talking about pre-World War II, like, what are you doing? Who cares? That's not a good reference.

But this is his whole bit, though. Anytime you hear him talk, that's why he was in Dubai or whatever whenever they were taking a vote a couple of months. His whole bit is just, Dallas is going to be this international hub. So they're going to get a chance to see that in 2026. Probably because of the DFW kind of months. His whole bid is just Dallas is going to be this international hub. So they're going to get a chance to see that in 2026. Probably because of the DFW kind of makes it that.

We showed the entire world how fun and welcoming and beautiful our community is. And so I'm as excited as I can be about it. Nine games is a lot of people from around the world who are going to be here for a considerable amount of time, and they're going to come away with an impression of our city that I think is going to stay with them forever. So I'm very excited, very happy. It's a great day.

It's like he is more concerned with the image of the city to others who don't live here than the city for people that live in the city. Oh, without a doubt. It's been that way from the start with him. And I got to tell you, man, I don't even live in Dallas. There are some beautiful parts of Dallas. There's some beautiful neighborhoods. But in general, and you'll see this, Dan, when you go to Paris in a month or so, there

might be a handful of people from around the world who come here and are like, that was cool. But 99% of them are going to be like, that place is trash. Because now if you go to like New York or you go to even like any East Coast city or even Chicago, you might be like, this kind of feels like home if you're from Europe. You come here, you're going to be like, what is this place? I got to drive 45 minutes to get there? Yeah, my hotel is super far away.

There's no public transit, which I know we're going to get to. There's a Hooters. There is a Hooters. There are a lot of Buffalo Wild Wings. It's hot as hell here. We already talked about the bridges. Oh, my God. Ball's hot.

Yeah. Almost no one who's from Europe is going to come to America and go to Dallas and be like, that place is really cool. They got a wet and wild. You know what's going to be the cherry on top is when everyone gets here and the ERCOT grid fails because everyone's here. Yeah, because everyone's here using all the electricity. That would be great.

Oh, my gosh. Using all the electricity. That would be great. Oh, my gosh. So, Newey Scruggs from NBC5 is out there, and he's got a question for the real sports mayor. Wouldn't you have to say, if someone around here can be called sports mayor,

it's the Arlington guy? I mean, the teams all play there. Yeah. Jeff Williams, is that his name? No, he's out, right? Oh, that was the last guy? Is it Ross? Something Ross?

Jeff Williams is definitely the last guy. It's Jeff Ross. It's Jeff Ross. Jeffrey Ross. Jeffrey Ross, because also he does roasts. Yeah, that's right. I like him. This is him, yeah. Anyway, Newey has a question.

Mayor Ross, Newey Scruggs, NBC5. Do you think public transportation, Arlington not having it at all, could have been a part of not having the final here? Newey, I know somebody's going to ask that question. What are you, Aunt Jemima? I believe what we have there is, do you call it code switching? Yeah, that's a classic one. Newey!

I believe. I believe that was a pretty... If you listen to him talk for the rest of the... It's the only time I've ever heard this guy talk like that. But for those who don't know, Newey Scruggs, black. And the mayor of Arlington...

Not black. The very opposite of black. Not black. Could have been a part of not having the final here. Newey, I know somebody's going to ask that question. Like, why is this not the headline coming out of this whole thing? Can we diagram that sentence? Yeah, well, what would be even funnier is if, like, a Chinese reporter was there. I'm like, why did I know someone was going to ask that?

Oh my goodness. That is so Confederate. I know somebody... Is it Red Fox? I know somebody's going to ask that question. We have public transportation. Let me tell you, if you've ever been to a cowboy game if you've been to a ranger game if you've been to the world series parade where we had 750 000 people come into this city they moved in and out just fine we have a ride

boy i've talked to people people around just fine a ride share per i've when uh've talked to people. It gets people around just fine. A rideshare program. I talked to people who went down there for that parade, and they were like, what a cluster F. It was horrible. It took them hours to get out. Right. Yeah. It's odd that he mentioned that. And by people getting around,

is he talking about like the shuttles that run to the stadium? Just because we don't assign ourselves to a particular transit authority at this particular moment, people think, is that going to be a problem? Absolutely not. We have been working hand-in-hand with Michael Morris and RTC and COG and planning all the transportation moving in and out of this city. As a matter of fact, they said that's probably a major reason that Dallas didn't get it.

Of course. This is the type of thing that Arlington was born and raised to do. It's the worst. We do this all the time. We've done Super Bowls. We've done three Taylor Swift concerts in a row. That's almost as big as a World Cup now. This is something that happens on a regular basis our traffic management people are second to none and if you've ever experienced

coming out of here one person get people in and out they kind of have to be good if not better than any other city in the country so uh we do have a public transportation this is where you can just say anything you want a transit authority okay i knew that question was coming newy thank you for getting it right out shoot thanks brother now that i know somebody's gonna ask that question yes that's shocking yeah i mean it's funny to say that the reason you're not like signed up with a particular transit authority is why uh people say you don't have public transportation, when I would say it's because you don't have trains.

It's like, we don't want to be in a box labeled. It's like, no, it's because you don't have rail that runs there. Hop in that train to have it dump you out right at the stadium? Yeah. But Jerry would not allow that, would he? He would not. I've heard people say to varying degrees that he's involved in keeping that from happening. But that would be bad for him.

That's for sure. Right, they make a ton of money on that parking. Jim Ross, that's actually the, so you might think it's Jeffrey Ross, though, because he does have a comedy set. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I jokingly, Mayor Cheney and I did a panel together, I don't know, a couple of years ago, Jeff, wasn't it? And they said, well, introduce yourself and tell something you're proud of.

And I said, well, I'm Jim Ross, mayor of Arlington. I'm proud that we don't allow the F word to be used in Arlington. And the F word's Frisco. Because they do so many things really, really well. And I meant that as a compliment. Yes, the Frisco who steals our teams is really the reason that we called the Rangers like 10 years ahead of their lease running out and said, how about we build you a new ballpark even though you don't need one?

running out and said, how about we build you a new ballpark, even though you don't need one, just because in theory, you could think about going to Frisco when the time is right. And then just to backbend and say, and I mean that as a compliment. Yeah. Oh, yeah. They're the F word. We don't want to talk about you because we know you're screwing us over. You're the F word. And I mean that as a compliment.

Yeah. You're the F word. And I mean that as a compliment. Yeah. Well, now here's a pretty big... The headline coming out of this was not really Jim Ross code switching, as it should have been, but it was more Jerry. So now we take you back to the stream, and the guys are kind of just...

We're all trying to justify this as being pretty good not bad it's pretty good actually i know we were teasing ahead as a team uh if you're a fan wouldn't you rather win three wild cards than ever win a super bowl yeah of course yeah it's better it's more more wins um but once they see you know they're kind of monitoring it you know how this works if we're doing a cowboys press conference uh blake or the killer or somebody will be out at the press conference saying okay he's he's walking to the podium now he's walking to the podium now and that's what we're going to get here i don't blame you for being frustrated right now because this felt like it was done this felt like this was we we're oh jerry jones is speaking now Let's see what he has to say about all of this. Well, first of all, I want to think very realistic, and I mean that.

This is a fabulous success. Fabulous. Was there any chance he was going to get up there and say, like, God damn it, this has kind of been a huge waste of time. Yeah, Jesus, I put everything into this. We talk about one question. Did Jerry Jr. F this up? Where is he?

Podium up here. Dallas, whether it's Arlington, Frisco, and all the areas here, this game's not being played in New York. It's being played in New Jersey. Love the justification there and so those things are a matter of uh really as much as anything perception now this was a fabulous come from behind love that he pronounces fabulous fabulous yeah just fabulous now he's spinning you on the underdog. Tremendous effort led by the two people on each side of me right here. But a fabulous.

See, the competition. But a fabulous. It was a fabulous. Was dealing with the perception of a coastal, of a New York or a Los Angeles. He means cities that are cool. Yeah. That's what we're up against. The coastal elites, though.

That's right. If the United States were totally being played to just America and the United States, that wouldn't have been such a formidable thing to overcome. But internationally, that's formidable to overcome. Europeans like cool stuff. Yeah. This team came that close to overcoming it. Now, we have nine games, and that comes out too fast.

Too fast. When you say that, it ought to be nine games. Because that's the kind of impact. This is just like the Cowboys, though, every year. It's like, yeah, got that close. We were just there. We were just there. We were right there. Yeah.

On the brink. Isn't he the guy you want to work for? Like anything you do. That's great. That's great. I can't even believe you. I can't. I can't believe you got this far.

Yeah. Yeah. Skip ahead a little bit. And we want to show them not only what this area is about, but we want to show them why this stadium is here to begin with. This stadium could have been built for a lot less and a lot grander scale just for the cowboys to play in this is a real doozy he it's like the uh i think you should leave meme where the guy's like oh my god he said it because you could have had a great place for 100,000 people to watch the Cowboy Games every game.

Cool. The rest of what was committed and why this stadium is here like it is is so that John Madden and Al Michaels can talk to 30 million and 40 million people and talk to them about what it's like to be in this stadium, not just the 100,000 that are in the stands. He flat out said said we built this tv for stadium and concerts the stadium he's like we could have made a great place for football it probably wouldn't even cost as much yeah yeah yeah yeah but now he's like listen it's for the

one you guys know the deal and it's for the one time al michaels and quick uh cool references yeah al michael michaels i'm surprised you didn't say john madden he did oh excuse me yeah you're And quick, cool references. Yeah, Al Michaels. Al Michaels and John Madden. I'm surprised you didn't say John Madden. He did. Oh, excuse me. Yeah, you're right. He did say Al Michaels and John Madden to, once a game, mention the artwork coming out of the break. Yeah.

That's what it's all about, baby. And, yes, it is about concerts. This could have been great for football. But. And if you're wondering why it's not. You know why. One more little one. We believe that we represent in the center of the country what America is about in our way. And we believe we show the future.

You know who doesn't? Those homos in Los Angeles. That's right. They don't know. That's basically what he's saying. Yeah. It's like, look, these lefty cities. Yeah.

New York. Yeah. Crime ridden. Crime. Yeah, exactly. The rat runs out on New York. Yeah. Crime-ridden. Crime, yeah, exactly. The rat runs out on the field. And we tried to sell that, and we wanted the committee of them to buy into that as opposed to going to one of the other coasts, New York or Los Angeles.

It was a hell of a battle. We almost got there. I think it's funny, too, and he's probably telling the truth about this. It's kind of like we were talking about a minute ago. It's funny that he thinks of the pitch to have the World Cup here, where the overwhelming majority of people that are attending are not going to be from America. The idea that they tried to sell FIFA on, we're America though. I got news for you.

Not thought of too highly around the world right now. Yeah. So if you want to make yourself like the most America city as you're pitching yourself, that might not have been a good idea. Because you could probably look at Miami

and LA and be like oh those cities are like the most the least american cities big cities and he's like i don't understand why this guy from portugal doesn't want to visit the pinnacle of america yeah it's like right here it's so so misguided um but i love his sales job so So is Dan Hunt the Jerry Jr. of the Hunt family? Like he didn't get the Chiefs. No, he got FC Dallas. Yeah. So that might be a good analogy.

Like Clark Hunt got the Chiefs. You can say it as fast as you want now. Yeah, you really can. That's true. Clark Hunt. Or Clark. Clark. Anyway, you really can. That's true. Clark Hunt. Or Klar. Klar. Anyway, Dan Hunt is there.

He's the soccer guy, and he's also going to tell you that, what's wrong with this? This is great. But I want you guys to think about this. Out of nine games, we have four elimination round games, and I'm going to have to go look at the table, but I'm not sure anybody else has four elimination round games and i'm gonna have to look at the table but i'm not sure anybody else has four elimination round games and we have a final match on the last group stage elimination

day so you have five fixtures that are do or die that are going to happen are we buying any of this yet theater there will be more drama that takes place here on this pitch than anywhere else in the entire World Cup. You have five do-or-die matches, and you're going to have nine great matches that take place. Because I know how they do things here at AT&T Stadium with our great partners, the Joneses and the NFL. But you will see things and you will see drama unfold that probably will have never been witnessed in any other world cup in a single venue except here at at&t stadium so incredible win for soccer fans when when it sounds like he's using like the draft points chart he's like all right three thirds that's we could have moved up a second we were going to package up uh four of these and yeah it's like no dude they go back to jerry i think that uh same thing the

the thing that we are going to bring to the table think of something to say is uh cutting edge hospitality cutting edge hospitality and so uh it was going to be a challenge as a matter of fact uh when i was visiting with the key people this past week, I said, don't you give us this final. We're going to take it up the flagpole if you do, in terms of hospitality and in terms of how it's presented relative to the national and international audience. What?

I don't know. Can you explain that? No. We're going to take it up the flagpole. Don't you give us this final because if you do, we'll take it up the flagpole. That usually means we're going to appeal. Right. But he's just saying it's actually you're going to realize you made a big

mistake with cutting edge hospitality. Does he think that raise the flag or whatever means raise the bar? Yeah, I think that's right. Because he's saying if you give it to us, we're going to raise the bar so high that no other venues are going to be able to match what we do. Oh, maybe he is saying that.

I just will tell you this. This is a triumph. This is a huge, huge success. Like what would have happened for them to say this wasn't good? They already knew they were getting something. They find out that their paperwork didn't go through or something. The real world is second. Clearly, if they got the final, they would have been like,

God, this is not really what we were looking for. This is not what we wanted. We wanted nine matches. No, but here's the Cowboys mentality. And while it's easy to sit here and say you came in second, the real world is seconds here are magnificent and that's not an exaggeration nice and that's because in the real world yes that's why the culture of uh first or nothing is ridiculous because if you're second like your company is second they're still you're still making

like hundreds of billions of dollars because the number one company is this. Yes, second's great in most venues, but he also thinks that for his Cowboys. And then this is Jerry's closing remarks. What is important is that this area, our area, and our mentality and the interest there is in just sports in general, but certainly the enthusiasm for soccer, we will take it to a level that the infrastructure and the criteria they used, they didn't anticipate. I've done that in sport, and I know how it works. And I know what this area can do.

And we will take it to another level. And when they're through with it, but showing it nationally and internationally, it'll be at another level. And so I'd like to have added the final game to it, but we're going to make it go up the flagpole. There you go. We're going up the flagpole. You know what's funny?

It sounds like – go ahead, Blake. Is this why they didn't draft worth a damn last year? Is this what they've been working on? Like, this is an NFL owner slash GM during the season commenting on soccer games at a stadium. Yeah, and he's going to run it up the flagpole. And when is this played? In the summer? I think so, yeah.

I mean, I don't know. I just feel like he should be more focused on his team. When is it played? Well, it's moved around a little bit because of COVID. But typically it's June. Okay. That'll be great for you. What if it was November?

What do you mean? I mean, I don't know. He's focused on too many things. Yeah, no, I get what you're saying. But he's been working on this for, you know, he's been probably in these meetings for three years. As I said, the World Cup. Remember the Norm Stephen moment?

Yes, yes. It was so good. Yeah, he's going to run it up the flagpole, and you're going to see the cutting-edge hospitality. I don't want to mischaracterize our area, because I do think Dallas, and Frisco in particular, it is pretty diverse. However, you know, we're not the deep south

for sure but if you were to rank cities by racial attitudes we might be pretty hospitable to some people around here and I think people from Boston are obviously thought of as assholes and very

very racist New York is New York because it's the ultimate melting pot. But I don't know, when he says cutting-edge hospitality, I'm just imagining I don't know, Team Iran trying to go out to Cracker Barrel. Oh yes, oh yes, please.

Come on in and sit down. This is great. Well, I think I don't want to take this out of context, but I think he was talking about legends around that. Oh, okay. So he could just be meaning the game day experience. Okay, when he says hospitality, he's talking about yard-long margaritas and not tagging your car with pretzels.

Okay, that's a good call. When Jerry says hospitality, he actually means nachos. Because he owns the hospitality. Okay. That's probably correct. Company. Do you want to hear Emmett's closing remarks? Always.

Because he usually can just put it all into perspective. I'm excited for the city and the region itself. To be hosting nine games is pretty amazing. And to be hosting the semifinals is also a great thing in the context of winning. But there is some disappointment here because I got to speak my mind. I cannot believe we lost the jersey. So, but it happened. And so, but Dallas itself positioned itself nicely.

And I think over the last five to ten years, the city, the state, the region itself has done a lot of things to position ourselves for a global event like this. Get specific. And we're poised to host something as big as this. And I think this region deserves to have something on a major, massive global stage like this. And so kudos to all the mayors and everyone else that have put in a tremendous amount of effort and resources to make this city and this region suitable for an event like this. So all is not lost because this is a region of champions. I mean, we're talking about the Texas Rangers who won the World Series just recently.

So it's not a lack of effort. It's not because we don't have quality sports or quality fields or quality infrastructure. We have all those things, and maybe we get it on the next go-around. On the next go-around. On the next go-around. Oh, my God. Yeah, 40 years from now. He has no idea how long it takes.

I mean, it's been 30 since the last one. Yeah, on the next go-around. Let me tell you something. Yeah, it's not because the infrastructure's bad. It's not because of the transportation. I mean, we've done everything we could. It's just the coastal lefties. It's the same of the transportation. I mean, we've done everything we could. It's just the coastal lefties. It's the same as the Cowboys getting to the Super Bowl.

I mean, you know, oblong ball. It'll bounce weird ways. That's all. It's just a matter of luck. Listen, Jerry will be 25 years into the ground before America gets another World Cup. I would like to commend Emmett for buying into the FIFA mentality. I mean, he's been calling that game day stadium for a long time. That's another great call.

Dallas Stadium. I love it. And just think about all the time and money. I'm of the belief, because I don't buy that $400 million number, I'm of the belief that it almost just ends up being a push. For all of the time and the people you have to pay to get this stuff prepared, lawyers and modifications to the stadium, modifications to your traffic flow, I'm not saying it's 400 million, but it's probably not far off from whatever they end up getting, quote unquote,

an economic return. Nobody ever talks about that part. No, but the hope is that people see what you have and want to come back. I want to move to Dallas. I want to visit Dallas. I've got to see. That water slide looks like it's going straight down. I'll go on a vacation in Dallas.

They've got the Superman ride across the street. Where is it going to be 105 degrees every day? That's where I want to go. People are not going to want to come back here. Of course not. Again, I doubt if $400 million is being made off of this in this area, maybe off advertising, maybe off TV sponsors, maybe somewhere, maybe Jerry is going to make plenty.

Don't doubt it. Back to the legend. Again, there's just not 400 million sprinkled around local businesses because I think everybody would love that. Oh yeah, that sounds good. Especially if it's mostly

in Arlington. Yeah. I've seen a lot of people and heard a lot of people in the media saying, oh man, I can't wait to go and I will find a way to get to this game. I would like to say if someone gave me a ticket, I would happily not go. That's the dumbest thing you've ever said. Because this sounds like a ginormous beating. Getting into Arlington, into that stadium with 100,000 people,

getting out of there, that's going to be a horrible experience. It's just an Airbnb opportunity for your house, like the Eclipse. For sure. That's a good call. That's a great call. We should plan that now. I don't even know if Grapevine allows it, though. Because I know Arlington, I'm pretty sure Arlington banned it.

That's awesome. Oh, yeah. I think they had a couple incidents. Who would ever Airbnb to Arlington? People at Cowboys games. Can you imagine that? Well, I'm going on a vacation home in Arlington.

People next to Lambeau do it. I've seen those houses. Those are really cool. I'd do that though. Rent this house it. Yeah. I've seen those houses. Those are really cool. Yeah. I do that, though. Rent this house out. Yeah. I would. No problem.

Lock the den. We're good. Yeah. I mean, you could rake if they would let you do it. But a lot of these suburbs are pretty against it. But if you live in Dallas, you better plan a vacation. It's going to be a miserable summer. You just think the amount of people?

No. Well, yeah, that part would suck, but you could also make a stupid amount of money. Yeah. Like five times what you could normally Airbnb your house for. I got the lake. Oh, could you rent out your car? I'm sure. Turo?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to be a wild situation. Do you think Grapevine Ford would be mad if I rented out my car? My loner. Yeah. Hey, can I get another one, too, this week? Well, that was glorious.

Well, we've gone a long time, right? Did we go too long to do news and everything else, or what do you guys want to do? No, because we've got that little chunk in the middle there. I have no idea how long we've been going. We can do quick news. It's definitely over two hours. Here's Jay with the Dumb Zone News. I'll have to hold my Jay-Z Grammys thing for you for tomorrow.

Okay. Because it's pretty good. Hey, am I supposed to care about some song that was like 30 years ago I thought kind of sucked? I love that song, and I thought it was really, really cool. Was it? I thought so, but you would not. So I'm supposed to now tread lightly on Tracy Chapman? I always loved that song.

I'm supposed to now tread lightly on Tracy Chapman? I always loved that song. And, you know, he covered it, whatever the dude's name is. Country music guy? Luke Combs, maybe. He covered it, but whenever they were, like, introing it, they didn't say, like, she's going to play it, basically, and he's just going to kind of sing.

So that was cool. Was it? Yeah, it was awesome, Dan. Okay. You fired up, Blake? I gotta be honest with you, like, I watched a decent amount of this just because it was kind of on in the background. I guess it's just that I like

most pop music now. I recorded it because of news teases. Yeah. So a couple quick ones for you here. The internet is ablaze today with the story of... Do you know who Lisa Ann is, Dan? I feel like that's a porn star. It is. Probably for a minute.

She was kind of a dynasty. She had about a five-year run of Nalin Palin, of course. Oh, okay. There you go. Well, someone posted a video of her last night where she's being taken in handcuffs out of Radio Music City Hall. Radio City Music Hall. Radio City Music Hall, yeah, where the Rockettes are. Yeah, you just said a couple things in the wrong order today.

Yeah. Have you noticed that, Blake? What did I say? Radio Music City Hall? I was trying not to... I was trying to let it go. Do you feel like he's done it a couple times for different things? Yeah.

But I was just... He's our friend and I think we should just let him go. Tell me. I just feel like he got shaken up on the snowboard. Oh, you think he fell? Yeah, I just feel like... I wear a helmet. His head's a little...

You did? Oh, yeah. You're not going to see too many people wear a helmet. His head's a little... You did? Oh, yeah. You're not going to see too many people without a helmet. He's probably still dehydrated. Yeah. I feel like I've been fine today. I said a couple of words incorrectly. You said Jerry built that TV for stadium and concerts.

That was one of them. Jerry built that stadium for the TV and concerts is what I should have said. Yeah, okay. But I didn't. Why are you guys being pussies? Just correct me when I'm wrong. It ultimately doesn't matter. Whoever heard you say that knew what you meant.

But I can see Dan over there. All right, there's your news. Oh, come on. What do we got? So Lisa Ann got arrested. She was actually going to see at Radio City Music Hall Matt Reif. Oh, Jake. Who's that?

We've talked about this several times. See, why don't you get on him for not remembering? Well, that's his thing. He's old. There you go. You're supposed to be perfect. Basically, once a week now, I need to mix up two words in a four-word statement, and that could be my thing.

Yeah, yeah. Matt Reif is the social media comedian. He's the ripped guy, thing. Yeah, yeah. Matt Rife is the social media comedian. He's the ripped guy, TikTok. Oh, yeah. Jake hates him because he code switches from time to time. And because he's not funny. And I gave it a legitimate shot. I wanted him to be funny

because I want there to be really popular younger comedians. He was supposed to be Gen Z's comedian because he's not, he doesn't, like, he's very straight-laced. Like, he's not going to attack a race or gender or whatever. But now, all of a sudden, he's starting to. Well, yeah. And, you know, on TikTok, that was not going to fly with his target audience, which was 17-year-old girls.

Because, again, he's all ripped and stuff. He's got a ton of plastic surgery. Like, he looks like a model human. And then he made a joke about, like about women getting back in the kitchen in his new special, and they were like, what? So anyways, he's performing at Radio City Music Hall. Now we're in his head.

That's why I shouldn't have brought it up. Don't look at him. See, I've learned, even when he says he has a buddy or something like that, don't move. Right, no, don't play. Don't puppet. If he senses it, then he's going to stop down.

He's not going to say what he was going to say. You just let him go. She was dragged out in handcuffs. Oh, he's learning. And someone is filming. At the end of the video, you can hear someone in the background faintly yelling, Free Lisa. Wait, why was she dragged out there?

So she says, I was dragged out of Matt Reif show Tonight in handcuffs stating I was using my phone I had not used my phone I was just enjoying the show 45 minutes in handcuffs sent to an Ambulance and released Meanwhile I missed the show I was so looking forward to Okay

She then said This MF for holding my purse for me after handcuffing me from some alleged cell phone use during the Matt Rife show when NYPD tells you your purse is not yours you have no right if you think different you get 5150

in the hospital which is like when you're clinically insane also a great Sammy Hagar album. So is she, like, someone trying to get clicks? Well, I mean, she's pretty much, I mean, she did get arrested. So from what I heard from some of the replies that I saw to all this, she was being, like, you could tell she's drunk.

Okay. And so she was being loud. Okay, Karen. And to a point where he definitely knows who she is. He was aware she was there and kind of referred to it a couple times and was pretty uncomfortable about the whole deal. Okay, so security clearing out someone that's messing with the show. You've seen that at comedy shows before.

Yeah, okay. So that's probably what happened. I don't think she was trying to get clicks. I think she was messed up. Yeah. And thought she could do whatever she wanted because usually she probably can. Now, what's going to be interesting is,

and I'll try to get the research for you guys on this, is to just see the uptick in her searches. Because she's kind of yesterday's news. But I would imagine that today she'll experience a significant uptick in traffic. Well, her state of being dragged out did not

make me want to go look at her videos. Women get older. What's your problem, dude? I want to look at the younger ones. The younger ones. This is a super sad story, but it's very interesting, so I want to do it.

I was surprised to learn that you guys didn't do this story last week, but maybe it happened Friday during the show the news came out. So we talked, I can't remember if we did this on the show or not, but I showed Blake a video of some Houthi rebels.

Iranian-backed group, separatist group, and Yemen, I believe. And a couple of months ago, there was a video of them attacking a ship, a cargo ship. And it looks like Call of Duty. Because they're GoProing it and all that sort of thing.

And they just strike. They land a chopper on this cargo ship. And those are not that heavily guarded, I guess, because they were able to immediately overrun whatever security was there. This has been happening a lot since... It seems like there's been an uptick since the Israel-Palestine thing. They just figured out, we don't need to attack anything on land. We can jam them up economically

by just seizing all these ships in the middle of the ocean. They're not prepared for it. They can't defend all of them that well. I mean, there's tens of thousands of those things in the ocean at any given time. That's an old-timey tactic. It's pretty good, yeah. Go to the sea.

So, earlier this month, all the details of this just came out earlier in January, there was a Navy SEALs operation for two dudes to try to board one of these things and just take it over. Because

this was a ship that was carrying Iranian-made weapons to Yemen. Because Iran funds them. So somehow they were trying to get this ship of weapons from Iran to Yemen. And this is the sort of stuff that kind of gives me chills because it's exactly like you see it in the movie. So these two dudes, middle of the night, have almost like the motorized raft type thing

that you see them use. They go however long it takes to get to this ship from their launch point. Probably pretty far in the middle of the night. And now it's time to board the ship. And they've got Navy SEAL gear

which is probably super heavy. They're heavily armed. And when they're attempting to board the ship, one of them, his name is Chris Chambers, fell in. We're in the middle of the ocean. And a guy named Nathan Gage Ingram, who is, I believe, from Flower Mound. What's the Davy Seale bit? You don't leave anybody behind. Okay.

He jumps in. And they both died. Both died. 27-year-old dude from here in North Texas. Yeah, because you also hear sometimes people that are left behind because that's the greater good, right? You don't hear about that with the Seals. Really? No.

Well, why didn't they all just end up keep jumping in? There were only two of them. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. So they all did. Maybe they needed, like, my first thought was, damn, you're going to pull this off with two dudes? Yeah.

But, I mean, they are the best of the best. Yeah, maybe you needed two to pull it off. That's what I was thinking. You don't want two boats. Maybe it makes too much noise or something. The crazy part about this, I know that action movies are ridiculous, but that night we watched Under Siege 2 or Under Siege the first one and there's a scene where like

Steven Seagal in full wetsuit with rifles is trying to get to the side of like a cargo ship actually in that case it was a battleship and I'm like damn there's dudes doing that there's actually dudes in the middle of the night

aren't you surprised if this actually happened Saturday, you're saying? No, no, it didn't. The report just now came out. Oh, you read the report comes out as you're watching. Okay. Yeah. It happened back on January 11th. You know, the military has no...

Even that, though, I would think this would be a highly classified and you'll never know. Like, this is just the missions these people do. And, like, now everybody knows they're after this cargo ship. I know. And that now they'll be on alert. The cargo ships that are shipping guns. Yeah. And I would think it's going to be harder to infiltrate it the next time.

Yeah. Which is why you don't tell. Yeah, and I don't know how that works. When you notify the family you gotta go it's top secret. I can't. Yeah, that's a tricky one

for sure. We talked about this a couple of months ago and now it is apparently a reality. And we have names attached to this now as well.

The Steroid Olympics. Peter Thiel, the PayPal founder with Elon, who bankrolled ending Gawker over Hulk Hogan's penis. Okay.

It's his deal. And now we have a little bit of information on how it's exactly going to work. They say that it will happen every year. It's not some lame-o four-year BS. And it will feature sports such as, let's see,

there will be combat sports, track and field, obviously. There will be weightlifting. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Of course. And so they'll be like, this is the world record. Yeah. You think it was lifting 1,000 pounds.

It's lifting 1,800. It's like shooting a 56 at live. See, this is idiocracy. I know. Because this is an SNL bit, a literal SNL bit. It was the steroid Olympics. Oh, that's not Hans and Franz? I think it might have been Kevin Nealon that he's Hans and Franz,

but I don't think it was. Have you ever seen that one, Blake? The steroid Olympics, he reaches down to lift the bar, and his arms are still attached to the bar, and now they're just spurting blood because his arms ripped off. He's not laughing. Never seen it. No.

They will have also aquatics and gymnastics. So aquatics, gymnastics, weightlifting, combat sports. If I told you that King of Queens did that same thing, you think you'd just bust out laughing? But because it happened on SNL and Kevin Nealon did it? Now they're mad at each other and not me for mixing up a few words one time. It's just legendary. Oh, okay. It's just well-known.

I'm supposed to laugh at it because it's legendary. I'm gonna let him keep going. Am I wrong? I don't want any part of this. It's called the All-Drug Olympics. Don't make me watch your video. Watch the video. Does this ever turn out the way that the person intends it to? Watch the video.

Do you want me to just die laughing? I just want you to watch the video, and I want your real reaction. This is the best case outcome for me. How long is this? I don't know. Let's see. Let's throw it down to Kevin Nealon. Probably too long.

Oh, it's Kevin Nealon is the reporter. An awful lot of weight, Dennis, and here he goes. Hi! Ah! Oh, he's pulled his arms off! It's Bill Hartman. He's pulled his arms off. That's got to be disappointing to the big Russian.

You know, you hate to see something like this happen, Dennis. He probably doesn't have that much pain right now, but I think tomorrow he's really going to feel that, Dennis. Back to you. Thank you, Kevin. Puppy. Okay. It's fine.

It's only like an iconic, well-known moment. What are you doing? Give it up, dude. Great. That's a good place to say there's your news. I'm not giving up the dumb zone news there's news yours subscribe all right i'm gonna do this really fast because i can go to the bathroom history today in history don't don't have someone in your kitchen jake whatever just be the same idiot you were five minutes ago don Don't try to be smart now.

That's what I tell myself. Yeah, why? Kind of bulls out of the barn or whatever. Cows out of the barn. We're dumb. Just be the guy that Sometimes I think about that. I'm like, what if I could really change who I am? Just be the guy that yells at us that we didn't

know that Frederick Douglass and Lincoln had famous debates even though they were like best friends. Because a lot of best friends debate things nationally. Think about this. Hillary and Bill

or Hillary and... Was Trump at Chelsea's wedding? Of course he was. The whole thing is a ruse. Well, that's because they have us fighting amongst each other. Yeah.

Just like today. We're the lower class fighting... This is fun. Yeah, have us fighting amongst each other. Yeah. Just like today. We're the lower class fighting. This is fun. Yeah, we're fighting amongst each other, and they're just trying to keep us apart. These elites. Anyway, it's Monday, February 5th when we're recording live to tape. This is like hour eight.

How do I identify the video that you made me watch? Is it the steroid weightlifter loses his arms? How should I put that video in the notes? So on this day in 1840, the Republic of Texas Come and take it. passed a bill requiring all free African Americans, they must leave Texas.

Yeah, you're free, but... So if we see a black guy here... You're either an escaped slave or... You're mine. On this day in 1999, Dirk Nowitzki made his NBA debut. Boy. He went off. He scored two points, zero buckets.

Those are just free throws. In that era, before the Euro movement, how do you think my dad or football basketball coaches that I was around, how do you think, you know, my dad or football basketball coaches that I was around, how do you think they felt about? So he's seven feet tall, right? Like, okay, finally. He's from Germany. That's a little weird.

But, like, no, no, no. He just, like, kind of spots up in the midrange. Stands at the perimeter. On this day in 2017, it's the Patriots' comeback. 25-point deficit. Kyle Shanahan will never get up off the mat. Ended his career. Dan Quinn, head coach, of course.

That's when he had to really kind of take some time for himself to reflect in Maui. Did you see Dan Quinn got Coach Bro? Oh, yeah. That's for later in the week. How great is that? It's awesome. Kingsbury against Dallas. It's not great as a Cowboy fan,

but the fact that the Eagles are the Eagles, Washington has a new ownership. Yeah. Kellen. Oh, that's right. That's what I was forgetting. Kellen to the Eagles. I love it.

Yeah, it's going to be great. Those four free wins that you like to point out for Dak are going to be a lot tougher to come by before long. Dan Quinn, he knows Dax. I like it. I like it a lot. He knows what Micah likes to do. And on this day in 2020, one year ago, the Dallas Mavericks traded Spencer Dinwiddie,

Dorian Finney-Smith, a 20-29 first, and second rounders in 27 and 29 to the Brooklyn Nets for Markeith Morris. You got to get an enforcer in here. And Kyrie Irving, who has proven to be an Iron Man, played every game since. In fact, if you go percentage-wise, I believe he has appeared in fewer games than Porzingis. Ouch. On a rate base. Doesn't appear to be getting any better either. Well, he didn't really have a history of that previous though.

No, no. He would not only get hurt and miss games, he would take stands against policies and miss games. Or his sister has a birthday. Special player though. Today's birthdays include Roger Staubach, 82. Captain America. Craig Morton, 81 Do you know the Roger Staubach-Craig Morton connection, Blake?

No Yes, they were both quarterbacks at the same time Under Landry I believe There was a physical altercation Correct? I don't know about that. They had to run the plays in play by play.

They were both very good. And Landry had them, yes. They used to have linemen run in the plays. Or like Jake said, maybe a wide receiver. Yeah, that's typical. But they would alternate each play for a game. Quarterbacks? Yes.

So Morton went in on second down, and as the play's happening, now Roger Staubach runs in, and he's told the play. He knows it. He doesn't need to. And what's even crazier, like what year was that? It was 70s, early 70s? Yeah. Steve Spurrier did this with Florida in the 90s.

I didn't know that. Yeah. So, and then Craig Morton, he finally decided on Roger Staubach, but it's like, hey, I have two clearly good quarterbacks. Let's get something for Craig Morton. So they traded him to Denver, and the Cowboys ended up playing Craig Morton and Denver in the Super Bowl. to Denver, and the Cowboys ended up playing Craig Morton and Denver in the Super Bowl.

I just watched that episode on NFL Network. They've been recapping the Super Bowls. Nice. Roger's fight was with Clint Longley. Huh. Yeah. David Beeler is 37. You know his bit, Blake?

Is it sad that I know more about David Beeler than Craig Morton? Probably not. Yeah, David Beeler, kicker for USC, would cover kickoffs and dated a Hooters waitress. But they drafted him just for kickoffs. Well, that was the special teams draft. Yeah. Like they already had a kicker. They didn't plan to replace the kicker, but they said this guy's leg,

he'll boom it out of the end zone every time. Yeah. Like, they already had a kicker. They didn't plan to replace the kicker, but they said this guy's leg. Yeah. He'll boom it out of the end zone every time. Every time. And they drafted, not like unrestricted free agent. And it might have been the third or fourth round. Were they trying to sell us on he could kick 60-yard field goals? No. Maybe that was also.

Okay. Maybe he would do the long field goal. He wouldn't be the regular kicker, but yeah, if that's what you mean, yeah. Don Cherry is 90. Did it work out? Kemp's been. No, he was not on the team very long. Mark Hamburger is 37.

Norm got so excited when the Rangers acquired him. Oh, my God. That sounds right. Roberto Alomar is 56. He once spit on an umpire. Yeah. I think he also made fun of his disabled son. The umpire's son?

Yeah. Bobby Brown is not his own. Hey, my son's a... It's hard to... Bobby Brown is 55. He beat up his wife. Many times. Also had to fetch doo-doo out of her bottom.

Mark Furman is 72. Some say racist. But just the people that he called the N-word. Those are the only people that said he was racist. You know what's funny about that? People often focus on Ollie North when Fox News needs a

special correspondent or an analyst for something foreign policy related. Especially as it relates to Iran, they will put Ali North on. Blake, just for some background, Oliver North was a general in the U.S. military who was arrested in an arms trading deal

called Iran-Contra in the 80s. He was literally arrested. When there's a big crime case, maybe a murder, they go to Mark Furman. Just because it's a name you've heard of. Yeah. I mean, it would literally be like bringing on Timothy McVeigh or something

during the Boston Marathon bombing. Right. Timmy, what are his thoughts right now? What do you think? It's insane. It is. Find anmy, what are his thoughts right now? What do you think? It's insane. It is. Find an expert, though. Christopher Guest is 76.

I like some of his stuff. He knows the truth about Jamie Lee Curtis. Does she also have a wiener? Okay. I've heard she does. Why didn't you go with your typical? What do you call her? You don't know who I am.

You don't know anything about me. I change things up. Okay. I eat different things for lunch sometimes. I need to recognize that. What did you used to call her? I was yelling at my wife this weekend. Oh.

Berating her, actually, in front of many people. Right. No, because she was upset with me because I wouldn't try a new restaurant. And I said, I told her I'd like to grab some strange now and again, but I don't do that. That's a horrible

analogy. I have one lady. Why can't I like the same thing and just eat that all the time? You're telling me I gotta just be with you all the time. How'd that go over? She said it was a horrible analogy too. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.

I mean. She doesn't get it. It's sort of, I just think, I want you to be happy. So that's what I always come back to. But it is somewhat unnerving at times. And I'll tell you about like, oh, there's this great place this. There's this great place that. It's down the street.

There's this great place this. Knowing that you would love it. No, I'll go. Knowing. We are starving for new restaurants. We want to add something new to the rotation. But the thing is, she had just tried one the night before, and it was terrible. And so I need the – okay, we got our rotation of seven places.

If we mix in one new one and it sucks, the next night I got to go back to something I know. We're going to Eatsy's the next night. Anybody following me here? He does it right by eating... Yeah, it's a palate cleanser. He does it right. If you're going to eat out for one meal a day every day,

he does it right by eating his boring meal at lunch. Because then you're excited throughout the rest of the day. He does it right by eating his boring meal at lunch. Because then you're excited throughout the rest of the day. A lot of times I have problems with that. Like, oh, I made a sandwich or I had leftovers at lunch and then I find out we're not eating out that night and I'm like, this day was a complete disaster.

Yeah, it's all bad. But every day I do have the prepared lunch. Tim Meadows is 63. He was on Saturday Night Live, but I won't even bore you with that, Blake. The Ladies' Man? Don't ask Blake. Because he thinks if it was on SNL, then... How bad does it get?

Like, Happy Gilmore? What do you mean? Like, any movie that came from SNL characters during that time. You don't like Happy Gilmore? No, I love Happy Gilmore. I'm a big Adam Sandler fan. You guys know that. Like any movie that came from SNL characters during that time. You don't like Happy Gilmore? No, I love Happy Gilmore. I'm a big Adam Sandler fan. You guys know that.

Where do you think he came from? Cosby Show. He was on Cosby Show. Every actor has to come from something. I think he was Theo's friend. Jennifer Jason Leigh is 62, Fargo. And she got naked in Fast Times. Yeah.

Laura Linney is 60. Jake doesn't like her. You know why? No. She's the mom in Ozark. Oh, you don't like Ozark. No. She was also in The Truman Show.

Chris Parnell, 57, Dr. Spichemin from Rick and Morty. Chris Parnell? Dr. Spichemin from 30 Rock. He's SNL, right? He's also SNL, yeah. I wasn't making sure I was thinking of the right guy. And he's Jerry in Rick and Morty. And he's also the program director.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I like to imagine. Well, guys, yeah. I like to imagine. Well, guys. Blake? Thoughts closing? So, there was too much weight on the bar, and so when he tried to pull up, like, his arm stuck.

Is that... But at some point, he was able to lift the weight, which is why he was trying it. And he's on steroids, so he could do a lot. Get him out of here. Adios, mofo. Got the soul dropping at three That's alright, alright with me I've been waiting all damn day Isn't that still a thing? Where's my Cajun seasoning? You know it's life to take
