Seriously, did you? No! I know you're ready to roll.

Did you guys? I do just chill. What? I'm not answering those. We all want to know. No. We all want to know. It's not me.

It's them. I'm doing this for the people. I'm a conduit. I'm not answering those questions. I'm just their mouthpiece. I'm not. OK. All right, all right, all right, all right, all right. All right, all right, all right, all right, all right. Hey, everybody. I'm okay.

Hey everybody, it's Friday. And it's three o'clock. So by now we should be half in the bag. Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Ruskies. You know? But instead, we are beginning a broadcast. A very special. A special edition. A very special edition. You know, I wanted to do a podcast called that about all the drug shows from the 90s. It already exists.

I'm gonna have the same idea. Oh, really? Yeah. Let's do it anyway. Tonight on a very special episode. Well we kind of did that right? We taught people the dangers. We just did a really long episode. Yeah. Well yes, hello friends I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jay Kemp. I'm Blake Jones. I'm also looking over here at Clayton. Oddly, to my right, that's not usually how it is.

What's he doing? Clayton is lightly grinning on the road, which means we're OK. He's not furious yet. OK. No, no, no. You get all the different emotions, the rainbow of emotions when you deal

with Clayton on a road show. Oh, man. I love a tech guy. Trepidation, complete defeat. I just went and sat in the bathroom. Mildly apologetic, and then a little defensive. Yeah, oh yeah, wouldn't be complete. Ready for the show to be over as soon as it begins. The second he wakes up.

Anyway, we're broadcasting live to tape today and live on YouTube from a place called the Constellation Club. High atop, this is literally high atop a building. What is this building? It is not Nakatomi Plaza. Is the flyer I was handed here by the flyer does say Nakatomi Plaza. Bitfolks. We are high atop the 26th floor. We are in Las Calinas. The city of opportunity they call it. Do they really? I don't know. I don't know. We could see Clayton's dingy

dank apartment across the way there. Future Dateline subject apartment. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Anyway, we're here because this is the place that we had our Christmas party. We call it Christmas. We're bringing that back.

And we liked it so much we said let's do a Christmas in July. Don't they have like a Christmas in July thing coming up? Oh man, I'm sure they do, but that was big for the Tarrant County mom and grandma. Go shopping for Christmas in July. In fact, they do have two days of festive fun. Yeah. A gala in the sky with a silent auction, master chefs, dinner and dancing, followed by a themed golf tournament and plenty of surprises along the way.

Every jingle, swing, and toast helps support our mission to make a meaningful impact in our community. That is the Constellation Club and Hackberry Creek Country Club's Christmas in July Gala, which will be held Friday July 18th, which is something you can get involved in. If you called the Constellation Club at 972-869-2266, they will give you full details and help you register. But we are not here just to promote that. We're here just to have a good time, be here on a Friday afternoon, kind of a happy hour type thing. They got deals. If

you want to just stop in, we have been promoting it, but if you now say, you know what, like if you live your life like me, I don't like to schedule things that are not our show. You know that. I do know that. But I do like to do things on a whim. So stop by. What do I got? $2 wings.

$2 tamales. $2 tamales. Can you believe it? The proliferation from when it began. The regular tamale price of over $2. I'm hoping, or else that would be a bad promotion. How's your tamale consumption gone since the husk cherry was popped?

Great. Yeah, you're still. No, Tamale Dave hooked me up with a bunch of tamales. I eat tamales a minimum weekly Which is a lot if you considered I never had a tamale in my whole no, I think it's huge I just kind of ease into I would say it's very unique to Pass the age of 50 introduce a new food to your diet that you just start eating every week You tend to assume you know all the foods Especially the ones produced in countries directly to the south of you.

I thought all they had was tacos. It's like somebody who hasn't seen The Wire, you know? Yeah. Like I'm jealous of that. Yeah, it is great. No, the tamale. Who knew? No one really knew about the tamale until I brought it to you. And see, this is what I tell you. When I talk to you guys about a little thumb in the behind action,

you're like, ooh, never. Well, that's the same sort of deal. OK, I'll let you do it one of these days. Thank you. Jake has tiny computers still. Yep. If you've been hearing about his tiny computer saga. It's so cute, so little.

Oh, god. I would recommend. I told Dan. It looks like one that you would give to your kid. I recommend to everyone. Hey, I'm prepping you to have a computer. Here, use this one. Go without your normal devices for like two weeks and get a shittier version of it.

It's great. You'll appreciate what you have a lot more. That's why your wife should let you have a little strange now and again. Just to... Yeah. She can't be as good as you, honey. She can go for it too. And Jake did not do me wrong, because the Constellation Club

is a bit of a higher-tone place than we're usually invited to. And I told Jake I wanted to wear shorts. Oh, you didn't ask me this time. I knew that you wouldn't pay attention to me, because you're a jerk. But at the Jordan wedding that we went to, everybody to me, because you're a jerk, but at the Jordan wedding that we went to, everybody told me they would wear shorts with me and then showed up in suits.

But Jake did not today. He's in solidarity. We are one. I got a pretty great reaction to the thighs on the tin or whatever we were on on Fox. That pumped up the confidence a little bit. Yeah, but Steve Novel is the host, so. Of course you did.

So? Fair play to it. Yeah. The other day, I took a coaching certification quiz for youth soccer. I mean, I hope it applies to all sports, because none of the questions were about soccer. But what they were about is what is and isn't sexual abuse,

and almost exclusively that. I hope you passed. Well, I got some of the questions wrong. Because I feel like this is everything now. They're trying to get cute with these questions. Like I was telling TC, one of them was something to the effect of you're on a trip and you find out that two of your athletes,

male and female, who are 17 years old, consumed alcohol and had sex. And the next morning agreed they rushed into it because they were both intoxicated. And it was like, what did a rape occur? And I'm like I mean the old way we would have said definitely not but I thought the new way was yes there was alcohol and it's like no prude wrong pussy and I'm like well I don't know I

thought we'd updated the whole thing I don't know you can't ask me this that's not yeah there's not enough details there to really determine I hate questions like that you think there's no details in that one. This next one, I pulled the image, but I guess I don't need it. It just said, does hazing help team bonding and cohesion, true or false? And I'm like, there's a lot of things about hazing that are bad.

Like, you didn't ask me that. You asked me, is it good for bonding? And I think, yeah, it's obviously. For like the majority of the guys, right? Yeah, team. Like if anybody. So you said yes? No, I wanted to get it right.

They'd already slapped me on the wrist over the 17-year-old whore. And was it no? Yeah, no. They say any hazing is bad hazing. There's no good hazing. So carrying somebody's pads after hazing is bad hazing. There's no good hazing. So carrying somebody's pads after practice, that's hazing. Yeah, I don't think there's a problem with that. I wouldn't want to do it, but I would.

And then I look over at you, my des. I would do that if I'm a rookie. I would have carried pads. I do wonder if we're getting to an era where you can't like shit on your buddies and sports at all Male female otherwise, what do you mean? Like that's what hazing is like busting balls or like making fun of somebody they were describing that as hazing in this training Like good hey, there is good hazing. I think the Rangers minor league system obviously comes to mind such that's fun haze. What a treat Everyone's just jacking everyone off. Yeah they're smiling. Spring training. I started the Karen Reed documentary last night. You know about her. I don't even know what that means. This woman in Boston who was arrested for the murder of her boyfriend who was a cop.

Okay that rings a bell. She was found not guilty yesterday or this week. Spoiler. It's a wild one. I want to put that on your docket for the weekend if we're pre-cand checking. Karen Reed, well, because I already started the submersible documentary and that looks like a slog. What happens? It explodes. How many is it? It's just one, but it's an hour 51. Oh, that's how they should do it.

Bin Laden, the Bin Laden doc is dope. Very good, recommend that. This is the freedom I have after quitting books. It's been one day. I know, and look at this, it's a game changer. And remember when he would look down upon us from his high top perch of, what is this gonna be?

I'm not a guy who sits and watch TV all weekend. Right. I'm out there doing things. In fact, I think he said, I got a master's degree, so I'm really good at reading. Oh, that is what I said. I forgot. Play that drop.

Yeah. That's actually not that far off from how douchey what I said was. So the Karen Reed, I got to put that on my list. Yeah, I think if you want a show you can watch with your wife. Netflix? Yeah. HBO? HBO. Yeah, I think you if you want to show you can watch with your wife Netflix Yeah, HBO HBO, okay max yeah, really HBO still called max But will be HBO shout out to Travis Who I met yesterday at Lowe's

To having a nice air-cond conditioned walk, making a phone call. Nothing wrong with that, is there? No. Is that wrong? Am I the new mall walker? And a guy just saw you at Lowe's and noticed that you were Dan who walks at the... He's like, I also like walking around Lowe's a little bit and I'm like, dude, I'm gonna buy, today I'm buying paper towels. We go 6 equals 12. I don't like to go crazy with the 6 equals 18. That's just too fat of a rule. Don't you feel like buying like a nail or a screw so your balls don't just like fully

recede in? What do you mean? We got a big hardware store. Are these triple picker uppers? They sell. They sell cleaning products. People get, you know, we get dirty on the work site. That's true.

You do. You and the boys. Yeah. Oiled up. As you know, I already, because you walk in my garage at least once a week, I already got five of those. But I'm really stocked. I can't wait for the next pandemic.

Because the first one I had nothing. And now I'm ready. I got so many paper towels and toilet paper anded. I can't wait for the next pandemic. Because the first one I had nothing. And now I'm ready. I got so many paper towels and toilet paper and water. I am ready. I'm just hoping that a virus breaks out. But it's going to be different. No, yeah. We have no shot at taking the next one seriously.

If they try again, everyone's just going to be like, jack off motion. Well, the toilet paper really didn't make a ton of sense. It's going to be something nonsensical like that again. What do you mean? It was ridiculous there was a run on toilet paper during COVID. Why?

Why was that the thing to hoard? Because of all the things every day you need to make sure you're able to do, not have your butt chock full of shit. That's pretty low on my priority list. OK. To hoard toilet paper. I don't know if it's going to OK. It's a hoard toilet paper.

I don't know if it's going to be. It's important, I think. Sure, but why was that the thing? Just in case, we're locked in our house for six months. And that's the thing. And I am ready to do that now. And all the ones afraid of us. I got tamales.

And the more tamales you have, I found you need more toilet paper. And a clean ass. Yeah. So on today's program, we'll have John Machota to talk Dallas Cowboys. Looks like somebody put today in Twitter on the run sheet. We will talk Shadi.

Oh, I have a little sports. Oh, we have a sit-in too, a sit-in on the road, Matt Stubbs. We've met him before. For sure. Good dude. The great Matt Stubbs. Give it up, everyone. Hey, we'll give you one applause for your sit-in on the road Matt Stubbs we've met him before for sure good do great Matt Stubbs give it up hey we'll give you one applause for your sit-in he moved for us and he brought Philip Kingston now I don't know if like if we get Philip Kingston on the mic do we get charged money for that yeah when Philip

calls us no he tends to charge us for the talking. I'll have to raise prices again. That's why I don't respond to his text either. Yes. Because I know that's an extra charge. But he may join us. I don't know if he's here at the behest of Matt Stubbs, who I know he is friendly with, or if it's

at the behest of some local media news that he saw today. So I don't know. This is like his version of ambulance chasing. He just shows up at podcasts and he's handing out business cards. I just know that Brunig texted me earlier. I've been getting lawyer texts all day. The most lawyer texts I've had since about a year ago. Was it a year or two? It was two. Goddamn.

Two years. I think that yeah it's... It's so long ago that I kind of forget about it. It's weird man and I don't know maybe we'll talk about it longer at some point but I appreciated that everybody was very fired up about that news today but I feel weird everybody being mad on your side if you're like whatever. I honestly do sometimes I forget I worked there. I know that's sad but you know when they Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind you or whatever you just kind of move on. Yeah what are you gonna do? I hope appear on their show. Sure, yeah. Maybe we could start doing a once a week,

terrestrial radio show sometime. Let's see here, let's do this. Unless we have anything else to jerk around about. Nah, I got some pre-can later. Some pre-can check? Yeah. From the wonderful world of sports, radio sports, scoreboard. What a beautiful day Daniel. Oh yeah I like that. It is beautiful look at that. Look at those clouds. Look at the sky Frito. What a

place. Yeah. Like we were here before at night and it looked very cool all lit up and everything but this is a I don know, people live like this. I know, yeah. People stop here after work and have meetings. They wear cool watches and stuff, you know, and then they go somewhere after this, you know? This is not us, but yeah, I appreciate them having us. No, this is great.

Honestly, this is like where a cowboy would hang out. Because I was actually trying to book as somebody a couple weeks ago And I'm like well, we're gonna be at a place where like you belong, but we don't Do we have that person no? Oh, you'd know Well, I don't know I didn't know we had today in Twitter and then here it is This goes under the heading of it's everywhere I look Every they all look like the girl that dumped me But

This better not be The hell is it? Oh, I don't know if I loaded it up here it is This is Scottie Scheffler. So of course Just sitting there watching the entire Scottie Scheffler Of course, I'm just sitting there watching the entire Scottie Scheffler press conference at the US Open. As you will. Last weekend.

Local guy, I'm rooting for my guy. Dominating golf recently. And what were they talking about here? Let's see. Early in my career I was able to come out to courses and I could spend as much time. Oh, it's funny, because they were, what they were in the middle of talking about here

is as he's older, and now you're a father, and you have a family, and is that really ground, like, it's so funny how we can twist any narrative we want. Like, anything that happens, and I suppose you know this, political science guy, you could take any side and then craft a narrative to where that makes sense, you know?

Sure, do it in our personal lives. But it's the, if Dak has a kid, then we're like, oh, this will improve his game. If they win, yeah, if they lose. Because, well, and I remember when I had a kid, it affected my work very negatively, because I couldn't prep as much, I couldn't pay attention as much. I had to deal with this kid. Like before the kid, after work, I might just go to the ballpark and just stay at the game and be there all night

and have firsthand stories about being, you know, I don't have that now. All I have is I was up late and walking this little alien thing that's crying. And I'm taking it in a car ride at one in the morning to make it shut up and then I'm shaking the shit out of like I'm I'm going nuts but They're crafting this for Scottie Scheffler and to his credit

He kind of does talk about how the kid doesn't make things actually better for golfing early in my career Oh, and then he's going to go into the audio I want you to hear. I was able to come out to courses and I could spend as much time as I wanted to out here. And that's just because I didn't really have any other obligations. I just come up and I could just practice, practice, practice

and do whatever I wanted to do. But now things a little bit differently with having a wife and a son and some other obligations and tournaments as well. It it's just the schedule is just a bit different. Last question here on the right. Hey Scottie, I read a story from 2016 that said you rushed through your first round to watch the NBA finals. Do you recall that and will this year's finals affect your schedule this week? This year's finals probably not going to affect my schedule as much.

I think Golden State was playing Cleveland last time in the finals and I really wanted to watch that because you had LeBron playing staff. You know, ever since the Mavs traded Luca, I've just been a little bit, you know, a little bummed watching the NBA. It hurts a little bit still, so we'll have to regroup and get ready for next season for the Mavs. We appreciate the time Scotty. Thanks. He truly is one of us. Yeah. Like that's exactly the way I feel like I'm watching it and like yeah. Were you watching Sunday night? Yeah game seven. Game seven. That's the first game seven since 2016 I think. Interesting. Yeah. Interesting. No, very excited about that.

Would love to see Carlisle do it. Is this true? This is what I ask for most things I see on Twitter nowadays. I saw it said that if he wins, he would be the oldest finals winning coach in NBA history, and that feels like impossible. There's no way like you tell me Red Arbok was younger than Rick Carlisle when he... Well I wouldn't I wouldn't have thought of Red Arbok I would have thought of was Pop not older the last time they won? It's been over 10 years but I have no

idea. I guess there's no way to find out. No, don't look it up. No. The Pacers thing is great. The Pacers thing feels like, I don't know, it feels like when Keller tried to split their school board or something and the people were like, fuck you, and you're like, oh we still have some of that. The fact that the Pacers can just win an NBA championship with the level of elite talent in the NBA in their Indiana. They've been built through the draft. I heard Zach Low call him the most unlikely NBA champion ever.

Pretty good trade too to get Halliburton. Well yeah, but they tried to trade Sabonis who they drafted, you know, who turned into an All-Star. So, yeah, I mean, they're a throwback. We hadn't had anything like that in a long time, and it's cool. It's a reminder that it at least gives hope to mid-market teams.

And Oklahoma City's a different deal because they're a lab-grown juggernaut. I was thinking, is this great? Just because I don't like... I don't care if it's great. I just think it's cool to me. I think there are some people that are like, bothered that it's not the Lakers and Knicks, or Heat, or what, it's cool to me. I think there are some people that are bothered that it's not

the Lakers and Knicks or Heat or what. It doesn't affect me at all. It's got to be cool for like basketball fans of many different organizations now could head into a season saying this could be our year. Exactly. Because the Pacers started like five and ten or something or five and 15, something crazy last year. Like they had a really bad start too. And not that anybody was picking them to go this far before that. No, I'm excited about it, that'll be cool.

But, I don't like, like the NHL were just, or even Major League Baseball, that any team can kind of get hot and then all of a sudden They win it all but they're nowhere near the best team in the league if that became the norm That won't become another that is bothersome to me that won't become the norm because in basketball the only way to be dominant is to have a truly effing guy and Everybody who wins is always gonna have one of those

There's a reason the Raptors were a good team, but didn't win until they had Kawhi do you consider yeah Halliburton to be a guy yeah dude he's done enough this year where it's like okay he's like a he's in the mix now they're unique because he's not like a flashy guy he may be so the other thing I saw was is he the worst superstar on a championship team ever? I don't know who it would have been before, it might have been Dirk. Well, what did the Pistons have, like in 04 or whenever they won?

Rip Hamilton. Billups, Rashid. I consider Dirk to be. And I would put Halliburton above both those guys, so he's close though. I would consider Dirk to be way better than Halliburton, no. Dirk at his peak, but 11 wasn't his peak though. Oh, sick like oh five, oh six, oh seven Dirk.

But he was, yeah, he was an established superstar who then turned it up. Yeah. I guess Tatum last year. I mean, he's. I do worry about. He's top five. Like Oklahoma, that is a good home court advantage.

Hell yeah. A really good one. Like it's weird. I think it's the Indians, too. It's like. Now that it's going back there, yeah, very. I think everybody needs to go to a game there and just be like whoa This is the United States. It's like doesn't it seem like the North Korea game

Yeah, it's weird. We watched that documentary about Dennis Rodman going to Play basketball in North Korea or watch basketball Watch yeah, watch but it was very like the whole arena is silent Watch. Yeah, watch. Yeah, but it was very like the whole arena is silent Every single person is in their seat and that's what it's like at the beginning of an Oklahoma City game When they have a prayer they do like they have a Everybody sits in silence for a prayer. Can you imagine trying to do that in Dallas? We should try it right now Like here. Oh, I don't want to miss that Let's go to Cowboys like You couldn't even do it at your Thanksgiving table when you were in high school.

No. As I recall, that was a source of some... Yeah, that was more... she asked us to go around and ask what we were thankful for, and my answer was the Cowboys smooth transition to the 3-4 under Parcells. And she did not like that. How is Greg Ellis going to do? Exactly. And it worked out great.

On one hand, she raises you to always tell the truth and all that kind of stuff. And then on the other hand, she's yelling at you for that at Thanksgiving. Women. It's hard to figure her out. Yeah, them out. Brett Albach was like his late 40s.

See, that was his last. That's what I was going to say. You're thrown off by the fact that 39-year-olds used to look like they were in hospice. His last title was 40s? Yeah, last title was 66. He looked like the penguin. He was born in 1917.

Yeah, 50s. Late 40s, really, when he made his run. Pop was 65, Carlisle will be 66 in October. Wow. Red Arbok. I mean, look at pictures of him. Oh, I know. Like, net cigar.

He looks 70. Yeah, he looks like an Acme villain. He looks like Joe Biden. Wow. Jeez. Guys just sitting there waiting to die. I didn't know Biden was untouchable. That was really mean.

That was more mean to Brett Arbuck. Yeah. Do you want me to go first? I don't know. What do you got? I got a I'm going to wrap up Cowboys OTAs here with a couple of things. This is my final DAC thing of the off season.

He used a bingo. This is just him heading into the off season. You think this will work, Blake? I don't know. You know what we gotta make sure to do? What? Not test it before the show. No, we tested it. It's just a matter of has it stayed working.

You're doing an old movie, a new sport. How much do you think about the legacy of leaving with this franchise? Because obviously this franchise is judged on championships. You get the question? What is your legacy with this franchise is judged on championships. You get the question? What is your legacy with this franchise? How much do you think about legacy in this franchise? Because the franchise is the Cowboys quarterback. And all the Cowboys quarterback does is win Super Bowls.

Yeah. Yeah, I want to win a championship. The legacy, the things, whatever comes after I finish playing will take care of itself. I want to win a championship. Be damned if it's just for my legacy or for this team, for my personal being, for my sanity. Yeah, the legacy will take care of itself.

I have to stay where my feet are. Be where my feet are. That's right. The theme of the 2025 Cowboys, Ted talk ass football team. I just imagine him up there with a dumb little headset on as he's saying that I like how he's Mindful but but he's such an as you've pointed out. He's like a really boring dude. He's the nerdiest quarterback in the NFL But he wants to show passion so he swears the most he can. Right. And says, I'll be damned.

I'll be damned. If I'm going to. I don't know what you have the Cowboys over under at right now, but if I woke up tomorrow to news that Dak had been arrested at a strip club, I would bump it up half. Well yeah, it's only up from here. Okay but I'm just saying

some teams you may be like I'm worried about him if I would love it if he if he had a kid who showed up tomorrow claiming paternity. Because Dak tore down his house because his current wife was mad. You guys don't know that. We have it on pretty good authority. You don't know that. Look at him. He tore down his house, allegedly, because his new wife knew that he had other ladies in the other house. No doubt. She made him tear it down and build a whole new one for her.

And had Dude Perfect there when they tore it down, and then wondered why he didn't have any privacy when he tore it down. Yeah, then got mad when reporters asked him about, what was it like when you had Dude Perfect, hey, that's a private matter for me and my 8 million views on YouTube? You guys are big jerks.

I feel like I've heard Kavante Turpin talk before in the sounds of the sideline. But for a guy who's a pro bowler and big deal, I don't know that I'd ever really heard him talk Extensively in interviews and so I play this for you because we find someone who doesn't call him shoddy I left that in there for Dan the reporter to butter up is like boy you guys had perfect attendance here I never had perfect attendance in any of my classes And he's like yeah, it's my job. Yeah, like, I just got perfect attendance this year. I know I didn't have perfect attendance in any class that I've had. So, what does that say about Shottie's culture that he's building that you guys, everyone showed up?

I just say everybody buy in. You know, everybody buy in, everybody live with Shaw Hammer doing, you know. He's got an awesome voice. I don't know if he's from Louisiana, but it's straight up. Yeah, I've never heard him talk. It's awesome. It's so melodic. It's very metal bat-sy. He's going, bro.

He talks like he plays. Yeah, yeah, yeah, say everybody buy an in. Everybody buy an in, everybody live with Schottenheimer doing. I just feel like we're going to roll with it. Everybody going to take the punches and deal with it. I feel like we're doing good with Schottenheimer doing. It's great. Everybody excited. Everybody want to be here.

He did say Schottenheimer the second time. But I haven't heard anyone say Schottenheimer. And he did. Dude, Jamison's got to get a song. Everybody buy an in. I haven't heard anyone say Schadenheimer and he did dude Jameson's got to get a song everybody buying it So is every audio clip gonna have ping-pong in the background 100% they all do that's they all have it Yes in the background. They all get asked about it Here's Marist Leofau on ping-pong. Yeah It's making me a better ping pong player for sure.

That's his report from camp. From OTAs thus far. Let's see here. This is Wanyay Thomas, okay? Playmaker in the secondary there. He's a younger cat. So you remember we played Michael Irvin talking about how he went to the facility and Shottie had Legends Day

where they welcomed him and some other guys in and they were not only there to watch practice but they had him in the film room. Irvin almost cried about it. Yeah. Yeah. Just being in the room with those guys. In the room with those guys.

Like, you know, and Darren Woodson was there. He gets it! I don't know Woodson was there. He gets it! I don't know who else was there. And I still don't know who else was there because Wanyay Thomas, who was very impacted by the legend he met, can't recall who it was. It was great, especially them coming into meetings. I really wasn't expecting them to actually really watch

the film with us and tell us what we needed to work on. So that was pretty cool for them to, you know what I'm saying, butt in and tell us what like we needed to work on so that was pretty cool for them to you know I'm saying butt in and tell us things that we need to work on. Who had advice for you? Uh the follow-up who had advice for you? Uh honestly I would have to say what's the old head coach we had I forgot his name but it was the older head. You know the Cowboys the team who's had dozens of head coaches. I forgot his name but it was the older head. You know the Cowboys, a team who's had dozens of head coaches. I forgot his name, but it was the older head head coach. I think it was the coach in the 80s, I think so. I forgot his name, though.

I know last year was hard. It was 100% Campo. I was going to say, what? I'm trying to go through my head. What coaches would come back? Campo's a DB coach. Campo, frankly, has time. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw him here today.

Right. I was thinking Garrett is number two on the list of who would have been there, but he would not have been memorable. No. Oh, he really said something. And he might have recognized him. But Campo is like, hey, man.

Yeah. I don't know. Some guy from the 80s yeah There's a head coach of the Dallas Cowboys and then here. We got a new Campo here now do we have This is that'll be shoddy in ten years right 20 years Definitely some rookie will be talking about that old head coach they brought in Definitely some rookie will be talking about that old head coach. They brought in Minus play ping-pong the guy who was here for three years. I don't know how to say 11 seasons and then we

Hired 80 year old Bill Belichick to come out of it stop it terrific Do you see him all sweaty at the airport Belichick? Yeah, no him and the girl were running to catch a flight He's like got back sweat real bad. I don't know. It's gross PJs I don't remember the second round pick so I don't know how to say his name as a Riké but I don't know how to say his last name but they're talking to him and he was one of the guys who was at the Stars game that I was at with Travis from community and this was making the rounds because Bang Guy was sitting behind these two massive NFL linemen and he was bitching about it. Bang guy from Starz Twitter because he was behind them and they're huge and one

guy was sitting on the chair when everyone else was sitting down and that got us a great ghost tour laugh. My guy Tommy, King Basote, that's my dog so we've been we've been hanging out we actually went to NHL game together that was a fun experience he was a little too big for the seat. That's why he was standing up a little bit. The people were upset about it, but he was a little too big for the seat. Yeah, we'll see you about next time for sure.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, that is your 2025 Cowboys OTAs as a Rike with the theme. Yeah, it's been good. We actually went to dinner last night sick sick that is on the The dinner last night. Are we doing more bingo cards? Cuz I got some shoddy. Yeah, let's do it

Because I try to be where my feet are. I believe shoddy is gonna have some bingo here for you. I Love what Fluss has brought from a man my feet are. I believe Shadi's gonna have some bingo here for you. I love what Fluse has brought from a mentality and a mindset. Are they doing Fluse in Chicago? They always have done Fluse. You just got it. This is the world now. Yes? Okay. I love what Fluse has brought from a mentality and a mindset. You know it's hard to see that right now because we're limited. But the intentionality and the aggressive nature and the way they run to the ball is- Boom!

Told you. Most teams don't run to the ball. No, and if they do, they're like, oh, I don't know my intention to. What am I doing? What do I do when I get here? I should have thought about this before. I don't have any plan once I get here.

It's the cat waiting for the door to open. George Pickens, Scottingouting report and we'll get a nickname here. I love shooting baskets against them. See this is so, hey what's your new wide receiver like? What's this going to bring to the offense? Good free throw shooter. I love shooting baskets against them. I love just watching his. I talk to him a lot about ball and his experiences at Pittsburgh and what he likes and what he doesn't like. And he's been amazing.

He was the last guy to leave the practice field today. I think that speaks volumes of the fact that he's excited about what we're building. And I'm a big GP fan. God, okay. All right, man. I always love that there's, again, we can frame these things any way we want to frame them,

but the guy that actually just hates his family also might be the last guy to leave the practice field. Not because he loves yeah being there Yeah, Blake stays at Dan's house so late. He really does. What's that about? so He is asked shoddy Brian Schottenheimer It's hard for me to pull the name Brian I start to say Marty every time and I'm like who is it like

I just think shoddy. I don't think of him as a he's like Donna to me at this point so he's asked about what he will do in the break before camp so I'll be busy you know making phone calls and checking in I might have a shoddy in hand and sitting on the beach somewhere I'm'm going to blow my head off. You can't keep doing this. You can't keep doing this. This is your guy, Jake. He loves drinking, bro.

Oh, yeah, man. You know what my name is? Yeah, Schottenheimer. You're going to have a little shoddy in my hand. You know, just checking in on the bros, having a little shoddy. Yeah. Ah!

Here, again, remember, this is mandatory mini camp. Mandatory. You have to be there. From the first meeting that we had in the locker room, you know, I think there was excitement. Is it about me? I don't know. I think it's about the energy. By the way, that's a bingo. Yes Ask a question. You'll around the building. It's real. It's tangible You know

We got a great group of guys man, and they work I mean to have perfect attendance in mandatory mini camp and whatever was 90 something percent attendance in the offseason program and That's that's something that we should be proud of. Why don't we just cut the shit and say Frisco PD didn't arrest anyone? What if we take a look at this crew right here? It's the only thing that matters. We had this remote on the books yeah and it was you know we've we've known and we're all gonna you know we're getting paid because we all work for this place, but Everybody's here. That's everybody on the whole show is here shot Clayton showed up Blake

I couldn't believe it when I saw Blake. I was like whoa way to be here, bro mandatory So oh I'm the bingo card Would be this. Legacy to me, you know, I think it starts with people. You know, to this day I go out on the field for a game and I will have two or three different individuals come up to me and say, excuse me coach, you have a second.

And I know exactly where they're going. And I, of course, drop what I'm doing, because I want to hear it. My dad. It's going to be my dad. But the funny thing is, too, like, OK, so I'm out on the field. I'm prepping for a game.

Right. This is my job. But if some guy I don't know just says, hey, coach, you got a second, I drop what I'm doing. I stop. I stop prepping for the game I am not worried about the game anymore because now this is gonna be the most important thing Well, what like we're walking into court and Phillips just like hey, what's up, bro?

I remember you from something 98 sig up out like no, it's not the time And I know exactly where they're going. And I of course drop what I'm doing because I want to hear it and they say Your your father he almost did it Your your father changed my life Let's see, oh This is another bingo. So bingo is he brings up his father every time, even unsolicited. Another bingo is he will tell somebody

they have a great question. So we're here to review whether or not it is a great question. Hey, Sean, Patrick Walton of thescoutboys.com. As a first year NFL head coach, you saw as the OC last year just how Tyler got in a struggle to stay healthy because of just what's required of guys coming out of college, going through the combine process,

and then going right into an NFL training camp. What's your message to your rookies and your first year as head coach to tell them, hey, you can do it now? Dude, we get it. Just rest with staying in shape and staying ready for training camp. Yeah, great question.

Holy shit, man. Skip, add. There's nothing worse. I like that guy's writing, but there's nothing worse than asking the question. I've done it. Asking the question, trying to be like, please think I'm smart.

Yeah. Please think I'm smart. Oh, great question. He's talking about the break again. They brought up the break now, because they're on break until training camp, basically. That's the next time these guys are all going to be together. But let's go back to the well for another bingo.

You know, there'll be some nights, I'm sure, where I'm laying in bed on vacation and thinking back to how this offseason has gone. Has it been perfect? No. Has it been really good? Yeah. Oh my god.

Dude. It's such an infuriating way to speak. It feels like a Seinfeld episode. Did we lose? Yes. Did we play hard? Hell yeah. Hell yeah, we did.

You will hear that. Also, I want to mark this clip we have to save this clip because He might be right and we'll say look at that. He was right Okay, or we're going to think this is a very funny clip at the end of the season But he's talking about I think his assistant coaches and the staff and then whatnot We're gonna win and when we win our coaching staff is gonna get rated and people are gonna come after our coaches. You are in way over your skis. That's what I'm saying. Oh no. I think it's weird enough. Oh buddy.

The amount that Dak talks Super Bowl I think is odd enough. odd enough for a guy that has not won a playoff game that gets you into the NFC Championship game. So that's odd enough when you just keep talking about something five steps ahead of what you've ever actually done. But now he's actually going to, that's how, we're going to be be so good like I'm now making plans for when they take like they do the Wanastat and and Norv Turner thing because we're so good they're just picking off guy like the shoddy coaching tree bro okay I want to be clear I think that they're going to be a solid team and I think he can be fine

But it doesn't seem to occur to him that like he was on other staffs for 20 years and nobody even thought to hire him And they won! Yeah, they won at Super Bowl. It never happened for him. Was he a Super Bowl winning OC? I don't know. No, Darryl Bevel was the OC. So they raided him. Yeah, exactly. And then all of a sudden this happened. Was he a Super Bowl winning OC? I don't know. Darrell Bevel was the OC. So they raided him. Yeah, exactly. And then all of a sudden this happened.

And everyone was like, no, we're good on him. He can stay there. And then right now, do you know their offensive coordinator's name? Gosh, I've been memorizing it. I think I know more Major League Baseball manager names than I do offensive coaches for the Cowboys. Well, his name's Clayton Adams. That's right, Clayton.

He was the line coach in Arizona last year and Yeah, I look forward to him being rated As the next, you know Kyle Shanahan Back to the bingo card as we talked Javante Williams.? Yeah I'll start with Javante. Can't say enough great things about him. The way he practices, the way he approaches practice though you guys know. How do you think he approaches practice? Any guess? Intentionally. You guys know I love the word the intentionality. I think that's for a younger player. Okay hold on OK. Hold on. So we know that Sod asked him the question the other day,

right, after we did. We're fucking blackpick, or whatever. We're affecting this now. This is now our lane. Because he knows, oh, I know you guys love that. It was just Sod. And Sod only brought it up because we've been honing in on it.

This is great. Sod, by the way, I love his podcast. Because it is an interesting topic to ask him about. Yeah. Next, it's gotta be asking himself questions. How does Saad do that? I don't know. Yeah.

I don't know if it's a vow, but I heard him on the one star cowboy podcast say that he will not call him shoddy. He will not? No. He's a professional journalist. He refers to him as Brian or coach. Yeah.

Oh. Here's a question. Is this, we've played this with shoddy before, is this a funny story? No. Don't make us do this. No, it's not. Skip.

Wait a second here. Skip to the next thing. Sorry. It was funny as I was talking I was calling a play yesterday to Dak. It doesn't sound funny at all. Do you feel like this could be a funny story? It's between Brian Schottenheimer and Dak Prescott. It was funny as I was talking I was calling a play yesterday to Dak and I was talking I was calling a play yesterday to Dak and I was telling him to remind him. Which was new to me. It was Javante or Miles I think it was Javante maybe and I said hey remind Javante and he kind of looked at me he said he's a valedictorian and Javante looked back and smiled it was Javante but

like there's something to these veteran players you know that that's the story so that's terrible that's worse than Garrett. Remind him of something, and then Dak said he's a valedictorian? Oh, no. Well, let's talk about the most important thing in camp, or in mini camp, whatever we call this. The most important thing really surrounding the Cowboys

right now I Want to play Micah I beat Dak all the time when I play him so Mike is next I'll put that out there for Micah see if he wants to accept the challenge over the break, but yeah, I thought Jay had him What we were talking about there, of course is the ping-pong table awesome Very cool. Cannot wait for the Monday Night Football graphic. The cartoon graphic on Monday Night Football. Oh my god. When they're down 35. It'd be like robots playing. Yeah. This is Dax swings and misses. The ball goes off to the side. Whoo! It's gonna happen.

You're setting yourself up. Do they have them all as like? Paintball, Dak in the cowboy paintball mask, it's shot in the head. They're shooting free throws, none of them are good. Whoo! It's gonna be great. Did we get a little ghost tour laugh in there?

I wanna play Micah. I beat Dak all the time when I play him so Micah's now Can't help themselves Beat Dak that's funny Okay, I don't think you think Tom Brady was good at ping-pong I don't know Peyton Manning They were good at football. Oh Finally, this is my last cut is This what you're about to hear They were good at football. Oh finally, this is my last cut

Is this what you're about to hear Better than the nba cup, isn't that the thing they the Middle of the season tournament like the lakers first ever nba cup winner And i'm going to change the subject real quick. Make sure you guys keep this note Uh, the 2025 offseason program sharp shooting champion is none other than Sam Williams. You guys have no idea what that means. But he is the 2025 offseason program sharp shooting champion.

And he beat Tyler Guyton. So awesome, man. Yeah, that's fantastic. The media couldn't even feign interest there Like no, nobody can figure out what that we're not trying we're not it's fine. God That's rough What you want to do next? Well, we have John Machota coming up. Should we hit the break right now? And yeah, why don't we do a quick?

Should we hit the break right now and prep for John Machota? Yeah, why don't we do a quick break. We'll take a quick break, re-up the drinks. Here at the Constellation Club, we are in Las Calinas. If in fact you are YouTubing with us today, you can stop by today for $2 wings, $2 tamales, and we're only guessing that the price of those items is generally higher than that. 202. Yeah. 350.

But you're going to get an awesome savings here today. The Dumb Zone. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. It's out here at the Constellation Club. Ran into the guy from Game Day Men's Health. You know how generally we have a Game Day Men's Health studio to broadcast from? I do. Did you see him? I did.

Maybe a little IV drip But yeah, so check out Game Day Men's Health.

Don't forget, when you mention the dumb zone, 10% off your TRT therapy for life. Incredible, Dan. Could it get better than this? They bring you John Machota? How do we feel about popping him up? Yes, they bring us John Machota from the athletic. How do you sound like everything is not gonna work?

No, no, no, no. From the one star Cowboys podcast. Hello, John Machota. Hello, gentlemen. What are you doing in this? This is a nice month for you, right? This is like your one month perhaps to do nothing.

It is. I just got back to Texas. I've been in Michigan. Busy with some family and friends. So I'll probably go back there next month and then I'll go to California. So maybe that's not exciting to a lot of people, but I have a lot of family and friends up that way. So it's pretty good to get away. You know, we talked to Brandon Aubrey a lot, and he's told us about, you're probably aware of this, like the specialists would have camps in the summer where they'd get their families together,

they'd train together. You're aware of that sort of thing, like kicker punter meetups? Not really, no. Okay, yeah, I'd heard of it before, but they go to Hawaii or something and train. I was just hoping that there was a place where all the NFL reporters met and you all had masks and robes on and Rick Goslin is just in charge of the ceremony.

No, I mean- And just everyone at the NFL sees each other all off season. You probably get as far away as possible. So the longer I've been in the business, the more I'd like to get away. But there are definitely people in this business that this is every waking moment and they love the camaraderie

and when there's at the owners meetings, they love just bumping shoulders with all these other reports. I used to think that was really cool. I don't care about that anymore. So no, this is more of a getaway time because it is really the only probably month that we get to get away, I used to think that was really cool. I don't care about that anymore. So no, this is more of a getaway time because it is really the only probably month

that we get to get away, which is always funny to me because every place I've ever worked, December comes around and they'll be like, you didn't use all your vacation days. What do you think I'm gonna do? You think I'm about to take these right now? Hey, sorry about week 14, 15, 16. I'm not gonna be able to catch those games.

I got these vacation days to use. So this is just, I try and use as much as I can right now. Well, you've been around the team and you've been around their new head coach. How do you feel about things just as an analyst, I suppose? Yeah, I mean, I'm pretty cynical, so I usually am pretty, especially with this team kind of glass half empty, but I will say I don't know how anybody could have done a better job than he's done. You know, of course, none of that will matter if you're not winning in the fall, you know, I mean, all this stuff's great.

And then you go on a three, four game losing streak and then No one's really going to care anymore and so I will say though in terms of how he's handled the team how he's handled this micah parsons contract situation Uh, you know, I don't think he could have done any better job than he has he's had great attendance it looks like they've gotten a lot of quality work done and I'm just surprised he hasn't changed really at all He's kept the same personality that he had when he was a coordinator, which is he's a very friendly guy. If you guys get a

chance to talk to him, I think you guys will really enjoy a lot. He's a really he's a he's a good dude, but none of that will matter if they don't win. Also, but up till now, and certainly, certainly not many distractions, which I'm the type of person that I want I thought they should have went after Bill Belichick and I just think quite often how many more distractions that would have been if that would have been the move So I think they did a good good job not going down that path. Damn that's right, cuz obviously I'm big on Belichick too, but Yeah Big on Belichick too, but yeah.

Imagine how great you'd know her and Charlotte would have gotten into it. Oh my gosh. The Jordan Hudson V. No, that's very odd. Selfishly, I just don't want to cover that. We have reporters that are covering that, obviously our college reporters. I don't want to cover that whole situation with her and him But I'd have to do it, you know, just like I don't want to cover the courts And when is he he'll always on the team you have to do that

You know, so you become a court reporter. Yeah, which I hate and so I'm not joking when I left the Dallas morning news to go to the athletic my biggest the thing that made me the most nervous was that was right around the time Zeke had been doing that stuff and I was nervous about going someplace where there wasn't going to be court reporters that I could bounce stuff off of. I kind of would be on my own. And so I had talked to some people about that and they kind of reassured me and so that was a good thing. But yeah, that's one of those types of things that you just never know that you might have to deal with.

See, when we say Belichick too, or at least Belichick was the most Belichick-like head coach that was available. So that's why I wanted him. But I feel like that's what is needed with the Dallas Cowboys. Somebody who can at least create the illusion that I'm really in charge here and I'm helping you block out because there's so many distractions that just come with being on this team. They invite it. Jerry wants it. But I think you really need a head coach that can help you eliminate those distractions and I think Schottenheimer, to me, just feels very Dave Campo-ish. That he's brought in because Jerry can continue to operate with the crazy circus that he wants to around here, and there is going to be no pushback at all from the head coach. Yeah, like imagine that scenario

where Shotty's pushing back. Like you can't. Right. It was hard to imagine with Mike. And then they moved on to Bill Parcells, who, and you know, Jerry didn't like that. He didn't like pushback to his ideas. And I think perhaps, you know,

McCarthy was feeling himself a little bit and might have been, you know, he played the game like you have to but also I feel like he, I don't know, he kind of worked himself out of here by actually wanting market value for his resume as a head coach and for, you know, wanting to be a head coach. That's my opinion, John. What say you to that? Yeah, I don't think you're wrong.

I would say that Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells are the ones that he clashed with the most and he didn't like that. So, that's why for the rest of Jerry Jones' life, I don't think we'll ever see him hire another coach like that. And so, Brian Schott and I will be great in the sense of the stuff that Jerry says after games or on the radio during the week, he'll handle that great. I know Mike McCarthy didn't love that we all went to Jerry after games instead of going to his press conference.

I don't know that he said it very many times publicly, but I know he didn't really love that. Where I don't think that Brian Schottenheimer will be bothered by that. I'll just give you an example. I mean, after one of these practices, these mini camp practices, me and another reporter waited out Jerry while the other reporters went inside and we were waiting him out because he was talking to Schottenheimer outside on the field. And he knew, Schottenheimer knew exactly what we were doing and he was just joking with us.

He's like, you guys better hurry up. He's getting away. He's getting away. Like that's not something like McCarthy probably would have said. I know there's some other coaches that would have been bothered by that, but we're waiting out Jerry because we want to hear what his latest is going to be on what's going on with Micah Parsons. You know, that's our job. Brian seems to really get that. So, but to your point though, maybe that's not a good thing in terms of winning on Sunday and winning more importantly in January. So I don't

think that we'll know until we actually see him coach because I do think there's going to be a lot more on his plate during the season when he's calling plays and having to deal with who knows what kind of headaches come out during the season. On top of that, he's going to have a lot to deal with. Now he does seem like he's pretty good at managing his time and balancing all that stuff, but I don't know how long somebody can do that.

It just seems like it could get kind of exhausting. So maybe he'll just have to kind of learn on the job. And there's a lot of new faces on the staff. Is there anybody that we could meet at camp that you'd say was interesting? Like any of these guys pop to you? Are any of them like surprisingly British? And you just hear them talk with Aiden Dirty?

And it was like, OK. Anybody? Is there a bone starter kit, anything? So we only got to talk to him once, all the assistants, and that was after they were all hired. And I would say, I mean, I don't know that his answers will be the greatest, but Ken Dorsey being a guy that he was an OC,

he obviously was a really good college football player he's probably got the most interesting story I guess but Clayton Adams the new OC it seems like he's he's probably he's pretty decent but it's like a lot of young guys that I just got the sense when we talked to him it was a lot of really I don't want to say the wrong thing you know like they're one that they're like want to make sure that they don't say anything that's gonna mess anything up where it's like you come away after you cover guys like Mike Zimmer Mike Zimmer is not really gonna care he's gonna kind of

see whatever he wants you know they don't really have a guy like that the defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton who came from the Jets that's a guy that a lot of people are feel like he could make a big impact on that defense. He might be an interesting guy, but he's just such a young staff and there's a lot of guys from the college ranks. That's why I was, out of all the stuff that Schottenheimer said last week during minicamp, the thing that stood out to me most is when he was talking about, he's like, our staff's going to get raided because because we're gonna win games,

and other teams are gonna raid our staff. And when he said that, I was just kinda like, when's the last time the Cowboys staff was raided? You know, and so, he used to probably not think about this in the moment, but all I'm thinking is like, this is totally something that we're gonna come back to in a year or two, if this is a disaster. We were thinking that very same thing,

just 10 minutes ago. Ken Dorsey, seventh floor crew? I'm not sure if he crossed over into that. Okay. I'm not sure. Okay. Hey. Speaking of the staff.

Why did they? He wasn't on the song. Okay. That's all I know. I think that might have been a little bit after. Well, it actually might have been before him. Why did they let Bones go? Very highly respected special teams coach Yeah, it's a good question I I don't know they didn't keep many coaches

Lunda Wells the tight end is coach is obviously still there, but I don't know if it's just a cleaning of a house type thing where Shot never wanted all of his own new coordinators. Demanded it. But I'm not sure. Pound the table, put his foot down, said, Jerry, I will not take this job unless. Yeah, no, I don't know. See, that's the thing. From our standpoint, we love Jon Fossil,

because he'll do wild stuff on Sunday, and he's just a really fun interview and things like that. And I could see how that's not for every coach you know probably don't need to give him as much control as he might have had with doing some fake punts in some certain situations and things like that so maybe that's a little too much but I it's fun you bring that up because I do think he'd be a great fit he's very high energy which is fits exactly the way these practices have been under Schottenheimer.

So I don't know this to be the case, but I just have to throw this out there. They also could be that Bones was going to leave because McCarthy wasn't coming back. A lot of these guys that have been around for a while, they will stay loyal to whoever their guy is that brought them in. And so maybe that was a factor. But I have not talked to him, and I don't know anybody else that's talked to him since he's left. Is it too early to do this?

Do you guys want to say what week will Clayton Adams start to call plays? And we say, you know what? I think Shadi should come. He's never done it either. You can't go to Higgie. Coach. Because that's the progression in these things, right? As you mentioned, John, that things are going to happen.

King Dorsey called plays. Maybe it'll be him. That's what it would be. There you go. Yeah. But there's going to be an injury. There's going to be something that happened. There's going to be something wild.

There'll be an arrest. There'll be. Yeah, it's Shottie's first time being the head coach. Whatever. Maybe you should just focus on that and not call plays. All of a sudden, a three-game losing streak. We didn't expect this. Let's shake things up a little bit. You don't fire them right away.

No. Well, I don't think you can fire them at all. And the reason why I'm saying that is because under McCarthy, at least the defensive coordinators had with Zimmer. Yeah, and I'm not saying that, obviously, Matt Eberfluss has previous head coaching experience But I don't think that if things are going poorly that they're gonna hand the reins over to Matt Eberfluss after how things went Just a year ago in Chicago

So I think I think things could get very ugly this season and and and it wouldn't even be serious to talk about any head coaching change like I think Schottenheimer will get this entire season to be as good or as bad and probably will even get another one after this because this is we're now getting back into the Jason Garrett territory of Jerry Jones wants this to work so bad because so many people questioned it when he made the move. So I don't I think things could go real bad before Jerry would would admit that all you know what maybe this was a bad move maybe they will go another direction but but then again you know Jim Ersay just passed and you know he

he did the whole Jeff Saturday out of out of the booth to the sidelines I mean I guess with Jerry you can't 100% rule out Jason Whitten but I just don't see that happen in midseason either. So let's see Colorado's last game is November 29th the Cowboys will let you hold on The Cowboys will have just lost to the Chiefs on Thanksgiving in a big way. They fire Schottenheimer, give Dion the rest of the year is kind of a, here get your feet wet, and then we're full bore with Dion next year.

There we go. You heard John say he doesn't want to cover this circus. Well, buckle up John. No, I mean I will, I don't want to, but that's fine with me. I also don't want to cover losing seasons. And I don't want to cover seasons where there's January disappointments over and over again.

But here we are 15 years later, and it's not anything's changed there. So I mean, I'm fine with it. But I don't know. I kind of feel like there's a better chance he would go to Cleveland just because I think he would want to coach Shador. I think that's a big thing for Dion,

but obviously like people have talked about before, how could he turn down the Cowboys? I just don't get the sense that Jerry really wanted wanted to do Dion, just like, I don't think he really wanted to do Bill Belichick. And when you see who he ended up with, I think it's pretty safe to say he really didn't want a big name, big personality.

All right, John, well, we appreciate you making time on a Friday. Enjoy the vacay. I Will boys things wrap me on adios there goes the athletics John Machota Yay What you wanna what you want to get into I don't know I thought you had some today in Twitter you want to do that Yeah, sure the Dumb Zone presents today in Twitter. So I have a couple a couple for here one quick one I think the wife must have seen this on the gram I don't know but your wife almost certainly saw it because it was featured on the Today Show but it was an interview with a mom

who had reintroduced the concept of the landline for her daughter. And several of their people in their friend group had as well. Now, it's not a real landline because it's internet-based. That sounds like a perfect Today Show story. But here's the thing, though. I actually think calling and talking to the pizza place or calling and asking what if Walmart has this part or whatever for your family is a big part of learning how to be just a person.

How's something just talking on the phone is a communication skill that you, you know, it's practice for life. Talking verbally, I mean, teens text. That's all they do. But that's what I'm saying is that I feel like texting doesn't apply as much to real world conversation. But teens, you don't either.

You don't want to call anyone. I'm coming around. Oh no. Run the ball guys. Cause I'm a guy that does, no. Run the ball, guys. Because I'm a guy that does like to talk. Yeah. And people will know that, and they will call me old for it. But it's like, I don't want to just sit here texting back.

There's something lost. Let's just talk. We could talk once, and it's just done. I don't like talking, but I like affirmation. Before I drive there, do you have this? Will you do this? And so I like that before I go I don't but but I will say my daughter daughter too for sure like she would want

We'd you know, like I said, we'll eat at different places Yeah, and I'll stop at a different restaurant you call to order. No, okay I'll just order what you put from your restaurant like she would to order. No, okay, I'll just order what you from your restaurant. Like she would eat what she doesn't want to eat for dinner. The fear. To get away from having to talk to somebody on the phone. That's insane. And then once restaurant apps started to become prevalent, she was very happy. Yeah. We didn't have to worry about that. And maybe that's the thing is that it's not a necessary skill any longer. Like it's hypocritical for me to say like grammar doesn't matter, but then you need to me to say, like, grammar doesn't matter,

but then you need to be able to speak. Maybe it doesn't matter. But it was an interesting idea to me, and it just, it kind of got me thinking of, a big part of parenting is figuring out ways you can have them had what you had, or experience it or learn it, even though their life is like totally different.

Does that generation avoid the sit-down down restaurant just to avoid the waiter? I don't know, Henry's here. Somewhere. He's not paying attention. No. Exactly. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Speaking of Henry, he did cut up some audio for me.

So last weekend it was a hot one society wise, politically. I'm sure this weekend will be very relaxed but if you recall last weekend we had a bunch of protests oh yeah yeah against raids and the like Paula Poundstone was on the scene boots on the ground and talons for resistance but so what these news stations do now they go live on TV but they also like Fox does has Fox, they've got their YouTube channel, they've got their website, and the LA station, Fox 11, during the protests and the responses to those protests,

they sent a reporter up in a helicopter. And he's not on TV, he's just on YouTube. And he doesn't have a desk to work with So I guess what I'm saying is he quickly he doesn't sound like he's on television. He's not throwing He's just talking mm-hmm, and this thing has been seen like 10 million times now. It's two hours long He's just up there shooting the shit Above Los Angeles this was on my Twitter, so I thought I would play this for you. Come on. Life and Pre-... Dude, you know what? You can- Oh, hold on. It's this one right here.

Twin options. Now what he's doing is reading comments. You know, that's one of those ones. Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh uhhhhh. You know what? I don't care. I don't care about my- The answer is yes. You know what? I don't care. I don't care about my... He's about to explain it.

I am married. I am legally married. I am legally married. That's about the only way you can really say it. I am legally married. Okay, so again, this guy is covering the protests. Wait. And the police cracked down on immigrants. So is he trying to say here that he's available? Yes, someone in the comments.

I couldn't make it out because that's the only thing he's doing. But what was the twin out like? I don't know. Do you want twins, bro? I looked at it. I couldn't figure it out. Because he's not even reading the questions.

He's just up there and below you'll see a smattering of protesters and like a Mexican flag. And then this guy's like, I'm kind of available. I am not looking at now at all. I just had a bunch of debacles with my personal life. Yes, it's true. I know it's hard to believe. Somebody that doesn't even know what he's talking about

in that relationship. And you know, but yeah, I got nothing right now. Got nothing, got nothing, not really looking. Again, he's out there to cover the protests. I'll let him wrap up here. You know, trying to, trying to find myself and be happy. I'm being serious about that. Okay. all right. I want to be hold. I want to be beholden to no one at this moment You know do I get lonely of course? Yeah

Anyways Only I do I do do I need something right this second. I don't it feels like with this and the news story we had yesterday something right this second I don't. It feels like with this and the news story we had yesterday helicopter reporters really kind of coloring outside the lines a little bit. Was Justin Frazell yesterday? Oh yeah. Does it attract a weird media type? I've always wanted to be a helicopter guy though dude. Did you want to be? I know you wanted to be a pilot. And I'm not weird at all. Oh, I was going to say. Normal guy, everybody knows.

All right. I saw this on Twitter. So I got a couple things. OK. This is Kelsey Plum. Who's that? She's a WNBA superstar. The W.

I think she's one of the OGs, kind of. Yeah, she was married to Darren Waller. Oh, no. Really? Yeah. Wow. Yeah, she's awesome, right? Or was awesome?

I don't know. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Anyway, so this must be a new thing. That, because I've seen other teams have problems with autograph seekers in front of their hotel. Yeah, we played this audio. Not this Kelsey Plum one. No, but when that first started happening,

they were really weirded out by it. Right, and they were upset and like getting in their face and all this. The bus was right here. There's only two hotels here. Don't y'all find that kind of weird? Low key, like low key, come on. in their face and all this the bus is right here Oh a little bit I'm I'm just a fan He's not one you put my name on it

I get you on that one so she will be gracious enough to sign one low key isn't this weird yeah Low key it's probably weird that anybody is, you know, even at the game. Yeah, low-key it's weird they play you to pay basketball, that we're getting money to talk about it. Right, low-key, yeah, what is this for? You have a ball that you put in a thing and then. Money go up. So somehow.

Yeah. But this is this part I think of the Caitlin Clark bringing attention to this WNBA. And they're all now, like, they want, I don't know, is this dreaming of being a Kardashian and then getting famous and then complaining about paparazzi? And it's touchy, though, because, like, let's be honest, like, it's women. Their safety's a little bit different.

But she's not, she's with the team. I know. She's with, she has her team back, she's on to the team bus and like these guys, cause we've been, we will pull, and this is for hockey, we'll pull into a hotel in an opposing city at like 1.30 in the morning. And there's 15 dudes out there waiting,

looking to get autographs. And so I dutifully do, I sign everything, you know, cause they, you know. Anyway, that's- It's tricky, it's tricky. There's also weird language by her saying, I'm really turned off right now. I'm really turned off.

Like he was there to turn her on. Yeah, also tough work for that guy. She did say, I'll sign one, though. I'll sign one of your things. And he's like, when she said, don't you think this is creepy, and he sheepishly said, yeah. Tough look, bud. Poor guy.

Yeah. You know who likes to congratulate themselves? Where could this possibly go? Sports mayor. Oh. OK. Tweeted a couple days ago today in March six years since I was first inaugurated 60th mayor of Dallas on this day I pledged to build a Dallas that was safer more prosperous and full of opportunity for all I couldn't be more proud to say we've accomplished just that. Oh good. Today Dallas is stronger than ever before.

Thank you for serving this and blah blah blah blah blah. We continue to make Dallas even greater. And joining us now is former city councilman Philip Kingston. The bat signal goes up. Why are they clapping so much for him? That is too kind. I agree. How do you measure stronger than ever before? Well, you just don't understand strength. We we survived seven seven. That's true. Was that under his watch? No, no. OK.

So you're saying that was that might have been a strong watermark for strength in Dallas. We survived. Well, the shame of killing a U.S. president. We also I think we are surviving, although it's shaky. strength in Dallas. We survived the shame of killing a US president. We also, I think we are surviving, although it's shaky, losing Luke. Losing, yeah. I mean, the city's- Have you ever said we throw this guy out of here? We lost Luke under this guy's watch.

Tired of hearing about it. Honestly, Dan, that might be the thing that is the biggest threat in Dallas's history. The city could in fact disappear into a sinkhole of despair. See? Oh, okay. We haven't gotten applause all day. And we got that. You're not a big Eric Johnson fan, which is weird. I support my chief.

He and I were pretty close and then he switched teams. Oh really? Yeah. Yeah, I mean, he said dinner at my house. Oh really? Yeah, yeah. I know his kids. Damn. I saw his kids on Father's Day. He put out a tweet about how great of a father he was.

Congratulating himself. So did, do you know who else did that? Greg Abbott. Congratulating himself on being a father. And I was just like, let's hear from the girl maybe? It's the most rewarding thing. So they say. I don't know if that's true or not. And one more thing I had from today in Twitter,

which was an NBA story, which indicated, oh actually two things. One, somebody alerted us that Prague has a 9-11 memorial. Okay. We've been wanting to follow all the 9-11 memorials. Okay, about 100 are about some radio company and podcasts but no these are what is this other one? Damn it, damn it, where is it? Shador? Oh here it is. Oh no. The Warriors put out a press release about a new

coach they have hired. Yeah what's his name? Well they wanted to make sure that you knew his first name is Nicholas, the full name Nicholas and we're gonna say Nicholas when we tell you his name is Nicholas Kerr. Oh any relation? First of all I think he just worked his way up, and he is the most qualified. Second of all, I do believe throughout his life, like his friends and everybody have called him Nick. Don't.

But they probably have. Nobody goes by Nicholas. Right. They called him Nick. He's been called Nick Kerr. His whole life. Yeah. But now they are saying Nicholas Kerr That's such a tough draw man joining the NBA's What a jerk the Warriors coaching staff Steve

And that was today in Twitter and that's a little hot level too. My bad And that was today in Twitter. Oh, and that's a little hot level, too. My bad. No, actually, I did it over here. I'm taking the blame on that one, idiot. Team player. Do you want to do like some, oh, let me do a impromptu viewer mail.

OK. Just see, I got a couple. I got a couple, too. It's time to answer some of today's viewer mail. Wow. I'll go first. This is a Newt Ging's viewer mail. Wow. I'll go first. This is a Newt Gingrich follow-up. OK.

Why did we mention Newt Gingrich? It was probably his birthday or something. Oh, OK. It was either that or extensive coverage of the 1988 budget bill as it was debated on the floor. No. Or were we watching an old Redskins game? Yeah, it's a place to see him.

There he is in the crowd. So I told you yesterday that what I'd remembered about him, Kemp Spenwise, was that he informed his wife that he would be leaving her as she was dying of cancer. Amy weighs in the full story. Not only did he reportedly discuss divorce terms with his first wife while she was being hospitalized for uterine cancer,

his first wife was his former high school geometry teacher. He 19, she 26. His second wife was the woman he cheated on his first wife with whom he diagnosed, divorced after she was diagnosed with MS. Wait, first wife was his high school teacher. She gets MS. Which is awesome. If you're 19 and your teacher's only 26,

and then you marry her. And then the second she has any ailment, you're like, die, old broad. You're moving on. He cheats on her and moves on. That's also awesome, yes. Number two awesome for Newt Gingrich. Now, his number two wife, don't know if she taught math or not

But they're together for a while and then when he starts He has another woman he's interested in she gets cancer. It's cancer and he tells her like hey you there's no way You didn't see this coming In the hospital we've done this before yeah, and during this whole time He was of course like railing on slick Willie for the Monica thing But he is still married to that third wife so true love that's beautiful from Amy. It's my viewer mail You have oh we have joining us now is Philip Kingston don't clap I swear to God if people They turn that down real

quick. There's a story that his staff would frequently comment that they had to have an entire filing cabinet for Newt Gingrich's ideas but only a Manila folder for his good ideas. Okay, should we have had a rim shot? I'm going to clap for that. Me and that guy. This one is subject line Blake. Hey Dan, as a subscriber, I pay Blake's salary. I think I'm justified in questioning his use of my subby dollars to jet off to Colorado to see a concert, especially one as lame as Lindsey Stirling.

He has a new baby on the way for Christ's sake. What does that have to do with it? Yeah, dude, think of the kid, too. This guy's right. He pays your salary. He could make his salary go a lot further if he took a more bean and cheese burrito approach to his concert budget. Oh damn son. Yeah but unlike Angelo I can actually save up a little bit. Burned him. How's the Angelo

situation? We haven't had an update in the two days or so. No we'll get to it. Not good. We'll get to it Monday. You think there's going to be more? I'm just worried there'll be more this weekend. And then Blake has himself a homeless guy. OK, just imagine for one second, I wish this guy the best. I hope he's having a great life. I hope if he's dealing with any mental struggles that he gets help, the state should provide that.

Just imagine, everyone in this room, imagine if something tragic happened to this guy. If Angelo got hit by a dart train. Do you understand how confusing the news stories are going to be when they figure out that he is in any way connected to this? Like that he was being discussed and followed by thousands of people in his purchasing habits? Is it linked to our website? I would hope. Yeah, if he does something bad and we're blamed for it.

Because like the fact is he's hit a higher risk to end up something rough happening. I would think. You're a good dude, Blake. You're a great dude. I have a, um. No, I'm not, because I just hate the situation. You're good. You're helping someone out. You had good intentions when you started. Super good intentions.

As often happens in the world, things just take a different turn. His $25 were on time this week. Texted me during the middle of the week asking if he could buy some more food for his friend. And so like a sucker I am, here's 25 more. I've had some people come here, I've had some people add to the fund, I thought here you go, I'm gonna try to be nice. Blows through the 25 immediately and then text me during the show today, hey I'm at McDonald's. You have two dollar tamales,

his dollars will go far here at the Constellation Club. He doesn't need tamales. He wants chicken nuggets. They've got wings. So now it's turning into $25 a day. I eat on $11. I know, because we can't think like that. Oh, that's right.

We're not allowed to think like that. This is per diem. But I hit. It's like a play-by-play guy. He just shows up. He shows up at Blake's house, and it's in an envelope every day. But everything just goes.

Everything in my life goes back to Angelo's somehow. It just says, hey, dog. Tuesday, I hit Roses for some taco Tuesday. Got two dinner plates, ate for $17. I thought, you know what? Angelo spends more for one meal than I feed my family. Everything goes back to him. Yeah. That's tough.

He's infiltrated my brain. So let's just conclude it by saying you're a good person, you did a good thing, and that's that. You're an idiot. Yeah, no, for sure. You may also be that. You're also a great softball player. People have raved about the softball review yesterday and I wanted to ask you guys

should I so Chris who did the extensive scouting of Blake if you didn't catch this it's on yesterday's show it's fantastic he went to every one of Blake's softball games this year. 17 straight weeks. Drove an hour to get there. Drove an hour to get there, recorded you secretly, recorded every at bat, and then wrote a big detailed report on each game. And you would play two games per weekend. And anyway, it's just such good work. I wanted to copy and paste all of it into like a sub stack newsletter and put it out

there for everybody to be able to follow if they want. If you would. Yeah. If you think that's a good use of our sub stack newsletter. I don't think about it one way or the other at all. Oh, okay. Don Draper in the elevator. All I know is this.

The reporter in question wanted to edit his emails before you post them. Oh, there are a couple things in there he might not want to. Pretty critical of some of Blake's teammates. And he was worried about that. I edited that out when I read, but you're right. There are some things in there maybe he doesn't want out there. Yeah. And it's not the teammates fault

it's that there it's like if I'm standing next to a real hot guy you know like it's not their fault Blake's just that good that's the thing one more email regarding the subject line animated hots okay let's go and I believe we were talking the other day about cartoon animals that were hot. Right? Yeah. Yeah Jessica Rabbit from the first Space Jam. Lola Bunny. Lola Bunny. Excuse me not Jessica Rabbit. Yeah Lola Bunny. Jessica Rabbit was from something right? Roger Rabbit. Okay. Yeah, it makes sense Hey, don't Don't take the attention away from Roger either. I Think he he was packing so

Mind fear today you're all we're talking about animated animal hots and Ursula from the Little Mermaid was brought up Animal Hots and Ursula from the Little Mermaid was brought up. So Ursula from the Little Mermaid. There's something for everybody. Hold on. He says I submit to you that she should be your first fictional character admitted to the Roseanne. Yes that's a hundred percent true. Yes very much so. That's good. Let me take a look at Ursula. I need a reminder. Little.

You don't have to type all that in. I just. Oh, okay, yeah, there you go. Yeah. So put it on the website. That's right, put it on Roseanne. What is the Roseanne website? Is it rose the website. That's right put it on Roseanne. What is the Roseanne website? Is it RoseanneBar.com?

That couldn't be. No, Rosannegame.com. Alright, well there's a little viewer mail. What are we on to next fellas? What do you got? Oh, okay. Here's Jay with the Dumb Zone News. Alright, let's see here. We're going to start with this story from out in LA.

Did you see yesterday that the Dodgers had to respond or post about ice raids happening at their parking lots? Or are you just kind of saying I'm going to tune this story out entirely? Because that's kind of where I am with it until it involves sports No, I did see it on Twitter and it was like then or also it was on my five things Oh, yeah, Kate Baldwin's off this week I'm sorry. Yeah, I Look forward to sleeveless Kate Baldwin once a week And I didn't I didn't write a sleeveless day, right?

once a week. And I didn't get that. Friday's sleeveless day, right? Well, at least one day a week. And then she also looks extremely good in the turtleneck. God, dude, he's just turning into my grandpa, who just. Just evaluates news chicks. Just checking out news ladies. Knows which days they're in turtlenecks.

Give me the only positive thing in my life that I have left. Hey, look, I'm not taking it. I'm just pointing it out. But anyway, they had the story on there, I think, today too, where, but then it was like, who is it? ICE? Yeah, and they're like, we weren't there. They denied it, like we do on everything these days,

on Twitter. And then, but I guess, I don't know. It was Homeland Security or somebody, it was border patrol. Why do they wear masks? I thought we hated masks. I thought I can't breathe because I have a mask on. What are we doing here?

So they can't be doxed. What the? What does that mean? People sees a guy that they know that is an ICE agent and threatens his family, shows up to his house. That's the reason? Yeah. I assume so, yeah.

All right. That's what Tom Roman said. Who's that? The border czar? I say his last name wrong. I don't know. Who? OK, if we're going to just start dropping the border czar's name like he's an offensive

coordinator in the NFC East I'm supposed to know, you're gonna have to update me big time. The only czar I know is Mike Furtello. Homan. Tom Homan. I'm sorry. Tom Homan? He's on the daily this week.

Okay, the sports czar, yes. Do you know that Mike Furtello was the czar of the Telestrator? Oh, no. Yeah. Okay. That's great. Hey, thanks, bro Why did you just know that guy's name so quickly are you that is weird he's on the daily You're still listening that I

Pretend that left leaning right past yeah a man in Tarrant County 86 well done guy horrible horrible story here wait. What is it a man? What actually 82 they mistyped it of the headline 82 year old guy, horrible, horrible story here. Wait, what is it? A man what? Actually 82, they mistyped it in the headline. 82 year old man in Fort Worth, out taking care of his lawn, which was his pride and joy. Respect.

Attacked by neighborhood dogs. What? Oh man. And killed. Whoa. Yeah. What was he wearing? Yeah, he had his t-shirt on.

It made him look like a hot dog, you know? Six-leg shirt. Dude. Dude, dog death has got to be. That's got to be. I'd rather burn alive. I wonder how many 80-year-olds die while doing the lawn, though. Do you know?

Probably a lot. This happened just a couple weeks ago in my neighborhood, but two years ago this happened too. We were picking up my daughter from a friend's house, and there was an old man who was like, you know, sometimes the between your lawn and the street there's that big ditch. It's probably called something. I don't know.

It's fine. I don't know either. Never going to get it. Well, anyway, his riding lawnmower had kind of like tipped in there and he was like laying down on the ground and we had the funniest thing I've ever heard. I had to go help this like and then his wife is like, oh, yeah, he won't stop. You know, he won't.

It's this guy. It's run the ball guy when he turns 85 and he can't really move anymore. He'll be like, no, this is what I do. I mow the lawn. Yeah. When really he just doesn't want to give Mexicans money. Yeah, that's a big part of it.

So I had to, yeah, we had to help him up and get the lawnmower and all this stuff. Yeah, I mean, I imagine. And it happened again this week. There was a dude in my neighborhood. Same thing. I bet heat exhaustion and things like that happen a lot. But violent animals or you ended up in a action movie sequence

tipped over on your riding lawnmower. That's pretty out there. Yeah. Dude, Dude TC were you there when we saw that guy drive that riding lawnmower into the lake into the canal? Okay I saw someone I saw a guy one time right across from where the guy was working himself why his wife got eaten out. There the backyards out at the lake they went to a canal and they were slightly sloped. And there was an old man who was mowing his yard with a riding lawnmower and he couldn't get it off. And he just drove it right into the canal.

Wow. Now it's not very deep right there so it didn't take much for it to just bottom out. Did you think it was hilarious? Dude, it was so funny. And then you're like, well, he's going to die if we don't get over there. And he had family that came down, and they were, I don't know. They were... Now, that is a good story, but let me just kind of get inside your brain. Why did you need to confirm it with TC off the air first?

I don't know. I thought maybe he could help me tell the story because somebody was there, and we had to run over and pull him out. They had called the cops on us before, so they weren't thanking us that bit. Or they're embarrassed. Did you do mouth to mouth? Yeah, on the old guy.

On his balls right there. Mouth to mouth the balls. I thought maybe he was drowning. No, but yeah, that's a tough scene. The animal, the dog attack, though. There was no way to turn it? It just didn't have the right radius? animal, the dog attack though. There's no way to turn it, like it just didn't have the right radius.

No, he was like 85. OK. Oh, yeah. It was just runaway, straight up runaway. But yeah, the dog attack has got to be. Have you ever seen someone who was bit by a dog, who had been bitten by a dog? Yeah, my brother got attacked by a neighbor dog when he was a kid.

He was little Hospital I Mean to get stitches and stuff. Yeah Bit his face. Damn. Yeah, it's terrible stuff. I Was like guess you shouldn't be mean to dogs bro. It was my brother. I thought it was hilarious I don't know your brother that well, but him being mean to dogs doesn't seem that out of character, yeah. Is that a really mean thing to say?

Well, you could tell I was the guy, you know. Our dog was my dog. You were the sweet kid. However, in a sense, but again, I thought it was hilarious that his face was a bit up. Have I ever had my dad tell you guys about like what? UPS for example warehouse jobs like that were like like in the 80s in the 90s Probably more the 80s like when it was a it wasn't a publicly traded company. There was no OSHA

You know, it's just a huge warehouse like it's it's like the size of an air city there's people in there and there's a ton of stuff you can steal and fights are very common and a woman was shot this morning in the parking lot of an employee at the FedEx hub in Fort Worth and it just took me back to like my dad would have stories like that all the time they'd have games know? Just tempers flaring? Yeah, and just again, you've got a bunch of dudes. There's almost no women working there at the time.

Working conditions are shitty. It's hot. You're working in a warehouse in Texas in Mesquite or whatever. They might not air condition it. Back then, no way. And there's a lot of, you're not making that much. There's a bunch of stuff around you can steal. Everything, basically.

And your dad was the boss? I guess he was trying to be. But yeah, it was a wild... It was a wild job. A woman shot in the parking lot in Fort Worth. During shift change, they were fighting when one pulled a pistol. What's your name? Okay. During shift change they were fighting when one pulled a pistol. What's her name?

Okay. It's not in here, but I don't know. She's working an overnight at FedEx. I'm not saying there's no chance she's not just going through something. What if she's the hottest overnight FedEx worker? I mean, it's certainly possible, but... You know, I feel like male people are getting hotter Really government jobs good job, bro. I

Feel like I guess it was I Feel like I've seen an increase in in hot male ladies. Yeah Let's see which one do we want to do here? Those trucks aren't air conditioned, are they? No, I don't think so. How about the Amazon trucks? They look pretty great. Like they're all electric and stuff. Don't you think?

I mean, really all that comes down to me is do they have air conditioning. It seems like they must, because their doors are fully closed. Whereas, like, why is the UPS door open so they could run real quick out of there? I assume so. Like, that's idiotic.

Like, how much time are they saving by not opening a door and closing a door? You're on a schedule. I know, but. What the heck was that? Is there something? What was that? My bad.

Feedback? Oh. Does anybody know? Phillips, you probably know this. Is there something, what was that? My bad, feedback. Oh. Phillips, you should probably know this. Is there something of like FedEx trucks or UPS trucks can only turn a certain way? Like they're programmed to, no one is responding, making me- Yeah, all commercial vehicles now can be programmed, basically, to only go in certain,

like they can have a GPS navigation system that blacks out certain streets, like if they're over the weight limit for that street. And if there's a traffic circulation thing that they wanna implement, then they can do that remotely. Like they can geo-fence it off? Shut up. I just wanna use language I knew that Philip understood. Because you've heard of that now?

I have heard of that now. So to see, yeah, we've all heard of it. I have been made aware of that now. And then a quick Diddy update for you here. Do you remember, Blake, when this story first was happening and Diddy was fleeing the country and they were looking for all of his accomplices and randomly some former Syracuse basketball player,

some little white kid was arrested? Do you remember the story at all? I don't remember that. Well, there was a kid who, okay, he's just like a random you'd see him pop during March Madness looking dude and he was like Diddy's drug mule. Like made his way from hey I'm just bench player in college basketball gets in the right circles and his whole job was procuring ketamine ecstasy for Diddy's freak-off parties. And this is the sort of time where I wish you were there to ask, what were you paid for that?

Oh yeah. He was on the stand and they didn't ask? No. Well if they did it's not included in any of the stories. Yeah, that's great. That's what I want to know. Do you get 100 grand? Do you get benefits? Yeah. And I mean benefits like health care and all that, not like you also get some of the drugs or whatever. Some side poon?

Yeah, sloppy seconds. You said that when you leaned in. I've always dreamed of being a sloppy seconds guy. Walk me through that. What does that mean? Like, I would like to, I know that I can't be a superstar. I'm like you as a gunner on the team. OK. Like, I would just want to be friends with someone that I would get residual poon on the side.

OK. And we would all kind of know. Like, she would know. Like, I would know that she really was hoping that she was with him, but then she's with me. Yeah, of course. It would be a weird kind of a relationship,

but it exists out there. Like your side poon. I'd like to get some of that one of these days. All these chicks that come on by Run up to Jake um and then let's see what's time. We're good. What's the word poon? What is that? That's a great question let's ask Philip. What do you think? What does Matt Stubbs think? Matt is our sit-in on the road no idea idea where Poon comes from? Well, what good are you? Yeah, Poon Tang. The origin of Poon Tang. Oh, Poon Tang? Yeah, what's that?

Why are you sitting behind me? Is that like Vietnam or something? The feedback. The feedback. Okay, well this is not going to work. Oh, okay, yeah, he's umpiring now. Yeah. Call him balls and strikes, Phillip Kingston. Yeah, he's umpiring now. Yeah, Colin balls is trying to fill up. Yeah. He's like sitting behind me I don't know. I don't know what to do right now. Where do I sit? Thank you, Beth white white move Well, yeah, he's worried about being in front of the things. Well, yeah, but I don't want him just sitting behind me Yeah, are you paranoid?

Look, I'm like sitting next to each other and all that. Damn dude. It's just, it is. It's a beautiful thing. It's also weird to imagine being like that when you're that old. Like, like me that old. It's just weird. It's weird to imagine flirting. Imagine being like that when you're that old. What do you mean? Like me that old. It's just weird. It's weird to imagine flirting.

Like that shit is. Come on, man. You know what I'm talking about. Oh, you're still really just dating your wife? Pretending to be interested in every story. Whatever, bro. Driving a conversation? Oh no, that's a different story. You're saying act like I'm in love with my wife?

That is weird. Well, that's what I'm saying. If I had a new lady though, that's the fun. It's just odd to imagine. That's the best part of a relationship is the beginning. Then it all sucks after that. Nah, Henry, it's great. It'll be great.

Your whole life's going to be awesome. Let's do some viewer mail birthdays first. And we now have Matt Stubbs is back. He's sitting in on the road. I'm back. What's your bit? My bit? I don't know. I'm Jake's landscape architect. Jake's landscape. Whoa. What's your bit? My bit?

I'm Jake's landscape architect. Jake's landscape. Whoa. Look who has a landscape architect. That's right. And unlike with yours, he designed and I acted upon it. He designed. That's why he's here today. We're working on Dan.

It's very cool. Now, I mean, it kind of feels like you just draw grass over here Kind of put some concrete up. No, here's my bill. Yeah Yes, yes Looks great. Also Philip Kingston is here behind Jake. He's calling balls and strikes And I just want to make sure, did we get any viewer mail birthdays in during the program? We did not.

rearranger of IUDs damn son Tomorrow's my older brother the official doctor of the dumb zone and certified good dude. Dr. Chuck Perry's 40th birthday Not a Jill Biden doctor. This is true He could help you should you fall ill? He says Well, do you have anything to say about Chuck Perry before I read the next line? I love him dearly.

He's a close friend. I know what he's probably angling for here. Go ahead. Well, he says, I imagine Jake will tell the story of my brother telling him about how bad COVID will be or how he would call into the shake joint to talk about things he pulled out of people's butts as an ER doc. Is this the guy we met in Austin?

No. You remember we had an ER doc in Austin? Ryan McCorkle in Austin, no. Chuck is a good friend of ours who, yeah, he's done that. He pulls stuff out of butts. How many people do you know that pull things out of butts? No, I mean, the honest truth is, I feel like it's every one in the medical field. I just didn't know is I feel like it's everyone in the medical field.

I just didn't know. I feel like they would have been telling us, but they're all just... Basically anyone who works at ER. In an ER, yeah. It's just nothing but pulling stuff out of people's butts. What do you know about this man who has a wife who is a nurse? Has she ever given you a story about pulling something out of a butt besides yours? That's more the doctor's thing.

If it's in there, she'll help, but no. I would think you'd give that to the nurse. You know how they do the grunt work? We've got a couple. Do the doctors like it? Yeah, I don't know. We have a nurse here? I thought somebody might have been, but we have multiple listeners who are routinely

pulling things out of people's anuses. For work. I don't know. Yeah. So Dr. Chuck Perry's leaders are Sarah Heppala's absolute milksheds. Jesus Christ. That's a new one. Milkshed. Christ. That's a new one. Milk Shed.

Or is it the Sheds at Austin Brewery? All right, I can't read the other ones. That should have been third, dude. Keep Cranking Hog and Faze Up from Sam Perry. Hell yeah. Love it. Will you crank hog? Do you tell your buddies to crank a little hog this weekend? Everybody when they're hanging out with their friends this weekend, crank some hog, bro.

Fun fact, my last dog. Uh oh. I bet this isn't fun. Petey was the dog that triggered Jake into banning all pet birthday announcements at your last employer. How did you sneak through? He says, Petey died 2 and 1 half years ago.

Did Jake's hateful embargo cause his untimely death? Almost certainly. If he feels like practicing a little step nine and making amends. Fuck you. death almost certainly if he feels like practicing a little step nine and making amends fuck you that's so dirty he has my number his leader is that horny divorced broad laughing at the pirates fan who went all durstuka over the right field wall yeah hope she found some butt i think she did she's still laughing about it. It was very funny

of Joshua Vance of the Ohio State University. James Crowley, this is from Gold Tesla Rants. The Gold Tesla, we drove in his Tesla. Yeah. Or his... Cybertruck. Cybertruck in Dark Rugby. It's Dallas Athletic Rugby Club, I think.

Oh, well it says DARC. What am I supposed to know? How do I know these things? So today in history, on this day, Friday, June 20th, in 1782, Congress approved the Great Seal of the United States, which depicted an eagle clutching an olive branch in one talon and 13 arrows in the other and a ribbon in its beak Bearing the motto

You would know this He blew a sunum nice What does that mean Blake Out of many one sounds right does he understand the word Blake It does mean yes Phillips showing off there. Let's be fun Doing that I bill for this day in 1901

So a streak started in Major League Baseball on this day in 1901 Jack Taylor was a pitcher He pitched a complete game That would be the first of 188 consecutive complete games He pitched a total of 17,000 or excuse me one thousand seven hundred and twenty seven innings without release without relief That's insane in his arm. No, Lorraine's a pussy. That's right on this day in

1967 Muhammad Ali was convicted in Houston for refusing inducted into the US Armed Forces They handed down the maximum sentence to Cassius Clay. They insisted upon calling him that in court Five years in a federal penitentiary and a ten thousand dollar fine The Supreme Court would overturn that conviction in 1971 Did he do time? I don't believe so. Okay. Anybody else know?

No? Okay. But there's probably no- I was reading about it. There's probably no documentaries or anything we could- No, no, there's no way to find that out. No, I'm looking at Jack Taylor's stats. Okay.

He had five consecutive years of over 300 innings pitched. In 1902. I bet Nolan did that. He started 34 games and threw 333 innings. Almost, yeah. A complete game every game. Yeah. It's insane.

Is that a record that'll never be broken? Yeah, that's not coming back. What if James 55 of the Semiton? And on this Yeah, I'll mention it on this day in 2006 Dwayne Wade had 36 points And importantly made four free throws Dwayne Wade had 36 points And Importantly made four free throws with under 30 seconds left in the game. He got to the line, huh? Leaving the heat to the franchise's first NBA championship

The good news is is that Scott Foster wasn't on the phone every single game talking to a... First of seven consecutive, right? Known mobster cohort. Yeah, it's crazy to leave... This was a different Heat team. This wasn't that team that would win seven straight. What are you saying?

Oh, I didn't hear him. He said first of seven. The 06 team was such a... That was such a weird Heat team. Like, it was almost harder for me to hate them. What's Shaq on that team? Jack was Shaq white chocolate Is he Don is having yeah, it was that before the Lakers were in three straight So it was Shaq broke up with Kobe and look I won a championship you didn't yeah It was a fun team and a famous wedding on this date.

Would this go well? In 1987, Johnny Carson at the age of 62 married Alexis Moss. She was 35. That may have gone well. I don't know. Maybe that was past his wife-beaten days that I read about. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know that it ever really leaves you, it seems like. Well, I don't know. They didn't have game day men's health back then and he might have lost his tea and just lost the will to To be married yeah, I don't know just to do anything to care It's funny to imagine Johnny Carson being violent like not funny funny, but you know, but he doesn't look like that no You'd beat up by Dana Carvey or something.

And it was, I mean, you could be really far away and feel the heat on your face. And there would be people like right up next to it.

And I don't know how they did that. It would be like sunburn, I would think, after being that close. Was it the bit that they could see it from like the space shuttle or whatever? Probably. That's what I always heard. Yeah. It was big former Ranger Carlos Lee is 49 barely remember

It's a little steep but okay I think probably value there just we're a small firm. Okay I know what we paid you. So shout out to the Game Day Men's Health studio.

Hell yeah! That's right. You feeling a little down? I highly suggest Game Day Men's Health. There's a location near you and Brian Wilson was born on this day now dead. He died like last week. I'm surprised you didn't jump into the news with that. Dude I swear to God I was telling him this today I heard them do that on the ticket and I was like again it was pretty close to break in like they came back with a Beach Boys song and I was just I was thinking about that day on the tennis court because they were like they're like going over what Beach Boys song meant the most I don't know man you know when I it? I don't know, man. Yeah, and when I broke in, I kind of

thought you guys would just riff on ZZ Top. What was your favorite song? Yeah, man, I'm glad he broke in. Let's kind of throw the clock out the window now, because Dusty Hill is it? Was it Dusty Hill? OK, and like I said, big weekend for Jake. And I hope he's going to be OK after this.

But we'll lead up to that. I have three. I'll give you Dead on this Day Still Dead. We have Prodigy, the rapper. OK, yeah. We have Jack Kilby. He invented the handheld calculator. What was the other one? What was the other one?

What was that? Massive one. Is that the Texas Instruments thing? Was this just on a building? Room size? I don't know. OK. It might have been embedded in Dallas, right?

Isn't that like a Texas Instruments type thing? TI. Yep. But died on this day. I didn't know they called me Tip. In 2011. God, I remember when Jake came into work on that day and kind of pushed me against the wall

and said, bro, there'll never be another one. He died doing what he loved. So you have that. Died on this day in 2011. At the age of 34, tragic. I think I know this one too. When you're 34 years old, to die so young, and so much in front of you.

Just, I want you to now imagine all. Just read the birthday! Or you say it. Imagine all that this guy probably would have accomplished. Theater, charity work. Died on this day in 2011, Ryan Dunn. Yeah, that's right. With a hot wheel in his anus.

From Jackass. Yes, speaking of all that. Just think of how he could have changed the world. Probably broker a peace between Israel and Palestine. And that was today in history. Dude, still one of the hardest I've ever laughed in my life was when Chappie put that on for my grandfather. Jackass?

That specific scene where Ryan Dunn has a hot wheel in his ass. Okay so Chappieappy and the old man did chappy like jackass oh yeah okay great yeah and the old man it was just a such a moment of like feeling the evolution of man like my grandfather was trying to keep it up but the second he said he just died laughing oh he okay he liked it too yeah that scene we showed him okay I thought he might have been against the world and like, I can't believe. Hell in a hand basket.

We have more. You were kind of waiting. You got to pay for this. I rescind the thank you to the Constellation Club in a few moments.

Well, I just had an interesting story from when I went to go get my... What's going on? We got a heckler over here. I know. When I went to a couple years or so ago when I went to my annual physical, it was after Philip had his thing in his office to sit in, and my doctor I was talking to was like, so did you grow up in North Richmond Hills area or something like that? I was like, no, no.

I mean, how do you know Jake Kemp? And I was like, is this about the dumb zone? And so my doctor was asking me about the dumb zone because he had heard my name when I was on the thing with Philip. Oh, I feel like, wait, what just happened? We're good. Oh. Yeah, so he had heard my name when I was on briefly at Philip's law office and he was

asking me about the dumb zone. So apparently, you're always wondering, are there smart people that listen to the dumb zone? Yes, my general practitioner is listening to the dumb zone. Continuously blown away. I don't feel like your doctor should mention that they saw your name outside of that office and bring it up.

He's a good dude. Would that make you uncomfortable? I feel like it would, but I don don't know maybe I'm a weirdo anyway, I Went to the Rangers game, and I had a few interesting notes yesterday They play YMCA, but no pride night thought that was interesting Everybody's going nets for YMCA The escalators very frustrating you go up an escalator and you would

think the corresponding escalator within Tosla take you up no that one's coming down you got to walk all the way around the corner to escalator it goes up that's primarily the case of like balls and stuff now too yeah that's what Philip was telling me very annoying I don't know why they do it. Get more steps though. You do get more steps. We try to look at the positive here. Lone Star is in canned at the ballpark, which is better for a baseball game than the cup. So everybody can look forward to drinking Lone Star

at the DZ baseball game. Very nice. Live spot. Have we announced that yet? Not yet. Do we know when it is even? September 10th. Oh, okay.

We just kind of announced it. We're gonna do a big announcement later. Yeah, we'll send is even? September 10th. Okay. Just kind of announced it We're gonna do a big announcement later. Yeah, we'll send out the link and cool cool. Okay. Hopefully I'll make it And at the game I had a thought that we could do as a bit if you are interested Because you always see like a lot of the big name players jerseys and whatnot But you never see just like the random believer like like you never see like a hobie builder dude That's a big game of ours. Yeah, or to look for them. Yeah, but I'm just thinking on the road Yeah, yes You're looking for the most obscure cowboy jersey could be any sort of like weird Rangers reliever like

Jim Kern and go from like this year's team, you know, I When we go out there this year, you'll do... Oh, yeah. I would probably just do... I hate to bring up one Ranger reliever, because I like them all so much. The whole pen has just been cooking. You wouldn't want a single one. You seem like a big Cole Wynn guy.

Oh, Cole Wynn. So I thought it would be a great idea if we all got... We could get the t-shirts made and everybody has they could all be the same Rangers reliever are all a bunch of different Just Ranger spares and we're just all there with these t-shirts on that have all these spirits These spares on the team on and people are just very confused as to why are they all wearing? Hope you know there is your L. Jackson L. Jackson Chris Martin as Armstrong That is a great bit Oh, we know there is your... Luke Jackson. Chris Martin. Miss Armstrong. And Broffle. That is a great bit.

That's all I got. Now we thank the Constellation Club. And thank you Matt Stubbs. Thank you Philip. And... We'll see you Monday. Cranking Adios mofo gotta go before this becomes a zoo
