Someone needs to do it from their house quickly, have them deliver the car to their house. Who's it going to be? Who's the big time player today? Well, I think Fair Lease. Is that what you're looking for here no I need a listener oh the listener is the Fairlease is automatic. Fairlease is putting up point. They're one of our best sponsors that's not even a question what I need is someone who needs a car to contact them at fairlease.org. Well you got to mention the dumpster you got to put that

wearing crazy tar heel get up, like custom bedazzled. Like what if I achieve my dream and I got my 22 year old girlfriend. Your 22 year old goth? But she's- It's just like I have to run all my shit through her on the show. Anything we all do.

All the artwork. Just CC her on it. Why is that gonna hurt you, Blake? All right, all right, all, Blake? Hello, Van everybody. I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jake Kemp. I'm Blake Jones. We have Clayton here. I'm gonna listen. I see TC is here. I wanna listen to the dawn song. I see Ted Emmerich here.

What? Whoa. I'm gonna listen. The TV Ted Show. So if we do a show revolving around golf all of a sudden Ted Emmerich just shows up. I've got to be here it's just part of the deal. Seriously when I walk out here and I see this weather and I feel it and I see the fairways I hear his voice whether he's here or not. I mean you can. It's true. Cut the pollen with a knife.

The tension is in the air here at Bear Creek Golf Club. That's right. We're here for on behalf of wire will and his. Mary Band of whatever. Yes, it's the O.C. Taylor Dad's Club from Grapevine Colleyville School District. And when I was a kid, now this might have been like Yes, it's the O.C. Taylor Dad's Club from Grapevine Colleyville School District. And when I was a kid, now this might have been like, if we're just going to put the

cards on the table here, kind of a race slash socioeconomic neighborhood thing. But I always thought schools that started with two letters were badass. Like they're O.D. Wyatt. Okay. You don't play with those guys. You don't mess with O.'re OD Wyatt. Okay. You don't play with those guys. You don't mess with OD Wyatt. What else we got? Blake, give me something.

LD Bell felt dangerous at times for sure. You got FC Dallas? Yeah, fear their hearts folks. Is that a high school? The two name high schools too. I don't know. Two name. I guess Dallas Carter is a bad example, but when there's two names to a high school, Wilmer

Hutchins always seemed like they'd be good. About that. More than they lost their receiving unit. Shooting, yes. Shooting. Anyways, yeah. O.C. Taylor Dads Club. Cool Bros.

Our core audience. They love golf. They love golf, folks. As does Ted Emrick, who is fresh off of a Masters. Can you tell? I just had to wear the hat for you guys. I want everyone to know that I am officially Masters hat guy, and I'm also rope hat guy.

That's a sick hat. I hate it. Do they give that to you? No, no. Why do you know you're there covering the Masters? Dude, NFL players pay for their own family's tickets. They're not given this guy. Absolutely not. This is Ted Emmerich. There are people at the Masters. Don't take this the wrong way. They don't know he's there. Of course.

Oh, unbelievable. I can't believe that. People say, I won't even accept that. Did you meet Jim Nance? Ha ha ha ha. Jim Nance has no knowledge of my existence. How much time did you spend with Rory? Yeah, I mean, we just hung out.

After every round at the house, you know. Come on, man. Did he talk to you Saturday night? Just about his mindset? Yeah, as we were, as we were watching Bridgerton with him and his wife, he was getting psyched up for the final round. Ladies love that show, Dan. Yeah, he watched Bridgerton Saturday night.

Oh, he said this. And Bryson watched a James Bond, Pierce Brosnan era movie. Okay, that all pretty much. That all checks out. It's kind of like when I saw Chris Sims a night before a big game going into, was it Legally Blonde or something?

Yeah, I think so. I think so. The same week I think Ray Lewis was saying he watched Gladiator the night before. That's what it was, yeah. Every big murder. Every week. I want you to also know that I am a Chipotle Nationals guy.

What does that mean? Some more merch. That's got to be a basketball tournament of some sort. The tournament that crowns a national champion in high school basketball. Won this year by Christopher Columbus High School in Miami. Wow. With the Boozer twins. Oh you know what's crazy about the Boozer twins? Yeah Carlos. Carlos' sons. They're like six inches apart but they're twins. Yep. Kayden's a point guard, Cam's a big. Yeah but they're it's really really weird. Are

they not identical? No they are they are fraternal, okay, and they are going to Duke So that's what's next post Cooper flag the boos are we're gonna hear a lot about you're gonna hear all about the boos are I wonder if they already have to you know topic on their hair like they're dead I remember how bad I got I think it might have been when he was including like a hard shell head Yeah, it was just a little Lego snap-on he would put on top of his hairline. No, we were, it was a very messy divorce from Cleveland. Cause I believe they had had a verbal deal

to sign a contract later, and if you sign this crappy one now, we'll hook you up later. And then when later came, he just ran to the jazz that's that's like the most our one thing ever Carlos Boozer is is on the list when you get walked for Utah yeah so what what do you got from the Masters like you got any any crazy tale for us anything like where do you do the broadcast we are in what they call the content center.

This is a building that they put together a few years ago that is literally across the street from the golf course. They acquired this land. It's next to a church. Augusta National has bought all this land over the years, as they just continue to sprawl and take over more of Augusta, Georgia. Yeah, we like right outside the window is the biggest collection of TV trucks you've ever seen. And this is where a lot of the international

broadcasters are. BBC radio, canal TV, whatever, in France, German television, all of this. So no, it's not like I'm at 18, you know, in the fishbowl, in the booth, a la Nancer, anybody else. But you are still there. You walk the course on Tuesday. OK, they let you do that. Yes, thankfully, yes.

Is that cool? Yeah, it is. You know, it's funny, you guys would. You guys would probably bag on it. I think I would love it. I really do. Yeah, I want to get some steps, bro. How many steps you get?

And you wouldn't just be getting steps. But again, it is such the Cliche at Augusta National. I mean TV doesn't do it justice. Just all the elevation changes. Is it beautiful? How hilly it is. Yeah, of course. I mean, it's expertly manicured. Like it's the nicest piece of property that you'll ever see. All the azaleas are blooming just in time. Like the amount of money they spend.

Do you think they're putting the pre-emergent on time there? Oh, they have somebody like Blake. That was months ago. No doubt. The people who run that course have like bodies on their ledger because they used to work for the United States government or NASA or something. Those are like the smartest science people

you can find in the private sector, I bet. And so this year on the crew, you had a couple of new people. They'd never covered the Masters before. And walking with them that Tuesday. On your crew, the Westwood One crew? Correct. They have never been there before. They've always wanted to go.

And you're all just that now? Yeah, just the jaded guy. This is number 10 for me. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, I'll show you around. And just the childlike wonder that they have. I mean, you guys would probably make fun of it. But at every turn, they were like,

this is just the greatest day of my life. I can't believe. I mean, listen, I was not like that in 2015, okay, when I was very blessed to go there for the first time, but it's really, really cool. I think I would pay a lot of money just to go to a big event where no one had a phone, and I couldn't either.

It'd be very interesting. I mean, I've seen a handful of them right like comedy shows just it's nice It's weird. I was a age to not have a phone on you. Yeah. Yeah like you for an entire day You got to leave it in the car. Do you have to when you just walk the course? Yes, I leave it back at our studio. They don't let you Okay, cuz you're not allowed to go out there and take a picture. We're not Nance, who will get a sticker on his phone. He's exempt. There are a few people that are exempt.

Just the ultimate big time move. But it's the Niko press conference of golf courses, right? It's like you can't record anything, can't whatever. So during practice rounds, leading up to Thursday when the tournament begins it's not a championship Dan it's a tournament you are allowed to bring an actual camera disposable camera digital camera that's totally fine right yeah absolutely that is allowed but starting Thursday the big one with the no can we use that one yeah starting Thursday, the big one with the no We use that one. Yeah Starting Thursday, no phone. No camera. No nothing. You don't play golf do you?

Very little I I got a lesson for the first time last summer the bug started to bite me and Kind of getting that itch now as we get into that time of year. And now that he's a play-by-play guy. I know. It just, you can't fight it. Right. No. You really can't.

I feel like age calls you to the golf course too. Yeah. Like now you have a Saturday, your kids are not at home anymore. Your Saturday is now totally free. Yeah. You're looking over at that old bag. She's off. That ain't what I married 20 years ago. What if I'm busy all day?

If I just go out for what if I go out for four hours, six hours? Yeah. Well, hey, I brought my clubs. You want to nine and dine after this? Me? Yeah, I told you I got an early 18 in this morning. Oh, OK. So I might have another night. Yeah, make it, you know, 27, OK. So I might have another night. Yeah, make it 27, 36. What's stopping you? My favorite thing from his master's trip

is he knows how much I love a good lake sign. Oh, yeah, of course. Hey, relax, you're on Lake Time. Oh, yeah. The house he was staying in had the classic, wasn't born in the South but got here as quick as I could, or something of that effect. The house that. Do you stay in the same house every year? We've stayed in the South, but got here as quick as I could, or something of that effect.

The house that- Do you stay in the same house every year? We've stayed in the same house every single year. Okay. Which is the- You almost get to know their family, which is kinda creepy. Westwood one, Airbnb's a-

Yeah, I mean they, whatever the deal is, I don't know if it's through Airbnb, but they rent a mansion. It's not a mansion, it's a house. Oh. Most of the houses are- In a community. Like huge, I don't think, right? I mean, it's nice.

You get your own room? Yeah, I do. Yes, we all do. We all have our own bedroom. You know, there's four of us to the house. And they've been renting this house this week for however many years now. Do you stake the same room every year? I have. I have, yes. And since you're the vet on the crew you're like that's my room bro. There are nicer

rooms like my room does not have a bathroom. Oh you got to share a bathroom. Yeah you know you don't want to be too big time. Yeah I read this article I think this article probably comes out every year but it's just the recap of the rental market for those seven days. They do, the city does over double what they do in a normal month in those seven days. And they time up spring break in the school district. Yes.

Whatever school district is in Augusta so that you can rent your house out. And what I've heard too is it's tax free money. Like they have some kind of deal on the books in Augusta where it is tax free. The 10, 12K, whatever it is that you're getting for that week renting out your house. Get to keep all of it.

It's pretty sweet. What's the deal with taxes, bros? Yeah, man. I was doing some stuff on that this morning. Yeah, we've got an extension. I thought Elon was- Post-tax day. I don't know anything about taxes. Thought they were going away, man.

I think they should be higher. Yeah, I thought they're gone because of a tariff. Anyway. I don't know what's going on. Can't get hurt by the stock market if you cash out your 401k to float you free. Did you? Black guy pointed a head at me. For real.

Everybody's like, my 401k is destroyed. I'm like, I can tell you one way to avoid that. Do the thing that they say never do. Yeah, the thing that the lady on the phone is like, I think I have to ask you 12 times if you're sure you want to do this. That's right. Do you understand the penalty you're about to take? That's right, that's right.

Can I read this real quick to dovetail what you said about Nance on Monday? Always. There is a new feature article on him from golf.com. Oh yeah. Right up there with space.com. What to get you signed up for that Dan. The most famous voice in sports began his breakfast order with a peculiar adjustment

to the menu. You know the toast. Jim Nance told our server a smile forming at the corners of his mouth. I'll do the toast, Nance style. He said that. He said that with this writer present. He said that. And you know the story behind this right? No. Okay, so to recap our favorite Jim Nance spins, you've got the oil painting that his first wife refused to put above the fireplace. Barefoot?

Barefoot on the fairways. A picture of him. Correct. That's right. Of only him, not the family, not the couple. Not him and her. Just him. And he wanted over the fireplace, so she said no.

Probably him and his CBS blazer, a headshot of some sort. It's like A-Rod is the only other person I could think of. OK, so two. So yes, two taking his shoes and socks off and grounding himself, becoming one with Augusta National on Wednesday afternoon before the tournament begins. Every year. He does that every single year.

That rules. And number three, number three is how he likes his damn toast and he has a laminated card in his wallet that shows a picture of burnt toast that is how he likes it i think i recall you telling us before and as much as i want to hate it i love it actually I Think it's great like he's clearly had his toast messed up a lot. He's got a lot of power He's explained it before he said I'd like it really burnt. They bring it normal Yes, I mean I just set it back put it through again

I think that's just smart did I stutter because if you're gonna you will be remembered It's the how to turn on your light on the iPhone, right? Yeah, yeah, the lady who taught you. You know that story. So the lady who was an asshole to you when she sold you a phone, she was like, hey, idiot. Like this. Yeah.

She's real mean. She's like, you've got to push down. You've just got to push down on it. And I'll never forget that. Yes. And so yes, you will never forget Jim Nance's toast order, which you just got to be an a-hole. I actually think that that's super defensible.

But I think if I was like, I have a card, and I'd like a Kemp style, then I should be kicked in the stomach. You can't say that. But I love articles like that. TC and I have talked about this for years. Like when I first started reading celebrity profiles and Rolling Stone or Sports Illustrated, you know,

they'd always, it always starts with an order. Oh yeah. You know what I mean? It's like Sharon Stone ordered a chopped salad. Avocado salad from a West Valley. I was like, why do I keep hearing so much about what these people are eating? Dressing on the side.

And it starts with his breakfast order here at Augusta. So this is at his favorite diner near Pebble Beach, one of his houses. Just as it appeared as if Jim Nance knew everyone in the restaurant, he turned to the table and ordered breakfast with Nance-style toast, and the waitress, evidently a newbie, paused politely. And by Nance style you mean... Oh no. He said, Oh just put it through the toaster twice. Incredible. Yeah that's an actual

human being who walks around in life like that. That's why he needs the Must Burger treatment. Oh, dear. They need a firing out of nowhere that shocks the world. Get Elon to look at the CBS. What are we paying? Let's see how can we be more. Wait, this guy just does golf. Re-negotiate Romo a little bit, you think?

I don't know. I like Romo. Let him make what he's making. I'm on board with Romo. The worst thing that could happen is if they do get rid of Nance and we're like, oh man, Romo's still annoying. Like if they get someone great and cool and you have vibes.

You put eye and eagle with them, which I'd love to hear. I think that'd be great. Yeah, what does that chemistry look like? Nance. Oh, this moment. The shimmering trees here at Bear Creek Golf Club. Beckoning a new champion. So the OC Taylor Dad's Club Classic.

It's so perfect. That's some kind of sports, Dan. But I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about Community. Oh, yeah, Community Mechanical. They got bits going on over there. I heard about this. Let me see here.

In fact, he was telling me about WireWill. He said, I was talking to Travis, he said WireWill, Community Mechanical, Qualys, and a different listener who reached out who has a commercial construction company They meet monthly to share best practices and give advice to each other and business to each other So he said if anyone else who has home services or companies or anything adjacent to construction Reach out they would add them to that little cohort. I'm gonna go consortium. Consortium? It's a we got a legitimate consortium. So you

can go to communitydfw.com, you could actually email Travis at communitydfw.com or you can call or text 469-667-7290. But I think the main reason to hook up with them is preventative maintenance on your HVAC system. In fact, they're going to come out to my house next, I believe it'll be Monday, depending on where we do our show, Monday or Friday, because they want to get that done before the summer heat really kicks in. Ooh, that is important, apparently. Anyone who signs up for preventative maintenance now through the rest of April will be entered into to win the company's four lower level

tickets and parking to a Dallas Stars Playoff game. Wow. Also, you're entered into that contest. If you see the Community Mechanical truck driving around DFW, they have like a fleet of trucks. Oh, I just saw one in the parking lot here at Bear Creek. It says never listen to the dumb zone on the back. And if you see one of those and take a picture of it,

give it to Community Mechanical, you'll be in that contest as well. They're awesome, man. They give out 690 sit-ins if you end up getting a new HVAC system, but got to have them over. Dude, I know you don't know anything about H, and that's before we even get to VAC. So let's check out communitydfw.com and hit up Travis.

Communitydfw.com. I know a lot about AC. I like the idea of them, Will, the community people, Qualis, whoever else. Don't you love those scenes on The Wire where all the leaders get together and it's in a really kind of shitty hotel room, ballroom? Is that what you picture?

Yeah, and they're discussing the price. You've got Prop Joe. Yeah, String, and there's Barksdale. And there's pictures of water, but that's it. Yeah. string and like, there's Barksdale. And it's just always, there's like pictures of water, but that's it. Yeah. No one's touching them either. The Godfather had a similar type thing.

Yeah, I like that. That's, oh wow. In my mind, that's all those rooms are used for. Like, I don't really know what else they do, other than where you decide the price of a brick. So you want to go once? To their little meeting? I think that'd be nice.

I think they'd have us. I think that'd be very nice. I watched a Mavs game last night. Like, we'll give them some advice on business. Let me tell you guys how to. We know a little bit about taxes here. You got to file them quarterly. We know more than we used to, folks.

I'll tell you that. Way more. Sometimes you learn the hard way I Watch the Mads game last night The whole thing. I know you did you know what yeah, I did I wrote an article after the game. That's why I only want to say this I know I don't want to harp on Nico because I couldn't even read that whole Transcript we did a lot on it Tuesday. Mm-hmm that whole transcript. We did a lot on it Tuesday and talked to people who were in the room and all that kind of stuff. It all makes me sick, just what they're doing. I did want to just say this. Bring up Dirk's name again. How many bad bits are we going to throw on

this hole? The baddest bit of all, it was just trading him. Yeah, but just to say, Dirk's not, I'm worried about who's in the building, Dirk's not in the building. You just keep, to even invoke Dirk's name with a dusting of negativity around it somehow is blasphemy. How do you, you're the relationship guy. I hired him for the relationships he can develop. Like, John Daniels, not a wild party guy

either, right? You've seen him. He's kind of a stoic individual. Sure. You could liken him perhaps to a Niko mindset. I don't know. Analytical guy, you know, he's just when they wanted to move, when they said, I think I got this 19 year old shortstop who's ready for the big leagues, but our fan favorite is Michael Young. He's the current shortstop. You know what I'm going to have to do? I'm going to talk this out with Nolan Ryan. And we're going to sit down with Michael Young together, because I'm John Daniels. Right.

I'm not Nolan Ryan. But Nolan Ryan can help sell this to Michael Young, fan favorite. In fact, he'll help sell it to the fans as well. He at least had that thought of, I can't just go doing everything and saying, well, it's just about the team. And if we win in the long run, it's going to be fine.

And that was with Michael Young. No, that's a really good point. Who was nowhere near what Dirk is. Excuse me, what Luca is to the franchise. And Nolan Ryan, though, there's a Dirk statue, has everybody's respect. If Nolan Ryan signs off on this. So yeah, you know what?

You probably get with Dirk early. And you convinced Dirk that this is a good move. And your only reason you didn't was probably because you feared, well, Dirk will never understand. And that's it. Well, he could have done worse than just not understand. He could have thwarted it somehow. So.

Well, no, that wouldn't be worse, because in the long run, don't you need a- Well, worse for Nico, because he wanted to get this done. Why our Will needs some guys to bounce some stuff off of. He's Qalys. He's talking to guys at Community Mechanical. You're bouncing some things off. Don't just bounce things off Patrick Dumont, who

is not involved in basketball. Do it with people in the game who know the game. Yeah, and he's not really bouncing things off Patrick Dumont. He's not involved in basketball, do it with people in the game who know the game. Yeah, and he's not really bouncing things off Patrick Dumont. He's telling him and telling him it in a way that he understands it the way that he wants him to. But you're right. But whoever made the point, Kirk or Ben,

on Tuesday about the hero complex, that's what it is. And so you're trying to make sense of the way that he's responding to questions and answering things. You're trying to say, well, why isn't he doing this in this sensical way? But from the beginning of the thing, it's not a logic or sensical thing. It's an emotional, hero, inferiority,

insecurity type thing. So I think there's a way you could have answered that question and said, Dirk means the world to us and he always will. I have a great relationship with him. I do typically value his opinion. Some way, but just saying on this particular issue, it was something that I felt very passionate

and compelled about. We appreciate Dirk. There's a different way to say it, but he was never going to say it that way because the type of person that would say it, they would not have made the goddamn trade in the first place. The same person is crazy enough or aloof enough to not realize how things are going to go over in both cases. All right. Well, I'm done with that. That's... Well, I am not but i know

you're you're watching the game and the play a piece of audio i did not tune in i'm gonna make you uh... it hurts me that i have to root against them but i do i'm gonna make your head explode and we're gonna move off the maps i guess uh... this is from the broadcast last night pretty early on the matter locked in uh... that's not a tea i hate not a team you want to play This is from the broadcast last night pretty early on. The Mavs were locked in.

That's not a team you want to play. They play very hard, and they're big. Even without Kyrie, they're all over you defensively. Now, the Kings had a bucket of effort at all times right now. And Malik Monk is out. They traded Deere and Fox. So they were working them. Mm-hmm. So I don't know that might have been on me after we unplugged and plugged in Blake. So let's see

They're not playing. We have packed Dave for eight days. Their expectation is to win here tonight, to win in Memphis and to play OKC in the first round. Well, we this about Nico Harrison he is fearless. Dave Pash. And I like Dave Pash. I do too. I wanted to have a conversation about this but you want to hear any more? We know this about Nico Harrison he is fearless because he traded a player that obviously Maverick fans loved and will always love and Luka Donchich and continues to say that has no with that trade and that he feels defense with championship that's why we have Anthony Davis and not look at Donchich okay so

I don't I don't think that there's any sort of mandate from a league or from a network to say hey Can we let's just not spend three hours calling this guy a fucking dummy? Like we just we're not gonna do it. I don't know that there's an edict, but I do think in a production meeting Whether it's people above the actual broadcast or the broadcast They are talking about it in a way where they're like, we don't really want this to be that. We don't want it for three hours just be like, this guy's, this is the dumbest,

you shouldn't even watch this basketball game. How could you care about this team with this idiot involved? I feel like they're just trying to present like a, well, you know, he's sticking to his guns here, but the gun that I stuck to was the revolver that I chambered around in halfway through the first quarter last night when they were like,

treat him like he was fucking William Wallace. Yeah, I think. Like, what are we doing here? I think a non-opinion, you can just point out that, oh, there's Niko Harrison in the crowd, pulled the trigger on the biggest trade in NBA history, or whatever. But then, like, that's it.

You don't have to then kind of try to. Is this part of the story, though? don't have to then kind of is your pride of story though Do you have to pump him up a little because that's kind of what that it fearless? Yeah, I don't think that there's any kind of mandate Where hey you got to soften the blow on this and make him look good or at least present the other side even if We can all agree it does that really exist? even if we can all agree, does that really exist? But it's something you have to bring up. It's the play-in tournament now.

And from Pash's perspective, it could very well be a new audience. It's not just Mavericks fans at that point. It's a game that's on ESPN. You've got to talk about it. They were showing him a lot, too. I don't know that it was Dave's Pash's call but like here's Nico and hell when I see him on TV I'm still like oh shit. There he is

Look at this guy look at him because you don't even see him on TV every game anymore You know the Mavs broadcasters shit isn't showing him over in the tunnel, right? So when I see him I'm like fearless, but you're not in the seats That's the common I don't think you actually are fearless, are you sure? For sure, but I kind of get jarred when I see him. Like, that's the human being who did all this. So, the camera stayed with him for a very long time. So at some point, Dave Bash is like,

we gotta say something. And it's funny because, I'll play it for you. I'm gonna cut it off, but Tim Wagler, who I think is pretty good, he's like I don't know about all that but the Mavs are competing very hard inside like he just wanted so bad back to ball to be like dude there's a basketball game I don't know yeah no that's the way you should run it it is a basketball game and you know people are interested I don't like the play in overall I. I've now evaluated that. The SoFi play-in tournament?

Don't you hate it? You son of a B. Because. I just hate it because I don't know where to find the stats on basketball reference. I swear to God, that's the only part I don't like. I wanted to bring that up. It drives me crazy.

I wanted to bring that up. There are no stats. It's not regular season. It's not the playoffs. It's the taint. It's the taint of basketball. Yeah. That's great.

It's neither ash nor balls. Yeah. Oh my god. Wouldn't it be as fun if they called it the nithe? There are no stats, though. I don't know what the nithe is. Well, you said it's neither the at. Oh.

No one is doing that. No. That's what I'm saying. I mean, it's called taint, because you say it ain't. Yeah. I thought I did hear someone say, like, this is Anthony Davis's seventh play-in game. What? It's funny you say that.

I mean, they said last night that Jonas Velajudas is at nine. So he's the leader. The king of the play-in. But if you're telling me that AD's already at seven, he is a real threat for that. Yeah. Health would be the only thing holding him back. Yeah, I just.

From those dizzying heights. It's just that you play a whole season, and then you're like, well, a little. Like it's the 65th team in the NCAA. Like, come on. Yeah. When are we going to stop? Well, you know, they're in a tough spot.

It's a lot of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, but they're trying to fix a model that incentivizes your team being bad. They're doing everything they can to figure out a way for you to not intentionally lose 60 games. So to the degree that it's worked, I don't know. Well, and yeah, it's a little different because in this particular sport, as we found out,

I hate coming back to it, but one person can mean everything. You get one person, and that instantly makes you in the conversation to be a contender because you did draft Lebron. Now it's up to you to put the right pieces around him, but that's why you don't trade one of those guys. You just, you dream of it. You hope that you can get into that lottery and win that number and overall pick and have it be in a certain year when. Here's the thing, it's not just because they're the Kings and they had a chance to have the player who's that also.

It's not just because it's the Kings who are there with the Suns, who are ironically probably like the three worst outlooks. Three of the five or six worst outlooks for their team in the NBA, three of them are teams that decided they wanted quote out of the Luka business. But it's not even the Luka part of it when I watch the Kings.

When I watch the Kings, I'm like, oh God, this is what it's gonna be like. Like this is what it turns into. This is what the wilderness is. Where you're like, I guess I'm, is that Zac Levine, DeMar DeRozan, DeMar, like what the, who the, your team just turns,

cause you have no draft picks, right? As McMahon pressed Nico on in that meeting. You don't have any draft picks. All you really have draft picks, right? As McMahon pressed Nico on in that meeting, you don't have any draft picks. All you really have is money, right? Your owner ostensibly will spend as a top 10-ish team. So you just end up with guys who are 32 who score 18 points a game on inefficient shooting and make $30 million a year.

That's your team. So as the Adam Silver meme goes, the Mavs better get ready to learn play-in, buddy. Do you like the new NBA? The parody? I love it. I love it, man. I think it's cool.

The West this year, the West playoffs are going to be incredible. And it probably helps that the Thunder are a legit historical force, but no one takes them seriously. Is this thanks to LeBron? No, I think I never thought of that. Yeah. I never thought of it that way until you framed it like that,

but I would I would agree the player empowerment era where guys just jump team to team all the time and Yeah, I mean that's Free agency really did that allows All teams to kind of have hope Like it used to be how many years in a row was it the Cavs and Golden State? Because that's cool too. Yeah maybe I like this

more because I experienced that but I don't know this is pretty cool. But if you were the Mavs in the Golden State dynasty era there's no you never thought oh maybe this year we'll kind of sneak in. No. No, and then, I mean, heck, even during Dirk's prime, right? I mean, it felt like the Spurs and the Lakers were legitimately historic-type teams for a dozen years. But I like it. I'm excited for the playoffs to start. I think it's, I don't know, this has been the hot group chat

talk for me, the one you're not in, TC, deal with it. I think it would be very funny if the Mavericks advanced to the postseason and just got stomped by Oklahoma City four times, and it was embarrassing, and all the national talking heads. Yeah, I know. Well, what if they beat him even once, and the roller coaster would have to yank so far back?

But I'm trying to decide what's worse for Niko. A prolonged week of everyone just talking about how dumb it was as they lose by 30 points to Oklahoma City. But in that scenario, the owners get two home gate playoff games. So I don't love that. That's true. Because it's kind of anticlimactic to just lose to Ja Marant and the Grizzlies,

or no Ja Marant Grizzlies on Friday night. But I'll be watching. Do you think they will? I think they can beat the Grizzlies. I put the rest of my, the meager rest of my account on them last night. We're rolling Mav's money line till this thing falls off. There's no reason they should have been underdogs.

They got five last night. Anthony Davis is so far and away better than anybody out there. He didn't even have to play that great. It's not even close. Well, and that's why you would bet on a Luka team sometimes is like, well, who's got the best player what if series what if so now? Stay with me you got a guy

You know he's the best guy in the play-in game You're gonna ride with him I got another guy he'll be the best player in the finals and Like all throughout and he'll get you there He's never actually played in a play-in game though so I don't know which one you're more fired up about. But they're gonna say he wasn't the best player in the finals because he was out of shape. He was out of shape, he was hurt because he was out of shape, blah blah blah. Man I got really mad last night just watching of course Clay did what he does.

Of course dude Clay hit four threes in a matter of this and the game was over. And I'm like, yeah, that's why he's here. So that Derek Jones Jr. and PJ Washington can't take nine threes a game and make two. While the Celtics are like, fuck all this, we're just gonna make Luca beat a triple. That's why you go get Clay Thompson. That's why you go get Klay Thompson.

That's why you go get Najee Marshall. He can score inside, doesn't just have to shoot threes. Yeah, but you acquired Klay mostly because defense wins championships. That is rich. I love the Klay defense thing. That is... Like, I wish I didn't hate Anthony Davis

so much right now, but I do. I wish you didn't. He's collateral damage because... It slightly makes me uncomfortable. I kind of had thought, probably pre-Derek Lively, it was like, because remember when it was the thought when they even traded for Kyrie is he just wants to play with LeBron?

So what if they worked a trade revolving around Anthony Davis and Kyrie? The numbers might work. No, I would have considered it. We talked about that. For sure. That's one you have me talking. Now, I love Kyrie now.

Yeah, I know you do. You know what I love? Early bird CBD. We're doing early bird CBD right now. Let's go. I'm calling it check at the line. Let's go. What are you laughing at?

You keeping up with this Bill Belichick news, bud? Whoa, what? There's more? Reporting is nonstop. What's new? Oh, yes. The athletic. I am unaware.

She is running the program. Open records Oh, yes. The athletic. I am unaware. He is running the program. Open records request, Dan. The problem with your public university is they are subject to the foya. Maybe that's what your Chinese restaurant guy was saying that one time. Not a foya? He wasn't telling you he was starting for the Browns.

He was telling you there were some documents that he wanted unredacted. OK. And you were like, how do you do it? He was, foya. Foya. God. So stupid.

It's not. It is. So yeah, the athletic has a long article. We knew the detail about how she was asking his girlfriend, 23, 24, whatever, 25-year-old girlfriend, was asking to be copied on all correspondence sent to Bill and Michael Lombardi, which somehow is funnier to me than the idea of Bill Belichick talking to her. Oh, for sure.

So we had the video of him, of her at practice wearing crazy tar heel get up, like custom bedazzled. Like what if I achieve my dream and I got my 22 year old girlfriend. Your 22 year old goth. But she's. She's like I have to run all my shit through her on the show. Anything we all do. All the artwork.

Just see her on it. Why is that gonna hurt you Blake? By the way, that's twice now I've drank water with ice and I apologize for both of them. I'm trying to be better about it. I'm trying to be better about Blake. Just throw her on it. By the way, that's twice now I've drank water with ice and I apologize for both of them. I'm trying to be better about it, I'm trying to be better about that. Are you reading comments? Wolves. Stop, stop.

No, I'm trying to be better at broadcasting and that's a selfish thing for me to do. It's the hydro flask. Let it ride. Wolves. Let's do viewer mail today. I don't know, ask her. Wolves, wolves. See if we can fit it in our schedule.

It's not that different from that, dude, because the athletic has more details now. This is great. They have more emails. he'd bring her in the DZ RV oh absolutely hey what I mean I don't know what about just like this week in goth so Jordan his girlfriend is weighing in on a number of different things one of them that people sunk their teeth into is her descriptions for how Steve Belichick should be marketed. How he should be marketed.

Yeah. Yeah. We need to market Steve Belichick. That's right. First breaking news. OK. Hey, this is a big time program here. Yes.

UNC football. How are you going to present Steve Belichick to the world? Isn't it like a $72 million contract or something? Bill? What is it? Is it something crazy? Something, yeah. Two years? I don't remember. Oh, it's not that. Yeah, it's not a long-term deal. This is from her email. Five for fifty. Okay. But it's a big enough deal where they're going all out. Now, not all out in terms of the HBO's hard knock style show they were going to do, which his girlfriend got killed.

She says in her email quote, though, Steve Belichick is, in fact, Bill's son. He should be depicted and represented as his own established credible entity, as opposed to an extension of Bill. It can be easily misinterpreted that Steve is simply benefiting from nepotism, but that is not the case.

Steve was fortunate to have learned football strategy from the quote greatest defensive mind of all time. He has earned his position due to his performance and output. She said that they should avoid using visual prompts that could fuel accusations of nepotism. I believe by visual prompts she means showing them next to each other and clearly indicating they're the same family. It wouldn't be as hard if he had adopted Michael Orr.

So this is for all the... Ha ha ha! People would be like, just show them. This is for all the... Kind of a good look for us, honestly. So this is for the social media team? No, not even just that. No.

It'll be like the materials they show in the stadium. It'll be like pictures of the staff. It'll be all marketing material. A lot of it, I guess, now is social media. Where you line up for the team picture, don't put Steve next to Bill. Almost certainly. That'll be.

They'll be on opposite ends. Because I'll be next to Bill. Will she, that'll be... They'll be on opposite ends. Because I'll be next to Bill. Will she be in the official team? No question. That's a great question. You say no question? Yes. She doesn't even have an official title.

She can't be. She doesn't work for the program or the university. I want to be very clear. I thought she was going to find a way. I thought they pay her something. I'm sure they pay her. I swear I saw that she does not have an official position. I think you're right. I saw Stuart Mandel report that. But in any case. Okay so I like to think of, because I have a daughter who's early 20s, so I like to think

she's dating Bill Belichick. Would I be able to tell her some things that I think, this is the way I think Belichick should have run some things. And then she, like, is her dad actually instituting some of these rules? Like, because he's given her a little advice. Like, you know what? I don't think you guys should do hard knocks. That just doesn't feel like Belichick to me. Well, I'll be, listen. All right, I'll cancel it. So the first, my first thought is no way Bill Belichick has it all figured out or at least thinks he does.

He don't listen to shit from no one. However, we're learning that he may be more receptive to information if tied to a 22-year-old piece of ass. Right. So if you in fact had that, and instead of your daughter being like, we should change the uniforms to this, and we should change the marketing to this, she was like, just play three safeties every now and then.

Flee flicker. Flee flicker. You need one set of drive. Base off it. Never punt. Yeah. I mean, who knows? Maybe, right?

Isn't this what much of history is about? Like some duplicitous smart woman who little pillow talk and brought down an empire? Yeah, the Jezebel of North Carolina. She is listed as the chief operating officer, COO, of Belichick Productions in emails. So that's not a real job. The athletic was unable to find a business listing

for Belichick Productions. Belichick Productions. Are you telling me it's not an actual LLC? You might have that, but that's probably about it. All right, so we went over the nepotism stuff. She continues on that. It's really worth emphasizing the point that Steve has the experience of being a college,

all caps, defensive coordinator. And he'll bring a plethora of knowledge to the coaching staff. She all capsed it. She all capsed college. Can I tell you, I don't know if this is still the case. This woman's a lot younger than I am. There are a few words. Don't ask me for more than this one at the time.

But when I hear them them I'm like, oh that's probably a white woman who got a degree at a four year university and thinks she's smart. That word is plethora. White woman, oh my God, oh it was just a plethora. They use it, the scope is too wide for it, plethora. They take plethora over myriad. Yes, yeah, yeah.

Plethora is the play. If you're in sports media, you do myriad. If you're in a sorority, you do plethora. If you went to Rowan, you got a four-year universe. Oh my god. Nightmare stories. I believe being strategic. Back to Jordan.

I believe being strategic about the depiction of Steve will prevent controversy and show utmost respect. Not utmost, she spelled it. Ups most respect towards Steve's career, validate Bill's decision to hire Steve. Ups most. She's tried to trademark a like, a bunch of his Patriots words.

Mm-hmm. What, do your job? I can't think of a Patriot way. There was, so a bunch of them were, like, do your job is one of them. I'm trying to think of an. Because it says here that she was, that she trademarked the Belichick

Way, the Belistrator. No way. The Tsar of the Belistrator. Yes. Fantastic. Chapel Bill. Love it. All right.

And Chapel Bill Bill's version. Oh my god. Like Taylor Swift when she recorded it. They capitalize on Taylor. That's great. In a normal world, this is all we're talking about. The greatest coach of the greatest sport this country has to offer.

It's so perfect. Is being led around by his wiener. I would have. What was she doing in that video? You'd have never had this. Seriously, a Luka trade or this, what would you have had in the cart, like if I said, one of those things will happen in two years?

Well, if you'd asked me a couple years ago, I probably would have taken Belichick, because we were kind of down the path. But if you had asked me in 2010, like, hey, there's going to be this guy. He's going to be all NBA five years in a row. He gets traded. Or Bill Belichick gets wrecked by Poon.

I would have been like, well, NBA players get traded, so that seems more likely to me. Is this happening if he got the Atlanta job last year? No. Is she out of his life? Yeah, probably. Because did they start dating after he was rejected by the rest of the NFL?

I think it was like during the time, if I recall correctly. Because he would have been back in, spending 18 hours a day there. But instead they gave him some free time and all of a sudden this girl finds him. How did they meet? Did they say in that article? On a plane, right? Yeah, on the airplane. They sat next to each other and she was just so damn smart.

Yeah, and she's like, I'm into business. And he's like, I'd like to be your mentor. And they kept a judge with their fingers. I do know what you're saying. Yeah. I know how to keep in touch with fingers. I got a couple things. I'm saying. I do know what you're saying. Yeah. I know how to keep in touch with fingers. I got a couple things.

I watched the Greg Maddux documentary, and I looked at some one-day contracts for you. So think about which one of those you want while we kind of follow up on Fitness Pact. Ooh. Isn't that the app that you have me load up? It is. Fitness Pact is an app. It's in the app store. The store for apps. And it's here to help you track your fitness with regular check-ins. And the point of this one is the pact. You partner up with your friends.

You come up with a challenge. So you could do running. You could do mall or like Lowe's walks, hypothetically, if you're a psychopath. How about just outdoors? Steps. Outdoors. Yeah, I'm trying to look at my steps for today. I took a little walk this morning.

But everybody knows that you're going to be more accountable if you've got buddies and you've got skin in the game. Fitness pack helps you do that. This is just science. It's just science So how we doing on steps for the last week Dan? I have to double you up. You're probably destroying me I know I'm destroying you but I Handicapped the game. I'm like mid six thousands. Oh, okay 6500 oh he laughed at you if the deal is me doubling you up, you lose. Really?

I didn't get to $20,000, but I did double you up and then some. Okay. You know what that means? It means I'm going to have to watch an Ernest movie. That means this weekend, Dan will be watching either Ernest Scared Straight or Ernest Goes to Africa. Yeah. I got a, I was looking at the preview for earnest goes to Africa

Pretty racist What a surprise looks a bit racist. Yeah, it's a piece of its time So fitness packs so fit because of this fitness pack app you got me on yeah, you lost it We're doing I'm gonna have to watch a pretty racist movie most people says I lost Let me tell you something most people when they engage with fitness Pack, they download the app, they get in with their friends, they are motivated to achieve their dreams and their goals. That's what happens. I got two days left in this week though. Okay. If I just walk like 80,000 steps a day. Get on it. Go download the app at fitnesspack.com. Learn more at fitnesspack.com. So Tyron Smith. Mm-hmm.

One day contract. And Jake called me this morning. He's like, did you ever do the bit you talked about? Which was, who was it? Doug Free? Someone? TC might remember, but there was Doug. To me, like Doug Free, Phil Costa.

Mark Colombo is the one that maybe Mark Colombo. Made me laugh more than any of them. That was it. Because Jerry gets out and sorry, I don't mean to steal the thunder, but no, go ahead. Jerry gets up there and presents both jerseys, one in the blue, one in the white. I don't remember that at all.

Like I remember. God, I guess all I remember is that he actually signed a one day contract, and I thought that was ridiculous. No, yeah, he retired. That's definitely it. This is the start of this bit. The bastardization of the one day contract to where, I mean, Mark Colombo was a nice dude and all, but that's insane.

And the reason I bring this up is because Dan once educated me on Losh, Lush. Jungle Gym Loskitov, that was a study I did when I first moved to Dallas and was seeing Brad Davis' number hanging in the rafters, and I thought, Brad Davis? So I went, like, who is that, first of all?

Yeah, you grew up in another city. So if you heard of him at all, you're like, what? Basketballreference.com. And you look at his stats, you're like, in fact, can we do it? He averaged like 10 points a game. Yeah. Oh, but he was a point guard. Oh, okay.

Yeah. He had like six assists like like it was such a floor general though well apparently he was white oh okay and a fan favorite and they needed something eight points two rebounds and five assists five assists for the starting point guard while shooting who 32% from three don't quote his three numbers. They retired his number. Different era.

They retired like no one else. Well, look, all their babies died when they were young. Stupid. No one else will wear. Times change, man. Yeah, Brad Davis is famed. Whatever number. Right.

I don't even know. Career year. Anyway, so then that's easy to find, though. You could find every team's retired numbers. Yeah. And then go ahead and put in the stats. And I found there was only one player with objectively worse stats than Brad Davis.

And his name is Jim Losketoff. Oddly enough. Also. Well, no. Not oddly that he was white, but it was oddly enough that he was on the Celtics during their run of being in the championship game if not winning it 15 years in a row. Right? So back in the 60s or the 50s or whatever, but apparently he was just a fan favorite. And you're thinking, gosh, if you join the Yankees, it's going

to be tough to get your number. If you're on the Celtics. How? The bar is raised to, you gotta be better than Larry Burt. No, Jim Losketoff got in early. I would imagine if he played for the Celtics in this day and age and was a fan favorite. Peyton Pritchard or something.

Yeah, who was the custodian? Brian Cardinal. Yes sure. That's what it makes me think that yeah in the day where you weren't allowed to have free agency and guys didn't move around if Brian Cardinal was a MAV for 15 years and part of a bunch of great teams like all right let's retire his number too. Yeah anyway That's a different bit though. It's very hard to find Every player who has signed a one-day contract in the NFL because apparently it's happening all the time. I'm looking at I Just wanted to start with like let me start with the Browns and Apparently they just had two guys sign one day contracts.

Johnny? Richard Higgins. What? Hollywood Higgins. And Christian Kirksey. Wow. Linebacker? Joe Hayden recently did as well, but Joe Hayden.

I could see Joe Hayden. You go to a Browns game. Joe Hayden was the guy. That was one of the most prevalent jerseys we saw at the Browns game when we went this year. But yeah, so apparently if you just call your team and be like, hey, it'd be really cool. So it's very difficult to find, but I did find,

I looked at a couple of lists. Can I just say something real quick? Yeah. I don't know if this is possible, but I feel like it would be really funny if we tried. I think we need to contact Ben Denucci. And similar to a Heisman campaign, we need to put the dumb zone behind a campaign to get Ben Denucci to retire at California.

See if Jerry would do it. Dude, I mean, it's just like saying Romo might end up in the Hall of Fame because of the broadcasting. Danucci has the hat. Who's had a bigger impact? Him or Christian Kirksey? Right.

He got the submarine throw. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Anyways. So I did find somebody on Reddit who had put together a list of baseball players who have signed one-day contracts and I think the one-day contract seems to be, well it's got to be, it's a current thing right? You don't, this wasn't done in the 70s and 80s. No player movement. There

wasn't enough players. Yeah. So, you know, there's a lot of names on here that I guess make sense. Lance Berkman. Yeah. With the Astros. No, Nomar Garcia-Para. Yeah. Vlad Guerrero. Went and signed one with the Angels. Roy Oswalt. With the Astros. Some, Frank Frank Thomas Jim Tomei some look a little weird oh Pudge Pudge signed a one-day contract with the Rangers somewhere a little weird I thought as I look through this list

you're like Mike Sweeney Royals? Didn't really make sense to me, but then I looked at it. War 24.8. Was with the Royals for 13 years. Went to Oakland for one, Seattle for two, Philly for one, and then signed a one-day contract. That makes sense.

Yeah. You were a 13-year veteran. Yeah. Carlos Peña's I found was weird 25.5 war remember he started with the Rangers that was one of the Rangers missteps He signed a one-day contract with the Rays But that was the very middle of his career and probably just where he found success. He was with Texas, Oakland, Detroit, Boston, Tampa Bay, then the Cubs, Houston, Kansas City,

and then back to Texas. And he ends up signing a one-day contract with the Rays who were his, what, fifth team? Yeah, that is a little bit weird. Like, you know, when I was when I was just thinking of it, he's probably not good enough but like Nelson Cruz I think identifies as a mariner he signed a one-day contract with the man. Did he really? Absolutely. Okay maybe that's why I was thinking that. He absolutely did. That's so so weird man so weird I barely remember that. Did he have one year he mashed in Baltimore and that was the deal or? Minnesota he did. Minnesota, okay. Yeah. Chone Figgins, that one stood out to me like really?

Anaheim, he was on the Angels for eight years, went to Seattle for three, the Dodgers for one, and then signed a one-day contract. 22 contract 22 war so okay. He was doing something. Yeah Those teams were good, too Brad Lidge stood out to me Brad Lidge Now he was a closer. So that's gonna you're not gonna have a great war. It's seven point eight But he started with Houston went to Philly Then Washington and then signed a one-day contract with Philly.

Okay, maybe that's where he first started having real success as a closer. Never led the league in saves, but, you know, was in there in the 30s and 40s for saves. And the one that I have come up with as the worst, the Jim Losketoff of one day contracts, in baseball at least. Ryan Vogelsong. What? Who? Who played for the Giants for seven years.

Oh yes. Then he went to Pittsburgh and played for six years. Oh, yes. Then he went to Pittsburgh and played for six years. And in those 13 years. Was able to compile a war of one point two. You're almost on pace, right? Point one a year. Just like you get away. Barely above a minor league player. Right.

That or a replacement above is above.? Yeah. Or a replacement level player. Above is above. That's crazy. I don't know. I mean, you know what this is. Just like with Jungle Jim or Brad Davis, this just tells you how much we don't know about how guys are thought of in other cities. You know what I mean?

Absolutely. It's just a matter of like, oh, Ryan Vogel's song was probably on a popular camera commercial for 12 years and had a cool song or something. Did charity work? Of course. Yeah. That's got to, but I do love the guys who are half and half.

And then like, what do I pick? Spin the wheel. Arbitrary decision. I'm trying to think of, Colombo's got to be the lowest one. Cowboy? Yeah, like what's going on with Jalen Smith? Did he ever officially retire?

Because he seems like the perfect candidate. He does. I'm seeing that like, I don't recall DeMarcus Ware doing it, but he did. That makes sense. And Tyron Smith makes sense. Especially that he left for that one... The whole thing though, why? What are we doing?

Get to say nice things about people while they're still alive. And I wonder if the agent has ever called the team... Like you said, let's try to get to new chi Has the agent ever called the team and then they say no That's gonna do this for you God be great like really you punted for us for three years Yeah, but my I had a kid in Dallas and all this okay, are you guys guys gonna be there for Aubrey's one day contract signing? He's never going to retire. And he's never going to not be a Dallas Cowboy.

Yeah. So. Why would you do that? Why don't you just- I'm not saying it's anytime soon. Why don't you just say- Did they say Gluka from us? Why don't you say Dirk sucks too?

Is what they say. All right. Commercials. So Greg Maddux, One of a Kind is a documentary that apparently was out about 15 years ago. And somehow I've, it just came out like last summer, and I couldn't find it. No.

It was on MLB TV or something. MLB has an extremely whack ass online. They're good for games, actually. But if you want to watch something MLB Network produced and you pay for the games, you can't watch it. Do you end up seeing this or no? No, I do. OK.

OK. Well, Blake found it for us. Actually, I want to credit Blake, because he did put it in the Dropbox for us to watch. And then someone else emailed me a link this past weekend. And that's probably the one i used okay so i apologize but it's the same one i went to the dropout of the ability to make sure

cock yeah uh... but i had just because i woke up you know some nights i can't sleep so i woke up at four i couldn't get back sleep some like you know what while i'm laying here while i just do a little something for the show that's a great matter to the You know, after waking her up and drilling her. God.

So, Greg Maddux, I just remember he was great, but I didn't really remember how great I guess. Are you guys Greg Maddux guys? I mean, are you familiar with? Yeah, yeah. Oh no, for sure. I wore 31 in Little League because he was my favorite player. Nice. And what do you really think of when you think of Greg Maddux? Location.

Control. Yeah. Like that. His brain. He's going to outsmart you. Yeah. There's nothing you can do about it. He didn't look intimidating.

He looked like your dad. I mean, he could throw glasses. I mean, come on. He could throw 90, but not much more than that ever. High 90s, yeah. He wasn't like Randy Johnson. He wasn't blowing anything by you. He was like the, well, he was like what

you would say the pitcher would be once they turned 34 and they didn't have their stuff anymore. He learned how to pitch. But he was like that when he was 22. Right. It's not completely comparable, and I was not like the biggest baseball guy, but it's kind of like Steph Curry in basketball, where you look at it and you're like, okay, well, LeBron's doing definite no.

But Steph Curry, you know, that's not like superhuman. He can just, he just knows where to put the ball. Yeah. And with Greg Maddox, it's like, it's like you could almost see yourself as being Steph Curry unfortunately yes I could you know you could like point yeah I could squint and and be that guy I could squint and be Greg Maddux. And then I would see like Randy Johnson right and it just looked like a I'm like that's not in the cards right but yes and I was really into baseball when

Greg Maddux hit the scene. Yet watching this documentary made me realize I was really into American League baseball. Because I didn't really have a. So were you not getting hammered with Turner? You had to have some level of cable by that point, didn't you? OK.

Was very into Greg Maddux as a brave. OK. Didn't really have a memory of him as a Cub at all. Yeah, OK. Same here. Like, at all. Yet, that's who he came up with. Came up with the Cubs in the mid-'80s.

And. Retired a Cub. Ended up retiring. Oh, really? No. Okay. One day contract. He actually, actually, he did go back to play for the Cubs right after the Braves and thought,

I'm going to retire a Cub. Huh. And he said that in the documentary. I thought that would be cool. Like when he left there and went back, they booed him. But he ended up like kind of hanging on. He admits too long. He pitched into his 40s when he was less effective. I don't know if they ever tried turning him into a closer but I kind of think that that would be a great place for a Greg Maddux at the age of 40. That's

really weird. I mean I guess if it works it works. It's just so Antithetical to what you think of out of the bullpen as a closer. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, I don't think Dennis Eckersley was firing it at 98 But he was you know in the later part of his career and that's when he was really good as a closer Lot of story a lot of guys just, you know, like legendary tales about Greg Maddux. Like, they can't believe. So let me start with a piece of audio. This one is actually the longest cut I have.

We can stop it and pause it and start it again. This is a couple minutes long, but it is an early career story and it kind of just tells you, like it illustrates what kind of player Greg Maddox was. So he was a second round draft pick, so it wasn't like he came out of nowhere. He was a good player. But he was struggling early career, didn't go to college, drafted out of high school, made his way up through the minors, got called up to the Cubs, but was getting battered around a little bit, sent back down for a little bit, comes back up, getting battered around, things aren't going that well. You really need the respect of your teammates.

I wasn't pitching good enough to get any respect from them, but I was able to do something that, you know, maybe I got a little bit of respect from my teammates. Greg Maddux was pitching that day. This is Rick Sutcliffe, who I didn't realize had any influence or knew Greg Maddux at all. Former Cub. Former Cub, yeah. And he'd been told before the game

that if he doesn't win, he's going back to the minor leagues. I remember Eric Schaue was pitching and hit Andre right in the face. Whoa! Whoa! Hit by a pitch ball. They're talking Andre Dawson. Hit by a pitch ball. Is that Kerry Andre Dawson. Hit by a pitch ball.

Is that Kerry? He was our main guy. Is that Harry Kerry? I remember him laying right there on home plate, kind of knocked out, and then he came too. And you know, spit a bunch of blood on the plate, and then he started looking for Eric Schaal. He gets up and he's running around the field looking for the pitcher. Like he got hit right in the jaw. Like Andre Dawson was one of the most feared hitters and he might have been MVP that year but it was a during the collusion era if you know what that is where major league baseball owners Decided they are not going to overpay for free agents

And andre dawson was the best hitter in baseball He played for the expos Nobody would offer him a multi-year deal So he took like a real low deal just to leave The expos and go play for the Cubs. Like he took like a one year, one million dollars, something low to play for the Cubs. And he was awesome, like he was just pissed.

But he was like the most feared hitter in baseball, huge. And just that pitch that hit him in the face, man, it was brutal. What will be interesting, Harry, is when Greg Mannix goes out, what he will do. They can kick him out of the ball game now. And it's a dilemma because it's a four to two game. They gave warnings to both sides, you know. And I said, hey, here's what you're doing. You're gonna go get three outs, you're gonna get the win,

and in the sixth inning, you do whatever you want. And he looked at me and he went, no. He goes, I'm hitting the first guy. I said, if you don't go get three outs, they're going to send you the minor leagues. And with tears in his eyes, he said, I don't care if I ever get another win. And I'm getting goosebumps right now. I could still see his face. Now we'll see what Greg Maddix does. Santiago is hit by a pitch.

He hit him. He got sent down to the minors and I think he had the minimum 15 days or whatever it was. He was back in the big leagues and he never saw that minor league bust again after that. I certainly would have lost a ton of respect if I didn't hit anybody. That was way more valuable than any win I could have ever gotten. So what Greg Maddux might have lost today in the long run might have helped him as far as the view his teammates held toward him. I don't know what it meant to everybody, but I know what it meant to Andre Dawson.

And there was a day, Greg Maddux was pitching against Nolan Ryan. And a couple of our big boys weren't in the lineup. OK, this is like, you ever hear the Randy Johnson flu? Yeah, you just batting average. Left-handers would, well, left-handers, the manager might take you out of lineup. Right. Right-handers might also say, I'll take my day off now.

And that's what it was like with Nolan Ryan in the mid 80s. So if Nolan Ryan was pitching it like, you know what, if I got I'm gonna take one day off this week I'll take today off. So a bunch of the Cubs players that was the bit and Andre Dawson saw the lineup. Hawk grabbed the Sharpie and wrote their names in the lineup. Oh that's pretty cool. I didn't realize that happened. Everybody in the clubhouse knew that Hawk was just trying to do something to repay Greg for standing up for him. So it was Greg Maddux versus Nolan Ryan one day

in the future. I think that's an incredible sports story. I do too. Even if just kind of true, that's awesome. Especially because he's not diminutive, but I feel like he's not a jock. Greg Maddux?

Yeah. No, they called him the professor. So having to, you know, earn that sort of, that sort of respect, however you can, is cool. I wish it didn't have to come with just throwing a baseball at someone in the game. So, it's so stupid, but so by the really cool story by the time he becomes a free agent He is offered a ton of money to go to the Yankees He actually takes less to go to the Braves. He wanted to stay in the National League

Maybe this is how smart he is You get that picture time up That's gonna be better for your eRA. That's he he said it was you know, he knew the league You know, he kept mental notes on everything and you know He just he just felt like it was more important to stay in the National League So even though he got money whipped by the Yankees He ended up going to the Braves made me a little nostalgic for those days in that and

It's part of my even thinking that I didn't really know a lot about Greg Maddux made me a little nostalgic for those days in that, and it's part of my even thinking that I didn't really know a lot about Greg Maddux before he was on with the Braves all the time. Was it a better day when the leagues were separated? It's at least a, and more, it's very interesting that Greg Maddux would never face the Yankees at all, unless it was the World Series. And he just didn't know any players from the American League and didn't feel like he could

be, you know, that effective. When he did sign with the Braves, they already had Glavine and Smoltz. They were already a playoff team and now they add Greg Maddux and they win the World Series year one that he's with them they went into they interviewed him and Barry Bonds separately and they gave they did the bit where I think we started this with the last dance where they would give them an iPad yes and they get to watch a particular at bat. And then they both make comments on the at bat.

That's very cool. And then they go back and forth between them. It is really, really cool because it just shows their mind. These are the best at their respective positions going at each other. And they have legendary battles and I don't know it's it's it's a very very cool watch he would call his own pitches I didn't cut off the audio but it is interesting with secret signs to the catcher and nobody

knew about it until he retired which I find very odd that other catchers who had worked with him didn't spill the beans on that to the rest of the league, but they didn't. Maybe that's a little bond. Yeah, a pitcher-catcher bond, even if you go to another team. That's cool. You wouldn't do it. Which is a little ironic because one of his catchers, Eddie Perez, said that when he was facing, they were facing the Phillies and Mike Maddux was pitching. Greg Maddux gave him a tip that he hit a home run off of Mike Maddux. That's my family.

Again, maybe that's just a catcher-pitcher thing. He only told the catcher that tip. He didn't tell it to the whole team. But he would have secret signs to the catcher where he was... It's like pool or chess, obviously, is what you want to set things up for the future. So he's already got the whole app bad in his head. And depending on how he threw that pitch, would dictate what the

next pitch is going to be so when the next pitch when the catcher threw the ball back to him if he caught it and like hit it against the left side of his head it'd be a curveball or if he if he then touched his right leg it'd be a down and like it was just they had this intricate set of signs that the catcher never gave a sign Greg Maddux would only give the signs. Yeah that's crazy. What do you think he'd think of the pitch calm? You get to just plug it into a robot, call the pitch for you. So here is Eddie Perez actually. The catcher. His catcher with a story about setting things up for the future.

We were regular season and we were winning like 8-0. It was easy game in the eighth inning. And he told me don't throw anything inside on by world. Call everything outside. I said okay. I think it was somebody odd and he wants to go inside and I okay you know it's new game so I went inside called inside and by well here like a thousand mile and I was mad and I was like what are you doing and he goes they got a good team we got a good team we're to play them in the playoff. He's going to wait for that pitch. 30 months later, we're in the playoff, bases loaded,

and the 7th, we threw three straight changes and struck him out. Speed, straight, and straight. And I was walking to the other guy. He goes, hey. And I look at him. He said, you remember? Three months ago, two months ago?

And I said, no, I don't. He was looking for that pitch, the homer they hit. And I was like, this guy. It's how smart he was. Didn't RFK give a wild press conference yesterday about how there are no more baseball players because everyone's autistic now. Which, of course, anyone who'd played baseball

was responding to that like, I don't think you've ever been around baseball, bud. Oh, there. OK, I didn't. I saw stuff on Twitter regarding RFK and baseball, but I didn't know why. That's why baseball died. It's like, listen, baseball is not dying because of autism.

Baseball is only still alive because of autism. Yeah, you think Cliff Lee wasn't autistic? Some nine-year-old out there with a 40-page notebook, like, boop, boop, boop. Is that Crinky with like a word? I mean, he's the common one, but dude, it's baseball. Come on. One more story, legendary story.

This is from Chipper Jones, who was the third baseman of the Braves. Kim Smith. It was a regular season game. Now here's Gonzalez he's got two runners on here. And Bobby sent Leo out to tell Maddox that he wanted to walk Gonzalez. Louis Gonzalez hit Maddox pretty good. Doggie's like nope I'm gonna do it. He goes, what, what? He goes, give me two pitches.

I think I can pop him up to third base. He goes, I'm gonna throw him a change up down and away, first pitch, then I'm gonna throw him a cutter, middle end, and he's gonna hit a pop up, a chipper, and we're gonna get out of this thing. Leo just kind of looks at him, and he looks at the rest of us, and he goes, okay. And he turns around and he walks back to the dugout.

And I mean, you can hear Bobby's just, he's pissed, you know? So sure enough, he throws them chains up down our way, ball one, cut her in. Got under this one a little bit, pops it down the left field line. And I'm standing underneath the pop-up just thinking you have got to be kidding me. Caught it, inning over. Bobby and I look at each other and went unbelievable. How does this also somehow make be Miss Luca? Just yeah it's because it's not the coach. It's sports genius. It's yeah it's

never the coach. It's the coach is gonna tell you hey I think you should do this you're gonna go no yeah I'm gonna do this and the coach in the end a good coach yeah we'll probably say all right I mean welcome to Dan McGow's TED talk. But you take a look at his numbers too though. Take a look at his numbers and just how he, you know, the best way to look at anyone is to judge them against the peers in their era, right? And he would lead the league in innings pitched year

after year, lead the leagueingen starts. ERA. He won, what was it, four straight Cy Youngs once he won that one. Oh, actually the last year that's that he he tells a story if you want Dan McDowell's TED talk of negotiating his contract with the Cubs. So he wanted to get an extension with the Cubs and it was the last year of his contract with them and He wanted a certain amount of money and they're like You know you have him like won the Cy Young yet You haven't won 20 games and you're asking for this kind of money

so that year He won 20 games for the first time and he won the Cy Young And then after the season, went back and they wouldn't budge from their initial contract offer. And that's when he's like, well, alright, you're forcing me into playing the free agent game. And yeah, that's when he went to the Braves and then won three more Cy Youngs in a row. Incredible story. Great documentary. I think you guys would love it. You're going to love it, Janks, especially you.

I'm going to get some food. Oh, OK. Well, then I'm going to. Oh, well, we're taking a break. I'm going to do this. There are times in life I'm going to do this then. Ahhhhhhhhhh. The Ducks!

Oh, can I use your juice?

Hit me. Let's see if it actually works. Everything is gonna home No home Speaking of that it's your wire For no other reason that I'm curious about it. Like how long is your hair ever been? Me yeah Naughty Ben Franklin Not as a little kid. You mean my mom was a hippie and 20

and older like a little girl 20 and older like when you had control of it was Ben Franklin the longest probably around there yeah I never got to Corby level I've just always wanted like do I have I just want to try it what would I look like just keep growing your hair I think you should do it are you watching gemstones is that that why? No Related to this you just said can I get some juice? I've also been thinking about trying steroids Interesting like legit the type of stuff. I wanted when I was 17 or 18, but couldn't get Now I can

Now like adult medium money and I'm like, what if I just did it did a cycle? Who was the guy in Colleyville that was helping the baseball players? Mr. Mike or something? Yeah, there was a store. Yeah, there's a couple of those guys. What if he's still operating? If you could hit him up. I do play on a flag football team of like 20 something.

So I feel like, well, this is kind of like Joe Buck addicted to hairplugs. Got to have something like Jose Canseco was still like really into steroids after playing baseball. Like he was still into it. Like I could see doing it because it could lead you to a big contract and all that kind of stuff. I just want to see but you're right. Like could you bulk up? As a guy who's kind of a known addict it might not be the best idea for me to be like, yeah, what if I found an intravenous drug? Can you pill it?

Just to see. Yeah, kind of. It's not as. Hey, is Ozempic? Is that a? They're making a pill. I was gonna say, I saw a thing this morning that said they're gonna have a weight loss pill.

I go, don't we already have one? Is Ozempic, that's a needle? No, it's a needle. Yeah, it's a shot. Damn. Get that bad boy right out the fridge. Yeah. But let me tell you this though.

Can't do a nasal spray? Just to protect my honor, the shot, the Ozempic shot, is a pinprick. That's not like the shots I was having to administer on the daily. That needle was. You just want Clayton to administer on the daily. That needle was... You just want Clayton to know that what you went through is a bigger deal. Well, I've seen both needles and I'm telling you, one of them looks like a pinprick.

I heard the... What's the one giant long needle that you have to stick in your stomach? The epidural? The epidural. Oh. That's in your spine. No, the stomach one for rabies, right? Or isn't there something?

Oh, like a 1923? Yeah, we're getting tetanus type. Is it that? stomach one for rabies, right? Or isn't there something? Oh, like a 1923? Tetanus type? Is it that? I don't know. Where were you going? Clayton says Tetanus is in the ass. I was just going with that's a big needle.

No. Okay. Yeah, yeah, for sure, huge. Were you ever scared of the dentist needle when you were a kid? Never dealt with it. A kid? You've never had a...

Current? Yeah. You've never had a cavity? That thing sucks. Not to my knowledge, no. Okay. Well, as a kid I would get cavities all the time. Again, hippie mom, I'm not sure.

I never, I never flossed until I was out of college. I don't think many kids were flossing, dude. Back in the day? Now. I don't know. I think now it's kind of like you're being yelled at to do it all the time. Or at least my kids were. Maybe at a certain age.

We're not there yet. No, we are not. We're fighting to get the teeth brushed. Well, I think there's certain people that don't really need to brush their teeth. They won't get cavities anyway. Maybe you're one of them. Well, no.

I just brush my teeth two to three times a day. And lo and behold, I don't. I have a friend who didn't brush his teeth regularly for years and humbly admitted that that did, in the end, have a bill that came due, figuratively or otherwise. Yeah, TC's teeth story is great. He learned a lot from it. Anyways.

Where were we? Why were we saying all this stuff? I don't know. We could do some viewer mail or something. Oh, OK. Let's see here. Oh, yeah, wait a minute. I have an inbox full of questions for Ted. And they didn't even know he was coming on.

People just email me like, hey, if you see Ted, why? That didn't happen. We're going to be funny. We're potentially doing a bit at the end of the show, too. We brought Ted here, and we need to use his beautiful announcer voice. Here at Bear Creek Golf Club. Okay, so I have a couple things that I have to make sure I get to this week.

We got a twofer from our business lawyer, Dustin. Really? So he said, do you remember we were talking a couple weeks ago about burning, or last week about burning drugs? Absolutely. And how I don't even remember how that came up but you had been to one like a police department that invited out the local reporter. So they could see us destroy

all the drugs that were in the evidence. So Dustin says my dad actually works at a company whose job it is to collect the drugs and then dispose of them chemically. Most still get rid of things by incineration, but a lot of those are shutting down for some reason. It is a shit ton of work to get approved as a company to actually take the drugs, so most try and destroy on site to avoid the hurdles. But one thing that was interesting,

you know who has a shit ton of drugs and really no good way to get rid of them? Airports. DFW airport, he said, is just full of drugs at all times. Because there's not like a quick way for them to move it. So they have, there's some room at the airport full of drugs? There's room full of dope at the airport, yeah. I bet somebody could give us more information on that, too.

Someone that's been in that room. I think of the Terminal and Tom Hanks and Isforgot. Have you ever saw that? Never did. No? OK. Sorry. Never mind.

But that was a killer reference, probably. Thank you. Thumbs up, Clayton. He also says, and I should have confirmed this earlier, but yesterday we were playing you some audio in the kids content corner From Did this delete no from Santa buddies where there's a dog that talks a little different than the other dogs. Yeah. Oh This is plugged in I'm never gonna get this right Blake. just, when we're on remote, it's always gonna be weird. No one believes in Christmas spirit anymore.

That's why I'm here, to learn how to be an ordinary pup. Well, you found the right dog to school ya. Come on, I'll show you my crib. Into the Boogaloo Jaw Drop, to the tail rotation, for the B-Dawg Nation. Yeah, way to break those moves. Yeah, I know. I'm the best.

Let's see you give it a shot, player. That actor right there. Player? The dog who's speaking with Nibonics. That is the voice of Gideon Gemstone. Oh, wow. Who did that when he was a little kid. Damn.

Oh. He did it as a little kid. Yeah like him. When he was a little kid. Damn. Oh. He did it as a little kid. Yeah, I mean he was, let's see, that was 2009. Wow. Oh, okay, I thought that was a current show you were watching. No, no.

No, he was 12 or 13 and they had him doing. Hey, player. How did you know that? Did you just see his name on the credits or something? No, our business lawyer Dustin Oh, okay. Who tells us how to burn drugs also hit me with that one. Wow. I have a, this is a, this is a controversial email, okay. Now there's an image that I'm going to show you with it. This is a man named Jason. So if you recall when we were at the Alamo and we were commenting on how boring the Alamo

is, I suggested that there's an opportunity for paintball. But the opportunity would be themed. So if you went to go play paintball at the Alamo, a couple hundred guys at a time, you could choose to be the Mexicans if you wanted. You don't necessarily win though, right? No. You don't have to. Paintball reenactment.

Oh, okay. Well, I mean, it could turn out different. Yeah, it could be, right. So this guy said, in reference to Jake's Alamo paintball story, and could you be on the Mexican side, there's a place in Sanger called D14 airsoft Indians nice very nice that was fantastic Dane Evans Tulsa great player in college he says it's airsoft not paintball but still fun anyways me and my friends went out there for an event.

We dressed up as terrorists. Someone is shooting. Oh no. Where did I put it? I know it's in the Day of Air folder. But it's exactly what... Yeah, yeah. I saw it.

Okay, yeah. I saw the email. AK-47. Yeah. And so he said, I always wondered how they wear these long-sleeved robe things. But I got to say, this is one of the most comfortable things I've ever worn. After buying a Thobe, which is the actual name of it,

as I was informed by a very nice Middle Eastern salesman, they're super comfortable. He said, I wear it inside a very nice Middle Eastern salesman. They're super comfortable. He said I wear it inside my home. It's so comfortable. I only wear it inside though because I do live in redneck country. Just thought I'd share. That's great. So what have you and the boys like? No, this is just an idea for a massive paintball park, right? And there are seven or eight, it's exactly like Blake going to go play certain locations on Warzone. I just want to play them in real life.

Let's do the Alamo. Let's do Normandy. What's the golf course that has the different... Exactly. You know what I'm talking about? The different one. It's in Flower Mound or something. Is it Tour 18 maybe?

Tour 18, they have like the island green of sawgrass. They have, gotcha. But they have this Versaceball, big league dreams you can play it Fenway. And when we were kids, when we were kids Dan, and this one's gonna hit real hard for a certain type of person, we had Ark Park. What's that? Ark Park was a youth baseball complex that had Wrigley, Fenway. Is that what you're talking about? No, this is slow pitch softball. Oh a different one. Yeah, this is when you were a kid if you could get on a team that was gonnarigley, Fenway. Is that what you're talking about? No, this is still pitch softball. Oh, a different one. Yeah. OK.

This is when you were a kid, if you could get on a team that was going to play at Ark Park. Yeah. And they had a little tiny version of Fenway. Yeah. Like with the giant wall. That'd be awesome. And they had a bed.

That's cool. The greenery on what's the? The ivy. Ivy, yeah. And you're saying that's all this is. Do it for paintball. Historical battles. It's a great idea.. Do it for paintball. Historical battles. It's a great idea.

Gettysburg paintball. Battle of the Bulge. Black Hawk Down. Guys. Business. Let's all throw in. No puppet production. And I think part of the, I think part of the,

One of them you try to find is the Dom. It is Mike Adams. I think part of the thing here is that we, It is Mike Adams. I think part of the thing here is that we It is Mike Adams. Zero Dark 30. When you come to historical conflict paintball, judgment free zone. Of course, yeah.

You can dress any way you want. If your team ended up being like Sudanese child rebel soldiers and you needed to play that part, here at conf. At Hotel Rwanda. Exactly. Exactly. Dude, number one, you're not gonna have to pay for advertising because this is gonna be a huge news story

when you open this up. I like this a lot. That's Noah Sendergaard. For real? Holy shit. Yeah, there's a store. And you know he's serious because he wears long pants, not shorts. You guys wanna pop him on at some point? Just be like, what's Thor. And you know he's serious because he wears long pants, not shorts.

You guys want to pop him on at some point? Just be like, what's going on? I don't know, maybe when we're walking out. Yeah. Do the bit. All right, I'm going to do another email then. All right. This one is to be kept anonymous.

We were discussing the other day, boy Noah Sintergaard is a great ass. You want to get him on, tell him? Okay, in a minute. He's right in front of the speaker. We were talking. I don't care. Get him over here.

I'll tell him. Think I won't? Where does he live? I guess that'd be a question for him. I've seen him work out at APEC in Fort Worth before. But we were talking about conjugal visits last week. How they work. You hear about it your whole life.

Do they bring your wife into a little room for an hour? Like what's the setup? An hour. A trailer. I don't know, it's any more than that seems crazy. It does. But, like even if you're in prison, after like an hour, aren't you like,

she doesn't stop, she keeps talking. So this guy who emailed us, big listeners said, I spent about eight months in a level two prison in another state. Damn. It wasn't the lowest security prison you could be at, but right above the lowest. You could walk around free will except for at night. There was a fence keeping you in. It had army style barracks for rooms, no cells.

We had a church, a library, free weights. He says, the way conjugal visits work is this, if you've had enough good behavior and you've been there over a year, you could rent out a double wide trailer right outside the property. Your family could come to that and you could be there for 24, sometimes 48 hours if it was a holiday weekend. The family would be allowed to bring in whatever food you want. So I saw some people with buckets of KFC or barbecue or burgers, things of that nature.

It's a whole three bedroom trailer that you and your family can stay in and visit and do whatever you want until the next day. So, I didn't know that. I didn't know it was off property. I would imagine there's probably, I don't know if there's a camera, but they're at least searched before they come in. I mean, you have to search to visit, you get searched pretty hardcore to visit someone at rehab. So maybe they give you privacy because they've searched you. But I think this is really unfair to the prisoner with no family because if I've been good,

and I've been there over a year and I just want to get a 24-hour goon and grub sesh, I just beat off and eat dominoes for 24 hours. Why can't I do that? Why can't I not do that because I'm not married? Right. I don't have kids. I want to have a conjugal Can you have your buddies show up? Do a fantasy draft like if we showed up yeah

Holy shit you gave your fans your conjugal visit to us you are currently in prison We will come do a 690 at your conjugal visit free Yeah, no way Taylor for free. We'll play it pay for the trailer rental. Yeah Hit us up So anyways, that's how conjugal visits work Wow The more you learn about jail the better it gets I know man food Free weights are you kidding me? I?

Gotta pay LA Fitness for that. Okay. You don't really have to get, they give you clothes, right? Yeah. You know how hard it is to try and look fashionable? You don't have to tell me. I think they even, possibly in jail, they have like therapy.

Uh-huh. But if you're on the outside, I suggest checking out BetterHelp. Nice job. What a brilliant segue. Nice job. I like that. Go to betterhelp.com slash dumb zone.

Better help for all, prisoners included, at betterhelp.com slash dumb zone. See, the problem with the wives being here is they'll still put their like little slogans

on their shirts. Like that lady's shirt says, I like big putts and I cannot lie. Yes. Men play golf to get away from that. Did you see the hat another one of them has? It says, put it on my husband's tab. Hell yeah, bro. Brilliant.

He's probably got money. Golf was invented to get away from them and now they've infiltrated it. But they're running the operation here. They live, laugh, love the golf. Do you want to do that? Okay. Here's Jay with the... I don't know what we're in.

I'm on the same page here. Taking pictures too? With I know all the same page here taking pictures, too All right in local violence We have a couple of updates on these. I don't know stories. Oh the day the first one The Wilmer Hutchins shooter we're learning more about that young man who has now turned himself in Crazy story, but this is not the this is not the stabbing. This is a carmelo It's not this is not Carmelo with a K. We're gonna get to Carmelo Anthony He shot you know what I don't even know five five. I just seen four last but no one killed Oh really? Yeah.

Okay. But, so the news was talking last night. A little positivity. Some guy, just a good Samaritan I guess, was driving near that high school and saw this kid running around. And the kid ran up to him and was like, I crashed my dad's car,

I've gotta get to a place where I can use a phone, or like a pay phone or something, and then call them the guys I get in and it was in The police asked the guy did you look for a gun? Did you see his gun? Yeah, I see anything I wasn't looking for that. Yeah, there's also a video that the kid posted in his car on Instagram like right after he did it he's shirtless and he's looking over at the camera.

And I know the game we play, stereotypes are fun. But Blake did the deal yesterday where he was like, which kind of school shooting was this? Because we've joked, a lot of times there's a shooting in a poor neighborhood. It's like two kids got in a fight, and that's much more common in that neighborhood. Yeah, or was it? As opposed to like the I walked in

and started indiscriminately killing or it was just a popular kid, whatever. A real premeditated. I think that's probably kind of racist of me to say. Just because like I watched this video of this kid after this killing, he's clearly dealing with a very serious mental health issue.'s like you know my whole family's dead they were coming for me and everyone's trying to kill me and I'm not gonna let him kill me I'm not gonna

be the last one and he did like target four or five kids that he was getting picked on by I guess so I don't know I'm just saying I felt a little bad about the way I characterized that is like oh oh, white kids have to be crazy. But black kids are just violent. I see. I see. Because when you watch this kid talking, you're like, that kid, that's not just like you

got mad that day. Something else happened. This is a great moment for you to realize that black people can be crazy too. Yeah. It's a good reminder. You're growing. It's a good reminder. You're growing.

It's a good reminder. It doesn't reflect your core values. That's exactly right. Why are there none, to my knowledge, female school shooters? There were a few here this year, just in the last month or so. You know a story in Wisconsin. What's fun about those is there's usually like a trans element that is pushed on it so it's like if a foreign female wants to be a male and be a Nazi and like they post about it so they transition to be that who's to blame?

Interesting. The groomers. The woke trans groomers. That are telling everybody to trans up. Or the Nazis. What's the difference? Well, I'm saying if you transition to be a Nazi, who's to blame?

The transition? But what I'm saying is, yeah, the woke groomers are the same as Nazis, bro. Yeah. Same path. But what I'm saying is yeah, the wolf groomers are the same as Nazis, bro. Yeah same path No, we're not playing videos so I don't want to do that one. Oh The other local violence story is Carmelo Anthony related There were a couple stories yesterday that the first one was that They had purchased some $800,000 home

with their legal defense fund that was raised on GoFundMe. Are these true? I don't think so. OK, because that's the thing. You go on Twitter, and I just don't know what's true anymore. Well, his attorneys have had a couple of press conferences. They gave comment yesterday. They say that the family. Did you say the car?

Did you mention that? No. Completely fabricated apparently. Okay, because I saw a thing. They bought them a $150,000 car. Like Escalade or something? $800,000 home, paid for it in cash. So they've been, the house was leased for $37.50 a month by the family in 2022.

So it's been the same address for two years, registered or to them, whatever. So I don't know if it's true or not. And then today, his attorneys had a press conference about an hour ago, and in a really weird twist, you recall the father of Austin Metcalf, the student who was murdered. He came out and spoke to the news like that day

or the next day and was like very, day of, I've already forgiven him. Yeah, he said like this is not a race thing, it's not something that should be taken in that way. So I don't know what his move was today, but he showed up at the press conference of the accused murderer and his legal team. And the legal defense team had DPD remove him.

Wow. And then they gave comment where they opened the press conference and just said, hey, that's entirely inappropriate and it's disrespectful to his son's honor for him to be here really weird situation all the way around but uh no the the image I wanted to show you guys which I don't follow this account it's dom underscore L-U-C-R-E. Dom Lucre. I don't know, but I see it all the time. Like I said, 1.5 million followers. It's like a black Twitter news and social activist account.

All right. Is it the Dov Kleiman for something else? You're not that far, but not for the NFL, but for race. So this guy's whole bit is he's almost like a news source for the black community. And he's been saying, he's the one who says like, hey, they didn't buy this car. 2022, they had this house. People are just trying to sow division here.

Like, let's actually just look at the case and see what happens. So he puts that out there. It's got 5,000 retweets right now. So I was reading through his report. And this is like, I'm not a big stickler for grammar. I'm not Ted Emmerich, right? Like I don't need everything to be in AP style.

I don't really know how to speak. Will you tell me if something jumps out at you guys in Dom's post. Up most. Yeah, exactly, about Carmelo Anthony. Quote, we are moving closer towards a race war thanks to influencers, not civilians. Carmelo Anthony also had both parents in his life, a reported 3.7 GPA,

and an alleged track runner and football player. Alleged. Well, as a quick time out here, I don't love to use words repeatedly, so if we're gonna go with alleged once, I think we use it for murderer and not track runner. Yeah. Yeah.

Why would you ever need to be an alleged football player? Right, no, that seems like the objective. You're accusing him. Yeah. You can confirm. Why would you ever need to be a legend football player? Right. No, that seems like the objective fact. You can confirm. There's a good spot here to use a legend. It's the murder. You guys are alleged podcasters now. Yeah.

Yeah. And our other bit yesterday was the RF. I was going to play that RFK audio for you guys, but I feel like I'm tired of talking about politics. What did he say? Tired of talking about politics. Okay, so this is a bit of a- Did you see the Cheryl Hines?

Oh, that was spicy. At the UFC event? I liked that quite a bit. Where she was trying to- Yes. Donald Trump is walking by them all, shaking everybody's hands. So Cheryl Hines wanted a handshake and he just looked right,

didn't even look at her, right past her and then she's like, well. She looked right at her hand. Like. That's gold. She certainly has said something to RFK about that, correct? Of course. No doubt.

Yeah. Maybe he didn't know it was you. Maybe he didn't see it. All right, I've got one more decent sized news story here, but I also want to be cognizant of time. Good word. And we have some responsibilities here. So what do you think?

I mean, I'm letting you make the call. All right, there's your news. OK. I really wanted to do that story. It's going to be great tomorrow. The dumb zone new life and some scry. Grub up. All right, we'll do this and then we'll do our bit. Today in history. What'd you get? Fried chicken sandwich with pimento cheese because of the mass.

Yeah. So not a big deal. I don't think you were raging. I tell you the issue here, folks, is that we had the original Luka ones, but we also had those first ones they put out, which were the Luka Air Jordan ones, which are on the Jordan base, and I have those.

And I don't think I can wear them anymore. Why? It just feels weird. Oh, I'll definitely wear Lucas, come on. Think of him. Dear Jake the Simp Kemp, and Dan Prowell Herbowels McDowell, is my cousin Jared's,

PS, we have a bet on Jake's best 40-yard dash time ever ever and he has an over-under. So I can't tell you what his over-under is.

The best ever, which was not laser time, so there's almost no way it was accurate. And I mean that in a, I was probably benefiting from a coach who liked me. The best I ever did was four seven nine. His over-under was four nine. Yeah, that was not easy for me to get to either And greetings uncle nut up in them guts Today is my beloved wife Amanda's Shawn Kemp birthday

Jake would love this woman. She is six feet tall, has thighs that can crush pumpkins, and humiliates me in front of friends and family regularly. Yeah, no, I would like to be crushed. Embarrass me, honey. She knows about my fandom and went as far as to buy me a sit-in last year. Let's see, is a member of the Beehive any assortment of Blake drops would be good.

Tim Couch, Akili Smith, Joey Harrington. Nicely done. Is that not right? It's not right Tim Couch, Donovan Mab, Akili Smith. Was that the same draft for Harrington? Harrington was a few years later. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, because he was NCAA 2002 or 2003. 2003. PS2, man. Hell yeah, bro. Anybody want to take a crack at 1971? No. No. All right, Jim Plunkett, Archie Manning, Dan Pasterini.

Don't know whatever you did. I had nothing tois or something? I don't know. Whatever you did, I had nothing to do with. But I don't know, maybe immaturity, I'm not sure. But I remember the night that happened. There was a Mavs game.

Yeah. There was a Falwell and Sean Bass Mavs postgame show. Engineered by me and there I mean what hundreds of people are dead or injured and it was the last game of the year And I was in my car. I was probably driving from TC's house and I was legit mad. They were not talking about like the offseason What were they talking about this explosion? You should have been you tuned into a sports station. I know but even the tickets the ticket. Sean's a guy

who wants to know you to know he cares and he does. The tickets the ticket. I was so mad when that happened. The Mavs post game is not. They were going into the playoffs by the way. Do you know what I mean? Like regular yeah programming is hey we talk about anything. Mavs post-game show, no. You talk about the Mavs game that just happened or things that affect the Mavs. You do not veer off and do a... You just don't even... If there's a big enough story like that, you throw it to the news people.

That's what I would say. P.D. man's what I would say. PD man. Call me with questions. We gotta get ready for the Spurs and we're over here. I agree with you. I agree with young Jake there. Let's do some today's birthdays.
