(05:40):

thing. Now your grandfathered in.I just have to because we're fairly new.
Yes, six months or so old. I see it. I see

In fact, Ben was in theaudience. Was yeah, with little
Ben g be a call to thestage. That's hilarious because Danny was on

(06:48):
it. Danny was on the stage. Ben was there. But you're just
like, enjoy the show. Wellhe got a VIP invite, okay,
And but Danny had prepared a song. Now, if Ben had prepared a
song, perhaps he would have beenup on the stage as well. Okay,
but he didn't do that. Butyeah, but I'm not here to

(07:08):
promote our YouTube page. I amhere to get more subscriptions than Jake did
when he was on the free Let'sGo. He got one. Yeah,
that's all. He got one.You think that's all he ended up getting.
I thought, well, I don'tknow if the number that we see
as the public. But I checkedbefore he started talking and then they left
and I saw one. Uh.Perhaps though, Yeah, there might be

(07:30):
a thing where if you sign upon patreon dot com, slash the dumbs
on, you get a free weekand then it starts to kick in.
But I know, I don't reallyknow how that works. But he got
more than one. I don't know. I'm saying, maybe we still have
to wait a day. Well,if you don't, who does? Who
does your business for you? Idon't know. We're having a lot of
problems with with all this. Didyou hear that we are we're officially working

(07:53):
with the Skydiving Chief now? Yes? Whoa, Yeah, that was one
of our big announcements. Yes,that's kind of a only. That's good.
That's good, that's very good.You got the best there, Yeah,
he's great. But yeah, myonly goal today is to get more
subs than Jake. So if yousubscribe, I would really appreciate that.

(08:13):
Then you can just go and subscribelater. I just want to look better
than Jake because it's the only wayI could possibly look better than Jake.
So is a great looking guy.So let me get this straight. In
your word, in your world,subs means subscribers. It means subscribers,
not what what it means in yourworld when you search for a when you
say, hey, I'm a sub, are you into coming over and kind

(08:37):
of pushing me around a little bit? Are you more domb or sub Mike,
I'm definit I'm a definite domb lord. Yeah, more of but it
seems too you're giving too much energyif you're a dumb right, like just
kind of lay there and take it. It is way easier. But yeah,

(08:58):
so I thought over to the otherside quite often, but I haven't
done it yet. Switch around.Do you ever watch Billions? Yeah?
Like, what's his name? Didpig vomiting? Billions? Yeah? Yeah,
is a sub? I believe right? Who could know? Yeah?
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, that'show the opening scene. Nobody else has

(09:18):
ever watched billions a Sorry, Sotwo reasons I'm here, of course,
at Buffalo Wild Wings. One totry and get more subscriptions because we do
a subscription based podcast. It's alsoavailable for free. But you know,
I mean two a week are freeand then two a week are just Patreon
exclusive. So if you go toyou know, your Yahoo or excuse me,

(09:39):
but how do you get podcasts?Apple? Yeah? Or iHeart Apple
or Iheartart? You know what?We actually y'all are on iHeart Are we
now? Yeah? Have you looked? I looked recently? Yeah, okay,
because like a few weeks ago,I couldn't. I was trying to
find us on the iHeart app andit listed us, but it didn't have
any of our shows. So Iwas having trouble, like, this is

(10:01):
all behind the scenes stuff that wedon't know how to. We don't know
what we're doing. Yeah, thisis the problem with the really digging into
your RSS? Well, no,you'd hit it. And is there a
bunch of shows like Yesterday's show andall that. Oh, these episodes aren't
here yet, That's what I mean. I don't understand how to do it.
I tried to listen to y'all theother day on one of the biggest
platforms, iHeart. We're on Spotify, we're on the Apple, but I

(10:24):
can't get on iHeart. I thinkyour people just don't want me there.
Actually, what the real problem is, nobody's sure that iHeart really exists.
I'm sure they exist. Yeah,they do the games on iHeart. They
use a thing called Spreaker. Youjust have to get onto that called what
spreaker? Spreaker. Yeah, thisis just really cool spreaker podcast talk,
Yeah, sorter in the scenes.Yeah, so get on scort. Yeah

(10:48):
no, that's not what I said. Oh it's a different site. Man.
I could deal with three all prettywell, but I don't know about
four no way, because I'm drivingin listening. And Julie was like when
we had Julie on our show manyyears ago, working on the ticket uh
with Jake, Julie was part ofour show, Yeah and then and she

(11:09):
was like the voice of reason.She was the consciousness show. If we
are if we started talking about agirl with two orifices where there was supposed
to be one, or if Ithen she would be like, guys,
like she would reel us back in. And now she's like, oh yeah,
she has none of that. Whatcould I look like. She's like,

(11:31):
oh, she's throwing caution to thewind man. Yeah, no,
I let it go. I letit go to an extent and then we
reel back. And you didn't reelanything back. Well, I didn't have
to on that segment because I washaving fun. I let it go as
long as I'm having fun, andthen when I finished having fun, I
reel it back in. And that'show it was works. What was the

(11:54):
discussion yesterday that you guys? Imean, it was just too much.
It was too much for me.You finally, Oh, it was like
where you can where we were talkingabout a woman who got mad because she
was trying to bring her clear baginto football should havestered it or sorry a
baseball stadium? And then Jeff wassaying, how like women are lucky because

(12:16):
we have two places that we canhide things. They only have one and
they ken't go wait, And Iwas like, guys, okay, this
is a little much, right.I don't remember a lot of times a
lot of times much as one ofthose places they could hide it. You
might think they might not mind,like they're into it, Like if we

(12:37):
have to hide something there that's uncomfortable. It's not something we're used to,
most of us. Yeah, wewere talking about perhaps a big giant purse.
No, woman's going to be intothat. That's not I mean,
you guys can handle nine pounds stuffcoming out, but that surely that is
like just get an epidural and it'sgreat. That is magic. That is

(13:01):
magic. That is not normal.Yes, and it requires a lot of
drugs. And a big giant purseis one thing. Let's talk about something
that we might actually you know,want to hide there. Oh so you're
saying down there, it's like asnake that could unhinge its jaw, like
it's magic, you know just asmuch as I do. I mean,

(13:24):
I just happened to be a partof this whole experiment, but I don't
know. I don't know all thescience behind everything. But yes, I
did birth two humans, so Iknow that's possible. Yeah, I've seen
a human exit. Is this yourfinest hour? And I realized as I
as we have this conversation that Ibrought this up and so once again this
is my fault. But no,my point was, yeah, we'll I'll

(13:48):
run and play as long as I'mhaving fun, Dan, and you know
what, We've been having a lotof fun on this show. Interesting thing
is it sounds like she was sayingon your show she was not having fun.
This is kind of what she's saying. She is on this show,
right. No, I'm which meansshe likes us better than you. I'm
rereading between the lines. No,I think it was that Dan just goes

(14:09):
there very quickly, like we kindof wind up. Yeah, we'll take
a good like five six minutes tillwe get to there, and then will
like something will start and then withinone minute he goes there, and that's
when I have to reel it back. I'm a trickster. I work my
way down a path, whereas Dan, you just kind of jump off.
Oh yeah, he does, hedoes. So what are we doing at

(14:31):
twenty four? Guys? What's thatmeans? Trying to slip the draft TP?
Yeah? Sports, what do youwant to do a twenty four?
We don't have to bring it backto sports here, Dan, Well,
actually the game besides the vagina ladenlady. Yeah, I wanted to mention
so in the last segment at theend of that, Jeff was mentioning,

(14:54):
Uh, hey, David Moore,you said David Moore head a quick hit.
They said, can you restate thatessentially that the Cowboys would really like
to pick offensive linemen and if theright guy is not available for them,
they're very open to trading down inthe draft. Okay, but you also
had a different phrase. You saidsomething about that they're going to have to

(15:18):
be react or something like that.So they got to be on their game,
they got to be on their toes. Things are going to be happening,
the bullets are going to be flying, So I have something on that.
So I was listening to a Thisis pretty old. Actually this is
a few months old, but itwas a podcast which I do like to

(15:39):
promote. One in particular I reallylove to promote, but this particular one
is the Cowboys, a Cowboys podcast. I can't remember the name of it,
but Kt is on it. Ohit's the athletic one, so Kat
sad and then the guy's name islike Kent, yeah, yeah, the

(16:00):
oh god, do you have theaudio of what he said about Steven and
the phone? So apparently Kent's maybehe'll reset that here. But he used
to work for the Cowboys. Yeah, he ran their podcast stuff. When
I was up there doing shows.Kent would be the guy behind the glass
that was making everything happen. Andlike I said, he might actually say

(16:21):
this here, so I apologize it'sgoing to be redundant when you hear it,
but it's only a minute clip.They he would have to sift through
all of the video because you'll seethe next day, like tomorrow, the
Cowboys will have some video up oncowboys dot com or Dallas Callarys dot com.
So he gets to sift through allthe phone calls. You know,
he hears every phone call is recordedbecause sometimes they'll call Mazzie Smith or they'll

(16:45):
call whoever their draft pick is andsay, hey, Jerry's going to talk
to you, and then it isfun. But so every call is recorded,
even calls from like other teams record, you know, requesting trades other
teams. So anyway, this wasa very uh illustrative story about how dysfunctional
the Cowboys are. I thought onthat the KT's podcast, let's just call

(17:07):
it Kat's Cowboy Play. Okay.When I worked there, one of my
favorite parts was after the draft goingthrough all the tape of the draft and
seeing who called them because it's allrecorded, you know, like all the
all the all the trade requests andall that. It's all, it's all
they just seeing, you know,all that, like this stuff they turned

(17:30):
down, you know when they comeor listening seeing end listening. The Lions
called him and offered him somebody,and Stephen was like, who's that?
And I mean it was it wasa pretty decent name. And he was
like who He's a blah blah blah. And they explained who it is.
He's like, oh, we'll callyou back, and Stephen just like hangs

(17:52):
up the phone and just sits thereand keeps watching the draft. He doesn't
even tell anyone that somebody called,doesn't even ask will who this guy is.
And then the guy calls back likefive minutes later. It's like,
hey, do you think about that? He's like, yeah, no,
But it was just pretty like howI imagine it that, Like, hey,
he didn't even know who the playerwas and b didn't attempt to look

(18:15):
it up and see if it mightbe worth looking into. I thought,
like, you're a fan of theCowboys. That could be the worst thing
you've ever heard. Like, sohe'll get a draft a call, yeah,
proposing a trade. It's a guyyou've heard of So certainly I would
hope the GM or the capologist orwhoever has heard of it, like anybody

(18:36):
in the front office. And ifyou haven't, at least tell Will McLay.
I'll bet he knows who all theplayers are. We already know Jerry
and Steven don't really know who allthe players are. Okay, this might
help you, it might not.But shouldn't you uncover every real stone all
that kind of stuff? And yeah, aren't you trying to get better?
This is the aren't you all in? You know that the big deal?

(18:59):
So I can't even believe, Likewhen he said that on his pocket,
I thought, this is going toblow up. This is going to be
on every show. We talked aboutit, and I didn't know, Like
I didn't play the audio, partiallybecause it would take more work, but
also partially because it's like I kindof can't believe he said that, and
I don't want to blow up hisspot too much. But he did say

(19:19):
it on a podcast, said yeah, it's okay to play. Yeah,
yeah, we talked about it.I mean, yeah, yeah. He
was a behind the scenes guy,he's a friend of mine. He's a
good dude. I was stunned thathe said it about as much as I
was stunned that it happened like thatis very illustrative of how, yeah,
this is our family's toy, theCowboys are. It's blatant proof of what

(19:45):
a lot of people are suspicious ofwhen it comes to the Cowboys, Right
it's just like a day to daything. It's a job, but they're
not trying their hardest. That's blatantproof right there. And I think that's
probably even more of a Stephen Jonesthing than a Jerry thing, because one
thing about Jerry Jones is like,I don't know, he might get a
bunch of calls and not tell anybodyabout it, but my god, that

(20:07):
dude loves input from all sorts ofpeople, from his coaches, from Will
McClay, from his friends in theNFL. He loves so much input.
And I do think a lot oftimes it's a generational thing, Like the
guy who put it all on theline is like way in on his toy
at least at first, and yourson is like, Yeah, this is
just our thing, whatever, dude, this is fun, Like they're just
having fun. It's their toy,and it's like, yeah, that is

(20:30):
the most embarrassing cowboy audio probably ever. Maybe they were just having a bad
day. It's gross, probably ever. But we've also had Jerry pretty drunken
bars and I haven't heard the Imean other than Roma was a miracle,
Like that's a good one. Butyeah, that's pretty good. Their whole
hot dog Have you heard the wholehot dog conversation? Get it to me,

(20:53):
give them the whole this just tellthe sausage on the hot dog.
This is a guy, but thisis a hot dog bum dog? Are

(21:26):
they like on Amazon Prime or oneof the behind the scene cowboy things?
And they were at one of thehigh school football games for Paxton or something,
And I just love the idea that, yeah, there's this top secret
hot dog here and bun that boy. If we could find what they're getting,
I can tell you what they're getting. Go to the nearest store and
Jerry and Steven are breaking down theentire anatomy of a hot dog. It's

(21:47):
a hot dog too. Jerry JonesJunior tells us about how the foil steams
the bund. Yeah, foil thesethings. That's pretty awesome. I would
change the game at the stadium ifwe put dollar dogs and foil Oh oh
god, well thanks, Yeah,I loved it. On Draft Day,
you're reminding us how inept this organizationis in a lot of ways. I

(22:08):
think that's great. I think that'sgood. Yeah, something we need to
be reminded of. No, butjust you saying that earlier, or that's
the report is that they're going tohave to be you know, quick on
their feet tonight. Yeah, Ithink you know what, you know,
what, can we just carry over? Let's carry it because next it's the
best damn sports segment period And Idid want to do some draft stuff,

(22:30):
and I think we can just keepcruising with Cowboys draft stuff because it's one
of the many things that they're kindof screwed up on where we are right
now. So let's just do that. About the Hollywood Minute, we didn't
do that, plus the Hollywood Minute, Yeah, we'll do all of it with Dan
