Hello again, everybody. Jim Nance here. You know I say that. I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jay Kemp. I'm Blake Jones. Clayton Kimbrough is here as well Clayton is But we're not in our studio if you are viewing us. We're streaming live

That's a Roman salute on the tube on the Rome to the YouTube on the Twitter Yeah, I didn't know we were doing vid today. I didn't either. I thought this is an audio only thing and Clayton just showed up with his cape. I didn't do my hair I Mean I actually was curious cuz Dan asked Specifically which he doesn't usually do so. I thought you were gonna show up with I don't know New teeth today you wanted to debut but not be on camera Well, no same thing. I didn't do I have to get extra spiffy Blake said no

right and Clayton showed up so we are doing the vid and We are not in our downtown Dallas Fox four studios. We are not high atop my garage. We are at the home of one Matt Grimm. Whoa! DZRV MVP. He was the MVP of the DZRV probably of the other time we did it as well went down to San Antonio. We at least have to say that just so he'll drive us again. Yeah, it's kind of like winning the NBA Cup. Like an in-season tournament. We put it on there.

He did it, but the finals is camp. That journey. No, this is like CENTCOM for the dumb zone or something. We're not at home but this is this is basically home base. What a nice house have you walked around the house? I walked around the gym. I was like this is North Richland Hills? No way. The way you've described it is kind of Beirut like. That is not true. That is not true at all. This hollowed out. I would have never called this North Richland Hills, though.

But if it is called that, then this is a- That's where you live? That's what this is? This is Fort Worth. Oh, this is officially Fort Worth. This is a very tricky area over here. The last time we went to a house that had a North Richland Hills address, you were like, this place is amazing.

I'm like, well, this isn't where I grew up. But no, there's very nice parts of North Richland Hills. Just the further you get over towards the high school, the freeway, the Haltem, we're not too far from, you know, somewhat subpar neighborhoods. The slums I rescued my wife from. Is that right? No, dude, you get you a good Haltem woman,

you're set for life. They're grateful. She knows. They don't forget where they came from anyway, it is a topic that I wanted to discuss with you guys kind of off the air, but we are talking about going to Denver for the Cowboys game and Blake is stoked right now because you could save a couple hundred bucks. I think on a flight because you could save a couple hundred bucks I think on a flight but did we want to drive do we want to like that was kind of fun I don't know how long it takes to get to Denver the driver is saying yes he wants to go to Denver it's

not that bad if you know what you're getting into it's what he said 10 I said 13 so it's in the middle. Yeah. But if you go in thinking this is driving a day, then you're going to be miserable. But it's not bad. Oh, OK. Yeah. OK, let's fly.

Because he wants to leave at 4 AM. Yeah. That's who Matt Grim is. Yeah, and he is the earliest. He needs no sleep. I don't know what his deal is. Yeah, and he's the earliest. He needs no sleep. I don't know what his deal is. Yeah, and I don't know that we're like to the level where we can get gold bracelets yet.

But I think we can pay for the flights, especially with the deal hunter on our side. I found it. Found it. Found a coupon. It's just I never feel comfortable like deciding anything in like a five day period. I need a lot of time to sift and think on it.

And Blake's forcing our hand now. The deal ends today. It's like, OK, well, what if we just paid a couple hundred more next week? I think that's a bad plan. That's a bad plan. That's why we are. As long as you don't get upset with us

when we force you to move quick, then we're good. I know you want to move slower and take time, but sometimes. To make sure it's right. You know we have? I don't want to rush this, honey. We got a little momentum. Do we?

We're going to Denver. It's just a matter of how we're getting there. Yeah, well, the momentum can all stop this Saturday. Could stop today. Dumb Zone Generic summer event doesn't go well. We're still on. I have real fear. It is presented by Qualis Roofing.

Actually, Business Wednesday, we spent, we, meaning Dan, Jake, Clayton, just about everybody in our tiny operation, exceptton, just about everybody in our tiny operation, except one guy just didn't show up, didn't care. It's not, it's supreme confidence from Blake because if this goes super, super shitty Saturday, he really opened himself up for being blamed for it.

Because he wasn't there yesterday. He wasn't there, so. I thought you guys could handle it. Yesterday we were scouting out the local shacks at Austin Ranch, which I just, I'm piecing together handle it. Yesterday we were scouting out the local shacks at Austin Ranch, which I'm piecing together why it's called that. It's a bad name. Okay, okay.

But Jerry understands by me saying that, that will highlight their name even more, and you're just not gonna forget where this event is. Right. But as I'm driving into the colony which that in itself seems like is that a city? What are we talking about here? I was thinking about yesterday how funny it would be named if that city was just called the country. How do you just... The colony, yeah, is it a city? What are you, City FC? Anyway, that's called the name. Already it's called the colony and that's confusing enough to me because I thought I'm in Plano or something.

Anyway, but then inside the colony there's another little subset called Austin Ranch. I don't know where it starts or ends but I saw like a sign that you are now in Austin Ranch. Like, oh, okay. And then, yeah, then the sh shacks the local shacks at and I don't know anyway. You just put it in your phone. That's where we'll be Saturday. Yeah. Qualis Roofing is setting us up. They were out there. They're gonna have a big tent. So come on out and look at a tent Saturday. And you know, Grady Spencer was out there as well, prepping the scene.

We had prophets and outlaws out there. Again, everybody. Raymond was out there. He's going to set up his press so he can actually make t-shirts on site. Have you ever heard of such a thing? I haven't. I literally haven't. So we were pretty covered. We're starting at six. Doors open they say at 11. Like there's no way any of us will be there by then but if you want to, you meaning those listening to this. I just want to make sure Blake is free Saturday yeah, what time can you? Anyway, we'd love to have you Blake the beehive I believe has been activated so Can I ask you guys a question safe space question the other thing that happened to me while we were out there

I got there a little bit early because I had a virtual doctor's appointment at 11 and I was running around, it was drop kit off, run up to the colony and then get inside Austin Ranch and then get right by those local shacks. And it was like 1059, I had to pee really, really bad. And it's like a massive, massive parking lot. And I just peed in a water bottle. Man, I haven't done that in a long time. I hadn't either. And I'm here- Unless you're like stuck in traffic or something crazy.

I didn't want to be late for my appointment. The time had run out. I wasn't gonna run over to the local shed. They weren't open, but I had no time to be late for my appointment. The time had run out. I wasn't going to run over to the local shed. They weren't open, but I had no time to find out. I have a huge water bottle, and I'm like, you know, there's many things about being a male that are burdensome, difficult, carrying the weight of the world.

Most of them, yeah. My head hurts from my brain being so big. But another one that I think goes underused is, I mean, what does a female do in that spot? It's a great benefit. And I was looking at it, and I'm like, there's nothing, there's no exposure. Like, you're curving, and there's nothing.

I don't think I'm going to end up with having to register as an offender. Like, why do dudes want to transition to be ladies? That seems more difficult. Like, if you want to transition to be ladies? That seems more difficult. Like you already have a hole. Yeah if you just call it that thing. But I could see why ladies want to transition. But like you would never do that would you? Transition? No. Or pee in a bottle? Sure. Like today if that if you're just like I got to go I'm in a parking lot. I might just open the door and then stand there and look

around. Because that was my thought. And then you're facing your car and you kind of. That was my thought is that that feels dangerous. Like someone drives by and. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I think I'm traumatized from when I was a little kid.

I went to pee outside in between my yard and a neighbor's yard. I think it was like six, maybe five. And the neighbor stormed over. And it was like, my granddaughter could see. She was like five or six too. It was really weird, dude. My mom still tells that story. This guy came over and was all pissed off and like exposing their genitals.

You're like, huh? What? What's a genital? What are you genital? What are you talking about? Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, Saturday. I got a couple things. I'll be out there pissing in bottles.

Okay. I got a couple things. Actually, the guy that made the Niko Harrison urinal cakes sent me a few and we will, you'll be able to come out to the local shacks at Austin Ranch no bottle needed and go potty on Nico Harrison's face all right Jerry was saying they ordered extra Lone Star beer like they usually have Lone Star beer

anyway but he wanted to make sure they're stocked up yeah and so he gave me a number and I said what you double it Hawes Yeah, if you get out there and need some Lone Star beer, they're gonna be there a couple things before we get to sports today The TV show tires season two premieres tonight, oh does it I know you'd be interested in that definitely I don't know what time I Will not be I don't know what time. I will not be watching. Does it all drop at the same time, or does tires go week by week? Don't remember.

Well, anyway, we got our Shane Gillis vehicle back on HBO. Netflix. Really? OK. Unless they moved it. OK, no. If it started on Netflix, it's on Netflix. I don't know.

It's on my TV, and I will figure out where it is. When are they gonna have something that can just have all the channels be on the same thing? I just don't really find it to be that prohibitive, but we'll get there, I'm sure. I talked to our friend Kurt. You've met Kurt at a cowboy watching party. You've met Kurt at a cowboy watching party.

Kurt is one of the owners of the Mesa Grill. Yeah. Tex-Mex in Grapevine, well known as the Tex-Mex Restaurant, which out in front of it there is a 9-Eleven Memorial. And the Mesa Grill has closed. Yeah. I just cold called Kurt saying, what happened? Like that was the first he's like, hey Dan.

I'm like, what happened? That's it, no pleasantries. No time. Cause it was business Wednesday and he gave me some business, some sad business talk. Apparently, he was like, look, we were here. We made it through the Pandy. Apparently, if you're a restaurant owner who has made it through the Pandy, that kind of like is a badge of honor for being a restaurant owner.

Yeah. I mean, they should have a badge of honor from when I went to rehab because I was buying like a gallon of margaritas to keep them in business with my wife during the pandemic. We would eat there all the time. They were doing Marks to go. It's a great place. But I basically said to him, I go, everybody who has talked to me about Mesa closing down

says why it was always packed. Like some places you're like, you know this is not long for. Yeah, no. You know, go to a, anytime they open up one of those local salad places, I always go. Cause I'm trying to live forever and there's never anyone in there. It is funny though, speaking of like where we are today,

I saw one today, like over like the Watage area, I'm like, there's never anyone in there. It is funny, though, speaking of where we are today. I saw one today over the Watauga area. I'm like, there's no way. It's not going to serve you. It's cool. You're into it, and I support you. I'm going to try and go here twice a week. Yeah, I'm more likely to drive by and throw cheese at that place.

OK, well, I mean, open up an 80th pizza restaurant, though, it'll still be thriving. Right. Basically, yeah. Anyway, it's always packed. He said it was because their lease was coming up and a price increase on that lease, they had a seven year lease.

The price increase was quite, quite significant and they tried some haggling, but they were told you know hey we can get more we can bring in a big change you know they're a local yeah I know I dude I mean you you know this is I drive by this five times a day and so for me I loved Mesa but also it's more of the symbolic thing of like well if they're pricing out a local Tex-Mex restaurants that was banging, who's going to be able to pay for that? Probably not a place I want there, you know? Right.

And it's a cool little, I mean, it's grapevine. I'm not trying to make it seem like I live in Brooklyn, but it's a cool little area right there where they have some cool things. They also never forget, which is a huge part of the old Mill U. No, I used to forget all the time before I drove around here And I don't know that these new owners, they may forget Don't even know if they know Anyway Pathetic, so yeah that sucks

There's a couple, I mean I'm sure it's happening in everybody's town And I don't know how all this shit works But there was a great place A little kitchen that had been Running out of downtown grapevine for years And years and years, it was like a catering place. And they just got bought out, like their building got sold to a private equity firm and they said, adios. And it's like, okay. I'm learning that if you say private equity firm, that means that's a negative thing and

certain connotations with business. It depends. It depends on which side of the gun you're on. Yeah, I guess so. Anyway, moment of silence for Mesa. What's gonna happen to the jet fuel can't melt steel beam salsa? Did you know what's funny about that? We've done that joke series for years,

and then yesterday as I was up at the local shacks at Austin Ranch in the colony, taking a piss in a bottle, I was staring at a place, I swear to God, just full disclosure, I was talking to the therapy lady and I was staring in that parking lot to a place called Tex-Mex Liquor. I Googled it. It's a real place up there.

It's a real place in the colony. It's a liquor store just called Tex-Mex Liquor. And if you guys are telling me I got out of the game before they started doing like, you know, enchilada vodka, or you know, I waited a long time for this. Yeah, like this is what I was hanging on for was, you know, mole whiskey. Spite queso.

Yeah. Anyways. Also, went to the gym on the way home yesterday. You do be lifting. As I do. Saw something I'd never seen before. A lady in a full, is it a hijab? What is the thing that covers every part of your body except your eyes?

Well, I get confused on the difference between hijab and burka, but yeah. Well, whatever. It's the long dress, the thing over the head. Could you see her face or just her eyes? Couldn't see the face, just the eyes. That's more burka. Somebody was walking her around showing her the gym. I'm like, wow.

Because we got the guy that wears jeans and a tucked-in white tank top t-shirt. He looks real country. And at the gym, everybody is welcome. I don't know if you found this, but my gym is very, there's real hardcore muscle heads that where the Gold's gym tiny thing there's olds there's a guy in a walker that takes him literally 15 minutes to get from one machine to the other and I always wonder

do it does he want me to help him do anything but I don't think he does like it I'm just picturing you know me at that age like I but I don't think he does. Like, I'm just picturing, you know, me at that age. Like, I think I don't want anybody messing with me or talking to me at all. Well, that's me at this age as well. He's just out of the house to get away from his wife, so he's in no hurry. So he's like, this is great.

Oh yeah. At least he's moving. Yeah, no, he's, whether the wife exists, I mean, it's getting to go look at something else. I think he's getting more steps than I am just by walking across the room. It's taken him 4,000 steps just to get to his car. Yeah, but if you're at a rec or, I mean, 24,

those places are fairly welcoming. If you want to get people who, you know, there are gyms you can go to where people are assholes. But in general, I agree. Yeah, I found that. But the, anyway, the. Well, here's my question. So. So the variety of people it's great because you just live in your own world You do your own thing grunt. You can do whatever and nobody cares. No, nobody's looking at you. The job I've seen hijab a job I'm sure I'm saying that incorrectly H job. It's the H chat

But the burka, how are you working out in that? I guess you have to. I didn't see her work out. She was only being shown everything. Was she with a male that was not a city employee, or a rec person, or gym person? Yes. There was a man? OK.

But it looked like she was, yeah, it looked like she was scouting it out, like do I want to work out here? Do I want to pay $30 a month or whatever it is? Do you subscribe to TC's opinion about the burka? I don't know what it is. It's one that we kind of fleshed out. The hole should be at the mouth?

It's one that we kind of fleshed out. No, you just get to pick two. And you're like, all right, I'm going to go with my eye. Where do you wet the hole? Maybe one for one eye, maybe. This was fleshed out during COVID because TC's like, man, these masks are kind of hot. Because I get to guess.

And then we started thinking, the ultimate, the burka, you can really run wild with your imagination there. There's just no way there's any hot under that burka you really have you can really run wild with your imagination there there's just no way there's any hot under that burka you are out of your goddamn mind you think there's some really keep because if that's an excuse to not keep it together I'm wearing the burka you are you have this so backwards it's not even funny huh and in fact this is where we turn Dan into a far right in cell even further. I would actually say that a lot of those women,

because of the way their culture works, they keep themselves looking extremely nice, and only their husband sees it. Mm. Or else he beats her. Well, listen. OK, seriously. Yeah.

You think a culture that's like, yeah, you can't go outside without me, and you're not allowed to show your face to anyone else lets her turn into a Roseanne It's not happening interesting. She will be replaced yesterday So I would actually say more often than not when's the last time you saw a huge lady in a burka? Come to think of it. I can't think of the last time I saw a fat Muslim lady. Alright. Little fear in there, you know? Little implication.

I mean, the point, like, Parcells, his players hate him when they play for him, but they appreciate it afterwards. Yeah. It's kind of like that. That's sports I also know I have a new I have a sports segment a new name for a segment but we can do that here in sports it's new sponsor time is it not we have a new sponsor? We do. Trident Access Services.

This is a garage door company. We met this dude the other day, and this is not a- Welcome. Yes, welcome. Indeed. Garage door, huge pain in the ass. Not with Texas Trident. TXTrident.com.

I'm not sure, Jeremy didn't put this on the copy, but he has a really sick full leg tattoo and it's all ocean-y. I was like, what's the deal there? And he's like, I was in the Navy. It's a Poseidon tattoo. So he rules the seas and now he's ruling the space of garage doors, Dan. Yeah, they say as a veteran-owned company, they've been dedicated to service. Yeah. And they're dedicated to making them a trusted resource for garage door and entry gate service. That is their ultimate goal. Entry gate.

How about a gate, bro? How about it? Yeah. They can do it for you at txtriden.com. Jeremy, great dude. Similar story to ours, starting their own thing. 817-512-1212. 817-512-1212. 817-512-1212. And we're great dudes too. I didn't. Just so great. We just started our own thing. Jake has a tattoo. That's true. So that's kind of,

you're kind of like Jeremy. Jeremy! A man of service. Let's see, what all could we do today? We could start with Cowboys and you go shotty and I got a couple players. I had an article come out today, which is really just the stuff we've been talking about on the show written down. But it's just the idea that, and you're gonna hear it in this audio,

all anybody can ask Brian Schottenheimer about is fun because that's his entire resume. I want to be clear, I'm not coming off the position that this was a very poor process in hiring this guy. You have all the money in the world, you have all the prestige in the world, you have a quarterback that's not a joke, he's one of the guys that a great coach thinks he can win with.

And they low ball a guy who you know is dad. I mean, I put in the article, Dak has probably called more plays in the NFL than Brian Schottenheimer has. Brian Schottenheimer has like a three or four year run and he was doing it with Pete Carroll. So he wasn't calling plays? He was calling them for a few years,

but there's a level of calling plays and then there's a level of calling plays, right? And one of them is you've got Pete Carroll or any like a Belichick coordinator. They're not always there. He's in charge. So he has no resume, but we-pong, we got paintball. We sure do. And it's working on me because... It's working on all the media.

Well they're just reporting what's happening but it's working on me. Except those of us with a little bit of their own... Your own brains. Yeah. But mine is not just that I don't have my own brain. I'm curious what Blake thinks about this Yes, as you may know the cowboys won 36 regular season games over three years. It's a lot a lot more than most teams But they never felt they haven't felt like a cool team in a long time to me And I think that's because like their coaches or garret was boring and mccarthy had a real like f off You know who I am attitude But they're they need a coach to just be the coach and let the players be the players

Like what the inmates run the asylum they have a better chance of standing up to Jerry than any coach does So just get out of the way. Yeah to me make sure we have reservations at CC's The other players just became less cool to me. I love Dez I love the attitude he brought Marion Barber. Witten was cool to me in his own like crazy hard-ass way but Sean Lee. Yeah when you're led by Dak and for a little bit of Mario Cooper was silent CD has the sniff but I don't know. It felt like though when Micah first joined, they felt cool. Yeah, a little bit Zeke was cool.

Their defense is kicking ass now. They still got Zeke as fun, although diminishing skills. But Dak wasn't the focal point. And now it kind of seems like Dak is the focal point. And I think that's where you can lead to they're not cool. I just want the team, when you think of the Cowboys, you think of C.D., you think of Micah. I think of DAC.

The problem is that their coach talks, again, in like therapy speak and in new age business speak, and so does their quarterback. And that's not actually that cool in football. It's great in personal life. Can't meditate your way out of a third down. Therapy speak, new age guy feels like position coach to me. That is why hard ass coaches, there's

a good cop, bad cop thing a little bit with the position coach can be your buddy, can talk you through things, can hey, but here's what we really need and you know, but the, that for the head coach to be the buddy buddy, buddy buddy guy, I just don't know if this will work. I mean, it's well known that guys like Tony Dungey, who are not necessarily buddy buddy type, but are thought of as not screaming in your face types, do hire coaches under them that are well known for being screaming in your face types. He thinks it's kind of

needed perhaps. It's just not going to come from me. Because there are different people learn different ways. And maybe that works as a head coach. Because even Belichick wasn't a scream in your face guy. Right, I mean, he would call you out in a meeting, to a degree that I'm not sure I see Shottie doing. Right, if Dak has really got sloppy footwork, or whatever it is. I can't see it. I see shoddy doing but right yeah, Dak is Really got sloppy footwork or whatever it is. I can't see it you would yeah You would hear that Belichick would call out Tom Brady. Yeah, and that the mutual respect that they had

You know Brady would take it and Brady would realize what this is really doing. It's Getting everybody else that's in this meeting on the to kind of sit up straight like oh my god. He can go at anyone. Yeah. So I'm gonna play a little bit of audio from Cowboys OTAs. This is Marist Leofoud, their third round pick from last year, defensive tackle. Okay, we'll try this Blake. I don't know which one it's going to come through, but we'll just, we're going to back up computer here. This is, you hear the first question.

It's not playing on either one. It's not playing on either one. Awesome. What do you think here Blake? Do you think we should just try the headphone one? Or throw it in the drop box. I'll throw it. I'll play it.

What's your audacity source over there? Would you like me to play some Schottenheimer audio? Yeah, you leading up to this because this also is my brand new segment. I want to debut. It's Schottenheimer audio Shoddy audio. It's a shoddy. Oh, okay. Yes. Okay. This is very good shoddy. Oh for tactical shoddy We're building a base here. So shoddy. Oh Tactical Shadi, we're building a base here. So Shadi-o, let's see, with Shadi, we're learning who he is and what he likes to do.

This is not gonna be the, he just had a press conference the other day, they got their mini camps going on, and we're picking up some patterns from Shadi. One of those is that he will kind of ask a question within an answer. It's like having a, you know, uncle or a grandfather in some cases that you can use as a sounding board, you can use as a mentor, you know, are they gonna be friends? Hell, I hope so. But if they're not, there's experiences that they can.

Okay. What is that? Just that way of. Is that a business school thing? You tell me. We are trying to throw the best practice in the NFL to date today. And can we do that? I don't know. We'll see. So 2024 is over. Now it's 2025. Are we going to win the Superbowl this year? I hope. I think we are. Why? So he's asked about,

you talk about what do we know about this guy? He's fired up. He's enthusiastic. My comp here, cause I've been around a little while, is that I remember when Dave Campo took over. Oh yeah. Oh my gosh, the enthusiasm is through the roof. That was one of the things. You were leaving this Chan Galey, boring guy.

My God. Dave Campo is fired up. He's running around. He's doing this. The energy Dave Campo has. up. He's running around. He's doing this the energy Dave Campo has it's anyway Brian Schottenheimer was asked about The parts of practice that the media can see

He's running around here to here. He's going to position group. He's he's really fired up Well, it's actually funny that you asked me that question Well it's actually funny that you asked me that question and I'll answer and the reason I smile is the way we practice and the way that I act at practice my father is looking down from heaven going what are you doing? So this is another pattern we're picking up on. Yeah let's reference old Marty. He will bring up Marty. My dad. In almost every press conference And if that if your resume kind of is your dad you might you got to play the hits kind of have to do it Yeah, it's not like he's got this long resident earth these all these great things He's done apparently by the way also st. Peter not requiring a Super Bowl ring

My father is looking down from heaven going what are you doing? Like that's not how you. Ghost tour. Looking down from heaven going what are you doing? Like that's not how you practice. But my father also coached a long time ago and the type of athletes and type of young men that we're dealing with has changed. I believe that it's the coach's responsibility first and foremost to create a great practice environment. What do I mean by that? What do you mean by that?

If we don't have energy and we're not into it and we're not running around and we're not talking, then the players aren't gonna be able to do that. Because they're going to follow our lead. And when we show them that we're Going to let our personality shine and we're going to be who we are and be joyful out of practice And they're going to do that. What are we doing a drag show? Well, we're gonna let our personalities really sing out there I don't know

This is very hard for me because I know that this is the sort of stuff that people say when they have no substance. I think what I would say reminded me of that and what I really fell for that was my years in Seattle. I think I've talked to you guys a little bit about Pete. I mean, I remember Pete being... You guys know him, right? You guys remember? I know him too and stuff. He'll go on to talk about how Pete Carroll was all fired up at practice, and that's kind of who he's taking that from. It's really the only guy he's ever referenced that he's taken stuff from, because I

think it's the highest position he's ever had before. And that was like a decade ago. And then my final shotty thing just, Micah's not there. And I guess Shoddy early on made it a big point to say, oh, I've talked to all the people, I'm having dinner. I had dinner with CD, I had dinner with Micah, we love to eat and all this. And everybody's on board with everything

and one of the things Shottie talked to Micah about at dinner is he needs him to step up and be a leader. We need you to be more of a leader now. People are following you. There's no more DeMarcus Lawrence here. You're looking for that big contract. This is the time for you. And I think one of the things he said

was you need to be present. OK. So I don't know what you think that means but Brian Schottenheimer is going to explain now Micah the fact that he's not there Physically, he's not physically there Yeah, I mean again being present doesn't necessarily mean being here all the time. Oh, OK. That's fantastic. Yeah. Good. Because I was wondering what that meant.

So when you alert your wife that you'll be present at the birthday party this Saturday or whatever. What does that mean, really? Yeah, can I be? Ment'm mentally I'm thinking about it. Play this for her when you don't show up. Yeah, I mean, again, being present doesn't necessarily mean being here all the time. Doesn't mean necessarily having to practice.

It means being present, being around the guys. I mean, we all don't see the things that some of these guys do away from here. There's a lot of work being done away from here, whether it's with other players in the NFL, our guys, things like that. And again, the thing that I know about Mike is, Mike wants to be here.

He's excited about what we're building. He's been a big proponent of that. And you can lead a lot of different ways. And this is a business. And they're working through the business part of this deal. But again, everything I've asked him to do, everything that I've required, no different than everybody that's here, he's been great with. And so that gets me excited and I'm a big fan of Micah.

That's awesome. Should he have said that? He sounds like- What do you mean? He sounds like he's just doing PR. Is he being present? I mean, kinda, I mean, he's around, he's playing ping pong, he's just doing PR. Is he being present? I mean, kinda. I mean, he's around, he's playing ping pong, he's at paintball. Is he in team meetings?

No. Is he practicing? No. He's not everything he's required to do, though. He's at the lunch. These Zoomers, though, they're not going to come to the office every day. They need a little mixed... A little work from home.

A little work from home after time. Give yourself a little mental break. Now that's a bad bit right there. I mean because once you've used the word present to then have to backtrack and redefine. My wife said to me and said she wanted to have sex with a guy named Brian. I said yes. It was not specific. Here listen to this one.

Now I think we can play this, Blake. This is the first question to Marist Leofau. This is some classic story hunting. Damnit. I was playing for your computer. Yeah, you walked over here. And it looked good. You don't have anything plugged into the output.

This one. Alright. Here we go. Okay, we got it. Sweet. Listen, listen very closely. Have you had a head coach that wears a backward visor in practice before?

That's not... Is that fun? This is what we're doing. Are backwards visors fun? I don't know. I don't understand why, like, if... Do they lead to victories? You know, Dan Quinn had a backwards hat

and we were like, this guy is racy as hell what we're doing this guy's pushing the envelope but a visor interesting you had a head coach that wears a backward visor in practice before no no this is my first one I can't think he thought there's gonna be a big reaction and laugh play that again Clayton is pointing out to me there's a background sound you need to pay attention to. Oh, we're going to hear the background sound the whole time. OK. And it will be a topic.

Have you had a head coach that wears a back advisor in practice before? No, this is my first one. Yeah. What do you make of his coaching style? I mean, I love it. That's his personality. I love that he is who he is.

Also, I mean, you're looking for a quote, but you already know the quote. So you have the story written, but I'll ask him to be official. Again, that's a question that there's no other answer. What do you think of your brand new coach's coaching style? Pussay, this guy sucks. Yeah, your playing time is dependent upon what this guy thinks of you.

Yeah. So go ahead. Give your honest opinion here. I get it. But there are more of these, because they have a story to write. And that ping pong table is just sitting there. Can I have that swagger and just brings it to the table every day.

Yeah, you love that from a head coach is showing you who they are and showing you that they're ready to work and that they're going to show up to work and have that energy to get better. Can't you feel it? Yeah, no, I hate when you have those coaches that don't show up to work though. Yeah, how many times have I you know been on a team where we just barely see the Okay again now the athlete is tired of it you've already asked me three different versions of how does it feel Yeah to get better Just How How different does it feel? Just like what do you mean? I mean just from like a micro-match to what?

I mean I feel like the players from the players standpoint at least like running to the ball there's a lot more energy emphasis on running to the ball getting to the football as a defense and attacking the ball really emphasizing takeaways

BINGO! We are the only team this year out of 32 that will be emphasizing turnovers. I've never heard that from the Cowboys before either, yeah. This is weird. This is great. ...been a big topic. What do you think this ping pong... Okay, yeah. Let's ask about it. ...and things like that.

The culture's been a big topic. What do you think this ping-pong table and the other changes like that are bringing? Yeah, all right, so obviously you know now that's the story That's why we have to keep asking about this It's the same guy asking right and this is why you can go talk to Maris Leofau for five minutes to get four questions And now you can write the story because Dax not gonna sit here and answer these questions not like this Yeah not going to sit here and answer these questions. Not like this. Yeah. It's making me a better ping pong player for sure. OK.

Good. Excellent. So we made a third round pick a better ping pong. Coming out of Notre Dame. Mel Kuyper's weakness. Can't play ping pong, folks. Fold. Big 12.

Yeah. It's insane. Can't return a serve. And even Leofowl knows, this is ridiculous. Well, I'm better at ping pong. You know? I mean, it's insane. Camera turn of serve. And even Leofau knows, like, this is ridiculous. What am I supposed to? Well, I'm better at ping pong. You know? I mean, I'm bragging.

It's a fun atmosphere in the locker room. We get to compete against each other on the ping pong table. But something a little fun, just a little fun thing we do between meetings and things like that. Does it kind of make certain guys that might not otherwise interact kind of mix in with each other and go closer? Now we have your angle. That's also leading the witness here.

Of course. Maris Leofau said that guys are interacting that they wouldn't before. Right. You know the drill. Like it's the blood and crit picture holding the two bandanas together. Offense and defense, look at us go.

Yeah, it's just Doron Blant and Jake Ferguson. The finger sniff now after every made field goal. Holy shit, dude. That would be great. If we got him a made field goal celebration. If, dude, could we, what's the fine? First of all, CD would pay it. First of all, you know CD would pay it if he did the sniff.

Brandon Aubrey's fine. If he hit a big game winning kick and hit that young tux, it would break the internet. Break it. I left one more answer in here for you. Just funny to me. It's not really about Shottie. Right now, probably Juanye. Oh yeah, so they asked him like,

hey, who's the best ping pong player? You know, that's a generic question you gotta ask. Um, right now, probably Juanye, yeah. What'd you work on this off season, about you individual? Just kind of flippantly, what'd you work on? Okay. My backhand. Oh no, no, what'd you work on? Okay. My backhand.

Oh no, no, no, you were talking about football. Me individually, I worked on, I think I worked on my speed the most, just doing a lot more sprints than I would usually do. Cool. That's just the ping pong in the background. Can't write that story. He did some sprints. And then yeah, it's all Deuce Vaughn was asked about. I think I got a little bit of him.

And the energy that he brings inside that from just the immediate, as soon as we get to going, even the team meetings this year, man, we've implemented the basketball into our... You're damn right we did. Good God! It's because of the FaceTime on the computer we're struggling today. Yeah, Deuce immediately. What's it like? Well we have basketball....into our team meetings and stuff like that. Do you think you'll be better on the flag football team than you are on this team? He just has to hang on in the NFL until 28. For the, now going into my third year, him being the offensive coordinator, his lights always shine through.

And I have this whole bunch of stories that I could tell, but man, just understanding that the way that he goes about on the football field inside this building might be even more. Let me just follow up on that. Energy is kind of a, it's a cliche term. I don't know how to define that. How would you define what that energy is? Good question. I'd say somebody that you can tell it's not for, somebody that loves his game, loves these guys inside his locker room, and he's just being himself every single day.

So, at a minimum, he is not being forced to have one of the most elite jobs in the world that pays him $5 million a year. He actually is happy about it. He's pretty psyched about it, pretty pumped. Okay. That's what we know about him. But yeah, we're going to probably track this throughout camp and off season. Dude, camp is going to be, there's going to be water guns and... Oh my gosh.

Because you know, like camp already is, there's a bit expectation. Whether it's mojo moments, whether it's Jason Garrett taking them to the beach, and Joe Randall diving in face first. Yeah. You take this energy out to California and camp and everything, it's going to be a, you know, they'll have like a car wash. Can I call something?

At some point in camp, Schottenheimer will run along the fences high-fiving people. Oh, man. And I'll be right there I'll be right there doing the shotty sign. Yeah, that's what I want the whole crowd Whole crowd doing that or pumping the shotty after every three and out one more NFL note for me Is a bad bit or is it you guys rule okay? From the Chiefs. We have signed Dustin Kolkwit to a one day contract.

Oh my god. He will officially retire. Who? The picker? The Kansas City Chief. The punter? Congrats on a well earned retirement. Yes, the punter. Who apparently was with the Chiefs.

I remember that name, but he's there a long time. His dad was an NFL punter as well, which I always found fascinating. Like, could you just make or does he, is he born with this, you know, certain muscles in his leg and genetically that has passed on to his son? Or could you? I feel much more comfortable saying that about Dustin Colquitt than you do a wide receiver or something. No, I mean, yeah.

But great athlete probably has a great athlete kid. But punter, I'd never considered to be a great athlete. Only two Pro Bowls and last punted in 2021 He hasn't even been on in the league for five. Yeah, what are we doing here? Buddy signing a one-day contract. This is Morgan Spurlock Okay, remember I ever was in the league Sebastian Janikowski was with the Raiders for 17 seasons I'm trying to find if he retired at one day

Well, was he ever elsewhere he played one year with the Seattle Seahawks. Okay. Well, I hope he didn't cuz he's like that's stupid What's the difference? Oh my gosh. I forgot he played played for the Seahawks in 2019, the year that the Cowboys beat the Seahawks in the wild card round of the playoffs when Brian Schottenheimer's offense put up like three points. Well. I was at that game. He was drafted in the third round. Janikowski?

Colquitt. Oh my gosh. A punter. Janikowski was Kolkwit. Oh my gosh. Janikowski was the first rounder. Yeah. They did score 22. A third round pick for a punter. No, that's hilarious. I guess what I'm working towards is

I feel like right now Brandon goes to another team for your, he retires as a cowboy. No doubt. Brandon? Yeah. He's never going anywhere. Let's get Cole. I know that for sure. Elsewhere in sports, a Mavs note,

Mark Stein has reported that the Knicks who fired their head coach,bs Thibbs are interested in Jason Kidd yeah I saw this and our friend our friend Jamison who is here today reminded me by saying you think Carlisle wrote another letter of recommendation like he did when kid was hired by the Mavericks. However. No, this guy's great. You should definitely hire him.

According to Mark Stein. To be smooth. There is a however. The Mavericks would be expected to decline any requests to speak with him because he has two years left on his deal. And that is sad. You have the chance here, Tommy Boy. Let him go.

Get rid of those two. You probably don't have to trade the number one pick and Anthony Davis for Luca. Although. Can you just please stop? I just want to ask this though. Okay. What did the Lakers say to that offer?

Probably yes. It probably doesn't take both. I don't know. What do we think the Lakers say yes? Flag for Luca? Just straight up. No, they wouldn't do that. They wouldn't do that. They wouldn't do that.

You think they'd take, do you think they'd do both? Yeah, of course they would. They would have their future star and they would still be good and they could get LeBron's butt buddy back. His impractical joker friend. But no, I don't know. It would be strange if they moved on from kid,

but not Harrison. But I also don't really care that much I Saw a note that I wanted to share with you You know, we I feel like for 20 years now. We've been doing the is baseball dying thing And they've taken different measures from marketing to how the you know speed of the game, etc So when we mentioned just like when they're doing terribly, I did see this known, it's seen this a few times over the last year,

that baseball ratings and attendance are way up. Like the measures they put in place, anecdotally for me, they work. Like I'm watching a lot more baseball now, and partly it's because there's no Mavericks and it's summer and I want to be into sports But it has a lot to do with how quick the game moves. I Mean it is it's a very different experience. So They've seen Fox is up 10%

Overseas viewership ship is up quite a a bit but that doesn't mean much. But platforms like MLB TV and MLB Network Showcase Game Telecast have been up over 10 percent. The attendance numbers, like I said, are up. I wonder if gambling has anything to do with it. Because they've done a good job of the hires and lowers and reworking how it operates. You're not just betting on spreads and on sport. That's a good point because in the front office sports article about it, it's a 2% increase, which is, you know, we'll take a 2% increase every month.

From last year in attendance, this article attributes it to the baseball has done more of what the NBA's done in trying to get stars together in primeetime games. So your judges and Otanis, but that's cause they don't want to say, Hey, this is cause of gambling. It probably is.

Again, anecdotally. You know, I mean, I've heard people give the opinion that the new way that they're getting metrics from ratings is a bit skewed and you don't know if you can even trust it. Okay, but then that's where you get the question of if it's skewed and you can't trust it, is it skewed and you can't trust it more or less

than what you had before? It's the good enemy, a perfect thing, because we know that TV ratings based on Nielsen, again, this is not a shot at the ticket. It makes a lot of sense there, and you have a cowboy game and it'll do a huge number, but on the edges, the sample sizes are tiny. And I've had people emailing me,

people who seem to know saying, this is going to change. There will be an AI element to your device your whatever and there we go but for now I don't know it seems like baseball is having a bigger deal a bigger moment right now than it was five years ago and there's some numbers to back that up. Did you see So I thought it was kind of funny I guess I didn't save it because it was just kind of funny but the There was a Twitter thing going around with it was like the last 30 days

The Scotty Scheffler had three wins and the Colorado Rockies had one. Or maybe it was even zero. There's something like that. So that was floating around. Well at least the Rockies social media person is having fun with it because now they have wins since June 2nd. The Rockies just had a sweep. Wow. To go to 10 and 50?

Rockies fans are having sweep sacks. No, I think they're like 13 and 15. Like they've just won three in a row. And so they put out on their Twitter, Colorado wins since June 2nd, Colorado Rockies three, Scotty Scheffler zero. Okay. OK. I like that bit. Man, have you seen all the one year ago today snapshots

from May 30th for local sports? Was it like Luca draining a three or something? It was the Rangers at that point were actually only three games out of first. One year ago today? It was May 30th. That's not that impressive to be. No, but they were coming off a World Series.

And you're like, OK, who knows? They were in first the week before. The Stars were tied 2-2, conference finals. Mavericks had just beaten Minnesota. Cowboys were coming off of 12 and 5. Oh, OK, it's that type of. Yeah. Like, where was your sports feelings?

Right now, like 53 weeks ago, you're like, oh my god, we have a team in the finals, a team in the conference finals, a team that, bad luck in the playoffs, they just went 12 to 5. This is like the greatest sports city to live in America. The World Series. And right now, the Rangers have the worst offense in the modern era.

Their coach basically only knows how to take you like wakeboarding in Frisco. I think the stars are probably firing their coach. And the Mavs are the Mavs. I think the stars won't fire their coach. Because I don't think our original Tommy boy, Gillardi, Gillardi wants to pay a guy not to coach. It's always a factor.

I do think they are tight with that. But I'm talking out of my ass there. I don't really know it all. But Jim Nill also doesn't really respond to public this or that. It feels like Jim Nill does what Jim Nill feels is right. I didn't think there was any chance they'd move on from DeBoer until he started making really kind of out-of-pocket comments about his goalie. And it seems like there's some discourse internally.

Just not just the pulling of Otenger, but just how decisions were made during the Western Conference final. There were some weird ones. OK. We'll keep an eye on that. You bet we will. Let's do some viewer mail.

Brought to us by Fairlease. Fairlease.org. That is, oh, I was just talking to Travis from Community Mechanical the other day. You know, they've leased a vehicle for their fleet. They're leasing another vehicle right now. In fact, Fair Lease is working with them to buy out their DNM lease. Wow. And Travis fired. Well Travis says the Fair Lease deal is so good that buying it out would

be you know really beneficial to him in the long run. And then he was also saying that if you if you yourself out there own a business or know someone that they have really great rates for the business leases. I don't know, he had a word for it, the business lease. You have a company and you need a couple of trucks or something, or if you need 100, fair lease is the way to go. Yeah, I mean, I think the word is just fair. OK.

It's going to be fair. Fairlease.org. Also, Tex mean, I think the word is just fair. OK. You know, it's just going to be fair. FairLease.org. Also Texan. They are Texans helping Texans. They are affiliated with the Credit Union to Texas. Like Dan said, they can help you with business, personal, they'll deliver it right to your doorstep.

You can do all this online by going to FairLease.org. Click Request a Quote, then select the dumb zone on the How Did You Hear About Us page. It is FairLease.org Oh yeah wait a minute I got some bangers today now you don't have to only email me but I did get an email from someone who says I only know the bracket Dan email address but I want to send this to Blake are our emails not published anywhere? What's your deal, Blake? Uh, they're in our YouTube bio, they're on Patreon, I guess because they're not every

single place on the internet that people can't find them. He is messy. He didn't shave. He thought he was doing audio today. Is he wearing sweatpants? No, these are like action pants. Oh, those are more actiony. Oh those are more action II okay? You do yeah, I'm not expecting video when we go to Fox. He looks a little sexier. Yeah, don't forget We're on TV tomorrow my boy Just you two will be on TV you're not on No, I don't I don't think so people no I don't think Of course he's been invited? It's the dumb zone with Dan and Jake.

Of course he's been invited. He's doing a Blake bit here. The table's too small. Yeah, well. Anyway, that one, David wanted me to send this to Blake. An anchor word, anchor phrase. Okay. Connotation.

Jake started this. Connotation. Boy, nobody's doing positive connotation. Negative connotation. Yeah, that's really good. That is a good point. I mean, I'm sure I've heard it, but not often. Natty directs something at Jake. Bring it.

But he addresses me as H-U-I-C, head unc in charge. OK. You are unc, just like Dak. He didn't like your show on Tuesday. He didn't like your performance. He said, no issues with Jake's no fish sandwich stance, but let's not act like he's never had a breaded chicken sandwich Yeah, Tim was asking me about that this morning, and I don't get a condiment on it I

Dipped the condiment right so I lay out like a flight sure six sauces yep But I don't have them serve me the sandwich with sauce on it, ever. See what I'm saying? So I do the same thing, yes. Says, ain't no way Jake was bricked up watching that scene on how to train your dragon. Yeah, I heard that from a couple people.

Felt really horny. Felt bad about it. Is it only me? Yeah, no. It was a big L for me he says Jake this is also Jake great but he's gonna attack someone else on the show to throwing stars or Japanese not Chinese I okay dude I'm very confused by that I would have always thought it's called a Chinese throwing star no yeah I don't

know I don't know okay I don't know. OK. He says, when you all go two versus one against Blake, his indifference is something to Marvel. And regarding Henry's birthday, intern Henry, who gave us a, who did he say was with Paige? Becker's? Becker's. Jalen Suggs.

He says, Suggs is with Haley Van Lyth wrong white girl. That's from Natty That's right. Okay. Well, you should have known that You're all about the hey, you're all This night of a joke. He is always talking about Haley van Lyth and I only have one more So if you have wanna uh, I got one from Joel He is a Brit DF

And he took not took issue But we were telling the story somebody emailed and asked me to tell the story of the big jerkface Brit I met in Spain Who was licking an ice cream? I can't remember if I put that part in the story, but it's true something extremely condescending about saying excuse me why you look at ice cream I Basically was effed from the jump in that interaction, but he's like excuse me you come all this way to eat McDonald's and I was man

So Joel says regarding recording is no regarding your story about the Brit who insulted you in Spain. I'm a Brit Regarding your story about the Brit who insulted you in Spain. I'm a Brit And an American this is something that annoys me He basically says the reason is the average Brit and European thinks they're more worldly Because they can drive a couple hours or go on a two-hour flight, and they're in 20 different countries, so they think that He says they don't consider if you live in the US similar flight won't even take you out of your state in some cases He says the average Brit goes to Spain for their vacation But richer Brits go to the Alps for skiing which is hardly culture

He's saying let's not act like all Brits are just traveling because they want to see how the world was created and like You're gonna go to the McDonald's to you they hold just when you have that accent though it implies that you have some culture it does and I think they know that that's why they throw them on documentaries and stuff yeah that's the only reason those people still are employed he says every every country has their clowns I'm sorry you met one from my homeland. Okay. Good dude. Is it? I want to do... let's see... Oh, there's apparently a documentary about that King George guy from the Wren Fair. And it's also apparently not the same as Scarborough Fair, which is a Wren Fair.

But the guy who had run Texas Renaissance Fair passed away at 87. And when I say, can you do Sue passed away for Suey? It doesn't feel like it. No. He's no longer living. We are getting woke on talking about somebody dying. Yeah. You don't hear a lot of, oh, did you hear who croaked?

Yeah. Anymore. It used to be a little more straightforward. Now you got to figure out. What did you say? Wait, oh. Right. So, a few people pointed out.

He's gone to rest. He's gone to rest. Really? So the carnival man went to rest at his own hand, but there's a documentary on HBO, a three-part series about his battle to keep power. And it looks really interesting. We did a new story the other day involving I believe an 18 or 19 year old kid who had done something really dumb and I was saying there should be a legal status

for males maybe females I don't know, but males between 18 and 24, that's in between juvenile and adult, because your brain is nowhere close to fully developed at 18 years old from your risk assessment, right? We all know this. So rather than just making it a cutoff of it's A to B, at that middle zone where you have a lot of freedom but not a fully developed brain, we should treat that differently.

This is my campaign. And Michael points out to me that in the UK they have a recorded manner of death that is death by misadventure. So that's like a- Does that mean bungee jumping or? Yeah. Yeah, so- Your high T, you think you can do it all. Right.

You'll never die and then- Yeah, and I would imagine this applies too if you try that and it's just, yeah, if you live, like and they'll record it as it's just, yeah, if you live, like, and they'll record it as, it's not a suicide, but they do make some distinction of, I guess of... It's also saying it's kind of your fault. It's saying it's kind of your fault. But it's not a suicide.

Yeah. Like you were doing something that... Could kill you. Could kill you. Should kill you. You're scaling the mountain without a Yeah climbing guy a drug overdose is ruled this okay So something to look into Len bias died from a heart attack From induced by cocaine. Yeah, but but it a heart attack, the official cause of death.

So we were talking the other day about the coyote issue. There was another one up in Frisco. It seems like every week you get the coyote or a baby getting his face eaten. Michael just read a book called Coyote America about coyotes. Okay. Why? I don't plan to read it. He says he highly recommends it

But he's guilty as charged with the coyote facts and why humans will not eventually just kill them off He says humans have been crucial to coyote diaspora. How do you say that word? I've always said I said diaspora diaspora Nobody knows Humans are crucial to coyotes. They eat our junk and our pets The reason that damn near all of North Carolina is coyote country now is because they've spread alongside us But here's the more interesting one The females Have a sense to how many new coyotes can handle

This ecosystem or I guess how many the ecosystem can handle this ecosystem, or I guess how many of the ecosystem can handle coyotes. And they will birth an appropriate number of pups for that landscape. And when it gets crowded, they stop having babies. Interesting, so like their body knows, kinda like. Yeah. Yeah. You know, well, many of us know, like don't, you're not home yet, don't go to the bathroom

in your pants, but once you get inside your house, you're like, you just can't stop. Yeah, yeah, something like that. Because this, and this guy says scientists don't know how they do this, and then he emailed me back and his question was just, what if it's piss? Meaning they can smell the piss. That actually makes sense that female coyotes would be able to smell female coyotes and know this place is full. He says, as you being the guy who woke me up to the amount of bug piss everywhere, I thought this mailed some sway with you. And that was one of my contributions to science, there's bug piss everywhere.

Think about it. Walk around in your yard with your sandals off. I did that the other day because I thought about getting back into grounding. Yeah. How do you feel? Grounding update. I think I feel pretty good.

Yeah? It was a nice day out. I thought let's go ahead and walk in the backyard. And that's when I I reached back out to remember our grounding friends. Oh, yeah. Daniel and Lana to see what kind of grounding shoes he got, because I think I'm going to think I'm going to buy them at least for the the house, the neighborhood. Yeah. All right. Let's just walk around this area

with my grounding shoes, because I don't like to walk in what you term bug piss. But think about it. Yeah, it's, yeah. Secretions, things of this nature. Well then, think about your dog who rolls in that yard. And then comes and lays on my. Lays on your bed, your pillow.

Does not lay on my bed. You don't let the dog up? Does not lay on my pillow, don't even really let the dog on the couch. You're that guy, huh? Your dog is giant. Yeah. Yeah, plus got puss leaking out of it. That was a long time ago More than a week people don't forget And my last one is from hammer. So saroi was with us last week and he brought up the absurdity That with all this modern technology

He brought up the absurdity that with all this modern technology, not only can we not fix a horse's bones, but we still just have dangling colored lights to tell us when it's our turn to drive the car. So Hammer says, got me thinking about what a beating waiting in lines is. I propose a solution for any sort of bar or amusement park etc. For example, Katy trail ice house So when you don't have to wait you get a good table a nice day It's the best place to hang out in Dallas, but when the weather is nice everyone knows If you're not on site by 1130, you got an hour or more wait his solution Installing a CCTV or live feed outside of these like heavily heavily

traffic locations and bars and you just go to Katie trails website and Start to get a feel For what's the line like right now? You don't want to call you ever call a place like that You see how pissed off they get what's the wait for four? They're like death But if there was a camera outside, and you're like, oh, how crowded is it up there right now? You could just see. It's not fail safe.

By the time you get there, there you go. And I think people have tried this, like Squarespace. Not Squarespace, but something. Yeah, there have been ideas. But just have it right there. Like when you go to Google Maps, even have been I wake up, but just to have it on the have it right there like you know when you go to Google Maps even have it. Mm-hmm. It's fire camera. What's going on now? Okay, I like it that Talking about that waiting in lines waiting in lines that feels like a gummy thought so let's make that brought to us by

early bird CBD Got an email to I guess did you delete it, Blake, from the show email account, where a guy, he, I guess he clicked on your link. You put a link in the show notes the other day about how to protest some current laws that could be enforced here in Texas as far as CBD is concerned, or texas as far as uh... cbd is concerned excuse me as far as t h c is concerned but he said that he wanted to write a letter

and actually send the letter and where could he send that letter so do we have that information and could we share that with people that is how i will start by telling you that uh... early bird cbd is our cbd is that t h c in approach great if you said the cost the letter That is how I will start by telling you that early bird CBD is our CBD. It's got THC in it, bro. It's great. If you send us the letter, we will send it

to where it needs to go. So is there a website you want to give for that? Well, if you want to email it to us, thedumbzoneatgmail.com. I've already flipped one to Eric. There you go. OK. I've got two, not necessarily gummy thoughts, but email. Kind of say that while it is still OK to buy. Give their website their website and stuff dumb zone before you start early bird CBD jumping right here with your emails

Use the code dumb zone unless you've already used the code dumb zone then use DZ 20 and you'll get 20% off at early bird CBD calm and listen It works. There's a reason it's in the news, folks. Yeah. Go ahead, Blake. During last week's handoff on Friday, what? He just doesn't understand advertising at all. Could you tell my story? Well, I haven't since an opportunity to work in. I don't, what do you want me to do?

Your exorbitant salary is paid for by these people. And thank you to Early Bird CBD. Promo code DZ20. All right, go ahead. We're all on the edge of our seat to hear what you have. Just kidding. During the handoff last Friday, somebody wrote in that it's impossible to just get a simple recipe.

Every page either has like 70 hits that you have to do or they tell you their life story. Apparently Brett tells us that there's a website called justtheresepy.com where you add your URL in afterwards and it will just take the, I guess, just the text. Okay, so there's a guy, I think he works on a PC, so it's all Microsoft, I think he works on a PC, so it's all Microsoft, I think, but there's a guy on on Twitter, TikTok, whatever, and it'll be like, thing you didn't know such and

such, number 450, and it's all stuff like that. And you know, I probably remember one of them out of every hundred I see, but they do seem helpful. Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff like that but then what do you do after that now I can just look at it like this well now you have what you went to go get it's just a simple recipe for what you wanted and then the the last thing I received several emails about this but we'll look credit wit along with JR and Matt I noticed that there were a ton of Cardinals fans at the Rangers game I was at on Saturday and I don't know if it was the section I was in but I thought I had heard there were a ton of Cardinals fans at the Rangers game, I was at on Saturday. And I didn't know if it was the section I was in,

but I thought I had heard something about a reasoning why there were a lot of Cardinals fans. And he writes in that- Catholics. For a long time of our grandparents' childhood, the Cardinals were the most southeastern team in the United States. And their flagship station, KMOX, would reach a vast majority

of the southwest. I have heard. I said southeast, I meant southwest. Yeah, but the Blue Tours. And so the Cardinals and the Kansas City Athletics were the most Midwestern teams. So this is before the Dodgers. And so he did say that, and because at the time

they had Stan Musial and they were a way better team than the Kansas City Athletics, Jake is right that our generation had the Cubs and the Braves to watch in the early afternoons, but our grandparents' generation listened to the Cardinals on the radio. Interesting.

And that's why there's a big amount of Cardinals fans here. I've heard that about the Browns too. Like the Browns were pretty much America's team before the Cowboys existed. Like Reiner would say that that's what the olds would all, the only team game they would get was the Browns. Yeah. And now with Shadoor.

And now they got Shadoor, it all comes full circle. America's team. Comes full circle. And I got one that's bad beat adjacent. It's not a bad beat. Mark writes, Uncle beef passage. My wife and I recently had our first child last week. My parents came over to give us an afternoon to sleep and relax. Our baby just went down for a nap so we left the video baby baby monitor on the coffee table in front of my parents. We went to

our bedroom. Couldn't fall asleep right away so I said, hey. Asked my wife if she wants to fool around. Our bedrooms on the other side of the house. We weren't worried about the noise. My wife's on top of me. Oh she's dirty talking. Oh no. Maybe even moosing me. All of a sudden she dove off me like she was hit by a sniper bullet. From under the covers, she pointed at the camera on the wall. Although our son was napping in the nursery, he still slept in our room overnight, directly above the crib and pointed directly at our bed was the second camera for the baby monitor.

We keep the video monitor in split screen mode so you can see both cameras at the same time. It was basically broadcasting amateur porn to my parents. Later when I went downstairs the monitor had been turned face down on the coffee table. No! Disapproval! And it looks like my parents couldn't figure out how to turn off the audio oh no my wife is mortified still won't show her face in front of my they know what your wife calls you when you jizz that is absolutely brutal that is that is very tough that but you know what though, to Dan's kink, that's why you're doing it.

Right, and you get, I'll bet those same parents have said, you working on baby number two? Yeah, right. You are asking me basically, am I, you know. If you don't wanna see under the hood, you don't wanna see how the sausage is made. Don't ask how this thing runs. Yeah, so. Yeah.

So. Yeah. That's, that's, that's really tough. I think it would be really hard. Hypothetical. Either you're 20 something, like this dude's age daughter is staying there, or your mom. Which one's more scarring? If all of a sudden you hear the monitor,

you're out in the living room watching Scott Vantel. Now wait a second. And they're staying at your house. Your mom lives with you, but like you have a baby room. It's who sees me? You see them. So I see either my mom doing it. Yep.

Or? A daughter. Mom. I don't want to see daughter. I mean, listen. I don't want to see daughter. I mean, listen. I don't want to see mom either. But if I have to see something fleetingly and then put the monitor down.

Because that's all it's going to be. It's not like these people sat down and watched this. They heard it. They probably saw a few seconds, heard it, were grossed out and freaked out. Do you go mom? Yeah, I guess you do go mom. You absolutely don't want to see your. I've never seen my mom as

a sweet little angel baby in a in a play or a you already had you already kind of know you're like, yeah. Well, mom's mom's a mess. I'll give it a little more effort. I know you got it in you. Yeah. Anyway, do your trick. All right. So let's take a short break here. The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone.

The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. Generic summer event presented by Qualysh Roofing. Thank you. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. Yes indeed. So we're at Mac Grim's house, our DZ RV MVP. I think it's his birthday or something.

Do you know who else will be there? Well Lone Star Beer will be there. I was talking before about how Jerry said they were ordering more Lone Star beer He told Jake a number Jake said double it. He said, okay So there'll be plenty of Lone Star beer on hand. I know my people LoneStar beer calm What's the code because you can get 21% off merch.

Oh, really? Yep You don't have to just go to 101. I think it's 101 126 and there's one in the 300

It's that's a school a scavenger hunt. So yeah All right, so right now We'd like to follow up with Amy. If you remember a couple weeks ago, we had Amy as a sit-in in the den. Cougar Amy. Some would call her Cougar Amy, some might call her Horny Amy,

if you remember listening to her. She gave us some gifts that we could give to our wives, or side pieces. They were vibrators, basically. They were. And it wasn't like it was called a muscle massager, and then your wife just uses it as a vibrator. Like it was labeled.

Not a shower head. This guy's a vibrator. Yeah. It's for down there for making things good. So Amy joins us now. Do we have Amy? We do. Amy?

Do you read me? Yes. Hi, Amy. Hello. Am I going to be forever known as Vibrator Amy? Well, he gave you an option. I think you should. Horny Amy.

I went with Cougar. Lovely Amy. Or Vibrny Amy. I went with Cougar. Lovely Amy. Or vibrator Amy. I don't know. Dildo Amy. So anyway, when you joined us previously, you had indicated that you were without serious commitment currently, right?

Correct. And that you would not be opposed to if somebody reached out and wanted to go on a date you'd be into that absolutely yeah recently did you say this part how recently divorced a couple years two and a half years after a long marriage yeah 30 plus years. But you've already, I guess, what is it metaphorically, just you've broken that cherry again. Like you've already had some relations outside, like it was really weird. You're through that part. Yeah, so it's not like I don't know if anybody wants to jump on the first ride After yeah, no, you're not somebody did. Yeah. Yeah. No, listen

Somebody did somebody has to go to double-a baseball games, too. That's that's not what we're looking at here. You're through that Yes, but Amy's good-looking. She's ready to party. She's DTF as they say and We we know it's on the table. If you go out on a date with Monica Lewinsky, there's an implication here. We're waiting. We know you'll do it. And we know that Amy, in fact, is not a born-again virgin

or anything. She's ready to roll. So no messing around time time man right life is short here taking life is short we're not we're not running the ball the fourth quarter so are you going to the uh dz gscq this week absolutely oh good so the dumb zone generic summer event will feature amy so we got a hold of a guy, we got an email from a guy named Will who indicated an interest in going out on a date with Amy.

And joining us now is Will. Will. Let's say hello to Will. Will, come on down. How we doing? Hi, Will. How are we? Will Will you are interested you heard the episode with Amy on it Correct. Yes You heard her vibe. You heard what she's got going on and this to you you said This sounds like something I'd like to be on board with I like to like a taste yes yes she sounded cool you know

so I said if she wants to go on a date I'm you know I'm down she's very very cool very very kind soul very attractive if people still say that sort of thing well what's your your history you divorced divorced, I hope at least? Yeah, I'm divorced. I'm divorced like ten years ago. So I've been single for since then obviously. I'm 49, I'll be 50 in a few months. Definitely a new date and I'd like to go with Amy if that's a thing. Have you had sex with another lady since your divorce?

Yes, that is correct. OK, just don't want Amy to be shy about this at all. Now, we're all cards on the table here, Will. How old have you gone? Amy doesn't feel like she's that old. She's not old, but I... I'm probably like 55, 54, I guess. Okay.

Higher or lower, Amy? Oh, I'm higher. I told you on the video how old I was, so... Oh, what'd you say? 64. Okay. So, Will's kind of young. Or maybe I'm kind of old for Will.

You could kind of show this guy the ropes though, you know So you heard that which I didn't apparently yeah, but you heard the age and this is fine with you will you're like yes I'm on board with this Yeah, for sure. Why not? Yes this crazy bitch I was just reading what was in his mind. This is not in my mind. Yes. Can you give us, we've already said, Amy, she's nice looking. She's very nice looking. You'll be surprised that when you see her, she's 64?

Wow, they're making 64-year-olds different these days. So. Like Chris Berman. Exactly like Chris Berman. Yes. That's exactly right. What kind of dimensions are we working with for you, Will? Height, weight? Can you give us that? Yeah, I'm 6'2",

I weigh about 220, I believe. Oh, that's sturdy as fuck, bro. Yeah, this guy's... Yeah, that's a rock. I'd climb up there. Is this exciting to you, Amy? Just hearing that, Amy? Yeah, that's a rock. I'd climb up there. That's it. That's it. This is, uh, is this exciting to you, Amy? Just hearing that, Amy? Just the fact that he's a deserter is good to me. There you go. Yeah, it's the personality that matters. How's your head of hair?

Pretty full. Pretty full. Yeah, I'm no, um, I'm lucky enough to not have any hair loss. So I'm good, I'm good. Beard guy? Yes, definitely I got a mustache, but every now and then I have the beard. But yeah. So you go unironic mustache. There's no irony. Did we ask what line of work you're in, Will?

Yeah, that's not a problem. I am a quality assurance tech for a large convenience store company. Okay. So I do a lot of preventive maintenance type work, you know. Yeah, very familiar with PM. All right, well, Amy, does this sound could we keep you guys apart and you will not see each other visually until we bring you both up on stage at the DZGSE? Sure I'm down here. Yeah. OK. This is fantastic. This is a meet-cute. This is it. This is a meet-cute. Dude, yeah, this is going to be great.

We're like a few months away from Will sitting over in the corner during an interview with Amy. And Will's like, we're not talking about that. Yeah, who knows? I mean, who knows where this leads? You go through me if you want to get to Amy. All right, well, we will see you both. Well, I guess I never even asked Will.

I was being awful presumptuous there. Yeah. I'm just assuming you'll go to the event. Well, if he wants to get laid on Saturday night, he'll show up. Yeah. Yeah. I think I'm free. I think I'm free now.

All right. I don't know if she works that quick, but who knows? I don't know. It's 2025, man. Okay. I'm an old-fashioned guy. I want to do a little courting. I'd like to get to know her a little bit first. Yeah. I'll get to know each other. Alright, guys. Well, we appreciate you. This has been a lot of fun. See you all Saturday.

Alright. Looking forward to it. See you there. Bye. See you there. Alright. Bye. See you there. Alright. Bye. There they go. Now what I want to know is how is it possible that our gallery here has like a pretty strong negative reaction to the concept of somebody being in quality assurance for a large convenience

store chain. It was like somebody brought up the Philadelphia Eagles, everyone was like, no, fuck that, boo. It did get booed. What is happening? I don't know. Convenient store change it was like somebody brought up the Philadelphia Eagles. I was like no What is happening? I don't know It's really weird. I don't know. I do know this that I made a Play last night. Oh So did I on our underdog fantasy site? Let's see. I put it in there so you could take a look at it. It is, I made a pick. I went, so what you do is you take two different players at

least, or you can you can go five players, you can go ten players, whatever, but you kind of pick higher or lower on a variety of different stats. You can pick the stat. I picked points for Shay versus Tyrese Halliburton tonight Shay 33.5 points I went lower because I'm trying to root against him good and Tyrese Halliburton 17.5 points I went higher so keep that in mind when you're watching this game if if if you're your good friend Dan here is a victor tonight Yeah, and I'm doing this for MLB the Rangers are bound to get a hit at some point So I've been taking the overs excuse me the hires on their hit

Here's that's all just because apparently it's illegal to have earnestly Pretty up my ass Let's see here Dan A news story just came across the news desk and that is the arrest of former Dallas Cowboys Hershel Walker no Who? across the news desk, and that is the arrest of former Dallas Cowboys? Hershel Walker. No. Who? Ramon.

Think more you would expect this. Tony Dorsey. And it's someone who played in the last 10 years. You're thinking in the right direction. Sam Hurd, no, Sam Hurd. He's dead. Foutan full of machine guns. Greg Hardy.

Greg Hardy was arrested in Richardson. This happened. Stuck around town. This happened I think yesterday. Assault of causing bodily injury to a family member. Was it embezzling or fraud? Mental injury? No.

Bodily injury. No, yeah, he wouldn't just kinda't just kind of nagging them a little bit It kind of sounds like got a rads in the NHL though. What is upper body? Yeah, we're not gonna be specific this is like a very new story, so I don't have much on it, but you know, there's a funny thing where he does MMA and When you're a guy like that that a lot of people don't like there's a I've seen this undercurrent of MMA people They just really like watching him get his face beat in and he gets beat up a lot Same thing with like I think there's a fighter who's been maybe a little out there with the anti-semitism

And like he was getting his face pounded the other day by some guy who was just yelling free Palestine at him It's very tough to take political stances when you're like in the combat game, you know Like real you're gonna have to that's not fun But Hardy yeah, that was a crazy one man as we ride the roller coaster of where are we on the sign bad guys? Cowboy one-year deal. Yeah signed bad guys. Cowboys. One year deal. Yeah.

Balled out. Did he play well here? Yes. And then he never played again, right? Yeah. Did he go somewhere for just a bit? Man, I don't think so. Had an altercation in practice while he was here.

And had to call the cops. Was arrested in Richardson for possession of controlled substance in 2016. Yeah. Big weekend. If you're looking to get yourself a little paid poon, as due to a court ruling, the Dallas Police Department has had to issue a statement, says it is temporarily

pausing enforcement of the city's prostitution ordinance. They announced that? Yeah. Why? Okay let's go. Yeah so it is. Or is this just a red herring? So it's not necessarily a red herring but the statement says the department remains committed to enforcing all laws. This ruling does not restrict officers from other methods of investigating and forcing prostitution. So what you're talking about here is some of the stuff that we've mentioned of like how is that not entrapment? Some of the more they go get you, they're saying that might actually be unconstitutional

per Texas court. But I do wonder what compels them to announce that that's off the table. Maybe because this court whacked their PP and said you got to. Yeah. That this was illegal, and if you don't want us to keep following up about it, let people know you're not.

That makes sense. We talked the other day about the death of John Redcorn or the man who voiced John Redcorn from King of the Hill, Jonathan Joss. We knew that it was a shooting in San Antonio. What I did not know is that Jonathan Joss, AKA John Redcorn, had a husband and that they lived in an area where they

were being harassed constantly over their life choices. And John Redcorn's husband posted on social media and spoke to local media about it saying like, they definitely targeted us because they were gay. They had a home that they had moved out of because the harassment had gotten so bad and they were going back to try to clean up the home and found like their dog's skull. Classic hate crime comedy, hijinks, you know?

Yeah, cutting off a dog's head. So I thought you were gonna come out with like, oh, this guy was really bad. Yeah, so cutting off a dog's head, so I Thought you were gonna come out with like this guy was really bad or Doesn't the internet do that which one's worse if they if it comes out there like oh? Because yesterday it was like I was a misunderstanding and this guy got shot Now it's like well actually he's a death by hate crime, but that still seems better to me than hear his old tweets. Should a hate crime, is a hate crime kind of like the different officiating in the first quarter than the fourth? Like isn't the thing is the thing?

Yeah, I mean, I know that we've had this conversation. All lives. Before. Matter type thing, right? But it depends on your opinion on this. And it's a pretty serious topic. But it's like, do you put any weight or value in law enforcement in the idea that some crimes are more

geared towards causing more crimes? Like if I go kill Matt, there's no expectation on my end that Clayton will kill someone else because of that. But if you're doing crimes to try to intimidate people and make other people besides the person you're killing scared, then that has an effect beyond just that person. And that theory is not the same, right?

You asked me, what did you do? Yeah, yeah, no, I'm thinking. Did you expect me to? No, no, you kind of looked bored. Within four seconds? No, no. Oh, god, shut up. Nerd.

Along those same lines. I was just saying it, I didn't want to hear anything about it. Along those same lines, Texas and the Texas legislation has made sure that if you are a broke pory that none of your free money can go to treats. No more treats for you. What kind of treats? Sodas and candy of certain types will be banned. This is kind of like what we were talking about with Blake's science project, Hobo, is the best way to bring people out of poverty, in my opinion, but I would say that it's

supported by fact, is to just give them money. But it really pisses people off when you give someone money and you watch what they do with it. So you're like, no, you can't buy Snickers. We need you to buy ground beef. So then they just end up, hey, we're gonna scale it back, make it harder to get the money, I don't know. A banned sweetened drink is defined as a non-alcoholic

beverage made with water that contains five grams or more of added sugar. So they're making you drink like Waterloo. I'm saying you can't even have juice. So alcohol's on the table though? No, it says non-alcohol. So you can get a Coke Zero. Made with water, though.

So I don't know. Obviously, Coke Zero is made with water, but I don't know what level of water. Are there no all drinks made with water? Five grams of added sugar or any amount of artificial sweetness. Can't even have that? No.

Well, OK, so you're just drinking straight water. Hey, did you like things a little sweeter? Is that what you're telling me? You like them a little sweeter? Yeah. You do? I like a little sweet. Quit being so fucking poor.

Get your own money to buy your soda. Yeah, OK. No, it's just that it's interesting. They're worried about their health. Yeah, but it's great it's- I mean, it's interesting, they're worried about their health. Yeah, but- That's great. It's not that, it's that they make it, you make it harder to get the money,

some people are not, it's harder to get healthy food, you know, food desert concept or whatever, and also some people are just dummies and you're gonna have to give them money too to make the whole thing work. And where I've come around on Angelo Angelo my I think hobo you called him My good hobo feels bespoke artisan if you will

Old-timey, huh trains yet bendle. I've tried to rationalize. He was on a train In a life where he he doesn't work probably doesn't have very many friends a lot of assumptions In a life where he doesn't work, probably doesn't have very many friends. A lot of assumptions. Some that he's told me. Less of an assumption. I've started thinking that the bright part of his day is probably drinking Sprite from McDonald's. Or getting chicken nuggets with honey mustard. I feel that.

To some degree I do too. Which is why I'm really trying to not judge that he got three Republicans at Torsche. Because that might have been the best part of his whole day or a week. So yeah, stripping people of their of their Pepsi or their cherry Coke seems like you are judging that you're trying not to. I'm trying. Yeah, I just want him to get more value.

You want to get more value. It's not that you're mad what he's eating, okay. His is different than this. What this is in the case of welfare in Texas is some people don't have the ability to cook ground beef. They don't have the ability to cook rice so they don't have electricity. It's not like Blake's asking this guy to eat at home

like the state is. No, I just want him to be able to eat every day. I want you to have a meal every day, bud. Right, and there's options where you could do that. He's $3 and 1 half a day. You could get that done. He should intermittently fast two days a week and clear out his gut biome.

Would he do my morning routine video? That's so bad. Give him a hundred bucks to do it? Yeah. I'm sure he would. Well what do you want him to do? Like he wakes up? I don't know. I thought we'd like those morning routine videos. We do, we do. It's just... Let's see what his is.

I think he has a motel room. So he's up in the motel room, splashes some water on his face. How can he afford a motel room? Whatever government help he gets, I think he can pay for a motel. He has a motel room and a storage unit. And sometimes the motel. This guy's living high on the hog. Yeah, I know.

On my back. Yeah, I heard. Yeah. That sounds great. Let's see. It does sound half-assed. A hotel room and a storage unit. That's all you need. Oh, you know what? Let's actually just, okay, so. And a Venmo gift card for $25 a week. What, if anything, is the plan? I don't know, man. For what? For Angelo, for this project. Usually you need to have some sort of, what does Dan say, the business term of figure out what a divorce looks like before you enter

into the relationship. You need to get a handle on this right now. Figure it out. Well it's too late. But it's only too- He's in it. You hand him, if you did the Jake move, which you

ridiculed at the time of handing him $50, it'd be over. And he would have felt great. He'd have such a great memory of you. This is going to end poorly because you're going to have to cut him off. Yeah. Because we're cutting you off, pal. All right, there's your new.

This is how he's going to spend his money. Oh, this is how he's gonna spend his money. Oh, what am I doing here? Would it kill him to come out Saturday? I'd have to go get him. That'd be a funny thing to add on to Blake's day. Go get him. He's already changed phone numbers again. He's on phone number three. Yeah. He immediately lets you know that, or the Venmo?

Me. Today in history will be brought to us by Factor Meals. Ooh. Actually, Drop Beth had sent us a note a while back.

Every day. And I'm trying to not act like, yeah, I'd probably be doing the same thing. Right. Yeah, is grandpa acting a little holier than down there? Come on, grandpa. Yeah. Live a little. So your grandpa is different than Jake's grandpa who wanted to watch all the hot weather girls? Mm-hmm. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know how he would handle hot lady in facility. Doesn't come up too much. Let's see here. I got a couple of viewer mail birthdays. Dear Dan Bob Kuder, Monday was the birthday of my son. The birth of my son, actually. He says Rowdy's...

His Rowdy birthday. Zero. Before Overshown stole it. He'd like a name rating from Jake. Callum James. Callum. Like, Callum. It is Callum, I asked. Callum?

This was introduced in the group chat. Callum. I looked it up was introduced in the group chat call them I looked it up too, and it's like a very it's an old like Scottish name And I also asked are you gonna call him Cal and he said yes, so I'm giving this uh. I don't know what my rating system is Like 369s up, it's a good name Cal James Cal that's a cool sounding name. Now, if it were with a K, we'd have a problem. But the C feels strong and old. He attached a picture to his kid, his little baby, brand new baby laying in the dog bed

because it fit like perfectly in there and his dog is like laying on the outside like yeah that was a that was a photo that was sent to the group chat and you'd be interested in this couple of us gave the exclamation and like the party hat but I didn't say anything really nobody did everybody just gave him like the thumb reaction and then like nine hours later KJ was like, let me just be the first to say congrats It did look This person just birthed a human and the best I can do is I'm like exclamation Like nobody even says hey man, love you. I'm with the heart. It's just, okay. Just drop a heart, you're good.

Move on. But, guess KJ is this higher level human than the rest of us. It does actually come up like that a lot. This is from Landry Atkinson. He says, thanks and always foul up three. Dear Uncle Taint Tickler, I know Steve Noviello would call this super gay, but I am writing in to wish happy birthday to good dude Matt Dallas.

Why is he not over here? I don't know, come on over. Want to come over or no? We do have closing remarks coming up Matt Dallas confusingly First introduced himself as Matt Dallas and then later he's like well my name is Matt Grim I'm like okay. Do you want me not to use that name? He's like no no go ahead I never said my name is Matt Grim You've never told me that you You got it from my email.

Well, then I said am I allowed to call you that on the air and you're like, yeah, whatever. Yeah, whatever. It's all good. I just don't understand this whole... But he's right though. He didn't tell you to call him that. Okay. I said it was okay. Call me whatever you want. Look, I'm confused too.

Yeah, I'm just like what what why Matt Dallas in the first place if you are comfortable with just being do you? Do the problem is you're trying to understand these punk rockers right now, okay? And there's no point sometimes they come up with other names Sometimes they do roller derby All sorts of crazy Bill writes. I had the pleasure of meeting Matt at the Austin event I want to give him props for being such a solid representative of the dumb zone. Yes.

I'm bummed I couldn't make it to the birthday bash today. I'm sure the trucker went all out. That's Bill from Austin. That's Dr. Bill by the way. And Dr. Bill will be in the den on, I believe November 21st because November 20th he gets his like it passes oncology medical degree thing so he's coming to you guys what if he doesn't pass oh well he's supremely confident and he's the guy that has the buddy

I guess right is that what he's doing. That's what he's doing He could just look at you just fire a digit in there cuz I'll I'll take that And Good morning, Dan. I want to write a birthday request for my brother Derek. He's turning 37 or 38. Who could know?

Like you, Dan, he's a fan of the tiny iPhone. He has somehow kept his alive and going against the odds of low battery life and being unable to upgrade any apps. I'm writing in a day early. His birthday is tomorrow. But because he has this iPhone with a button, his phone't download the patreon app so he can only listen to free episodes leaders are Lone Star beer and the

Transition of run the ball Blake to get off my lawn Blake Same guy never punt from Justin. Yeah, is that same? Okay, so feels like it Matt's a pretty smart guy I feel like he knows About a lot of different stuff including tech stuff smart guy. I feel like he knows about a lot of different stuff including tech stuff. That sort of planned obsolescence obviously is real. You know, like my wife's old iPad, we can't get Disney on it. They just hard limit it. But I swear to God, dude, that this battery on this loop is drastically different than it was one month ago when they introduced their new product. drastically different than it was one month ago when they introduced their new product.

Drastically different. Like is there some way for them to... I don't understand how they would do that with a piece of hardware. And like I understand if they're made to phase out at a certain point, but that would take them projecting out their next product launch exactly years out, which I don't think they could do.

But I saw a guy at Flag on Sunday and I'm like, dude, it's yours. It's a joke. I don't know how that works. Somehow they know to throttle this product when they introduce another one. Anyways. So today in history, we have Thursday, June 5th. Seems like everyone's like, oh, we just have to accept this.

They didn't just make your stuff suck. Yeah. Everyone's like, oh, we just have to accept this. They didn't just make your stuff suck. Yeah. Called the waiters. Today, your actual birthday, June 5th? Today is my actual birthday. 6-5. On this day in 1968, Senator Robert F. Kennedy

Yeah, the whole premise, it's a whole story. It's wonderful. And it all comes down to the basic premise of the story is we will lie to have sex with you.

So the basis, she was saying, no, I don't wanna do it. Will you love me forever? You have to promise. And he then eventually gives in and says, yes, I will love you forever. I swore I'd love you till the end of time. And then the next line is, so now I'm praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive,

because if I have to spend another minute with you, I don't think that that could really survive. So it's a wonderful story. And it all started in this car. And Meat meatloaf honorable guy who keeps his word. Yeah Kind of hit home for you there, huh? Don't do the end of time Say till the end. Well, I didn't I was unaware of that this podcast or something. There's a scene in Team America Where I don't know there's like Action hero goes away comes back.

Can you promise me you'll never die? Like he's trying to have sex with her. I don't know if I can do that. Promise me that you will never die. I promise I will never die.

All the Dude Perfect guys are named Tyler. Tyler Blevins is ninja. Yeah. Who I believe I remember Dan had to retire due to his declining abilities at the age of 25. Yes. The sport had passed him by. He was moving to the booth. Born on this day now dead. I wonder what his net worth is.

Lancelot Ware, the co-founder of Mensa. When do you think he was alive? This isn't that hard, right? Yeah, I mean, I figure it's like late 1800s. Yeah, 1950, 15 to 2000. And Dennis Gabor invented the hologram. It's pretty cool, huh? Give me your one sheet, your elevator pitch, three bullet

points on what is a hologram go? How do you, what did he invent? And I read his Wikipedia this morning so I don't know it's like put the thing and thing and the thing and then... I don't know how it works. It overlaps something. I don't know how it works. Something overlaps something and then... They do like the Star Wars Princess Leia thing and put a bunch of fog in front of it. That's how it works. Died on this day still dead, Mildred Hill who wrote Happy Birthday to You.

Oh damn. Okay. You think she got the points, the back end? Or did she just get like a loaf of bread? When you think she was alive. Let's start with happy birthday to you. I wonder what we go to next. Okay, no, let's do it again.

Happy birthday to you. What can we say next? Do it again. What if we do it? Let's increase in pitch. Happy birthday to you. Wait, when was she alive? She lived to the age of 56.

Can you name one of the years that she lived? Matt? 1845. I'm going to say we did not have the happy birthday song we have right now during the Civil War. That's what I was thinking. This person was born in 1880. And happy birthday is a 1900's song. Let's say she was alive in 1920 You're right Blake 1916 she was born good Great Depression bring back a little happiness kind of thing. Yeah And died on this day in 2004

Ronald Reagan Like right now overall net impact on the world, we eliminate Happy Birthday, no one's mad. It is like translated to- It is like translated to- Lots of ladies are mad. It's like in every language. I know. And that's what's today in history.

It's the one thing everyone agrees on is this stupid song. I have a piece of audio while scene is here. Okay. Because as you will remember, his little broadcast prodigy, Simon, asked Tyler Smith the question about paintball, which then led to a free throw competition that the Cowboys are having.

Well, Simon did it again, and this time he asked our buddy Ted Emmerich a question. Okay and this is how Ted handled that. Playing an iconic game would you rather call the first 90% or the final 10%? Oh man, 90-10. So he sees it immediately. That's awesome. Let's get Jared to work that in next week. 90-10? Yeah.

A chronic game. Would you rather call the first 90% or the final 10%? And I think you hear a, ooh, like that's an awesome question. The teacher just has to run with it. Oh man, 90, 10. That's good. So, I think it's the last 10 because that's what people are going to remember. And that's not to take away from the 90, the build up is very important. Build up fun. But yeah, if it's an iconic game, I'm just going to assume it's going to come down to

a finish that will be remembered for a long time. And I want to be there for that. Yeah, he knows what he's doing. Of course he does. Yeah, were turned in for a cum joke. He's trying to determine here, like, all right, how old is this kid? How old is he? He's asking the questions.

What's going on? I'm probably OK. No one else here knows what just happened. No disrespect to that 90, which is very important. That's great. It is the buildup. Anyway, Frankel and Frankel would like to present closing remarks.

You know who they are? Absolutely. A bunch of threes. That's how you dial them, yeah. But what are they? What is Frankel and Frankel? Oh, injury lawyer. That's right, personal injury attorneys.

You get in a wreck. Call 911, then call the Frankles. Call the Frankles. They will fight that insurance company so that you don't have to. Because the insurance company's gonna fight you. You know that's the case. I feel about the insurance company

the way these guys feel about quality insurance tax for regional convenience store chains. Right. Don't wanna deal with them. That's why the Frankles are here. Frankle and Frankle wishes they didn't have to exist But you need them it hurt him on that wall hurts them a lot more than it hurts Yeah, but they're very experienced. They used to work with the insurance companies so they know their tricks and

They can use that knowledge against them in court for you get you what you deserve In court for you get you what you deserve if you do find yourself needing a personal injury attorney 214 or 817 and then dial all threes Matt Dallas slash grim Happy birthday, bro. Thank you, sir. Appreciate that don't even really have a guess on the age It could be anything yeah, it really could he might be 28 So I'm exactly double that Good guess Dan. Okay. Well, I can't do that. So my

Sergey Zuboff birthday. Okay. Yeah, I can do that now because I love Sergey Zuboff Had his sweater for sure. So what's your bit? The truckers. So you came in the trucker. No, you came in. You joined us in the den. Yes.

Where we first met you. And as I recall, we were taken by you and the truckers relationship because you were very outwardly or she was talking about enjoying pornography with you that this is a great thing yep she loves it for couples to enjoy together cosine yeah then of course we got to know you as we went on the DZ RV you mopped up with the MVP although I don't know that I voted for him after that last day making me hop on the at like a 330 in

the morning departure time but we were like at my house at like 10 a.m. yes you're a champion you're awesome and I played the psychological I know you did I threw out 2 a.m. just to get you to agree to it. I know I know and I fell right into it Four yeah, oh four is great. I was fired. I thought I had a victory as I was going But I knew he wanted to leave Yeah, that's more on the table. They would have accepted five But then he asked Dan so you know what time you think about leaving Dan's like oh accepted five. But then he asked Dan, so what time

are you thinking about leaving? Dan's like, oh, eight or nine? Well, I was thinking two. Right, that check in at the hotel was great. Two? Well, I want to go to Denver. I don't care how we get there. Well, I'll volunteer my services.

I think I'm leaning towards the DZ RV again. I think if we do a flight, though, we have to get him one. Oh, shoot babe yeah that's that's what I was thinking let's just get him a flight we save money yeah oh hey I'll drive from the Denver Airport through all locations there we go look at that yeah there we go cuz it is great to have a driver yeah oh the are listen we can work this out he could hear he could meet us there with the RV. I don't know what it is but me, that guy, that guy, and that guy, Rob was a little different. Nobody takes any of us seriously. Other adults don't look at us and think this is an adult that I need to deal with seriously. Like other adults don't look at us and think like this is an adult that I need to deal with seriously. But him they do. Right. Like when people see him they're like oh there's a

grown adult man. Like will this is business time. But if it's any of the rest of us. Hey did you know this? Like what do you? Did you know this? Is this true? When he drove us on the RV to California, I was of the opinion. I thought, oh, here's a guy who has driven giant RVs all his life. I feel very safe. He had never driven one before. I drove a U-Haul truck one time, like a small U-Haul truck.

Which I've done 10 times. But he figured this out on the fly. Yeah. I thought this guy is experienced. My life is fine because if you were driving it, I would have been very worried about it. If Blake was driving, whatever. But oh, it was Matt who has a friend in the RV business.

But that is actually true. Who happens to be free this week. No, I do actually have a good friend who owns an RV dealership. But I thought that meant, oh okay, so he's lent you RVs before. But here's the thing. You've taken this big trip.

This is the type of person though that is capable of making you feel that way. Like, oh he's probably got it. No, yeah, I bought it. And then even after the drive, I'm like, okay. Everything seemed to work. This is all good, Worked out. Yeah. All right. Anyway, we're here. No one's dying. I'll I'll stop talking for your closing remarks. OK, I got a few things to say. Thank you guys for being here. Really appreciate it. Blake and Jake Clayton. You guys are awesome. The trucker obviously went all out as she always does.

Thank you very much. All the friends that showed up. Caitlin, Jameson, Steve, Matt, Doug, Rob, 360Scene, who's now gone and really appreciate it. Thank you very much, it was awesome birthday. Tons of fun. Also, just a couple things for you guys. One, life is all about like facilitating happiness, right? Blake, you did a great job with your unhoused guy, Angelo.

I would encourage you to not really pick apart his expenditures. Let that guy's happiness be his own. Yeah, and enjoy it. I know. Feel good for him for ordering three Republic tacos and an iced tea or whatever he orders every Monday. OK.

Dan, I try to facilitate some of your happiness but you didn't respond to my text two weeks ago i don't know if you even got it you did uh... you know it was a similar uh... scenario to uh... two or three months ago when i went to colorado i did go to california and i let you know I was going to California anyway And Jake I will help facilitate some of your happiness right now. Oh no

So your boy shoddy. Yeah Ping-pong is not gonna get it done. No, all right Please do not be fooled by that and I'll give you a good example of why ping-pong will not work If you and Dan were to have played ping pong during your ordeal with the courts, would that have bonded you? No, what bonded you was the struggle and the toughness and the massive struggle that you guys went through.

You guys bonded over that. You came through, it was a massive life thing for you and for you, and you came out on the other side. So don't buy into shodie's BS about playing ping pong. That's gonna save the team. Team may be fine. Don't wanna disappoint you. I just don't like seeing you get overly,

I know you're that guy. So I'm just going to do something that will facilitate your happiness here. I'm gonna invite you onto the bandwagon. The Buffalo Bills bandwagon has plenty of room. The whole Taliban thing is appealing. It's great, right? So too much focus on football there though, you know? I know that's the thing. Where's the... He goes there, he's like, oh we walked by the building. Josh Allen is the Luca of football. Everybody loves him. He's great. If you

don't win with him, if you don't win the Super Bowl, you still love watching him play and seeing him do his thing. Yeah, I just, dude, I can't. And he'll never be traded. I can't do it. Anyway, you're invited.

I understand. It's open invitation. The thing is, it's like with any other costs, benefit analysis, there's nothing in the world that could ever make me as happy sports-wise as the Cowboys with Jerry Alive winning a Super Bowl. Imagine, dude. You think Michael Irvin's fired up to be at OTAs.

If the Cowboys are playing in a Super Bowl, again, he might not physically be able to handle it. The level of, I mean, if that were to happen, it would make my sports life complete. So I can't bail on them, you know? Well, you don't have to bail, but just remember this one thing. Happiness is based on expectations. That's the dumb zones motto. No, I mean the shotty, like they're trying to microwave culture, which is always kind of lame. Interesting.

I like that. Well, I mean, that's what they have to do. Did you make that up? I don't know. I guess so. I've never heard that. Yeah, that's, that's awesome. But it just doesn't.

Yes. Culture is just a thing. Yeah, don't go through it. It happens or it doesn't. it's probably, a lot of it's based on actually being good. But dude, I think that's what comes first. Yeah, probably. Or the struggle of being bad while you're trying to get good. They don't even have time for that. Yeah. Necessarily. But I mean, obviously Parcells came in and changed the culture. Right. But but that's a thing Or is he just kind of a badass who knows? Tactical things better knows how to identify talent better and actually coach the team better Therefore they were actually a better team and look now the culture is better because they won four more games It's some combination of all that but the difference is when Parcells walks in or Andy Reid walks into Kansas City from Philadelphia they're like I'm effing Bill Parcells. I'm Andy Reid. We

don't need to go do Dance Dance Revolution. You know me. You know what I'm about. But if you show up and everyone's like I kind of forgot you were involved in football then you're gonna have to go to dinner because you have nothing else to talk about other than like hey I know Pete Carroll. You guys remember my dad? But week one, Kaitlin and I will be locked in for a 19-0 run. 20-0 now. Oh, no. The first part of the schedule is easy.

The hype machine is going to be off the rails. Well, if you go undefeated there is one less game because you don't you get the buy. And I do now see your text yeah sent like three o'clock. I would have absolutely you know. Well we could still talk afterwards we we thought about you. But yeah you always facilitate my happiness. I want to make Matt our company's financial advisor. We got a lot of those. You combine forces with myself and 690 scene,

and you guys would be unstoppable. This guy, you know, like, hey, what do we do with this money? Should we get, again, like a t-shirt cannon? Decibel meter. Right, right. Should we drive or should we fly yeah the bag emails me every week about what you should be investing this I don't know what that is should we be should we be giving a Angelo $25 a week oh dude give it get

Angelo a thousand dollars a a week. You started it. Get everybody on board. Everybody pitch in a dollar a week to Angelo on the card. And let him buy beer and booze and women and whatever else he wants. A spot schedule. That'd be a good experiment. Whatever.

We'll give you $100 a week as long as you advertise. Give him a t-shirt All right Is that it? That's one last thing again the driving thing. We got training can't come coming up. You guys want to go to Denver We got stuff. I'm always in so He can move. Let's just make it plan. Let's just plan it. Let's do it Thanks guys. All right, this is bit fun Blake what adios mofo
