Hope that's all good with you. What a day. Is today the actual day? Well it's St. Patrick's Day. I mix it all up with the party being on Saturday and all that, you know? Well, you want to talk about, I feel like a knob that on this weekend, just watching social media.

Oh, that used to be you. Just the text from the buddies over the weekend of like, remember the year with the fight? Yeah. Remember the year where the girl fell asleep in the bathroom that we didn't know? Yeah. Think of the Cowboys text thread. Yeah, remember the year where the girl fell asleep in the bathroom that we didn't know? Yeah Think of the Cowboys text thread. Remember when your buddy dressed like a slave

That was Halloween. Okay It was context there was the Cowboys text thread. Remember when Zeke popped out that girl's boob gotta love it And when Zeke beat up the bartender all you guys are conflating several Dallas incidents Remember when mark Cuban in the Dallas Mavericks saved the st. Patrick's Day parade. That's right. Once upon a time I saw they had a float there this weekend. Oh Really anything that way how'd that go? People were there fire Nico chants as the float went by there were just people 12 beers in at 930 in the morning I love it. Dude, it's, and there's kids out there and people are like, ah, far nico FU.

We'll get into that. One of the great miscalculations in all of sports history. Well, it's not getting better because, yeah, I don't know. Here's what I wrote down this weekend regarding the trade starting to believe in religion a little when I see Quentin Grimes drop 28 25 straight points there's a reason for that the Mavs are potentially gonna have to forfeit a game not gonna happen but the fact that it's being talked about is hilarious. Yeah.

Luca looked awesome yesterday. He was having fun. So what brought you to Christ? Basketball. It doesn't matter. Right, they'll take you anyway they can get you. I got here as quick as I could. There's gotta be something.

There's something mysticism related happening here. It's gotta be. Quentin Grimes. What are we doing? Quentin Grimes. It's gotta be. Quinton Grimes. What are we doing? Quinton Grimes, he's actually great, apparently. Now he's great on a team with nobody else on it. And Mavericks aren't that team. They are a pure leading scorer. They're stacked. He's scored more since going to Philadelphia than anyone has as a Maverick. Like they can't, he can't fire Neko right now.

No. Because then it all goes to him. So the ownership is like, all right, we'll just keep the heat on Neko. Like, even, they've got to be thinking it was the biggest mistake we've ever made now, but. I don't know. Yeah, who knows.

But they have to, they don't mind that it's all, it's kind of all been focused at NECO, where it probably should be focused at Dumont. But you know, you can't fire owners, Jerry Jones. We've already decided that. I do wonder, like, if Dumont's day will come where five years from now does he say, like, hey, look, I thought it was a logical sound

this guy convinced me yeah they'll do that because that will still make him look good or at least as good as he could look is that I don't know this guy he hoodwinked me he hoodwinked us all this Nico they can they can put it squarely at his feet and we will accept it just like we do every year with Jerry Jones and man if you get a new coach maybe he's getting a new coach in here you get to change this around this will this will make it better. Who would ever just blindly let them their enthusiasm go to level 10 just based on some 52 year old head coach that the entire league has passed over for 25 years. I'm ready, boys.

I'm ready. It's big week. Spring break. Big week coming up? Oh, it is spring break week. Yeah, my wife works for a school system and she's on spring break this week. Much to my chagrin. Just because then she's here in the morning and it's like...

I have an idea for you. I've got my routine. I want to... I've got it's like... I have an idea for you. Got my routine. I want to... I have an idea for you. I've got my thing and I don't like it altered. What if... And maybe right now is not the best time because our finances are what they are. They're not poor, America.

Thank you. We appreciate you all. You need to plant a seed in your wife's idea, the idea of like a four day girls trip. She's done that, yeah. Well, it's been a while because I hadn't heard about it in a minute. Well, it's based on her buddy has a condo or a timeshare or something like that in Florida. This is not a hard sell. Tell her how much you've been reading about how like friendship and community really,

really matters, especially for women as they get older. And you care about her. You live longer. You live longer, you grow older together. And the way, book club, book club's nice. What about book club on steroids? And you do it on spring break, you do it over a weekend, they do it in the summer, whatever.

She's got friends who could take three or four days. Yeah, over the summer, say it's a celebration for her first year at the new place or something. Yeah, we need you to instigate this. Don't wait for your friend's condo. Yeah. Go get a place. Yeah, I don't have a problem with this.

Wonder if I could run a GoFundMe to fund my wife going out of town for me. I'd throw a little in there. I would too. Just to see how the show changes for a few days. But I'm lucky. My wife is the one who plans this stuff. But then when I see that, I'm like, man,

I wonder if Blake and Dan's wife's, I wonder if we could get a little nudge here somehow. Oh. Find a place for them. Tell them you heard about a place in the Hill Country. It's great. Massages. Girls love the Hill Country.

What about that for, yeah, if, you know, we've had trades before where we go, you know, sales will trade us a weekend at a certain resort or something like that. What if we were to do that? Or what if we use charity money to buy a silent auction weekend at Jared's auction with the Sandlot. We buy a silent auction weekend and I give it to my wife and I'm like, hey, this is a gift. Oh, are we going to go? No, no, no. Better. You deserve it more. Yeah. Take your friends. They're always setting you up. I know I've put you through a lot with this whole dumb zone thing. And her condo. Yeah. We're financially not as well off as we could be right now. Certainly, we could have bought another house had we not made some decisions that we made. But yeah, here we are.

Let's go. We can say the word dick and stuff. Yeah. That doesn't really help her a ton. But what do you mean? Well, now, I mean, that's that's the upshot of your of your decision no I think I think you should you should see how this goes fly a little test balloon buy yourself a little time I'm going on a brief vacation the back half of this week but I will still be doing the show

I'm very excited about getting to be the AJ Hawk of the Dan McAfee show. Yeah, in my weekly talk with my mom, I was talking about visiting Cleveland this year, and I was like, you know, I might just haul off and go up there for a week or something and drive to see my girl who's going to be not my side piece, my daughter. And hopefully she's got a friend that would eventually become my side piece. Because that's the thing, right? Once you have a college-aged daughter,

you're allowed to date women that are the age of your daughter. Whereas when they were like in junior high, that was frowned upon. Nobody would. Heavily. Society would have really cast me in a bad light on that. So I didn't even contemplate it.

That's why I didn't. I mean, I think it would be a much cooler move if, just for the show, if you wanted to go viral, if they were to get a boyfriend and then you hook up with them. Because that seems to kind of be the... Have relations with the boyfriend? Well, yeah. Oh, okay. Kind of an Ole Miss SEC thing.

I, uh... Except you're gonna have to work with one. I do love my daughter's boyfriend. He's great. Well, you got it. He seemed like a good dude. He's a real good dude. Yeah. You're bigger than he is, too. Why is he with her?

This is important. I'm not trying to get you... You know... What do you mean? I'm the bear? What are we saying? Well, yeah, I think so. And I haven't met the guy once and he's... bear? Well, yeah, I think so. I haven't met the guy once and he's gentle. Well, he's going to...

Going to a man? Just the power dynamic would indicate that he's probably the bottom. Yeah, you can go do that. Go take trips. But I just thought I could still do the show. That's the beauty. How about a little weekend check? How about a weekend check? It's brought to you by our good friends at Scenario.

We can check, brought to you by Scenario. I'll go first, I got a quickie here. So one thing I do do is I try to get, every couple months get a massage or a facial.

Like a real man. I went there yesterday, no Gary. I think Gary's kind of a part-time player because he's got a real gig as a chiropractor I think but. I get asked about Gary a lot. Yeah yeah so we referred we refer somebody probably monthly via email. So the lady that was doing my thing yesterday, I'm not much of a talker, but somehow the topic came up of how much other people talk during massages and facials.

There's a lady, she's probably in her 30s. And she's like, oh yeah, because I said one time, I said I thought before about bringing headphones in here. But I assumed it would be rude. And she's like, no, no, no, headphones would be nice. Because normally, most of my clients will just watch movies. They'll hold their phone up above, on a tablet or iPhone or they'll do conference calls.

She's like, nowhere else, but Southlake's different. I was like, what do you mean? She's like, it's mostly like for facials and massages, she has like 50-something males. And she's like, and they'll have their Bluetooth on, they'll do conference calls, or they're holding a phone watching a show the whole time. I usually say about 10 words to the person I'm dealing with.

Sometimes I fall asleep. I think that's a, it's a rare place where you can unplug. Yeah. Like that's the point to me. 100%. Just laying there is the- That's my point at the barbershop when I get a head shave too.

I will not be scrolling through my phone, looking at my phone. Actually, and yes, I will nod off. I don't even open my eyes. I love to close my eyes during the whole thing. Yeah. Especially for years. Even more relaxing with the head shave and the haircut.

But yeah, so the reason I bring this up, she noted that it's Southlake and she'd worked at other places And it's like it's way more common here. I don't know. It's different Making deals I guess cash and checks or at least feel like they need to always be making deals cuz I Reflexively she's like, I don't know people are busy. was like I don't know I'm kind of busy but somehow I find 45 minutes my brains off so I bring this up because more and more we're noticing folks the olds are just as if not more addicted to their technology than your kids are worse way worse like I feel like I'm in a sweet spot. Well, I don't know about worse, but yes, just as.

Yeah, I hear about kids who can't pay attention in school because they're addicted to the phone. Dude, my wife can't watch TV without her phone. Yeah. Yeah. And that's another place where I liked. I will check, and then if I have to do something, I'll kind of pause the TV and, oh, OK, I

got to answer these guys or something. And I want to think about that, but I'm watching the show like we're here yeah but she watches it while playing brick or whatever the mindless game that she's doing it's just funny it's funny to me that I don't know there's almost like a weird so somebody brought this up and we were talking about Portland Have you guys ever heard of like in politics the like the horseshoe theory? The idea is that at the extremes of like far far left and far far right you wrap around to basically the same place of

authoritarianism That like the fixed and military control, that the far left can be in line with the far right because they just meet each other, they get so crazy. I feel like this is a case where most of the people that I see staring at their phone while walking, or talking out loud on a speaker phone, are either teens or affluent whites.

Although I guess this is charged, the black community is charged with this quite a bit though, right? Like airport, bus, public. With the Bluetooth? Yeah, I have heard that that's like a stereotype. Maybe it's just people, can confirm. Yeah, I don like a stereotype. Maybe it's just people. Can't confirm Yeah, I don't know though

It's maybe it is just people and trying to make it an age or gender or race things too much But I don't know I feel like there are pockets where it's more popular. I would never in a million years imagine Holding a phone up and watching Netflix while I was getting a massage. That's like lunatic behavior to me People are just afraid to be bored. That's what it is. Yeah. I mean, that's what it is for me.

If I'm sitting there and I don't have anything to do, well, let me scroll. But there are times in my day where I have to force myself to, and driving is a good one. Don't you think it important? Just drive in silence. Right, and is part of that like, now obviously driving you're paying attention to the road, but also

just allowing yourself to think. Yeah. Like, that's, I don't know. I like doing some things and I'll listen to a podcast, but then some things I actively like and I have to make them certain things. So when I wash the dishes and clean up at night, like I don't want, I'm doing a mundane activity that I can easily do, which allows me then to think about other things. And I'm constantly pulling out my phone, writing a note down.

Yeah. Like, Oh, I thought about this for, we should do this tomorrow. That's how it works with me with. But if I was listening to a podcast, I wouldn't be actively thinking of those things I got to do for the week or to get ready. So I need to make myself have points in life where I don't have any other media coming in. So like you hear about meditation and I'll try to do it every day, but I am a terrible at it. I don't. I'm not a good meditator. I'm a terrible. I was going to say I'm a terrible meditator. I'm a terrible I was gonna say I'm a terrible meditator

But what happens is rather than me actually being able to achieve the level of calm in 15 or 20 minutes that the meditation is supposed to provide What ends up happening is I just get really good thoughts for 20 minutes, so I have to pause it right down That's actually what ends up happening. Well, that's good. You want to think about nothing? I can't do that. But if I sit in silence. It should be to each person what it is.

And then my other quick note, TV-wise, I'm one behind on White Lotus. It ran last night, so I can't. There's no spoilers here. But it did last week's episode that I watched. Made me think of a classic IJB topic so this show if you've seen it before and really HBO I feel like in general right now a lot of dicks folks they love to show the penis gemstones white lotus always has it feels like it

always has a penis or more I think my wife has seen Steve Zahn's penis Yeah, or at least he's not wearing her penis. Yeah in Season one. Yeah, cuz like his she mowed the lawn that night Probably his balls were a big topic in season one. He was cancer or something. Yeah So white lotus had an episode. I gotta go. I gotta mow the front yard last week. It's 9 o'clock raining The dad the family is like all peeled out drunk and he's wearing a robe and he forgets And he's with his family like 20 something son 17 daughter 15 son and he like opens it up and it's just dad dick,

flopping out and he's all, ugh. And it got me thinking about a topic TC and I really got hung up on a couple years ago was just, do you remember the last time you saw your dad's dick? Because I do. I was like six. Yeah. Was it like, mine was probably at the men's club, the gym, not the men's club like the VIP room. I mean, back in the old, old days they would have athletic clubs that only men would go to.

Yeah. And that's where I probably saw all my first wieners that weren't mine. Because all the old men would walk around, you know, after playing racquetball, just walk around naked in the... Yeah. Sit there watching TV naked, going to the pool naked. Probably steam naked. Absolutely.

Yeah. That's gonna die. No, no no the yellow what if I started saying that no when's the last time you saw your dad's wiener probably at the same age I don't know six five I just feel like I remember a memory of us like cuz I here's why I was, another thing is, Dan and Bob used to have a debate over when it's too old to shower with your kids.

Yeah. Yeah. And my daughter's six and I think I'm right there. Yeah. Yeah. But Bob would have said five or six is crazy back then. But like I took a shower last night while my daughter was in the bathtub next to it. And even that felt weird. You kind of don't, once they are,

I just think you wouldn't want them to communicate to others that they know that their dad, I was naked with my dad this morning or something. Yeah. Yeah. You know, obviously it's all quite innocent. Don't tell them about our little fun time. I mean, obviously that, you know, hopefully it's all innocent, you know, but

But yeah like Showering with the little kid is like showering with your dog as far as I was concerned Oh, by the way, I did that the other day as I've told you guys. I'm willing to try things I did I tell you I showered without I showered naked with the dog Oh, no, you didn't say that dog got very muddy. You are growing. I tried it. I was concerned, but the dog is not. Did you get a boner?

Was that what your concern was? No, yeah, for a second, then I just. Yeah. The dog's not as close to my junk as I thought. Had to get him back for the cyst on you. That's right. How does it feel? Daked.

So anyways, hopefully none of you over the weekend saw your dad's junk. No, I do think about that, because Brooks will come in there as I'm getting out of the shower. To some degree, it's like we're dudes. Yeah, no, I don't care. The boy, I don't know that I'll ever care. Yeah.

Yeah, having girls is a different thing. Clayton, weekend check? Clayton usually watches lots of TV. Big time TV. Let me backtrack the Jake's thing about Dad Penis. Go on. He wants to participate. Yeah, go on. So my dad,

who's no longer with us, would just fire off the work clothes So my dad Who's no longer with us? Would just fire off the work clothes as soon as he got home There's a farmer so dirty whatever just fire off the work clothes as soon as he got home And it may be an hour or two before he has lounge wear on It's just naked. He's just chill I mean he lived alone in a in a ranch house house out in West Texas and when I would go visit He's not changing his routine just cuz I'm there. He sits in the house naked. Yeah

We sat in the house. Not underwear. No That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard. Just go jump in the shower, clean off and then just chill out. Air dry So how old were you the last time you saw your dad? 28 Go jump in the shower, clean off, and then just chill out. Air dry. So how old were you the last time you saw your dad naked? 28. Jeez. Went on a dove hunting trip, spent a week out there, no phone, no nothing.

And he's not changing his routine for anybody. It's an interesting thought though. Would you, if tomorrow she goes on the girls trip, she dies, you're completely solo. God, that's my biggest fear. Would you, well you got a kid, would you ever just be like, why do I need clothes in the house?

No. I love being alone and I am never walking around naked during that time. Would you just go underwear? Nah, even underwear. I don't know. I would go, you know, just comfortable shorts or something, but no. Yeah, I don't feel like my comfies are... I kind of like wearing a shirt. They're comfy.

Also, I don't walk around without a shirt. I don't really either anymore. Unless I'm oiling up and playing a bodybuilder in the mirror. Which I will do. Well that's really weird dude, I'm sorry about that trauma. Oh okay, yeah, elsewhere. It's not, it wasn't trauma, I mean when you grow up with it, it's your life. Did you get hard when you saw him?

No. Okay. We're just trying to weed him out. Two little things. Yeah, no, right. Okay, I'm a straight white cis male. There you go, Dan. All right.

All your answers that you've ever wanted. That's exactly what a gay guy would say. Two, two weekend things for me. Gemstones, back full cast. Bought it tonight. So good. Jake's gonna be happy. Really gonna want to hear his response to baby Billy. Oh hell yeah. And the double for Goggins. Yeah he's got a... It's his world. Got his own thing going on now. And then the second thing, this is like my food segment. This is a Food

Junior. Okay. Okay. And I have, I brought, I brought some to share with the blast. So, I'm gonna hand these out. Whoa! What have we got here? We have gifts. Okay. What are we giving? These appear to be fruit rolls, then it says bear. What does bear mean? So bear fruit rolls, all natural fruit rolls. Used to only be able to get them on Amazon, but I started venturing to the grocery store again and housing them. You know what's really interesting about this?

The other day, we had something for dinner that was like a cheese tortellini tomato sauce and like ground beef. And it occurred to me this is just everything, it's just adult spaghettios. This right here is a guy who is getting older and somewhat trying to take care of himself, but still wants to eat fruit fucking roll ups. So he's landed on the one with no sugar added, just four ingredients. Like this is amazing. Yeah, I love it.

Or a guy who hasn't been in the grocery store without kids, he doesn't know how far snacks have come. Well no, I used to order these on Amazon all the time. Brother. Okay. Yeah he just doesn't have like a Thrive membership. Yeah so these are great they also have okay yeah they also have the little like paw print they're like a little bear print for the kids but I stick with my classic fruit roll-up style just wanted to share that with you guys. Found those. Thank you.

Came back into my life, and I want to share with my friends. Legit, if I were just putting out a call, like on some hiring website, and I'm like, I need a nerd. I need a video guy. I need a guy who's going to be locked in. If they told me that they, at 39, still eat fruit roll-ups, I'd be like, you're definitely a step ahead of the field. I don't need to know, I definitely don't need you to work out. I need this.

The guy who goes to R slash fast food and eats fruit roll-ups. You rake yesterday? No. Let's end with Blake. Because I think Blake's is probably better than mine. I was just going to say that I did my grocery shopping this weekend, as you know. I think it's because I'm high maintenance.

I will accept going to three different places when I go pick up dinner for the family because when I go shopping for myself I will go to three different grocery stores. Yeah, that's... I like, you know... I get it, it's just the time. But the wife will do... she wants the Bud Light Lime so I'll go buy that from Tom Thumb. They don't have that at Central Market. So I'm at Central Market at the deli counter wearing my Twitch jacket. And often, well, yeah, often over the years, you know, I've got this Twitch jacket that

we know a guy that worked at Twitch and he sent us some gear. Nice. He got me my Twitter account back. Yeah. Used to work at Twitter. Gave us a Twitter tour years ago. Anyway, guy at the Deli counter said, so this is Southlake Central Market. What do you man?

I'll often get somebody who'll be like, hey, guy bagging the girls or something, be like, you streamer? I'll be like, eh, you know. That's awesome. Little bit. I mean, I'm very happy for you. But. Because if I met you, I would not be like, eh, you know. That's awesome. Little bit. I mean, I'm very happy for you. But.

Because if I met you, I would not be like, are you a streamer? I would immediately be like, yeah. The guy at the deli counter, the kid, said, hey, man, what are you, like, the co-CEO of Twitch or something? Yeah. Why can't you be the full CEO? I don't know. And I should have said yes.

And he's like, yeah, that's who shops here, man. CEOs? People like that, yeah. It's true. Well, it's like CEOs are in there getting a massage on the phone, making a deal, where his schlubs are like, oh, I need to get my silence meditated. So what'd you say? Yeah, schlubs.

Yeah. I said, yeah, yeah kid. You want a shot? You want a shot at the big time? No, I said what I always said. Nah, I know a guy who gave me a jacket. Tom Thumb Metal Listener. So about the dome zone?

No. Tom Thumb Metal Listener, who recognized me of course. Hey man, oh love what you guys are doing. Sorry you guys left. I'm following you, you know, I'll watch your shows on YouTube and everything. And he says, how do you subscribe? How do you do that? And I go, you know what, it's weird, I guess we don't really talk about it and promote it. So I gave him the we're on Patreon.com and you can subscribe there.

But we're also on something called Substack and he's like, oh, could I get an annual? And I'm like, yeah, well on Substack you can. And I said, some people don't like that platform as well as much, but you know, then I gave them the whole, you can get an annual over there, but not on Patreon, but I think we're going to do it at the same time this year. Maybe in August we'll offer that annual on Patreon so that we can...anyway. Talk to him for quite some time about the intricacies of actually signing up and subscribing. So, patreon.com, dumbzone.com, that'll get you there as well. I'm set.

Now, if we have another pandemic tomorrow, because I got the coupon, the reason I also go to Tom Thumb for the paper towels, toilet paper and all that. So I loaded up on those because they're like 15 or 20 bucks each, right? For the big 12 equals 48. And because I got vaccinated there and they will give you a 10% off coupon for getting vaccinated. So that's where I buy all the big items. And then

speaking of promoting our show and everything, got an email from my friend Adam, or he probably doesn't want me to use his first name, A-Romo, I'll call him.

Real quick before we hand off to Blake, I have a quick- Yeah, and I have one more little thing. Oh, my bad. No.

Jumped the gun. Just you saying the vaccine coupon reminded me. I used a $20 off birthday coupon this weekend that was mailed to us. Wife had a birthday. Oh. And it was at an Italian restaurant. So we get the 20 off for dinner.

They gave me an extra entree. Didn't charge me for it. Wow. That was dinner last night. What a weekend for Run the Ball Guy. Do you, how about this, kind of a pro tip. You know, all these places want your birthday. To give you free stuff on your birthday.

Space them out. Yeah, what are you going to do? Eat 12 meals, the free meal? Even if they give you the whole month, that's a lot of pressure. My birthday, May 15th to this place, June 15th. That place, July 15th. That place, August 15th.

Because then I get one free thing a month. I mean, I'm just in the dojo learning, bro. Oh yeah, no. I'm in awe. You need to sell this. Yeah. I'm just coming to the gym getting shots up. That's great. My last thing is just going to be a quick hit on my TV watching. I know everybody's interested in that.

Watch the Kobe doc. We'll review tomorrow, three episodes. Okay, I might try to knock a couple Kobe doc. We'll review tomorrow, three episodes. OK, I might try to knock a couple out tonight. We'll review it tomorrow. OK. Severance is the season finale will be this Friday. Very slow trek to the end of the season. Let's get there, finally.

White Lotus, I got in on episode one. Promising, very promising. Uncle Rico is back. Uncle Rico is the through line. Yeah, a similar storyline it seems to last year where they had the older kid and the dorky younger brother and the whatever. So a little... That's how it was with Sidney Sweeney too, right? Yeah. I think that's what I'm referring to.

Oh, because I feel like in season two there was a weird, I guess I'd have to think back. Oh yeah, yeah. It's very formulaic. No, no, yeah, I'm thinking of Christopher Moltisanti's family had the older kid and the, anyway. And then episode one of Gemstones. I know you're already up to two,

but standing ovation afterwards. Right? So I thought episode one was unbelievable. And it got us Googling because they look really, really, really similar. But Walt Goggins' wife on both gemstones and. Yes, the teeth. Yeah, I thought it was the same girl.

It's not. I 100% thought it was. I looked it up. Yeah. Yeah, it's not. It looks like the same girl. I 100% thought it was. I looked it up. Yeah. Yeah, it's not. It looks like the same face. The fact that he's on HBO for a month and a half span here of overlap in their two main shows is hilarious already.

And their two wives look very similar. They both have a reddish hair. They're both whiskey tangos, all get out and all buck toothed. And I also kind of love both of them. All right, run the ball, Blake. Let's see, a tee. Well, we talked. Can I say something?

Yes. You wore that shirt on Friday. Yeah, but today's St. Patrick's Day, and this is the only green shirt I have. OK. It's been washed. I don't have a lot of shirts, but I very consciously try not to back to back.

Is that an Argyle Eagle shirt? No, uh... Because it's an Argyle t-shirt. I think the scenario guys gave this to me. It's a sick shirt. But yeah, Argyle, I get it. Just wanted to make sure you were doing okay. Like that you weren't not at home all week.

No, no, no, I'm good. I'm wearing different pants. Taking a hooker bath or just splashing on you. No, um... In fact, yeah, I did laundry on my squared away Sunday. So this has been washed. And I set it out instead of hanging it up because. You're festive. Whatever.

I told you I had a birthday party on Saturday. Noonstart didn't like it. It's the heart of nap time. Yeah, if you're still in that phase, the two times for a birthday party are 9.30 or 10. 9.30 is great if you could swing it, or 3 o'clock. Yep, I have written down here 10 AM and 4 PM are your one seats.

Yep, OK. Does a 3 o'clock ruin dinner time, then? But the cake, you don't have to really eat, though. Maybe they have a small piece of a cupcake, but you don't have to order pizza for a three o'clock, I can tell you that. Little kid birthday is tough, yeah. Was hoping he would nap on the way he didn't,

so he's just loopy at the party, and then it's just, can't do noon, people. Don't do noon. Although, they did make up for it, because they had a charcuterie board and That's the best thing going right now You could just hammer those things. It's great again as I'm in for in reference to your pasta Just being spaghetti owes those are just lunchables for people who used to eat lunch. Yeah, okay, but now we're old and we're like

What if we made them a little nicer and I have no complaint? But rather than love it order in a bunch of pizza or chips and salsa chips and queso a charcuterie board Perfect. Yeah, just perfect. Yeah, I'm a big fan For those lawn people out there. It's time to scalp your lawn scalp time I don't even know what that means first mo with a season was this weekend It's time to scalp it. It's time to aerate and you've already should have done your pre-emergent Scalp time, I don't even know what that means. First mow of the season was this weekend. Okay. It's time to scalp it, it's time to aerate, and you already should have done your pre-emergent,

but if you haven't, lay it down with some weed and feed. It's this time of year. I did my taxes over the weekend. Jeez, dude. That was a part of the Squared Away Sunday, I felt like an adult and I hated it. But this is a part of the run the ball in me that I wanted to share with you guys, because for the first time in probably a decade I almost

got in a Facebook fight. Whoa! Now, defending the honor of Wes Morland being around Dan for the past however many years has really taught me to just let some things go. But this one was really hard to let go. God, if he gave me a thousand guesses right now. And he says for the first time in 10 years, which means he's been a Facebook fighter. Well, it kinda everyone used to be.

At some point in your life, you thought that you could explain to people that you're right. And you've taught me that you can't. You don't have to worry about it. Yeah, I mean, my social media usage for sure has dropped off tremendously since I started hosting with Dan.

Yeah. Like I just saw the way that it all worked. And I'm not, it's not a shot at Bob, but there are pretty two, two pretty different approaches offered here. And I was like, that one's not me. But did you ever come away with a fight feeling good about yourself?

Pretty much no. No, and even when I see other people do that, I'm like, you're a dork. That's why. But, let me read you his post. And I still may go through with it. I have not posted a snarky response, but here he goes. He says, no matter how prepared you think you are,

nothing can prepare you for losing your dog. I had to let go of my dog today. Indy was a truly incredible companion. Honestly, he was everything I wanted in a dog. No matter what kind of day I had, I could go to him 100%, knowing he'd be happy to greet me at the door wagging his tail. A dog is truly something special.

It's a tough day to say, at the very least. Dude, you are a sick individual. Is the argument that dog is not special, that you just described my dog, and every dog? And then you posted a picture of the dog, and it's a real sad moment. And everybody just jumps on. Are you only getting mad because you want someone

to reply with what you want someone to reply with what you want? Just one slur, baby. Let me take you back to February 3rd. We're the same guy, posts. Pro tip, it's a lot easier to deal with the news of Luka Doncic when you don't watch professional sports ball. I promise you there's a lot more fun to be had

in this world, go outside. Fuck this guy, light him up. Fuck that dog. Fuck that dog. He's looking, I didn't kill that dog. And really the only reason I didn't is because I didn't know about it. This guy's trying to be an asshole.

Trying to say that I touch grass more than all you people. Yeah, no I told you, there's something religious happening with this tree. This guy needs to be put in his place. Yeah, light him up. So? Well, are you saying that karma has already killed that dog for us?

Yeah, I mean, that's true. We could just stop here. But he doesn't know that yet. Maybe, but I, uh. All you got to do, hey, maybe you shouldn't be a jerk about the look of things. He's not relating the two things. Whereas you are.

We need to drive that home. I don't forget. Yeah. Yeah, some people care the two things. Whereas you are. We need to drive that home. I don't forget. Yeah. Yeah, some people care about different things. Pro tip, if you don't get attached to a dog, then you won't be upset with him. I've got something here.

I did a little copy and paste and change. Okay, so. I got a little ahead of myself. Here's my response. Pro tip, it's a lot easier to deal with the news of your dog when you recognize it's just an animal. I promise you, there's a lot more important things to care about in this world, grow up. Oh!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr You might deserve a little bit of peppering just for pro tip. We're not doing pro tip. No. But he just came up with it. Whatever you say after that, unless it's a complete joke, you're a condescending prick. Look, everyone's sad, whatever. But ultimately, he just wanted to show you, like, I got better things to do. Oh, sports ball?

I go ride my motocross bike. Where does sports balls are? I got a lift-court truck. Dude, this guy sucks. This guy sucks. And he started it. Yeah, he did so dogs a dog I love my dog, but come on. It's really not what it's about, but he was mean first. You know what you could do This is some diabolical shit here Interested you could create another account or depending on how well you know this guy you just do yours, but it would be tough because he'd be able to trace it. But somehow you need to create an account with a dead kid, like you're a parent, and

be like, that does look tough. Similar to the feeling of when I lost Pro Tip. Doesn't get easier when you lose, like when I lost Landry my second born and he posted picture you're real sad yeah a little black and white of like this is him on one day one day's old he only made it one day I think I'm gonna post it this guy needs to be put down is that a good intro to sports that's the best intro Let's go in order elite rides DFW Oh, yeah, like we'll bring a spully rides DFW boy then bringing you sports

They'll pick you up somewhere. Interesting sports weekend. There's a couple of Cowboys moves I want to spend zero time on today. I will write about them for tomorrow if you guys want to touch on them a little bit. They keep doing the thing we were talking about, which is, hey, what if you used to be someone people thought was good? Who's that? Well, you brought it up with Elam, right?

The corner was a first round pick. Kenneth Murray was a second round pick, I want to say. I thought he was a late one. Was he a late one? Yeah, 23rd. That's two. They did it with Mingo, obviously, in the trade, where he was a second.

Solomon Thomas was a top five. Paris Campbell was a one. Paris Campbell was a first round pick? Oh my gosh, I didn't realize that. Or was he second? He was high. I was just looking at his unbelievably pedestrian stats. Oh yeah, he barely. Wondering why did did the cowboys why are they doing this fifty ninth overall

sorry second well don't mean that's what but look at up and down the line fallar was high yet they are told there but but there are legit free agent wide receivers out there. Yeah. I mean, obviously, Cooper Cup is the big one. One of them we used to play here.

Peyton Turner is the other one. Amari Cooper is a free agent right now. So is Brandon Cooks, right? Brandon Cooks? Yeah, I guess he was just here. No, he's not, though. Huh. Cooper Rush.

Boy I got that one wrong. What's that? I'm thinking there'd be no market for Cooper Rush? I thought that there would be a muted enough market to where it would make sense for him to come back here for four or five million. You know he's making two and a half on his last deal and now he's making six million a year so. But I definitely like, I see where Baltimore is coming from though because it's kind of

like what the commanders did with Mariota you got out you want to try to get a guy that you don't have to change your offense for you just sort of okay because I was about to say I can't wait to hear you explain this where you see what Baltimore is doing I've always wondered why in fact he's the Cowboys backup. Shouldn't they have someone more Dakish although maybe these days he is more Dakish right? Maybe Dak is not a mobile quarterback anymore. I don't know this for sure but I don't because I haven't seen enough of them side by side but I don't because I haven't seen enough of them side-by-side But I don't I don't know that Dak is all that much more athletic than Cooper Rush at this point now my

heir apparent Will Greer You gotta let that go. So he's the two right now really got to do right now He's an exciting player with a lot of upsides. He's not anyways. I said we weren't going to talk about this They're gonna draft the quarterback. Yeah, like the fifth round and he'll be off the team in two years or three years or whatever. Quinn? No, not Quinn.

Where's Quinn go? Uh, what, I think I've seen him as like the fourth quarterback. So what would that make him? I don't know, second round? Early second, yeah. Would you like to see the Cowboys get Quinn? Hell yeah. Yeah, be all over it.

Be cool. You think he'd last till their second round pick? Would they pick him? No, not that high. No. Interesting. No way. They're all in on deck.

That's the thing, though. You got to, I don't know. Well, let's get into some other. You're signing competent backups. Other teams that are paying big money for quarterback, they pay big money for their backup, too, knowing that guess what? This is the position.

And you would think, especially with DAC's recent injury history, you might have to count on them missing five or six games this year. Yeah, and that's why when people say like people look at these moves that they've made and they're like well it's two million. It's nothing. It's true. But if you're out here throwing two million here and there on all these like retreads to take a shot that one of them will pop, which sometimes happens, look at what happened with Zach Paulin last year veteran guy just what but the difference between keeping Cooper Rush which I think I would have

been on board with and not is like a million and a half a year so on one hand you're like oh here how you're Alan Elam he's two million a year what's a big deal or throwing all this a lot of these guys we just mentioned are not gonna make the team, right? So then you've got four or five million to dead cap and now you have a quarterback that you have to find for 600 grand a year instead of six million a year or even two or three million a year instead of six million.

I mean, Cooper Rush is not inspiring to me. It's not inspiring but he did the job. But based on what I think they're going to replace him with I think they should have stuck with Cooper Rush. So where do you want to start as far as other things? We've got Dirk, we've got Luca. Well, a lot of it revolves around Luca, I guess. The Dirk thing certainly does.

Dirk was on a podcast, but it's entirely in German. Is there any way, do we have a listener who is fluent in German? Probably. You think? Yeah. Yeah, I would bet so. I'd like to hear from that listener. I did what I could. Thedumbzone at gmail.com. I did what I could. The dumbzone at gmail.com. Yeah, so it's a podcast for his foundation. And it is with his sister, Silky, which is just an awesome name for an athlete. It's a lot of talk about youth and sports, et cetera,

and I tried to run it through an AI translator, and it's fine, but it's no better than what we got from that guy who broke it all down and sent it to us. And this is definitely, I listened to him on the ticket, which was great, but it's clear, and there was some backstory behind there, I think some of it's public, he was very 50-50 on whether or not he was going to do that

and then ended up doing it. Talk publicly about. Yeah, it was very odd, you know, and he was very worried about it. But they have a good relationship with Scott Scooter Tomlin, who does communication for the foundation now. Got it done, but he didn't say much, you know, he was playing it as close to the vest as he could because he wants to have a good relationship with ownership

moving forward but like basically anybody when they go back to speaking their native tongue and they do it with their family member and they kind of feel like hey we're in Germany America, and forget how the internet works. I think you get a lot more candid. Yeah. I saw a Reddit post, which supposedly somebody who speaks German broke it down, saying that he, numerous times, called the trade insanity.

Says he has not been involved with the MAVs at all for two years. That basically scans. Is that even before Dumont bought it, or the Adelsons bought it? No, that's about right about the time. About right then? Yeah.

It was spring of 2023 right? Maybe talk about watching him, you know, said it was strange and bizarre to watch him play for the Lakers. December 2023, but so that's two years. So this is the new reality, your new reality as a Mavs fan. So that's two years. So this is the new reality, your new reality as a Mavs fan? Said Cuban had little to no influence on anything. And did you read this last part already? That Cuban had to expect what would happen when he sold the majority share, I thought was a.

And he says, quote, last year, things developed into that direction and he very bitterly says now we see how everything panned out which is kind of what has been the growing narrative out there is like hey really over the last year like the Nico and Luca thing was just not tenable and that of course because he's our guy we're gonna take our side on this, but that it was Nico's fault. That it wasn't like Luca was trying to piss him off,

he was just, he is an NBA superstar, and Nico didn't, wasn't nothing with that really. It's still amazing, and especially because he did work with Nike. Yeah. And Nike is like an agency to where, yeah, they assign a guy just to kiss some guy's ass, just to go get him stuff, do his laundry, or whatever he asks for.

This is part of doing business with superstars. When you have guys that are this valuable, we want to just keep them happy. And that's the whole hiring a relationship guy. He's a vibes guy. He doesn't know the X's and O's but he he has he's a people person and Like even Palinka, I mean Palinka doesn't really

He's not going to relate to Luca you know Dirk and Cuban I Mean, who knows if Dirk just thought Cuban was a dork and all that. And I think most of the athletes probably did. But still, Cuban's still related to them. Maybe it's more of a they're closer in age. Well, that's that. Although, I mean, Cuban is 20 years older than Dirk.

He one acts older, one acts younger. 15 years older, maybe. But also, it's mostly just that they knew he was really into basketball. Who? Cuban. So they may have been like, yeah, you're kind of a dork. But they talked to him differently

than they would like Joe Lakob and Steph Curry. But the Nico thing. I mean, how does Nico come in and not? Who knows, man. I mean, we've gone over this a million times. But yeah, that's your job is to figure that out. And if you can't figure it out, and if Jason Kidd is at a loss,

well, you get a new coach then. No one gets a new superstar, because they don't, superstars are not interchangeable. You just can't, there's so very few that can be that guy. Yeah. And you, you somehow backed in, you got lucky to get one of them and you just don't get rid of it. Absolutely not. Well yes, that's the number one rule. Yesterday was a day because we had the Mavs and the Lakers both playing. Let's start just a real quick one here.

My Lakers video, Clayton, if you want to play it, is a mic'd up from the game. Luka had scored 13 straight. He was having a blast. He looks super fit. He looks healthy again. They had got back Jackson Hayes who It's I don't know dude It's very hard for me to watch social media during Lakers games because people like oh Jackson Hayes good No, you know why he's what happened? Why does he look good now?

Yeah, like Gabe Vincent's hitting these open threes and everyone's like I've never seen Gabe Vincent this open their triple teaming Luca I'm like, he's gonna do this every game wait till you get LeBron back. You know what they remind me of the 2022 Mavs but a little bit better and They're a very very maker miss team, you know, they've got AR But the combination of Jared Vanderbilt Gabe Vincent Dorian Finney Smith Rui It's just gonna matter if those guys make shots. Like somehow they're playing good defense without a big.

LeBron and AR right now are probably both better than Brunson was then. So I definitely think the Lakers can get got easily because if they miss a bunch of shots, they're screwed. But they could also pull off an upset. I could, And right now, as much as it pissed people off to see me wearing that Lakers jersey the other day, the best solution or the best conclusion of this season is the Lakers winning a title.

It's the Mavericks having to forfeit a game and the Lakers winning a title. So... That'd be great. I can't remember who was I talking to about the Mavs yesterday? But the question is, do you root for them to lose and miss the playoffs, thereby having a better draft pick, or do you actually now want to root for them to win and somehow get into the playoffs? Whoa. Well, I guess I haven't considered it because they're not getting in. Well, they're on the bubble. They've lost ten of twelve.

They're still there though. I mean, Phoenix is this bad. It's headed one direction though. Yeah, but I'm saying there's a... look at it. They're in the playoffs if the playoffs start today, aren't they? They're in the play-in. They might be the ten. Yeah, I think.

Ten. Yeah, by game and a half, Phoenix. So yes, I agree. What if that's the game they have to forfeit? The Lakers one? The play-in. Oh, no. A lot of people are like, oh, they're going to forfeit April 9th, which I want to talk

about in a second. No, I want them to miss the playoffs. But it would be funny if they had to go get their head kicked in by Anthony Edwards or something. I kind of, I really, I mean this can't happen now, but I wish they were actually fully healthy. And it was a, whatever, a 2-7 matchup in the playoffs that they could play the Lakers. Be amazing. And the Lakers could stomp them to show them that yeah even your even your logic on

they'd be a better team now is incorrect yeah you traded a great tight end for a great quarterback Anthony Davis is the tight end if you're wondering in this scenario you guys want to watch this Luca mic'd up thing real quick I don't think I've ever even seen one this cool from when he was a Mav. Talking to me man. Keep it going, great defense Cory. Where you going Royce? Where you going? Talking trash to Royce.

Your toes are like, that's why you missed. You never missed. Throw in the line. Just throw all the way. JD's taking a free throw and Lucas just trash talking him. Oh my god! Hey I'm in coverage, yo. With everybody. I love that Lucas says, yo.

Yeah, that's the longest mic'd up we've ever seen. Again, it is the way he is between the lines. I mean, that's really the point of this whole thing. Is, yeah, you gotta deal with a lot of this shit. And a lot of this shit is also, you got to deal with a lot of this shit and a lot of this shit is also You know par for the course, but there's Harvey Weinstein shit There's as he says sorry shit There's a lot of this shit can mean different things and there's a loo Aluka a lot of this shit

Which apparently bothered Dumont and Nico and then there's a lot of this shit that other guys You know guns and whatever do but even if you made it not guns Did you just made it like? Malcontent this is the NBA right, you know, I take a look at Jimmy Butler a lot of this, you know You could take a look at Anthony Davis Who in his first go-around in the NBA was a absolute problem for the Pelicans and didn't want to play. Well, I want to bring up...

Kobe. Because in that Kobe documentary, one of the episodes, episode 2, deals mainly with the rape case. And while the rape case is ongoing, so they had won two championships in a row. The rape case is in the summer. And then the trial will start during the season. While that's going on, Jerry Buss has a press conference and signs Kobe to a big seven-year extension. During it, Kobe, just to say Solidarity. Look, there's stuff, but we still got to admit

This guy is the guy because when he gets between the lines all the other stuff doesn't matter. I mean if he ends up You know the guilty here or whatever we're gonna let it play out But we're also going to just pay whatever you have to pay because it's this guy. And then remember when Kobe, he tours Achilles then. And then remember the last couple of years of his career, they gave him another fat extension where you knew they had no chance of winning a championship. You knew they had no chance of actually.

Hey, they didn't make a playoffs, I don't think. He was a Globetrotter. But yes, it was like, well, but we're the Lakers and we want to have a superstar to build. You know, we got to have that. We still have to have that. Well, you can't pay him $35 million a year. Yeah, well, we will.

This is back when $35 million a year was like the max, max, max. Like nobody else made that much. Yeah. So yes, they did not know that they lined Kobe up and yeah gave him a big contract because You just have to you this is what you do. This is what the good franchise is do insane Okay elsewhere, I'll play you a little bit of audio from, uh, I still think about it all the time. I know I'm still sad. I'm not going to give it up.

I'm never going to give it up. It's well, the worst thing that has ever happened to Dallas sports. Oh yeah. Dallas period. Mm hmm. Uh, Kennedy's number two now legitimately as far as like, because here's what people forget about Kennedy. Well, I don't know what people forget,

but people in Dallas wanted Kennedy to die. Yeah, Dallas wasn't. That was like a home dub. This didn't hurt Dallas. Yeah. It did image-wise. Reputation-wise, city of hate, all that. But people in Dallas were like, fuck,

I don't know, can we celebrate this? Yeah. A lot of them. It was a muted celebration. So yesterday, of course, as I said, the Mavs and 76ers also played. It was PJ's first game back. This was rock bottom.

This is a game where the Mavericks were absolutely more talented than the 76ers who have had, I mean, as bad of a season as you can get as far as expectations go. The Mavs are at home and they lost to Quentin Grimes and some dudes I legit have never heard of in my life. And our associate or our friend of the show,

Fire Nico guy, nice guy, but I'm pretty comfortable saying that guy, he's got a serious main character. Energy. Energy and he's not letting it go. And he has season tickets. As he will point out on Twitter, he asked for a refund. And he was like, I would gladly have taken my refund and not gone to another game, but since they would not give me one, I'll be at every game. And I'm going gonna put Fire Niko

on my hat and my shirt, which they will not kick you out for anymore apparently. They looked at the public response to that, and were like, oh, there's still time to get that one right, so let's change course there. But he chants Fire Niko, he yells the entire game. He posted on Twitter that he started yelling to the 76ers area to like, hey, would you take Caleb Martin back? Who's not yet played for the Mavs and was traded to Quinn Grimes. And he said that

elicited a laugh from the entire 76ers bench. He didn't play a game? I thought he did. No. No, they lot. I don't even want to get into the Caleb Martin thing because the- it's insane. I also thought he did a little bit, but maybe I'm wrong. Am I wrong? I thought I saw some highlights and I thought, well, yeah, he's pretty good. I did kind of check out, but I don't think so. Okay. Am I wrong? Wrong guess?

It doesn't matter. He did play five games. He averaged like two points a game, right? It really doesn't matter. Okay. That is the five games I checked out for. It's a bad trade anyways, but the dude is yelling, fire Nico while the Mavs are at the free throw line.

And I have no idea why. Well, let's just play this real quick. It's PJ Washington after the game. Is that me? That doesn't sound like him. Unplug. Unplug and plug in? How about now?

What was that? Good. How about now? Past few weeks. All right. What was that? Everything that's happened in the past few weeks, I mean, I think some fan anger is understandable, but is it frustrating when you're at the free throw line? Like, people are saying stuff.

Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, the trades happen, we understand, we have a new team now. All that fire and ego stuff, we're sick and tired of hearing it We just want to go out there and play and we want the fans to support us no matter who's on the floor So that's just how I feel about it Now I don't have any problem with PJ having an opinion on that matter. It's his job. He's asked about it he's gonna talk about it now I don't I

I feel like yelling while the Mavs are at the free throw line is too far. But I have no idea why I feel that way. I'm not the boss of this. Do whatever you want. I plan to go to one game, the April 9th game. And when the Lakers are at the free throw line, we should be chanting, Fire Nikos, Sell the Team, Dumont. But I'm not going to cheer while the, like yell while the Mavs are at the line. I don't know why. It just seems weird to me. But he decided to do it and PJ decided

to give his thoughts on it. I saw people, a lot of people, Ralph, Strangis, his talk, pretty critical of PJ's comments here, basically calling him soft, like, in his talk's view he's like, uh, why don't you come to Europe, see what guys deal with over here while they're trying to shoot free throws. Yeah. And I think Ralph's was more kind of like, uh, why don't you come to Europe? See what? See what guys deal with over here while they're trying to shoot free throws

Yeah, and I think Ralph's was more kind of like how do you not understand where people are coming from? But PJ did just say like it's just how I feel about it Yeah, and he's you know, I Think they all hate it. Oh, yeah. I think the players all hate it. I think they like playing with Luca I think they like Luca. I think the players all hate it. I think they like playing with Luca. I think they like Luca. I think they don't like this front office, but I also think they get paid like 10 million bucks each or whatever they make and They want to keep playing and you know

If if a lot of things were equal and they had a choice to play somewhere else I bet they'll play somewhere else, but at the same time, you're in this terrible situation. But you're here now, they're going to games, they want to, yeah, and I agree with everybody. It's probably not fun to have that yelled while you're at the line. I agree that he's a little soft, but I also agree with what he said, you know?

And I also agree that I think I've seen some saying that, yeah, the particular fan who is yelling here is really bringing a lot of spotlight upon himself throughout this whole thing. And, you know, if that's his game, then fine. But I don't think... It kind of sucks that, yes, a It kind of sucks that yes a player has to comment kind of because of one guy yeah well and I also is taking it upon himself but whatever my guess is the players know basically just expect anything on April 9th but that's going to be the most electric or charged-up emotional sports atmosphere maybe ever could you imagine if Nico did like a pregame? I was just going to say.

He grabbed the mic and wanted to address the crowd. What if Luca did? They won't let him. And say please don't. Please don't yell anything? What does that mean? Can I chant MVP when he has the ball? Sure.

But don't ever, can I chant we love Nico? Cause you know there's going to be the thing up on the Jumbotron will say, fan behavior. But again, I wonder if they end up, if the Laker, who forfeits the game if the fans are unruly at the home, the Ma's would forfeit. I wonder if just people throwing stuff on the court, if. It's going to be insane.

I certainly don't plan on doing that. but I do think we should have we should have some chance I think you'll be in the 300 level right? Or did you get sweeter seats? Not sweet with a U, but good seats. Good seats, okay. Yeah, we're gonna be we're gonna be in the mix and then as I do because we're the dumb zone and If Dirk says this thing sucks then I'm out, we're Rangers fans now. Bought our Victory Plus package yesterday. Much better than the Bally viewing experience, I will tell you.

Wait, I want to talk about the Rangers package, but I first want to just mention Qualys Roofing. Of course. Big time sponsor. How can you watch the Rangers if you don't have a roof? Well, I think you could actually. That's a pretty bad point. You've not done it. I have not done it because Qualis Roofing came and put the roof on this here house. If you end up with getting a hail storm or something, you think you have roof damage, call Qualys Roofing or check them out online at the website, which is?

Qualysgc.com. We have had a boatload of listeners who have gone with Qualys. And that we know because they get a free sit-in when they do so. If you get yourself a roof, they'll get you a sit-in. But you can also just get yourself an inspection. They recommend doing that twice a year.

What's the reward for that? We got a t-shirt in the mix. We got a new cap. Yeah, just calling them, just hooking them up to come out and look at your place. They'll send you a t-shirt or give you a subscription to our show. Look at that.

Well, I should have told that guy that. I met him at the grocery store. Do you need a roof? Hey, how do I subscribe? Get a roof. Well you go to QualisGC.com Well, no just get in a free inspection that'll give you a subscription to our show But yes, if you want to sit in. So they hook you with the inspection We hook you with the subscription next thing you know you got a new roof and you're sitting here while we do the show QualisGC.com everybody wins so my question about the Rangers you got a new roof and you're sitting here while we do the show. Call us GC.com. Everybody wins. So my question about the Rangers, you got a hundred game package or no? The whole season? A hundred dollars for the whole

season. You know national games I don't know whatever. Will you watch 100 innings. Yes. I will watch 100 innings by the... 9 times 10 times... That probably... Can I get you in the first 20 games to watch 100 innings? No. But you can get me in the first 25. I think I... The end of May. That's a weird line of demarcation. How about the end of May? Yes. Okay. I'm gonna watch. I'm excited. Jared's on TV.

I'm excited about that for sure. Well, so yesterday Jared's the radio guy, but... And he will start joining us next week. We have a baseball guest now. A weekly baseball guest, Jared Sandler, the best in the game, in my opinion. But he normally does radio. But yesterday, spring training, they had I think had two games yesterday. But the White Sox one, it was Jared on play by play and Mike Bassick on color. And I got to tell you, man,

I love Dave Raymond and I'm not trying to push Dave Raymond out of a job. I don't even really know what the rest of their rotation looks like. I know they have the guy whose name sounds like the goalie coach, like Dave Valley something. Tyler Malley. No, that's a pitcher that they're getting back. I'm talking about the broadcaster.

Oh, Dave Valley, okay. And David Murphy's in there sometimes, tag still, but man, listening to Jared and Basick was pretty great. Was it? I watched two innings and I'm like, man, this is my booth right here because you know, I'm biased. They're my age, plus or minus a few years on each side. You have the perfect amount of funny, serious, dork, jock, cool, not cool, pop culture, like it just fit. Well it's funny because you don't think of Jared as jock at all. No, but he kind of is though.

Yeah, because he's a sports nerd. Yeah, and he plays sports and stuff. Yeah, but Bassick is the least aware of pop culture person that you'll ever meet. I know, and look, I'm not sitting here saying that I want Jared hosting the MTV awards, but he's at least enough to where it's a nice little balance. Well, I wonder if BASIC has gotten different though, being on the radio every day for just being around it for all these years. You have to.

Because when we first knew BASIC, I mean, he didn't know, and he didn't know like who Britney Spears was type thing. He just knew nothing about pop culture, but he knew everything about sports. Get the curve to move. Think he's mad about the Luka trade? I think he quit. And I don't blame him.

Because that guy's a bigger Mavs fan than I am, and I don't know many people I can say that about. He quit what? The Mavs. And I think he quit the NBA. He'd already been trending into a run the ball guy direction that happens. But, so on their broadcast yesterday, kind of a funny moment,

the White Sox have a Japanese player. I'd never heard of the guy before. He apparently went to college at Oregon, but he played his high school ball in Japan. And he's got like the weirdest Asian swing I've ever seen It's kind of like each row where he he's charging up first as part of his follow through You don't know the same. I bet it'll be pretty easy for you to pick it out This is just a little a little little ticket callback from our friend Mike Baskin. It is just audio

From the spring training game. They're talking about this guy. Oh, the other thing, Asian player, small guy. He wears a, or he uses a counter weighted bat. You ever seen one of those? Apparently Evan Carter used to use one. It's got like a donut below where your hands are. So like your hands on the bat but then like where the handle would be it's thicker and weighted. Problem with that is you usually only have one of them. Hopefully

he brought another bat in the dugout. They don't have to go up into the clubhouse to get him one because it looks like he doesn't have another bat but here you see the... Another show on the swing swing I'll say very Japanese swing right there is that's not really taught in the United States of America on kind of almost like a running swing and I don't think he brought another bat I think he's using somebody else's bat because this bat is totally different than the one he was hitting with okay we can I want you to hear the rest, but that's an obvious hat tip.

Totally different. Cause this bat is totally different than the one he was hitting with. Onoshido, born in Osaka. But he was drafted by the White Sox cause he played college baseball in Oregon. He was an eleventh round pick. It almost looks like if you've watched college softball. Yeah. Like he has a softball approach. He's almost

moving towards the pitcher when he's hitting. This is different. It is different. I liked him saying it's a very Japanese. He's trying to look for a it's kind of got some angles. It's just Japanese. But I I have a Japanese. He's trying to look for... It's kind of got some angles. It's just Japanese. But I enjoyed those boys' work. And then my final thing for you real quick. This is the videos, Clayton. This is elsewhere in our local sports.

Now, I was made aware of this over the weekend. And didn't really see a lot of social media chatter about it saw no clips whatsoever but just roll this first intro video here Clayton and you guys watch and you tell me what you think is happening as we go along here it's the audio thing again it It's like an animated doctor.

Yeah. I don't know how to do this without the audio. It's like in a Walgreens, you have a cartoon doctor. Doctor of Mexico, United States, says, Doctor Seem. It's like an ad for a Walgreens type company. Oh, Spanish. In the Dr. C where we will be witnessing a meeting with the Star and the Alpo of the Central Conference.

What the fuck? The Stars and Avalanche? The Star and the Alpo Avalanche. What are they? I don't understand. So they're promoting the stars and Avalanche so yesterday the stars and Avalanche played an ot thriller stars battled back from down to lost 4-3 and overtime and It turns out there was a companion broadcast

animated presented by something called Dr. Seamy which appears to be a popular pharmacist in like Mexico and maybe Nigeria and they just presented an animated version of the Stars and Avalanche in Spanish okay but like unlike how when we we have like the Toy Story game or the Simpsons game, this is not any of that. Now maybe Dr. Cime is a huge deal and he's like Ronald McDonald. So this just tracks.

But it's just the Stars and Avalanche using real time, just play another one. Do you have one you like more than another? Just play it. Just play it. Go three. Go three. Go three. Like it's set to the real cameras just like in the tracking. Like it looks awesome.

Yeah. And what station is this on? It was fast. It was online. Oh, it was on HBO Max. And yeah, now you got people throw Dr. Seamy dolls on the ice whenever they score. But you know, with the Toy Story broadcast,

you're catering to kids. Right. That's what I wanted to talk about. I don't know. Because you remember how, when you were growing up. Do they just not have the rights. How do we do in here? It was some special thing because again, it was on HBO Max.

So maybe it's through Turner or Bleacher Report or something. This is the only way to get the Hispanic into hockey. I guess. But here's the weird thing. Like it's very it's kind of cartoony. But you remember when you were growing up, you'd have like the real game Maddenden, and the fake game, Blitz. And on down the line. They had it for Cenerys and NHL. They had whatever.

Or like backyard baseball. That's what it reminded me of. This is kind of in between, because the Simpsons ones and the Toy Story ones are straight up tunes. This in a way almost looks like you're playing NHL 98. The Simpsons ones and the Toy Story ones are straight up tunes. This in a way almost looks like you're playing NHL 98. Oh yeah. Deshane's about to score again. Except a little bit more, you know, cartoony. It looks cool. And the goal explodes when you score a goal.

And we get the Spanish 5-0 play guy. And the goal explodes when you score a goal. And we get the Spanish play-by-play guy. And is this live? It's live, and it's almost exempt. I mean, these animations are great. Yeah. So again, I don't know, like, to Blake's thing, I don't know who it's for.

I don't know if it's like kids just are more likely to watch a video. I don't know. But that happened yesterday and... I mean I enjoyed the name under the guy and it shows you how fast the shot was and they had some other analytics throughout so I don't know, it wasn't bad. Alright we got Matt Bernick standing by. Ba-dum-zah!

Curiosity leads to large crowds in Mobile's Crichton community. Many of you bring binoculars, camcorders, even camera phones to take pictures. To me, it look like a leprechaun to me. I got to do a little bit of a treat. Who all seen the leprechaun say yeah? Yeah! Eyewitnesses say the leprechaun only comes out at night. If you shine a light in its direction, it suddenly disappears.

This amateur sketch resembles what many of you say the leprechaun looks like. Others find it hard to believe and have come up with their own theories and explanations for the image. My theory is it's casting a shadow from the other limb. Could be a crackhead that got home to the wrong stuff and it told him to get up in the tree and play a leprechaun. We don't get down to the bottom of this. Yeah, stay along there, guy. Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid, man. This guy helping to direct traffic says he's prepared for his encounter with the leprechaun. He suited up from head to toe. This war is all spells right here. This is a special leprechaun flute which has been passed down from thousands of years ago from my great great grandfather who was Irish. I just came to help out. Others just came to get lucky in hopes a pot of gold may be buried under this tree.

I'm going to run a backhoe and uproot that tree. I wanna know where the gold lay. I want the gold. Give me the gold. I want the gold. This is Brian Johnson, NBC 15 News. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. You know, you can order Bear Fight Whiskey at bearfightwhiskey.com. I was not aware of another way to procure Seth Brown.

Bear Fight Whiskey, that's like what's your bear fight in life. It might be just the beating that you're going through. A nice Bear Fight Whiskey is great. A little spicy. We had some this weekend. Smokey flavor. You could even get a little hint of vanilla or caramel in there. It is a 90 proof American single malt whiskey, aged in first fill bourbon barrels. It's fantastic. So here's to embracing your bear fight.

Sit-ins were drinking it Friday. Oh really? Yeah, loved it. Yeah, bearfightwhiskey.com. If you want to be like them or like us, bearfightwhiskey.com. Be delivered right to you. How about that? The internet bros. Joining us now What would we call him? He's certainly one of the dream team. I call him a dirty wonk. He's the great Matt Brunig. He is a journalist. Greetings. He is a wonk.

They were high school sweethearts and they grew up. I'm honestly super bummed you didn't play the theme. Oh really? I was listening to it yesterday like oh it'll be nice to hear Dan play this tomorrow. He's always so on top of everything. Yeah You know, I was upset that Matt didn't send me his intro for the audio grab bag So pass the buck. That's right I'm not never requested that oh, I'm not supposed to request things. You're supposed to know what I want Matt burning is a our attorney one of our attorneys He's a I always refer to you as our DC attorney yeah is that okay even though you don't really live in DC

that's where I was barred that's what all the the legal press on your case kept referring to me as the pro-hoc from DC that's right okay he's our beltway boy yeah he knows how things work. Didn't they used to be a show, Matt? Did I used to watch that show? Was that like one of their attempts at like a left right show? That's a good question.

All I remember was Red Eye. The beltway. You remember that one? Oh, of course. Red Eye was, Red Eye's kind of the precursor to whatever that guy does now, right? Uh, Greg Gutfeld, Greg got, what does he do now?

I think he has like a talk show. It's like Gutfeld live or Gutfeld tonight. I swear Fox, Fox news has like a late night talk show. Okay. All right. Yeah. I think at the time they were trying to compete with the daily show, that's we need a funny old guy, funny late night crew. And it never really panned out. OK, the Beltway boys were Mort Conracky and Fred Barnes, so not as much of a left.

I just always laugh. TC and I laugh, and I'll tell Dan sometimes. When I grew up in my peak Fox News era, it was really funny to me that Hannity and Combs, like Dad Hannity, who looks like a gorilla. He's just a complete, you know, he's doing Chuck Liddell training. And then opposite him they had Alan Colmes,

who looked like a fucking alien. Like they got the skinniest, dorkiest, like least masculine looking guy. And they had him. He looked near death. Yes, he was like a sin. Then a nice did die and he did die. Yeah No, they like to pick they're very clever about picking their opponents. Yeah Yeah, so no brunig in there. So we talk

We've talked beef in the past We got excited then you're like, hey calm down, don't get excited. Then we get excited again, and then you're like, hey, like Matt's kind of the calm down guy. If you get excited about something you shouldn't. Regarding non-competes. So even when we worked for the ticket, we got excited because we saw some news coming out. And you're like, slow down, it actually means this, and it's going to take this. And so where are we at in the world of non-competes? Has everything changed now that we have a

different president? Yeah I think that effort has mostly stalled out you know the FTC had its rule and then it went into the courts and I'm not sure has the FTC formally rescinded that rulemaking or not But I don't think the Trump run FTC is gonna be going after non competes anytime soon Nor will the NLR be they actually the NLR be the new acting general counsel actually did rescind That memo that we used to defend you guys successfully So he rescinded that. So that's no longer a move you can make anymore.

What is your belief in non-competes? Do you think they're good, bad? Why are they good or bad? No, I think they're terrible. I mean, for a lot of reasons, but the big one I like to focus on is I want workers to have power in their workplace, to be able to speak out, to not be afraid of their boss. And one of the things that non-compete does is it makes you afraid to lose your job because

not only do you lose your income, you know, right away, but you also lose the ability to go get income as an alternative. So I think it's a way to chill workers and keep them from speaking out and asserting themselves in the workplace alongside a whole variety of other clauses that you guys saw, confidentiality clauses, non-disparagement clauses, non-solicitation clauses. They all amount to the same thing. They put employers in a power position over workers.

And I think one thing to me that jumped out was that there's not like a primer when you're hired on. Hey, there's a lot of stuff they're going to tell you that's actually not legal by the NLRB's view of things and by the federal government. So, you know, I don't think we're breaking, I've talked about this before. I was told on multiple occasions, maybe this is what got the ball rolling on this, I was told on multiple occasions by management at Cumulus that I was not allowed to discuss the terms of my employment

with any of my fellow employees. It seemed weird to me, but I'd never really worked anywhere else in corporate America. But it would come up all the time. We would even call a meeting with multiple of us in there and say, hey, his deal is this, his is this. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh-uh. You guys can't be talking about that in front of each other.

Look, it says it right here. I've had a clause in my contract that said that. Yeah, and so then the first time I said that to an attorney, I was like, you know, it's it right here. I've had a clause in my contract that said that. Yeah, and so then the first time I said that to an attorney, I was like, you know, it's kind of weird. But they were like, no, they actually can't do that. Turns out there was like seven things that they could just put in your employee agreement that legally they have no leg to stand on.

But it's not like anybody really tells you that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and it depends on, you know, are you willing to challenge the clause or not. And it also might depend on who's in control of the NLRB, whether or not the clause itself is illegal or just attempting to enforce it is illegal. When the Republicans control the agency,

they kind of allow employers to put illegal things in contracts, but they don't allow them to enforce them. Whereas when the Democrats control it, they say you also are not allowed to put illegal stuff in the contracts. And then they still do and nothing happens, but it's an effort that they make.

But yeah, I mean, and it scares people. I'm gonna get a case right now that's gonna come out soon that's supposed to be covered in the Times. So we'll see how that goes. Where we got people subjected to a whole variety of non-dispersion and confidentiality rules. And they came to me wanting to just publicize their working conditions.

And I'm sitting here just kinda saying, you can do that. And they're like, ah, but we have all these agreements. I'm like, agreements? That means nothing, that's unenforceable. Just go ahead and do it. And but trying to convince people that they have that ability is tough. And then it gets even harder because not all lawyers are familiar with this. And so when

they go get second, third opinions, they don't always agree with me. And they're wrong. And I'm right. But you know, it's hard to sometimes persuade people of that. Probably my favorite part of litigation was one particular day in mediation when Matt was like, I can find you guys a lawyer to call that you will like, I'm paraphrasing. Basically someone that you think will disagree with me,

you can ask him. He'll just agree with me. And we provided a list of management side labor lawyers over lunch, call all of them and then get them on the phone with him and they'll agree with him. It was this happens over and over again. I'm telling you, I case I just had in, in Montana, there was a, just kind of a business attorney or whatever.

And he was trying to fight me on it And he actually wrote a reply You know how I thought we filed the motion to dismiss and then they never replied in your case They just said yeah and this one they filed a reply and then I filed a response to the reply and Then the thing settled like two days later or whatever the case had been going on for over a year They don't have no any idea what's going on. A little niche. Well, while your belief in non-competes, you were just talking, you listed all the things, the reasons that you don't believe in them, and they were very beneficial for the individual worker. My

thought is with society as a whole, which I know you are interested in as well, but everything I've read about non-competes indicates that having with society as a whole, which I know you are interested in as well, but everything I've read about non-competes indicates that having non-competes stifles innovation. Sure, yeah. And technology, and that's why Silicon Valley became Silicon Valley, and the Boston area didn't become Silicon Valley because one place had non-competes, one place did not, and you could take the germ of an idea over here and now you get other people working on it and other people and other people and yes that's that's how things become big. That's how that's how we

that's what America is actually all about. Yeah I mean I've seen this argument I think it's compelling I think you, in a broader way to put it is, you know, the way economies grow is through new ideas and innovation. And so whatever your system is, whether it's capitalist, socialist or anything in between, there's got to be a way for new thoughts to actually get implemented and to, you know, to have people give them a go. And when people are bottled up and unable to, you know to have people give them a go and When people are bottled up and unable to you know, try new things That that can make that very hard to achieve. So I think there's there's possibly some some pro innovation elements to

Making sure people can quit freely and go do whatever they want to do So I want to do an audio grab bag. That's one of your intros. It's going to be brought to us by Lucy today. That's why I wanted Matt on. I love, I think last year we threatened to do this like every couple of months, and then we did it like another year later.

So I'm going to threaten again. I would like to make this a regular feature because I love the audio grab bag on the Brunigs. I should mention the Brunigs is a podcast you can subscribe to on patreon.com. How about that? Matt and his wife. Matt drives to work with his wife every day. Just like we are. We both work from home full time. Imagine that. Right. Today he's brought to you by Lucy. Oh yeah.

Lucy is a nicotine pouch, Matt. All right. I was wondering, am I going to get a vice product or am I going to get a home contractor? You got a vice product. You got a vice product. But a lot of, well, I probably actually shouldn't read this part of the ad, but Lucy's a hundred percent pure nicotine. Lucy.co slash dumb zone.

Here's the way I explain this to people. You've seen pouches, they got pouches at your gas station or something. Think of those like as your, you know what a bad cigarette is, right? Everybody knows the brands they see and they're like, that's a bad cigarette. But you know the good brand of cigarettes

Nicotine and caffeine is a good for it's a cognition. That's right. Yeah. Woman, person, camera, dog, TV. You'll nail it. But he doesn't do nicotine and caffeine or he probably does caffeine no no I don't do either no no he means our you're our second favorite Trump oh that's right yeah yeah Trump and I are both

substance-free very different outcomes though interesting okay so audio grab bag if you said you put these in and labeled them best to worst Let's start with number five then the self-improvement hack when I'm okay. I'll just throw off the day in the life one But we'll go five through one on the other ones So I set it up at all sure Okay, so you know I know six and watches tick watches TikTok all day. Oh, my god. He had one. There was one yesterday.

The guy that works at Cracker Barrel, who just, OK. I didn't know if we'd done that yet. I don't know. Yeah, no, so I can tell that Jake's been on a self-improvement kind of arc here. He's been doing the creatine. He's been probably getting one gram of protein per per pound body weight and all that it's impossible Is it not is it I've it's impossible and double that I'm doing double that

and So I thought you know what look we got to get let's he maybe hasn't seen this health tip yet on his Instagram or wherever He's getting them and so I wanted to bring this to him. You're supposed to eat tons of olive oil Con tons. I use a liter a week of olive oil Oh, you drink it or you're cooking. No, I know I poured on everything. Oh, really? Yeah, pour it on everything. The only purpose of food is to get olive oil into your mouth This is what I told that really a few weeks ago Oh, I think the only purpose of food is to get olive oil in your mouth. This is what I told Dr. Oz a few weeks ago. Oh, I told him.

I think the only purpose of food is to get olive oil in your mouth. In Crete and Sardinia, they use a liter of olive oil per week. A Spanish study of 65-year-old people for five years making them use a liter of olive oil per week against a low-fat Mediterranean diet. At the end of five years, the olive oil users had improved memory compared to the low-fat Mediterranean diet. At the end of five years, the olive oil users had improved memory compared to the low-fat diet. The women had 65% less breast cancer than the low-fat Mediterranean diet. And they had less heart disease.

Leader week. Olive oil. Leader week can't be beat. That's the fountain of youth, huh? It really is. Olive oil. Olive oil. It's the founder of youth, huh? It really is. Olive oil. Olive oil. It's a secret.

It's a secret. There you go. That's the secret. Okay, a couple things about this one to me. Because I saw the video. So it's an older guy. Usually this is like, this kind of stuff will be told to you by dudes who are... Bro. Yeah. Bro dudes. The Affliction t-shirt type thing. this kind of stuff will be told you by dudes who are, yeah, bro dudes, the

Affliction t-shirt type thing, they look like they go to UFC, you know, and those are the kind of guys that I'm like, oh okay, if he says this, I will instantly start doing that, or at least think about it for a day and then forget. Yeah. The other thing is a key to getting these things sold to my tiny brain, a Spanish studies. We're so dumb. I thought the same thing. Whoa.

I was like, boy, that's basically double blind. Yeah, it's always just somewhere you're not real sure I could follow up on it. Honestly, there's probably four states where if they're like Massachusetts, I'm like, that's. For it, honestly, there's probably four states where if they're like Massachusetts, I'm like, that's gotta be better than it being tested in Texas. It's like, okay, yeah, now I'm on board.

I mean, I'm gonna have a tough time getting over the proclamation that food only exists as a delivery system of olive oil to your body. That's right. This regional plant, by the way, so like most of humans don't live where olives are so I don't really know It just seems implausible. I did also think like my leader what I think about calories Obviously, we're doing all the food track in these days, right? So, you know, that's a

1170 calories a day of just 10,000 a week? That's really gonna make it hard for you to hit your protein goal, I feel like. Yeah, tough to stay in a deficit when you're just topping off your coffee. Plus, it's quite an investment. You'll start to notice some improvement after five years.

Five years. Also, I don't know if you guys have checked the olive oil market lately, but that is not cheap. Especially if you want to get good olive oil quote that your Instagram wife tells you about. It's healthy-ish. It's like 10 bucks a bottle. Dang.

Or more. Yeah, none of these, he's got something way off. Yeah. Like these people are not eating a liter of olive. They would be 400 pounds. Yeah. These people are not eating a liter of all. They would be 400 pounds. OK. All right, up next is you already kind of mentioned it, but it's Cracker Barrel guy.

And so yeah, I can see why you sit in front of TikTok all day, because this is the one guy that I got on his thing, and then it'll just say up next video, and then I watch that one, and then I watch that one thing and then it'll just say up next video and I watched that one and then I watched that one and I like it you do get lost in this this guy's amazing this is the Matt Brunig of the Cracker Barrel he is committed man yeah hundreds if not thousands of videos all the same your commitment to the NLRB is what this guy is to the Cracker Barrel. Absolutely. Yeah. So I just picked three of them.

They're not in any particular order, but I feel like they give you a flavor. I'm gonna start with number two. All right. I was so happy when I found Cracker Barrel. There's a lot of people in the world today who haven't been to Cracker Barrel. There's a lot of days that I wait on people,

and they'll tell me, Mr. Mark, this is my first time to Cracker Barrel. So remember, find Cracker Barrel, be happy, get happy, tell someone about Cracker Barrel, they may not know. Mr. Mark, I'm sure they know, they don't know. So remember, find Cracker Barrel and be happy. I love his delivery and his affect. He kind of sounds like Jim Jones slash like Elvis, you know? The the Jonestown Massacre guy. He's like, oh, I'm gonna find Cracker Barrel.

He works at Cracker Barrel and he f'ing loves his job. I don't have time for that. You don't have time for what? I don't have time for anything but Cracker Barrel. So remember, make time for Cracker Barrel. Visit there for breakfast, dinner and lunch to go catering. There's one close by you. You say what Mr. Mark? How close is it? Google it. You can find one delicious food every time of the day, breakfast, dinner, and lunch, and don't forget they're waiting for you. They're gonna treat you so many great ways you're gonna love one of them. So remember,

join the Cracker Barrel Rewards Team. One of those ways. Love Cracker Barrel, live Cracker Barrel, and remember, find a Cracker Barrel. Yeah, it all starts there. He's got one where he's standing with a few of his co-workers I guess. Welcome to Cracker Barrel this is Cracker Barrel 569 we're asking a few of the employees here what they like about Cracker Barrel what do you like Miss Brittany? Oh I love the corporate structure and the people. And Miss Marilyn? Retail. Retail.

Retail. Absolutely love the teamwork and how we can all support each other. And we got Mr. Trenton here. And we got the people and the discount on the food. Alright, everyone have a great day and remember, go to your local Cracker Barrel. We don't get that discount, Tristan. Have a good day. Yeah, the guy that works there loves the discount that he gets. Don't forget, find a Cracker Barrel! We don't get that discount, Tristan. Bye! Have a good day! Have a good day!

The guy that works there loves the discount that he gets. Don't forget to find a Cracker Barrel! And I found one more that I thought was, well, I thought a lot of other ones were good, but this is one in addition to the one you gave me. What a world. Things are good, actually. Cracker Barrel is here for you. There's so many elderly folks who come to Cracker Barrel and they've lost their loved

ones and we know that. we're here for you. We're here for you come in any time of night or day and every location from coast to coast nation to nation. Cracker Barrel is here for you.

Remember, make it your dining choice.

We're here for you. Yeah, he's coming up with it on his own, I think. Yeah, that one I think could actually stick.

Find a Cracker Barrel, I don't feel like has legs. He tried that three or four times. If my grandpa is lonely, will Miss Brittany treat him right? They're here for you. Because they treat you well in more than one way. In one of those ways you're going to like. Also, on the video before that, I just want to say, I do have a lot of white trash in my background,

and I love Cracker Barrel. But let me tell you something, bud. If you're getting to go from Cracker Barrel, that is a very down bad situation. He's like, to go catering. Well, dude if you're picking up They do a pretty good deal Oh do they if you dine in you get a dinner to go for $5 Wow, which I've done was an Italian spot up here that used to do that Cracker Barrel does it

No, I said then this guy's right the Brunix said they thought he was touched. There's a Great fit. Then this guy's right. The Brunigs said they thought he was touched. There's a whole new. Listen. So I've told you guys this story before, but I have an uncle who has something that's similar to Down syndrome.

And that means he was functional enough to work, supervised work. But he was also extremely devious and hungry So he worked at a grocery store then he would stock and he would bag groceries, but he liked to steal and he was super hungry And so it was fun though because he would have like Stories about the store and I'm telling you if he had a phone He would have had a tick-tock because he was like the store mascot, you know, like everybody loved him. Oh, yeah. Everybody. The managers loved him. And they're, you know, despite the steel, he was like, you know, he's a sweet guy.

Did the Bernix talk about this or did I see it online that somebody said you should hire an autist? That was another audio grab bag item. Yeah, someone on a podcast. I didn't put it in this, but yeah, he was going off about how autistic people are great workers and you know, they're literal money, money hack money cheat if you hire one of them. Yeah. No, I think that most managers, whether they know it or not would agree I Do like one thing about this guy that I only now just realized is that all the video 90% of the videos are him Clearly outside the Cracker Barrel, but he's got a highway behind him

We suggest that they're making him make the videos out of the store They're like look we like it, but the corporate side of things is not. I feel like he's doing this on his own, though. I don't think they're making him. No, I don't think so. No, no, I mean to say that, like, why doesn't he just do it in the store?

And they're like, Mr. Mark, you got to. They're saying, you're causing a commotion. Yeah. Making this video here. Why don't you just do it somewhere else? Yeah. Yeah, just go into the parking lot, and then you can do your Cracker Barrel video

But they seem to like it and there are videos where you can tell if someone from like the regional office is coming to the store They're wanting to see them. So they're they're clearly aware and if they wanted him to stop I'm sure they could make them stop. So This is like a new thing. Who's the car dealer? We got on not car dealer, but yeah a new thing who's the car dealer we got on not car dealer but yeah like little places are getting their little fame from these I mean honestly dude when the whole China Trump tick-tock thing was happening that was one of the points again I don't know how true it is but there was a lot of talk about how small businesses that thrive on tick-tock going to take it in the butt. Like, would we?

Well, yeah, yeah. Well, they were defining a small business as a TikTok creator who gets some of the little TikTok money as well. So anyone who was getting here, they're like, I'm a small business content creation company, or whatever. And finally, in today's audio

We have What do you want to settle up? It's just an Alex Jones clip. I know It's a good Alex Jones fan And so I figured this one's from a long time ago when he was still skinny Alex Jones and It just makes me think of you guys a show more than anything else. So i'll just leave it at that Hey, what do you think of the cowboys? What do you think? What do you think of this? Yeah, did you see the simulated combat on tv?

Yeah, I watched it a bunch of rich gladiators that could care less about me Did you see it? Yeah, i'm empty too. Yeah, I did That's about me. Did you see it? Yeah, I'm empty too. Yeah, I did. I fill my head with facts and figures that don't matter instead of learning the political system and standing up for myself. I'm not saying sports are bad in and of themselves if you're involved in it, but not when it's

your whole focus. It's always the same. They're like androids. They have like a little fake conversation. So what do you think of the playoffs? What do you think of the weather? Oh yeah. And you start bringing up, I don't't know what do you think of uh...

the surveillance grid going in and you heard about how they're listening to all of us without warrants and told you about it which we're gonna have four it's kind of weird well is where they're doing it's very dangerous i don't care about ball politics i don't worry about that mac all really

they're putting the grid in place to rob you you fat Yeah, that's the classic my mom says no politics at Thanksgiving tweet You react out He's so good at working himself up like even in these hypothetical conversations He's starting to get mad at his own little character that he's come up with, sports guy. Yeah, I feel like, I don't know, I'm not like a smart person, but I think I have like a hyper active internal dialogue and I feel like I can tell what someone else does and

he does. Like I feel like he's doing that back and forth in his head about every decision he makes where he's just like, oh, let's go get some fetus tonight, Alex. Alex, you fat fuck, you know what I mean? Oh yeah, I've been doing that. You know what I mean? I feel like he's doing that all the time. And it's just, some people are able

to whip themselves up like that. Oh, what do you think of the playoffs? Finally. That should just be our sports open. That part. Yeah. Just that little part. Finally, my final thing for Matt Brunig,

known as a top performer in the world of internet trolling. What is your take on the Luka trade? We're out of time. Don't let him do this. I've got so much. And you didn't even prep me for this. So I really have been thinking about this a lot Okay. So first off

Before we get into anything, I'm not fairweather fans I'm not really into that, you know, you got to be stick with your team no matter what good bad You know, so some of the fairweather fan stuff. I've not been a huge fan of I'll be honest there. We'll get to that number two Look Trump's cracking down on immigrants right now. You know what I'm saying? They're deporting people. I read there was a story in the Times today there was a Brown professor who got deported she's been working here for a while on a visa work visa. They just looked at her. They just looked at her. I was going to say, did she work at Brown or?

Yeah, where'd she work? She was working at Brown University. Oh, OK. She has the same visa that Luca has. So Nico might be thinking about a little bit of the political tides here that you're not thinking about. Adelson's or got it near to the ground. What else?

I had another. He can't play defense. Oh, yeah. I mean, terrible for a culture. Company culture is first and foremost, right? You want a Cracker Barrel-like vibe. You too, right? He's not going to do the Mavs video every day about, come on down to Mavs town like Cracker Barrel man is

and that's gonna hurt sales and You know like I don't know at the end of the day. He's kind of a big whiny crybaby, you know And he's not getting any younger. So I say You know just stick it out, see how it goes. And you know, I think Nico, you got to give them you got to give it. I guess I'll say this. Let's say it is a mistake. Let's say it is a mistake. Have you never made a mistake? Oh, yeah. We're doing a cast the first stone type thing. Yeah,

so it was all perfect up until now, right? PJ Washington, Derrick Lively, Daniel Gafford. He's so what? He's 17-1. Before now, look, hey, add up all his GM moves, and then we get a percentage, and they're pretty good. Isn't that? That's what the owner is saying. He's saying, look, OK, yeah, but his batting percentage

is pretty high. He got Kyrie, he got Klay, he got, you know, and maybe even now, no one bats a thousand. Yeah, man. Okay, I don't know that he's capable of being, like, straight with us with his troll cape on, but you have to enjoy the uprising. Because-

Oh yeah, no, I love that. In modern times, you you know this is sort of we talked about this all the time like you just feel disconnected from the levers of power and you're just like look they people can just do things they make a decision based on self-interest or cruelty and you're just like oh there's nothing I can do and it's been nice for me to feel that little bit of like you know what we can collectively get mad about our thing that Alex Jones would make us make fun of us for,

and yell at the ruling class. And it feels good. Yeah, no, that's been great. And there's nothing they could do about it really. I mean, they kick some people out of the arena, but that doesn't stop them from chanting at FC Dallas and whatever. Medieval times.

He's just getting ritually humiliated. And there's no amount of top down pressure that can bottle it up. So I do like that. It's not like your specialty is armchair psychology of billionaires. But Dan said something earlier, like maybe Dumont eventually just realizes it. And he has some sort of a fire Nico four or five years from now when it's safe

there's a mea culpa I just don't see that happening because I'm starting to come around to the idea that these people you know Elon is a great example on the national scale of like he could be booed at a sporting event or a comedy show and come out and be like, they loved me. I don't know how people do it, but I feel like you get to a level where they're not rational people anymore. Yeah, you know, that's an interesting example because I had read, there was a book apparently that came out, I read something that was talking about the book about that event For Elon apparently it was like it was a crushing it was crushing of it

Yeah, right. Yeah, like behind the scenes apparently it like sent him into some kind of spiral good. So yeah, okay But yeah, I don't know about these these particular owners and how they feel about it I don't know. I can't really get a handle on, yeah, I don't know, with people like Mark Cuban and Jones, I feel like you get a sense of what they care about. I don't even know what these people care about really. Israel is one of them. It's one thing.

They're big on that. All right, well thank you Matt Brunig. Everybody go subscribe to the Brunigs. You wanna promote anything else? No, no on that All right. Well, thank you, Matt Bruning everybody go subscribe to the Brunix. You want to promote anything else? No, no, that's it. All right. Hey, did you see the story where like those workers in Italy got the musk memo? You need to read that one times like Italy they had some workers over there They're loosely related to government contracts and then they sent their musk thing over there and Italy's like yeah dude no I don't think you understand here you get a job and you can suck at it your whole life and you get to keep it oh yeah you know that happened with when he when Musk took over Twitter they were sending they were

firing all those people and one of the people he've tried to fire was in Iceland and they end up having to pay him like yeah I remember that actually like a disabled guy or something yeah yeah that was his move other countries disability yeah ruin people's lives all right Matt we'll see you all right the great Matt Brunik in LRB edge news today brought it brought to us by Frankl and Frankl and Burkett that's not their name but Gene Burkett is the other partner with... You talk about humble. Frankl and Frankl good dude tall dude yeah great shoe game anyway that's not why we're gonna talk about them they are personal injury attorneys. They will help you get

what you deserve if in fact you are injured and someone is at fault. They're the guys that are gonna get you what you deserve. They will deal with the insurance companies. If you get in an accident, call the Frankles. Eight. Excuse me, 214-817 and then all threes bang that 3333 33 33 make sure you're okay and then call our Bellas because it can be a huge beating they will make it easy one phone call 214 817 and then all threes news here's Jay with the dumb zone news all right we will pop a guest on here in a minute for some local news, but first up

I should have just kept Maddie B on for this one. The Texas Legislature is in session right now folks and because we love to do bits with acronyms Acronyms for bills, a close second to the names of sting operations. They try to get a little creative. This one is the Furries Act. bills, a close second to the names of sting operations. They try to get a little creative. This one is the Furries Act, the Forbidding Unlawful Representation of Role-Playing in Education Act. Nice.

So speaking of politics. Unbelievable. They were able to figure that out. I know. Because you've got to reverse engineer, right? Yeah. You've got to figure it out from the. No, it's writing a parody song.

I thought of a good hook. Now I've got to fill in all the other things. Hats off to him. That's a tough nut to crack. So speaking of your family member in politics at Thanksgiving, certainly all of us have had some brush with they're putting litter boxes in school classrooms, right? Yes. We've all heard this to some

degree. Which is silly, it's not something that's happening. Like I will give you there might be a handful of transgender males trying to compete in women's sports, but it's very very few. Like way, it'd be statistically zero. But I will bet this is, I'll bet this would be small for that community. Yeah it's a little bit unclear where this whole quote-unquote hoax came from. Yeah. In December of 2021 the rumor was shared during the public comments section of some random Michigan school board and it was quickly debunked. But then the leader of the Michigan Republican Party shared it on Facebook and then it got written about on the New York Times. It's come up in every

election cycle since then. 22 local and 23 national and 24. Joe Rogan mentioned it, knew of a school that was offering litter boxes to students. He backtracked it saying it doesn't seem there's any proof that they have put any litter boxes in there, which happens on Rogan a lot. He'll say something and be like, ah, his boy will try to find it. So it's straight up rumor. Now at the same time I'm not saying that there's not one kid in America who's never been like I'm bringing a litter box to school. There may have been one. Yeah. Just like there was a kid in my high school who said that he won a

concert for his birthday in the backyard played by Marilyn Manson from the new bag of Doritos 3Ds and the promotion they had. He didn't, but he said that. Anything can happen. But the good news is is anything now can't happen due to the forbidding unlawful representation of role-playing in education. To actually bring this up into a bill and all that. Now is this, I saw this alleged, is it that you are just trying to so, I don't know. Discontent, yes, with the public school system. If you make the public school system seem like this.

The enemy. Then you are able to get through your school vouchers, which it seems like most people are not on board with. Right? Yeah, yeah, it doesn't really matter, but. Right, but I'm just saying if you can at least see this in there, it's like, well, public schools are crazy. Yeah, yeah, that's a great point. I've read a couple breakdowns from education websites.

The teachers hate this. This is like a David Cross thing, though, where they had to put a law saying you can't have sex with somebody under 13 or whatever because somebody must have been doing it. Whereas this is opposite. Where like in the future if you looked at this you'd like wow they this was such a big deal they had to put a law in place. Yet it's interesting that it's never happened yet

there's going to be a law in place. Now non-human, what does that mean? It's like my kids, their entire... They're not human. Yeah, like they're little animals. But this is mostly for like... Like I say that about you or my wife when they're opening a... One of you guys opens a package, or she'll open the 12-pack. And you know, they have like the...

Perforated. This is a new argument, Blake. So yeah, they have the perforated 12 pack thing. And she'll like rip it open, just the thing. And then all the cans pour out. I'm like, what are you doing? Like, look how it's made to... But she needed that can real quick.

Well, this is not just that sort of behavior. And but she needed that can real quick Well This is not just that sort of behavior. It's also wearing it's also to be clear using a litter box. That's out But wearing a tail leash collar animal like ears Licking oneself for grooming who's doing that? Making animal noises such as I, meowing, or hissing. So you tried? No meowing?

They are prohibited from creating organizations or clubs related to non-human behavior. And they are also prohibited from promoting the belief that non-human behaviors are socially acceptable. What a waste of time. There are exemptions though. You can still have mascots, Halloween, and theater performances. So this is going up for a vote. Because why not? And then they'd be like, why did all these people vote no against this?

They must love this behavior. So speaking of the school voucher thing, Friday after the show this news came down that Keller has scrapped their plan to nuke their school district. Oh wow! Because of quote unquote budget concerns. Which means we had a couple school board meetings and we're

like that's surprising they're gonna plow through Friday news dump and sent it out members of the school board found out when they got the email that the public got now what's interesting is they lost their superintendent over this, kind of a back and forth. She said I'm out, they said F you, whatever. I don't know the specifics on that part of it, but she's gone, she could be back I guess. But their plan to sever off the west side of the district,

which is lower income, has failed. Again, they say that it's because they all have a lot of debt, bond debt, and dividing it up would require a lot of funding. So our good friend who has kids over there sent me this story on Friday afternoon and I just kind of jokingly was like haha wish they could have done this with the Luca tree you know let's let the public church let's let a quasi referent out there yeah yeah but alas but they didn't want that that have been a volatile summer bro that's right so do we want to go to a guest yeah that's a good segue. Yeah. Because people actually are showing up at city council meetings to talk about

Luka even though there's no reversing it or scrapping the plan. There was a guy that went viral the other day in Irving. Irving of course is the site, the Adelson's, I guess I'm gonna shift to Adelson because now I hear a lot of people saying it. Their purchase area a bit north of the old Texas Stadium site that they're going through the rezoning process to make it a full-on entertainment venue. So, mixed use for athletics, shopping, dining, bars, and of course, gaming. A casino, and there was a guy that went there

and sounded off, and we had a reporter on the scene. Reporter, do you read me? Over. Hello, do you read me? There she is, it's Jasmine, folks. Yeah. What's up? She'll make picks.

She'll talk to you about advertising on the dumb zone and she will go cover local sports and politics. So fill us in. Okay. So the thing that you saw was different from what I went to. So what I went to was the Irving Town Hall on Friday. And this was an opportunity, and I'll get to what you were just talking about. So that was an opportunity for citizens, whoever wants to be vocal,

to basically tell these people to fuck their casino right off. And they opened the floor, they really did, I was surprised. So about 500 people showed up. This was at the Irving Convention Center, which I'm sure didn't y'all have ticket stock there? Many times. Many times. Yeah. Okay. So you are aware of how it's set up super cavernous and echoey. So I tried to get audio, but it was all shit. But basically what happened was the senior

vice president for government relations for the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, this guy named Andy Aboud, showed up and did this stupid PowerPoint presentation, the whole time pitching this resort, never specifying it's a casino as if we're all just fucking stupid. And so he's standing there. Now, here's what's funny, and I was kind of texting Dan about this. So to set the scene It's standing or only people are fucking pissed. There's signs everywhere. Don't Vegas my Irving no to your casino I like it. Oh, it's so great No, y'all there were monks there

There were people from like the Muslim community. Like it was a very diverse It's Irving. Yeah, it's Irving. I People from like the Muslim community, like it was a very diverse route. It's Irving. Yeah, it's Irving. I was there in bright blue, like I blued out like we were in the playoffs, Luca, Mavs. I mean, there was no guessing where I stood on this issue. Yes. So I walked in and I sat down.

I made sure to sit right in front of this motherfucker when he was presenting. And I just sat like this as if I'm so threatening But I sat there and so while the city council person this guy named mark Cronenwet Announced like hey the skies coming up and he's like goes on and on like Wikipedia reads this Andy aboots Whatever as if we care and he's like and please be respectful when he, you know, gets up on stage. So as soon as he gets up, everyone's booing him. There's no respect. Hell, yeah. It's awesome.

And then the city councilman's like, I said respect, please. And everybody's like, yeah, whatever. So he gets up there. And again, this goes back to the absolute extreme tone deaf, just incensing part of this entire family where they just don't read the fucking room or know our community. So he gets up and he talks about how I'm a graduate of the University of Nebraska, nobody cares. And he's like, Hey, I'm a lifelong cards fan. St. Louis Cardinals.

You're just going to float that out here. Right. Not here. Unbelievable. There's like two baseball teams lie lie yeah don't say houston don't say st louis you're a royals fan yeah dude and i mean you could feel and i'm like this is how you start oh this will be great so then he goes into a spiel and people are just jeering and booing at him the whole time so then they opened the floor to questions and I was really surprised that they read. I mean, nobody was like fielding them and seeing what they were like. They read them word for word.

And so I'll give you what I asked. It was on a note card that a moderator read, but I said, given Patrick Dumont's approach to business dealings, particularly in relation to the Dallas Mavericks, how can we trust that the Sands is committed to true transparency as you expressed in your PowerPoint presentation for an hour and a half in its operations and decision making for what's best for our community? So of course the cloud, I mean, I was kind of- That's a banger.

Oh, I was like solid. And so then of course the crowd like clapped on that one. I was like, yeah. Feels good. And so I'm standing there. Great question, Dan. Oh, it does. Yeah. And I'm standing there and I'm looking at him. I'm like, yeah. And so I'm standing there. Oh, it does. Yeah. And I'm, I'm standing there and I'm looking at him. I'm like right here, pal. That was my fucking question right here. And so then he goes, and this is, and I quote, he

goes, I'm not sure what that person means by that question. Because I think everything that the company does is pretty transparent. With all due respect, I simply reject every notion of that person's question. Wow. Oh dude, the balls on this motherfucker. And then when he said that thing about, oh, we're fully transparent, people started screaming,

Luca, it was so great. That's awesome. Yeah. I read this story about it now. He says that the guy in his presentation revealed that 59% of Texans would vote in favor of a casino proposal, which was met with booze. Oh, dude, it was total hor-

So what he did, and look, to his credit, he's supposed to do what he's supposed to do, right? So he had this PowerPoint presentation. At one point, he had all these heat maps of these areas all over Texas where it's illegal. People are doing their slot machines that are unregulated. And we're like, no one gives a fuck. We don't care.

I didn't know that was going on, which shows you it's not in my face. I don't care. And you didn't destroy my basketball team. So it rocks. So it was just, it was, it was one of those things where it was so eye-opening how dense, tone deaf, arrogant go down the list. These, this entire group is, oh, here's the funnier part. Before he started, he's like, I'd like to familiarize you with the family that's behind this. This Cinderella story.

So they put up the picture of Maryam Adelson, the fucking picture of Patrick Dumont, and people are like, boo. And he's like explaining this wonderful heart story, this heartwarming story about how his family came to be and they just want a little resort here. And here's a funnier thing. He's showing his global portfolio, right? Again, tone deaf. He's like, and if any of you sitting in this room

have never been to the Four Seasons, we're in Las Calinas. And so then of course at that point, I just started heckling. I was like, really? Like the one down the street that's now a Ritz? We don't want your resort. He didn't know about that one.

Oh dude, cause they don't care. The thing is they just don't care about us. And they want to, and the whole time they're like, we can't wait to be in your community. We can't wait to be your neighbors. Like just, it was so weird and predatory. Like this guy got his fair share of shit. I mean, everybody was just screaming, heckling, booing.

The monks were like yelling at him. Fucking monks. And you said there are more meetings scheduled for this week that you will attend. Yeah, so tonight there's a really important one. It is the Irving Planning and Zoning Commission. And they're yeah. So it's open to like I put my name in.

I've got a speech written out. So they're going to have all these people. Yeah, that can take the floor. You bet your fucking ass. I'm putting the Dallas Mavericks as part of my why. But basically, after tonight, I mean, they're going to vote on whether that piece of land, that Texas Stadium site're going to vote on whether that piece of land, that Texas Stadium site is going to be rezoned for a casino.

But here's the other thing. Texas has it, this is why many multi, I don't know how much you follow this and I'm not a big government person, but once you fuck with my sports team, I'm all government. So they, as we know, obviously Texas, it's not legal to gamble here. There's no legalization of any casino. So the city of Irving and these citizens and everybody is like, well, why are you forcing this through? If it's not even, why are we forcing a vote if we haven't even legalized the gambling component? It's very, very suspicious, right?

So we're like asking these questions. And so tonight people will be able to speak in front of the actual commission and just tell them, don't vote on this. And then it'll go to the city council on Thursday. But then it still has, you know, you still have to, it still has to go through the state. Then it has to go, you know, back to the voters because you're changing, effectively changing the constitution of Texas. So it's, it's not like it's going to happen like this, but oh my God, every chance I can double birdbird this family, I'm gonna get it. So, you might be up getting to ask a question? Like, not even ask a question. You show up

with your prepared, what you want to say. Okay, so, up at the podium, like that one we saw that one. So, you want to go viral? Let me help. Oh, God god what do you want me to do? Well you get up there you say your piece you say your thing and like you want to make sure you get to say what you want to say and you fire that shirt off. I don't know. Just kind of fling it to the side. How much do you care about the babs? A seven on one boob and a seven on the other. Because I can promise you. What if, yeah, what if this guy's? Not at 44, maybe 25. Oh, come on. I'd lose my argument. 45-year-old boob's are nothing like 25.

What if this guaranteed us Luca returns? Yeah. Oh my god. Yeah. Let's go. Hang on, that's sad. So we'll see. I mean, what do you want? Let's, I mean, that'll get, that's a... Yeah, so we'll see. I mean, what do you want?

Let's, I mean, that'll get him jakes nuts, but yeah. So we'll see, but they're giving everybody five minutes max. They'll pull out the cane, but everybody gets five minutes that's signed up, and I went and signed up to speak. And I feel, so like backstory, I grew up in Irving. So my mom, the house I grew up in is like two exits from this Texas stadium site. So I have every right to fucking speak.

There you go. Yeah. So we'll see. We'll go get them. I'll go get them. Thanks for the report. Yeah. You bet. Hey, I need to get some dumb zone shirts for the monks. Done. You've come to the right place. Yeah. I think that would be great because the monk community needs to know about the dumb stuff. These are some very rad monks. I completely did.

I undersold monks. I thought they were quiet and boring. These guys were ready to party. These are some cool ass monks. All right. They make beer and stuff. We'll see you later. OK, bye.

There's Jasmine reporting live from Irving. Yeah, I don't really have much else for you, than to tell you that the Gateway Church guys you guys were calling him Romo He did turn himself in in Oklahoma This morning Robert Morris. Yeah after he was indicted. He didn't do an OJ car chase No 63 years old Yeah That Went to jail. Legit.

He didn't go to jail. Well you're right. He turned himself in. He's not going to jail. I don't know. I don't know. He certainly faces the possibility of that. But yeah, probably not.

The dumb zone news might insubscribe. What? No, you're fine. You were repping up? No, I know. It was awkward trying to shoehorn one in there real quick. Post-Jazzy Jeff.

Man, I wonder if I should do this tomorrow.

I know we got bits planned for this week. Oh by the way, I made the executive decision in the break that on Wednesday, it's a couple days late, but we're going to release the full It's Just Banter again on our feet, where TC and Dan broke down their trip to the Cricht. See, that's what I was doing this morning, is going through old Leprechaun audio. Yeah. That you just.

Meeting the lady. Let me just do what I was doing for you this morning. It will never stop, that's the problem. No, this will stop, because I was just going real quick, just a quick look, listen to the beginning of all these cuts. You want some crack? So we went to Mobile, Alabama in 2014 to find the leprechaun.

Excuse me. May I ask you guys something? What's up? Do you know the story of the leprechaun tree? Oh, it's a midget, Sean. That's a friend of ours. He's a midget. Well, gave it away. That's a friend of ours. He's a midget. Yeah, that's the first lady we ran into. She's outside wearing pajama pants. Before it She's outside wearing pajama pants. Before, it was big to wear pajama pants. Now, everybody's doing it. This lady was doing it in 2014.

Ended up giving us directions, of course. Well, you can take Hayes Avenue. You remember that, of course. She's got like a Marvin the Martian shower cap on. Our trip around, now she would send us to one corner, we would talk to somebody, they would send me. Excuse me. You know who Midget Sean is?

Yeah, I know him. Yeah, so everybody knows who he is. Hey, excuse me. How you doing? Hey, you know who Midget Sean is? Yeah, I know him. See they all know. They all know Midget Sean is? Yeah, who are you talking about? See, they all know. They all know Midget Sean. Y'all lost?

Do you know who Midget Sean is? Yeah. We're looking for Midget Sean. I ain't seen him today. What y'all... See, like everybody... like you walk around this city... It's a big dog. Everybody knows who Midget Sean is. And yeah man, we ended up getting his number and meeting him and met his cousin and we met Midget Sean

himself. Took a ride in the car. Yeah. So I said, you know, we know it was a Saturday. So I said well. That's Midget Sean. They got the Bigfoot, the lot less monster, you know what I'm saying? And I said, uh, I said, uh, well, we can send the leprechaun in the tree. Now, you know, so I climbed up to the tree, and you know, everybody said, there ain't no real leprechaun. And everybody thought it was the movie. But it was a real leprechaun. It was me.

Yes, and I guess on the It's Just Banter. So on the ticket, we of course talked about this and played some really short cuts. And then on It's Just Banter with the podcast format. Was it you and me and TC? Or just me and TC? No, it was all three of us, but it's an hour and a half of gold. Of just listening to everything in full. The whole thing, longer form audio, yeah. Okay. Are Are we gonna put it on our feed on Wednesday? Yeah. Okay. Look at that. Look at that business decision he made. We can't stop this freight train. What day is

today? Oh, March 17th obviously. On this day in 1988, Avianca Flight 410, a Boeing 727 crashed after takeoff into a mountain in Columbia, killing all 143 people on board. That was a big deal. You ever read about that? Did they eat each other? No, this wasn't that. The Colombian...just the theories on why there were so many jet airline crashes in a short period of time around that area.

And it was, I don't remember, it was a Closterman book or, but it was like there was lots of machismo involved. You're just like, I can make it? And if things were, yeah, if things were going wrong, like it was just, it's a cult, it was like a culture thing. Huh. Anyway, on this day in 1990, the Texas giant opened to the public at Six Flags.

Damn, dude. What a day that must've been for kids. I was so freaked out, man. In 1990, was this huge news? Yo, yeah. It was like- Like you saw it built. I swear to God it was like a sports team moving here. Yeah it was it was wood it was called Texas I was so freaked out the first time. Yeah I remember when they

opened the Titan it was very similar. Titan was big a little bit later but the Texas giant man you'd go on it and it was just so rickety. Never rode it. It was wood, and it was just herky jerking you back and forth. I would get sore riding it, and you're like, go again. Is that the one where the lady fell out? Yeah. And then her head fell out of her body.

On this day in 2005, baseball players. You don't know about that? No. She didn't just fall out, her head fell out. The Texas giant lady was straight up sliced decapitated. Wow. And I actually know someone. I got a buddy. That? Who was in line to get on the Texas giant when that happened. Was he also 500 pounds? No. He might have been okay then. Look what she was wearing. I see the... This is the day in 2005 baseball players testified in Congress about steroids.

Rafi Palmeiro, Sammy Sosa testified they had not used them. Mark McGuire refused to say whether he had. On this day in 2008, Paul McCartney divorced his wife, Heather Mills. He was 65, she was 40, on the grounds of unreasonable behavior. She was the anti-landmine activist who had only one leg. But it wasn't because she was in a landmine accident that she had one leg. Blew my mind.

It just happened to be. When I found out. One of my favorite cases. But a great spokesperson for it. Yeah, no. It's, that's a circumstance worked out there. It does remind me of the, you know, I've always thought that Mark Wahlberg made that Asian guy blind.

He did. Oh, he just beat up like a blind guy? Yeah. Okay. On this day in 2016, two things happened. SeaWorld said they would no longer breed killer whales or make them perform cloud crowd pleasing tricks because they got all woke Must mean that documentary must have just come out before this free willy no blackfish And on this day in 2016 Brendan Morrow officially retired from the HL by

Signing a one-day contract with the Dallas Stars Bad bit Elsewhere Former Ranger Chris Davis 39 Bad bet. Elsewhere. Former Ranger Chris Davis, 39. Which one? K or C? C.

Money. The masher. Uh, K is the one who guaranteed playoffs that year. He was here for a game. He did. Just hold him off until I get back, boys. Sam Bowie is 64. Of the high school.

Sam Bowie was drafted before Michael Jordan in 1984. The 1984 NBA draft. Take a look at it. It's tough. Olajuwon 1, Sam Bowie two, Jordan three. I can't remember exactly where, it might have been four that Barkley went. Perk four, Barkley five, Sam Perkins.

Wow. Yeah, not Perkins. Oh, okay, so the Mavs have Barkley on the board and went Sam Perkins. Mm-hmm. And Stockton was later in the first round as well. 16. I forgot to say this in the weekend check but first time the kid has seen Space Jam he's all in. The first one? Big Michael

Jordan fan now. Okay. He's running around the house saying I'm Michael Jordan and so typically what we'll do is when he discovers a movie that he likes we'd like to go get books about it and I cannot find a Space Jam book that features an MJ and not LeBron. Really? Yeah. The king went on an IP. Prusies a goat. Just erased it. Me a ham 53. Can I, can I stick my tongue down your throat? It's an undefeated moment. Danny Ainge is 66. Man, what a weird career pose. Like, well, yeah.

How about his early career? He was in the major leagues. Did you know this? Danny Ainge played for the Blue Jays he was playing third base when Len Barker threw a perfect game against the Blue Jays Wow yeah about that Cordero Patterson 34 I would have thought older and Cito Gaston is 81. Baseball manager, born in San Antonio. Brandon Iyuk is

27. Iyuk is on fire. Katie Ledecky, 28. The Olympic swimmer. Is she related to somebody? Probably. Tracy Wolfson is 50. Uh, journalism. Oh no, Sideline Lady.

Here we go. Eight bucks on eBay for an MJ Space Jam. Hey, did you guys know eBay is like not as big of a pain in the ass anymore? You can just straight buy stuff. Yeah, from businesses. Very quickly from businesses. You don't have to deal with... Yeah. I mean I got that my Luca jersey. Jersey T. Oh deal with. Yeah. I mean, I got that, my Luca jersey, jersey tee. Oh, OK, yeah. Yeah, it was just, I don't know if it was a business, though. I mean, business and stuff.

Ordery stuff online is great. So you're going to go there? So Amazon is obviously great. Come on. And Amazon's pretty great because, you know, now will you order three of something and then just send back the two that don't fit? I hear a lot about that. Okay, we've done that.

So this weekend, there's a popcorn I really like. It's Orville Redenbacher's Smart Pop, Little S. Caller, whatever. I'm trying to, you know, one step at a time, trying not to die. But it's not available in stores. I can't find it anywhere, but I find it on Amazon. And so I ordered a thing which had six boxes of this popcorn in it, 12 bags in each one, but I'll be set for the next year.

Okay? And it was like 49 bucks for the six boxes. That seems reasonable, right? It's less than 10 bucks. So less than a dollar a bag of popcorn is great. That's it. So we got in the mail on Friday, a huge package. Only four of the boxes are in it. And so what do you do? Do you send it back? And there's nothing on the thing, on the app, that says what to do if it's partial. It says if you have a dispute, like if it didn't arrive,

or if the box arrived empty. So I hit that one. Box arrived empty, what do I do? And it said, you can call this number. Or we'll call you back. It says, click this. Love that. So I'm on my Saturday walk.

And I said, all right, well, let's see if they actually are gonna call me back. Calls you right back. Some guy, ESL guy, calls. But it was from a number, at least they routed it through Seattle. Said Seattle. And they're like, I'm told of my situation, said you know I can't, should I send this back and then just have them send the correct six boxes back? They said well it's food so you can't return

food. So what we'll do is just, we'll just refund your account, and you've got yourself four boxes of popcorn. So how about that? Terrific. My story on why is shopping online a great thing? Year of Dan? The year of Dan might be continuing. Although I'm, I mean, Luca.

I'd be upset if you claimed a year but you know Luca has hurt me yeah but it's a long year I remain optimistic that things can get better for us I'm glad that makes one of us like the Browns might sign Russell Wilson dude how great would that be my quarterback my quarterback got engaged over the weekend. Did you see Deshaun Watson got engaged? Congratulations. Yeah, her last name looks like Anus, too,

Reed Timmer is 45. He is of the TV show Storm Chasers. But our feature birthday today, 46 years old, who in this room has seen her? Stormy Daniels.

Yeah, he was already dead. He was in a little Tim and Eric as well. Yeah, I remember that.

And that was Today in History. So two quick things. Over the weekend I celebrated my five year anniversary with you two. Went back and listened to the original audio of the announcement and I could not believe how much you guys hated me and wondered how we ever got here.

But the big thing is why is this clock in front of me turned around? It's time to discuss it. Well the clock, this is a dump, you're really wanting to bring this on the air? And I guess waiting two and a half hours in is the best time if you're going to. Yeah. Because it is Closing Remarks. I didn't want to lead off with it. Brought to us by Fair Lease. Okay. These are Closing Remarks. Yeah. Yeah so there's an alarm I didn't want to lead off with it. Brought to us by Fairlease. Okay. Fairlease.org. Yeah. Yeah, so there's an alarm clock, right? It's just a basic 90s digital alarm clock.

But I look at it every minute. Yeah, it fits directly to Blake's like 1230 or one. Yes, right in front of me. And today, that alarm clock is still there. So for the past two weeks, it's been an hour behind, because I understand how Daylight Savings works. So when I came in here and I saw it flipped around, I knew exactly what you did and why you did it.

But my question is, why not just change the time? So everything's a mental game with me. So last night, yes, I'm working, doing my stuff. Such an horror. And I saw it, and it was an hour off, and it was bothering me. And I went over to it. I was going to change it, but it's

like I got to work around the lights in here and everything. And it's like, it's kind of dark in here, so I'd have to turn on my phone light to be able to see the back of it and find the tiny button to change it and all that. And I just didn't want to deal with it, but I didn't want to be able to see the back of it and find the tiny button to change it and all that. And I just didn't want to deal with it. But I didn't want to be looking at it to know that it was an hour prior.

You know? For the rest of the night, yeah. So he just turned it around. So yeah, and then I didn't want to walk. And then I thought, why do I even have this alarm clock? And I played in my head. Why is this in here? This is not 1970 or whatever. Yes, we don't need an alarm clock in here.

But I realized, oh, I put it here when we used to do the show here for the ticket. And it was probably pandemic era and everything and because we had to be on the clock and just wanted to make sure I could always see a clock. Even though I have my computer in front of me all the time. I don't know maybe it was more for Jake. I well I enjoyed it. I like having the clock. Oh yeah so the point is then I just I didn't want to walk around I was thinking I'll just unplug it and put it away. No can't do that. Okay and then okay so you want me to fix the clock? Yeah I want you to either fix it or get it out of here because it's just weird. Yeah so then I just turned it around so you're looking at the back of a car

I just didn't want to be able to see it Because it would bother me, and I would mentally make me want to go to bed an hour later games we play Same time tomorrow you guys would do this again. Yeah, all right adios mofo Patrick's Day, guys. Thank you for watching my video. Subscribe and type for my name if you want to watch more of my videos. To me, it look like a leprechaun to me.
