Yasser-era non-fat cream or something. Yeah, Yasser-era low fat. RP gelato.

Israelis and cream. Brownie a la mode. Iraqi road. That's good. Happy Monday! Yeah! Let's change Mondays. Let's make Mondays great again. You're talking about reclaiming Mondays?

We're going to bring back Mondays to how they were. Alcatraz, Mondays. Wait, is Alcatraz in the news? You didn't hear about that? No. Well first I'll tell you that I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jake Kim. I'm Blake Jones. A little chilly buddy? It's cold in this corner. We have Clayton Kimbro here as well. I don't think he was related to any coach or anything But Lake's a little chilly got a little jacket on that's where all the computer stuff is I think we got some vents above me Or maybe I'm a bitch is that what you want me to say Blake wore his shirt that po-yito made for us

Yeah, why did anybody tell me the bit today? I we were just thoughtful enough to think of po-yito in San Antonio Yeah, I just thought what's the only Mexican shirt I got? Oh, today's, ah, OK. It's left you that fast? May the 5th be with you. Well, truthfully, that's not really an alcoholic's day. Again, that's a day tripper. Day tripper event.

It does strike me as odd now that my wife does have a dinner planned tonight. That may be more than I thought it was at first glance. It may be getting a little late. Yeah. Didn't see the Alcatraz news. This is incredible. It makes all the sense in the world.

Yeah, I mean, I knew what it was before you said it, but I'm surprised I didn't see it. But yeah. We have to open Alcatraz again. Of course we do. Get to work on it. I mean, he. Do it now.

Look, I hope this doesn't upset people who are Trump supporters or backers, but you can't not look at all of the things he says and not think. That's what I would have said if I were president when I were 10. Yeah. He's like, we have an island for bad guys?

Why don't we open it again? Sharks? Why is it closed? Put them out there. Why don't we close it because of woke? Hurricane? Don't we have bombs for that? Yeah.

Just exactly what I would have said in fifth grade. Who should be the new pope? I don't know, me. That's why when they do the, when they do the stories like that he has someone edit out, you know, just the edit, just the fight scenes in some movie or bloodsporting, he just watches, you know, monkey videos for eight hours. Like that's why it's believable. Right. Because think well what would a 13 year old do yeah give me the good parts yeah I don't know about eight eight cuz yeah cuz I think you got to be 13 to start grabbing them by the P but

I'm not sure maybe you can at the age of eight if you're a star they let you do it what a weekend guys what a weekend what a week coming up first before the weekend do we have anything? So what is on the plate for this week? Just to let everybody know what we have coming up. Are we going to be appearing anywhere? What's the Friday? Is that just a... That's just a person's place. Let me check the Jason calendar of the week. Yeah, just Fox next couple days, Den on Thursday, and then a paid Subby remote on Friday.

Now why do you passive aggressively now call it the Jason calendar of the week, with disdain dripping out of your voice? I don't mean it to be disdain, I think it's a funny name, the Jason calendar. No, our buddy Jason from the internet just said, I don't really like not knowing when the live streams are, or where you guys will be.

You need to release these things. And I remember seeing in a Tesla, there's a thing called the Joe Mode, where apparently this guy named Joe had emailed or just blew up Elon for a couple months mad that the Tesla notifications would wake his sleeping child in the back. And so there's a feature in the Tesla called Joe Mode

where the notifications only go through the front speakers to not wake up kids in the back. And I thought that's a nice little nod. So the Jason calendar, the Joe Mode, gets you what you need and has a nice little name to it. Yeah, and tomorrow we will have Jared Sandler to talk Rangers. He moving from his normal Monday spot. We might also have a professor who knows about humans fighting animals tomorrow on the show.

He's an expert. Well, I guess he's an expert. He wrote a book on it. I think that qualifies. And I've read a good portion of that book. I don't believe I... I had someone fast forward. I did the first 90% where the fight parts in the book were. Yeah. I read those. And on Thursday I'm ready to announce here, I'm not sure if you wanted me to, but I will announce that on Thursday we will have a big announcement. So I am announcing that we will have a big announcement. So I am announcing that we will have a big announcement, but it's not today. It's a programming announcement.

Look, this shit works for the NFL. What's going to be, what's going on? Just might be thinking about that now for a few days. Whoa, I wonder what they're gonna announce. Should be. Fake teeth? Is Blake leaving? Month for fake teeth?

Am I getting hair? Oh my god That'd be so good hair sponsors. Call me. Did you find your own Jordan Hudson? Did I find a Jordan Hudson? Did I find my Demi Moore? I did but I won't be with her for 20 years. I was just at the grapevine. Yeah 20 years. I was just at the grapevine. Yeah. Okay, so yes, we should talk about the fantastic weekend. And I suppose we could start by talking about the fact that we were out there at the Byron thanks to Tito's Handmade Vodka, and that will be our weekend check sponsor. Me or you? Me, Tito's Handmade Vodka is Dan, America's favorite vodka for a reason. From the first legal distillery in Texas, Tito's is six times distilled till it's just right, naturally gluten-free, making it a high quality spirit that mixes with

It was a fantastic time out there.

What perfect weather. I thought it was very cool. I'm glad that we did cancel Friday. I know there was a little dissension. We weren't all on that page. Maybe we should ride out this weather. There's a lot of uncertainty. There was not a problem. If we knew for sure we could get in, we might have written it out. Right. But, you know, it was a weird feeling. Like, now we're here. Now we're at home, it's Friday. But, you know, just woke up Saturday, just acted like it was a regular day,

except the old ball and chain is sitting over there wanting me to do stuff. I'm like, no, this is of job. Like, do you get a problem with- I don't wanna talk about it. Okay, you got the same thing then. I don't wanna talk about it at all. Do you, Blake, like does your wife think this is like,

oh, you're just going to play with your friends? I used to get it in radio too, but now it almost seems extra, it's weird. No. Like yeah, this is probably more of a job. Not probably. Like this is, I'm doing so much, we were on a sales call this morning for an hour and a half.

No, we kind of tag team Sunday to Friday, whatever. She works weekends, so I've got the kid during the weekend. Whatever happens during that time is my time. Okay, so if you had to go work Saturday, I just gave it to my sister. Have fun with your cousins. Whoa, you got a sister, bro? Mm-hmm.

Have you met her? This is like the sixth time you've had this reaction to me saying it. Have you ever met a sister? Is she white? Yeah, we're related. Well, you know, you never know. How have I never heard about this sister before? I don't know.

I've never seen her. Me neither. Yeah, you never will. That is not cool, dude. Oh, you're just afraid of my animal magnetism, and then. You end up as his little stepson. Yeah. That'd be bad news.

Wait, that wouldn't make you stepson. What if I was your brother-in-law? Yeah, your brother. There you go. Wouldn't that be cool? Or just your brother, your... I don't know. The one I got now... Side piece-in-law. The one I have now is a mechanic

and he fixes my car for free. Oh. That's tough. I can't compete with that. What can you bring to the table? Not a wedding appearance. Fun? Nope. Fun. Nope. Fun.

Yeah, and aren't I fun? He'll clean up for you. I'll bring the Lone Star. You do the dishes, yeah. Yeah, I fight that same battle, but you just press on. You press on and you go have a great day on Saturday. The weather was great, the whole setup, like the... I don't know, I was out there a few years ago

and I wasn't there. I don't know, like, did they, is that 17th hole thing new? Newish. Okay, but it wasn't there here once. No, maybe not. It wasn't like that. It wasn't like that. It's kind of like...

They got an alley. It was enclosed, yeah. It was kind of like it was a, it had everything but a dome over that hole. That's how... It was like its own little stadium. It's like that hole at TPC at the waste management. I am not familiar with that hole.

That's what they're trying to... I'm just familiar with that being a big party scene. Yeah. And so this was as well. And it was great. They got grandstands... it's a par three, so they got grandstands lining the sides of the hole, and then grandstands at the, behind the tee, and grandstands behind the green as well. So it's all enclosed in there. And it's, it's just fabulous. I guess one side is all corporate suites.

But air to air quote corporate, it's still a big part. Yeah, it's not like you're corporate fan. Like this is the time that the corporations let it go. And then they got the huge corporate suites, like at the end, the T. And then we were on the side that was more open to the public, but it was, you know, sponsored by Tito's. So that was the Tito's area. And that was like the wildest area you could be in, I think.

Yeah, there was a DJ. There was a lot. There was hots all over the place. There were hots. There were red pants DJ. There's a lot of guys who works out. Red pants guys. Yeah, it was a great time.

The weather was perfect. Found out what the CJ group is, Korean conglomerate. Can I talk about the younger hots with somebody that can tell me about this? So like, it's like you're mid-20s and you're all hot and stuff. But their face sometimes will look like the 40-year-old ladies that I know in Southlake

or even 50 year old when they're trying to they're getting botoxed up or the lip thing. Very popular. And you can tell, no mind whatever you want to you're working on yourself so that's great whatever you want to do. But when a mid-20s person does that it looks really weird. Like it fits with the older lady. I get it, you're trying to stay tight here. But why is the mid-20s girl getting lip injections?

Well, I don't have a great answer. They're already like, are they trying to be like when UT started taking Mike Leach's stuff from... There you go. Yeah, we're like, we're already awesome. We're now going to do the bit you're doing and we'll be even more awesome and just lap you. But it doesn't work.

It doesn't work. I agree with you. It makes you look old. But I think the thought is that you can prevent aging. I like mine like mine. Like you get in front of it. I like mine like Jordan Hudson, more of just a natural. She just looks natural.

If you're gonna be controlling me from the corner of the room, dude, can you wait till I get my 24 year old girlfriend just sitting over there? Oh my God. You think it'll be great? Yeah, and I wanna hear your daughter's reaction to it. That's the only thing that'll make it worth it,

the three of us, to put up with. I'm gonna have her stand behind Clayton, and she's like, get the shot, get that. I want you to change the will on the show to where she gets everything. Yeah, the reaction of your family is what would make it worth it. But girls, you just have to act nice to her, and she'll be fine.

You'll get a, I'm sure she'll slide you off a piece of this enormous podcast fortune. Now again, remember, she has to be, when this happens, 10 to 12 younger than your daughter, years younger. Like Steve Belichick's probably like 37. Yeah, I'm gonna have to wait. I get that you really have to have it to a point where it's just egregiously in their face.

This person is 10, I could be there. This potential girl is 10 years old right now. Yes. Maybe even eight. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah. But I did see, so it's a Korean group. And there was Korean food out there, Bibigo. Is it Bibigo? Yeah. Was a food vendor. I watched a lot of Byron yesterday, a lot. It was on for an hour.

And I saw a lot of Korean food commercials. Dan and I went into the skybox for the CJ group, and it was like Korean royalty. That part was not party. It was like 10 very, very, like, they looked like they were members of a royal family. Like very prim and proper, I assume, Korean people. But then I saw, I put this image in there, Clayton,

of the flyover. We were walking back to our tent and there's an airplane overhead that someone points out, and it is, I assume, an airplane with a banner being flown by Live Golf. And the banner says, Enjoy the Nelson and Live Golf at Merido, June 27th to 29th. Merido, another club course, big time course here in Dallas

that they're playing. It's also just enjoy the Nelson and live golf. Like why pick type thing, is that what they're saying? Yeah I guess so. Or are they giving a backhanded thing because they're trying to call it the Byron nowadays? We did discuss that on Saturday's golf show. I don't know.

Our contact to the Byron was like, I guess we're doing something right if they're thinking about us. Yeah, she was like, we're thinking, do we fly one over there, tournament or something? And I'm like, I don't know. I kind of want to go. To a live golf tournament? It seems like the saddest scene in the world right now.

Do they have one here in Dallas? The one they were just flying that banner for. Oh, OK. Was that a really dumb question? Because you just talked about that. I'm not going to tell you what is and isn't dumb. Did you say where it was? And I didn't listen to that either?

See, in the old days, you would be jumping in with me here. Yes or no? I'm just saying. Yeah just... Yeah yeah no put the banner back up it's fine. Did it say exactly where it is? Yeah yeah it's a course. The address? Merida is the course. I don't know what that means. But I said... What is Merida? A big course. Alright. Anyways it's not a big deal bro. We're reframing Mondays. But yeah, it just looks like for this big bad money to organ it, like they were supposed to change the, that looks sad. It's not even a cool, it's a little banner.

Like it's not even some, it just looks like a, like you called your buddy in Keller who has a prop plane and you're like, for 200 bucks, can I get a little coverage? Well, they're looking for marketing and they're like, where are the golf people? Okay, they're here I got yeah, I guess that makes sense You think it was a funny conversation when Liv was like, hey, we need to fly this plane over Like whoa wait What? Oh

Just an advertisement. Gotcha. So wait, you need someone who can land it? All right, just making sure. We're gonna need you to land. We're not gonna crash anything. We just want you to fly this banner. At first they say we need someone that can fly a plane

and you got 15 arms go up in the air. They're like, all right, we're gonna need you to fly around and fly the banner and then land it. And then you just slowly arm. Oh, OK. Where's the? Oh, there's going to be a meat carving station. It's just for Prime Rib.

Oh. Not an execution. But it had all the fun out there, man. I thought the sorrows were great. I thought Emily was great had all the fun out there, man. I thought the soroys were great. I thought Emily was great. All the fun signs. I like big putts and I cannot lie.

Come on, man. I did not know Tito's coins was a real thing. I feel like they were created only for the soroys. Yeah. For them to have little tokens for cocktails. Par-Te time. Yeah. Because par is like a golf term and then tee.

Who's your caddy, of course? Yeah, great stuff. Very good stuff. Then from there, I'll go, I guess, it was camping time. Fake camping. It's at a little park in the Grapevine, South Lake area at Grapevine Lake. And you have to remember this.

That's real camping for people who live in Garland. Yeah. They will drive over, I'm just saying. Right, I don't wanna over spell it. You live five minutes away, so it seems like fake camping, but it's a campground. There are literal campers there, there are tents, it's outside, but since you live five minutes away,

you're like, oh, this is, like in my back area, it doesn't really count. So it kind of does. That's a good point. I didn't want to oversell us roughing it. No, it's a good starter camping thing for you though with a little kid, because then if things went awry, you could be home in 10 minutes.

Yes, and if you need to go get cheese pizzas for the kids that don't eat grilled meats and vegetables, you can. And that was very easily done. But so this is a group of people, I don't really know any of the dudes that well, I've hung out with them a couple times now. That Nora went to preschool or Montessori with, and now we don't really know any of the dudes that well. I've hung out with them a couple times now. That Nora went to Presque or Montessori with,

and now we don't really, she doesn't go to school with them anymore. It's a loose association. They do play dates and stuff like that. We went to the winery when they stole all the Spectrum flags, but I don't know these people that well, but they asked, and I gotta tell you,

it was awesome. It was a great time. Thing one, you may recall a couple years ago, the last campground we did, I had purchased myself a one-person tent that was like this new type of tent for morons, me, because I can't fix your car like Blake's brother-in-law. And it was very simple, it was just like a pull up the top, the things pop out, and it was like 200 bucks,

but I'm like, that's worth it for me. Well now, your standard tent just has that technology. If you're willing to spend 100, 120 bucks, you get you a four person tent now with the new setup, the days of tent beating are over You're not sliding that shit through those little trying to bend it like where did the physics come from here? That's all done, dude It is a straight up it makes sense the legs fold in and then they fold in again and You when you need to set up you fold those out and you pull the centerpiece up

You pop and when the top pops, they lock. That's it. So that's a huge upgrade on the camping scene right there. So there were probably like eight tents, five or six other families. The girls all slept in a tent together, which for them is like, that's the coolest thing in the world.

When we were going to bed, by we, I mean mainly me, at about 10.30, because I found out the next morning the other adults stayed up until four. Doing what? Drinking. Yeah, but not even like crazy drinking. Like hanging out drinking, like a little rough in the morning, but they just hung out.

What are you talking about? What's the age? Because when my kid was whatever, five, or how old is your daughter? Nor six and a half. But there are people that might be 25 with a six year old. So are you hanging out with guys

that are 15 years younger than you? No. I think either all same age or possibly, no more than a year too younger and possibly older. And not from here either for the most part. They're like real professionals who moved for their jobs. So no, I don't think they were older, they just have more energy, I guess.

Because I woke up the next morning and everyone was asleep and I'm like, all right, I'll go work in the car. But whatever. But that's also your time, yeah. Yeah, so I'm going to bed and the girls, we can hear them in their tent, there's four, five, six year olds in there. And we were like, hey, stay in the tent,

don't go back down to the water, it's nighttime. I hear my wife tell them that and walk back to our tent, and I guess I think we can't hear them, and I'd immediately hear Nora go, don't worry, I'm going back down. She's like, I'll get it, we'll go back down there in five minutes. And I'm like, Nora, I can hear you.

She's like, okay, we're going down there. We're going back down, And just listening to their little, and the other thing too that I thought was funny, I've heard you talk about this with your daughters, like when you went from being the guy who is like, they wanna be around you to the guy they wanna laugh at. You're, at first you're feared and revered. Yeah, and then, yeah.

Then you become the joke. So that was kind of a funny thing to watch, just like how she would introduce me to her friends and then get played by kids. Like her friend came up to me at one point and was like, hey, can Nora come with me over here? And I was like, I don't know. Have you talked to your parents?

She's like, my dad said it was cool. I'm like, huh, all right. That happened three times. In all three cases, the dad was unaware. They were lying to you? Yeah, just different little kids coming up to me and trying to play me and figure out the power dynamic. But if you say yes, then they can go to their dad

and be like, oh yeah, he said okay. I know, but I'm not in that situation that often, but I was in it for like 24 hours of different kids just trying to play different parents against each other for this or that. It was a lot of fun. Had a guy out there who's meat guy, of course. I think he might even be like Brazilian.

What do you mean meat guy? He's the guy at the grill? Yeah. Okay. So he just had tons and tons and tons of different cuts of meats just nonstop. You need that guy. You gotta have that guy.

And we listened to the Stars game on the radio. Cool. By a fire, which I still smell like two showers later. But then, you know, in the morning, and even the setup part, just looking at it as a workout, like in the morning it's like, all right, I got about 40 minutes of cleanup here to do. Everyone else is violently hung over.

I'm not. So let's take a walk around the lake, bust down the tent, clean up. I don't know, the whole thing was just very, very cool. And my daughter was like in heaven. It cost nothing, so. 10 of 10, what'd recommend. And then the next day I was in a real pickle

because I'm on a ragtag flag football team that has been put together from the remnants of two other teams. We're seven and oh, last game of the season yesterday, one seed already locked up, I wanted to forfeit. We only had four or five guys. You need eight on eight. We were down from QB2, and we scraped together.

I put out the call on Twitter, got a guy. I don't know that he's a huge listener, but his friend is a huge listener, Taryn. And we also grabbed a couple dads, including one of the dudes on our team's dad, who's a freakish athlete, he's in shape, and I guess we thought, let's do take your dad to work day and we'll throw him a quarterback.

Oh no, no, you hide that guy. Well, he is in shape for a guy who's in his 50s, and he probably can throw a ball a mile. I'm not sure the last time he saw like a bail defender and hooked a curl, because he had thrown three passes and we were down 21-nothing. The first two went to the house,

the second one gave him a short field. Who yanked him? Himself, because after the first two, we were going out there and I was like, yo, maybe it's time we try our man over here. He's already the third string quarterback, like, so let's just give him a shot. And he goes, I'll say when I'm out.

And then he fed one into the flat. And he goes, I'm out. I was like, yeah, and he was cool about it. He'd throw two pick sixes, though, and have the balls to be like. Ah, he's the dad, and the game didn't matter, but I was like looking, all my guys I regularly play with kept going over to Tarrant,

the listener who filled in and apologizing to him, like, we don't suck this bad, we promise. I'm like, I don't know, dude, the scoreboard says 35 to six. Well, as long as it wasn't the God Squad that got you. It was not. It was not. It was super, super cool. And you also got the deal,

because people act like this is the NFL. They were walking off the field and they were like, don't get confident, that ain't the team we're seeing in two weeks. Don't get too confident. I was like, whatever. What about all this negative momentum heading into the playoffs though?

Can you overcome this? I know, I know, Norm would freak out if he saw all the splits we're about to turn in after. It just gets you used to it, yeah. Great weekend though, man. Had a lot of fun with you guys, had a lot of fun with the fam. Yeah, I forgot to mention about the weekend.

Balled out. So Elite Rides actually picked us up and drove us to the golf tournament. And I'm telling you what, that's a huge part of the whole thing. So Roy had never been in one. Yeah, no, he loved it. He was commenting.

And Jesse at Elite Rides just was talking about how they get a lot of reaction from people who listen to the dumb zone, or at least, or you know, you're dumb zone adjacent. Maybe you've told your wife about it and then she's used it, or prom or something. I guess proms are coming up. Maybe an escort that you used, and you need to send her home or whatever. I guess proms are coming up. That's a big deal. Maybe an escort that you used.

And you need to send her home or whatever. Like they'll do whatever. Yeah. And they're gonna do it in style. But it's not like if you get an Uber or something, you're just not sure. Are you gonna get picked up by TC and his beater? Yeah.

Or are you going to get picked up by like a real clean Sprinter van? Kristen told me on a work trip last week, she actually got picked up by an Uber driver who was smoking. Yeah. Who was smoking. Now with Elite Rides, there may be a situation

where you can select smoking. And if you want them to smoke, maybe they will. They're gonna take care of you. And they're gonna give you 15% off your first ride when you book via the phone or the app. That is DZ15 for 15% off. It's 844RIDEDFW or their app, it is EliteRides. Or EliteRides-DFW.com.

Book them up. Yeah, so that was great, because they will pick you up. They're really built hard for that. Like a weekend sporting event, like that's their game. They love that, but a lot of other stuff too. So I, like you, smelled like fire. Because, so you know, we live kind of like, kind of in the country type thing.

We got horses, we're horse adjacent. We're like lake adjacent, but we're not on the lake. We don't have a horse, but we have horses right across the street. And so we have lots of trees and stuff. So you know, branches with the winds, everything's fallen out. So we had this huge pile of sticks and stuff we had to burn at some point. And it's a real weird situation that we only have a couple times a year that we can have a really big bonfire out back. Cause sometimes it's real windy. And like if it's windy on a Saturday or a Sunday, well then we just can't do it. During the week, we're usually too busy. And then, you know, once it hits June or whatever,

it's just, you can't go have a fire when it's 90 degrees, you know, when it's dark. So yeah, we had a perfect day for it. Burned a ton of stuff. This is yesterday. So, and then we, then I did my garage project, which I told you I was going to try and do. And the worst thing about it is, because I've lived in the same house for over a decade now, I spent three hours out there, took everything out of the garage and then, you know, blew it all out, swept it, brought everything back in, never really got to the workbench. That was just too much to organize. So I'm going to have to get back to it. Your prized workbench.

And when you come over, you'll be like, oh, you did? Like, I don't think you'll notice it. But I had to stop because the recycle bin is just now full. You just, you need to move every five years, I think. Or else you end up with, you know, what I have. It's just too much stuff. We just gotta, and my wife never likes throwing anything away, so I'm throwing stuff away, like behind her back. And eventually she'll like, hey, where's that blah, blah, blah. And I'll be like, I don't know.

Yeah. When was the last time you saw it or used it? I don't know, four years ago. Okay, yeah, well. Yeah, I mean- So I's a lot of stuff away that you don't know about. It depends on how you operate. It's tough for me to separate two things.

One, you are really good at saving things, but also you want to move a little more lightly. That's hard to do. For example, I don't have the ability to be like, here's a letter I got when I was working for such and such, or here's this thing. I mean, hell, we've talked recently about me losing stuff in the move, that probably happens because I will throw away

anything not attached to my body. I have nothing, you know what I mean? Like, I just don't, but that problem is, I don't have any cool shit. You're like De Niro in heat. Yeah. Around the corner. You have to be able to get out of here.

Yeah. And so I think there's a pro and a con, you know? Like you've got a lot of really cool, now I'm trying to be better about it with kid stuff and you know, filming the mundane, but that takes no space, you know what I mean? Like having all your kid stuff eventually. and filming the mundane, but that takes no space. You know what I mean? Having all your kid stuff eventually.

It's probably better to be like you. Pro and con, but I try to clean things out every month. But yeah, if you need an adapter that fits this thing that I use. From 1994. Blake knows he can ask me. I know, and I love. Y'all are both kind of like that. It brings me great anxiety to have too much stuff.

Let's check in with Clayton, who perhaps was on Reddit slash fast food, or what's your bit? Reddit slash fast food, yeah. For weekends, yeah. No, I mean, is that besides the Nelson, or unless you have a Nelson tale you want to tell about your weekend No, I mean the Nelson. I just want to give a major shout out to the truck boys. Yep

Marv is a wild man Yes, our new promo man Yeah, he'll just he'll take a call from his work and sound like very professional very sharp And then he'll just hang up and just be Marv. Like it's weird, he's got that switch. And he's dressed like Caddy. He's a walking bit. Yeah.

Yeah, no. Yes, he bought like a master's Caddy outfit, and it said dumb zone on the back, and it had the number 69 on the front. And he was like, you know, the Caddy outfit is a, you look like a painter or something, right? It just is a full white jumpsuit. And yeah, people were just pulling him aside,

not knowing anything about us, but having a picture with him. They wanted to have a picture with Marv. Yeah. And he was running our promotions and most radio promotions people kind of look like me, sitting there beaten, but he was just dancing in the music,

taking pictures. Oh my God. He was the greatest. He was a huge part of it. Handing out stickers. Yeah. Yeah. So, he's great. TC's an assassin with a camera, just all over the place taking shots and helping, helped

us with the setup. Blake's a freaking wizard with audio, so. The setup looked really good. Yeah. Like the whole presentation I thought looked great. We had a bunch of great guys working with us and it was the first remote I hadn't had a panic attack at. So I was massively excited and then I also had a bunch of E-Fortelli pizza at home. So I was ready. I treated Friday like a Saturday. So then like Saturday was just another Friday.

It's a party. What was Sunday? Gemstones. Fun day. Can't mess with Sunday. So walking out of the building here last Thursday. Here at Fox Four. Yeah, here at Fox Four, Robert, our good buddy down the hall,

asked me if I wanted to go to Mayfest. And I said sure. So it's a, I don't know, a carnival in Trinity Park? I'd never been to Trinity Park in Fort Worth. Yeah. Really cool. I want to say that is the location of my proposal. Okay, yeah. Yeah, that we talk about that I had to drag my wife to because she was so hungover and I'd already paid for the photos. Yeah, it's a vast park, but you can drive in it.

You gotta drive under these. Yeah, you got a train going through. Yeah, this really weird old bridge you gotta drive under. Anyway, but you remember doing stuff like this at the ticket, you'd have to park five miles away. Did you park at Farrington? No. Okay. But you remember these days. Of course.

You take a train in, you walk a mile, cross this bridge, it was a beating. And sometimes I'd have, you know, run an engineering, I'd have to run stuff in there. But I'm here to tell you, when you get a TV parking pass from Fox Four, Oh ho ho ho! drive up to the police check-in station,

give them the little badge that says Fox Four on it, oh, right this way. Dude, we gotta just make this thing full-time TV. What are we doing? I'm learning so much more about how TV people expect things and this and that now. It's better when people ask you who you're with and if you say DZTV, it sounds better.

I just say Fox. I was like, I work for Rupert. I'm just saying when you throw the name, the word TV in there. Yeah, yeah, it does sound better than, yeah. Wow. Yeah, just parked right next to the gate. So I had reports from Mayfest from my family

that our favorite service dog in training, Poppy, was out there at Mayfest. Did you run into Poppy? No, who's Poppy? The dog. Oh, that one? Yeah. No.

I didn't see the Fox 4 tent. In fact, so when I was at the Byron and we were waiting for our ride after the thing, you know, our golf cart ride to get back to the parking lot. Yeah. There's a guy eyeing me up. He's in a golf cart. We're like behind the thing.

So the Byron has the grandstand, and then there's actual condos or houses or whatever. Yeah, shout out to Jaime. I met a guy back there. Is that whose house? Yeah, we met two listeners who have a house that backs up. You can, usually it overlooks the 17th green.

But they block it. But they block it with the grandstand. So we're between the grandstand and those houses waiting for our ride. And I see some guy sitting on a golf cart and he's eyeing me up. And over the years, you have this, I think you even said,

when we met the guy who got in the helicopter crash at the Stars game, you felt it. You felt somebody eyeing you up. If the look lingers, yeah, then you know. And then there's a guy lingering a look and then he's kind of like wondering. So that's what I felt like. And so he's a listener and he's wanting to know,

he's calculating the approach or whatever. Right, he's thought about this moment for years. Or he's about to get his ass kicked. And he's with another guy in the cart. So now they pull up to me. And he's like, hey, what are you doing here? I go, and cause Jake's over talking to Jaime or something. And I was with Saroy and I go, I don't know,

you know know watching golf hanging out like really who you with? Oh geez dude. And so but it was kind of like he's being so aggressive in my face I'm like okay this is a Marv type he's a listener who's trying to do a bit. And I said, what do you mean? Like, what are you saying? He goes, what's your organization? Who are you with?

And I'm wearing a press pass, and it said Dan McDowell, no puppet productions on it. Is he red pants? And I, no. No. And I said- No, he was super cool to us. I was like, it says it right here.

He's like, what's your name? Who are you with? I go, well, I mean it. And so I go, are you, are you fucking with me, dude? And he goes, no, I'm asking you a question and you're not answering me. Like he's really like, now I'm like, wait, are you busting, you're busting my balls, like this is fake you're doing a bit and you're gonna

reveal. This was after the show? Yeah. Okay if you can get me out of here faster than I can currently go then have at it boss. No but so like he's in my face and he's like and I go it's it's right here. He's like well I don't think you're allowed to be back here. And I'm like, wait. And then so now I see his name tag, and it says, like, security, whatever. He had no idea who we were or I was.

There were no bits in play. I'm thinking, oh, this is a listener who's messing with me. And so I start messing with him back type thing before I know the true thing, which is he's like kind of a cop yep and also like then I'm usually apologizing it was like a 60 year old very stern black guy like he looked like well no his buddy is the one who was talking okay the white guy okay because he's a jacked up did look to me like this guy done f around he looked like the captain from the wire yeah I got it I just thought he was with a guy who just

didn't know about us, you know. Yeah, OK. But yeah, so now I'm profusely appaul- sir, I am so sorry. I just thought you were a buddy messing around or anyway. Yeah, I walked back up. I kind of waited for the whole thing to dissipate and walked over like, what was just happening here?

We got a head from Rosie pulling in. She was like, the security team that's working this event today did the Rose Bowl in New Orleans after New Year's. Not the Sugar Bowl, yeah. She did say, cause I saw, you know, I mean, I know there's like this whole like militarization of local police, they get gear from the, whatever,

but McKinney had a tank out, I mean, it's a tank. It's basically an assault vehicle. And I was like, do you think we need it? Hey, if that live plane gets a little squirrely, you might need that thing. You might have to, look, get Raytheon back involved for that one. But I was like, you know, it just seems like a lot,

and our contact was like, yeah, but we did just do New Orleans, and you know. The thing is too, the press pass, I've always been, I operate under the assumption that the press pass will get you in anywhere in any event. So if you're like at a stars game or whatever, you're like, you just can walk into the suite area. Like, you know, they'll stop people,

they'll check their tickets and you just show them your press pass. Oh, okay, yeah, go on. I can just get into a suite with my press pass. Okay. So I did that at the, you said, what was the CJ Cup, the CJ group company or group that had this real exclusive area. And Jake's like, I don't think we can go up there. I go, well, let's just see. And it's like, now luckily someone was a listener.

They knew us, but I think we could have got up just with the press pass. Like, yeah, it's got a press pass. Just walking around. I want to see everything here. I mean, he's 100% right. And so that's when the security guy, like, I got a press pass, bro. I'm allowed to be here. Which is interesting, because he's right. And I know that he's usually right.

But on my hand, I look over and Dan's bowing. And I was like, well, that's why we don't let him in here. How many times you got to? Why are you doing that? You can get in most places if you have a confident gait. If you just walk in like, yeah, I'm supposed to be here. Why are you stopping me? It really does work.

Come on. It absolutely works. Yeah. By the end of our time in those suites, they wanted us to do the show there that day. Why don't you come on down here? So, Actually was fired up.

I went to Mayfest, they had a few rides, you know, just a long walkway of food, and it was cool, perfect day for it. But obviously I was there for Brooks, three year old wanted to ride the rides, and like each ride was $4 each, or I could get an unlimited wristband for $30. So I thought, Seven rides.

But the three-year-old, exactly, got him the unlimited and then it's just a game of, I gotta make this money work. You have to get at least eight. Right. So I buy the wristband, he rides a couple rides, I have it in my head, okay, we're at eight bucks, we gotta get to $30. And he doesn't want to ride anymore. Bingo. Yeah.

So he wants, what did he want? He wanted some Dippin' Dots. We walk along, get him some Dippin' Dots. Can't use the credits? Nope, can't transfer him over. And then they have a legitimate park, swings, rides, whatever, in the middle of the park, and he's doing that for about 20 minutes.

I'm like, what am I doing? This is free, we could do this at any point. We have to go ride rides. So then it's a manipulation game of, hey, whatever. So it just became a game of, can I get to 30, or how little can I make each ride? Just became value at that point. Straight established the run guy here. For sure.

Doesn't matter if the kid's enjoying it, just matters that he gets his proper ROI and feeling like he was able to use a coupon by getting two dollars extra out of eight rides. So I kind of built it up to him that the merry-go-round was like the coolest thing he could do on planet Earth, just so he would ride it. And boy, we can't update this thing.

What are we talking, what do you mean merry-go-round? The ride? You're just saying it's the same thing as it was when you were five? It's the same, BS since 55. Yeah. Yeah. What are we gonna do though? When I think of a merry-go-

Okay, you're talking about, okay, the carousel. The horse, yeah. Because isn't a merry-go-round also the one you just jump on and fling people off of? Like the spinning thing on the playground that like little kids aren't allowed to do? That's a merry-go-round? Yeah, I never called it that.

What'd you call it? I don't recall. But the merry-go-round, when you say merry-go-round, I think of the horses going up and down. Okay, yeah. For sure. I think carousel, but yeah, that thing is, boy yeah, it is. But what would they do?

I don't know, it just. That spinning thing, by the way, one of the great things on any playground, I wonder if Woke has ruined it. No, I know it hasn't. Okay. I know it hasn't because... Because it's not safe.

Dude, let me tell you a story. I'm not safe about that at all. So we went to Meet the Teacher night or whatever, like the first big night where at our school, all grades were there, and they just let them all out to the outside area. Oh no, you can't have bigger kids playing with them. And they were like, hey, we're going

to do this big silly string thing. And there's no teachers out there. Well, there were, but they're talking to parents. There's no one supervising the playground. And the big kids were spending a million miles an hour. Nora straight up flew off. Yeah. Like she was holding on. Dude. And there were there were like three dude a ten-year-old boy

You get three or four of them together They could kick my ass and they're running as fast as they can and spinning and there's just kindergarteners on there Flying off and I'm like honestly, I was like this rocks It's like that. I'm so happy that was another thing. I didn't mention in we in my part of the weekend check The kids are fine. Old talk of, you know, and I'm sure there's problems, social media, whatever. Dude, I sat there and watched

because all the other parents weren't. I watched from a perch as five kids just sat down there at a creek for two hours, and you know what they did? They killed minnows. Nice. Yeah. 25, 25, 30 of them in their hands, and I'm like, oh fuck, this is nice.

They'll default back to normal human behavior. Straight up Lord of Flies. Yeah, sure. So you know how we become an expert of things just by osmosis? We feel like, I've said this before, I looked at six diamond rings when I was proposing my wife, and by the end of it I thought,

yeah, I could be a diamond expert. I can tell you what's real and what's not. I was just up on my roof with Qualus, getting replaced, and by the end of it, I thought, I could, see that? That's a big hailstone, or whatever, hail damage. I think I could have run that merry-go-round a lot smoother than Jose was. There were a few different rides

where the row of giraffes were not taken. The carts were not taken. We've gotta maximize here. If these kids wanna ride the horses or whatever, then get some kids from the back. The ride has to be full to keep the line low, and it was not. Yeah, that is a problem.

Real lackadaisical approach to filling things up efficiently. I had slight disappointment in Brooks because he wanted to just ride the horse on the merry-go-round, and it upset me because he could ride the zebra, the dog, they had a monkey with blue jeans on. The horses aren't gay. Yeah, the monkey's fun, though.

Just spice it up. Yeah. Do something else. I think they should have you- Well, run the ball guy should have a boring kid. I think they should have you stand behind the horse while it goes up and down, and you have to try to figure out

whether or not you need a bucket. I was in line waiting with a woman who told me that she was a psychic. It's Mayfest. That's awesome. Yeah. And. How does that come up?

She was quick to tell me about it. And once I found out she was a psychic, I tried to like lure in to start talking about me. I wanted to hear some things in my future. But she just talked about her life, which divorced. No way. I don't know if you're a great psychic if you're divorced. Do you see this one coming? Right.

Could've saved you a little cash. Did you tell her any of these things or no? I couldn't get to it I wanted to tell her some things that she wouldn't my life wouldn't shut up. No, just typical. Yep. Yep. Yeah, you know what I mean smoker That okay. Absolutely. I kick. What are we? No, he's just trying to make you nod. Yeah, okay She must know that not gonna die of lung cancer. Yeah, that's a good point. Or on this carousel.

Right. That felt good whenever she walked behind me. Finally, a fear-free carousel. Right. So Mayfest was awesome, and then I was hit with the news last night, and this floored me, that the WNBA is about to start again.

Yeah, man. They just had the draft. They just had the draft. I feel like their finals was two months ago. Paige, Buker, yeah, well no, they have like three seasons. Okay, well the summer season. They're gonna have another draft like in two months. The summer season is about to start apparently.

I wanna go, but it's crazy expensive. Is it really? Yeah. Yeah, it is. Well, they're flying first class now. Are they really? Wasn't that the Caitlin Clark bit? Oh, I don't know.

Yeah, that was the whole deal all year. All I know is it's funny that everybody was like, I think it's really funny that everybody is saying, oh man, women's basketball. And then you have the WNBA itself, like, it's not just this girl. You got to remember, you forget, you're diminishing the Asia. Asia Wilson. You know, you're diminishing the accomplishments of all these others that built this.

This has been kind of growing for years. so it's not just because of her that our ratings are out of this world and women's college basketball but well guess what women's college basketball ratings this year we're right back where they used to be like before Caitlin Clark. Caitlin Clark is awesome. There's nothing wrong with saying it like it's it's an amazing thing to watch. But yeah, we don't care about Asia Wilson. In fact, maybe they should just let Caitlin Clark fly first class.

Like and have everyone else's in code. She's just kinda gotta look back there at him. and she's just kind of got to look back there, Adam. Yeah, there's nothing, nothing historically parallel about that at all. I'm fascinated with Paige Bukers because I think they're saying Beckers, aren't they? I don't know, I listened to one press conference she did and was like, okay, this is different. She's like all cocky, right?

Well, yeah, I mean, Caitlin Clark is super white. And Paige Beck, she just seems like a kid who grew up like a baller to me. Okay. I believe she has an affinity for hip hop culture that Caitlin Clark does not, like I've bought drugs from girls who look like Paige Bukers before.

They're wearing like the long polo, baggy jeans. It don't really seem like you're a sexual object and while you might not be able to kill me, you know someone who could. Caitlin Clark was very like, aw shucks, you're girl next door. I think Paige has a girlfriend. Hell yeah.

Ha ha. Hell yeah indeed, man. ["Wonderful World of Sports"] From the wonderful world of sports, a radio sports scoreboard. Oh yeah, I like that. Although, honestly I feel like that can be a problem because we've heard of, like there have been

WNBA relationships, I believe Brittany Griner was in one, that got really bad. Yeah, you need to trade someone or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Although, you know what's weird is, I think you guys wanna start Stars for sports? Actually I wanted to start with our sponsor, Ownwell.

Ownwell. Got an email from Carter just over the weekend. Email this weekend myself. Take a look at that the copy there on our run sheet. Carter's email says to say Ownwell works is an understatement. Take a look at what he sent, a screenshot of his address we won't read that but he all you do is you go to own what is it what's the website ownwell.com slash the dumb zone slash the dumb zone and total say with own well you take a few minutes just pump in like your address and stuff four thousand seven hundred and fifty $4,758. You could buy Greenland. That's unbelievable.

Massive savings. Seriously, when I did this, it said, they'll right away, if they can't save you, they'll know right away. And they're like, look, we can't really save you any money. Okay, cool. So that makes me feel good, a little peace of mind that my property tax, that's, I guess, what it's going to be. Why waste my time? OwnWell, $4,758 for this one guy. And they'll take a slice of that, a smaller slice than any other service will as well. But you got to go, man. The property things are out there now. Most counties, I guess, have them out in the mail.

Yeah. The deadline is May 15th. All right. And I got a text from a buddy, you know, hey, does OwnWell really work? And yeah, I guess, have them out in the mail. Deadline is May 15th. All right. And I got a text from a buddy, you know, hey, does Ownwell really work? And yeah, I was using Ownwell before we started doing reads. This is a real thing. It's great. They've saved me money.

Aren't you the reason? Didn't you like tell somebody in our sales, like, hey, you should hit up Ownwell. This is a great company. Yeah, like we looked for them. Right. And yeah, so anyway, thank you, Ownwell. Ownwell.com slash the dumb zone.

No, I was just gonna tell you guys, I was reading a lot about Miko Renten in this morning and I was not aware, I guess there was a situation in Vancouver this year, because like, you know, Colorado to Carolina to Dallas, but there was a situation in Vancouver where their two top forwards hated each other so much they had to be split up, which I didn't know about.

But it does happen, like two centers, their two top scoring. The Siddiing twins? No, they could never be split up. Like that's a story that I feel like if it were not hockey would have been a bigger deal to us. Like it's just two guys who hate, and I tried to find out why, and it's just like,

these guys just hate each other. It's not gonna get better. To the point where their GM spoke on it. So they just split them up, they didn't trade one? They traded one of them. Oh, they did trade one, sorry. They're the talk of trading both of them. But one of them, I believe, got traded to the Rangers.

After their GM came out and was like, we probably have to do something about this. These guys hate each other. But it is. Could be a Rick Manning, Dennis Ecker's lead. You know that's the first thing I thought. I was like, I was trying to figure it out, but it's also the Vancouver Canucks

and I don't care that much. But Saturday night was amazing. I went back and watched them on Sunday. Yeah, down to nothing? Down to nothing. One of the first goal was a... Did you see some of the stats? The Stars are like three and whatever, 30 when trailing after two periods. And then they won three of their games in these

playoffs after trailing after two periods. So they won three of their games in these playoffs after trailing after two periods. So they won three games all year. That's crazy. That is crazy. And then to do it against your former team. A rival and a team rival and your former team if you're random is crazy. A hat trick. It would have been cool if it wasn't just an empty net at the end and a natty-hattie would have been like actually the game winner as well. It

wasn't. That's the only thing that could have made it cooler because those first two goals, those are like there's ten guys in the world, those are video game goals. The first one is where he just is like I'm doing it. Because I think where they had ten shots through the first two periods, and none of it felt creative at all. Like when they don't have Robo and they don't have Miro, it's tough sledding out there as far as creativity goes. And that first goal, he just was like, yeah, here we go.

And just skated past everyone, cross ice, and scores, and then the second one, also a video game goal, because that's not supposed to work. Is that the wraparound one? Yes, where you're just like, I'm going as hard into the zone as I can to the corner with the intention of wrapping around, and frankly, if the defender doesn't close the gap with his skate, it's not going in.

Randen's trying to get that to the front of the net. Have you seen some of the still shots of that? His skate is on the board. Yeah, he's touching the board, this is going to be a goal. At the end of this play, it will be a goal. Those are awesome. No, no, there's no way. Yeah, but again, it felt like on both those

that he was just like, the only way we're winning, I'm the only good offensive player out here right now. The only way we're winning is if I just do this. And then, you know, if you go to the one to make it three-two on the power play, I didn't look at the score sheet, but I'm pretty sure he got the secondary assist, because it was just him to Duchenne, Duchenne to Wyatt.

And that was awesome, I mean it was incredible. And the way they locked down, I did wanna say that one of the second avalanche goal the McKinnon won, that was awesome. You don't see the guy who comes on the ice when the keeper leaves score that smoothly that often. But it was like the avalanche or in the star zone and as second as the hand goes up when they show the side,

like as soon as goalie's on, McKinnon just like leaks in. That was awesome. But yeah, the way it all played out with Renton getting three, getting the two they needed, being down, one great early in the series, we haven't talked enough about this story. And the truth is it's because it happened right after Luca got traded. Everything about the truth is it's because it happened right after Luka got traded.

Everything about the Stars is because of that. I love hockey, I honestly do. If it were a bigger part of our culture, it'd probably be my second favorite sport, but it just isn't. I wondered, did they make that trade in part because of Luka? I mean, I think at the time we talked about it as such.

Yeah, it made sense. Like they kind of read, they know they could get the DFW market. I'm way more interested than I think going forward because also- Like, hey, the team we share with, you know, the building- The building, the- This terrible thing,

their fans are canceling season tickets. We are kind of here on the cusp, you know, we're good. But like, I wonder if there were meetings, like, saying, we should pull the trigger, like, this is all lining up. Perfect. Because, again, Nico, you have to make some decisions also include marketing and how much money you can make and your fan, you know, the feelings of your fans.

It's not all just X's nose. Now, if it is just X's nose, Nico, it's still a bad deal what you did. You traded the quarterback for a tight end, but the- Yeah, well, I think those meetings happened because I think Jim Neal's really smart and I think they should happen. Yeah.

But hey, let's make a big splash right now. Let's go after the big name. And, you know- Let's just get it done. It's gonna hurt us short term, but hey, let's make a big splash right now. Let's go after the big name. And you know. Let's just get it done, it's gonna hurt us short term, but. When I had thought about the avalanche. The long term issue. Because this is because I'm not that big of a hockey fan. I had just always thought of Kale McCarr, Nathan McKinnon,

Landis Gogg, but I guess I didn't realize that Brandon put up the numbers that he did, but he was also somewhat viewed as, I didn't realize that Brandon put up the numbers that he did, but he was also somewhat viewed as, he's getting these numbers because of Nathan McKinnon. And like, is he really worth 14, 13 million a year if we think that he's primarily getting these points because of McKinnon? That's not even a good way to put it,

but that someone else could chip in and do that for less, or something close to that. And then also, they're looking at Kale McCarr's deal, I think it's like 2027, but they decided, we can have two guys who make 12, 13 million, we can't have three. And I remember at the time when the stars got him being like, what, okay, he was in Colorado,

but that was like a month ago, and he was in Carolina, like what happened? How did this all happen? And I figure if he's gonna basically will them do a playoff series win against his former team, I wanted to go and learn as much about it as I could. And it is an insane story, because just like you just said, the team marketing, the planning side of it,

this is viewed as a disaster in Colorado. Awesome. A massive. I like being on the other side of that. A massive disaster, because they basically, and they lost the PR game too. Like that's the kind of trade you wanna make. If you're the Lakers, you're like,

man, I can't believe the disaster on the other side. That's why I'm telling you. So they were, they say they were uncertain that he was going to sign a long-term deal. He's free this summer, or he was, until he signed a deal with the Stars. Heard that before. Yeah, yeah.

Now he says, no, I was willing to work with the team. I didn't need to be the highest paid player. You know, but they do have a tricky spot because Nathan McKinnon signed his deal a couple years ago and his deal's at 12.6 million a year, McKinnon I think ended up signing with Dallas for more than that. So the Avs didn't want to have him making, I guess, in theory, more than McKinnon, and also have to pay

Cale McCarr in a couple years. So that's the call they made, but he's like a fan favorite. He's a community favorite. He's a, thought of as like a superstar favorite, he's a community favorite. He's a, thought of as like a superstar person in the community. Over the last, let's see, since 21, 22, he's fifth in points, so we're talking about like a verified superstar.

And they traded him because they didn't think they could resign him and they didn't wanna, you know, they didn't wanna they could resign him and they didn't want to lose him for nothing. But PR-wise, it did not work out well for them at all. Now the weird part is they moved him to Carolina and took it in the shorts for that. They got back Logan Stankovin. Oh no, wait, we'll hold off on that part

because that's the stars part. They got back Carolina's top score and a few picks. But it was basically just that they wanted to get something instead of nothing. They did not get value for him. From the terms of like what you could have gotten if he had been signed, which he says he would have done. He says he would have done a sign and trade.

Also interesting, McKinnon for his part, when he signed in 21-22, one of these articles makes note, before signing that deal in 22, McKinnon talked about taking less than market value on a contract that made him the highest paid player in the league in order to quote quote win with the group So he did take a little less than he could have But because he took less I guess now he's selling it as a you know I took less to keep everyone together that deal did make him the highest paid player and yet in the National Hockey League

So he you know the comments from McKinnon were the ones that really stuck out to me because he's like never in a million years that I think he'd get moved. Landis Gogg signed his contract, like this is in game seven, the whole narrative is like, I can't believe the Avalanche overcame their horrible management, blowing up their team and its chemistry in the middle of the season. Because guys like this do not get traded in the middle of the season.

But since they lost, now it can be like, the vibes are off. They messed everything up by moving McKinnon's guy. But the crazy part is that he then got moved from Carolina. So apparently Carolina had been looking to get into the mix for a superstar for about 18 months. And they were ready to pay him. They were ready to sign Miko Renton into a long-term deal.

So right after he gets traded, Carolina's coach comes out and says he gave us a list of four teams he'd sign a long-term deal with and we weren't one of them. So we thought why are we even doing this at this point? They moved him to Dallas, they got a pair of firsts, three seconds, and Logan Stankhoven, who's a good player, prize prospect. So Carolina actually comes out great in this whole deal. Because they got a better trade than...

Way better, which again, right now, like I... If the Lakers decided to trade, Luca? They would get a better deal. Yeah, yeah. Like a much, much better deal. Yeah.akers decided to trade Luca? They would get a better deal. Yeah, yeah. Like a much, much better deal. Yeah.

So there's just a lot of parallels here. And it's fascinating. It's fascinating from Carolina's standpoint because they're kind of in a position that I was in, in my head with Luca of like, man, you know, these, these guys are putting up numbers. Kyrie had a, he's, did he have that resurgence because of Luca? Like, do we really need to pay him 35 million a year?

Like, McKinnon's that type of guy where every move they look at, they're like, I don't know, maybe somebody else could hit 40% from three and maybe we'll try someone else, because we got that guy, and it just worked out to the star's benefit at this point. So it might be that he was making them better. Yeah. Is what we're saying. Yeah. Whereas like same thing with Nico. Yeah. Look at all these good players we

have. We'll just sub out Luca for AD and we've had no no the Luca was making them actually better. They yeah so in the fact that you know that he came through against that team in that scenario, you can't write it. So it's a really cool story from a sports transaction background to the fact that the guy just plays like a video game player that you got control of and the rest of the game broke for a minute. It's a fun night.

It seemed like the Stars broke the avalanche because they were so bummed in the post game because they were aware that the Stars didn't have two of their better players. And so you know what, I didn't even mention that part. You bring him in to give you offensive punch and you're thinking, if Robertson goes down, we still have a dude who can get nifty with it. And the fact that he did, and they did it

without both those guys, and now you're resting while the other series goes. You get reinforcements. That's awesome. This could be very, very exciting. So there's a lot of chatter. I don't know, I guess some of this just play off hockey, but it seemed like Dallas fans were getting extra annoyed

with Avalanche fans, which is a part of it. And the rivalry goes back to the 90s. But it started to, I don't know, I got turned on to the Avalanche Radio crew. Okay. And like we've, you know, we talked with Nadal and Jared. Radio gets to go the whole way. And so these guys, you know, 100 games a year

with their guys year after year. And over time, I think it's just pretty natural for the play-by-play guy and the color guy to just become homers. Those are your guys. It's it's somewhat understandable. Well, Stars fans were on the watch as they were listening to Avalanche radio during the game and it was all fun and games while the Avs were up 2-0 and then the Stars began to score. So I'd like to bring you Avalanche play-by-play of the Stars comeback victory. Yes. Okay, so let's start with goal number one Clayton

Dallas Stars can't do anything offensive Dallas Stars can't do anything offensively if they're defending in their own zone Oh, look at this dude. Oh ranting it down the slot and he scores You're gonna give someone that much room They're gonna make you pay. And the avalanche laid off of Miko Ranton. The pick was actually set by Sam Steele. Okay, so pretty reserved. And Miko Ranton gets his 10th point of the series.

The stars are on the board. It's 2-1 Colorado. And I'm gonna let you in on a little play-by-play secret, because I'm an Argyle homer. I want them to win. I'm calling their game, but I want them to win, obviously. When you think that your team is going to win and the other team does something good, you over-compliment them because you know in the end

it's not gonna matter. Okay, yeah, I like that. Okay, Avs are up 2-0, there's no way they blow this. Miko scores against his former team. Hey, great play by Miko, okay? All fun and games, doesn't matter. Goal number two. Dallas on the power play. Here in the third period. Nico Rantanen has two goals and it's a tie hockey game.

A power play marker for the Dallas Stars and what was a two nothing lead has dissolved away. Wow. He scores, I don't know how. It was off his foot. Off the guy's foot. You know what, play that one again cause the audio's great but also the what, play that one again, because the audio is great.

But also, the Stars had this happen the other night. It might have been in game six where there was a puck that was up in the air. It just kind of landed behind Ottinger. Just the goalie and the defenseman, Girard, whose foot that went off of, they both just go, oh. Yes. It dropped his shoulderump shoulder it's

really funny through the neutral zone ramps up across center ice ranted it holding ranted it wants the wrap around throws it in front of these scores oh they're all just they're all three just no way from back there six fourteen to go in the third good I know what you're thinking. Maybe these guys are just not as animated as we're used to. Maybe they're just subdued, easy calls. Denver. Let's go back to game four when this is a call for an avalanche

goal to give you a little taste of what these guys are capable of. Nelson trying to make it not matter. Nelson, the need for speed. Landiscock! Yeah! Oh captain, my captain! Welcome back cap! Gabe Landiscock! That's the first round. The Norse God of hockey has made it three, nothing Colorado! Oh, what a moment inside ball arena!

The Norse God of hockey. If they ever needed a goal at this moment and for somebody to break the ice there, Captain Gabriel Landisgog catches it on on his forehand puts it puts it just in front of him so he can lead into it. Clapper. Just so good. Okay so they got some energy in them somewhere right okay let's go to the Johnston goal the the game-winning goal and see how they react. For Harley doesn't take the shot back for Rantana down low wide Let's go to the Johnston goal, the game winning goal, and see how they reacted.

For Harley doesn't take the shot, back for Rantini. Down low, wide open, back door they score. Wyatt Johnston on the power play. Staris have scored three straight, they lead 3-2 with 3.56. They go in the third period of game seven. Officiating has played a role here in the third period of game seven. Officiating has played a role here in the third period. Oh yeah, that was, people were questioning the ball. You know that game.

Oh yeah. Yeah. God, I just love that roller coaster from, oh we're up two oh, let's go to Winnipeg next round. Let's win the damn cup. And you know what, Officiating gave it to him. That's very good. That was a fun time.

How about the Pete DeBoer stat? Insane. Yeah, I mean, the Avalanche stat's crazy enough, but the Pete DeBoer one's crazy because it transfers across organizations. He has never lost a game seven. Honestly, when I heard that stat yesterday, I was like, we lost.

Or Saturday. Because you're just like, you know I want to be I don't want to be on the other end of that. He's now the as far as game sevens the greatest winning percentage of any coach in any sport. Minimum five or something. Red Arbok was 8-0 in game sevens. That's crazy. Hey, can I, I'll just give you a little brief other sports. Let's make that brought to us by Qualis Roofing. My man's. That is who put on the roof of the Dragon Den.

Oh, did they do your roof? I got a new roof. Is it all done? Yeah. Well now. A little drift shake, shingle color. Looks great. I don't even know what that means. You don't need to.

Damn, son. Okay, Qolus Roofing. They put it on and then they sent up their drone to take a picture of it. You get the aerial view of your roof. It's pretty awesome. Whoa. Well, they'll treat you a little nicer

if you mention that you're from the Dumb Zone. Seriously, they have had great luck with the Dumb Zone listener, and so we want you to reach out to them. It's Qualys Roofing, 817-500-9008 or QualysGC.com. Just for having them come out and just take a look, they'll give you a free t-shirt. Then you can tell them to pound salt. Pound sand? What do you pound? Not salt. Okay, pound something. And then if you end up getting a roof, they'll pay for a sit-in. They'll have you sitting in studio or the den or a watching party whatever you choose.

Get that roof inspected. You may need a new one. You know you're looking at it you're like I don't know don't let them figure that out. They say you should do that every year but I've never done that. But why not? What if you haven't done it in a couple years? Call Qualis. 817-500-9008 or the website qualisgc.com. Other sports, I just wanted to say, the NBA, how can you have a game seven on one night and there's also a game one? Doesn't that feel weird?

Of course it does. There's a game one of the Cav series followed by the Golden State series. It happens. Kind of funny that they end up winning and Steve Kerr... did you see criticism of Steve Kerr for pulling everyone in game five a little early? But that is a Greg Popovich move if I've ever seen one. Yeah. By the way, no more Pop? No more Pop on the sidelines anyways, but he will be running the team. Right, but that's very, very interesting.

He's been there for what? 25 years? That's like forever. You know who the longest tenured now is? It's gotta be Spolstra. Yep. It is Spoh. The video cut. The grizzled vet.

Yeah. Spoh. No, it's funny you mentioned that game because I did not watch Pacers Cavaliers yesterday as the Pacers beat up on the Cavs because I was busy getting my head kicked in at my sporting event. But my only thing here was that I saw a box score this morning and wanted you guys to see something.

So Darius Garland didn't play. Darius Garland is hurt. He has a toe injury and I saw some, you can put the image up Clayton. Saw something in the box score that I was unaware of. So you can see down there on the bench, D. Garland did not play left great toe hyperextension. Is that what they call the big toe?

I'm asking you. I've never heard of that. Me neither. The great toe. Oh, is it big toe or great toe? I guess so. Where's the second one the great one? Yeah I don't know. Like do you have a ring toe? It says the first toe also known as the big toe, great toe, or thumb toe. Weird. Well that makes sense you got your pinky toe.

If you've ever referred to it as that. It says here that one they refer to as the, okay yeah. You have an index toe? It says the middle toe, the index toe is the pointer toe. The fourth toe is fore toe or ring toe. Yeah, I don't know. So it's just kind of like look at the hand, see if there's an easy transfer. If not.

Yeah, I just, I'd never heard of great, the great toe. No, neither have I. It's kind of like a communist thing. But it's weird that yes, the NBA somehow has decided. Yeah. We're gonna go with great. News to me. Cause they're woke and they don't wanna like.

I was trying to make it a woke thing somehow. But I don't know if big is offensive. Yeah, big just means it's like fat. Yeah, I don't know. The great though. I'm fired up for Nuggets Thunder. I'll tell you that. I don't really have much of a rooting interest other than,

I guess, just not the thunder. I'm surprised that the Nuggets moved on, only that I think a lot of people were hot on the Clippers. They were playing great. They were playing great. Kawhi was in like peak Kawhi form it seemed like, and it seemed like, boy this could be the year they do. I don't know, the NBA is kind of fun in the way now that you're not really sure who's gonna come out of this thing. I think if Golden State came out you wouldn't be totally shocked. Like how about a one last run? Yeah. I don't know. I thought we had one last run a couple years ago though with the one

last run Clay. Is this now just Steph's one last run? I don't know. Yeah I mean it's at least a possibility that makes it nice for a storyline. But as far as the Clippers thing goes, I mean, it's... James Harden. It's pretty clear what happened there. It's James Harden. I saw on Twitter the whole... What's his name? The Brian Damaris rant on James Harden early this year.

Yeah. That really is... People are like, yep, guess you're right. See? That was a great bit by Damaris. It was a great bit. And it was It was a great bit and it was funny because last week when Harden was cooking, people were like, where's this guy? And I saw a bunch of like screenshots.

Oh yeah, yeah. Damaris ran and then he. That's the great thing about making any declarative statements in sports talk, right? Yeah. You're always gonna have a chance, you have a chance you're gonna be right, but then you'll be wrong eventually.

Just don't talk about those. Yeah. Ever. But man, I don't know, I saw that stat this weekend regarding Harden. I had to look it up. Was it game seven stats? No.

Or a closeout game? No, I'm aware of those. James Harden has played in 173 playoff games. He has four made field goals or fewer in 55 of those. Nearly a third of the playoff games. That's incredible for a guy that you think about him as. He's a shooting guard.

Yeah. He's one of the best, he's thought of as one of the best shooting guards of all time. A third of the playoff games, he has four made field goals. That's insane, like that's, I don't know like that's, I don't know. That's, you know, my top 75 of all time would never. Is he now, is he one of the guys,

certainly you're saying, best player to never win a championship? Man, I don't even put him on the Barkley level. And I don't put him on like, you know, Nash never won, right? Whatever list of guys, but those guys were, James Harden is the reason his teams aren't winning. Like, Dirk wasn't the reason,

Barkley wasn't just like the reason. Right. Harden is a different level. Harden is like Jay Cutler or something. Like some sort of weird NFL quarterback that you're like, I feel like on the right day that guy could go for 430, 4-1, and he might be able to throw the ball to the moon, but for the most part, you know.

This is my guy, it's probably not gonna work. Dad, that run with the Rockets though, he was. I know, and it was awesome but it was also very poetic because what made that team great is also why they lost which is that they didn't have a second pitch and Harden didn't have a second pitch. And they how many? 27. Three-pointers missed in a row? 27 straight I think. Fascinating though. I don't think I have anything else on the sports front. Bill Belichick remains in the news if this is sports.

The report is he's seeking outside PR help now. No way. Oh wow, that's crazy. What's she gonna do then? I don't know man, the thing's that's it the whole thing is absolutely fascinating to me. Yeah cuz you know like he's Bill Belichick. You know is daughter-in-law's popping off. He's the king of no distractions. I can't have any distractions. I don't want you to have any distractions and now he's got her walking around literally his practices. I mean

don't take this the right or the wrong way. It would be like you. Like just- Cause I've always said, I don't want, you shouldn't have your family at the games. No, yeah, like I don't want to hear any of this other bullshit, I just want us to get the job done. Do your job.

But I hope you would be happy for me and I'm happy for Bill. You turn into wife guy. Yeah, that's the thing. You'd be doing, I've never seen Dan in a photo for social media. I hadn't seen Belichick either, but I would. Yeah.

I'd see Dan dressed up as a Power Ranger or whatever. On the TikTok. Yeah. She's dressed like a salmon. Yeah. No, we would dress like something she was into. This is a big piece of broccoli. Whatever she's, you know, whatever.

A McNugget. Yeah, well, I don't know. We'd be dressed up as Logan and Jake Paul. Whatever she, that's what she's into? Yeah, well. Do you know how much younger she is than Jake Paul, Dan? Like, at least four years. Jake Paul is her senior.

Yeah. But no, I have that story, man. Where does it go? I just can't wait for football. Like, is she gonna be on the sideline? Or is she gonna be in the, do they show her in her Cruella baby blue box every week? See, the problem is he's boxed himself in

because now I don't think he can leave her. Boy. Yeah, I mean, now, yes, now interview him now about, okay, you just left her. What was that like? Here comes her 60 minutes or her. And that dick pic he sent is out. Yeah. Oh man, he's in trouble, boys.

I don't know if it's real or not, but the New York Post said, they're saying she forced her way onto the Dunkin' Donuts commercial. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That one I'd heard. So, then I saw something else funny on Twitter that's really not, it's kind of sports related, and it's also 100 gorillas.

Everyone know 100 humans versus a gorilla related? Where is it? It was a picture that says, who wins? 100 Don Zimmers versus one Pedro Martino. I should see this. Yeah, it was like a real shitty AI art. They made Pedro way big. Oh man, I'm gonna get a cigarette.

I had to go to Apple again last night because my computer wouldn't work. You went to Apple. I made a genius bar appointment. Oh, the Apple Store. Told you guys a couple weeks ago that my computer wouldn't charge. My friend took the back off, messed around with it for a little

bit. It was like a computer needs to go to Apple and then as soon as he put it all back together it turned on. So? So now I was in just don't let it die mode, which is not where you want to be two and a half years into owning a computer. But unfortunately over the weekend I let it die. So I went to Apple and I'm like, here's the deal man. This computer, it was on last night, but now it won't charge. My friend took it apart or took the back off and then it came back on.

He's like, all right. Goes to the back, he comes back 20 minutes later and he's like, it came on back there when I took the back off and then it came back on. He's like, all right. Goes to the back, he comes back 20 minutes later and he's like, it came on back there when I took the back off and plugged it in. And I go, well, what's wrong with it? And he's like, I don't know. The back's on too often. Yeah, I'm like, well, what do I do?

You just need to take the back off. Did you run any tests? He's like, I ran all the tests, it's fine. And I was like, all right, well, then I guess I'll see you next weekend. How about? Like his computer, his car. No, my thing with you though is you let things

like run out of battery. Like don't do that, why? What are you doing? I don't want to hear it from you. Why don't you want to hear it from me? Because your life is extremely easy. What? As far as like setup wise.

Like you're in one place, you have a charger there. My shit is everywhere. It's all over the place. It's in one place, you have a charger there. My shit is everywhere. It's all over the place. It's in the bedroom I gotta plug it in. I gotta plug it in upstairs. I don't have an office. And then you have like, you know what, so these chargers, look how light they are.

You can carry them around with you. You can kinda keep it with you. I was camping. I didn't have the ability to plug my computer in. And I'll tell you another thing. The USB-C charge, nothing. What is that? Just flick that.

That doesn't even charge my computer. It has to be the Magstrip. And I just, I went, I didn't have any. You run out of battery on your phone, like this happened the other day. I was in the middle of talking to you, and it was like, he calls me back 10 minutes later.

Oh yeah, sorry, babe. You're hard on electronics. Yep. Yeah. And the reason my phone was not charged that night was because my phone charger was in the living room so that my daughter had a long cord for her iPad. And you know what I have?

Maybe you'll get this way. Because I'm like, stop buying me Superman stuff. Yeah. Buy me chargers. So like the seat I sit in to watch TV at night, there's already a charger sitting there. Yeah. Next to my bed, there's another magnetic charger.

Dude, when it was time to buy a couch, when it was time to buy a couch, I lobbied hard for the one that has all that in it. Yeah. Dude, dude. They're really expensive though. My car now? That little Prosper Ford vehicle? They come with chargers in there.

I think just at Prosper Ford too. That's right, yeah. I don't think anyone else is able to get one. Special order for Mr. Ford. Yeah. Well, the computer is not my fault. I don't think you should be expected to have your computer plugged in 24-7

when you spend $3,500 on it. One of the features I thought I was paying for was turns back on. I don't know, I don't feel like that's a ridiculous assumption on the consumer part. I don't know, you don't wanna check your behavior or like what did I get myself into this situation? Suits over here that are like, I don't know,

are we sure the customer's not wrong? Well everyone else's computer's Don't let your computer die, dummy. It's $3,000. Anyways, sales at dumb zone. What if you talk about Lucy for a moment while we get ready for the monthly business review? I can do that, you know what, I can do you one better.

Warning, this product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. Well, I have to send a text to my friend Blake here.

What, why? Here we go. You just tell me yes or no yes oh you do yeah cool it's that time of the month it's time for the dumb zones monthly business I don't want to be in any of y'all's gay little alliances the king of all note takers load wolf do you want to tell them what the text was, since these guys are all like so? I don't want to know.

Just so frail. I don't. Dude, I'm over here kicking ass. Stars are winning. The question was, do you want a music bed during this segment? I should have asked them off the air, but I don't care. I think you do care. I do.

I don't. Yeah. I don't like to be the only voice you hear. I need music or something. Okay. Here we go, perfect. This is the April MBR. How'd we do, fellas?

Our subscription numbers are up. Whoa! Six new subbies in the world. Clayton! It pays for itself. So take the rest of the day off. Uh, let's start with the bad bit. I wanna, I wanna subscription update on all the platforms.

YouTube. No. Don't. I already did that. That's all fair stuff. Dude, you're missing everything today. All right. Why are you guys so mean to me? We're up six paid subbies. All right.

That's the good news. That's all that counts. The bad bit is, this is from a week or so ago, crowdsourcing opinions on Facebook. I could probably stop there. Yeah. Honestly. Crowdsourcing opinions on Facebook on how to decorate

your yard for your dead kid. Ho ho ho ho ho ho. Shouldn't be doing that. Yeah, I mean, that was a weird appeal, right? And it feels like it was kind of just a remind you that my kid died, but probably everyone remembered. That's all it is. And how open to these suggestions are you going to be?

Right? The other one is- Like if you were like, wasn't your kid really into Molly? You should do a Molly theme. You should do a rave. Yeah, I think she said something like, my therapist said, and that's just the leading statement. You want people to know you see a therapist.

There was a lot wrong with it, which is why it's a bad bit. Yeah. We did this for the first time in the last NBR. I wanna keep it going. It's our gummy thought of the month. This one actually came from a sit-in. And he wants to,

he wants to look at how we got the name of the state, Indiana. I think, listen, we talked to a couple people from Indiana recently who actually said they didn't think about it. Like until someone pointed it out to them. And I certainly didn't, as we were changing all this other stuff, it never occurred to me that there's one up there, if the whole point

of this deal is racism, there's just a state called Racista, they just added an A to the end of it and I've never ever considered that. I don't think of Indiana as a heavy Native American area, but I guess really everything was. It's just kind of their place. In America, there were Native Americans all over? Yeah, I mean, in my head, you know, I grew up here, and I grew up hearing about my heritage,

you know, that everybody here probably had, and so to me, I'm like, what, Ohio, Indian? But those are all just Indian names. Like Ohio is a native word, right? It's gotta be. Probably, but yeah. Just sound it out and tell me that. Hiahaga?

Yeah. Whatever, that feels like that's not, that didn't come over from across the pond. Right. It's because they use the soft A and not a hard R on the end of it. Okay. Yeah, Indiana.

Indiana. Things Dan and Jake want. This is the want list. We don't like your kind, Indiana. Let's go back to April 1st, where we would like DZTV to win an Emmy. Yeah, I need to. Wouldn't that be cool?

Well, that's right, we have to submit something, though. I think you do have to submit. How about the Nadel thing? Like, we can ride the coattails of others. Yeah. You know, so if we book a huge guest or something. Or we break a story. Can we break a story?

Yeah, no. What if you send them Jake doing tit for tat at the Luka game? Why don't we send him Kevin Farley? Why don't you die? Why don't you fall through your new roof and then have to call the bag? This is when we had Kevin Farley on. God damn, I've been digging out of that hole for a week and a half now.

I feel like I've done enough. He's funny. Wait, just wait. Dude, leave it to Kevin. It's Kevin Farley, guys. April 14th, Jake has always wanted to get into college baseball. It sounds like a bluff, just something

that he'd say just to make baseball fans happy. I can tell you that every year when the College World Series starts, I at least put it on at night. And watch it. It's cool. Like I went to college and my roommate was a college baseball player and I never wanted to get into college baseball. No and I get that but when I see like LSU in Texas

and like all the dudes just look like cartoon characters, swag lords, it's exciting to me. But the truth is I feel like Major League Baseball is embracing the bit more than they used to, so. April 14th, Dan wants Jim Nance to be fired because he announced his own retirement. Yeah, it's probably not happening without a

well, didn't he also announce it like dead girl? He's retiring in 2035. Eight years from now, yeah. Right. That's why I ended up looking up the Kareem retirement tour gift list. The funniest possible outcome.

Where is that? By far, and I don't know what the deal is. It's probably not a deal. It's probably a year to year handshake. But the funniest outcome would be that CBS loses the Masters. No, I want them to get fired because yes, just like Brent Musburger back in the 80s or whenever, got fired. And there was only, back then too. It was like you were just the guy. There was one guy at each network that you knew was the guy. Bob Costas at NBC, Brent Musburger at CBS. I don't even think there was a Fox yet.

Well, it was. Yeah. I mean, you might've thought of Al Michaels almost as ABC. ABC. Yeah. But then, yeah, Musburger all of a sudden just gets, cause he was on every event they had. So if they had golf, if they had NASCAR, whatever they had, he would be the guy that was there. That used to be Bob Costas. If they had the Olympics, you know, he's there. And yes, Musburger got fired. So yes, that would be so great.

Because when you announce your retirement, eight years from now, you're kind of saying, well, now you have to... You have to sign me for another contract. I mean, I'm Jim Nance, who could ever replace Jim Nance, so please. What if they cut a salary in half? You said you'd work here for another eight. That's right.

And it's just to keep Romo. Yeah, it's, cause Romo's so good. Are these another raise? You know, we're just doing to you what we did to your partner Phil Sims and you really made no raise no stink about that at all. Yeah. Guess you guys are good friends. Jake wants to do indoor paintball and Jake also wants to be a part of a crossover event. So we'll work on those. Yeah, maybe we were on Saturday. We announced Cirque is coming back with not many details, but yeah,

paintball thing. There's a lot of movement. I feel like- Don't you think being on Noviello's show, is that a crossover event or no? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, that works. Well, good for you. You felt it in the electric.

Time capsule. Only one from this month, and it comes to us from April 22nd. Jake wants to compare who is more famous in 10 years, him or Rashii Rice? Just something I'm keeping up with. I don't think that's a horrible one for at least intrigue, right?

Because things are not looking up for him right now. No. And I'm not saying they're looking up for me, but they're more up than they were six months ago. They're also just kind of like, you'll probably still be here. Probably at about this. Yeah.

Now, people are gonna remember the name, like, oh yeah, wasn't that such and such, but I don't think he's gonna be like, you know, he's not going to the hall of fame. No. He's gonna be out of the league in five years probably. I would say that's about the... But it's a good one.

But just having been in the league, does that keep him elevated above you for the rest of his life? Yeah, and it might, but I got a big decade planned. This could be the decade of Jake. And by the way, he went to the same high school that I did. Yes. This is the impetus of this.

So I agree with you. You are killing it. However, we did not get a unique Kim spin in the month of April. Wow. Have we seen the end of the Earth? Maybe. You're up to 538, zero new in April.

Maybe hit me with a quiz in the next month or so and see where I am. Do you want to remind people there's kimspin.com if you'd like to take a random spin on the Kimspin wheel. Let's see, anchored phrases. This kind of hit me hard because I've been saying it wrong the whole time. It's reek havoc.

Yep. It still doesn't sound right. You thought it was wreck? I thought it was wreck havoc. That means you're well read. It is one of those words that doesn't, it should not be the way that it is. I heard the Musers actually kind of making fun of this

the other day, like Gordon was doing his bit, and it was like, they were talking about grammar. And it was like, oh, care about grammar, old man, she's an old man, think like you care about, and doing the bit of like, oh, you care about grammar, old man? She's an old man, think like you care about... And doing the bit of like, oh, every young person doesn't care about anything older and dis... Am I a skateboard man if I sit here and say today that why do we need it?

Why do we need what? Why do we need grammar? Everyone knows what you're talking about. Like when you trip up over me and I and you, are we post grammar? You think we're heading that way? Well, is it for... I'm trying to decide what what is it for? Like why do you need to spell correctly? I mean the general idea is so that everyone can communicate because for a long time they wouldn't get the gist.

They needed to know pretty clearly I would imagine. So for a while though we've... Yeah. I mean I think with text talk and you know your daughter's inability to use a word with more than two syllables. You just want to change it all social norms. I'm asking questions. You're the Trump of talking, right? Like it's just

like whatever I just I'm gonna do it this way and that's it. Well I think if things get done it's fine, right? I don't know. I feel like spell check has got to be hurting the ability of kids to spell. Don't you think? Well it's hurting mine. Okay. And predictive text. I shouldn't be still doing I before E except after C when I'm writing for a professional magazine, but I do. Profile our breakdown of Jaden Blue

coming this week. Damn fights with his wife. Yes. Only one. And it was, she did not run the dishwasher one time while he was out of town that's your job dude how many times I walked in it two in the morning after a stars trip the sink is full of dishes and the dishwasher's full but not run. Huh? You're a dish guy.

I'm, that's what you do. I see your point. Yeah, you're making me, you know, jerk off. That's supposed to be what you do. So when would you like to fulfill any of your obligations? I don't know, I'm standing here with my own food, I'm standing here with my own unattended two cock, and I'm standing here with all these dishes. So let's pick one.

Yeah. And one. She rode that riding lawnmower when I was gone though. Yeah, yard does look good. She made sure that. Yeah, for some reason the HVAC company was there every day. Like all four of them. Dan falls in love.

I've got down. Ooh. So update on that. Okay. Can I just throw one in in the middle of it here? Absolutely. I love these. Because it's not like... this is apropos of nothing I guess you would say. But I feel like I'm in love with female TV producers. Oh so you can just call dibs on her? Behind the scenes TV girls, I've just noticed there's a lot there.

Well. Like you're not the ditzy on air person, you know, you got here. That's all this is. You're working hard, you're grinding, you're, it's kind of like, you know how you're always attracted to the Hooters manager? Now in that game, they used to be on the floor,

but they were so smart, they could be the manager. Now you're like, oh my gosh. It's like a madam. This is unbelievable. Or the escort's manager. She was a great escort, now she manages. Also known as a madam. What he just said.

Okay. I don't want to hear it from you today either. I've been listening to everything you said and you can't prove that I haven't. Without using him. And he's not gonna help you. Yeah, the madam is what you want. There are other versions of escort bosses

but you're not as attracted to them. But it's not quite the same analogy but I'm just saying, I'm not here for the, the floor model or what you think is the best model. Yeah. I'm actually thinking this one is a lot better, and yeah, I'm in love. But I don't even know if we're talking about the same person,

because I think it was when I was parking I fell in love today. But go ahead. I also have written down here. She's also American, white American, not. Indian. Yeah, not. Just stop, go ahead.

Kate Baldwin. Ooh, Kate Baldwin. I'm recently, newly in love with her. Well, I mean. She's on camera. I'm gonna be honest. I had, do you guys remember, was it Steve Phillips, the Mets guy? I've heard of him, yeah. Yeah, was it Steve Phillips, the Mets guy? I've heard of him, yeah.

Yeah, he was the GM of the Mets, and then he was on Baseball Tonight. He was on Sunday Night Baseball. I think it was him and Harold, because Harold was dealing with his own shit. But Steve Phillips got obsessed with a production assistant. She was a big girl, too.

She was a younger, sturdy-looking mid-20s lady, and he completely lost his mind over this woman, and ruined his whole life. And I think she was driving her car into his yard and stuff. Yeah, it was hot. I always respected him though, because he was the on-air guy, and it's like, nah, he's not creeping on like the on-air guy, and it's like, nah, he's not creeping on like, you know, the next on-air lady.

Well isn't that a power dynamic thing then? It's probably not okay. But I just respected that it was like, he did not. Like why did I get this power if not to use the dynamic? What are we doing here? Again. Well I'm now, I'm supposed to respect you, like. That's the ultimate white privilege Trump card

you play too, right? When you're like, well, I mean, what am I? I'm not gonna make you waste it. Yeah, not my fault. It's just society Yeah, okay, so I'm supposed to tell the judge no actually I'll do three times that much time. It's ridiculous. You wouldn't either Jake has a buddy who doesn't drink anymore but wants to skydive for his 40th birthday Jake has a buddy who had miniature horses. Jake had a buddy who bitched about being a Little League umpire. And we'll end with this. General notes from the show.

This was left over from March, but I feel like it needs to be brought back up. Because if you'll remember when we did the remote out in Aledo, we talked to a guy in closing remarks who was on Married at First Sight. There are so many people we've talked to that I'm like, we gotta get him on again. Right. And that's one of the main ones. We gotta get this guy on.

Yeah, he's on the list. Okay. Hey Clayton, I put a photo in there, I'll text you. Okay. No, whatever, do whatever you were. April 1st, Jake had to pick Dan up from his walk in the neighborhood because Dan encountered a wild horse.

Oh, that's right, I was late getting back. Which got me thinking about another list, Dan's other jobs. Yeah. Do you think Dan could break horses? No. No. No.

Not a chance. Hey, come on. I don't really know what goes into it, but I know that there's not a lot of, well, kind of whatever you think. So is this me now or me ever? I guess kind of now. Because me now, I would say anything outside

I don't think I can do. I can't have a job that's outside-based. Yeah, I mean, I shouldn't be asking myself. I think I could, but I couldn't. Like I need to be inside. Like I can't be outside. But the horse breaker guy's not out there all day. I mean, he is what he's doing.

It's not like, I just don't imagine that's a 12 hour day every day. His main job though is being outside. That's true. Can you stop bucking, please? Just come on, let me put this out. Like if you said we had to do our hour day every day. His main job though is being outside. That's true. Can you stop bucking please? Just come on. Let me put this out. Like if you said we had to do our show outside every day

and it was only three hours a day, I'd say no. Yeah. That's my main job can't be outside. I love hiding behind that. What, me? So when somebody's wanting us to- Hey, we'd have you on the patio by the pool. Nah, I don't think Dan's gonna like that.

But internally like, no, I don't wanna be out there. And I've told you, blame pool. No, I don't think Dan's gonna like that but internally like no I don't want to be out there and I've told you blame me. Yeah, I've used it The same day Jake got double-birded by his neighbor Yeah, do you ever guys ever know interact after that at all I Mean, I've seen her a couple times and I feel like are you in love? No, okay I thought maybe no, she's on brewing there. Okay I thought maybe. No she runs... She runs a lot. Well you're out there exercising, she's that's early. Not into runners man. Again. You and the wife been in an argument? Again if you find me...

If you're trying to show me the lady who runs 10 miles a day and gives me the double bird holding a water bottle thing because she thought I was too close to the curb when she was running? No, I'm not interested. Again, she looks, she's a very fit lady. She looks like she runs 10 miles a day, but I'm looking for somebody who can go four for five in the Big 12 tournament with like a 1,200 ops,

not somebody who can run 10 miles. I need a base. I saw something online this weekend that was insinuating that if you're in a runners club, you're a swinger. That's like a rumored thing. Really? But that goes for like CrossFit too.

Exercise groups are notoriously horny. Think about it. Really? It's a bunch of people who are trying to look better, getting together to look better. So my exercising alone thing? I mean, you remember like, Marjorie Taylor Greene, I'm pretty sure, got dicked down at her CrossFit gym

and lost her husband over it. Those people be boning, man. Yeah. Big time. April 3rd, Dan waved to a Waymo. Yeah. Yeah. Like thanking your AI chatbot?

Because it let me cross the street. And then the next day, Dan may have stopped a gas station robbery by sauntering around. I replay that scene in my head. Now, I was high. I'm not going to lie to you. We were out my head now. I was high. I'm not gonna lie to you We were out with the fellas I was a little baked but there were got it was a guy in a ski mask walking into a

Gas station we were walking into so maybe I was being paranoid But the guy was shifty had a mask on and I'm pretty sure he was about to stick the place up but Dan also in his in his early birds, just kinda slowly walked right into the middle of the caper, and me and the guy from the store just kinda watched the guy walk out. He turned around and walked out. I told my wife at least your perspective of it,

because mine was different, you know? It was just, I don't know, I just walked in the store, and Jake was looking real weird. And then she just nodded and goes, yeah, you don't pay attention to anything. You never know what's going on. And she's like, you could ask the girls, ask your daughters, whatever. This is the thing we talk about. I'm like, oh.

And you know, I'm sure my family does it to me, whatever. But I do experience that sometimes with you, and that's fine. I'm pretty sure it's why I'm alive to tell this tale today April 17th Ted Emmerich Reports that Jim Nance orders his toast twice burnt and calls it Nance style that you should be fired for that And he has a card right? Yeah, and he had a laminated card with a picture. A card that he'll hand to the waitress that says. Make it like this.

Yeah. Here's a visual aid. What a dork. I'm kind of on board with that. I'm not super shocked by that. It's a simple way to get it right. He's just trying to get it right. Yes, he's asked a hundred times.

They always get it wrong. But you're not calling it Dan style. I don't think I would call it Dan style. Big Mac style. I'll take toast. Dan style. You know he says it like that too. Of course he does.

April 21st, we put out the call for wild girlfriend dad stories. I got a couple. OK, I want to hear some of those. All right. Let's see. Jake thinks there should be an app. Apparently he doesn't want to hear now. No, I don't want to waste it here. Jake thinks there should be an app. Apparently he doesn't want to hear now. No, I don't want to waste it here.

Jake thinks there should be an app that syncs your windshield wipers to the song you're listening to. Jake thinks he can take down a cow. April 25th we come up with the Lotus Line, which is how long is your jail sentence, how long would it have to be before you'd kill yourself? Dude, I'm telling you, after I talked to the guy who did 18 months, two years on Saturday, he's the one who told us about conjugal visits.

I met him on Saturday, he's thriving, got a good job. Yeah. He never got beat up. No. Never, I mean, if he had sex, that means it was consensual. And if you missed Saturday's show, he was like, you have a job, you work that from eight to noon, they pay you 12 cents an hour.

He's like, I cleaned a chapel for four hours a day. He's like, rec time was just the afternoon, so I would play basketball or lift weights or slow pitch softball, he was telling Blake. He's like, and then you just hang out. It's like it's. So it's like rehab. And so I said to him, he's like, and then you just hang out. It's like it's. So it's like rehab. So I said to him, I was like, okay, am I crazy for thinking that the scene I was in

is not that different? Like you're safe but you can't do what you want. And he's like, it's the same. But it wasn't maximum security prison. No, no, no. It was, I think he got arrested for alcohol, providing alcohol to minors in his early 20s, and he did 18 months.

We had a sit-in that tried to go blow for blow against Jake in Kemp Spins. Jake very easily took him down. He's still the king. It looks easy, kids. Yep. Yep. April 28th, kids. Yep. Yep. April 28th, Jake didn't know your key fob

has an actual key in it. We're moving on. It's not that I... What's the name of it? What'd you say? What's it called? A key fob. A key fob.

What does it have in it? A key. Oh. Oh. And there's your A key. It's right in there? You guys are the worst. That is the monthly business review.

We also have the monthly Blake review. Is this you, Scott Iving? Yeah. There's a picture of Jake. I put one photo in there for you guys to see how high up the top was. Is that guy's cramming it right in his behind. He's just railing you.

He is. That's what it kind of looks like. Yeah. Can we Photoshop that into a different? In your sort of into it? Um. I'm like, oh this feels different So just a couple like it's a really long email But you guys told me to edit and Alec seems cool with that

But he sends us this I mean he keeps extensive notes on Blake dude waste of time Extensive notes. He noted that on the 21st of April Blake was late to work and this burden weighs heavy on him. Yeah. That was a tough day. No, I got through it. Blake's been showing signs of 2023 Jake or 2020 whatever. I'm just on watch. So, but you still have the phone number and everything in that place, right?

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Blake did not announce his wife was pregnant on the 24th. We're having a kid. I love that bit. Jake, I think, is still a little bothered by it. But the fact that you just never told anybody, and your calculation is correct. My wife will tell so many people that it'll trickle out to my friends eventually.

Make out to y'all. Yeah. I'm not commenting. See? Told him it in. He's still mad. I, yeah, no, I don't know, it's crazy for me to think that this, you know, you've got this entire world of friends and you and just two of your friends leave.

You make this big story about it and you're like, well these are my two best friends, I'm gonna go do this with them. And he's got a son and he's bringing him to my house, we're talking. Oh yeah, I'm having another kid in three months. It's gonna drastically affect the show. Hope you can figure that out on social media.

The only one part that's a bother is that it is going to drastically affect the show. It's like right in the middle of where we would be going to Cowboys Training Camp. When would I have known if I didn't, if my wife didn't have an incident? Would he have told us if we were like scheduling training camp? When we've been talking about it. They don't have dates for training camp yet. We don't know.

But when does she do? Yeah, right in the beginning of August. And when do we go to training camp? Like, you know, it's the beginning. If anything, you know, maybe they have the hall of fame. Anyway, Blake run the ball guy this month. This is well, and just a couple quickies. Blake doesn't like Austin. Yeah, a little weird.

Little weird. That's the best. My dad hated Austin growing up. He's like, I don't know what's going down there. We're fucking hippies. Your aunt's moving down there. I heard that makes sense. Yeah, she'll fit in there. It was all, yeah, the aunt that's moving. ants moving down there. I heard that makes sense. Yeah, she'll fit in there

It was all yeah, the ant that's moving. That makes sense. Hippie, that makes sense. She'll be back She'll be back as a big player. Yeah, and Blake is anti-water Because he almost drowned So is this yeah people pee in lakes and stuff. You don't be in that it's gross. So you won't go in a lake? No People pee in lakes and stuff. You don't wanna be in that. It's gross. So you won't go in a lake? No.

Y'all have fun. Now listen, he's not, it's weird for someone from Texas, but as someone who is around people from not Texas at a lake over the weekend, we need to be clear that these are not lakes that we're getting in. These are, these are. Are they constant level lakes?

These are reservoirs dug by men. Because they were asking me about it. They were like, are there snakes? I'm like, oh yeah, there's a lot of snakes. You just can't see them because the water's brown because this is a mud hole, not a lake, like where you might be from elsewhere. Yeah, yeah, go jump off your boat.

Yeah, have a great time. Yeah. So it's not crazy on Blake's part. It's just, It's just Blake. Who will pick Lane and bless my star? Mr. Jones is in VR. People listen near and far to Blake Jones' in VR.

One thing. Business. Relief. You know, that reminds me about one day doors and closets. I was thinking the same thing. When you talk about lakes, that makes me think one day doors and closets. I was thinking the same thing. When you talk about lakes, that makes me think of the doors in my house. And I got an email from Ryan last week that said, listener number 190 here, I had one day doors come out thanks to the dumb zone telling us about them. In between sports and mostly comedy segments of my favorite podcast.

Anyways, Supes Positive Review. I've been led to believe it would take one day to install seven doors in my house, but it was actually only a couple of hours, 22 hours less than expected. They are great. That is from Ryan. And One Day Doors and Closets, that's their bit.

They'll come out to your house and replace all of the interior doors in one day. It'd be great. It's a genius bid, because you think about like, oh, I gotta remodel my house, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that, I wanna give it a little life and pop. Maybe it's just the doors. Maybe it's just the doors.

Go finish your one day texas.com slash promo 30 get those doors changed out man. What are you doing with those doors? Idiot family hadn't respected you in years. Those hollow doors. Here's Jake. They don't look like new art. With the dumb zone news. Well, there's a number of different directions we could go here today. Let's start with election news.

Our friend Harper Weaver, who ran for school board in Plano, did not win. He didn't ride the wave of Of Doge? The Jake interview. Oh no. That boy this will... No. This isn't fair. You guys should give equal time. He's got all this publicity. Yeah right did somebody say that? No. Okay they might have. No Harper did not win, our good friend Harper. But I talked to him Sunday morning, and I was like, man, I'm proud of you.

This is cool. He found something he's into. He doesn't really need to work right now. He was running against an incumbent. First time. So he was like, man, it's a learning experience. I'm going to figure this out over the next couple years and try again.

You know what's weird though? Like, I saw Philip Kingston tweet this out. I think it was Wiley actually. What was it? God, it sounded like Michael Bobaro, I'm sorry. What? Who's Michael Bobaro? That drives me nuts. Yeah, you talk and I'm gonna. What? Who's Michael Bavaro? That drives me nuts.

You talk and I'm gonna let you know that I'm listening. Talk. Well, it was about Wiley and he was looking at the different things that they were voting on, like Proposition B and Proposition A, things like that. You just do that a lot. Anyway. He's even addressed it before which I find incredibly annoying. He's like people don't like me doing that. I'm letting shut up. These council members were voted on and chosen by 27 people went to

vote and so like it looks impressive like oh Todd Pickens won 51 percent to somebody's a 48 point he had 14 votes and the opponent had 13 tight race but like for example you could have changed the whole you because you didn't vote there's absolutely no way. Your household, if they voted, could have swung every election on this school board. Or whatever board thing. God, that's awesome. For a school board for us, for example... It was city council, I think.

The contested spot for school board in our city got 13,000 votes. Or a little... about 12. for school board in our city got 13,000 votes. Or a little, about 12. And the lady that I was hoping would lose narrowly did. The release these doves lady lost 51 to 49. I don't actually know that much, this isn't great, fine, I know not everybody cares about this, but the GCISD thing was kind of interesting just from a larger, it's kind of what's happened

in Keller and Colleyville. Other schools have seen like this patriot mobile thing, right, these extremely conservative candidates, they primary people or they get other conservatives voted out of city councils and school boards. They did very poorly over the weekend. Essentially, it looks like all of their candidates are getting beat.

And the guy that beat her in Grapevine, I wanted to actually meet this guy, I didn't get a chance to, but I read his, I read his campaign website. It's kind of funny, because when I tweeted about her losing over the weekend, people were like, certainly you've ushered in your communist, liberal, socialist utopia. I was like, you go to this guy's website,

he's a fourth generation Texan from Amarillo, his wife's a 15 year teacher in Grapevine, he's active at White's Chapel Methodist Church, he went to Baylor, like this guy's the most boilerplate conservative, like he's just a professional though, like I look at this guy and I'm like okay, this guy, he was PTA president, he's, no I'm not getting AOC of grapevine over here,

but I don't care, I just want somebody who takes it seriously and doesn't think it's a bit. And you know, like a glamour shot. That's what made me happy there. So what is, I was reading something about like, Australia had some votes, voting. Yeah. And they didn't go for the hardcore.

Conservative. Yeah. They were saying, but then this article was saying, well, they have compulsory voting. Does it in Australia? What does that mean? It means you have to. So like everybody, and he's like, that's part of the reason why. Like if we made everybody vote, that the elections would be different. Well, in general, and this may be changing, but in general, there is generally, very redundant,

been a thought that the more access to the ballot that in this country, left-leaning candidates would win more, because historically, the Democratic Party has had minorities on lock. And poor people on lock, for the most part, and those people don't vote as much as rich and old people. Because they don't have, I mean, I guess they view it as they have less stakes in the game.

I don't know, there's a million reasons why. But yeah, the thought has always been that the more people that vote, that it would impact more people. Whereas right now, the voting block is heavily overrepresented by the people who have. So older and wealthier, you're like, I wanna protect what I have, so I need to vote

for these policies that will probably not help the poor people so much. You interact a lot with Medicaid at that age, you know, so like drug prices are super important to you. Yeah. Things related to your pension. Yeah. So those people vote a lot. Okay. I guess I'd forgotten Australia has compulsory, but there's downsides to that too, right? Well, yeah, because I always used to say, like, Downsides to that too, right? Well, yeah, cuz I always used to say like I didn't want to vote because I don't know anything

Yeah, like I want to somehow be able to leave it to people who actually know things about issues But that's not the way democracy It's just not the way democracy. It's just not the way also These parties are able to win elections. They don't win elections based on people being very knowledgeable. No. They win them based on firing people up about stuff. Yeah, maybe we'll do this another day then because the lady who lost in grapevine, Tammy Nakamura, her episode of Wipeslaw... Naka... Look, Wired Will sent me the Na knocka knocka not gonna work here anymore at 5 a.m. on Sunday. That's actually how I found out

about the election results. That's awesome. I want to play some of, I told you there's a video of her on Wiveswap and I talked to a bunch of people who like knew her from back then. Just imagine if one of your buddy's moms was on Wiveswap. Like in the early 2000s. It'd be so awesome. And it's so funny, we'll play it later this week because she goes to a black family, a black lady comes to her house in Southlake.

It's amazing, but it's gonna take us a little bit of time. Speaking of politics, because we just can't stop, a Texas bill known as the Furries Act would ban non-human behaviors in public schools. The author of that bill is Stan Gerdes, Representative Stan Gerdes. So he was in a committee meeting last week where he's trying to get this bill passed and he was unable

to provide any actual examples of this happening. Mm-hmm. Yeah, so he was pressed on that. He called, let's see, I was informed that this was happening in districts across the state, that they do not have tools to prohibit these types of distractions. However, during a follow-up school board meeting, the district provided a release debunking those claims. And then when asked last week directly about students using litter boxes at schools,

he said he could not provide an example of a case where it had been confirmed. He said, what really is though is we just want to help them have the tools to get some of the distractions out of the classroom so we can get back to teaching time and stop the distractions. Galaxy Brain Move. Is that why we're giving out so much homework? The galaxy brain move is to create a distraction and then you have a news story where you're like I'm just trying to get rid of these distractions so the kids can get back to learning. It's like the eating dogs eating the cat spit. Yeah. Right? It's like well it may not have been factually true but yeah we do want to focus on the fact that blah blah blah. A Democratic party representative

from you guessed it, established the run guy Austin, said Texas librarians are not grooming kids, Texas teachers are not indoctrinating kids, and Texas schools are not providing litter boxes. I think the most disappointing part about all this is I think you all know that. Like it's Texas bro! That's the thing. That's what's kind of funny. It is funny dude. To see the... Like okay if it were Vermont... The hardcore conservative calling other conservatives the RINOs and... Oh yeah. Like it's like we've got this game so much in hand now we're arguing about should we win it at home or win it on the road like yeah like we know we're gonna win no matter what man I got a taste of that yesterday at the

end of the game I forgot about doing this shit to people because we do it sometimes and in my 20s I would have loved it I don't love it now but by the end of the game yesterday, they were like, they clearly had two or three trick plays they hadn't practiced, and they were like, why not now? Yeah. I hate that feeling. And you can eat.

I'm like, look, and just do it, dude. But with this act, this bill that was put forward by the Republican representative, I almost think he should be able to pass this with no evidence at all, just because he came up with the Forbidding Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education Furries Act. Like, Jesus Christ, dude, that's a home run.

You came up with a furry acronym and it makes sense? Like, it doesn't even feel like a stretch. That is pretty good. I feel like he should be good on that alone. Let's see here. Oh, sad story. We'll see if Poppy's available. The Midlothian Fire Department posted on Facebook

over the weekend, Blake, that it's dog, Riggs, escape from station one. Here I'm doing it again. It's very sad right now. We feel like we've lost a member of our family. He just got out? Yeah. Yeah. And this is a news story?

A fire department's dog got out. That's the news story. They never found it back? No. Never got it back? No. Just doing a bunch of mid segment hat changes? What are we doing?

I'm going to read a Tito spot in a little bit. I didn't want to wear the Lone Star beer hat while I was wearing it. But you want to point out everything I do, and then we have to talk about it overtly he was looking at you too but I am actually glad that we're on video today because we had some big news some big news I misspoke there Clayton but the video that I put it like this what don't I'm putting how do you know what he's gonna play it's Herbstreet's new stupid dog um oh he Freudian yes when he said Ben news okay and it's what

Ben's half brother or something yeah dude great are you surprised are you guys surprised he didn't get Ben cloned? Because Barbara Streisand just cloned her one dog she loved and she's had like eight of the same dog. What happened to Peter? Yeah, I don't know. Ooh, already out of favor, huh? Guess so.

Well, Peter's here. I put the video in Clayton, but you don't have to. The tweet says, meet our newest member to the crew. This is Bo, born January 19, 2025. We've had him for a few days now. He's doing awesome. Looks like he's going to be a monster. Same dad as Peter, so obviously half brothers.

Peter and Bo are wrestling all day. Let's see a new mascot of your favorite sport there Blake. Do you have anything to add? You know just every kid's dream to like walk the field at Daryl K Royal or go to the National Championship game if you're a huge college football fan. Now this stupid mutt will just get to get in every press box, he'll be on every ESPN show, he'll fly first class to every game and you're gonna be sick of him. Yeah he's gonna be shoved down your throat. How great would it be if Bevo stepped on him? I think you mean beefy? Beefy. would it be if Bevo stepped on him? I think you mean beefy?

Beefy. Let's see here. We'll do one more. Grand Saline, Blake? Man, there was a time. Grand Saline and Salino might have been the first. I can give you Bobcats. Bobcats is easy.

Might have been the first game I went to that Bobcats. Bobcats is easy. Might have been the first game I went to that was like not a team in my area. Where was it? Like that I traveled. It was... You know what? I didn't travel that far. It was at...

It was in Fort Worth. Because if you thought getting to Frisco was another planet, up to Salina must have been... It was. It was like either a playoff game or a neutral side game because it was around the holidays. And I believe either Salina or Grand Saline ended up on that MTV show. There was like a reality show about being a high school football player in Texas.

You didn't watch that at all? True life, I'm a high school football player. Yeah, because they did it in Alabama, I want to say too, with like John Parker Wilson was the quarterback. Anyways, we had a murder and then a failure to appear for a murder down in Van Zandt County in Grand Saline. So Trevor McEwen did not show up for court today

on a murder charge out of Kauffman County. He removed his ankle monitor. He is on the run. As of like this morning, you just got a guy, wanted for a 2023 murder, he was supposed to appear in court this morning, waits till the morning of, which I guess you have to. You don't want to give him a head start,

but like at 9 a.m. you have a court appointment for a murder. You cut the monitor off, don't show up, and now you're just on the go. So that guy right now is about six hours into running from a murder case. So OK, let's plan this out. It's a murder case. So if convicted, you're going to go to hard, hard prison.

So now you're in a thing of, all right. Yeah. I kill myself, or I go through the trial take a shot whatever what's his name McEwen Kevin okay sounds like a name that could get Trevor McEwen sounds like a name that might get off mm-hmm but you know you're talking to your lawyers and they're kind of giving you the look I I don't know. Looks like they got you. We're just going to plead for a certain time.

Now you're thinking, okay, let's plan now. You got to get everything in a row because once you do cut that, they know right away. Yeah. Right? So you have to be able to bolt immediately. Like so where do you go? You know, what? It's very interesting. Yeah. You've had a wild kind of planet. Yeah. This isn't just a on the run right now, right? Escape from prison, I just don't know. Like, a year and a half at

least to think about this. Yeah. 2023. You know, you're getting cash, you're getting a new burner phone so you can still get online and stuff. While he does have the name and complexion that you might think could help him beat this charge, a quick read on his intelligence might lead you to believe otherwise. So this happened in 2023. He shot a 35 year old man.

Well, he's alleged to have shot a 35 year old man who is his neighbor that he was beefing with. So that happened in May of 2023. This guy is arrested, charged, he's awaiting trial. While he's awaiting trial out on bond, back in September of 2024, he posted photos of the guy he killed and that guy's uncle to his Instagram account and threatened to shoot the uncle. Like put a photo of the deceased and the uncle out there.

And I don't know what the caption was, but it sounds like it was like, you're next. He was re-arrested for that. That's a- turns out that's a violation of bond. In a murder case, bragging about the murder and your next victim. So, um... CBS says that it all came from the fact that this guy like hates Mexicans. And his neighbor was Mexican. And that they just had beef.

But this guy, you know, I'm excited to follow up on this story tomorrow. Just reading the tea leaves, I don't give him like a DB Cooper-like chance. You know, but maybe he's listening right now. Maybe he fired up the... Maybe he's doing those things to throw you off, to throw off the cops.

Like, oh, this will be an easy one. Not even worried about it. I like that. Kind of a Kaiser So-Say thing, right? Yeah. At the end. We'll check back on Trevor in tomorrow's news. That feels like you're closing things up.

Yeah. The dumb zone news. Let's see what's next here. Grand Saline Indians. And subscribe. Of course. Alright, let's see what's next here. Grand Saline Indians. Of course. Doing a few viewer mail birthdays first and we'll make this brought to us by Franco and Frankel. Franco.

I might have thrown you off. You thought, oh, this guy's about to do a Tito spot. Nope, I'm just gonna mention that Franco and Frankel are personal injury lawyers. They are with, for you, a lot of times if you get in an accident, you call Franco and Franco, 214-333-3333 or 817, that number works with all threes as well.

Yeah, you don't have to ask for the manager. The manager will answer the phone. Or at least they'll get you to him right away. So, Frankel and Frankel, if indeed you're in a battle

with insurance companies or you've had a personal injury. If another attorney calls you, another, or an insurance company, somebody, call the Frankles and either Mark or Scott Frankl or Gene Burkett, they will go to that other attorney's office, they'll hang up the phone. While the guys talk, they hang up the phone and say, let me handle this. Thank you, Frankl.

So 20 years ago, they weren't millennial, because that, whatever, they were really, they were young 20s, but they're just doing all the, we gotta do the t-shirt stuff.

And then they were in a brainstorming meeting and they came up with an idea. But they were also just naive and they weren't wise to the world and they were they were just friendly. They just saw people as people. And so they didn't think of what they were doing here and they set up a thing and they're like well we're gonna call some of the sections different names at this NBA game.

This is not a position I ever got myself in fully, but I always feel bad for people who, like, get hammered and kill themselves. It's one thing if you kill yourself and you're like, because you're thinking, I can't get out of this, but doing it while you're drunk, which I think happens a lot, is horribly sad to me. Cause it's like, come on, bro.

Cause you're not making strong decisions in that. You know all the other times you did something drunk and regretted it and could fix it after, why don't we look at all of those and be like, if we're going to do it, let's at least do it sober.
