I feel like CBS, they're real worried about your kids. Real worried about your kids. So in that vein, this is a two pack here from CBS

on Valentine's Day. And the first part, tell me if you care. One North Texas school district accused of violating... Okay. It's possible. The Voting Rights Act. Don't care. Don't even know what it is.

Read about it in a book. But you're gonna have to do a little work here, because you said this was about my kids, but now you're telling me it's about the Voting Rights Act, and that sounds like politics. Why the lawsuit claims race is a factor, plus disturbing new details into alleged improper conduct with students, Voting Rights Act, and that sounds like politics. Why the lawsuit claims race is a factor, plus disturbing new details into alleged improper conduct

with students, it's all next. That I can see a little more. Now you got me. Yeah, they have a weird fate, too. Yeah, now I'm in. Here's Channel 4 with a kid one. Tonight on Fox 4 News at 9, teachers at a North Texas middle school suspended the district investigating

how students were able to give each other tattoos under their watch. Plus three people charged in a Fort Worth murder plot how police say the suspect's plan fell apart at night. That's great. That's a fantastic. Fox. All right, rate your level of care on this one from CBS. Cases of measles surging in West Texas. Health experts worry there's even more they have not seen yet. Also a hospital police officer involved

in a shooting at Fort Worth. What we're learning about that at 10. I rated that one as not concerned at all because measles are fake and the hospital spin zone here for you, that's the best place to get shot. I'm already at the hospital Ah, so that's not really that interesting of a story to me So let's go to the next night and see if CBS was able to get themselves on the board coming up a health scare For a young North Texas mother. All right. Well, I could tell you right now

We're already years are perked up coming up a health scare for a young North Texas mother her story and how she hopes others can learn from it and an animal neglect raid leads to a child sex abuse arrest I'm in I'm sorry what I was already pretty interested in the dead wife dead mom But holy shit you screwed me into the ground with that curveball an animal raid that ends up being about pedophiles Unsurprisingly, they're the same people tonight Oh, here's a kid thing I didn't even realize I had this one oh I'm sorry. I don't have it ready Here we go.

Tonight on Fox four news at nine three educators at an Arlington charter school arrested after investigators uncovered two separate cases of child abuse. The district's chief goes one on one. Plus we hear from the daughter of a Dallas pilot killed in an Arizona crash. Why she believes her father saved lives on Fox 4 News. OK, yeah. Abuse, I'm into that. If we ever have Steve Eager on, which I would love to,

I bet those are really fun to do. Those sort of teases? Yeah. Heather gets it going, and she's got some energy. Then you play off of it, and you try to hit that post. It's just LeBron and Wade in that heat photo. Yeah, hitting that post. Hitting the post is fun, man.

I bet it's so much fun. Here's one with the I team from CBS that focuses on kids with a little appetizer of measles. Tonight at 10, the worry over measles now spreading to central Texas. Now we go to a pre-package. Here it is right by the front door. Bitcoin, Dogecoin. This guy is selling my kid, you know, THC product.

What are you taking me to jail for my kid, you know THC product You've sold to some underage kids read our kids are worth it our kids are worth fighting for They're worth it. That's the I team. So Basically, it's just funny cuz hey listen your kid, you know, they're buying Bitcoin They're super into THC. They might as well put something like he's not just listening to Rogan, but some of the weirder stuff too. THC and Bitcoin. But yeah, that's a fun little pre-packaged bit there. It's just shots of the Bitcoin ATM.

So I've got, you like that NBC uses sound bites? Or you don't like it? I don't think I like it. Or you like when Steve Eager and Heather Hayes, whatever, they go back and forth? Oh, I like that little pick and roll combo. Yeah. So what if NBC ups the ante on that?

What's better than using two voices? Four, three? I think clearly, keep thinking about it while I find this audio. Five. Yeah, let's go here. Next at 10, the White House is calling for millions of deportations,

but does ICE have the manpower? What are the limitations? Well, there are a number of them. Tonight, NBC5 Investigates sits down with a former director and why she says it is mission impossible. Plus wind chills in the teens. I'll tell you how long they'll last.

And then could your house survive a fire? It's a big wake up call. NBC5 Responds reveals the DFW's fire risks and how to protect your home next at 10. Jesus Christ, I've already seen the movie. Too long. You put all the funny parts in the trailer. Three voices.

Probably didn't need weather in that. Technically four because there was an unnecessary actuality from the director of. Five, because there was two actualities. There was an actuality in that first one. They were promoting NBC Investigates and the other bit. Like that was the most power packed promo I've ever heard. a part of hitting the post is you can't change your cadence like you can't get a and coming up more Oh, did she have to do that?

Yeah, yes, you started right my wrist and how to protect your home next at 10 Thank you. It was before that but she had a speed read there in the middle just a but my house is gonna burn down though Well, I don't know if I can survive a fire, I gotta tune in. ICE a big player in the month of February, be it customs and immigration or the weather, but here's more on the. With fears of deportation, hospitals are now an area

of concern for migrant parents. Plus a North Texas school district parts ways with a substitute teacher accused of urging ICE agents to come to campus next to 10. Now me myself as a good progressive, this is where everybody can get mad at us, I actually am concerned, you know. To take your kid to the doctor and be like, my kid's at the ER, I might have to get deported. I could see that. But let me tell you who this double tease here is for and only for migrants of which I am NOT one of

It's a narrow cast there, but no, I understand, you know people and blah blah blah, but Let's see. I got one that's focused on One of the things that I love in this world. But they're saying they're not that great. Next at 10, struck on his scooter, a Fort Worth teen fighting for his life, calls for action as neighbors point fingers at this roundabout.

Plus we've had. That's it. Yeah. The roundabout. It's not the scooter. We're pointing. A Fort Worth teen fighting for his life, calls for action as neighbors point fingers at this roundabout. It's not the scooter. We're pointing. A Fort Worth teen fighting for his life calls for action as neighbors point fingers at this roundabout.

Now, so was it just the area or is it the roundabout? Like, because I love the roundabout. Me too. It's, it's, isn't it a pleasure? Yes. We got a lot of them over here. I know. And when you get, when you got a four way stop, you're like, what are we doing here?

Listen. You get a nice roundabout though? It's like with most things. You're rolling. I know. And when you get, when you got a four way stop, you're like, what are we doing here? Listen. You get a nice roundabout though? It's like with most things. You're rolling. I like the roundabout, but for us to implement it in society, the roundabout proponents have to accept its downsides, which appears to be dense.

Getting shot. Yeah. Or run over on a scooter or something. Yeah. I thought people lost the ability to park during COVID. I thought in 21 and 22 we've never parked worse because people just simply forgot. We've also forgotten the rules of the four way stop.

Because there's just no rhythm or routine or flow anymore. Mark this for his established. This is free. This is subscriber only content it's it's simply just take your turn you know fucking right away such an old man these go then you go then these go and then you go if you turn you gotta go but just go go go let's see if anybody cares about this one. I left the first part in here because it reminded me of when Matthew Delavadova was ballin' and we had a clip where it said a very June-looking Delavadova.

But it sounded like Jew. So I left this in here, but now we're gonna go to the I-Team with CBS. They're investigating a crime ring. Forget that June-like day today, we're back to winter. The first time I heard it, I definitely heard you. Forget that June like day today, we're back to winter, the forecast tonight. This is a Texas license plate.

How about this? A new law eliminating paper tags was supposed to solve a lot of problems, but some are worried it could be creating a new one. Tuesday night at 10 on CBS News, Texas. Why did he record that in his kitchen? Yeah he was like in a parking lot but I I gotta tell you I don't really care about that. I don't I don't really care about it at all. It's just okay they had this license plate thing now they don't. Now here's another one where we go to the i-team. Tonight at 10 another issue for the Delos Mavericks, an assistant coach arrested.

All right so already you know right here that we uh we have hit what we call in the news tease game a jackpot where we have for some local story designated the subject as basically a cartel target. It's so bad for them that they have to put the vo coder on. How bad could it be? My employees started sending me pictures of what's obviously undercooked chicken. I mean, it's not a cartel murder. It's undercooked chicken.

But I am still interested as a guy who eats a lot of chicken. My employees started sending me pictures of what's obviously undercooked chicken, but I am still interested as a guy who eats a lot of chicken my employees started sending me pictures of what's obviously under cooked chicken Something that was a major risk to the public Because I believe we got people sick, oh We got people sick. I'm so afraid right now that music to you. Where was that? That was that was a CBS story. It was a local thing

But that where do I need to not go now and don't eat that one in Jake's bag Let's see what else here so I have another thing That only I notice cuz I you know went went in close on this one. It's the, uh... And it's the Fox Four. It's how their bed opens. It opens like this. Tonight on Fox Four. So it's like this... It's got a little skip. It's got a little skip, but it's always in it.

Like a deal. It's got a little skip. It's got a little skip, but it's always in it So I don't know if like that's intentional or not but so and I Texted John Kukla about this The day that of course you did But somewhere in the month, they changed their bed. Wow. Good evening, Dan Henry here. Getting stuff done.

No, I didn't text him before complaining about it. All right. OK. I just texted him saying, hey, you guys got a new bed. Nice. I'm so fired up. But it was the same other skip. Let me just go back to any of this.

I just I think it had always been skipping before that yeah turn on Fox one. That's the old one. Yeah and I'll wrap up with this one real quick you know you'll get a weather tease every now and then WFAA doesn't go to Belkis as much as I thought they would because he's kind of the star of their show. But this was during the rookie I caught this very quick five-minute tease and immediately became upset that I was not made aware of it by my partner. A rare planetary alignment details attempt. What happened? Yeah. What happened? Was there something going on?

Wasn't that the night I came out and told you that my wife saw Mercury or something? Or Venus? Is that what it was? I don't know. But you could see, yeah. You could see planets aligning. Okay, well that's all we're going to throw Delkis. You know, there's a few other, they do a lot of like, during the California fires, CBS

National had a campaign where they were showing you I guess that the news media feels that they're basically troops and cops and teachers because they cover stories So they'll be like look this person's house burned down that's very sad we did a story on it so Yeah, basically the same as building rebuilding their house Yeah. It's basically the same as rebuilding their house. So they have bits within the news though, right? And within not just weather sports, NBC investigates. Oh yeah.

Isn't that what we used to do? Like Hang Zone investigates or whatever. Because reports was taken. Right. So and occasionally, yeah, they just promote that. Recent law changes could pump the brakes on your next emissions test. You'll probably have to drive a little further and very possibly wait a little longer. NBC5 investigates why getting a state inspection may be harder in counties requiring them.

Tonight at 10. So they have investigates. I love it. I love the CBSI team. I love when all of our local news outlets get into this stuff. But it is funny that in this ecosystem of Hollywood and news and news stories that are made into movies, they use the same production as if this is about like an attempted assassination of the president. Like they're reporting on like, hey, 9-11 is coming. But it's just, it's probably going to take longer to get your inspection done. It's always funny to me. My God, five minutes longer drive. And so yeah, Fox Four has something similar to this.

It's called Track Down Wednesdays. Oh, hell yeah. When you see the video, if you know them, you know them. And a lot of people know them. Arrests were made in those cases. People care. They're helping law enforcement make their own neighborhoods better. We're doing something good that people care about. Is that the rabbi himself? Sounds like it. That is Sean Rab.

The great Sean Rab. Yeah, and they got a big graphic Sean Rab. Because Sean Rab is on the case. And all I think of is Sean Rab on his cell phone by the big trash bin at the Fox Four parking garage every day. Did we tell you? He'll he'll smoke with rubber gloves on oh

Really I did that whenever I was a nor was a baby Yeah, he walked out to the to the dumpster with rubber gloves on that is so funny We literally do see him out there chasing stories every day. He's in the Tesla video Yeah, I don't see him smoking a lot. I usually just see him on his phone. Did I ever tell you guys I did that? What? Before we had vapes, and there was a six month period where I got into smoking a couple cigarettes a night, even without drinking. And I'd have to get up at 2 AM and stay up with the kid.

So I would just go outside with work gloves on, and I would just roast like half of a sink. What's wrong with you? It works. You don't want to be touching baby with your carcinogen hands. So I consider Sean Rabb a friend even though I don't know that I've ever actually spoken more than like five words consecutively to him. Tough to have a bad day when you run into Sean Rapp. But he's- Hi, how are you doing?

Yeah, seems like a good dude, but I don't know. I don't know what he does. He's investigating stuff. He's tracking down people on Wednesday. I don't know. But I put him in my list of, I consider these people friends that we saw advertised like this one has two of our friends in it this is my last one okay tomorrow is

fat Tuesday and we are cooking Cajun in the 10 kitchen plus Hawkeye in the morning is starting his morning with us we'll see see you on the 10th. No-vee. The great Steve Noviello, of course. Had in Hawkeye. Had Hawkeye in. Those two together, who knows? Yeah. Should we do news teases for the beginning of the show?

Tonight. Coming up, Jake calls Nico Harris in a pussy. Like, you want to to do it now and this will be what we play later sure Let's see you can prove or disprove I was gonna say I'll bet you I can get the Fox News tease bed. Yeah That's probably too. How long is that? Okay, let me try you got a while to hit the post. Yeah, that's too much, isn't it? Let's see.

OK, I'll do one. Do you want the music or no music? The same music? You want to start and then I end it? Yeah, I don't know if it's long. Or no? We go three voices? Blake, do you got a third to end it?

No, it's only like 10 seconds. I'll do a little and then Blake. You two get it. OK. OK, you ready yep a conclusion to Jake's neighborhood chicken story tonight plus severance talk why is KT full of crap next there we go all right all right open to the show There we go. All right. All right.

Here's the opening of the show. Woo. Yeah. The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone.

The Dumb Zone. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. How are those Stavi ticks? Did you get them all yet? I got a couple of people. I'd like to promote something, and this is the World Broadcast premiere of this information that earlier we did not have. We now do have a location for the trip we are taking to San Antonio on behalf of Lone Star Beer.

If you were confused about what Lone Star is sending us to San Antonio. Lone Star Beer. Actually, Lone Star Light is sending me. I'm not sure who's sending JK. But anyway, we have a place. It's called the Rose of San Antonio. It is a bar. And I'm looking at the location. You could walk to the Alamo from here. Like it's right there. You probably go see the Ripley's Believe It or Not museum.

They still got a Fuddruckers? Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum. They still got a Fuddruckers? If they don't, or if they do, You're going. I know exactly where I'm eating because they closed the Fuddruckers in Grapevine years ago. They did. And I look at it longingly.

I love Fuddruckers. Dude, where was I? I swear there used to be one by the Alamo. I'm trying to remember, was I out of state? I've recently been to a Fuddruckers. Like a month or two ago. Do you remember this, Blake? Was I telling you?

Like, I was that excited about it. It must have been Clumsier or something. Where was it? Was it New York? Yeah. I've been to New York lately. Maybe it was. Well, anyways. I've been to New York lately. Maybe it was.

Well anyways. Yeah, the point is we're going to be at the Rose of San Antonio. Okay, the Fudd Ruckers that I was thinking of. Friday, April 4th. Is two blocks away. .2 miles. Oh really? Is it still open? Yeah, I think so.

Are you guys not stoked on Fudd Ruckers? No, I mean it's fine. I haven'ters? No, I mean, it's fine. Haven't been in a really long time. It's fine. But I enjoyed it. Would you guys accompany me? Actually, I don't care if you do or not. I'm going to Fuddruckers.

I'll go sit with you. The last time we had a burger together, there was a train circling above our head in Cleveland. That was nice. Oh, yeah, that was fun. Yeah. And there was a hair in my burger. All right, so the Rose and possibly Fudd Ruckers.

I'm sorry I put my wiener in your burger. I don't know, it feels like I wanna go to Fudd Ruckers, but I really just wanna go with Dan. It's like your best friend taking you to his hometown. I wanna watch that. Look how you can put as many tomatoes as you want on your sandwich. Hey, you look like you want some ranch.

And you're just watching the employees watch him. Yeah. It's just great. Hey, what if I just go to one machine? What do you want to drink? What's your favorite drink? I'd love a Sprite, Dan. Yep.

Well, good news for you, Blake. They can all come out of this same spigot. OK, so the Rose will be there. A week from Friday. Hey, I fixed your clock. God, please fix the clock. It was not hard to do. Ask Clayton, who's our technical director,

if he couldn't change the time on a clock. Alright, let's get into sports. But the reason I'm mad at you is not because you didn't change the time on a clock. All right, let's get into sports. But the reason I'm mad at you is not because you didn't change it. It's because now I'm the guy that has to change it. Oh, yeah, I like that. Now every year. So come in October, when we fall back,

you're just going to turn the damn thing around, knowing full well that eventually I'll change it. I have a new idea. See how his wife feels now? I'm going to unplug it at noon. And then plug it back in. OK. Then it will be fine.

Hold down that one button and you can change it. The Tetris that is his life. It's amazing.
