Find out. Is it later? I don't know. Wait, next. Yeah, yeah, we should do. Today we are not in the Game Day Men's Health Studio. That's downtown Dallas. That's in the Fox 4 building.

GameDay.thumzone.com. That's everywhere. That's in the world. It's in me. I log in. It's in you. Yeah. That's right.

Right now. So yeah, you want to feel better? You want to be like Jake? That's what everybody does. Your wife is saying. Oh, you want to be like? Jake, huh? I guess that's why you're going to

Game Day Men's Health for 10% off your TRT for life. No, we're not there. We're high atop my garage. I guess you just want to throw your whole life away. We're high atop my garage. Not that part.

It looks like he's having fun. So, yeah, I do want to be like Jake. You could cap it off with a month a little introspection. Like it's one of the best months you've ever had really, probably. I was thinking about it this morning

and described it in my head as, it's like playing for parcels. Like at the time, everybody's like, oh good. But the further I get from it, I'm like, God, that may, that is, that's the best month of my life. That's the time that made you, yeah.

Yeah. Help shape who you are. Yeah. And even if you, just getting away for a month if you didn't have a bunch of BS going on, how can it not be great? Yeah. That's the best days of my career.

So yeah, be like Jake. The Parcells Day. So if you want, you could do all the drinking and stuff and then the rehab and then go to Game Day Men's Health, whatever order you want. Yeah. Maybe you want to go to Game Day Men's Health now. Well, here's why. Because I can't get you. And then start drinking.

I can't get you 10% off beer. What if you went to? You know, I can't get you 10% off rehab. I can get you 10% off TRT for life. What if you went to Game Day Men's Health? Then you went to. rehab, then you started your drinking career. Like a pre, before I even start drinking, I just want to know what it's going to make me turn me into.

This is probably not a great copy point, but you're going to be able to go a lot longer and a lot harder in that new drinking career because of game day. Yeah. So if you're a drinking type, I imagine this helps you get through. And then once you go back to rehab, you'll kind of, you know, the lay of land. Sure. Be familiar with the terrain. You need to say, oh, you know. Jennifer.

You know, you know the people. It's extremely common. Anyway. Game days. No, we're high atop my garage. And not to just make this a three-hour commercial, but I will just at least mention that Qualis roofing covered this garage, and they have a bit where if you get a roof,

if you end up buying a roof from them as well, they will give you a sit-in. They will pay for you to. come in and sit in and watch the show, sit on the couch next to Blake. He'll be on the couch with me. That's my face. That's how, that's like the tagline, he'll be on the couch with me. He likes saying it.

We have a guest, Lance. It is Lance. That's cool. Hi, Lance. You want to give out your last name? Sure. Yeah, it feels like you were being evasive with that with us. No.

No. Why does it say a different name on my, that's my bad. Run sheet? Yeah, no, this is like... Were you just being funny? No, I just read it as forehead. This is... It happens.

What's your last name? Forehand. Forehand. Like tennis. Yeah, there's a lot going on here. You guys, not to make the whole thing about rehab, but you may remember the rock, the actual physical rock that I came home from rehab with, that said, Reglect.

And everyone in rehab was confused. And they're like, we don't know that word. It must be a... I'm like, you guys, look at the keyboard. It's the G is next to the F. They typed Reglect and they just made it. Nobody would, the same thing as the N is next to the B. That's not good.

It's not good. Smaller and. Right, right, right, right. These things happen. These things happen. So I did introduce myself with, is your last name, Forehead? I also think I only read the first half of words and I just guess throughout the second half. So I saw four in an age and was like forehead.

You know, there's something to that, I think. Did you guys do the little test on Twitter? I got to 900. I got all the way through it. Is that 900? Yeah. Yeah. I was straining at the end a little bit.

I'm not going to lie. I know, dude. Yeah. I haven't done that. It's, I don't know that I could ever actually read that way. How would you describe it, Blake? You kind of just get the gist. The words are moving very quickly, and they speed up and they speed up, and they speed up.

But you're only focusing on the middle word in a series of words. You can read faster if your line of sight doesn't change. Like racing. And then they also highlighted a specific letter. Correct. It just came at you super quick, and you could tell what the words were because you weren't having to move your eyes and adjust. Let me tell you what a big of a...

It was all over Twitter for two days. It was exhilarating. Oh, I loved it. It was like the most fun I've had. I made my wife do it, and when she couldn't, I was like, moron. You're so much smarter than her. I seem to remember speed reading being a big thing at some point in the world.

Yeah, so do I. You'd have, be on Letterman or something. Oh, yeah, he can read. Now. Oh, yeah, he can read. Well, no, now you just listen to something on two times and you say, I'm a speed reader. Ah. I listen to that audiobook.

Yeah. Two times. So lots of sports to get into today. And we are in DFW. So we are kind of emerging. A little emerging yesterday afternoon. Actually, it was over 35 degrees. And you know that I won't drive under 55 or 35.

Right. And so I got out, did some, you know, little shopping, a little back to the grocery store. It was almost as busy as it was the day before the big freeze. Just because everybody was just getting out like, man, I've been eating crap for four days. Yeah, but the gym has been choice, though. What do you mean?

You've been there early morning? Yes. No one in there. Really? It's great. Yeah, it seemed to me like yesterday last night was a big restaurant time, like that they're back open. And for us, I was eating all the non-to-b-s my wife had made it home for four or five straight days. I was eating frozen stuff we bought years ago.

Yeah. Yeah. For real. And it's like, oh, we've never wanted to eat this, but it appears to still, I mean, it's probably good, right? It's frozen. Yeah, we'll be at the Tex-Mex spot by 5 o'clock this afternoon. I showered for the first time in four days yesterday. Shut up, dude.

What? I feel like I showered more. I hadn't showered since Friday. You're just sitting in your own show. Why? Because it's like, and it felt like I was just wearing pajamas the whole time. I was wearing like the same two sweatshirts. Yeah, I guess.

But when I do the show at home, like when I had the flu, I have to put on pantalones, man. I can't. It has to feel different. Four days, dude. That's insane. Well, I knew. I mean, I actually did this. I was like, oh, that, like I smelled my own B.O.

If you could smell your own B.O. It happens to me a lot. That's why I have to shower a lot. That hits me before four days. It hits me before 4 p.m. Well, I think when you lose hair, you can, you can shower less. It's okay. Yeah, perhaps.

Who is that? Charlie Villeneueva. Yeah. Alopecia. That guy never shower. I love how you're inadvertently telling us, or maybe you're just a sick pup, that you just don't sex ever. Well. I just don't need a shower.

Certainly not in the freeze. When I showed up Tuesday, he was like... There's not a lot of sex. Oh, I didn't expect to see you today. And then the next time I saw him about five minutes later, he had changed clothes. I just sit around in my own filth. That makes sense. But with the kids being stuck in the house...

Yeah, there's not a lot of sex going on. No, I'm not. And that was fresh off our discussion about how there was a COVID baby bust. Yeah. And we didn't have kids during COVID, thank God. But yeah, dude, there's no one. You need some warm? It's not, you're just tired of everyone.

Everybody's always there. Everybody's, when you get four days off, you get days off. Like, I don't have to go to work. Everybody's thing is different. I loved. You know, organized. I kind of put away the Christmas stuff and organized some stuff, threw some stuff away. Pretty excited about it.

My wife, her tact is to, well, what's on TV that I've never heard about, but I might just try a show. Let's go fishing. She said she only tried this show because it was on the, they did an SNL spoof. But my wife's watching the gay hockey show now. Yeah. And she loves it. Everyone who watches it does. Aide in, or like, she did it all in two days, and she's like,

it's actually a really great show. Yeah, there's a lot of dudes having sex. A lot of dudes having sex. And I heard the guys laughing about that a little bit on the ticket, knowing that I also, if I worked with Bob, would start watching this show. Yeah. He hates it, right? Well, he just, you know, just the idea of it is sickens him.

And that's the only reason they're doing it. And it's the only reason I would do it as well. But apparently it's a good show, according to my wife, who... Again, it's the thing of, do you trust a fat guy on if this is good food or a skinny guy? Like, if you tell me, I really think this show is good. You should watch it. Because I don't watch much or... Yeah, I might really believe you because you're so discerning with your time.

But when... When it's being compared to just... The flight attendant... The... The Antiques Road Show. Right. Murder. Murder 101, whatever.

She loves those shows, of course. Anyway. One more thing before I got to tell you another thing, which is something that happened big this morning. But while we were gone, so now we're digging out of things, we didn't win the Jimmy Carter chairs. Yeah. On Friday, we had found out that Jimmy Carter, the two Jimmy Carter, the two Jimmy Carter, the two Jimmy Carter chairs that he sat in

with his wife and then the Bidens were flanking them and somehow some optical illusion makes it look like I don't think there was an illusion All right well the Bidens are like double the size of the Carter's and

the chairs were up for auction they had estimated it would be between $3 and $5,000 that they would fetch for these things which we had like really crunched the number have been like, fine, let's do it. All right, let's.

That's a number that is worth a new studio. Yes, we're building a new, Fox 4 is building a new studio. So they're putting us in there. This would be great. It would, that's all, that's what we're all about. So much better than Muck Hutz van, because you don't have to get insurance for it. Anyway, it went for, let's see, if I have it here. It went for $10,795.

A pair of those that pair of chairs Which when Dan told me that I was a Four out of ten mad If it had been twenty thousand dollars I would have been a zero out of ten mad And if it had been fifty three hundred Both of us could have paid five grand out of her pocket I started thinking to myself like

There's no way but it's close enough to where You know if we were talking about twenty five hundred or something Then it felt doable Write it off Blake Yeah, so plus I did look at once the weekend hit, I was putting it into the, you have fees, you have storage fees, you have travel, it would have been an extra $2,000. Sure. So whatever it says, it would have been, you know, $13,000, $12, $13,000. And it wasn't a listener?

No one has informed me. Now if somebody walks in one day and says, hey. Oh, our millionaire guy. Yeah. break off 10 grand out of the 158 millie maybe Lance maybe Lance is going to reveal that at the end of the show boy that'd be great by the way Lance has a great mustache yeah he does and it really highlights the fact that you've shaved yours and you look like musculoskeletal Blake yeah I look like a little baby yeah I just like the mustache it just feels right on him not that it's bad the other way it's

It does age you, though. Yeah, but you definitely look. I would say 24 years older. Boyd needs a little aging, you know? Yeah. Yeah. I just feel weird playing basketball or at the gym with it. Like in the sauna, you think you're sending the wrong message.

Yeah. There are places where I just feel really weird. That's your speed of. In girls basketball games is one place where I felt weird. Well, does that mean that there's a mustache vacancy? I liked mine. I think my wife hated it. Bring it back.

It felt too weird when Blake had it. We're getting... Well, we're not that close to May, are we? We're closer to May than we were, like yesterday. Uh-huh. That's your May stash opportunity. Okay. What's the other one called?

November. November. Yeah. That's bad, bad name. Don't like it. May stash works better. And... And...

I was just going to do, like, Dictator December. See if it took off. You believe what? What about no nut November? Dry January. Yeah. High January. This morning, I woke up to a bunch of texts.

One was from you, Blake. Sorry. Well, no. I was very glad you told me. Blake just knew. Others were like, hey, I was on it. I got scammed. I believe this is on the heat

It couldn't have been more than one or two shows ago I proclaimed that I can't be scammed Yeah this is now I'm wondering if somebody Intentionally did this after your claim And now I'm worried if I'm going to get kidnapped Tell me if this is a scam Oh I'm very excited So I certainly got

I'm some Somebody got into my Gmail My personal account And sent out Birthday Party invitations from me. Did you not get this? No. If I did, I didn't. It didn't. Okay. I deleted it.

He's blocked you. I don't think yours. I think yours would show up important, like a little tab. Well, here's the thing. So, yeah, Dustin, our business lawyer, was one of those guys that also just said, hey, I think you've been scammed or whatever spammed. and it's because he's like, I think you should change your password. Or Blake told me I think you should change your password. McCool, our other lawyer. It's all our lawyers are like, eh, I clicked on it. And then he sent me a list of all the emails that were on my sent and said,

do I, if I want to inform people, you're on this list, Clayton. Did you get something from me this morning or recently? No? Okay. Am I? No. Okay. For some reason, you're not.

But, so last week, Julie sent me an email. Did you click on that one? It was a birthday party invite. And I thought, Julie Dobbs, birthday party, cool. I like Julie, and it seemed reasonable. who loves birthdays more than Julie. Well, I clicked on it, and it was like, okay, here you are in your email,

put in your password, your Gmail password, and I did. Because it's from Julie. I clicked on it, but then sniffed it out pretty quick after that. So this is where I... Yeah. So I put in my Gmail password, but then it just sent me back to the opening page again.

Okay, can I ask? So it was an endless loop. I was going to ask you about it and Julie and I knew what usually happens when I say something to Jake like this

because I've said it before when we were doing party invites I'm like you know what I don't think you should have that or there's no address on there or something and they'll be like dude this is where you're

I hate to say it I know you're like but this is where you're like a little older than me and you just don't get it that people this is the way it is This is people sign up for things, and they just click on it.

I'm like, really? Okay, I don't feel comfortable, but okay, let's just send out this party invite. Remember, when we had the Christmas party, and we're getting responses of, hey, what exactly? Am I allowed to bring a plus one? That was the thing. I'm like, dude, you should put on there that you should do people know. All right, I'm an old man. I'm not going to.

So I wasn't going to question this. Like, oh my gosh, I'm in a loop. It must be my fault. I'm not going to tell them. I'll just ask Julie about her party. Yesterday we're on a business Wednesday phone call. Thank you, Sean Kernan, 360 wealth management. And she had mentioned something about last year's birthday party.

And I was about to say, like, hey, I just got the invite for this year's, but we were on the call with like Spinks and Andy and all that. And I was like, what if she didn't invite them? Yeah. I'm on the real list. Yeah. Like I'm a real friend of Julie's, so I don't want to even mention it now. because, you know, but anyway, so now I had to call Julie this morning to see if it,

and is this like if I got the aides or the crabs or something, is it my obligation now to text all of these people or call them that are on this email list that, at least Dustin says, these are all the emails that were listed on there here. Do I need to contact everybody and say, hey, I had crabs when we did it? Yeah, I think so. I do. Yeah. Because I've told you in Clayton, or at least Clayton, and he said he hasn't gotten it.

I got this. I got it. I looked at it now. Oh, you got my email? Yeah, someone didn't break into your Gmail account. They broke into the account for the thing that's on there. That's what I was saying, I think. That's what I was going to ask is when you.

But I went and changed my password then this morning. But when you clicked through this, it's punch bowl, right? Yes. When you clicked through that and it asked you to authenticate. there, that's the only thing that they're getting access to, right? Your punch bowl login, which is the same as your Gmail. What I'm saying is it's not like they could read, somebody's reading your email.

Oh, my punchbow login was the same as my Gmail? If you click through Google. Which is often the case for most. Yeah. Probably just went to both. It's just like verifying it. I'm trying to remember, because I got this and I think I might have clicked. Now I don't even want to test it. So I told Julie that I did this. She's like,

I knew it was fake because your dance you wouldn't have a birthday party She's like I knew right away That you wouldn't have a birthday party I also it was sent at three in the morning Oh was it? Yeah

Blake's smart Blake's sniffing it out Yeah but you You know you could set it up to go out At a certain time who knows Somebody else is doing it I don't know I'm now worried if I don't recall

You're saying there was a latency period Like you got this happened last week I did it But then you may be getting one from me But did you click and put your password? I don't think so That's the thing I remember getting to that stage I clicked and put my password in

Five times Thinking I don't Well let me try it on a different browser Well let me try it with someone else's computer Like I'm just I really wanted to go to Julie's party I'm just Julie I'm not to

Yeah the funny thing is Is that we were having like The same day We were having this meeting About the summer event and he was talking, like, giving her crap because she wasn't there last year for her 40th birthday. And that was, you know, notably five to six months in the future from now. And I didn't put that together.

But you did think of, like, I don't want to blow somebody else's spot up that didn't get invited. Right. But I didn't think about, yeah, wait, that was June. And there's also the fact that Julie, if anybody I know at 40 would have a half birthday. Yeah. How bad is your website? when the third link on Google search is, how to tell if your Punch Bowl invitation is real?

Not good. Not good SEO. All right. Well, this is not a commercial for Punch Bowl. You know who won't scam you. Go on. I don't know. That was the setup.

Not I need to find one. Oh. I don't know. Let's go Trident. Trident. I was just about to say that. Same page. I talked to Jeremy the other day.

I heard about that. And I said, Jeremy. Welcome to the program. And then we talked about Triton. Trident Access Services. He says he's feeling well. He had a disc replaced in his neck. That sounds bad.

That's veteran stuff, dude. Because they are veteran owned and first responder owned. And it is Trident Access Services who saved me from my garage door, possibly falling on my car. They came out for, like, the tune-up. You just have them come out for a tune-up. Just kind of check everything he got. Check the, I don't know, bearings. That's the word they used.

Right. The way, you know, the rollers and all that kind of stuff. But they might find something big like me where they had put the garage door in. My old company didn't find a stud and it was falling out of the wall. So it could have fallen down on my car if it wasn't for Trident Access Services. And that tune-up special is $39.99. So get that done. And then if you need work going forward, you'll get 10% off.

as a dumb zone listener at tx trident.com, your garage door, your entry gates. They're doing a lot in that space these days. This is not your grandpa's garage door, okay? This is Trident Access Services. TXTridant.com. Do some sports or whatever? Yeah.

SEShi, whatever you want to do. From the wonderful world of sports, radio sports, scoreboard. Oh, yeah, I like that. Got to play you a quick piece of audio. from a sporting event over the past weekend that we previewed. That is Alex Honnold climbing a tower called Taipei 101. And he did it live on Netflix.

He's a free solo guy, 60 minutes. You've probably seen him. He kind of looks like a monkey, which feels good to be able to say, to just look at a human being. Know they look like a primate and it'd be okay for me to say it. Look, many humans do. I feel like we're in some kind of a chain there. Davies-Preton's.

Davies-Preton's certified champ. Sam Ponder, we have the former manager of the Rangers, Buck Showalter. Yeah. Take a look at him, folks. Yeah, that's a good one. Alex Honnold, definitely one of them. His wife, normal-looking person. But if you've ever watched any of the stuff on him, to my knowledge.

More human. Look at these ears. I know. There's something, you know, it's whatever. He has his wife there at the climb, and she's inside the tower that he's climbing. So, you know, it's got glass, you can see out, huge windows. And the broadcast is very long.

I only watched about 20 minutes of this. So they're filling a lot of time, because guess what? He's just climbing. He's either climbing or he's fallen, and right now he's not falling. So before that, there's no defense. Like, he's just climbing. And they're talking about him climbing.

To fill part of that time, they get his wife in there on a mic. And I thought you guys would enjoy this. And I will confirm that it'll be a hell of a climber. It's not that far off. I mean, that's got to be incredible. I mean, to be able to have her here and to see her face on the way up, that's got to just, I mean, that's got to, I mean, that she's shaking. She's nervous. But that's got to just reinvigorate him, like, to push him to the,

the next level. I know having my wife at my side. The great Becky Lynch, by the way, the greatest of all time. Oh, yes. How relatable like every guy. I can't, I can't contain my excitement. My wife is here. Are we, yeah, did you cheat on her or are you planning on it? What are you doing? Oh, good, man. I was in a rut. My wife is here. At my side. The great Becky Lynch, by the way, the greatest of all time. When we're there for each other, I mean, that support is that you cannot put it into words what that means yeah I mean I know Alex is a hero but I think Sonny might be the true hero right now wait a second wait this guy's hanging on top of a building let's back up in the wind and swang he's got dust pile oh shit I don't know

and but her this is the real hero in here but can I back up even before she she being a hero so did they show the kids being saved or what Why, the word hero is I'm just trying something really stupid, but no one else would do it. Right. Like, uh... The first guy who went oki-nootling or something. Like, okay, you figured that out. I don't know.

I guess. We weren't really wondering. Death that, like, is, uh, evil can evil, a hero? Well, I mean, by people who think evil can evil is badass, I probably so. Does that make you a hero? And am I a hero? Because, uh, my wife's actually just sitting right there. She's what?

It means a lot, honey. It means a lot that you're here. and supporting me. If anything, like his greatest accomplishment is being able to do this with bringing his wife to work with him. Like, we wouldn't be able to win wars like that. Yeah.

If the troops all had to bring their wife. You sure you want to... Although that could have maybe helped out somebody if they were like, you know, let's take half the army on the Russian front and half of it, you know, over here. Why are you carrying your gun like that? No, don't shoot him.

Right. Where are we going? nagging in the field and the military wife. I got to pee. Oh, man. But yeah, I really enjoyed. Yeah, I mean, I know Alex is a hero,

but I think Sonny might be the true hero right now. Truly. Truly. That's got to be so, so stressful. Hold on. You know what this is. I can think of at least one thing more stressful than watching someone climb.

This is. It is climbing. All right, let me go back to an old argument that I've had. Yep, the neighbor. It's the first thing I thought of this morning. Because I had a neighbor die, a man, and left his wife and two kids. And she said she feels really sorry for him. This is like she feels terror, like I can't imagine.

She feels so sorry for her. She had a husband that died. She has these two kids to have to deal with. I feel so sorry for her. I go, you know, I feel really sorry for him. Like he lost his life. He's not alive. She's like, oh, no, no, no.

It'd be worse to be her. I go, wait. How many Hollywood films are the guy who's Josie Wales or the gladiator or whatever? It's their family died. They were killed by whatever, and they just, they have a redemption. They carry on. How many guys are people, you know, remarried and actually have a great second act, you know. Yeah.

Yeah. She's like, no, it's worse being her. The list of ones who have come back from life is pretty short. So I'd rather be on the... It's more nervous being her than it is to be Alex. Yes, yeah. And while I find this very funny, I... From like a philosophical standpoint, certainly get it.

But to take that on down to boy, I bet it's more stressful to watch this, the most stressful, actually. Than to do it. insane. It's a why Hillary lost for sure. Do you think they'd ever say that about a dude standing there? A dude standing there watching his wife and they're like, you know who's having it the hardest right now, that guy. Imagine he's weeping.

Right. Oh, look how strong is. He's weeping right along with her. You guys want to talk Belichick? I want to hear you talk Belichick. Yeah, I don't, you know my stated Hall of Fame thing. Go ahead. the Hall of Fame suck, right?

Yeah, I just, I don't, I don't really care. I get involved when everyone's talking about it. I don't, but like this one I think exposes how silly it is. This is what I'm saying. If this can happen, well, there's very few, like, definite, definite, definite. And this is, what I'm saying, this, Belichick snubbed for the Hall of Fame on his first year of eligibility. Is the Luca trade of Hall of Fame inductions? Like trades are always made

Inductions are always made But very rarely is there something that happens And that everybody except for Matt Brunig Says this is Brunig hopped on this one Did you see it yesterday? No Oh yeah

He's right back at it I love it He's right back at it No days off He also got a bar stool I saw that article written About how dummy It only feeds him

He's the best Yeah How smart he is Well, it only feeds it. But it's just, this is something that's just so, I've criticized the NHL in the past. For the mall thing? For, they have a, when you retire, five years later,

you're eligible for the Hall of Fame. The second Wayne Gretzky retired, they said next year you're in the Hall of Fame, like right now. Okay. And I was like, I criticize them because you can get another news cycle later on for remembering Wayne Gretzky. But they said, we're waiving that requirement, that's how good you were.

And the year after he retired, he was in the NHL Hall of Fame. That's what should have happened. Like, if indeed there was some behind the scenes thing going on and the votes came in and actually, whoa, Belichick didn't get in. The Hall of Fame should have never. The Hall of Fame should have never let that get out. They should have said, we're the Hall of Fame. And Belichick's in the Hall of Fame.

You won more Super Bowls than everybody. Okay. You've done this and this. You're in the Hall of Fame. That's just ridiculous. So on the Gretzky thing, I would have had a problem with it on the grounds of that's why we have rules. It's the same to me as swallowing the whistle in the last minute of a game. If you're going to have the rule, that's the rule.

He's got to wait. I had never even thought about the business element of it, but you're totally right. They could milk that for the whole time. Yeah. Right? This one, it does feel a little bit different because while there are rules about it, it's also this weird process. I've always thought the process is terrible. I learned more about it this morning than I ever wanted to know.

A couple odd things about the NFL Hall of Fame. I've always, I've had a thought that it's the least legitimate Hall of Fame in one sense because they have a mandatory amount of people that have to go in every year. Yeah, like it's like the All-Stars in baseball from every team thing. Like that makes it feel kind of lame. Right. Were you a real All-Star or was you're the best player on the Indians in 1983? Well, that doesn't mean that you're that good.

So, yes, they have a minimum. Some years, Major League Baseball would have zero Hall of Fame players voted in. And I like that in the sense of, hey, there's a certain level that is required to get in here. And not just if you were the best in the last few years. You have to be the best in history. One of the best in history. And that's what I go to. I'm going to jump back and forth because there's a lot of,

parts here, but some of the explanations given. In fact, one guy from the Kansas City Star or whatever wrote an article said, this is why I didn't vote for Bill Belichick. And it was that, because I guess there's not as many coaches voted in, and coaches maybe are voted in with the senior committee players or something. And so these are players that are on their last shot. Yeah. And a couple of old chiefs, right?

Perhaps I know Elsie Greenwood is one I've been reading about. He was a Steelers player of the 70s. But my take on that would be, all right, if every year, and let's even say Darren Woodson, because a lot of people around here are pretty stoked about Darren Woodson has to get in. And I better see this same energy about being upset if Darren Woodson doesn't get in. That's ridiculous. That's absolutely ridiculous.

Just, yeah, go on. So, all right, L.C. Greenwood wasn't one of the tops when he retired that year, right? He didn't get in six or eight, how many? Next year. Oh, but now look who these other guys retired. Mike Singletary retired now. I mean, he's better than L.C. Greenwood, so I'm going to vote for him, you know. Every year, every year.

Well, now we get 30, 40 years away. He's on his last leg. and you're like, oh, while Belichick's on there. Well, I know he'll, that's what the Kansas City guy kind of said. Yeah. I'm sure Belichick will get in. Listen, the-L.C. Greenwood might not, though, if I don't vote for him now, so I better vote for him now.

Wait, what? That's the point. He's not a Hall of Famer, that means. That means every year some better players or coaches or whatever get ahead of them. And it might happen to Darren Woodson. It might happen to Jason Whitten. Yeah. You know, but that just means you're not in the Hall of Fame.

But if you are so good that you're the, you're well, everybody knows you're the best of all, well, let's just fire you in right away. Otherwise, yes, it delegitimizes the whole thing. Not that we thought this was legitimate before, but it's odd that this has come in the same few days, same week, I guess, we could say that it delegitimizes it as much as the, The Pro Bowl has been delegitimized by Shador Sanders being named a Pro Bowl player. Is he not a pro? Yeah, it's insane.

Like, that's the most ridiculous thing. I struggle to make sense of it. I mean, the Pro Bowl has always been kind of a marketing slash give the players something cool. Quarterbacks have decided they don't care. I make $50 million and you're going to send me to Vegas to have to do all this crap. don't really want to do. Yeah, but I bet a bunch of them that early in their careers, it was helpful for them. So, I mean, I don't blame Shador.

But if you're a kicker who makes a league minimum, you're probably pretty fired up to get your family a free trip. Get a free trip, get in front of the right people. So the only thing I would say on the Hall of Fame deal is just it is like if Michael Jordan didn't get into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot, right? It is the liquid trade. But the problem is these things. these decisions compound upon one another. So like you're cleaning up old messes and it just perpetuates. I don't know how they would fix it.

That's like lie, right? Lie upon lie. Yeah, but like can you have a libertarian? Like, we're starting at zero. Like, because then I don't know how you clear the decks and redo it. But once you have those past decisions being made of this person has to get in, but I'm not going to do it on this. I mean, dude, the guy you're talking about in Kansas City said he believes Bill Belichick

the first ballot Hall of Famer. He just didn't vote for him. Like, that's the level, because he had. You shouldn't have a vote. He had these other things. But his logic, I mean, if he, I know what you're saying. Those guys just aren't Hall of Famers, but if he's been operating thinking they are, but I got that one in my back pocket, the systemic, it.

Right. But it's the self-important. You ever meet a NFL Hall of Famer voter that? It's like a Crossfitter. He was just like kind of chill. I'll let you know about it. The importance of their duty to the history and the game. Like, do you know that some baseball was it like Nolan Ryan?

When Nolan Ryan retired, he did not get 100% of the vote because baseball writers and they know who they are and then they write the article after. Like, why didn't vote for Nolan Ryan? Because Babe Ruth didn't get 100% of the vote. Right. Yeah. It sucks that it just starts to feel like it's. just a bureaucratic.

It feels like a government. And doesn't that say something, too? If Babe Ruth didn't get on, like, what was going on there? Like, do we now, like, we can trace, you guys have sucked since the first ever Hall of Fame vote? Like, why would Babe Ruth not have gotten 100%? Certainly Ted Williams didn't because he was mean to a lot of reporters. Yeah. Belchick was mean to a lot of reporters.

I think that's why Jackie Robinson didn't get 100% too. That's right. He just was not a good dude. He was such a jerk. reporters all the time. A lot of the smoke seems to be emanating from Bill Pollian. Yeah. Stepping back up to the main stage.

Former Bill's GM. Who, let me see the... And Colts, right? An Colts. Let's see what he had... Okay, so in an interview with ESPN... This is current or an old one. very current

he denied telling fellow voters that belichick should serve a one-year penance for spygate but he said he heard his fellow voters float that idea he insisted he didn't agree or disagree with the proposal pollian said he voted for craft because robert craft that's another

thing here is up and even spoke up on his behalf during the deliberation saying craft had no knowledge of the spy gate scheme. Polion added, he could not remember if he voted for Belichick. That is a wild thing to say. Just lie. I mean, you know, there might be like, if you went to an event and you didn't, you met like

50 people and the guy who was hosting the event. And then somebody out, yeah, you're not going to remember everybody, but you'll remember if you met the guy. It's Bill Belichick. Like, if you set out L.C. Greenwood or whatever the case is, but everybody's going to remember their vote on Belichick. He's just lying. The

internet remembers a lot of things about Bill Pollian. He said the Colts took Aaron Hernandez off their 2010 draft board. This is after the fact. Taking a dig at the Patriots for even drafting a player like that.

And then the internet will say, you drafted Ray Carruth while you were the GM in Carolina. He lost three straight Super Bowls, of course. The first loss was because of a Bill Belichick defensive game plan that is in the Hall of Fame. That was the Giants beating the Bills. He was the Colts GM. And yes, Belichick's Patriots were a rival at the time. the Patriots got the better of them more often than not. And let's see.

Oh, he's the one before the draft that said maybe he could squint and see Lamar Jackson as a wide receiver, but he certainly would never draft him as a quarterback. And he's won two MVP's, of course. Mike Sando wrote pretty much, Mike Sando said pretty much. what I was just saying. You just kind of vote for the best people on the board every year, and then whatever happens later happens later. You're not supposed to think about it in the big picture there. He does say if someone slips into the senior pool abyss, the Hall of Fame can figure out how to rectify that. Vote for the best candidates every time and you can't go

wrong. Yeah, it's a really weird deal. It's weird because I started thinking about, obviously, SpyGate and Deflake Gator are a part of this. Some people have flat out. said, yeah, as you said, Pullian confirmed some people was talking about, you know, settling a score. Bad blood, you got to pay for this, which I don't know. I saw the clip, the excerpt from Michael Silver's book, I think, where he had a, Mike Shanahan set down with Roger Goodell back in, like, 2007, and was trying to tell him, like, look, dude, everybody's doing this to some degree.

He's just doing it better than I knew you could do it. Jimmy Johnson's been heavy on that on Twitter right now. Like, look, we were doing this, blah, blah, blah. Everybody's trying. That's the science. You know. You see what Jimmy Johnson did? Huh.

Very confusing. Hard to explain, but I'll try. He quote tweeted a clip from an NFL game and said, you know, this is insane. This voters should show themselves disgusting that people don't know whatever, right? It was the thing that you know that he said. except he just quote-tweeted a random field goal from a Texan's Monday night football game a few weeks ago. It's just a Kai, R.I.E. Kai Fairbear, whoever there. He probably clicked on the birthday email as well.

It just, it was like I was watching and I kept being like, he's an old man. What does this have to do with the greatest head coach of all time, the second quarter fuel goal? But yeah, man, I don't. I even started thinking, like, okay, are people mad at him because of his public image now? But it's like, no, that's why they'd put him in. They all want a 23-year-old piece of butt. Well, yeah, is it jealousy over the young tale that Bill Belichick is getting? Maybe. Maybe.

It's weird. But certainly, yes, he's not well-liked within the NFL. It doesn't seem. That reminds me of one-day doors and closets. In no way. I don't know. Excuse me. There is no relation to that at all, except that.

These Hall of Fame doors. One Day Doors and Closets is a great sponsor of ours, and they have a deal where you can actually get two doors for the price of one. Yeah, and what they do is they come out and they measure the doors in your homes. These are custom doors. It's not like a big box handyman type situation where they're just kind of throwing it together. They've got 3D technology. Very important in homes. homes around this part of the world.

They shift. Things move. You need a door that's exactly what you need. They do it. And you're going to save 30 to 50% compared to those bigger outlets. They come to the house. They measure. They cut the doors. Like Dan said, at One Day, Texas.com slash promo 30.

The deal is buy one door, get to. And perhaps donate one to a local soup kitchen. It's one day doors and closets. Tell Josiah we sent you. We continue. Got something, Blake? Yeah, it's not really sports. Well, this is a session, my friend.

Okay. All right, well. Oh, yeah. I don't know. I don't know if it's good stuff either. Yeah. So if you have something in there with like, this might be good, it might not.

Play it now. But something happened over the break while we were gone that I wanted to talk about because Ed Waller, Wallace passed away. And for those that don't know, Ed Wallace, I met. He did a car show on KLIF Saturday mornings for a long time. A talk show where he would discuss, in theory, cars.

Like click and clack? Very much so, like the Tapper brothers. Well, you were like his engineer? Yeah. And so people would call it. Let me say this. Less to zero schick. like he had a flare, but the Tapper brothers were like doing, you know what I mean?

They had kind of a send-up. Ed Wallace was more of a serious figure to, like, comment on, I think that's important because he would comment on serious things. And that's what I was going to say. People would call in, hey, what, the dealer screwing me on this warranty, what should I do? Or, hey, I'm in the market for an SUV with good gas mileage. And he could do all that kind of stuff. But then if the next caller said, hey, what do you think of the,

war on terror he could go on for 20 minutes about it oh wow did he buy the time one of those things he might have eventually i don't know okay i don't know but i knew that he worked at cliff for a long time so i don't think so and you know i had a ton of dan bennett stories had a bunch of stories of just everyone that's come through and when the ticket started you know he was a he was a he was a Humilar, Susquehanna guy. But yeah, so I began engineering his shows when I was 22 years old, when I was reading Orthopedic Associates ads, actually before that. And so, you know, when I got hired, I was not allowed to do ticket stuff yet.

I hadn't either, I don't know, what hadn't been around enough, wasn't good enough, wasn't in the good graces enough. There's a bar for that. There is. Yeah. Wow. So I had to cut my teeth doing Ed Wallace shows. And I'll tell you, Ed Wallace was way more difficult than the ticket.

Because he had a sense of whether you cared or not. Like if the tablecloth wasn't perfect, he'd let you know about it. The speaker was too loud. We're not sitting where we're supposed to. When the door opens, the cold draft. Like, everything had to be perfect and pristine. And so that's how I learned more, you know, less about how to, twist and tweak, but just about how the show should feel.

And one of his biggest test was when he would walk in and he put the headset on, mind you, we were on AM radio. So none of this mattered. None of it's getting through at all. And he was an early adopter. I think he did stream it on Cliff's website. But he sat down and was like, okay, testing, all right, bring the high end just up a little bit. One, two, one, no, too much.

Cut it back. All right, add some low end. Now take out the mids. And it's just like he is just EQing it. Okay, so when we'll say turn it up a little. It's fucking volume, not EQ. Okay, he's sitting down like specific IQ like... EQ and mixing his headphones, which, again, over AM radio is going to come out, extremely compressed, flat.

Like, I don't know that you're going to be able to tell. You can't tell. You really can't tell. Now, did you ever raise that issue with him or did you just... No, though. No. You just... Because that's not...

What mattered. What mattered is he wanted to feel good about a show. Okay. And so that's what that taught me is it doesn't matter that he's wrong. And there were a lot of things that we ran into- You want to be comfortable. You want him to be comfortable. That'll make for better shows.

Well, I think it taught me in a way just how to be deferential in a good way around talent or whatever. Like even if I thought I was right or I knew I was right about something, he was the guy. He's the host. He's the talent. just provide for him whatever he needs. Now, when did you learn to not act like that anymore? Now that I think about the timeline, I mean, if they made him start out there,

he weaseled himself into like every ticket road trip and reliably was the guy people wanted within like two years. You're not doing that by like being an asshole. And you're not doing that by, no offense, doing the T-box. Yeah. Like this is the kind of person. than I needed at a young age. And I told this to him in an email.

He was one of the few men that I learned how to be an adult because of this guy. How to just not be a smart ass, a young kid, just how to act around grownups, how to be professional, how to be punctual. And here's how you carry yourself. And I owe a lot of who I am today, both professionally and personally, because of Ed Wallace. So would you say he was an asshole? about it? Like, should you be an asshole? Now, it depends. Is there another

way that we could have created Blake as we know him? Had he been different? I wonder. Because I've certainly had asshole bosses and... One of life's great questions. Like, I had a... Just a guy that would walk around when I'm busing the, you know, the cleanup

and the bus boy and when I didn't know what the box was for the ladies' tampons and stuff. But he would walk around with a white glove and run his finger on this and like and actually I remember like there was an inflection point in my head of I should just tell this guy F you but I was also like you know what what if I just start doing it all like this and then I did and then you get like a nickel raised and you feel good

but so I guess I owe that guy something for being the guy that because yes I would show up late I would not shave and he would hand me a razor and be like here go shave I'm like wait I don't have shaving cream he's like yeah i told you our busboys have to be clean shaven you're the go shave or you're just not going to work here and i thought i i want the job well i so do i credit him you know i had trained with a couple engineers that would butt heads with him and he would he would ask them to not work on a show and so when it was finally my time to get a shot i just knew how to operate in a way to not piss him off because what are you gaining by doing that

he's the guy it's his show and so i just learned how to accompany him and you know he did a saturday morning show from eight to one o'clock and so i'm having to wake up at 4.30 i'm not getting home until five you know that was my entire saturday but during the week i could tell i was i had to get up for it just because i knew i couldn't stay up late and look like shit the next day like he could tell. And I just had to hold myself to a higher standard. So I don't know. It was one of those things where it's like any football coach where like he acted like an asshole at the beginning and I hated him. But over time, I just like grew to know he just demanded a certain level out of people that were around him and for a show. And so I just, I grew to love him. Are you ever friends of any sort?

No, no, no, no. But I think, you know, over time, he grew to rest. respect me a little bit and he would, you know, give me some cash after the show for, for my help. And I thought that was awesome to be handed 50 bucks at, you know, 24 or whatever. But he was great. I loved his show, and, you know, at the beginning I didn't care anything about cars. And over time, I would just sit there and listen to the show because, you know, he would, he had no run sheet. He would just show up. He had a partner that would read his intro.

But then he just had this fat stack of papers that he had stories highlighted of here, like, The price of a barrel of oil is going up in whatever. This is what it means for the economy. Here's something, just all of these stories that he wanted to get to. And then when he was tired of doing stories, he'd open up the phone lines. And then he would talk to college for the show. Was there banter back and forth, him and his co-hosts? Hardly ever.

He was just talked straight. Hardly ever. That's always a weird. I've had shows like that, and I've never felt comfortable with that. I'm just talking to the void. where you were by yourself? Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, you do, I guess it is very weird. I did it with tickers and the top ten. That's a lonely feeling, too. Yeah. But. Well, that, at least you're not delivering your hot sports opinions. No. When you're giving your opinions.

Technically wrong is when it's really in your by yourself and you're kind of trying to. But you're right. Yeah, who are you talking to? Like trying to imagine, you know. But Ed Wallace was. He. My stepdad was a big listener, and he was one of the first, you know,

long-form, like, talk show hosts I ever heard. Yeah, you never knew where it was going to go. He was stuck in, he was stuck. He was very old school, so he would pre-record some of these segments, which were fantastic. He would do one called the backside of American history, which was stories from,

just stories of history that you didn't know growing up. And I listened to a couple on the way over here. and one of them was like Coca-Cola's impact on World War II. Like some cities that the United States had established fronts in only got clean water so that they could ship Coke concentrate over, bottle it, use the clean water, and give out to troops. And Coke would give any servicemen a Coke for five cents. And then Pepsi came in and said, okay, we'll give Pepsi to servicemen for free.

and that became the start of the cola wars and there was a PR involved where the United States or Coke Cola didn't want any German forces being photographed with a Coke and so they weren't allowed Coke so they had to drink Fanta and that's when Fanta got big and then Coke bought Fanta. I don't know, just stuff like that

that you're not going to read about in a history book. He would do a 15 to 20 minute pre-recorded segment on it and he would burn it on a CD and so he'd have backside of American History CD, a classic track CD and a secondhand news CD, and he would drive them to the station to give to the board op, and then he would drive to the remote. He would not email it in.

And I don't know if he didn't trust the boardop to push play or download it or what, but he knew if I give him a CD and he puts it in the CD player and pushes play, that will work. And he never deviated from it. It was amazing. And I wanted to play just a little bit of his, the last... Can I mention Flooring Direct DFW first? Yep. It's our floor store.

FlooringDirectDefW.com slash dZ. Go there. And Dan Ratcliff is our guy out there. Great dude. I've known him for over 20 years. And he kind of fits right in with our, you know, the Qualison community and just the people that we personally know and we can personally give a text or a call to

and that they will help out the dumb zone listener. He's helped out plenty already. Recently got an email from Ryan, who talked about their experience. You know, one of the big things is they will pick up your furniture. They'll move it for you. They'll put it back. They stay real clean.

You ever had work done in the house? And you're like, talk about Coke and Pepsi? The cans lying around or the McDonald's stuff. Yeah, yeah. No, they're going to clean up. It won't be a disaster zone. They're really going to care about you, and especially if you tell them that you heard about them on the dumb zone.

Schedule your free visit today. They'll come out. They'll bring small, miniature versions of floors. Oh, it's incredible. Yeah. It's really great. Then you can get bigger versions is how the business works. Flooring direct, dfw.com slash dZ, like Dan said.

Tell Dan sent you. Yeah. One thing I forgot to mention was for some reason, I don't know if it was the Cliff Studio or what, but any time the board off would push us up live, the return level would drop. And so the first few times doing the show, that would happen and he would just snap over it. Look at me. And so over time I knew, okay, if I just raised the fader whenever we go live, which meant me sitting there, listening to every commercial break, and then whenever we go live, the music would start, then I'd hear the dip, and I'd raise the fader just instantaneously so he wouldn't do that.

just the little things like I don't know that had I not worked for him I might not have done so when I finally So if you hadn't worked for him Then doing some of our remote you might have been like

Let's just put them outside They'll be fine Honestly yeah Like because now you know our little rules Or just like I knew that you like to play audio Always have an iPod cable ready to go Gordon needed a printer

And the wire It just certain people need Different stuff And it's not a beating It's just what that's what they need to do the show. So I wanted to play you a little bit of his last show. I think this guy could coach our defense. Like he would know, you know, you don't just do zone because you always do zone.

You look at your players. And in these pre-recorded segments, like Jake said, it's hard to just talk into a microphone without any banter or like, what are you talking to? But he had such a like a firm grasp of just like his delivery and his, like I loved his pace. Like he never got in a hurry. He's always confident. And I wish I could do that. I've tried to emulate it. I'm just not that personality type.

But here's kind of what those segments sounded like. And I try to emulate it the best I can with an Argyll stuff, I guess. On this, the last secondhand news, the last time you will hear my voice on the radio. I had 20 stories to date. As amazing as the ones I just told you to air. Wasn't enough time.

There are dark times ahead. There's already too much chaos. And the American economy does not react well to chaos. Monday will be my last day I published news at inside automotive.com. I need to tell you there's only one person left on your side. Come Tuesday morning, Dave Lieber of the Dallas Morning News is that guy. And all of you should support him. because he is doing everything he can to protect you.

He had no issue, like, singling out somebody of this guy sucks. This guy's who you need to listen to. Do not go to this person. He had, seemingly, like, he had no friends and no enemies. Was there always a music bed? Or is that just because he was close? Yeah, this was, yeah. All of them pretty much had a music bed.

These are pre-recorded. Yeah, but talk for 20 minutes and there'd be a music thing under? For secondhand news, yeah, there was that bed. Okay. But for like for classic tracks, what he would do is he would take you through the story of this band writing this song and why, you know, how they came to be and all this kind of stuff. And he would bring in like, you know, here's the song, here's some interviews, here's some other stuff. And the American history one is great because, yeah, he'd bring in actualities and all that kind of stuff. But second-hand news, you know.

Yes. But that's the thing is it's not. It's not a car show. It was a radio. It was a talk show. But in my mind, you didn't know what was going to, and that's why you listened. You had no idea where it was going to go. But it was going to a lot of times be at a car place. We were always at a quick car. That's what was so funny about it.

It would be like an oil change or whatever, and he's just like, so then the Russians lost 20 million people. We're in an empty. It's like kind of this donut like in Saturday morning. So it used to be a field. Like all these quick cars would pop up like in Sanger and Boyd and Friscoe. out like there was just field around and then there was this quick car that people would drive to and yeah he'd tell you he actually bought uh jfk transcripts and so i was like super you know uh conspiracy theory yeah that was in my era so i was like tell me tell me please and he was just not the type to just come out and spill it he would just like maybe you know who do you think would have the most to gain from it the little socratic method and he said do you know do you think america would let anyone else shoot the president

and just felt like he wouldn't give you the answer. He'd make you think about it on your own. I don't, that was just his personality type. So you never got his opinion on, no. Who killed Kennedy? No. And I, like, he'd give me a little,

little droppings every now and then, but, yeah, but here's that ended. For the very last time, and with that, I'm Ed Wallace. That's how every show ended. And with that, I'm Ed Wallace. And then I'll leave you with one of my favorite stories of him, which involves Mike Fisher, the...

Delicious. Cartooner. Cowboys Insider, sir. He does draw a lot, including an image of my wife on the night that I proposed to her with my father-in-law present where he drew my wife. She was not wearing a low-cut shirt, but when he was done with the drawing, she had substantial cleavage. showing.

I was like, that feels like an ad on I did not ask for. Do you still own that? I don't know, man. I have a picture of it. That'd be a great. He tells the story, I think, just... Mike's a big fan of Mike. Yeah.

Yeah, as you'll hear in this story. I think that's important. He told his story as, like, how you perceive yourself or how others perceive you. And it was, I'll make it short, but basically, Ed used to write at the Fort Worth Star Telegram when Mike Fisher was there. This was back in the 90s. Everyone was in the bullpen,

and there's hundreds of people working for the newspapers, and everyone hated Mike Fisher. But Mike Fisher thought everyone loved Mike Fisher, because Mike Fisher loves Mike Fisher. Mike Fisher thinks Mike Fisher's awesome. Some things never change. So when he got fired, it was a big deal. They told him, you know, clean out your desk,

and he starts putting his stuff in the box, and as he's beginning to walk out, people start clapping. Wow. Because they hate Mike Fisher. Good riddons. And Mike finally gets the elevator door, turns around,

and kind of gives a, you're welcome. Because he thought they were clapping because of how great he was. But he said it, jokes on him, whatever, but it's like,

how do you perceive yourself? What's your perception? So I emailed Ed a few years ago and kind of told him basically what I had just said. I would not be the person or broadcaster or professional I am without you. And he said this, and I thought this was very fitting words coming from him. He said, just remember facts matter, but even more important is knowing how the public will react to facts is even more important.

If you want to tell the audience where the facts will take us. Become, as I put it, a master of the obvious. John Adams once said that nothing astonishes a man more than meeting another man with common sense. There's not a lot of that in talk radio, in spite of the on-air hosts that claim that that's all they operate on. Just keep working harder than others, reading more than anyone else, and understand the public will always be mad at you for telling them the truth that they don't want to hear, then buttering them up with bullshit that will never happen. It's tough when they get mad at you, but if you stick around long enough in this business to be proven right,

then and only then will they come to respect you. Ed. It's pretty baller. Yeah. So, Do you think you ever saw the gay medicine? commercial and had any thought on that i don't know no i think it's very cool man whenever i uh whenever i learned that you had that history with them a lot of things made sense to me yeah

he taught me a lot good dude that's awesome man sorry he's dead i guess yeah i probably wouldn't be doing the segment if he was still alive no and like those he kept all of those cds and i like I just beside myself that I never asked him if I could have him. Because I, because somebody, I'd. Or at least digitize them all. Yeah, because that's what I would, I wouldn't take them. I would just digitize them, but somebody, somebody did. Would you be comfortable contacting his family or something?

I thought about it. Oh, you have to. I think I know, I think I know fringe somebody that knows his, his wife. We all have to know somebody who knew him, right? But I would just, yes, I would love to digitize him. Somebody did start recording some of his segments and put it up, and that's what I've been listening to the past few months. But, no, they were really, really, really well done.

I learned a lot from them. But, yeah, I would love to get a hold of those CDs somehow. All right. You want to do some viewer mail? Sure. Are we ready? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Wait a minute. Uncle Hotmail. I have an easy way to give us a sponsor for this, because I have a viewer mail. Who, from James. who said he went to Fairlease. Where is it? Fairlease, you know, the location, it's internet. Fairlease.org.

He says, my girlfriend wanted to trade in her Broncos, so I told her to call Fairlease and mention y'all. Do you see the email there? So he sent us, yeah, that's it. The text thread. Yeah, I just realized. There was a phone number on there? Send him a dick pick.

Read the, let me see the email. then let's see here uh well let me get back to that poor quincy tell us about fair lease uh and then let me find that fair lease is a great place to lease your vehicle because they're backed by the credit union to texas that means you're going to get a better rate it's a community bank um we know other car dealers who are like hey hook us up with fair lease we want to become a certified fair lease vendor uh go to fairlease dot org click on the dumbs or excuse me click on the how did you hear about us and then select Amy Poller's podcast right there where it drops down. They'll bring the car to you.

They'll come pick up your old car. This is as easy as it's going to get. Yeah, I think they should change it to easy lease. Yeah. So here was the, he sent the picture of the text thread between her and the sales guy. She says, my boyfriend is a big fan of the dump zone. Okay. And he told me to tell you.

And the sales guy said, Awesome. We work directly with them. You came to the right place. We'll make sure we take care of you guys in regards to them. Okay, but they definitely know that, you know, I did the Amy Polar thing as a joke. This isn't going to go to somebody else's ledger, is it?

No, I don't think there's a competing show called The Dump Zone. But maybe there is. Lance Forehead has to deal with this all the time. So congrats to them if there is. But no, those guys at Fairleas know us. And they're just, they were being very kind. Realizing that the lady probably just had a typo Because they were like

This is from a lady She's probably not She'll probably have to go ask her man About this lease anyway Yeah So fairlease.orgia We were talking yesterday or whenever The last show about whether or not

Kids with childhood cancer Have their tablet time limit Limited at least one parent Aaron said no I let him go to town. Yeah. Is there bedtime?

Is there... There's just time. You have to wipe your bottom? Well, why would you stop doing that at all? We were talking about baloney. B-L-O-L-O-G-N-A. B-L-O-G-N-A. I've never said...

No, but you spell it that way, right? B-O-L-O-G-N-A. We all know that song, right? Yeah, but I thought it was... B-O-B-A-L-A-L-O-L-O-L-O-L-O-L-O-L-O. My B-O-O-O-O-L-O. It's... I think they use an E-1-1-1-1.

in that, don't they? It's Oscar Meyer. Ah, okay. He weighs in on Bologna, as we will now call it. Belugna. Brent says, next time you're at Central Market, go to the deli, ask for the German Delhi Bologna. Game changer.

So that's all my... Apparently, they have good baloney. Germans? Well, just in general. We think of it as like, oh, that's a trash meat. Yeah. Because we grew up eating. But apparently, they've got...

like rich folk baloney so is it like what baloney brent they call him he sent this email what a brotwurst is to a hot dog yeah that's a good comp right there and the germans are like yeah hot dogs they suck we got a brotwurst yeah so maybe there's a there must be a better one wire will followed up of course because you were calling him wired will he says if anyone actually cares the name came from my first visit to the den dan introduced me to either jake or blake as internet will. I said, Jason is internet, Jason.

I'll be wire will. So that means wire will. Named himself. Wire will. Kind of mamba. Yeah. Didn't Kobe name himself the mamba? Dwayne Wade was making everybody

call him wow for a while, right? Or W-O-W. Did anyone else call LeBron James King before LeBron James did? God, man. Wow. A jersey. King James.

You want some why Hillary lost? Yes. This is a follow-up again. This is from Jess. Such a hot name. It's probably a dude, but I'm going to think. It's a lady. He sees,

remember when we were talking about blue light glasses? We had a picture. Oh, Blake was broadcasting with his blue light glasses the other day. Yeah. And he says, Daniel, blue light glasses are definitely part of why Hillary lost. Oh, man. They were part of a whole ecosystem

of smug social media, quote, My Life is Better Than Yours behavior, included in this ecosystem, standing desks, biohacking podcasts, bulletproof coffee, quote,

I track my sleep phases, TED Talks, Hamilton becoming your personality, craft beer, paper straws and telling literally everyone about the podcast you listen to parentheses maybe a bad example here

WHL is the smugness of every dork who constantly fights for a moral high ground that either doesn't exist or doesn't need to exist more Blake, never punt always take the points from Jess Yeah I mean

My eyes don't hurt after I use those glasses Okay I'm not trying to sell you on a paper straw I'm just trying to look out for my eyesight Once you move to Somalia Yeah If you love it so much More on that tomorrow if you want

Yeah I don't talk whoa Whoa That was the John Rocker stuff I told you about Oh you have John Rocker stuff No I don't I don't totally disagree with Jess I just I would like for Jess He she to list like what isn't

what do you do that's that how do you live not it's such a foreign concept to me to not be self-important that I don't understand like what do you do that's not gay in his mind what what is what is life like what do you do you sit at your desk you don't care how long you sleep like you just stare at a I can tell you one super easy solution to everything you just listed and you just become like an alcoholic like every you don't care about anything Craft beers, it doesn't matter. You're not looking for taste. John submits a Roseanne Tom Tebow.

Tom Tibido. That's a good one. Very Midwest-looking face. Ice, ice. I wonder if anybody's done anything with that, like in these the current climate. He used to whenever, anytime you were watching a game that Tom Tibido was coaching,

his version of like side funneling the pick and roll, you know, he's like a defensive coach, and he was very loud. his version of like I guess top siding and funneling the pick and roll was he called it ice and he was loud as hell and he's a fat guy and he would just be over there

ice ice ice it ice you could hear it every time remember basketball I got a piece of audio for you here this is from I'll tell you it's from later do you guys remember the movie

jingle all the way Arnold? Yes. And? I don't know. Sinbad. Oh. We probably have a copy of it on the shelf at the Game Day Men's Hell Studio.

This listener showed his kids jingle all the way over the Christmas break. Now, this was on Disney Plus. And I had to rewind you hear it a couple times, but he said I had to do this rewind when the parade scene came on at the end. All the kids are stomping booster after Sinbad tells him nobody likes him and shoves him off the front. As the kids are beating him up, I think you hear a little slur. Come on, Myron. You're taking this too far. Hey, I'm not going home without that doubt.

Hey, buddy, this ain't the way we rehearsed it. You know what? Nobody likes you, booster. Oh, wow. Is that what I thought it was? Yeah. Wait, what? So listen, right after, we don't like you.

You don't kid No I mean it's to me When I did rewind it I It's the F slur Okay no I

Did not hear it Okay I'm glad you did though So it doesn't make me Just seem like a guy He's like looking for the world It seems obvious to me The more I hear it

But if not You want to break the tie here Lance I hear it All right Okay. That from Kevin Kelly. Oh. But you have to, this is a, this is a PG movie that is still on Disney Plus.

And you wonder if they wrote that, if they're, to tell a kid, like, just say whatever you'd say if somebody was getting beat up. A little improv here. Yeah. There you go. Garrett says, I would never ask you to listen to an episode of Call Her Daddy. I merely asked to if you would listen to the first 90 seconds of this episode in which the girl who got famous for recording episodes about proper BJ technique is now interviewing former first lady Michelle Obama

The episode played as an ad while I was watching an episode of Winnie the Pooh with my daughter Seriously just listen to the first 90 seconds or 60 IJB for Life from Garrett Dr. Garrett So call her daddy. Did she actually talk about BJs? Or this is a popular?

I tried to play some Kim Kardashian audio from this. Is this a left-leaning podcast? Or it's just a podcast of ladies be talking? Yeah. I mean, I'm sure people say it's left because she thinks you should be able to get an abortion or something. But it's not her lane. It's not like I'm always just yelling about politics, though.

No. It's flabbers me, you know? Oh wait. That's cool. We're actually going to do it. Get to the start. It is your founding father, Alex Cooper. Michelle Obama, welcome to call her daddy.

Hey, Alex. Look at here. Call her daddy. I'm here. You don't even know. Cool set, too. Thank you. It is beyond an honor to be sitting with you today.

How are you doing? I'm doing good. I mean, I'm personally good, individually good, feeling whole. But, you know, I need an email from a listener because I feel like I'm going to kill myself. We're only 30 in. You know, that piece of it seeps in in ways. But I'm happy to be here.

I'm happy you're here. Talk to me about your outfit. How did you pick my outfit? This is a Meredith Coupe original. It's a shirt and a sweater. There is a picture that a lot of people have been showing of me at Princeton. And Meredith Coupe had the idea of up. dating this is the

we can't I dated version all right we went 60 what's the point I'd rather you pee in my mouth that's the dude I can't I can't I think it's just a

informational piece to like this is out there this is getting 800 million views sure and here we are having an impact holding our wiener in our hand so yeah I let me tell you something about that weiner It works.

Gameday. Dot dumzon.com. Gameday. dot dumbzone. I'm going at it all the time. No doubt. I put the Kim Kardashian episode into our little AI transcript thing so I could find some Kanye stuff. And I search for the word like.

Computer shut down. 732 times. It's like an hour. Just like. And I just liked again there. That is an insane rate. Insane rate. Speaking of Kanye.

I hate to go two in a row here, but... No, no. I didn't get a Kanye email. Matt says, please don't tell me that this means we will go back to the hang zone days where we need to hear about what Kanye had for breakfast as part of the 130 news every day.

You played some Kanye audio the other day, right? Yes, and I think this happens a lot. Well, you can finish email. When a classic rock band has one song about a 17-year-old, Jake labels them a pito. But Kanye turns into a Nazi, espousing and endorsing Adolf Hitler, and the dumb zone says nothing except untreated mental illness is very serious. This is great.

Maybe the world needs to stop labeling every great musician and football coach as a genius. It's okay to say when someone is talented in one field and not jump to the genius label, always run on first down, except after a turnover, take a deep shot from Matt. That's a great call. Love the shot, Blay. Yeah. high EPA value there. That email is so dumb.

It reminds me of sports talk radio ticket emails. I haven't gotten one that stupid. We forward that to me because that's the type of one I like to respond to. I'm serious. But that's the thing is we have listeners that are so good at this. I think they know how to send emails that are supposed to seem like dumbass emails. So I never, like I don't know. It's a complicated thing.

Obviously, like I think he's confusing us with. enoos? Because Enu's legitimately like any opportunity for Corby to be like this fucking

slut that married this retard like wait till they kill each other like he really hated Kanye for some reason

but I don't I don't know that we really that's what I'm saying is that I am interested does he have yogurt does he have eggs like what is it

that Kanye eats for breakfast Oh the actual breakfast thing We have some audio from Kim Kardashian on Like the first thing that I would say, no, one caller daddy per year. The first thing I would say is that like Hitler was a genius, right?

Like him saying, you guys got to stop saying this dude's a genius. He's a terrible person. Like just because being super talented in one field and not in others doesn't, that is a genius, right? So it doesn't mean it's not even really like a moral judgment or like is this person. Yeah, I don't know. I just know beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy. he's pretty sweet. Yes, you, you, we spent, I think that's the time we spent on Kanye is what Dan said.

I would like to spend 40 minutes of our two-hour sports talk radio show once a month, doing basically dissect on Kanye albums. And it was fucking awesome. Okay, I was going to say, are you upset with that? No. No, but people would get very pissed off. Like, what are they doing? Why are we, and I feel like this guy's thinking of that.

Great shitty email. Whoa. Let's see here. This is an alert for Clayton. Clayton, are you aware? If I asked you what is my, what is the most legendary, like, canonical fast food item to Jake? What would you say, Clayton? Can I guess?

Yeah. Mexican pizza? It's up there. There's one that maybe only he would know. So what a burger thing. It's a Pizza Hut thing. No, it's a Pizza Hut thing. Jimmy Johnson.

Pizza Hut is fast food? Would you call it? Cheesy Gordita Crunch? No, it is the Triple Decker Pizza, which Jimmy Johnson used to do ads for whenever I was a kid. And it was a pizza on top of a pizza. On top of a pizza. So it's just idiotic.

Oh, you said pizza. Do they have the, is the crust stuffed with cheese? Because I really hate only having 3,000 calories. Where can I put some more? This looks like a pizza cassidia. It's kind of calzoni. It's kind of, it's really a special thing. They have never brought it back.

It was before they had stuff crossed. So it'd be interesting to see if they would try that. Triple decoroni? That's what it's called. For 11 bucks? Man, what a time. Yeah. But you have to think about how, dude, this would feed four people.

You know, it was like getting deep dish or something. And a couple people sent me that they got ads for a new Papa John's double decker. the debuts this weekend. I'm on the wait list. I signed up. Of course. And I'll get an email tomorrow or Saturday. So if anybody else wants to get in on the party,

he's not going to affect me. I'm already in. Hoping the queue. We briefly brought this up, but those suggesting, we were talking about horses a lot. And the horses in Dan's neighborhood, a couple people,

basically with just wait till Dan finds out that you can ride a horse year round. Dan's wife finds out. Like she's got to put the lawnmower up for a few months. Yeah, she'll be over there taking lessons across the street. With all the other ladies. My last one, as we're in the season of college all-star games, we're doing the Shrine Bowl and this and that.

Do you guys remember the blue-gray game? Yes. I remember hearing about, like I've never watched a blue-gray game. It ended in 2001. Is that like a reference to the Civil War? Yes. Okay. So maybe Jess is going to say that this is why Hillary lost that we canceled.

Cancelling the blue gray? Now, I will tell you in 2003 at two and three at my high school, our spring game was still called the blue gray game. And what was how would you determine the rosters? Was it northern cities versus? Yes. It was literally just Union State schools and Confederate. States, not state schools, but in Confederate States. So if you went, if you went to school at Washington State.

You're playing for the Union. Okay, I didn't know, like, because there was no California back then and stuff, right? But I, that's a good question. Yeah, I didn't know. They were even loud in it. Yeah. Okay, but I see the main, the main bit here. The main bit.

Now, when did this become problematic? Do you think it was around the time they started letting black people play football and all of them played in the south. Oh. And now we're... And for the Confederacy. Like, they all played for Team Great. Oh, interesting.

Like, you got people from like a historically black college and all-American having to go play for the Confederate side. It feels slavy. And, uh, yeah. They had to play. Wrought with protests, uh, for decades. I guess they... But I never remember any of that.

I know. Me neither. It's probably one of those deals. You say 01 it ended? 01, but it really started getting heat in the 70s. It stopped in 01, didn't have a game in 02, but it came back in 03. So what happened in 2002? Took a break?

Yeah, I don't know. There's no COVID that we can blame for no war. They couldn't find a sponsor because of the civil rights leaders threatened to boycott. It's a weird thing to sponsor. But it's back in 03, but then now it's gone? Yeah, it's gone Yeah It only came back for one year

Who did they find a sponsor that year I wonder Like who said You know what? F these protests So long time sponsor Kelly Springfield Tire Was pressured

They dropped Woke Woke Woke I don't see you know 3 sponsor Hobby Lobby Yeah

Chick-filet That was sent to me By a guy named Whitey So Do with that what you will A series a lot more even than I thought. Well, the war wasn't a blowout. I mean, everybody fought hard.

Blues did okay. I'll end with one that says, Dear Guy Who Doesn't Lose when it comes to the coups. Dude, that is, the first time, that's the worst word in the sex. Coos? Yeah. Just because it makes you like icky?

Yeah. Yeah. The word ooze is bad. But hey, we didn't make it up. I'd like to call your attention to a very important death anniversary for the wife of Edgar Allen Poe. Virginia Eliza Clem Poe, she succumbed to tuberculosis at the tender age of 24 on January 30th, 1847. So we're... I guess tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah. But today's viewer male. while it's noteworthy that her struggles with illness and death are believed to have affected his poetry and prose where dying young women appear as a frequent motif, it's probably more fun to note that she married Poe when he was 27 and she was 13. But wait, there's more. Well, yeah.

She was also his cousin. That's right. Poe pulled a Jerry Lee Lewis over a century before Jerry Lee Lewis pulled a Jerry Lee Lewis. Hope this is useful for you guys. Like Lee Corso, I'm just trying to help your show from Dan. I just got an email from Jess that says, why Hillary lost is you guys trying to act like it was a big deal that Edgar Allen Poe fucked a fifth career. Once again, I agree with Jess on all these things.

Shut up. There probably wasn't fifth grade back in 1847, right? What did they have? Well, the funny thing is we didn't do, we always do the like, oh, it started when they were 18. They didn't know each other before. You want to do that at 13? It starts getting pretty weird. Yeah, you know, well, he was.

Lay the groundwork at 11. He's a, he's, again, a poet. He's a mad, you know, it's when you're a genius on one level. I mean, he's, he's just a genius. And that's how, like, if he didn't marry her and have. have relations with her? Would we have the Raven today? What would the Baltimore football team be named? That's how we're looking at this. So thank you to his 13-year-old cousin. Edgar Allan Pito.

Yeah. Before we go to break, that's a bet. That's a high. It's not so much a high, but it's one I didn't want to talk after. Yeah, you're right. Count 790 for Metro PCS customers. We got to Norm who's in Miami. Norm, welcome to 790 to take it. Hello. Yeah, Norm, go ahead. Hey guys, I wanted to talk about Barbaro a little bit.

Today just is a really, really tough thing. And, you know, we spent seven months, you know, just, you know, praying for Barbaro and, you know, hearing all this good news and a little bit of bad news, but, you know, then all of a sudden today, you know, I guess over the weekend, we find out that, you know, his leg or his hoof had gotten even worse, and then all of a sudden finding out this morning, you know, the first thing I hear when I wake up on a, your, your sports flash or whatever, is the news that he died. And I almost feel like, you know,

there really hasn't been a whole lot of talk about it since, you know, just the impact, you know, of why are, I just, how can we let this happen? You know, why do we have to, why can they have helped live? It just, it almost doesn't make sense to me, you know, all this wonderful medical technology and we can't even fix a horse's bones just doesn't seem right.

Doesn't seem right. Norm, thank you. I don't know. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. Do you remember when I heard something similar many years later? So today's Barbara Death Day, 2006. But it was at least a decade later. I was listening to Howard Stern.

Didn't they once have to, like, shoot a horse right on the track? Oh, yeah. Yeah, the horse. broke his ankle or something and they had to put him down you know again i don't know anything about horse raising but it seems to me like that's pretty fucking harsh like dude you can't mean in this day and age we can't fix a horse's ankle wow a question for all ages in all times that's that's go you think you can still get through and prank a talk show why not it doesn't seem like i hear as many calls they have a

have your phone number now. Yeah, I guess it depends, yeah. Does your market take calls? Because we should find out. I loved Irvin Joe. Bring that beat back. Yeah, no, I'll do it. I'm ready.

So how can you not fix a horse's bones? Is a question. How can you fix an HVAC system that maybe when out this weekend. It's kind of weird, isn't it?

That snow and all that kind of stuff. What was the first? It was Saturday morning? Yeah. Well, it rained Friday evening, which then froze Saturday night or Friday night. And then even today, the following Thursday, like my wife's school, got canceled. Many cases. She thought, she went to bed thinking she was going today.

And then she got up and got ready and showered and everything. and then she tells me great news. Ooh, yeah, what's that? She said, I don't have to go into work today. And I said, that is just the best news I've ever done. And you're like, well, I haven't showered in four days. CommunityDFW.com. Hit up, Travis.

They were working hard for you over the weekend. I was talking to you this weekend, and you were like, dude, the mini-split thing is real. You said it was so hot in your... It was the only... I mean, I need to get them to come out and take a look at the... rest of my house. Travis and I were talking about that too, just to clean up whatever the contractors did. But the part that the community did was the warmest part of my home. If you've got any sort of issues, you can call Travis. He'll have someone on it very, very

quickly. Caller text, 469, 667-7-290 CommunityDFW.com. Make sure to take advantage of the wife being all dressed up for work. Well, I had to shower then. That's true. Are we up to news time? What are we doing? Here's Jane with the dumb zone news. News, news, news, news, news, news, news, news, news, news, news, news, news, news, news, news, news. Maybe this is from the same file as they just know how to deal with it,

but I think that's like a lot of infrastructure and processes in place in those northern and eastern cities. But I'm just wondering, are there thousands of deaths a year in snow cities from people? people carrying their child and slipping on the ice. Why did that happen here? No, but it almost happened to me about five times. Because if the only reason you're carrying them, they can't walk on it. So now one of us is worse at walking than they were before they picked up a child, because now I'm holding the child.

And it almost happened to me, you know, I was very careful about it, but it's like you start to slip and you've got a kid in your hands on the street or in a driveway. I just, I don't know. I feel like I was a couple inches away from Lance Forehead hosting the show today multiple times. Well, you can't host a show if... I die. Oh, I thought you meant you drop your kid and your kid would die. I thought you could power through that, right?

Yeah, I mean, the funeral wouldn't be the next day. Yeah. And I'm not going to be the one setting all that up. We do have a couple of snow-related stories. This one from Texarkana. It's a fun little criminal story. There was a robbery at a convenience store. This is like all of Texas pretty much was dealing with the storm.

So there's huge swaths of the state that are covered in snow and ice. Boy, and somebody's like, you know what, this is the time. Yeah. And I kind of like it. You know, they're closed down. There was a, do you guys know Stoner's Pizza in Denton by any chance? You haven't been up there. I'm familiar with it.

It got broken in two during the freeze as well. But this one was notable because of the photo that I'm going to put on the screen here that the Texarkana police department shared. Very easy to catch the person in the snow. They simply followed the only footprints. No way. From the convenience store that night. There was no one walking.

There was a couple of days our street had no tracks on it at all. Yeah. So they found an 18-year-old. And then it broke. Right? Right. It's calcified. Yeah.

But a little fossil of his crime behind him. That's excellent. You live in Texarkana. It's not like it's going to be. It's not a huge city. So that's how they caught him. Fantastic. Another visual aid for this story as a McKinney ISD athletic trainer.

Lyons. Was arrested. And I do believe this was at, you know what? It might be McKinney North, Blake. Is that a high school? Yes. Don't know them. There's the phone.

photo of Lindsay Post, she, and I did have to confirm that was a she. I had just seen the photo first. No. She felony charges for sexual assault of a child in an improper relationship. Now when I first

saw that photo, I thought that was a linebacker who has a lot of your linebacker type whites have ponytails. And I thought, okay. Yeah. The first

comment on the news story that I saw was they should arrest the kid too based on the appearance, I think, of Lindsay Post. So yeah, this is a this was a trainer. The athletic trainer, the head athletic trainer. That makes sense, right?

Yeah. Oh, she was the head trainer. So what was she supposed to do? She had just been demoted, or excuse me, promoted from a handjob trainer to a more coveted role. And now you're just calling it assault? Did you guys when you were in

well, I don't know how much high school sports any of you guys actually played, but I thought, and I was definitely not despite like the bravado of the sex game or whatever. I was not, especially from the football set, if we had a female trainer, it wasn't for me. There were guys who were like studs, right?

But I definitely thought that was whore-coded. I was like, come the fuck. Okay. You just want to be out here with all of us in tiny, tiny shorts and a tank top, just giving us water while all of us are out here, strapping young men. It's tough. It made me way happier when we had like a fat guy as our trainer. Yeah, women want to be a part of sports, you know.

So, well, how can you be? I know. Well, I know everything about the game. I could probably be a coach. You are not going to coach men. We will allow you to help them heal. But, yeah, now these girls are in the tea that's flowing. Insane.

And it's not just the students either and the players. The coaches are 29. Yeah. And so they're seeing a 16-year-old over here. He's just constantly covered in water. It's a bad mix. It's a very bad mix. It's no one's fault.

That's our general position. position. It's no one's fault. It's society. I have a story. I was going back through, this is a good thing about keeping notes. You can every few weeks do a sweep of a, what did I miss? And there was a story over the break that I missed that I wanted to tell you guys about. It is about a Russian billionaire, an oligarch. He founded the app Telegram, which is either how you send nudes or how you coordinate, like protests or it's like a, app that's safe. Like if you want to send stuff to a reporter,

they're like, send it to my telegram or my signal. So billions and billions of dollars, he's 41, Pavel Doroav is. He is back in the news because he is offering as part of his fortune to cover the full cost of IVF treatment for basically any woman under 37 who wants to use his sperm. Now, he will have some Jared Sandler-style cutoffs. You know, he's not just giving it to anybody, but it's pretty much anybody. Which would seem like a, boy, that's a crazy move, until you learn that he's already got over 100 kids through IVF. Are they in the same geographical?

He doesn't have any relationship with these children, but he does. No, but I mean, they eventually could. I didn't read the entire Isn't that the doctor sex thing? Remember that HBO thing about the Yeah The guy was using his own guy Yeah

Yeah and they A lot of people lived in the same town And had dated each other And that's a good point I don't know Um Then they come out Looking even more Russian

But he does say that he'll be giving He's worth 17 billion That anybody who can prove DNA To him That they'll get their part of his fortune. Jeez. So,

why did he start? Can I check or? Yeah, I think you're probably out. Yeah, it's 2010. He agreed to help a friend who was struggling to have children, but after that, he learned, apparently, that there's a global shortage of cum. Doesn't Elon do something like this? He does.

He's done it quite often. And by quite often, I mean maybe to a tenth of the scale of this. Okay. So imagine if Bezos was just flaunting his supersede, and you were still supposed to talk to him like, you know, here it is with the president. Like, it's crazy. I mean, even Elon, the fact that Elon was that close to everything is nuts. Just as far as like a guy who's way outside of convention.

But yeah, Epstein wanted, this is not uncommon either. I'll give you another update from the My wife Reid's category. It was either Post or Kellogg, but one of the two of them had very H.L. Hunt-like tendencies. And all of those rich guys from back then were really into, like, transhumanism, basically eugenics, you know? Like they all believed that they could, like, provide a master race. And this is the same thing 100 years later.

But, yeah, the, what I can't remember which one. it is. I'm sure it comes up on birthdays, but one of the two of them invented like peanut butter and corn flakes and whatever else and had some wild ideas about the future of humanity. So I think it's almost impossible to avoid when you get that much money. You're like, what if there were just more awesome dudes like me? Like I'm really awesome. I'd love to increase the chances of more awesome. What if it was up for auction, LeBron was selling sperm. How many women would want to have, like, you don't get any his fortune.

Well, okay, I like this. But it's just that you would have that DNA. Yeah, you're playing the lottery a little bit. Like, you don't get his fortune now. Well, any of it's playing the lottery. Well, right. Yeah. But his, you would have to assume has more value.

Yeah, a lot better than. Right, which would be why there's value. Dan sperm and you got LeBron's sperm here. That's going to be an important. part of it. In this Black Mirror episode, I imagine a full marketplace, and this is just like Top Shot. It's the new Top Shot, where you can bid on various athletes, various individuals. It's like cameo. So I don't think funny transcends. You wouldn't get Seinfeld's sperm. But she writes for a comedy show, so I thought she was hilarious.

What are you talking about? I think she actually writes for CBS News, but like Hayley, Seinfeld does comment. comedy. So I was led to believe it was just... That's Seinfeld's daughter? Not the one that's married to Josh Allen. I'm saying Jerry Seinfeld. Yes, Jerry Seinfeld's daughter writes for some... Now she writes for CBS News, but she was writing comedy.

What do you say? Really? Yes. Okay. I thought he wouldn't have a daughter that's that old. No, yeah. I mean, do you just mean because he was nailing 18-year-olds when he was 50? No, he's got a daughter who's... He's probably 63. Yeah, but I thought he was like an old dad like Letterman.

That's why I'm looking at you weird. I didn't know he had an adult daughter. Jerry Seinfeld's daughter definitely works for the... If she tried stand-up, she would probably be terrible. Correct. I was just doing a joke about how, like, you know, what's his name from the... Judd Apatow's daughter is now like... Right, obviously.

Obviously, oh, wow. Somehow in media. But in general, you're right. Athletics, maybe brain. Athletics, I'm thinking, brain, and I'm thinking, musical talent too. Like how does John Lennon's kid also like grade it? Like I have zero musical talent

and I don't blame myself at all. I blame my ancestry as well as you know. But I like the idea here. I really do. I mean this would be a new NIL type opportunity. You know you're not good enough for the league but maybe you've got $10,000 of jizz. Is there a way

to fuse that jizz with LeBron's sperm with your sperm? And then that is what impregnates the lady. I mean, that's how Steve Novielo and his husband had a, have a child that's genetically both theirs, right? Yeah, I thought it was just kind of a, we're not sure whose it is, but it was all in there. But I'm not, again, I was barely paying attention when Steve Noviolo was talking to us. I actually have another story today about this same thing.

It happened in Palm Beach. There's a couple identified only as John and Jane Doe who underwent IVF treatment. and there's not a lot of details on how they develop this suspicion other than they soon noticed that the child did not resemble either of them but like the lawsuit was filed in March of 2025

let me say that again the birth happened in the summer and then so by December when they filed the lawsuit So about five, six months, they determined this baby doesn't look like us. And it turns out it wasn't. They implanted the wrong embryo.

Now they're suing the doctor. They're suing the hospital. I don't think it's six months I knew for sure. Like, you have an eight-month-old. Does he definitely look like you or your wife right now? No, he doesn't look like either of us. It's pretty weird. My daughter doesn't really look like either of us at all.

And we did use IVF. So, like, that's why I've always been like when, you guys are making a joke about like the milkman. You don't think she looks a little bit like your wife? She looks kind of like my wife's dad a little bit, but my daughter still kind of has blonde hair and green eyes. Like I look either Serbian or, you know, Mexican. She doesn't look, she has, her skin is very light.

So this is kind of like a, if you, I was worried about the group's call because I was playing it, but I didn't listen to the whole thing through this morning. But, you know, it's only a minute and a half, but I was like, Like, you know, but what if that wasn't the right cut and it ended weird or something? Ed Wallace could never. You know, that's the thing. Do they, after birthing it, like, you know what, let's just check our work. We'll check Jake's DNA and her DNA and let's just make sure it's with the kid.

Let's just make sure that's before we send them home. That should come included in the cost and without you having to ask because if you ask, you feel like an asshole. Right. Like, hey, could you just, baby doesn't look like me at all. and then they're like, oh, God, damn, you're right. And, like, it shouldn't be that way because if you actually, if it was a natural birth, not natural birth, but natural, quote-unquote, natural pregnancy, there's always the, like, I don't know, was that, what was she doing? But with my way, I always assumed kind of like, well, no, I mean, I was there, I saw it shoot in. But it could have been somebody else's.

You've heard about a bullets mixed up baby in the hospital. Oh, yeah. That's actually happened. What would you do if that was the case and you found out when she was 10? Yeah, I think you, these people are keeping the kid, you know. What are you going to do? Yeah, would you trade Nora if you found out? They mixed her up?

If you told me like three or four months, the first thing I would have said would have been, is there another one? Like, did the other one get born? What if you told her three or four months and your wife's breastfeeding and stuff? Well, that's why I'm saying. My question would be... And you did skin to skin, I right. It's trash. But wouldn't you ask, like, did you guys give ours to them?

Because then you could just switch kids. What? If you were like, okay, we realized you gave someone else's to us. At four months? Yeah, like, did you give ours to someone else? Because also, I think there's a chance the biological parents of that child who are in 50K, they might want it. Yeah. And you might have a chance to just cut your losses here.

It's just like firing D'Miko Rions after one year. Not D'Miko Rines, but the Patriots fire on my blanket on his name. Oh, Jared Mayo. Jared Miao. Like, look, you could get out of this. Give them their kid. Work it out. Did you have...

I wanted to make a misogynistic comment because we were doing business Wednesday yesterday. Thanks, Sean. And we saw it. that we were looking at some of the numbers, like over 90% of our listeners are male. So I think it would fly if I had just mentioned. Did you guys know Ilhan Omar is hot? Took her getting blasted in the face with liquid.

Well, I never really saw her. I've seen her wearing like a thing over her head or something. She always wears. Did she had it on last night? Yeah, but like then I saw one, like, she has a, she did not do the punky booster. Like whatever punky got rid of. Okay.

Did you guys know? No, I don't know that I really knew. Like, I never knew until you told me who's the old lady? Nancy Pelosi. You told me a couple years ago about her and I was like, whoa, there we go. Like, how do we not know this for all these years? Incredible. Milker of the house.

Yeah, Ilhan Omar, I've always thought she was. Is that a thing people have said? No. Oh, okay. Very nice. Probably because it's not funny. I've always thought Ilha and Omar was pretty. And I'm loving it.

And it does go back to TC's thing. You know, during COVID, TC started one of the podcasts he and I do just by saying, I think the Muslims have it right. The less you can see of their face, the more your mind can wander. Maybe they're actually really hot in the other 70% of their face. If you just cover the whole thing up. Yeah, you don't know. You don't know. You're just guessing.

Like, I don't know. And it's probably good for the curve. but I don't know, she can't marry you, she already married her brother or something. I don't know. And our final story is that... You should hear about Edgar Allan Poe. Sorry, Jess. Twin Peaks, Nico Harrison's favorite restaurant, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

So, like with all these, it doesn't mean that they're all closing down. It just means they're... What do they call it? Reorganize? shuffling our assets to maximize stakeholder insets, interests. That's all it is.

It's all seems so scummy. Yeah, it's... Like you hear about bankruptcy, that's the worst thing ever, right? Like, if you went into bankruptcy, I would say that's terrible. Let's get a go-fund me for Jake. Dude, this is a big part of my...

I love my mom a lot. She listens, whatever. But she had some diatribe she would go on when I was a kid. I think it was as the world she saw it. Reagan Republican, very self-made, owned her own business from like... Bootsrap.

17, as much as anybody I've ever met in my life. So she was, you know, welfare queen was a word that we heard a lot. And also, enough of my aunts and uncles had declared bankruptcy that I knew that that was like a get out of jail free card to the extent

that if your credit's going to be bad, but like if you owe people money, you don't have to pay it. Because she had been subject to that many times. Other people. Other people declaring bankruptcy. You know, it was just another sign of,

most of it was just how are we getting screwed? But I developed early on the idea that bankruptcy was actually just how scammers stay ahead. And in the case of Twin Peaks, you know, they're public. They went public about a year ago, which is insane,

to imagine owning stocks of Twin Peaks. Like somehow GameStop seems more respectable than that. But of course it started here in Louisville. I might have been... 20 years ago. This guy's name is Randy DeWitt found of the first Twin Peaks. I might have been sitting at a table with that guy. I would not be surprised at that at all.

I remember being at the Louisville Twin Peaks. It was early, you know, it was the ticket with a sales guy. guy and it was potential, you know, advertiser coming up or something. And that's, you know, Hooters was in its heyday. And they were saying, like, they did big studies and they determined, like, the Breastron area was the one. It was like when there was a ticket, but no other sports stations.

Like, boy, this is a large group of people that would like this kind of, you know, guy talk, sports talk, or whatever. That's why two other stations then pop up. Right. And even 105.3, I guess. then became or whatever. The point is they had done research like the biggest area for growth is the restaurant.

And then we got Twin Peaks. We got that one that Ludwig owns. Remember where they wear basically strings? Oh, we went there, didn't we? Yeah. What was it? It's frisco by the ballpark. Knockouts.

Is that, was that it? I remember going to knockouts and being like, oh my God. Like they were almost naked. Yeah. Like, I feel like there's... But it wasn't his redneck heaven. Coo's in my waffle fries. Oh.

I thought you said not to say that word. Yeah, but now it's on my mind. And that's all I was thinking that day is, like, their genitals are too close to the food. Yeah. Like, Hooters could never. I think we did a guy's night out there. Yeah, I think you're right. I remember hearing, like, exactly what you're saying, that one of the guys who started our group,

I don't think it was Twin Peaks, but it was like tilted kilt or something. Same deal. they might even have been they were not even in like they were just investors you know and they might even have even have been like i don't know some line of work where you're like it would not seem like this guy's going to buy into restaurants but the whole market just indicated this is the last vestige of money yeah yeah yeah there's enough pizza places it was like a dentist or something yeah so let's get into this yeah and they i guess they did pretty well if they went public yeah well and then they went bankrupt

I do wonder the real American dream I wonder how much just porn has like killed their it absolutely has had an effect

like should you should you have a rub one out before you decide to go to tilted kilt and see if you still think it's a good idea I do that for a lot of things

in life all right there's your news the gums Don't new news. Like and subscribe. That was a good news. So we have a new sponsor.

And actually, it's great. I'm going to put my wife bit to the test here. Nice. Because I'm getting her a Lola blanket for Valentine's Day. That's the move. Yeah. That is the move. My wife actually put me on to these some time ago,

These are super, super soft, world's number one blanket crafted with ultra-soft, luxury faux fur, very warm. Would have been nice if you had it over the freezes last few days.

Happy birthday. Thank you. Did any roll in during the program? I sent you one. You sent me one. Well, happy birthday, Blake. When is your birthday? May.

You'll be gone, so hopefully it's not mentioned on the show. You don't like birthdays? So if I get an email from you, it definitely... you're not planning Blake's birthday party? No. I'm still kind of like 5% worried. So just let me know if you get an email from me. Because I don't think I did.

Oh, I will let you know. And I think the reason that it worked out for me is that I think I have to type in my password on my phone. And I don't know it. So I would have to look it up. So I think that's saved me. I don't have an email from you, but I have one from Lola Blankets that says my shipment is on the way. Nice. I'm not kidding.

I order one for, uh, Well, we'll see. If I like it too much, I might just keep it for myself. Sure. Tell her I forgot about Valentine's Day. Another mop. Every day is Valentine's Day with you, honey. Oh, what was I doing?

I was looking for a viewer male birthday. We have dear cumshot commander. I'm writing to wish myself a LeBron's first and second number on the Lakers' birthday. For my birthday, I want to put the call out for any D.E. to supply me with a $5 Taco Bell gift card. That is a much more reasonable request

than sweet tickets for you and three of your friends to a Stars game. Shout out to the DZDFFL. Can't wait to see the boys on the stream in March. What is that? Some

listeners got together and made a fantasy football league. I think there's 12 of them. The winner got a sit-in. The loser has to wear a costume. Yeah. And the loser is potato man who gave me all the fries and potatoes, and he's a big boy, so I'm excited to see what they come off. I think he's coming to the sit-in, too.

Wearing his costume? I hope. Leaders, Blake's grandpa getting pegged, future UFC broadcast with Romo Nansen Rogan, the Uber Eats driver that killed Clayton's neighbor Keep cranking and spanking and never punt from Nathan Parker Yesterday I got an email that said Greetings Conquistador of the coin purse Today is the birthday my good friend and great D.F. Mariola.

Ah. Her leaders are Bud Dwyer's Manila envelope and wide stances at urinals. Punt whenever it will infuriate Brad and Babe from self-proclaimed good dude Wes. I think they're all for punts all the time. That's Flag Football Wes, right? Yeah, BBB.

Dude, I have love... Okay. Do you guys think that there's anything to this? Like, it's not... We were talking yesterday about, like... We talk about it a lot. Like, you want to do a bit? Is it a ticket bit?

Like, then play... playing, you guys playing the girls in basketball, great bit. TC out there doing interviews at practice, the whole thing was just awesome. I really, I did play by, not play by play, but like sideline for three or four of those BVB games. And I would like to, I would like to see my male team play the best of them and see what would happen. Why, you think you'd get beat? I don't know. And that's why the ticket in the girls was interesting.

I don't know. They are very good, but I just wonder. I wonder if it's just too much because it's dudes. Maybe a charity angle. And I have Uncle Hotmail, no other names for soon to be obvious reasons. Can I get a birthday shout-out in a name rating for my seven-year-old? August Clayton Lee Reynolds. Jesus, that's hard as hell.

Why are they four? Doesn't matter. They're all good. That means great? Yeah. I mean, you come out of the gate with August. I really, I wanted to name. Augustus was on my list. Did she punted that one? You're not a lonesome dove fan, like me.

We call him Augie. He has both his grandfather's middle names. His leaders are the Cirque intro song and Nora. It would probably make his day to hear his name on the radio. No help. Parties Sunday in the town of the cow, but I doubt Blake wants to drive that far. This Sunday?

Where's my invite? Yeah, hit me too. Brandon, F-W-A-D-P-1 on the socials. Yeah, okay. So wait, hit you too? Are you just do whatever Blake does? Yeah. I've been invited to a couple now.

So you're looking to take your kid to a... Yes, possibly. It's a great time. Now the football's over. I know Blake's got a lot going on. I feel like it would be easier for him with two kids if I was there with one kid. I just want to help out. That's just who you are.

Let's see what's going on here. Oh, wait, gosh, I'm going to get an ad. I'm not going to do it. Come on. You've got to pay on those sites to make the ads go away, man. This is just YouTube. You want me to pay for YouTube premium? No.

It sounded like a lady yelling. I was trying to fire up adult site. We know he already pays for that. That's true. I wanted to listen to a little more Michelle Obama, but be fast forward. No. Game Day Men's Health presents. Game Day.com.

On this day.com. My wife. My wife. That's penis. And today is Thursday, January 29th. On this date in 2007, Kentucky Derby. winner Barbara euthanized. Just two days after the latest surgical procedure was unable to help the

Colt fully recover from catastrophic injuries suffered during the Preakness States stakes the previous May. Oh, I didn't realize it was that long after. Oh, I have a visual for this one if you want to see it on the YouTube. On this day in 2024, Elmo posted, Elmo is just checking in. How is everybody doing on Twitter? and it got, you know, just, it was kind of like one of the tweets of the month type thing, you know, with the hilarious replies. Like when James Winston asked me anything type thing.

Yeah. Those things are great. Now, do you think that was written by the pedophile that was the voice of Elmo for all those years, Kevin Clash? And maybe that's why, or is it? Was he local? Wait, that wasn't a local show. Barney was local. Yeah.

Are you familiar with Barney, Blake? Oh, that's right, and his. It had to be. I was too old for Barney. Did you ever get to meet Barney? No. I know a bunch of kids who did. That was a big badge of honor.

You ever go see Barney Clayton? That seems like something you might have done. I worked where it was shot. Oh. We had half the props in the back. See Barney out front with a black and mild in between tapings. And a famous wedding on this date. perfect person in 1984.

Linda Carter at the age of 33 married Robert Altman. He was 58. Did that work out? It did. They were married until he died in 2021. God, she's a good woman, too. Loyal. That's insane.

And today is January 29th, this day in Dumb Zone history. God, she's 74. Really? I actually have a lot if you don't mind. When are you going to put your foot down, Dan? And mind. When am I going to start acting like Ed Wallace would? I know.

You should hold yourself to a higher standard. How you do anything is how you do everything. Put a video in there, Clayton, the Kelsey one, because we played that on this day last year, just the failed TV show that was Jason Kelsey that only ran for a week. Maybe three. Three weeks? Maybe three.

while he does that. Dan had a theory that the Giants kept dayball so they could hire Belichick this year and draft Arch Manning. And Arch and Belichick are not having the greatest time. Arch is 100% in the best place. And he's still going to be the number one overall pick at another year. And he's going to be the favorite. His life is awesome, dude.

He bawled out. Yeah, and last year, at the beginning of the year, there was a lot of talk about what he'll probably, will he go pro? I don't know, the mannings wanted him to stay for four years and all this, blah, blah, blah. I never bought it, but the fact that he's doing it, and you know how it is when you go to a game in person, but watching him at the A&M game,

and also you kind of can tell this from, like, social media, but that is a team that loves their quarterback, for sure. Like he's not, when Chris Sims was, for example, Texas's quarterback, It was very apparent watching the games in person. Like, nobody was viving with Chris Sims. Arch doesn't have that feel. Should we have mentioned the Jim Schwartz story today at all?

Do you have anything on that, Dan, from your mom? Oh, yeah. Okay. You want to get into Browns tomorrow? Yeah. Yeah, no, that's... He's always been an underrated funny coach to me. There's...

Real shithead of a guy. And I guess he stormed out of the building yesterday. Yeah, no, I'd like to get into it, sure. Okay. We seem to... A day of Cleveland sports tomorrow was Schwartz and John Rocker. Maybe we'll do more on Shador. Yes.

Was John Rocker? I was going to say Brave, but I could be wrong. Was he not? I also... Yeah, they don't all look the same to me. He was a Ranger. I remember him being a Ranger. You just think Brave Indian same thing?

No, they're different types of people. That's terrible. Okay, we played a Who Wants to be a Millionaire moment on this day last year. What? Three year brave? One year Indians.

Thank you, yes. And he only had like a six-year career, so triple play 99 comes in handy. Go ahead. Dan, what is the NFC championship trophy called? Who? Okay, we got the Lamar Hunt.

Oh, I think I know. Is George Hallis too long ago? Does this have to be somebody that's more in the Lamar Hunt era, in fact. Mine might be too recent, but I have a guess. Can't be Art Rooney. He's an F.C. team. You know what? I'm just going to go, George Hallis.

I'm going to say Eddie DeBardolo. No way. You guys are a criminal. The winners of the NFC get the George Hallis trophy. Oh, that's a good one. Eddie DeBardolo is a criminal? Yeah, man. I don't know that much about him.

Other than they used... Youngstown mob ties. But he owned the 49ers, didn't he? Well, that's odd that a criminal would be able to... Well, yeah, I mean, but you're focusing on that part of it, not on the... Like, all of them have criminal active backgrounds, but they... We don't talk about that part. You're just like, he was the owner of such and such, and they were a...

Plus, he was the owner in the 80s? Like, yeah, you just... You're not going to give that to him. Is it Kelsey Video Copyright? Should I have known better? It's not even... Here, we'll reenact me. It's not, it's not.

We'll reenact me. You beat Kelsey. Uh, fucking love you, babe. Thanks, babe. My parents are here. As you can see, my mom. I fucking love them. I let them fucking cuss in front of us, too, like I let our fucking kids.

That was the lady, his wife was saying that. Yeah. Uh, on this day in 2024, a guy at Jake's flag football game got on to Jake for cursing in front of his kids, but then he got in the car and went home by himself. That was a big day. Yeah. He didn't have, I don't know, maybe if you're, did you leave the kids there? Like, are you just a guy who generally is like I have kids, don't yell it?

They could be around. It was weird. That stuck with you for a little bit. Yeah. Might have been a drop-off point. Yeah. And probably, Rexports is probably a lot more guys drop off points than. I've driven to West Texas in my baseball uniform one or two times.

It's a big meet up. Why Hillary lost from the year 2021? on this day. Amanda Gorman, a poetry superstar, will read a poem before the Super Bowl. Oh, yeah. God, bless, man.

That's what we were doing. When did they start, don't they do poems at the inauguration to? Or they did? I think they did for one of them. Yeah. I don't know that they did for two of the other ones. He used to get Stallone up there.

Who's its unfolding? All crumpled up paper he had in his back pocket. And then final thing, Nick Seriani was hired on this day, and we played this from his press conference. Next thing that's very important to me is that we build a smart football team, that we have a smart football team here. The first part of that, the first part of being smart is knowing what to do. We're going to have systems in place that are easier to learn.

Because when we can put that, when we can learn our system, and we can get good at our system, then our talent can take over. Less thinking equals talent take over, but we need to have systems in place, and we will have systems in place to do so. And we're just sitting there railing on him. This guy sucks. He can't even talk. The Eagles are going to be garbage.

And here they are? Yeah. Yeah. You don't want them at the podium. So now everybody is taking it on individually, right? So what do I do with my girls? I'm trying to make. make sure that they feel seen in their home.

Oh, feeling seen. We just lost Ohio again. And I'm trying to find them up more activities that make. Feeling seen. I have it all together on a hard drive and on my laptop and like I upload it. Like so I'm, what I do on my plane rides and my spare time is I have folders of like every person in my life that's ever been in my life, every family member. everything that ever I like photo that goes in my phone I upload them so I just like spend time so each kid has every single year in picture form video form like every video that I've ever taken

every event I every you know every ex-boyfriend everything every everything because you kind of have everything Kim every video you've ever made only like why are you alone it's like don't do that you know Sounds so good when you say it. Go to the coffee shop. You know, don't order the thing in. Just get out, right? Go to the gym, you know. All right, let's start just listening to that podcast and replaying it.

I wish that was copywritten. Other birthdays we have Maxie Kleber is 34. Loved him. Absolutely loved him. It's certainly not as bad, but it's just, Shocking to not see him in a Mavs uniform. Yeah. David LaFleur is 52.

Mickey. Is that 50% of the offense? Mike Lucky. It was Mike Lucky. Mike Lucky was the tight end. Yeah. Xavier Leggett is 25. Not very good.

No. Born in the wrong era. Well, the right one relative to some other areas. But the wrong era for a receiver of that time. What kind of a receiver is he? He's a big-bodied X. I mean, we don't let that. There's nobody who looks like T.O. in the NFL anymore.

But why? Because the- Why is that not working? This could go for a long time, but it's because you're using the whole field now and the way that offenses are designed, in my opinion, you know, getting horizontal, shorter breaks. That's way easier to do with a smaller body. It's very few guys that are able to run.

I mean, look what everybody looks like now. So everybody looks like CD, J.S.N. Jamar and Justin Jefferson are bigger, but they're not like T.O. B. You know what I mean? It's not big guy. You don't have Dave. Even Des anymore because nobody's just throwing back shoulder fades like that. You're actually cutting and getting open more now. You would think there'd be a room for like just a mix, though. Yeah. Well, I mean, they're called tight ends.

Yeah. And that's, you know, Jake Ferguson has the body that, A receiver, an actual receiver might have had 15, 20 years ago. Kai Fairbarn is 32. Jimmy. Yeah. I think so. You guys have got to see the tweet.

It's very funny. Jose Abraeu is 39. Greg Luce Anus is 66. There we are. His name is really Greg Luganus, but he's gay. And then if you just kind of... A little word play. Would you call that word play or just...

I would. Domina Koshik is 61. Sabres. Oprah Winfrey is 72. Adrenicrom. Heather Graham is 56. Hot. Just roll a girl.

You can't top that. Sarah Gilbert is 51. Comedian? The kid on Roseanne. Oh, yeah. She also then was on some other shows later. Roseanne when they did Roseanne, yeah. Riff Raff is 44.

Man. Dan. Pretty sure he has. some cancelable stuff, but one of the most fun concerts I've ever been to in my life. Real name is Horst Simco. Yes.

He's from Houston Galveston Way. Lisa Emery is 74. That's Darlene Snell in Ozark. Terry McKinney, excuse me, Terry Kinney is 72. He is Tim McManus in Oz.

He was also married to Catherine Irby, who was on one of those law and orders, and I asked her about being stalked. Do you remember her? Yeah, I do. It was weird. I remember. I think she's in, like, necessary roughness or something, too.

No, D2. She was into me, though. Okay. Tom Selleck is 81. If I could be stalked by anyone. Adam Lambert is 44. He was on Idol. What are we doing here, birthday of the day?

Her birth name is karma. And she later, they let her pick her own name, and she chose Brinley. That sucks. And she has, yes, 822,000 subscribers. What's going on here? What's going on here? What are we doing here? That's my reaction to this entire YouTube page.

I'm confused. I feel like I would be okay with the government getting involved. Do you know what I mean? Five or six? Yeah. I don't know. And our dumb zone birthday of the day, Rachel Yucatel. Wow.

Wow. Is 50? She was an OG for Tiger for a long time? Yeah, but she was like holding it down for him for a long time. She was like booking him other girls and setting him up, showing him the ways of Vegas. So how do you know you know her as she was Tiger's main side piece? Yeah.

Flag us? I think it's an original. I know, but then you put your own original on YouTube and all of a sudden now you want credit. Fuck all this. God, this sucks. It's just a stupid way to have to create anything. Misunderstood.

I meant to hit that one I'm really happy with it Dude I saw one the other day I mean that would have been a good answer Totally fine with it other than Lance It's Carrie Champion and Jamel Hill And their new podcast It's called flagrant and funny

Like is there any chance that something is funny If you put it If you're like This is funny We'll put it in the title The answer is no back to you Don't you Do you know I have a bumper sticker with my face on it from Dayton?

I don't. I need Raymond to remake it. Yeah. I'd love to get those in a mass production. I can find them. I'll find them for our next video. Don't you kind of want to hear the intro? Yeah, go ahead.

Do you want me to finish my bumper? I made the transition out of the military, but I didn't want to stop. Let's talk about Immigration Nation. How did that come about? Okay. I made friends in ice Oh, so she does the preview thing You are behind the cameras

Shaul Schwartz and his white conservation Yeah, I can't do it Well, the bumper stick In Dayton They were like, we're going to give you some promotion We're going to pay for We're going to buy bumper stickers

1,000, 2,000, whatever, give them out Because I was on from whatever, 3 to 7 or something, 3 to 6 It'll say Dan McDowell show W-HIO radio and they're like, what do you want on it? And so I would do the never listen bit. I did that then.

All our guests, you know, hey, I'm Victoria Jackson. I never listened to the Dan McDowell show on WHAO. Okay. And I said, there it is, I never listen. I never listened to Dan McDowell. Whatever. It's negative. So they ended up putting live, local, funny.

Dude, that for you, that rules. Like dressing you up in a little school outfit and parading him out. Look, he's funny. Be funny. Be funny. Funny guy. God, that sucks. Just the look on your face.

So her first episode... Imagine me just arguing with him. Yeah, oh yeah. You can't. You can't. It's not good to do that. Wallace. First episode of Misunderstood had a TMZ reporter.

Then it's Dr. Drew on Love Addiction. Then Perez Hilton. That's a name I haven't heard you. Racher Rachel Chats. Drew or Perez. Perez. And then her latest episode is documenting ICE agents and detention centers. Oh, wow.

She knows how, hey, she doesn't have to find a lane. Unbelievable. Wow. Rachel Yuchitel. The one before it, the truth about stem cells. Ghaly, this sounds like a failed blaze media podcast. January 15th, little pedophile on the prairie. Okay.

Why not? Awesome. Born on this day now dead, I give you Rob Barronis. A kicker. A kicker had an NFL record, eight field goals in one game. Also, I've recently learned there's some question about his death. He died in a car crash. He was married to Terry Bradshaw's daughter.

Yeah, that's right. And it's a really weird story on that there's some conflicting reports. She did call 911 and just kind of said he just, we were just watching a movie at home with a friend and then he just got up and left and didn't come back for two hours. And then he was, but then those who saw his car crash are like, yeah, he was raging, he was drunk. He was, I don't know, it's a weird. There's just a lot of questionable, let's look in, maybe Rachel, you could tell could really.

The bottom of this. Yeah, just figure this out. And then dead on this day still dead, of course, we have Barbaro. And that's what happened. On this day in history. Now we have closing remarks, and that is brought to us by Frankl and Frankel, personal injury attorneys. We don't want you to, well, did we want you to get in the car accident? It's hard to say.

I don't want to say it would be the worst thing if you did it, especially if you were to get seriously injured and need someone to fight for you against those insurance companies you call Frankel and Frankel 214 or 817 then dial all threes you will always talk to a partner

when you call up not some idiot like Blake you'll talk to Ed Wallace they're Ed Wallace you're not going to talk to Blake so where'd you come from Lance far away right Far drive?

Alito and maybe there'll be some ice patches who knows you careen off you're in a ditch you're barely hanging on, but you know who to call, right? All threes. So thank you,

Frankel and Frankel. Now, are we, we had discussions yesterday on Business Wednesday. We also, it's programming Wednesday. We had a programming meeting. And we discussed a thought of, are we going to do the...

Yeah. Are you into instituting we're slapping a preview on the front of the audio podcast? Do you usually do audio, do you watch the video or what? It's mostly audio, but I'll slip on a video every now and then. I think that's most people.

Yeah, well, I got it pulled up here. You have the bed? Yeah. How long is the bed? Well, it's 17 and fade. Okay. Okay, so I'll just fire this off. I'll go first.

I got to remember, what do we do? Yeah, I just looked down. I don't really know. So I was going to go. Oh, we talked to Belichick, right? Am I up, like? I am? Okay.

We talked to Belichick? Yeah. What do we do today, Lance? We never remember. Do you remember? Ed Wallace died. We had an Elmo Kim Spinn. Hall of Fame.

We had the Blue Gray. We had the Breakdown the death of the Blue Gray game. Wait, should we just be doing this with the bed? Yeah, that's what I was saying. I'm just going to fire it off. Let me pull my thing back up here. Today on the Dump Zone, did Terry Bradshaw's daughter murder Rod Barronis? What did Dan think about Bill Belichicks?

Hall of Fame snub. And is it Lance forehead or Lance Forehand? Find out. Is it later? I don't know. Wait, neck. Yeah, yeah, we should do. All right, so. A little closing remarks.

Lance is here because of Qualis. Yeah, I didn't get to enjoy it. We moved out promptly after they were done. Basically, I think they finished up like three days before closing. So shout out to them. But did that help you close the deal? The owners picked the colors. It looked horrible, but good for them.

Okay. But yeah, no, it was a selling point, and it's pretty tough to sell in a house right now. I mean, sold it in seven days. Nice. This is an angle we don't hear about. Call us helping you move your property. That's right. With the beautiful new roof.

Or, in some people's opinions, not a great color. It's their choice How can you have a bad color of a roof Aren't they all the kind of the same They got the metal ones It was just like jet black And we had like a tan and limestone house Okay

It was just very shocking to see All right But great job nonetheless So what's your bit? What's your deal? Working commercial construction I do like playgrounds and amenity centers So you've been at a front seat to the, you've had a front seat to the, the pusification of America.

Because that is what people always go to. What the soft-floor? They're like, I remember when you used to be able to get a compound fracture easily. It's like engineered cushiness. I think it's amazing. That's how it should be. It's awesome stuff. Like, it's all comes from Europe.

You don't get a splinter? No. Because you're running around in that the wood chips. Can't open the park before, if there's splinters. So, do you ever see this is a complaint I have? There are times where, and maybe it's just because my kid's too young to be on this playground, I don't like the open walkoff. Like there's some parts where there's like an exposed thing, no gate, not gate, but no wall.

And you could just walk right off. Do you know what I'm talking about? That's a weird thing. Like, why is that there? And the slide. Yeah, the slide. But there's a place you could just fall right there. And a lot of them are covered in most of it.

But there's like this panel. I'm like, our kids, if there are kids who are having fun jumping off here, I want them to keep doing it. I've just never seen it happen. So right now, it's a fucking death trap. I've never understood why they leave that there. I think it's, it depends on the surfacing. That's why they've changed it the most. Because, I mean, we put four inches of this squishy.

So even if you fall. Yeah, it's going to hurt and knock your wind out. But it's. Your shins aren't going through your knees. Yeah, I don't think there's going to be compound fractures happening much anymore. Great for swanton bombs. What's that? Wrestling move.

Oh, okay. We used to do backyard wrestling at a park, and that little thing you're talking about was where all the guys who did the high-flying stuff. Did those guys happen to have a particular cultural persuasion or no? No, just skinny white boys. Yeah, I just grew up in an era where all the high-flyers were Mexican. You chandelor? Yes.

Anyways. You got a page of notes to yell at us or anything? No, it's just... You're reping the Aggies today? Yeah, unfortunately. Unfortunately, what is the problem? No, it's fine. They don't let us enjoy things.

You know, we make the playoff. Oh, we lost first game. Okay, sweet. Cool. And, you know, it's all Texas people. So that's the main part just because they're like Yankee fans. some cowboy fans where they're you know dust off their history books and they're like oh old regular season record 05 it's good to be an a and m fan in 2026 this is the best it's been

in a long time oh sure and i was i was a new age aggie i didn't i had a burn orange bathroom as a kid so i uh you know i converted really really late but yeah i mean i had to watch kellen mond and kyle allen and trevor into trevor night i just got in after johnny so i didn't get that taste so um yeah it's it's it's been great to watch you know volleyball got a ship and that's like no okay whatever but that was cool but uh yeah just kind of letting you hang yourself is it looking for something yeah i was looking for the tiger song and i can't find it oh so i see i thought you might uh you know have a better conversation well we were good then i didn't know if you were looking to play the end did no i was trying to

I can't find the Tiger Woods voicemail song. All right. Well, good for you for getting out of the house today and getting a new roof for someone else. Yeah. We appreciate you. Adios. We've got to go before this becomes a zoo.
