Hey, for the ninth consecutive year, Nick, JetBlue Airlines ranked first for satisfaction among all North American airlines. But you know what ranked least in satisfaction? 9-11 Airlines. What a terrible name for an airline. It reminds me of that tragedy. Oh, 9-11. Don't laugh at 9-11. I try to tell them not to laugh. I know. I walked through blood and bones in the streets of Manhattan trying to find my brother.

Jesus. Yeah, he was in northern Canada. Well, hello there. It's Thursday. It's pre-weekend. And this is show number 251 of the Dumb Zone. I'm Jake Kemp. I'm Blake Jones. I'm Dan. I'm not lying. I'm not lying. Dan Balls. Did anybody ever call you Dan?

Yeah. Family members. They don't do Daniel? Some. Yeah. It's mostly Danny. Just because Danny wants it. Everybody, give a warm welcome to today's special guest host, Danny Heavy Metal Banes.

Now for a period of time, I did go by my middle name that's on my birth certificate, which is in fact Heavy Metal. Yeah. So Danny's in for Dan today Dan is headed to Cleveland do we know why exactly no he's a very mysterious man I know initially he was going to go to parents weekend perhaps up in Ithaca but he's going to Cleveland

all he said was to see my mom which felt very fantasy hockey folder because I've never heard him say he was just going to see his mom. So dubious. Is that what you told your family when you went to Matamoros that one time? I was off the air. Plenty of people know about the trip to Matamoros and what transpired. But no, I do know that Dan.

Sounds like a tasty trip. Okay. It wasn't me, to be clear to all involved. Dan does have the equipment to join us. So I think he's going to do that tomorrow, at least for picks. Then I believe he's also going to do that on Monday to some degree to give us his review

of his experience on Sunday afternoon. As he has finagled his way, as Dan will do, into a suite for Browns bingles. What? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Old radio connections? Sort of.

Yeah, I think so. But I don't remember the last time i mean i guess rangers night which i wasn't there so it doesn't count much like the flag football team's losses when i wasn't there i don't remember the last time i saw dan sit in a seat i was just thinking that like last time he went to a browns game well first of all last time we i went to a browns game he didn't go uh the time before that he sat in the the Spanish play-by-play booth with our friend there. That was actually the night that Miles Garrett hit Mason Rudolph with a helmet. He was there for that.

Mason Rudolph allegedly said the N-word to Miles Garrett. And, you know, Steelers-Browns, big rivalry. And Miles Garrett, what was the suspension? It was like the rest of the year, wasn't it? Yeah. But it was pretty light. Well, he could have killed him. Right.

So, but Dane was there for that. Mavs games that we go to, always a suite. He won't go without it. So, yeah, he's headed to the suite. And other than that, I don't know what he's doing out there. I think it's just him. I don't think he's with the fam it's kind of funny

the guy that feels so much Larry David when it comes to hiring somebody to mow his yard because he doesn't want to be thought of as anything other than a common man will only attend a sporting event if he's sweet

that's all a front trust if he's... All that is bullshit. That's all a front. Yeah, it's a cover. Trust me. Yeah. He's pretty bougie. Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

I mean, the whole... I guess people do it, but the whole you, your wife, and your kids eat at a different takeout spot when you go get dinner. Yeah, he makes three trips. If his daughters are in town, he goes to three different spots when he gets takeout. And maybe that shouldn't be considered bougie because probably the overall cost is the same, but it feels there's something about it. Yeah, time. Do you think he schedules the pickup to where he picks up his food last so it's the warmest?

Yeah. Yeah. If he's the warmest. Yeah. Yeah. If he's the one going to get it. Yeah, for sure. So we do have a lot today, I guess. Sorry. I think we're supposed to say that. Whereas Jake will just go pick up food at one place, but not tell anybody and eat an

entire medium from Pizza Hut on the way home. I've done that. So he doesn't have to you know be starving after his wife orders a round of veggie delights yeah some thai place i've done that yeah i've definitely done that i mean obviously the old move uh for picking up food which was certainly i learned was not the only one who had figured this hack out was not babe i'll go get it and uh you got to get yourself a little cocktail or a beer up there. And I would see other guys who were literally doing the same thing.

And you know how I knew? Because their bag was in front of them. Yeah. It was like, it was ready when they got there. You're like, honey, it was a long wait. You just have a schooner. And we've learned in the last month or so what a slippery slope that can lead to. Sure.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So all of you guys out there thinking you're being real wise asses for getting that sneaky cocktail while you're getting takeout. Well, it's not even just a sneaky cocktail. It's that you seem like a good guy for being willing to get it. I want to save us money on delivery.

I don't mind, but I'm going to spend $14 on this old-fashioned. Well, that would have been, old-fashioned would have been a play. I can't say that I ever went top-shelf cocktail. But we do have a bunch of cowboys today, of course. Got some explosive viewer mail-in news. We are here at our studio. I actually turned on DZTV last night on my recording.

My DVR. Apparently Variety says boffo about DZTV. It looks so cool. It does. The open's amazing. Blake does a great job with that. Do I shout out Copeland some on that as well? Depending on the day. It just looks cool.

I don't know. My daughter's not impressed by it. I don't think my wife's impressed by it. They're not impressed by the fact that dad's on effing television? I don't know that no. The short answer is no. I guess kids don't look at TV and being

on TV maybe the way we did when we were younger. TV is just another screen to them. Everybody's just another screen to them right yeah everybody's on a screen exactly because she can just look at me and be like record this and then see like a 5k video of her dicking around or whatever malcolm's the same way every the end of i have to i have to edit the end of every video that i take of him because at when we're done filming the content that I want,

he runs up. I want to see the video. I want to see the video. He runs up and he has to see it immediately. A little narcissist. Are you going to put that on Instagram? I'm like, I don't have Instagram. Where are you learning all this? Is Brixie the same way when you guys

do videos? He wants to see them immediately? Kind of. He's not that outward about it but yeah there's there's definitely a time where we'll go through photos and oh yeah do that whole love it dude i got to meet brooks for the first time at the uh the ballpark show that we did you and i we all have boys that are relatively in the same age group and you and i both admittedly have tasmanian devils for sons yeah that brooksie good kid oh my god i was like this this is this can happen yeah well this is real i hate to say it uh as a woke liberal but blake has shared before that he's not afraid of the corporal punishment. And right now, the early returns are

you and I might be doing this wrong. Just got to learn respect a little bit. I know. You can step out a lot. Use your words. The thing is, Carter, express yourself. Oh my God.

One thing that I do know for sure, and this was not the case for me growing up, but my son is not afraid of me in any way whatsoever. Yeah. He feels that I am zero threat to anything that he wants to do, say. Yeah. The only thing that I can do is eliminate whatever immediate fun he is having by changing the scene or taking something away that he's enjoying because he knows that's as bad as it's gonna get yeah no they they find the boundary and then they just sort of live there

he told me last night he he loves he he enjoys driving daddy bananas he told me we're going to bed last night we're very conversational last night it was great and he goes yeah i really enjoy driving daddy bananas like well you're fucking good at it kid well you know how danis has said kids can get you out of basically anything and i thought he meant like a social event, something you don't want to do. But my three-year-old got me out of a ticket this morning. Oh, do tell. Driving to daycare, had to get downtown. What, he made you turn it off and listen to the fan because of all the Jerry stuff?

I got it, and I like it. Okay. I'm trying to enjoy the musers, man. like it. Okay. Okay. I'm trying to enjoy the musers, man. Come on, Brooks. Hey, we're allowed to say this now. Does he have a meter? No.

Dump that. No. No. Doesn't have a meter. Can't talk about it. You see, kids, a personal people meter is a little pager. Anyway, go ahead, Blake. It produces an entirely statistically sound sample. Oh, man, it's so accurate. Not a guest hundreds of thousands of people yeah for sure um sorry oh

so no need there's a there's some construction on 544 and wiley it's all the buzz okay and calling where oh okay um and so i had to go around that, and to do that, I had to go through a neighborhood. And I'm not the most respectful of stop signs. What's wrong with you? If there's no one around, I'll just do some peeking, and then I'll just keep it in second gear and just roll through. With your kid in the car? Yeah. Again. You don't even do the rolling stop? You just kind of look both ways and gun it?

Again You don't even do the rolling stop You just kind of look both ways and gun it No I mean I'll slow down But just take a peek But I'm not coming to a complete stop If there's no one around And I'm the bad guy Yes

Yes I can't recall the last time I ran a stop sign I mean I just don't do it Complete stop Yeah I mean pretty close I want to feel the rock back of the car no you don't i swear to god i do that is such a way unless i'm turning right

i drive i'll roll i'll start to break one off on the swing there but i drive like the most concerned old woman like i'm very good about adhering to the laws, but I still don't come to the complete rollback stop. My wife will make fun of me too. Whether she's in the car or if we leave at the same time or we're in separate cars, it pisses her off. Good.

I'll sit there for a full second and check everything out. I didn't check my corners good enough this morning. Good. A little policeman over there is waiting in the neighborhood. Knew exactly where to be. Knew what people like to do. Because we have places to go.

Yeah, it's just you. Kind of just, we all have places to go. It's 8 o'clock in the morning. He knows what he's doing. He's being a dick. That's why it's dangerous. It's not dangerous. It's a stop sign. You need to grow up. Anyway, he's doing. He's being a dick. That's why it's dangerous. It's not dangerous. It's a stop sign.

You need to grow up. Anyway, he catches me. What an example you're setting. Do the whole bit, pull over, but immediately I knew with Brooks in the back, I'm like, I know what I can do. You're telling me he was special needs or something? I mean, everybody's got a kid. No, he's just like, hey, you know, he blew through a stop sign back there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. And then I point to my kid in the back. He's like, hey, we're in a big unbuckle our seat belt phase. And I was trying to fiddle with him in the back, and I just quite wasn't paying attention. Huh. Well, if your son's in a big unbuckle the seat belt phase, it certainly makes sense to be breaking traffic laws. Sounds to me like there should be two tickets issued. Yeah. No, Brooks is a model citizen. He doesn't do that. But I just thought I'd. You lied. So now.

Not only did you run the stop sign, but your kid is not properly restrained. And if he is. Is that marijuana? You just told me he was, which I believe they call obstruction of justice. And I believe that because I don't know what it really means. Well, shout out to Brooks. Right place, right time. Shout out to Wiley PD.

They're on it, man. Did you give him a sticker? No, but he saw mine. That's probably why I got out of it. Yeah, probably so. I had two things this morning that I took care of. The first one, I told Danny this last night. I heard you guys had a lively discussion about this topic when I was away.

I went to the dentist, and that is the longest I've ever gone without a dentist appointment in my life, which was almost a year and a half. I've been a twice-a-year guy since I was able to go to the dentist. That's probably lucky because I guess through my parents and then through my wife or the small gaps I had in insurance, I didn't need to go to the dentist if it was four or five months here and there. And yeah, I felt terrible about it. And so I went and I do brush two or three times a day with a good brush. I'm not great about flossing. You go full electric, right? Yep. The Sonicare. Not expensive but uh she's like oh everything's perfect she's like doesn't look like a year and a half off hurt you at all i've never

had a cat a cavity and it made me think like is the is the twice a year thing like the 3 000 mile oil change that's what we talked about because i heard you went a decade uh yeah which is insane same i did the same thing and up until about a year and a half ago if it's all insurance related it's all insurance no it's pure effing ignorance neglect and laziness on my part more of that yeah i do have the insurance in my back pocket for i didn't have it. Have you not always had your wife's insurance? No. She's a contract nurse. Dental insurance is like $11 a month.

And now I see that card leaving Blake's back pocket. Again, it's more of what Danny said. Did you have a bunch of problems? Did I miss out on this? No. I mean, the deep cleaning sucked. Did it hurt? Oh, yeah.

I mean, even with the numbing gel. But I just hadn't gone so long, and I'm not a deep cleaning sucked. Did it hurt? Oh, yeah. I mean, even with the numbing gel. But I just hadn't gone so long, and I'm not a great flosser. Do you brush every day? Yeah. Twice a day? Once. Why once? Because I don't want to brush in the morning again.

Like, in my awake time, I brushed like an hour ago. So I'll do the mouthwash in the morning. You know all the nasty stuff that just accumulates in your mouth overnight? One, as you well know, Americans on average eat 145 spiders in their sleep a year. No, they don't. Shut up. A year. No, that's true.

That's like one every other night, bro. Yeah, well, you got to catch up. Spiders. Have you ever seen those statistics? That's the dumbest thing you. Spiders. Have you ever seen those statistics? The dumbest thing you've ever said. Have you ever seen that where they try to tell you, like, oh, you know, people accidentally swallow eight spiders a year or something like that?

Okay, well, then they're not getting on my teeth. You've got to brush twice a day. Yeah. Yeah. Now, the thing is, bacteria that's in your mouth, a lot of it is actually really good. I like this one. Some people, some health experts will say that rins in your mouth, a lot of it is actually really good. I like this one. Some people, some health experts will say that rinsing your mouth with an alcohol-based

mouthwash is not good because it kills- That's actually true. It kills important bacteria. That's actually true. So if you are just rinsing in the morning, try to find one that doesn't have alcohol. And trust me, given my recent experiences they make it yeah oh yeah of course they do i think like scope and listerine i think those have full-on because it's the only one you're allowed to have there i think it's just vodka with like blue dye in it

it's not yeah it's you but you can definitely tell that one makes your breath the vodka one makes your breath smell better yeah the other one i'm sure it's cleaning it i found one that's really good okay yeah it's really strong. I found one that's really good. Okay. Yeah, it's really strong, but no alcohol. But you sound like you fared a lot better than I did after a decade away from the dentist. I mean, I've got a really good friend of mine that is a dentist. And over the years, he's like, I need to get you in the chair.

I'm like, I know, I know, I will, I will. I promise I'll book an appointment. And I finally just said, you know what? I got to do this. And the deep cleaning sucked, but it wasn't, the only thing that was bad is I had a wisdom tooth on the top that was so loose that he just went in with pliers and just pulled it out. I didn't have to get an oral surgeon.

So I got my two top wisdom teeth taken out and he just pulled them out right there in his office. And I did have to get a uh a crown on one tooth but the deep cleaning and i was like i've been completely committed to two to three times a day brushing flossing at least five times a week that's sometimes i'll skip a day and kind of forget or whatever but i'm and then my next two checkups after that were spot on so it feels good to be back in the game but yeah i did the same thing i was telling danny the tc story last night he went i couldn't believe this his was uh more than a decade i want to say and he was brushing like twice a week dang and it took him like half a dozen trips to the dentist to get

right and people in the office other employees were like they were calling other techs in like check this out like he was uh you know they discovered a new dinosaur or something no i knew mine would be bad but i just wanted to be below average you can't be the worst his was i think they were they were touting it as the worst his was like about to end up in a photograph on the wall whenever they show you like, this is what could happen. I think he was like really close to having implants or dentures. It was really bad and really expensive,

and it took a lot of time and a lot of pain. And the funny part about it is we had been having arguments about it for the better part of a decade. And to his credit, we started a podcast one morning, and he's like, I got to tell you something. You were right about brushing your teeth. Who knew? I didn't do that research on my own.

Who knew that Jake was the one to present this secret lost information? So the other part of my morning, wife and I are looking to – so we have a lake house, but we don't really go that often we bought it for extremely cheap we worked on it a lot for a couple years fixed it up put money into it it's mostly just airbnb now and it's about a push we don't really make money on it but we get the equity and given that we have just added on to our house and the kids are about to get into a bunch of weekend stuff, we're going to sell it and pay a bunch of stuff off. So I had to go and get some documents this morning. I had to get them notarized.

So in this case, the easiest way to do it was to go to my bank. easiest way to do it was to go to my bank and i remember when i was a kid much like a wedding officiant being really perplexed by the concept of a notary it's like oh the signature you can't just do it a notary has to witness it and the first time i ever did it i think it was something from my mom's business that i was working at part-time and I went there and it was just like this super beaten house where this lady had like nine kids and like 20 cats and a stamp yeah and I'm like uh am I at the right place like I'm yeah it's gonna be like uh it's gonna look like I'm on Wall Street like I'm walking into JP Morgan and it was just this shitty house in Haltom City you could be a public notary if you want so that's the thing is when I was a kid, they're like, oh, you got to get this.

This has got to be official by a notary. Yeah, and I'm imagining someone with like a monocle. And it was just like this lady that looked like Honey Boo Boo's mom. Who's hot now. Yeah. Can you believe it? Click here.

Honey Boo Boo is? I don't know. She's at the bottom of every webpage. The little shock ads. You're like, eight bacterias that are killing your gut. Have you seen Honey Boo Boo lately? You're like, I don't know. Click on both.

So it's just a weird concept. So I go in there, and the lady has, and I'm sure everybody knows this, but she just has a book that looks old. I'm like, why is this not on a computer? It ain't work that way, bro. It's an old book that looks like an oversized old checkbook. It's an old ledger. Yeah, it's a ledger. It's got the cover on it that's real old looking.

And she's just like, oh, I have to watch you do it. I'm like, okay. She gets out her big book and slams it down and has me sign it. She writes the exact time down. I'm like, you got to show your ID. Yeah, of course. Yeah. And it's like, okay, well, what about all the other signatures I do whenever you're not here?

How does this one, how is this one more official? Because she saw you do it. Okay. She can testify. It probably has to do something with court. Court. Yeah. Dude, and I notice it in this business too.

Everything is about covering your ass. Yeah, I guess that's true. Make sure that you do this this way because of blowback. Everybody's worried about blowback, right? It's true. It's just that I feel like there are a lot of signatures I give that could cause a problem if they were fake. true it's just that i feel like there are a lot of signatures i give that could cause a problem if they were fake and i don't have to have delilah from wells fargo i had to wait 10 minutes on did she charge you no i think because i have an account oh okay yeah yeah so a lot of them will

they do charge yeah five ten bucks honey boo boo's mom charged it was 10 bucks something like that cigarette burns all over her ledger. I think I want to get it done because I think it would make me feel powerful. I want to be able to tell you guys, oh, does that need to be official? I'll get my stuff. You'd be a great public notary.

I'm sure it's the same application process As a wedding officiant Here we go it's on the screen I can even e-sign 100 bucks I like that there's a term limit Four years I will reevaluate Fast approval

Okay yeah Historical facts Notary of the bedchamber yes oh wow witness the consummation of marriage oh yeah that's uh that's sign me up that's like a game of thrones thing i don't know if they ever did it but it's in some of the books i think where the king yeah they had to watch do you use the stamp in that case like no you you're not. It's like Bill Clinton. No. Like, oh, here, do your Clinton.

Don't stamp the pussy. That's great. Damn it. I heard you have a great Clinton, and I wanted to get to hear it. Hey, it's not good. So anyways, yeah, that's my morning. I got a lot done this morning, fellas. Notary.

What time did you wake up? I talked to you last night at 8.30 and he's like, I'm about to go to bed. Sounded sleepy. Yeah, I was sleepy. I had taken my magnesium. What'd you get up at? 4.30? Dude, it's a... 3.15? It's a problem right now. You can't get off of a rehab schedule,

can you? I can't. I woke up today at 3.03. And you've been up for the day since yeah there's nothing i can do about it i don't set an alarm i set my alarm for 4 30 you're gonna have to make yourself you make yourself stay up till 10 okay well last night so last night i only got five hours and 15 minutes of sleep so after we got off the phone you were up for another hour i was up but i was not and that also is like with whoop it takes out the time during the night that you were technically awake that you don't know about so i was probably falling asleep at nine and i got up at three

and i didn't mean to but like i'm not what am i gonna do it's like if you wake up and it's that close to when you're gonna wake up you just you just get out of bed. What are you doing at 3 in the morning? Just walking around your house? Here's one thing. I know you wanted to talk some mental health stuff. I don't know if we're going to go fully into it today, but here's one thing you learn when you're for real crazy. There's like 10 things you have to do every day to not be crazy. So I have to meditate.

I have to journal. I have to read. Then I have to like meditate. I have to journal. I have to read. Then I have to work out. And all told, that takes about an hour and 45 minutes. And then it's like, it's time to start the day.

But I feel fucking fantastic, folks. I thought there was another J he was going to add in there. I did too. He said there was 10 things. That was like five. I just mean like throughout the day, I got to stop and do like breathing exercises. I have to take...

Dude, it's to the point Dan and I talked about this, but I'm on like five supplements based on my blood work from a couple months ago and a couple medications. And I have like the... I have an old person pill thing. Are you kidding? You got the little pill organizer? Yeah, it's like eight pills a day. Now five of them

or six of them are not prescription. It's just, like I said, magnesium, like vitamin D, a B12. Right, right.

Flintstones gummy. Flintstones. And so like, the only way to remember to do it is like I bought the senior citizen pill thing. But I bet it's kind of fun though. It's so much fun.

On Sunday, I load them all up. Yeah. Yeah. yeah yeah organize it each day is a different color they all pop open individually and i haven't missed one yet yeah and you feel good yeah so you're like throwing weights around at like 3 45 in the morning no i start that between 4 30 and 5 and you're doing that at home yeah i mean at my home home when I move back in, I have everything you need. Like I have a rack, I have a bench, I have a boxing bag, a punching bag, I have kettlebells, I have

all the dumbbells I need, I have a jump rope. Where I am now, I just have kettlebells, a slam ball, slam ball, which I can't use in the morning because it's loud as hell, and like a 25 pound, they're called called a viper it's like this huge rubber tube with handles and i just do body weight i do prison workouts push up that all reverse front

lunges yeah yeah and then i just run when it's cold i love. You haven't gotten to the point where running just destroys your knees and your hips yet? Yes and no. When I'm in shape, I run sprints instead of distance. It's the best. And on grass, too. Yeah, for sure. It's preferable. I will start in October most years, or at least two out of the last three years,

I'll start running long distances to try to run the Dallas half. And then for the rest of the year, I never really run more than like two miles at a time can't do it it's bad for you recently i'm sure we want to move on to other things but on that i've uh corby is finally giving up giving up running and we've been connecting on the old man walk oh yeah because i can't run i've got a torn meniscus in my knee that's been like that forever so any your back too well the back is perfect now it's as good as it's ever been since i was 17 years old but i don't want to risk i don't mind sprints because it's on a soft surface and i think that's great at the end of a good walk to get like 10 of those in that's one of the best things for you as far as staying fit and cutting,

cutting fat and all that. But, um, but yeah, he's like, I can't believe, cause he's fully embraced it. And when we're talking like,

not just going out for a leisurely walk, I'm talking like rocking a 13 minute mile and doing like five or six miles at a, at a, at that pace. And it's, it's good, man. I'm sure it feels great. You feel it. And at a, at a, at that pace. And it's, it's good, man. I'm sure it feels great.

You feel it. And we're, you know, kind of collaborating on this going, why did we ever run? Yeah. And it was the same attitude. It's like when you're running,

you look at guys that are walking like weenies. It's like, Oh, what are you doing? Walking? That's not doing anything. Where's your fanny pack pussy. It does.

So it's so good for you. Oh yeah. And it's just as effective. If you're trying to lose weight, it might be a tick slower than running as far as the target rate that you want your heart to get into. But if you're in

that full, what's the level below the highest when it's either a zone four, but if you're in a good if your heart rate's at 130 and you're able to sustain that for an hour and a half you're gonna burn everything off in a in a in a few months there's a dude over by my uh neither one of us are why did we ever yeah there's a dude over by my house he might be retired i don't know he looks like he's about 60 i've never seen seen him run ever. And I swear to God, he was walking for two hours every day.

And he is not ripped, you know, but he's like lean as fuck. There's not an ounce of fat on him. Right. And I'm like, dude. And he's every day, fast walk around the whole place multiple times. All right. Let's get into some sports for the day. Blake. All right, let's get into some sports for the day. Blake?

From the wonderful world of sports, radio sports, scoreboard. Oh, yeah, I like that. I like that too, Tim. I also like our friends at Early Bird CBD. Those Early Bird CBD gummies, they are fantastic. I like to say these are not your old man's CBD gummies. They are fantastic. I like to say these are not your old man's CBD gummies. That is because, Danny, they have 2.5 milligrams of natural THC. Of course, they have

the 12.5 mg's of CBD in each gummy. If you're looking to change jobs or something, you got a drug test, these are not for you. These are not for you. What they are for is feeling nice, putting a smile on your face, enjoying the outdoors. Hey, perhaps if you are going to go knock out a five-mile walk and keep

your heart rate up, you're going to be walking around in nature. You want to be feeling good, you want to be feeling nice, open yourself up a little bit. That's what these bad boys are for. Think about if you wanted to go get up at, don't know five in the morning and go for a hour and a half long run or walk imagine if you tried to do that after i don't know six loggers and a couple of jaeger bombs the night before you're not doing it but you get a good buzz with these guys take one try start with one maybe if that's not quite enough you can move up to two guess what you wake up with the next day? Not a hangover. No.

That's for dang sure. Clear mind, Blake. Yeah, or if you just kind of want to forget the day's stresses, like I do. Take an early bird. Indirect shot at Dan and Jake in the live spot, but that's actually pretty poignant because we put him through a lot. An early bird is able to— Is there for me. I'm learning this from

Blake and he is right. There are daily stresses and they've been that way for about a month. Have you heard about early bird CBD? I'm learning right now, Blake. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I feel like I'm talking to two guys right now who want to pay full price. Let me talk you out of that.

There's no need. At earlybirdcbd.com, you can use the promo code DUMBZONE, which is good for 20% off. So do that today. It's made right there in Texas, in Austin. They'll hook you up with 20% off with promo code DUMBZONE

at earlybirdcbd.com. What? We were going to have you play something at the end. Again? No, no, no. Oh, this thing. At earlybirdcbd.com. Thank you, sweet bastard.

Take the edge off tonight with some early bird. Early bird, make me feel so good. Early bird, just like I knew you would. Worth the wait. All right, so we were not on yesterday. One brief programming note, we did not do a Rehab Tales episode yesterday. We should have made the first one two episodes

because we intended them to be about 45 minutes to an hour, and the first one was twice that. So next week we'll be back, and we'll have some for you on that. But today we are following up on the Jerry V the media story, at least briefly here because we were not here yesterday. Backstory, everyone probably knows it by now. It's national news.

Jerry getting into an argument with Sean and RJ on the fan. You know, you could come down on either side of this. Maybe both can be true that one, Jerry's actually super frustrated and kind of being a jerk, being a bully because he's a billionaire. He's always had things his way. And the other part would be, this is all kind of a calculated move on his part that he knows if he does this and people are talking cowboys and they're leading with cowboys and he has no intention of actually changing the rights holder. It was interesting to see however many people followed this story on social media, if you follow the right people.

Ben Rogers had a great tweet on this illuminating. The audience legit thinks that the fan or the ticket when they had the Cowboys, they were all going out to steak dinners every month together because of the Cowboys check. The station pays the team. Yeah, it's a wash. The station pays the team so that they can sell their own inventory in addition to the team's inventory on a broadcast. The ticket is paying the stars to broadcast their games.

We had the – when we were at the ticket, we had the Cowboys. Right. A couple of years at least two at least two maybe three and then they moved on to i guess the fan was was next for them it might have been live 105 at the time yeah but it was that signal i'm pretty sure yeah but we had them and i remember talking about uh the economics of that um with some operatives. And they said it's basically a wash. Yeah. They may have a little bit of spike in ad rev because of...

The mystique of it, your Cowboy Station. But what it essentially is, is the perception. We are the official station of the Dallas Cowboys. We carry the games. And it can also maybe bring more ears to your day part shows because of that reason. There's no doubt. One, the interviews. But two, yeah, I mean, they would do a three-hour.

Access, of course. Yeah. Because Jerry's on twice a week over there. And Steven's on. And they would do a three-hour post-game show when we did a two-hour show on the ticket so when i would drive home from work after doing the postgame show i would listen to the fans postgame show and when i went and got in my car in the morning it was on the fan now i knew what it was already i i was familiar with their product and the alternative so i didn't listen to

it it's worth it for the access because i don't think they're having to fork out any money on top of what they're – Right. It's a package deal. They're getting Jerry. It's included in the deal, whereas when the Musers are interviewing Troy, I would shudder to think what that paycheck is that they pay him every year. Well, I don't know if I'm supposed to say this. I'm not going to give a number, but I'll just tell you. Based on what i have heard i

don't know a number actually is he does he give him a good guy deal yes because he loves the ticket he loves the musers and he knows it's awesome so but most people are making for them quite a bit but in any case the idea that like oh these guys are taking money from Jerry. Now they're going to ask these tough questions. Like he has every right to tell them to F off. It doesn't work that way. And if you've ever listened to their show, It Ain't My Cup of Tea, the entire station, Not Really My Cup of Tea,

they in no way tiptoe around criticizing Jerry or the Cowboys. It has nothing to do with that. Now you may think that because other stations, obviously the ticket leans heavily on the promo of the thing that we've made fun of, like we make fun of every promo forever, like we're in no one's back pocket. The fan is paying the Cowboys, and they don't even hesitate to be critical of him.

And yesterday, or excuse me, what happened on Tuesday, they did their part. He did his. And they'll do it again. And Jerry will be on their show again. And you know what's going to happen next week? Way more people will listen to that Tuesday interview for at least a week to see how it's all going to go. I mean, the national. Jerry will make a joke.

Yeah. And it'll all be fine. The national attention that that's gotten, the guys on that morning show, Sean and RJ, right? Mm-hmm. And Bobby. Nothing better could have happened to them than what happened with Jerry. Because of the sizzle that they've gotten from all of the national media i remember on the freak when we had on uh mikey and kevin and i had jason kidd on and he came out

and said yes uh luca's better than dirk and i even gave him an opportunity to qualify they go do you mean like at this stage in his career compared to where dirk was in his career he's like no he's better than dirk right now period he's better than dirk and we sent that to i don't know morning news or fox or whatever and the next thing you know it's yeah it blew up and the people that worked at the station way to go guys yeah yeah they really did it now now when's the next one what are you tomorrow? They get rocked up over that stuff. They do. So, yeah, the fan is flying high today.

Yeah, and those guys came out looking good, too. It's not like they, you know, cowered away from him. So all that. It's all in the game, man. All of this shit's in the game. It's all in the game, and part of the game is just everybody feeding off the same corpse. 100%. Us included.

I like to just laugh at it, but I'm also a Cowboy fan, and I write about the Cowboys. We talk about the Cowboys. But I knew what was going to happen later on Tuesday was going to happen because in that interview, Jerry, when he's taunting them, is like, oh, if you think you're so smart, why don't you be where I am at an owner's meeting with one of these other 31 people here? You're so smart.

So I knew what was happening. I was like, damn, he's about to be in front of the media because there's always people scurrying about whatever convention center or hotel those meetings are at. And so I'm like, somebody's going to catch up with him because this is everywhere by noon. And the athletic did,iana racini uh and

of course her and i think with the contribution of machoda and sod had an article about it later that day and uh we have the audio of his comments to her i don't know that i would go as far as the volume connotation as yellow okay but the facts are that if i'm going to be grilled by the tribunal i don't need it to be by the guys i'm paying the wrong ones we're doing the questioning now if those have been real fans sitting there okay or if there's been people that knew what they were talking about football people might have had a different answer okay Okay. Well, there's a lot of error. Yeah, unless I'm mistaken about this and they have an extremely unique situation, they're not paying the fans.

And here's the thing. He may have the power or influence to get them fired, but to say that he's writing their checks, that's not the case. They don't work for DallasCowboys.com. I doubt he has anything to do with that. Right. So he just doesn't know how it works.

That's a good point. I bet he has something to do with, I don't know, because he is so involved in it, you know, from Sox to Jocks or whatever the Dale phrase was. I don't know, because he is so involved in it, you know, from socks to jocks or whatever the Dale phrase was. I don't know. But I also don't think he would just say that if he knew. I don't think he would intentionally lie about that like a illegitimate child or something. Well, that's what I'm saying. It's just probably just ignorance.

He just probably just doesn't know. He assumes that he's paying them because they're the flagship. Yeah, and of course, it's not like when he sits down and talks to kyle yeomans or something that they ask those sort of questions so he does know the people he actually pays like yeah those guys check says dallas cowboys the fans one says odyssey yeah so i don't know but then also the idea that he's like well i would have taken it if it were some real fans there. Okay, so does he just mean in public? Like, what if, I mean, I'm a Cowboy fan.

So if we were to have him on and I'm like, you know, it seems like you really screwed up pretty mightily in the offseason by the fact that you sequent these contracts the way that you did. You signed Dak to the exact same deal you could have signed in March. Yeah, does the defensiveness just not exist at that point? Well, according to him, if you're a fan, no, which I don't think is true at all. I think he's just squirming and trying to keep it going, and yeah, the wrong ones were doing the questioning. I don't know how calculated and in touch he is with that type of a strategy,

but it sure does. All of this talk definitely takes a lot of the discussion away from firing your head coach in the middle of the season. But is he that good? I don't know. To be able just to start up garbage with those guys? And knowing that this is going to go viral, is he that good of a strategist to be able to do that?

It might just come naturally to him. I don't know. Because while I've definitely still heard on the sports radio, the Cowboys podcast I listen to, and again, it's only Thursday. The game was five days ago. But I've still heard people talking about, like, man, they're just not very good. And they're bad without their defensive stars. And, you know, the schedule looks like a beast.

I've still heard that. Troy called them out on the Musers. But what I haven't heard over the last three days is, should they fire Mike McCarthy? That's true. Yeah. Or should they, you know, fire a position coach or something? It's been this stuff that blew up with Jerry, and practice has been a big point of discussion.

And you can kind of directly connect those dots between what Troy said with Dunham and Miller when he said he sees receivers that are running lazy routes and they're tipping off the other team because the only time they look like they give a damn is when they know the ball's coming to them. Those are things that have to be, if what he's saying is true, those are things that you would address where?

In practice, in the repetition of those things and having that drilled into your head and there being a consequence if you are lollygagging on routes or not blocking downfield or whatever. But if Troy is noticing that and he brought up, hey, man, I just did my research because I got Baltimore coming up and I watched the whole damn game. I saw it to a point where if those were my guys, there would be major problems.

Yeah, it's weird because you do have to practice it. You do have to coach it in practice. But at some point, you're either a dog or you're not. And again, we reference this a lot. I'm not saying that Dez was always in the game locked in, but in practice, Dez was a maniac. And I've always thought CD must kind of be like that in his own way because he runs really really hard with the ball in his hands like a man possessed

especially for his size but yeah i mean in general yeah there's a lot of effort in their entire offense from the design to the execution well we talked about you we said the other day when zeke gets a carry everyone knows that the play is over so you're already you know what I mean like you're already um I mean they're somewhat aggressive on fourth down but your quarterback doesn't run for the most part so fourth down I would guess but even without Jalen Hurts teams are the best on fourth down of teams with the best running quarterbacks for the most part. That down is not great for you. Let's just piss one of them away eight times a game like they did the other day

by handing the ball to Zeke, and that's got to be deflating to people. Well, you talk about the fiery catalyst types on a team, and you reference Dez. Michael Urban was that way in the 80s and 90s for sure. And you talk about— Witten was that way. Witten was that way for sure now the thing is either you're a dog or you're not well I think you can kind of draw a line down the middle and there are some people that are I think most of the team is probably more in the

central of that line dog not a dog well sometimes I can be a dog sometimes I'm lazy you only you only hear about those guys when they exist there There wasn't 53 Michael Irvins. There weren't 53 Des Bryants. Who's the guy now? We haven't heard anything about the main dog. It's really weird. And there's people that you would expect it to be. Maybe your quarterback for one.

Maybe Micah Parsons to be one. D-Law's been there forever. think that he would be a vocal and obviously we don't know what's going on but dude if that if that person exists eventually it's going to filter to us and there will be talk of it and it will be common knowledge that there is that guy that's holding people accountable that has nothing to do with the coaching staff no No, that's definitely true. Over the years, I mean, Romo was not really that guy. No, he wasn't. And sometimes it's your quarterback.

Sometimes it's not. People can lead in different ways. I do think Dak is a great leader, but I think it helps also. Like Zeke, when Zeke is the face of your offense, no. I don't know if CD's that guy or not. Micah, early returns are, is not. Lawrence was at times. Sean Lee definitely was.

Witten definitely was. I think Tyron Smith definitely was. And maybe Tyler Smith can turn into that. But they don't have a real in-your-face guy, it doesn't seem like. And then again, their offensive play calling is just boring as hell. Um, there are a couple, so I'm almost bummed the Cowboys don't play this weekend because I, I really do want to see how the Zeke carries play out going forward because we talked about this the other day during the game, there was a tweet, uh, where, let me see if I can find the Clarence Hill tweet, where Clarence Hill had a tweet basically saying,

here, I'll just pull it up so I can read it word for word, regarding Zeke's carries. And he wrote an article on his website, not his website, but. All City. All City Dallas, but I don't recall the exact URL. I have it bookmarked. I know there's no vowels other than the first A. This is from last week.

Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott confirmed he has talked to the coaches about his role and remains dumbfounded by his lack of opportunities, at least as red zone back. I don't think Zeke said dumbfounded, just like I don't think that C.D. Lamb said subpar throw for. So I thought that was weird when it came out. And then later that day, Clarence had a really long article about it, which seemed like it was an odd time to write it because it was after the Pittsburgh game where Dowdle was great

other than the goal line fumble. And he used that to be like, see, that should have been Zeke's carry. Fumbles just happen sometimes. So then I went and found Zeke being asked about it. And you tell me if he confirmed and remains dumbfounded by his role. Oh, am I up? All right, sorry. Let me see if I can switch this computer problems

talk about how hard it must be for you to adjust to this role given your role the first time you were here now almost never coming off the field what has it been like for you emotionally and mentally to not be nearly as involved uh i mean, it's definitely a lot different, but I mean, just keep my head down, continue to work, and hopefully my opportunity comes. All right, so that's the first answer. Yeah, you know, I'm just going to keep working. No real frustration,

not really sending a message. Let's skip ahead and see if he... One of the things you've always been exceptional at in your career is scoring in short yardage situations. How surprised were you you weren't in there in those situations the last few weeks? No, I wouldn't be in there. Yeah, I don't know.

Have you asked for more than five in the hole? I mean, I've talked a little bit, but just kind of letting it play itself out. This is something you haven't been used to for a long, long time. You talked about other veterans and say, how do I handle that? You know, honestly, I've just been focused on being a good teammate. I've been focusing on continuing to help lead this team. Okay, so does that sound like a guy that's like, yeah, I'm storming in there and telling him, give me the ball in red zone of the goal line or else.

And I'm dumbfounded why. Dumbfounded. No, he's just like, yeah, you know, I've talked to him a little bit and we'll see how it plays out. And I'm trying to be a good teammate. And then that article gets written and it's like, what? Did he quote him as saying dumbfounded? It just says, it's not quoted, but it says whatever the exact. He was describing.

Yeah. Okay. Okay, so the other thing too is he's definitely a big um guy. Every single time. But he's also. It's is he's definitely a big um guy. Every single time. But he's also – It's like he's surprised they're asking him questions. He's also a huge nose-breathe-while-answering guy. You know what I mean?

And he's still got that goofy zing giggle. You've always been exceptional in your career at scoring. In short yardage situations, how surprised were you you weren't in there? Already breathing heavy right there. You can hear it. In short yardage situations, how surprised were i want to be in there uh yeah i don't know. No, anyways, yeah. So to reference something else that happened on the fan briefly, this is the week before.

I was going to play this before Jerry got all pissy and changed the narrative. On the football front, it did seem interesting that Ezekiel Elliott said he talked to the coaches about his role, and he remains, quote, dumbfounded by his lack of – You see how this whole game works? Yeah. He said he talked to the coaches, you know they asked him have you talked to the coaches about your role yeah we talked about it a little bit and he quote remains dumbfounded now the tweet that the host

there or the the quote that is being used as a quote there is a quote of a tweet of what clarence said right but if you say it like that it makes it sound like it is a quote from a tweet of what Clarence said. Right. But if you say it like that, it makes it sound like it is a quote from Zeke. He said, quote, that he's, quote, dumbfounded. Coaches about his role, and he remains, quote, dumbfounded. That's not what happened. He's talking about opportunities, at least as a red zone back. I was curious what your thoughts were about that, and have you spoken to Zeke at all about this?

That's an exaggeration. Thank you. Dumbfounded is an exaggeration. Because it wasn't said. It's a bad description of how he feels about things. He's very much aware of the part of the running game that he's involved with. Okay, so I want you guys to stay with me here because Jerry's got a banger coming up. He was driving towards mischaracterization and then

decided no. No. That looks a little rocky over there. But more importantly is, and I can't emphasize this enough, we're saving him. Oh, okay. Are you serious? That's what it is. We're saving him. Yeah, so we don't really want to dust off

too many of those two and three and one yard carries right now. Because we're going to need those bad boys. When? Later. Oh, you know, that remains to be determined. The funniest thing about it is if you were saving him, you would still be giving him a light amount of carries. Like they are now except that those light amount of carries would be turning into more because he would be fresh how is he supposed to get better

later in the year like if you want to keep him fresh maybe you would uh uh keep it the same as he's doing now, which is not much. If you put together a Zeke highlight reel of 2024, you would need a really long theme song for it and a bunch of credits at the end of it for it to even make 60 seconds. Yeah. You would. Yeah, we're saving him. Look, bottom line, would. We're saving him.

Look, bottom line, man. You're saving him. You just played two of the best teams in the NFL, and it turns out there's an upstart out east that is about to run away with your division if you don't do something about it, and apparently you're not going to do something about it. So I don't know.

I just thought that was a brilliant Jerry answer. You guys just don't know. I just thought that was a brilliant Jerry answer. You guys just don't know. Listen, when he breaks off a 19-carry buck 25 on Thanksgiving, you'll remember the day. Because of these. But I don't. Saving him. You're saving Zeke.

That is awesome. So we didn't really do much around the NFL coming out of last week, week six, but there were a couple funny things. One of which was after the Eagles narrowly beat the Browns, 20-16, a game that they easily could have lost. They were back healthy. It was A.J. and Devontae played, right? They're back pretty healthy, and they were able to eke out

with a win. The Browns, one of the worst teams in the NFL and currently one of the worst quarterback play situations in the history of the league. They went 20-16. Was it at home? I know he was yelling at Eagles fans.

Yeah, so they're at home. And as the final seconds are ticking down and it's clear the game's over, Nick Sirianni, who is just the biggest douchebag in the game, he turns around to the fans in Philadelphia and starts giving them a like, what's up now? Huh? I've been talking shit. What's up now?

Huh? And he's kind of doing the hulk i can't oh my god can't hear you a little bit over there what's up he's horrible it's like dude you just beat the browns by four points you're supposed to be in the super bowl like your team when they finished last year one and seven one and six or something after the playoffs seven or eight and one yeah you're on the hot seat because everybody in Philadelphia is like, hey, it might have been the two coordinators we lost that knew what they were doing. Well, the public opinion on that guy has done such a flip.

Real fast. Yeah, and it happened quick. You're right. Nothing could be quicker on public opinion than Philly. So he's over there doing the what's up, what's up, bitch. And it looked terrible. So, of course, it was the first question in his monday press conference after the game yes please hey nick uh i was curious in the offseason

jeffrey lurie said he liked that you showed passion as a head coach he didn't want you to lose to lose that but considering the kind of extreme negative reaction to yesterday have you heard from jeffrey lurie at all about what happened yesterday and what was his feedback? No, Mr. Lurie and I talk every time after the game, every time I haven't talked to him yet today. I know how supportive Mr. Lurie has been through everything. I would say this about that. What I was really doing, I was trying to bring energy yesterday,

energy, enthusiasm yesterday, and I'm sorry. I'm going to start saying that any time I mess up real bad. I'm just trying to bring energy yesterday. Energy, enthusiasm yesterday. And I'm sorry. I'm going to start saying that anytime I mess up real bad. I'm just trying to bring energy. I get it when I did Adeline, but I was just trying to bring energy. See, the thing, I would like to be able to do that, but nobody would ever believe that I was ever trying

to bring energy. That's true. Same for Blake. Probably same for me. Yeah, I want Blake to try that. I was just trying to bring energy. How's true. Same for Blake. Probably same for me. Yeah, I want Blake to try that. I was just trying to bring energy. How's your energy, Rob? Good? Oh, great. Okay.

And I'm sorry and disappointed on how my energy was directed at the end of the game. And, you know, my energy should be all in on coaching, motivating. Choose energy spot. Right. And celebrating with our guys. And so, you know, that's, you know,

and I got to have better wisdom and discernment of when to use that energy. And that wasn't the time. And so, you know, we have the best fans. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Is it always going to do that? Well, we need discernment, wisdom, and energy. Just got to figure out, you figure out when to do them. He's probably getting fired.

He's probably getting fired. He sounds like a kid apologizing. Oh, I know, right? And the other thing, too, the reason you know that he sounded like a kid even more is it wasn't right away. It was the next day. You know when you used to screw up real bad and you knew there was going to be a situation with your parents you'd be like all right i gotta nail this kind of sounds like you went to the jason garrett school of communication a little bit there right energy and i need some wisdom yeah yeah all right uh good so that's we'll have picks

tomorrow we'll get into some nfl stuff i to tell you, this is a juicy Cowboy bye week. We got some heat. Texans Packers, Lions Vikings, Chiefs Niners, Monday night game, Ravens Bucks, the real NFL teams. Yeah. Right. The actual teams that look like they're playing NFL football. Got several good ones this weekend, so that should be fun.

And then another piece of NFL news that I still don't really understand is that Tom Brady now owns part of the Raiders. Yeah. I think you're about to show this, but yeah. Yeah, so I haven't seen it. Blake found this. I just saw the news, and it was confusing to me because obviously the first thing you think is like,

how's he going to call games anymore? Right. Like, okay, people are like, oh, he can't call Raiders games. How can he call any game? How many teams do you see in a given year? If you're the A team, it's not as many, but it's still probably 30, right? Not 30.

Excuse me. There's 30 teams. It's probably like 15 or 16. Fox is predominantly NFC, so I don't think he'd get in trouble there. Man, that's not near as much as it used to be, though. No, because there's a lot of, yeah. Since the rights changed. But, yeah, I mean, they're definitely the Cowboys national.

Yeah. I guess, okay okay then they feel more nfc yeah i feel like if i'm going to watch a raiders game it's on cbs primarily that that's true but uh most people aren't going to see any raiders games this year yeah not anytime soon but yeah his his restrictions came out recently like he's got kansas city san francisco this week okay so it does happen but yeah so his restrictions so uh yeah this is for our audio only people brady is not permitted to be in another team's facility which i feel like that's not a huge deal it might not be but i mean that is where those production meetings i think usually take place some yeah the ones with like ea and

stuff yeah okay this is kind of a big one. Not permitted to witness practice. We hear a lot about the broadcasters going to practice. I mean, that's where you pick up a lot of your stuff. Not permitted to attend broadcast production meetings either in person or virtually. Prohibited from publicly criticizing game officials and other clubs, subject to the NFL's gambling policy, and subject to the NFL's anti-tampering policy. So he's basically just not allowed around the teams. Dude, that's a slight neutering for the position that he holds right now at Fox. He can basically show up, do the game, and watch film.

Well, he can't say anything. Like if there's an egregious call on the field by an official, he can't comment on that. Or he can't comment on it with any opinion. Even if it's just the stuff that Blake just read, that's a really weird way to have to do that job. Probably what's going to happen is they just won't enforce it. My guess is practice is a big deal, man. He probably won't be able to do that because you're in person. And it's not like he's play-by-play, man.

He's an analyst. That's his job. Storytelling. Well, I saw this in practice the other day, and they ran that play. He doesn't have access to that anymore. That's weird, man. You know what it is, more than anything, is that people just can't get off of Tom Brady's dick. That's what it is.

And it turns out, week by week, he's getting better in the broadcast booth to a point where now, begrudgingly, I have to say he's actually pretty good already. He's very good. The NFL... He's very clean, too. Yeah.

No mistakes. The NFL and the owner's old boys club, he's the golden boy. They're not going to keep him out. If he wants in, he's in. If he wants to buy a piece, he's going to get a piece. It's good for the league to have him on TV, so he can basically just do whatever he wants. Why?

Because he's Tom Brady. No, why buy it? Why? Why? Why does he need this? What's his percentage of ownership? It's got to be pretty small. Is it basically like this is just an investment deal for him or is he involved in any type of decision making outside of what a shareholder would make?

Well, I know Okay, I'll give you the mark davis quote uh although tom can't play he can help us select a quarterback in the future and potentially train him as well good grief so it's a huge benefit for the organization how does fox let him keep his job i don't know because he's Tom Brady this would not fly in almost any other circumstance right and what's ironic about it is that while Tom Brady is super famous he's super marketable he's good at almost everything he does and he's part of the reason the league is as popular as it is uh he could be pulled away in a leftover style vanishing tomorrow and

the league would be just as popular. It's like they need Tom Brady. For example, we've talked about this before, but the NBA might have a problem on their hands when Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and LeBron James are gone. The NFL doesn't need Tom Brady to be involved in the league. They don't need him as far as like in a current savior of the league. Like you said, if he goes away and evaporates during the rapture, the NFL is not going to drop any revenue or ratings.

What Tom has is the squeaky clean, uh, persona. revenue or ratings what tom it has is the squeaky clean uh persona so when you have the acres of bad crap that's going on in the nfl you can yeah but with tom brady yeah oh a couple of footballs with low psi but look at tom brady yeah look what he's doing yeah he's a part owner in the league he's in the fox booth that's what, these guys are outliers. What our league is really about is Tom Brady. That's why he's essential or beneficial to them. It's not really for the day-to-day. It's for the image.

But if the NBA or ESPN wanted Michael Jordan to call games, they would let him call games, even though he's an owner of Charlotte. I don't think he is anymore, but to your point, this is almost like... Michael Jordan does nothing. Oh, I know. So they would jump at that chance. Yeah, but a huge star wanted to call games, you're going to let him.

You're right, but the point would be, that's almost like the internet rule of bringing up Hitler in in an argument if the only outlier we could find is michael jordan well there's not many you're not going to find many others yeah you know so if brady is saving us from mark sanchez then yeah they'll probably let him tiptoe through these restrictions and call games i mean the other thing too that's in this opinion piece about it is that because because they even asked Jerry about it,

he can't go to production meetings or practices, like Danny said, is prohibited from publicly criticizing officials or other teams. Other teams? He could still call any coach or executive or player that he knows, and he knows all of them. So Jerry, they asked him about it and he's like, he hadn't called, but I've seen him and I'll see him in pregame.

So he, as owner of the Raiders, could just call Andy Reid and say, hey, I got a Chiefs game this weekend. I can't come to the meeting, but what do you got for me? Now the inverse of that is Andy Reid might be like, no thanks, pal.

You own our division rival. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe it won't affect the broadcast that much, but it is interesting to see just how, like anything in life, preferential treatment works. You can just kind of, hey, it's Tom Brady. You can get away with whatever. I think it also puts, not that I'm going to play a tiny violin for KB, but I think it puts his partner in a weird spot. I think it does too because it definitely,

KB is going to have to pause before setting him up with something that could violate a sanction. It seems like the sanctions would come from somewhere else and limit his abilities as an owner. Like, dude, this is a financial thing for you.'s basically just a fund it's a fun you put the money in you put the money in yeah you can say that you have a state you're a stockholder a shareholder in the raiders but you don't get to have any uh any anything to do with their operations, with their coaching, with their training, with personnel, planning, game planning, anything like that. That's where the limit should happen and let him do his job. I mean, Fox is kind of getting screwed on this in a way.

And if I'm them, I'm a little pissed at Tom Brady. Yeah. But they probably went in eyes open and just said, doesn't matter. Tom Brady, we got to do it. It will be funny, though, if they get good again, because that's like a 10-year deal he signed with Fox. And it's cyclical. They'll probably figure out a way to get a quarterback

in the next couple years, and he'll have to call their games. It's really, really weird. Really weird. That is all I have for sports and NFL today, boys. So, Blake? Hey, everybody. It's time to answer some of today's viewer mail.

What's up? Do you want to hit a... There you go. I didn't know if you wanted to do the, uh... Own well or not. Yeah, let's do some own well, shall we? Let us indeed. Thank you, Blake. Property taxes, Jake. It's something that I had to deal with this year.

And I decided this year, you know what? I'm going to contest these, and I did it basically all on my own. Ugh. Set up the hearing, got on the phone with the folks, and called me on time. I'm talking to these three people that I don't have any connection to, and I plead my case. I've got the listings for other homes in my area that are similar in value.

Thinking, I got it, man. I'm going to save like a grand. I saved $10, and the only reason I saved $10 is because they wanted to round it down to the largest number to make their bookkeeping easier. And I hung up the phone, and guess what? Nothing I could do. I did something similar where I wrote a handwritten letter, and I had, here's what I had to pay for the house. Here's what it was valued at. Here's how much has gone up in a year.

I had the case down. Did you have to go to a notary? No, I didn't have to do that. But I did feel like Tom Cruise and a few good men were carrying on a baseball bat. I got my case down. I'm going to save a bunch of money. I didn't save anything. Until I went with OwnWell.

He has since moved on to a place to see and be seen, working as the analytics guy for DQ. I'm not surprised by that. Wow. That's probably why he stopped emailing us. He still listens to y'all every day and would love a shout out. His leader is the single slat in the blinds Mike Soroy looks through during Amber Alerts. Given y'all's new relationship with Fox.

Best bits ever. What do you want me to do? we are you want me to do what do you want me to do uh we are excited to watch jake's debut on the masked singer we just hope he doesn't cause any more absences on the podcast this is from hannah that's where i was yeah remember that i remember when when people thought tom brady was on the Masked Singer. Yeah, as the banana or something. I read about a 40-tweet thread on that. I'm not too proud to admit it. About what?

The evidence that that's where he was. They're like, look, you just signed a contract with Fox. Follow me. Okay. Thread below. No, no, it made sense. Hey, Uncle Slit Lightning. It was Anna Kay's birthday yesterday.

This was October 15th. I forgot to send you all the email. I may have forgotten to send this email, but not to put her to sleep in her favorite way. Burger massage gun piledrived into the couch, then wrapped up like a burrito covered in cats. She's definitely not proud of Jake at all, and she wants more of Southern Belle Blake.

Hentai porn, maybe? Why didn't they just say that? I have a... Hentai porn, maybe? Why didn't they just say that? I have a hentai porn pillow? I mean, you're a gamer, right? I thought that's what all y'all were into. All gamers are into hentai? All gamers are definitely into anime. That's not true.

You know, I don't know that I've ever known someone in real life who was stoked on anime. That's a grown human or a kid either way like i mean it's very popular in the black community i have a buddy whose 10 year old son is obsessed but i don't know that any of my friends are into anime blake that kind of tracks as like a pokemon guy i was not the only person in the 90s You were into that niche hobby Yeah Okay this birthday request It says dear pussy man

shop drop shopify are you kidding all right last one what's up dan and dumb zone fam i know i'm sending this on business wednesday but hopefully this gets read on the thursday episode it's my fiance's and his twins eric dickerson birthday chris and kyle are date oh aggies for sure right chris and kyle yeah our day twos and religious listeners to the dumb zone chris and i are so happy jake is back leaders are heart attack man and i'm sure there are more say hi to the rose twins for me big fan avery okay a couple here do you have marv's tweet in front of you? No, I do not. Our good friend, we'll just call him Marv the Cosmic Cowboy, he had a reply to something that we posted the other day. Danny posted just on our show account.

Funny clips there. I do have his tweet. Funny clips. We will first play that. We were talking about the story the other day of a trailer park. A lady set it on fire, one of the units, and it killed a man and three dogs. And I, as I believe you'll hear in the audio, was thinking about the difference, pros and cons, of being a trailer park dog or a homeless person dog. A woman in Fort Worth, or excuse me, this one in northwest Dallas, has admitted to setting a fire at a trailer park.

That fire killed a man, but more importantly, three dogs. Oh, no. I think I'd rather be homeless person dog than trailer park dog. Deep contemplation. With all the same bad stuff. Okay, so they're both bad. Deep contemplation. With all the same bad stuff. I don't think most... Okay, so they're both bad. I'm not saying all trailer parks are bad,

but I was just saying, based on my cops experience, I mean, I've had friends that lived in, you know, a park, but this is the type where somebody sets it on fire. You know, it's like meth people live there sometimes. Yeah, that's true. I don't imagine being a homeless person is largely a nomadic experience where you're seeing the sights of America.

Yeah, I might have oversold that a little bit. What an adventure. I don't know. Excitement. You're solving crimes. Eating somewhere different every day. Meeting new people. Get to know the locals. That's probably true. Yeah, I pulled that and posted it on our Twitter account just because it's the unicorn of Dan laughing out loud that much because I find it very difficult to get Dan

to break. You got to work for it. You got to get lucky. Yeah. It's a lot of luck. And I'm most often surprised at what he finds hilarious. In this case, homelessness. Yeah. Well, Marv the Cosmic Cowboy tweeted to the dumb zone. And it's a picture of, I don't know, like.

It's Raphael. Okay. Yeah. Raphael in a Heisenberg hat and a red mask. And it says, Add for homelessness I made to spread awareness. A tribute. And I believe, Rob, you have that audio.

Sick and tired of the cubicle and the boss man trying to fuck your wife at the Christmas party? Ever thought of life on the road? Well, homelessness might be for you. Travel the world. Get exercise. Try new foods.

Meet new people. Get some addiction. Fucking crush. That's right. For the low cost of free, homelessness could be yours. All you've got to do is stop talking to the people you love and leave. That's right. For the low cost of free, homelessness could be yours. All you've got to do is stop talking to the people you love and leave. That's right. Fucking leave. Homelessness. Are you ready?

Damn, that's awesome. That made me LOL last night. For the low price of free, you can leave. Stop talking to the people you love. I'm going to do that. that i'm gonna start doing that like right now that's awesome i did it really is funny though because at the genesis of it was me kind of describing it like it was being carmen san diego or something you're just like where can i go next yeah probably just the other part of town and back. Right. Okay, so our last one here, Blake, and then we'll take a brief break.

This comes to us from our dear friend, Brandon, who signs off this email with your orchestral DF. I believe Brandon plays in the Detroit Orchestra. No way. He does. The Detroit Symphony Orchestra. So he says, are you familiar with uh the do we don't have the mr belvedere thing available do we

the theme song no because if we do i should have teed you up for that but so yeah yeah we played uh you know the you know the walker told me i had aids clear right i remember i watched the cone that originally happened on conan just the other night like three times if you want it. Okay, so we played that on the ticket obviously a lot. We did parodies of it with people down in HR and sales. And somebody sent us one the other day from around that time, you know, late 80s, early 90s from Mr. Belvedere. And I think in this clip, Mr. Belvedere, he's at home with

whatever the kid that he looked after, and one of his friends comes over, and he's apparently run into some problems in life. Good evening, Mrs. Owens. Ah, Mr. Belvedere. Will dinner be ready soon? Personally, I think it was ready 20 minutes ago, but I'm not making it.

Let me love. minutes ago but i'm not making it my meatloaf hi mr belvedere hello danny is wesley here yes come on in everyone you remember wesley's friend danny oh hi danny hi mrs ons mr ons hi champ how's it, I got AIDS, but other than that, I'm doing pretty good. What the fuck? You like the laugh track? What the fuck? Yeah. I got AIDS, but other than that, I'm doing pretty good. It turns out, much like with scripted sitcoms and families com dramas of that time

with drugs like I referenced the other day Brad from Home Improvement they found his weed a lot of that stuff was paid for by the government the government the same way that Walt Disney was paid to make propagandistic that's probably not a word but propaganda

around the time of World War 2 with all the jingoistic type yeah here's bugs bunny as a paratrooper and he gets snuck up on by a particular yeah and so uh i think they did that long for chuck yeah i think they did that for aids too and brandon reached out and said the mr belvedere aids line reminded me of this great cartoon clip from my vault. I can't find any info on which show this came from, but it is no less amazing. Enjoy. So he sent me this video clip. It was clipped from like Instagram or TikTok. And he's like, I don't know what this is. So I did a little, little forensic work. This is from season three, episode 11 of the show Captain Planet and the Planeteers. Year?

1992. I remember that there was a Captain Planet cartoon. I don't recall what all the different iterations of it were, but I remember Captain Planet and the Captain Planet cartoon. This is Season 3, Episode 11, 1992, A Formula for Hate. We're going to play the video if you're only doing audio. It's a kid shooting a basketball in the gym by himself and his coach walks in

to try to pep him up a little bit. Your mother called. She's worried. You want to talk? Nothing to say. It's all over. Not the way I hear it. Coach, I've got AIDS.

Wrong. You're HIV positive. Big difference. It could be years before you even get sick. Yeah, but it's gonna happen. They probably won't even let me play in the big game. Wrong again, Andrews. You're gonna be playing in that game. And anybody who says otherwise will have to deal with me. You sure, Coach?

You worked hard to get here, Todd. I'm not going to let you quit on me now. Thanks, Coach. Come on. Let's work on your crossover dribble. Come on. Let's work on your crossover. I'm watching that clip, and the only thing I see is it's the same effing animators that did G.I. Joe.

Oh, yeah. Turned into the Fensler films. Yeah. Pork chop sandwiches and all of those. Body massage machine, go. Remember when we were passing those around? Oh, my God. Back when you were 17.

I'm seeing here that might have been LeVar Burton, but I'm not positive. Let's work on your crossover. Thanks, Coach. Come on. Let's work on your crossover dribble. Todd, by the way. Todd, by the way. Let's take it from the top.

And I'll tell you. I'll read you the description. Todd Andrews, a high school basketball player, finds out he has HIV AIDS. Verminous scum, a character, starts rumors about the disease that turned todd's schoolmates against him hoping to spread the disease further uh so playing uh the coach i believe i'm just impressed that todd's in the gym over christmas break working on his free throws that's very true yeah that's something especially since he's probably gonna die right uh Right? The coach by LeVar Burton. Let's listen to the first part with the punchline again,

and I will tell you who is voicing Todd. Your mother called. She's worried. You want to talk? Nothing to say. It's all over. Not the way I hear it. Call!

Your mother called. You're say. It's all over. Not the way I hear it. Coach! Your mother called. You're good. She's worried. You want to talk? Nothing to say. It's all over. Not the way I hear it. Coach!

I've got AIDS. Wrong! You're HIV positive. Being different. Okay, so that is a 19-year-old Neil Patrick Harris. Really? Wow. Okay.

So Blake, don't feel so bad. Not the way I hear it. Coach, I've got AIDS. Wrong. Wow. He sounds like Doogie Howser at that time. Yeah, he sure does. Coach, I've got AIDS.

Wrong. Wrong. I wonder if he, at 19, I mean, gosh, you're 19. You already know that you're gay, right? It's not just gay dudes that can get it, Danny. I understand that. But at the time, my point being. He wanted to spread the awareness about it by appearing in like a PSA.

But I guess what I'm saying, he hadn't come out yet at 19, right? Probably not. Yeah. But. I guess what I'm saying, he hadn't come out yet at 19, right? Probably not. Yeah. But just a strange coincidence that they would choose him to read that. And I wonder if he had any conflict with it or if he was happy to do it because, you know, it did hit the gay community probably larger than any other. Sure. Especially back then. Yeah, for sure.

It's all over. Not the way I hear it. Coach, I've got AIDS. Back me into a cancelable corner. Oh, you know where you are. No one can be canceled. Let's work on your crossover dribble. That's all I want to hear.

Let's work on your crossover dribble. All right, we'll talk to you in a minute. Let's work on your crossover dribble. Let's do it. People from all over the country are coming to see the ladder, feeling a connection to its symbolism and beauty. Even country singer Alan Jackson has shown up

with a song he has written about the ladder. Alan Jackson is, of course, the man who wrote the song Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning about the tragedies on September 11th.

And now he's here once again to capitalize on people's emotions. Let's listen in. Where were you when they built the ladder to heaven? Did it make you feel like crying or did you think it was kind of gay? What a beautiful song. Well, I for one believe in the ladder to heaven. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 9-11. I said 9-11, 9-11. 9-11.

I said 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. I feel like in that moment, Blake, what he needed was for her to be a friend in low places. Jesus. Right? I'm in. Fuck it, let's go. Yeah. Congratulations.

And perhaps he needed to wait until the evening because she ain't going down until the sun comes up. Wow. This guy's on fire. Boom, bitch! Nope. Puppet. Puppet! All right, thank you.

What do you think you are? Jam Master Jay? Hey, welcome back to the Dumb Zone. I'm Jake Kemp. I'm going to get one a day. Again? For Dan, I'm Dan. Yeah, yeah.

We don't have to do any of that, to be honest with you. Reset. I have my first parent-teacher conference this afternoon. Like the standard one or a bad one? It's standard. I hope it doesn't turn into standard bad. Like you and your wife and the teacher? Mm-hmm.

Not like a group thing? No. We went to a couple at Montessori, but Montessori is so chill. Yeah. It's not really any pressure. What are you anticipating? Well, I've looked at a couple of the daily notes so I'm at least somewhat prepared for the run sheet.

Oh no. Every kid, they don't get the gold star every day, folks. That's why you got to work for it. It's like I say, Blake, success is least not owned. And rent is due every day.

I've never heard you say that. He says it. He just said that he always says that. Lame J.J. Watt. I've known him since he was in high school. Hey, do you guys know the Mavs start one week from today with their regular season? Man, I am fired up.

Hey! That's tough. Nobody knew this song had lyrics until Jake brought it to the light. So, we have... Real quick, are you prepared to watch the Mavs? I am, and actually, we have some news on that front. You gotta do better. Thank you, Coach.

I went on Amazon.com and ordered my digital antenna last week and installed it within, I don't know, about three minutes. What was the damage? 40 bucks, 35, something like that. But the ones that I saw online, they look like these giant obelisks that sit next to your TV. They're like a foot and a half big. I'm like, I don't want that. My kid plays football in the house.

Yeah, I think it turned into a football itself real quick totally but phillips makes this one that's low profile and it clips on to the top of your tv you barely even see it and it worked great i just i tested out uh was it channel 29 yes 29.1 uh the dumb zone are on dz tv on channel 27 right and And Philips is still in the TV game, huh? Yeah, but they made this antenna, and it works great, and I'm sitting there watching Mexican TV in 720 DPI, baby. That's important. Yeah.

Do they still have the rabbit ears? No, I'm sure they do, but I think most over-the-air broadcasting has gone fully digital, so you have to have a special antenna, but this thing works great. So the news today, a little bit of a follow-up on the news from last month, which was that Tegna, which is the parent company of WFAA Channel 8, they have a multi-year agreement to broadcast most Maverick games. That'll be 70 this season.

And the follow-up today is where all this is going to be shown. So Channel 29, the ABC affiliate, the Tegna product, will be on AT&T U-verse TV, Charter Spectrum, DirecTV, DISH, Frontier Fiber, Fubo. This, pursuant to a conversation we had off the air about knockoff clothing in Mexico, something called Goose, G-E-U-S, which I've never heard of before. Grande Communications, OneSource Communications, and Optimum. before grande communications one source communications and optimum now you might notice noticeably absent from there is your youtube tv and to probably hulu live live to a lesser

crowd of folks but there is another way even in addition to danny's phillips contraption from the morning news, fans' remaining option will be the Mavericks' soon-to-be-announced streaming service slash app. And that is going to be announced. Details of it sometime next week. I bet this happens after Christmas. Don't you think?

No. You don't think it's going to happen until after the season? No, I think it's going to happen until after the season no i think it's going to happen real quick i think when it says the soon to be announced streaming service app may it might not be next week it might be the week after that it might be the week after that but i don't think they're missing too many games well there's a difference between an announcement and when the thing goes live that's also true i could be reading too much into it um i'll probably get the antenna and then also the app when it when the app is

available but you're right it does just say soon to be announced excuse me almost over this are you still recovering from your spit take because of pussy man that that set me back a little bit it's worth a rewind too so uh yeah that's that's good news. And the upshot of it is that you'll be able to find the Mavs one way or the other. It might not be the normal way that you're used to, but a lot of people couldn't get the normal way. The normal way for me, and I've told you guys this before, was going to crack streams, dot some weird extension, hitting the Mavs game you wanted to see,

picking somebody that was streaming it, and then fight through about, having to click off about 15 either gambling or porn ads, and then the thing would collapse halfway through a game. Because some guy. Cast it to your TV. Some guy in Romania spilt his coffee on the server that he's running. And that's how I've watched the Mavs for the last two and a half seasons, it feels like.

Well, you'll have an option one way or the other this year. And this is just part of it. The landscape is changing. They've got to figure out ways to get it to you. And that's what they're doing. So kudos to the Mavs and a hearty F-you to the Sinclair Bally sports situation. It's going to go down as one of the darkest periods in DFW television history

is the Bally's era. Yeah. That would have felt like it was a bad idea before it really even started. It didn't seem like it was going to work. I don't remember a time ever at its inception where people were like, this is great.

It's probably gonna work out even the people that got the app and subscribe to it were complaining about it that's what i eventually had to do when my uh the teat that i was suckling from dried out i had a little work around and then i got bally and i'm like this thing blows so the mavericks uh you'll be able to watch them one way or the other this year. So what I'm doing right now is getting myself prepped for Mavs. And one way I'm doing that is going back through a couple of series that are on right now on streaming services. On ESPN+, we've mentioned it, but there's a show called NBA Playoffs Clutch.

And it's, I want to say, eight episodes, and it just chronicles just the playoffs from last year. They don't really do any Mavs content, as far as I can tell, until episode five, because they know that the back half of it is going to be a lot of Mavs, because they were in it that long. But in episode five, they start with telling P.J. Washington's story. And they really start in the Oklahoma City series, but to sort of set the stage for the Oklahoma City series, they have to rewind back to round one and tell the story of the Clippers series, which, of course, gave us one of the more famous moments in Mavericks history. And as I think Brad Townsend says in here,

one that'll live in Mavericks lore forever, which is of course, stand on business. In the previous series, when the Mavericks play the Clippers, there's a moment that really will live on in Mavericks lore. Game two, it was a little chippy. This game is off to a very physical start. First goes on.

There's this moment where Terrence Mann comes up to Luka, and they're scrapping, and PJ gets in the middle of it. Washington's hot about something. Terrence Mann came out, and he pushed me a little bit and told me to stop looking at their bench and I was like you're not gonna stop me so I went over there and just did this and it became viral I was showing all the tweets about it

and this crowd loves the feistiness of these Dallas Mavericks I get excited in those type of moments just seeing him step up to the challenge and really letting the Clippers know, it ain't gonna be what you thought it was, guys. The way he stood up to the Clippers, he became an overnight hero. He was stone cold. He was a straight killer in that moment.

And it symbolizes what the Dallas Mavericks did that entire series. They stood on business and i feel like that's kind of when everybody was like oh okay we gotta we gotta watch out for maz okay that was such an awesome moment the play that playoff run was so much fun man we were there right weren't we at that game Yeah, we didn't really know what was going on. Yeah, you couldn't see it right away. But we were sitting kind of close to the Clippers bench.

Yeah, I didn't know. Pretty awesome to watch unfold. Yeah, that's awesome, man. Yeah, the whole run, man, was just. It felt so unlikely. So unlikely. They were picked to lose every series, every round. In the Thunder series, which we're about to get into,

the Thunder, the one seed, I know they were an experience, but they were the one seed, and the Mavericks, gentlemen, sweeped them. Now, the first two games, going back and looking at it and hearing people talk about it, both the first two games, it was a three-point game and a one-point game, just as a reminder of how insanely thin the margins are these things you know a couple shots here and there and you're down oh two it's wild so we progress through the thunder series we'll have some more audio from that but then the other show that is on right now they went in six against the thunder they did what am i thinking of timber wolves is yeah it was three points and one point. Yeah, so that's right. So the Thunder Series 6, this series, the Timberwolves Series 5,

and that Timberwolves Series is featured not only in the ESPN Plus show, but in Netflix's Starting 5, which is about the entire 23-24 season, and it features LeBron, DeMondas Sabonis, Anthony Edwards, and I don't remember who else, right off the top of my head, but it's just those five guys. So I've seen, and I'm sure a lot of us have seen a bunch of

Anthony Edwards clips that have been going viral lately talking about. I think one of them was when Luca made like four threes in a row. I've seen that one a bunch. And where are these coming from is what I was wondering. And you told me, there's not one, but two series. There's two of them, and Anthony Edwards is heavily featured in both

because starting five, like I said, ant lebron demona sabonis jimmy butler and jason tatum and it's pretty good because jimmy butler's super entertaining uh anthony edwards is really entertaining but lebron is just very off-putting in this setting he's just doing his image bit and i don't know but it's LeBron. In this particular late in the season episode, the Mavericks are playing the Timberwolves. They're talking to Ant. That is the recording that Danny is speaking of.

It's pretty funny to go back and watch. The Wolves do it again and push this best to seven back to Dallas. For game five, I was ready to go. We all was ready to go. When we got in the locker room, we was putting our jerseys on, we was ready to bust their ass. But Luka had other intentions.

For sure, he had other intentions. Luka, along the left side, the hash mark, over Edwards for three. He hits again. And I think Luka wants to send a message to Anthony Edwards here. The motherfucker came out and made four threes from one step inside half court. Luca, I'm a welcome call. What is going on here? Donchich again, another three.

Got it. He's a flamethrower. Half court train is crazy. That's Ant on the bench. He's looking over like, half court, what is happening? Dude, he cures my Cowboys blues. Luka? Yes.

Yeah. Like actually having a guy that performs in the playoffs. I don't know. Performs in the playoffs and listening to other NBA players talk about him is always so cool. Probably because we were deprived. After his career, the love Dirk gets is crazy. Well, it took. But during.

It was the back 40% of his career before dirt got any street cred any respect at all i mean he had to win the title yeah luca's getting it out of the box yes and from ant especially who's been anointed as you know the face of the league is he baby jordan and he starts the uh the starting five with uh yeah i'll go at lebron like i don't care like he has no respect for anyone. And for him to say that about Luka is really cool. At that point, we ain't got no energy.

He took it all. Edwards goes thrusters way to the line and far over Defter. Rebound, Luka Doncic. Off the balls, off the glass. And he gives the Jordan shrug while running down Luka Doncic. Off the balls, off the glass. He gives the Jordan shrug while running down.

Luka. This thing got me so fucking mad, bro. The Western Conference champions of the Dallas Mavericks, they're going to the NBA Finals. They're going to the NBA Finals. Make sure, bro. Make sure when we get in this position, we're going to be right back here. And whoever we see, whoever they best play is, bro, we not letting these – bro, they don't let me get shit. That's kind of funny, too, as a comment for the Mavs defense last year, especially in the playoffs,

because Luka just destroyed the Timberwolves in that closeout game. And that was Ant's takeaway. It's like, how are we letting him do this and they're not letting me get shit? Yeah. Like, they know they just have to stop me. And they did. I don't know if this is not necessarily a momentum, but you wonder or we question because these guys are professionals they're getting paid you know whatever why can't they respond he was when he was talking about being um spent or having nothing left he wasn't talking about physically yeah he was talking about emotionally broke though it broke

them yes so four threes in a row and in the way he was doing it, he dismantled them emotionally. He was in their heads. That's what he's talking about. So all of that aspect of the game is very real. That you can basically render somebody useless into the point of giving up. Yeah, it is great. And that's kind of what he was saying there and luca's very good at that very good as great as dirk is well he's mean that's

a thing is like dirk would could put up the exact same numbers but it felt different it was felt demoralized it was very clean when dirk would do it and you were kind of in awe that that this guy was seven feet tall and and making the shots that he was making and with luca you're kind of scared of him yeah like when he walks on the court you the sample size is big enough now you've seen enough to know what this cat's about and you're already i think you're at a disadvantage walking onto the court the second 77 takes the ball. That's how Jordan was. That's how Kobe was. And that's the thing is that high school basketball coaches would hit you with, yeah, two points is two points.

Or this three is the same as that three. That's kind of my point. We're all professionals. They're just baskets. No, no, what I'm saying is the weight of how it's being done and who's doing it is is powerful yeah powerful to demoralize you and i think that flashy plays do that to people i think when somebody does something i mean and just said it like four and four just a couple steps inside half core yeah it's still only worth three but at some point you're like what am i I'm not going all the way out there every time.

You're right. It just beats you down mentally. Basically bubble butt waltz me into the lane and dish it out for somebody else to make a three or some wild ass fade away. But I did think hearing Ant talk about this was really cool. I'm only going to play like another minute. I like how he's kind of jolly about it. Yeah, I mean, he is

kind of like, and this is, I think, on the car ride home. They showed him in the tunnel. You can barely hear it, but he went over to Luca, and he's like, man, I'm super happy for you. Go win it. And, you know, obviously, you can say we'll be right back here next year, but who knows? I mean, there's absolutely

no guarantee the Mavericks make it to the conference finals this year, but here's the last one. Wevericks make it to the conference finals this year. But here's the last one. We thought we was going to sweep them. Soon we won game seven. We like, yeah, we did, boys, cook. We know what's going on. We did underestimate them.

That's just honestly what happened. That's why we lost. Damn, bro. I'm happy for them, though. I ain't going to lie. I'm happy for them. I'm happy for Kyrie. But we just don't make other players beat us. mean at this point is too late to talk about it

So it don't even matter but I'm happy for Kyrie that like he get a chance to go back to the finals without Brian Show people like you don't need like yeah Yeah, I'm happy for him. I'm mad. I ain't gonna chop it up with him after the game but All right for Luca to happy back a lot of years i'll be back i'll be back and better man good told my teammates pick out his and take your losses how you take your wins man chin up man let's move on be all right i really like cool man i really like that guy who's filming him on on the drive home? Netflix. It's him, his wife in the back of a big SUV, and Netflix is there.

They go to his house afterwards. They had that much access. Yeah. That's crazy. But they only do it for five players, but they're there all the time. Okay. And you said LeBron's playing to the camera and doing the LeBron thing? Yeah.

Okay. I find that to be somewhat insufferable at times. Yes, it really is. The first scene that we played before was his Halloween party, and he's like, everyone knows how much I love Halloween. I guess I've seen before he has big Halloween parties, but it's just – Did he show you his library full of books with marks on page three? That's right. This is my library yeah he's just so insufferable at times but anthony edwards is

awesome in this show like when they get home he's walking up and he's all tired he's like what the fuck is that and he lives in minnesota kind of like out in the suburb country and he's like oh fucking frog netflix zooms in on a frog kind of jumping by his front door it's hilarious like he's a funny funny dude and he's so young he's so likable man he knows it because at the end of this the the episode he's like your prime is at 26 he's like i'm doing this at 21 22 and he's just look out. But the same could be said for Luka. So the Mavs, you can watch them. How old is Luka now? 22, 23?

22, probably, right? Oh, my God. How am I this wrong? 25? Luka's 25? He was 22 when Kidd took over. That's right. Okay.

So he'll be 26. February. Early in the season, yeah. It's during the season Yeah yeah And Anthony Edwards Right now 22 sounds right 23

Same birthday as me I'm sure you needed to know that Alright well that is That's where the similarities end Oh hey Hey Today's news is brought to you by Lone Star That's where the similarities end. Uh-huh. Oh, hey. Hey. Today's news is brought to you by Lone Star.

Man, I want to say something about Lone Star. So when a company gets naming rights, say for AT&T, to get their name on the stadium, they pay a lot of money for that, right? Mm-hmm. name on the stadium they pay a lot of money for that right lone star is the official beer of the entire state of texas yeah and you know how much they paid for that how much nothing why they called texas and said hey man we want to be the official state beer of texas and texas goes yeah that all makes sense just do it because you already are now we'll just make it official isn't that amazing like what what could be more synonymous with this state than lone star beer i don't know how about nothing yeah authentically texan uh they now have a lone star light which

comes in a blue can which is delicious you're a big fan i'm uh you're a blue can guy or red can guy i love the red can. I love the original. But as far as light beers go, Lone Star Light is awesome. They also have awesome merch. I think I wear their... I forget what they call it, but the little cowboy on the back. Yep. They got awesome merch.

DumbZone21 is your promo code to get 21% off merchandise. Why 21? Because you got to be 21 or older to purchase. That don't makes sense. Crisp flavor, perfect with a tray of barbecue, really perfect with anything. Lone Star. Speaking of that merch real quick,

a buddy of mine makes all of their merch in Fort Worth, Texas. And I happened to acquire one of the Lone Star shirts. Not in China? No. No, in Fort Worth. I mean, look, we get it, L you're texas no one's arguing with you buddy of mine was in town from the uk and i gave him one of those lone star shirts you you you think that i would have given him like a brand new fender stratocaster he was so

excited because he loves texas and what could be more texas than that t-shirt because it says Lone Star. Thank you Lone Star. Here's Jake with the Dumb Cell News. You know who that guy is on that voiceover Danny? No but he says that kind of snotty. He does. I like it. He is uh the guy who voiced one of Blake's Nintendo games Halo. the guy who voiced one of Blake's Nintendo games, Halo. Are you serious? You do know Halo is the most popular video game in the world. Not currently, but as far as

charisma. Charisma? It's a very... What does that even mean? It just means that people are passionate about it. A lot of people's first shooter is why people were buying Xbox consoles. It's a big deal. Did you say it was the lot of people first shooter is why people were buying xbox consoles it's a big deal did you say it was the first first person shooter no i said it was the reason why a lot of people bought the original xbox but you treat it like i'm playing pikmin or something

over here what the hell's pikmin exactly is that a game yeah it's cool you got these little things that followed you around you could they would do what you told them to. I'm sorry. What is he talking about? I don't know, man. I thought this was the news. I'll be the judge here. Is it P-I-K-M-I-N? I want to play the video game that has things following you around and you tell them what to do. P-I-K-M-I-N.

I think that's just called schizophrenia. Pikmin was cool. They usually tell you what to do. That's true. Hush up. I'm not going to murder my family. Get out of here. Alright, I thought this was the news. That's for you to decide.

So there is a wild wild criminal justice situation unfolding here in the state of Texas. Robert Robertson III he is facing execution today. situation unfolding here in the state of Texas. Robert Robertson III. He is facing execution today. If you've not followed this story, 57-year-old guy was convicted back in 2003 capital murder for reportedly shaking his then two-year-old daughter,

Nikki, to death out in Palestine. I can't handle stories like this. She, the first time I read about this case, I thought, how did this go down like this? She was very, very ill. The little girl. She had pneumonia. They'd been to multiple doctors multiple times. And then she died.

They say that she had trauma consistent with abuse. Then she died. They say that she had trauma consistent with abuse. There was a detective in the case that supported the prosecution. And now there is new science, new technology in solving crime. And they've tried to use some of these laws like i think it's called the junk science law to go back and re-adjudicate some of these cases there was a guy cameron todd willingham i believe that was also texas i know it was and the fire science back then as far as like looking at a building that was burned and how they determined

where the fire was coming from and how it started is like night and day from when he was put to death and his attorneys were trying to say like yeah this case was 20 years ago you know this most commonly it's dna yeah that's kind of the the arson equivalent of dna maybe and they would say you know there's people that are like, no, the people who were doing this sort of fire science, Blake, back then, like all science, it's better now. We should take that into account.

That's what the that's what his defense attorneys, of course, are saying. And now, he has been subpoenaed by the House in Texas. The House committee is calling for him to testify at noon on Monday in Austin. He's set to be executed tonight.

Uh-oh. Which he will not be able to testify, I gather, if that unfolds as currently planned. So all the articles about this on all of our local sites, they try to get an expert to weigh in on this. And they're like, look, I have no idea what this means because this doesn't happen. You know, it's not, nobody gets a subpoena served to them 18 hours before they're set to met their maker. We don't know what's going to happen. But it's a big enough deal to where a pretty huge swath of bipartisan support in the Texas house, including Jeff Leach,

who I believe is like the Frisco area and all that. He's a huge ticket listener. Have written to Abbott and been like, we have to do something about this. And the detective that gave a vehement testimony in favor of his conviction has since completely flipped on that and said, the more we look at this, I made a massive mistake. This dude is undoubtedly innocent,

and he would be the first person I believe ever put to death for the shaken baby law. This, I wish I had the details in front of me, but maybe several weeks ago, it sounds similar to that case of the death row inmate, Missouri, maybe, similar to that case of the death row inmate missouri maybe where a lot of evidence and people people that were in law enforcement were going back on saying no no no no we've seen there there's better evidence that proves that this guy may not be the one.

It was supposed to be carried out, his execution, and they just rushed to get it done. Yeah. And I don't understand the death penalty states that when stuff like this happens, why can't you just say, you know what? Let's hold off a day. Let's listen to this. just say you know what let's hold off a day let's listen to this they're so the governors are so adamant rack up numbers making sure these things are carried out by the letter of the law and there's no room for because look man after tonight you don't get to do this over right and i i can And I can only imagine what I would feel like if I was one of the victims of something that put me in a position where I had to deal with a perpetrator and his execution and his actions directly affected my life in a way, I can't say that I'd be like, you know what? Yeah, he needs to die. Or if I would have any empathy at all, I'm not in that position.

I never have been. So it would be foolish for me to say definitively one way or the other. The one thing that I don't love about the death penalty is the irreversibility of the sentence once it's complete. And it's a shame because I'm sure a lot of folks have been executed the sentence once it's complete. And it's a shame.

Because I'm sure a lot of folks have been executed that absolutely did nothing or didn't deserve it. What if... If they're in jail for life without parole... It's not as bad. It's not as bad.

What if... And they gotta live with those thoughts in their head every day. What if someone is put to death unjustly? It's every day. What if someone is put to death unjustly? It's pretty bad. What if they were put to death unjustly after losing their two-year-old daughter to illness and being blamed for her death? Honestly, at some point you might rather die.

Let's just fucking end this. Yeah. Because I'm tired of people thinking I killed my daughter. Whatever's on the other side might be better that's honestly my that he i bet he's arrived at that point if in fact he did nothing yeah yeah yeah because you're just you're hopeless and so apparently texas did pass a law in 2013 that i mentioned the junk science law which the idea of it is that when new scientific evidence, pioneering research and evidence is emerging, that new trials will take place in cases where flawed scientific evidence was used. But apparently that doesn't happen all that often.

Texas Tribune article says the state's highest criminal court has rejected most of those challenges because nobody likes admitting being wrong once you get a case yeah in the black it you don't you don't put that horse back in the barn right it's not like if you uh if you if you get a win and it and somebody uh ends up getting killed it's not like if you win a national championship in college and they put an asterisk on it. You still won. You still got it. This is like actual life, and it's real.

So it's going to be fascinating to see how this unfolds over the day because who's in charge? The parole board, which recently denied his request? The governor, right? The governor, ultimately, yeah. But I think the hope is that if they subpoena him, he testifies, then they can get to Abbott. And because it's a lot of Republicans on board, maybe he doesn't have to take a political loss if he backtracks on it. That nothing will piss off a detective or a DA more than new evidence that might exonerate your arrest. I know.

They hate that. Hey, video man, will you do an image search for me for something real quick? Is it possible or is that crazy? I just thought of this. So I told you that guy's name was Jeff Leach. Big ticket listener. I think he's Plano Addison. I don't know.

He's up there in the north somewhere beyond the wall. Search Jeff Leach Tony Romo. I feel like Rogan when he does that now. Jimmy, search that. They just sit there for 10 minutes trying to pull up Google. Well, they don't have Rob. So Jeff Leach, what I remember about him is the Texas legislature did some sort of weird deal for Tony Romo. They honored him.

Do you remember this, Blake? Why? He appeared, this is back in 2017, like he had just retired. And they honored Tony Romo for making it to the divisional round. And the photo that was taken on the floor of the house that day down in Austin was absolutely hilarious. Because Jeff Leach, in full house member gear, suit and everything, and the very fancy floor of the house, he's wearing that and also just a Cowboys football helmet. Wearing a helmet? It's amazing. floor of the house. He's wearing that and also just a Cowboys football helmet. Wearing a helmet?

That's amazing. It's a really funny image, but I also forgot that I might need this and forgot to tell Rob about it. So we're going to do another story. So Romo got to do that. He got to play with the Mavs for a game. He got a pretty big send-off for not making a title game.

Well, because the team didn't do anything. The team did nothing. What did Troy get? Pat on the back? Yeah, not much. Bunch of concussions? Yeah, let's celebrate Romo, though. So apparently one of the guys from One Direction was having a bit of a tough time.

Liam Payne, who many people kind of describe to me is like uh the least famous one who's the most probably harry styles big harry styles that guy's super famous but below him uh there's a guy named zane zane that i think had some good songs. Zayn. I recognize Zayn. I listen to pop music. Because of the kids? No. Because of rehab? No.

I like. Because he's gay. I like Harry Styles. He's gay. There's a couple Zayn songs I like. I like. Dude. My workout playlist.

A lot of Katy Perry. Dua Lipa. Carly Rae Jepsen, Dua Lipa. Pretty much anything but Taylor Swift. I don't vibe with Taylor Swift at all. I like Fireworks. I don't know that. Or Firework by Katy Perry.

That's a good jam. Oh, yeah, that's a great song. Cool, man. Hit me like a firework. Yeah, there's Jeff Lee shooting at us. The hat looks a little big, doesn't it? He's got a suit on with a cowboy helmet. It looks Photoshopped.

It does. It's not. Trust me. No chin strap. No. None. He's like, look at me. I got a helmet on, and I'm a Texas congressperson.

Let's go. So back to One Direction. Liam Payne. He was 31 years old. He had had some dalliances with the treatment centers himself. Dealt with addiction for a long time. Well, he was in Argentina.

And he's now dead in Argentina. Oh! Yeah. So, this started surfacing yesterday afternoon and it was a wild story because he had posted to Snapchat roughly an hour before his death was reported from his hotel room. But apparently he got real messed up, uh, on all sorts of drugs, drank a whole lot,

and then started trashing his hotel room and some uh i guess maids i don't know what you would call them at a hotel house cleaners called 9-1-1 that call is public it's in spanish but the manager called 9-1-1 as well about hey there's a guy here aggressive man who's under the influence of drugs or alcohol while he was trashing that hotel room in Argentina, he either intentionally or inadvertently jumped from the balcony of his room. Holy crap. What floor?

I think the third. Yeah. And now the photos of his room have surfaced. It's, you know... Grim. Wax and crumpled aluminum foilaced. It's, you know, grim, wax and crumpled aluminum foil, a smash TV, a bottle of whiskey,

a glass of champagne, all the accoutrement of rock star life. I mean, it's, you know, a bunch of matches and yeah. I think he was worth like 70 million. I'm sorry, what? Yeah. I don't think you understand how big these bands are.

I mean, a lot of them don't end up making that much money because they don't have any rights to their stuff. Sure. But when you're that big, you end up on pretty solid footing. Tours and whatnot. If that guy, the third tier One Direction man, is worth $70,000, and he probably didn't write a damn song. Do you want to do Harry Styles?

No, what I'm thinking of is how rich are the people that own the publishing for that music? That's a good question. I mean, he had to make that money largely off of merchandising and touring. Yeah. That's crazy. The people that own the publishing, you don't know their name. They're the man behind the man behind the man behind the throne,

and they go and have sex at Diddy's freak parties and have tunnels to Epstein's house. Yeah, 70 mil. He's gone, folks. I did see some funny. The thing with social media is just the speed at which something can become a joke. He jumped in one direction and it was straight down yeah and nobody's even mad at you for making that joke no there's no that's good there's no such

thing as too soon no you've completely eliminated that i mean hell the trump assassination yeah for sure really anything i mean it took us like 10 years to start being like okay saudi arabia flew two planes into the world Center, that's at least kind of funny. You couldn't joke about AIDS for a really long time. Right. Well, you could when it was happening. What do you mean? No, when it was new.

People joked then? Oh, yeah. Okay, cool. Cool. I'm glad. But then once they realized that it wasn't okay to do that, then it was bad. And now it's fun again. Yeah'm glad. But then once they realized that it wasn't okay to do that, then it was bad, and now it's fun again.

Yeah. Yeah. Seriously, dude. We're on crossover dribble. Nobody's making jokes about 9-11 or Vietnam, and truthfully, you probably shouldn't. But people do, and now, I mean, I saw one that was like, man, it was like a screenshot of a text exchange

from a couple of really big One Direction fans. They were like, this is horrific. This is probably, they're English people, right? Yeah. English fans are like, this had to have been what it was like for our parents when one of the Beatles died. And the first reply was like, well, maybe Ringo. He's still alive.

I know, but I guess they're just trying to make sure we know Liam's place in the hierarchy. Let's work on your crossover dribble. Your mother called it. All right, so what does the name Demetrius Flimmery mean to the two of you boys? Demetrius Flinnery is better known as Big Meech. Keep going. Big Meech referenced in many, many hip-hop songs over the years,

including most recently a Pusha T song, Where Were You When Big Meech Brought the Tigers Out. the years including uh most recently a push a t song where were you and big meach brought the tigers out he would just walk actual live tigers into a club yeah none of this is registering big meach was one of the largest he related to big crit no because they both say big big, not a hip-hop artist. He was one of the biggest drug traffickers in America for about 20 years. In America? Yeah. Okay. Money laundering.

He was running the streets all over America. He was the El Chapo of the United States. Pretty much. Okay. He did 20 years. What was his net worth? Was it more or less than $70 million? I think it was less at the time of arrest, I'm going to say.

But who knows? At his peak, maybe he had racked up Liam Payne money. But 50 Cent is going to do apparently a documentary and TV series about Meech because he is now out of prison after 20 years and serving a few more years in a halfway house. Again, this is him right here. This is Big Meech on the screen. Referenced in, I don't know, dude, at least 10 rap songs that I can think of right now. Now, when I think of Big Meech, i think of a political ad that i saw some years ago this i want to say was from 2018 and it was an ad a republican primary ad in south carolina okay

and this guy is running for this uh this candidacy and he puts out a political ad where he says he's gonna just try to get in front of a few things which is a i commend the strategy and here's that ad for the audio people will just listen to this guy he's got a shaved head he's a smallish white man looks like mr. Clean but small very well put together and he's got a really interesting voice for a guy who's a cop from South Carolina trying to sell you on tough on crime I'll be the first

to tell you I'm not perfect I've made mistakes and I wish I could change a thing or two but that's part of life learning, growing, moving forward and becoming a better person. That's why I want to tell you at the start of my campaign some things that politicians would try to hide. Things my opponents may try to use to tarnish my integrity.

As a 16-year-old, I received a ticket for not having my driver's license in my possession. I've been married, divorced, and remarried. I've lost my temper and been reprimanded at work. It happens to the best of us. I've been in fender benders that were my fault. Okay.

And about 10 years ago, as a young police officer, I attended a law enforcement Halloween party dressed as ruthless drug kingpin Big Meech Flannery. I did it to disparage

a criminal whose actions hurt our community and country. That was a different time. It was. Today we understand that type of costume is troubling to many. Now back to me, hold the baby. Skip the quick image I showed of me in full blackface to a point where I have done all of my dome up top, all of my arms, and he's got like a fubu shirt on oh my goodness right before that

i bet he was a big hit yeah i mean look he's posing with another officer who is in fact a black woman who seems to find the costume hilarious i like his excuse the reason he dressed up like big meech is to disparage his name. Yeah. And he leaned in hard on the bit. Man. And about 10 years ago, I had a law enforcement Halloween party. How old is that video? I think it's 2018 or 2019.

And I also love that. So grainy. I love the groundwork of the way he tried to lay it. He's like, I have been in theater business that are my fault. He's leading you along like, buddy, we're on your side. That happens to everybody. I have been divorced. So what? Most of us have been divorced. Not a big deal.

And about five years ago, I was waiting for it to escalate. I did full blackface to a degree that you've probably never even seen before. That's right, but I did it to disparage a terrible, terrible criminal. Ain't big meat. Oh, man.

And finally, a local story here that ended in death. This is the story of a deadly Dallas love triangle. Shout out to Fox 4's website for that banger of a headline. One killed in Southeast Oak Cliff shooting. This happened over at the Estill Village Apartments. And multiple witnesses say that they saw a shooting occur, the suspect leaving in a silver. Anybody want to guess?

I don't care if people say this is racist. You're close. PT Cruiser. Come on. What? Play for real. I'll give Rob one more because he was close. PT Cruiser. Come on. What? Play for real. I'll give Rob one more because he was close. Dodge Charger.

Yes. Mino drives a Charger. I think he drives... Or has he got the Challenger? Yeah, it's a Charger. Okay. But yeah, those are both very popular. So Mino killed someone?

Oh, no. I don't think so. The Challenger's the two-door. I think that. So Mino killed someone? Oh, no. I don't think so. The challenge is the two-door. I think that's what Mino had. I'm more impressed that he was in a love triangle, if that's the case. With a back like that? So there was a man, 36-year-old man, shot in the parking lot. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he died.

The officers had actually had contact with the deceased and the suspect before the shooting happened just a few minutes before they took down that license plate number so these two guys are beefing in the parking lot the cops show up and they're like all right you guys scram get out of here and they took the guy who left's license plate well that guy turned around with a cop's gun came back and shot him suspect is 22 year 22-year-old Alonzo Green. He was found about five miles away in the Redbird neighborhood. They arrested him. He had blood on his shoes, and the gun was found inside the charger.

Did you not immediately go into cover-up mode? Maybe he had more work to do. What if he needed it? He told detectives he drove from his home to the parking lot and shot Brown. What you should have asked for was a lawyer. So, one witness who was there admitted that she was in a sexual relationship with both Green and Brown, and they had recently been arguing with each other over their relationship with her. That's her?

No, sir. You know that's not her. That's her? No, sir. You know that's not her. That's the shooter. She's beautiful. I get it now. Yeah, I just can't. I don't know. I think the interesting thing about it is the age discrepancy.

I want to know how old she is. So he's 22. And the deceased is 36. The victim's 36. Okay. She's probably closer to 22 is my guess. Yeah, you're probably right. And the 22-year-old is mad because.

Why are you dating old man? Yeah. And the old man is probably i'm gonna assume maybe a little bit better off financially it typically goes typically not always not even most of the time i i suppose but yeah let's uh let's just say you know he's offering somethings look i mean right now is he the one in the charger no the 22 year Charger's a nice car. Yeah. You're right. But as a guy who is in his late 30s, I can tell you right now, I am at my sexual peak. So I understand if that's what she was after. I totally get a 22-year-old being threatened by virility right now.

I'm still waiting for mine. Yeah, no, that's crazy because that just means it's... Does it get any better, Rob? I think it gets better into your 50s, yeah. Okay. Yep, that's crazy because that just means it's... Does it get any better, Rob? I think it gets better into your 50s, yeah. Okay. Yep, that's what they say. That's why pharmaceutical companies push all those pills at 13-year-olds. Yep.

Because they need it. All right, Blake, there's your news. The Dumb Zone News. Like and subscribe. Today's Today in History. Yeah, Blake. See, I got a lot of pages open. Uh-huh.

So I got to scroll down. Okay. Qualis. Qualis. How could I forget? I don't know. Qualis Roofing. Tell me about it, Blake.

Let's see. Well, they can do it all. What all is that? Well, obviously, they do your roof. Do your roof inspection if you need it. Yep. I also found out they do carports if you're into that. So it kind of sounds like any general construction you need,

which is probably why they threw GC on their website. It's all making sense. They can do it. They're huge fans of the show. And if you get a roof with Qualys, you will get a studio visit on Qualys. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. We've heard from p1s who have uh p1s i can still say that it doesn't matter whatever they won't see hardwired we've heard from listeners who have actually had qualis out and said why would i go with anyone else besides qualis we got some weird weather here in tejas and uh the insurance companies say you

probably want to have that thing checked out twice a year. So when you're going to do that, do it with Qualys. Have them out. Have them check it out. Their number, 817-500-9008, like Blake said. They'll pay for a 690 on your behalf. Just for the inspection, they'll give you a free DZ t-shirt to any listener. So like I said, have them out. They'll do the roof repair. Also, storm restoration services, roof maintenance, carports, like Blake said. Don't take any risks when it comes to the roof. It's literally just protecting your house. You want to live without a roof?

No. Good. You don't have to. What am I, a caveman? With Qualis Roofing. I guess a caveman has a cave so caves have roofs that's right get out of the stone age with qualis roofing at qualisgc.com it's a good idea i didn't prepare anything for this i hope hope someone's got this. We got you.

Oh, you don't? No one said anything. It's Blake's. This is Blake's bit. He said, let me do it. Well, let's see what I can quickly find about today. Okay. I guess it's October 17th, the 291st day of the year.

There are 75 days left in the year. Let me think. Back in 1610, King Louis Vis viii age nine was crowned yeah they would do that on you man i think i'd i'd ride with baron and baron like 6 10. yeah that's what i'm saying dude he a baller. Do you think he can dunk? Yes. Yeah. Are you sure? If you play sports at all, and yesterday I was watching, yesterday I was watching Barron Trump's soccer highlights. Why?

Yo, because it's hilarious. How do you have time? Well, it was just like somebody put it together on Twitter. Okay. And he was like, you know, he's 6'9 now. Is he really 6'9? Yeah. Good grief. But he was like 6'3, 6'4 when he was

probably 12 or 13. I'm afraid Malcolm's going to be stupid tall. And him playing soccer... That's great. Look, let me put it this way. If you are 6'8 or over and not in the NBA, you're pretty much just a waste of of carbon yeah you want to be like six three six four yeah six five is pushing it probably got

a big dong though yeah you kid packing bro yeah look at barrett. He does okay. All right? He does okay. That's what I'm saying, too. Look at him. Do that again. He's so big. Man, that's awesome. He's so big. In 1931, mobster Al Capone was convicted in Chicago of income tax evasion. That's what they got him on.

Yep. And didn't he die in prison of syphilis? I think so. I know he had it. Syphilis killed a lot of our famous leaders. Didn't George Washington have it? That's what I've been led to believe. I think they all did, dude.

Christopher Columbus had it. So this was all pre-penicillin, right? Yes. When did penicillin get invented? Early 20th century, right? No, wait. Al Capone died after that maybe he was an anti-vaxxer yeah probably so he's really into

jenny mccarthy in 19 1928 is penicillin so you know around the time but yeah no let's check this out uh lots of crazy people uh Christopher Columbus, Cortez, Benito Mussolini, and Ivan the Terrible all sift out. Hitler. All the mean people. That's what I'm saying.

Do you not know about syphilis, bro? Syphilis comes for your brain. Really? Yeah, it's a neurodisease at some point. It's not just a discharge, you know? God, look at him. That's a neurodisease at some point. It's not just a discharge, you know? That's what I'm saying, man. You're telling me, like, if he's played sports at all, he gets 6'9"?

Dude, he is a stretch four playing soccer. Yeah. You tell me that kid can't dunk at 6'9"? He's just walking. That's all he needs to do. I love that he's number 81. Aaron Hernandez. It's just not a soccer number in 1978 president carter which i did love this yesterday or was it today yeah liam payne died

jimmy carter jimmy carter outlived liam payne right that's a fun one yeah anyway he signed a bill restoring u.S. citizenship to Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Woke. In 2018, recreational marijuana became legal to buy in Canada, making it the second country in the world to legalize the drug after you're a gay. It's Uruguay. Wait, can you know that? Birthdays, former Ranger John Rocker is 50. Oh, man.

Those were fun times. That's a hard 5-0, my man. I was genuinely excited when the Rangers got him on board. I'm not surprised. He was useless. Danny Ferry is 58. Dan. Ernieerry's 58. Dan.

Ernie L's 55. Very funny. Very strange audio. Very strange. When Martine Rowley was out at a golf tournament and was playing up the over-sexualized female reporter with Ernie Els and Vijay Singh. Well, Vijay was looking for a little bit of a sexual favor. He wanted to take him for a long flight home. Kind of went England on the end there.

Vijay is so uncomfortable in that audio. He's laughing, but he's still somewhat interested. Yes. He kind of wants to see how it plays out. He's drunk. Holly Holm is 43. who's that the MMA fighter oh I remember she take down Rousey I don't know okay I don't know why I asked I don't care uh Matthew McFadden is 50. McFadden uh from wab scams and succession oh wow that Oh wow Man I was really pissed off When I found out he was British

Shocking Why didn't he tell anybody I know That's why I ride with Cousin Greg American Astronaut Mae Jemison is 68 I'm going to say that was the first black woman in space The bio note here Is first black woman in space, and then it says a twofer.

She did it twice? No, because they got to check two boxes there. Oh. It doesn't say that. It says it. It says that because Blake made the list. Or because Dan made the list. Well, Blake's doing this off the top of his head.

That's right. All of the history. Let's see, what else? A twofer. Alan Jackson is 66. Hell yeah. Here to capitalize on people's emotions. Yes.

Chattahoochee, man, right? Good stuff. Five o'clock somewhere. I've karaoke-ed the shit out of Chattahoochee. I bet you have. I bet you have. I bet you have. And people go, whoa. Yeah.

Mike Judge is 62. The legend. Wood Harris is 55. Wood Harris? The Wire. He is Avon Barksdale. His name's Wood? Yeah.

Wood. No kidding. He's not just Avon Barksdale. His name's Wood? Yeah. Wood. No kidding. He's not just he's not just named on Barksdale. What was he in recently that was really good? He's Julius. An Apple show. Julius with

What was that? Did you watch that Rob? Yeah, yeah. With Natalie Portman. That was really good. Forget what it was. Richard Roper is 65. Chris Kirkpatrick from NSYNC is 53. Wyclef John is 55.

Ziggy Marley is 56. So Wyclef, I think he's probably got some Kemp spins. You know, people were mad at him for the way that the funds to Haiti were working. But what I really remember about him. Was he a misappropriating pick? Yeah, I think he might have been. Can you misappropriate anything other than funds? That's what I'm saying.

That's a good question. That definitely belongs on our list. And you can appropriate something. Right. Culturally. Yeah. What I remember was in 2016, Zaza Petrulia was on the Mavs, and I have no idea why, but Wyclef was super stoked on him.

What you're saying is jarring my memory about this. And he almost got Zaza Pachulia in the NBA All-Star game. Let me see if this plays. I bet it won't, but yeah, that won't play through there. But he just wrote like a little song and posted a Twitter video of him singing about za za for julian okay so i put misappropriate funds on the list it is sandwiched between living breathing constitution yeah it's like the only document that right live and breathe yes and much maligned right who's ever just maligned. Right. Who's ever just maligned?

You got to do it much. Oh, that much maligned Cowboys defense. That's true. And Jake and me, Eminem is 52. Wow. Wow. Pound for pound. Dude.

You got to question, is he the GOAT? Of course he is. he's definitely a top three mc i don't know if he's a top three artist mount rushmore for sure right no question yeah i would say so i mean outside of rap i mean definitely on rap but how about all music i think uh well i don't know about that. Who's on? Okay. Give me Mount Rushmore of rap. Well, it depends.

Obviously, it depends on your era. I know it's all subjective. Yeah, and I think also- But as far as in totality, what would you do? I mean, Em's definitely on there. Yeah, I mean, lyrically, he might as just a lyricist or a rhymer, he might be the top. But artist-wise,

I'm still... You've got to have Jay-Z. Agreed. You probably have to have... You and I are two for two. You probably have to have Pac and Biggie. I'm just going to take the chalk here. What about Nas? You might have to have Nas was the next one I was thinking. And I don't... Okay, so if you had to split between Pac and Biggie, who do you split between? You might have to have Nas was the next one I was thinking. And I don't know. Okay, so if you had to split

between Pac and Biggie, who do you split between? You go Pac or do you go Biggie? Personally. Who'd you say? I would take Biggie, personally. I listen to a lot more Biggie. So if you had Biggie, J, Nas, and M, would that be okay? But also, people who

are 10, 15 years older than me with like Cool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, stuff like that. Big L for... Large Professor. Yeah, I don't... I can't speak on all that stuff that much. I went and saw Common last month. Common's basement.

That was one of the best... Where was it? At the place over by the Mavs facility. Echo Lounge? Yeah, at Echo Lounge. It was incredible. Like one of the better shows I've seen in ages as a show. Yeah, I believe it, dude.

Common's Basement Evolution. And Pete Rock was with him too. I'm not surprised. Yeah. Basement Evolution is entirely produced by Kanye, and it's incredible. That's the one. That's the new album, right? No, it's the first one of the first ones first okay okay but he still does songs from it he did he did the food on Chappelle

with Kanye well his whole stage set was to look like a basement I mean it was essentially a one act play with him and rock up there going through the history the 50-year history of hip-hop yeah it was incredible anyway it's awesome sorry to yeah no so i don't know that i because like also there's artists that have some of my favorite albums that i wouldn't put on mount rushmore like clips hell hath no fury maybe my favorite album outside Doubt, but I wouldn't put clips up there. You know who cares about this? Probably no one. Except Danny and I. I'm going to flip this order. We're going to go dead on this day, still dead first. Because we just have Michael Hossack. Danny? Michael Hossack?

Is that a music dude? The drummer for the Doobie Brothers. No, I don't know him. Born on this day, now dead. We have a couple big ones. Evil Knievel. Oh, okay. I'm older than you guys. Rob, you probably remember this.

Sitting around the TV sometime in the 70s. That sounds awesome. Watching him attempt to jump Snake River Canyon. Was that like Montanaana or something i was at colorado i don't even know nevada oh hell yeah it's i've seen well this was in the rocket thing this was this was hyped so much yeah this is caesar's palace is this when he crashed dude there's one where he wipes out so bad and it happened the next day at school everybody said evil kenevil broke every bone in his body but his skull yeah i love that

every solid bone out of what is it 212 or 203 i'm gonna with you. Yeah. He broke 200 of his bones in that motorcycle accident. You talk about bang the hype ratio on the Snake River Canyon jump. That was a whole lot of nothing. He knew how to sell it, though. Yeah. That was like whacking off drunk for an hour

and then just quitting because you know it's not going to happen. Watching that fucking thing thing is there anything more depressing than the moment you give up it's not because you and here's why let me tell you why because for at least a couple minutes you've been thinking about giving up but you didn't that doesn't help when you start the second the thought is your mind, I should probably stop, that's when you should stop. No, you're like, maybe.

I don't know. I think I got it. I think I can overcome this. Back in your mind, you're like, there's not a chance. Give it up, kid. Throw in the towel. It's four in the morning. You got to get up the next day.

You got to do better. You wake up with a completely unused tissue and like half your pants. All right. What else, Blake? Why do you want to stop? Speaking of like playground rumors, this guy was another one, at least in my era. Robert Atkins. He invented the Atkins diet.

Oh, wow. Yeah, everybody's mom was on that. Yeah, and I always heard, you know, he died from a heart attack because of his own diet. I don't think so. That's what we were spreading. I don't think that's true. Well.

All he ate was meat, eggs, and cheese for every meal. He just ate a buttload of bacon. Seriously. Well, it does say that his coronary arteries were 30 to 40% blocked, so that does... Could be hereditary. That does, yeah.

All right, Margot Kidder, the original Lois Lane, was born on this day, now dead. Irene Ryan, the granny from Beverly Hillbillies. Rita Hayworth, and then... a big one. And this is why, honestly, Dan's not here today. He took time off to mourn?

Norm MacDonald. Whoa. Oh, wow. Born on this day, now dead. How long has he been? Two years? I would say three. Three, if I had to guess, but who could say?

So for the open, I couldn't decide between these two. I guess I ultimately did decide. I went with the Norm MacDonald 9-11 joke. But if I didn't pick that one, it was going to be this one. Norm was on Saturday Night Live. Norm tells the best fucking stories about some of those celebrities that went through there. And Matthew Perry had an assistant and said, you know, Matt, he said to Norm, Matt wants to do a sketch that he wants you to be in where he talks like he does on Friends. He calls it Matt Speak.

And Norm said, what are you talking about? He goes, well, you know, he invented a way of talking, the way he talks on Friends, Matt Speak. And he showed him a clip and Norm said, are you talking about sarcasm? Matthew Perry called sarcasm He renamed it math speech Hilarious I think somebody One of the younger writers said

I think Matthew Perry is a genius I think that's what it was And Norm said Is he good at math or something? It's great It's not even Norm telling the joke No So good

Was he good at math or something? And that was Today in History. Well, we did it, folks. How about that? We did it. We'll be back tomorrow on the Patreone. We'll have pics with Dan, with my dad. My dad.

And yeah, until then, holler at me. Adios, mofo. We gotta go before this becomes a zoo. Thank you for watching my video. Subscribe and type for my name if you want to watch more of my videos.
