There's never been a channeling of Chris Farley. And he's standing next to EA. She's all hot. Nervous out of his mind. He's got that little card he's reading from. His suit jacket's way too big somehow. Is it too big or small? He wasn't fat guy in a little coat?

It just didn't fit. It wasn't a tailored look. I thought it was fat guy in fatter coat. Yeah, maybe he had probably dropped a few pounds for the, I'm going to be on the World Series. I got to look good. And look good he did. I'm Dan McDowell.

I'm Jake Cowlick Jones. This is the Dumb Zone. We are broadcasting live to tape from high atop my garage today, and we have a, I don't know if it's a good program, but it's like there's going to be a lot of stuff on it. I'm looking at the run sheet right now. That's a pretty massive coat. Let me check the coat.

That is a big coat. Yeah, it's a big coat. Big man in a big coat. That's the play, though, right? Like if you're not sure as a big fella. Huge. Then people might think you've lost weight. Yeah. Yeah.

But yeah, small coat, fat guy little coat, that's definitely worse. We have a sit-in. In fact, we have two sit-ins high atop my garage. I got this email from Stephanie in August who said, Hi, I wanted a birthday shout-out, please, from my best friend, Tabitha, whose birthday is September 3rd.

She was day one for the ticket. She convinced me 10 years ago to become a P1. We both subscribed to the podcast as soon as we found out about it. Day five. Neither of us are big on X. And that's kind of like where we communicate, I guess, right? Yeah. It's hard to...

I don't know. We don't gram a lot. No. I'm still thinking about getting in. Are you on the gram, Stephanie? Of course she is. Okay. Of course. Is that the big thing? Well, for ladies. Yeah. I don't like Facebook, but I like the gram. According to Stephanie,

Tabitha's leaders are Baldfish, the Rose Twins, Kip, Combative Sarah, and Bud Light Lime Hangover. She has a lot of leaders. All solid, though. Keep up the long podcast, she says. This is a woman whose home life is wanting.

She is looking for any shred of something to make her forget the hellscape that she lives in. She says, secondly, my birthday is in November, so we'd like to do a sit-in in October for both of our birthdays. If you have room, preferably on Friday. Today's not Friday. Nope, but it's Halloween.

It is Halloween. Thank you for knowing that. It's almost Friday., but it's Halloween It is Halloween Thank you for knowing that It's almost Friday This counts So welcome It's basically Friday It's basically Friday So welcome to Stephanie

And Tabitha I like the applause Who I think I'm in love with Tabitha Because I walked in I was out having a little walk A little morning constitutional. You know, you probably heard me when we were on our call this morning. I can tell.

And I come into the garage and Tabitha is in there. And she is organizing the shoes. Like she's putting them. I noticed. You did that? She's straightening them all up. Of course you did. shoes like she's putting them i noticed that she's straightening them all up of course and not just the shoes like that blake and you and you know other you know interlopers have just tossed off

before they uh walk in she like goes into our shoe bin and she's uh stat okay the boots right there and stacked my shoes on each other and i was like, have at it. Keep going. I love it. Yeah, I thought I – like I'm the organized one in the dynamic here in my household. And I think I'm lacking. And she could come in here and straighten it all out. It's always good to have something to strive for, you know? That's why I loved having – College kids going to play with LeBron in the summer and pick up.

My mother-in-law was so great, is so great, but she doesn't visit anymore because she's all real old, like in her 80s or whatever. Doesn't want to fly. I don't know. Old people complaints. She doesn't visit anymore, but when she did, do you remember me telling you?

Oh, yeah. She's like a nervous cleaner. Oh, yeah. If she's bored she'll just uh like what do they call the dusting the thing in in the blinds pretty quick i like it yeah could have been worse yeah no i uh i respect that i'm very much like that myself and i'm and i'm not only like that unlike tabitha i have to make sure as i've said before that everybody knows i'm doing it like i did a quick vacuum of the house before I left today, just now. That

included me having to vacuum under the chair that my wife was sitting in at her desk. Oh my God, is it too loud? Sorry. Cat hair, dog hair, leaves that have been tracked in. I'm like, let's just take care of this real quick. I mean, certainly no one else could. You can't give to charity and not tell everybody about it. That's right. Also, the document says Stephanie J. Do you go by Stephanie J?

Or is that your last name? Last name. Okay, is that okay to be out there or no? It's fine. Oh, okay. It just sounds like another name like uh like a not a last name like a betty lou type thing oh like it's yeah that's what we refer to her as yeah and if you don't mind me saying although jay more of a dude name um maybe but girls have middle names that

are dude names a lot though that's true yeah i. Yeah. I was just going to say that Stephanie J, that either sounds like a morning show DJ or a porn star. Neither. Yeah. I'm just saying, when I saw that name, I was just like, oh. On today's program, Julie Dobbs will join us. What are we doing here? What do you mean? I don't know.

Taking the country from us? A lot of ladies. It is a lot of ladies. It's Lady Thursday. It's going to be 50-50. I don't like that. Well, she won't be up here. We don't want her to drive.

Yeah, we don't want them all sinking off. Yeah, we don't need another lady on the roadways. So yeah, Halloween. Yeah. Did you guys, was the thing last night? Trick-or-treating? No, they usually do it on Halloween.

Oh, okay. Things have not changed since you had kids. Alright. Or ever. Sorry, I don't know what I was thinking. Like, people have Halloween parties, big parties, like throwdowns. Like the weekend before. You know, if you're going to have like a big house party, or we used to go to one out at White Rock that was insane.

The big difference, I guess, in my life with the kids not being here is we're just not over-decorated. The house doesn't know that it's Halloween. Yeah, we're not big Halloween decorators. We'll paint pumpkins with the kids and put them out, but... Paint. Yeah, we got the...

You don't carve pumpkins. We will, but the boy wants... The girl likes to paint. The boy wants to paint. We had the carving kit, but we just kind of gave up, to be honest with you. Okay.

They really like painting them. Yeah. My house is covered in spider webs, and it annoys me. Yeah, we don't do that. Just one day, she had free time, which sounds awesome. Hell yeah. I decided to just throw spider webs and spiders here and ghosts here and just, I don't know. You're done?

Yeah, it is really weird. I get it. I'm sure you is really weird. I get it. I'm sure you guys do it. I get it. It's festive. However, I took a lap around the neighborhood yesterday. Getting on our feet a little bit again? Not yet.

Not where we need to be. Five houses that had Christmas lights up and on. I'm not going to give an excuse. They dressed up for Halloween? I'm not going to give an excuse. But... Cheaper. Yes, and it's cheaper because

they have services now. I'll just tell you we use one. They store the lights for you and they come back and put them on and they take them off. They might decide when they're coming back. Yeah. I get wanting to save money and even a lot of landscape companies are doing this.

Oh yeah, they'll pivot. Rather than take the winter off they'll install Christmas lights. But come on, it's not even November. I'm with you. You should egg those houses. I got a better idea. Why don't we just have them all the time? Always Christmas lights?

They're cool. They are kind of cool. But they become less cool the longer you have them up. Is that what you're saying right now about all these big-time college football matchups that we've never had before? Or are you like, oh, there's another top five game this weekend? I think you know the answer. I don't think UCLA should be playing in the Big Ten.

Of course not. We've talked about that. You think all these big-time college football matchups are going to skew the just records moving forward? It won't be odd to have three lost teams? That's going to be tough, yeah. Well, what's the game of the year going to be? Texas and Texas A&m because that's

a tradition not whoever the hell yeah i don't know that no there's better football now because we have more of it just like will that be more exciting than texas georgia yes it will give us a call okay how about this here's a better example why don't they just play the nfl all year would you be like, no. No, you wouldn't. You'd be like, that's awesome. Christmas lights year-round. No, I think we do need to separate. It's the same reason you don't need to.

Strong point. Yeah, thank you. It's the same reason. You wouldn't want the NFL all year. But back to your house. Don't tempt me with a good time. Yeah, ask me around April. Yeah.

But I'm like, oh, God, they're still playing baseball? The week after opening day. Yeah. But I'm like, oh, God, they're still playing baseball? The week after opening day. Yeah. The spider web thing is interesting because I'm sure there are other instances of this, but it's literally decorating your house with something you spend the rest of the year being like, get this crap. It's something you clean. Like, what if for Thanksgiving you were just like, we're just going to have dust everywhere?

It's something you don't want in your house, like cleaning out little cobwebby type things from underneath your cabinets. Hey, it's October. Let's put them everywhere. It makes no sense. But it's spooky. Fuck spooky. How about that?

I don't like spooky at all. I don't like the neighbor I have that has an inflatable of a headless horseman that I have to explain to my kids every day. Interesting. Why do we need that? And then on the other side, you got F. Joe in the hoe you got to explain. We don't take that route anymore. So I was walking my backyard yesterday You know, grounding Walking barefoot

Trying to become one with Mother Earth And I noticed You look different Thank you There's a glow A little brighter Electrons A lot happier

I noticed these small, perfect holes in the ground And they were just kind of scattered throughout the yard And I didn't quite. And they were just kind of scattered throughout the yard. And I didn't quite know what they were. Animal. Like my dad had. And that's what I was thinking. What could this be? And

I look in one of the holes and I see a pretty big spider. Spiders can dig? Come to find out it's called a big spider. Ooh. Spiders can dig? Come to find out, it's called a wolf spider. I've heard of that, but I didn't know they burrowed.

And I got a hundred holes in my backyard. Oh, dude. You might have to burn your house down. Which is terrifying. Yeah. So it's not one spider that's walking around? No. They said per acre,

there could be like 10,000 of them. What? And so cut it in half for mine. So I probably got 4,000 to 5,000 spiders in my backyard. Well, I've seen these guys. And so, yeah, they said they're pretty easy to spot because they're nocturnal. So if you go in your backyard at night and just shine a flashlight into grass, they'll look at you.

And, Jake, I don't know if your kids have seen Lucas the Spider or not. Not familiar. Okay. So that's what I got in my backyard, and I'm pretty terrified. There was a Texas Monthly article. I read it. Don't squish the wolf spider. And they're trying to tell you that.

They may look creepy, but they're harmless. Right. And that they will only bite if they feel threatened yeah but their big selling point is they eat other insects there you go they'll eat your roaches they'll eat your crickets your grasshoppers your mosquitoes so i don't know i'm torn i'm typically anti-spider they say that about everything though that you're not supposed to kill i guess mosquitoes kind of take the brunt of it as a Satan creation. Do not spin webs. Every time you say you want to kill some sort of insect,

people act like it's going to throw the earth off of its axis. Right, yeah. The butterfly effect on the ecosystem will be irreversible. But they always say, like, oh, they're not going to bite you unless they feel threatened. Well, you know when they feel threatened? When you step near them and you don't know you're there. Yeah, if I didn't have a kid, I'd probably

have to talk shit to them for them to get upset. Hey, bitch. Yeah, they're spiders. They're going to act like spiders. Well, yeah, but Berks is running around at dusk or whatever, playing at night most of the time barefoot. So, yeah, but Brooks is running around, you know, at dusk or whatever, playing at night, most of the time barefoot. So, yeah, I don't know. I'm not quite sure what to do in this situation.

Maybe I will just set my backyard ablaze. Yeah, that'd be cool. You know, you have a real opportunity here for, like, some World War I-type warfare. Like, you could just get a ton of black cats and walk around and just... Drop them in there. Drop them in each one of the holes and just ferret them out that way.

Yeah. I don't know. That's not a good thing. Never heard of this before. I've heard of wolf spiders, and I've seen that spider, but I did not know that they burrowed. That's terrifying.

I didn't know that they could dig holes like that. I didn't know there was a spider called a wolf spider. So yeah, I don't know. Maybe if somebody knows some more about this situation that could help me. Do I kill them or not? I bet somebody can help you out. Oh my god.

Look at that Texas Monthly article, Dan. Look at the one of her carrying her babies. It wouldn't let me. It's paywalled. Yeah, they carry the sack on the back. Do you guys subscribe to Texas Monthly? You don't? I think I actually do now that you say that.

All right, put it on the list. I'll keep that one for myself. Oh, all right. Geez. Yeah, you ever killed a spider that was pregnant? That's a gnarly visual. They just scatter? Yeah.

Now all of a sudden you have... Did you ever have a spider lay an egg in you and then when you scratched it, all the little babies came out? Yeah, it was one of the 12 I... That happens to me all the time. It was one of the 12 I swallowed that year. Yeah.

Did you swallow a spider? No, that's always a stat. Yeah. You swallow a spider while sleeping. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. On average, they say the average human adult swallows 14.6 spiders a year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. And I've Googled it, and it's not true, and I still believe it.

Yeah, that's probably true. Yeah. So what are you going to be for Halloween? Like, will anybody come back here? Oh, in this area no this is a an area where so we moved about a mile away you know years ago and we would just drive back to our old neighborhood just to do the trick-or-treat yeah that's just inundate it's it's nothing but wall-to-wall and i I should ask my buddy Steve.

Steve is very organized. Remember me telling you, you weren't at the garage ProSlat remote, but Steve has the most organized garage I've ever seen. I've always wanted to be like Steve, so that's why we're promoting ProSlat to be more like Steve. He also may be a little bit like... Tabitha. Like Tabitha because he would keep stats every year on how many kids came through.

That's some bruning stuff right there. That he gave candy to. And he would update me every year. Oh, yeah, we're done. We're up. I love that. Yeah. So I'm going to have to check in with Steve.

I don't know what the old neighborhood is looking like. Because it would be creepy if I was to go back just to hang out. Or maybe to go to one of the cul-de-sac parties. Those are always fun. I wish we had something like that. I would guess you don't have a lot of trick-or-treaters either. You live in an older area of Grapevine. Yeah, this is true.

But you do have a cul-de-sac. So you ought to hook up with Datwin and be like, this is true. But you do have a cul-de-sac. You ought to hook up with Datwin and be like, hey man. I have before. Not like that. I have seen him on Halloween before. Yeah, just set up a couple big tables. All the parents are there drinking.

But somehow I got roped into the dressing up with my kids thing now. Yeah, I always did. Well, I just would wear a Superman cape. You love Superman, right? I do. I love Superman. You're stoked on Superman.

Now, of course, I'll probably go more Homelander. You knew it was coming. Yeah. You issued the boys' watch. Yeah. Can't run the ball in first and ten. Yeah, but the weird thing about it is when we're out walking in the neighborhood- If it works. Yeah but the weird thing about it is Like when we're out walking in the neighborhood It doesn't I like doing it

But I'm like one of maybe two dads Out of 200 I'll see tonight Everyone else is just wearing their Normal 30's or 40's white man uniform Oh lean into it dude Which is a polo vest Yeti cap or something

You should dress up It's fun with the kids. Oh, I'm doing it, dude. I was Captain Hook last year, Kristoff from Frozen tonight. Blake, what's your game on that? I will be going as a middle-aged dad tonight. See, he's no fun. I know.

Well, I got my T-shirt and jeans on. Is that not good enough? He's not even wearing an Argyle shirt, so he could be a coordinator. It's the day before. So it's all laid out. Yeah. It's all pressed and ready to go for tomorrow. Ready.

Alright, you We're all stoked on the Mavs You are a little more into it these days I think than you've ever been Even when you used to host the Mavs post-game show Like, you told me you're watching all these games As if they're playoff games Is it because your new Mavs YouTube bit?

I don't know. What is that show called? Round Ball Talk. All right. A little plug. Yep. Search it up on YouTube. It's a Mavs property.

I have no idea what we're doing or how they're letting us do it, but somehow they are. Yeah, I think part of it is that I am so beaten by the Cowboys. There's just nothing fun about it. That's it for me. It's not just that they're bad, they're boring. It's just so early for Mavs season. Doesn't it just feel early?

It's just so long away. It feels early because they played until June. You know what I think I saw? They have never started, or excuse me, only twice have they ever started a season 4-1 and they can do that tonight. They should. Houston's You know what I think I saw? They have never started, or excuse me, only twice have they ever started a season four and one, and they can do that tonight. They should.

Houston's kind of still garbage. Okay. At least last I looked, I saw them play. They were not impressive. But, I mean, the Klay thing is super interesting. I mean, I know he's old, but they added Klay Thompson. They added Klay Thompson to Luka and Kyrie. They're coming off the finals.

The Cowboys suck. I think even if I wasn't doing the round ball talk thing, this is just – I love it. I conveniently now wake up early enough to where I watch the whole game in the morning full of energy. You're still waking up at like 4.30? No. What's early enough then?

3.30 3.30? Yeah When are you going to bed? I get in bed 9.05, 9.10 Fall asleep by like 9.45 Okay, so you're going six hours about Five and a half, yeah

God, you sound really depressed about it I wish I could Are you, like you're feeling it? I feel awesome. Oh, you feel good. Yeah, like I'm working out an hour every morning. I feel incredible. But I don't think this is, like, good.

Yeah. It just can't be. But if you feel good, maybe that's what your body needs. That's what my doctor told me. Like, sleep four hours a night or something? Yeah, and then his move, too, genius, is he doesn't work out because he says that energy is finite. And yeah, you might drop dead at 58, and he'll be rolling at 108.

But yeah, it's interesting. You know, the Mavs have their new broadcast situation. Folliwell's still there. Devin Harris and skin on the home games. Devin Harris on the away games. Devin Harris on the away games. Devin Harris is not really much of a presence. I don't think he's really developed a personality. I will, however, say.

A dynamic radio guest. That was one of the worst interviews we've ever had. He was at the zoo, though, and the zoo is sick. So it's tough to pay attention to anything else. But I do think he's a good analyst. So far. I mean, he's not the first time he's done it. I think he has good basketball insights. He's just, you know, I think about like the Bulls with Stacey King.

And he's just screaming the whole time. But Folliwell does quite a bit of that too. Yeah. It did surprise me when they were playing the Suns and Devin Harris was talking about playing Devin Booker. That was weird to me that they overlapped. Yeah, you'll get some of those. Harris played until 2019.

Yeah, he came back. I guess I didn't realize that. He had a really long career. Yeah. The win the other night was awesome because, as we're going to hear from Luca here in a second, they had a home game followed by a road game the next day. It's the Timberwolves in Minnesota.

There's history there from last year. They got into the hotel super late. They had an earlier game. The Timberwolves are good. They're different because they traded Cat. Now they have Dante DiVincenzo and Randall, but they're going to be good. And Luka still hasn't really had a Luka game.

He's really only had one good game, and it was a game they lost. But it doesn't matter anymore. And even that didn't feel like a game he scored 40. No, it didn't. He might not have really had a good game, period, for Luka. But a couple of them, Klay's been lights out. The other one's Clay was okay. And then Tuesday night's game, Kyrie started a quarter early

and instead of taking over in the fourth, just dominated the third. And they're pretty deep too. Like I feel like every team says that at the start of the year because they have to act like all the guys they signed are good. Usually only like a third of them are. The Mavs are deep. They're still starting Gafford for some reason, but they're winning, so I'm not too upset about it.

It's very clear. Gafford was great Tuesday night, but it's very clear they need to start Lively. But they closed with Lively. And he plays more minutes. Yeah, and this might be the way they keep doing it just because it's like work. They get down early, though.

Is that happening every night? It's happened a bit, yeah. Okay. But they're winning. Yeah. Luca, if you're not up to speed on this, I went back and looked at all four of my game notes so far. Game two,

I wrote down, Luca seems much more in control with the officials. I'm not really seeing much arguing at all. Game three, in the first half, I wrote the same thing down. I was like, man, he's getting some trash calls, but good on him. In the second

half of that game, he got a technical, and then he got a technical Tuesday night, so he already has two. But they're different. He promptly, after I wrote down, like, what maturity, picked up two technicals and six quarters. It does seem like he's extremely happy. Yeah. Because remember what we were so worried when they made that trade of Dorian

and others that got them Kyrie, right? Yep. And it was like, oh, man. I mean, this, after last year, just kind of getting rid of Boban for kind of nothing, no real reason at all. Brunson. Let Brunson walk. But this, you know, all of that was said because it's worried that Luka will leave here.

But right now, you've got to think. He's like, damn. Kyrie, first of all, was just great. Helps him get to the finals. And then to add a legend that is still pretty good, it seems, and really fits with him. And drafting Lively, of course, that's probably the key because they made him sit at the end of the season prior,

the first Kyrie year. Which he was not happy about. The Kyrie half year, kind of tanked at the end to get a slightly better draft pick. And any time the Mavs have done stuff like that in the past, whether it's, hey, we're going to try and save money. Yeah, it's never really worked out. Got Luka.

What, tanking? Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Getting Luka was a major key. No, the lively thing is massive. Also because he's young. Kyrie's awesome, but sometimes when I – I know he's like a super healthy dude. He looks older now. And it's just because I'm so used to seeing him from the age of 19 on.

But I look at him now and I'm like, how much longer can you really do that? Like Steph still looks like a baby to me. The new Mav streaming option, you know, they don't do commercial breaks. So during the breaks they'll do highlights from last year, mic'd up from last year. And one they did during the game, the third game, they all run together. Jazz. Yeah.

They were playing highlights from Kyrie's first All-Star game and he looks like a different person. Yeah. He's got gray in his afro now. He does like the gray rock. His beard is full. But yeah, he's been playing for a really long time but the lively thing is awesome um he fits perfectly it's here i'll just play luca for you from the other night um it was a national game so i think maybe the national guys

got kairi or clay maybe but uh kair did, yeah. Our local guys got Luka. A very physical game, one with emotion. Of course, you saw these guys a lot last year. But what defensively did y'all change after Ant got off to such a hot start? By the way, he had 24 in the first quarter. Anthony Edwards. Okay. I mean, it felt like there's just no chance tonight.

Like the Mavs are screwed. This is a schedule loss. But they never fell down. No, they were staying in it in that one. 24. 24 in the first half or the first quarter. Yeah. Yeah, I think we just started playing defense.

We got us going. You know, not everything is going to be perfect. I got to get it going at some point. But, you know, it's a back-to-back back win flying two hours and a half, playing 630 game. It's an incredible win. I don't think people realize how big of a win this is. And how physical this game was. Yeah, oh, you know what it is.

I ain't gonna comment. 11 points in the... We can play more of it in a second, but yeah, he's like, I'm not gonna comment. That's a good way of saying that the refs are really screwing me right now. But I also thought the other part was interesting, just of what creatures of habit these dudes are. I mean, they left Dallas on Monday night, fly two and a half, three hours. Yes, it's private, everything.

They get to the hotel at 2.30 or 3. And the game the next night, when they're used to playing central time, 7.30, is at 6.30. 3. And the game the next night, when they're used to playing central time 7.30, is at 6.30. So everything is just off. And if they had lost that game, you would have said, that's just a schedule loss. You get a back-to-back

where you have to go to Minnesota, play that team, take the L. Right. And they were down in the first half, right, Blake? They were down a handful, but Kyrie really took over in the third quarter, and it was awesome. What did they do?

I think Minnesota went on a 10-0 run to start the second half maybe, and then the Mavs responded with a 12-2. But, yeah, they fell down. They flirted with double digits for a little bit. They're a fun team, man. Klay, they hit a lot team man Clay they hit a lot of transition threes they run a lot more

their defense is still pretty solid even though I don't know if this is just Barkley's bit now but the Mavs are going to be on TNT a lot and he's kind of reverted back into his

was he doing it again? yeah yeah because he was doing that early yeah we're back to that yeah and that's part of being good too though yeah it again? Yeah. Yeah, because he was doing that early. Yeah. We're back to that. Yeah, and... That's part of being good, too, though. Yeah. It's a good bit.

Yeah. He did that for years with Dirk until Dirk won it all. The last thing on that game was just at the end when it's 109-107, Kyrie hits a three, they're up five. And then on the other end, you might've seen the clip, but Luka gets doubled and he's being harassed

over like sideline above the three point line. And while he's being harassed and fouled, he turns and starts yelling at the ref while he still has the ball. And then when he gets done yelling at the ref, he just pulls up and hits from 35 and buried the game. Made it an eight point game. It was like the whole thing, the whole Luca experience, the whole Luca experience in a span of like 10 seconds. Did you see Clay? No. In the background? No. There's a popular clip of a reverse angle where Luka hits it and walking back to the huddle, Clay is just smiling ear to ear. Yeah, I've seen a lot of that. I've seen a lot of Clay after Luka does something

and he's just... He's pleased. Yeah, it's a little weird because it's so early and everything seems so perfect. They're going to have problems. I mean, they haven't really been great, to be honest. They just play super hard. But Clay seems so perfect. They're going to have problems. They haven't really been great, to be honest. They play super hard. Najee,

Quinton Grimes play super hard. Lively and Gafford both play super hard. PJ, after very poor in the first two games shooting-wise, he's been awesome. He's given them a lot. Dinwiddie's playing a lot now too because they gave Jaden Hardy, like, one game

to figure out if he was the backup point guard. Now we're getting 20 minutes of Spencer Dinwiddie, which, whatever. I mean, whoever does it does it. He had a couple threes the other night. But the Klay thing, you know, obviously he played with Steph, who is magical in his own way, but I feel like his demeanor compared to Luka's is polar opposite.

Yeah. Like, Luka will talk his ass and back it up. I feel like it's just a different way they go about it. And for Klay to see that, barking with the ref, barking with the Timberwolves, and drill a 35-footer. I mean, Steph makes that shot too, but the way that Luka goes about it is different. Steph is a mature adult.

Well, that's probably it. Luka is an asshole child. Probably it. Still. It's fun, though, man. Houston tonight, they're legit. We get to see Dylan Brooks. Oh, yeah, that's right.

All right. Elsewhere. Let's do this so Blake can mark it down. Thanks. Oh, yeah. I like that. Let's give a tiny bit of love to the World Series now that it's over. Brought to you by our guy, Sean Kernan at 360 Wealth Management,

Call Sean at 469-893-0067 or check out DallasFinancialPlanner.net. Good dude. Okay. Obviously, the World Series is over. We're not really stoked on baseball, but the nation was. Yeah, especially after baseball made them suffer through Rangers diamondbacks.

Well, so the ratings on Monday night actually beat Monday night football. Yeah, but they were still low because of the equinox. But last night, 92% increase from the same game in the Rangers series. Oh, really? It doubled. Very predictable. Yeah, I mean, you went from about the, I mean, the Rangers are a big market

and Phoenix, I guess, is a big market, but you went from about two of those non-descript legacy teams to this. You could be a big market and not a baseball market. They had like 17 million viewers at one point or something last night. It was, they doubled it. Yeah, which is...

I mean, New York and L.A., of course. Otani and Judge. The chance to see the Yankees fail for the rest of the country that's not New York. I think there's no vitriol against the Dodgers. No, unless you're that translator. Or no, he's probably still on board

because he's on the payroll. E-pay. Remember the month of E-pay? He's still on the payroll? Well, Shohei's. Oh, okay. Yeah, whatever happened. Remember that?

Victor Conti style. They didn't really mention that a lot during the World Series. No, they didn't. They wanted that to go away as quickly as they could. The Shohei gambling scandal. We were like, is he out of baseball forever? Are they going to deport him? No, he's just going to win the World Series in the first year of a 10-year, $700 million deal.

All right. So let's talk about the controversy. Not last night, but a couple games ago. I guess we didn't get to do a show yesterday. I mean, unless you wanted to work a little harder for the program and actually did a two-hour interview yesterday morning and then put that out there. But that was just – I don't know if anybody –

oh, wait, somebody did do that. You know, what's funny is that we would have had a different controversy had this other one not superseded it, which would have been chanting Freeman, you suck at Freddie Freeman during the Cancer Month tribute when his mom died from cancer when he was 10. Ooh. Ouch. That's what you give them Yankee fans.

Yeah. By the way, are you guys aware that we've shifted from Breast Cancer Awareness Month to, do you guys know, ladies with breasts? Nope. Breast Health Aware? Ladies with breasts? No. Breast health awareness. Just to make sure they're overall healthy. Yeah, which could be taken

a number of different ways. Yeah, go on. I'm just saying, I feel like healthy could also mean bountiful. Yeah, okay. Let's inject them a little bit. Well, yeah. Put a little something in there.

Just be aware of it. I want to be aware. I'm not saying you have to do it, but it is an awareness, and it's a whole month of that. Okay. So, yeah, they were being Yankees fans, but then. Yeah, the word cancer, that's a negative. Bold stance, but yes.

Yeah, yeah. But, yeah, the cancer chant was outdone significantly so the dude obviously in in the right field uh foul territory that it's so my gosh it is a funny look at you know today's society or how we view everything differently because it's – what was it, the Steve Bartman? Oh, yeah. Fan interference when he was the Cubs fan who fan interfered. It's a different deal, though, for sure. I mean, Mookie Betts obviously made that catch.

And then this big, giant New York look. Like, anybody that's ever looked more New York than that guy that just is trying to rip the ball. And did rip the ball out of his club. It was so awesome, wasn't it? Well, part of the deal, too, is that Steve Bartman took the ball from a Cubs player. Oh, okay. It was Moises Alou. Oh, okay.

And that out, I think, would have ended that inning. And, of course, we know after that they had this big rally. Momentum and you can't stop them. Yeah, whereas in the case of Mookie, you know, it's a Dodger player trying to complete the out. But they ruled fan interference right away. But, yes, you could not. Did you love it?

Or were you like, this is terrible for the sport? Well, I do think it's – I don't know that it's terrible for the sport. There's a bunch of different parts about it. I think it's – I think you deserve to have your throat ripped out. Like if you grab another human being at their jobs – trying to grab the ball was one thing. When he tried to grab his wrist, like I think if Mookie Betts just punches him in the throat, he shouldn't be allowed to do that.

I don't think physical contact, he should be allowed to do that. I don't think physical contact with someone should be okay. See? I'm a guy who would go to a football game, get hammered, and ask Joe Mixon how many times he hit that girl from the stands at TCU. I'll do that.

I'll be an asshole and an animal, but I think if you grab another human being's arm, whatever happens to you next, you should just be like, I asked for this. Because that's how it works in life. It's a weird thing to be like,

no, I'm at a sporting event. It's okay if I grab somebody's wrist and yank on it. If you did that at the grocery store, you would get arrested. I love it. Or you'd get at the grocery store, you would get arrested. I love it. Or you'd get on Dallas, Texas TV or something. Yeah, most people get arrested. Here's why I love it.

Because 10-year-old me loves that guy. And maybe even thought, if I work everything correctly, I'll be that guy. But 10-year-old me also loved the guy that started the wave. Yeah. I want to be at the front of the i want to have the confidence to go to the front of a section because you ever see a

guy doing that he's got turn around and he's yeah he stands at the front he's like all right everybody oh and then he counts them down i'd be like what a maestro this is great uh but you know one would listen to me probably if me, I'm 10. I went up to the – but, man, I can't wait until I can do it. 10-year-old me loved the dude who ran across the field, got tackled. I'd be like, oh, man, if I had the balls to do that, man, I'm going to. I'll do it someday. 10-year-old me wanted to throw the ball back

if I ever caught a home run ball from the opposition. Yeah. The Cubs fans would do that famously, and I always sat in home run territory just hoping for a ball. And I just wanted the – because I wouldn't take a crappy ball from the Orioles or whoever. It's a blending like in the third row. You can't get it over the wall. Yeah. No, I think a lot of us were like that.

So, yes, obviously as you grow up, you realize the last person I would want to be in the section is the guy that starts the wave or the guy that paints his face or whatever. No, 10-year-old me, love the guy at a wind chill is minus 5 today, but he's not wearing a shirt in the stands. I'm like, hell yeah, I would do that, man. That would be great. Taking your glove to the game.

Oh, my gosh. I always brought my glove to the game. But, yeah, so, like, older me should be like, this isn't a – I should be upset at this fan behavior, but I'm not. I just love it. And it's Yankee fans, so it adds to the Yankee fans or just animals lore, which also

flies in the face of everybody complaining about just the corporate rich people. Every ticket's $1,000. We can't get any real fans. Well, I guess you can. You can really get dumb meatheads that can afford a $1,000 receipt. They'll cheer cancer and assault a place. Yeah, yeah. You can really get dumb meatheads that can afford a $1,000 receipt.

They'll cheer cancer and assault a player. Yeah, this is great. I mean, this is what fandom is. Yeah, like I said, I mean, I think any amount of talking, I guess you could get in trouble for that in public too, but a little different. The level at which he grabbed Mookie's wrist to me was just weird, like really crazy person behavior.

I mean, if Mookie had hit him, would you have said, I mean, it's kind of what happens, dude. No, I don't know. I mean, obviously they're going to throw him out and probably ban him and all that kind of stuff. I don't think they did ban him. They kicked him out of the game, so I have an update on that. I actually watched some of this game last night.

Very fortuitous that I happened to be watching at this portion of the game. It was 5-5. I missed the whole comeback, which was pretty funny because – All the errors and Garrett Cole not covering first. Yeah, and Aaron Judge has obviously – Garrett Cole looks like an A hole too, so I'm glad that – I want some vitriol to go his way. I don't have any problem with Aaron Judge,

but I do enjoy how frustrating he's been for Yankees fans. And I know he came through last night at the plate at least once, right? But then that error was insane. Yeah. What a meathead. He looks – he's definition of meat. Yeah, oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Ihead. He's definition of meat. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't – Slab of meat. If you ask him to write his name in cursive right now, it's not happening. Holds the pencil like this. Snaps it. Yeah.

Like eats part of it. Like, oh, not jerky. So they kicked him out of that game, but it wasn't immediately. It was a little time in between there. They escorted them out, and I believe the next day we're told that they couldn't come to game five. They're season ticket holders. They were not going to be allowed to come to game five.

So before we talk more about the New York Meatheads, they went to the fan cam in the sixth inning when it's tied 5-5 to make sure you know that really there's something good to come out of this. Fan cam sponsored by Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. Calvin Young over there. Now the two guys in the first row yesterday had their tickets. They're showing a little kid, like an 8-year-old Yankee fan. And Calvin Young over there.

Now, the two guys in the first row yesterday had their tickets revoked. And the Yankees have taken those tickets and given them to Calvin, who's battling cancer. And they had invited Calvin to the game earlier this season, but he got sick when he was coming into the stadium, couldn't go to the game, and so they turned that bad situation from yesterday into a good situation today,

and they get him to the ballpark. Pretty cool. Look at that young man. Foul. We're just going to go back to this because that was awkward. I mean, it is cool for the kid, but also the fact that they had to tell you. So they weren't going to give it to him? No.

I mean, that's what's... It's like game five, right? Yeah. This is a last minute thing. They're like, hey, is that kid still alive? Is the kid who... Should we call that? Is the kid who got sick?

Call his mom just to see. This will work for us. A lot of people were really mad at ESPN because of the article that they wrote. Are you aware of this? No. His name is Jesse Rogers. I'm not familiar with this baseball writer at all. But he wrote an article about these

guys. He got a hold of them. The main one, Austin Capabianco, which again, him and his friend were there. And this guy caught up with them, saw them at a local bar afterward where they were like being hailed as heroes. And he interviewed them. And Capo Bianco, 38 years old, said, we always joke about the ball in our area. We're not going to go out of our way to attack, but if it's in our area, we're going to D up. Like this asshole goes to a game thinking like,

I'm part of the team. That's awesome. He said, he went on to say, someone defends, someone knocks the ball. We talk about it. We are willing to do this. Even right after, like they're pointing it like, this is the wall.

Everything behind here is us. It was not a situation where they immediately like felt guilt. Yeah. No, no. No, I'm is the wall. Everything behind here is us. He's over it. It was not a situation where they immediately felt guilt. Yeah. No, no. No, I'm in the right. Yeah. He says when it comes to- New York.

For his part, Mookie was super cool about it. He said, I know when I'm in the wrong, and this is Capo Bianco again. I know when I'm in the wrong, and as soon as I did it, I was like, boys, I'm out of here. I patrol that wall, and they know it. It's just so Yankees. The funniest part- And people are mad at ESPN

for even- Well, no. Okay, so- Platforming him? They wrote the article kind of glorifying it, and then the writer posted a tweet with a picture of them at the bar,

and they're being celebrated. And I think he said, just met the fans. He's like, this guy right here, he's a real beaut. He was really – he wasn't being sarcastic. He was like, these dudes are hilarious. They probably are. Side note for Baseball Blake, I haven't seen – I don't have it in front of me. Let me see if I can find it.

In the wider shot of the image, the third guy, not one of the two guys, but a guy who's left-left from Mookie, in the stands is wearing one of those Evo Shield sliding mitts. Yes, I've seen that. What are you going to do? You're going to slide in the stands is wearing one of those Evo Shield sliding mitts. Yes, I've seen that. What are you going to do? You're going to slide in the outfield? Like, if you have a baseball glove on, like, maybe you're going to catch a foul ball or a home run.

But, like, he's got the slide into second protector on. Sliding mitts, gay. Okay, well. Am I wrong? Look, I don't like getting my skin burnt But it's hilarious to wear it in the stands Like, what is the Yeah, it's awesome

What in the world I said to somebody the other day Like, that would be like taking a bat Like, what do you need that for? Or, yeah Football game You're wearing, what, elbow pads Yeah, sure, yeah

Or an arm sleeve NBA game Yeah This is what I Look, I'm a fan. That's awesome. So the other thing that was funny that came out of this is, you know Kay Adams, Dan? She used to be on NFL Network. She's close to perfect.

Seems like she likes to party quite a bit. Is she like a New York announcer or no? No, she's – She hosted Good Morning Football for a while. Yeah, she used to be Good Morning Football. She's funny. quite a bit. Is she like a New York announcer or no? No. She hosted Good Morning Football for a while. Yeah, she used to be Good Morning Football. She's funny. Get over it. Now she's got her own deal.

It's called Up and Atom, and she has guests on. Okay. Wouldn't it be cool to have a name that you could use in a pun like that? Up and Atoms? Yeah. Wouldn't it be cool to be hot? Maybe. Would you just look at yourself all the time?

What happened? Most of the time. Okay. Hold on. Let me see if this is right. When things are... Oh, that's not right. Is this right?

Changed my mind. God bless it. This is a major fail, boys. What are you doing? I wanted to play you something from her show, which I can just do. Was this what you were pausing us before we started, saying I got to get this? No, that was the cancer kid. Here, I'll pull it up for you.

This doesn't happen all the time, guys. You see her up close and personal of us failing. Maybe it's better if I just tell you rather than look for it. So she had a guest on this morning, and that guest was like, hey, actually, oh, here it is than look for it. So she had a guest on this morning, and that guest was like, hey, actually, oh, here it is. I got it. I didn't want to spoil who the giveaway was.

This is actually the first time I'm seeing this live, and here's a little fun fact. That guy right there grabbing Mookie Betts' glove was my friend in college. Gronk's talking right now. He was on the ice hockey team. Okay, so we'll listen to all of it, yeah how funny is that they have gronkin as a as a guest he doesn't even know that this happened to that he knows the guy they're showing it and he's like oh my god and he's pointing at the tv and also pay attention when he says uh

i'm seeing this now live and she's like well it's not live. This is actually the first time I'm seeing this live. And here's a little fun fact. That guy right there grabbing Mookie Betts' glove was my friend in college. Gronk, stop it right now. He was on the ice hockey team, the club, Arizona Wildcats team, ice hockey team. And let me tell you, the whole hockey team, they were absolute maniacs. They were undescribable just how wild these guys were. Animals?

Animals, yes. How wild these guys were. Him doing that represents him very well. I mean, he is all in for his teams. He is all in for the Yankees. I remember him talking about the Yankees all the time, how he loves them so much. And that describes him perfectly perfectly just doing whatever it takes

to help his team out but are you okay that's awesome and yeah she was acting surprised but I'm not surprised at all no no she they went on she's like this is pretty wild he knew to do to an athlete. And you can see the pure joy on Gronk's face. He's like, I know that guy. Yeah, this checks out. He's an animal. Wasn't prepped for it or anything.

That's excellent. All right, should we take a break and get Julie on, or is she fired up? What are we doing here? Looks like she's here. Should we just pull her up? It's your show. Sure. Because we're going to do some viewer mail with Julie Dobbs.

Oh, yeah, wait a minute, Uncle Hotmail. Do you want us to pull up the thing, too? Yeah, you want to see Julie? I'm fine. I always want to see Julie. I'm fine Rude I always want to see Julie Did you send us a link? Just did Ladies and gentlemen, Julie Dobbs

Hey Hi friends Do you read us? Over I read you. Do you read me? Over Affirmative This is Julie Can you see my pumpkin necklace? Do you read us over? I read you. Do you read me over? Affirmative, Mrs. Julie. Can you see my pumpkin necklace? We're going to need that.

Did you dress up skanky for drop-off like your podcast partner? Oh, my gosh. I did not. I could never. I'm going to have to hear the story on that on that i'm gonna have to go listen to that because i don't understand why that would ever seem like a good idea well you didn't listen no not yet no i mean because even in the instagram clip i don't yeah like we put the background to it so if you just watch the one clip you'll get the info but it's um she was having a conversation with her son henry about halloween costumes and

he asked her if she was dressing up and she said yeah i'm gonna be a sexy nurse just totally kidding to her son 12 year old son and he said no you couldn't pull that off mom and so emily jones she doesn't like to be challenged about just about anything in her life. So she decided to try to pull off being a sexy nurse and went to pick him up at school in the sexy nurse costume. She had no intentions of getting out of the car and he was alone at the time. He wasn't in front of all of his friends or anything like that, but she just wanted to get his reaction. And that's what you saw in that video clip. It was gold. And now I'm hearing from the school that Henry straight A's this semester.

He's on track to be valedictorian. Mm-hmm. Yeah. No, that's one of the things that I love about Emily is because we kind of talked about it here on the show. She told me this story about how she was kind of like, he said I couldn't pull it off. And I was like, well, you should try it. Like totally just BSing, right? Next thing you know, she sends me a

video and it's her pulling up to pick him up in a sexy nurse costume. Now what if I did that? You know? Sexy nurse? Well, what if I went to go do kindergarten pick up and I had to get out in front of the school and I have like half my nuts hanging out from one of those dance...

The Chippendales or something? And then all of a sudden... Then, oh, yeah, you'd be all this... You'd be like a predator. Yeah. And with her, she's being celebrated. Once again, males have it so much harder than females. You know, even more dads than moms.

I think we should probably focus in on that. What? What do you mean? You ready to do some drinking tonight, Julie? Oh, yeah. Get the Yeti cup. Yeah, I got my Yeti cup. I'm happy to go to the block party.

Tonight is, they should just rename the holiday like Yetiween. It's just, moms are in the bag tonight. How has Yeti not gotten in on this branding? Time to celebrate Yeti ween. That also sounds weird. Yeah, it does. Anything with ween. Anything with ween.

You don't like anything with ween is what you're saying. Yeah, it sounds weird. You can't just throw ween onto a word and make it sound weird. So we have you on today's, I guess this is the first edition. Yeah. What is it called? The Big Giant Thursday Mailbag? It's not on Friday like everyone else does it?

Or what is it called, Blake? You named it. I don't know. Blake told me the other day. I want to do a mailbag. Every day, it just seems like a lot. But what if we just do kind of like a one day? Big giant extravaganza mail Thursday, not Friday,

because everybody else does it on Friday. The Thursday viewer mail follow-up extravaganza inclement fossil thing. Ow. Well, how does inclement fossil make sense? Why did I say that? We were talking about fossil words or phrases or whatever. Man, I do makes sense. Why did I say that? We were talking about fossil words or phrases or whatever. Man, I do make sense. I don't think that makes any sense.

Anyway, so it's a very follow-up. As I look throughout these, very Jake heavy. Yeah. He's a hot kamad right now. Jake is a hot kamad. He's a hot come on right now Jake is a hot come on but we're gonna say this incredible mailbag is brought to us by

a brand new bit now I don't know if everybody knows this do you know this Stephanie that there's someone named Stephanie in here Julie say hi Stephanie hi Stephanie what's up is this? Do you know this, Stephanie? There's someone named Stephanie in here, Julie. Say hi, Stephanie. Hi, Stephanie. What's up? Not much. She's just hanging out with her friend, Tabitha.

It's their birthdays or something. They're like best friends. Aw, that's cute. Is it stinky in there, Stephanie? No. Okay, good. It cleaned up for you. Doesn't smell like salmon. Tabitha, do you want to sit on the couch? I keep asking her. Don't do it, Tabitha. Don't do it. Tabitha, do you want to sit on the couch? I keep asking her. Don't do it, Tabitha.

Don't do it. Move to the floor. Tabitha's sitting on the floor. Yeah. Don't sit on Blake's casting couch. Yeah, it is Blake's casting couch. Anyway, we're going to say this is brought to you by

like a new bit that Julie is doing in sales for our show. Julie sells advertising for our show and for the mom game, which apparently is some other podcast that I guess Emily Jones is on it. I'm not sure. I'm just getting this information now. Right.

Yeah. You're close. You're close. But it is a special holiday presentation. Right? Sure. You're selling a bit holiday presentation. Right? Sure. Like you're selling a bit for holidays. Yeah, I've got my PowerPoint presentation right here.

If you all could just give me about 20 minutes of your time, I promise to make this short and sweet, and then maybe we can go have a glass of wine afterwards, shoot the breeze. Dude, I'm looking at this PowerPoint thing. Yeah, because you know you're supposed to like, in sales you're supposed to present and have all these decks made and all that.

But I remember the very few times they'd ever let us see this at the ticket. I would always think it's really funny because it's like the thing I typed up for Bruce the weekend before I got to the ticket, like in the year 2000. It was forever ago. And I'm like, this is what you use? I've been here now 15 years. I've been here this is what you... And so I'm looking at what they do.

They're trying to sell us. And so let's say you've never heard of us. And now you're looking at, what is this? Oh, The Dumb Zone says host snapshot. Dan McDowell, 25 years as host on number one rated KTCK.

Originally from Cleveland, Ohio. That's it. That's my whole bio. Why would I mean, why even include that you're from Cleveland? Jake Kemp, 15 years at number one rated KTCK. Current contributor

to D Magazine Sports. Originally from North Richland Hills, Texas. Can't even give me Fort Worth. I mean, that's all true, right? Where do you want to be from? Y'all write your own

dang bios and send them to us and we'll use them. I don't... This is what everybody knows about us, though? This is the only thing that somebody can come up with. Witty.

Blake Jones. Witty, charitable, relatable, insightful. Blake Jones doesn't say what Blake Jones does. You guys don't understand. In fact, all this stuff is like what we used to do. It's not like, hey, how about kicking ass, killing it now with daily shows? Remember when anybody cared about them? Well, that's not now.

Blake Jones' previous experience includes broadcast team for TCU football, Big 12, and Argyle High School football. Yeah. It's not anything what you do now. Hey, I got news for you. Julie, fifth grade, I want to say, fifth grade, I won best dressed in my elementary. Fifth grade, I want to say. Fifth grade, I won best dressed in my elementary.

Senior year of high school at prom finished runner-up for best looking in my class. My gosh, runner-up? Who won? To be fair, there was an extremely handsome black guy in our class, and it wasn't close. I was not upset with the decision. Okay. All right. How about put that on there?

Yeah. Well, send it over. How about successfully completed rehab? It's very relatable. A lot of people are coming up to me. And then look how it doesn't even have our website right. It says dumbzone.co. I don't even know what you're looking at.

The PowerPoint thing that Kelly sent to all of us in the No Puppet email. Okay, I got it now. Take a look at that. It's like page two. It doesn't have our website right. I did not make that thing. Oh, now we'll pass the buck

on to certainly somebody else must be to blame. You're right here, Julie. You know I'm not making decks. I can't do do that i'm not that talented when it comes to whatever powerpoint or whatever they're using photoshop but what i do like to do is go tell people about you guys and see who's interested in becoming part of the fun and it's been like it's been a fun experience for me and i mean pretty successful so far y'all are pretty easy to sell despite all the self-deprecating i mean i did uh i was from cleveland yeah that's true that's all you have to tell people yeah i mean you know a website that's not ours the initial deck you show is not everything about you or anything to make people laugh or whatever.

That's like it's just interesting. I'm learning a lot about this whole world. Right. Sometimes you're pitching to like the shop next door that is a big fan. Sometimes you're pitching to a big giant client and they don't know you guys. So we have to kind of toe the line of how and how we describe you. you guys. So we have to kind of toe the line of how and how we describe you. Because if somebody knows Dan and Jake and Blake and in the dumb zone, it's it's pretty easy. And they can visualize themselves as being a part of your brand. But if they don't, that's where it's like, you're right, it is kind of difficult to explain. And we're like, well, it's called the dumb zone. And then they're like, well, tell us more. Well, it's a part of no puppet productions. And they're like, well, it's called The Dumb Zone. And then they're like, well, tell us more. Well, it's a part of No Puppet Productions.

And they're like, what does No Puppet mean? And you're like, well, so let's move on. Jake was wasted watching a cowboy game. It starts with the big man, not me, but yeah. Yeah, yeah. You're like, have you heard of Trump? So what you're trying to sell is Christmas lists for dummies. Wait, you're going to call our deplorable listeners dummies?

Mm-hmm. Do y'all really call them DFs, or is that what they call themselves? I don't know. I feel like it's aggressive. We just call people people, but yes, if you want to put dumb fucks on the sales list. I don't want to. Oh, okay. I don't want to. Oh, okay. I don't want to.

I think it's too aggressive. Some people get very scared of the F word. Yeah. Pussies. Me included. Me included. But yeah. Yeah, we should tweet this out because it's funny too.

There's like a picture. Like it's a thing where you buy advertising, you get... It's like a Christmas thing, right? It's for, like... Now, is this geared towards, like, lady stuff? Yeah. Or can guy-based stuff... Because it's like, oh, well, the men can buy this stuff for their women. Yeah, because...

Their women. I don't know. Because we own our women. If we are lucky enough. You own your women, but hopefully you buy them things. I mean, it's just kind of part of the deal. That's why they have to vote the same way as you. Yeah.

That's a big thing right now. I can't believe that they let us vote. It's just insane. The trad wife has to vote for the same way as their husband? Yeah, a guy on Fox News was like, yeah, if they vote for someone else and lie to you, that's the same as cheating. I agree. On the trad as cheating. I agree.

On the track? I agree, yeah. So that means, oh, you voted differently? Well, then I can... Yeah. My lady. It's the same as cheating. I'm allowed to... Jeez, that's crazy. Yeah.

No, but, you know... But for spots on our show and for like a buying guide thing that we'll send you to on the website, right? Yeah. Discounts. Discounts. It's basically like a package like we would normally sell, but when you buy on. But it's got the word Christmas in it. The dumb zone.

It's like a holiday. By the way, not holiday. Christmas. That's right. You want to be Christmas guys, not holiday guys? Yes. Alright. You're putting your foot down? Only Christmas. You're not scared to celebrate Christ? That's right.

No. Okay. Alright. Good. I like that mom game. I like Christmas too. Do what? Trying to take the Christ out of Christmas. But I like the little picture on there too because it's got a black guy and a white guy. We cover everybody. Stock image stock image and they got like a christmas present there diversity yeah that's what we're all about it's like a community college brochure oh god well

anyway yeah anyway there is a holiday gift guide um that we thought would be a good way to make shopping for your spouse or your mother-in-law or your friend or your girlfriend or whatever. Everything geared towards women. Ooh. It is geared towards women. Your side piece. It's really hard to shop for her because she knows on Christmas Day you're going to be with your wife and family. Right. Yeah.

So you have to kind of treat her extra special this year, guys. Side pieces always get the better gifts, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. You're still in that courting phase. You're not old and jaded and like, I'll give her whatever and she's not going to go anywhere because we're married. Right. Yeah, this could be for your side piece if you uh so desire but i don't endorse that i endorse you buying presents for your wife and

your wife only unless she votes differently than you true well yeah then you have to have a side piece um but yeah so basically if you if you buy a sponsorship with the dumb zone, uh, beginning, you know, beginning of November, then you can be put on our holiday gift guide. So, uh, it is kind of targeted towards female, uh, you know, clients,

businesses, that kind of things that females would frequent. Uh, like we work with Kendra Scott, for example, on the mom game. And I think they're going to do some, what about a Manny Petty place?

Manny Petty would be good. Med spas. What about a tattoo parlor? Tattoo parlor, yeah. Everybody gets tattoos nowadays. Are you guys hitting up all the tattoo parlors? No. Don't you think we should? Do you think they advertise?

Shouldn't they? I don't know. If you give someone a tattoo, aren't you kind of advertising for yourself that way? Then they just walk all around. They typically don't just tattoo the name of the shop. Right, but if it looks really good, then I'm sure people will say, where'd you get that done? How much is a tattoo? Depends. Mine, the one I have was like $650.

The big one on your back? No, it's on the small of your back. Armpit to waist. No, the bullseye was about $75. Do you have a tramp stamp, Julie? And you paid for it. I know. I wanted it.

Julie, do you have a tramp stamp? Yeah, I do. For real? It's a pumpkin. I can't tell if she's joking. She doesn't. I could see that happening. It's a pumpkin. I couldn't see her doing that if she's joking. She doesn't. Like, I could see that happening. It's a pumpkin.

I could see her doing that because she loves pumpkins. It's kind of, it's like, it's the tramp stamp is like kind of party, but also the pumpkin is like kind of a huge dork and she's both. It's like, somehow. Yeah, that's pretty much me. That's what my bio would say. It somehow works. I'm kind of party, but kind of a huge dork.

Anyway, so call Julie. Or wait, how do they get a hold of Julie? Yeah, you only asked about tattoo places. What about love equipment? Love equipment? Yeah. Like the braider? Some toys or whatever?

Sure. Yeah, you could definitely. I will have achieved. There's so much more than that, definitely. I will have achieved. There's so much more than that, dude. I will have achieved the peak, as it were, of our existence if we start advertising for one of those places. Like an F-swing? We did that at the Freak. You know, Kavanaugh had that account, and he'd just walk into work with freaking dildos.

What's wrong with that? I would literally exit the studio when he'd start to do those live spots. I couldn't even handle it. But they would give him shit. You can name it Little Jake. Electric Jake. What they're buying would be called Big Jake.

Okay. A lot of commentary on Jake's wiener. Well, you're right. We should target some places like that because I think they make a lot of money. I don't need commission. That's a free one. Where do you want people to email?

Sales at dumbzone.com. You sure it's not dumbzone.co? Because here on the thing it says dumbzone. Don't make it any more confusing. I have nothing to do with this piece of paper that you're looking at. sales i can take it up the ladder dan i'll run it up the ladder for you how about that all right um but yeah sales at dumbzone.com and that kind of like goes to everybody and then of course if you want to holler at me about it you know where to find me everywhere really easy to find these oh yeah media. I'm totally pimping myself out

all the time because that's my job now. Alright. Yeah, but it'll be fun. And then we're just going to have a list on the website, on the Dumb Zone website. This also is something we're doing for the mom game. So you can just go to the Dumb Zone website, click on the... How will that be fun? You say this will be fun.

What's going to be fun about it? She's rolling. I'll just let her go. I want to read some viewer mails. The big weekend fossil mail thing. You'll never remember this. It is the...

Sean emails at the risk of giving someone more ammo. Metaphorically, another name for tactical parking is combat parking. This is back-end parking. Remember last week? Yeah. Somebody was supporting my parking of choice.

What do you do, Julie? Back-end or front-end? I don't back-end. I front-end. Was it Emily supporting you? It probably was. No, this is a guy named Sean who emails us. Oh, this is a 690 scene.

He says, I know this from my days as an Army paperwork officer where I would never, ever have been in actual combat. Actually, I don't know if it's 690 scene. Okay. Well, yeah, Emily also backs in. I think it is. And I told her she needed to connect With you to talk about that Ooh

We should connect Yeah Me and Emily Mm-hmm Um Kind of rare Watching the Mav This is from Jay

Watching the Mavs And wondering the Dumb Zone's opinion On the roster Seems like a bunch of griffies So let's ask Mr. Mav. I'll give you... Do you think Luke is a Griffy? No. Yeah, I think he's

ready to party. Yeah. Derek Lively seems Griffy-ish. Yep, so does, like, Dwight Powell. Kyrie, certainly not. Although now he's... Nowadays he might be, right? Yeah, he's kind of family guy.

He's at one with the Earth. I mean, to be honest, he was never really party guy. How do we know? Do we know that? He's just a weird guy. He's just weird. Yeah, okay, maybe he's a... But if something weird happened, like a scandal,

it's not like we'd be like, oh my gosh, I can't believe it. Clay. Clay seems pretty boring. I'm going to have to go, while very weird, Griffey. Now, I'd keep my eyes on Dinwiddie. I've got an eye on him. I love him though, man. But like Brunson's a Griffey. Like when he was here, man. But like Brunson's a Griffey.

Like when he was here, that was a real... Maxie's a Griffey. Powell. I said Powell, but Griffey. Oh, you did? But back to Maxie though. You sure? Why?

He seems pretty straight to me. Yeah. I don't know. I just... I feel like he... The whole German thing? Yeah. It's just always't know. I just, I feel like he. The whole German thing? Yeah, it's just always been suspect. It's plotty.

This entitled Jammer Jelly. In particular, I think it starts at the top. I mean, one level up, their coach would never be involved in any sort of scandal, especially involving a female. That would never happen. A follow-up here on Jam or Jelly. This is from Tyler. We got a similar one from Porter.

He says, Since Blake had some trouble with the difference between jam and jelly on the charcuterie discussion on yesterday's sewed, I want to provide a quick breakdown that Blake and the DF Nation could use to determine the difference. Why would this ever be helpful? The primary difference between jam and jelly Blake and the DF Nation could use to determine the difference. Why would this ever be helpful? The primary difference between jam and jelly is that I cannot jelly my wiener up Blake's butt.

Yep, I had a feeling that was where we were at. I need a warning next time. Go ahead. Read the PS. Oh, does he not compliment the boys? Otherwise, I don't know why you're reading this. Okay. Oh, does he not compliment the boys? Otherwise, I don't know why you're reading this. Oh, okay. I figured there was some draw of how this email got read on the show. Yeah, on your Google alert.

Otherwise, I don't know if dad jokes are good enough for this segment. I don't know. Oh, damn, son. It was a dirty dad joke, at least. It was a dirty dad joke. Yeah, that's right, Don. I thought the wiener up your butt would really sway you, Blake, but I guess not. That's hilarious.

Oh, Blake doesn't like it. Tension, this is great. This is a follow-up after we were talking about the Rangers' former, maybe even current, scouting director? Kip Fag. His name is Kip Fag, Julie. Have you heard of him? I have, yeah. Says, hey, Dan.

I have to say his name in tickers sometimes. And I'd be like. Why? Grow up. Why was it funny? Kip? Because of Napoleon Dynamite? Do what?

Because of like Kip and Napoleon Dynamite? Is that why you're laughing at that name? Yeah, that's why. The name Kip is hilarious. I couldn't get through it whenever I had to read it. Well, Nolan writes, the athletic director for UT Arlington is John Fagg. I had the opportunity to ask John if there was a relation, and he confirmed there was not.

So, there you go. Via John Fagg, it was confirmed no relation to Kip from day two, Nolan. Like, two Gs in everything? We have two Fags in the area? You need to relax. We were just talking last week, Julie, about how we always wanted to book Kip Fag,

but then whatever question we had had to start with the word it right after we identified him. A little reset. Yeah. And so... A little C-U-N-T action or whatever. Kip Faggots.

What are you saying? You're focusing on pitching. It comes from the same line of comedy. Putting sounds together, putting letters together to make bad words. Yeah, I mean, I feel like you're just describing art. Tony says, I need to point out the whoop step counter has been wildly inaccurate since it was

added as a feature. It's well documented on Reddit, so Jake should cool it with his step count, because Jake is always bragging about how his steps are so much higher than mine. I did tell you guys that the steps are in beta when it first started. Like it.

I'm trying to figure out beta. I like how you just throw that in. It's like it's not really debuted yet kind of thing. I think they definitely have stuff to work out. Let's do this. It's 6065.

Hold on. Now it's 6066. Hold on. Now it's 6066. Okay, well, see, this does kind of make sense, though, because it says, like, for if you run a 10-minute mile, it's 1670. If you run a 12-minute mile, it's 1950.

And I will run, like, if I run 5 miles, I usually run it at a 10-11 mile pace. You're a five mile guy. Damn. It only took me a month, dude. If you just start, you can do it. I could run

one mile consecutively when I got to treatment. Because I hadn't really worked out in like nine months. But that would say if I run five... I need to get a treatment. If I run five miles at ten and a half minutes... What's up? In that one month, you went from one

mile to five miles? When I left, I was at four, and then by a week and a half later, I was at five. I do five twice a week, and then three the other... two other days. Actually, this next email is entitled, Jake's Journey. Oh, lame. Dear Captain Camel Toe Cannibal.

Oh, my God. Cannibal is like a bottom five word for me. That's a great visual, though, right there. Great? I don't know. Very creative. It is. Camel Toe is a bottom five word for me.

You don't hear it often. I heard it kind of in the wild the other day. I was like, do ladies still say that? It's terrible. You ever get caught with one of those, Julie? Like in a picture, you're like, oh, god damn it. Ever been caught with one of those, Julie? Yeah.

No, I don't hear ladies say that very often in the wild, really. We don't talk like that. It's so great to hear that Jake is doing well with his sobriety. I knew something was wrong when he claimed that a dental hygienist and Jeff Kavanaugh would make a better one-two combo in flag football than Lamar Jackson and Tyreek Hill. Then on today's Soad, he said the ringer on his flag football team is a former XFL tackle football player.

This is the clear-headed logic of a sober man. Wait, what was the last? What did I screw up on the second one? He said it's good. He said that is logical. You're saying a tackle football player is great at flag football. Yeah, okay. That's what he's now saying.

You're sober and you're clear-headed and now you're speaking truth. And then he ends it with, besides, we all know that A-Train from the Amazon Prime show The Boys would be the obvious number one overall draft pick from Matt.

I gotta say, I think I might be more convicted about the flag football take now than I was before, though. I just hope we get to see it. And no, I don't want to put a dental hygienist out there to be covered by J.C. Horn. Fellas, this one has a couple different things. Finishing yesterday's Sode, I want to see what other forms of nepotism there might be in the front office. Not sure if you all knew about this, but this scouting intern made me gasp.

So he heard us talking about Spalding. And it shows Shai Anderson is a, he showed me the pictures here. Shai Anderson is a scouting assistant. He showed me the pictures here. Shai Anderson is a scouting assistant. And then below him, scouting intern Josh Brent. Oh. Yeah, he's been around for a while.

Who has quite the Kemp's man. They've employed him the whole time, even whenever they had to tase him at that Wendy's. What? I don't know this story. I don't remember tasing Wendy's. I remember killing a teammate. Yeah.

That seems like that would be the one you'd... Well, yeah. I thought that one was pretty... Oh, two albums. But, you know, that's like if you're into a band. Okay. Like, you don't want to hear American Pie. Awesome. You don't always play the hits. Yeah. Like, you don't want to hear American Pie? Awesome. You don't always

play the hits. Yeah, here we go. Former Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Josh Brent was arrested Sunday for alleged

public intoxication and resisting arrest at a Wendy's parking lot in Coppell. Gosh, you're so good with these people.

He apparently yelled, Google me, I'm a cowboy. Nice. Oh, no. I got bad news, Josh Brent. That's not the first thing that comes up when I cook.

Rare time where that might not help you out. The list also says he was tased while in his underwear. He was. He was. Well, we're all wearing underwear. Wendy's, though, man. I love Wendy's. I haven't been to Wendy's in a minute.

Dollar Soft Drinks now? You think they let him eat? Like, get his order? It's like, well, he ordered, you know? He paid for it. Yeah. Jack, this is Jack, who's writing about Josh Brent. Also, he says, one other thing.

I need a dentist to weigh in on when to floss. My mind is in a blender each night trying to decide, do I floss before or after brushing? Which had me thinking. I mean, the mind is in a blender each night trying to decide do I floss before or after brushing? Which had me thinking. I mean, the answer is before, but I don't always do it. You think? Okay. No, I've like, well, who knows? That stuff changes all the time, it feels like.

But I've heard that said by 7 out of 10 dentists. However, when you're at the dentist, they do the polishing and all that kind of stuff first, and then they top you off with a floss. That's true. Yeah, I was going to say after brushing.

It seems like you get all the crud out, and then the flossing gets what's left. And then he says the dumb zone is great, much like the Amazon Prime original. The boys. You ever seen Amazon Prime original. The Boys. You ever seen The Boys, Julie? No, I haven't. Ladies don't like superhero stuff as much. My wife is into it. That's probably part of the reason they consistently are considered smarter.

We don't dumb ourselves down with superhero stuff? Yeah, and I mean mean I don't either so I'm an ally okay good yeah I've never really been into superhero stuff and finally let me bring this up dear Fupa Fuhrer

Fupa I'm a day 17 number 4131 I figured I would give you all a couple weeks to hit your stride before I started paying. On September 29th, it was my Donald Trump's first presidential term minus

2002 Richland Rebels senior receiver Jake Kemp birthday. I've been mentioned on a few soads, but I'd like to use my brief belated birthday platform to address the most recent time I was mentioned from the August MBR. Quote, Jake has a buddy who thought, who he thought backed up his rock album.

I'm going to need the record to be... Who he thought backed up his rock album? I think you were saying that you had a buddy who thought he backed it up, meaning he did not. And that's why you couldn't find it or something. Okay. Because you were like in a band. Is it not just Brevig? He says, I need the record to be corrected for posterity to say that Jake has a buddy who did back up his rock album.

Hell yeah. It's not my album. Attached, you will find the 10 tracks from the 2003 debut album of Five Minute Stranger. Hell yeah. Meet Me in Mexico. So the name of the album is Meet Me in Mexico? That sounds right. The name of the band?

Five Minute Stranger, yeah. For sure. But he wrote... I can't really claim the title. This is from Brevig. He says, I entrust you with this with a few requests. One. Don't make fun of me.

I'm the singer. Under no circumstances should this album be played with an earshot of either of the roast twins. Oh, no. For sure do it. He wants to hide from them. My voice isn't on it. I wish it were for content purposes, but I'm free and clear here. This is a cell phone on Brev's part.

He does say that. He does go into don't rip the lyrics too much and all that kind of stuff. But I thought, let's listen to a little of it. And the thing is, when I was listening to this this morning... Was this 2002, I think, right?

He says 03, debut album, so maybe you were in the lab in 2002. Yeah, yeah, right, yeah. First one takes the longest. When listening to this, I thought, this isn't that fun to make fun of, because it's not... I mean, it's not, you know, it's not terrible. The quality is so bad.

Oh, I remember this song. This is such in that era. Yeah, this is all we get. I thought it was. Actually, Brevik's voice sounds good. The lyrics might be lame, but. I thought it was giving bowling for soup. I should have said that. I take it back.

It's not my vibe. His voice sounds good. Hey, Brev. You brought it. Okay, so this song is called Different. I have notes on each song. Dude, our bass player was good. Shout out to Heath.

What'd you play? Guitar. Guitar. So this song is... Two guitar, one bass, singer, drummer. He's upset that his girl wants him strange. Basically, that's what the song is all about. How come you want somebody different?

And all that kind of stuff. So it's called Different. Okay. This one is called I Love the Radio. Look at the dueling guitars right there. The lyrics indicate that they're very upset that radio stations are too repetitive. I think I kind of remember this one. I don't think I could play these anymore.

Oh, shit. I remember the pre-chorus. Awesome. Okay, so he's tired of hearing the same song all the time. That's good. This next one is called... This makes me so happy. The Marching Song, parentheses, Live For.

Live For. Now, this is an upbeat song that at the first is about how depressed he is. Oh, I like this one. Man, he knew what he was doing. Very Bowling for Soup, right? Yeah, I mean, I guess, but that's because that's... That's not, like, an attack. That's, like, the only band of this era you know.

Yeah, maybe that's it. Whereas, like, to me, they were, like, lame. Very lame. I don't know why I get a Pixies vibe, but I do. That's, like, a real band. So, thank you. So, the way the lyrics go, though, it's upbeat sounding, and it's about how depressed I am, but ultimately he finds something in life to live for, but it is unstated exactly what that is.

It's not really saying that it's a woman. A lot of these songs are about girls. I don't recall. If I did, I'd tell you. I think he found out, he discovered masturbation. Oh, okay. Maybe. I mean, most of us were jerking off well before then,

but it could have been something you wrote from the perspective of when you were 12 where was this recorded so we want a battle of the bands and it was over if my memory serves me correct like in sort of the design district area what it is now in Dallas we won like 10 hours and they had some guy in there who's a real engineer producer. It sounds great. Shut up. You're a jerk. I didn't mean it like that. It sounds terrible.

The engineering is so bad. As far as the mix, what's wrong with it? It's not good. This is called Meet Me in Mexico. He's floating the idea of moving to Mexico with a chick. Maybe he's floating it to the chick. Like, hey, what if we just got out of here? Yeah.

Obviously, you don't name the album after that unless it's a banger, right? Yeah, that's the title track. Title track. This is, let me jump up to the lyrics. This is called. Oh, I like this one. Nevermore. Yeah, people used to, people actually used to get pretty rowdy

mosh pit stuff yeah this is a song directed at my parents saying i'm not going to college just yet oh no no that's not yet sorry this is uh i jumped ahead. Nevermore is... It's about a chick. Everything's about a chick, right? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, that one's about a chick. Not Yet is about the upset with your parents. How many songs did we do? This is 10. Number 7 is called Pissin' You Off.

And this is about... Again, it's about... Brevik must have had a lot of girlfriends. I think we all did that left yeah that you broke up with cause he's sorry that he's pissing her off all the time and he's just wanting to know what he could say that's gonna make it alright

you're right about what you know Dan it's rockstar life for you I like this one tough being a rockstar ladies just like I know we're meant to be type thing that guitar actually

I don't hate the sound of that sitting here crying this is called it's so sad everyone's so sad again there's a song called Remember this is to a girl

imploring her to not forget the honeymoon phase of our relationship things didn't always suck. That's basically what this song is about. Hold on, let me jump ahead.

I can't believe we actually recorded all this. Yep, that'll come on. Oh my god, this is amazing. There's one called Rich and High, which seems to be a deceiving The only problem was the other guy Getting in the way of you There's one called Rich and High, which seems to be a deceiving title, but it's aimed at parents and authorities. Okay, I'll play the end of the song. I believe that might be some sort of a play on Richland High.

Oh. It's allland High. Oh. It's all about school. Yeah. Are we all very anti-parent? I remain anti-parent. Okay, here's the end of the song. You are a parent. Oh, there you go. in the hole. Don't have a pass at class. You go to YSS.

I don't like you. Go off to VVB. I'm sick of can't you hear? Fine, all in my last year here. Yeah, you're just leaving Richland High. That's where you're leaving. Yeah. And then

the last one is called You I Want, which is very much giving stalker. Giving stalker. It's like every breath you take. You ever hear that song? Yeah, yeah. It didn't hit me the first time I heard it, I don't think. Right.

Same with this one. I had to listen to it again. And then it's kind of like, I want you and I don't care that you don't want me. Like Trump said the other day, I care if the women want it. I don't hate the music. I don't hate his voice. Our lyrics just suck. I know you think this is what you need, but it hurts so bad. Have you thought about me? Oh oh we're headed into some dangerous territory

so basically you can leave me it doesn't matter. I will never leave you. And I'll be outside your window. You'll look outside. Yeah, that's tough. That's not good. I'm in the background going, I'm just playing the guitar. Yeah.

That's awesome. That makes me so happy to know that exists. Also, really makes me happy to know it exists because the last five times I've asked him in the last six months or three months, he's like, man, I'm going to keep looking for it. You had it the whole time. He just mailed this to me like a month ago. Okay. Well, I'd asked him, like, I know you have this. When you were in the Hab.

He's very good at organizing and archiving things. And I kept asking, like, we want this on the show. We want it. And he'd be like, I don't know, man. Don't know. I'm going to keep looking. He knew what to do. He's in on the show we want it and he'd be like I don't know man don't know I'm gonna keep looking he knew what to do I'm not ashamed of that like I said I couldn't play it and like just make fun of how

bad Jake is at guitar like it's not like grooves playing under the bridge yeah you know it's like that's what I wanted yeah now if my voice were on it I would be profoundly embarrassed but he was a good he was a good singer he was choir on it. Yeah. Now, if my voice were on it, I would be profoundly embarrassed. I wish it was. He was a good singer. He was choir guy. But obviously...

He had to go sing to old people at old folks' homes. Did he sing those songs to old people? No. Trouble with the ladies, though. Clearly, you guys. Trouble with the ladies. You don't like authority. Again, I didn't write the songs. All sad. You're like, yeah, I was doing fine, man.

Very teenage dirtbaggy. Yeah, yeah. We were not thrilled. You have to know, I was wearing a t-shirt with George Bush with a Hitler mustache on it. Oh, wow. You were aggressive. It was a very volatile time. The music we were listening to was anti-establishment.

Yeah, you released your feelings via your t-shirts back in the day. What are you dressing up as, Julie? I'm tired, Mom. I'm not really dressing up. There we go. Aw. Her and Blake. Just like Blake.

Blake's going out just wearing a t-shirt. I mean, I have like three costumes I had to curate between my two kids. Oh, and a dog costume. So that's about all the energy I had to give to costumes. My dog's in the mix, too. Yeah. What do we got? We had a little bee.

A little bee outfit for our dog. That's awesome. What's the animal in Frozen's name? I can't remember. Like Olaf? No, Olaf. The moose. Yeah, make him a moose.

What's the snowman's name, then? That's Olaf. The moose. Yeah, make him a moose. What's the name of the... What's the snowman's name then? That's Olaf. The snowman. The snowman's Olaf. Yeah, but like the... The snowman's an animal, no? That's a weird question.

That's the weirdest thing you've ever said. The question stopped me down. It's a reindeer. A snowman's not a human, so it must be an animal. What is its name? Oh, let me think. The dog is Donner's. The man that rides on the reindeer.

Sven's reindeer. But I'm forgetting the reindeer's name. Christoph? I thought Christoph is the man. Yeah, Christoph is the man. Maybe it's Sven. My boy watches cars.

Your boy just watches the 96 Atlanta Olympics to see when the gymnastics team pulls off. No, the 2024 because the floor routine was set to Lindsey Sterling. Nice. He won't up me. My dog's going to be a Barbie aerobics or like aerobic Barbie. I like it. Now, is that an animal? The dog or the aerobic Barbie? Barbie is an animal.

Sales at Amazon.co. Thanks for joining us, Julie. I have a good question. Is a snowman an animal? It's not like a simple question. It's not a gimme. A snowman has never been grouped into any sort of human versus animal versus whatever.

This is who's handling our sales. This is what we have. Why we're a mess. We're such a mess. Why'd y'all let me do anything? All right, Julie. We love you. All right, guys.

Goodbye. Love y'all back. Have fun. Bye. All right. There's viewer mail. There's Julie. Bye.

All right. There's viewer mail. There's Julie. Jake Kemp wants you to believe that he is a man of great character, but you can tell a lot about someone by the company they keep. Jake hangs out with drug abusers. All in the game. Hell, Jake Kemp's own father is a well-known soda thief. Put that shit back.

And worst of all, Jake Kemp has been longtime friends and co-hosts a podcast with a known Hitler enthusiast. That I didn't use myself for you in those years. That I was unethical. Let's face it, Jake Kemp sucks. Fucking suck! That I didn't use myself for you in these years. That I was not doing my time properly. Let's face it, Jake Kemp sucks. Fucking suck!

Our next watching party is actually going to be... I was about to say. The election. Lone Star will be involved. We will watch the election with Lone Star beer to either celebrate or be upset. That's what's great about Lone Star beer. They can help you in either case.

Yeah, let's finish the read. No, you say whatever you want. Yeah, I don't know. Celebrate? I don't know. It's just going to be fun. Yeah, no. No matter what happens, we're going to be having a good time.

Yeah, anytime we do something here. You know, sometimes the Cowboys win. Sometimes, well, very rarely the Cowboys win. Sometimes they lose. But either way, you want to have some nice Lone Star beer. Personally, I go with the blue can. Me? I like the red.

I'm a blue state. Me? I like the merch. That's right. See? Lone Star beer has something for everybody in this conversation. Lone Star beer, Lone Star light, and Lone Star merch. By the way, don't want anybody to not have this.

Oh, yeah, I felt naked. So this is what we will call football, the football portion of the program. And we're going to have a couple of guys jump on with us here at some point as well. But we can start in all kinds of places. Oh, how about cowboy conspiracy? Let's start with the cowboys. As we didn't really mention this at all after the game. I heard some talk about it, but kind of thought it was silly.

But then actually heard David Moore on the ticket saying, you know, I'm not a conspiracy guy, but just saying, maybe. The thought that Rico Dowdle wasn't actually sick and that they sat him out on purpose to let Dalvin Cook get a little play, I still think it's silly. to let Dalvin Cook get a little play, I still think it's silly. Don't you?

But I guess Rico Daldal, as you know, was scratched from the game like minutes before they were to, you know, hand in the, what's that list called? The inactives? Inactives. And apparently, afterwards, people were citing the fact that,

hey, he was mingling with fans and signing autographs before the game. And then all of a sudden he's got the flu so bad that he's too sick to even be active. The reason I don't think it holds a lot of weight is Deuce Vaughn was on the active roster. Like, why would he be up? Because he doesn't do anything. No, he doesn't. He's not going to be a running back, and he didn't get any carries, did he? No.

And also, I guess, just the idea of, well, why couldn't Zeke be the one to sit down? Oh, well, because that's never going to happen. Well, that's a whole other problem with the Cowboys, that you signed a guy just to kind of be a mascot. I would also think, and I don't know how this works, but I would also think that Rico Dowdle could report to the Players Association and be like, what is this? They're telling me they're going to list me as sick and I'm not?

Yeah. That's why I think it's silly. Yeah. Especially Rico Dowdle coming off what is probably his best game. Yeah. The Pittsburgh game. So why even would the Cowboys want to do that? If you think I'm going to be playing San Francisco,

who they're going to try ball control and, you know, like we. The whole thing is pretty weird, but I don't have a great answer for you. You've heard it though, right? Yeah. And, see, I thought your other one was going to be, people are sending us Comstock.

The natural gas company. Comstock? Yeah. That lost a lot of money or something? Jerry's really taking a bath on that. Oh. Stock-wise, so that's why he's not spending cash on free agents? Yeah, and just the general no cash.

They're one of the lowest teams in cash spending every year. Can't he take a bath in one area but still be... Yeah, but those guys don't look at that that way. That's probably why they're good at business. Yep, probably so. And we're not. And then a little bit more Cowboys controversy stuff. We, of course, thoroughly reviewed the Mike Leslie, Trayvon Diggs situation,

which, by the way, as I was watching baseball last night, I did at least briefly because I'm a complete egomaniac, but honestly it's because my wife thinks it's cool. I flipped it over to DZTV on Channel 27. How's it looking? It looks amazing. Yeah. Blake does a great job with that, man.

I was told by my wife that I could never start wearing a hat because it would look too weird because the three of us are right in a row on the screen like it most of the time and you guys are both wearing like black hats she's like you can't ever get into being a hat guy why dan does it you should do it too that's the thing is that she's like it would look funny if all three guys just had a hat on but the the real thing i learned is that you can say this on the radio not just podcast you can say it on the radio but not just podcast, you can say it on the radio, but you can't say deez nuts on TV.

Didn't want to risk it. Oh, you beeped it out? Yeah, I just dropped it. Yeah, it drops out. Aw. I guess you don't know. I don't know. You did the right thing. I'm erring on the side of caution.

That is, in this case. You could barely hear it in that audio too. Well, you can definitely hear it when I'm going, told him, why don't we talk about these nuts? When we talk about.

Yeah, then we're all laughing. I enjoyed that. But so, yesterday, I can't remember what I was doing, but looking at my phone, not at home, and Jonah Javad, I think is how you say his name, dude from WFA. He's done a bunch of good work around here for a long time.

He's like the other guy opposite Mike Leslie at WFA. They're very young at that position. opposite Mike Leslie at WFA. They're very young at that position. And he had posted a video of Trayvon Diggs' media availability yesterday where Trayvon and Mike Leslie are talking in front of all the other media. And Trayvon, I guess there's an actual brand of peanuts called D's Nuts because, of course, there is. Yeah, smart.

called Dee's Nuts because, of course, there is. Yeah, smart. And Trayvon has a couple cans, and he's going to give them to Mike Leslie, and they're all buddy-buddy, and they're laughing, and everybody's doing a photo op moment. So the PR staff of the Cowboys got to Trayvon and said, look. Without a doubt. Let's make this better.

He's not buying that. Let's turn it around. Let's make it funny. No, he's not buying it. Definitely not buying it. No, he hates him. He, he's not buying it. Definitely not buying it. No, he hates him. He didn't seem that into it, but he doesn't seem that into anything. Yeah. To be fair.

Besides Twitter porn videos. Okay, you're going to have to let that go. It was probably an accident. I don't think it was. So it was just really awkward because they smile for the camera while he's, like, handing them the ranch-flavored Deez Nuts. And then they kind of shook hands, but Trayvon went for more of the black guy than the white guy. Okay. So he kind of came in for, like, a hug-dab-up, and Mike Leslie's kind of like stepbrothers hugging him.

And Trayvon does the Trayvon. He's like, I'm sorry, man. And Mike Leslie, I'm not saying I would have handled this better. I don't have to go do this job. I probably would have done this too and regretted it. But he's like, I'm sorry too. I'm sorry if I misunderstood what happened on the play. He's like, did you need to do that? I get it. You want to stay in good graces with the play. It's like, did you need to do that? I get it.

You want to stay in good graces with the player. Yeah, it's kind of like... You're free actually to make comments and have an opinion. That's part of your job. You don't need to apologize if someone says you're wrong. But it's like an argument with your wife or something if you just want to end it all on good terms

and have sex later. How come that never goes the other way? Is it because of the thing you just mentioned? Because you're the one who wants to have sex. She doesn't. She doesn't care. I don't recall ever feeling like, boy. She's fine if I don't get some later.

You're just apologizing to make this go away. Yeah, she's got little, or what did Blake say? It was called Big Jake in the dresser drawers. Big Jake vibrates. She's fine whether she apologizes or not. So here's the funny part about it, though, to wrap that up. Oh, okay, because I got a funny part. Go ahead.

I saw the video, and I emailed it to myself and thought, hey, when I get home, I need to make sure I get this audio. But when I went to get it, it was – and I had also been informed of this by one of our friends in the media. It had already been deleted because the Cowboys have a pretty strict no video recording in media availability. That's weird. You're allowed to record audio? And I guess – well, you can't post it.

Think about like Machoda. When Machoda posts from Dak's availability, it's always a photo and the quote. What about... And the Cowboys will post it. Jerry post game. All of it post game. That's all good.

I guess so. Because they, yeah, they obviously posted Trayvon coming out. Mm-hmm. But during the week, media availability. Somebody else posted Trayvon coming out, like possibly even saw it. But that's at a game

and it's not even in the locker room. But I guess during the week, anything during the week, anything at the facility, no audio, no video. What's the thought process? They had to take it down. I don't know. Probably just because they can't. Well, here's what I thought the funny thing was.

So, yeah, Mike Leslie, capitalizing on the Mike Leslie wave that is out there right now, says Trayvon and I have cleared the air. He apologized for the hallway incident, and I apologize for misreading the play. He explained, we buried the hatchet with a couple of canisters of Deez Nuts that he presented to me after his interview with the press was complete.

That's when Brad Sham... I have no idea where this is headed, but I love it already. So I actually... Brad Sham didn't see that Mike Leslie tweet. Brad Sham responded to someone named Joel Hoyt. Dallas Morning News formerly Dallas Morning News, currently DLLS.

All City. Or is it Joe J. Hoyt? That's what it is. Maybe it's a different person. Well, it does say he's Cowboys reporter for DallasNews.com. Okay.

I thought he moved over. Anyways, yes, I'm very familiar with him. Does a lot of high school work, too. Yep. Anyway, he posted, just like you said, the picture. Trayvon Diggs talked to the media today. He apologized to Mike Leslie afterwards, saying he let his emotions get the best of him. He also gave him a gift.

Nuts, of course. Brad Sham tags on that one and says, where's the part about the reporter apologizing for misreading the play? Wow. Wow. So Brad Sham needs to make sure that everybody, all the Cowboys players know that he is on their side. So if you think this...

And what's even worse... This guy with the big giant shorts is not... The shorts are so big. He's not with all of them. He's with you. The weird part about it is it's not like what Mike Leslie did is the sort of thing you normally apologize for. Like if he had called him a name that was inappropriate or he had.

Like what? Shut up. If he had been mean or he had been pushy or something like that or he had asked a question about his family that was inappropriate or made a comment about his family. That's one thing. But so you look at a football play and see something and other people see other things, and now you have to apologize for that per Brad Sham? That's really lame.

Yes. Have you been here for 35 years? I have. Yeah. Let's bring it back to sports. Jeez. As they say. Let's bring it back to sports. Jeez. As they say.

Let's see here. What else did I want? Oh, following up on our Colts situation from Sunday where Anthony Richardson checked himself out of a game because he just said, I was tired, man, despite being the franchise quarterback that they're trying to build around. Did I hear they're going to start Flacco this weekend? You did. And going forward.

Yeah. He is now the backup, AR is. All right. So this is a funny thing that people, because, you know, the internet doesn't forget. Just a couple years ago when they drafted Anthony Richardson, and, again, he's been hurt. There were a lot of problems coming out of college.

Very few people thought, like, boy, this guy's going to be the – but enough people believe, like, look at the tools. The guy can do it. And, you know, he got hurt pretty early on, and he's trying to make progress, but he hadn't had that much time to play. So we throw back to the press conference where they drafted him and their GM. Let's don't expect him to be superman from day one and i think history shows there's not many of them that are superman from day one some of them it takes two three years to come home really

good player it's probably the one area where where i've seen it and this is even before me even being in a league but it's the one area where teams that the pressure for these guys after one or two years back I mean 10-15 years ago guys would get year three four or five I mean think about Terry Bradshaw he might not have ever played in today's NFL it took him time in Pittsburgh you know we gotta let these guys develop and play and they going to have some struggles and they've got to work through the struggles. Eventually their talent, the more they play, their talent will come to life. Anthony Richardson has

played 10 games. He knew he sucked. Yeah, but they took him fourth overall. Kind of right there he's saying, look, this guy is not even close. He also said you've got to let him play. That's But kind of right there he's saying, look, this guy is not even close. Yeah.

But then he also said you got to let him play. That's a great thing to say until you realize, like, oh, my God, they're going to fire me over this. Yeah, yeah. I think I might have a team Flacco can save. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, that's good stuff. Hey, let's shift gears right now. We want to welcome on – we have a couple of guests real quick.

Joining us now are two guys who are at the end of our Dumb Zone Knockout League. Apparently, remember how this year everybody was at, like, were you out week one? Did you even pick week one? No. Well, I must have, right? You must have. Yeah, I guess I did win then. I think we were out within the first two weeks.

But the nation, knockout leagues were done five weeks in. This league, man. Well, even this league, we had like, what, over 600 people, Blake? Yeah, over 700, I think. 700 people joined our knockout league.

And two people remain. So you think how easy it is. You're just picking a winner, not against the spread. You're just picking a winner. But by week eight, I guess it's been three people for the past few weeks. Yeah. What did the last guy, how did the guy get knocked out? He picked the Ravens.

Could you believe that? The Ravens against the Browns? He doubted Jameis. With Jameis? That's ridiculous. But what was funny is when we set it up, and I didn't want too many restrictions. I didn't want to bet against the spread.

You could pick the same team twice, and I guarantee you no less than five emails. Hey, so you're going to split the payment when everybody makes it all the way to the Super Bowl? And within two weeks we were down to under 50 people. Oh, like 50 people wanted to do that? They were saying like, yeah, well this will be

too easy. I can pick the same team every week and I don't have to pick against the spread. Okay, so we get to week eight. Down to two. And we're down to two. Joining us now, Craig and a person whose name we recognize from internet, I believe, Danny Biscuits. What's up, fellas?

Howdy. Howdy. Are the two finalists. Now, I understand somebody, was it one of you guys that emailed Blake saying? I did, yes. Yes, I did. Can we just split the pot? Get down to the last two?

Well, my reasoning was that maybe we could start it all over since we were only on week, I don't know, when was that? Like week five, week six, something like that. And I thought, you know, there's three of us left. You split the pot, and then you get to start it all over, and we all get to go again. That's a business plan idea. According to Jake, I'm a giant pussy.

For even suggesting such a thing. Well, in your email, I don't remember being told that you just wanted more action and to get back after it. I thought you guys just wanted to settle it up and go home. No, I mean.

That actually does make sense, though. It's kind of a two-fold. Yeah. You know, you get to cash out and you get to start all over again. That was my thought anyway. Sorry about Blake for shutting you down.

Money, man. Or maybe, maybe his foe here did. Yeah, Craig, did you want to split? I'm open to all possibilities. I'd like to get it going again, too. You guys would split it today if indeed Blake would allow that.

I would split it today and then we can fire this thing back up, maybe win it again. Yeah, and to be honest with you, it's making me nervous each and every week now. Every time I sit down with three people. God, I bet. I felt bad for Tommy last week. Tommy's a good dude.

Yeah, Tommy G was the third guy. Oh, really? Almost picked the Ravens. I almost was the third guy. Oh, really? Almost picked the Ravens. I almost picked the Ravens. Wow, Tommy. Why would you go against? Not against Jameis. Jameis was the reason I didn't. I was like, you know, they're putting Jameis in.

Weird things happen with Baltimore and Cleveland. I'm going to go with the Lions. This guy's an expert. So what do we do here? Not really. I think we got to let it play out. I like Blake's theory.

Let's see one winner. This is not – are we socialist? I don't know if I've pissed off enough people on the political front this week. Are we sharing everything? You're pissing people off? Why? Because I said if you go to a Trump rally, you're a racist. I thought you said the MAGA ideology is racist.

Yeah. I would say that's people who go to a Trump rally. I mean, TC and Josh went. If you go to a Trump rally on a ton of mushrooms like they did, then maybe you're not. Okay. Shane Gillis went. Did he? I don't know.

No, he saw him somewhere else. Look how quick Jake was going to backtrack. Yeah. Oh, wait. I think it's cool. Shane's awesome. Yeah. I kind of like what Blake's saying.

I like what Blake is saying. Let's just see. I just – maybe this should make me just stay with Blake. Both these guys really seem like they kind of want this to be a – They're stressed out. Yeah. Just thinking about it every day. Yeah.

I mean – My wife is way more stressed out than I am. I mean, do you start – You already spent the money? The thing is, I mean, you start something with certain rules, and then later you just change them because you feel like changing them. No, you're right. How do you do it?

I'm good either way. Well, we could probably re-rack after there's a winner. You know know one year I was in the I think I was in the Super Bowl for our fantasy league we could do both Blake

yeah and the other guy said do you want to split it and I said yes only because I didn't want to be the dick but I didn't want to

split it dude you don't have mom mentality no no I have I want to be friends with the guys in my fantasy league mentality soft sorry when I called you be friends with the guys in my fantasy league mentality.

Sorry when I called you that, Danny. What I meant was Dan. Who are we going with? Sorry. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. What do we have left on the board? You don't have to run them all down, but what are we thinking? Are you spending a ton of time?

Yeah, the league. It's another tough week, man. There's a lot of teams that are very capable of losing that are playing each other. Could we get you guys to agree to decide this tonight? Who wants the Jets? Put it on Thursday Night Football? Oh my god.

No. Who wants the Jets? Who wants Houston? Jets are favored by two in that game. Thursday Night Games are weird, man. I don't even like starting players in fantasy on Thursday night. It's just weird crap.

It's a short week. You know what's weird is that at least tied for the biggest spread of the weekend is Bucs at Chiefs on Monday night. That feels way closer than Giants Commanders. You can't bet against Baker just like Jameis.

That's true. Good point. Have y'all had any close calls? What week was it when Houston played the Jaguars? Yeah. Houston had to come back at the end to win that game. That was close. And the one that made me hurt was having to cheer for the Eagles playing Cleveland

because I hate the Eagles, and I picked them, and then they had their own struggles with Cleveland. Yeah, you both picked that game. Yeah. You know, what's weird is if you look at the picks, there's only three times that Tommy and I didn't have the same team. In those three weeks, Craig and I had the same team. Geniuses again. I don't know what that means, but I just thought it was interesting.

I think I changed from Cincinnati in week one at the last minute, and that's what knocked probably over 50% of the people out? Yes. Yeah, that was mine, Cincinnati, New England. I think it was injuries or something. Chase wasn't playing. I don't know. All right.

Well, so they don't have to tell us right now, do they? No. Well, congratulations. Yes. On getting this far. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Did they get to pick our charity?

Do you hate each other? So we're taking half of the pot is going to the one winner, and half is going to a variety of different charities because we want to give some to Jared's charity. I think we already gave some to Susan G. Komen Foundation. And you got the Brooke Jones 529. It's hurting. That's right.

Those 529s come in clutch. Yeah, just ask Dan. Well, yeah. The winner's got a big check waiting on you. Studio visit. We'll do it right. We've got to get a real big check. Yeah, we've got it lined up. Okay, cool.

We've got a big giant Sharpie check. Yeah, we've got it lined up. Okay, cool. We've got it lined up. We've got a big giant Sharpie and a big giant piece of paper. All right, dudes. We'll talk soon. Thanks, guys. Take care. Thanks, bros. Thanks for hopping on.

There they go. Hard to root against either one of them. You know, America? No. Hey, any good dudes, you know? Maybe we should let them split it, but I don't know. This is kind of fun. It is.

For us, it's not bothering us. Are we done with football news? Or do we have more football? Let's just go to the news. Let's just go. Here's Jake with the Dumb Zone News. Tomorrow, I do want to play some Nikki Glaser because she did another Thursday Night Football. Just putting that on the list.

Today's Thursday. Yeah, she did it last week. What role is she in? She's doing a set after Thursday Night Football, like on the desk. All right. And it's very strange. Huh. We'll do that, and I think we had some other football carryover.

I have Dan Campbell v. Chris Christie. Oh, you keep teasing that. I know. All right. A now former coach with the Mesquite ISD. Skeeters. That's a layup. Was arrested yesterday.

Did I tell you that news is brought to you by Frankel and Frankel? Oh, you did not. Am I the only guy that's allowed to do that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. My bad, bro. Frankel and Frankel. If you get in a car accident, call them immediately at 214-817-333-3333. Good people there.

When you call, you're going to talk to Mark or Scott Frankel. You'll talk to Gene Burkett. They know the tricks that the insurance company knows, so they know how to counter those tricks. They have experience. They have knowledge. They'll help you win in a courtroom. It's not just about getting you what you want.

It's about getting you what you deserve, Dan, with the Frankels. I'm going to agree. Frankel and Frankel. Call immediately if you get in a wreck. They're great personal injury attorneys. 214 or 817. Three, three. Oh, Blake has your mic off.

Blake thinks women are funny. Do the whole number again. Women are funny. Get over it. Three, three, three, three, three, three, three. You're familiar to call them if you get in a wreck, right?

Yes. We don't want you to get in a wreck. Did you just get rear-ended by that truck? It's her car. Oh, hold on. And it wasn't your fault?

I did. Cornelius Falcon, what should I do? Pick up your phone and start pressing threes, you ungrateful monster. Raccoon. Raccoon. Yeah, okay. All right. What is that?

Back to the news. I'll let you do a fill in the blank. A coach and teacher in the Mesquite School District was arrested yesterday on allegations... Is it messing with a kid or could it be some kind of

drugs? I'm going to guess the kid route. See, I feel like that's just too common and Jake wouldn't have us guess that. But maybe that's why Jake would because he's brilliant. On allegations that he had an inappropriate

relationship with a middle school student just according to Bald Springs police. When you say coach, you think man? It is, in fact, a man. Yeah. These aren't the good ones, then. These are bad. The student was 14.

He's 54. And he's like, look, if I was 80 and she was 44, this would be great. Everybody would be applauding me. What's the deal?

He 54, she 14. The police discovered videos showing him and her spending the night at the school together. That's a different twist on horrible crime. And spending the night just studying. You know what, though? You leave the pedophilia aside. I did always want to spend the night at school by myself or with some buddies. Like a lock-in at the school.

Just play basketball. Oh, in the gym? Yeah. Well, just have the run of the place, you know? Obviously paintballs on tap. Go make some nachos in the cafe. Right. Leave that bitch open.

Come up with some concoctions that Lunch Lady won't let you do. Maybe I want nacho cheese on my French bread pizza. Or get the Doritos. Put some nacho cheese on my french bread pizza. Or get the Doritos. Put some nacho cheese on those. Some good nachos. Yeah. Dude, did I tell you? You were in there when I was telling the message the other day. Oh, yeah.

Nora ate like half a thing of microwavable Annie's macaroni and cheese the other day. And she also had some crumbs, like a decent amount of crumbs from cool ranch doritos uh she ate the banana which is good because that's not the part i wanted but when i realized she wasn't going to eat them i just dumped all the dorito crumbs into the little

bowl of mac and cheese and it was like the best thing i've had wow it was incredible dude Like stoner food Just Sometimes it hits Sober The guy also Was texting her Of course The student

With words like Baby, love, and miss you As well as Could be a lot worse Yeah sure As well as instructions to Like what? Yeah like what? Just saying there could be a lot worse? Yeah, sure. As well as instructions to... Yeah, like what? Just saying there could be very sexually explicit things written in there, but...

Like tight ass or sweet ass or something? Something, you know. Yeah, see, you didn't play that right because you set him up to say it and then immediately had some suggestions of your own. Yeah, you're like thinking of... For what a groomer would say. It didn't seem like he was going to wade in that water, so I made sure somebody did. Well, that's not how that works.

You do your news stories. Oh, wow. He also had given her instructions to delete some of the text and to not let her parents know they were communicating. You don't text that. Nope. Nope.

You don't text instructions to delete a text. You call and leave it on her voicemail. It's Tiger. That's all you do. That's the easy way to do it. Yeah. That ensures it gets done. No trail.

You're leaving a paper trail. You're leaving text trail. You're leaving an audio trail. You're leaving a snail trail you're leaving text trail you're leaving an audio trail you're leaving a a snail trail so write notes this is the that's right like the really with your saddest so it's not your hand the saddest uh part of the story according to an affidavit the student 14 again during a forensic interview was downplaying the situation while demonstrating her deep concern for him and what happens to him.

And the detective said that is not uncommon behavior in child grooming cases because they're brainwashed. What if they're in love? They could be in love. They're 14. Like Mary Kay Letourneau and her 14 year old student.

But it's different because that was a boy. That's what Jake's saying. No. But yes. Sorry. I mean yeah. We're going to go away from the local scene for just a minute

because this is a wild one. State police in New York confirmed that a woman and two children intentionally went over the guardrail of Niagara Falls on Monday night. Ooh. Wait, now who? What? A mother and two young children.

Okay. So this isn't a barrel situation. No. Did the children go intentionally? That part, obviously, we don't know as much about. Or is mom tossing the kids over and then killing herself? Did they die? Nine and five.

Okay. Yeah, they died. That's hard to toss a nine-year-old. Believe me. I was going to say, how would you? Police say that they it was a 33 year old woman 9 year old

5 year old they crossed over safety railing went over the falls still investigating but they say it was intentional and that the family did not just quote stumble in

who is it that's never Blake you've never been to the falls no I haven't but and you have no interest it seems like I'm really missing out Who is it that's never... Blake, you've never been to the falls? No, I haven't. And you have no interest? It seems like I'm really missing out looking at a giant waterfall. It's pretty crazy. Dude, it's amazing.

I gotta tell you, it's pretty crazy. Look at all this water falling. I mean, it's a lot, dude. Like, are you interested in the Grand Canyon? Or are you like, oh, look, here's a pothole. I've been there, too. Not impressed? Oh, look, here's a pothole? I've been there too. Not impressed? It's a giant cell.

Look, a river down there. Because he's mad because he can't play it as a Nintendo map. Yeah, I had to get out and pause my Madden game to look at the Grand Canyon. It's a natural wonder of the world. Would you be interested in a volcano? Oh, look at it just sitting there. No, but sometimes they're not, though. We did the... I'm trying to think of something he'd be interested in.

How about the Amazon jungle? No, too humid. Mayan ruins? They're ruined. The pyramids in Egypt. Oh, who put them there? You bum me out. You know that?

Why? Because I just want to go home? Yes. No matter what he does. You don't want to go to France. No. You had an opportunity to go to France. Even like we're like, hey, let's go to Colorado for a couple weeks and explore and do the show. And he's like, why?

What's there? He would go if the eclipse was going to be here. Or if he could go play in some stupid friend golf tournament and eat his weed. Yeah, man, you got a problem. Then he'd be okay with it. I have a drug problem? Yeah, I'm worried about you. Let's see here.

I was about to do a story, and then Blake shot the wheels off this thing by not caring about anything. What was that story? Was it about your mom? I think it was about your mom, actually. This is kind of funny. I'm not going to do that one. Oh, what a tease. Hey, this is funny.

Not for you guys, though. Like, did you look at this before the show? Yeah, here, we'll do it. I'm just trying to determine. I can do this. I think this is it. So, we get one of these every year, right? It's Halloween.

This story is actually about a week and a half old, but I saved it. I swear we've done almost this exact same story before, but you got to find local places that people tell you are haunted, right? In this case, it's a salon in Grapevine. Like it's right over by Maine. And it's a really old two-story building that's clearly been there for I think it's the second oldest building

in Grapevine. It's been there for like 120 years. You've got to get the fun, wacky reporter to go out there. You've got to have a lot of sound effects. You have to overwrite it. You know what I mean? I swear we've done one with this exact guy before

from WFA. His name is Sean Giggy. He got crazy over the Maz run. He did, yeah. They got to use... He was out at 6 a.m. with the drum line or something. Yeah, you got to have that guy.

Was he getting Giggy with it? That's got to be in the copy. That's got to be one of his things that he does. Yeah, probably. That's probably a weekly feature. And if not... Imagine you're at the salon...

All right, see? That's all I'm saying. Yeah. Imagine you're at the salon, sitting there getting your do done, when all of a sudden, those hairs on the back of your head stand up what are the okay so if anybody took like uh like a freshman level media writing

course this is it where they have to hey getting your do done but you're hair raising because you're at a salon and it's also scary stand up what. What are the odds that it's a ghost? 100%. Used to be. If someone else made that claim, Lauren Jackson would not have believed them. But then she and her mom bought the Doris House, the second oldest home in Grapevine,

open to Renata Salons and their eyes. What's changed my mind is experiencing things for myself. She was often by herself when she'd hear a loud crash. And when she went to check it out... There was red nail polish everywhere. It happened multiple times, and the nail polish was almost always red. Let me take a quick time out here and tell you that I live a couple blocks away from this, and your foundation is constantly an issue in that part of Grapevine.

You just live in a 120 year old house and things shift and you have glass containers with nail polish in them all over the place they just they were roll yeah and he said they were almost always red isn't that kind of the dominant color look at this these murderous ghosts who only love the color of blood. And don't forget, you also have to talk like this. Oh, dude. Red. However, it was pitch black when one night, alone on the third floor, Lauren was fumbling around in the dark. Frustrated, she shouted.

I can't see. When I said that, this light switch flipped on. Those two things for me were pretty impactful in making me believe. Her husband, Chris, tries to find reasonable explanations, but sometimes even he can't. Once, he heard a disturbingly loud noise upstairs,

so he rushed up to find the barbershop door completely shut, even though, since buying the house, it has never shut further than this. Another time. They show it, yeah, like, oh, wow. The ghost levels out. This is the Doris house? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, and

they talk like it's Dateline. You know what I mean? Like a woman got murdered by her husband. It's like... And when they checked his phone records, he had called his mistress 12 times that same night. But they're just like, hey, some nail polish fell down. Then this.

Another time, the cleaning lady had just finished scrubbing the bathroom when the latch inside locked by itself. Chris had to climb through the top window to unlock it. Was it the doctor who built the house? One of the patients he treated here? Or the souls that passed through when it later became a funeral home? Lauren says she has no idea. But one thing she's pretty sure of is that whatever it is, it's a lot more friendly than frightening.

I know this sounds weird, but it's like celebratory. Like it's not a bad thing. It's not a negative thing. It's kind of a special thing. Where else besides a haunted salon can you get an experience? So, hair raising. Oh, yes. Nailed it. Hair raising. Now, I don't want to say this in front of Mick's company here because I don't know these two fine people that well. But she's hot.

But, that's a given, but I don't know these two fine people that well. But she's hot. But that's a given. But I don't mind bothering the other two of you. And given that, like I said, somebody just called me out for making fun of them for wanting to bail out of the league and split the pot, given that people are canceling their subs because I made the MAGA comment, maybe I should be careful here.

But here's the thing. If you believe in ghosts, you are a fucking fool. It just is what it is. It just is what it is. I'm sorry. We can't have that. We can't be believing in ghosts and be like a real society. Ghosts.

How did the door get latched, though? What about the nail polish thing? And it's always the red nail polish. Here's what I don't respect. How come your mind isn't open? Here's what I don't respect about people. I thought you were like a guy that... Yeah, so minded.

Here's what I don't respect about people who believe in ghosts. Because if you truly believed in ghosts, and you believe in their existence and their presence, you wouldn't be able to do anything throughout daily life without thinking about it. That's a pretty big thing to believe in. You've got to coexist.

Then why aren't you always like, oh, man, I should probably look out while I'm driving. What if I hit a ghost? You don't hit a ghost. Yeah, it's ridiculous. See, I think Jake is not grasping the point of ghosts. Maybe that's why he doesn't believe.

All right. They're just kind of spirits just wandering around. You just do your own thing. They're just here with us. Is it everyone who's ever died ever? No, only select few. Like in this case, it would make sense like the doctor goes back to that building, right? Why?

Yeah, for sure. Because that's where he worked for so long. People worked in every building everywhere forever. It could be one of his patients that was upset is now haunting the place. I shouldn't have said anything. That's it. I think it's probably a patient. Listen, on Halloween, why don't you just live a little and believe in ghosts?

I'm the one dressing up. I'm the one believing in ghosts. I have the Halloween spirit flowing through my veins. And look in ghosts. I'm the one dressing up. I'm the one believing in ghosts. I have the Halloween spirit flowing through my veins. And look at you. Just going to wear the same thing you wore to work today. Yeah, because I'm a ghost-fearing man. Today in History brought to you by OwnWell.

That is the property tax place. That is the place that Blake has used and saved money. You can save money, too. And as far as Ownwell.com is concerned, so if you go on there and sign up and you're trying to get your property taxes reduced, if they do not reduce your property taxes, you pay zero. If they do reduce them,

they take a small percentage of whatever it is that they get you. So if they only get you $100, let's say, they'll take $25. And this is the first I've really learned about these guys. I didn't know. Like, oh, is that a lot? Apparently not. It is the lowest on the market. So other places will take like 40% or 50% of what they're able to save you.

OwnWell at ownwell.com 25 look it up do your own research jake yeah and speaking of the percents 86 of people will save money again those 14 who don't you pay nothing i might also add that let's say you've already handled your property taxes for the most recent year well you could be like blake and uh just go ahead and set it up they'll check it out next year automatically.

I didn't do listener birthdays, so I should do them here, huh? Or not at all. I don't know. I think people like it. In fact, let's ask Stephanie. Do people like it? We love it.

You like to hear your birthday? Do you like to have it noted on the show notes or whatever, where it is, so that you can go find that and you don't have to hear all the BS that we do otherwise? Exactly. Okay. They wouldn't be here without this. That is true.

They wouldn't just be randomly emailing to tell you it's their birthday. That's right. Okay, fine, do it. Sorry about Blake. Then you could hear the leaders and all the funny stuff, right? Mm-hmm. All right, I missed this the other day.

Apparently this was like to the show email and Blake and I both checked that. Oh, dang it. Every, I try to check it every day, but I missed it anyway. Dear man in the boat manipulator, please show some love to my friend Mike. I try to check it every day, but I missed it anyway. Dear Man in the Boat Manipulator. Please show some love to my friend Mike.

He has a birthday on the 28th. He's working on his Derek Holland birthday. He also saw me the other night when I moosed my wife. It was an accident. It turned into something special. From Mark. Okay. This one is a tomorrow birthday.

Dear Uncle Cumcutery. And then in parentheses it says charcuterie. Like if we didn't get... If you got to explain the joke. But he didn't have to, though. Happy birthday to good listener Chris Edmire. The Boys is the best show on TV. More Dan, more Blake, more Crowline, more Julie. Less Heppola, less Heppola from Taylor.

He had to say it twice? What a jerk. Hello, Uncle Beaver Buddy. This is Joe from Prosper. Yes, I did buy from Prosper Ford. Hey now. Coming to you from the always reliable Hotmail and announcing my own 44th birthday.

Shout out to all the dorks who believe Jake did a month in rehab over a small drinking habit. More TC and Jade. Who's Jade? I don't know. Did he mean Jake? Is this a typo? I don't know.

Unlike with reflect and neglect, the D and the K aren't really near each other on the keyboard. Less incels hating on Sarah Heppola. Ooh. Less people using jersey numbers to describe their age. And less reading horrific news stories on a comedic sports program. Man, I feel like I do a pretty good job of that, no? From Joe. Like, I mean, I realize today we had a death and now I'm reviewing my...

Look who struck a nerve. Who's reading the comments? Yeah, geez. No, I do think... I know, he knew, like, oh, people are mad at me about MAGA things. We got emailed. He is so... We got emailed about it.

New Jake is... I didn't even notice it. Maybe it just came to me. I didn't check the copy list. I've always thought that, like... I don't know how... Dear LibTard. I don't know how the musers pull that off.

What? Forever, once I started to do the 130 news like i don't really do many hey here's a lady who got hacked up by her husband and her kids saw it over in forney i just i've never been able to really maybe it's a time news the news dude i know but we never do the news unless it was something particularly funny about it like hey they stayed the night at the school yeah kind of like earlier this week when two people died in a house explosion in Van Alstyne. Somehow Jake

made it really funny. Yeah, I know. Oh boy, now you guys have made me review my whole... Last one. Buenos dias, Presidente de La Penocha. Okay. I think it means President P.

Today is my grandson Camillo's second birthday. Camillo? His heroes are Jake Speedy Gonzales' racist comments, Blake's painted pony, and Dan's fantasy hockey folder.

Enjoy the Dia de los Muertos parade from Poyito. Little chicken. Other birthday... Oh! Other stuff on this day, I should say. Where are we on this? Today is Thursday, October 31st, Halloween.

This is the day in 1941 that work was completed on Mount Rushmore. You interested in that, Blake? Go on Mount Rushmore. You interested in that, Blake? Go see Mount Rushmore, huh? Big thing. Oh, look, they put presidents' faces on a mountain. Hey, real quick,

there were a couple things that I forgot to mention today in news. In Rowlett, there is a... In Rowlett, there is a special Olympian with Down Syndrome who is leading a Zumba class. And at Trinity Valley School, there was an Olympic bronze medalist who visited there to share some of his secrets to success with the students. Those are just two I forgot. Oh, look.

Do you guys want to... I can't believe he's just responding to that. No, I'm saying this is... He's a different guy. Do you remember when we did a full news segment of that during... COVID. George Floyd or COVID or something? What was it? Just positive stuff?

Yeah, just all. We did an entire 20 minute... Let's do that every day. That's when I think those zoo animals started. Like, who's your guy? Did overnights at the ticket. Oh, David Stein? Celebrating life through sports? Yeah, just celebrate things. On this day in 1984,

Indira Gandhi. She was India's prime minister for 15 years. She was assassinated by two of her own bodyguards. Sometimes it'd be like that. Yeah. Guess she should have been nicer. On this day in 1992, Pope John Paul II formally proclaimed that the Roman Catholic Church... So this is 1992.

Not that long ago, Big Mac. What do you think the Pope has to speak on in 1992? That... Women can be priests? Do they do that even now? Okay, so... I hope not. I'm going to turn in my rosary. I don't know. That's a thing.

I got nothing. Well, you might think, maybe, look, sorry about all this priest and kids thing uh it's bad bad bit none of it happened or what it wasn't that it was he was proclaiming that the church had erred just a little mix-up when they condemned galileo for holding the earth was not the center of the universe. 92? He proclaimed this in the 1600s. I would not have been far off.

I was going to say 15, so that's not quite as bad as Picasso. I only knew because I searched this morning. Because I wondered if Galileo had hung out with Picasso or Jesus. Could go either way. And on this day in 1998, a genetic study was released suggesting President Thomas Jefferson did in fact father at least one child by his slave, Sally Hemings.

Yeah, that's a tough one. He slept at a 45 degree angle because he thought laying flat would lead to too much blood flow to your brain. Did he just go to a museum or something? I went to his house. Monticello. And his bed was just like that. 45 degree angle. Like, up?

His head was up? Yeah. How else would it have been? His legs? Well, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. That's a dumb question on my part, because both of them are really weird. You could just sleep on a sees Well, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. That's a dumb question on my part, because both of them are really weird. You could just

sleep on a seesaw, maybe, and it would just go both ways. You ever try that? I guess, no. And in the corner, his sex swing, where he'd have sex with his slaves. I could see that. So you think that's a joking matter

having sex with your slaves if they're into it if they're into it I don't think any slaves are into it they might be into that more than some other things they could do I don't know I don't know let me ask you

you want to go out and work the field or have Thomas Jefferson rape you? But you're indoors. I do like being indoors. Again, I mean, just to define the word rape is, you know, it could have been... Obviously, there was a severe power dynamic in play there, but... A little Me Too.

You know? Yeah, yeah. We're going to have to table that one. Okay. Write it down. Elsewhere, Mike Napoli is 43. Legend. David DeLucci, former Ranger, 51.

Yeah. DeLucci. Fred McGriff, 61. Crime dog. Former Aggie, Sir Parker, 47. Running back? His first name was Sir? Yeah.

Yeah. I could be wrong about the position, though. Dan Rather is 93. He had a weird situation,, one, he kind of got disgraced over the whole Bush military records thing, but also he's still cooking. I don't know for who, but

he tweets and does reports and stuff. 93? Yeah. Alright, I've got to turn this off because... That's pretty good. If I've seemed distracted for the last couple seconds, it's because I left that news story up and they're playing video of the Special Olympics Zumba instructor. I can't focus.

It's just too funny? He's a very good dancer. Can't focus, though. Brian Doyle Murray is 79. Don't know it. Bill Murray's brother. Oh, I didn't know he had a Frank Stallone. Oh, yeah.

He's in Caddyshack, but he's also the mayor of the town. Groundhog Day? Groundhog Day guy? Okay. Oh, shoot. That was almost really bad. You just kicked your computer down. Yeah, I don't have a lot of space over here, bud.

I don't have a big table over there. I've seen, I like that movie. Wow, this is all coming out now. I didn't know he was mad about his... Taking shots at your table. His, uh, this big table. You can eat on it, can't you? I gotta eat over there. Or at table. You can eat on it, can't you? I got to eat over there or at home.

Are you upset about your... We can change the accommodations around here, man. I figured it out for the most part. Don't eat here. Look at the martyr. Man. Gosh, Dan. I never knew all this is now just flowing out of him.

Does this look like a place where I'm going to sit down and eat lunch? I mean, I wouldn't like it. And you know what I would do? I would say if I'm going to sit down and eat lunch? I mean, I wouldn't like it. And you know what I would do? I would say if I'm going to be working here a lot, I would change the scene. I do. You know, I would just do my own thing. I do struggle with. I kind of have the problem of like, yeah, whatever.

I'll just deal with it. Yeah. But what's great is like the guy that doesn't have to mess with the board or elements for the show wants more space for his stuff. That's awesome. Peter Jackson, movie director, is 63. He did the World War I thing recently, right? Nobody knows. It was footage that he had remastered and put to color.

You didn't watch that? Oh, really? Yeah, it's crazy. Okay, I'm in. He's the Lord of the Rings guy, right? Yeah. Yeah, it's... Just like crazy psychedelic colors or actual real colors?

No, it's not like reefer madness or anything, but it does make it feel a lot more real. It's all tie-dyed. Bad bit. Yeah, totally bad bit. Oh, did you finish the whole book? Almost. I have continued to read since I got home. The Guns of August?

Mm-hmm. Fantastic work. Dermot Mulroney is 61. He's like an actor. Rob Schneider, 61. He's like an actor. Rob Schneider. 61. Man. He's definitely taking a run at it with Jim Brewer.

He's getting all political now, right? Oh, big time, yeah. What about just being funny and stuff? What about making copies? What about making a couple copies? Deuce Bigelow, actually funny, though. I'll go to my grave on that one. The big man, the Trumpinator.

Deuce Bigelow. That's what it's called, right? Yeah, Male Gigolo. Male Gigolo. That movie was actually funny. Is it? And he was the delivery guy in Big Daddy. Yeah, he's in all that. Put him in the sleeper home. Yeah, yeah, I know. He's the you-can-do-it guy in Waterboy. Yeah's in all that. Put him in the sleeper home.

Yeah, yeah, I know. He's the you-can-do-it guy in Waterboy. Yeah, I like him. I mean, I don't know what he's doing now, but I think he's funny. I'm pro-Rap Snyder. It's because you're not woke. And he's got a famous daughter.

Elle King. Yeah. X's and O's. Big fan. That song's about oral sex. Rob. Axis Nose. Big fan. That song's about oral sex. Rob Van Winkle is 57. Carrollton. I think your former agent was his agent.

That's very true. Do you guys know who he is? Once upon a time. Stephanie, you don't know? No. Go ahead. Tell her. That's right.

I should have guessed. I believe he once represented him. Eddie K. Thomas is 44. That is Paul Finch in American Pie. Oh, wow. He kind of is at the nexus of the term MILF because he was trying to hook up with Stifler's mom is that where that was invented kind of

yeah and isn't that the lady is it not isn't that the lady from White Lotus that everybody's all into now because she went to double shot a double bubble but like the coffee what's her name I know who you mean that she's in that mockumentary yeah she's funny but kind of like always playing the same pilled up character sure yeah she was the mom if i recall correctly okay now you know accurately described yeah for sure born on this day now dead john candy

oh dude you know what's crazy about that? Wasn't he like 36? Way younger than you would think. He looked way older. Yeah. What do you know about John Candy, Blake? Okay, 43, but I would have guessed that at his peak he was 50s. Oh, this guy.

I believe Joe Montana looked at him in the crowd during the catch. Yeah, he was sitting with Picasso. Yeah, he was with Picasso and Galileo. Christopher Columbus, born on this day, now dead. Canceled. Yep. And Michael Collins, who is the astronaut that flew up with Buzz Aldrin and... Neil.

Neil Armstrong and did not get to walk on the moon. He had to just stay in the spacecraft. Who's he endorsing? Michael Collins? Yeah. Well, he's currently a ghost, so... You guys believe he can still vote, right? Isn't that what the Democrats

want? Right, that's part of the problem, isn't it? Dead people are voting. Did you see Buzz through his voice behind Trump? I did not. Is that why you're saying who's he endorsing? Yeah. Well, because Trump's pro-Space Force. That's true.

Kamala got Arnold. Okay. So, weigh got Arnold. Okay. So, weigh it out. Sweet. What a battle we have on our hands. I know. Dead on the Stay Still Dead, Harry Houdini, River Phoenix, and Sean Connery. Never with a closed fist. Yeah. Sean Connery. Never with a closed fist.

Sean Connery. Do you have to ask? You did an interview in which you said, it's not the worst thing to slap a woman now and then. As I remember, you said you don't do it with a clenched fist. It's better to do it with an open hand. Yeah. Remember that? Yeah.

Yeah. I didn't love that. I haven't changed my opinion. You haven't? No. Not at all. You think it's good to slap a woman? No, I don't think it's good. You don't love that. I haven't changed my opinion. You haven't? No, not at all. You think it's good to slap a woman? No, I don't think it's good. You don't think it's bad?

I don't think it's that bad. I think that it depends entirely on the circumstances and if it merits it. What would merit it? Well, if you have tried everything else, and women are pretty good at this, they can't leave it alone. They don't want to have the last word and you give them the last word but they're not happy with the last word.

They want to say it again and get into a really provocative situation. Then, I think it's absolutely right. God, that's right. That is so underrated as far as like, we should talk about that more. Because you can tell Barbara Walters, who is an expert interviewer, comes out of the gates like, Oh, yeah. Yeah, you remember that?

She's going to got you. Like she's got him. Oh, isn't that funny? Remember this quote? And he's like, yeah, I'll hit you. And his first little sound or whatever is like, you really want to start this? Yeah. He said absolutely no backing off that. He's just like, yeah, that's what I said.

Let me explain to you in detail why that is what I said. Yeah, there's a lot in that first five seconds. God, I can't believe it. And then he just kept working. Different time. God, it would be great if he ended it with, you want me to smack you?

What's playing right now? Is that my computer? I don't know. What did I do there? Oh, okay. I think it was... Okay. There we go.

All right, let's just do this. Maybe you just need more space over there. And that is the week in history. This is a big table. I know, that is a pretty big table. Anyway, we're at that portion of the program where we get to talk to
