There is real THC in these bad boys and you'll feel it.
You'll feel the touch of the micro doses.

These things are great for getting you feeling
right at earlybirdcbd.com.
Hey, you
sweet bastards.
Take the edge off tonight with some Early Bird.
Early Bird, make me feel so good.
Yep.
Early Bird, just like I knew you would.
Did you know our national bird, the bald eagle, its primary purpose in life is to build a better nest.
I don't know why, but I like that.
I'm with you, MM.
There's a guy on The Boys named MM.
What's the record?
What?
That was like seven seconds.
For quickest boys reference?
Jeez.
Outside of email and everything?
I'm sorry, man.
I didn't even prep.
Yesterday,
Business Wednesday,
I put out the epi... I was on TC's podcast
called...
The Dirtbag Culture Hour.
I knew I'd get there.
Why are you frustrated with me already?
I'm not. I'm trying to help.
I'm trying to help the show.
Anyway, we talked a lot about The Boys.
If you want to go back and listen to that.
I don't.
I will leave that to others.
I'm sure it was a great conversation.
Aren't you long-time good friends with TC, right?
Oh, yeah.
Many, many years.
You're a very similar taste.
No, no. That's not true at all. Damn, that was going to ruin what I was leading into. Yeah, yeah. Many, many years. You're a very similar taste. No, no, that's not true at all.
Damn, that was going to ruin what I was leading into.
Yeah, no, no.
I wanted to say because he's watched a couple of Eppies and he's in.
No, we don't.
We have very different entertainment tastes.
He's into superheroes and shit, I think.
He's definitely into X-Files.
Well, he was the guy trying to push space on you.
Yeah.
Many years ago.
You'd have none of that.
He's into heroin rock music where everybody just whines.
I'm not into that.
What's your genre?
This Country Saturday?
We do have some crossover
for sure.
He's a much more culturally
aware person than I am.
I like Katy Perry and
The Rock.
I'm not saying he doesn't like those
things. I'm saying I stop there.
Alright. No depth to me.
That's probably
the problem. We did both go to rehab,
though. Yeah, that's true. You do have
something in common. That's
probably the problem, then. You just wouldn't
really get
the voice. It's too deep.
It's just too intricate.
The character with the foot-long dick is just
too far above your head, Jake.
It's too deep of a show. They actually made
one of the guy's superpowers
having a huge hog.
Dude, you think a foot, it's like
he could extend it.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Clearly it's too far above me
as well. That's a real storyline?
A foot? Oh, yeah.
Can't remember the guy's name.
My parodies are going to have to go more insane.
I thought I had it down.
That's what I'm saying.
Is this a children's show?
It sounds like something again. It's not a children's show. Where did you think it was a children's show like it sounds like something again it's
not a children you know where'd you think it was a children's show you know how we joke around about
how like trump says stuff that the first episode the girl gets me too'd she's forced to uh perform
on a 30 foot dick no no no i'm just a regular you know how we joke around that's a first down dick
you know how we joke around about how sometimes first down dick you know how we joke around about how
sometimes trump says things that sound like what i would have said as a kid if i were president
like an eight-year-old or a nine-year-old you're like that's what i would have said
this sounds like he made this tv show like you know what i would do if i were a superhero have
a 30-foot penis and you love it i don't think he did make it. There seems to be some underlying anti-Trump stuff in there.
The commentary?
It just gets a little too overt for my taste in season four,
but season one through three.
That's when you know you're a real dork about a show
is when you start saying stuff like that.
Kind of lost the plot there in season four.
Yeah, you know, Game of Thrones,
they didn't stick to the books in six or seven,
so that's kind of when I...
Well, like Community,
you never watch Community, I'm sure.
But I think season three is when Dan Harmon left.
They ousted him.
Yeah.
And the season did suck.
And then they brought him back for season four,
and we're right back on there.
Like Trump.
Right back.
We're bringing him back, and yeah.
So we're broadcasting live to tape today, right?
We're not live to live.
Do we wave to YouTube?
No, we're not live on YouTube.
No.
Okay, we're not live streaming.
No.
Dead streaming.
We are live to tape in Denton.
Yeah.
Has the dumb show, whatever our show is, done a program in Denton. Yeah. Has the dumb show, dumb,
whatever our show is,
done a program in Denton?
We have.
The ultra marathon,
Ben Bridgman.
He lives up here.
Oh,
it is,
yeah,
at his house. Oh,
yeah.
Okay.
Other than that,
I'm not sure.
I used to live like two blocks from here.
Why?
Because I went to school at North Texas
Oh you did?
You got his master's here
I did
Oh
Lived here for about 18 months
Okay
You gonna go back?
Walk back by?
I'm here now
Oh you mean go back by the old place?
Yeah sure
Kind of walk through
Sure
The old guy in the club
Be like yeah this is where I
I loved it up here
Good time The old guy in the club? I loved it up here.
It was a good time.
This was not where you had Dante Hall or whatever.
That's a good one, actually. That would have been good.
Yeah, that was probably around X-Men or the X-Factor.
What do they call him?
His era.
But no, it was Arsenio Hall.
Arsenio Hall was the name of a hallway in my house.
Dante Hall.
It wasn't Scott Hall.
It was Arsenio Hall, where a photo that we got on eBay of Arsenio Hall hung.
That's still a great bit.
Yeah, thanks.
Just take the D'Angelo Hall to the other dorm.
Anybody else?
I'm probably good.
I think we're done.
This was definitely not here when I was here, though,
this being where we are today,
which is not a fire station.
No, it's called Station 222 where we are.
Yeah, it's an event space.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Okay.
And we're the event.
You see this open concept?
That's how you know they like to entertain.
Yeah, I love this open concept.
I speak HGTV.
Yeah.
We're sitting where there's, it's usually a golf simulator.
Do you feel the?
The green?
Yeah, the little green that we're standing,
the whatever you call it, fake grass.
What do you call this?
Turf.
Yeah, turf.
Was HGTV on at rehab?
I feel like that's kind of a rehab.
HGTV? Yeah. Yes. Yeah.GTV on at rehab? I feel like that's kind of a rehab. HGTV?
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
That had to be popular.
I've told you guys before.
Why, you're rehabbing a house?
Just like, hey, this is like us, guys.
We're fixing it up.
It's kind of broken down.
We're the house.
Yeah.
I had a load-bearing wall that needs to come down.
And look how you put it in brick by brick.
You can't just fix it all at once.
It doesn't magically just get fixed.
You really have to take your time.
There's 100% a market for a show,
like everything related to recovery.
They need to get an addict to do this,
and it would be called recovery real estate or rehab.
Dude, this is a great idea i mean they
i know when you invented youtube i actually did invent youtube i know
vanilla ice has one has like a home yeah because i guess he's in construction like he's a contractor
or something i'm not sure if all his jobs take four months longer than uh they're supposed
to or if that's just mine but oh now you're talking about your own no hgtv was definitely on
and i've told you guys that rehab is not a good place to go if you want to try to like push back
against every stereotype being true because uh one guy would joke around with his roommate about,
he knew whenever he had been in the room last,
based on, was it on HGTV?
Or he knew when his roommate got up,
based on was the channel changed to HGTV?
And that guy was gay.
So the guy who was known as being obsessed with HGTV
was in fact gay.
Not your roommate though?
No.
Okay.
No, he was also gay, but no.
He was not.
Stereotypically, he was very excited to watch the Aaron Hernandez show.
Who was more gay than I really knew.
I didn't know much about the Aaron Hernandez story, but I've been watching it.
Yeah.
It's pretty graphic.
Troubled man.
Yeah.
You have some notes?
Some thoughts?
A couple notes.
But my big thing is, I told you this last week, I think.
I feel like I've only watched now four episodes, maybe.
I don't know.
Maybe there's like ten.
They're really trying to make you think.
They're trying to lay it out that he's a pretty sympathetic figure,
that he was a sweet little boy.
He was just a sweet kid.
He just wanted good things for himself.
But then all the men in his life end up pushing him away,
except for the uncle who raped him.
Like, that just pops out of nowhere in season four.
It's like, oh, okay, they're trying to, like, see this.
Well, it's a common thing.
I mean, a lot of people who end up with sexuality
that they don't want to be open about,
a lot of times that does come from childhood abuse.
I mean, I think that's valid.
If you would like to take a...
No, no, I'm just saying that, that like men in his life were bad to him.
Yeah.
Either pushing him away or raping him.
That's not really –
It's not good.
Not a good thing.
No.
Generally, they wouldn't label it like that.
Urban Meyer like kicked him off – not kicked him off the team,
but apparently – I don't know what to believe either.
Did he really get pushed off the team?
He wanted to stay for his senior season because he didn't feel he was ready
for the NFL, and Urban Meyer's like, no, you're out.
I mean, it's based on a couple books.
I mean, I'll buy it because Urban Meyer seems like a bad dude.
Belichick, like, wouldn't trade him when he said he wanted to leave.
Yeah, I believe that.
His gay high school buddy.
Quarterback.
Who he got gay with.
Went to the Marines.
And then got married to a woman.
Yeah.
This is all true.
And then trying to kind of, my other note was they show him meeting the old tight end.
The Mackey Award, whoever that's named after.
Vic Mackey, I think his name was.
No, it wasn't Vic Mackey, but I remember the scene you're talking about. But he was like 80 in a wheelchair or something.
He's all beat up, so they're kind of suggesting, oh, that's like a contributing factor to his
CTE, perhaps.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, every time he takes a hit, they have like a flash thing to show that he's having
concussion problems.
Yeah.
It's pretty.
Anyways, we're at Station 222 and didn't.
At the behest of Taren Andrews. Wow. Give it up for Taren. The great Taren Andrews. We love we're at Station 222 and didn't. At the behest of Taryn Andrews.
Wow.
Give it up for Taryn.
We love Taryn.
Station 222.
Andrews as in Elvis.
Yes, that's correct.
Not as in Aaron.
I didn't know where she went.
I thought she disappeared.
Taryn?
She just got off Twitter.
Oh, really?
She just experienced the bliss of just leaving Twitter.
How many years ago?
Me too, dude.
I'm going to get off Twitter
and then I'm going to announce it to everybody.
When?
Lurking.
Lurking.
Yeah.
She was active.
And now not so much, folks.
Not so much.
Are you really upset?
Do you really miss just being really involved?
Aww.
That is sweet.
But there's a grill going out there. I don't know what the day holds, Dan. And then tonight, Oh, that is sweet.
But there's a grill going out there.
I don't know what the day holds, Dan.
And then tonight, oh, I wanted to give you a heads up.
Yeah, I'm doing a little Q&A tonight for charity.
I don't know.
Really?
Good.
You're questioning charity?
Yes, I'm questioning charity.
What is this for?
Well, you know me, so of course when the Dallas influencers in sports and entertainment needed somebody,
they knew who to call.
Okay.
They did ask Dan first.
I'd love to go.
Yeah.
He was actually busy with another charity.
Yeah, yeah.
But no, it's Charles Haley and Demarcus Ware.
Okay.
You know them well?
You've interviewed both of them?
I know both of them well enough to know what not to ask them.
Yeah.
Charles Haley, for sure.
Your redirect was awesome.
You and he kind of mixed it up at one time in our studio?
Yeah, I was trying to catch your Charles Haley mix-up lead,
which is quite large.
But yes, when we had DeMarcus Ware on, Dan asked him,
like, well, what's this tattoo?
And he's like, oh, it's for my son who died.
And then Jake comes in. My follow-up was, how'd you get into playing guitar?
I forgot about that one.
I knew we've had mix-ups with Charles Haley, both of us.
So how'd you get into playing guitar?
Just two, three minutes about the importance of the tattoo.
So tonight you might ask the guitar question, but you won't ask the other one.
Correct.
See, that's how you learn and grow as a human.
I know.
So how'd you get into guitar?
You've learned not to ask Charles Haley anything.
I know, right?
I'm a little, look, who knows how it'll go.
I don't think you ask anybody about their tattoo ever.
Just because it's always, you just never know?
It's such a wild card.
Could be a brother died, this was his favorite, whatever.
Why do you have a Tweety Bird cartoon or something?
Oh, yeah, well, that was...
Yeah, you just don't do it.
We watch cartoons together.
What's that headstone on your arm about?
I think that one's pretty cut and dry.
You know what?
You're right.
I've waded into these waters many times,
and I keep getting burned.
But I guess that's, you know,
much like the girl who yelled at me
on how to turn on my iPhone light.
It's memorable, though.
I've been using it.
I will remember it.
And you'll remember it from our show.
That's right.
Yeah.
There's another show I wanted to tell you that I started watching.
Actually, I watched the whole thing.
I just didn't watch the whole series.
But speaking of The Boys, which is on Amazon,
so I'm watching The Boys on Amazon, and I got done,
and I see Recommended for You.
And what was recommended was a show called Game 7.
Are you familiar?
No.
Game 7.
It's a series.
And, well, you can probably put together, Coach Joe, what this is about.
Yeah.
But it's about various Game 7s throughout the years,
like the Yankees defeating the Red Sox in a Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS.
You have the Edmonton Oilers in the 1987 Stanley Cup Finals.
have the Edmonton Oilers in the 1987 Stanley Cup finals you have the Cubs and the Cleveland Indians in the 2016 World Series or as the guy who doesn't the person tell me that they do like
a woke afication of no no I was just to say that's what they were called. The person who had to write this that doesn't really watch
sports wrote
in the 2016
World Series Finals.
Yeah, okay. I don't think you would say that.
And then you got another... Anyway,
oddly enough,
this features
episode three
is
the 2006 NBA... Western Conference? Episode 3 Is The 2006
NBA
Western Conference
Western Conference Finals
Hell yeah
With the Mavs
Defeating the Spurs
And it's an hour
And it's real cool
How it goes back through
Kind of like
How this rivalry
It's not really a rivalry
Kind of until now
Because that's when the Mavs win one
Finally
But it's about how You know Duncan and Ginobili and Tony Parker had won a few
championship couple at least already.
And then Dirk's rise but fall and how Dirk wasn't that good.
Nobody really – you know, he's soft and all that kind of stuff.
But it's very, very cool.
I didn't remember a lot of things, as you know me.
Is that the Ginobili missed free throw?
I'm trying to remember.
Well, I'm just going to note what I didn't remember was Jason Terry was suspended for game six
because he punched Michael Finley in the junk.
Yeah.
And Michael Finley, you know, it goes through how Finley brought along Dirk and Nash under his wing,
and then Nash left, and now it's just Dirk, and Finley's there.
And it's really cool.
Also, it's another case against momentum because the Spurs were down 21 at home
in that game.
Manu Ginobili hits a three with 32 seconds left to put them ahead.
And then the Mavs ended up winning anyway.
The Mavs tied it up.
They go to overtime.
Sagana Jopp was their center for the entirety of overtime
because Eric Dampier fouled out.
If you want to think about what a crappy roster that really was.
I'm so glad that's all behind us, and really that they got the 1-11
because that team, how did they make it?
Damp.
The dust chip.
Yeah, Dirk might have been even better than we think.
I wrote that.
When he retired, I wrote an article about that for The Athletic.
Like if you look at all those rosters around him.
Yes, and any of his advanced stats,
nobody puts him up there of that era as the best player.
We still have to argue about Kevin freaking Garnett.
It's not even close.
Yeah, I don't think there's an argument.
Well, maybe it's a national argument.
I was going to say, you think that because we're here.
Nationally, it's 50-50.
Yeah, absurd.
So anyway, that's my suggestion to you.
I know you won't listen to me about the boys,
but if I can at least get you to Amazon to watch something.
Yeah, I'll consider it.
iPhones are going off left and right.
What do we got?
Uh-oh.
Does anybody know where Tawakoni is?
There's a lake there.
Is that East Texas?
Yeah, Lake Tawakoni. Yeah, well, if anybody here is missing a 16-year-old white female, know where to walk and he is there's a lake there is that east texas yeah lake to walk in he yeah
well if anybody here is missing a 16 year old white female um caller well no you're supposed
to look for oh did they uh did they have any like radio audio during that the mavs episode
because they reached out to me I think three or four years ago
for old Bob and Dan
during that time.
Oh, really?
That series?
That show.
Now, unfortunately,
that was kind of before
Jake got on board
and archived every show.
So what I gave them
was very limited.
I was just curious
if anything made it.
But you would have probably
said something if it did.
Yeah, I don't think so, no.
They did have some local sports talky stuff yeah but i guess not uh anything from us yeah i
think we might have gone to that series yeah i probably like left at halftime or something
i could only send him like a couple segments um but it was cool i think they sent it out to most
of the local sports radio stations and i sent them what I could hoping to get you guys on.
Yeah.
Once Jake joined us,
he's like,
you know,
you can just easily save every second of every show.
Yeah.
Cause we had this really intricate system that we would save certain
segments and then we would label it.
And it was just like this huge thing.
And Jake's like,
like,
you know,
this thing called Dropbox.'s like like you know this thing called
dropbox we're like no i fooled bob and dan into thinking that i was a really good producer simply
by acting like i invented dropbox yeah yeah you guys aren't gonna believe this but uh for a low
price i'm like buying like all of discs to burn everything on cabinets labeling i'm like no this
also let me tell you about this video app I came up with called YouTube.
You'll hear about it.
Well, Blake, I didn't know what an app was at the time,
but I did create the concept of YouTube, and there are witnesses.
There are witnesses.
You just put videos on your phone.
And look at you now.
Look at us.
We're on it.
Oh, I wanted to do just a quick hit election night back sell
because we did election night.
So if you want to go to our YouTube page, you could see.
Back sell.
You could see us.
Back sell.
Most people I think there were rooting for the other team.
So every time we do a stream.
There was a guy with a MAGA shirt on under his hoodie though,
but he didn't take his hoodie off until he left.
Yeah, no, he was a good dude.
See you, bitch.
Yeah.
No, but I just wanted to shout out to Marv.
The great Marv.
Who goes all out.
Do you know who Marv is?
How could you not?
Naughty Ben Franklin.
He was dressed as Ben Franklin.
He had a Ben Franklin wig.
He had the whole whatever, 1776 outfit.
He just didn't have a kite and a key.
Everything else looked exactly like Ben Franklin.
I don't think he had syphilis either, but I don't know.
Did that what he died from?
Yeah, he got around, I think.
Ben Franklin?
Pretty sure.
No, Blake, he might have been one of the few powerful.
Dude, of course he got around.
You think there were a lot of faithful leaders of government in 1770s?
George Washington was.
Absolutely not.
An American hero.
I'm not saying they're not American heroes.
I'm just saying they were spraying that skeet everywhere.
Yeah.
That's what comes with the territory.
Anyway, shout out to Marv.
He brought us some Lone Star Tallboys so you can watch that.
Oh, and you know, I forgot to mention,
if we're going back and looking at old videos,
do you know that Wire Will's brother, Wire Scott,
remember when he came to a game last year and then he had a bid?
I think a precursor to my bid on Steve Noviello's show,
I think he wore a different hat every quarter or something.
Something like that.
And he just did it for himself so he could go back and watch it and then laugh.
Well, on this one, he's like, I got another bit.
And he asked if he could hide – he had this big bag of shirts.
Yeah, I saw.
And he said, can I hide this in your bathroom under the sink?
And I said, yeah.
So he would go in there every 15 minutes or so and change shirts.
I don't know how many different shirts that you can go back and watch our last game stream.
Yeah, I mean, I love the dude.
But when he left the bathroom one time, I saw his shirt and I was like, hey, are you wearing a different shirt than you were wearing before?
And he gave me like the real like mischievous.
I was like, I don't think it's that big of a deal.
Like, hey, don't spoil it, dude.
Spoiler, you'll spoil this awesome bit.
I was like, okay, it's a different shirt.
I thought I should mention it at some point.
Yeah, I mean.
And there I did.
I love people doing their own bits.
So on today's program, not only will we have closing remarks with Taren.
Very exciting.
Remember, today is Thursday.
So it's week two of the big Thursday mailbag thingy.
I hope if you guys brought any mail, like if you get some mail throughout the week,
this is the place we can put it because everybody else would do it on a Friday.
We are innovative here.
Yep.
We'll do it on a Friday. We are innovative here. Yep. We'll do it on a Thursday.
We have an MBR.
Ooh, spicy.
Which is a monthly business review.
This guy knows.
These guys.
There's business people here.
This guy doesn't.
There really are.
I love business people, man.
I like talking to them and then I feel like something's going to rub off on me. I love business people, man.
I like talking to them, and then I feel like something's going to rub off on me at some point. At some point.
It hasn't yet.
I had a business lunch yesterday.
Power?
I wore my business jeans.
It was great.
It was pretty warm out, too.
That's serious.
What's up with this weather, guys?
All right. What's up with this weather, guys? All right, what's next?
And we have Cowboys Today.
We could start with that, if you would like.
Sure.
And it's going to be brought to you by Lone Star Beer.
Speaking of Marv and his tall boys and Lone Star Light,
I will go the blue can.
Me?
I'm a red guy.
You're a red can guy?
Yeah.
But somehow we can still coexist.
You know, that's what it's all about.
That's what it's all about when you're the National Beer of Texas.
We need to come together.
Yeah.
So Lone Star Beer, Lone Star Light, we appreciate their sponsorship.
And they actually have cool,
they got great beer, of course,
but they have cool merch.
And if you go to their website,
the Dumb Zone 21 is set up.
Go to lonestarbeer.com,
use the code DumbZone21,
and you get 21% off merchandise.
Like, I wasn't putting that together.
I was going to stop at 20.
I'm like, that's silly.
Yeah.
Would Lone Star Beer shortchange you like that?
Of course not.
No.
That's their slogan as of right now.
They'll go the extra 1%.
It's better every day.
You must be 21 to purchase that merch.
So, yeah, LoneStarBeer.com.
Don't forget about Lone Star Light.
Authentically Texan, crisp flavor, perfect with a tray of barbecue,
and they are celebrating 140 years of brewing in Texas.
Thank you, Lone Star Beer.
Now, this.
From the wonderful world of sports, radio sports, scoreboard.
Oh, yeah, I like that.
I suppose this could be DFW Sports Today today
if you wanted to quick hit the Mavs game or something
because I know you're hot on Mavs these days.
Yes, yes.
They beat the breaks off of the Bulls last night.
It was a fun Luka game.
You look at his line, he went 8 of 19.
And it's another poor shooting night.
He went 0 of 5 in the fourth when they were up by 20.
But he had some silly passes last night.
Another game without Lively.
Game without PJ.
Don't know how bad that is. So they started Najee Marshall. What's PJ's thing? I think it was without P.J. Don't know how bad that is.
So they started Najee Marshall.
What's P.J.'s thing?
I think it was a knee.
Okay.
Not great.
Not great.
Wasn't as big of a problem not having Lively as it was the other night with Utah
because Chicago's not very big.
But they need that guy badly.
But, I mean, he was throwing and one passes, Luka was,
and they just dominated.
They play – they get out and run quite a bit now.
Their pace, transition, they're up there.
They're an athletic, fun team.
It was Kyrie first quarter time.
That's always fun.
I think there's a lot of Mavs excitement,
and I think part of it is the Cowboys –
Doesn't hurt. Drop off. Yeah. I was talking to a dude yesterday who just wanted lot of Mavs excitement, and I think part of it is the Cowboys drop off.
Yeah.
I was talking to a dude yesterday who just wanted to talk Mavs,
and he had a couple of Cowboy things.
He's like, who cares, though?
He's like, do you really think the Mavs are this good?
I'm like, I kind of think they are.
They've got to figure a couple things out.
They've got to kind of try to stay healthy, but they're in good shape.
82 games, yeah.
Suns tomorrow night.
I think they've only lost once.
Big Friday night Mavs-Suns home game.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm fired up.
And then I think from what I've heard, the Stars are still playing.
I think they are still playing.
They actually haven't played since they've been home from Finland.
Just to let you guys know.
Well, you know, it's the time difference thing.
Yeah. Or something.
What do you think Finland is?
Where? Yeah. North.
Yeah, okay.
How do you like that?
I think it's near Sweden.
Okay, yeah. Kind of.
Maybe there's another one there too.
You're on a roll.
Keep going.
A couple of countries.
I think Santa Claus was invented there.
Okay.
Is that true?
Something like that, yeah.
And I think guys from Finland love to come here and play Flipper.
Ah, that's right.
You remember Flipper?
Yeah, they had a different name for it.
When I ran into Yeri Lettinen and Nico Kapanen,
and like all the Finns would hang out together.
It's still the case now.
Is it?
Yeah.
And, yeah, they said they were going to play flipper,
and I'm like, huh, okay.
And then kind of followed them into the bar,
and it was a pinball place.
So pinball is flipper to them.
That would make sense.
Yes.
It describes.
It makes total sense.
Let's go play flipper.
But in Cowboy News, big trade deadline day.
Yeah.
And Jerry was right.
If you remember after the game the other night,
said they got some things in the oven, some things cooking.
They made a big move.
I guess.
They added a wide receiver, Jonathan Mingo, which appears to be –
It's getting panned pretty hard.
I'm trying to find someone to say this is a good move at all.
The most positive you could get is like, I mean.
He's young.
Young.
You got a couple years of control.
Yeah.
But it kind of stops there because then you say,
I would not have given up a fourth rounder for him.
And I think especially when you look over at the Chiefs
with DeAndre Hopkins for a fifth rounder
or Devontae Adams for a fourth rounder
or a guy on his own, Deontay Johnson,
who was a better receiver on the Panthers.
He goes to the Ravens like the week before,
just a couple days before, right, for a fifth rounder.
he goes to the Ravens like the week before,
just a couple days before, right, for a fifth rounder.
Now, maybe all those guys, at least a couple of those guys,
are on the last year of their deal.
So you factor that in.
They'll also want to get paid afterwards.
Yeah, you do.
But if somebody's like, hey, I have this, I don't know,
like I'll give you a brand new car,
but you only get to keep it for a year, or for the same price I'll give you a brand new car, but you only get to keep it for a year.
Or for the same price, I'll give you a pretty shitty car that barely runs and you can have it for as long as you want for the same price.
It doesn't make any sense.
It doesn't matter if he's under contract for two more years.
First of all, he's not a first-round pick, so it is only two years.
It's a four-year deal.
There's no option.
So even if he balls out, what are you getting?
This season is gone-gone. So what? Two years
of a guy who
thus far has been terrible? That's not really
a selling point
to me. I heard Saad,
the great Saad Youssef, on his
podcast saying
he thinks it's about
the next few years as far
as needing to pay Micah Parsons.
Sure.
Still paying Dak and CD that you're looking for some kind of cost certainty.
You could also just use your own pick.
Yeah, but in their mind, they're now like,
well, now we can use picks next year for a position that's not wide receiver.
Yeah, that's fine.
But it does seem a little flippant that unless something transpires
where we're just going to learn the Trey Lance-Jonathan Mingo connection next year
and the picks they've traded away are going to bring them a bounty of riches.
But we know Dak's going to be the quarterback.
Now, the interesting thing is we don't know if he's going to be the quarterback
at all for the rest of the year this year.
They say it was worse.
So they didn't put him on IR, right?
No, they didn't.
Oh, he did get put on IR. Okay.
But he may not be back at all.
So IR is four games?
Yes, minimum.
Although they may be setting it up for like a well, you know, we're 3-9.
So, what's the point?
What's the point of bringing him back?
I don't know.
The whole thing is such a mess.
It's ridiculous.
Does McCarthy come back?
No.
Well, the DAC injury does work really well for him.
Yeah.
It was like Chris Gronkowski talking about Romo.
But are you about to –
I thought that was interesting, by the way.
That's how Chris Gronkowski looks at that injury.
What did he say?
Just that he got Romo killed and the team already sucked kind of that year
or wasn't going to look that great.
And then they were like, oh, the only reason we were bad is because Romo was hurt.
Gave him a huge deal.
Anyways, yeah.
So we have a Cowboy family member tweet of the day.
Oh, good.
Back up to the stage, we've got Terrence Parsons.
You can't get off Twitter ever.
Me?
Because this gold.
Oh, yeah.
In general, yeah.
So another member of Cowboys
Twitter, I guess he's
a podcast, blog guy
I don't know.
It's Fangio versus McCarthy once
again and looking back at the Miami game from last
year, I have to know why they stopped using
Lamb like they used him in the first quarter.
He tore it up in the first by stacking him
bunching him, trips, motion with him or
others, then poof, gone.
And lending his two cents to this, Terrence Parsons Jr. just tweets it with,
Story of the Mike McCarthy era.
Just chill out, everyone.
But no, this is what we do.
And who were we talking about?
Oh, back to...
At least my mom only tells me when she's mad at you.
She doesn't tell everybody.
Back to Chris Gronk.
Yeah.
He was saying that Belichick actually pulled Rob aside and said,
hey, tell this guy to stop saying stuff.
Is McCarthy a guy that will pull anyone aside on this team
and say, hey, talk to your family member.
This isn't good for the Cowboys.
Or does he not do it because Jerry thinks it is good for the Cowboys?
He loves it.
He loves that you are reading this tweet right now
because you are talking Cowboys and people are excited about the Cowboys.
Sorry, I'm just reading through more
of Terrence Parsons Jr.'s tweets.
I missed a couple.
He is a big fan of the R-word.
Oh yeah?
I'll have a little bit of Cowboy
audio from you. Of course, we know in the game the other day
where Cole's
Kirk Cousins diced him up.
There was that Darnell Mooney touchdown where Trayvon Diggs looks very confused
and also kind of tried to complain for an offensive pass interference
on a pick play.
And if you recall, the week before, Trayvon was on with Michael Parsons
and did the, hey, we got outcoached.
Kyle Shanahan just had a better game plan.
They made adjustments at halftime.
We didn't adjust to them. I think Mike Zimmer has had about enough of hearing about the scheme.
Garrett. Garrett Porel, CBS Sports. Mike, last week Trayvon said, you know,
players are still getting adjusted or used to your scheme. When you see a play like the Mooney
wheel route for a touchdown, what are your thoughts on where your personnel stands with their comfort
with your scheme at this point in the season?
Again, you'd have to ask them that.
I mean, it was man to man.
Let's go to the next question here.
Hey, yeah, I don't know how they're not grasping.
It's the simplest shit that we teach five-year-olds in every single sport.
That guy, run where he runs.
Is it cover four?
What does that mean?
Yeah, we go to the field side instead of the boundary
where we roll the coverage over there and we kind of match up.
And if he breaks off, we're running zone underneath.
He's like, no, it's man-to-man.
So, I don't know.
In the video, he does kind of give like a hand up type.
What do you want me to say?
And I think there's a little bit more there because Zimmer naturally plays like a lot of zone.
Yeah.
And the Cowboys played a lot of man under Dan Quinn.
And so when they got off to a slow start, I bet the guys were like, let's run more man coverage.
Yeah.
So he calls it.
Yeah.
And then they do that.
I like that.
This is what you wanted, right?
Maybe he's used to practicing against the Cowboys,
and so that's why he was running up to the sticks.
Like he knew there's no way he could throw it past the first down marker, and then all of a sudden.
Oh, man.
Well, at least we don't have several more streams i will
make it fun folks did you read this the other day off twitter out of 126 players with 75 targets or
more over the last two seasons jonathan mingo ranks 126 in the nfl for success rate yeah and
i mean on one hand you'd look at that and be like, well, he has a terrible quarterback situation, right?
Like Andy Dalton was okay, but Bryce Young.
The thing is when you make it 175 receivers,
so you're basically talking about four per team and then some,
lots of those guys also have bad quarterbacks.
Yeah.
So to be the last in anything, not great, bud.
Hey, do you think that's one of the firefighters who kept this building
from burning down?
Indeed, I do.
Do you think they just go by the next day and imbibe their work?
Yeah.
Yep.
You're welcome.
Wouldn't you?
Yeah.
Scoot up for the Denton Fire Department, everybody.
We know some firefighters, and they actually don't get to do it a lot.
I know, right?
So if you get to do one, you're probably going back and like, yeah.
You think this one's funny?
Are they all like Jimmy Nelson?
Yeah, I think most firefighters can do stand-up, like can do a tight 45.
Sorry.
A butterfly flew by.
This building did almost burn down yesterday.
Yeah, it did.
It's hard to believe because it looks great.
Yes, there's
more than just that stat on
Mingo. There's like five
or six very funny ones.
And then there's the gif
for the clip of him
where he gets led to the boundary
and he seems to have like a reverse understanding
of how you're supposed to catch a ball that's going to the boundary where he turns his butt
to the sideline and kind of jumps so he does his hands do land in bounds on the ball in his
possession but his entire body is out of bounds like he, he almost had to try to do it.
It's a very weird play.
Second-round pick?
Yeah.
Like last year?
Second-round pick at, I think, Ole Miss, right?
Yeah.
He won't play this weekend.
He won't play.
Why?
You know, I heard somebody say, like, oh, there's no chance.
It might have been David Moore or somebody.
But then I was thinking Amari Cooper played that week and was over there just going to go straight and then inside.
Yeah.
And he had five or six catches that day or something, but apparently not.
Apparently not.
So it's the Cooper Rush show.
Oh, my God.
This sucks so bad.
Here you go, Dan.
Here's the Mingo video.
Oh, he's got it up there.
Yeah, check it out. Watch. A little scramble drill here. Let me see if I can. Oh, okay. Yeah. you go, Dan. Here's the Mingo video. Oh, he's got it up there. Yeah, check it out.
Watch.
A little scramble drill here.
Let me see if I can.
Oh, okay, yeah.
That is, yeah.
What are you doing?
Like he made his feet go out of bounds on purpose.
What you do is you stop.
You stop and plant your feet.
Hey, I got to keep my hands in bounds.
Right.
He actually did a reverse perfect play.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
I've never seen that. Yeah. Well, my God. I've never seen that.
Yeah.
Well, hey, maybe we'll have Zeke back this week, you know?
Learning moment, rally around him.
Okay, hold on.
You said Cooper Rush.
The whole point of Trey Lance was, like, if Dak misses extended time,
then it's time to see what Trey Lance has.
This is the perfect opportunity to play Trey Lance.
Well, don't you think that he couldn't get playing time in the preseason?
He's not going to get playing time now?
Or, like, you know, he couldn't get ahead of Cooper Rush.
I think Blake is saying you just play him now knowing it's over.
It's over.
And that's what you would do.
So I wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple games towards the end of the year.
Then why do you have Cooper Rush?
Not every team.
Because you think you can win with him.
Well, the Eagles won the Super Bowl without their quarterback.
That's what I'm saying.
And he was playing MVP level.
Well, their team was really good.
But, yes, he was playing really well.
But what I'm saying is the Cowboys legitimately believe Cooper Rush
is like one of the best backups.
And what the hell do I know?
He might be.
And if they were 7-1, then, yeah, they would play Cooper Rush.
Okay.
But the season's gone.
So what do you have to do?
But they don't think that, though.
You're about to lose him.
Why not?
Yes.
Yeah.
In the offseason, this was the disaster plan.
If the season goes to hell and we're without Dak,
then we can see what Trey Lance has.
But if Dak comes back and they're like two games through,
well, I guess that would require rush splitting.
Let's say they're one game under.500 when he comes back.
I guess what I'm saying is they're not going to go to Trey Lance
until it's absolutely positively over.
Like let's say Dak is done for the season.
They'll have to be probably mathematically eliminated
before you see Trey Lance start.
Well, then it's a lot more difficult.
Because Jerry knows that when you play Trey Lance,
you're admitting that there's no point in watching this,
which I actually think is backwards.
Yeah, I would watch it.
Because I actually would watch Trey Lance more likely
because wild card, right?
Cut the brakes.
Well, you can pray for a Cooper Rush injury.
I think that's weird, dude.
Oh.
I mean, he's a very boring guy, but I'm not going to pray for him to get hurt.
Do you think God would be like, all right, I'll give you this one?
Like all the prayers you've had all these years.
You're a little more on my level now.
This one I can do easily.
If you thought you had earned a million-dollar prayer, no.
Yeah, he's –
God's like, I'm bored too.
I'm going to do it.
Done.
I want to see Trey Lance as well.
Yeah, it sucks.
We're doing a stream.
We are.
You want to announce any guests?
Do you?
Do you want to announce any guests?
Do you?
Well, since we are in Denton,
I will say we will have the voice of the Mean Green on Dave Barnett.
Whoa.
Good dude.
Yeah, former Rangers TV play-by-play.
He's allowed to associate with us.
We'll have him in the den? I didn't know if the thing extended to family members.
You know where we're having food from?
Like, would we be able to have Bill Sturm on?
Doodlebug?
I don't know.
I'll call her.
You know where we're getting food?
I do, but I want you to tell everyone.
Mesa.
That's right.
Is it Mesa Grill?
I think it's Mesa Tech.
I don't know what they actually call themselves.
It is the restaurant that is right behind the 9-11 Memorial and Grapevine.
Yes, it is in the same parking lot.
And Kurt is one of the owners there.
He reached out to us a long time ago saying he'd love to have us out, do something.
So he's going to come out, bring food.
I can't wait.
There's like a vacant, two or three vacant offices,
I believe a laundromat.
Wait, we're going to our Dallas studio Saturday, right?
Yes.
Try to remind this video man, if you remember,
the great Rob Chickering.
Rob Chickering, everybody.
Rob Chickering, video man.
That was about the same as the firefighter.
Rob Chickering.
Rob Chickering, everybody.
Rob Chickering, video man.
That was about the same as the firefighter.
No, we got to grab that picture.
Yes.
The 9-11 Memorial Mesa picture. So Dave Barnett will be there for the stream.
Are they bringing their Never Forget flautas?
That's not a thing.
You don't know that.
Dude, there is the 9-11 bar in Fort Worth, which we've somehow never been to. But it's a a thing. You say that, dude. There is the 9-11 bar in Fort Worth, which we've somehow never been to.
But it's a real thing.
It's called Bar 9-11.
And it's 9-11 themed.
Let's put it on the list.
Let's do it.
And there's steel beam salsa.
All right, dude.
This guy's on fire.
You know what I mean?
On fire.
Okay.
Damn, I'm not catching anything you guys are doing.
All right, what's next?
Do you want to do a big mailbag Thursday thing,
or do you want to do the October MBR?
Ooh, I want to do an MBR.
Oh, you do?
Yeah.
MBR is brought to you.
What, do you have an open or something?
There's no way.
I have an MBR open, but tell us who MBR has brought to us by so I can find it.
Had you gotten to a car accident today on the way over here,
I know you would have been bummed out.
I would have been bummed out for you.
But you need to make your first call in that situation to Frankel's.
Frankel & Frankel, their personal injury attorneys, 214 or 817-333-3333.
These are good people, and they will take care of you.
They'll get you what you deserve.
They have people that used to work with the insurance agents.
They know all their dirty tricks.
They're just people that you meet them, Dan, and you think,
I believe these guys.
I believe them.
Good people.
That's right.
Personal injury attorneys.
I'm still looking for the open.
Keep going.
That's okay.
I have it if you want.
Call immediately if you get in a wreck. That's also. Personal injury attorneys. I'm still looking for the open. Keep going. That's okay. I have it if you want. Call immediately if you get in a wreck.
That's also okay, Blake.
Family-owned client first mission.
Getting car accidents sucks, but I remember the last time I got in one,
and actually the worst part was dealing with insurance.
My insurance, the other party's insurance, it sucked.
Remove that part of the process.
With the Frankles at 214-817-333-333
hey claire you remember that one time the frankles got me that huge car accident settlement oh
cornelius falcon how could i forget yeah that was super dope was that a fart please stop talking I guess. It's that time of the month.
It's time for the Dumb Zones monthly business review.
And now the king of all note takers, here's Blake Jones.
You got your email up there?
Huh?
We're about to find out.
Rob's email just showed up on the video.
I was about to get a little hot singles in your area. Yeah, you're about to get out Rob's email just showed up on the video He's about to get a little hot singles in your area
Yeah, he's about to get pictures sent over there
A response to an ad
Like with our intern that one time
Alright, let's review the month of October
I got a lot for you boys
In the month of October
And let's begin with bad bits
And the first one I believe this is Halloween related.
And I think we were at a house that had recently gotten booed.
Oh, no.
And Dan says on October 10th, getting booed is a bad bit.
I'd never heard of that before.
Had anybody else here heard of that?
Like the kids do that?
Okay.
It just seems like they don't do it in your neighborhood?
No, but I don't know that there's not really any kids in my that? Okay. It just seems like they don't do it in your neighborhood? No, but I don't know that there are really any.
There's not really any kids in my neighborhood.
Okay.
Wasn't there a QR code on this one?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's now sponsored.
Everything's got to be sponsored.
And so what's the deal?
How lame.
I think, well, what is it, Dan?
You get a sign put in your yard and then you've got to do what?
No.
Well, no.
You don't usually get a sign put in your yard.
It's just that somebody will put a note on your door.
They will leave a little bag of goodies, candy, or whatever,
and it will say you've been booed,
and now you're supposed to boo three other houses with kids in the neighborhood.
It was like the ice bucket challenge.
And it's just like we need more candy.
Yeah.
Then you're going to get this huge candy night on October 31st.
But leading up to that, why not just do it as –
This is bored ladies without jobs.
I think I could take it a step further and say this happens in
like affluent suburban neighborhoods and the reason they do it is because all those moms need
to train their daughters how to get involved in multi-level marketing schemes for makeup
and candles and all the other things that they sell and so they're just like here's how it works
you tell three friends yeah you tell three friends right i'm rich that's how all life works yeah like what's in the supplements i don't know just tell three
friends yeah and we'll be a million like it uh we have a good bit and this comes from us discovering
who lieutenant dan was yeah the the hurricane guy yeah the star of the hurricane yeah dan said it's
a good bit that we just are able to find out about these characters now through the internet.
Yeah, I mean, that's...
The local news goes a long way in that as well.
Yeah.
But, sure.
But local news was always there.
Yeah.
Now you have internet to tell us the one in Cleveland and the one in...
Exactly, yeah.
And you don't even need the local news to cover it either.
So it's not just that local news can go national.
It's that just some guy with a phone can go down there.
Now, it's a gift and a curse because we also found out about all of the many crimes
Lieutenant Tan had committed and all the racism.
It took him about two days to use the n-word on a stream.
Lose his contract with kick, Blake.
Damn other jobs.
Okay.
You know why I love NBR?
Because I forget every single one of these bits every month.
Yeah, what is this?
This is just every once in a while we will picture you doing something else,
and it's hilarious to us.
For instance, on October 24th, we kicked around the idea of you being a cop.
Was I there?
Yes.
That's what's also good about this.
Urban Tree Marchants, where I think you jokingly said, like,
you were the only one of us that could get into law enforcement.
I could do it because it's kind of like Belichick with the defense.
Because you're a criminal?
Yeah, like I know how they think.
Are you a good cop or bad cop?
Good.
Yeah.
I like people to think I'm good.
Yeah.
And then behind the scenes do bad stuff.
Dan on a stakeout sitting in his car at 2 a.m. heating up salmon.
His partner's just pissed.
Yeah, I think that's an underrated or underappreciated thing about law enforcement
is just how much nothing time you have to deal with.
You think you're out there like the strike team just busting heads all night.
It's like, no.
I've been on a ride-along.
Have you?
Not a real one.
I mean, I've been with my stepdad when he was a cop,
and it was just kind of a here's what my job is like,
but not a real ride-along like you and Bob had done.
Yeah, I do.
I would very much like to do that if someone would like to invite me.
Okay.
But just somehow prove to me that you're not actually trying to get me killed.
Any law enforcement listening?
Hey, we had a cop up in the den the other night.
Yeah.
Yeah.
For the election.
Yeah.
I'd like to go.
Things Dan and Jake want.
So this is from October 21st.
Jake said he wants to be good at poker.
Yeah.
I think I have to choose chess or poker.
More profitable.
Poker. Oh, I have no desire.
And probably easier to
find a game. But look at the apps, though.
I want to learn how to play chess. I've said
that for a long time, but
you know, one of the things about
sobering up is you're like,
I can do everything.
I'm going to be fluent in Spanish.
My kids had something called Chester.
Yeah.
You're familiar with that?
I've heard of it.
Yeah, it's some online thing.
We thought, same thing, is when you have little kids, you're like, oh, this is going to be,
I'll be so different, man.
Piano.
I'm going to teach them chess. Yeah, by the're like, oh, this is going to be – I'll be so different, man. I'm going to teach them chess.
Yeah, by the time they're eight, they're going to be – You're like, oh, no, wait, they're not Asian.
You give up so early and you're just like, well, just watch TV.
Yeah.
What if you just do this?
Hey, one screen not enough?
Why not an iPad while you watch TV?
Yeah.
Here's a Mountain Dew.
So, yeah, they were into chess for the amount of time
until they learned there were other things.
In 2025, Jake wants a hot tub and a hammock.
That was your goal for next year is to get those two things.
Why are you guys acting like that's a lame goal?
That's awesome.
It's so awesome, honestly, that I probably won't pull it off.
I feel like hammock is overrated.
So overrated.
Oh, my God.
That's a bad opinion.
Yeah, look, I'm laying here.
Wouldn't you just say that about a bed, too?
Yeah, but now you're going to put it outside and you're hanging from a tree or something?
What's the draw here?
Even more body area to get bitten by mosquitoes.
It's horrible.
Now the front and the bottom.
I hate both of you.
Have you ever been in a hammock?
Yeah, my grandparents had one on their farm, and I loved it.
And theirs was old school.
Like, it was, forgive me, I don't know anything about knots and how to tie.
It was like rope.
Like, my grandfather made it.
Now they have them that are.
He made the hammock.
Oh, dude, he was a full-on self-sufficient dude.
He could make anything.
What happened to you?
No, he actually asked me that.
I actually distinctly remember him one time asking me that.
Like, what happened to you?
And you can't get in it.
You can't get out of it.
Your feet are always way above your head.
Spin around, yeah.
Yeah, you need loftier goals.
You guys are acting like every hammock is like a Monty Python bit
where you're like, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop,
like spinning around.
You just lay in it and relax.
I don't know.
I don't think – I think Blake's right.
It's like not as relaxing as you think.
It'd be really tough.
You kind of fall and you're trying to get in it.
What?
It's not easy to get in a hammock, folks.
Look it up.
Yeah.
And the hot tub, is that – are you acting like the –
are you saying these are like white trash goals?
No.
You just said it, so I wrote it down,
but I think you could put higher expectations on yourself for next year.
What are you going to do?
Buy Microsoft?
Is the portable hot tub
white trash or no?
I think, well, you mean portable in that it's
not in the ground? Yeah, like you just
put one up on your deck. I'm going to have to.
And then move it somewhere else. Yes.
No, I'm going to be a Halo pro in
2025. Aim for
the stars you might land on the moon, Jake.
Okay.
October 24th,
Dane wants to be selected for jury duty.
God, I hope that happens.
I really hope that happens.
I did when I went last time.
Remember, I told you that.
I wish I was on the jury.
You got filtered out or something?
Yeah, because I was a...
Your racist remarks?
It was probably my racist remarks.
There's no way that works.
Like Larry David style, right. There's no way that works. Like Larry David style, right?
There's no way.
Because otherwise everyone would do it.
You're like, oh, I get a free pass to be racist
and I don't have to be on Dirty Beauty?
Like everyone would take advantage of that.
So the only thing that's holding you back
from being really overtly racist is just society.
Maybe not me, but I certainly think there's a lot of people
that would like a free swing at it.
And then October
28th, Jake always wanted a fire ladder.
And by the way, is there any chance that a jury
he's on doesn't end up hung jury?
Because I'm going to not decide.
He'll just find out what everyone else is saying
and then...
Go against it.
I don't know.
I think this guy's got a good point.
God, that food smells good.
Go ahead, Blake.
October 28th, Jake always wanted a fire ladder.
Yeah.
That's pretty cool.
Like in high school?
Yeah.
Sneak out your bedroom window?
Yeah, it seemed like every cool teen on TV had one.
What was that show you were talking about?
Clarissa Explains It All?
Yeah.
I had to have a couple Clarissa fans in here.
I have a Clarissa email
to read later.
Yeah, I confused her
with the other anti-vaxxer.
Is it that one?
I'm not telling you
the email now.
I just said I'm going
to read it later.
Dude, don't spoil it.
I know.
People are waiting.
That's because it better be good.
Time Capsule.
Things you've said
about things that could happen
in the future
that I'm going to check up on.
For instance.
Also known as just like predictions.
You were the one that called it time capsule.
You named it.
I meant the seven sentence add-on, but go forth.
Jake says he'll never wear a quarter zip.
Yeah, it's not happening.
So in two years when you waltz in here with one, I'm going to bring this up.
This place is definitely – I was going to say this guy right here.
This guy who knows – he's got a golf simulator.
Wait, didn't Justin give us one?
No, that was a hoodie.
Oh, okay.
This guy belongs in one.
Okay, just imagine this.
Yeah, he looks good in it.
If you were me dressed like that, you would immediately be like, that's fake.
That guy looks like he can make you money.
I look like I need it for something quick.
You know what I mean?
All right, then two sports ones.
Dan and Jake think Deshaun Watson won't play again.
I stand by that.
Like, okay, just go over it.
First of all.
Why would he?
His motivation.
Yeah.
He's getting that money no matter what.
Then what am I going to do?
I got to work.
They say you have to work harder than you usually do just to rehab to get back.
So he's going to work harder than he's ever worked in his life to get back,
to get booed from the Cleveland fans. And then he's going to work harder than he's ever worked in his life to get back to get booed from the Cleveland fans.
And then he's Cleveland.
Like, I'm going to do this for Cleveland.
He didn't want to be there in the first place.
Well, what if there's a scenario where they cut him,
they pay him all of his money, and then he can go to another team?
That's like the only way.
And even then.
That's the only way, but yeah, what other team?
PR hit, he sucks.
I don't know, man.
But if some team could get a potential starting quarterback for a million a year, yeah.
Like Russ Wilson just signed for, what, one or two million with Pittsburgh.
What if that's Jerry's next developmental quarterback?
Oh, my God, that would be awesome.
Everybody needs a second chance.
Look.
I would love it.
Who amongst us, right?
It's probably one of his best shots.
Deshaun Watson's best shot is to be.
What would be hilarious.
You're a pretty mobile quarterback.
You guys remember that?
Mm-hmm.
Representing the United States in flag football in 2028.
He's carrying the flag.
Oh, man.
And then the other one, Jake thinks the Mavs will have the number one offense
in the league and a top three seed in the West.
They're really not that close on offense right now,
but they are third in defense.
And I think that, you know, they're going to win 55 games.
They're legit, man.
Something to track.
Kemp spins.
Kemp spins.
You're up to 521 after six in the month of November.
Excuse me, October.
Did you count me?
Why would you jump ahead?
Okay, I'm just making sure.
Because I don't know if that one counted or not.
I didn't see you go to work over there on it.
I don't want you to see when I write them down.
Brian Kelly.
Ooh, we're talking about the cherry picker, the scissor lift?
Yeah.
Brian Kelly was conducting practice in South Bend,
and it was clear that weather had gotten very bad,
and he had an assistant, like a student assistant,
up there filming practice, and the storm got so bad
that the lift he was on fell over and he died.
The dominoes noid ha you kept spinning the noid yeah there was a guy whose last name was noid in the 80s and he thought the dominoes his noid campaign was aimed at him and he was like a
paranoid schizophrenic and so he went to a dominoes with a couple handguns and took hostages and demanded, like, hey, stop running these Noid ads.
Is that why I haven't seen him in a while?
Yeah, because that guy killed him.
Okay.
Rookie car hazing.
Now, this came up because we played the video of LeBron and Bronny
and their first game together and all that.
Yeah.
I don't –
Shh.
He's pouring the cereal.
I can't remember.
Oh, full of Fruity Pebbles?
Yeah.
I don't remember.
Or Fruity Loops, as Jake said.
In this case, I saw those at the grocery store the other day and got a chuckle.
Fruity Loops?
Never paid attention.
It was Kenyon Martin.
And somebody, I believe, put Cheetos in his brand new car,
and he attempted to kill them that night.
It was when they played in New York, and he drove to his place.
It was like outside.
Which, hey, Cheetos are tough to get off your fingers.
Imagine that all over your interior.
Chuck Berry.
Where do we begin and end, folks?
He was known, I believe he was on the receiving end.
He had a glass table, and he would lay underneath it,
and he would have the women that he was with poop on it,
squat over him and poop on it.
And he was also into peeing on girls and all that.
So he liked it to be simulated happening to him,
but he didn't actually want to get in the game.
It was like a glass-bottom boat, you know?
Yeah, that's kind of... I bet there are guys who are into it who, like, scoff at him.
Yeah, they're like, you're not a real beater.
Yeah, you're not actually taking the poop on your skin.
Oh, God, that's just...
I wish we could move on from that.
And we will.
And finally, Jake Kemp.
Yep.
You Kemp-spin yourself.
I've already mentioned it like three times today.
Because you told us you were in rehab, yeah.
I was so shocked.
He wanted to make sure I had it on my list,
and then when I bring it up, he doesn't want to talk about it.
Just don't even have to listen to it anymore.
Roseanne's.
All right, we've got some video here because we've added quite a few names to the Roseanne list. So throw up the picture video,
man. And then we'll go one by one here. The first, Kelly McGillis. Yeah, whatever that,
I can't believe that's not actually Roseanne on the left. That's a clear Roseanne. Yeah,
Roseanne on the left.
That's a clear Roseanne.
Yeah.
Boy, that's tough.
Okay, next one.
Holly Rowe.
I like Holly Rowe, so it pains me to say that yes.
She's trending.
Her jowls are trending Roseanne.
She sucks.
Jeez, dude. Next one.
We actually have a double Roseanne when Holly Rowe interviewed Brian Kelly.
I promise you that when my grandmother was 80, she looks exactly like Brian Kelly does today.
So a man can be a Roseanne.
Oh, yeah.
That's great.
I think he's the first Roseanne Kimspin double up.
Okay, yeah.
And then finally.
Oh, my God.
Michael Moore.
Michael Moore.
Yeah, that's a Roseanne right there.
They probably get along also.
So the next thing is just some audio we played on the show.
And it's something I miss from our old open of just playing random audio for no reason.
There was always a reason.
Yeah, because it was funny.
But we just don't really have a place for that anymore.
So there were two funny audio clips. We don't have a place for funny things on this show anymore.
Just random funny audio clips. We don't have a place for funny things on this show anymore. Just random funny audio. The first one
here that I want to play is Trump trying to say Arizonians
I guess. What? Play it first.
Thank you. Thank you, Tanya. Oh, beautiful.
You look great. Thank you, darling. Also
we have many Azerasians in our room.
We have some incredible people in our room.
We have so many that we just can't.
As or Asians.
Here's the thing.
Azerasians.
He's not wrong.
He's wrong.
He was in Arizona when he said this.
But when I was looking for this audio again this morning,
everybody thought, okay, he's in Arizona, Arizonans.
I think even we had some questions over, is it Arizonians?
Is it Arizonans?
It's definitely not whatever he said.
I think it's Arizonians.
Well, no, I think you're right.
But there were a group of people at that rally in Arizona called Assyrians.
And it is a Christian sect, very small, from this AP article,
tracing their ancestry to ancient Mesopotamia and the modern Middle East,
tiny minority community in the United States.
And there's even a picture of all these people at his rally that say,
community in the United States. And there's even a picture of all these people at his rally that say, now it's A-S-S-Y-R-I-A-N-S. So it's just Syrians with A-S at the beginning. That word to
me is easier to pronounce than Arizonians. I would read that and say, oh, Assyrians.
So in a sense, I don't know if this is better or worse. Play it again.
So in a sense, I don't know if this is better or worse.
Play it again.
Also, we have many Asurasians in our room.
So is that closer to what he was trying to pronounce?
I think so.
Assyrians.
Yeah.
So again, the media. Because you wouldn't say we have many Arizonans.
In Arizona.
If I'm in Arizona, of course we do.
Yeah.
That's a good point.
But he says one thing in the media.
The media is always trying to take him down.
They're going to get theirs, bud.
That's right.
Is he going to close the media?
He might.
Only Patreon can stay and Substack can stay alive.
Okay.
Then the other one is when Baker Mayfield was asked about the Texas players
stabbing his jersey at midfield.
That was a pretty lame move by UT.
Extremely.
That's very pick-me, try-hardish.
You're Texas.
Extremely.
You also never beat him.
His answer is so Baker, but then the reporter is very nervous and giggly
and is funny.
Baker, I've got to ask.
I don't know if you paid attention to what happened
in the Oklahoma game yesterday,
but they planted your jersey
midfield and stuck a flag through that.
What's up with you catching some strays there?
That's just
a kid from Austin, Texas.
They went to Oklahoma and won his last two Red River
games and being rent-free in their heads
for almost a decade now.
That's a good feeling.
That's a serious journalist right there.
Play the beginning part again, just of her asking the question where she's going.
Hey Greg, I gotta ask.
I don't know if you've paid attention to what happened in the Oklahoma game
yesterday, but-
It's a flag for that.
What's up with you catching some strays there?
You know what that made me think of?
This.
In a lot of ways, for three quarters, I'm sure you were pretty happy
you could hold a team to 34% shooting and hold them down to, what, 66 points or so.
The fourth quarter, though, I guess kind of shows it's never totally complete.
There's always something that you have to work on and try to get better
to try to put together that meaningful 48 minutes that everybody wants to see.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
And this is where we won the game.
God, he's such a dick.
Why?
Rick Carlisle on Coop.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And Coop just tossing softballs to him. The only thing Coop or Carlisle ever apologizedop. Yeah. Yeah. And Coop just tossing softballs to him.
The only thing Coop or Carlisle ever apologized for while he was here,
but he actually wrote a letter and apologized.
You've been told him to, right?
Probably, but, well, no, yeah, yes.
Yeah.
Anchored phrases.
We're getting back to these.
We've had a couple this month. The first week, we thought we had one in riddled with bullets until Beth drop.
Beth wrote in that actually you can be riddled with cancer.
Yes.
Is Beth here?
She was here.
Drop.
Beth is here.
I thought I saw her,
but nice.
I'll try to check out those new uptops after the cancer.
They haven't come in yet.
Oh yeah.
October 21st. stay of execution.
Yeah.
I never hear that used out.
Stay of.
Yeah.
And then the 24th, gripped with fear.
Yeah, I'm not like, oh, God, that food smells good,
and I'm gripped with hunger.
Yeah.
You never hear it.
I like this little NPR
bent we have here
of doing away with words
once a month.
There was a show called
Away With Words.
They did this.
Just move on.
Okay.
Jesus Christ.
We have a new...
Do you think Blake
has ever heard NPR?
That's a good question.
Not a chance.
Probably not.
Like you've never sat
and listened to an Npr show why would i
oh because then you could pretend you're a little smarter than you are like we do
i was gonna say that's the only reason oh did you hear what's going on over there in
in syria yeah we have a new list okay it's called Dan Falls in Love. All right, yeah. I like this.
Because it could go back for a long time,
but off the top of my head,
I remember the sandwich person in Flagstaff.
It was a sandwich girl, to be clear.
It wasn't a person.
I just don't want anybody thinking I'm a Fruity Loop.
It was the rental car guy in Cleveland. Yeah. I just don't want anybody thinking I'm a Fruity Loop.
It was the rental car guy in Cleveland.
Yeah, also a lady.
And then in the month of October, it was the Kroger cashier.
Oh, yeah, for sure, baby.
What was the most recent one? That was in November.
That was the Indian lady at the gas station.
Right.
Okay, which led us to believe you might just have like a South Asian.
Right.
Yeah, then it was the BBC reporter.
Yeah.
No, you should look into the Indian lady.
What does that mean?
I will look into them.
There's just something about it.
Yeah, I mean, to each their own.
I feel like you fall in love. There's like something about it. Yeah, I mean, to each their own. I feel like you fall in love.
There's like billions of them.
Most of the time you go on an errand.
Jake has a buddy.
Oh, I like this one.
Jake has buddies in Portland.
Wow.
Yes, I do.
Jake has a buddy who lives in a trailer park.
Huh.
I think I said
I had.
If you live in Texas, you have friends who've lived
in trailer parks. Or if you grew up
here. And Jake has a buddy who Jake didn't
think backed up their rock album, but actually
did and sent it to Dan to review.
That's right. And that was
awesome. That's right.
Five Minute Stranger. I gotta figure out how to get
it on Spotify.
Sphinx was trying to tell me how to do it, but it's not really my game.
Don't know exactly what we're doing.
Come on.
General notes from the show.
And I'll just do a couple of these.
Like on October 8th, Dan's wife is stoked on Buckeyes.
Yeah.
I mean, I only learned a Buckeye was like
a tree in the last five years.
I had no idea what was on their helmets.
Yeah, they're like little
nuts.
And you have them all over your house?
The peanut butter,
the little ball of peanut butter
covered in chocolate, but then you could still see some peanut butter.
That's what a Buckeye looks like.
You don't know what I'm talking about here?
Yeah.
I don't.
Does everyone else know what he's talking about?
A lot of...
Yeah.
Do they have a name?
The peanut butter ball?
Yeah.
No, I don't know.
Okay, you're not saying it's like a branded candy?
No, no.
Okay.
No. But like if somebody makes peanut butter... Okay, then I think I don't know. Okay, you're not saying it's like a branded candy? No, no. Okay, no.
But like if somebody makes peanut butter. Okay, then I think I do, yeah.
You'll kind of like, the chocolate falls down,
so it looks like kind of a bald guy's head.
All right.
Yeah, there you go.
October 14th, Dan's neighbor's sister got arrested in Mexico
and was put in a cell next to Rugnetto door.
It's true.
I'm negotiating right now to...
I think she's went through a bit of trauma,
and so she won't come on the show.
But I'm trying to get her husband on the show
because he was the guy dealing with it in Mexico,
having to get her out.
It's always like dudes having to...
Carry the weight.
Yeah, we'll do all the work.
You just can sit there in prison.
Wasn't it over a gun?
I don't really... No, it was about
ammunition.
It wasn't even a gun. Man, I hate when
I'm at the airport and somebody
walks up to me and they're like, will you hold this
magazine? And I just
put it in my bag. I don't
really know.
I think it might have been
just a couple of bullets that were in some guy's bag and she took the bag by accident. I don't know know, but I think it might have been just a couple of bullets that were in some guy's bag, and she took the bag by accident.
I don't know.
Something weird.
Likely story, Chief.
Yeah, well.
You're living near a gun runner.
Jake used to walk around the locker room with his school ID hanging around his dong.
Yep.
Dan is in a black bean crunch wrap phase.
Yeah, you know what?
I heard an ad where they got like a two-for-one on Uber Eats or something like that.
Okay.
I love Taco Bell's bit of having free delivery on Sunday.
It just takes me back to a time where it was like, yes, dude.
Just $25 of Taco Bell on the couch.
Now, is this drinking phase, Jake?
And then some.
Okay.
Sunday NFL, no responsibilities.
Like I can't just be bothered to drive five minutes to Taco Bell?
Because you live right by Taco Bell.
Well, I think everyone does.
Oh, okay.
That's a great point.
You're so lucky to live right by local farm to table niche restaurant taco bell yeah i am i've had like uh i think four of them
in the last month dang dude there's like a there's a tiktok account um some of it ends up on twitter
but they're really good i don't remember her name but there's a lady whose account, she's real fit,
real healthy, but her bit is showing you how you can go have like a legit meal at just about any fast food restaurant that's less than 700 calories. Huh. It's like six to 700 calories,
basically like a factor meal. And she'll tell you, don't get a large Coke and a fry
and this and this and this and this,
but you can still, in a pinch,
get something that's got good protein,
not a crazy amount of saturated fat,
and Taco Bell's definitely on that list.
So you know how you claim that you invented YouTube?
Because I did.
And is that because you were watching,
you just wanted to be able to watch stuff
on your computer?
Well, no, because we
my roommates had started
plugging their, they were from
Plano, so they were like tech savvy.
Yeah, and I remember being like
to get your computer to play up on the screen.
Yes, and this is like, I don't know,
2004, I was like, why don't we just have internet
on the TV? And they're like, whoa, dude. I feel like similarly I mean, I don't know, 2004. I was like, why don't we just have internet on the TV? And they're like, whoa, dude.
I feel like similarly, I mean, I can't remember the day.
Like, you seem to remember this day as a, like,
Doc Brown can remember when he invented time travel or whatever.
But I feel like I was involved in some discussions where somebody was listening
and we invented the Dorito taco shell.
I'm pretty sure that we made Dorito tacos.
The problem is when you file that lawsuit,
there's going to be about 7 million other potheads
who come forward like, me too.
So let's see.
Dan has thrown a milk bone Yeah Dan's thrown a milk bone
On the field at a Browns game
Jake had Zach wild pictures
On his wall growing up
Cover of Guitar Magazine
Jake was stoked on
Melissa Joan Hart
I was
Jake caught a brick
From a two story house
Because Jerry Rice did it
That once
Dan says Ziggy sucked
Dan misses Fuddruckers
Jake won best dressed
In fifth grade
Jake was runner up
For best looking in high school
And finally,
Dan once mated hamsters
and mosquitoes. That's the
weirdest story you've ever told.
Not together. It wasn't cross
breeding.
Wouldn't that be awesome?
Flying hamster.
You thought they were tadpoles or
something? Yeah, they were tadpoles or something?
Yeah, they were in like a – because we used to always go out to the creek to get crayfish and steal those and then put them in my aquarium.
And then out in the puddle, yeah, I found these tadpoles.
It was great.
Boy, how lonely kid is that?
Just thousands of mosquitoes.
So sad.
Well, you've seen my backyard and the rock I used to play with.
Jump on a rock and then jump off it.
And there's your NBR.
Hey, thank you.
Well, pick a lane and bless my star.
Mr. Jones' NBR.
People listen near and far to Blake Jones' NBR.
One free business review.
What's next?
Want to take a break? Sure.
Dude, you understand? The guy's 80 years old. Do the math.
This dude was born in 1934.
That's 13 years before Jackie Robinson
broke the color barrier. First 12 and a half years of this guy's life, he watched all-white
baseball, and it was fine. First 12 and a half years. Up next, Whitey Willoughby. There's
a line shot out to Peter Peckerwood. What a catch!
Unbelievable.
Into Chris Cracker.
What a great day.
What a great day for a ball game.
White baseball, white players.
Dude, his parents were part of the generation
that finished off the genocide of the Native Americans.
All right?
That's who taught him
his abc's you know a b c d hey get that savage off my property get out of here i thought we Put a fence around him.
H-I-J-K.
Yeah.
What'd you think was gonna happen?
You know what?
The owner of the Clippers,
you know what his big crime was?
He lived too long.
He did.
If he died around 1969, 1970,
nobody would have noticed. I'm telling you, you can live too long.
You can live too long. I'm telling you. You wear out, you're welcome.
I swear to God, this f***ing guy, I bet in the 1940s he was considered like a hippie.
You know, Just walking around.
Hey, you can hang out with him.
You can have sex with him, man.
You know?
Dad's getting all pissed off.
Let me tell you something.
See?
Stay with your own.
Hey, stay with your own.
You're listening to The Dumb Zone.

I do.
I understand time and space.
Yeah.
But if you also go to that events page, you will see up there the men's health event called Cover Your Bases that we will be at.

You can bring family, kids if you want, all that kind of stuff.
Be on a real major league field.
You walk around on the field and stuff.
They said they would set up stuff for us.
Were you on this call?
No.
Okay.
I'm not on the flyer.
So they said they would let us have Jake pitch off of a mound.
Whoa.
Like the mound. Okay.
Oh, look at him. No, no, no.
He's about to backpedal.
No backpedal. And they could, if they want,
get the radar gun out there.
Oh, yes. We have to.
Yes. Because I think he said he'd be hitting
85, I think he said.
I think I said 70, but I am currently
at about 53.
Oh, you've already had the gun on you?
There's one in every throwing lane.
So the place where I go every week, where I went yesterday,
when you throw, it picks it up.
Okay.
Okay, so he's hit 53, which means he sits 48.
I mean, I'm not throwing it light.
I don't think I can get above 55.
We had to get down, like, learning how to throw a baseball first.
But my only pushback was going to be everyone has to do it.
See, you have an opportunity here.
Like, not just me.
Everyone has to.
You have an opportunity here.
We're going to give you this opportunity.
Like, I want to see Blake doing what he –
Blake was saying he could do, what, a 12-6 curve for at about 87. I was just going to give you the opportunity. I want to see Blake doing what he... Blake was saying he could do a 12-6 curve for...
I was just going to give you the opportunity to say,
you know what, guys?
You know where I was for a month.
I was drunk when I said that. I didn't mean it.
I can't strike out, Blake.
We're letting you back out.
Well, I'm going to try. I like going and throwing.
Okay. It's fun.
I wish I had someone to play catch with. That's a real problem.
My neighbors are not loving me throwing rubber baseballs under the fence right now. But it's fun. I wish I had someone to play catch with. That's a real problem. My neighbors are not loving me throwing rubber baseballs under the fence right now.
But it's fun.
I feel like I can throw a baseball now.
Well, come out and see Jake throw a baseball.
Yeah, that's awesome.
And Blake.
Get some health screenings if you want.
Get the panel of physicians, complimentary food.
Again, if you just want to go walk on a real major league baseball field.
And we'll be out there.
We'll be doing some recording live to tape out there. So join us November
16th. Did you say breakfast?
There is free breakfast.
Yeah. I said free food
but I figure you would assume if
it's between 9 and noon it would be breakfast.
Breakfast is different. I heard they're going to have a beef
stroganoff buffet.
It's up at 8.30 in the morning. Come get lasagna. Yeah. So it's called buffet. I know. I think it'll be more.
Come get lasagna.
Yeah.
So it's called Cover Your Bases, Baylor, Scott & White, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So, yeah, join us November 16th at Globe Life Field.
Well, look, here's the deal, dude.
What?
We have breaking news.
Blake did it.
What's that?
They put Ben down today.
Kirk Herbstreet's dog?
Yeah.
There he is on the screen right now.
Do you think Kirk had a really sad tweet to announce it?
Or do you think he just, like, handled this life problem on his own?
He kind of celebrated Ben's life, which I think is the proper thing to do.
Like, sorry you were so bothered by this dog that brought so many people so much joy.
We don't need dog drops.
We don't need that.
In his tweet, he says, he and I could communicate.
I believe that.
You think that was a one-way conversation?
No, my dog and I, I get this.
You just project things onto your dog.
He and I understood each other and had each other's backs.
When people were saying bad stuff about Kirk Herbstreet,
Ben would just raise a paw.
You don't know the real Kirk.
That's my guy.
Well, good job, Blake.
You shamed a dog into getting cancer.
Maybe he won't tweet every video of Ben on the airplane,
Ben on the private jet, Ben in the press box, Ben at midfield.
Here, let's get Ben's thoughts on the first half.
Hey, look at me.
I got a dog just like every other American.
Except I get to parade him around everywhere because I'm special.
You know he's going to miss the game tonight.
Dude, what if he misses the game tonight?
At minimum, he's going to take a couple minutes to eulogize Ben for an NFL game.
And Al Michaels. Al Michaels.
Kirk, I understood you had a loss in the family.
Would you like to say something?
Yeah.
I was going to watch this game anyway,
but we're going to definitely have to watch it closely now for audio.
What if he cries on TV?
I will cry when my dog dies.
Will he be on TV? I will cry when my dog dies. Will he be on TV?
I hope.
Better than you.
Moment of silence for Ben.
You know, it was just a dog.
You're a jerk.
That was a very quick moment.
This is our big viewer mailbag that we'll do every Thursday.
Although, are we running out of time?
Should I not do the whole thing?
Want me to save some for tomorrow?
Because there's at least one I have to do.
Well, this says the Thursday viewer mail follow-up extravaganza inclement fossil thing.
So I think we have to do it today.
All right.
Then I'll run through it quickly.
Dearest Labia liaison. Oh, I have to do it today. Alright. Then I'll run through it quickly. Dearest Labia liaison.
Oh, I forgot to do the nicknames.
Or alternatively, Beave Bruv
or the Commodore of Cunnilingus.
Ooh.
Is Mike McCarthy a Roseanne?
I don't think so.
Okay, that one's from Rick.
You can't make it just everybody who has the big jowl thing.
Roseanne also comes with like a kind of looks like you smoke.
Okay.
McCarthy's just a big boy.
He doesn't look unhealthy to me.
That's from Rick, day two, number 923.
Greetings, Poon Pulverizer.
Another Roseanne possibility.
He says he's upset that he has to give this one to us.
There's going to be a lot of those.
We need help.
Blind spots.
Mike Leach.
Mike Leach is 100% a Roseanne.
Yes.
That's what we're talking about when we say a Roseanne.
Okay.
Yep.
Definitely looks like he smokes.
Turkey neck.
Greeting master of the oyster moisture.
Notice that one got nothing.
Oh, yeah.
That was a groan. That one was uh i might be leaving i'd like to
take a moment to back up jake on his recollection of clarissa explains it all from a few days ago
he was undeserving of the heat you and blake collectively gave him he made many valid points
that were quickly thwarted and i don't think he or other millennial dfs appreciated it i didn't
but i'm used to it.
The only thing more egregious to have ever taken place on your program
is the outlandish slander of The Boys, now streaming on Amazon Prime,
a thrilling satire on American values that only the brightest minds seem to understand.
Don't take it from me.
USA Today says,
The Boys is doing to streaming media what Hotmail did to electronic communication.
That's a direct quote from USA Today, huh?
That's from NoTuxChat.
Yeah, the episode about the Flash being upset about the election,
that's going to hit.
I know, right?
How are they going to explain the Supreme Court to Batman's family?
Am I saving gay not gays for a future Steve Noviello?
I think so.
Is that like back-back, like we're officially doing that now?
Steve Noviello is really on board, dude.
I love that we just find a gay guy who says yes.
And we're like, yep, let's go rip the brakes out again.
I love it.
I actually do.
Okay, good.
I'm glad you like it.
Oh, got an email.
Matt was wondering about when is Jake going to strike out Blake?
So I guess we are telling you November 16th will be the first step towards that.
You get to see the progress that has been made.
Like what do you guys throw if you got on a mound?
I'm thinking it's less than 53.
I'm just saying.
I'm at least logical and knowledgeable about.
Well, you've also thrown like you know, no, because you've done it.
I didn't know.
Oh, no.
I don't know that I've ever been clocked except at the fair.
What about you, Blake?
What's normal for, like...
I don't...
30-something guy.
I hope to hit 70.
Okay.
Nah, there's no way you hit 70.
There's an absolute...
Yeah, I'll hit 70.
You see what I just did there, Dan?
All right.
Here's the thing, Dan. I don't really care.
I just wanted him to say that before November
16th. Alright, you say you'll absolutely
hit 70. Yeah. Okay.
Did we just do this in the election
stream? This guy wants the Kemp
spin on Jesse Waters.
Yeah, we did it.
When he was married
with... He's a Fox News guy?
Yeah, he's one of their stars now, especially post-Tucker.
But he ended up leaving his wife and having an affair and then marrying a producer there.
And the way he first caught her attention was by letting the air out of her tires when she was going to need to leave work.
And he's like, well, looks like you're stuck here.
Need a ride?
And he talks about it now.
It's like, come on.
That was pretty smooth.
But it worked.
It did work.
Dear VP Vulva and Secretary of Snatch.
snatch.
Anyway, this guy wants you to upload
your
high school band's music
for all to enjoy. He wants to work out
to it.
That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard,
but I'm going to try to do it this weekend. I talked with
our friend Spinks. He says, I hear the
early Blink influence.
Well, thanks. I would also like a full
roast twins album review we should do that i'm sure they'll love it and we shouldn't tell them
it's jake's band until the very end just to see what they say i'm not sure that'll make it better
or worse i think if you want the worst of them tell them it's me and they'll like rat they'll
ramp it up to 11 although I think it's all 11.
They're always at 11.
Yeah.
And hi, Uncle Hotmail.
Now, this is from Jack, day two, listening from Seattle.
Seattle.
Seattle. He said, I started notes of my own on Blake since he won't review himself.
What a waste of time.
He called this-
He called this the monthly Blake review.
Okay.
The MBR.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm hesitant to share this in fear he will talk even less,
but let's see what happens.
None of it's any good, is it?
He also says, shout out to my sister-in-law Hannah helped me take these notes that
couldn't be Hannah no because you said
all your brother-in-laws are spare right
I believe I called them pieces of shit
oh wow I was trying to soft all right so
he notes throughout the month of October, different days, Blake has a friend.
A friend who let him sleep on his couch one afternoon.
What a weirdo.
Yeah, that was Andrew who's since passed away.
Blake has a friend that he slept in the same truck with a couple of times.
That was Andrew.
Blake has a friend whose kid had a birthday party
in Arlington.
That's Jake.
Blake has a friend who hosts poker games
and has one leg.
Damn, dude.
Not hard to, yeah.
And Blake has a friend who owns a car shop
and does oil changes.
Whoa.
Mm-hmm.
Whoa.
Friola changes for me.
We have one Blake fights with hishmm. Whoa. Friola changes for me. We have one.
Blake fights with his wife.
Okay.
Blake's wife put up spider webs and ghosts on the house, and it annoys him.
I just wish I had that free time.
Dude, not everything is a fight about your time and money.
Blake doesn't have a lot of free time.
Just ask him.
Yeah. He will be quick to tell you
Things Blake wants
Blake wants the Cowboys to trade for Tyreek Hill
Or Devontae Adams
That would have been fun
Blake wants to know how teacher-student relationships start
Yeah, who doesn't?
Things Blake likes
These actually aren't that great
No Wesley Matthews Yeah, who doesn't? Things Blake likes. These actually aren't that great.
No?
Wesley Matthews.
He was cool.
Playing cards.
Or playing cards.
All right, sorry. That would be really weird if he was just, man, I just love playing cards.
I just like the cards.
Not Uno cards.
I don't really even know what is done with them.
Not Pokemon cards, playing cards.
And Laney Wilson's song, Heart Like a Truck.
It's a good one.
It's a good song.
Things Blake doesn't like.
A little support over here from the ladies.
Yeah, it's a great song.
Cars that turn off when you stop.
It's a terrible bit.
I don't even get it.
NFL football games before 9 a.m.
Too early.
2.30 kickoff for the Red River Patty Cake game.
That's an 11 a.m. game.
Sitting on a toilet sweaty.
You said that?
Jake, yeah, because Jake worked out and had to take a dump,
so he had to run in and go do it.
I just thought, I hate sitting on a toilet seat sweaty.
You ever do that after being in the pool?
Or like you're still wet?
Yeah, it's horrible. Get right out of the pool, yeah. That's why we started talking about the pool? Or like you're still wet? Yeah, it's horrible.
That's why we started talking about
if you ever feel like you have to go
when you're in the shower,
even if you dry off, you still feel wet.
I always feel like I'm going to
slip and hurt myself.
Bad scene.
And this is a recurring one.
He said throughout the month,
things that Blake doesn't like.
Ben Herbstreet.
That's the end of that.
And general notes on Blake.
He did a proof of concept for the Dumb Zone show for KDFI.
DZTV, folks.
Check it out.
Sweeping the nation.
What if they go to break with a picture of Ben Herbstreet
with the dates and all that?
He's holding on to his old car.
I can't tell if you're making fun of me or not because I definitely issued that line two days ago.
It was better when you did it.
Forgive me for not remembering something you said 48 hours ago.
Blake is holding on to his old car because it only beeps four times and stops if he doesn't wear his seatbelt.
Are you still not wearing a seatbelt? It's hit and miss. Does your kid stops if he doesn't wear his seatbelt. Are you still not wearing a seatbelt?
It's hit and miss.
Does your kid see that you don't wear a seatbelt?
My kid is such a dork.
I shut the door this morning without
buckling her and she literally had a meltdown.
She doesn't freak out at all anymore.
And she was banging on the...
I'm not buckled!
I'm like, you are such a pussy.
You're gonna be fine.
Boy, your wife would let you get away with that?
No, of course not.
I just forgot.
Of course I want her buckled because I'm a sensible human.
I wear a seatbelt every time I'm in a car.
More Blake General notes.
He used to check the paper for movie times.
It's not that unique.
I think everyone did.
He gets out of bed to Mark Rubbier music.
I missed that.
I don't know what that is about.
Well, I do not feel bad for this guy.
It's not a good use of time.
Blake got out of a speeding ticket by lying to the officer.
I did.
I don't remember that one.
He was getting a free oil change.
Oh, that was a red light.
Yeah, no, I had to pay for that one.
Blake bought meat out of a truck
driving through his neighborhood.
It was a hell of a deal.
Over half price off.
Over 50% off.
Blake took his kid out of gymnastics
after Dan and Jake made fun of him.
And finally, Blake bought a cake at Sam's Club and exited through the wrong doors
even after being corrected by a Sam's Club employee.
Who's better than the employees?
I was right there.
So that's another edition of the Big Thursday mailbag thing.
That's probably like a one and done on the Blake notes.
I agree.
Wow, okay.
We appreciate you trying, bud.
Sorry, Jack.
Now, or wait.
Do we have a sponsor?
We do not have a sponsor.
For the news.
Here's Jay with the Dumb Zone News.
Let's see here.
This is an interesting one with a little bit of a local tie.
You guys remember when Scotty Scheffler had his whole situation?
Mm-hmm.
Well, his 2012.
The arrest thing?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, it was in Louisville. Oh. Yeah. It was in Louisville.
Oh.
Yeah.
It wasn't Augusta?
No.
Let's see.
2012 GMC Yukon XL had 200,000 miles on it.
It was the one that he was driving that day.
He sold it.
And he sold it for charity at an auction. like it's now a piece of memorabilia okay
somebody wanted to buy a car that almost ran over a police officer
you're the one who just admitted to lying to them i won't hit him with my car
so his dad his dad bought the vehicle after the family's car broke down more than a decade ago in Augusta.
There's your tie-in.
It's a 2012 Masters.
Tell me how golfer's dad this is, right?
So his dad buys this.
Here's why.
Their car broke down.
They needed to get back home to Dallas from Augusta, Georgia,
and just ended up buying the Yukon in Georgia to make the trip.
Wow. I mean, my car doesn't work the Yukon in Georgia to make the trip. Wow.
My car doesn't work.
You might go rent a car.
Or see if I can get my car fixed.
They'll just be like, let's buy another car.
Corby used to have a road MacBook.
This one goes out of town.
His one got dirty.
His dad gave it to him when he graduated from UT.
He's driven it ever since.

by Jim Nance
from Heritage Auctions House
you know I'm not part of this story
somehow
how can I insert myself
how can I make myself a part of this story
the Jim Nance story and then he writes it off How can I insert myself? That's exactly right. How can I make myself a part of the story?
The Jim Nantz story.
And then he writes it off.
I know that game.
I have to learn how to do that.
Spending money on a charity and then writing it off?
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, because I always do brag about at Jared's charity thing,
I spent a couple hundred bucks last year.
Donated.
But I made sure the tax man knew.
I just go to his
events. Just because I'm a
nice person. No, I'm sure he
puts that up on the tally board when he's
trying to raise
$20,000 nice person.
I'm not trying to skate on taxes or anything.
I'm just trying to be there for my friend.
He actually goes to the special needs
kids who need sports equipment,
and he's like, I don't have a bat, but Blake said good luck.
Yeah, he feels good.
I don't have any money for this program.
But I guess I just use the system that is the United States tax system,
just the way it's supposed to be used.
It's all a game for you all.
Richardson has issued a Boyle notice.
Oh, yeah.
They shut down five schools today.
Dude, this happened to us like last year one time.
It was weird.
Did you boil?
Yeah, I had to boil water to drink it.
I mean, we just used bottled water.
But that's what I'm wondering is how many people actually go through that.
Because, I mean, if you think about the biggest... Think how long it takes bottled water. But that's what I'm wondering is like how many people actually go through that. Because, I mean, if you think about the biggest.
Like how long it takes to boil water.
The biggest pot you have in your house, like for us,
it would be like the one I would make spaghetti in.
Yeah.
It would take a very long time to get that boiling.
Right.
And then how long to cool off.
And then how much water is that really?
No one can figure it out.
No.
Who knows?
It's like over a gallon.
But yeah, I don't...
Then you can't take a bath in that.
Why not?
I mean, how much of it would you have to get?
Yeah, more.
That's a good point.
Way more.
More.
I wonder if you could turn your water heater up,
like the temperature up enough that it would boil everything in it.
Probably a safety issue there, I would imagine.
It would explode.
You don't know. Have you tried it?
See?
Somebody do that for us.
I feel like we have a new science project.
Yeah.
Yeah, Dan.
It's steam.
This guy.
So, we had election day the other day.
We had local propositions on the ballot.
One of them, Dallas City Council.
Dude.
I feel like this happens every year.
Dude.
But Dallas City Council has voted to decriminalize up to four ounces of marijuana.
Yeah, you can carry more and more pot around. But Dallas City Council has voted to decriminalize up to four ounces of marijuana.
Yeah, you can carry more and more pot around.
Listen, Dan and I have been saying this from the start as pro pot guys.
I've never met a person with four ounces of personal use in my life.
Even me. If you have four ounces of pot.
If I was buying some to hold me over for a long time, it'd be like an ounce.
Yeah.
Four ounces is.
I don't know.
I mean, I guess if you want to be.
It sounds small.
An ounce.
That's nothing.
No.
But it's a lot.
Yeah.
It's a lot.
QP.
That's a dealer quantities.
One of the great things about this is
it's kind of like whatever
Delta 9 shit that's out there now.
I feel like
a lot of the people who try to regulate
stuff like marijuana or even
this comes up a lot on the internet. They don't really
know
what's a lot, what's not. Same deal as like
when I've told you guys about the porno that they would choose at the fertility clinic.
Oh, my God.
It was clearly not selected by a man.
Yeah, it was disgusting, right?
Refined taste.
It was either the most insane, heinous stuff you'd ever seen,
or it was like a Victoria's Secret or even more tame than that.
There was nothing just normal.
Because they had a lady who's like,
this must be what they like.
Do they still have a porn...
Like, you've been there somewhat recently.
I guess five years ago, right?
More recently than that.
Yeah, my son is two, so...
But do they just let you use your phone now,
or do they still have...
Well, you can use your phone, but they have magazines and they have DVDs.
Ew, DVDs.
And they also have wireless noise-canceling headphones.
Big old over-the-ear joints.
So now you can't hear anyone coming in.
Right.
And you're unaware of how much noise you're making.
Yeah, it's like you ever been on a treadmill and your headphones died,
and you're like, do I sound like that?
Yes, I'm this loud?
That's what it's like.
And how do you know they don't have any cameras in there?
And then they're selling that.
Somehow she knew the exact moment when to walk in.
When I'm like, oh.
Knock on the door.
Yeah, I mean, I guess you don't, but you could say that about anywhere.
Right?
About what?
Anywhere.
As far as a camera where you're changing or whatever.
I mean, it could be the case anywhere.
Yeah.
And boy, what's hotter than the market for middle-aged impotent men jerking off?
I thought you said there's a market for everything.
Yeah, there is.
There is.
But I just don't know that that's like a –
I don't know that there's too many people out there that would want to watch that.
No, the last one I went to was like that.
And they had – the chair was like leather.
But they give you
they give you
there's like
paper that's the thickness of the
toilet cover.
You know what I'm talking about? Really, really thin.
Like tracing paper.
You're just supposed to, I guess,
lay that down on...
Sliding.
Yeah.
And it's ripping because you're moving around a little bit, you know.
What the hell?
So, anyways, my point is I feel sometimes like the people regulating what is and isn't a good amount of pot
or what is and isn't legal, they don't have any idea.
Yeah, sure.
So, I was like, yeah, four ounces, go for it.
But were there things on the ballot that you didn't know anything about and you tried to learn it right
like it's explaining it no I mean I can't remember the one I had for me I
had in grapevine I had one that I knew I knew funny about it was like proposition
some number and then it was like in this this, this. And I'm like, I don't know.
It was like a tax thing.
Yeah.
And it was trying to explain what it was, but then I was like, I don't know.
I don't think I want another tax.
That's because you don't have a kid in a district because you will get bombarded with emails of them saying, like, please vote for this or please don't vote for this.
Okay. vote for this okay it was an interesting one because much like in other parts of the country a lot of people voted for things in their state or locally that don't totally match up with their
presidential vote so in grapevine it was a vote for increased taxes for the school district
and not you know did they get that yeah it's a super conservative area typically on board with
like as little government as possible.
Don't want to give the government money, but it passed overwhelmingly.
And a big part of that is because every one of the mailers that they sent out and in all the campaign literature about it,
they would bold and increase the size and highlight not subject to Robin Hood.
Because there's a certain amount of money that Texas schools get, especially like, or not especially,
the affluent ones that is redistributed across the state.
People don't like that so much.
So this one, GCISD wanted to make sure that people knew, like,
increase taxes here.
That will be right to your school. It will be for our school district.
And it passed overwhelmingly.
Interesting.
And it's a great district, too.
Like, I want them to continue to have awesome stuff.
So I voted for that but same thing as like
you know missouri for example passed increased minimum wage i think uh like a paid leave bill
so there was some stuff that so there's different minimum wages in different states
well there's a federal one but you can also raise it state by state yeah
okay i have to do this last story because it is wild do you remember the texas seven
oh yeah yeah they escaped right yes it was a group of seven dudes for a while they were they
escaped from a south texas prison in december 2000. There was an Irving police officer that was murdered, a 29-year-old.
And a guy, a 47-year-old, who is still behind bars for this.
By a vote of 6-3, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals ordered that his conviction be overturned.
He gets a new trial after concluding not the judge.
So they're saying this guy's Jewish, this judge is a racist.
So the Jewish guy escaped prison?
Okay.
And so I start reading this article.
I'm like, okay, well, what did the guy say?
I mean, what do we know about it?
And then there's a bunch of hyperlinks in the morning news story of like, hey, here's what he did.
Read through this.
So apparently this judge, Vic Cunningham, was a pretty big deal in Dallas.
He ran for a couple of other political spots.
I'm positive we talked about this
at the time, but I don't recall it.
He,
when he was running for, let's see,
Republican Dallas County
Commissioner, it came out
that in his will
or trust for his family,
they had to, they would only get their portion of it their reward if they married a hetero white christian okay so he was like yeah
you can you'll get your piece of the pie but but you got to marry straight, you got to marry white, and they got to be Christian.
And everything was going
fine until he decided to run for a higher
office, and then his gay
brother, who was married to a black guy,
spoke up against him.
Wow. Yeah.
And then people
start coming out of the woodwork. This is why you just,
I can't run for office.
People start coming out telling you.
Unless maybe I would go on the like,
everybody already knows how bad it is.
The Trump.
Like Rob can't run for office
because we don't really know that much about Rob.
Right.
And then people will be surprised.
Yeah.
Oh, he looks so cool.
Yeah.
So not criminally.
There's some funny things in here where when asked about it
he said he harbored no racist views but did admit to the will where he stipulated that his
his money would only go to somebody who marries that way um there's a funny there's a funny
there's a funny note in this story because a bunch of people that worked with him came out
and were like he throws around the N-word all the time.
He called most of his cases, criminal cases involving black people as TNDs, which are typical N deals.
Okay.
Seems pretty racist right there.
There's a funny.
No, no, let's hear him out.
So he was asked by the news. God, this is a funny let's hear him out so he was asked by the he was asked by the news god this is a
funny sentence asked by the news is if he's ever used the n-word vick cunningham paused for nine
seconds it's like you gotta either go one way or the other doesn't matter if you're lying but just
go yeah he asked if the question referred to using the word in court. Told the question referred to use of it in everyday life.
He then said no.
But, I mean, come on.
Like, I've used it, right?
I mean, it's not, I think it's silly where people are like, no, that's never happened.
Like, I grew up in the early 2000s listening to rap music.
You've never thought it.
What are you thinking right now?
No, I've never listened.
If I even heard half of that word in a rap song, I would turn it off.
Yeah.
I'm not totally on board with the homophobic part of it, the racist part of it,
demanding someone be your religion.
homophobic part of it, the racist part of it, demanding someone
be your religion.
But
I do like
this idea of the little strings attached
to the will.
What would be my money then?
Can't be an Aggie.
Okay.
I'm not giving a dollar to an Aggie. Okay. I'm not giving a dollar to an Aggie.
Okay.
Boy, it's funny that that's the only one I can really think of.
I don't care if, I mean, I have the whole sexuality thing.
No complaints there.
Ooh.
Would prefer to avoid the British. Yeah.
So you can't marry a Brit?
Right. Like your daughter?
That would be, yeah. Okay. That would be
trouble for me.
Like I would have a tough time on my dying
on my death day, death bed
knowing. What if it was like
you know, Ringo Starr or somebody
really famous famous brit worse
i want someone with talent rich no you don't want them to marry marry rich i mean sure whatever they
but it doesn't matter the point is if they're british they're out okay do you have any and if
they're rich then that's they won't need your money anyway. Exactly. Good thought.
I haven't thought of that, no.
I don't believe in limiting anything.
Don't mind if they're a fan of but can't be a member of Dude Perfect.
No, I'm on board with Dude Perfect, as you know.
Oh, my God.
What's wrong with that?
They're fun videos to watch. You ever watch the videos with your kid, Blake? No. Oh, my God. What's wrong with that? I just...
They're fun videos to watch.
You ever watch the videos with your kid, Blake?
No.
I bet he'd love them.
Yeah, he'd love the book.
Uh, Do Perfect.
Is he coming over this weekend?
Yes.
All right.
Him and Nora can have an iPad off
while we try to get work done.
Oh, On Saturday?
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, he's not watching Dude Perfect.
Dude, I can't wait to groom him.
Woo!
What?
To watch Dude Perfect.
You can groom for a lot of different things, can't you?
I know.
As I've said before,
the last handful of years have been very rough
on two people as far as
our
linguistics.
People named Karen.
Oh, yeah. Tough.
I had a great friend named Karen.
You had to cut her off. Yeah, I'm sorry.
And dog groomers.
I mean, ten years ago, everybody just knew that meant, oh, I'm a groomer.
Oh, where do you teach?
Yeah.
What, are you registered?
Funny.
Everyone just knew you meant I groom dogs, and now they're like, pedophile.
All right, there's your news.
Oh.
Got you.
The Dumb Zone News.
It's getting quicker, though.
Hey, thanks. And subscribe. news oh got you the dumb zone quicker though hey thanks and subscribe i have merely one viewer mail birthday today so i'll do it before today in history and that is dear lord labia lapper
my name is nate it is my George H.W. Bush birthday.
Then he puts in parentheses.
Do you already know it?
Because you're like politics guy.
It's 41?
41.
Yeah.
Sorry, I didn't realize that was just a layup, and I'd be insulting you.
It's pretty recent.
All right, well, still.
I mean, I don't know any of the early ones like you're supposed to.
I'm bad at that.
My leaders are small business owners and Blake's obsession with women who pretend to be fairies.
What is that?
Because Lindsey Stirling will wear, like, elf ears and do a music video, I guess I'm into women that dress like fairies. She does what?
Does that surprise you?
I don't really have, like, a frame of reference here at all.
She puts an elf here.
The fact that she's an electric violinist that plays that kind of style of music,
you don't think she's dressed like an elf a time or two?
You know, I hadn't, but now that you say it, it does make sense.
It checks out.
The stuff you played for us did kind of sound like elf music,
now that I'm thinking about it.
So that's the only one?
That is the only one for today, Thursday, November 7th.
And we're going to do some Today in History, but it does have a sponsor.
It does.
That sponsor is BetterHelp.

The Dumb Zone presents Today in History.
Thursday, November 7th.
Where's Taryn? Does she want to join us for this?
She's hiding.
She can. She's going to do closing remarks, so that would flow it right in there.
But she can do whatever she wants. She's Taryn.
Dude, I got so much gifts today.
You can do whatever you want there, Taryn.
But do it on a mic
Yeah
Or Jake will yell at you
Like he just did
Yeah
I'll be yelled at
You kind of into that?
Yeah sometimes
So it's Thursday November 7th
On this day in 1888
Presidential candidate
Benjamin Harrison Won the electoral vote over incumbent Grover Cleveland.
Despite Cleveland getting 90,000 more total votes, that would be the last time the popular vote winner lost the election.
Until the year?
2000.
That's right.
This guy knows politics.
Yeah. He's right. This guy knows politics. Yeah.
He's got a master's.
On this day in 1966, John Lennon first met Yoko Ono.
What? You earned it.
You worked hard and got a master's at North Texas.
When did he start beating her?
Let's say it here.
This is the day he first met her.
So it wasn't that day?
Maybe.
Maybe she was into that too.
Yeah. Her into that.
On this day in 1991,
this explains the confusing break.
Magic Johnson
announced he had tested positive for the AIDS
virus and was
retiring. Did Walker
tell him? That's right.
I
think I have this mixed up and if i do i've got a positive that
my mom will let me know about it i feel like i learned what aids and stds were when this happened
which is maybe too young i think a lot of people did what What did you learn from Mike Tyson? The concept of rape.
Yeah.
Because I was reportedly telling kids at school that morning
that Mike Tyson had raked someone.
Because I heard it on whatever FM morning show that my dad would listen to.
On this day in 2013, shares of Twitter went on sale to the public for the first time.
By the end of the day, it was valued at $31 billion.
$31 billion?
What did Elon buy it for?
Did he buy it for $44?
That seems like a pretty slow burn.
Yeah, I don't know.
Should we sell shares?
Of what?
Yeah, of what?
The dumb zone?
Yeah, like the Packers.
We could do that.
Yeah.
People actually do that.
All right.
Well, keep it in mind.
We're always looking for...
You get a share.
You get a share.
Okay, on this day in 2018,
a gunman killed 12 people at a country music bar
in Thousand Oaks, California
before he took his own life as officers closed in.
The victims included a man
who had survived the mass shooting
at the music concert in Las Vegas.
Yes, I remember that.
Steven Paddock.
No, I remember that there was a guy at both.
I don't want to victim blame.
Oh, no.
But let me just say this.
If you were at the country music festival in Vegas
where somebody opened up with a machine gun,
wouldn't you probably just like,
I'm not going to go to any more concerts?
Or are you thinking, there's no way.
The odds that you're ever at a public shooting
is very, very, very low.
Extremely unlikely.
Doesn't really match the
public fear of it.
You're probably more
dangerous to skydive.
And I think that's kind of safe too.
But I don't know. I'm a drop still here.
I mean, it's the whole thing of
that's the point of terrorism, right? So I can't let them win. I'm don't know. I don't know. I mean, Rob's still here. I mean, it's the whole thing of, like, that's the point of terrorism, right?
So I can't let them win.
I'm going to let go.
Yeah.
And then they did win.
That guy lost.
I can tell you that.
But I don't think you just hole up and do nothing the rest of your life.
I would.
I think you've got to look at it.
I'm holed up and do nothing because I read about it.
That's true.
Yeah.
And on this day in 2020, what a time this was.
Rudy Giuliani held a press conference at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Philadelphia
to contest the U.S. election results.
That ruled.
That is the funny thing.
I don't know if it's funny about this election, but you know if it was the other way around,
right now there'd be just tons of screaming and stuff.
Yeah.
And I'm sure there still is some, but it's not...
Not as overt.
I'm kind of just like, whatever.
I mean, that's what you want.
Let's go for it.
Yeah.
Let's ride it out.
On this day...
Or wait, no.
Now I'm on to today's birthdays.
They include...
Jane Slater is 44.
Kim Spin.
It's not really her specifically, but she did have a very funny tweet one time,
and I don't even care if it was made up.
Wait, which one do you want?
The workout fitness, the fitness thing, or the internships?
I was thinking fitness.
Yeah, the fitness one.
Oh, that she tweeted one time that she found out her boyfriend
was cheating on her because
he said he was at home and they were
both on the same fitness tracker app
and at like 2.15
in the morning his heart rate
was like 170
for like 10 straight minutes.
Just 10?
Boy, I was thinking
10. Just 10? Yeah, I was like, whoa. I'm going to be honest with you. In my mind, I was thinking 10. Just 10?
Yeah, I was like, whoa.
I'm going to be honest with you.
In my mind, I was like, two, they'll think that's what I'm about.
So I'm going to go crazy with 10.
They'll be impressed.
Yeah.
The other one was that she yelled at everybody for saying that interns should be paid.
And she's like the heir to the chili throne.
Is she really?
Her grandfather founded
Hormel Chili.
Really? Yeah.
Damn.
I want to be heir to a chili throne.
That's so
much better than like
I don't know if you found out it was like natural
gas or something.
They're both super wealthy but wouldn't it be cool if also you got like,
she probably has like a Hormel bowling shirt or free chili or all the other cool.
I think free chili is cooler than a bowling.
Okay, but go ahead.
Stuff no one else can get type thing.
Former cowboy Taco Charlton is 30.
Oh my God.
Oh my God. Oh, my God.
Did they just release him?
Or did they trade him?
They couldn't find another Jerry Jones to trade for him?
Boy, Bueno could not wait to sign that endorsement deal.
Yeah, because they didn't have to give away very much food
because he never got a sack.
It might be one of the reasons the Cowboys drafted him, don't you think?
I don't think that's out of the question.
Taco.
Taco.
Former Ranger Chris Benson is 50.

So, yes, this is the one thing on right now that I...
Huh?
I think it was like a 60s show or something.
I mean, the guy is 67 now,
and he was like a 10-year-old in the show.
69 to 74.
Oh.
That's it?
Yeah.
He married one of America's next top stars.
He married one of America's next? Yeah.
He married one of America's next top stars.
Okay.
Good for him.
Actor Jason London is 52.

Oh.
Career, lifelong alcoholic.

Had the very weird move where maybe thought he was more famous than he was.
I'm not sure.
He kind of did the deal where sometimes when we do like sit-ins and stuff
we don't know if people want pictures so there's like it will say hey do you want a picture and
somebody will say uh i wasn't planning on it yeah so why would we want a picture with you
morgan spurlock as soon as like the power brokers of hollywood and presidents were getting caught

Because wasn't he the head coach of the last all-white national champion?
Yeah, they were the last all-white national champion?
Yeah, they were the last to do it.
Like the Adolph Rupp of football?
Pretty much.
All right.

Okay.
At least there's a benefit.
Yeah.
So what happens if you lose?
The mayor of Dallas just does it with other people's ribs.
Yeah, he does it for chips.
If you lose, you just don't reply.

Fair enough.
Anyway, we appreciate you having you guys out.
It's been great.
Taryn has been pushing you.
She's a huge fan.
Of course, we're very familiar with you guys as well.
But we're Axis Realty as well.
If you need any commercial brokerage help, we can cover you there.
I don't know what that means.
We're that dumb.
The ones who know know. Another word, realty. Yeah. Yeah can cover you there. I don't know what that means. Eagle survey. We're that dumb. The ones who know know.
Another word, reality.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, Eagle surveying.
If you need any land surveying, you don't know what that is.
There's a category 1A survey.
Surely you know 1A surveys, right?
You ask me what I like and I say highly likely, somewhat likely, that kind of thing?
No, not that kind of survey.
Land surveying, yeah.
So anyway.
You know the name of our show, right?
Yeah, we're not intelligent people.
We have wives that handle everything.
Taryn's got, she's got ideas for more opportunities for us.
So we're going to see you guys in the future. We can discuss some of these things and learn together what brokerage and surveying and all that good stuff means.
Exciting.
If you want to invest in some real estate, we can help you with that, too.
Investing.
Oh, yes.
Interesting.
You heard the news, right?
You told me.
Yeah.
Okay.
I did.
I did tell you.
I'm just trying to play along here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, the Fed dropped rates by a quarter point today.
Boy, that's great.
I was waiting for your reaction.
That's good, yeah.
I thought y'all would be excited about that.
Is that good?
It's good.
It's going to be good.
We think as rates drop that commercial real estate will improve.
So, yeah, it's good for us.
Okay.
So a quarter point.
Good.
Yeah.
It's a start. Oh, yeah, it's good for us. Okay. So a quarter point. Good. Yeah. It's a start.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
All right.
Anyway, but Taryn, we want to give her some time because she's got a cause that's really,
really important and near and dear to her.
So we paid the money, but we really wanted to spotlight what she's got going on.
So I'll turn it over to her.
Okay.
Thanks, man.
Okay. I have been gripped with excitement.
Ah.
You like that?
Yeah.
Yes.
To have you guys out here.
I am a part of a nonprofit organization, and I really wanted to get the word out to the DZ family, the dum-dums.
I heard Video Guy just refer to you as the dum-dums. I heard video guy just
refer to you as a dum-dum, Dan. So I think that's a word that I can go with, a dum-dum. But
we at Meg Matters, we are a nonprofit focused on raising funds for mental health support staff
and suicide prevention and mental health
education in schools our organization was started in memory of Megan labrum
who lost her battle with mental illness at the age of 20 her mental health
challenges started in middle school and her family were notified by a counselor
at school but the counselor didn't have any resources really to give her family were notified by a counselor at school, but the counselor didn't have any resources really to give her family.
So they kind of walked that into the wilderness without really any help.
And so we have been a part of this organization trying to provide resources and access to care for anybody that's struggling with mental health.
and access to care for anybody that's struggling with mental health.
And we've found that our community, we're in crumb,
and our school district has been very receptive to what we're doing.
And so we've worked closely with them.
And we actually got a social worker hired for our school district and have some suicide prevention programs in place
and peer support programs for our kids.
And it's been really eye-opening about the need that's there.
And so I wanted to come on here and just let people know about our website and our Instagram
so they can go there and kind of have a landing page to find resources for anybody needing help.
That's Meg Matters TX on Instagram and Meg Matters TX dot org.
And I think Blake's going to put that in the show notes.
And then also we have a free resource that the United Way of Denton County has provided that is allowing me to share with the DZ family.
And Blake will, I'm sure, put that out as well.
But there's three free resources.
Credible Mind, which is a website that's really easy to access and provides lots of videos, articles and podcasts about different mental health topics.
articles and podcasts about different mental health topics.
And then there is something called the Denton County Mental Health Navigators,
which is an amazing resource that is actually the only county in Texas that has this program available and one of six counties in the nation where you can call this helpline number and they have two bilingual
full-time staff that will basically be a caseworker to help you navigate mental health
needs, helping with insurance and connecting you. And if you don't have insurance, that's fine. They
help you connect with the different resources available. And so, and then there's also a find help. If you Google
find help, there's a resource to be able to pick any topic. If it's needing help with an elderly
person in your family, getting resources, getting connected with different organizations, depending
on what you're needing, it's all right there. So those are just some free resources that
would be helpful if you know anybody that is
struggling. It's kind of time, you know, sensitive. Sometimes a friend comes to you and is needing
help. And so this is just a great place for someone to come land and find some resources to get help.
Well, very cool. This is a noble cause, dear and dear to my heart, for sure. So the main website,
a noble cause, dear and dear to my heart, for sure. So the main website, megmatterstx.org.
Yes. And then on our Instagram, if you go to megmatterstx on our Instagram,
we there have a resource tab and I shared today the wellbeing programs and that has all the different information about which i just shared credible mind and mental
health navigator hotline and find help well very cool we appreciate you having us out here yeah and
for the book you've been a uh taryn has been a big supporter of the program for many many many years
yes thank i i have to say thank you to n Hamilton, who's here, Big P1.
He got me in studio back in the day when, I don't know,
I think Dan broke a little rule and Bob wasn't too happy about it,
but I got in studio thanks to charity.com.
At that time, he called it charity.com, but now we actually have a charity,
so I thought what better way to celebrate to have him out. her birthday and we just I just had her in oh yes they asked
yeah I mean I was like yeah but had to sell it like oh no it's because of
something else they might just say we have well and I do want to say, when y'all left, it was kind of like mom and dad got a divorce.
And I chose to live with dad.
So I've been following you guys.
And Jake, my dad and your dad, I think, need to hang out because I, too, watched Faces of Death.
because I, too, watched Faces of Death.
And everything that you talk about of your childhood is basically my childhood,
except for my parents actually got remarried.
Hot.
Yeah.
My mom cheated on my stepdad with my dad.
That's even hotter.
Oh, my God.
Wow.
Oh, my God.
So, yeah.
Hold on. kindred spirits.
What happened to the stepdad?
I don't know.
He actually was on a golf course one day when I was a cart girl.
And I was like, hey, what's up?
That was the only time I saw him after that.
How long were they married?
That was the only time I saw him after that.
How long were they married?
It was a year, and my mom got it annulled based off of being insane.
All right.
Real hot.
We got lots of hotness going on with it.
This is fantastic.
Insane sex, yeah.
Do you think your dad ever saw this? She said he only had one ball. So I don't know if that...
What's going on here?
I don't know if that had something to do with it.
I'm not saying his name, so that's okay if I disclose that, right?
Totally.
We didn't say anything.
Although we've actually kind of learned we're responsible for what people say on the show, too.
Oh, oops.
Going back to that whole court thing.
Oh, yeah.
Well, no.
Eventually, we weren't really responsible.
Anyway, so they actually had another ceremony?
Yeah.
Well, they got married at the-
And was the stepdad there?
No.
He was long gone.
But yeah, they got married at the Justice of the Peace.

especially after that.
And my friend Diana,
my childhood friend who's here,
who's a big, huge P1
and dumb zoner,
her parents were at,
the witnesses at the ceremony.
So, yeah.
Okay.
She doesn't seem to be thrilled
to be looped into that story.
She's thrilled.
She might not say it,
but she witnessed it all.

Thank you for watching my video. Subscribe and type for my name if you want to watch more of my videos. This feeling's never last this long So many thoughts running through my head I can't take it, I wish I was dead
No one wants to feel this way
It hurts when people call you gay
Never knowing what to do
I wish I could start off new
Feeling like I've got no friends
Feeling so alone again
How much more of this can I take?
All I am is a huge mistake
I've got Nothing in life to live for.
I've got no one in life to live for.
I am not going to care What is thought about me or my hair
I don't care what people say
If I'm told now I'll do it anyway
Grown ups may call me a freak
And classmates may call me a geek
I don't care what's in their mind
I just mean I'm one of a kind
Something strange is happening
People are talking to me
Sitting here wondering why
I ever thought I wanted to die
I found something in life to live for
I found someone in life to enforce. guitar solo I found something in life to live for
I found someone in life to live for.
I found someone in life to live for. We'll see you next time.
