In fact, its original name instead of President's Day was Washington's birthday. Really? And it only started in the District of Columbia. Wasn't a national holiday. Are you done? Yes.

Yeah, okay And you knew when they did 17 it would go to 18 it had to it's a matter of time Anyway today we broadcast live to tape and perhaps live to live I don't know we might be on YouTube right now if we are sweet. I've heard a lot about it From high top my garage, because we had some sit-ins scheduled, they are, now I had a lady's name written here, Blake, for the sit-in.

Mm-hmm. Did the lady book this sit-in? Yeah, booked it and decided not to show. Because I put on my Sunday best. I know. I combed my hair. I put cologne on this morning. Dude, I showered yesterday. I put on my Sunday best. I know. I combed my hair. I put cologne on this morning. Dude, I showered yesterday.

I neared my taint. How often do I shower? Less than we'd like. I'm not showering every day. But yeah, that says something. Yeah. And there's no lady here. I rubbed one out so I wouldn't be too worked up.

But no lady, but we do have Chris and Sully here. Sully. Hey! Isn't that in Hot Rod? Isn't that What's His Name's Buddy that he sees across the bar? Hey Sully! No way! You guys know what I'm talking about? No. I've seen that movie but not enough to... Jobe from Arrested Development was dating the Hot Rod... I think Sully's got a mic, he can help you.

You're familiar with all the Sullys in pop culture? Yeah, we had a really nice run there from Hot Rod to Tom Hanks, Monsters Inc. Monsters Inc. Monsters Inc? Used to get a lot of sorority girls be like, wait, like Sully? Awesome. Monsters Inc?

Yeah, and you're like, hell yeah. Andrew Sullivan, former writer for The Atlantic, which everybody was pretty stoked on. With his reports inside the Beltway. You probably got that one a lot too. The Dish. Definitely. Yeah, that was a good newsletter. Yeah, that was a good newsletter. Yeah, we had a good pop culture run there for a while.

And now? Is it Sully's lady or Chris's lady that set this up? It's my lady, Annie. Okay. Yeah, girlfriend. What is your relationship? Brothers. The two of you are brothers?

I'm Jake Devlin. in in the are you on the couch and and that's all uh... of the one introduced i want to introduce the cabinet in turner is uh... sitting with us today biggest we invited him for s and l talking is like could i just come for the whole show like i don't know and he's like uh... please i really want to

and uh... so here is he literally doesn't have anything better to do so i'm off today for sure Oh, you're off on your yeah company holidays you take radio program. Yeah, you take them Huh, you have to take the company holidays for many years. I didn't You got bank it, you know use it later. We're going mustache now, huh? What? Well, Muzzy. Oh crap. I left it on there. That's a nice Muzzy Yeah, I I was actually auditioning to play a cop. Is it your Maystache? Yeah. Early Maystache? Yeah.

I could see you playing a cop. I want to go mustache but I'm not sure if we're to the point where it still feels like I'm trying to do a mustache. Do you know what I mean? Like I feel like if you got it in during COVID, that was a good time. And now we're in this weird after thing. I look at him and I feel like he just has a mustache. I don't think I would look like that. Yeah, it'd be weird if you had a mustache. I mean, yours is an aggressive mustache.

It's very in your face. It's very thick. It's very in your face. Yeah. Yours is an aggressive mustache. It's very in your face. It's very thick. It's very in your face. It's great, yeah.

Yeah. Well, thanks, KT, for being here. Thanks for the invite. We will talk SNL 50. Long. Long. It's my initial reaction. It's a long show.

Very long. It was shorter than the 40th by about 30 minutes. I watched much of it last night Yeah, a little bit this morning kind of wrapped it up when I got up this morning, but Seems like there's probably a reason that shows 90 minutes every week That's a good point. What was it? It was like three and a half hours three and a half hours Yeah, there's commercials, but still it's trying to jam in 50 years of tributes stuff KT decided to come in. I open the garage for him on my app

and then he just walks up, doesn't close the garage. What the hell is that? What are you trying to do? Energy bills, bro. I don't know how garages work, man. That's some fancy stuff. Similar to Jake, never closes it on his way out. Do you know that?

How would I close it on my way out? There's a button on the outside. You just type the code in? Apparently the enter button is that just closes it. So you go out you type the code in and you hit enter? No, the truth is I never learned this until Blake... Well then why are you jumping my ass for it? Well because now I know it and I'm now going to make fun of you. Blake taught me because when Blake would leave he would close the garage door and I saw him leave once and he just hits the enter button Apparently if it's open and you just hit enter it closes I thought you guys taught me that walk around neighborhoods and do that to people. Oh no

I yeah, it says inner slash and then the down. I've actually never parked in a garage in my life So whatever this society you guys live in. Okay, having a garage is not high society. I bet you hang a little tennis ball. You guys had a new... I don't want to run into the wall. You guys just had a reno, correct? I still will not be parking in the garage. Why wouldn't you have built a garage big enough all this time?

Well, it was either office or garage parking space. That's part of it. I thought office is over the garage. Also I do need, I need my weights. I need to be able to clang and bang a little iron. When you said I want to build an office above the garage, did your wife point out that I have one above my garage and you just want to be like this guy?

Of course. Yeah. Yeah. That's like whenever I tell her that I'm too tired to have sex, she's like, oh, what are you just doing? Just want to be like Dan. Or just too indifferent. Yeah.

Not real tired. I'm not tired at all. Feeling great. I'm just looking at you. Anyway. Oh, real tired. I'm not tired at all. Feeling great. I'm just looking at you. Anyway, oh, new sponsor alert. Bear fight whiskey. Whoa. Hey, bear fight whiskey. That's a beautiful bottle. Their slogan. You see me and a bear in a fight. Pour honey on me. So actually not their slogan, but I am trying to talk to their top men about that. Bold yet approachable. Bear Fight is crafted for both whiskey aficionados. Would you guys call yourselves that? Anyone here? A whiskey aficionado? Youully looks like one. Sure. Sully does

look like if anybody wanted this bare fight whiskey. And newcomers. So maybe that would be you Blake. Breaking the mold of traditional whiskey brands it is disruptive and versatile with a smooth award-winning profile that's perfect neat on the rocks or in a cocktail what is neat Sully what does that mean? No ice. No ice? All right. I could have helped with that one. I'm just trying to work it here. Anyway, Bear Fight Whiskey launches first-ever ad campaign starring Gabriel Macht from Suits. Of course.

Posing the question, what's your bear fight? While he's known for his sharp, confident role as Harvey Spector, Macht has stepped into this latest venture as himself, the guy behind the suit, ready to take a playful look at the challenges we face celebrating with a damn good whiskey. Sounds good to me. So anyway, this campaign invites people to share their daily bear fights. And you can do that or buy bear fight whiskey at bearfightwhiskey.com. They got the URL. So thanks.

Thanks bear fight. To our newest sponsor, bear fight whiskey. Would you like to do a weekend check? Indeed. Before we get to sports, I do have some sports. I'm gonna have to revisit Luca a little bit today. Yeah. Where are you on that? I mean do you feel... Like I feel like I'm moving on but not like I'm now going to move forward as a Mavs fan and be fired up about this Mavs team team like i'm moving on because

you know it's just a death you don't yet there's nothing else you can do uh... have to move on yeah i'd say that that that that probably where i am uh... maybe the whole process would have been expedited a little bit is the brown was healthy uh... but now you're going to be coming back still with no gaffer. I think that's part of the brow being unhealthy is part of this whole equation.

That's what you signed up for when you traded for this guy, even if you traded something else for him. You're, what, 10 days away from Mavs Lakers? Eight days? Something as lakers eight days something like that and is is that twenty-four you get that february twenty-fifth subtle fire things back up for you

and then the first week of april and in the playoffs like this is basically is low visibility as he's going to be for the rest of the year because going forward to be making a push for the playoffs, and you're gonna play them twice. So... If you're... it's chill right now, it won't be, in a couple weeks, couple months, then they'll be in the playoffs, and you'll have to be watching that. I want the Mavs to win, I guess.

But I don't have... I'm not like real fired up about it. Yeah, I don't care. And I'm not any less mad about it I I'm indifferent like I'm not really rooting for them to lose But if they do lose I'll think it's pretty funny and I don't care. I don't care if they make the playoffs. I don't care I Know it's their owners. It's it's the owner and GM like I wanted to be just mad at the GM And I wanted to hear the owner kind of be like,

hey, he's the basketball guy, they talked. No, then the owner's jumping in like, yeah. Kept getting worse and worse. You guys suck, and he sucks, and they're ripping my guy. They're ripping our guy. Should we play some of that audio today? Well, which one? Are we allowed to play the luncheon audio?

I assume so right yeah I played a clip of it the other day. Okay. I didn't know when that came in Yeah, no somebody sent us secret audio. They recorded It's not better. They recorded Tommy boy speaking at a luncheon. Yep, and Yeah It's not better at all. So Thursday I had the I Heart responsibility of karaoke cam. Because you remember there was some karaoke cam problems. Yes.

What do you mean? You guys had the guys on. So basically it's like on the schedule for me like once or twice a year. Because each of the I Heart stations you go up and they give you free tickets. To the Mavs right holders. Free tickets to the game. But you you go up and they give you free. So the Mavs right hole free tickets to the to the game. But you just got to go with me on camera. So the night that it caused a big stir and you guys had the guys on,

that was Jeff Kay doing karaoke cam for ninety two five. Wait a minute. So you are the guy like the hype man. Yeah. So they go to me first. And then, you know, for me, I always tell them, bring it back on me because I'm a I've saw you carry. Okay You're talking to the whole stadium like hey, like nah, they got the mic off. It's yeah, that's that's not great Okay, but it's it just not the camera knows where you are Yeah, it's part of a rights or a yeah advertising deal Yeah, and they put the other logo of the station up so you get the the email of from the I heart people the free

Tickets nice tickets like lower levels. It's like, okay good. Let's go So I get notified at about 2 p.m Karaoke camps canceled tonight. We're not gonna do that Which I'm like I get it To get the tickets, but I got the ticket so I went to the game So I went to the game knowing that Kyrie was out, Clay was out, anyone was out. It was the minor league Mavs play.

But you never get sweet seats like that. I tell you guys, section 113 and the redhead guy that you guys had on last week, I'd say that guy sucks. That guy fucking sucks. He's how do we get it? I get it, and it was interesting when he was on y'all show and I get it that guy Okay, no, he's been thrown out of a game before like I get it that guy's made You guys think about himself

Do you guys seem and I saw them and they were sitting by themselves away from redhead guy dude redhead guy was like He starts the fire Nikko chance, but then like, but I love the players. I love you, Kyrie Irving. And just yelling at the whole game. Yeah, I saw some, some of those videos over the weekend. Like, dude, it's a lot that guy. It's a lot. It made me, he got on TMZ. I mean, dude, it's, it's officially his show now. And I could say he was five seats behind me But you could tell that the ushers were kind of playing it cool like hey, we're not messing with anyone Everyone's say what they want now, you know

So they just they took the heat it was just interesting to see that guy just kind of ruin an experience like Like man, I'm actually kind of enjoying Dante X. I'm going off. Of course. I'm still mad about this but like okay This is very strange spitzer didn't wait either way too much of him. Why that guy's still going back there. He's got nothing else He didn't have anything else besides Fire Nico like what you do. Let's get a little creative just a little more creative That's all he was on y'all show. So I thought I'd bring it up. Yeah Now and no, it's our guy. Yep

It's weird the Luca thing sucks so bad But it is giving a bump to certain things like I'll bet is talk has a ton of new subscribers up at Mark Stein does I think we actually do well, that's good news because you better get it in now because they're going to be Completely irrelevant in 18 months for the next decade. So pack it in, pack your subscriptions and your content, this applies to us now too, because three years from now, no one will give a shit about the Mavericks and that'll just be the beginning.

Well, I mean, Iztalk is probably going to switch over and just kind of cover Luka, and so will we. I'm happy with becoming the show that follows Luka. But the thing is you're trying to get a read on your audience and there's still a lot of people, they exist, that are like, I just love the maps. Okay, well they're just not gonna get a lot of content from me. That's fair enough. I just, yeah, I was talking to a buddy on the trip who was there that, the Boston game game the first North Korea game And he's like you wouldn't there's people who are like

If they think this makes the team better Like I love I love Anthony Davis. He's great Yeah, I know I don't think I'll ever be there Well, I got a real deep dive on Max Christie coming tomorrow morning So I'll skip you on the coffee list for that one. No, I mean, I know what you mean, you know No, I'm interested in the team. I do like the guys, but I'm not I don't I'm very indifferent That's just not what you want. That's not what you want The weekend check will be brought to us by community DFw.com. Community Mechanical is the name of this HVAC company.

What's the V stand for in HVAC, KT? I would guess vacuum, but I've never really known. Probably. Venereal. No one really knows. But they deal with your air conditioning and heating units. They were out of my house while I was gone. Oh, yeah? I'd love to tell you what they're doing. I don't really know but I

know that it involves an inspection and I know that it involves making some rooms not hotter than others. Yeah. That's a pretty cool deal. They know how to do that so they know if oh man there's this is a cold spot we can fix that or this and that. Preventative maintenance as well. They found something that was disconnected in my attic. Dumping carbon monoxide into the attic. Seems bad. Yeah.

So they fixed that up. And if you are building a new residential or commercial property or just remodeling your current space, they offer custom in-house design and construction of any HVAC or refrigeration system required for your project. Did you know that if you book a free estimate for uneven heating, cooling, or need of repairs, they will buy you a Dumb Zone Knit Cap, regardless, even if you don't use them for the repairs?

Did you know that if you get a new HVAC system with Community Mechanical, they'll get you a 690 like what the boys are experiencing right now? Oh, really? Yeah, they will. A sit-in? So tell them you heard about it on the dumb zone and they'll hook you up. It's communitydfw.com community mechanical. Let's give the number to 469-667-7290 because they will answer that by text. They will. Can confirm. Or call. You want You wanna start, Blake, or me? What are we doing here?

Uh... Why don't you start? Okay. Weekend check. So, two big things are happening. Uh, number one, I do play a phone game. Okay. Every day. Well, I'll play a couple of games.

One is Words with Friends, and I just have two people on that that I play against. Boggle is my other one. Okay. So I'm a Boggle guy, but I only have two people I play. One is my mom, and I think one is Donovan. No, three people. And then one is Wendy E. And I gotta say, I don't know if anybody else has these relationships. But Wendy E appears to be some kind of a grandma.

Because her picture will be her, she's an old lady, but occasionally it'll be an old lady like a little four year old or... I've seen this girl grow up too. I've been playing this lady for years. How did you come to know Wendy E? You'll get a random like quest, it'll just be like hey do you want to it'll it'll hit you up random and then usually I don't answer those because I only need a couple of games. I play it at night a couple games and then

I go to bed then I play it when I wake up and then I go to like I don't play all day I'll just do one move a day or maybe two maybe one at night one in the morning. So I've been playing Wendy E one move a day for years and the thing is when you get a random Oftentimes you will be You're just too good for them or they're too good for you or something. You need someone that kind of matches up You know, you want to have a friendly fun rivalry You want to win some and lose some sure Sure. You don't want to go 20 and 0. Or else you don't want to play that person.

Not fun. But Wendy E is on my, she's right there with me. Me and her, we go back and forth. She's great. Parody. And I think she's an old lady, like I said, years. And it's been four days since she's played. Oh, no. And I'm concerned about Wendy E. And there's no way for me to get in touch with Wendy E.

Like now I'm just hoping, I hope her family's okay. I hope nothing's wrong with that grandkid. Yeah, that's a lot, man. You have no other information whatsoever. Like if she just goes away, I will have, literally three or four years I've been playing Wendy E once a day on Boggle. Yeah, and that old people days count for a lot. Old people days count for a lot. Four years in her time.

Yeah, four days. That's a month. Yeah, that's a lot. Unless you were just playing the child the whole time. Maybe I've been playing the kid. Maybe I've been playing a Manti Teow. It is very funny to think about, like in some way, shape or form, you interact with this being every day. And they exist somewhere. Yeah. It could be a guy. Like I don't know what I am to her. Right. Is she concerned about me when I take two or three days

and I can't go? But that's pretty rare. I'm a very consistent person. Blake, I think you know what you got to do. What's that? Track down Wendy E? He got a book, Wendy E. I was going to ask, are you going to make her grandkid

finish the game? Yeah. I'll probably destroy that grandkid. Oh. And then my other thing is, so I buy fish every weekend and then I'll make it for the week.

And what you guys don't know about me is that I am a fan of oysters. So I eat this, I buy these boxed smoked oysters. Yeah. And I'll eat that on the weekend. Maybe once during the week.

Oh, I think you guys might have seen me eating oysters a time or two. Very high in iron, very high in protein. Once upon a time I got it in my head, I need to get some more iron in my life. Yeah, one of those passing moments. It's like a million percent daily value of it. Like, oysters are the greatest thing you could eat for iron. You have some left. Yeah, that's great. So I never have bought them myself to make but they had them on

sale at the grocery store it was like ten for ten bucks and I'm like huh I think I'll buy oysters so now I had to decide golf or Atlantic. So I I'm asking a couple of people who are also buying oysters. They didn't just call the first one America now? Yeah. So I bought oysters. And the first thing they do is, well, once they give it to you, they pick out 10 oysters. And then they give you the bag, and it's open.

Like you ever get fish or whatever, they tie the bag up and they, whatever. And they go, you gotta keep it open or else they'll die. And then I'm thinking, they're alive? So apparently they're alive. I did not know that. What? I didn't know that either.

Yeah, and so it's on ice, but you keep the bag and the air open and you could put it in the fridge overnight. And then, so that's what I did Apparently they don't have a central nervous system, so they don't feel pain. I was told this by my daughter god what a Just telling you because I didn't want to move it around. It's like hey Long story short is that what we do on fish? We say they have no central nervous system?

I don't know. OK. It does seem like that. Is that the thing? I don't know. But you, guy who doesn't eat meat, you pulled that pretty quickly. So I thought that.

Pull a fish hook out, and they don't seem to be upset about it. Yeah, they seem fired up. OK. You know, went to YouTube looking for videos, how to cook oysters? I would, I don't have the first clue. Like I know raw oysters and like, well like, oysters, uh, oysters, oysters Rockefeller, you know, you get a little breadcrumb and hot, I don't know the normal other way. So I looked at the recipes for that, I looked, then I decided I need the easiest thing. So you could boil them apparently or steam them.

You can fry them. You can bake them. You could pry it open and then bake them. But there was an easy one, your broil. You put it on a pan and you pretty much just heat them up and then it supposedly will pop open and then you eat them. It ain't that easy. It's a mess. It seems very crawfishy. Yes, so much work. I was actually thinking of crawfish as I'm

eating my last oyster, which does not fill you up at all. No. And I bought 10. I could only open seven. So I ended up having to eat a box of them too to satisfy myself. my $11 You got like half of a snack, but you felt cool but no and it took like an hour and a half of just the work and the prying it open like Yes, crawfish is a great example. I feel like too much effort for the payoff is crab claw worth it Is that that also seems like right. It's very little amount of food, yes. Unless you could do it right, maybe.

It just seems like those are the sort of things that you eat that purely, it's status. That that's how that got assigned as like, this is something that is nice to do. Because it's so hard? Yeah. That makes this worth more? Yeah, and somehow it's like

a marketing thing. You guys have heard about lobster and poor people, right? However long ago in Massachusetts, this is like the food of the poor. It would wash up on the beach, nobody wanted it. And I don't remember how they they flipped the narrative but lobster started out as poor people food It was not expensive. It was the cheapest thing you could buy. Well, you know my bid on lobster butter If it's that great, why do you have to dip it fully in butter? Yeah, like if I dip a piece of you know, poop and butter. I mean obviously We I'll take it to the extreme just like you did Why season anything then?

Is all of it already good enough? No. Well, dipping a little butter on something and immersing it in butter and pulling it out is a different game, I think. Well, what about for other things? Do you season your fish? A little bit.

Sure. Do you do a little cocktail sauce and horseradish or something with your oysters or you just taking them straight? I did not but I should have. But okay. Were they Gulf Coast? Did you find out? Because that matters. It says here, brain-eating amoeba man. So it was the poor man's food, lobster, slaves, prisoners, the like. Those are poor people. Became a delicacy. I'm glad that I did not point out

there was a shipping magnate who was also homeless. Yes, typically poor people. By the late 1800s, chefs discovered that cooking the lobster fresh tasted better than cooking it after killing it. So that drove up demand. No. That's for rich folk. Nothing about the butter. So that's why they're still in the tank in Red Lobster. Correct. Boy, that was so cool to look at when you were a kid. When you were a kid? Are they rocking with that now? I haven't seen a live lobster tank

at a grocery store in a long time. They have them at Central Market. At Central Market I would think so. It's right next to the oysters. Before the Cheddar Bay Biscuits make them go bankrupt, me and Brooks had a great time just staring at them. Really? Yeah. Got the different bands on their claws. Yeah. Different colors.

Like little jerseys. Yeah. I like the red one. Yeah. I guess I have a huge weekend check since I was gone for a while. I went to Angel Fire after swearing off last year ever getting back on a mountain. I felt like even though the year of Jake is well over, I felt like I owed it to myself to give it a shot with my not horribly shaped physical health.

Can the year of Jake not be a full calendar year? Can it have started February 15th? No. And I mean, to be honest, there's unlikely to ever be a year of me again after that lucatrade. That's where we are. That's where the vibes are right now. Can't happen.

Because I'm always going to be thinking about it. And that can't be a part of your year. I'm holding out hope. I'm rooting for the year of Jake. I'm not indifferent for it. Thank you. But I got back out there and I loved it. Turns out if you're not in terrible shape

and half in the bag. You can have fun. Yeah. Yeah, and it's weird too because I would say that most of my friends are in great shape. And they've been always. Last year I was like, this sucks. The other thing too is-

Why can't I keep my balance? Yeah, give me another beer. Yeah, right? And some people seem to be able to pull that off. But it's also just like the getting to the mountain. It can be a beating. And if you're in bad shape, it's a terrible beating. And it wasn't this time.

So I enjoyed it. I went almost all day the first day, half day, four hours the second day. Stayed out there by myself, ripped it up solo. Actually enjoyed it. Maybe you could become hot ski instructor guy someday in your next life. Don't know that I'm instructor.

We know those guys. Yeah. Those guys are having the year of them all the time. Yeah, you're getting tail Just those guys those guys don't look like me. Did you pizza or french fry? I snowboard so neither Snowboard yes, what does that mean? I? Don't even know where we answer that you're like is it like surfing I? Don't your horizontal

We're just not understanding how you've never heard of a snowboard. Yeah, I mean... Is it like surfing? What do you mean? I don't know, it's not like laying on it, is it? Like a sled. Did you never watch Sean White or anything? I don't know where the bit ends and begins. So you never do... You never ski? I skied one day when I was, the first time I went, when I was maybe 12. But for the past, whatever that is, 28 years I've snowboarded. Really? He's extreme, man.

Huh. Yeah! That's surprising to me. Well, is it surprising to you now or is it... I haven't been skiing since I was a kid. See, I don't know what the jokes are because it would be surprising to you maybe 15 years ago when we met. What's the ratio of snowboarders to skiers? Probably two ski to one snowboard.

Okay, it's that much. Maybe even... If not more. More ski? Yeah, the olds are not gonna board. Yeah, but you are forgetting how time works. I am an old now. I'm the guy who brings his kids

Yeah, but if you're but if you're doing that with your grandkids or whatever and you're in your 60s or 70s You're not snowboarding maybe but what I'm saying Yes But that's I think going to change because I've never skied other than that one day and when I take my son or my daughter Now my daughter tried skiing but eventually if I'm going with them, I'm not gonna learn to ski when I'm 50. I mean I get it but like in the gear just seeing you out there you don't look like an old. It feels like snowboarding would be harder. Well for some people it is but I had a base of skateboarding so I was at least somewhat okay to start out. Now I will tell you a buddy of mine who's my age who's never skied in his life was a very good roller blader or as we call them fruit booters. And he was like really good. And he picked it up skiing one the first time immediately no problems so it

is possible yeah actually actually kind of enjoyed it it was nice I love X Games Jake let's get a little halfpipe out there let's get the skateboard well because the other thing is it's got to be great exercise it is your my band was going crazy not great for the steps, but good for the heart rate. I just wasn't as worried about dying. Like last time, I don't think it was because I was like hammered, I think I was just in such bad shape

that the whole time I'm like, fuck dude, if I fall, you know, to 10, 20, 30, $40,000, and this time it just didn't worry me as bad. I did have one, everybody who's skied or snowboard knows this the asshole fall where you fall and one of your butt cheeks hits first and Your other one keeps kind of going and you're positive that you're shitting yourself because your asshole ripped open No, just me I'm not familiar You fall then you're like there's no way it's not bloody. I felt it.

I felt the other cheek keep sliding. Easy drive, I just worked the whole time in the car. Like, read. I watched the entire SNL documentary. Documentary? There's a four-parter they put out. It's really not cohesive. It's four individual things that Peacock put out.

Then yeah, we hung out at the room, watched some street beefs. It's always a classic. I'm not familiar. It's exactly what you think it is. It's just street fighting. So it's today's version of bump fights? Yeah, but there's not the... Some of the people do look like they could be homeless,

but it's not exclusively homeless. It's a wolf bump fighting. Yeah. But they'll just have like, the two dudes who are not fighters at all. Like it'll be a guy who's kind of looks like he's fought before and then it'll just be like some dude with a chili bowl cut

and board shorts or cargo shorts. And sometimes that guy just kicks the shit out of a dude who looks like a real tough guy. That feels like John Rocker versus Pat Mahomes. Oh gosh, I missed out on that whole story. Pat Mahomes looks a bit skinny and John Rocker looks like he'll pummel him. Let's see, I watched the movie Waterworld for the first time. Never seen it, always heard.

It's like a terrible movie, right? It's just, it's like a terrible movie, right? It's pan. It's so bad and that got me to reading about the making of it. It's awesome. There's probably a documentary about that. Is this Kevin Costner? Was this at the height of his powers? He could get anything done he wanted?

So it's like, I want to do this. I want to film a movie in the water. And it sucked? Yeah, they spent $175 million on it. Now it did make $200. Did it actually suck? Dude, I have a working theory that there was a time in the 90s where action movies

tried to be serious too much. There's nothing funny about that movie. About a water rope. Yeah, there's no, because that's not really Costner's Lane. Like Seagull, Stallone, Van Damme. In the 90s, it was like, hey, why don't we let Kevin Costner make an action movie? And it's gay.

There's stories about what I think our immigration don't know. But it's so bad, dude. And a bunch of people got hurt while they were making it. He probably just looked this up. Is this like the house? Did you rent a house? Buddy's parents had their

Semi-retired a bunch of dudes. Yeah, and we all watch this Yeah, after the melting of the polar ice caps most of the globe is underwater some humans have survived and even fewer still notably the Notably Kevin Costner have adapted to the ocean by developing gills. Yeah Kevin Costner have adapted to the ocean by developing gills. Yeah. Yes. A loner by nature, uh, of course, friends, a female and her young companion, as they escaped from a hostile artificial island, soon the sinister

smokers are pursuing them in the belief that she holds the key to finding the mythical dry land. Yeah. They're all looking for dry land. And I'll tell you something else. Uh, what year Blake, were we talking 95? 1995. Dry land. Yeah, they're all looking for dry land And I'll tell you something else What year Blake we're talking 95? 1995 so oddly enough that was 30 years ago folks people forget

But you could rough up a woman a little bit 1995 and not really have a problem like this is this this little harlot that's chasing him around he's tired of her and Every chance he gets he'll just toss her ass onto the ground, like shut up. I kind of like how movies or TV that is made depicting the future will still have today's. Yeah, you're still gonna wanna throw them around when they get lippy.

Values or whatever, the same with, you know, like Star Trek, the girls in the future were wearing, you know, real short mini skirts. And like, that's apparently what was happening in the late 60s. Yeah, so you just don't even think about it? Yeah, well this will probably still be the same. Yeah.

I watched the documentary Kings of Tupelo. Anybody else? I've heard of that. It's, I think it was on Netflix. T.C. and Brunig had told me about it. It's worth your time. It's, I don't, it's about an Elvis impersonator that thinks he's discovered like an international

crime organization that sells body parts. Okay. But it's like the perfection of the type of documentary. It's like Tiger King, where they find five or six people that all are, you're like, how does this person exist? Well, they exist because it's Tupelo, Mississippi. And if you send a documentary crew to any of those small towns and give them enough time,

they can find six weirdos. One of them probably is missing a finger, an eye. One of them's got a toupee, you know what I mean? It's just one of those type of documentaries, but it was good. I experienced something in the house that I had not. This is part of our kids getting older. I don't think in this case it was a live stream. I think in this case it was FaceTime, because I have come to learn that youth sports, even like six, seven year olds games, are live streamed on the weekend now. which again is just crazy to me really

it would just seem like it would be a really easy way to make fun of your friends like I was gonna say when you're a grandpa you'll be watching your grandkids that way but maybe even before that yeah I'm saying yeah they put kids his kids games will just be on a website But in this case it was his wife holding the phone which I guess they all do and like they'll put One maybe one mom on it and then other people will connect to it So it's like six o'clock in the morning, New Mexico time I'm up, but nobody else is up and I just hear don't the goddamn flag

And I'm like what f what is going on? Guys don't say anything about it. And he's like, this coach sucks. Like under his breath. I'm like, what is happening? And he's like, Connor's got a game flag. We're down seven. And I'm just listening. Like, this is what you just do now. You can just yell at the parents and coaches. And then you could tell your kid you watch this game exactly I didn't miss your game when I went on a ski trip with my buddy and you can reference a couple plays and for The kid that checks the box. Yeah

Boy what I would have given for that I know it's a latchkey kid riding his bike by himself. I know baseball game One last thing on this on the mountain I Don't know if this is like a trend or if I just witnessed a couple guys doing bits or maybe it's both But I saw a few guys Fully decked out on the mountain in like tactical ski gear so, you know how we'll see guys now that maybe want to go to a counter protest or Just guys who are cosplaying military. Mm-hmm because you can you can buy all this all the stuff Just do that for skiing and have that like like a military helmet with

A GoPro mounted almost like it looks like it's over his eye Okay, like a cyborg type thing with like full camo ski gear a gopro mounted almost like it looks like it's over his eye okay a cyborg type thing with like full camo ski gear and like ammo packs don't know but it was a group of like three dudes actual firearms

don't think so don't think so i imagine they have a a pretty strict rule on that. Some kind of a ban? But it just looked really weird. Yeah. Kind of intimidating. Kind of like a okay. Not badass? They were going for badass.

I didn't see him actually, I mean it looks badass to be honest. Yeah, it's tough to dress up like that and not look like a badass, but it was just weird. It's just weird. I think that's what separates the casuals from the pros or whatever.

Because I'm up there all bundled up and got my little ski poles and I just look like a tourist. Yeah. And they are just looking awesome. Yeah, you'll definitely see the guy in the afternoon, t-shirt snowboard guy will show up. No doubt. It's still your girl.

The hottest girl I've ever seen was wearing a sports bra skiing. You know, there's something too that's amazing. She's probably a four, but damn, that was awesome. So TC has this theory, speaking of that, the four, TC has this theory that scholars were noting it mainly during COVID, that he's like, look, I think these masks, if we're

being honest, this is a good thing. Cause you look over, you're like, I can imagine what's under there. Like I can see a little bit and I like what I see. Now let me fill in the rest. Similar to what you might do with a Muslim. Oh yeah. That happens, dude, if I see female female skiers, snowboarder, all I know is that they're like pig tails. I don't see anything else. Probably a ten. Probably a ten. COVID, Muslims, and ski women. Letting your imagination do the work. Yeah, I guess that's all I have.

It was a fun weekend, it was nice. Oh, I'll tell you this. One more thing for the people who hate hearing about sobriety. I think me and most of my friends and my wife and stuff, they assumed that when I went on vacation and just sort of disappeared to lay down, it was just because I was drunk.

Turns out I just really really like laying down. Naps? Not even nap. Oh so now you're you're saying you're still laying down a lot. Yeah like hey we get back to the room after snowboarding and it's like we're gonna sit in here and watch TV for two hours. Well I may just go lay down for two hours. I may be awake the whole time. I just, you cannot bottle up that feeling enough of no one is asking me for anything right now. Yeah. No one. And look at the next two hours. No one will.

No one needs anything from me. And it's great. It's beautiful. It truly is. anything from me. It's great. It's beautiful. Truly is. My 2025 softball season started Sunday. Did it? It did. How the Cardinals do? A little chilly. It was it was 70 on Saturday. It was great. I know. I know. I took the kid out for a walk and rode by. We had a wonderful Saturday. And then Sunday morning, damn, that wind was cold. What a great day to call my mom, too.

Because she loves to talk. We love to talk weather. OK. That's one of her main topics. She will text me if she sees a cold front coming through, whatever happening in Texas. All of Texas. She sees a hurricane in Galveston and calls me,

makes sure I'm all right. But, sorry, back to you but but the weather is a huge topic Out of the gate slow this year oh and to start for us But you know it's not about playing good softball at the beginning. It's about peaking at the right time This is the league that you were drafted in the first round correct. Yes late first round late first round. Be so modest. Um, I noticed this. You know how we discussed before that food is just better now? It is.

Across the board. Mm-hmm. It's because you guys are putting butter on everything. Well, but even like your little protein drink. Better. Those are great now. Yo, I found a protein bar, and I think this is partially just psychological. I think the company is one.

I've had their stuff before. But they have a protein bar, two of them, and they wrap it in a partnership with Hershey's. Ooh. So it says, the wrapper just says Hershey's Cookies and Cream. Oh yeah. And it's a protein bar, and they have one that says Reese's.

And I think they do taste better, but also you see the wrapper and you're like, oh come on. Yeah. Candy bar time and I think they do taste better. But also you see the rapper and you're like, yeah Yeah, candy bar time. Yeah food is just better. I discovered this in 1997 Oreos made their cookies kosher So everyone could enjoy them. I got one for you. Don't really know what it means. I don't either What I know it means Jewish people can eat it. Yeah Domino's had their whole rebrand, made a comeback.

They're better than ever. Gay. I'm just saying there's advancements and improvements in food, except for Big League Chew. Oh. That shit still sucks. Same as it ever was. They think they perfected it?

Why not create a gum that lasts more than five minutes? Why are you eating Big League Chew? Because I thought, boy, I'd love some gum right now. And then, well, this is over. He's got a game. You get your Big League Chew. Is there just no gum that does last? Yeah, but I don't want Winterfresh out at shortstop. You need, Humblebrag, you need... Sure stop.

I want the box score, dude. It's up if you can find it. Yeah, it stop. We're playing. I want the box score, dude. It's up if you can find it. Yeah, it is up. OK. It definitely is up. And I can tell you this. Blake gave it everything he had. Why?

I'm just saying, like, you were carrying them yesterday. Oh, you know, I just roll out of bed and hit a three round hard run. Yeah, I saw. No, but we play on all turf fields, so we're not supposed to do sunflower seeds. And you know, the Lucy comes in, that comes in handy out there, but I just thought Big League Chew would have improved, and it just really, really hasn't.

It's disgusting is what it is. It's good for a minute, that's what she said. It's good for a big giant wad. Yeah. And it's good for emulating your heroes and pretending you have chewing tobacco, which's what she said. It's good for a big giant wad. Yeah, yeah if you wanna throw. And it's good for emulating your heroes and pretending you have chewing tobacco. Yeah. Which is the whole point.

After I got done chewing it and half-inning, I just put it in my bottom lip and pretended I had a dip in. Yeah. You know, we talked about this in the news, but McDonald's released Cosmix. It's a standalone just coffee place. Uh-huh.

And I went there Because if you download their app you get a free medium drink on your first purchase Don't say it with that tone. Oh, it's stand on business. Yeah stand on coupon business that's who you are so I got my free medium drink and I thought it would just be the The same stuff they have at the McDonald's, but it's actually, it's really good. It's really good. So if you're a coffee drinker, Cosmix is not bad. That's your big...

I just, yeah, I thought it would just be your basic stuff, but I don't know. Iced churro latte? Their cold brews were good, shake and expresso looks good, and yeah, you can customize all you want. I'm Blake. I'm gonna hold this one thing, but I did want to say I watched the entire USA vs Canada Saturday night.

I watched a little bit of it. That was one of the things that woke me from my I'm gonna lay down and hear it was Oh shit, oh, oh, oh Dude. First nine seconds. Yeah. Yeah, and you know came on and they boo the anthem like that's cute Go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go Well, if they didn't have the booing the anthem and all that tied in, that would have never happened and then you wouldn't have given two F's about the little high-fives. That's another thing to thank Trump for.

I am kind of a sucker for Olympic-type stuff, so I think I would have watched a little bit. I may have not have stayed the whole time without the fights and all that. Hell, we watched the game the night before the other one was like Finland and Sweden or something. Cause it's on. How did they just choose for, uh, you know, I, you're, I think Japan was right there. That was a fun bit back in the day. Uh, whenever I, everybody had like a video game bully for each game on it whatever in my neighborhood I was the NHL bully and

when they implemented international play on the game my bit was like I will I will whip your ass with Japan and really the only thing they did is make all the players small yeah yeah yeah take a roster fast. They're fast though. Yeah. Think of Rodster and Kenny Wu's out there, who I think was Korean. You're allowed to be offside. Oh. It's kind of a mangled metaphor, but I'm going to let it live. You done?

Yeah, we've been going for a while. I got something that I'm going gonna hold for later in the week. See, I thought whenever he was talking about food and his softball, what I thought he was gonna say, because I've noticed this too, we're frozen in time on concession food. Now you'll have, like, the Rangers will do whatever. Here's a pickle that doubles as a cotton candy.

But in general, the chips, cheese, hot dog playbook at every concession stand at every youth association in America, it's frozen. Well. It just stopped. You're right. The 16-year-old back there should probably be making beef Wellington or something.

Yeah, I don't know. Step it up a little bit. They can't do anything else. Get a new chip? Just get a bag of chips and heat up that queso. What else do you want? Mix it up. Get a new chip? Just get a bag of chips and heat up that queso. What else do you want? Mix it up. Get a little lobster.

Little healthy option, yeah. Would you want a salad? How about some oysters? Oysters. Some fresh oysters. You also have to get like a toothbrush and scrub the oysters before you cook them. Really? Yeah.

Like that's part of it. Part of the beating. Like if I got to scrub the food before I eat it. Be careful with those Gulf Coast oysters dude tears. I think I went golf. No, don't do that. I was told go go Atlantic every time. Oh Yeah It is time for some sports Talk here

Oh, yeah, I like that and We can start off with this Own well, they will help you the homeowner save money on property taxes takes just a few minutes You just go to own well comm slash the dumb zone you sign up you give them your address And they'll tell you whether or not they can save you money on your property taxes. 86% of their customers receive a reduction. Blake was in the 86, Dan was in the 14. Yeah, save on average $1,100. So $1,100. It says here 1.1k. Who says that?

Yeah. Takes you three minutes to sign up, or 180 seconds. Could be 0.9K. Could be 1.3K. And what else do they do, Blake? Because you just got an email from them, right? Yeah, they will just periodically check in on your other subscriptions, whether it be

internet or phone bill, what have you. Let's see what we got. Electric, internet, insurance, exemption, mortgage and equity. And they're checking on all that for me. Equity, that sounds like a business word. I like that. They'll check on things that you don't even understand at ownwell.com slash the dumb zone. No reason not to do this right now.

And then just leave it on auto appeal and you'll be set and good to go. ownwell.com slash the dumb zone for sports. Sports, sports. I got an email from a guy. You get any of those on Luca? This is, we'll leave it anonymous. Cuban was forced to sell the team. I have a friend whose mom is a high ranking long time executive with fill in the blank

He asked me to leave the team out He said the culture was worse than we could imagine with the Mav's sexual harassment during the NBA investigation And one of the NBA sanctions that wasn't public but well known within ownership circles was that Cuban was forced to sell My source says all Marx talked about his kids real estate Etc is all BS and it's the result of Cuban turning a blind eye to a guy whipping out his dick and worse. So forced to sell 75% of the team? That's all he had, right? Oh no, he retained 27%. Yeah, that's what I mean.

So forced to sell but not to sell all of so that he could still remain part of the scene. That's exactly right. Doesn't really seem to make a lot of sense. No, it doesn't. But I have wasted a lot of time thinking about the Cuban angle of all this. Just why. Why did he sell?

Or why did they trade? Why did he sell to them? How did he? He had the older son as an intern in 2016, Mataan Adelson. So they've known this family a long time. He knows what they're about. He didn't think to stop. And when he was selling.

He seems to be on the other end of the political spectrum from them. Yeah, that's true. But also rich people. Not the other total other end, yeah. The other end of the rich person political spectrum. But they're still tight. I would imagine that they're on good terms and always have been.

So it's weird to be that he would have sold the team to them and then not fought somewhere in the mix to be like, hey, this guy's good, but he's not really like a GM right now. He's kind of the guy I hired to work for me, so you might want to look at this. He didn't say anything? Or is he not friendly with Patrick Dumont? Well, he may not be like friendly, friendly with him, but he knows the family, right? Like, his brother-in-law, Patrick's brother be friendly with him, but he knows the family.

Like, his brother-in-law, Patrick's brother-in-law, I guess it would be interned for Cuban. They didn't even have a sale. They just gave it to one family, so obviously there's some relationship there. I've read that he could have gotten more for the team. That's what everybody says. But, of course, they are just real cash silly, right? And I've also, you've heard these rumors that Cuban lost a bunch in crypto or whatever.

He needed cash. He needed like liquid money. And that's why he was able, or why he did this, but still retained that 25% or whatever. And then for him to come out and be like, hey, it's not really going the way I thought it would. Right, he's kind of throwing shade at them. Yet he's also still in the arena.

Yelling at fans. Defending their honor. So he's trying to publicly put on that face, but also publicly sit there with Bill Gates and joke about this terrible trade. Very confusing. It was just wild that he said that he still would have basketball control. They were probably like, why'd you say that?

Which I totally believed at the time and was pretty on board with. Yeah, I think we all were. We were talking about, in fact, that's where we talked about I think Joe Lakob, the Golden State owner, that he doesn't own a majority, yet he runs the team. And that I think that's where we got the term control share. That you could actually just own 10%, but you own this share makes you in charge of everything. And I thought that sounded pretty cool.

But apparently, that's not the case, because he was pushed out. Yeah, to get to a point where he was pushed out to where they don't even talk to him about this Seems crazy to me. However, I do believe that he didn't know up until the very end. I don't believe that about kid Yes, I do not believe they consulted cube in a weekend or you know, and he knew about it for weeks Because I think he would have tried his hardest to make this not happen. Like he's kind of, you know. Of course. I'll tell you why. Mentioned it Friday, but

one of the reasons, the Mavs home game against the Pelicans on February 21st, ESPN has announced they're flexing out of that game. Of course they are. They're not airing the map. Do you understand? Patrick Dumont, do you understand what you had? This is one of the reasons ESPN puts you on.

Not because the Mavs are a good team. They're not going to be falling all over themselves to put on a Cavs game. The Cavs are a better team. Yeah. The Mavs have Luca. You were on the NBA map. Remember Christmas Day? Right. That's ironic. You're not gonna be on Christmas Day anymore. No. Unless it's against the Lakers. Yeah. In fact, I'll bet you, I'll bet there's a really good chance it's Mavs versus Lakers next year on Christmas Day. They know what they're doing You want to listen to a little bit of Adam Silver? I got so sad too. Did you see?

All-star weekend Did you see that The most shared ever yeah social media clip was kind of getting around again this weekend It's magical and I just sat and watched it over and over just being sad The Luca falling on the floor flips it behind his back to Kyrie Tosses it up for Derek Jones jr. It's a magical time So I'm looking forward to tonight and then the all-star competition tomorrow night first question question. With that, Maureen, happy to answer any questions. We're going to go on the left, second row, Tim.

Tim Reynolds with the AP. Adam, good to see you again. You too. It's been a couple of weeks since the trade. I'm curious what the trade is. That's all he has to say. Yeah. That's all you have to say.

Yes, that's from now on. The whole NBA, this is the trade. The worst trade, the impossible, the trade that no one ever thought could or would happen because it shouldn't have. And because of that, it will have, what, the next 10 years of the NBA will be defined by this. MVPs and player movement, this is for better or worse, that's why it's

gonna be impossible to get over because everything that happens will be able to be traced back to this. So yes, the trade. I'm curious what the trade, that's what we're capital T, capital T is what we're calling it now. I'm wondering how, one, how you absorbed the initial news of the trade and how you've processed everything that's happened since including the Dallas fans and the fire Nico and all those things happening and There's obviously a lot of anger and how how is this good for the league when a fan base feels very very jilted right now? Gotta say that's a pretty good question So let me begin by saying and I said this already I was surprised when I heard about the trade a fan base feels very, very jilted right now. Gotta say, that's a pretty good question.

So let me begin by saying, and I said this already, I was surprised when I heard about the trade. I did not know that there was, Luka was potentially a player that was about to be traded. That was news to me. I followed it like a fan from that standpoint. And I've said before, that's the kind of confidential information that's generally not shared

with the league in advance unless a team is publicly shopping a player and best to my knowledge that's not what happened in the case of Dallas and Los Angeles. So and in terms of anger at the fan base I'm empathetic, I understand it. I mean Dallas was in the finals last year, and I've also said this before I like Luca very much. I've known him since the day He I actually met him before he came into this league when he was at Real Madrid when we were over there You know playing a preseason game and I can I it seems generally

You know truly authentic that that he was stunned and disappointed you could see it in his body language You know having said all that, I also am sympathetic to the Mavericks organization. Okay, I'm out. Yeah. He gives you about another. I have to say this now, because that's my boss. One of my bosses is.

Patrick Dumont. Is the Mavs owner. He gives about another minute just talking about how, hey, look, this is what they thought was best for their team blah blah blah did you see the thing floating around with the jazz g m

i did the jazz g m's name is justin zanick and he was on always the uh... jazz lakersakers broadcast, the second game I believe. Actually the first two games that Luca played were against the Jazz. One big and then they lost big. Look, I mean obviously Rob Palenka even said it in his press conference introducing Luca that it was a gift. And I think that's how a lot of my colleagues don't want to speak for them, but how we all kind of felt. But Nico and Dallas they do a great job. It's okay. See everybody's got a I don't want to I can't rip him publicly. So yeah, hey, they're good

They obviously had their reasons and wanting to improve the defense and obviously getting the top 15 player reasons and wanting to improve the defense and obviously getting the top 15 player in their own right there. And, you know, they decide that was... And that's debatable, right? Is he a top 15 player? Yeah, it depends on what the criteria are. ...in their best interest. As I said before, with the new apron rules... You certainly wouldn't say, okay, do this for me. Start listing off players a draft right now, today. Players of whatever age they are that you would draft and build a team around. Yeah, he's not in the top 15.

And that's why I thought it was funny that one of the bullet points for Anthony Davis when they traded for him was he was an NBA top 75 player. Yeah. Well, like, yeah, I don't want Charles Barkley either. Yeah. Guys who write about history acknowledge this guy's pretty good. But if you draft today to build around at their current age, he's. I could probably get to. Wemby. Oh, yeah. No, Lucas.

You're not drafting Giannis ahead of him. You might not... Probably wouldn't take Jokic. How much older is Jokic than him? Yeah, I mean, there's... I'd put like Shay and Ant possibly above them at this point. But below Luca. Below Luca. Yeah, Wemby's one and then probably Luca. Yeah, and Anthony Davis would probably be around 25 or 30.

Maybe. then probably yeah and Anthony Davis would probably be around 25 or 30 maybe I said they wanted they wanted Anthony Davis man like all the conspiracy stuff I think that's all settled down our bikes this couple times they just really wanted Anthony Davis yeah and that's obviously never goes relationship with him but I don't give it and they were never gonna offer Luca the, like a contract, it doesn't sound like anyways. Well, that might be where it all stems from. And I think Anthony Davis is probably already out, by the way, right?

They're trying to tell you like, oh, it's a little bit better, we don't have any bad news, so let's interpret that as optimism. Right, he could be out the rest of the season. They're just gonna reevaluate him in two weeks, and then they're going to say, probably best to shut him down. You didn't want to announce that during All-Star weekend where all the media was in the same

place. Yeah. Solid. But yeah, you're going to hear, if that's true, you will hear a setback. You'll hear the rehab's going great, and then, oh, there was a setback. They're big on setbacks. And, you know what? Just dumb luck.

I mean, who could have seen it? It's bad when the assistant coach news from the weekend is seen as, well, it's not as bad as this other stuff. Yeah, we could talk to Darrell Armstrong now or in the news. Whatever. Well, I just, it's even me, I had to stop and edit myself, because he apparently did pistol whip a woman. So Darryl Armstrong was arrested Saturday night.

And so for me to be like, when will it stop? It felt a little insensitive. Like, oh, man, they traded Luca in. This lady got beat up. They're launching an independent investigation. When will, oh yeah. Darrell's team is, so. That's very important.

As I said before, with the new apron rules, they're apron one and apron two. A lot of these bigger deals that you saw of primary guys moving, they needed a third and fourth team. Not every one of them. Yeah, they called up the jazz to add the majority of them and we were involved in two of them so where we were with having some extra space and Ryan giving us great resources to use that stuff to continue to pick up the apron thing too

We've talked about like the jazz We were able to execute Anthony Davis is gonna cost just as much as Luca in a couple years it means yeah, they kind of reshaped the Western Conference and Just as much as Luca in a couple years, isn't it? Yeah, they kind of reshaped the Western Conference and When we are it's not with those guys here. It's not that they didn't want to pay 340 million dollars to a player over five years. It's that they didn't want to pay Luca. Yeah that money I don't think they're gonna be like a cheap team necessarily, I Mean they they signed Kyrie re-signed Kyrie under Dumont. It was a pretty big deal for Kyrie Irving at the time.

Well, he's about to get a bigger one from somebody. Yeah, he just walks. That was really a once-in-a-twenty-year trade, was it not? Yeah, it may have been more. I've even been racking my brain to figure out the last time somebody this big outside of free agency being traded at that age that's 25 years old and you're talking about a global superstar this is not just you know one of the the best players in the NBA you're talking about a guy with global reach we know hey do you get that champ photo we can close out sports with that well I don't want to close it out because I have a little more on the Lakers but go ahead. No I was just watching a Mavs game I guess it was I guess

it must have been the most recent one but Thursday night yeah yeah and I saw this in a break of course I'm watching very intently for every when they when they go to commercial, what's League Pass gonna do? Well, we're not gonna see the crowd, we know that. But we did have this. I wanted you guys to see an image of, this is Champ. He's the horse that is a Mavs mascot, except in this case for Valentine's Day, he's wearing what appears to be like a pink tutu,

and he has like a pink thing on his head too. Is this Trans Champ? Is Champ a guy? I don't know. That's the thing is that you would, I guess I thought that Champ was a male, but now we can just, hey, it's Valentine's Day, put a skirt on him. I thought that's illegal in Texas. That's what I'm saying.

No, I mean, the Rangers definitely. That's a drag show. There's children there. That's that's what I'm saying. I mean the Rangers Basically a drag show it's exactly by the letter of the law This guy's performing in to follow him and see where he goes to the bathroom. That's right Yeah, they had some balance halftime show real quick. They had the balance lady on the balance ball Yeah, and she's not like great shape kind of looked like she was gonna fall back and hit her head on the court a couple times And then she gets off the ball and

Trans champ Gets on the ball and kind of did the bit It was like okay proving anyway actually It's a rubber boy, but it was good This is the this is a holdover from the scent era, where you could do this sort of thing. Have a trans horse as your mascot for Valentine's. That's my mask coverage. My one other thing was just, I did...

Looking at the future contracts and who's going to opt in and maybe who's big free agent pickups for our Lakers? No, I did order my Luke at Jersey Tea. Oh yeah. And like the NBA store, I got it on eBay. The NBA store is like, yeah, you'll get it March 25th. I know. Whoa, what's going on here? I'm scrambling. I know Raymond is selling them over on our merch site, e6 sportswear or dumbzonemerch.com?

Dumbzonemerch.com. I don't remember what it is. He's selling a version of his own. And I thought about that. That's a good deed. But for me, I look like the hard luck franchise that they are and thought my money needs to go directly to the Los Angeles Lakers so I made sure I went yeah so that they can build around them I know yeah and then

of course the NBA All-Star game was yesterday did you watch any of that apparently like it was a little mini tournament of games. Yeah that that four teams Shaxe oh geez Shack was the coach of one of the teams and there's called Shaxe oh geez So I guess the older players were on that team is they had a big draft For three of the three of the teams extra Charles Kenny and Shaq got a team Anthony Davis was a third-round pick of the three of the teams extra Charles Kenny and Shaq got a team Anthony Davis was a third round pick and The in the full NBA fantasy draft, I guess that pretty much checked He went the top nine and then he got hurt and couldn't play. I think Kyrie replaced him

Had LeBron play he know Jack. He did not play he's hey Why why didn't he? Announce this earlier so someone else could play that you guys are telling me he showed up at the all-star game why didn't he announce this earlier so someone else could play then? You guys are telling me he showed up at the All-Star game and didn't play? Did he just make an announcement? Like, how did he? He earned his spot to be there. That's right.

Okay. And then he decided at the last moment, he decided, you know what? It'd be better for Luca's future if I just didn't play today. Oh, okay. It was a benevolent act from our Lord and Savior. You want some other spare from the West to get in? So you're the guy that's upset that Garth Brooks is at spring training because there's not some guy getting his shot?

Why is Russell Wilson taking balls at second? Justin Foskey should be getting some. Steph Curry got somebody's invitational card for a FedEx event or something. That was Romo's card. What are you doing? That just didn't see the team picture. OK. Let's be honest.

Hilarious. It's an absolutely hilarious LeBron move. Anthony Edwards also, same thing happened. He didn't end up playing. OK. LeBron is at a pregame press conference talking about all, and you know, hey, what do we expect from you tonight? Oh I'm not gonna play What do you think you're not gonna play?

You're LeBron Do you see the tea? Yeah. Hey, guess what? I'm gonna do it Can you imagine Jordan doing this? No, of course you can't know what the team photo is amazing. No all in their jersey Is he wearing a guy re-ing? Dumb blue jersey on and LeBron's in his street clothes and they take the team photo It's like, you know what? He could have gone back and just thrown the jersey on real quick You know what you need to prepare for is the time that he announces before a season that this is my last season. Oh! Because there's absolutely no

way he does the Tim Duncan. No, he'll, he'll, it'll get out and then he'll have no idea how it got out. Like Dirk announced it later in the season, like real late, just so. Because, but everyone knew. everybody kind of knew but you know you didn't do it throughout the whole year like this is old school when I was a little kid Kareem announced his thing and then every city he would go to would award Kareem something didn't the Rangers give him like a gun well the Rangers the Mavs who am I thinking of I'm conflating the Cal Ripken story. Yeah, they had his locker for him. I think Dr. J might have done this as well.

I swear the Mavericks got somebody like a motorcycle or something. Dwayne Wade's retirement tour was ridiculous. I don't remember that. It was at the end of every game for 30 minutes standing on the court waiting on everyone to tell him how great he is. Well, you're about to see that times a million. Whenever LeBron does decide. Unless he gets a career ending injury in a game.

But again. Every time he gets injured, he acts like that. When it happens, he will have been shocked that it came out. And towards the end of the season, you'll start seeing trailers for the documentary dropping that fall on his full last season But he didn't know anything about it. He just thought these guys were hanging out Like at all times they will document every moment

Oh my god, great man Does it bum me out just a little bit that if they win the title next year or this year that it'll be LeBron's title not Lucas Spin zone LeBron needed Luca to get another one. That's not what people will say. That's what I'll say. And then Luca will have two on his own, so no harm, no foul. I don't think they're going to get one because Luca's too fat.

Yeah, that might be. Of course, the spin zone will say he got with LeBron, then he started taking things more seriously Oh really they got a coach that could talk to him I wonder Mack McClung pretty impressive stuff the dunks look so he's just a G League player yeah he's bounced around. Has he actually played at NBA Minute? I think they call him up to a roster a week before they all

start playing every year. He's won three straight dunk contests. He has. He has. He was a very fun player in college. Yeah, tech. Yeah. It's good teams.

And then Wemby and Chris Paul was the other thing from the skills competition Saturday night. Which, I'm really happy that happened, because it made me actually watch some of the skills competition. That's Which, I'm really happy that happened, because it made me actually watch some of the skills competition. That's the only reason I would have seen that. Did you see it, Blake? I saw four seconds of it and saw what they did

and thought that was childish. OK, well, no. They read the rules and made me happy. You had to either make a shot. You had to shoot three shots or make one and so they're like well time wise and so immediately I thought what Matt Brunig thought was that of course Chris Paul came up with this idea because he's the guy that reads the rules and apparently it was Wemby. I love it. All reports are that Wemby came up to

Chris Paul and said hey he's just looking at how you do this and... Somebody has to carry the mantle of being a damn cop during the NBA games for the next 15 years. Yeah. Like Chris Paul has. Mac McClong, yeah, like I said man, it feels like every sporting event that passes or every cultural event. It's like boy. The whites are really Coming back really I mean I'm looking at Cooper de Jean celebrating his Super Bowl over the weekend White guys are winning the dunk contest dunk contest DB's You know Unstoppable seeing Paul skeins lately soon as we get that halftime show back. We're back, boys.

Midlife. But I went downstairs to go TT and your wife was going list by list, or like bullet point list of what every single charge was on this bill It's incredible like on the phone. Yeah on cuz you know customer support, and what is this charge right here? Okay, it must have been it must be an insurance thing. I'm saying that's great. She yeah Well, she doesn't handle anything except for medical Which is kind of like

its own thing on itself. Like she's just always having to follow up on, did I pay this bill three months ago? Now I'm getting this bill again? Yeah. That's a big deal in the fertility game. Yeah? Yeah. But I mean, it just seems like this is a bad system. Yeah. Just because she does spend a ton of time on that, like every weekend is just. It's crazy. I mean, it's so crazy. Then you gotta get on the phone.

And it's just part of life. And you accept it. And then every once in a while, a guy gets a crazy idea, falls a guy in Midtown Manhattan, and you're like hmm. What's that all about? All right, let's talk SNL man. That's why KT Kevin Turner is here because he stoked on SNL We did the SNL draft as you recall. I was I'm in his SNL lead had that all turn out great There's a big payoff. We had it turn out. We're still going we talking about Yeah, hey who won your SNL bracket the other day um

Will Farrell ah Yes, yes, not much of a sleeper. You know everything doesn't have to be a bracket. No trust me. I know oh, okay Yeah, but you make everything into a bracket do I what seed he? I don't fuck I haven't done a bracket in years. Okay. Yeah. Well, I feel like you feel like you Now they meet his mic back in You have to plug it back in. No, I see I get lumped into so much stuff, right? Yeah Oh, that's not you. There's a lot of negative perceptions about me. They're really not fair. Was Will Ferrell the one seed? He was he was one of the one seeds. Okay. Eddie Murphy was another one seed.

Took the chop. Dan though on the board in the SNL fantasy draft with his Gracie Abrams pick. His? Yeah, you know, yeah, yeah, absolutely his. He loves Gracie Abrams and her music. Hell yeah. Who is this? Can't wait.

TC not on the board and he's in danger of being relegated. You've got relegation in this. Oh yeah, if you're last place you're out Yeah, because there's there's so many people who are dying to get in the league. I've been waiting forever. Honestly Yeah, I think you guys should get in next year. Yeah, save me a spot with me See if you can stave off TC anyway Overall my view long like you said. But overall enjoyable. Yeah.

It's just member berries, right? It's seeing a lot of the stars and like, I will say this, man. It was very impressive who was in the crowd. So impressive. And that hit for me on Friday night, because we watched most of the music thing, thing too. Yeah the concert was dope. And that was it hit me like I've never seen this many famous people in one place in my life like even or even

the Oscars because at the Oscars if you look around every other table is full of people you don't recognize you know there'd be a table with this yeah then those are these dorks. But at the SNL concert and in the crowd last night, it was basically every person. You're like, in the beginning, even before they cut to him, just paused it, scanned the crowd in the open. I'm like, that's Peyton Manning. Why is Peyton Manning sitting behind Kevin Costner and next to Larry David?

It's very weird. The seating chart, I definitely want to see the blueprint of that. I even watched the red carpet show. I recorded it. It's a give up. John Mulaney said something that I thought was really good. He said, I've been on a lot of red carpets, but this one is actually like everyone's talented. Because we are at a point where a lot of people are just famous for being famous.

We don't know why. We live in a Mr. Beast and Drew Ski world. And no, I don't know what Drew Ski does, but I see him everywhere. He plays basketball. So it is like, these are actually people who have all accomplished a lot of things. And it is weird that there's some of it Like I don't know that Costner has a lot of direct ties to SNL So I just think it's weird that he's chosen to be there But you know, it's a is a lot it was packed in there last night. That was a lot of fun

I was reading about how the SNL The party the after party was like an exclusive event. It was 300 people was a limit or something like that Did you know about that? I didn't like it's just the hardest party to get into even people who were on the show might Not get in or some You're talking about the usual one or last night's last night. Okay. Yeah, like maybe Piscopo doesn't get into the after party on that last night after party on that last night. It did not open with bit, it opened with song. Really weird decision. I thought that was a little bit weird. Paul Simon though is like well-known Lauren guy. Lauren's friend yeah. Was you know big part of the 70s I guess shows. Didn't like didn't like this version of it.

Who was he with? Sabrina Carpenter, Sabrina Carpenter. I prefer the version by Justin Theroux and the leftovers. OK, you do leftovers. Yeah. OK. Remember when he was singing that karaoke? Yeah. Yeah. It is weird that the SNL 50 first joke is from Sabrina Carpenter. Yeah, I didn't understand. I thought I had like that it was a holdover from the red carpet thing or something like

why are they there's no cold open. It's not Sabrina Carpenter has been famous for like a year. So I watched SNL 40 yesterday morning just to rehash my memory and they open with a big Justin Timberlake Jimmy Fallon high-energy Yeah, so it's kind of hitting the downer thing with this. Yeah, I thought they might do bit I was thinking so I was trying to predict it in my head They would do all the surviving cast members Dan Ackroyd Chevy Chase Jane Curtin Garrett Morris Lorraine Newman They would put them in a bit together.

And I wonder if they thought about that, but then as you see them all throughout the show... Oh, wait. I'm trying to think of where, uh, was Chevy anywhere? He was there, but yeah. Not really in a skit, right? No. Because I don't think you can do anything with him anymore. Yeah must be the reason because obviously he was in a TV show Fairly recently five is that a decade now? By the time they'd getting yeah ten plus years Garrett Morris at the end Was just sitting in a chair, so I'm thinking there's some mobility issues with Garrett Morris and They're like 80 so

Maybe they're they just weren't able to do a bit with those five. Lorraine Newman did a thing where she walked around that was fun. Yeah that was cool. Ackroyd wasn't there. Why? Apparently and I don't know. Okay maybe there's health issues. You know he got to do his thing at the 40th with Basim, and it was not that great. So the other one, Bill Hader was also not there, but he also had to evacuate his home two weeks ago in California. Oh, wow. So he said he politely declined the invitation.

Bill Hader wasn't there? Yeah. Now that you say that, that does stand out. They had what? Was he in a pre-recorded bit They did a commercial there was a commercial forget what the client was those the Californians Yeah, okay. Yeah, I'm trying to well, so the Jason Sudeikis bit with with with

Kate McKinnon, maybe Which there was I thought there was a crowd bit with Jason Sudeikis. Maybe it was Will Forte. I think it was Will Forte. I confuse all three of those guys to be honest with you in your computers now. Yeah, sorry. Will Forte and Jason Sudeikis were part of the

John Mulaney New York musical. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which Mulaney's done that bit at least the last time he was on, maybe more. Very long musical about New York City. Kind of beat it's not just the show was really long the sketches were really long the sketches were too long no there's no doubt even the songs yeah the Sandler song which is great we could play some of it if you want but it was five and a half minutes the McCartney song at the end was five and a half

minutes five and a half I skipped I and a half minutes, I skipped. I didn't understand, like, well, I think Miley and Brittany Howard are great. They got a song at the concert Friday night. Yeah. I didn't know why you had to do that. I didn't really understand the Lil Wayne thing either. Well, I can tell you this about Lil Wayne. To anybody who is still bitching and moaning

that they went with Kendrick Lamar instead of a Louisiana artist like Lil Wayne, I think you saw why. He's awful at this point. Yeah. Like, the guy's enough drugs, enough living, you put him up there, it's a joke. He was embarrassing. The 40th, and I only know this because I watched it yesterday morning, the 40th felt more like looking back

at the history of the show. Or last night felt like looking back at the last of the show or last night felt like looking back at the last ten years of the show well I mean they worked in yeah I guess it wasn't looking back at the history as much as it was let's work in some of the guys like they Eddie Murphy was in a couple bits yeah not enough Eddie Murphy for me well he's awesome. He is awesome It's Tracy Morgan Tracy Morgan Impression is nails. I didn't know I'm Jeopardy imitated Tracy Morgan on black Jeopardy, but he was in another bit too

He was in the scared straight bit. Yeah. Yeah Kenan and Will Ferrell. I would have I would have liked to see a Mr. Robinson's neighborhood, like at his age now, or something like that. I don't know. Yeah. Steve Martin opening, obvious choice, I guess. Especially when you put it against another multi-time host, you put Alec Baldwin later.

And he seems like he's older than Steve Martin, yet he's got to be 20 years younger, right? Murder charge will allay you. But he seems like he's older than Steve Martin yet. He's got to be 20 years younger, right murder charge will Seems a little rough. Yeah. No, and I thought by contrast Like I out loud when Steve Martin was wrapping up. I'm like, he's got it. He's 79. Yeah 66 very much on top of his stuff Okay. Yeah, no, he Baldwin seems like he's falling apart and Steve Martin is as good as ever It feels like again Steve Martin was the monologue host for the 40th, too So I thought they would do maybe Eddie Murphy or some someone different. I'm Al Baldwin, whatever

So I thought that was a little strange, but that's an easy move because Steve Martin's good I did like John Mulaney coming out and having the joke that the hosts are the heart of the show, it's the most difficult people, but that only two of the 894 hosts of the show have murdered someone. That's very good. Which I was like, hold on. Who is it? Robert Blake?

Robert Blake and O.J. And I got to think here, I think it's more because now it's technically not murder, but Matthew Broderick absolutely killed someone and no one really talks about it car accident a car accident and that didn't not did Bruce Jenner or Caitlyn Jenner ever host guys let me sir Bruce Jenner has to have it feels like yeah because you know that person died in that car accident I think why Why did it take you four times to spell Bruce? I think I. Why'd you just blow up his spot?

You just had to retype Bruce? No, because I spelled it as Caitlin first. Literally, no one would have known. Well, it was funny to me. Yeah, I do think Caitlin Jenner killed someone. There you go. You got it. Look at it.

Look at all the, yeah. I don't know. But two of 894? That's not I mean unless you were count like indirect ones like presidents Wipe out like my entire in your life. You've met eight hundred and ninety four people. How many of them have killed somebody? A gummy thought I got a few Here's you a couple too, but military counts. Oh

Okay. Oh cool. Oh you guys don't is that murdering? No, if it's a if you're doing oh, he's from America is that around on me. It's great Like it's not a crime if you're doing it for either protecting these borders my friend a lot of Amy Poehler Too much Amy Poehler is what we like to say over here. In fact, really, really a sad situation that you like, look, I'm sorry, Tina, that like, why do I need to have Amy Poehler every time I'm seeing Tina Fey? Now I know how Tina Fey holds it on her own.

I don't know that she does. That was a good joke. And you guys are just going to act like I didn't just, Ben would have appreciated that. Anyways, yes, it's a beating. Too much Amy Poehler for sure. I think I might be okay with Tina Fey, maybe, but I'll never know because there's so much Amy Poehler mixed in. You just want to make fun of me.

Yeah, there's just too much Amy Poehler, yes. Just take a look at their two shows against each other and you'll see. One's brilliant and one's just... Man, I hard disagree, and I think my opinion of Amy Poehler got worse after the documentary Because the documentary day and episode one and it is worth your time the first episode is just about auditions And I totally get this Like I'm forced to listen to audio of when I was an intern every now and then. Nobody wants to do it. But she was so, she couldn't watch it. She started crying. And I'm like,

you pussy. Yeah. What's the point of the show? It was a good opening bit, Will Ferrell I thought, the Robert Goulet bit. Didn't say the N-word. I know, that's what I was thinking the whole time. I was surprised they did Robert Goulet just because of what happened. Yeah, that's the infamous... Big Papa. Speaking of not saying the N-word. Yeah. We were all on the edge of our seats, I think.

So did you see the In Memoriam? I thought that was a brilliant bit. Beautiful. So the In Memoriam was In Memoriam of comedy we can't do anymore whether it's racial stereotypes or sexual assault sexual assault me too stuff yeah body sham pedophilia yeah at least in can't see boy yeah so that was really funny but then they're leading up and they they the very end is Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor going back and forth and there's you know one of the all-time

legendary bits where they're calling each other names back and forth and and it ends with Chevy Chase calling him an N and then you know that's when Richard Pryor had already called him a honky, then he said dead honky, and that's the punchline. And they did beep it out. They did it. They beeped it out. And for a very meta experience, all of America, what they were feeling last night, that's what I was feeling just now. Does he's gonna do it? He might do it. Is he gonna say it?

Is he gonna say it? No. You know what I thought was funny on the end memoriam is there was a lot of faces blurred out, which I assume just means they were doing blackface. Yeah, it was. Yeah. Oh, really?

I don't think there's any. Yeah, that's what that was. There's no people they have to blur out. You guys notice that? There's like towards the end of it, there's a whole bunch of scenes where just the faces are pixelated. And it's kind of dark.

And there's a bunch of, they went with the blackface routine a lot it seems like too yeah there was it was not a quick hit who Jimmy found as Chris oh yeah that he got like 20 years ago he got heat for that during like George Floyd so did Kim Kimmel yeah yeah Seth and Colbert like really never. Every now and again, the Kimmel thing comes back, the Howard Stern things come back. Yeah. A lot of stuff for Kimmel, like Man Show bits.

Oh, yeah. Somehow, though, he's managed to kind of ride that out, just kind of ignore it. Yeah. Kimmel didn't have to diddle that kid in blackface, though. Yeah. Could have just stopped it. Yeah, it didn't have to be a that kid in blackface though. Could have just stopped it. Yeah, it didn't have to be a combo flatter.

So speaking of method acting, I guess. Too much Amy Poehler. You just mentioned someone else. There was too much of Jimmy Fallon. There's always too much Jimmy Fallon. Always too much Jimmy Fallon. His bit is this is so funny I'm breaking Like his he's always on the brink of laughing and then does kind of like so it's the overselling of how funny This is it's not really that funny

That's what I think his main bit is did you okay to the homecoming concert Friday night Did you catch that Dan because there's a part at the end where they have a quick set change? They got to get someone off the stage. they're getting Jack White's music set up, his equipment set up. And Jimmy Fallon has to kill about two or three minutes and he was fully exposed because he's just like, Jack White setting up. Oh my God, it's got to be so great. Oh my God. He didn't know what to do. He had nothing. Dude, you got a room full of people. Start going to them or just play to them. Just like treat it like a red carpet.

They say, how's it going tonight? Put them on the spot or have something. And he was killing time. He was completely exposed as he was just trying to stretch so they could get Jack White's guitar amp plugged in. Yeah, he's the worst. He's just so fake you know if he like he's a talented dude just just be that but he's always got to be you

know triple fake I did like when Alec Baldwin intro'd the commercial parodies yeah I don't like seeing quick hit commercial parodies that's a tough one just a quick hit I know it feels like making a montage for the show too you're like but the bits kind of like the payoffs later how do I edit this yeah but I did like you know the member berries of you know I had to remember then in my head the whole payoff in the bit after update but I did like that he introed it and it was brought to you by after update which, which is just where you... What was that?

This is a sleep medication. A sleep medication. Any spot, things that are on After Update. And third year veneers. Because that's our bit. Is that we want veneers. At least I do and Jake does. I'm not sure if Blake's in that camp yet.

I'll keep my teeth. Year three of the dumb zone, you'll be able to afford them. You get to keep your teeth, I think they just put a little something on top of them. Yeah, they grind your teeth down. I've been doing a lot of research. I'm okay. Yeah, so let us hear from you if you want to hook us up with veneers. In the third year. Yeah. Next year. Yeah, that could be the year of Jake.

If we can get you veneers. You guys think what if we get you veneers now? Can the year of Jake have started on Feb 15th? If you get veneers like this month Because that'd be great. That's a life change We're all like dude, they're too big. I just feel like I just I appreciate what you're doing Why'd you do this? But I just feel like it's not possible It's not possible to to to pull this year out of the kids. You can't do it They've had a little Botox we have ten and a half months ahead of us

You're saying in that time Cowboy Super Bowl, but then we won't know that's the next year. So no no I'm fucked There's no coming out of the Rangers are gonna be back this year, dude No, no I'm fucked. There's no coming out of this. Dude, the Rangers are gonna be back this year, dude. Can I play a quick piece of audio? Yeah. Blake, speaking of, oh I am so sorry. What?

Big sigh. I'm old and I gotta make noises when I get up. Sorry, you're unmuted. So now we know where Dan gets his inspiration from. This is one of the sketches that Kate McKinnon was in. Oh, you pulled me up. And after all of that... What happened? You didn't even put your source right.

It's on there. It's going to be Kate McKinnon. And I'm tossed into the bottom of the ship. I see my old pals, the gray aliens with the big dumb eyes. Mrs. Rafferty, I'm told this is your fifth time being abducted by these gray aliens? Yeah. Only other place I've been pantsless five times is Six Flags. OK, well, let's move.

Hm. That one went on really long. Two similarities there, two comedic geniuses, Dan and Kate McKinnon. What do you mean? Kate McKinnon's great. Everyone's fighting that, really? I don't know.

She's a woman. No. That's the whole rule, though. That show, if you're not writing sketches for the women, then you're not going to make it. Yeah. Ask Jay Moore. Is that what happened to him?

I didn't. I'm just reading that because Dan told me to read that book. It's great. You didn't like the book? No, I love it. I love it. I'm still like, I put it down. No, the J. Moore book.

He has one just about his one year at SNL. Oh, yeah. It's wonderful. Interesting. No, I mean, I think Kristen Wiig is probably my favorite of that ilk, which I kind of group all them together from that era. I agree.

She's the best. But I was a huge Molly Shannon and Sherry O'Tary fan. OK, Molly Shannon had a good night. She's the best. But like I was a huge Molly Shannon and Sherry O'Terry fan. Okay, Molly Shannon had a good night. She did. Yeah. I don't know, I mean I don't know if y'all watched a lot of the season. Are y'all familiar with the Domingo bit that was going on? The fill us in. So it's like they've done this twice this season So I was very surprised that it made last night's episode and it's Chloe Feynman and Andrew Dismukes are married But in the first episode of their second episode of this season She hooked up with Marcelo Hernandez the little short guy Domingo and they do a little sing-song thing

Goes huge on tick-tock or whatever Blows up they bring it back like three or four weeks later And then they brought it back last night for the third incarnation of this bit They've already done this season just because it had legs online But Molly Shane Shannon was like grinding on Bad Bunny and oh, yeah She's basically playing her role from Talladega nights or yes, you know drunk and getting vibrated under the NASCAR wall She's very good. She was funny. She's very good at that. Yeah speaking of Bad Bunny Hey his albums good, dude. The Bad Bunny make a real album

Yeah, it's good. Well cuz he played Friday night at the SNL the concert and we were talking about it Everybody's all messed up. We're like, it's not Bad Bunny's music. It's a cover He put out like a real Latin album, and it's good. Yeah. And I guess he was in a couple sketches last night. They love Bad Bunny, yeah. People love him. People love him.

I saw Molly Shannon every evening, my wife watches that day's Today Show. So she was on the Today Show like Friday or last Thursday because they were doing lead ups to this. Or maybe it was Willie Geist on Sunday. I can't recall. She really guys everywhere. She loves Willie Geist.

She loves Willie Geist, folks. Wasn't he hosting the red carpet last night? Oh, yeah. Yeah. So but it was a really corny. It was really cheesy. And it was just Molly Shannon talking about her time and they were just going over some of the sketches And I thought it was one of the greatest things I've ever seen like it was really dopey and cool And whatever like but it was just I don't know it seemed great. She's talking about the memories that yeah, I love Molly Shannon

They had some deep thoughts by Jack Handy And then, if you even call this a controversy, it's mostly just an online thing, but Tom Hanks pulled out his mega hat character that I think he did it in 2020. Yeah, on Black Jeopardy. Yeah. Doug. And so like, yes, online there's a little bit little bit of what you're just not supposed to backlash on that You know those people exist or? You can't make fun of it Well, can you make fun of a huge forehead and small hands?

Like physical deformities you can make fun of that. Yeah, what is this? What is the ableist to draw the line? Yeah, right Because they don't like cancel culture Yeah, we're not going to watch you anymore and we're going to boycott you Yeah, there was a couple strained moments like that. Like Mike Myers was in a scene and He I think it might have been for coffee talk coffee talk Linda Richmond and he you know gave in gave an opinion of like dog. Linda Richmond. And he, you know, gave an opinion of like, can I just say something? The Progressive Era was neither progressive nor an era. I said it. It's like, we fucking get it, Mike Myers. We get it. You think this whole, like, I just, I don't know. I know

that it happens, but crotchety old comedian who's mad about the way comedy is now, it just doesn't work for him. Well, there's a lot of people in the audience last night who were feeling that probably because that was, there was not a lot of olds getting time last night. And there was in the 40th, although there was way fewer sketches in the 40th. The 40th was maybe four or five sketches. Last night there was like 10. But it was more retrospective?

It was more packaged, yeah, pre-packaged stuff. Like I liked it, and I liked it a little different. They did like a physical comedy thing. It was like two minutes and it was short. I thought the digital thing was good with Andy Samberg and just clowning around everyone for having, I mean it's very inside. And it's like they were all doing the show

for themselves a little bit. A lot of the jokes were like that. A lot of writer jokes, a lot of jokes about... Or how Lorne acts or this and that. Yeah, or about the nurse or the, you know, their version of like Bill Geiger or something. I thought a lot of Adam Sandler's song was that too. Yeah it was. But I did like it a lot. I mean he was mentioning like directors and you know people behind the scenes at the end of it. Yeah. It was all about 50 years of this and that. Four of Kazarevsky and Klingon, 11 of Armisen, 14 years of Davis and Handy, this part made me a little sad. and Davey Wilson plus Amon and Disco and Bobby Batarra.

30 years of Down Here, 45 years of Lorne, six years of our boy Farley, five of our buddy Norm. Ah. That's tough. Tough. That is tough. I have said he's got that in his car

He could make everyone cry a little Farley and a normal song. Yeah, so we gotta do introduced by Jack Nicholson Which I believe was only done so that we could prove he's alive. Yeah, he's still there He looks where he also got to do an introduction in the 40th to I swear he's put on a hundred pounds Yeah, cuz there's people that have thought he's dead Well over the last like he might be dementia up or something. Yes. He seemed to have a handler Oh, he had a handle a young nice-looking handler No way if you're like 90 You want to have a 29 year old woman with you at all times? Yeah, right But I even even with handler I wasn't certain he was able to like directing him for sure

This is what you say this is the time you say it now Damn 87 I thought Weekend update I was glad that they let Colin and Michael do it because they've been doing it for over 10 years now Because I thought they might just run Tina and Amy in there or something why not let CQ take a run at it Well, Colin's fine. I mean Colin Quinn's fine, but I don't think he, you think of him, but the bit Bill Murray. Underrated. I think so too. Colin, absolutely. He was good, but he followed norm. Do you, I remember his first, his first, uh,

his first opening to update after norm and I was so ready to hate him. Yeah. What was it? He just gave the bit of like, hey, I'm not Norm. I get it. He's like, he had a bartender reference of like, it's the same drink. I'm going to make it a little different. Hopefully you like it.

New York accent. But I remember watching it, him coming on and being like, you're not the fuck. No, I was mad. I didn't like him at all for years. He never had a chance. And Drew Carey's not a bad host of The Price is Right. He just followed Bob Barker.

So it's like, you fucking suck, guy. And it's just not his problem. Well, it is his problem. I was glad they did it, though. There's maybe five people on the planet who could get away with what Bill Murray did. It's like, here, for five minutes, I'm going to do the ranking thing,

and I'm just going to make all the jokes. I love doing the bit with... I mean, I pulled it over, we don't have to worry about plugging it in. I thought it was really good. It's a lot. Kicking Colin Jost in the nuts, and Colin Jost takes it all the time, is beautiful. And then very quickly, he's like, I wish we had time to say something about Kevin Nealon and Seth Meyers.

And Colin's like, well, we do have time. He goes, no, we're at six, Colin. Just moving through it. And he goes up the list and you know, it's funny that he mentioned Chevy Chase who, you know, they famously hate each other. And he says, and we wouldn't be able to do it without him. And that's why he's fourth. It's just perfect. Bill Murray's still got it.

Him and Steve Martin to me were the hey they can still do it even his first joke about He listed the top African American. Yeah host it was Michael. Yeah, he's like now the normal ones He's like wait what I'm glad they let them do it too. Those guys have grown on me. Oh Dude, dude, I think they're very good and they work really dark, you know, which is fun. I think what you say, Norm McDonald was number two on his weekend update rankings. The one guy who made me think, OJ might have actually done it. Yeah. Perfect. Very good. Just perfect. But then, you know, I don't really need Drunk Uncle again. So, you know, like I don't really need

drunk uncle again. So, you know, it's just a lot. It's a lot of stuff. I didn't mind drunk uncle. I'm a drunk uncle guy. Yeah. He just did it so much. Yeah.

Doesn't have much else in the bag. Yeah, it's about all he's got. We got a little Debbie Downer. I enjoyed Debbie Downer. Yeah, that's not too much Jimmy, but yes. Yeah. Again, any Jimmy is a little too much. They clearly didn't want to do things

that they did at the 40th, because there were no repeats. Like, you know, people, where's Wayne's World? You know, things like that. They did that 10 years ago. They weren't going to do that again. I also thought they would have something for the Beavis and Butthead thing, because the Beavis and Butthead sketch is automatic.

They've done more than one? Legend, no, just one. Gosling and Mikey Gay. And Gosling wasn't there, and Butthead sketch is automatic. They've done more than one? No, just one. Gosseling and Mike Hager. And Gosseling wasn't there, and that's probably why they didn't do it. But very quick, legendary status of a sketch and nothing, because Gosseling wasn't there.

There's definitely one thing I'd like from the last 10 years for us to just kind of act like it didn't exist, and that's Lin-Manuel Miranda. Can we? Boy, he'll get forced into something. Can we? Yeah. Wipe that one clean, do the men in black click deal

and just act like we didn't do Hamilton? It was such a cultural thing, that's why they brought that in, right? I know. But yeah, no. I just don't need it. I think it was a dark time for us as a country. I thought it was cool to see Larry David in the crowd,

only in the sense that the legendary Larry David story is that he quit SNL. That's where the Seinfeld storyline comes from George quitting his job at the Yankees and then going back to work on Monday. Because Larry David, I guess, did that after a show. And Mother F'd everybody there and told Lor Lauren off and said he's out and quit and then he went back to work on Monday Beautiful and just showed up. Well speaking of that too There was a great gag was that Lovitz had to he couldn't he had to be at the American Girl Dolls store

Yeah For so Elaine could have her service dog, but the service dog's blind. But on Arrested Development, remember she plays a blind person with a service dog? So I thought that was like a little bit of a nod to Arrested Development. Maybe, I don't know, maybe not. She still looks great. She does. The joke about the writers.

Yeah, that was good. How we couldn't do anything without them She does. The joke about the writers. Yeah, that was good. How we couldn't do anything without them and then they were outside in the rain. Yeah, and I had just watched the writers episode. So there's a writers episode. This documentary? Writers episode, audition episode, The Weird Year, which is 12th season, 85, or maybe it's 11th.

And then there's an entire episode on the More Cowbell sketch. Which at the beginning you're like, there's no way. And they actually pull it off in a not totally annoying way. But there's an episode on the writers, and boy. If you talk about some people Blake needs to hang out with, just bitching. Just everything about their job is the worst. And it's like, dude, this is a great gig. That show's impossible. It is impossible worst and it's I wish I was and it's like dude This is a great gig, you know that shows impossible. It is impossible

But it's also like I just wish they would be having fun doing it like every writer you talk to you's like this is hell You know, this is I mean, I I think I have PTSD. It's like dude You're right enough. Come on crank a little Adderall stay up for 24 hours on Tuesday write some funny shit and then party Dude, you're in court. That sounds incredibly fun. What do you mean? What do you mean? Like, sitting in front of the judge and going through litigation? That sounds awesome. You should have had fun doing it. Yeah.

I'm saying this is like a- What I see on TV, it looks badass. You're in front of a jury? But they're like, I'm saying it's a fun job. Like, being in front of court, nobody's like, boy, what's the fun version of that? Their job, and I'll tell you something else. The writers don't seem like funny people in the show. Yeah. They're like playwrights and poets.

Yeah. Who understand like structure of a scene. And how to write for a people, how to write for people. How to write for people. But they're not exactly the funnest like, hey, where's the Coke? Yeah, are they the fun guy at a party? Yeah, it didn't seem like it.

I also never think about the architecture and engineering of the sets. That part blew me away, because it's just I don't think about that, because, you know. You're talking about the documentary. Yeah, but you could see it even last night after you've watched the documentary, watching the show feels different. Just watching

the way that they wheel stuff in and how quickly they get people on and off, but I mean I didn't realize the writer of a sketch is basically in charge. Once you get, like hey we're picking your sketch you got everything. You're the director. So you're going to the costume department and the set

department, and they've got blueprints. Like you're designing a house. They're like, this is going to be over here. And the writer's like, I think it'd be better if this was turned, this piece of equipment was turned this way. And they'll go over the different prosthetics with them. Oh my god.

It's crazy that the writer's in charge of that. There's so many cheat codes like if you want to get a sketch on don't write a door into your sketch. Yeah. Because it's too hard to engineer a door on a set. I mean that's crazy. I mean that's the best part of all this is just like the hours of SNL content that we've got. All of that outshines what happened last night. There you go. 100%. I mean I think the funniest thing from the weekend happened Friday night Which is my own peacock. I'll give you my password later if you want it. Is it Backstreet Boys?

Oh, well, that was weird. That was very weird, but it was Will Ferrell and on a guest I are doing the CULPS the old high school music teachers. Yeah, and Bobby Moy, they're going through. And what I realized is because of music and copyright laws, they never got a chance to have a second life on YouTube like some old sketches have. Because of what they're doing, they're taking songs and basically playing

little instrumental versions of them. We're finding out about those laws as well. It's brutal. It's brutal It's brutal on those you got to find somebody can make music Was it last night or was it I've been watching other content too, did they show this Sinead O'Connor Ripping up the Pope last night. They aired that on Saturday night on NBC Now that was the the documentary that Questlove did, the SNL music documentary, which is great.

I must have tuned in just for that part or something. They were really getting in depth into that scene. You need to see all of that too, because they get into everything that's worth the Ashley Simpson voice. Okay, I saw that too. Lip sync thing. So I must not have watched, but yeah,

just the whole how she did it, how they did it in dress rehearsal. She had a picture of a, I think it was a child. She was gonna hold a picture of a child up because she wanted to talk about world hunger or something. How's that doing? They're all like, I don't know that that many people are hungry anymore.

Good. Now I am getting a little bit of, we haven't eaten, usually we started the show too early today. Oysters. Right, where's those oysters? Oh yeah. That's what I was wondering. Well give me two and a half hours I'll go make some oysters.

When they played Nothing Compares to You last night in my head I was like is Miley about to rip up a picture of Trump? I was like is she about to do that? That document is great. They have the moment that Dave Grohl mentioned to Christopher Walken the emphasis of Foo Fighters. Foo Fighters. They've got the audio, never-before-seen audio. Yeah, like, you know, they film programs.

You see, like, the two- The Foo Fighters. Five-second cutaway. You hear Walken be like, no, what is the accent on this one? And Nova Selig starts to say Foo Fighters. And Dave's like, no, it's it's foo fighters Okay, so he just lied to him on purpose. Yes, okay, and it seemed like as they were Dave Grohl started to tell this story I'm like no way this is just a sort of thing and then they cut to the clip

Like the behind-the-scenes clip and he's like it's foo fighters. I'm like, okay. Okay It's so good one of the bad like I had to start that late But I think it's on demand still. yeah, but on YouTube TV like you do discover if you just hit SNL for ad SNL it won't do the SNL special show. Yeah, you know I mean There's anybody following me. No, I know I'm with you on that just to be sounds like I want all the stuff associated with SNL. Who won? Who won?

Who won? The bracket from last night. What bracket? Well, the night. Did you have a bracket? Has anyone been relegated? I'm telling you. There were no points.

And by the way, your representation texted me. I think that because Steve Martin was the monologue host, he should count. And I was like, no, I made the rules at the beginning of the season that the SNL 50 episode won't count. Yeah, come on. What is this, a bonanza?

His Dan's speaker of the house, Chris Binks. 9 PM. Who did the drafting? But in the Old Testament, it would be. And I'm like, dude, no, you're not getting a point for that. Did anyone hit the Daily Double? No, it's at the Daily Double yet There are a couple possibilities though. I mean Dan's Daily Doubles are no one had Chalamet Leon Bridges and Bill Belichick

You think Belichick's gonna host SNL? I don't hate that That was my sleeper. I don't hate that my two-pointer, right Yeah, my buddy Jesse, who used to work at Kimmel, he had Timothy Chalamet, so he got the two pointer there. Mm. But yeah, no, that's not bad, Dan. Leon Bridges and Bill Belichick, that's possible. TC had Nathaniel Rateliff and Phineas. TC's got no points.

It's not looking good for him. How's Phineas? Dana Carvey wasn't there last night either Phineas is a that's interesting. I said, how is he just how's he does that podcast with David Spade and David Spade was there? Yeah, I like David Spade's bit of being over the musical I get I got it. I got a good feel for it. Yeah I definitely felt that. Like this bit, too long. Well, I think that's the thing, is like if you haven't been

watching SNL for the last 10 years, you don't know that Mulaney comes back and hosts and does a New York musical every time, it's like the sixth one he's done. So, there's a lot of people going, what the hell's this? I just wanted to watch, you know, Farley, old clips of Farley and stuff. You know, speaking of Chris Farley, that reminds me of Qualis Roofing. Yeah. Who brings us today's today's talk.

About SNL, Qualis Roofing put the roof on this house, this very house. That's right. Not just the garage part, but the whole house. And they're awesome. They are big time listeners, long time supporters. But I live in Austin, Dan. Well, actually, they do have a, I mean, we don't want to focus on Austin, I don't think. But you could go to QolusGC.com.

Is that the website? Yes, QolusGC.com. OK, yeah. Because somebody did email us from Austin saying, hey, actually, I looked up Qalys Roofing around here, and they are here. So they have an office down there. But if you get a roof with Qalys,

they will pay for a sit-in on your behalf, right here or in our studio downtown Dallas. But just for getting your roof inspected, which apparently insurance companies say that you should do every year just to get an inspection they'll give you either an annual subscription to the dumb zone or they'll give you a dumb zone t-shirt so why don't you check out Qualys Roofing why don't you that's not a good answer not gonna ask again Qualys GC, they got a number? They do. 817-500-9008. Kevin, what was it? Man, I got a bad memory. 817-500-9008 for QualisGC.com. So, want to do some news? Sure.

Here's Jay with the 90s World Film News. There you go. Well, I'm sure you guys were wrapped up in this news story like I was over the weekend. Nothing better than popping on the old local morning news, seeing what the state, the city, the metropolis are talking about. And of course I'm talking about the scandal that has gripped New Mexico police regarding DWI cases. This was on all three mornings on local TV out of Albuquerque. And I'm like, well, this is a big story. I'm never gonna hear about this at home,

but this is the sort of thing, it was on every newscast morning and night out there. And what it was, it's like a three year long investigation and scandal into a couple of local defense attorneys in Albuquerque and the police. And the police would arrest people and send them to this attorney and there was like a little agreement. And that guy, the attorney attorney would get the DUI

dropped and the cop would still get the stats for the DWI arrest. So they had worked out this deal with these, a couple local defense attorneys of like, hey, just make sure they come to me and then because they pay me the extra 10K, we're going to have you not show up at the court hearing. They're going to get off. I split the extra 10K, we're gonna have you not show up at the court hearing. They're gonna get off, I split the money with you, and we just keep this thing rolling. So much so that one of the guys who got hemmed up was officer of the year in 2023

because of his record of DWI arrests. Ah. And you get five grand for each one. It doesn't say like the exact split or whatever, but it does say like in June of 2022, FBI received a tip from another local attorney about alleged DWI case that he dealt with, where he came to this attorney and said,

hey, I was told by this other guy, if I pay him 10k, I'm off scot-free. Do you have the same deal? And that guy was like, hey, I was told by this other guy if I pay him 10K, I'm off scot-free. Do you have the same deal? And that guy was like, hmm, no wonder they've been destroying me in business, I'm gonna call the FBI. That's pretty genius because all it would take really is a cop in that moment rather than kind of being a dick towards the drunk person, you just whip out a business card

like, hey man, that's tough, you need some help. Yeah. Here's my guy, Michael Lullier. And you just hand him the business card. And the drunk guy's like, oh, I got police. The officer was really nice to me. The problem is you're still getting a DWI. So even if you have to pay, like, and you're

going to have to pay a lot either way. It doesn't get off your record? I think it might at a certain time. Yeah. So even if you have to pay, like, you're going to have to pay a lot either way. It doesn't get off your record? I think it might at a certain time. But even then it's such a... And I'm being honest, I've never dealt with... In theory they would get a DWI anyway. Yeah, that's true.

Yeah, so it's not like they're in on it. Unless they were being like a little bit more... It's not like they're in on it. Yeah, and it doesn't say that they were like planting evidence or anything Of that nature if you're if you're getting it Unless it was like a repeat offender if you're gonna DWI for the first time you don't know Which defense attorney to call? Yeah, and they were definitely directed The cop was really nice to me through all this though, and he gave me a business card

So I guess I'll use them it makes sense and this is one of those type of deals, it's kind of like with the Luca trade, where after it happens now we're going to learn about all this stuff that was apparently a big problem all along. Like, oh he's just been fat this whole time. We're like, well we weren't really talking about that because we were talking about him winning. this has spawned an investigation into Albuquerque's police department that has exposed decades of corruption and scandal. Let's go. Malfeasance? Malfeasance! This feasance! This feasance was a bit mal. Yeah, bribery, extortion, racketeering, all sounds like Bribery, extortion, racketeering, all sounds like feesence of the mal variety to me. And where is this, Albuquerque?

Yeah, and there's not a whole lot going on in New Mexico. We were in Albuquerque for a night. We were, yeah. And I remember we were told. Lot of malfeasance. Yeah. We were told, I don't know. Park the RV over here.

Yeah, if you're gonna park over there, it's. I brought my arrowhead water in. I was afraid of it getting stolen. I will have you know and I did have to I felt like a real businessman who could explain things to my buddies when I saw this but while watching the local news in New Mexico I saw a PSA featuring Bryan Cranston in character. Wonderful. And he was like roll, it was for waste, trash, and recycling. And he was like rolling a can in the desert in his underwear.

Like even I dispose of my, you know, whatever. And my- Well, that's the same as Walker Texas Ranger being that for Texas. Yeah. Does he? For sure. Yeah, somebody threw a can on the ground

and he cried or something. Yeah, he's all of a sudden Mr. Albuquerque. Yeah, and so a couple, you know, my buddy was like, dude, is he down that bad? Like, why is Bryan Cranston doing, I'm like, this has to do with taxes. Now, I don't know that I could explain it beyond that, but I do feel like-

But we all nodded when you said it, like, yeah. Like, he's doing this for the state of New Mexico, I could explain it beyond that, but I do feel like. But we all nodded when you said it. Yeah. Yeah. It's got to be it. He's doing this for the state of New Mexico. Somehow they're letting him do this in the state of New Mexico. Just trust me, there's taxes involved here. Moving a couple things from here to there. Brilliant. So anyways.

But we don't really know to me. What state does he in? By the way, that's another fun thing to do especially if you go to a foreign city on a Friday Saturday a Get up early you're watching the morning news on Friday You're like hell yeah, these are because what you're watching are a lot of mid majors who are ready to make a Cinderella run like their Friday morning lady She'll be in Dallas if she plays her cards right five, six years from now, right?

But then what you get, Saturday morning, Sunday morning where you might find the Albuquerque TV equivalent of the Shake Joint. And you notice that the Sunday morning anchor in a mid-market just kind of looks like a cashier. It's very funny to watch. And they throw it over to the guy and he's a dork. You know, it doesn't work out. Doesn't look funny. Is white. So you know he generally has no upward trajectory in the media. But not a lot going on in New Mexico. Thus the gravity of the story.

Local news is fun. I love it. One of my buddies said something. It was like, we got fired up. We just kept it on every afternoon and every morning. Let's see what they got going on here. No, I felt very old, man. When we were at Fox last week and I saw Dan Godwin walk in,

I was like, oh my God, that's Dan Godwin. Who the hell am I? I didn't care about Dan Godwin. I freaked out too last time I was there popped her out of the bathroom up for I was like Dan Godwin me and Danny were freaking out Used to watch him every morning. Hey look there's Steve Eager We did touch on this earlier, but assistant coach to the Dallas Mavericks DA Darrell Armstrong arrested and charged with aggravated assault It's a call between three and four o'clock in the morning. Mmm Saturday night Sunday morning. Oh They say that this was an argument between DA and a woman over some text messages She found uh-oh and even further reporting indicates that it was him

Saying he supported the lucuka trade. Do it. Come on, man. She found him and confirmed about him, and he said, bitch. I'm on her side then. And I'd probably be on her side anyway. Probably can't hit a lady with the pistol. You went full Russ Martin on her, huh? Whoa.

With a pistol, huh? Yeah. That's worse than punching. I think so I think so we were just we were discussing this yesterday too and it's like pistol whipping is kind of the worst of all outcomes because I Think your thought is I'm gonna get out this gun and then that's gonna kill everything right there Like they're gonna be like well, I'm gonna stop messing with you cuz you have this gun. Okay, so that's what happened She stayed lippy. Yeah, that's not what you want. You know you're supposed to clam up once that happens, right?

She knew he wasn't gonna shoot her but he didn't she called his bluff So give him that for restraint for not shooting her. Yeah, give him a little point you'll time for there But now it's KT alluded to earlier hit a woman with and it's okay? penis talk with I've seen indications that they like they like that they like pillow fights. I think just with each other. Yeah Like that's what they do on girls trips right what about Attention and care? You can hit him with that?

That's what I do. OK. No, but KT referenced this earlier. Larry Taylor, who is an attorney for DA, he's an A for DA, says, quote, we are in the preliminary stages of conducting our own independent investigation. Let's find out for sure what happened. He's going to investigate his own thing.

Don't let the mainstream media tell you what's going on. We'll get back to you. We'll run our own thing over here. Dude, he's been a coach for the Mesh for like 15 years. He has been for a very long time. 10th season and he was around before that. Boy, there's so much we could get to today. Now I feel like I'm under the gun.

Elon had another baby. What? Yeah, this is like 20 for him? 13, I believe. Wow. I did not know that he had that many. Now, many of them are via IVF. Like so.

Like he was never actually with them? Correct. He donated his chism. This one, it's a little unclear though. And it's a weird story because it first broke, the New York Post did an interview with this woman named Ashley St. Clair, who is an influencer of the conservative variety. It's a hot name. Ashley St. Clair? Oh yeah. Yeah. So she's 26 now, and she did this article

with the New York Post, right? They go to her apartment in Manhattan, they interview her, and she's like, "'I'm breaking my silence. "'I am the father of Elon Musk's five-month-old child.'" And they're like, well, why are you doing, or excuse me, the mother of the child, and they're like, well, why are you doing this? And the yeah the mother of the child they're like why are you doing this and she said because the press has

been all over me and the tabloids are trying to expose this so I'm just gonna do it it's like but they weren't they asked her would you care to tell us who no can't tell you that okay so. So nobody was at. She just released herself. Feels pretty organized on her part. Yeah. Now. Uh, she says that he's funny, he's down to earth, that he slid into her DMs. And then like, uh, I think maybe she interviewed him.

And after the interview he's like, hey, do you want to leave somewhere with me tonight? So in this one it kind of sounds like he hit it. Well, if she should have the DM then for proof um she does have some he can delete those he can Oh, yeah, go right to the root But so his only comment regarding this matter since it happened somebody found Some Twitter interactions with her. She tweeted something like, you know,

seeing a lot of men leave their families' lives early and you don't think about what that does to the kids, and he just hearted it. And then someone else found another photo where about five years ago she was responding to his tweets and he responded to that too with a whoa. I like to imagine there's a big daycare center room at the White House with a bunch of little genius kids. I want to get to that in a second.

Yeah somebody found this tweet. It says Ashley St. Clair plotted for half a decade to ensnare Elon Musk. And she had commented, well he actually has seven kids and goes through women pretty fast. That was five years ago. Someone screen-shotted that, then yesterday

Elon just replied, whoa. He has not acknowledged the child. He did acknowledge one of his other groups of kids over the weekend. The mom posted a photo and he just hearted that. What I'm here to tell you though is that, now that there's 13 of them, there's 5 women, the bad news is you're probably going to have to learn all these people's names. And they're essentially going to be the dynastic soap opera of the next 50 years of American

life. Isn't his kid's name X? The one whose name is that, however you actually say it. I don't know how to say it. The one with Grimes? The one with Grimes? You're going to have to learn how to say that kid's name. And they're going to be vying for control of America.

Dude, just think about it. Was that the one in the White House the other day? I think so. Who was telling Trump House the other day? I think so. Who was telling Trump he's not president? I think so, right Blake? I don't remember. I was just thinking though that these Musk kids are gonna be fighting against Baron, right?

That's gonna be the battle. Oh my God. Oh, end game. That's the song of fire and ice we got ahead of us. Baron versus the Musk children. Boy, I like that a lot. Now will one of them be emperor of Mars? We're gonna try for sure.

But you're gonna know these kids' names. He's the richest person in the world and he's not like Bill Gates chill. He's Elon Musk. He wants to have 13 kids. He wants to have a semen farm. He actually believes that he's rewriting history. His kids are going to be all we talk about.

One of them is probably going to own the Cowboys. Might be an upgrade. I'm just saying. Why not? If you're tired of these people, they're not going anywhere. And yeah, what... I don't... Is Trump going to put up with this? Like watching Trump get cucked by a six-year-old the other day other day I was like stand up for yourself. That's what I'm on. It's some point. He's got to do it

Just hit the kid. Yeah Like that kid bitched him around more than anybody has in the last ten years while the media is talking to Elon In his off don't like it if I'm'm Trump. That's a little too close. Yeah and he had to sit there it was like 10-15 minutes he just stewing. Can't end well. It's an amazing time. He's sitting there wearing his stupid hat. Elon hosted SNL once. Elon and Trump were invited last night. Oh really?

But Trump chose to go to Daytona 500. I heard he flew Air Force One over. That kind of rocks. Like that was the flyover? Yeah, well I mean I know he flew, I don't know if they did another one as well but. He has his little granddaughter with him. They should parachute him in. But no, trust me there's gonna be a day where you're gonna be like I don't love Baron but I love him more than Exoddark, Sidorial or Technomachinicus. Because yeah if that those are your choices you're voting Baron. Yeah Baron and the boys like you're gonna pull that lever Yeah, and I'm sure he'll have like his own team. He'll have his e and his Johnny drama and stuff that will

We can all come to know and love Oh The world there's your dues Tomorrow we'll get to the the four Hood County capital murder suspects. Hood County News! I want to check in. Big story. I want to check in.

But we discussed the possibility of we fire up a new wall downtown. Yeah, why not? Like, so I've already started saving the photos in a special I Think it'd be funnier if we got Seductive photos of the dudes this is why we didn't ask him like that your lady has to take a photo of you I'll walk about it.

And greetings, my new Lakers fans, brothers. I won't bother you with the usual nonsense of figuring out my age by adding up random jerseys. I know how much Jake loathes that. I don't want to be responsible for any added stress that might lead to his relapse. I'm 47 today. I'm currently writing this as I watch the snowplows, front loader, and dump trucks take away 18 inches or so of snow I'm dealing with up here in Vermont. Damn. There's only two of us DFs that I know of in Vermont, so I submit my own

Well you almost had it love you boys l77 fl Andrew in Vermont I'd like to go to Vermont me too. What do they got there? Pretty snow snow right now. Yeah, and and they're known for their syrup. Where would you say it is? The Western part of New England I think the western part of New England I think so it's over there it's East Coast it's probably Hampshire ish maybe there's like they probably

legalized it right oh yeah it's Vermont yeah just feels like I remember it showing up on our list of summer places we could go. Yes. It's filtered pretty heavily. That's part of your. Yeah. OK. You're legal. Speaking of that, by the way, we went to,

I was not a part of this trip, but there's two dispensaries within about 15 minutes out there. And I can't say that I would have ever done this, but one of my buddies must have. They called him back the next morning, and he had a couple missed calls from a number in town. He's like, what's this? Calls back, and he has apparently,

he entered his phone number into a raffle. To win whatever? Just to win. And they're like, yeah, we got all this wax, all this weed, all these drinks. Just come back and pick it up. I'm like, OK. That per, yeah, I would back and pick it up. I'm like, okay That's yeah, I would never have entered it either never like what a waste of time

Well, plus he's on their list now, but I guess I would've got you. Yeah. Yeah, I want to be on the list This will be brought to us by Franco and Franco personal injury attorneys at 2 and 4 or 8 1 7 then you dial all threes if you This will be brought to us by Frankl and Frankl, personal injury attorneys at 214 or 817.

Already a pain, you're confused, you're in a wreck. Take all the guesswork out of it. Don't deal with the insurance companies. Just call the Frankl's, 214-817-3333-3333. Here on Monday, February 17th, today in history, in 1801, the U.S. House of Representatives broke an electoral tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr. That means Jefferson became president and Burr became vice president. It's the way they used to do it. So that would be like Kamala would be the vice president today.

Which would be awesome. That'd be interesting. I mean when that changed. Hillary and Trump would have been a banger. Yeah. Or as like I think Obama and McCain could have gotten along? Yeah, they both seemed... Their debate was very gentleman-like. Yeah, McCain would be defending Obama against those who called him a Muslim or whatever. That is a very funny moment though. I've always enjoyed the underrated racism of that.

He's like, uh, some people are saying that my opponent is a Muslim and that's certainly not true. He's a good person. Right, a good man, a family man, we just differ on some certain issues. Yeah, but just the fact that he's like, now if he were a Muslim, that's fucking disgusting. Right? And evil. But that all started back then,

like we think that's like now, like dude, Thomas Jefferson called John Adams a hermaphrodite. Yeah. Like this all started back from the beginning. Get the guns out makes me not feel as bad choppers on this day in 1997 it would be the biggest Dallas Mavericks trade that they would ever have What now this I'm excited for this trade This is when they traded with the New Jersey Nets and got Sean Bradley

This is when they traded with the New Jersey Nets and got Sean Bradley. Action figure. I'm gonna guess Robert Pack was in that trade. They got Sean Bradley, Khalid Reeves, DJ Khalid Reeves, and Robert Pack, and Ed O'Bannon. Ed O'Bannon, UCLA Bruin. In exchange for... Son of a bitch. Jimmy Jackson was the centerpiece, right?

Then Sam Cassell, George McLeod, Chris Gatling, and Eric Montross. And yes, that's when Sean Bradley... That was his... Could walk. The Mavs would be... Okay. It was an accident. Yeah, nice guy, dude. But the historical record will reflect that the dating question he could walk

Yes, thank you like a year off of this guy now now. I'm offended guy Yeah, just walking along riding his bike and has a major catastrophe could barely barely Made it out alive. You're just gonna mock him this whole life. I respect him for continuing to fight actually Wasn't he riding one of those bikes with the big giant wheel because he's so tall Like he probably would be fine if he didn't ride one of those yeah, I wonder what his car was like All right, I don't think he was driving a Mustang. Like Shaq was squeezing into like small cars. Mormon. Yeah, Sean Bradley. Yeah.

And on this day in 2021, I think I was at Casseroys House. Because nearly one point nine million utility customers in Texas still had no power after historic phone historic snowfall and single digit temperatures created a surge in demand for electricity to heat homes Buckling the state's power grid causing widespread blackouts That's when yes, we were in the freeze here There was the rolling blackout. So the electricity would go on for like an hour or a half hour

and then off for four hours. And we had a fire rolling here and that's when I was like, I got to do the show. I'm going to have to drive to Dallas and go to Cassaroy's house. Heat was like, it was too hot. It was too much heat, just comforters and just what a bedroom and I slept alone. It was just by myself. It was great. What a few days that was. That was one of your finer moments. Walked over to the ticket. Yeah. I think you went to your buddy's house or a friend of a... I did

one show here. Yeah, we tried doing it here. You're at my house without me. Yeah, you were in Dallas. And then you were in, is that when you were in the closet? Yeah. Did a show in a closet? That was- Like literally, not metaphorically.

No, I've always been pretty open about it. Yeah. That was tough. It was also during COVID still. People forget that part. I was like, hey, I have a friend who has power, but they have COVID. I mean, isn't COVID happening now?

It's true. It's true. Birthdays today, famous people birthdays. More famous than Taron. Michael Jordan, 62. Damn. Jordan. Bird. Magic. Kobe. Shaq.

Those are either the hard workers of his youth or the only five players he can name. 100%. I'm going to say that one. That are either the hard workers of his youth or the only five players he can name. 100%.

But I went there and took, you know, a hundred photos of all these statues. Still had the idea though. I enjoy being a part of your statue journey that lasted one day. We'll get back to it.

No, it'll be super cool because eventually you'll go there and there'll just be another one where you're like, I feel like that should have been somewhere else. Dope. Damn, are they gonna put a Luka statue outside of Crypto? Of course they are! Why wouldn't they? He's gonna win three titles there and go to the Hall of Fame! He's gonna be out of shape the next five or six years first MVP will be there of course It's the house that Luca built Daniel Whitney let me tell you something his Mavericks career will be an

Afterthought to most the world in ten years an afterthought You'll see a couple highlights the rest of it will be only in your mind you think I'll still be playing in 10 years well if you just say a party 10 years from now well I'm just saying if we fast forward 10 years from now say his career has been done a couple years at that point those seven years with the Lakers are gonna be a lot more important than the seven years in Dallas it'll barely be a thing and in seven years with the Lakers are going to be a lot more important than the seven years in Dallas. It'll barely be a thing And in seven years AD will still be putting up so

Yeah, he'll be playing still be on the DL Daniel Whitney is 62 You might know him as Larry the cable guy oh wow We had him on Yeah, I'd say that was like the bestable Guy. Oh wow. We had him on.

If I pass, and it's not like there was a car accident don't act all like we're gonna get to the bottom of this. Just assume because you're gonna get to the bottom of it and then you're gonna be like oh it's just opioid, benzos, THC, antidepressants. You know what it was.

Anyway, Lone Star Beer, Authentic League Texan, awesome merch, go to lonestarbeer.com. And perfect with a tray of barbecue, it says here. So any closing remarks? I probably don't have much.

OK. What's the relationship like growing up? Like did you guys live in the same home? Were you moving out right when he was born? He said 15. Yeah so I was a freshman in high school. Dad got married again. Married again so I went off to college when he was three and then I was I guess the big scary guy that came home from college. Did you live with dad? I lived more with mom, some with dad. Okay, so this was, he didn't even live in your house?

No. Okay. And then I was gone. I have one of those. When he was three. That I am not still in contact with. But the kid. I'm doing good.

Now, my second, my next half brother, who is same kind of a thing. I'm like 15, all of a sudden my dad, who lives over here, has a kid. That kid's life, way better than mine. He never got the belt. He got the better, like my dad made the mistakes with me. That's why my next kids, they're going to love it.

They're going to have great stuff. Sometimes my father-in-law will even say that. And I'm like, you know, the first one's here. He's like, I screwed this up. Yeah. Yeah, these ones are great. Were you always thinking, boy, that kid's getting way better treatment than I got?

No? No. You still want to say that overtly? My dad's 79 now better treatment than I got. No? No. You just don't want to say that overtly? Well I think my dad's 79 now and I was 31 so he had me when he was like 48 I think by that point he was just like he was out mailing it in. Okay that sounds awesome. And I kind of I'm like why did you have a kid at 50? Like because he had a new young wife right? She's younger. She's younger but she's certainly younger than mom or your mom. I right? She's younger. But she's... Certainly younger than mom. Or your mom.

I guess. Of course, my mom would always point that out. How young my dad's new wife. My dad's new wife was closer to my age than his age. Did you have to give him the talk?

Did you teach him about the birds and the bees? No, that was all like my friends. Okay. He was just kind of...gone. He got married, I was like 12. So it's just...and his son's now 18 so it's just kind of this...it will always be this like little off kilter like... But you guys obviously have some kind of relationship. Yeah, yeah. We're close. If you're here together. Yeah, and his kids too. I mean, I never had a little brother. His nephew's, or my nephew, his son is 18. Like, we're going to the Davey O'Brien thing tonight. That's so weird, but so cool. Oh, Jake voted for that. Or did have a vote. No, no I didn't. Ever. But... Oh, the Groza. I'm like David Spade.

You're on the board. I get it. I get it. I got to feel for it. I got to feel for it. Yeah, my son and him are about the same age differences he and I are. So we have, it's like this. That's kind of cool. It's like a half generation deal.

Someone's going to be in the Notre Dame band. So would you, like, you would feel uncomfortable busting the Sun Like if you saw that he had pod or something you'd be like I can't tell my brother You probably fire one up probably sweeping under the rug a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, because the cool uncle Yeah, who's like third who's 12 years older than he is? So even when he's like 30, I'll be 42. Man, I've told you guys a story about how with Kristen's situation.

So I met her family, and she's got aunts and uncles. Because in this case, her mom's dad got remarried to someone much younger. So then he had kids there. So I would meet. She's like, this is my aunt, this is my uncle, but they were like two years younger than me. Right.

But they would still talk to me like they were a rung above on like the family ladder. Ah. It's like you're 28. I was like 32 at the time. Like, how's you saving? Get a good interest rate? I'm like, what are you doing? Well they could

tell you didn't know. That's true. But even at the same time I'd say they had like a very Gen X pop culture influence on like SNL last night was great because it was like grew up on the Farley Sandler year. That would be a cool thing about it. Like Pearl Jam. Put cool stuff in front of you yeah so I was like the only 12 year old listening to Pearl Jam in 2007 but well thanks for the tacos yeah boys thanks for having us thanks for the Luca therapy to the past few weeks it's been very very necessary someone enjoys it sorry it's been fun.
