Oh my, what a bargain. Now, on to today's program. Fairlease.org. That is where you're going to start your next car exchange journey. I was out with the boys, Connor and Nick, at Fair Lease yesterday. I went to their physical location and learned a lot more about what they do there. I'm ready to say that Fairlease is the dumb zone of the car process. There is no middleman.

They can actually do this however you want them to do it. They're the bank. They don't go ask a bank about the interest rates and this and that. It's a community bank. It's a credit union of Texas. They can help you out. Whatever sort of lease you want to get into, just let your mind go crazy.

And they can probably take care of you as far as term, as far as getting you a car here from somewhere else in the country. Any vehicle you like? Any vehicle you like. They'll find it. They'll bring it to you. Great for the commercial space. If you're looking to get box trucks or work trucks, unlimited mileage on those leases, tax write off.

They're good people over there. It's fairlease.org. Click the how did you hear about us part. Then you'll see the dumb zone. It's fair lease.org. They have the dump zone, how the Mavericks trading Anthony Davis makes them like a dirty drunk apologizing to their family. Also, Joe Kemp and Craig McDowell, beware. Celebrity relatives are getting picked off. And shrimp didn't kill Payne Stewart, but that didn't stop from doing this accent.

Today on the Dumb Zone. It's the Dumb Zone. I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jake Kemp. I'm Blake Jones. We are not in our Game Day Men's Health Studio, which is in the Fox 4 building, downtown Dallas. Gameday.dumzone.com, by the way. Wanted to get yourself feeling right, you old F.

Get yourself ready for Valentine's Day, bud. Oh, there we go. Why don't you just rock it up now and keep it for the next fortnight? It's right around the corner. It is. Today is show number 503. And I realize today, oh yeah, last Friday was show 500. So we didn't make a big deal out of it.

This is the driving home. This is growth. Yeah. This is the way I'd like to do it. You'd like to hear about it later? If at all. But I do like hearing about it later because it feels. like an accomplishment that we didn't hear about it last week.

I think it's very tough to be focused, swim like shark, if you're stopping and being like, what we did. Well, I didn't mind to say, look what we did. No, but I mean, just note that it's a milestone number. I don't mean you. The round number celebration industrial complex, I feel like is a lot of, let's look at what we did. I mean, I really enjoyed the Conan year in review, the comedy. I always enjoyed clip shows.

I don't mind that even. I enjoy clip shows. And then when you get on the radio and you do clip shows, it's like, ugh. Who already heard this? Yeah, I never heard this. Like when we do that with our, the bad radio top ten. It actually takes a lot of work. Right.

That's harder to do that show. Well, not for me. Yeah, well, no, I mean, you contribute ideas to it. I don't know. I don't, I, 5.03. I'm grateful. Yeah, I mean, what if? Gummy thought, brought to us by Early Bird.

There you go. What if somewhere in history we had just decided, like, on the threes is the thing to celebrate. And we would be celebrating today. We would. But we're not. No. But we are here. Celebrating life through sports.

High atop my garage. And we have a sit-in. He is Eliseo. Eliseo has been here in the past. He was here for a game stream. I was. I think he has stalked Jake in some kind of a car line. I do.

Rather than stalk me than my kid. Yeah, I'll leave the kids out. Yeah, I think you would. I'm a good guy. You're out of your cast. A self-proclaimed good guy. Not anymore. I'm out of a cast.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, didn't you get in a fight? You broke your arm? Broke my hand. Yeah, we learned this at the Dumbzone generic summer event. Too much tea, man. We saw. Gameday.

You go. Sure. They actually just do transfusions of LSAO's DNA. Just take pieces of my beard. How old are you? I'm 50. He's 50. I just turned 50, gentlemen.

You look great. You do look great, other than when your hand was all messed up from fighting a guy at a grocery store parking lot and grapevine. Now, that was when he was 49. True. He was young, dumb, and full of some stuff. June 5th, 2025. Oh, you didn't know the date?

Yeah, I do. That was the... Two days before your event. Yeah, I was just looking at the summer event from last year. I have a picture with intern Henry as Bluey, I guess. I got my cast on. And there with my son's awesome. We resolve that with no charges.

Yes. Okay. Got the lawyer. I will recommend anybody get this whatever, Texas Law Shield, whatever. 30 bucks a month. It's worth it if you conceal all carry. Interesting. You don't have to have it on you?

I think we're learning a lot about Elisio here, and it's not even closing remarks. Yeah. But we'll ask him about his gun. Okay. And when it comes to Texas law, I usually refer people to Frankl and Frankel. But you know what? You do your thing. If some psycho beats you up in a parking line.

Yeah, if a 49-year-old wild man who was just a game day men's health. Over a dispute in the cart line, then you need to call 817. Or 214, and then 333, 33, Frankl and Frankl, trusted for years. They'll take care of you. I talked to Gene. Did you? Yeah, I called them after the event. He gave me some good advice.

So you talked to a partner. I did. See, you don't talk to the Blake. Great voice. Great voice. Blake is the middleman, but Frankel cuts out the middleman. So my motto here today is dress for the weather you want. It's happening, isn't it?

It's still very cold. At least this morning it was. I was putting out, did you see what I put out? We're throwing away the Christmas tree. Ooh. Had it about a decade. And the wife has decreed. She wants a new tree for next year.

Dude. Get it now. Well, she's been searching now and... Listen, bud, there is no... Yeah, she's like, there's no discatch. She was like, oh, this one's $600. I'm like, what? She goes, yeah, that's just...

the way it is. I think we paid four or $450 recently in the last few years. Well, we sent it back. It came to us and it was tiny, and I'm like, I don't want this tree. Huh. She's a kind of person that always wants to do the buying and then...

Well, that's what I was going to say when Blake said, why don't you buy it now? I was going to say there's really no now with his wife. There's going to be a protracted, you know, research project. Well, she did go to, I think, your Home Depot and the... But I guess that's all. all been picked over. Your Christmas eat stores.

What is it? Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby is one of them, sure. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah, I guess they're not going to restock, but. We once took the Christmas tree from the lady that just lost this Texas Senate thing and put it in the ticket studio.

Do you remember that? Was that Jan McDowell's tree? Who? No. Oh, right here. Oh, that was hers. Yeah, I just saw that out there. It's an honor.

It was like a. I do remember that we. Right before. Christmas. Yeah. So they had decided when they looked through their old stuff. Actually, we're just going to throw this one away now. We'll be an Aspen.

I was on my way to the ticket and, like, grabbed it through it in the studio and Jake decorated it. So maybe, I'm just saying there is a Christmas tree in two bins. You ever go to the container store and they sell you like, oh, this is a Christmas tree bin? Oh, okay. You buy it and half the tree fits in it. So then I had to go buy another one. My situation is even worse. We have a bad.

I believe it's a dedicated Christmas tree bag. And I don't know how they got it in there the first time, but somebody's put on some weights and trying to zip that thing all the way up. I'm like on top of it, you know? Oh, yeah. We got a bag. Strip the zipper. Fuck.

So one big bag. Yeah, dude. Goes around the whole tree. Yeah. I am intrigued by the people that are building new houses and they have a Christmas tree closet. You told me about that. And it sort of feels like archery is about to be big or something. but it makes a lot of sense.

You can kind of keep it decorated. Yeah. Just slide it in there. It fits perfect. It's just a big giant closet. Great for hide and seek. It would be, yeah. Look for your Easter eggs in there.

We had a, this is when I thought, this was on our rich people list when I was a kid. Like intercom. Hot tub for sure. Oh, my gosh. This house had an intercom. I remember you saying, yeah. When we bought it, and it's just too much to get. Did they always stop working?

within four years. They had to. But yeah, for a short half-life. You're in your bed. You ever go to a buddy's house with the Anircom? You're talking to somebody down. Hey, go downstairs and I'll talk to you.

Oh, okay. You can order something from mom. We had, and I didn't even know this existed until we got it, but when we moved, I was in maybe seventh or eighth grade, and I thought at that point we were rich because we had a two-story house. There was a laundry shoot. Oh, yeah. Which was so cool, dude.

for any number of reasons from the cat sports jackass type thing baby brother when he's born yeah it's good times so news wise this is probably in your news but i'm just very interested in the thought because you know we'll do today in history at the end of the show at every you know every show and sometimes i will lament the fact that, uh, we just don't have kidnapping anymore. You just don't. Yeah, we can get right into Lil John's son and Samantha Guthrie if you want. Little John. I don't know anything about that.

Right? Little John's adult son. He's 27. Just was kidnapped? All I know is about Samantha. Yeah. 27-year-old? Do you know about Samantha?

Do you know Samantha Guthrie is? Savannah. Savannah. Excuse me. Savannah Guthrie is the... She's been on NBC. Host of the Today Show. Yeah.

Oh, good for her. You'd never heard her? You'd know her if you saw her. There's a lot of her. I don't think he would. There's a lot of her. Wait, wait. Think Jennifer Aniston.

That's what I was about to say. He's the real life Jennifer Aniston from the morning show. There's a lot of her in that show. Oh, okay. For sure. See? I don't know who's supposed to be who, but her mom is missing. 84-year-old mom.

They have said that they believe it's a criminal act. Did they put out a silver alert? I think this one's a little. little bigger than that oh yeah see a lot of those and she's uh not not mentioned in the epstein files who savannah guthrie she's in the upstein files i just by proxy like her husband they all are though like her husband owns a company that was doing business with oh okay dude that's the same thing there are epstein files people that are not didn't go to the island and nail young chicks right sure

I mean, I'm just hoping that for Savannah Guthrie's sake. She seems like a sweetheart. She's very housewifey. Dude, that's where they need to go with y'all's joint. That's what the newsroom. That's what the newsroom? The morning show. The morning show.

That's what it means. On Apple TV. They need to embrace this Epstein thing and have a couple of, because they did. Oh, I thought you were going to say they need to have a kidnapping of. Well, no. I mean, that could work into it. They did, you know, Me Too and whatever else. Absolutely.

COVID. It's a rip. from the headlines. Because, you know, there's a, I think it was ABC. And Steve Correll did the Me Too thing. Yeah. He was so, this is kind of a,

so now let's just keep it going. You're right, yeah. There's a lot going on out there, guys. A lot's going on that you don't even know about. So are you, is that what you were going to get to is that kidnapping is back? Well, yeah, it's just, it's amazing. There was like three or four days ago.

Yeah. You haven't heard about this, Blake? The drop of the Epstein files has really made me not go to the internet. Wow. So I'm kind of... Does cocaine make you fall asleep? I'm disconnected. Because I can't stop.

See, I was thinking about this last night. I'm kind of tired of it. I'm a little bit with Blake. I was thinking about this last night and just thinking how you're energized by this whole story, but I was never really... I don't know anything about it. And so it's like, you're like, isn't it crazy when you learn that it's true, all this stuff? And I'm like, I don't know.

I don't, I haven't thought that. Now, if I would be really flabbergasted if somebody came forward and was like, yeah, I'm the guy that put the Patrick Ewing envelope in the fridge. And then I put it in there for David Stern to be able to feel that's a conspiracy theory that I've really been deeply involved in for my whole life. But yeah, I don't. And this has not certainly not been my whole life, but long enough to where it's rocking my, and a lot of it, I'm sure is fake. But typically somebody will link the Justice Department file right there below if it's real. That's not 100% fail safe.

But most of it's real, dude. That's the thing. And both sides are covering it up. Is that what's going on? Of course. Who owns the media? To me. Tom Brokaw was in, Tom Brokaw, America's anchor.

He was in one of these secret societies for old dudes, the 12 or whatever. I don't even remember. But it's straight out of one battle after another. That sort of thing, that shit exists. It exists. And they own the media. It's exhausting. I can tell you about my Tuesday night, if we're done with that.

I was just going to, my last thing on that was going to be. Sorry. I can't. Too much. It's a weird position I find myself in going, man, it looks like Marjorie Taylor Green is the only, like, honest one I can trust on this whole thing. Am I wrong? No, I mean. She's the one that would scream in the state of a union address.

And I'm like, what is this person? Who does that? And then she's like the only one like, look, I'm trying to stand up for these victims and like, oh, okay, that seems good. Yeah. But I don't, again. So now we go on to Blake's. Tuesday night or Wednesday? Because yesterday was business Wednesday.

Thank you, Sean Kernan. 360 wealth management. I can tell you about playing dominoes with my grandpa. Actually, you know what? I do need to tell you something about that. Because we finally... Because Jake has done this story forever about how STDs run rampant in old folks' homes. And I don't get it.

But I did walk past this couple on a couch, smooching. You're talking senior PDA? In the lobby. That's insane. Like regular adults don't do that. Who are you into club? Like making out? No, not.

I wouldn't describe it as making out. Was it a tongue? A little honk? If their lips were involved at all, that is a way weird public move for me. What the last time you kissed your wife in public just like, oh, walking around, standing in front of a store at the mall? Let me get a little smooch. Have your teeth in? Yeah, the teeth were in.

Anyway, so then sit down to play, and then it, there's kind of like a tension in the air, because there's a lot of senior citizens hanging out. They'll just talk over on one table. We got the gossiping ladies behind us, and then we're playing dominoes. And then I've started to bring Brooks, and he'll kind of do puzzles and play games over here.

And then finally, one of the new tenants says it. Are they a couple? and then just the floodgates. I saw him kissing over in the physical therapy room. Oh, I saw him in her room the other night. Did they just, had they just a part of the room? Did I miss that part? Or they're in the room for this?

No, they're in like the lobby. Okay. So we're just down the hall. It's the gossip. Yeah. And what's funny is like, if someone is down, you might whisper, they might hear you. No. Nobody can hear anything.

So they could be just right around and just, you just, carte blanche to say whatever you want. But they're not leaving room for Jesus on that couch. Oh, fantastic. And, yeah, it was hilarious listening to them talk about the kissing couple. But why not? If you're 90 and you just moved in and there's a cute girl down the hallway, have at it. Why not?

Even towards the end of your life, most people are just like, someone else is happy. Mm-mm. I don't like that. I've seen it, too. Well, that reminds me in no way of one-day doors and closets before we get to the rest of Blake's story. Other than maybe that replacing the doors in your home could get you some smooching. It is a great Valentine's gift. Oh, I guess it could be.

And they have a buy one, get one free on doors. So buy one and then you get two. So you can call that 50% off. You can call it Bogo. You can call it whatever you want. Really, you don't need to expound on it at all because whichever one you do, everyone understands. What you mean. Oh.

So I'm just wasting time is what you're saying. One DayTexus.com slash promo 30. These are kick-ass doors, factory painted, installed in just one day, fully finished. They have the 3D measuring technology, not the 2D. Like those. Childs play. Those pansies over at three-day doors in closets. At techno doors.

That's why it takes them so long. but they've got all that advanced technology. They'll cut your doors to fit perfectly in your home. It is like hanging a new piece of art in every room. You should really do it. Solid. Solid! Like U.B.

That's undercover brother. Don't know if you get that reference. Anyway, one-day doors and closets. Fully finished cabinet-grade paint. Great dudes as well. They love the dumb zone customer. I was just talking to one of those guys this morning who said it was great to work with one-day doors and closets, 940, 9-4790, or one-day, Texas.com slash promo 30.

Back to Blakeburg. So I also had to pick up my wife's car. That's why I was late on Tuesday or drop off her car, get it back, whatever. The loaner had serious XM in it. Always a nice treat. Yeah. It's like picking up sushi or something. You're like, I don't usually do this.

Yeah, so I took a swim through and all that. that and landed on Channel 58, Pure Country. I'm rewinding a little bit. And then I can't tell if I like the bit of the radio DJ, like trying to transition between songs where it's a song about the radio, ain't nothing wrong with the radio.

He comes in, isn't anything, nothing's wrong with your radio, listening to Serious, Channel 58, now on to whatever, just trying to do, did y'all ever want to be that radio DJ? Well, I've got news, for you. That's the only pitch I had most of the time I was doing the top ten. Really?

And to a point where I was like, yeah, this is ironic, but I was like fake laugh. Like if the guys were all laughing, and then I'd be like, I would almost do the Malaney meme of like, here I am with all my friends, the hard line, enjoying this conversation. But it's too weird if you just start talking. I know. You're trying to be the listener kind of, you know. And you feel like you should be doing your own show, and they're going to give you 10 seconds every five minutes.

You're going to shoot your shot. It's a touch corny, but I think I like it. This song about the rain, hey, Pacific Northwest, expecting some rain this weekend. I mean, grew up listening to DJs and wanted to be that guy. Here's God bless Texas. Yeah. And the song plays. I mean, that's very Jim Nance, right?

Yeah, but I like it. Yeah. I like that. Did you ever want to be radio DJ? Absolutely. He wanted to be disco man. Oh, yeah. Dude, I couldn't believe it when I went to the mall and saw Uncle Vic.

He was a guy on the local radio station when I was growing up, and great voice, you know, deep, all that kind of stuff. he was the just most disgusting human you'd ever seen just like yeah dude big oh yeah sloppy just the way he drift like he sounded though and it was my first taste ever of you know led you to know what radio hot is or whatever like all the girls do does still sound good to me all of them yeah there's there's a there's a lot of socks in the grave for cindy skulls contributions to this world radio was yeah yeah for us when did people start doing more bits because for us for me anyways it was kramer and twitch and i think they were both pretty pretty disgusting were they yeah but they would like you know they did the brittney spears prank which i either got suspended or fired for where

they convinced everyone brittney spears that was national it made it national yeah yeah but i don't know when it became okay to start doing i guess you've always had like the national lampoon hour but like the mix of doing bits and music as a full show well that was kind of a morning show that's what i'm saying yeah okay did you start doing more me no just the industry i don't know i mean in cleveland i mean and here the zoo was mike rhiner was part of that right probably at the same time in cleveland that wmm s and they had a show called

jeff and flash were waking you up in the morning and uh we're gonna blow something up and then you call and be like, yeah, man, I want to blow up the mayor for Dean, blah, blah, blah. That's where the Sterminator drop came from. Excellent. Because I worked for an AM station in Cleveland that was the sister station of the FM Giants, the buzzer WMMS in Cleveland,

was this renowned station. And that was part of their morning show, and I got access to their drops and stuff. Fantastic. Like where do you think the birthday music from for Why Late and Suck came from? I mean, I know. I'm a Jeff and Flash in the morning. I love it.

I know you've collected along the way, but you're a crate digger. Yeah, maybe the big yay drop might even be from the WMMS morning show. Anyway. There's history in this program. But Tuesday evening, I spoke to the sports broadcasting class at North Texas. Oh, yeah. I've done this before. I forgot to throw a part of the threat.

Yeah. Yeah, and the students aren't really interested in what I have to say, and I don't blame them at all. It's more of the guy asked me to do it, so I do it. But I don't know. I think we all have decent stories of how we got to wherever we got, but sitting down and starting from scratch and telling your stories very hard to do. So I had some things that I wanted to say about,

you know, put your head down, And then when it was time to do it, I was like, you know what? They don't care. Whatever. And just give them an expedited story, I guess. I think it's good if you have some... It's almost like bullet points. At least to me, tangible, logical...

I remember once when I was in high school, they had a kid who was in our high school the year before. He was a big nerd, too. But he came to speak to our class about college. What's it like going to college? And one of the big things he told us, which wouldn't be relevant today, but it was bring a roll of quarters just because it's going to be hard to find change for the laundry. And I brought a roll, and damn, if that guy wasn't right. Just like a logical, tangible.

Yeah. This actually helps you. And I don't know that what you could do in radio. Yeah, you could speak like about your approach or something, but I don't know. There are tangible things like you always referenced TC and I not putting out episodes, you know, that we had recorded. I think that probably helped. Which to any degree at all, I don't. I'm sure.

Maybe people do it today, but it would surprise me given some of the. But when you talk about, you know, work ethic and are people that, you know, the way I try to frame that like to my kids is, is that you wouldn't believe how easy it is to stand apart. Like it was like one day and you knew TC was better than the others when I first had met him. Only that like if you asked him for a list of something, he would go type it out and put it in a certain order. Like it really looked nice. And if you asked somebody else, they might handwrite it real quick and just throw it at you. Like it's little things like that. And I think Blake is that kind of a guy.

And the thing I try to tell my kids, yeah, if you're hired to be a cash, year, well, just sweep up around your area then. I know that's not on your job description. Whether someone notices it or not is not the thing. But if that's just the kind of way you are, someone's going to notice it along the line. And they're going to say, this person does that tiny little extra bit. There's no reason to.

I didn't tell them to. But I'll remember that. No doubt. And now maybe kids glaze over if you're standing in a class saying that. But the point is to my kids is, it's very easy to find out, like intern Sam, the second he was there, and we had five interns that day. But within a couple days, I know, oh, this guy is, for some reason, he does things a little bit better. He cares a little bit more.

Belichick says. And that guy gets the first chance to get on the air. If there's some kind of bit, we're going to do it with that guy. Sure. You know, and that can lead you, and then he ends up getting a producer job at the ticket, right? Or whatever, weekend job. He's a doctor now. I know.

I think it's luck, his preparation. meets opportunity, right? It's a lot of luck and timing, for sure. But you can, if you're, if you get a chance and you don't clean up the area around your cashier, then you're not going to be able to cash in. You have to have both. Yeah. I just thought as I was sitting there was hard to just unprompted think of the things that I

do that are good. I mean, we're all bad self-promoters. Well, no, that's why you have to talk about other people. Yeah, and maybe I should have done that. Like the interns stand out because of it. For sure. It's like, it's really easy to. set yourself apart when you go work somewhere. Like you think it's hard, and I think it's not.

Yeah. I kind of just left him with two things. Like, one, you just hear the stories of Noah Eagle from the age of eight was calling games off of his TV and has recordings of it, or doing the stand-up in front of the mirror, or what have you. I was never that person, and you don't have to be that person to get into the industry. Like, I think I have a deferential personality. I think that's why I'm here for you, too, not for me.

There are places for people like that. And that's why Noah Eagle is where he is today, just because of that. There's no other reasons at all. Yeah, but then the other thing was just the first time you say no is the last time you're asked. And I really believe that. The first time you're unavailable or you can't do it or won't because you have other obligations, you're not going to get asked again. Yeah, that was pretty much my M.O. during the ticket, very much the whole time,

for sure early on. And I don't know if it was necessary or not because I missed a lot of stuff, but I kind of just look at it in the end, like, Rodovan, but it worked. Right. No, I'm with you. Yeah.

Regardless if I had a mass post-game show amusers or whatever, if I could just physically be at each place on time, I would do it. And it did matter what else I had going on. Yeah, that's a, there's another edge to that, which is, I guess that's your physical. location and can I do you be there yes I'll be there and I'll be there and you're there but you get the and I've gotten this with intern certain people that

we all know that they realize they they want to keep being asked so they say yes to everything but sometimes they can't handle that load and then they don't get it done and then you're like well don't say yes yeah if you can't get it done yeah and I guess that's where engineering is just a touch different because yeah if I had the gear and I could be there on time. I could physically do the labor. That's where maybe programming is just a touch different. Had one of those kids ever heard

of... Orthopedic Associates? You? Y'all? The tickets. No. Anything. Like, even the ticket. The kids are not aware of radio. Not really. No. Why would you ever turn on

the radio if you were a kid? I think at Jamie's class, Jamie Newberg's class, I've had maybe two or three guys whose dad's listen, but that's about it. And there are seniors at SMU. But no, mine are different because I get to go talk about sports. Like, the only awkward part of mine is like anything else.

It's when somebody else is talking about you. The intro. That is my crawl in a whole moment. But after that, mine, you just get to go talk sports. This guy bet on himself. Dude, it is. You hate that one. Holy, dude.

I can't. Just you saying that. I have a physical reaction to. Wouldn't you rather that? Then, okay, Jake, tell us your story. No, I would like to handle it. For sure. I don't want to tell my own story.

This guy's a unique, what am I, because you know what I'm not going to say? Yeah, I'm kind of a unique voice that is really cut through the noise of the muddled Dallas media. That's what, it's, yeah. Such a beating. Sports today will be brought to us by Game Day Men's Health. Game Day.Dumbzone.com. Steroids for life. They made it legal for life.

You're not playing pro sports. If you knew you could take steroids for life, you would. That's your... Yeah. You want to have more fun hanging out with your kids? Basically testosterone is that, right? There's a lot they can do there for you. And like, why did Andy Pettit say the steroid bid when he got caught?

It wasn't about like trying to look like Jose Canseco or bulk up. It was recovery. Injury recovery. It's much easier to recover. You feel better. And that's basically what you're allowed to do. Keep moving. Keep moving.

Keep enjoying your life. Be the best you. Game day. At dumbzone.com. 10% off that TRT for life. Did I mention that? Probably did. Well, the big story.

What is it? One year and a few days later. What a whirlwind. Tough to really feel. fully wrap your head around. We're trying to clean all the Luca trade off us. Right. You spewed your Luca trade all over me.

I timed it out. Wash the hair and I still got some more lucreid trade over here. And here it is. Okay. They somehow found someone some way to get rid of Anthony Davis. The Wizards are still in the league. Yeah, just when you think you're the dumbest franchise out there, you'll find another one. Not like they got a huge haul or anything.

It's funny when you read it. You're like, oh, two first round draft picks. You're kidding me. They got a better deal for Anthony Davis than they did for Luca. And then you see one is like top five protected. And then the Golden State one, I've never heard of this. It could vanish type thing. It's a top 20 protected pick.

Top 20? What world is this? Like, I hate the NBA. trades. I don't think you should be able to top whatever protected. Taking it out of the lottery is aggressive. Don't top 20? Yeah, I never thought about that. So it's basically it's a second round pick and that's what they're saying the other one is too because it's like an Oklahoma City pick next year.

I was like, all right, well Oklahoma City is probably minimum 25. Yeah. If not, I mean, they're very likely to be in the finals again. I mean, they could have a catastrophic injury and still probably pick in the bottom three or four because they've already done it. Right. So it's not. It's too terrible first round picks. But it doesn't really matter, right?

That's the thing is I think you have to grade it on a serious curve. You're not, this is not normal times. You're shedding baggage. You're shedding baggage. And you're changing your perspective because that was one of the things that I was really interested in after the Luca trade was, boy, how do you. go deal with other teams? Like, how does Nico be normal now? Like, I don't know that you can.

You know, I mean, I don't know that he could have foresaw that because he didn't foresee all the other stuff, you know, that made it such a big deal. But I just, like, what were they going to do? Who, who made sense to deal with? Were they viewed as a mark? Was he, it was just very confusing. Like, it just, and the answer was nobody was going to run the team. They just didn't do anything.

Did you see for, you know, quite some time? Did you see a report that said, like, the Mavs are, they're reluctant to deal with the Lakers? Yeah. Because of, but I couldn't, I saw the way they pantsed them. But I couldn't figure out if it was legit or not. I would say if that is the case at all, then they are running a foul of what I was going to give them props for today, which is just moving on. Because that, like, vision that they kept talking about of having flag. and Kyrie and AD out there together.

The only reason to want to see that is to be able to kind of say to yourself later if it worked, like, see, this wasn't like a total disaster. It's just trying to save grace of like... Remember the vision wasn't flagged. I know, but... The vision was AD and Kyrie, and that's kind of all you need in this world.

Like, it's incredibly... But they did get flagged. I like to think about the world where they didn't. But they did, and had that have worked out perfectly, it would have at least made it more palatable because you still would have traded AD but it would have been good basketball I guess it would have been I don't know if that exists

with Anthony Davis but it would have been exciting there would have been hey we're a playoff team before they bottom out now they're just fucking bottoming out like it's just over like that is kind of that's admitting like okay we screwed up once they landed flag that was the immediate thought of many basketball people

was you now have to gut everything around it like no no no but what if we wait for kairie and wait no no no you you have to gut it you have to and if you had told me a year later that they would have traded ad and fired nico and told me nothing else i would have thought that's pretty solid work like i don't know how you got out of this that quick i think a big part of it is that the fans are loud like i really do think that they're in almost publicly owned territory at this point where people are like,

fucking trade up, do it now. I won't come back until you do it. We're going to try to figure this out. They want to get people back in. That's to say nothing of kind of what I wrote about, the part I wrote about this morning, was just it's impossible to build a winning team

around Anthony Davis. Not now, ever. He's never been like good enough to be the best player because he's a weird player like Dirk was. was, but Dirk was Dirk. You know, you can't have that much, have to be done to get the most out of you. You have to be super good to be that guy, and he's not.

So whether it was fitting, you know, you want to build around Flagg, I just, no time of Cooper Flagg's career needs to be spent figuring out, how do we get a touch for AD on the block? That's a waste of everyone's time. So I'm glad they did it. Yeah. I'm still going to pay attention to them from afar, from arm's length at least. But I am interested in how this plays out because Dumont is a huge problem.

And it's a huge problem that he's involved at all just because, again, he's the guy that signed off on all of this. And now he's also the guy kind of leading everything else. Like he's leading the, he will make the final decision on who becomes the MAVS GM. He's going to have the final say on. if you have to get his approval to trade AD there. So even that is a bad thing. It's still kind of a mess.

Like, I don't know what Cuban's doing. Right. Is he leaning on him? Occasionally we hear from him. Is he, I told you sewing behind the scenes, or at least that would. He's trying to publicly look like a rah-rah Mavs operative, but it feels false to me.

Yeah, it's strange. It's strange, but all you know now is that they have a guy who is a legitimate freak and they don't have to account for anything else. Dude, I don't know. Come up with something crazy that I've never even seen before. Get five of him.

There's a chance five years from now you're like, the math's revolutionized basketball with this, whatever. But you're never going to be able to even take steps towards any of that if you've got him there. Well, I have a problem with kid being there too.

Yeah, that's a tricky one. Very tricky one, especially if he becomes the dude. GM. And just Cooper flagged to me, it just makes me sad when I look at him because I do think you know, apparently he's a great player, but

I just, it's still lacking that twinkle. Yeah, that's not coming back. That sizzle. That player Luca had it. I've never I mean, you know, I'm not there's very few guys that... Old, but I've never seen a player that takes

what Luca does to the level that he does. I've never seen that level of asshole and joy at the same time like never and so that's not it's pretty high bar in the same way that lucca was never going to be dirk this dude's never going to be lucca but his style of play is such that it's not like he's i don't know tray young or something where he's he's a he's a fun he's lebron kind of you know what i mean he's a he's a type of guy who plays above the rim all up and down the floor. Well, LeBron also had a little extra that twinkle type thing.

That's true. That's true. Do you see Cooper Flag ever becoming a, like, Luca was kind of like one of the next LeBron, you know? That's true. There's very few of these guys. I don't, at least Cooper Flagg doesn't track like that yet. But he's also not Kawhi.

You know what I mean? Like, he's got a little more, I think. I know, I think he's a couple of our buddies who do like the NFL film stuff and the Netflix deal, whatever. that we've had on filmed Dirk and Cooper Flag the other day for Amazon?

Yeah, yeah. When the trade went down. We'll see. Wow, really? Dang. Who made the trade? Finley? They say, McMahon said this morning the teams have been saying they were talking to Ricardy.

Homegrown? I mean, it might work, dude. the media will eat it up. I'll tell you that. If they hired a lifelong Mavs fan who's from DFW and puts him in a weird position of being people like, you were here, so what was your level of? And what can he say?

Even if he was totally out, is he like, yeah, fuck them. It's his boss. That's a tricky situation. Yeah, it's all tricky. We were talking off the air today because you were saying to me, I didn't read the article yet. but that it was kind of like almost in a recovery brain, right, of a move forward.

Not a card I like to play often. Don't look back. No, but I think that's an interesting way to look at this. Because, like, you know me as someone who kind of does look for it. Like, I'm not living in the past. I always, you know, I'm just very concerned about that, whether we're doing a show. and even when we were at the ticket, I was concerned about too much good old days of stuff we did 10 years ago

because we're working now. Like that diminishes almost what we're doing now for like, oh, man, the best thing we ever did was seven years ago. Like, no, no, no, we're about to do something like that again. Just keep thinking, keep going. But to me, it's also like, so I'm like that in general. I don't like to look back. Let's look forward.

Let's look at what we have right here. Let's not worry. How did your wife get so good at sex? If you decide she's good at sex or whatever sex athlete you like the most and she's so awesome at it. Did you train her from – maybe you did. Maybe you were Woodrow Wilson or whoever that was. Maybe if you're like a world elite.

It's very likely she might have run through the rugby team at college. Or she might – like there's stuff going on. You don't want to know about her past. You don't want to know. When you're younger, you kind of, you do and how many bodies, all that kind of, you don't. Just know what you have here. And whatever was in that past, was it abuse, was it lots of fun? Whatever it was, it led to the person she is now and then move forward.

And that's what I can't do with the Mavs. I can't do it because, I don't know. Maybe if I had watched my wife. Yeah Get hammered by three guys or whatever she did Maybe if I had Maybe if those guys are still hanging around Yeah

And they'd give me a wink every now and again When they saw me with her I'm like wait what? What do you mean? And they all yell at you You love this, don't you? The whole time you're sitting over there They fist bump me

Yeah Give me a Gatorade I don't like and yes But I got to look at Luca all the time And like it's all still out there And yeah I mean, even Cooper Flagg to me carries some of that. If they had drafted him this coming year after Nico, you know, it would feel different.

And I might be able to get on with Cooper Flagg. But it all happened in the same time period and it all reminds me of him. That's all fair. If I try to, here's another recovery. If I try to play the tape forward and think about possible outcomes, like if things go super awesome, then Dumont is like holding up a trophy and it's very hard for me to stomach the image of that and it also could require them like beating Luca

on the way to a championship or something and Dumont or kid God forbid I feel like if kid goes I'd really be back in but there's no chance they just signed him but he's kind of the last vestige of because owners suck they're not they F around they make mistakes he was new

he's a terrible person. Like I have, and I think a bad business man. But I don't, that's, that's an immovable object. Kid. Yeah, there's nothing you could do. Right. And so.

What kind of a letter writing campaign? I mean, I don't know. I'm refreshing. I'm on the J-mail, uh, email clone every day. Just control F. Kid. Kid. Two D's.

Kid. He's got to be in here somewhere. Nothing yet. Damn. But yeah. I think it's a necessary step, and they took it. So they could have not. They could have held on to some BS dream, and they didn't.

That's worth something. Let's continue on in sports. We have a big game. And, oh, look at this. This segment of the Dumb Zone brought to you by Community Mechanical. They don't forget about the V in HVAC. Thanks, football voice man. It's communitydfW.com. That's how you get in contact with Travis and me boys. They are the HVAC company of us, of Brandon Aubrey, and of you. We hear nothing but great things about the dumb zone customer from community mechanical.

It's about preventative maintenance. You get them to come out and get you on that preventative maintenance plan. That way, if anything goes wrong, you're already hooked up. You can play me off. if you want. No, no. CommunityDFW.com. Sign up for preventative maintenance. You get a new HVAC unit. You'll get a sit-in.

You get a preventative maintenance. You get a little bit of merch. Everybody wins with the dumb zone and community mechanical. Yes, indeed. So... I'm going to try not to have to pee. Jeez.

I know. It's so bad. I went right before we started. There's a problem. It's a problem. I barely drank any water since the start of the show. It is a problem.

That's a tiny blood. I just got my prostate, at least the blood. I'll check it. Okay, well, let's finish sports. Then we'll break and then we'll do viewer mail. Because I know we wanted to do viewer mail before the break, but... It's insane. I'm sorry.

I'm a problem at work. I'm just glad you're not on a trampoline. Get the mop. But, yeah, the big game is Sunday. Really a weird... I don't know, it's all weird. I mean, the NFL's the king. But then you look at Seattle and New England.

Who's the most famous person in the Super Bowl? Player? Yeah. Or a coach. I heard some people debating this. Oh. I'd go with Vrable. What do you think?

Drake May? Outside Dark Horse shot, no pun intended. Stefan Diggs, maybe, because he's dating or is with Cardi B. and he's been on like maybe other good teams. But it might, I mean, I think it will be JSN. He has the. Oh, well, who's the best player? That's different, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, but I mean, Jackson Smith and Jigba has like marketing. He'll be in Little Caesar's commercials next year. Yeah, for sure. But right now. But right now, Donald would be another. It's tough that you're in Seattle. Yeah, but Donald was in New York. He was a, you know, a big-time pick from a big-time college.

But I guess the point is just, it's very different. There's no chief stars, Jalen Hertz. It's weird. It's a different time. I mean, the Patriots' entire roster is just guys other teams could have had. Or did have and didn't want, you know? That's kind of why you really think Drake May is great. Drake May and it seems like Braybill is, like, very involved in roster building.

Yeah. Like everything they did worked out. Okay, who's the more beaten franchise right now? Minnesota or Tennessee? Minnesota. For looking at, because Tennessee also was like, yeah, we're going to let Brable walk. Watch this. And they've just gone to just to hell.

What was the guy's name? They would always play ahead of. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bill Callahan's son? I can't remember his name. Brian? Brian. One foot.

One foot. They would always outperform what they should. They made the playoffs. They were, you know, always just a solid team under Vrable. And yeah, he had Tannahill. That was a, yeah, that whole thing seems like it was a. But they still made the playoffs with him. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but missing on, it's not so much that they missed on quarterback because I don't think Sam Donald is better this year than he was last year. I mean, the logic in what they're saying is it's just about measuring how close you think you are, like how good you are to being a team that can contend. And if you think, like, we're pretty close. If we can just get average quarterback play, certainly it's not crazy to expect that.

Their premise was Sam Darnold is not the reason we've won 14 games. They were not wrong about that. But if they bombed the quarterback pick, then it's really tough to get out of that. Well, we haven't really seen a team, yeah, be able to just plug in the quarterback after quarterback, right? That's our dream, isn't it? The Chip Kelly dream? Look, it's his system. Yeah, I mean, but we don't have to pay quarterbacks 50 million.

We can somehow trick the rest of the league. We'll pay them 20. You're 25. I think there's a middle ground, though, because somehow you have to get to the point that Baker and Sam Donald got to to be able to step into another team and be able, there is still a, they're not robots, right? They're not widgets.

The quarterback needs to be able to be in charge. I'm not saying he has to be at a place for several years to be able to do that, but I think they have to have done it for a while to be, for it to be transferable to another team. Like Baker could show up in Tampa Bay and it's all good because, hey, I've done this before. But in the old Chip Kelly plan where we were just replaced. Exactly. Sam Donald, too.

But in the Chip Kelly dream, it was like, we could just replace the quarterback with a draft pick every... Yeah, running back. You're getting the cheap contract. The middle ground is like the guys we're talking about. Would you say the closest thing to that might be Shanahan in San Francisco? Although, you know, obviously, Trey Lance was garbage in San Francisco. Is a really weird data point on the Shanahan, you know, ideological approach.

But I guess you just have to allow for that. Every now and then, no matter how strong your system is, somebody's going to get horny AF and be like, this is the one. Like it makes me wonder how good is... Brock Purdy? Because that's what I've been asking you for two years. Yeah, but no, Mac Jones. Yeah.

What if Mac Jones went to the Seahawks and played the whole year? Would they be as good? This year? Yeah. No. Okay. Because he was pretty good. in San Francisco.

He was pretty good. But San Francisco's offense, I feel like, has a little bit more than Seattle's offense talent-wise. Really? I don't know. I mean, they were obviously- Seattle's got banged up. Running backs?

I don't know. I feel like Donald made some big-time throws this year when you needed to. He turns the ball over a lot, but I don't remember seeing Mack Jones with the Niners and being like he's winning this game ever. JSN is incredible. He is incredible. And it got better as the year went on. that was a note I had from that weekend that you ever think like in the NFL over the course of a weekend just randomly one thing seems to happen a lot and that weekend it was receivers in the backfield and they they're getting the ball it's like a hundred percent of the time it was like puka js and i can't remember who it was in the afc's digs it's like they're throwing them the ball so now they probably won't

But, yeah, they do have a guy they can put anywhere. But I don't know. Donald's a great story. I'm excited about it. Like, I think he's easy to root for. You sprinkling a little taste on anyone? You know, I should, but I kind of, I talked to my pastor about it. Doesn't feel like the right time.

With everyone leaning Seahawks, it makes me want to go Patriots. Let's go. Well, you're getting, you know, a bushel of points. but I mean it's a nerve it's a way to say it but the Patriots are like not a great football team they make the game ugly well the Seahawks have an incredible defense yeah and that's usually the way to go in the Super Bowl

unless you yeah I mean unless you're playing Mahomes and you're like all right well I guess I'd still take that guy but Drake may you know may we keep saying that end up being that guy every week it's like oh they haven't played anybody and then they go win well they haven't played anybody anybody. Of course, then they got Denver without Bo Nicks. They just, yeah, they didn't play great in either of those last two games.

Oh, Houston, even Houston, yeah. That's fine. If you win, like you said, that's all that matters. But if you're trying to predict future results. I think that's the game they want to play, man. And the Super Bowl could be very ugly. Yeah. The Patriots are just going to run the ball. They're not going to let the Seahawks rush the passer.

It's going to be the Broncos game, but without the snow. The number one ratings killer or interest killer would just be a cavalcade of darn old moments concentrated into like a 25-minute period and the game's just over. Dude, I've... What do you mean, darnal moments? We're at a point now where, like, T.C. and I went and saw him in college, and it feels

like it was 15 years. I've watched this guy play football. We all have a lot. It happens very fast. Maybe it's only happened a couple times. I feel like I've seen him do it six, seven times. 20 minutes, the game is over. Just, we lost.

Drops the ball. The force is a pick. I don't know. He seems like he's got a propensity for it, but they'll grind it down. Well, we're doing a game stream. We're carrying the turning point halftime show. Yep. With Kid Rock.

Are we doing a half Blake? Yes. So game stream on the YouTube channel this Sunday. Connie Rosa will be out here, I think, with their Pilf catering group. Side hustle. They're setting up their, so sometimes they'll bring out the pizza oven, but they're bringing out the, I had to burp. I know. The burger grill.

They actually have a burger grill. Burgers and fries. They're like the best fries you'll ever have. Fantastic. Oh, yeah. And Blake's going to be here. I know. Blake hasn't got to witness any of the great.

I know, I've just heard about it. The Qualis drone will be flying high overhead, just like the Goodyear Blimp used to over big events. Now the weird thing is we're inside, so I guess it's just going to video the roof. You can video the burgers. That fits with Qualis, of course. And then what was the other thing? Oh, Lone Star Beer. Of course, we'll be well-stocked with Lone Star Beer and Lone Starlight.

And we invite you to check out Lonestarbeer.com. They have a code, Dumb Zone 21. And that way you get 21% off your merchandise. But Lone Star Beer, long-time sponsor of ours, a good partner, and we love us, some Lone Star beer. Couldn't have the game streams without the nice Lone Star beer and the Lone Star Light. And, you know, you drink a lot of it, and you might have to go to the bathroom. Like... The Zums, Zoh, Dums, don't even mute it.

I got to tell you, boys, I couldn't be more excited about this jump. When people hear me describing it over the radio, they are going to remember. that AM radio is a viable and modern source for news and entertainment. Totally. I used to be number one in this town, but people don't listen to AM like they used to. It seems like it's more about FM and color TV. That's stupid.

Now, Rod, I've spent the station's last $15,000 on this, so it has to be a big success. You understand? You can count on me, sir. Excellent. This is the big one, boys. This is the one that brings us back. Soon AM Radio will reign King once more.

You're listening to The Dumb Zone. I forgot to mention that it is Neighborhood Ladies' Night. Ho! Which I found out this morning. So that's the, you know, so now the wife goes to that. That's walking distance. That means she might get sauced up a little more than she usually would at book club. Oh, yeah?

So you kind of got to save it up just in case a little sexy time. You never know. In case a can of snakes? Yeah. It can go either way. You know, when she comes home from that, it's funny. It's straight to dead or bed or, you know, hey. It's funny how life spectrum works where there's a time where you're like, I got to do this beforehand.

All right. Now it's, God, if I do, I'll be it. I've only got... Probably fall asleep. We got one. Yeah. We got one. And where is it going to be?

Could be alone. Most likely. We'll be spent alone. Hey, that reminds me of flooring direct DFW. Yeah. Because they were doing a... They were having a contest. And they won the little Olympics for their pros.

And just how nice they were when they deal with you. Oh, I was waiting for the nicest pros in the service industry. Our pros are the nicest. We've got the best prices at Flooring Direct. Now, the last part you probably really care about, right? The best prices. Yes. Yes.

That's Flooring Direct DFW. FlooringDefW.com slash DZ. That's how you get in touch with Dan Ratcliffe over there. He and his team, which includes Rick Renner.

Interesting. That's in the thing?

Yeah, apparently Trump's one of his golf courses has a 19th hole and it's not a bar. it's a par three that's there to settle bets for real kind of cool right yeah they buried some ladies under there it doesn't make it now less cool that that hole like you definitely want to play in that hole it might make it more cool yeah let's go over there and settle the bets on the graveyard of

anyways want to do some VM that's industry term for viewer mail just one tiny sip We get email every week. And then on Thursday, we play it somewhat to Matt Brunig's dismay, but you know what? You can't like everything. No, that's how this all works.

I'm just too classy to criticize anyone in public, though. It's key disclaimer there. I will never. I would never. You think Brad does a great job. Let's see here. Oh, I got some follow-up stuff. This actually came to me in a DM from Substack,

from someone named Austin who writes, Notorious V-A-G. Catherine O'Hara was totally hot in Home Alone. She was only 36, even though 90s movies made chicks look 20 years older for some reason. They just did. That's not movies. Those are real people that play them.

Life. John Candy was only 40. Also, spiking the football is intentional grounding. The holder is down. Punting is gay. However, what wouldn't be gay is if each team's punter also had to field punts. Love it. Bonus if it's just one-on-one from Austin.

That's a great idea. That is a great. You ever see that jackass sketch? Now. Johnny Knoxville, this field's a punt. It's Tennessee's football team. But it would have to be. That means it's the most morphed player, right?

The most... I'm just saying, would you have Cavante Turpin punt? Oh. Okay, if he could pun it at least... It's a strategy decision. Yeah, like, okay, the better punter. Right. But you have to declare before the game,

and that's all you got to use this guy. Man, that's great. Like, Bangor is never going to return punter. punts. You're going to have to have somebody who is a better returner be the punter. I don't know, man. It's a fascinating question because there's going to be a lot of chicken and egg here.

Some teams may decide that if you can get a punter that can punt the ball out of bounds consistently. That's more valuable than a return. But then what you need anger to be able to do is field a punt. Right. Which is hard, but if you never have to think about returning it, all you. you have to do is think about fielding it, adding in the implied some of these are going to roll past you and go out of bounds.

But everyone's a fair catch, right? Because he doesn't want to start running after. Everyone is a fair catch. And his heels are on like the 15. Like, not even the 10. It's very interesting. I bet anger would love it. Write that down for the next Brandon Aubrey show.

Okay. I like that. I got some feedback on Ken Griffey Jr.'s baseball game we were talking about. Did you guys ever, did you see, I tweeted out the list of the roster? There's some really funny ones on there. For the Rangers, it's S. Bowie, S. Houston, D. Crockett, T. Alamo. Okay. R. Lee, and Ulysses, which I, U.S. or U.T.od, which I just, I don't know who that is,

unless that's like Ulysses S. Grant's middle name, but then P. Via. They needed like a Latino name, so they went with Pancho Villa. Oh, okay. On the team's roster. Drop Beth emailed. Very upset, as Drop Beth can get. You know, ladies. She's disregarding our YouTube page, I believe.

She says, love you. Please know the typos are getting excessive. Most recently, you listed January 30th as 113, January 213. January 29th as 119 and just some other stuff. And what was interesting to me is she emailed us this the very night that Blake talked about a big influence on his career, Ed Wallace, who always had to have things done perfectly.

And that's why I do everything perfectly. That's why I am the best at what I do. If I remember the segment correctly, pretty much what Blake said, word for word. And then that very evening, drop Beth pointing out a couple of errors. Is this not you? First,

past us to T-P. First, Beth, get off my ass. Yeah. There you go. Second, for Ed Wallace's show, I was the engineer, and it was clear in my duties. I also didn't have to do 100 other things for the Ed Wallace show. So if I'm a touch overworked and I have a typo,

I'm very sorry. Which week and where was the show the day that Ed taught you how to make excuses? That said, you know what, if you have more to do than just the engineering, then you don't have to do everything right. This is great for me because I could not care less. I think shout out to Beth because I think she's scratching an itch that she likes to be able to tell somebody they're wrong about something and I'm here to serve. I couldn't care less about this if I tried.

But it's also funny to watch Blake. Get a little caged. Buck back. That was nice. This is something that I heard from a couple of people, but we're going to go with Derek's email. And I think this is something that happens a lot where, because I didn't grow up as a baseball guy, you know, it's assumed that you two seamheads over there just have all the answers. And if I'm not sure about something, then you guys, you know, come on, dude. You grow up at the diamond.

You did not. You guys tried to tell me the other day about Pat Tabler and his statistics with the bases loaded. I did not. Well, that's why I didn't pull the audio, because I'd rather remember that you did. Me? Yeah, no, he brought it up, and you were...

So the issue here is that Dan is saying Pat Tabler had the best batting average, the best ops against or with runners, with bases loaded, ever, minimum 100 attempts. I was like, a hundred attempts? like with the bases loaded? That seems insane. Like how many of bats would you have to have to have that?

And that's because he didn't. He had 83. And he was 43 of 84, 83. That's because nobody has a hundred. You're saying he has 83 at bats ever with the bases loaded? Yes. No, you're an idiot. This guy's also an idiot.

Okay. Because. You're saying it was minimum overall 100. at-bats to qualify for the bases loaded at bats? No. He had 100 bases loaded at bats. Why it says 83... The walk?

Is because if you walk, it is not listed as an official at bat. So tell this guy to go back to the football field. Hell yeah. And where the non-thinking man... Oh, now Blake's on my side. Yeah. Hell yeah. Screw these people.

Fett. So it would be your fault for not saying plate appearances then. Oh, he might Well, I probably did. He might have. So how about you shut up, too? So I wonder who would have the most. Well, I mean, think of like Arod had like 20 or 30 grand slams in his career.

You think he did that in 40 at bats? No. Yes, he had many at bats. You have 600 at bats a season. Yeah, but I mean, you're not, unless you're Barry Bonds or maybe Arod, if you're walking him, I still don't think statistically you're ending up with. And I'm trying to look it up right now. Like, who has the most?

Career at-bats with the bases loaded? Yeah. I'm telling you, bro. I saw this guy, this clown's email. Well, I'm sorry. I forwarded it to freezing cold takes. I will go back over to the Jugs machine. I love the way you led that, too.

Yeah, of course. There's no other option. Now, I got a couple emails. Pat Tabler is 68. He was a Cleveland Indian, and I was really into Pat tabler when I was a kid because he is the Major League Baseball all-time leader for on-base percentage with the bases loaded and minimum 100 at bats. That's what Dan said.

He has 109 plate appearances with the bases loaded. That seemed to me like if that means that if he's got that many. He's reading something. Yeah. There's a bunch of other guys would have a couple hundred and that seemed insane to me. Oh yeah. The idea of a couple hundred times of the bases loaded in your career statistically doesn't. really compute to me.

They play a lot of baseball. It feels like you'd remember all of them. They do play so much baseball. Five at bats a game. I guess that's what we're learning. They've got like over 10 or 20 games. Especially back then. Yeah.

I got this from many people, but I'll give the credit to Jenny Z. Go to settings, accessibility, display, and text size, reduce transparency. That makes the iPhone update somewhat bearable. Nice. I also got this from our mathematician friend. He used to call himself P1N.

Regarding shrimp. Yeah, I've got something on this. He said Payne Stewart was not done in by dry ice-cooled shrimp. He and passengers died of a combo of hypoxia and hypothermia from a defective seal, which led to a depressurization event. As you know, from studying your ideal gas law where PV equals NRT, you can clearly see there's a direct relationship between temp and pressure. When you suddenly have a depressurization, you immediately lose temperature through a process known as

adibiotic cooling. The Air Force pilots that were tailing the plane reported the windows were frosted over on the inside of the plane, indicating a loss of pressure in sub-zero attempts inside. You are safe to have dry ice-cooled shrimp regardless of Clayton's claims. So I looked it up, and it does appear that it's just a – I don't know if it's a conspiracy theory, but there are people out there that say – like they interviewed a guy who worked on the crew for the plane or on the ground, they're like, you know, some people say it was because they opened up the dry ice in there for their shrimp, and that's what did it. Who knows?

Who knows? So when I was reading about that, and this is a bit of a curveball T.C. Because it's eventually going to work its way to the Curtis Strange thing. But as I was reading about that and Payne Stewart, I went on a bit of a hunt because in October of 1999, I bring you this lead. U.S. Open champion Payne Stewart refused further comment Friday on his use of a mock Chinese accent in a television interview. At which point I'm activated, right? Kemp's spin.

Here's a thing, though. It was the national car rental classic at Disney World, so finding this was always going to be next to impossible. Incidentally, Tiger won. So I did think I had like a small chance at it. Like any video that exists? Dude, I spent an hour knowing the whole time I wasn't going to find it. I hit up Bob. Like, I know you get like, does anybody have all of Tiger's wins somewhere?

Because this is like during a rain delay. Wow. That's why this ended up happening. Is they're just filling time? Was it on Fox? I was on ESPN. Oh. So I guess Peter Alice, the golfer commentator, he had made some comments about how the Americans are nothing like the British golfers.

Like they're just different. You might as well be a different, you know, they don't compare them at all. Alice told the Daily Telegraph, Americans are totally different. They might as well be Chinese in their eyes. Pretty much everything in Europe is rubbish. Everything, everything is crap. And that begins to wear on you after a while. Now to pain.

squinting his eyes and sticking out his teeth. I just want Peter Alice to know that all of us American golfers on the Ryder Cup team, we are Chinese too. Thank you very much. I'm winning for the voice. Who wants to do it? The minority? It's a fun voice.

But so I looked for that forever, right? And I couldn't find it. So then I found something else that I think you would find interesting because this got me down. A tiger rabbit hole. and there's a video of Tiger, speaking of like just being condescending, with the golfer Curtis Strange. Oh, Jim Locke's crazy.

I think Curtis Strange is, thank you for that. I think you're like a two-time U.S. Open winner. Like I think you want it back to back in the 80s. So this is him interviewing Young Tiger. And I have the visual for you because I feel like it helps just dripping with condescension, condescension. condescension condescension that Curtis Strange has for a young tiger. What would be a successful week here in Milwaukee?

996. Two things. I play four solid rounds. We'll go off to a good start today. If I can do that for three more days, I'll be very happy. And a victory would be an awfully nice too. A victory. Do you think, to me, to me,

that comes off as a little cocky or brash, especially talking to the, you know, the other guys on tour that have been out here for years and years and years and, you know, certainly an incredible amateur record, but what do you say to those guys? Well, I... When you come out here, you know what I'm saying, your first pro tournament, you say, you know, I can win. Oh, I understand that. I've always figured that why go to a tournament if you're not going there to try and win?

There's really no point in even going. That's the attitude I've had my entire life, and that's the attitude I will always have. As I would explain to my dad, second sucks, and third's even worse. That's just a feeling I have. But on tour, that's not too bad sometimes, though. That's not too bad, but I want to win. That's just my nature. You'll learn.

Oh, yeah. I'm just kidding you. I'm sorry, I had to say that. Yeah, yeah. No, you're not kidding at all. You think you're putting... smiles afterwards, but kind of a tense conversation. 21-year-old tiger in his place.

That's awesome. Yes, and he also did the... You'll learn. The... A lot of people are saying. The wussy move, yeah. What do you say to those guys? Those guys were pissed off.

Those guys... As he, like, flared up. Right. Well, the second he said, I'm... Also, it'd be nice to walk away of the victory. He, like, laughed under his breath. Like, okay. Okay, son.

That fired me up. I wanted you to see it. Boy, that was wonderful. Some people are saying. I'll hit you with another quick one. Harold, friend of the dumb zone, son of Doyle King, my coaching partner in soccer and to a degree basketball. He works for wire will now. I said it correctly.

He told me that he was in someone's home, I believe, on the Friday after Thanksgiving. No, it was a business. And it wasn't a business that had any specials running. And the guy said, happy Black Friday. and it feels like really unnecessary unless you're going to tell me that this is 20% off or I don't know it seems like a weird thing to call out to another adult

or really anyone I've never heard it. I've never heard anyone say that before. Start doing Happy Arbor Day. I've got one from John. He sends me a picture of a book. This book is called The Dirty Tricks Department. It's written by

John Lyle. And this is what it says. The Japanese had destroyed 350 planes and damaged or sunk nearly two dozen Navy vessels, including five battleships. They're talking about Pearl Harbor. Next paragraph says, the next day, Roosevelt addressed a joint session of Congress

to ask for a formal declaration of war on Japan. Steel braces locked his knees in place so he could deliver the speech standing up. Okay. Wow, it's Vindication Thursday. How about that? Now, it also seems like they kind of set him up. Proped him.

Yeah, not like, he didn't stand up, whipped off the blanket and heroically. They installed him to his desk. Like, they fashioned him to it. Hannibal Lecter thing. He was in that. Yeah. Maybe he was standing there when they all came in. Yeah.

He's just been up there the whole time. And welcome in, everyone. Welcome in. But it is, it does rule that it is not America, it's any country. You're just way more fired up to go die if a guy will just get up out of his bum-ass wheelchair. You're like, all right, he means it. He's committed. Let's work in a gummy thought or two into viewer mail.

Brought to us by Early Bird CBD. Early Bird CBD is the CBD. It's not your grandpa's CBD. No. Now maybe that dude making out would, the hot 80-year-old on the couch, maybe he's doing this, because it has 2.5 milligrams of natural THC.

And that's the kind of stuff. It's the kind of stuff that makes it good. And it's also the kind of stuff that if you get drug tested at work, number one, why are you working there? But then you don't want this. This is the good stuff. This is the real. You'll take that edge off at night.

Dumb Zone 20. Did I mention that? dumb zone 20 is the code 20% off at early bird CBD.com So and if you've used our code in the past, we had DZ20 in the past. You'll still get the fresh new 20% off. I got a quick one from Brad. A gummy thought? Yeah.

The first person and or people to figure out something we consider fairly mundane now. Like the first person to ever figure out oatmeal as a food. food. It's kind of crazy when you think about it. You're just kind of eating whatever grows out of the ground. And then one day, some person who wants to run the spread offense is like, yeah, but what if we grind all this shit up and add some water in a little heat? The other people had to look at him like he was crazy, getting his oats all wet. What a dumbass. His kids were like, stop doing this in public. It's embarrassing. But secretly, they loved the oats. So they ate it at home. Do you know the cornflake story? No. It was at a sanitarium of some kind. Okay. This came up on the show the other day if we're talking about the same thing then.

Kind of. Because Kristen read a book about somebody who was around the Post and Kellogg's guy a lot. And if it was the Kellogg's guy, he was H.O. Hunt crazy and had like the first, like, rehab center maybe. Like it was a sanitarium, but they weren't putting drills in your head. They were having you eat healthy. Is that the same place? Yeah, and they were making the oats, and they left them in too long. And then it looked like a cornflake, and they said, you know what?

This works. Damn. Bented cereal. Yeah, you wonder how many things are just accidents. Yeah, I mean, the obvious one is we always do, who licked the frog. Yeah. But if you think, yeah, we've had oats forever, but somebody was like, watch this. Check this out.

I mean, all, yeah. If you trace back all food, right? All food that you make is, you decided to try to bite a cow or, like, how? Well, I guess I just, I think that, like, protein as energy is innate, it seems. Every, almost every animal does it. I'm talking on my ass here, I know. But the idea of, and we didn't have bread for most of human history.

Yeah. So. How did they figure that one? out. That's a great question. But a lot of trial and error on that. And it's in the days when, well, there's nothing to do all day. Well, I can't wait until it gets dark and to see if that star is 0.3 millimeters to the left of

where it was last night. Yeah. Now we can argue with our buddies over what the, no, that's a big dipper. I don't know. I got one that looks a little similar, but it's not the quite size. You think they were debating, like, whether or not Eursa Minor belonged in the Hall of Fame? Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so that's the kind of stuff you think about when you go to Early Birdcbdcbd.com and use DumbZone 20.

I got a bad bit from Jordan, who says my daughter goes to pre-K and the school sent an email telling parents that they would put out boxes for each of the staff members near the front desk for us to put gifts for our favorite staff members. I'm all for getting a teacher a Christmas gift Excuse me They spent a lot of time with my child It's weird that they ask for it But whatever But this school asks for gifts For the front desk and the directors as well

It gets worse though They don't just do it for Christmas They did it for Halloween And then I just got an email for Valentine's Day He says adults asking for Halloween And Valentine's Day gifts Of course we didn't do it. Even my wife thought it was S.G.

What are they Somalian? Thanks for listening. Still waiting to see my Whataburger graduation picture with T.C. From Jordan. So have we just took all those pictures and then never did anything with them? They're in a montage. What the hell are you talking about? Yeah, he doesn't.

It's okay. Yeah, we made like a bunch of cool stuff. What, like on Instagram? Was he expecting us to frame it and send it to his house? I don't know. We can get you... Why are you yelling at Jordan? Why?

We can get your specific... Because he's ungrateful. Oh, this guy's... He's one of my favorite emailers. If it's a he. I think it's a he, because it says his wife, right? But... I got the rail by the Waterburger thing.

A girl can dream. What was email about? I got the rail by the Waterburger. Gifts for teachers. Yeah, that's insane. That's really... I mean, I guess it's... It's hard for people like...

Like, just... Good Samaritans like... us to have to imagine this, but it's really weird to say we are putting these out here demanding gifts, because I would just give it. I don't know that I would do Halloween, St. Patrick's Day, Arbor Day, whatever, but I'll give, we give a nice gift to the teacher for Christmas, and I assume everyone else does, but they obviously don't, otherwise they wouldn't need to put the boxes out. But how impersonal is that? Just throw this shit in this box, we'll get it to him. To the director?

Yeah, that's really, really strange to me. We have a unique situation on this one. Jehovah's Witness teacher. Oh. What does that mean? No gifts. They don't do gifts? People are always trying to give her gifts.

They won't accept a gift? No. She can't. I knew they didn't. She can't just hand it to someone next to her? I think that people have said that if you say like it's a Tuesday gift as opposed to a Christmas gift, it goes better. God, everybody's got their work around. Everybody.

Yeah. We'll justify our actions, things we really want to do. Yeah. I have one more. Let's see. So if you guys have some to. Yeah, let's throw up the one. This one's kind of a visual bit, but I thought it was funny.

This comes to us from, where is my, Jenkins? This is the Uber image T.C. This is just a guy you photoshopped looking at Uber on Saturday. Saturday 9, you've got Uber X, a white car comfort, a white car black with a black car, and then it says Uber line free. It's a photo of... Uber line. Complementary Snickers bar.

Always free. And then from James, who works in construction. I work with the GC who was walking a construction site in South Lake at the end of the day and fell from the second floor to the first. his crew found him dead the next morning with lizards crawling out his eyes like Bart Starr's non-quarterback son I'm telling you guys He didn't actually die right

He just fell him No this guy didn't have lizards involved But it says his crew found him dead the next morning Yes he fell Hit his head My heroes don't die Yeah okay Mega Men over here Second floor.

My last one is a why Hillary lost. Good. Sup, homos. Good start. I have a submission for W.H.L. Disclaimers. That's what he's saying, why Hillary lost.

He will go on to explain. My wife was watching a show on Paramount about a high school senior woman lady girl who got kidnapped by her teacher. Okay. At the end of the episode, there was a disclaimer about if you worry about the safety of a child, call this number or some such horse shit.

Compare this to an episode of Criminal Mind, circa 2010-ish, that was on while I was cooking in the kitchen. Keep in mind this was a network TV show. One of the characters delivers a line, quote, that's when the unsub inly raped his victim or something similar. No disclaimer. So, disclaimers. On why Hillary lost, this is from Elias.

Now, and I know LSAO deals with this a lot, Blake, TC2, we see a lot of disclaimers because Disney has them on every old movie. And for a certain period of time, that's all my daughter was watching. It's still about half of what she watches. South Park even kind of has a disclaimer now. And it's not the old one. Not the premise. They still have the same open, but it kind of says something different now. but the Disney one they leave it they leave the content up there though I mean I've I found

kids and jingle all the way yelling the F slur on there the other day and I mean dude from a like if you're just able to laugh at it the racist comedy in Disney movies is top notch like their per their racist portrayal of the Siamese cats oh we are siamese If you please. We are siamese if you don't please. But there's a disclaimer that's like it was wrong then and it's wrong now. Okay, then I will do this last one here. That's a definite why Hillary lost.

This comes to us from Colton. It's a really confusing email. I sent some follow-ups hoping I'd have them by the day I did not. He says, I recently spent a few days in the hospital thanks to cannabinoid hyperamesis syndrome apparently you can just

smoke too much weed and go like nuts oh I don't know I looked it up I've never heard of this before smoking or gumming now it probably is that

because it feels like that's the easy way to dose yourself to the moon yeah yeah just you know when certain gummies are hey that's the same size this one is 50 This one is 10.

That can throw you off. So I've heard. He said chain do an IV clinging to life and sick of calling for every nurse every time I had to pee. I thought, W.W.J.D., what would Jake do? That's when I realized the IV line gave me just enough freedom to handle business, but not enough to reach the bathroom. I chose chaos. Here's the pictures. Is this simply practical or horrible?

So wait. He's in the, this guy? He's in a hospital bed, chain to an IV, and he can't get to the bathroom, but you can arc it over to the sink. And it just gets me thinking this is something that... He sends a picture of himself in the room. I guess he was high. Yeah.

I don't know how long it lasts. People, you should just try this week and we can, especially you if your wife's not here, pee in the sink. No. Just try it. Why? Why not? You'll find, you'll find it's very...

I put my stuff to my dishes in there. No. I'm not not... I typically don't do the kitchen set. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Let me just back this up because you said, especially because your wife's good. Do you think the only thing holding me back from peeing in a sink?

It's the only thing holding me back? Is that I married? Are she gone? You are an idiot. Whip it out. All right. Let's talk about something that would help you. Ownwell.

Ownwell. is how to attack those pesky property taxes. They get bigger every year. They get my dad up. You did? My dad up with Onwell. So what does that mean? What did you do?

I took three minutes, and I signed up my 69-year-old dad. So you go to Ownwell.com slash the Dumbzone? I sure did. And what did you sign up for? A whole shebang. Just trying to get the property taxes down, so they'll attack that for you? I told them about the $7.00. $1,700 check that I got at the end of the year.

I didn't do a damn thing. Own well hooked it up. Nice. You've been a customer for a minute. Oh, yeah. All right. Average savings of about $1,100, 86% of customers get their taxes reduced. You only pay you own well.

If they save you money, it's a no-lose proposition. They want to help you own well at own well.com slash the dumb zone. Like owning your house. And you could do it good. I was yesterday years old. The proper way to say good. You know, own good. That sounds stupid, right?

Here's Jane with the Dug Zone News. Well's an adverb. News, news, news, news, news. Yeah, there you go. We got that guy. We got to do it. Oh, we got that guy sitting here with us. Spot the Gerund.

Yeah, we talked about it a little bit off the top, but Savannah Guthrie's 84-year. year old mother is gone, kidnapper. Is that me? Why is it playing out of the... What's going on? What's going on? Not me.

Why would it... Why does he keep at... This is... Do you deal with this with your wife, too? Yeah. Why doesn't the remote working? Why... I'm over...

I'm in the kitchen. You're like in the other room. I wasn't asking. I was out loud, bothered. And I do the same thing. I just let them figure it out. It's their problem. At some point you'd like to think that the computer that you pay all the money for,

you wouldn't have to, every time you plug something in, change this setting, unplug, change the setting. No, I often will hear my wife then pass the buck on to something else. Yep. And think technology only hates them. Right. Like, no one else can figure out this TV. No. As I look at my glass.

Liquid. Little John's adult son is missing. Okay. This is the time for jokes. Are we sure that his was kidnapped? He's 27. But he's missing. Was he kidnapped?

Was there signs of foul play? No. Oh, okay. He's just missing. Dude, yeah, but I'm trying to create a wave and a hysteria, and I got one lady who I know her mom got kidnapped, and I got another celebrity who's missing a kid. I feel like it's our job as 26 media members to be like, whoa.

What are the chances they ran away together, and right now they're in a hotel. I'll give you somebody made that joke. Yes. Through his chest hair right now. We got a couple of follow-ups on the fight down in the Hill Country at a high school is Hays, ISD, and a few other. Good God, I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you.

Why, if I mute it, why can I still hear it? I don't know. I don't know what you do with your computer to make a hate you. People listening can't hear it, though. They can't? No. Okay, I thought it would be picked up by my mic. You download the ad blocker, the pop-up blocker, you install the extensions, you do everything.

All for nothing. All for nothing. So we did this story on Tuesday when we had the video of a man who got out of his big bad special ops pickup truck and approached some teens who had decided to walk out of their high school to protest ice and an ice facility near their high school. and don't have video of how it started but one way or another he ended up in the middle of them and it's believed that he started this altercation because he was arrested yeah yeah no I saw a video

kind of showing him walking out of his truck goes for the girl first yeah he's like going right at the kids yeah like he certainly got a little physical and he got beat up yeah and then they all kind of ran their friend's defense. Yeah, so he was arrested,

and there are about 40 teens who they say will face discipline for this. And it's funny, the WFA story that I read about it, about the discipline, doesn't mention anything about the fight. Doesn't it feel like a pretty important part of the news story? Like all of it. But they're being disciplined for what then? For walking out. They're just trying to get to the media and let them know we're not letting them get away with this, you know?

Because the governor's very pissed. He's so mad that I saw last night. He stood up. I got propped up. Yeah, the guy was arrested in Buda. That's the way I say it. They say Buddha. Yeah.

Okay. Anyways, an armored car employee was shot outside of a Bald Springs bank from the makers of, how does this not happen all the time? Don't you get skit every time you see one of those guys, like at a 7-Eleven or something, with just like all that equipment on, the brink's truck outside? You know, I mean, it does happen. Like there was a guy, we did a report, I think, at some point on a guy who, or maybe that was me and T.C., but who had really staked out the route and the schedule.

and he did pull it off. He robbed the truck and transfer from getting money from the truck to the bank fairly easily if you plan it out properly. But he just got caught I think like a week later or something.

But you can they do have to drive that truck to the bank with that money. I used to have those trucks parked by Walmart all those armored trucks there. They cleared them out. I've always curious any time

I see, it's big with Teslas. I'm always curious, I think I saw somebody do this joke or something about dads the other day. Anytime I see a big group of the same type of car in a parking lot, I want to snoop around. What's going on over there? Why do they have all those trucks over there? Anyways, Balt Springs, Blake, anything?

I think I know where it is. I don't know their mascot. Do you think, do they get to carry? They should. Yeah, they should. Yeah, they do. I would think. They do. They carry. Yeah. Would the Biden chairs have been federal property if we bought them? Yeah, I was thinking about that last night again, too.

Don't. You're right. Don't. I was trying to think, what can we find? What else is out there? That was just so. That's not how it works. Yeah.

It's only worth Bitcoin. What do you say, TZ? They do get to carry. That's why you got to have an 18-wheeler to knock over the truck first, or you disorient them. Heat style. I prefer magnets. Patrick Mahomes, senior, back in jail for a... PMS.

Violation of probation stemming from a DWI. Oh. Which just pisses me off because it is definitely possible to have your life effed up by court junk. Because you've got to pay and you've got to get there and all this stuff. And if you're poor, it can be pretty debilitating. But if your son is approaching billionaire status And you miss a routine court date They should put you in jail

You obviously just don't care But you have to pretend to care That's the whole thing Well at least I thought that Yeah but he might just know what's going to happen So they bury that girl under the 19th hole Yeah He knows what's going to happen now

I'll miss this and whatever You're not at some point concerned about how this Just the BS or your kid has to deal with? I don't think Pat Mahomes, Sr. is concerned with that at all. No. Don't, do you wonder, too, is there some kind of a... You don't know family dynamics.

Maybe there's some kind of a... Whether it's jealousy or, you know? Yeah. Pat Mahomes makes, what, 50 million a year? I don't even... Does he slide enough over to him? Now that I've been close enough to the Mahomes machine to see... we need to stop quoting these guys salaries.

Because that's like a tenth of what they're bringing home. You know what I mean? The overall. Oh, with all the other. Yeah. That's a footnote at some point. Like they're, well, like basketball players. Their actual salary from their team isn't actually where they make the most money.

Right. And you might not think about that with football players, but in his case, I mean, he owns the part of the coffee company for endorsing it. The quarterbacks are all basketball players. We had our second escape in one week in Tarrant County. This dude, 26-year-old, this is Tarrant County Jail. We drove by the other day on the way to the Stock Show. Dad, what's that? That's the jail for the city of Fort Worth.

Have you ever been there? Oh. It's funny. Yes, I have for arguing. There you go, Twitter. For not cleaning my room. This guy was working at the laundry facility when he shed his uniform and escaped on foot

wearing just white boxers and a white undershirt. What's that laundry room? Yeah, right? They found him within the hour, but he got out. He got all the way out. What's he in for? It doesn't say Okay, because that's always important, right?

You don't want to put the... It does say that he will be transported to a maximum security prison now and will face more serious charges. I don't like that. I guess you've got to have it to keep... You almost want to reward it. Right.

Like you've just... You've exposed a hole in our system too, and we're... Thank you. Yeah, they pay hackers. Clearly you really want out. It means a lot to you. Right.

You want to go contribute to society. Not these losers who are okay just languishing in here. All right, there's your news. Which makes me think of. The Dumbstone News. Like and subscribe. That was a good news. Let us do this.

Fairlees.org presents on this day in history. Let's see. Here's a little today in history for you, for us. How'd the family like the stock show? Is it a win? Loved it. Nice. When did you go?

He didn't. I didn't. Oh. He's got business Wednesday things to do. Your family went yesterday? Yeah. Oh. Well, I took the two kids with my in-laws and, yeah, they had a great time.

Wow. What a day. I know. But you know what? I use this at home, though. That's why I'm telling you about it is, you know, because I tried to tell, I have like a family hook up there. I was going to try to share it with Blake. So I tell my wife, like, Blake's wife and family were there.

And she's like, where was Blake? You're off today? And I was like, no, we're not. Yeah. I didn't go because this is a work day. You know, like the busiest day we have is Wednesday? So stop thinking of it that way, and it helped a lot. Would your wife ever tell them that, like, me and you know each other?

Like, hey, my husband works with your, like when they go got the, when they get the goat photo? No. I didn't think so. No. I think they paid. Obviously, they got pictures. Yeah, Brooks and Benny with a goat. There's only really one chappy who every person he meets.

Yeah, they used to be on the ticket. I'm on there everywhere. I think that's a lot of parents. I certainly have two of them. Yeah, your problem. Yeah. I got at least, yeah, I probably got two of them, too. Today's Thursday, February 5th.

On this day in 1840, the Republic of Texas passed a bill. 1840. Place in time, very important. Place the bill. Requiring all the free African Americans to leave Texas. That's the bill. So I suppose now if you're here, you are now breaking the law. Man, he can leave.

And we can actually arrest you. What do you mean leave? Look, it's the law. Yeah, but I'm free. You're free to leave. You didn't look at the law. You didn't look at the law. You're free to leave you.

On this day in 1999, Dirk Nowitzky makes his NBA debut. It's against the Seattle Supersonics. He scored two points, went 0 for five from the floor. Bust. So he's just riding the bench until then? I know he didn't have a big. No, it was a strike-shorten season, I believe. That's right.

That's the Spurs' first title. I don't I? Are you Spurs guy? I am Spurs guy. It's the worst thing about here. Look at me, man. You look like Spurs guy, that's true. I got the silver and black.

Dude, I vividly remember, like, my dad and his friends being 100% out on Dirk. And some sort of weird reverse racism of like, are you fucking? No way. No way. He was getting booed. Well, I mean... That's why I wanted to go back. Yeah, the history would tell you,

any of the top Euro picks were busts, they just didn't play the same ball, all that kind of stuff. Yeah. But they didn't all have Holger. On this day in 2007, Jake, NASA astronaut Lisa Noak. Oh, wow. For next year, I need to have her... Excuse me, her boyfriend.

and the other woman's name memorized. But this is an astronaut love triangle. Well, let me just read this sentence, and then you expand upon it. It says she was arrested in Florida, accused of trying to kidnap a rival for the affections of a space shuttle pilot. Yeah.

They'd all train for space together. So hard. And, yeah, he had stopped hooking up with her and started hooking up with this other lady. And Lisa Noah, wanted to kill this other lady and she wanted to do so urgently, but she was hundreds and hundreds of miles away. So on the drive there, she wore a diaper.

An adult diaper so as to not ever have to waste any time taking a lady poop on the road or a lady pee. And then they caught her, I think, at the airport. You might have said that, but it's a gnarly story. Is her diaper full? On this day in 2014, the state of Texas executed Suzanne Basso. Can't call it. Says here she was executed for torturing and killing Buddy Musso, a mentally impaired man that she lured to Houston with the promise of marriage.

So now this is the one I was telling you about this morning that I kind of looked into this morning and just searched that name. Does this do anything for you, T.C? I have not heard of this. It's 2014. I know. It's 2014, the execution. Wow.

And Jake, a hole in Jake's game. Yeah, for sure, but I'm here to learn. That's what makes me the best. So it turns out Suzanne Basso, her mother was the sister. So that means her aunt, her uncle, I guess. her mother was the sister of spree killer and rapist Robert Garrow So right away you're born into this family

There's some stuff going on in the family That's insane So growing up It being like the NFL is fascinating This woman was sexually abused physically And physically abused and sexually abused Of course One story in the family is when her mother

Caught her with a pack of cigarettes Instead of making her smoke them, she made her eat them. I've eaten a cigarette. Nasty. She married a guy named James Peake in the early 70s. They had two children. Peek was arrested in 1982 for molesting his daughter. She really knows how to pick him.

So anyway, this lady is just a wild, just a horrible life. and just weird. If we're going to keep going, just to stop on that part, it's like that every time you look into one of these and it really trips up my brain because I know they have to go to jail. I know sometimes maybe you've got to kill them. But it's 99.9% of the time. You know what I mean?

It was somebody who was brutally traumatized replicating that behavior. You do hear about it and feel like We probably should have done more than just waiting until the end and killing him. Yeah, like there's got to be something else besides that. Because then they do this. So the guy that she ended up killing, right? I already told you mentally disabled. He was living in an assistant living house in New Jersey,

working as a bagger at a grocery store. It's kind of funny. So he met Suzanne Basso. It's kind of funny if you imagine them from different parts of the country with like access at a church bazaar near his house they then started a long

distance relationship kind of like when I used to play Tiger Woods golf with the guy from California that I never met and she gets him to plan to move to Texas and marry her so he does here he moves there 16 days after he arrived

he is killed by Basso Her son So the one that didn't get Well maybe he did get molested too But the daughter certainly did But the other kid

They grew up in the house The daughter's getting molested and everything That kid helped her kill this guy They did it for like the money They were hoping to keep the payments coming Ah okay You know? Yeah yeah

Disability checks Also a friend of hers and her two children and one of the children's fiance. So, like, this is a whole group of family. They all got in on the murder? Yeah. They beat him and burned him with cigarettes as he sat on a child's. There's a lot of bad stuff here.

We don't want to go into that. But the point is. Huh. I guess it's for rich and poor people. She was executed on this day in 2014. And Kemp'sman didn't know about this at all. This is IJB. Like sometimes your heroes get exposed, and you're like, oh, my gosh.

Yeah, yeah. These guys don't know everything. It's okay. LeBron had eight in the finals game. And on this day in 2017, the Tom Brady leads the comeback, Patriots, Falcons. Is that? Overtime. 25 points.

I know we talk about it a lot, and I guess he still hasn't won a Super Bowl, so it's not over. But it's pretty remarkable that Kyle Shanahan got up off that mat. to become what he is now. A lesser man might have been buried. How about DQ? Yeah, for sure. I mean, DQ's defense. DQ is the head coach in charge of...

Yeah. I mean, ostensibly in charge of, you know, hey, let's not just chuck it around. Let's actually just eight clock and we will win this game. There's almost no way to lose this game. Yeah, I don't think he's going to be a successful head coach anymore, right? He's going to get a job. But like, Kyle Shanahan, you still think of as one of the best.

And that's a pretty serious fumble. Whenever the Bears had all those big comeback wins, they asked Ben Johnson, like, what went into the recipe. And apparently the way that, like, your school would bring in a Holocaust survivor, they had Grady Jarrett talk to the team. I heard about that. I heard about that because he was on the Falcons of the time. Wow.

I mean, in reading, you've certainly seen things about the Patriots that day, too. just their mindset and their talks were like everything just has to be perfect. Every play, every drive, we just can't. Brady telling the story of that second half is unfortunately very cool. And today is February 5th, this day in Dumb Zone history. This was a fun show in 2024 because it was the day or a few days after Dallas lost its shot at hosting the World Cup final. It wasn't Emmett Smith crushed or something? Yeah. We had fun playing the audio because everyone was just like, oh, you know, we just missed it.

And Emmett Smith said, yeah, you know, this is a good place to host a World Cup because we have things like roads. And we have good toll roads and good bridges and good infrastructure. That'll be good to revisit that when the World Cup does start up. It was weird, too. It's like the draft parties, but I love a party. You don't get a lot of them with an open end. You go to a birthday party. You're like, all right, well, it's this person's birthday.

We know it will be celebrating. But then they put these like these announcement parties together, and then you don't get it. And everyone's like, this is still okay. But we have all these balloons. Like they didn't get as many dates as they wanted. But they had already paid Emmett Smith to be there. Yeah, it's great hearing all of these people

mad because they didn't get their soccer game. And that's it for Dumbs on History? That's it. Sometimes you roll through like 20 minutes.

Hopony, four, six, seven, three, six, nine. Other birthdays today. I think it'd be kind of funny to call and be like, I'm just a little concerned. Like, what do you mean? I'm just a little concerned with my play. I'm not really looking to change anything yet at this point, but I do want to put up a flag of concern.

And I'd say I'm concerned. Yeah. Well, what level? Is it Epstein concern? No, it's like Red Marble. No, it's like red mark on my arm concerned. Yeah. Could that be some?

We could let it go, but you said. I'm not going to go to the doctor, but you just asked. Other birthdays today, Roger Stalbach is 84. We met him right before COVID. Ironically, Craig Morton is 83. If you know anything about Cowboys history. That's ironic. And the big game.

It was never going to work. You can't have two dudes with the same birthday. Like you and I wouldn't be able to do the show. show together. No. David Beeler is 39. I'd love to catch up with him.

Good dude. I liked him a lot. And he was drafted to be a kickoff specialist. He was. That's your cowboy. You're like, have the cowboys ever innovated?

You know, they tried to jump on the two tight end system to very poor results. They tried to They had their own wildcat. They called it something else. You could raise her back. It, like, got stuffed the first time, and they never did it again.

Yep. A lot of different moves. They let a running back go and then... David Beeler, though, drafting a guy specifically just to do kickoffs is the retiring Kobe's number of the... Everyone will follow us. David Beeler, according to LinkedIn, is a sales associate. at Rusty Wallace Volkswagen,

which is a good gig and is also a very funny and cliche outcome. Right? Isn't that what you say about every guy? Yeah, you picture eastbound and down doing the same thing. And I bet he loves it, and I bet he's awesome at it. Like I say, he was a good, good dude, fun guy to hang out with and talk. Book David Beeler, for Christ's sake.

Jesus, Blake. Just sitting there. I'm going to buy a card. I know you're... You don't... You have the honest booking process, but I do appreciate your commitment. I'm interested in this...

At 84-month notes... Also, if you wouldn't mind talking to my friends here, they have questions about kicking off. Boy, that'd be a nice... I'm thinking about it, but... What if you... We're close. Stop by the game stream on tomorrow.

We're close. Cam Scadabo. Scadaboo. It's 24. Very excited. Exciting white. Very excited. Mark Hamburger is 39.

Did you see the Lakers got Luke Kennard who is white? No. Another. Another 3&D shooting white. That's who you want around? Look, well, not necessarily. At some point, I'm a little bit worried about Jay Moore's presence in this whole thing. What do you mean?

I think. I know he's married to the owner. Oh, you think he's influencing? He's got some less than progressive opinions, I think, and maybe he's... What? Vita Vaya is 31. I feel like he... Vita Vaya is awesome.

I mean, dating back to just being a guy who would say Jap on the radio is funny, but at the time, I think a lot of people were like, whoa, we're not doing that. One of them I know is doing... Well, there's no Japanese players that. the Lakers were thinking about trading for. That's true. They already got Rui Herr at Chamura. Boy, that was 2002, though.

I think it was still in play. I'm reading it. Bill Parcells was talking about Jap plays and press conferences. It was like that. Yeah. I mean, my grandpa, he used that one. They made FDR stand up. They get one.

I can't remember who it was, but one of our relatives had a Toyota. I think I've told you this. My uncle. Yeah. Like literally, it's Thanksgiving. And this is my uncle's humor. He took like a thing of rice errone or boil a bag. They probably didn't have boil a bag back then.

But the point is he just went out and poured rice on the driveway, but it was like right underneath the gas tank as if it had poured out of there. Looney tunes. Because guys like him who would. never, ever dream of purchasing something made in Japan or something because of the big war. I would call him, that's a rice burner. Yeah. You're driving a rice burner here?

Absolutely not. Yeah. And so he had to kind of make a scene out of it. And I'm like, seven. I'm like, whoa, okay. Sweet. I'm noted. You know, you're developing your, what's comedy.

Oh, okay. I like it. Rice Rocket. The motorcycle was big in my scene. Really? Yeah, the high school, because it's getting to reference. You had never heard of Rice Burner? Rice Burner.

Yeah. Okay. I was going to say, ask your grandpa. No, that's my dad. Oh. Oh, yeah. Yeah. There's a generation still pretty beat up about that.

But hell, they had a guy keep fighting the war until like 1999 or something. So old habits die hard. Yeah. Ed Wallace would love that guy. Cristiano Ronaldo is 41. Namar is 34. I'm to understand those are both soccer players. Yeah.

Namar? Namar. Namar? He was a big deal for a hot minute. Name one hit. Don Cherry is 92. He's today still alive. That's a good one.

All kinds of spins. Roberto Alamar is 58. You spit on one up, all of a sudden you're the guy that spits on ups. Lovingly, but he did it. What was the story, did he make fun of the ump's son, or did the ump make fun of his son? Isn't that part of that story? Oh, yeah. I think you may be mixing things up.

No, Kimspin says Roberto Alamar made fun of umpire's disabled son. Oh. That doesn't mean it's right. No, but I mean he didn't lure him to Texas to marry him. No, no, no, I'm saying it doesn't mean that the Kimspin is right just because you have it written down. We should probably... The kid died. Oh, he was making fun of his dead son?

He died at age eight. Damn. How serious do you take your strike zone? It was three years after. Why would you know that and bring it back up? That is insane behavior. Roberto Al-Mar apologized for spitting at an umpire and making comments about his late son. Just a mouthful of chew.

See your son lately? Just you know one thing about him. He really pissed you off. Yeah, you missed that call. Like, you're probably missing your boy. That's insane. That's so weird. Wrong kid died.

Damn, Robbie. Bobby Brown is 57. Not Millie Bobby Brown. Director Errol Morris is 78. Is he a documentary guy? That's the one. The fog of war. Yeah, yeah.

I've seen a bunch of his stuff. Christopher Guest. is 78. Wow, what a big day for directors. Is he a director? I know he was, well, he's in some of those Rob Reiner things, right? Christopher Guest? Yeah.

He's the director of all of it, right? No, Rob Reiner was the director. Oh. Christopher Guest was one of the actors. Okay. Married to Jamie Lee Curtis. Am I high on that? Okay, I'm confusing.

Christopher Guest. Christopher who? Nolan? No, no. go on Columbus I think Columbus Tim Meadows is 65

I think Jake overates him Don't you love Tim Meadows Yeah I do I really really like the ladies man I thought that was a great bit I thought the movie held up I can't say that I saw it So it's unfortunate I can't

I think he's greatness I can still say I just don't think he is And then I'll leave it up I'm not going to fight you on Tracy Moore But I think Tim Meadows is great. Okay. Laura Linney is 62. Chris Parnell is 58.

That explains the break. Christopher Guest was the director for waiting for Guffman. Okay. And almost heroes, Jake. Oh, wow. An absolutely terrible movie that you like a lot. It's the last Farley movie. A Mighty Win, Christopher Guest directed.

That's what I thought. But then Dan confused me. And I'm like, am I talking about a different guy? No, no, no, it's fine. But almost heroes. I'm only just trying to challenge you to make you stronger. Almost heroes might get a death glow up. Because at the time, I was like, well, this has got to be good.

It's all we're getting. But I laughed extremely hard at that movie. Matthew Perry, Blake. It's a piece of crap. They might have had to rush the production. Jennifer Jason Lee is 64. You know her from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. And you might know her from the boys.

Boys. That's right. What a career. What's the status of the boys? Final season coming this summer. I'm a fan. Everybody is, Elsaia. It's not a weird thing. It's not. It's just weird if you're with these weirdos. The spinoffs are still spinning off.

Yeah, I just finished Gen Z. Shut off. The last episode. Yeah, there's a spin-off called Gen Z. Or is it V? It's like a college for soups. I think it's Jen. for superheroes to try and harness their powers. Like Harry Potter?

But really? You're just watching Harry Potter? A lot of crazy stuff when you put all those kids together. Yeah. No, I can imagine when the guys from the engineering school and the journalism department get together with their superpowers. The girl that can shrink, it's one of the dudes likes to have her.

Let me just guess. He's crawling to his pee hole. There you go. I know this is a shocking show. Do your daughters... And sometimes her ATM doesn't worry. Okay. And finally, dumb zone birthday of the day is Nolan Bushnell.

Shotguns. Anyone knows his name or who this is? I know the name. I know Bushnell. This is the biggest dumb zone birthday of the day ever. Especially focusing on two-thirds, well, maybe three-thirds of the dumb zone. Maybe the whole thing. this covers us all.

Because Nolan Bushnell, who's 83 today, founded Atari. Oh, yeah, all right. Contributed. And so you're like, that's all. You found, that's it, bro. Yep. Like a Neil Armstrong? You're John Wooden.

He didn't go walk on Mark. Like, he's got the one thing. That's all you need, and that's it. But he said after that, he's like, you know what? How can I get more people to play this game? What if I invent something, and this is true, the reason he invented this was to get people to play his stand-up games. So he founded Chuck E. Cheese.

Wow. Hell yeah. You know, that makes sense, because I've always known that Chuck E. Cheese was a game-forward operation. So the fact that they came from the game space. Like it was really a front to try and make sure you get in there and play their stand-up games. Yeah, they rotated. That's great. What a guy.

What a contributor. That's one or the other, and he's a ring of honor for sure. Let's go. Those are two very different operations, too. But we'll keep a, maybe we can start this list today, but this is like a dumb zone birthday of the day. Like, this is the top one. as far as I am concerned. Is that what you're talking about?

I mean, throughout the year, will just, like, does that beat Nolan Bush now? That's a good line. Chuckie Cheese and Atari is up there. Got the Atari for Christmas one year. Back in the 80s. It was awesome. I feel like, Dan, do you remember the day you got yours?

I remember the day I got my Nintendo. I remember the day we went to the mall to get it. I remember staying up late with my mom. My mom, I feel like, had never used a computer before. Dude, when you get a game when you're a kid, you're... Like, that is a license to be up all night. Yeah, at six, five. Born on this day now dead, Hank Aaron.

And dead on this day, still dead. Toby Keith. R-I-P. Put a boot in that ass. Where was I the other day that I heard that song? And that's what happened. Put a boot in your house. It's the American way.

Ed Wallace Way. That was good enough. And now with us is Elisio Rodriguez. What's up, folks? A man who met... Didn't you meet Jake at his kid's school or something like that? I met Jake at my kid's school. He was there first.

I was there first. Okay. Yes. I was in Carline. I was actually listening to the show at the time. And I saw Jake with his daughter, flagged him over, said hi. It was very surreal. Really sweet dude.

Really sweet dude. Who, Jake? Oh, yeah. He's probably hammered. Ha! No, this was, well, baby. Yeah, well, actually. Anyway, this is your time, Elisayo.

What do you want to do? What do you want to talk about? Well, I'd like to promote a few things if I could. Absolutely. Well, first, I'm going to promote my son, Selle Seale Jr. And this is a shirt I'm wearing that's his band, maybe in the next life. So go check him out. He's got a song on Spotify.

He's going to release an EP soon this month. So yeah, check that out. Maybe in the next life. Maybe in the next life, yeah. It's, I don't know if you're familiar with the genre, but it's shoe gaze is what he calls it. Yeah, I didn't know they were still making that. I guess his T.C. had a bit of a face.

It's coming back. Is it? Oh, yeah. I didn't know that. Come out to a show, man. Shoe gaze? Shoe gaze. It's kind of an emo type thing, but it is what it sounds like.

It's a lot of effects, a lot of droning cords. It's for people who look at that. their feet. Yeah. Okay. You like to look inside a lot and why you listen to this music. All right. That appeals to me.

Yeah, it's good stuff, man. Good stuff. But yeah, so yeah, he's got a band. And he's got, let me open this thing up, man. I knew I was going to flame. That's okay. The event is April. Okay.

Yes. So you really came prepared. Oh, I did, sir. I did. All right. So, and then, so my son, he's 24 years old, he's a little bit of an entrepreneur, self-business owner, I guess, you know, small business owner. He's got dragon wraps tx.com. He does, he'll wrap your car.

You know, he's getting into that game. Oh, okay. You said he was a musician, and I thought, oh, no, no, you would wrap. Yeah, like a dragon, though. Yeah, like a dragon. And I was like, be careful with that. Or it's like a tortilla. Like, we've had a couple people volunteer and said they would get their car wrapped with a dumb zone logo.

I actually volunteered my car for that, but it's broke down now, so forget it. Okay. Well, that's irrelevant that you would even bring it up then. I know. Kind of a dead end. Exactly. A little bit. Yeah.

But the offer stands if you want to use. DragonRapsTX.com. There you go. And he also does websites. He builds websites, and that's echelon websites. Jesus Christ. And he's got a ban. Yes, and he's got a band.

And he's got a kid? I've got many kids, man. I got many kids. I got three adult children, 27, 24, and 22. And then I have two grandkids that are my kids now. Eight and four. Yeah, so I'm starting over. Legally, they're yours?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we got papers. Probably a little bit of a bear trap on the way to that. Let's go. I'm kind of interested. No, yeah, yeah, yeah, no for sure. So yeah, my daughter... That's part of the reason, by the way, that I'm okay.

Like, I think it weirds people out when I say this, but I've been thinking about it a lot. Totally okay to die. Yes. But part of that is because I know, like, my parents... If they die at the same time, we could be in real trouble. But there's somebody who would take care of them better than me. Oh, your kids.

Yeah. Because that's your only reason for being bummed about checking out. Yeah. And, but if you had an Elyseo on hand to just sort of... And I wonder how, I mean, I bet this happens a lot, you know. But I was doing math, as you said. You had a 27-year-old kid. You have an 8-year-old.

So obviously that was a very young. Yeah. I'm hoping the 27-year-old is the parent of an 8-year-old. Okay. Yes. Yes. But, you know, similar, Kate, my mom was 19 when she had me. Yep.

Yep. My, whoever my dad is, probably the same age. And, you know, she, from what I understand, I was left with. relatives for a year or two before I had any conscious being able to remember life. Yeah. Because she was 19. Yep. And went off to do what hippies do when they're 19.

I don't know. Well, legal guardianship is a big step, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, we have legal guardianship. We got them enrolled in school, you know. Does he refer to you as his dad? Yeah, yeah. So they both do now.

Is he aware that you're not actually? It's weird, man. Yeah, it's super weird. So anyways, yeah, so that was a whole sticky situation, you know, whenever we first got the kids and stuff. You know, he was in the Nick U during like the 2021 right after COVID. And my wife was the only person going in to see him and stuff. And, you know, my daughter went through whatever she went through, like a kind of a breakdown. And, you know, we had the temporary order that turned out to be four years, five years, you know.

But yeah, yeah, you know, I wouldn't, I mean. A temporary order, what does that mean? Like tipperary custody. Yeah, CPS got involved and she had to do a few things, you know, to get the custody back and just never really turned out that way. So, yeah, you know, just kind of stringing along is like, well, let's make sure we take care of these kids and make them stable and loved. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they live with you. Yeah, yeah, they live with us.

We're mom and dad. We're mom and dad. He calls me, well, they call me Ferrari now. Well, you're an incredibly, I would think, young person to be a grandpa. Well, I'm 50. Well, and to have an 8-year-old grandkid, that's, I would think, right? I mean, I know there can be 40 in a grandparent. Oh, yeah.

That probably used to be quite common. Yeah, yeah. But nowadays. Dude, I think I've got a cousin who might be a grandma before 40. Which is. That happens. Yeah. Are they living out in rural Texas or?

Like, that's. At some point, but we've got three generations here of. of very young children. So I think my, I have two cousins who are younger than me. Yeah, my parents were super young when they got married. They were 18 and 19, you know. Now, the question is, where you'd be bringing these questionably, questionably legitimate children of yours to your event?

You have an event to promote. Probably not. Probably not. When is the event? April the 17th. And where is this event? We'll be at Elixir Uptown, Dallas. off McKinney Avenue, Dallas, Texas. You are a part owner in this?

I am a part owner, sir. This club. Now, if you go to this club's website, you're going to see a place that looks like it has bottle service and titties. And typically that's for the nighttime. We're doing our show during the day. So when I saw LSAO would pick up line the other day, I said, hey, we're fine either way.

Could be funny if we keep the normal approach of Friday night. But what's the plan here? You know what the plan is and would be funnier. Awareness. It's just to have one person dressed that way for Jake specifically to serve him throughout the entire day. If she's old, maybe. Yeah.

But yeah, so the idea is we'll go out there, see what it looks like during the day for people, and then you're going to do World Cup watching parties. Hell yeah. You got to get ready for that World Cup. Bring in that money. Do you have any idea of what this building used to be? One World Cup.

No, sir. Okay. Sorry. You can tell me. No, I'm not sure. But I feel like Jake and I got in an argument with a previous obscure employer in this building. But I don't know. Certainly somewhere in uptown.

New ownership. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, yeah. So, no, I bought a bar at the end of the year. Looking for ways to make some more money, you know. What's your being? It looks wonderful. How did you get to a point where you're, you're,

guy that's buying bars and able to support three kids. When I go to the wreck, it's not all the time, but I go to the sauna there. Occasionally, I'll go do basketball. He works out of the wreck. And so he's there all the time. And he pops out. He pops out. I'm walking in.

He pops out. I'm running upstairs. He's behind a desk upstairs. He pops out. Behind a desk. You work at the wreck? Yeah. I work remotely, and so I work at the rec just because I can't work at home.

Oh, yeah. And so I got to get out. And so I can work out during lunch, listen to the show, come back, finish the work day, then hit home, you know, five minutes away. So it's awesome. I love it. Great Ryan Rec is the bomb. But, I mean, what have you done? Again, like I said, your life to lead up to this point.

Did you just happen into money? Oh, hell no. Hell no. I'm broke. I'm broke. I had to borrow against my retirement, you know, took some money out of that. To buy a bar? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. Yeah, yeah. So I'm not getting any younger, you know. I'm raising an eight and four-year-olds now and trying to make as much extra income as I can now and plan for the future. And, yeah, this last 2020 to 2025 is a dark period for me there. It was a, went through some depression, did all that stuff, was on meds for the whole better part of last year. The grocery store fight. Grocery store fight was right in the middle of it, dude.

Now let's close the chapter on that. Yeah. Unless you have other notes for the show. Oh, no. I want to make sure last week a guy didn't get to him and then he sent us like a goddamn 10-page email. I'm like, buddy, you were here. I wanted to go back and listen to that segment. I want to have it back on.

Yeah, no, like where. He had good stuff. No, he had a great email. Just then was the time. But yeah, I don't want you to leave here thinking, oh my gosh, I didn't have my opportunity. Oh, yeah. This is your opportunity. Yes.

But I would like to hear, yes, the play-by-play. what exactly happened. Yeah. How was a 50-year-old guy break his hand two days before the GSI? 49. At the time, sure. Give it a little dignity. Yeah.

No, no. So, yeah, I will tell you the story. So I was home June 5th, 2025. I had just gotten home from work, probably from the wreck. My wife, as a good Mexican wife, made a pot of pinto beans. And I was like, man, I just feel like having a nice bowl. of pinto beans with some paste pecanque sauce in there with some chips pace yeah i'm a little white too sorry good god yeah but so i said i'm gonna run to tom thumb

tom thumb is five minutes down the road i live off part so right down the street so i turn i i go um and i'm in my chanclas which are slippers right they're sandals and so i shorts polo shirt uh turn out of my uh street go to the last there's a jeep there it's just us two seven o'clock the light turns green i wait a second i wait a little bit and i'm like man it's just us too so i'll just take a beat all right well we're gonna miss this light you know i'm gonna i'm just gonna do a polite honk you're behind him i'm behind him and so i politely honked i did a little beep that that that that that oh you sang him a little tune i sang him a little

be a little smart ass no no no no no so and so he took off you know went straight and i was like like all right no no issues nothing so i passed the gas station i turn left into tom thumb he goes into the next entrance turns in too i was like hey this is my pure heart i was like i'll run into him say hey you know sorry for that you know just wanted to not miss the light you know say hello's i park he parks he comes out i was like you couldn't wait five seconds you couldn't wait five and i was like buddy like dude like calm down man i'm like was a polite honk what type of individual are we talking about? We're going to say Salt Lake Man.

Okay. You don't have to say anything else. Jake wants to know if he could kick his ass or not. No, probably. You could. Big truck? Nah. It was one of those, you know, those new Jeep, half Jeep truck thing? Oh, okay. Yeah. Real douche car.

Anyways. They can get it for you at Fairle. You're a douche. Yes. That's right. So he gets out. So he's standing in front of the ride entrance there at your local Tom Thumb. and I have to cross his path to get to the front door, right?

And so I'm like, buddy, like, chill, dude. And so he just wouldn't let up, man. And I wound up crossing his path. And boy, after I was like, all right, dude, like, I'm done. You know, I saw a little twinkle in his eye. He goes, where are you from? Where are you from? I'm from.

I'm like, where are you from, bud? What does it matter? It's like, I'm an American. You're probably a foreigner. So at that point, all right, I'm on a med. I'm dealing with depression and some anger issues. A little bit of a Kanye type situation. Double birded him right in his face.

And I said, F you know, top of my lungs. And he shoved me, right? And at that point, like, he's an older gentleman. Turns out he's 15 years older than me. And I'm thinking, what the hell is going on here? And I'm just, you know, and so I asked him, like, do you want to go? Do you want to go? but probably in that tone

I'm like just I'm amazed like what this is happening and he says yeah and he just starts coming at me and so before I could like gather my you know thoughts or whatever I was like are you sure he shoved me against the propane tanks

hit my head of thing and I was at that point I said fuck it and I threw him down I hit him and when he landed he landed on my hand and that's what broke my hand there but that's a nice move though yeah the cradle yeah and so I did get him

This is not about to turn into a murder punch. No. Yeah. And then so he rolled over, you know, and I got a couple of good licks on them. And I was about to choke him out. And, you know, one of the employees came and, hey. I was like, I'm all right. And now if you're just happening upon that scene.

Yeah. There's people around. You don't have any background. Yeah. You see fired up, matted up Mexican guy. Yeah. beating up an old man and a old white guy

15 years older than you just left the course that's right just left the course did the cops arrive so I wanted up getting off of them and he kept trying to come at me and I was like somebody called the cops

nobody was calling the cops so I called the cops like I called 911 and they came and they arrested both of us we got the exact same charge man but then a fray public affray or whatever you know fighting in public.

I remember you showing me that. Yeah, dude. I'm like, what the hell, dude? I love that we just have so many of these British terms. So I went to... Oh, it's so nice. That's what I heard of.

It's so nice. It's great fine? Great vine, yeah. So I was right there by the QT, man. Right there, man. Right by your job. Right by my job, man. Oh, it's William D. Tate.

Yeah. Yeah, okay. It's like right there, dude. All right. Yeah. So I spent the night there. I mean... The night?

Was he the... I got out at three. you know because they asked me if I wanted to see a medic or something for my hand I was like I was all amped up badass no I was like I'm pulling on my tent I don't even know you know and then in the jail that was your get out of jail free dummy no and I know yeah I could yeah I want to go see a medic yeah but you know so I waited it worked out in the end so I wound up getting so I've been a handcuffed to a hospital bed in transport to the hospital from the jail to Baylor they had to handcuff me so I've been handcuffed me so I've been handcuffed me so I'm It was pretty awesome. For a public phrase. It's not like you're going to try to escape. No, yeah, yeah.

And then the cop that was the arresting cop, I mean, he was friendly. I mean, everybody was cool. The fire department was cool. Like, everybody was nice, you know. I made friends. Like, everybody. So neither one of you has to press charges for that to happen. No.

Well, so he was like, you know, so at the time, they were taking our statements and he was over there saying like, you know, well, I'll go and apologize. I was like, fuck you, dude. I'm pressing charges on you, man. Like, whatever, man. But, you know, I guess they pressed charges on both of us. so whatever. So he was at that. Now he's conciliatory.

Oh, yeah. He's upset that. Yeah, now the comps are there and all this and then. I'm like, whatever, dude. Anything broken on that old man or no? Do what not? Nothing broken, no. I got him a little.

Him? Nah, just a gash on his forehead. Pride. Yeah. This is man pride. And did you have to go to court? Yeah, but there's, that's why I mentioned that Texas Law Shield, man. They took care of all that stuff for me, dude.

Like they, like, it's like, it's like an. insurance, like honestly. And so I was- But you didn't have to physically appear in court one day? No, that's a genius idea for a business. I've never heard of that. It's great. You know, it's great.

Like when I first got it, you know, it was like, we took the classes, did everything right and it was like, you know what? Yeah, we got to have this just in case, you know? Because like if you even draw, if you even take it out in Texas, like I think they do a grand jury, whatever. It's like, there's legal, you know, there's legal things, you know? So, yeah. It would make sense.

It's so weird. It's such so, what do you call it? all the laws and everything around it once you have it, but to get it, you can just get it. Well, no, I think what he's saying is genius because everyone should have to have that. Yeah, yeah. You should have to be carrying a policy if you're going to have to,

if you're going to have the gun and you can bring it up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, I wasn't carrying it at the time. I was not carrying it at the time. But you were signed up with a service, so they didn't care of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so it was, and the thing is self-defense. Like, if you're protecting yourself, they'll cover it.

So, yeah. Even not caring. Yeah, yeah. So anyways, yeah. So, you know, I spent the night there. They took me there to... Was he in the same cell? No, so that's another funny part of the story was that they staggered us, you know, in the...

When they processed us, right, they put him in first, and then they took me in, and they were putting them in the cell. And he saw me coming in, and he turns around and he says, are you going to put him in the same time with me? He's like, no, you idiot. Like, what do you think? Stupid? Like, you've never been to jail before? Did he ever, like, apologize to you? Ah, man, no, no.

Like, dude, I took this too far. Nah, but you know what kind of gets me is that, like, you know, I mean, he's my neighbor. He's my effing neighbor, dude, lives down the street. Oh, you've seen him. I saw him again at Tom Thumb, dude. Yeah. You're just watching groceries. Like bird and magic to get back together every 10 years of the spot.

Dude, the first time I saw him, legit, I didn't get out of my car because I didn't know what I was going to do. I didn't want to, like, get mad or anything like that. I didn't want anything else to happen. And so I just waited my car until he came back out and left. And a couple other times. Eventually, though, you're going to, yeah. No, I know. Yeah.

And I've seen him in the store. I about face, turn the other way, just walk, you know, whatever. But I think eventually we're going to cross vass. Would I love to see him walking with his wife or something. Hey, you remember me? How you doing? You should force the issue in whatever aisle he's on, like it's the frozen food. Just reach around.

Oh, can I get in there? Oh, excuse. The reach around. Like, what if he became friends in the long run. That's what I hope for. So fucking Dan. That's what I hope for doing. And you know what?

I did actually have that thought. Remember Blake and his road rage incident? And then they ran, oh, I think you weren't here. Jake wasn't here, right? I don't remember. Remember that story? You guys became friends? High five.

No. Play a little call duty. Oh, I guess something happened. I ended up like just whizzing him around him because I'm an asshole. I'm just an aggressive driver. And I stopped to go to the QT going, P, come out. The guy's waiting for me. And like, oh, no, because I'm real powerful behind a steering wheel when no one confronts me.

And then he says, hey, are you driving that blue Mazda? I said, yeah. He said, I just wanted to apologize. I didn't know if I cut you off or something. And, you know, I just wanted to make sure we were all cool. I was like, yeah, man. Then all of a sudden, Blake's, oh, no, no, my thought, dude. I should never have done that.

That guy's a power move, too, because he might have actually been pissed off at you. But he wanted to just put you. in that position. He just got passed by a Mazda. He was definitely pissed off. Yeah. Oh, man. So, yeah, no, that was a fun experience.

Maybe fight a match. Do a rematch at the elixir. Let's do it, man. Let's do it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Burnuckles. Oh.

We're at Kroger. Kroger is out trying to outbid moving around. Tom, thumb, yeah. They'll get your cashier, Indian lady to call it. Or grapevine won't sanction this, so we're in Ulylis today. Yeah, we have to go. Good times. Great times. Thanks, Elisam.
