That's in downtown Dallas, the Fox 4 building Maybe moving to a Las Palinas near you Game day.bemzone.com, by the way. If you'd like to improve yourself, improve your life. I went to game day this morning, and that's why I'm going to remember to do the tease at the end of the show today. Say it now.

That's okay. It may not be that great of a bit if we can't keep forgetting it. Or we're so great that that's definitely not. Anyway, yeah, no Game Day Men's Health studio. We are high atop my garage where last night, the scene of Super Bowl, whatever number. What is it?

60? 60? Yeah. Okay. We were here doing a stream, a little stream team. Good time, I think, was had by all. I had a nice time. A terrible, terrible game.

One of the worst. But I think it was much more fun to sit with all the guys that were here. If you want to go back and watch that on YouTube, that is your, we're not going to stop you from doing that. We're not going to demand that you do it either. It's a good time. John Machota was great. Jimmy's always great, Jimmy Nelson. Yeah, Machota's great because, like, I think a guy like that has been around, any of those guys.

They've been around so much football that I think they forget some of the stuff that they can share just offhand that we find really interesting. It's not off the record, but we would never know to ask. Okay. so what is Stephen Jones and Mike Vrable's relationship like? Where he's just like, I was super surprised they didn't hire Vrable because those two are thick as things. Or he was saying, yeah, if Jerry had. Yeah, if there was a chance of Stephen was in charge.

Then he probably would be here right now, or at least that's his opinion. Same thing, Blake. I think with you just dropping that you get to walk in on the referees meetings before games, that was very interesting stuff. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if it's good enough for the show, but as we're all just sitting around for a few hours, hey, I got to do this. Well, yeah, I mean, I think it's, I don't know, you take it for granted, but even just like when

TC and I went to that A&M game, being on the sideline, most people are never going to get to do that. And so to be able to share something like that. But I don't know, that wasn't even the most interesting note Blake had yesterday. That was when we found out that because Blake covered a Super Bowl, and his name is Blake Jones, Another guy who works for the NFL is also named Blake Jones, and that Blake Jones was in charge of approving visors for players. So our Blake Jones was copied on a series of, what, Eagles players or something? No, it was Brandon Spikes.

I think it was when he was with the Patriots, but he wanted a dark visor, and he had to get his optometrist to sign off. Like, no, the lights cause an issue. He needs a dark visor. What a just set of hoops to jump through. You're like, okay. Oh, you think that's bad? Just saying, I'm going to go find a, I can, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, uh, NFL wide receiver.

Right. Yes, I can find someone to tell me. Anything. Right. I mean, you go to any optometrist, right? Yeah. Oh, really? Justin Jefferson, you want what?

Uh, just say that it kind of bother. I mean, it does kind of bother me. Okay. Yeah. I'll write it down. I'm sign it. Yeah. Oh.

It's all that different from those guys. You got that sign for my kid. Thanks. Their legal card or something like that. Oh my gosh. But no, then the. Well, then the other interesting note is that's silly. Machota, which I know this happens.

I know it's part of the game. I know there's a lot of money involved. The equipment guys make money too. But Machota letting us know, you know they switch out their cleats before the game. Because you're not allowed to wear zany cleats during the game for the most part, unless it's a special week. So they all have to change their cleats. But they also all wear dark visors for pregame,

and then the equipment guys all have to... They all wear the dark visor? Not all, but a lot of guys who want to be cool. The type of guy who's changing his cleats for game cleats, he's got a pregame visor too. Okay, I must not have been here for this. It's the same helmet. So they've got a... So they wear wacky shoes before the game, but they don't wear them same ones?

That's a normal thing. I didn't know that. I didn't know that. I didn't know that. I didn't let you swag out and do whatever. But they're not going to let you do it. During the game, they've got to be approved. What's the point of that?

I don't know. But, you know, Max Crosby took a round. run at it this year and they told him like in the third quarter or something all right these are good things you're going to leave the game if you don't change these but no there's a guy he's got that if brandon if he's got that if brandon would wear the dark visor it'd be so funny it'd be so funny i like the idea of uh getting the news that jerry died and the machota just having like a oh shit moment like i got to write this fucking obituary right the obit the canned obit man i'm surprised they don't have jerry's done that's a real vote of confidence in his longevity

Well, I think, according to Machota, his bosses are also surprised that they don't have Jerry's done. I mean, you probably have it, like, kind of constantly rolling, I would imagine. But, yeah, that's a weird thing to learn about in media. The K&O. But yesterday was a great time. Should we make one for each of us, just in case something happens? If the Cowboys plane goes down, we'd be the only media outlet. How late in the article do I get mentioned?

Never. You were not in any article. No. Unless it's... Maybe Barrett Sports Media. Would he even be in the Dumb Zone newsletter? Well, it might not come out. So that'd be the only problem. You slant it as TC now full-time. Blake makes ultimate sacrifice.

No, thanks to Connie Roso and the PILF group in general, side hustle catering. That's their on-site catering. They did burgers for us last night. Dude. Smash Burroughs. Run a Blackstone, man. Yeah.

Every burger is just building on the burger before and taste. It's great stuff. Great stuff. My mom made some apps. Oh, yeah. Which worked out because I messed up the time of arrival for the food by an hour. And it was good, though, in the sense that when I got here with my mom's food, it wasn't also burgers here. Everybody devoured it.

Yeah. And then the burgers you can make to order. But that was sweet. Good run with Connery Rousseau on the game streams this year. Excited to do it next year. I mean, because right now second year head coach is winning Super Bowls is the wave. I've packaged this one up already. Oh, okay.

History. Weekend check. We can do a weekend check. Let's have it brought to us by Trident Garage Stores. Had yet another listener comment on the lack of knowing. when we opened and closed the garage door. I saw you guys up and down and up and down. He was holding his ear up to it.

Right. I said, close your eyes. And you have to hold your hand up if you hear it start to close. And, yeah, that was the little bit we had. But, yeah, Trident Garage doors, they've got something similar to the PM, just kind of like a tune-up. Have them come out. They will hook you up with a tune-up.

What's that cost? $3.99. Yeah, which they did for me. And apparently I'm built in the worst house in the world because my previous garage door company years ago had installed my garage door. But it was like it was coming out of the wall. And they're like, yeah, they didn't install this into a stud. I've heard that term enough to know that that's what men talk about when they're like hanging shit. And apparently hanging a garage door is like a pretty big thing.

And that's why it was literally falling out of the wall. and they fixed that up. They fixed up the rollers and the bearings and other things that men know about. The Trident Garage stores, in fact, is owned by a couple of real men. First responders. A first responder and a military guy.

Those guys who installed your garage, third, fourth, at best responders, but not TXTridant.com. They'll take care of you quick. They do, go look at that website. Gates have come a long way, much like mayonnaise. We've had serious innovations in the gate and garage door space. So check them out. Jeremy and the boys at tx trident.com, Dan.

All right, weekend check. Leading off will be me. Because I don't have a ton. But I do have, oh, nice TiVo segment later in this week. If anybody wants to join me and go watch the To Catch a Predator documentary. Okay. I'm about halfway through it. Okay.

Well, we're going to talk at length about it later in the week. I just want to let people know now. You want to go ahead and watch it. Where is it? I think it was Netflix. Is that not right? I can't. It's been a couple.

It might have been over the break. It might be Paramount Plus or something stupid like that. I'm so beaten by. If you looked at my bank statement or when I do my expenses, I think I pay for Paramount Plus like four months a year. Like I'll do it. Football game. Do it. Yeah.

Need audio. Cancel. Oh, an SNL documentary I want to see. Yeah. Yeah. They don't have a ton of stuff, but just when they do. Anyway, this is, it's very good. You know, there's a movie coming this year, man.

What? A movie about to catch a predator where Robert Pattinson is playing Chris Hanson. Oh, wow. Unless I got ball sacked, I believe that is a real movie. Cool. Because Vijay is the one who told me about to catch a predator documentary. And then he was, I think he's the one who told me. told me there's a movie.

Yeah, it's... Well, let's save it for when we talk about it. Okay. A couple of radio things. My wife, Borat, you guys seen that movie? I liked it. I like that.

Good reference. Said she was driving around on Saturday. She listens to 91.7 in Denton. Anybody know what that is? K-X-T. Big fan. I mean, as far as radio stations. It's on my wife's car every time I get in.

I saw a random Reddit recently of your favorite radio station, and it was in, I think, R-slash Dallas or R-S-Fort Worth. And that was the overwhelming favorite, 9-1-7. I was surprised by that. Yeah, I mean, if you're into local, well, just good, it's the only station in town that I would say is playing, like, what music people would call good music, and it's a lot of local stuff, so it's just public.

Like NPR and stuff? Yeah, it's KERA's, KERA's. Get rid of that. Music station. No. I thought we're... I don't know what to believe anymore. It had made sense.

Okay. I guess you're doing that. They lost some funding. Oh, all right. Well, anyway, she was fired up. She's like, I heard Danny Bayliss and Skin. Have a song. It was on the radio.

And they were intro, and I was like, oh, okay, cool. Yeah. We've played it. Which we have. But I don't know if we can now, because maybe it's copyright thing. Very funny. I'm not even sure Danny can.

They've been flagged for his own music multiple times. I don't even want to begin to talk about my frustrations with the way this all works now. We're killing art. Well. But the good news in that story is she was in a car somewhere else, not with you. There you go. So you were having a good time. There you go.

Also, speaking of radio, another good friend of ours, John Kukla, is working on. Fox 4 imaging radio spots because they send out you know they have agreements and you'll hear like a Fox 4 radio spot and he said

that we would like this one see if you can tell why all right that shopping center you just passed used to be a field North Texas has grown beyond expectations amazing So much has changed over the last 25 years.

One thing hasn't. Hello, everybody. I'm Heather Hayes. I'm Steve Hager. It's 9 o'clock. Steve and Heather, together. That's right. Will they or won't they?

They brought it to you. And will again tonight. The Sam and Diana. Always here for you. Fox 4. Okay, that is a kick-ass promo from a... That shopping center you just passed used to be a field. So great.

Dude, he is such a sniper. That's so good. That's perfect. And by the way, that's a good promo. I didn't pull the audio. And maybe it's a difference between a nighttime and a morning show. But the promo they were running for WFA's morning show last night, I guess it actually must have been NBC's, was straight up Scrilex.

Like it's, and I'm like, holy shit, man. Is that what you're going to, like, is that the vibe? The show starts at 4 a.m. That sounded like a normal TV promo to me, the one that Fox 4 ran there. And I do trust them. Normally when a Skrillx concert's ending is at 4 a. Yeah, it's a weird promo.

On your way home from Skrillx. I love your mom's apps, but they did keep me up past my bedtime because I had to... I'm going to make... Your mom, I know who she is. I know the way she is, and I know her mind. and I felt like I was in a battle with her last night Oh no It's because I'm going to return these dishes

Cleaner than I got them Cleaner than when you started cooking and putting food in them Because I think she'd know She'd know if look he put this in the washer In the dishwasher and it still had like this cake downed it So Really we were up a little late Just making sure it was all done

last night because you know i'm like you i think i kind of clean it and then i'll put it in the dishwasher sure sure sure especially for giving it back to somebody else couldn't fit in the dishwasher yeah i felt bad that don't feel bad i'm pleased to do it i know you like to show off and i want your mom to be like whoa this guy even cleaned this dish better than i could you see this like i'm just surrounded by excellence yeah there's people everywhere who are committed to the ed wallace way okay it's true My mom and Dan are Kindred Spreece Ever since you brought up

Like ever since he died Like you've been anti Ed Wallace I brought it You was like your Infinity Stone or something No because now you You guys are turning it into a bit Like any

Oh it's just the Ed Wallace Oh Ed Wallace You never said his name ever And then now it's a punch line I didn't know about what a great man He was and you taught us That was the point of Your

That's why he's washing dishes You're touching tribute right Yep But no I have I really I would love to hear, like, you said you might have a line on some of that Ed Wallace stuff. Yeah, we've been getting hit up by people. Yeah, people are saying, like, is there anywhere we could put that?

Like, I'd like to hear those things. Okay. We could just put that on our website one day. Are you acting like I don't actually want to? You're, like, dismissing me here. I believe that part. Oh, all right. Yeah, I just haven't gotten up the courage to call his wife yet.

Also, yes. Give me here. I know how to deal with ladies like that. If Ed Wallace becomes the new success is least not. own and rent is due every day. I don't want that. That is a compliment. No, it's not coming from y'all.

In any case. I appreciate that you respect my mom that much. I made a headball's patch. A listener gave me a LeBron patch. She made Dan some little potato skin things with no bacon on them in a little corner row over there. I was very pleased with the entire. The meatballs were fantastic. And I'll be eating them for the next four days because my wife is.

out of town. I will. Yeah, we'll get to that. And then real quick, I will tell you that. So, yeah, I actually wanted to, like, wake up and be able to go to work, which is here, not the Game Day Men's Hell Studio, but today we're high atop my garage. So I put away all the chairs and stuff and kind of cleaned up through all the towels and the laundry. I just wanted everything to be clean for tomorrow.

And as I was putting away the chairs in the attic space, I, This caught my eye and said, you know what? I'm starting this tomorrow. Packing. Oh, look at him go. Okay. It's six days. This is my small suitcase that I'm going to pack for the trip.

And then if I need a few other things, possibly a pillow, I'll hand him to Clayton, as he and Matt Grimm will update on that. And bark. Well, let me let you give the update, because we'll send it over to Clayton for a weekend check. That's mine. Always, we're taking a Sprinter vein.

That's great, right? So load us up. Is my water going to fit? Is that the update? We're literally taking it for Blake's water. Oh, you got a bigger vehicle. Yesterday and said, we need the cargo space for Blake's water,

so we're upgrading to a sprinter van. Is this what it's like to be, Dan? Because I love it. Because the problem was when we came back from California with your, you know, half a ton of water in the back, It kept sloshing around. It costs us doubling gas. Well, dude, we had to stop a lot more.

That thing takes a long time to slow down because of how heavy it was with all that water. So we upgraded that, so the boys will be cruising in style. Another thing speaking for next week, I got a text message that says, please tell Dan that the weather will be a little chilly and there's several chances of rain for the week ahead. As for my mom, she's giving me weather reports. A trusted source on weather. Anyone's mom packs.

I will tune into that. Packs. I just, you know, I know you like to pack early and you like to have smart. I'd love to get her on a text thread with my mom. Let's look at Mike over there. Yeah, she would like to know about Arizona weather, I'm sure. Send the number. And then the only other thing in the content corner,

I found a new sport. I feel like the Super Bowl weekend is big for that. But it's in that category of like games we played as a kid that they became sports, like trampoline basketball. Like that was a thing. I think it was in high school when that came out on Spike TV. Oh yeah. But this, this is just dudes being dudes.

So I'm going to show you a video here. Oh, yeah, yeah. I heard about this. is run it started in Australia. Yeah, it's just two dudes. I got knocked out. It's two dudes like rugby style. Maybe they start about 15 yards away from each other.

And it's just a straight. It's like the XFL's kickoff to start the game. They're just going to run. Full speed into each other. No equipment, obviously. This is like that football drill kind of, right? Yeah. Yeah.

This is. But they just run into each other. Who can stand? Like, who falls and who doesn't? this. Our Islander brothers. Yeah. Of course.

Who were big. Doing a little hawk up beforehand. But like the Oklahoma drill, though, is typically like you're closer together. Like, it's just a basic circle. These guys are running full speed into each other. Right, from like each five or ten yards away from each other. I mean, that's a... Better than slap fight.

I like it better than slap fight. And they, like, water themselves up beforehand so you get the big pop. But, uh... I spent way too much time just watching big dudes run into each other at full speed this weekend. When do we turn that into girls? Oh, my God. Yeah. That'd be fantastic.

I just want representation for my daughters. I want them to know that they could do that, too. Do you think Islanders are concerned about concussions? I think they're born with a couple. Generally. Like, yeah, they have, they're like 15 feet up and they drop them down. so that that's how they're born actually wait where do i see somewhere this weekend i saw this story about someone that died from a fall 15 feet up i bet you did because i bet it made me think about

you but it happens quite often made me think about how worried you were at the the fox four building site if you were to fall out of an unsafe building and get yourself injured i would call the Frankles at 214, 817, 333, 33, 33. Don't tell them if you were planning to fall or something, whatever. The point is, you're hurt. You can tell them anything. It's privilege. It's attorney-client privilege.

That's very dear to them. That's one of their main things. It's like, look, we're not going to tell anybody about your stuff. Seriously, if you get hurt, there's a lot going on. I had an injury this weekend and was reminded of how, like, O-1-S moment that is. Or 8-17, then all threes. you'll talk to a partner. I talked to somebody pretty recently.

It's like, yeah, I gave him a call. Talk to Gene Burkett. Yeah, yeah. He's one of the partners along with the Frankel brothers. So 214 or 817, all three is. And remember you heard about it on the dumb zone. So your last breaths, your gasping four breath. Subscriber 69.

Somebody just had to cut open your neck and put like a straw or something. Straw into there. so you could actually breathe. And you're now able to scribble something down. Make sure you write down Dumb Zone. And that's... So the Frankles know that we sent you there. So...

I'm sorry, your weekend check. I was unable to help last night with washing dishes. And I really wanted to, but I was glad that Dan is a go-getter on that front because I broke my wrist yesterday morning. And it's... I don't know how bad it is. I know that I...

I have to go to an ortho tomorrow morning, orthopedic doctor. And then they'll let me know. It happened during flag football, which... What was the play? Let's describe it. So, and I swear to you, dude, I'm having trouble remembering a little bit of what happened before. And I didn't hit my head at all. It's just, I don't know, the last time I had, like, a real injury.

Honestly, it's probably been about since I met my wife, because when I met her, I had a cast on my other hand. And that was like 14 years ago, 15 years ago. Did you salsa dance at the Giants fans with a cast on? Possibly. Very possibly. It was that same fall. Because that was your first date, wasn't it?

That was not our first day, but it was within the first month. I had a cast on at her company Christmas party, which was our first and a half date. And her company Christmas party, they raffle off big ticket items. And all my tickets were in my suit pocket, and we won an iPad. but I couldn't get my ticket, my raffle ticket out of my pocket in time and they passed on us. So I say I'll have to say like basically the way I remember it, I'm on defense and there's somebody running. I'm backpedaling. They're running behind me.

They're coming across the back of the end zone. Ball is thrown to them. We both go up the same time, big guy. And we just got tangled up in the air. and then I had to come down. And when I came down, I landed on my left wrist, but like if you were doing a backward-facing wrist-rock stretch, which I actually ironically do.

You ever see people doing those on like TikTok to release your forearms? Like your normal push-up position, but flipping around and just trying to loosen that up, feels crazy. Well, I landed like that. And I could just, the second it happened, I'm like, oh, man. you like hear anything?

Yeah, I could hear it. And, like, you get real hot, you know. And I was like, oh, shit, I know what it is. I know what it is. Okay. You try to collect your thoughts. I'm pretty new in this game. You know, I don't know that many people there.

And the ones I do, I've only known for a couple months. But I'm also not really like, I don't want people making a scene. I was just, like, kind of like, I'll go. I got it. It's not my legs. I can drive. So. it started to set in pretty quickly, like, what a, what a my death this was going to be,

because I couldn't get in, I couldn't start my car. My hand was unavailable for anything at this time, my broken wrist, so. My first thought after an injury is, like, was that worth it? And the answer is just always no. No, it's, and I'll tell you, just like somewhat real talk, like, it is effing with me mentally pretty bad. Because, you know, I can get sidetracked pretty obviously. there was a reason I was gone from the show for a month, right? I have to kind of like keep on a way of doing things and keeping a certain mental,

you know, I guess state of mind. And this doesn't help that at all. But at the same time, like, we have a job that's pretty chilled to have a broken hand. I don't have a boss that's like up my ass about this or that. I have the money and insurance to pay for it. Like, it's just going to suck for a little bit. But I'm kind of as gay as it sounds, using. it as like a

this is just an opportunity to be grateful for things you do have and it's just an obstacle and you just sort through it. Another roadblock. They're trying to stop me. Just switch hands for a couple months you're all right.

Yeah, I mean, dude, that's the thing is you quickly forget how fortunate you are, you have two of these. So this shit. You're a lefty writer. Are you a lefty if you're enjoying the adult arts?

No, the only things I do left-handed are feed myself pleasure myself and write. Okay. Everything else is right-handed. It's a lot of stuff. It's a lot of stuff. And like, well, you know what?

Like I brush my teeth. But the main thing is just I wash dishes. I fold the laundry. I do all the stuff around the house. And it's very hard or impossible. Buckling your kid into the seatbelt. Tying your own shoes. These are just things you just don't think about.

What did Nora say? She was like really confused Really confused What do you mean? I don't think she understood That I could get hurt out there I don't know that she knows she can yet You know?

Like when Emu Tom's son Started playing contact football He broke his form I think it like eight And it was It's not even just that you have a broken form It's that you're understanding The concept of injury

So she I almost like Feel like she's gonna be weird About playing sports now for at least a little bit because she was like, what? How did it happen? Who did it to you? I'm like, sometimes you just fall.

You wouldn't believe these Muslim guys did it to me. No, dude, they were super chill about it. Everybody, you know, it sucks. Putting on your pants, your shirt, all that stuff, dude. It's just to be opening anything. Everything is geared, especially if you have kids, for it to take two hands,

because you've got to squeeze one, you got to turn. Plus, you usually open. open it and when you open something, I think, did someone with one hand open this? Already. Was he holding it with his teeth and then ripped it open? Like, whatever it is. You had a 12-pack. The guacamole last night from your curio.

The guacamole, the letter. It all looks the same. Yeah. So now I'm really interested in what it will look like. It's bad. I can tell you that it's important to have thumb to pinky, like I don't have big hands, but they're big enough to shift. and capitalize and move around. Dang. Yeah, typing.

That's what you've got to be able to do, because I'm also not a Siri guy. So it's a pain in the ass. I'm hoping that tomorrow they tell me I don't need surgery and I get a hard cast and we move on. If they do need to do surgery, then maybe I miss a day of the show and I'm flying out on Saturday with a effed up hand,

but we'll work through it. Went to Peppa Pig land on Saturday. Wait, real quick. What's your wife saying? Like, is she just like you're an idiot? Yeah, weekend warrior. Well, see, here's the thing, and I think this is probably like this, I think this is probably why wives don't say anything about golf, too,

as much as we... I use golf guys like, yeah, but look at that. I use my brother-in-law's. How do they let them get away with that? Right? You think I'm doing... Four hours on a Saturday or whatever. I think those women are like, well, it makes him not crazy.

So I have to sort of accept some of the downside. like a guy jokingly out there the other day a couple weeks ago who's about my age i was like yeah still coming out here he's like yeah people always like i can't believe your wife lets you come out there i don't he's like well she doesn't want me to kill my family at home i'm like i feel that so i think you know she understands that i there's some level of mental peace that i get from going and competing but it's hard to look at this and be anything other than judgmental right i can feel you both doing it right now. I feel for you.

I'm not walking around looking for any pity. It sucks. I feel like an asshole. I can't believe I have to tell Jackson Torino's or Jacob Mizorowski. No, just like as you can't like pick Carter up, like she's just looking at you. She's trying to just look away from it, I can tell. Remember. She doesn't want to say anything mean, and I appreciate that.

Sometimes that's the best route. A couple topics carry over from yesterday on your arm. one we need a white all white cast so that we can get signatures on it and some you know when the 2026 Milwaukee Brewers win that world series you're going to have all their autographs on this cast that will be hanging in our studio the game day mensel studio game day dot dumbzone dot com is a great idea phoenix plans pat murphy signs my he's the peace stela resistance on my cast This one came on quick I knew it was coming off

Do we need a better story So they'll actually like Oh okay I'll do it Cancer arm Well we thought Yesterday we had the idea of like Can I get to the front of the line In front of the vet

The veterans on the plane That's our goal You need to push them in a wheelchair Yeah absolutely I mean it does kind of throw everything off And then the other topic was You chose to go to urgent care which I found very odd

just because if I'm ever in any, I mean, especially living here. You live in grapevine and there's a hospital in grapevine. It's one thing if there's a hospital 20 minutes away. It's right there. It's where you live. Wouldn't you go to that emergency room?

Like that seems like solid. I know that's a real emergency room with doctors and stuff. Or you went to urgent care. Which I would never consider doing that if there was a broken bone or my kid I don't I don't really have much to say we've taken our kid to that emergency room

I've taken myself to that emergency room to the one at the hospital yeah I just I just it's a weird mindset I guess I've never thought about it and I've never thought about it the other way that's why I don't I don't really know that I have much of a take I just

what would you do Blake your wife's a nurse I just assumed they would tell me when I went there I went to care now by the way for us we'd be like you gotta keep it moving dude Care now. And it's different, Jimmy said, than in a private emergency room where they do charge you emergency room prices, even though they're not at a hospital. This was like $150 with my insurance.

And, you know, they do x-rays there. I assume they would have said, this is horrible. You've got to keep moving if it was, in fact, horrible. But this is where, like, when we would get hurt in sports growing up, this is where we would go. Yeah, luckily, I don't have to think about any of this stuff now. Like, my wife is in charge of this. If anything were to happen, I call her, what do I do? I'll let her triage it.

But I would think she would tell you to go to the ER to get an x-ray. Yeah, that is cool to have a nurse wife just being able to call her. Sick kid. Yeah, injuries. That's you. What a bonus. Then she gets naughty. Yep.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, and the demeanor of the people at the place, they weren't, like, panicked. You know? I mean, the guy was like, okay, probably. see this is broken you know i can't really tell you like if you need surgery or not he's he takes a drag on a cigarette you know i didn't love the bubbly nature of the assistant female yeah i don't know good morning i just wasn't i mean it's like you know what brings the end today and even the lady like i was in the lobby you know i had kind of tried to figure out like a way

that wouldn't hurt uh and it really involved me kind of hanging my own like uh like a scarecrow And, you know, the lady was like, are you, you know, are you doing all right? I'm like, not real. Yeah, I just walked into the. Yeah. Because I was like kind of making noise. And then we got back to. Yeah, I'm doing great.

Got back there, the lady's just like, all right, let's get your height. I'm like, no. All right. Yeah, how important is that? Right now. It's probably the same. I've been here before. I don't know.

Silly. And then I just wanted to give one PSA. Went to Peppa Pigland on Saturday. and I don't know if this is going to become a thing across the youth entertainment industry, but for all my Lucy dads out there, this is now the second or third place we've been told you can't bring your pouches in here, dads.

It was like six of us really. That checks for Peppa Pig. Why? I don't know. Is it because of... You can hand him out? No, the bad actor. in the pouch community,

don't you hate seeing like a couple pouches, like... I do. In the urinal. Oh, yeah. I'm just going to throw them in there. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm just going to, it'll just, like, just on the floor somewhere. You're like, wait, what is, what's going on here?

What kind of an animal was doing this? And now that's going to make the pouches, as if it's the pouch fall. Yeah, bad PR. The vape is banned, too. And the guy was, like, really taking pleasure in it. I can kind of see that a little more. Yeah. It's all outdoor. And honestly...

But the pouches is banned. thing. I think what you do is you say don't, don't vape. And then all the adults that want to will be smart about it and won't make a huge deal out of it. But the guy, you know, he was like 75 and we're all 40 and he goes, oh, is that what I think it is?

Yeah, dude. What is this? Prom? Boy, he loves that. And we all, dude, you talk about a group of like 38 to 44-year-old men all walking back out to their cars by themselves trying to get another Lucy

Lucy.com slash dumbzone So you're not allowed to have if he saw the Lucy in your pocket so if you had just put him in a little plastic bag he won't know. And he didn't. Okay.

Funny. Hey, I'd like to, or you're moving on from yours, right? Yeah, we could do the rest of the Lucy read if you want while we're here. Oh, okay. You know what? Go ahead, talk Lucy for a moment with Blake and continue

the weekend check because for once I've had too many howl waters this morning. Okay, that's fine. Lucy.com and use promo code Dumbzone. That'll get you 20% off, always free shipping. Lucy is my preferred nicotine pouch I'm wondering on my car right now, but I keep that thing on me. I'm an 8 milligram

apple ice breaker type in the regular pouches they go up at 12. They've got gums. If that's your move, I have not had a single person that I have given a Lucy pouch to. who has said anything other than these are the best pouches that I've ever had. The specialists saw your can at Training Camp,

who I think they were fans of the other product. They tried your Lucy, and I became their mule for the rest of the season. The plug. You switched them. And that's because Blake could get 20% off. Lucy.com slash Dumbzone, 20% off and always free shipping. I do subscribe and save, so they'll just ship you those bad boys. Here comes to fine print.

Lucy products are only for adults of legal age, and every order is age verified. product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. I'll start while he's in there. Go. So Friday, we were in Salina. I made the drive west of Denton had a Argyll basketball doubleheader.

And they both lost. Oh, no. So that sucks. So does that mean, what do you mean boys and girls play back to back? Yeah. Yeah, so we do the girls, get a little 15-minute time in between, do some interviews, pre-game, whatever, and then do the boys. Are they both powerhouses? The girls are.

The boys are rebuilding. Okay. But yeah, I had to do the girls game by myself, which I enjoy because that's one of the reasons I do it is to work on my delivery, my confidence, all that kind of stuff. So having to do a game by myself, I don't mind at all. But having to do a loss by yourself is interesting. Would you ever do it with fake Brad Davis next year? Yeah, I really do. Yeah, I mean, that is kind of.

doing the game by yourself, isn't it? How fun would that be? Step back. Would you think, would that just diminish the importance of? Or would you actually do it sometime? Sure. I think that'd be funny. Go for it.

You should take calls, like the desperadoes with fourth quarter phonage. We could. I got through a couple times. Do you remember we once did Mark Fowle doing real-life play-by-play? I loved that bit. I loved that bit. Like Fahlewell was filling in for Bob once. and Jake was there

and we did follow-all doing real-life play-by-play so like he was just doing play-by-play at the register at the 7-11 the one by the studio will he grab a meat stick no and he will not but

follow-all didn't know it we let fake Brad Davis be his cohort but we turned off like you know there's a way you can feed it so the guy you're talking to on the phone wouldn't hear stuff we're doing and we're making fun of them. Yeah, we did that to Terry Middleton.

So we basically did that because Follow-O would not have thought that was funny to do fake Brad Davis. So I don't even know if he knows to this day. Yeah, I don't know, Dan. Saturday morning I went to a funeral. Oh. We were just having fun. Yeah.

It was one of my grandpa's 42 buddies. Oh, so a life well lived. Yeah. Yeah, but it was weird because, you know, I had only known. him for a year or so and I only saw him once a week. But going to his funeral and seeing like what he looked like as a 30 year old and, you know, all of his kids. And it was fun learning about him. It was weird. Typically you go there, you're sad. You remember everything. But I was like, I just learned everything about your life. At least the good stuff. Yeah. No one's really

highlighting. No. Yeah. I just knew that he liked Arkansas and he liked Those Werther's Carmel's. But, yeah, he had a job and family and stuff. Well, that's a real old person thing to know about him. Oh, yeah. He likes Carmel's. Wothers. Every week he'd bring him and pass him out.

Or butterscotch. I've been thinking a lot about, and I know we've mentioned this before, it's not that novel of a notion, but just what the old folks' homes are going to be like for people my age. Mm-hmm. And is that even a silly, like, society will be so different? It's impossible to even conceive of just moving forward 40 years. 40 years what will that be like but man I mean if you move back

yeah move backwards 40 years could they have conceived of the society we have now? No not not you know yeah probably not but I'm just thinking about like you know when you go like to an old folks home now and people are just like sometimes you maybe people are just

kind of rambling like borderline schizophrenic stuff like that's just the news now so like when I'm 80 and I'm like and then the unabomber sent something to John Bonaise mom, and then she was married to Galane Maxwell's dad, who, like, it's just the, I don't know.

Old folks' homes are going to be an interesting look for people from this time. I can't wait to go. Jake Paul will be the president. Did he call Bad Bunny a fake American? That's all that headline. That's very funny to me. But also, between the dog a few weeks ago and Vern, this guy that Brooks got to know.

It's been a nice little just tiptoe into what death is for Brooks. Like we didn't have to start with Grandpa or something, but he's starting to understand. So I... And I don't want to say that was a part of it from the very beginning. Because the reason I started taking Brooks up there is I didn't want him to be afraid of adults.

And you got to be nice to the old people. I know they smell bad. Such a fine line here. I don't want you to be afraid of adults. I also don't want you to hop in their car. I thought we said kidnapping is not back or is gone away. No, Dan's right, but there's a way to kind of. Kidnapping is absolutely back.

Savannah Guthrie's mom. She's 90. Yeah, but she's a high-value target, dude. Kidnapping is super back. You better watch your ass. Whatever. Take him. You.

Me? Yeah. I can't be kidnapped. Damn, somehow I kind of believe that. We don't have a good track. I believe it more when he says it than when I say. I wanted to talk some trash. Well, I mean, Dan could just find my location.

He'd come get me. That's good point. Great. But will he go get you? But yeah, no, the, it's not even just to be afraid of adults thing, but it's just being kind to old people. Just put it that way. Because really, all you're trying to do, whether it's with the dog, whether it's with the kid with special needs, whether it's with old people, you want your kid to understand. understand other people have a hard time and you should be chill about it and not make it worse.

It's kind of a whole name of the game. And then they're like, can we laugh about it sometimes? And we're like, yes, if you're nice enough. Yeah. No, I get really proud of him whenever we would show up, he would go tell everyone high, give him a hug. That's incredible, dude. That's where I felt like. So worth it.

Maybe I'm not bad at this. Sunday we had our first official softball practice. We practiced softball. revenge tours starting. I did not think that men's adult teams practice softball. Probably at least for the season. Knock some rest off. I mean, I haven't played since July.

So go take some cuts, see some grounders. Did you see Chris? Get the arm loosened up. Does he go to practice? No. The listener of ours who went to every one of your games. He is coming to at least the first game. Filmed every at bat Blake had last year without Blake knowing it.

I had no idea. We should get that TikTok video. back out there. Blake mashing. When's the first game? The 22nd. Okay. Okay.

The night of Jimmy Nelson's comedy. Jimmy Nelsoncom. Dallas Comedy Club. It's headway. It's got a show. February 22nd. And then had a birthday party to go to before a Super Bowl stream.

This was on our side of town. It was really close to where softball was, so just swung by. And I've told you that my favorite part of the birthday parties has been Brooks being in the birthday pictures get all the kids together they're all classmates they all know each other then there's brooks in the middle cheese in just like everyone else I have a new favorite thing and that's when we all sing happy birthday Brooks loves to sing happy birthday but he doesn't

know the kid's name it's happy birthday to and then he just clams up and he looks around and then just lets it go and then happy birthday to you so you don't make it a point to tell him who's... No. No. He doesn't just show up. Look on graphics

for final two bullet points. He's not sure which one of them were here for. No. He took his shoes off and he ran out there and enjoyed the gymnastics

floor. Yeah, the kid doesn't care. The birthday kid's not like you will. I demand fealty from the newcomer. No. And how is your gift bag when you leave?

Or his. Are you rating these as you go? No, we didn't have one to. for this weekend. He did, the dad did give me a gift.

Dude, I heard about a slick new move. I don't think I've seen it deployed yet. Somebody else may have to be the first in the group to do it. But my wife was telling me, because like, I don't think, it's just like the wedding thing.

It's just this industrial complex, the child birthday industrial complex. Nobody wants to spend the money that they're spending. It's an arms race. The only reason you're doing it is because you did it. and then on down. And that's how the gift bags are. Nobody really wants to get them or give them.

Yeah, who started? There's nothing good in them. It's usually like popcorn, a couple small things. Like, the kids are okay with it, but they don't need it. They just see other kids getting them and think they need one. So one, I'm going to say entrepreneurial and giving parent put out, like, donate to this charity in our name. Like as, and they'll know, too. and then put a QR code for actually they just signed up for a subscription for the dumbs.

That's a great idea too, but I think just putting the... I just think putting it on the parent of like, I know you thought you were spending $20 on this. You still are. Now pick one of these charities or look like the parent who didn't... You make it public. Right, right. That's a nice little bit. He did have a very established run guy thing because he said he won this birthday party at this gymnastics place at a golf,

tournament. So it's like a $400 value. He got it for like $1.75. Nice. Didn't tell his wife. Awesome. Hey, let's do this party. I thought that was a good bit. That's a great charity, man. It's our favorite. Second favorite. Because our first favorite is where we got a bid, a winning bid to have

champ come out and have pizza with us on a bus. Oh yeah. We need that. We still need to schedule very soon. That's true. That's true. We good? Good. Gucci. Well, then we can talk about Flooring Direct DFW for just a moment. Just a moment.

Yeah, maybe you miss Valentine's, but I think this is a great thing to get for, just get the process moving with your lady. Like, hey, I listen to this podcast. You know what we could use in here, hon? New floors. We don't have to go anywhere. They're going to bring us to samples, and you know what ladies love, Dan?

Samples. They like little tiny facsimiles of something that's actually larger. They do. They like to inspect it. Flooring Direct can hook you up with that very easily. I went to the website landing page. Flooring Direct, dfW.com slash dZ or slash dumbzone. Apparently that works. And they've got a little funny bio of us. And then there's a video of Kyle Gibson trying to teach you how to strike out Blake. Excellent. That's interesting that they put that up there. But that has nothing to do with, yes, they're great deals.

They bring the store to you at flooring direct, DFW.com slash dZ 972-449-9456. From the wonderful world of sports, radio sports, scoreboard.

Oh, yeah, I like that. Blake hates flyovers. I love we had to fly over last night. We have a Qualis drone that was out there. Do we have any video of that? That was exceptional. Our Qualis drone, you know, Qualis is a big sponsor for all of our game streams, but was flying high overhead the den?

Look there. It's still out there, actually. It is, yeah, that's live right now. You can see this Clayton's car, my car. Yeah, so that's Qualis will, you know, inspect your roof. And they'll use a drone to do it. And now we have a drone at all of our big events. And yesterday was the Super Bowl.

So that is a big event. And what notes do we have? Oh, I just wanted to say a little props to Clayton. We always give thanks to everybody for doing the program. But we never throw it out to Clayton. It's a great-looking product on the YouTube. So check that out. Somewhat ironically, very similar to an offensive lineman.

Yeah. When you don't hear his name. Right. No, no, no. If something is a little off, then you're like, then, yes, if you call out his name, then, but generally things go perfect. So that's why you don't really hear much about Clayton. So, yeah, the game was fun and stuff if you want to go watch it on YouTube. That's cool.

But the game overall, just as a football game, not very good. No one wants a, it was funny. Collinsworth was trying to sell the game early on. It's 3-0. It's the end of the first quarter. And we're all like, oh, man, it didn't look like there was going to be a lot of scoring at all. And he was like, oh, Mike, this is a pass rush on both of these teams.

Both these defensive coordinators were throwing haymakers at each other. So that's how he was trying to sell three and out, three and out, three and out, three and out, three and out. out, the defensive coordinators were throwing haymakers. I think you know, our little tiny peanut-sized brains enjoy offensive

shootouts and that's throwing haymakers, right? That like scoring, scoring, scoring, scoring is haymaker. But maybe a purist would love that game in some way. Yeah, I would like to watch a team like Seattle over the course of a season and root for them, but

it is not a one game fun way to play, you know? The Chiefs are one game, but probably maybe even maddening over the course of the season. But the Seahawks are not, and the Patriots were fortunate to be there. So I don't know, what was the story coming into the game was Seattle should win handily unless Sam Donald has a Sam Donald game, and maybe New England can force him into that. He had some really good throws, but he also had some puck luck yesterday. I'm not getting any turnovers, I thought.

Had some puck luck. But he also turned down some, there were some times where, I think Collinsworth even called it out. You know, it'd be third and seven or eight. He would kind of put the ball. It wasn't a throwaway, but it was a throwaway. Because it was 12-0, and they started realizing. Well, and that's, is it good coaching?

Is it Sam Darn? You know, who do we credit there? But you should give credit for that. Yeah. Because we've seen, I don't know, I can. somehow I'm thinking Romo against Detroit. I was about to say Romo just in general. Just say, yeah, hey, I know we're up, but, I mean, yeah, these are good, you know,

you grew up in the, you have a lot of Ravens in you. You're probably going to say, yeah, I got a 12-0 lead. Now, the Ravens have fallen victim to that in the past by then they give up a bunch of points in the fourth quarter. Sure. By not keeping your foot on the gas, but it didn't look like there was a lot of gas, you know, to be pushed against the New England defense. That's tough defense as well. And so, yeah.

And to the haymakers point, they were coming after him early. New England was blitzing Donald early a lot more than they usually do. And he just kind of withstood it. Neither quarterback was good. It's just that Donald could escape and occasionally make a play. And they really didn't. Yes, the MVP runner up had a bad game. So not a great day if you really didn't watch a lot of New England football this year.

I think most people didn't. I think you were not locked into New England. And all of a sudden, wow, look at their record. Oh, they haven't played anyone. Okay, I'll watch them in the playoffs. And then you didn't really see a ton in the playoffs either. Oh, maybe it was awful. I mean, there's a couple of statistics.

If we go back to the year 2000, across four games, that's the worst average, by EPA, it's the worst average game. Like, it's the worst run ever. Now, he also had an extra game. By a playoff team? Yeah. By. Not any four run for any games.

I think this is minimum two. Okay. And it's average, but still, he did have another game in there to add to how bad it was, but that also could have saved it. but he was terrible. He was terrible in every game this postseason. And I don't know that I'm not, I was never that in on the guy is the thing. I'm not trying to now say, oh, yeah, like I just never really thought that he was that special.

I would take Jackson Dart over Drake May right now. Yeah, it's interesting how getting to the Super Bowl, because I think getting to the Super Bowl, many people were saying, okay, Jared Gough, he's a top five quarterback now, the first, you know, when he got to the Super Bowl. Right. And then your opinions had, you know, shifted over the years. Like, is it just because they're in the Super Bowl? Are they in the Super Bowl?

Are they in the Super Bowl because of Drake May? What about Jalen Hertz? You know, this is, this is a, that's this on steroids, where you're like, I don't know. I don't know how much of that you're really doing on your own. It doesn't matter because it's way better than not having a quarterback at all. But I'm not excited about the career of Drake May. It feels like the people that,

did vote for Drake May for MVP over Stafford, we're saying it was the lack of talent around him that Stafford had. Stafford had all the talent around him, and he has McVeigh. Whereas Drake May, who named, you know, Diggs, otherwise not a lot of weapons to work with. But he had a bad game. Also, I think having a bad game is the coach of the year. I know he looks football-y,

and I would love to have Rable as my coach. for whatever team I'm, you know, rooting for. But I thought early on, it was a mistake not to challenge the Cooper Cup bobbling catch at the sideline. Yeah. If you remember that play, I think later in the first quarter, but it was already shaping up to be this is going to be a defensive haymakers thrown at each other. And that was a play that I might have wanted to look at.

In real time, I thought you would look at it. I thought the fourth and one down, fourth and one at your own 40. When they were down 12-0, I think that's mid-third quarter or so. They elected to punt there. And I don't know. Not that they were rolling or anything. The offense wasn't great, but you actually had only one yard to go here. Well, I think the bigger problem is I'd have to go back and watch the play,

but they took a deep shot on third and one. So you just run the ball twice. You know what I mean? Playing for fourth down on third down. Well, maybe if you're going to take that deep shot, though, that's indicating you're going to go for it on fourth down. You know? Perhaps.

I would just think if I think I'd like to do it. Just move the change is one thing. Yeah. I'd like to think I can get a yard with two running plays if I'm a hard-nosed, tough football team. Man, I have a quarterback that can run. I know it was also a long one, but you're right. That's a bad point, no matter how you arrived at it.

And then down 19 nothing. Inexplicable. In the fourth quarter. So now you score a touchdown. So it's 19 to 6. And you don't go for two. If you go for two and get it, it's now a touchdown and a field goal and you can tie. If you go for one and get it, which they did.

Was he asked about it? I don't know. I didn't see anything. But did that one? Yeah, I need to look at the post-game press conferences, I guess. there really wasn't any any but it wasn't also if it came down to you know i mean once they start fumbling and throwing interceptions and seattle pours it on a little bit it didn't matter like so i wonder if the media is going to be hard on that knowing that in the long run it didn't

really matter. It was kind of a Hail Mary type thing anyway. You'd have to still then score another touchdown, score a field goal. That somehow win in overtime or whatever. It's a possession decision of the Super Bowl. I think you should ask about it. He's the coach of the year, as you said. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm, I'm jealous of, I'm jealous of the Seahawks. I'm jealous of the direction that some of these teams are headed. There's a lot of articles out there now about the era of the general manager. So I was reading Mike Sando this morning. Do you read that?

A little bit of it. Yes. John Schneider. And John Schneider, only general manager now ever to win two Super Bowls with a different head coach. Dude, and they're not. Unless, this is my caveat. Jerry counts.

That's a great point, though. But it's not even just like with Schneider, that's a decade. decade apart. You know, there's a chance you could have a Jerry, Jimmy, uh, Barry type thing over the course of four or five years or something. That's insane. That's a different franchise quarterback, if you even want to call Darnold that. That is complete turnover of your roster.

That is probably, honestly, a period of time in which a lot of, I have to go back and look at their record, but other ownership groups might have fired him. John Schneider, the GM of the Seahawks, just because the pressure was very high. And instead, you know, they ended up putting Pete Carroll out to pasture and sticking with John Schneider. So, yeah, you see Brandon Bean being held on to earlier this year in Buffalo as they fired Sean McDermott. It's an interesting dynamic.

But it's undoubtable that John Schneider knows what he's doing. Like the many different ways that that team was constructed. It's fun. It's a fun way to do it. Yeah, they, he just built a team. You know, they're a very strong team, and there isn't any one thing. They've drafted well, but they've made some key trades.

They've made some key free agent acquisitions, like DeMarcus Lawrence, is a great acquisition for this year. And, yeah, and obviously the decision Now it might have been helped as we were earlier was it last week or a couple weeks ago we were talking about the fact that the Gino Smith negotiations were kind of stalled like they were trying to resign Gino Smith. Yeah. And that wasn't going the way they wanted. So then that's when they decided, well, let's just go get Darnold and like Darnold will accept this offer that we're asking Gino Smith to accept.

And he's saying no. Okay. Well, I'll take Darnold then. I don't know that they really considered them to be that different of quarterbacks. But he may have said, hey, Darnold has shown a little more, you know, last year. And if I'm going to get Darnold at the same price or less, then, yeah, let's go with Darnold. And he got Darnold at the same price or less. They're 14 and 3.

You know, the other weird note, they have a winning record against everybody on their schedule this year, except do you know blake the rams go ahead baker oh because they were one of winning they had three losses this year one's against the rams one's against the fourty-niners

uh i learned that from sod today got it the rams numbers are insane like the fact that the rams and i guess it's chris schula have just been able to figure out darnold and whatever they're doing but nobody else has I don't know. It's a weird one. It's a weird one.

Been good offensively against them. Right? Wait, let me back up. Because you said. The Rams have, the Rams have, so Seattle scored against, yeah, they were both pretty high scoring games, right? Yeah. The Rams have only been able to score against Seattle.

Seattle's surprisingly been able to score against the Rams, yeah. It's not a team that jumps off the page at you. Like, nobody's going to pick them to repeat. Right? No. It's not like when the Eagles are Chiefs wins, and immediately. But if the Patriots had won, people probably would have started that hype train. But nobody, you're going to look at the NFC and you might not even have them in the top three.

Yeah, I thought watching the matchup last night, we could have the, I don't know. I just feel like with how much turnover there is in the NFL and these two teams playing first-place schedules, they may get wildcard births. Yeah, it's very possible. Where was Seattle last year? Didn't Seattle win a lot of one score? Well, it was that the year before. Anyway, I don't know. Watching the Chiefs and the Eagles, you're right.

You think they're going to repeat. But those two teams last night, I don't know if they could stay back. Stay back. Stay vented. What was the Seahawks final record last year? Like what kind of schedule do they have this year? Yeah. 10 to 7? Yeah.

Okay. That's no. But do you know the other thing, too, is just the NFL is a perfectly fine-tuned machine. Like, then in the final game, it seems like it, breaks a little bit, but like all the playoff games just seem like a perfectly calibrated marketplace. And then I don't know, for whatever reason, when you get to the Super Bowl, it seems like too often there's a, yeah.

Well, that used to be the case all the time. Right. And it was because of a big discrepancy between the conferences. Conferences, yeah. Remember when it was Cowboys 49ers? Like, that's the real Super Bowl? Sure. It turns out Rams Seahawks is probably the real Super Bowl.

We just didn't. You didn't have that feeling like you used to. to like well whoever the a fc sends over is going to lose yeah i said a lot of people i saw the meme last night of just replacing the super bowl graphic with the amazon thursday night prime football graphic because that's how the game was just oh god everybody just waiting to get this over with where's that dog uh let's talk about own well for a moment own well is a way that you can reduce your property taxes. I've done that. It takes like five minutes, if that, to just go sign up initially with Onwell. And then you're going to kind of forget you did it. And then next year, they're going to

go, oh, hey, Ownwell here. We went over your property taxes this year, and we saved you $1,000. Like, they will save you money. And so there's other services that do this, too. own well will take the least amount of money as a payment like 25% whereas other places 40 50% of whatever they save you so if own well saves you a thousand dollars it'll cost you 250 dollars thank you own well yeah and again you're only paying if they save you money ownwell dot com slash the dumb zone is where you go for a no risk very easy uh set up of this process ownwell dot com slash the dumb zone if trying to save money you know you hear about like oh, you get a dollar off this, a dollar off that, maybe a free coffee here.

Ownwell can save you hundreds of dollars on your property tax bill without you having to do a thing other than go to ownwell.com slash the dumb zone. Elsewhere. I have a statement to make. Oh, mark that, Beth. People make mistakes. Kemp spin aside, I think Mike Tarrico might be good. He's not great.

and I definitely think he would get a painting of himself over his own mantle like Jim Nance. I don't think he's quite Nance's level of sticking his ass, though. He's on the same path. He's on that trajectory. He sees himself as Jim Nance. Pride loves art. I am the voice of NBC.

I lead the whole network. Prestige. Yeah. Like you never felt that from Joe Buck. No, I don't even know. He thought he was solid. I was in a different era, but I never felt that way about Pat Summerall. Like, I mean, obviously he had gravitas, but he didn't seem like the type of guy who would just shit on a waiter.

I wonder if this is a Fox thing. Just because, I mean, it's an old style thing. It's like Walter Cronkite is the face of the network. But sports-wise, it was Musburger. It was the face of CBS. Then they fired him. and then they did it to elevate Nance. And Nance has been like the guy.

And I think that's how Tariq views himself is. I'm the whole network. If there's an Olympics, something, I'm on it. And that's working against me when I say that I don't mind him because I acknowledge all that, but I just think he calls a good game. And maybe it's just that I like the booth. Yeah, I like Collinsworth.

They're just good together. Even if it's corny at times, I think they're a good booth. Any... Oh, any MVP thoughts? No. Other than much like the WNBA and the sportsperson of the year, it should just be, quote, the Seahawks defense. And I promise you that if you were to sit down with the Seahawks or a film room coaching staff or whatever and let them decide, the most important player in the game, other than maybe Christian Gonzalez from keeping it from being a blowout because he had like three or four PBOs on deep balls.

There's definitely a player on the Seahawks defense that was the most important. I just can't tell you. TV copy, I don't know what I'm looking at as much, but I promise you in their meeting, there's one of those DBs or one of those tackles where they're like, holy shit. Right, kind of like a Micah would make everyone around him better type thing, but Micah didn't end up with stats. Exactly.

And absent and a very good offensive performance, that's probably one of those guys. because, I mean, Christian Gonzalez basically took JSN out of the game. But they did do a – they tried some stuff where they put him in the backfield, ran him out, and then they would run a screen to the other side. Clint Kubiak, new head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. Oh, really? Yeah.

Well, wait. Did we know that already? Last night. Oh, okay. I think it was just like confirmed – it was a rumor, but he couldn't say it. how they sold the team this morning right there's jody allen the seahawks are transferring ownership well i knew they had to do that it was since paul allen died they've been working on that i think for quite a few years right but i feel like this is it like that end of that season was the

was was it or like that they're it's on sale now the allen family is getting out We can't have another lady owner? I want lady owners. She got to hold the trophy, which is insane. Do you like that? A hundred-year-old lady. Like, here you go. What do you think about handing the trophy to the owner first?

I hate it. I hate it. I heard somebody else talking about it. I thought it was normal, but apparently they don't, and I can't confirm this. But apparently they don't even do this in other countries where you have like some Russian mobster or some. some like oil chic who owns a team, they don't even get to do it. Right. That's why, like, I hated Dumont.

Oh, my God. Holding, like, the Western, like, what are you doing there at all? Like, what have you done? The only thing now that we know he's done is just tear the whole thing apart. But, like, when they got to the finals and Luke is on the podium and kids up there and all that, it's like, okay, let's hand this to Patrick Dumont. We had never seen him. we had no idea who he was.

He's just smiling. Yeah, and what are you going to do when all the teams are owned by like 12 different investment groups? Right. Which is, yeah. Put a Black Rock t-shirt on it. Yeah.

There was a little talk about could it be a kicker wins the MVP. Would have had to make a long one. Would it had to make a couple long ones in the game winner, something like that. I think the only kicker that could win an MVP in the Super Bowl, I think we know him.

Can I play you a little? bit of audio. We'll dance around, weave it in, do the weave. The weave. Okay, so this is, we're going to play, hmm, how do I want to do this? So, this is an NBC graphic, and they've got to tell the story of Mike McDonald's with a cartoon, okay? Now, they decided, because what would you do?

I don't know. I don't know anything about the guy. Like, I know he's a defensive coach. He came from the Raven. He sees his kid 30 minutes a week. Does a raven turn into a seahawk? Oh, okay. Did you miss that story during the playoffs, Dan?

Yes, I missed. Well, he said, he didn't say it like in a bragging way like guys used to, like grind-cultory. But they were like, you know, what's your week like? I mean, I think they brought up his young son. And he's like, well, I try to be there for about 30 minutes on Thursday afternoon. Other than that, I don't really see him during the season. Okay, yeah. But that's what I know about him.

I don't know anything about him. I guess I do know his last name. You know how much I love special teams. Okay, yeah, I'm going to leave this part in here too just because we know this from Brandon, Tariko, and it's very apparent once it's in your head if you watch a game he does. The guy lives for special teams. You know how much I love special teams, right, partner? Yes, sir.

My Super Bowl. Overlast. With the kick. It's short. Josh. Stale. And they were able to keep the schooler away for that one. And it's down at the 27-yard line.

All right, graphic time. Like McDonald's closing in, he's 16 minutes, 55 seconds would be becoming a Super Bowl champ. He was born in Massachusetts, moved to Georgia. Can you hear any of what those sound effects are? That was a chicken. Yeah. He was born in Massachusetts, moved to Georgia at the age of seven. Played high school ball there, went to the university in Georgia.

dogs and then he was about football and being around a grader assistant but then he had a business finance degree as well he was going to work in finance but there are a number of shots of a cartoon farm 2014 that coaching dream alive got an internship with the ravens and a dozen years later here he is the third youngest person to be a head coach in the super ball he's got a chance to be one of the youngest Super Bowl winners ever. Okay, they just, they just did Old McDonald. They just got the song, Old McDonald's. His name is McDonald.

And then did a bunch of graphics of like a chicken coop, a barn, showed some chickens, showed some cows. Has he been to a farm ever? I don't know. Okay, I didn't, yeah, I couldn't pick that up. Is it that unique of a last name so that you could focus in on it? Like if his last name were like, Drifter.

Right. They're like, what are we going to do? I don't know. Get the old McDonald graphic. Here's one reason I respect Terico more than Jim Nance because you knew at some point we were going to have to cover that Drake May has been to a Super Bowl in this stadium before story. Now, when Jim Nance told the story, you would have thought Drake May had cancer.

It was just down on his luck. And here he is. He was fortunate enough as a local street urchin. to find his way into the biggest game of the mall. Right, and he had to point out it was second deck or whatever. And then they showed a picture of it last night. Yeah. Is this spoiling anything for you?

Well. Well, this is the second Super Bowl played here when the Carolina Panthers were here against Denver and Super Bowl 50. Drake May had a seat with his dad in Section 108. Melissa asked him about it right before. I mean, I don't know. I've been to a bunch of stadiums. There must be two 108 if that's not a great seat. They're standing in the lower bowl.

Like they're almost on the field. Well, what about the thing around his neck? Do you remember? No. He had a landing. Oh, yeah, he had a VIP. He had a VIP pass. They were on the field moments before that.

Yeah, there you go. He's a little kid. His dad was the quarterback at the University of North Carolina. He's a very well-known, very successful businessman. He was pretty much royalty there. Yeah. And yeah, he had a pass. to get in, they got into the Super Bowl free.

And then he was probably walking around on the field. At least, Torrico would just say it. Section 108. No sad story, no like, oh, how magical. Let me see what this one is. And it was in San Francisco. Because I had a little editing error. Because that was part of Nancy's thing.

It was in San Francisco. The stars have aligned. Right. Let me see what this is. You see a little join there. Stefan Diggs was involved with one of Seahawks. defenders. Meantime we have some rocket scientists

running on the field and they'll get that fan at some point. Actually, the player is going to try to help corral them as well and bring him down and get him out of here. Okay, we'll come back to that, but this is a streaker, folks. Do you know what time of game is that? About 13 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Because I want to, I might be able to roll or figure out what the New England Patriots radio is doing.

I would love that. Okay. So we had Streaker on the field It was also a weird moment Yeah you can see it on video here Because There was a Seahawks hit A Seahawks hit a Patriot player out of bounds

Diggs got up Went after the player And then there was like a punch thrown But nothing happened And during the time they were trying to settle all that out That's when this happened Oh okay Yeah and

Can you be called a streaker if you're wearing pants Like, he's wearing full pants. He just has no shirt. That's a good point. I think you probably do have to run your word. Why do you want him to run pants off? Because that is the definition of streaker. Right.

Otherwise, it's a guy running with his shirt off. Say that. I want a visual. You are painting a picture for me. I'm an audio guy. And I think shirt off pants on is closer to fully clothed than it is to being naked. Yeah. You're not halfway there.

Do the other way around. That's all right. That's a play. Let's see, Tariko, and I think they're going to bring in Terry here. This is just fine. Mike Brable is in a heated conversation with Eugene Hall, the side judge who was getting involved in the situation that was going on with Stefan Diggs.

Eugene Hall's working his fourth Super Bowl. He was trying to jump in and diffuse this. This was out of bounds on the Patriot's sideline, and that hit over there that happened, which caused Diggs to come back after Josh Jones. No flags were threatened. and the officials got in there quickly. Terry McCauley, should that have been a foul on Seattle with the hit out of bounds?

Absolutely, Mike. He's out of the play. He's clearly out of bounds. He knocks him downs. And a punch there, Terry, as you saw. Yeah, he absolutely should have been penalized. Is he going to get thrown out of the game now? No, he can't, he can't, Chris, because they didn't throw a flag at all in field.

So New York can't do anything with this at this point. I didn't know that. I mean, they have clear his day. The dude taking a full swipe. And he almost hit the ref in the face. So New York can't... Because they didn't flag it. Wire in and say throw a flag now?

No. I guess you can't. I guess not. And they also... If there's no flag, no infraction, they can't... Because you don't review flags. Which is probably how those desperadoes players got away with the pitchfork thing. You just...

You don't flag it. Now, everyone saw it. Not Dialloburgs. But he's one of the classiest guys on the roster. But I thought Diggs deserve... deserved it too. Yeah, yeah. So that would have been an easy spot for the double flag,

but it did seem like, do you feel like the refs were under a... Let's not make this a rest game? It's a Super Bowl. I wonder if that's every year at the Super Bowl. If they're like, look, if it's agreed, you know, early on, maybe, you know, later in the game, there was a holding call that negated a touchdown,

which was a little... Which was an odd, if you haven't been doing that all-game, thing it was odd but it felt like they were swallowing the whistle as they say and on that play in particular because that's a real time when they loved it every with their flags out when something like that's going on yeah uh back i think to the now all of a sudden we're letting them kind of yeah fight so despite the punch he stays in that's correct which was open-handed at the back end of it because saw the punch being thrown from the opposite side Meantime, the security on the field here, just cleaning up the situation with the encouraging by the fan.

And one security officer who tackled the rocket scientist, the idiot who ran on the field, he's being congratulated by the folks as he comes to the sideline for keeping the peace. So in any case, that's... Okay, so there's a high horse, Tarrico. We did a double rocket scientist. Double rocket scientist. That guy's name is Alex Gonzalez, and he is a repeat offender. A Super Bowl repeat?

Yes. Oh, wow. He did it in, I think, 2024. Is that what you're seeing? Yeah, two years ago. Yeah. He did it in 2024, and he's like a day trader, with a million followers on Instagram,

and he runs 30-day boot camps where he teaches you how to trade. And on the back of then in 24 and last night, he's got his social media handles written on his body. Last time he did it, he said he made a ton of money from it. He documented his, he said it was about 40 grand total in jail and legal fees. What if he calchied it?

Dude. Can't you calcii whether you... There's going to be a streaker in the Super Bowl? We were talking about that last night. I don't know how you would, because like, does that count? If you're the one who is the streaker? No, if you don't take your pants off. Like, if you misunderstand the bet or your buddy or whatever, because I saw, and I don't even know how to follow this story,

maybe we can do it the back half for tomorrow. But the guy who clearly was an insider on the halftime show, he made like $5 million. What halftime show? Last night, there was somebody who was involved in a pre-time show. production or something, because they knew every single yes, no, like, will Cardi B appear? Yes. Will Drake appear? No.

And put together a parlay ticket of length, everything. It was, I don't know, 40 or 50 bets on the slip and they won four million. It's very clear, you know, that this is happening. That one might have been polymarket or something, but we've got it happening with the government now. Like, there's somebody. Betting on Venezuela or something. many things were striking Iran today because they've played some serious bets this morning. And I don't know.

It's a weird, weird world. I felt like we were already in gambling world. And then this year, for whatever reason, I don't know. It's a different level. But shout out to Alex Gonzalez because not only is this the second time he's done it, he's making money. He doesn't care. He just gets sent to jail for a night and then posts through it. like this is what you do if you were

he said that he's made a lot of money and he didn't want to be a guy who is sitting in an old folks home or sitting around when he was old saying I wish I would have done more stuff with my money which I respect yeah why not it's certainly a dream as a kid

I'm not up for getting tackled by seven security guys and probably giving the business but if you are I think you deserve your million followers and to get a boost from today. You want to take a break and then we can talk about maybe the commercials and the halftime show? Sure. All right.

The dums are dums. Well, Jim, we saw Sarah Thomas make the call on that fourth down. History has been made today as she becomes the first female to officiate a Super Bowl. Just an inspiration to everyone, Jim. No question. Tremendous job. Yeah, she's inspiring a lot of young woman up there and that's great to see. Great for everyone.

As a young woman who's somewhere, I got to say I'm feeling very empowered by this. I'm feeling very robustified right now. I feel like I can go out and live my truth. You know. Sarah can finally be a referee. Before this, I thought there's no way that me and women can become a referee.

And right now I'm shooting low. I'm going for like third grade soccer games, $10 a game. But like, it's just really inspiring. Play about her, too. What? What do you mean? Like, she's really inspiring and she's calling the game. Look at her gal.

She's doing wherever else I'm going. It's so cool. It's literally a referee. I genuinely don't care. Literally, it's a referee. Oh my gosh, the first female McDonald's worker. No, I don't care. You're listening to The Dumb Zone.

Check us out on DZTV tonight. And every night at 9 o'clock on Channel 27 in Dallas or the Fox Local app wherever you are. Last night was a big stream night on the YouTube. So I guess that's done until... The draft. Oh, yeah.

Until NFL draft night. I love doing the draft. Hey, you know how you're really bummed? We lost to Marcus Lawrence. Mm-hmm. Just play along. One more quick piece of audio here for you. Dang it.

I don't know. It's my bad. It's my bad. This may be wrong anyway. Guys, DeMarcus Lawrence's wife, Sasha, is... By the way, this is not ear eater. They had two lady reporters. but you didn't really ever see, is her name Kaylee Hardung, Hartung?

Yeah, the one with the big mouth. I guess I didn't know. What, like a Muppet type thing? I just feel like you could fit a basketball in there. Okay, well, right now we're going to fit a report. Guys, DeMarcus Lawrence's wife, Sasha, is here tonight, 37 weeks pregnant with their six child. She also brought her doctor along. Now, DeMarcus and his teammates have had some deep conversations about what he'll do if his wife goes into labor

during this game. His teammate said in the Super Bowl, but he's just choice. She's still here. It's third and five. May he's trying to stop up. He lost to football.

And now the Seahawks, defense just keeps wrecking havoc. But I just could hear Dan saying. You can have another baby. Look, we have five other ones. I've never been in a Super Bowl before. And his teammates telling him the same thing. I just, I thought that was up with them.

Like somewhere, you know, it wasn't that long ago, I would have been on the golf course. Right. Yeah. Something I do like four times a week. Or with my girlfriend. Yeah.

But now I'm in the Super Bowl, so if I can skip this one, babe. That's awesome. I love that. I wanted to promote the fact that we do do these YouTube streams and that when we do a big stream, just like the draft, Quallus Roofing will be with us. Qualis Roofing is always with us, Jake. I kind of feel like Qualis is over us right now. The foundation of our operation, despite the fact that they do roofs, including the dragon den's roof. So, QualusGC.com, they got a drone.

Look at that. They're above us right now looking over the dragon den of inequality, but look at that roof. Dude, I bet you the first... What are your neighbors doing in the driveway? I bet you the shitty roofs on my neighbors up. The first company that saw them using a drone was like, why didn't we think of that? Yeah. And now they've got proprietary thing on that.

They can't do it. Other companies use like hot air balloons. Pigeons that they then try to get the report from them. That's the Qualist drone right there. We'll be at all our big events. It could be at your house too if you just get a free look at your roof. There's money up there. They'll take care of the insurance for you.

You just pay the deductible. If you get a new roof, you get a sit-in. But it all starts with having them come out and do that free inspection. Our boys, me boys. 7500 9-008 or qualus gc.com Any commercials stick out to you? So I like the Duncan. I guess Duncan, it's really odd.

But Duncan Donuts somehow gets a huge budget every year. Got my free coffee this morning. I don't think that we... What did you get that for? Was there like a Super Bowl special? Based on the commercial they had a promo code. Okay. Yeah.

Man, this guy runs the ball. He does. I don't know that we in this part of the country, although you, like, I don't think I understand the market cap or like the cultural penetration of Duncan. It's just never been a part of my life. So. Big in the north, right? It's pretty big in the north. Sure.

They used to have a bunch down here when I was a kid because I remember going to get munchkins and they just disappeared. And then now they're like slowly starting to pop up in these like new little shopping strips and stuff. But it's almost like would they have the commercials if they did. didn't have identifiable Boston celebrities with which to marry the product? Do you know what I mean?

Like, here's Matt Damon, here's Ben Affleck, here's Tom Brady, here's Julian Edelman last year. Wait, did they not do this last year Super Bowl? Yeah, they did.

But I'm just saying that Duncan is a Boston thing. And they've got famous Boston people. Okay, I didn't know that. I thought you meant because New England was in the Super Bowl. No, I just mean Duncan knows. I didn't know Duncan knows. is like associated with Boston. Definitely.

Okay. Oh, yeah. I could be wrong about that, but I've just, I think that is the thing of like, I think they did a Duncan commercial on SNL some years ago, and it was like Casey Affleck, and it was very dark and just, I don't know. I think that's their vibe. I watched the two-minute version on YouTube this morning. They're good.

Yeah. It's funny. They obviously have, like, I mean, it's well-written. It's like a spoof of a. Do you remember last year they got. Kindle Roy in it, and he got covered in, like, goop. Do you remember that? I don't.

And he apparently is real method-act-y and was treating the Duncan commercial like it was the Godfather. That's awesome. I mean, I'll take it. I don't know what the point of spending all that money is, but, like, okay, I guess Blake's going to go get his free coffee, so... That's all I care about. Spend $3 million. Why not? The only other one that really stands out to me as a, well, I would like, I really want Clayton's thoughts on this.

Because I picture Clayton as a guy who probably has a bunker. He's got most of his assets in gold or silver. Guns. And guns. And, yes. You need to bug out. If it all goes down, this guy will be left standing for sure. and the ring doorbell app seems to have caused quite a bit of buzz.

Dude. Nope. The commercial, what's the word no? What does that mean? I'm not putting a camera that has internet access in that the NSA and anybody that has half a brain of how to hack that thing can get access to it. So apparently they have a setting now. They put it under the heading of the law. lost dog epidemic that apparently...

Yeah, that's how they get you. They're airing a spot. It's kind of like the spoof spot of the snuggy. Is it called the snuggy? The blanket with arms in it? You ever see the spot? It's not a spoof. The real spot is like, don't you have trouble with blanket?

And you just can't lay with your blanket and like you can't watch TV because you can't... The classic black and white struggle. Yeah, but what if you had this? And now here you are watching TV. You're tired of losing your dog? Right. Is that this problem that really, like, very rarely, even in this neighborhood, maybe in the 10 years we've lived in this neighborhood, one or two times have seen signs up for a lost dog.

But apparently this is like, you could put on the lost dog, just hit a button. And that way, whoever else hit the button to say, I want to be in the lost dog world. They call it a search party, right? is that what they call it? Yeah. You will now be able to look at everybody's ring doorbell camera in your neighborhood. That's insane. Well, didn't you get a notification yesterday?

Yeah, that's what I was going to say is. It's not just that you can see every... About fireworks? It's not just that you can see everybody else's camera. I don't even know about that part. It's that you're opting into some sort of its AI sharing program where by taking all of the data to the cameras they have, they can create a timeline and basically a narrative and have you look out for like, hey, this could be coming.

And in your case, it showed up last night. That's what that was. Your doorbell telling you like, hey, there may be some ne'er-do-well kids in the neighborhood throwing firecrackers. So because I'm not going to sign up for this, but even though I'm not signing up for it, I do have the ring app. I do if I'm at the Game Day Men's Health Studio downtown. gameday.dumzone.com.

If I'm there and somebody wants to deliver a package here, I can talk to them. Like I can see them. So it is hooked up online. So you're saying some other hacker could already be in there. Well, that's why I draw... Every time I take the boys out for a... Yeah.

They could. People, I mean... And some people put these ring doorbells in their house. That's where I draw the line. Yeah. The indoor camera. That name of cam you have can be hacked. And has been hacked.

I don't know. Come get a look at the show. I don't know. Don't they have access to your TVs? Wasn't that a thing? In the Fort Bragg book, they talk to one guy who's like, they can get your TV easily if they want it. Like now?

Your computer, your TV, anything easily. But I put the little thing sticker on my computer. Full proof. Full proof. I spend a solid, like, hour on the weekends, just throwing off the algorithm on me just because, like, I know I need to get ahead of this. So I'm looking up like, oh, let me look for new cars or stuff like this and like, oh, I want to buy a house here. Ebony.

Let me look at this. I ain't going to throw them off. Mess with the algorithm. No, this is still Clayton. He's still on Ebony. No, I used to think about this when it came to trying to kill your family because you have to start so far ahead of when you intend to do it because of that sort of thing. You know, if you're going to go to the library and use the computer, you need to be. It has to be four years ahead.

And you might need some red herrings like he's just talking about. But no, the discourse online, and I don't think it's a stretch. I mean, even if you don't want to make it about race, which I kind of do just because KJ, our buddy, was very popular on the next door app when he lived in uptown. He would get alerts all the time to, like, suspicious man in hat walking. He's like, it's me. It's me. It's me. It's me. It's me. So I don't know what's that.

is just very big brothery. Like, okay, I want to see what's in front of my house. I don't need to know. I don't need to know. You're not that far away from getting the alert of like, you know, such and such has been spending a lot of time at such and such's house. We noticed. Do you have any comment on that?

Very weird. Given that, this feels very wainsworldly, but given that we do know from the good folks at Game Day men's health that you can get your prostate checked without, getting fingered. I fought hard for it. I went and spoke before a panel of learned doctors and told them that the key to happiness is just getting more guys to understand a finger in there is not the end of the world.

In fact, maybe the start of a new one. But there was a commercial for some sort of prostate cancer screening that you could do with blood now. and the tagline was relax your tight end. Okay. And they got a number of tight ends. So, of course, they had Gronk wearing the Bucks uniform. Now, that might have been because they also had Bruce Ariens narrating. Was it an actual NFL license uniform or just the colors?

It was an NFL license uniform. Was Bruce A. With the Bucs or just the Cardinals? Bucs. Okay. That's what that made sense. but it was like Delaney Walker. Tony Gonzalez was in it.

And the whole point of it was just, you know, you don't have to get, it kept showing like a butt unclinch. And I thought that was good. It is interesting how, didn't we have another, I don't know if it was a billboard or something, but just a, these things that we thought were so risque a while ago, now you're just putting them in national ads, which got me thinking yesterday.

Because we were talking when you were leaving, and I asked you, I think I fired in a couple of Lucy's. And I'm an old, I used to chew tobacco. Still do, but, you know, the Lucy is, I think, a lot better as far as cleaner for me. I still spit. And I asked you, and you said, you swallow. And is this going to be in a mainstream ad someday? Do you spit or swallow? for all of us that...

Yeah, I mean, you'll see that in like European ads. Right? There's a lot more sex. And then it'll be like a hot chick, I swallow. Yeah. And then she pops in a Lucy. Yeah, and I feel like we have been getting a little more down that line in America

over the last couple years. Write that down. That's a prediction of mine. So Jake said horse racing in 20 years. I'm saying within 10 years... Innuendo. Yes, there will be an innuendo type ad with spitting and swallow.

With spit or swallow. which will be a mainstream. That's a good call. Your kid might see it on TV. Of course, your kid at that time will be a little older, but you know what I'm saying. I don't know what Wicked is, but I know that it's why Donald Trump

won Fulton County, Pennsylvania by 37 points in 2016. All right. Yeah, I guess. Was it called? Wicked. Well, there's two movies out now, but it was originally a musical. Okay.

You're not familiar with Wicked? I know it's like a movie. But then it was a movie. movie and there was like a never-ending press tour. Is it like a... Now there's another movie in the never-ending press tour. Is it Glenn Close? Is she in Wicked?

No, it's Ariana Grande and another actress, Black Lady, that I don't know how to say your name, but they are together all the time. It's, oh, it's, it's bad. All right. Why are you saying this is a Trump thing? No, I think it's a why Hillary lost. I just, it's, I think people who are stoked on another Wicked. or why she lost.

And they ran another commercial last night. It seems like the other one just came out. It did. And then finally we have a new Tracy Morgan show, which I know Dan is very fired up about. I didn't see that. If we were doing Dumbzone birthdays and we got to surprise they're still alive,

Tracy Morgan's career would have been pretty high on my guest list, and now he's got a new show debuting on primetime. Good for him. Unlike regular TV. It's on NBC. It's the networks. Okay. Yeah, I guess if NBC is involved, that makes sense.

That's where he's done. Homeart money run out. Oh, yeah, if I'm getting hit by a truck. Half-time show? Do you want to rip? No. It's kind of funny seeing some of the turning point, halftime show clips.

I liked our boy Sportsboy Tony's tweet. Who asked early in the game, does Turning Point also have another game I can switch to? Nice. That is good. I thought that was strong. The Bad Bunny halftime show, though, a lot of production, a lot went into it. A lot of story. Very deep.

I might need to watch a video explaining the whole halftime show to me. Like, I would like to do that. They've done those before. Like, Dysect has done that before. Yeah. Because it's clearly got lots and lots of layers that, you know, what I took out of it was fun colors and sounded cool. Sounded like a party. But I think there's a lot of deep meaning in what was going down.

Well, that kid who they were trying to deport got his Grammy, right? I don't know what that means. There's like a scene at the end of the deal where he's handing. Oh, okay, that was fake. Looks like it was fake. I got ball sacked What do you mean? Well, there's a moment where the family is like watching TV

in that little fake living room and there's a little boy and Bad Bunny hands him a Grammy, like a little kid. Like it's little him or something. People thought it was the five-year-old. You know the five-year-old that had the little hat on that became like a national... The Minnesota kid?

Yeah. Okay. So they were alleging that that was him giving the deporting, But now you're saying it was him giving little him a Grammy? Yeah. Okay. Like a dream big type thing.

Because that kid is gone? It's funny. I don't know. It's sad. I don't know. Just some of the silly outrage. I can't tell if it's online. I mean, if your president is saying it's odd to just say this is just a silly online thing.

But it does still seem like a silly online thing. that nobody really, really cares about? I don't, yeah, that's a good, that's a good question. I have trouble marrying those two ideas to myself. Because I don't know, look, I don't know much about Bad Bunny. The Super Bowl halftime shows, they took a, they diverted at one point. I don't know when it was, but you remember a few years ago, not that long ago, it was very aged Rolling Stones or a very aged Paul McCartney.

These people were doing the halftime show. And then it kind of slipped into, like they decided, look, we don't want just our whole fan base. Like our 60-year-old fan base is strong. They're not going anywhere, and we got to get some of the other, you know, I think they got to do these halftime shows to get some people just watching it for that. Yeah.

And you have to know this about the NFL. Do they want racism to end? Maybe. Like, is that why they paint those slogans on the field? Maybe they want racism to end. But if they thought it was way more financially a sound move for them now and into the future to write, keep racism alive, that would be on the sideline. feed bigotry. Their whole thing is making money.

And they're not only talking about making money today, but they are thinking deep into the future. And so, yes, that's why we get halftime shows for some of us that are older of people that we don't know really much about their catalog. And that's the only reason. That's kind of the only reason anything happens if you want to not be an idiot about it. Right? All these brands that we're saying.

Celebrating Black History Month. Well, they're doing that because they think that that is going to be best for them in the long run. They don't really care about celebrating Black History Month. Take a look at, like, whatever, 20 years ago, when no one else was really doing it, they weren't, they were only doing it because their competitor did it, and then they thought, I got to do it too, and all that kind of stuff. No, I guess at the end, I just wonder, why do they even have, I mean, I guess because everybody's going to be watching. but in your scenario, are there young people who are, like, more likely to be NFL fans 10 years for now because of bad bunny? Maybe, but I don't even know that it needs to exist at all. Well, it's going to definitely have them watching the game, or at least the halftime.

Yeah, that's true. If that's what you're after. And, yeah, you're just after eyeball. You want the Super Bowl to be the highest rated thing ever. It always is. And you're just looking ahead and being smart to say, I wanted to keep being the highest rated thing ever. Because who, again, well, now let's go to Turning Point USA or whatever that is.

This Kid Rock thing apparently was pre-recorded, and they're even showing some of the sync, like they hired actors to do the cello and the violin or whatever, and they're not really in tune with or in sync with when the music is playing. I don't know. It all looked kind of funny. But I think it was like recorded a few days. go or something all i know is this it resulted in the ride to daycare this morning being tracked by ba with the ba because the kid likes metal a lot and i'm like dude i got some

shit you need to hear not the kid rock is metal but ball with the bar rips that entire album's incredible it was a big topic last night with detroit's own john machota here were you a big Kid Rock guy? Dude. Big, big, big. Big, big. Like John was saying last night, when the Pistons were like in the finals,

Kid Rock was right there with him 20 plus years ago. I mean, he was not affiliated with any sort of conservative politics at all, other than he was just cosplaying Southern. And we thought that was cool. Yeah. But it was the furthest thing from anybody's mind. He is. He is.

But he's white. trash, you know, so he just has like a Leonard Skinnered. I loved Kid Rock, man. And he was funny back in the day. He had a midget as his hype man. He had a lady, a big black lady as his drummer. Their live shows were incredible. It was just fun music. Fun dirty music. I think what ruined him is not anything related to politics. I think it's when he did a song with Cheryl Crow. Why? Because that's just gay or what? Yeah. I don't know where I, I, I, Well, again, he did it because he thought that would be good to open up another market for him or whatever. Probably just like shooting Bud Light.

Yeah. Oh. But I know they had like 6.5 million viewers. I don't know if that's more than we had. That is more than we had. But not as much as like the Australian family who's opening a present. Touche. Our own halftime show was amazing.

Oh, yeah. We had half-blaked. We did. Are we still, is puppy bowl still a thing? Like our other networks actually programming? Okay. I saw a tweet about the puppy bowl. Yeah, did you see the MVP news?

Of the puppy bowl? Yeah. Go on. The MVP of the puppy bowl because they film it in advance is dead. Oh, no. Left it all on the field. Man. What'd that to shoot him up to get him through the game?

A puppy is dead? It had special needs. Okay, we're already making puppies do this. We have to get special needs ones. That seems... Those purebred puppies do die a lot more than Muts do. What if they made it so the worst player in the game, they would kill? Would you tune in?

I think you know that. Would Pita be into it? Oh, my God. Was this dog playing in this contraption when he played in the game? What do you got? Dude, the dog is in like a seven-wheel, like. I just kill. I'm sorry.

I don't know how to tell you, but you're just going to have to look up puppy bold death on your own, all of you. They have her like in a Stephen Hawking like a trash. Okay. What is this? It looks like an Air Force drone or something. It's very high tech and. I mean, like it showed up and they gave it the MVP. Like it didn't even have like a breakaway run or.

Okay, so. There's some hard hits in the puppy board. So it is a barely alive dog anyway. Apparently in the puppy bowl. This dog was not going to survive no matter what. In the puppy bowl, we also do the make-a-wish touchdown where all the other puppies have to act like this one's normal. Yeah, imagine putting a barely alive. Why would you include that element of football in this?

That's so far down the list of it. C-T-E. S-T-E-S-P-N. Oh, my God. It appears that the Blue Team's dog is eating his female dog friend after the game. Why would it? She died before the Lombarky Trophy Showdown here on Sunday. All right, before we do the news. I got a little injury here, Dan, but I know that I can get through this, recover strongly,

have the energy to do all the rehabilitation. Because of my friends at Game Day, Men's Health, great mind location is where I go, but there are 12. Our buddy Mike Marshall just went into the East Dallas location. I think I got hooked up by Sam. It is now a – so if you see a machine, you see a bulge in his pants or a bulge in his biceps, because he's a game day bro now. What happens when you get around that 40-year-old age, you know? Maybe even mid-30s.

Brain fog, just generally kind of being in a bad mood. I think of it as steroids for life. I'm way more apt to want to get up and run around with the kids, clean the house, do whatever we got to do. Be a weekend warrior. Be a weekend warrior. Break your wrist. Because of TRT at Game Day Men's Health. But it's not just TRT.

They can help you lose weight, sexual performance. If you're losing your hair, peptides, all sorts of things. Men's Wellness. Be the best you with Game Day Mint Health. It is gameday. Dumbzone. dot com. Nice.

Here's Jay with the dumb zone news. News, news, news, news, news, news, news, news, news, news, news, news, news, news. Yeah, I did have the note on TPUSA that they had a sick, I don't know if you care, six and a half million dollars, or excuse me, six and a half million viewers for their stream. They had a licensing issue. It's pretty strong, though.

It seems huge. Yeah. And we're not able to do it on. Twitter. That had to beat, like, other TV shows that were on against the Super Bowl. Almost, yeah. And to get you to all go to YouTube, that's a pretty, that's a big number. It is a big number.

Now, the funny thing was is that the shots from Mar-a-Lago, or the president was, they just had the normal pagan bad buddy half-time show up. Oh, why? Because he was ripping it? Well, no. I mean, he just doesn't actually want to watch it. Nobody at the party does. So he's...

Trump's going to say, you know, Bad Bunny, this guy doesn't he ate to America. I support that he's not actually going to watch it. He's watching the... The Ape Channel or whatever. Corrilla Channel. That's right.

Do you guys know... I don't exactly know how this works from a compliance standpoint, but we have, like, Influencer teachers now. Explain. We should have seen this coming because the first person that I ever saw doing like really boring videos on Instagram was a buddy of mine's wife who was a housewife. And she would just, hey, here's how, here's a trick or a tip on how to get shower grout out.

And she would just post the most boring shit to Instagram. And it actually started to do pretty well. and she was also a teacher. Teachers are big fans of telling you how hard and how interesting their scene is. Now they have a phone, and now they can just tell you all the wacky little stories from within their classroom. And I guess that's okay if they don't use names or show images of the children. But there's a dude named Christian Scheerhod. He goes by Mr. Shearhod on Instagram.

Instagram where he has more than a million followers and TikTok where he's got almost two million followers. And he's just an elementary school teacher. He's in the news because the TEA, the Texas Education Association, uh, agency, excuse me, is, uh, is coming after him. They're investigating him. He was in Garland. Hmm.

Four? basically that he is violating their social media policy, except he hasn't taught there in four years. So they're going back to when he taught here in 2022 and saying, there's some stuff on your social media account when you were teaching grade 4 through 8 math from 2022 that we'd like to look into. Now you may suspect that much, well, I'll say you should suspect because I've seen the guy. He looks like machine gun Kelly kind of.

He has like a bleached blonde mop earrings He's a very genzy looking teacher And most of his content focuses on LGBT Issues Gender non-conforming topics So that's what the

Male femininity Yes, except he hasn't taught there in four years So this guy got to do now He's a teacher Oh okay But they, I guess, he got famous and they're like, wait a minute, he was teaching here when he was doing that. We should go look at his account. And, yeah, he had been posted a bunch of anti-ice stuff recently, so he pissed people off.

But I'm generally pretty creeped out by the idea of my kids' teachers being social media forward at all. Let's hear what this guy sounds like. Yeah, it just is what it is, though, right? you're at this point in time everybody wants to be an influencer I was surprised you said it was a dude because you see the influence or at least the ladies

that claim to be school teachers on Twitter popping around like hoeing I don't know if they're hoeing I find ironic considering more than half of GISD is Hispanic don't you care about those students documented undocumented they are still students

and should most definitely know they're right I don't know if it's important to you, though, considering you are still under a desegregation order and spend most of your money on your predominantly white schools. Hmm. All right. Yeah, I don't know. News cadence. It's on one hand, you want to get a teacher who's got some life to him and can get the kid fired up about just like being curious and just let's just be happy to be alive.

And I think you're probably more likely to get that if you get the guy who is a ski instructor who, paints his fingernails and wears like a bunch of necklaces than you are some old frumpy lady. But I don't have to worry about the old frumpy lady really doing anything. Period. Yeah. It's tricky. I mean, you just don't want anybody that you consider to be... About them. Kind of your employee or under your whatever to be worried about social media at all.

Like your doctor, you don't want a doctor that's like that. that. You don't want your your roofer, right? You just want them focused on their thing. And that's why you can see when coaches are like, I just wish my they don't want any players doing it too.

I just want the illusion at least that they're back in their dorm room and they're looking at the book, the playbook or they're looking at some film. Like we just don't want that illusion. And when you show yourself on social media, then you're making it very clear that all your hours are not spent towards.

Yeah, and that sucks because it's like it's just a facade for you. Well, for the world, yeah, for whoever you're dealing with. Interesting play from, and nothing will come of that. It's just they want to cause problems for him. And they're actually, much like we talked about last night, doing him a favor. Yeah. He's in the content game. Followers are going to, yeah.

So if anybody wants to sue us. But it seems like to get on one side of that and just making all your life about that is the way to... It seems miserable to me, though. At least cause engagement. Yeah. It seems miserable to me, though. Yeah. But if your game is social media, you want engagement.

You just want that no matter what. And you probably don't take any of it seriously. A man in Austin had an interesting play for trying to get. get his drink on at an H.E.B. H.E.B. had a regional commercial last night. They're blowing up. Good for them. A pro-H-E-B. We're about to get one. Are we going to learn something that? No, dude, in fact. About them? We shouldn't be proud of. I'm sure there are things, but like,

I was talking to a listener of ours. Epstein loved H-EB. So I did, like, I did that, uh, that little interview with some people in Great Fond Colleyville about their school closing. And the result of that is a bunch of people in schools have reached out to me. One of them is a listener who works with a group called Raise Your Hand, Texas. It's your garden variety, not an insult, but, you know, it's an advocacy group. And I was asking the guy, like, how it works. And he's like, well, we're very fortunate because is his name Howard Butts, Betts?

The H.E.B guy, that's, like, a big part of what he does with his money. He does what? Funds advocacy for Howard, Edward, Edward Butt. Uh, like he gives money to nonprofits that are working on issues like Texas education issues. Now, maybe that's covering up, uh, basement full of bodies. But in any case, at this H.E.B. and Austin, they have this on camera. 26 year old dude is, uh, walking down the aisle where, like, the toilet paper is, and I guess all the paper products. And he's kind of, like, fidgeting back there in the shelving.

And then he walks off. And when he walks off within a couple seconds, there's like a lot of smoke. And it becomes clear that the toilet paper is on fire. And he has lit several packages of toilet paper on fire so that he could go over to the booze area while the employees were distracted, like a flashbang and steal a couple cases. He got out. I mean, he got to his car. All right. Well, congrats.

But it worked. Yeah. But then they caught. them. Yes. Okay. So it kind of worked. I think if you get out of the store, then...

Good for you. You should be able to keep half of it? I wouldn't hate that. Interesting play there. You guys ever used to do beer runs? I never stole beer. I was so afraid of that, like, the guys who had the balls to do that. Like steal from a store?

Yeah. They would just go into... a gas station or a, and it was a, nobody was lighting anything on fire, but it was a similar, you know, distraction, diversion, slide of hand type play. Somebody just picks up a 30 rack off the back

and carries it out. This was a common thing. I definitely didn't have the balls for that. No, we once, I think, went in, we propped a bar, a back door of a bar open, and then showed up at like three in the morning, went and grabbed a couple bottles.

Okay. That's pretty good. But, yeah. So I can't say we've never stolen anything. 2,000 miles. That is the distance covered by a group of Fort Worth monks. There are Fort Worth monks? There are.

Okay. Irving monks. There's definitely Irving monks. Fort Worth, I know about. about the monasteries because we used to go mess with them. High school, you? Yes, high school me. So these monks for Fort Worth, they watch 2,000 miles to Washington, D.C.

Tell me they're wearing Apple watches. That's a great question. We can track those steps. And it's one of those things where you want to say, well, good for them, but why? Are they heroes like Alex Honnold? They said they walked for peace And that many people would approach them and ask, Why are you walking?

They would say for peace. Wait, they did it now? Yeah. Well, they're idiots. Yeah. Why would you do it in the winter? Don't you want warm peace? Like, it's been very cold.

There's been a... You know how I know this? I was talking to my mom this weekend. She was very concerned about the... You know, my daughter driving in Tennessee or whatever. She's like, oh, yeah. There's been ice in Tennessee. Really?

Okay. Yeah, I don't really know. Maybe they don't know how they don't have the weather app. What do you think their budget is then on do they stay at nice hotels? Are they stay in seven to a room? There's no way. In a motel six? Oh, they're probably going like monastery to monastery.

Communes, right? Yeah. Is there always one within one day's walking distance? Yeah, I bet so. Yeah, and then one complained because they walked past one and they're like, we could have just stopped here. Why are we going to this 5A monastery? No, again, they're monks.

I don't think they walk around bitching like we do. And do they walk together? Are they wearing like the big robes? They don't, it is very funny for you guys to project on like that it's just like they're bitching about, we already stopped for you twice, dude. Right. I told you to pass that buck. I told you to pee at the last place.

Not stopping now. Are they wearing AirPods? Are they listening to us? Chanting. Are they so happy that. I'm glad the episode's longer. I got a long walk. Yeah, 2,000 miles for peace.

How's that working out for you? Well, the polymarket says we should be in being Iran by this week. And then are they? They pray. They fly back for? That's a good question. For at least just trying? We have a serial indecent exposureer on the campus of the University of

of North Texas, a 27-year-old man, Jeremiah Devereaux. Boy, you name your kid, Jeremiah. You're asking for it? Yeah, you're looking for him to be some kind of... You know, I've never heard that, but now that you say it, it feels a little deviant. He's got a series of incidents where he was in women's restrooms and the locker rooms at a local gym and on campus. He was arrested last week at a local gym.

He was just in the women's locker room and in the women's sauna. When the officers responded to the call, he took off, but they did arrest him shortly thereafter. That led to an investigation. Then they linked him to four or five other cases where he was just going around and exposing himself. TWU is up there as well, Texas Women's University. He must have a big wiener. I don't think so. Well, really?

It's cold out. I was just thinking, though, if you're... All I know is that his name... If your thing is, I want to expose myself, it doesn't seem like you would gravitate to that if you had a little tiny, you know, wadded up piece of gum down there. Jeremiah Devereaux. I'll save you the time.

He's a pretty ripped-looking black guy. And I made my call without knowing anything about... I know. That. I know. Now, that, I feel like, emboldens me. Now, to double down. To follow the Dan logic and math, does this mean, because we know five, six, seven times where he got in trouble, do we know are there 90, 96, 97 other times where somebody just said, that's a fantastic hog?

I don't know about that. That's a difficult one. Thank you. Good day. If there's five, six getting in trouble, it's the point of if it's just once he got in trouble, I think he's done this. couple other times. Yeah, yeah. I know what you mean. It's just funny to imagine that, hey, usually they just compliment me. What are you freaking out for? Why are you being all weird? But yeah, it's like the Charles Haley theory. You know, Charles Haley was dropping his shirt. Shirts and skins.

On people's shoulders or whatever in the locker room just to make them freak out. You don't do that if your wiener's little, because then the guy I'll just turn and go, look at that little wiener sitting on my shoulder. Like, what are you doing? This is not a big thing, dude. You have to kind of be scared of it. Like, you're not, I'm not going to scare you with a tiny little garden snake, right? No, you may emboldened me. I get to get a python. What are you laughing at? Whoa. Just, I don't know, with how much bad is in this world. It's still just kind of funny. This guy just wants to show his wiener to women. Dude, this is my point. This is my point yesterday about this will seem quaint. About Jerry Jones, about whatever. There's going to be a reorganization of moral

judgment, especially for dudes and sex. And if you're like Jerry, you just fool around your wife sometimes, you're like this guy, you're like, you want to see it? Like, he didn't touch anybody. Like, at this point, if you're Louis C.K., and that's what you did, but we know that Chris Tucker was, you know.

What did Chris Tucker do? Oh, buddy. Don't do Chris Tucker to us. Rush hour Chris Tucker has been in this mix since day one. He was one of the first ones where it was like, Okay, so it's not just like Muhammad bin Sulla, something. You know, it wasn't all just like these foreign dignitaries and politicians.

It's Chris Tucker. Doing what? Epstein stuff? Yeah. Oh, not Chris Tucker. I know. Yeah. Friday?

Friday? Rush hour, one, two, three. Do you hear the words coming out of my mouth? That? Yeah. Yeah. He did that bit with a young lady. I don't know that, but yeah, he's in, man.

No one is safe. Other than this guy, Jeremiah Devereaux. Because I'm thinking... If you show up in your overcoat and you open it up... Do you think you make a noise? That's what I'm saying is, like, I don't think you just let it out and you just watch... I think you helicopter, you... Kind of spin into it.

...spin it around. Like, you got to... You got your money's worth. A little top hat. All right. There you do. There you do. All right.

Great dude. Hello, Senor Dan. Jesse with Elite Rides, DFW here. have a birthday wish on behalf of a friend I hope you can add this for your Friday show I want to wish Ernest Rangel aka Ernie a happy 43rd birthday from your cousin Chano

some cool names Bigern Bigern Greetings Dumb Zone Sunday is the birthday of Good D.F. Ryan McIntosh Leaders are Soroy's mom trying to determine the veracity of cakes, smoking a cigarette with Jake at ye old bull and bush. Oh, my.

And Dan being against a schedule for human beings while making a damn joke about everything. RIP Dutch and bring back the quick kick from D.F. Duardo. God, dude. There's no play in football I hate more. Did we miss our opportunity for Nora and Vida? I put in the work. It's probably not going to happen. Okay.

We tried. It's not easy to mobilize a 7-year-old and an 87-year-old to the same place. Yeah, where would they just naturally find themselves in the same location? Well, no, but we've been trying to match up schedules. But the quick kick, dude, you know, it probably all makes sense where, how I ended up, never punt guy, because, as I've told you guys during game, streams. My high school team coming off of very strong summer seven on seven performances ran the midline veer. And so we had a quarterback who couldn't run. Very important in that offense.

But he could punt. So it's like, well, it's third and 12. I don't see us picking this up. Why don't we just have him flip the field for us? I'm like, oh, punt on third down, even better. Good bit. Then they're not back there to return it. It's great. It's awesome. And we've got a couple more. Howdy to the Vicar of the Volva and his Vajcara's.

Vicar? I've never known how to say that. You see it in like Bible stuff. It was in an episode of Friends. Was it? I think that's where I learned it too, Blake. I'd like seeing Aniston and Matt LeBlanc together on screen again. The Vicar won't be home for hours.

It was awesome. Was it Duncan your favorite too because of that? No, it was my favorite because they gave me a free coffee this morning. They hit me with Jurassic Park. Like, when does it run out? It doesn't seem like we're creating new stuff that my kids 30 years from now. I was a little kid, and that's not running out. No doubt.

Dan would have been all in if, like, a life goes on. Hey, it's corky. For Kleenex. What if I got hired as the marketing director for a major company? I got an idea. You sure wasn't that popular. Vicker of the Vol. My name is Mike.

I request my own Monday birthday shout out because my bitch, G.F. won't do it after she got pissed when I made fun of her Akitar fairy porn books. Way to go, Jake. Don't make fun. Just clean up. Put on a set of wings and get to Bonin. Also would love Jake's take on this, but the Venn diagram of Akita. guitar fan girls and

K-pop fan girls has to be pretty close to a circle. I don't know a ton about the K-pop world. I like the music. I don't know what type of women. It is my I am a man plus group economics birthday

today. I'm 46. I don't know why I'm doing this. My leaders are ESports Blake, Jake's celebration of Joy's 93rd birthday by asking her for Epstein takes, and the trail

of hungry, mewing kittens chasing after Sarah Hepelah. She just walks to do an auto zone. There's five or six little... That's why we do it, folks. Not now. I've had that visual.

Like, that's the best. Mildly annoyed by them. Okay, it's time. Sure. That's from Mike. Grady mail. And dear Duncan Dan, it's my buddy Tyler Fleet's 37th birthday. One year ago today, Tyler Fleet.

One year ago today, you read his high school football highlights for him on the air. It inflated his already massive ego so much that he worked harder at his job and was recently promoted to head football coach at a high school here in Tyler, Texas. Nice. Tell him happy birthday and congratulations. His leader is, his leader is International Blake, and mine is now Puerto Rican women, as I'm typing this during the halftime show.

From Tyler Howell. I think we do quite well in the high school football coaching ranks. I talked to a guy last week who was, he's like, oh, yeah, just became a head coach at a school. I'm like, I guess that's just guys my age now, Our head coaches. It's weird. And officials. And officials.

We did know that. We're kind of a buy-the-book operation. Fairlease.org presents on this day in history. Fairlease.org indeed does present, you know what I'm saying? They present you with great leasing options. I can tell you that. They're affiliated with the Credit Union of Texas. That means there's no bank.

They are the bank. I am the bank. That was interesting to, learn that. Just how big of a deal, why they can get a lot of savings that way. A lot of savings. They can be way more flexible. So a bank might turn you down, but they'd be like, no, no, we're good with this.

Yeah, they're sensible. They're not bound by Wall Street. They're kind of like the dumb zone of car leasing. They'll make it work for you. So check them out at fair lease.org. Click request a quote and then select the dumb zone. They'll find your car. If you want a car, they'll find it.

They'll bring it to you. Challenge them. Let's see here. All right. So on this day, today is Monday, February 9th. On this day in 1960, Adolf Kors Company, Chairman Adolf Kors III at the age of 44 was shot to death in suburban Denver during a botched kidnapping attempt. The man who killed him was Joseph Corbett Jr. he served 19 years in prison.

And I told you there's like a, there's a whole different podcast within me, I think, of kind of a just today in history and then you go off on a thread for 15 minutes on one thing. And this would be that thing if we were to do a real long segment here. Just because this guy was kind of like a Mensa-level genius that killed Adolf course. actually was convicted of another murder earlier in his life,

escaped from prison in California, and then ended up doing, like, I need, I actually did, I looked something up. There's like an hour-long YouTube documentary on him. So I'm going to possibly get into that. But, yeah, then he was convicted of murdering cores, sentenced to life imprisonment, but got out after 19.

years, parole. Wow. And lived until, what was it, the 90s? Oh, 2009 he lived until. Do you think he would pop open a nice banquet, Yellowbelly, Coors original every now and then, just the... The original Coors, Adolf Coors, One, who founded the brewery, committed suicide

by jumping out of a 29-story building. That'll do it. That's better than 15 feet. If you want to really make sure. Yeah. I think I always can, well, that's not. I think that'd be a good way to, it'd be an exciting way to commit suicide.

You know? You're just in your car and you turn on the thing and you're sitting in your garage. Now you're kind of like, it might be less pain, you know, no pain, but you kind of like probably sitting there crying and stuff, right? Because you're thinking about what. I don't know, because I think the thing is,

is when you start to go, I think you get the euphoria. You might like to chase one more high of, like the acceptance. You know, that's what they say. People when they're dying, they feel like a level of acceptance. That you're, it's peace now. And I think if you could get that, I don't know that you're going to get that while you're doing a six flags ride. You know.

But you won't have the law because you're not, you know you're going to die. So you're like, you just kind of lean into it. You're like, ah. Now you're like Superman. I'm just going to. That would be sick. A full, no care fall. Now, what?

What if, though, you start getting into a roll and now you're just too dizzy and you don't even have your wits about you and then you die? It's like, ah, that ruined. That wasn't the beautiful, majestic float to earth and then splat that I thought it would be. Also, like, I'm led to believe anybody who jumps out of a building falls through the roof of a car. So, like, if that somehow breaks your fall, now you're just a vegetable. The alarm goes on. Yeah. Why?

On this day in 1964, the Beatles made their first live American television appearance. It was on the Ed Sullivan Show, 73.7 million viewers. For some reason, I just remembered a different prop that I heard about. Is this a weird place to put it? No. Did you hear about the prop of total yards for both teams versus ice arrests? Yeah, I saw something about that. But again, I don't know how you...

The total yards went under. Or wait. I don't know how you quantify. I don't know how you prove the arrests, right? Like, it's not like Toreko's like, man, now it looks like they've got Hidalgo in custody. That'll be 43 on the day. There's a thing up on the... And on this day, in 1989, Clayton, in sworn testimony before the New Jersey Senate,

WWF officials, including Vince McMahon, admitted. That the matches were purely entertainment with predetermined winners and no one is actually hurt. No way. Actually hurt is falsity, though. Yeah, that's insane. Who get hurt a lot. Yeah. So today is February 9th, this day in Dumb Zone history.

A lot of Super Bowl stuff on this day. In 2022, we had on Ed McCaffrey, which I think was Jake's dream. That was really cool. He told us how he broke his leg on September 10th. and was witnessing 9-11 on morphine. He said that was fun. Yeah. That was a big deal for me getting to talk to him.

He's a very intense guy. Do you want to play this? Let's see. This was also the year of the TMZ tour. It was great. Can't win them all for. It's a generic goodbye song. It's a generic goodbye song.

We hope you don't think that this tour was too long. Goodbye from T.M.D. It really sucks to have to say farewell. And yet we got to win me is when we get this is a generic. Okay. God. That is not a loss at all. It was a huge, huge win.

A lot of controversy. Just can you imagine if that had been just good? You know, it would. You wouldn't be talking about it now. It was awesome. We got great audience. out of it. Met some characters.

Really got the LA experience. Jake was distraught the rest of the week. It all worked out for everyone. The next year we had Brian Robinson on. Good friend. Good friend. Do you remember what he said when he called the security detail? I got hit.

I'm hit. It's the coolest thing I think I've heard anyone say. So I call a security man. I said, I'm hit. I'm like, I, that's it? because I had a minor bone break yesterday and was like you got shot the guy's still trying to shoot you

and then in 2021 this was the day Morgan Wallin was canceled for SNL because of his racial slurs Elvis was traded to the A's for Chris Davis just wait till that back gets in the lineup Ranger Killer no more and then it was probably The first time I felt really exposed on the show

because I tried to make a Pokemon joke that didn't really land with you two. There was a Pokemon commercial last night. Don't remember it. Is that what Gigli Puff is? Yeah. Yeah, it was like Lady Gaga and Trevor Noah. I don't really know what they were advertising

beyond that Pokemon exists. I think we had somebody calling you out as a Pokemon poser too. Yeah. Yeah. Why don't we just keep that to ourselves for now? What did I say about Pokemon? Don't worry about it.

Our resident, that guy's a poser. You're the poser on everything, Blake. What was the other thing some guy was yelling at him about? Why don't you send me that email, pussy? Don't just send it to Dan about me being a poser. Send it to me. Yeah, it's, uh, it, somebody hit me up and was like, and I knew this, but it's like, what are you going to do?

You're going to yell at your guest? Uh, but John was like, I don't really think you didn't have much of a like underground career or whatever. You know, he just kind of popped on the scene with Dr. That's obviously not true, but John's not like a big music guy. So people hit me. John Machota doesn't know shit about him and him.

Anybody knows anything about him would have known, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, yeah. Look, we're not the smart zone. Else rare, we have birthdays, other birthdays today. Pete O'Brien, 68. A trailblazer. He was always a bit funny for all. a ball player.

Pito, Brian. You know Brian down the street? Which one? The one that coaches the kids' teams, but he doesn't have any kids. Oh, yeah, Pete O'Brien? Yeah. Just don't go over there. I'd prefer you not to hang out at his house or anything.

Not all bad. No, he is funny. He's a little funny. Did you see his Christmas decorations? But you want to... I know Mrs. Johnson's car is kind of full, but I'd rather you just stuff in there than you let Coach Brian drive you. Danny White is 74.

Musers. Maris Leofau is 25. Can't remember plays, obviously. He might be participating in the bracket of Clayton's new favorite sport as soon as next season. Vlad Guerrero is 50. Vladie Daddy. Sequin Barclay is 29. Washed.

I would have thought older. I guess that's what you do with running backs, right? Dude, the one thing we didn't really say about the game, though, because it doesn't really happen anymore, when you see a true, complete back, and they're just going to give him the ball 30 times. Kenneth Walker? It's awesome.

Yeah? That doesn't really happen anymore. Wouldn't you love to have a guy like that? Yeah, you can't. You can't do that every game. Right. For obvious reasons. but when a dude is just in his bag and just kind of reading every,

that's like the coolest football thing there is. Like that's when you wish you could be him. That's cool. He's got that powerful, stout little body to the... He's perfect. More like Sequin. Perfect running back body. Cooper DeGine is 23.

Looks like a TikTok star. Vince Papali is 80. Eagles. In our... They're still alive. Would we throw... Would you throw Joe Pesci on there, 83? Or would you throw Mia Farrow at 81?

I don't know who that is, really. Is that Ronan Farrow's mom? Yeah. She was also married to Woody Allen at one point, and then Woody then married their stepdaughter? I saw a very funny Epstein tweet that was like, because there's a bunch of Woody Allen stuff in there, obviously. I was like, I personally refused to believe that Woody Allen would cheat on his daughter.

like this is a man of integrity. Me of Farrow, I would have said then I would have taken into the dead, because Pesci, I would remember. Yeah. That's going to be a big deal. Yeah. Michael B. Jordan is 39. Seems awesome.

See in the wire? Yeah. Yeah, man. As was. Who else do I got from the wire? I thought I had a wire. Why have David Simon is 66. Close enough.

There's still still. stuff of his I'd like to go check out. But it's almost like if you've seen the wire, it's the best version of it. Yeah, like the older stuff. A homicide, basically. Yeah, I tried. And then, you know, one that really I should have done because I read, I read the long article the book was based on, but he did another Baltimore thing called We Own This City on HBO. And it had some of the same people.

Oh, really? Yeah. Is he the corner? Yeah. The corner's very, very good. I think that holds up. Where was I? I'm on Michael B. Jordan.

I'm on David Simon. Rose Leslie is 39. She was in Game of Thrones and Downton Abbey. They're all there. Oh, yeah. She's fantastic. Ian Eagle is 57.

Ian Eagle. And Travis Trid is 63 and Dump's own birthday of the day. That's great. Day. to be alive. The sun still shining when I close my eyes and some hard times in the neighborhood. But why can every day be just this girl? I know that one, Dan.

Who bust out in song on you? Dumb's own birthday of the day, Charlie Day, is 50. Good for him. From always sunny. You met his wife once. Indeed, the waitress. Yeah. Born on the Stay Now Dead, Bill Vick.

I met one of his relatives as well. Revolutionary. Combating racism by moving the White Sox training facility out of Arizona to Florida or the other way around. But also had an ashtray installed in his peg leg. Got to love it. That's just a man who is thinking right there. Like, how can I make this into lemonade? Always.

You know? Whatever it is. Let's make it work. Dead on the stay still dead. Bud Wilkinson. And... Is that Oklahoma? Yeah.

Right? Yeah, if it is, then I've been... Old-timey? I was in his suite before. It was the same day they told me I crashed through Switzerland's trophy case. I believe I also whipped the ass of a 1990-something British Open winner Tom Hamilton for about two hours. That was a very embarrassing day. And Bud Wilkinson's sweet.

And also dead on this day, still dead. From the Wire, if you looked at him, you would know. Reginald Kathy, C-A-T-H-E-Y. He was definitely in the Wire. He's been in a bunch of stuff. I think he was in Oz. He's Lester? No, not Lester.

What is he? Lester Freeman was the detective, this guy. I know, yeah. You know him, you see him, and you're like, I know he's in the wire. Right. But, um. I've already been racist. If you're racist, let's not just, um, Omar.

I think I was it Wallace? And that's what happened on this day in history. Well, got anything else, Blake? D'O? Adios. Oh! Thank you for watching my video. Subscribe and type for my name if you want to watch more of my video.
