That's where you can go to get in touch with our people over at Fairlease, Connor or Nick 972705 pizza. That's not what it spells.
Starting point is 00:00:56 It is. 705 pizza. P-I-Z-A? Live here from Zoli's here. We went out to Fair Lease together, met our guys out there. It's a nice situation. I'm just going to call it the dumb zone of the car leasing situation. They're going to get it done.
Starting point is 00:01:11 It might not be the biggest operation in the world, but they'll work with you. They'll get creative on your lease. You've got a truck you're looking to get. Travis just added two. Travis from communities here, they're up to eight vehicles. They lease eight vehicles from Fairleasing. That's right.
Starting point is 00:01:24 If your house has been cooled by them, then it was Fairlease taking part in that. Fairlease.org 972705. 4815-975-972-705 pizza. Fair lease, when you don't know what to do about a car because car stuff is hard, but not with Fair lease. You don't need a dealership, baby. And welcome to our Thursday program, live to tape
Starting point is 00:02:27 from Zollies in Fort Worth. Right past the Chisholm Trail, you got to step over that. Be careful. I didn't see that. You don't get stuck over there. You'll ruin so many wonderful things in life. I ruined the Chisholm Trail? Yeah, like that whole highway ruined.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Proteins in. It is a very protein-centric society who live in now. This is the Dumb Zone. I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jake Kim. I'm Blake Jones. Foodie C.K. is out here. and on this very day
Starting point is 00:03:06 that we're at Zollies in Fort Worth we have Julie Dobbs we brought sand to the beach this is quite the beach lots of ladies in the house everybody else introduce themselves and nobody else got applause thank you everybody
Starting point is 00:03:25 why is that let's make her feel good let's let the team manager have a touchdown Hey, this is the spot where they named a sandwich after one of us, and it wasn't me and it wasn't you. Damn. Is it the Pugs and Kelly? Yep, the Pugs and Kelly. I think that's pretty high on my list. It's the press box hot, Sammy.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Is it still on the menu? So initially you're like, oh, what a negative thing this press box hot label is. But look, look at what does this happen? I mean, it's a whole brand. Yeah. It's amazing. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Do they still have it on the menu or no?
Starting point is 00:04:06 Who knows? Let's just say they do. Yeah. Okay. We'll come on out here to Zollies in Fort Worth. If indeed you are, you know, tuning in live, you could come out and still catch Julie before she leaves. It's difficult to catch her. I mean, you'll be here for a few hours, right?
Starting point is 00:04:25 I will. But if you're listening later, like live to tape, We think Zolis will still be open later and then tomorrow. They have big plans to stay open. Yeah, so on and so forth. Big outdoor area as well. Bring your kids, apparently. They even got the cover over the kids playground.
Starting point is 00:04:46 So you can stay in here, drink a little bit. I'm sure that this is just a signal and noise. Do you ever have this deal where I feel like when I moved from right here, everything cool opened? I moved right before this. place opened. That's right. You did live near here. There's about 15 other cool spots right around here that it seems like they all opened right when I left. Yeah, I lived very close to here. I lived close to here. And this is where I learned
Starting point is 00:05:13 how into youth softball Dan was because I knew one thing about Dan at that point and his views on Fort Worth, that he hated driving here and he complained about the cones. But he seemed to be driving to Fort Worth a lot when I would talk to him. And finally, I found out. it's because he was driving all the way from South Lake to West Fort Worth to pick up a youth softball pitcher who is not his daughter to play on his daughter's team. Oh, Dan. That's cheating. Why is it cheating?
Starting point is 00:05:46 He was picking up a ringer over up in Fort Worth. Yeah. He was helping her advance her career at the end of the day. Yeah, and she was being raised by a single mother who... He was helping. Did you have the huts for her mom? or something? No.
Starting point is 00:06:02 This is not an uncommon situation. Certainly not. Actually, no. But this is not an uncommon situation though, right? Like a kid in your athletic sphere usually is pretty athletic and doesn't have a dad. Is that the way it is? Just, come on. Let's be honest.
Starting point is 00:06:19 We all were growing up. It's like, damn, it seems like, yeah, your buddy. And so, yeah, you. The mom's just oblivious to their talent. I had one good year of youth football. And it was the year my dad. and myself would drive around the neighborhoods to pick up all the good kids.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Yeah. Who were good at football. Yeah. Take them to practice in the game and then take them home. But it said... Sometimes my brother would get picked up and I'd be like following in on the street and going to go. We don't need him.
Starting point is 00:06:44 I want to go. We're going to leave him here. No, I'm just, I'm just interested in youth sports and helping the kids. Yeah. And yeah, if they are a... You know, if you can get movement on that ball at the age of 12, you're going to,
Starting point is 00:07:00 we're going to drive. We're going to send some traffic. 45 minutes there and then 45 minutes after the game to just make sure that we can stay in this thing. Anyway, yeah, is it the horses of the jockey? Who knows? Who knows? On today's program, we have sports, I see.
Starting point is 00:07:21 We have viewer mail because it is Thursday. We have the ewe. We have news and stuff. Oh, Taryn is here. for closing remarks, our annual visit with Taryn. Oh, she got a little applause, too. Well, I'm sincere.
Starting point is 00:07:36 It might have been from her. What? That's right. Female only. Again. Is it Ladies Day? International Ladies Day. Is it for real or no?
Starting point is 00:07:47 Are we just making that up? But we got a lot of ladies here. It's like it's every other week. It does, man. It's months here, but I think it is March. Like, I think it just happened. You get a month? So we're still celebrating.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Well, speaking of International Ladies Day, Yes. I don't know if this music will fit Blake, but Blake found me some music. Maybe this will work. Let's see. Does this sound ladies? Did you hear the story of my mom for some reason told me the story of getting her first period? Oh, I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:08:25 My mom's old and was probably, this is your very early 1960s. Okay. She was born in 1950s. So I'm just doing some math. We're pre-sexual revolution. Like, it's just on the edge out there. We're still in the part of America where they talk like this. Not a great softball pitcher, so nobody's picking her up to help her out.
Starting point is 00:08:50 But back in the early 60s or late 50s, whenever they, her parents split up, my grandma and grandpa. I'm so sorry. Apparently, grandpa was a little bit abusive in the physical way. and would also put his wiener wherever he could. So we can identify with one of those things. That was your grandpa? That was my grandpa. Apparently.
Starting point is 00:09:16 And then apparently back in that day when you got divorced, the town that you lived in usually pointed at the woman for not being able to keep a family together and she wasn't very popular. And so, actually, grandma, that's why they moved from the Pittsburgh area to Cleveland. Wow.
Starting point is 00:09:35 You get run out of town. But at this time, Pittsburgh is very close. When I grew up, I thought Pittsburgh was forever from Cleveland. Turns out it's like two and a half hours, but it seemed like it's another state. It's all these. I fall asleep every time we go there. It's got to be far.
Starting point is 00:09:55 So it has to be forever away. That is the most kid hitting, identifying thing you have ever said. How far away is it? Kid, Matt. I don't know. I fall asleep ever. every time we go there. I remember that so well.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Grandpals, yeah, it's Rome. It's a nap. It's about a nap. Did you cross over, you say some of your era is my era more so than Blake. Did you ever, like, sleep in the back seat with no seatbelt? Of course. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Yeah, we didn't have like the station wagon back back thing, but of course. It just said spread out, let's go fall asleep. Yeah, I had that. You'd face out. You'd tell everybody behind you, you'd just be staring at him because you faced out in the station wagon. You'd be like, honk, honk. Hawk.
Starting point is 00:10:35 That's awesome. Some beat-down drivers just like, okay. Yeah, so then grandma would work in Cleveland for the week and then come back for the weekend. So my mom lived with her grandma, which I guess would be my great grandma. Nobody really knows. And then she told me the other day that, I don't know why, but she got to tell me about, oh, back then it was different.
Starting point is 00:11:00 When I got my first period, so I said, oh, really? She said she was at school and then, you know, she sees some blood or whatever, and then it's like, whoa, she's very concerned. Right. And she said her grandmother, who she lived with, would go nuts if there was ever a tiny cut on her hand. She would get to whatever it is, peroxide of the day. I don't know what they had back then, but she'd get it all and then, you know, attend to her and she'd just treat her like her little angel. Yeah. And she said, she came home and said, Grandma, Grandma, and then showed her the deal.
Starting point is 00:11:38 And Grandma was like, oh, didn't react like in this crazy way. Didn't try to fix her. Went to the cupboard, got a rag, said, here, put this in your pants. And that's the last grandma discussed this with my mom. Her mom then came home that weekend, went up to her, handed her a bag. handed her a book, and that's the last they ever spoke of it at all. Wow. So I'm bleeding.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Oh, we know. Your whole world is changing. I just got a rag and a book, but no verbiage, no talk back and forth. Like, this is what's happening. This is fine. It's normal. Right. So Blake bought me that book.
Starting point is 00:12:35 The book is called On Becoming a Woman. My mom told me. That's amazing. Look at the art. Oh, my gosh. Just a beautiful lady blushing a little bit with two men behind her staring. Very creepily. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Where will she become a woman? What's happening in that body? Dude, it's so weird. So the day I got this as a gift from Blake, I just opened up a couple of random spots and found, wow, it seems like every page there's stuff on this book. Yeah. Can confirm. Good content. So then I decided, well, I have to read the whole book.
Starting point is 00:13:10 And as I'm reading the book, I'm realizing if I do a full book report on this, it's going to be two hours. I'm going to have to give this out in doses. So I read the first three chapters, and we're going to review those now. Oh, that's amazing. I didn't know what I was in for today. This is so exciting. We told you, it's International Women's Day on the dump zone. And nothing more you need to gear up for, I'm thinking about women.
Starting point is 00:13:33 you go to Game Day Men's Health. That's what I would do. No doubt. I hope you become a woman. Gameday.com. That's right. Do you want to somehow germinate? I think it's called a germ.
Starting point is 00:13:48 We'll get to there. But anyway, yes, Game Day Men's Health can help you in all the right ways. We want to highlight a couple of locations today. We're in Fort Worth. They got one right over here off Medical District. There's one in North Richardson Hills at Mid Cities over by Birdville High School. I passed out one the other day. Gameday.dumzone.com.
Starting point is 00:14:09 I go to the grapevine location for the TRT. Also started the peptides for the recovery from the injury, and it is going very well, very, very pleased. Just feel great. Feel the best I've ever felt. So maybe that's not what they prescribed for you, but it starts with going into one of those locations and getting your levels checked
Starting point is 00:14:30 and seeing how they can help you. And then they may say your testosterone is fine, but then they look at your junk and they're like, that's not. We need help with that. No, but maybe you'll be fun. I don't know. About 15 minutes, though.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Very, very quick. Get your tea checked. And you can actually start your first treatment before you leave that first time. I got to be honest. If you want to get that 10% off, your TRT. I start the run of a game for both kids every Saturday for the next seven weeks this weekend. And the idea of doing that off the juice sounds horrible. I need the juice.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Gear up at camtay.com. That's what I'm telling you. So, I'm becoming a woman. Yeah, I read the first three chapters. And I highlighted quite a few passages that I thought Julie would really be interested in. Because this can teach you about being a girl. You don't understand. Now, what early female doctor wrote this book?
Starting point is 00:15:30 You don't understand what it's like to be. be a woman as much as Harold Shriok does. I can't wait. I can't wait to hear what Harold thinks. A man. Harold Shriok MD. He's going to mansplain being a woman. Okay. Chapter one is called the teenage girl.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Because we would guess I'm going to be handing this book to a teenage girl when they find blood. Oh. Okay, so there's a lot here, but I'm going to read, just grab a couple different paragraphs right here.
Starting point is 00:16:02 in your 20s and 30s, you'll be experiencing the realities of becoming bride, housewife, and mother. Oh. Each of these experiences will carry its full quota of satisfaction and enjoyment, but the routine duties that accompany
Starting point is 00:16:16 homemaking will fill your time so that you will hardly have opportunity to realize that your cherished daydreams have come true. He had talked about, you're going to daydream as a teenager about being a wife and a mother. But then later,
Starting point is 00:16:30 when you're busy cleaning and vacuum, You're going to, you're kind of, it's hard to realize, man, this is great. That's not horrible advice. Am I a misogynist? He's just saying like, this is the good time. Am I crazy? He's like, yeah, you're in, this is it. He's with the words in this book trying to convince you that your dreams are to be cleaning
Starting point is 00:16:53 the house and you're just too busy cleaning the house to realize that you've achieved your goal in life. He's trying to brainwash these women. It's all sad. Yeah. That this is it. No, no, no, this is it. Yeah, just cleaning the house sucks.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Well, okay, I have a question then. When women are like, oh, I dreamed about being a mom whenever I was young, what did you think it was? It's a lot of cleaning. That's different than cleaning the house. 24-7. Like, you got to do stuff. No, the mom part is what is exciting.
Starting point is 00:17:20 They just want to show the kid off. Yeah, it's cleaning. That's being a mom. But no, no. Like, if you were like, I want to be an NFL player when I grow up, you're not talking just about the games. You got to go lift weights and stuff. That's right.
Starting point is 00:17:32 This is all part of, you're the problem. Okay, so I thought. You don't understand what it's like to be a woman. Let's let Harold explain it. Back to Harold. Yeah. He does go on to explain to the young girl reading this. You must plot the course of your life when you are young and then follow this course for the remainder of your life.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Oh, dear. Like you need to make a lifelong decision now. You're a slave. Lock in. You have no freedom. Now, Okay, you are developing or failing to develop the traits of integrity, which you will carry with you through your life. It is largely during these teen years that you will become stabilized in your religious beliefs and will develop a philosophy of life.
Starting point is 00:18:17 During this same period, you may develop habits of personal neatness that will ensure your good appearance and enable you later to keep an attractive home. Okay. We are teaching teenage girls. Yeah, keep it together. It's important to have an attractive home. I'm just jumping around. It is true that when small girls and boys argue over which they would rather be, a boy or a girl, girls are always satisfied with being girls and boys are always satisfied with being boys.
Starting point is 00:18:49 It is also true that little girls play with their dollies and boys with their toy trains. Just kind of telling you the differences between kids. Okay. Now we're talking about going through some changes, which is giving you some curves here and there. And he does say the changes that have come about to make you a young woman have consisted of much more than the development of external curves. Uh-huh. So I'm noticing that. But actually there's more going on.
Starting point is 00:19:21 External and internal changes. And then he's talking about how progressive we are now. And this is now means the 1950s. Good. I love stuff like this. But how progressive we are, there was a time a generation or two ago when a false sense of modesty kept young people ignorant of the natural functions of the body. Boys and girls were made to understand that asking questions about such things was vulgar. It has been a long time since I was in my teens, and even then I was not a teenage girl,
Starting point is 00:19:54 but I have a daughter who has just passed through her teens, whose fellowship and friendship I have greatly cherished. my comradeship with her has given me, I believe, a considerable insight into the thoughts that teenage girls think. This is the origin of mansplaining. That's right. He's like, I got a daughter. I'm a woman scientist now. That's a bold claim, but...
Starting point is 00:20:20 The next chapter is called Chapter 2. Where did you come from? Okay. And there's a little picture of a baby and a lady. Very cute. And then there's just, there is a lot of, of technicalities in here. These books a lot less worried about your community college flyer diversity needs.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Oh, no, no. A little more straightforward. It's all about germing the thing. It's like a germ. Anyway, we're getting very technical. Never really, like if my mom just read this, I don't know. I've only read three chapters. But if she just read this and then went to have a baby, I'm not sure she would have figured
Starting point is 00:20:58 it out very well. But not from the first three chapters. but she does say that he does say the birth canal consists of the vagina. Oh. Thank you, Harold. We would have had no idea. At times other than childbirth, the vagina is a slender passage. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Which leads from the lower part of the uterus to the outside opening between a mother's thighs. It was by way of the vagina that the original germ cell from the father was implemented or implanted into the mother's body. That's as much as we get. you implanted a germ Okay So you kind of know At least this is the door He skipped the part
Starting point is 00:21:37 Now how do we get in it He skipped the part that the door is way longer Down the hall than you think He should have included that The trip all the way Admittedly the process of child That's going to take a whole another series My
Starting point is 00:21:52 Bowling? He does say admittedly the process of childbirth is painful to the mother Oh good He's willing to concede the woman struggles. Principally from stretching of the tissues that form the birth canal. At lunch. Here, I'm going to teach you about giving birth now.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Thank you. Harold has a daughter. Childbirth is a normal process, however, and the mother soon forgets the pain and discomfort. Yeah, I walk around a lot of women who seem like they've forgotten about it. They all seem... A healthy mother with a wholesome outlook on life. Chinna, Buttercup. Finds great pleasure in the knowledge that she has had an important part
Starting point is 00:22:37 and bringing a new life into existence. It's an important part. One step. Not all of it, though. No, I mean, you didn't do that much. An important part. You're Shane Badiate. Just ejecting the human.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Her mother love is so strong that the discomforts of childbirth are overshadowed by the pleasures and satisfactions of mother. Harold, you don't know what you're talking about. Harold, you don't know what you're talking about. Yes, he does. He's a doctor. You've never birthed a human. You don't know how it feels.
Starting point is 00:23:02 You're a wife. You're a role player. You should be happy to be here. You love being a mother so much that it doesn't hurt to give birth, basically is what he's saying. I mean. Yeah, what do you have wrong with it? Spot the line. I mean, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:16 I bet, but the problem is back then, you know, the control or command F didn't exist. So your mom couldn't just like search for blood. Like, when are we getting to the part where I figure out what's, What's happening here? One more chapter. I told you a three-chapter review. Yes. That's how we'll do this.
Starting point is 00:23:33 This chapter is called Evidences of Womanhood. Well, maybe this is it. The changes that occur in a girl's body at the time of her transition from girlhood to womanhood are brought about and controlled by her ovaries. Oh, I think I read, I highlighted this because I learned a lot. There are two ovaries. I learned it. I highlighted this face. This was very interesting to me.
Starting point is 00:24:02 There are two ovaries, one right and one left. In the lower part of the abdominal cavity, one on each side of the uterus. The ovaries are small glandular organs, somewhat oval in shape, measuring about a half inch in thickness, three quarters an inch in width and one and a half inches in length. During childhood, the ovaries have remained essentially functionless awaiting the time when they would be called into action during the early teens. Yeah, I learned that.
Starting point is 00:24:26 The second function of the ovaries, he must have told the first, is to reproduce female germ cells called Ova. Blah, blah, blah. The purpose is to contribute to the beginning of a new life. A baby must have both a mother and a father. The creator has therefore arranged it, so the life of a baby begins only when the female germ cell is joined by a male germ cell. So he says it's called a spermatozoom. Oh, this is fun. Spirma to zo.
Starting point is 00:25:02 I used to laugh at spermatozoa. That was one that would show up in the. Spirma to zoon. So that's like the full word? Spirma to zoom. Is that the full word of sperm? I know Zoa. Well, he calls it of sperm to zoos.
Starting point is 00:25:16 That's a way more fun word. Zooning. Yeah, goonin. Maybe you just zoom all around. I have a question. I feel like you've been emphasizing this. Did somewhere in the last 70 years, like colloquially, because germ only gets used negatively now.
Starting point is 00:25:34 You know what I mean? He's just talking about, like, what's the term? Cells. But he thinks of... Like germinate. Right. You use it that way. You think of as dirty.
Starting point is 00:25:43 But you would never call Greek semen germs. You would never say the germ. It's a weird way to talk about it. Right. No. Like it's icky. No, it's not icky at all. Wonderful.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Zoon is singular. Zoha is plural. Okay. So one little sperm. Is it just putting one in there? A zoon. It does take till page 24, we start to get to the male germs,
Starting point is 00:26:08 the female germ cell and the male germ. Oh, it does say, and as much as a baby must have both a mother and a father, the only proper time for a union to occur between a female germ cell and a male germ cell is after marriage. That's the only proper time. the father intended.
Starting point is 00:26:28 And then he kind of talks about the uterus lining will become detached and end up being what my mom was concerned about when she first went home. But it took her till page 25. Yeah. We learned a lot. It bled out. We had to brainwash you on a lot of things before we get there. Page 25. Oh, I thought this is funny.
Starting point is 00:26:52 because we can victim blame a little something here. During menstruation, a woman must wear some type of sanitary napkin to keep herself tidy and avoid the embarrassment of being offensive. Oh, so she would be offensive if she has a little bit of an accident. If I see it, I'm going to point and laugh at it. Jeez.
Starting point is 00:27:12 You need to know that, so tidy up. And a little advice for you. A young woman during the period of her menstruation should avoid activities such as horseback riding and tennis. What odd two activities to point out that you should avoid.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Different sentence, she should also abstain from swimming. Oh, okay. What about that other thing, Harold? Then he also just says, abstain from swimming period, ooh. Disgusting. I mean, they didn't have to.
Starting point is 00:27:53 the tools that we have now, right? It's a good reminder. Literally rags, I guess. It's way easier to be alive now. Yeah. So I'd like you to join us every time we do this, even if it's on the phone or whatever. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Sure. So we can teach you. This is good for me to learn. So you can help raise your daughter because you probably don't even know. This is, yeah, this is huge for me. This is a great time. And I'll just tease the next chapter for next time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:17 The first paragraph is this. The differences between a teenage girl and a teenage boy are much more fundamental than appears externally. True. The girl is characterized by her feminine curves, her soft skin, and her broad hips, as compared with the boys' more angular form,
Starting point is 00:28:32 bearded face and broad shoulders. Also, a girl thinks feminine thoughts is domestic in her inclinations and is fundamentally gentle in her relation to others. Wow. So you're clearly inclined. You want to be domestic. You want to,
Starting point is 00:28:52 touch that vacuum. Why? We're born with a little mop in our hands. It's like you're, you ever have a dog, our dog will do this. He'll just act like he's out in a prairie knocking the grass down, but he's, there's no, there's nothing around him.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Yeah. He's just pretend building himself a nest or a bed. Yeah. I saw my wife. It's built into him and built into you is clearly, you know. Right. That's why they like, you'll see him sleeping and they'll

Starting point is 00:30:49 KT sent me a piece of audio Is it okay if I play it? Blake, I know you're anti-K-T generally. How long is it? Well, first we have to go through a maze to get to. Right. Kevin. No, this is Anthony Hill Jr.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Yeah. You familiar with him? Future cowboy. Linebacker, yeah? No. So, apparently Texas? Yeah. UT?
Starting point is 00:31:19 Yep, he's great. Had a pro-day. and the Cowboys are in on interviewing him or whatever, and Channel 8 had a report. The Cowboys in search of a few good men in next month's NFL draft. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer and members of the front office in Austin for UT's Pro Day today is no secret that Cowboys need linebackers. And UT's Anthony Hill Jr., who attended Denton Ryan,
Starting point is 00:31:45 would love to play for his hometown team. And he's got the Cowboys attention. he had Schadenheimer actually did dinner last night. Did dinner. They did some dinner. Actually, do you say actually or do you say, of course? Right. They had dinner together.
Starting point is 00:32:05 I had talked to him a little bit. I had a dinner with him last night. You know, I'm a Dallas kid, so, you know, it would be nice to go play for the Cowboys, you know. Wouldn't have to go too far. Den's like 30 minutes down the road, so it would be nice. I wasn't. It was a good combo.
Starting point is 00:32:17 We had some laughs, some talk, some football. It went pretty good. Be chill, be yourself. Just be yourself. Like, at the end of the day, they got to draft you as a person, so you're not trying to be some guy you know.
Starting point is 00:32:27 I mean, you're drafting what you're getting. You can't go there and be a different guy. I like it. This is going to be fun. The Cowboys usually will put out a bunch of these things. This is where we learned, was it Clyde Edwards-Alair? Yeah. Where Stephen and Jerry were talking to him about frog it.
Starting point is 00:32:44 And they just posted their draft calls on the website. There's none up there right now. but if Shottie can get in on that, you know he'd love to. Yeah, my cowboy thing is the article that I wrote yesterday, so the draft is coming. We are a month out, right? And the Cowboys have two first-round picks. So for me, this is a time to get very excited.
Starting point is 00:33:05 Not too often you're going to have a stretch where you have two firsts and your team doesn't, like, totally blow. That's Brown's behavior, you know? Like, you're not in the mix at all. That's why you have two first-round picks. but to be kind of on the path to basically you have a quarterback and to be able to say we think that gives you a chance now you can think about how to maximize those first
Starting point is 00:33:27 you don't need a quarterback you don't need a receiver likely it just becomes fun to then everything else is on the board well then it's always about weighing the value of that do I pick a linebacker there I love it I love that the value stuff is changing there's a guy that writes about he writes about football in general, but writes about defense and secondary stuff. We've had him on, I think, on the ticket before.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Cody Alexander. We're going to have him on on Monday. But this draft is super interesting to me just from the perspective. There's a bunch of guys that don't have a position. And it seems like we're moving towards almost the positionless football thing that happened in basketball 15 or 20 years ago.
Starting point is 00:34:08 You can never really fully do it because you have rules about where people have to line up, you know? You have to have people line up here with these numbers. They can't. It's not basketball where everybody actually could play interchangeably. But, you know, there's a bunch of these defenders that are right there where the Cowboys might be drafting.
Starting point is 00:34:28 And I'm starting to get horned a little bit. They added a defensive tackle or two in one year. Yeah, a lot of subtraction, too, though. No, but when I'm not talking about the quality, I'm talking about the approach. I've been a cowboy fan my whole life. They've never had a decent defensive tackle presence. Nothing that was more than a flyer or, you know, and oh, okay, that's a guy. They've also never really had a safety.
Starting point is 00:34:58 And that's what I'm saying, is if this is the draft where they say, fine, we're doing all the, they hire retreads. Well, this time they haven't. They have two OC and a DC that are different. They went out and got, like I said, they went out and got beef inside. If they draft a safety with one of those two picks, I'm going to be very excited about that. And the reason that I bring that up, the article is about Donovan Azaraku. Because I think about half the mocks have the Cowboys taking an edge in the first round. And it's kind of hard to imagine that they get an edge and a safety.
Starting point is 00:35:31 I would, you know, edge and you're fine either way. You're a historically shitty defense. You really can't go wrong. But he's like the only good player you have. So if you could add anywhere else. And he's better than people thought, I think. He's the only good edge? He's the only good.
Starting point is 00:35:47 What are you saying? Well, who's a good player? Oh, outside of the inside, outside of your defensive tackles. I don't trust anybody. Overshowing you can't count on. Blan, you can't count on. Who is Revel? Maris Leoff.
Starting point is 00:35:58 He's the only guy. And I think if they had picked him in the first round last year, instead of the second round, we wouldn't be having the same conversation. He was projected to be a fringe first round talent And he performed like a fringe first round talent Wait, what do you mean if we picked him in the first round? He was a second round pick. But when they picked him...
Starting point is 00:36:17 Why would they have a different view of them now? Because you'd be like, well, that's a first rounder that hit. And I think people... I thought your expectations would be higher. No, my point is you look at him and think, well, they haven't really addressed edge. I think if he played like a first round pick, if you look at all of the pressures and all the stats,
Starting point is 00:36:35 the snaps played. He's right up there with the guys that were selected in the first round last year. If he was 6'2 and had 40-inch arms, he'd be a first-round. He's small. He is at underside. But they say that that's perfect for this defense. That he's a 3-4 outside linebacker. For the Christian Parker team.
Starting point is 00:36:53 Right. For all the, well, Osa is not really a fit. See, that's not a fit. They say that as a Raku is. So I think it's a point you bring up a lot is just that when a guy was drafted, changes what you think about it. And I think if he had had a good rookie year like he did last year, and he was a first round 20th overall last year.
Starting point is 00:37:11 This year you might be like, well, they need an edge, but they did take it last year in the first round. They've got Azaraku. But because he was like 40-whatever, you think, I still need to take a first round edge. I'm not mad at any pick, but I think they have a little something there. I think he's a good player.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Sam Williams also had a great rookie year. I was going to say, And he had a pretty good second year, but you remember what happened to him. Yeah, but I was thinking about Azaraku, because they do say, like, that's one of those positions that you can take a big jump. Yeah. Because the offensive linemen have so many tricks, all that kind of stuff. For sure. And now, you know, you're learning stuff as your first year goes on.
Starting point is 00:37:51 But Sam Williams would then negate that thought, right? Sam Williams was on track. He had a good second year, too. I went back and looked at all this this morning. He blew out his whole leg at camp. Okay. He missed the whole year. and then, you know, I guess.
Starting point is 00:38:07 So this has to come back from it yet. Prove it year? Well, he's got one. They just put him on a one-year deal, right? Yeah. My only other sports thoughts for the day, it is opening day. We'll be at the ballpark next Friday. Did you see any of the Netflix thing?
Starting point is 00:38:24 I saw some clips and I read about it. I heard that they missed the ABS call. Yeah, the first ever. It's not a great. All's and Strikes call in the history of Major League Baseball was missed because they were doing one of 50 interviews they did during the game. Like they're trying to show, hey, look, hey kids. Yeah, baseball is fun?
Starting point is 00:38:47 Watch baseball. We'll talk to players during the game. Like, is that something we've all been dying for? Is that going to be every game now and not just like? Well, every Netflix game. Every Netflix game I'll be talking to the people. But other networks aren't doing that every game, right? Did they're in the dugout?
Starting point is 00:39:06 ESPN? I didn't catch a lot of the game. ESPN would mic up players on the field. Just for like a regular season. Four years. Yeah, like Sunday night baseball? Yeah. That's not what you're talking about, though, right?
Starting point is 00:39:19 No, I mean, they would just interview various people throughout the game. And I don't know if they miced up during the game, though. Same thing. I watched very little of it and read a lot about it. I thought it was weird seeing Barry. Bonds on the pregame. You don't see much of him anywhere.
Starting point is 00:39:38 Barry Bonds? Back. Oh, okay. Barry Bonds is back. I thought you were on the list. I thought you were going to say John Doud because he didn't sign his rights away to MLB
Starting point is 00:39:48 the show. Oh, yeah, John Doud, his fake name. They didn't give Michael Jordan a fake name. He was a shooting guard 23. Yeah. Barry Bonds was the one player. Yeah. He was John Doud.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Pretty sure he was a white guy, but hit left. He had 99 everything, but his name was John Dout. Yeah. You just knew it was Barry Bond. Belichick's the same way. He's not in Madden. So a baseball story.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Is Jordan? Is Jordan Hudson? Oh, I didn't see her in CAA. She might be. Did you see the story about the Rangers letting one of their young bullpen arms let him know during a game that he was on the opening day roster? Yeah, I've got some audio about this. I wanted to bring this up.
Starting point is 00:40:30 Okay. because I think it's a bad bit. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Now, everyone loves it and we're bad people. Mom Game loved it. I'm sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Well, we talked about... I only heard a little bit of. We talked about that it was cool, obviously a cool moment for him, but also that it was cheesy, and they were probably only doing it to go viral on social media. You were a little more suspect. Yeah, probably just being around y'all so much. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:40:54 If we just ruin people. But it's true. They were like, this could be such a cool moment. for everybody to see. But it used to be like a hard knocks thing. They'd take you behind the, you know, in the building. This is how they did it. Now, Shottie's putting it on social media.
Starting point is 00:41:09 He cried when the one guy made the team. Perry on Winfrey. Who wasn't around long. But we're just doing this too much. I guess. Perry on Winfrey's mom didn't cry when he made the team. No. He's like, oh, it's such a journey.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Here's how I can support this. If you also show, you should cut them during the game. That's the only reason I was bringing it up. It was like, all right. Why not? And then you got to make, he's like his most devastating moment in his life. Right. Jake Burger is like, ha, ha, ha, everyone's laughing.
Starting point is 00:41:40 And so obviously he has this moment on the mound and then he is interviewed in the dugout by Laura Stickles. And I'm having a hard time deciding whether this was a good interview or not because she asked a question that I absolutely cannot stand. But Dan is the judge here of interview questions. And here's Laura Stickles with Carter Baumler. We got to witness what looked like a pretty special moment on the mound between Skip Schumacher and Rangers Rule 5 pick Carter Bomber.
Starting point is 00:42:08 A lot of smiles, a lot of high fives. And I'm actually here in the dugout with the guy himself, Carter Bomler. Carter, we are all dying to know. What did Skip Schumacher tell you on the mound? Yeah, you know, I wasn't expecting it. I was like, why is he coming out here? And he got on the mound and told me I made the team. so yeah pretty cool what were you expecting when he came out to the mound to talk to you
Starting point is 00:42:34 i mean honestly i thought i was like getting taken out of the game i was like i didn't know what was going on obviously whenever the manager comes out like you know you're usually done so yeah he just came up and told me i made the team and everybody just you know kind of said congrats and i mean what a special way like i it caught me totally off guard so that was pretty cool Carter, you're a big leager. So what does that mean to you? Yeah, you know, it's... You're fishing.
Starting point is 00:42:59 We were good until then. I was like, man, I think these are fine. But that's not... We were great until then. Yes. Yes, great job. You're a big leaguer. What does that mean to you?
Starting point is 00:43:07 I don't know. That's not the question I have issue with. Endless tail. Although this one, like, you know you're going to get an emotional answer. You're not going to get a good one. Like, it's just... It's too fresh. Went through a lot of hard times over the last, like, few years, and pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Pretty special. I can kind of see you're getting a little emotional right now. What are you thinking? I cannot stand that question. Can I get you to cry? You're beginning to cry. Just saying, I'd like to get you to cry. Don't follow up.
Starting point is 00:43:35 You don't need to follow up on that. My grandma drove me to practice and she died. Did that hurt you? She had AIDS. Yeah. She got it from a baseball. Yeah. So, I mean, he goes on to give a good answer,
Starting point is 00:43:48 but I don't like when the reporter follows up on an emotional moment. I think it's kind of what you're training. to do. Just keep prodding. Maybe there's a better way to ask you. Why are you almost crying here? Right. It maybe is a little weird on a baseball broadcast.
Starting point is 00:44:03 It sounds like something you should be saying on the couch with a therapist. Right. You're in the middle of 40. Maybe it's just not the moment. Those college football sideline reporters definitely asked that question and she probably saw it. You know, it's like, oh, tears, let's lean in. Extend the soundlight.
Starting point is 00:44:18 I mean, she's also, it's the school of don't ask a question that can be answered yes or no. Yeah. I can't wait until Palantir or whatever gets to the point where there's a chip in you and they can see what you're thinking. And so, you know, the play-by-play guy, let's go down there.
Starting point is 00:44:37 What are you thinking in this moment? And he's like, oh, just about my family and it's just a thing pops up. It's just a strip club. Yeah. And like, ooh, it was pussy. Oh, me see. Bitcoin I'm going to buy this.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Right. Anyways, let's hope that never happens, right? He actually sounded, that was cool. That guy sounded very, yeah, I thought. That was a cool moment. If I could separate the two, I thought his answers were great. I just didn't. I don't know the backstory, but that's cool.
Starting point is 00:45:07 He's fired up. Rule 5 guy wasn't supposed to make the team. He's just been freaking electric, and he'll be the closer halfway through the season. That is good. It's a feel-good story. Jack Leiter and Kumar Rock are both in the rotation? Yeah, Kumar is number five. This feels like a bit of a referendum.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Jack Lider's making pitching ninja. which is great. For your buddy, for C.Y. He drafted both them, of course, right? That had to have been one of his first couple drafts. That's the plan. And now they're both there. Because they, you know.
Starting point is 00:45:36 What are they thought of as this year? Not even a 500 team. I meant to look up the wind hole. No, I looked. It was not, it was not much below 500, if it might have been slightly above. Let me look. 83 and a half. While we're looking, let me just give a quick shout out to Qualis Roofing.
Starting point is 00:45:56 We were supposed to have the Qualus drone out here today, but then the guy who's... Just say there were technical difficulties with the drone. Well, I just want to say TC didn't show up. Skyler, if you guys came out for TC, he apparently... Am I supposed to not even mention that? It's tough to avoid. Like at all? We have a guy for these things.
Starting point is 00:46:21 We have hired TC, and one of his main duties is like, if we have a remote, you got to come out and help set it up like the equipment. And then before the show, put the drone overhead so that we can promote where we're at and everybody could see it when they go to the YouTube. And then he just didn't show up at all. And I guess we've been texting him and he, I'm just concerned for his safety. He's alive. Oh, he did get a text back.
Starting point is 00:46:51 Yeah. A little waking up. He's just sleepy. My dad, I think I've told you guys this, my dad worked at UPS for like almost 40 years. And he's a grinder, he's an MFer. There's just nobody that can outwork. You know, everybody says that about the dad. But he would like, so he had a lot of credibility at work.
Starting point is 00:47:10 And he would always bring people on. And his hit rate with my cousins, his, you know, my stepmom's cousins, buddies, very low. Oh, because he's trying to help people out. Yeah, yeah. And I'm like, why didn't you just say? stop. And those people didn't feel like this extra obligation to him. Like,
Starting point is 00:47:28 I would always say that. And I would talk to my cousin or my buddy. I'm like, you know my dad looks like an ass when you do that. They're like, I don't know, man. Just can't help it.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Anyway, Qualis G. They have more than drones that don't fly when T.C. Oh, yeah. That was a good life spot. No, I mean,
Starting point is 00:47:46 we might be pulling back the curtain here. I mean, it's T. It's T. It's drone that films everything. And we call it the Qualis drone, because, you know,
Starting point is 00:47:54 they're a great. sponsor, they use drones, and then we can put the thing on the thing on the street. The other day. Our good buddy, Sodd. Really? Yes. To, uh, well, they probably use the drone out of my house to initially inspect my roof.
Starting point is 00:48:08 So just, if you hadn't had a roof inspection sometime, you probably haven't. What's wrong with you? You'll do it for free. Don't make him yell. Go to Qualis. He will. QualisGC.com. A lot of wind, darling.
Starting point is 00:48:24 No doubt. A lot of wind. And Brian says that Brian's a good guy. He says there's a lot of, you get those roofing door knockers like guys driving through your neighborhood. Oh, they'll call you. He says they will, they will email you a do not knock on our door, no soliciting sign for any listener that wants one. Nice. Qualis G.C.
Starting point is 00:48:47 I mean, that's a great offer. What am I supposed to do? Printed out? What am I Fred Flintstone? Well, I'm not sure what. Do you have a printer? Printed a dance house. You don't have a printer?
Starting point is 00:48:57 I don't know. I think my wife might. Now we're to the point where having a printer makes you a boomer. Yeah, makes you print Flintstone, apparently. You read paper. I print my stuff every day. I just get my information in a nicotine pouch. Like a real.
Starting point is 00:49:19 I've got two more pieces of baseball audio, if you don't mind. Yes, I love it. So, I'm committing. I'm going to really, I'm going to really try to. Good. I need you with me. I texted someone else this morning. Last year it just felt empty.
Starting point is 00:49:34 I was so mad because of the Luca Tray that didn't do anything. I feel that. I feel very empty. And as David Ruff said to me this morning, we're just looking for a team whose values we can really sink our teeth into. So the Rangers who hold out on Pride Night and buy statues. Have you seen their starting nine? It's a matter of happenstance. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Is it like Adolf Rupp? It's a lot of Josh's. It's a lot of Josh's. Who coach the... I'll tell you what. If the Rangers win the World Series this year, then you can do your all-white team that won a championship. We're going to do a movie about it.
Starting point is 00:50:09 Yeah. We're going to Brewer's TV for this one. Think of the three owners in this town. Jerry Jones was in Little Rock in the crowd that was the mob that was yelling at the black kids trying to get into the school. Merriam Adelson, we know their bit, right? They got a lot going on.
Starting point is 00:50:31 And then the Rangers are like, hey, what if we just find the one statue in town that everybody says is racist? Tom Galardi's just crashing into walls and stuff. I don't know what he's... I don't remember him having anything too hot about Tyler during the bubble. For real, I don't remember. I'm sure he's got... What was the only thing about them was...
Starting point is 00:50:51 The ice playing... and they're like, yeah, we're not going to cancel the game. Yeah, no, like I think Galardi's probably got some pretty wild opinions, but thus far has been able to keep to himself. Yeah. All right, sorry, baseball audio. This is Brewers TV. Everyone loved this moment because their disclaimer sheet that they were supposed to read
Starting point is 00:51:10 coming back from break flew out of the press box. Oh, okay. And so that kind of sent them into a mini panic. But the way that it stuck on the netting, they could read it, because the camera operator zoomed. zoomed in enough and they were able to read it. That's excellent. Off of the monitor.
Starting point is 00:51:27 That's what everyone loved. But we go beyond the clip here. And my favorite part of this is like the play-by-play guy who has no personality. He's only trained to talk and broadcast voice. He knows no pop culture references and can't be funny. They try to be funny in the moment and they just can't. Temperatures at 104 at the given moment.
Starting point is 00:51:50 Only getting hotter. Is Garrett Mitchell made that nice. running catch and see one of our promo sheets flying out the window hopefully you don't need to read that one Marty because it is up against the netting behind home plate see if we can read it from here so then they start zooming in on it my scorecard is that our disclaimer those are right to telecast yes it was let's see we just read it up the netting Bob Cossus had just yeah go ahead copyrighted telecast presented by authority the Milwaukee Brewers may
Starting point is 00:52:22 not be reproduced retransmaned count of descriptions of this game and I'll be disseminated without the express written consent of the Milwaukee Brewer. But now they can't go back to the game. We didn't even wasted. Oh, got it twice. What are the odds? Sticking right on the net. Well, because of the wind, it's not going anywhere. It's going to be up there for a while. Heck, it might still be there by the time we come back to spring training next year. Unless someone goes all Spider-Man on the fence. Yeah. It's after it. Oh, now it's gone. That'd be crazy.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Spoke too soon. And it's going to end up. This is like watching Forrest Gump's feather. Uh-huh. Maybe those fans are going to read it. Oh, my gosh. It looks warm down there. It's just destroying.
Starting point is 00:53:05 Those guys are killing. It's way too obsessed. That gentleman sitting behind home plate. Mitchell hits it on the ground. Oh, finally we're back to the game. That was great. I thought it was odd that we disseminated that audio of them saying it is illegal to disseminate this audience.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Is that what the disclaimer was? No, he didn't play the video. YouTube won't get mad at us. I don't care about YouTube. Oh, you think MLB's coming after us? I don't care about anything. This next one. He really doesn't.
Starting point is 00:53:37 This next one, so typically, you know, when you're playing baseball as a youth, you want to pull your pants up to show your socks. That was a very popular thing to do. Sure. I did. I did it way too long. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:51 But that's typically called you're wearing your pants. pants up. If you're not doing that, you're wearing your pants down. That's just what we say. But the way this broadcaster illustrated this, he was looking at Byron Buxton who had his pants all the way down, and the way he phrased this was really funny. Turns on the Jets are on second base, he's into third easy. It's a good start for the twins here in the fourth inning. You ever seen Buck with his pants down? Uh, no. Like in shorts? No, like he's got, he doesn't have his No socks showing. Ah, I see what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:54:28 You ever see what you're saying? You ever see Bucks' dick? That's funny. He's caught so off card. Oh, are you asking? Did you see? No. Like, what are you accusing me of?
Starting point is 00:54:41 No. Oh, no. Let me just say something that you're not going to like Blake. Oh, no. I just want to issue on the heels of us over laughing at Josh Lewin and being reminded of it. half a decade later. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:57 I'm leery of these play-by-play guys trying to be viral guy now. Oh, that was on purpose? I don't know. I just feel like when you say... I don't think he's just sitting in the hotel. Like, they all want to be... The internet. It ruined the...
Starting point is 00:55:16 It's like Homer Call, right? We started to know people wanted to be on Homer Call, and it started to... Local people. Local people for sure. I don't know. I mean, think of the way he's... said that. I never seen Buckwith his pants out? He sounded very
Starting point is 00:55:30 comedic timing. Was it the Rockets broadcast that would try to do that? They would say we're getting dunk-mogged right now. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Singoon frame mocks him. Yeah. Yeah, okay. I don't know. I don't know. It's still fun. You're probably right.
Starting point is 00:55:47 There's baseball. There's baseball. And now let's do some viewer mail. We also got a great Julie laugh out of it. Excellent, Julie laugh. It got me. Is there another?
Starting point is 00:56:00 Kind of, Julie laugh? The one when she sees how much money she's saving with Ownwell. That's a maniacal, Julie laugh. How about that? In the wild. That was my own well laugh. My own well laugh. What's our own well?
Starting point is 00:56:17 Our portal, if we're telling people where to... You know what I'm saying? Ownwell.com slash the dumb zone, but... Okay, so... I don't know where I got an email this year. Like I did the Ownwell thing last year. And I thought, okay, I'll do it again when I remember. I don't need to do it again.
Starting point is 00:56:39 Ownwell sent me an email that says, hi, hi, Daniel. I like that. Makes me sound important. 26 property tax season right around the corner. We're here to help. Last year, we saved you $335. Blah, blah, blah. It's a new opportunity to save money.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Anyway. They're like here, here you go. And they tell you some little things if you wanted to add some pictures of damages or something, and there's no need to file your own appeal this year. They've got me all set up. Save time, save money. At boneworld.com slash the dump zone. Make it easy.
Starting point is 00:57:15 I'll start with one from lawyer Dustin. As he acknowledges, we do the trope of the thing on the plane, hey, do you mind switching seats all the time? But he needs a ruling from us. I booked a flight and picked seats. The airline wiped my seat selection and told me that I'd get my seat assignment at the gate. I get to the gate. They're confused, and finally, after hashing it out, I get my seats.
Starting point is 00:57:43 Here's the problem. My four-year-old kid and me aren't next to each other. We're opposite windows of the same aisle. I figured we'd get on the plane and sort it out. We get on only guy in the road. is an older dude with a ponytail. I ask if he would mind since they didn't put me and my kid together
Starting point is 00:58:03 despite me having chosen seats. He said no. So I tossed my kid his backpack and told him good luck. Is that guy an asshole? Now I think the thing we have to be clear about here is when he says he's the only guy in the row. Does that mean that there are no other people? Or only male?
Starting point is 00:58:24 Because a standard plane is it's two and two, right? Three and three. Three and three usually? Yeah. Okay, so I just don't see a situation where you, your kid are at A and F, and he's in the middle. Well, what if your aisle, I got to have the aisle. I don't want the window. Is that kind of asshole then?
Starting point is 00:58:47 Because Dustin obviously wanted to go from that window over into his kids. Isle seat or vice versa. And it is a four-year-old kid. Now, that guy doesn't know that Dustin didn't just book that flight yesterday. He says he told him. He says he said they didn't put, I told him they put, they didn't put me in my kid together despite me having chosen seats. He's trying to add a little bit of info like, hey, I know you're going to say you should have bought him. I'm going to say I did.
Starting point is 00:59:13 And that guy thinks he's lying. Correct. That's why. That's why I probably said no. And Dan is making the point that a four-year-old doesn't need the aisle. No. The guy. Does the guy have the aisle?
Starting point is 00:59:25 Well, yeah. And I think you, I like, I'm an aisle guy. I'm an aisle guy. Like if somebody, tiny bladders. Not you, because you're a nice guy, but if somebody asked you, hey, we get out of that aisle and come over here to this window seat. Did Dustin have someone next to him too? Was he stuffed into the window seat?
Starting point is 00:59:42 I don't like to be stuffed into a window seat. So now this four-year-old's without a parent? Well, he's like done the same. He's not like doing a different plane. But they're four. Like, they need all the help. So whoever's sitting next to the four-year-old is the real. I think the guy with the ponytail's got him.
Starting point is 00:59:55 Loser in the situation. What's your name, kid? Ponytail is an interesting detail to add in here. That feels kind of, I mean... Just context. If he would have said in a do-rag, we would have been like, that's kind of racist. Yeah. Like, oh, pony-tale, okay.
Starting point is 01:00:11 It's something-ist, though. You're not happy about that, dad, dad. Getting him into reptiles. It's very reptiley. Yeah. Drew says we should do a bit. Yeah, yeah. What are you doing over there?
Starting point is 01:00:27 Playing magic. He's a whole new child at the end of the flight. Drew says, with the cancellation of The Bachelorette and Blake's absolute wreck of her relationship with Angelo, we can get two birds stoned at once. Dumb's own Bachelor, 20 different homeless men,
Starting point is 01:00:44 or women because it's 2026, Wu Blake to become the next Angelo. He reward he will reward them one golden Venmo card that will have $100 a month on it. This might be the only thing that brings the country back together during troubling times.
Starting point is 01:01:09 This is brilliant. Yeah, how do they compete, Blake? What would your criteria be? How would you ever choose? Yeah, I don't know. Do you have a type? Well, no, let's think about this. Like on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.
Starting point is 01:01:24 You know, on one episode, let's say they have 20, like four guys would just go with Blake. Like, they draw cards and it's like, all right, Darren. And then you got to hang out for a while? Yeah, they go to the train station together and just see what that's like. Like we go out, ride the dart together. Right, right. Go to lunch. They go to Lowe's.
Starting point is 01:01:43 They go to the storage unit. Yeah. Now, do you give them a... Because when you're in the bachelor. That's like the last episode. Yeah, that's the fantasy suite. Then they take Blake home. Oh, dear.
Starting point is 01:01:53 Right. No, but when you're on. When a bachelor, you'll make out, you'll have some sex. Like you're trying to see, is this, how is this going to work in the future? So you're testing it in little chunks. Do you give them a $25 card just to see, is he going to torches? Is he going to, is he looking for value? Because you want that as well.
Starting point is 01:02:15 Yeah. Angelo would not have gotten a rose. You want to stretch that dollar. Right. Also, like, I know your wife wasn't thrilled about having the guy in your car before. but have you revisited the situation since you learned he was trying to have sex with you? No, Clayton likes to bring that up a lot. So I was thinking about, boy, Angelo was in that car that day thinking this is not what I expected.
Starting point is 01:02:40 Why does he have a... His damn kid's always around. Why is I'm trying to get him to the storage unit. That's why the bed was in there. I got a couple. Jacob, who is here, movie trope, music in a bar when you walk in. And you could just immediately start talking to somebody that you intended to see. Like, when's the last time you walked in a bar and tried to talk to anybody?
Starting point is 01:03:06 Or like a club? Why, because it's so loud? It's insanely. You're doing the, hey, one of your clothes, yell, one of your clothes, we've got to get over here. It's like you can just walk up to a lady and just start, like, having a casual conversation. Another one, I don't know how to say this name. I'm going to go with a Quincyu. Murder trials take forever, and they don't happen right after the crime.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Which movies would certainly have you believe. That was a big deal for me when I was a kid, is learning... You can just be, like, free after you kill somebody. Yeah. That was like a shattering, perception-shattering thing, but in the movies... Out of an ankle monitor, right? In the movies, you got to... Yeah, that bug is.
Starting point is 01:03:45 The movies, the trial's coming tomorrow, basically. A couple good ones. I have one of these from Hammer. Unlimited ammo in any shootout. How many rounds are these guys having the clip? Yeah. Boy, except for then when you need it to fail. The gun's sticking at the opportune time is a very, it's Marty McFly almost getting shot by the terrorists.
Starting point is 01:04:11 That's the one that quickly came to mind. You know, current movie. Topical movie. Yeah. Current topical movie. Yeah, we're trying to grow with the youth. Everybody's on. We're screening back to the future.
Starting point is 01:04:21 How about? This is a new category, things nobody wants. I have a suggestion for a new list for Blake to keep. Everybody's producer. For years, I've tried to abide by Dan's general. Nobody wants this list. For example, no one wants to see pictures of your kids. No one wants to hear about your dreams.
Starting point is 01:04:46 That's not true. This feels like a personal attack. Because I like dreams and kid pictures. All right, let's throw one more at you. And nobody wants to see pictures of verification. Oh, yes, they do. You know, people say that. But Instagram is literally founded on that.
Starting point is 01:05:06 So there's something to the idea that you don't want to have to show them because you feel. But that's the whole point of the app. It's just people showing pictures. But the trope is still, oh, that's something everybody hates, like seeing your pictures. Am I wrong about that? Like, that's all Instagram is. Yeah. I'm not, I'm just not an Instagram guy, so I don't know.
Starting point is 01:05:30 And in certain circles, I think that's all vacations have become. That's a good point. Flip the equation. Is to fill your Instagram? Yes. Where did you go for spring break? Who went to the fanciest place? How many days were you gone?
Starting point is 01:05:43 What kind of fancy restaurants did you go to? What kind of matching outfits did your family wear? It's a real thing. Hold that matching outfits idea. because I have an email about that. But back to things nobody wants. With this in mind, I've recently been encountering a situation I think would be a good addition to the list. No one wants to hear about your workout.
Starting point is 01:06:06 Okay, yeah, that's pretty good. I'm so tired of friends, coworkers, etc., talking about what today's workout is. This is especially prevalent for CrossFit people or people who regularly attend some version of boot camp or other classes. The discussions about we did these today while demonstrating six. I would so much rather hear about what Jackson Barrios is providing your roster. Fantasy. Fantasy over that 100 times out of 100, dude. I'd rather you tell me you're inviting me to church than hear about your burpees.
Starting point is 01:06:41 Then he says, love you all, more Julie from annoyed and hazel. You know, the thing about people who talk like that is it always seems like they just started working out. Yeah And that's what it gives It gives like You just learned these things That most I mean most people I feel like
Starting point is 01:06:58 Dude I get a text from Blake Almost every day Of him just telling you While he's at the gym What he did Yeah Pictures of his leg press Because I'm just like
Starting point is 01:07:06 Hey can you do this or whatever And he's like leg day I'm like oh okay I guess I gotta wait To be private I work in the silence Blake's Gen Z though He's got to let everybody know
Starting point is 01:07:16 When he's working Oh I did He's got to put it on a billboard Actually, I said the matching outfits. I have one of those, and I have pictures with this one, Clayton. I'll go real quick while you pull those up. I got a couple, too. I got one from Cam.
Starting point is 01:07:32 This is regarding the plate in my arm. I got a titanium plate put in here. Cam told me he works in the funeral and cremation business. They have these conferences a few times a year. There are large groups of people who just work in scrapping people for titanium. Wow. That's a whole ass business. It's just professional bugs.
Starting point is 01:07:52 Because, like, people get cremated, and they have tons of high dollar titanium in them, and they show up, and they scrap you. Few conferences a year. Like they said, they have things where they come together, and it's like a trade show. So somebody somewhere will be using this plate for something else. You need to get some points on the back end. Right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:18 Pump it's in a drone or something. I have a couple follow-ups. The first, this one from Chris, this is about you not rinsing your mouth after you brush your teeth. He says where does mouthwash fall into the mix? I brush and then rinse and then do listering and do not rinse that. That's probably good because you're leaving the stuff that they intended to leave in your mouth and your mouth. And I wasn't even going to do it today. Brush your teeth.
Starting point is 01:08:41 I got 10 emails or messages this week from people who stopped spitting or rinsing. and how much their lives have changed. Can we reset this? Their lives have not changed. So you don't rinse after you brush, you just... Spid, but that's it. I don't get water. I don't have a little miniature cup like you guys do.
Starting point is 01:09:00 I thought you, like, just swallowed everything. Well, I mean, I kind of do. Like, it's just, you know... Yeah, that's terrible. You got to rinse. I've also never had a cavity. That sounds terrible. In my life.
Starting point is 01:09:09 I haven't either in my life. Ooh, you needed that. Oh, yeah. Because right now I would have the upper hand because they... The research says, I'm right. because like leaving the stuff on your teeth is better. All right, that's bullshit. Research says that there's no research on this.
Starting point is 01:09:24 That there is no real. Why would there not be research on this? I don't know. Yeah, okay, you're telling me did they get a thousand people that rinse and spit every day and a thousand people? Here's my anecdotal research. Big toothpaste will tell you to leave it. My anecdotal research that you guys have just proven is that you just don't, I don't, I think you have something genetically inherent, whether you get cavities or not.
Starting point is 01:09:46 That sounds like a guy who gets a bunch of busted-ass cavities. I got a bunch of cavities. Cavity-ass-haven. I got one kid with a ton of cavities. One kid never had a cavity. Okay. My wife never had a cavity. My college roommate would just drink sugar water.
Starting point is 01:10:05 He would drink water but pour a cup of sugar and like mix it. What? And never brushed his teeth. He's from Ohio. What was that? Like Mars Tax or what movie? They could actually get it in the ground. They get it in the ground.
Starting point is 01:10:16 there's sugar water. Because I'd be drinking water and he'd be like, how can you just drink that? And he would pour sugar in his water. That's disgusting. Well, you say that's disgusting, but you'll drink a Pepsi. But that has carbonation and
Starting point is 01:10:32 flavoring. Anyways. Anyways. We had a movie inconsistency last week where Anonymous who was a female said threesomes are not as great as you think. And we had questions. That's not what we were.
Starting point is 01:10:46 what they said, right? They said there's a lot of flirting. No, no, I want to be clear. They said orgies or like sex parties. Okay. And that is important. That's it. Yeah. Because they said that it's a lot of like people in a room kind of just not really having sex. Whereas with threesomes, I feel like you're getting down to business. Something's going on. Right. Anonymous follows up. If you guys want to ask questions, I'm down to get a voice altering apparatus and do something live. Or let's go. Yeah. Or you could send responses that are prerequential. and we fudge with it on the back end. So if we compile some questions, they'll answer it.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Yeah, we need a live. It's really hard to do live, the voice changer thing. We'll figure it out. Clayton will figure it out. Chipmunk. Maybe the way to do it is we're produced on the air is we recorded live, but then we can change it. I don't like submitting questions. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:37 Yeah, right. No, because you need to follow up on certain things, right? Right, you ask pricing. Such hornballs. Did you have another one before? All right, Dan. Let me get that one. I think it's entitled, Gay Not Gay,
Starting point is 01:11:54 if we're allowed to still do that. But I lost it somewhere. Okay, I have another law. What hell don't I just do? Look at you printing all your papers, now you can't find it. Oh, here it is. Yeah, I need some photos.
Starting point is 01:12:08 Dear Baron of the Bag of Leaves, my wife likes to pick out wild and sometimes flamboyantly, flashy matching outfits for shows, festivals, sometimes just to go to dinner. She gets a kick out of people reacting, especially if they smile or comment. Often, random strangers will just ask us for a picture.
Starting point is 01:12:32 I like bits, so I play along. Is this gay or is it just fun couple bits? Are all couple bits gay? So he asked that. As you're thinking of that, He adds, oh, by the way, so you're thinking about is his wife's thing gay, stupid, or whatever? She's basically making him dress up.
Starting point is 01:12:57 Oh, by the way, we just found out my wife has breast cancer. Well, what does that have to do with this? This should have been a separate email. Her leader was Parker County News. Now it's obviously Texas Oncology, and she needs to hear a spot by young Blake to be informed of the options. Never punt unless it's your quarterback in the 10-yard deep shotgun off play action. Always be cranking from James Crowley.
Starting point is 01:13:23 So what James wants. You see they dress up in crazy outfits. Right. And it's not just Halloween. Halloween is one thing. No, it's Tuesday. Yeah, right. They're going to a show, a concert. And so what James wants is he wants.
Starting point is 01:13:35 Or de Canne Roso. He wants, yeah. He wants me to tell this woman with limited time to live. No, that's not what breast cancer necessarily means. That her bit that she does to have fun is a waste of time. And he actually hates it. I won't do that. I'm sorry, James.
Starting point is 01:13:54 Well, I'm sorry to her. She's the one with breast cancer, Blake. I'm more sorry for James. Y'all. All that he has to go through. This is like the guy dying. Are you more sorry for the lady and her kids that they have to now live without a father? Julie's like Ted Williams whenever he tried to coach hitting.
Starting point is 01:14:13 Like she's like cancer, I beat it It's fine It's nothing big deal That's right That's the only attitude you can have Also at a guy You think your wife complains now Just imagine her with
Starting point is 01:14:27 Wait till she gets breast cancer You guys are the worst people Doesn't make you complain less after though Do you now not complain about the little shit That my wife complains about That's true It totally changes your perspective And there's a lot less complaining
Starting point is 01:14:42 except to my husband. I still complain about everything. But everything else in life is hard to get too upset about. I was thinking the other day, this was business Wednesday. Leaving dishes is still. Thank you, Sean Kernan. Sean Kernan, 360 wealth management is out here today. Fantastic.
Starting point is 01:14:55 If you want to go invest your wealth with Sean Kernan. I was thinking this yesterday because I often, my wife will get upset that I haven't, didn't remember. She was, did you remember? Oh, no. Really? Oh, okay. You said that? All right.
Starting point is 01:15:12 Yeah. So it was yesterday morning, business Wednesday morning. She's leaving for her. And she's like, oh, just a reminder, I do have book club tonight. As if I need it. Right, right. Reminders. 48 hours.
Starting point is 01:15:34 Reminder, like just fresh enough. The second you said that, I knew where I was going to eat, my what I'm going to watch, just the whatever. All day, the previous day, the whole what got me to sleep. What got me through the last day was knowing tomorrow. Yeah. I can share some good news on that front. I don't know that it'll be an addition to Book Club,
Starting point is 01:15:58 but we're catching the mahjong bug at home. Oh, yeah. You're going to get a lot of alone time. She was out last night. Is she doing Mahjong group mahjong? Yeah. Okay. I need to tell my wife about that because she plays it on the computer.
Starting point is 01:16:13 Don't know. She handed a piece of papers. It looked like it could have been tax documents. It was so confusing. It's very confusing. I was like I'm out. What's the Mahjong? How did you have fun?
Starting point is 01:16:23 Mahjong is very hard. It feels like any other fad that's come around, but I like that women get into shit like this and get hardcore about it. I like that they're into it, and I like that they're into it away from me. Yeah. It took me like two years to figure it out. Oh, but you have to as a woman? You're like it's. It's kind of vital to making friends.
Starting point is 01:16:43 Right. It's like golf. Like, they'd be like me saying you can't have Instagram. Yes. You have to have Instagram. Yes, I have to have Instagram. And you have to know how, you have to figure out, I really didn't want to. I do, my do not have room for learning a Japanese tile game in this brain.
Starting point is 01:17:00 Like, it's just not, I'm at capacity. So it's not just like random. And I literally like didn't have friends. I don't care. So I was like, okay, I'm going to, I'm going to buckle down and figure this thing out. And now I can kind of hang. I can kind of play. I ask a lot of questions.
Starting point is 01:17:13 which can be frowned upon, but I can hang. Her calendars, my wife's social calendar, could be doubling. Yeah, it's good for you. Wait, I think I have a gummy thought. Did I have a gummy thought? Oh, here's a gummy thought email. Brought to you by Early Bird CBD. Early Bird CBD.com is the website.
Starting point is 01:17:35 Dumb Zone 20 is the promo code that is active for 20% off, Beth. We promise. If you've used it, the old code, this one works. now. Dumb zone 20. These are CBD and THC gummies with real THC in them, two and a half migs of THC in each one. That's real THC.
Starting point is 01:17:53 If you take a drug test, you will fail. So either quit your job or, you know, figure it out. But these are the good deal. Or come work here. You don't have to show up. And we don't know the law. Right. Apparently very lax.
Starting point is 01:18:09 There's no doubt. It seems like he had to see early birds. We don't know. Early Bird THC was part of that. We don't know what the law. are going to be around here. So stock up now and get 20% off early bird CBD.com. DumbZone 20.
Starting point is 01:18:21 So I got howdy dumb zone? It says gummy thoughts. Two things I have today. I just discovered Roku Live TV has an all police chase channel. Oh. Okay. Where it shows just archived police chase footage. Choice nugs.
Starting point is 01:18:38 I feel like this would be great for Jake, especially after an early bird. Yeah, good stuff. Because, you know, they've seen, have you ever seen the, like, they've tried to do live cops where they're like, all right, they have a, you've probably seen this, Clayton. They have like a command center. It's like a red zone. Like, we're going to go down to Fort Lauderdale, but it's clearly not live. It can't be. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:03 But if it's streaming, maybe. And I have one more gummy thought. He says, couldn't the city of Dallas right now solve so many revenues? new problems by offering something called Police Plus where you can tune in at any time to the hottest body cams in the city
Starting point is 01:19:23 live. Can I tune into any body cam at any time? There's going to have to be some level of what they're driving around time. Curation process. What if you came to them and said you're going to make 20 grand more a year? Because we're going to be making points on Police Plus.
Starting point is 01:19:42 Like half the time what if they're not? doing anything. Well, I think you'd obviously have to have like a Scott Harrison. Or what's his name? Scott Hanson. You'd have to have a guy who was actually, I'd go down to five points. Let's go to Lewisville. They're supposedly busting another prostitution.
Starting point is 01:19:56 Yeah, it's just like the thing we talked about before when that one guy who worked for like AT&T had hacked a bunch of home cameras and was watching people have sex. And he'd created like a command center. It's like the red zone. Yeah. Another gun we thought from Kyle. anyone that has had a little weight gain knows the mirror fallacy. When you look in the mirror and you think, hey, I look pretty good.
Starting point is 01:20:19 And then you see a picture of yourself and you're like, oh, man, I look that big. So my gummy thought is, do you think that it works the same with the pain? Maybe the thought of seeing your small weener in the mirror is actually your mind playing tricks on you and you're actually carrying around a big old blue ribbon hog down there. I'm going to go pull a Bud Dwyer now. from Kyle. Oh. Well, it sounds like he's saying the only way to know is to photograph it.
Starting point is 01:20:48 Right, because we're comparing to a picture. What was his name? I'm sure you have a hog, Kyle. Kyle, you should take a picture of it and post it on the internet. And everyone will tell you if it's big or not. Hot or not. Okay, this is kind of long, but it's from, we're going to use a fake name. It's about the winner.
Starting point is 01:21:04 Ben. This is 23 and me and ancestry.com related. Did you have this one? I don't know. Go ahead. wife bought me a DNA kid as a Christmas present told his wife over the years that his maternal grandmother claimed that he came from a few different Native American tribes
Starting point is 01:21:23 and that I was a descendant of Benjamin Rush. He was a lesser-known founding father that seemed somewhat plausible to me. I never questioned it. Put off taking the test for several weeks, finally took it, waited a couple of minutes to get my results. So apparently the way these things work is, the ancestry portion of it,
Starting point is 01:21:40 like where you're from, can be very skewed. As he said, they heavily skewed towards European regions because even though they might have a large sample size, the participants are overly represented by white people. That's a great point. So the where are you from thing might be off. What is not off is DNA matching you to other people. Yeah. He says the actual DNA matching with other users is really accurate. That's where the twist comes in.
Starting point is 01:22:05 I saw several people with 20% or more DNA in common suggestions of being a half sibling or a niece or nephew. I thought that seems odd. Even though some people feel like the ethnicity portion might sometimes be hit or miss, the DNA matches are spot on because they are direct comparisons to other people in the system who took tests since the platform's inception, not just a guess of where people immigrated from. I looked up one of the names on social media. It belonged to a guy close to me in age. He currently lives in the state I was born.
Starting point is 01:22:37 I assume my dad had slept around and had affairs, which yielded children either did not know about or assume were not his. Then when I recalled, I recall when I was younger, both my parents told me they had used IVF. As far as I knew, though, it was their egg and sperm. Out of morbid curiosity, I used the messaging feature in ancestry, sent messages to the supposed half-siblings. One person messaged me back, told me that we all came from the same anonymous sperm donor. There's a whole Facebook group of these people who have found each other over the years because of these testing companies. my mom died when I was 17
Starting point is 01:23:14 neither her or my living dad have ever said I have a biological father that is different so there's like 30 people in this Facebook group the idea crossed my mind once because the height difference with my dad or this person
Starting point is 01:23:28 his dad didn't know they thought it was there his dad still doesn't know we know his dad is alive but his dad thinks it was his sperm and all that okay or he knows and the dad just hasn't told the kid All right.
Starting point is 01:23:42 But the kid, he said he has a height difference from his dad, but that he's on this Facebook group now where there's, like, 30 people in here that this person fathered. Just from that one donor. Yeah. So they're all siblings. Yeah. That's wild.
Starting point is 01:24:05 Like, what do you do? He said he wasn't this like... I'm afraid of doing 23 and me. You should. Well, and I'm like, I don't know. I'm afraid. Like the government having your... I'm afraid of that too.
Starting point is 01:24:15 Like, I'm a good friend of yours, I think, but I would never, I don't know. I've never asked you, like, deep-cutting, not-recorded questions about, like, finding your biological father. So, I mean, there's got to be a reason to or not to do it. But if you do this, you're going to... It's going to be a lot harder to not do it if this,
Starting point is 01:24:35 if you were to do this. Like, they're going to be giving you so much information. The thing is, someone else can be calling me. No doubt, dude. No doubt. But I was pretty good about a couple of things. Condoms and passing out of houses without driving. I drank too much and I had sex with way too many threes.
Starting point is 01:24:55 But I typically... What an admission. I typically slept where I went and I wore a condom. So now my dad, getting crabs down in Padre in 1977 or something. You know, I don't know. You can get crabs with a condom. Dan would like to weigh in with some... I've heard.
Starting point is 01:25:19 You're going to do a break. He'll tell me when this topic's over. Yeah, we're pretty much there. Oh, someone out here. I don't know if he's still here. A guy who was in the den for a sit-in. You may remember him. He was with his brother,
Starting point is 01:25:35 and it was the day they drank all the Lone Star beer. I was like, whoa, just you, like, we had never gone through so much Lone Star beer. Aren't they lawyers? A lawyer ad duck? Yeah. Okay. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:25:46 Anyway, he just said he had never given a, he didn't bring a gift, and so he brought this for me. Nice. Which is the only way you should park. Back in parking only sign. That's right. Real tough guy. Dan holds stuff. Stop.
Starting point is 01:26:00 It was better when you didn't know about it. Why? I'm embracing it. I want to hold more things. That's good stuff. Oh, I got one more. It's from a lady. Ooh, if a lady.
Starting point is 01:26:16 who says, greetings, beautiful men, long-time subscriber, first-time emailer, my uncle Bill, this is about Tourette's. Oh, yeah. Was deep in the suck during World War II, including barely surviving Ardennes, Battle of the Bulge, see Episode 6 of Band of Brothers. That followed the medic, played by Rami Malik. Was on the show.
Starting point is 01:26:44 I know. I went back and watched it after Mr. Robot, just because of that. He returned with what the family always referred to as Parkinson's, but I later learned on a not-so-special episode of LA law, it was actually Tourette's. Uncle Bill had only one tick, maybe once or twice an hour, and it was normal to us, but whenever a new childhood friend was going to join one of our family get-togethers, I would have to pull her aside beforehand and give a very serious speech and say my Uncle Bill was in World War II and he caught Parkinson's at the Battle of the Bulls.
Starting point is 01:27:14 So every now and again, he's going to grab his crotch, spit, and yell, Uh, F-U-C-K-A, uh, just pretend like nothing happened. Okay. And that's exactly what he, uh, what we did. Um, he taught me out of gutta fish and play P-Nuckle at the same time. Um, and then L. P-S. Is it too late for Minaj stories? I have a few.
Starting point is 01:27:40 Wow. Which just tells me with Sarah and with these other people and we got throuples are listening. and inviting us into their home. Dude, you don't even barely have sex. I'm just what I'm going to say. I thought, like, I'm this deviant... No, you barely even have sex. Like, I don't know what's all the cool stuff that's going on out there.
Starting point is 01:28:00 No. I think it's cool to back in park. Getting sex-mogged. I am getting sex-mogged. All right, you guys want to take a break and enjoy some Conne Roso pizza? Indeed. What if, uh... So, Lee.
Starting point is 01:28:15 Oh, well, Kanye Roso is... the mothership. But yes, we're at Zollies. But before we go to break, just a quick hit for Frankl and Frankel, personal injury attorneys. Yeah, if you wreck on the way out of here, too full. Young Jake might have needed them. Had he not been a guy that just at least, he was a dirty, sloppy drunk, but he knew
Starting point is 01:28:35 I'm not going to drive. Right. But some people out there are drinking and driving, and then they get an accident. And if you maybe were run over by one of those people. or you have a personal injury and you need to fight that. You need to get what is yours. Don't do it alone. Frankel and Frankel.
Starting point is 01:28:53 At Julie, any idea of the phone number? Punch threes. I mean, it's so easy. What are you? She has Tourette's? Three, three. No, it's 214 and then 817, all threes. Here, throw a headset on that nice piece who just walked.
Starting point is 01:29:09 No. She has a name. What do you mean, though? No. Okay, I'm sorry. I thought you were attractive. Oh, he's trying to compliment your friend here. It's like, I'm the nice.
Starting point is 01:29:17 I'm the nice piece at this table. Listen, I'll take anything I can get at this point. It's Emily Jones from baseball, everybody. From baseball. I don't know. Surprise guess. Julie told me to do this. I frowned upon it.
Starting point is 01:29:30 You didn't want to join us. No, I did, but I said I don't know if the boys will necessarily appreciate a surprise, like, bomb like this. Well, we do. All Emily. We want more, Emily. More, okay. Yeah. Well, thanks for that.
Starting point is 01:29:42 And we're, like, in her neighborhood, basically. We see you every Tuesday. You're at the, at Fox 4. am outside the game day men's health studio walking back and forth yep shaking my ass yeah and then you never join us you never walk in i know i don't want to interrupt the broadcasting greatness she's got places to go i think she knows she's got functions no if she starts just popping in on us that we'll have the ability to do that to their show and she's like no this is sacred i'd love it sacred ground here i'd love nothing more than for you guys to pop on the mom game interrupt uh
Starting point is 01:30:14 make them uncomfortable for once yeah She just did something, though, that I think is happening. You reflexively were like, oh, Dan's a creep. But I think women, as they age, are more like, you know, it's fine. It's like, I saw a lady. I told Dan this. We went to the Cowboys Broncos game. There was a lady.
Starting point is 01:30:31 She was attractive, but it wasn't even that. Her hair, she clearly had put so much time into it that morning. And like, I really wanted to sit. She had like a five-year-old and a seven-year-old. She looked fucking miserable. And I was just wondering. But her hair was great. I wanted to tell her, like, that looks really good.
Starting point is 01:30:46 I think that's okay. You should. Can I put something in there? No, that is not okay. Oh. Yeah. It's the line. I thought I was just going with what Jake was going to say.
Starting point is 01:30:55 Yeah, and I did tee you up for that. It's the proverbial line. No, but Dan likes to come, like just long jump over. You say that now. You say I should have said something. But when he said, you're front here, oh, nice peace. Well, wait, because it's just a creepy way to intro somebody as she's literally walking up and you're just talking out or walking.
Starting point is 01:31:11 It didn't bother me at all. No. You're good. Like, light it in. Like, just I don't. She's worked in majorly clubhouses for years. There are things you could say that would offend me. Calling me a nice piece is actually really low on the list.
Starting point is 01:31:25 Yeah. Yeah, but she wasn't there when the, when Rugneddnad got hazed. That was in a different locker room. That was. No. But Rugned that hazed Rugned. There was, but those were different times. When I first started, it's a very different time than when I first started.
Starting point is 01:31:41 Not as many shenanigans. A lot more animal house back there. There was so many shenanigans. Yeah. There's not as much like real just access. It's just different, yeah. Back in the early 2000s, you could just walk in. The guys are all just sitting around.
Starting point is 01:31:55 You can just walk right up to Roger Clemens. Hey man, do you have a minute? Like we'd walk right up to Paul and whatever. They're just sitting around. And now it's like they'll go hide in the training room or where. The time when the clubhouse is open to the media, they disperse pretty good. That's why you have to be a nice piece to get any access. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:15 Absolutely. I relied on being a nice piece very heavily. No, I didn't. But no, that's ridiculous. And also, too, it's your clubhouse hot is the same as like prison hot. Go on. Well, I mean, think about it. It's what's there.
Starting point is 01:32:29 Yeah. Like the press box hot. Yes, there's one or two chicks in there. It's like we have nothing else to look at except for a bunch of dudes with weaners. And so we're going to, we'll focus our attention on this piece, whether she's hot or not. Boy, how far Julie has come where she's now like acknowledging, Press Box Hot's a thing. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:47 I've come a long way. But back in the old days, it's like, I was just getting my career going. I didn't know what to think of you. Press Box hot. I was offended, but I'm not anymore. Yeah, it takes a lot more to offend. Well, it was still the only time I've ever seen Dan legitimately embarrassed.
Starting point is 01:33:05 So that counted for something. You and I will always have that. We will. So you guys searched. We've got them. We've got them. Between me, her, and her husband just going through, like, CSI, dates of shows,
Starting point is 01:33:17 and listening back to dates. I kind of remember the first day cross-referencing with her work schedule. Remember when she first accused me of being that person? Yeah. And, uh, yeah. You denied it.
Starting point is 01:33:29 Denied it vehemently, I'm sure. Yes. But you knew the whole time, didn't you? Huh? You were just like she'll never prove this. I actually didn't know. You didn't? No, I, he,
Starting point is 01:33:37 him saying he forget something is legit. That's true. That's very true. Like, his memory is. Even back then? Oh, yeah. Except book club on what night? It's next Thursday.
Starting point is 01:33:47 I know exactly when. All right, let's take a break and then we'll eat pizza and stuff. The dunza. Remember how fun Zook was for like two weeks? Zuccarello? We were there. Zuccarelli? He was a little spitfire, a little blast of energy.
Starting point is 01:34:03 Bad radio was there to watch him dominate for 10 minutes. We're like, man, this guy kicks ass. And he's just out for, I don't know, the next month. That was fun. Oh, that was sad. That was forever ago, bro. Remember when we had sports? Zin bin.
Starting point is 01:34:24 Mark that. There's some new drops. New drops, the Zin bin one might have worked there. I know. We got some new Conrad drops. We can go over those if you want. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. We could also edit that audio if I want.
Starting point is 01:34:45 Maybe preview it once in a while. I wouldn't get to say anything, but I like that we have a guy who will call his own foul. LeBron puts his hand up too every now and then. So with the inventor of the Zen Bin and her partner in crime over here next to us. Yeah. Julie and Emily, you may know them from the mom game. And if you know one thing about the mom game, they like to do a little drinking. We do.
Starting point is 01:35:16 A little drinking on the air. That's right. We have something for you. Mm-hmm. It is called Cheers. Okay. What exactly is Cheers, Jake? Cheers is basically a hangover cure.
Starting point is 01:35:33 This is something you drink before your last drink when you go to bed. These things work, too. Here we go. I can tell you. Let's try it. Get me a drink and give me some cheers. Yeah, it's like putting a condom on your liver. What?
Starting point is 01:35:46 Is that what it says? Yeah. It's protecting your insides from the harmful. I already have one of those. That's what it does. It helps you feel better before you go to bed, drink it. Feel good in the morning. Backed by doctors.
Starting point is 01:36:02 So many with coats. PhDs and over 1,000 verified clinicians. Are you a clinician? Me? Definitely not. Well, there you go. Yeah. How do you get, besides being Emily?
Starting point is 01:36:17 How do people get some cheers to themselves? Cheershealth.com and use promo code DumbZone, get you 20% off after your purchase. They're going to ask you how you hear about it. Don't say the mom game. No, no, no, no. They're just the ones that need it. Please support our show. Tell them you heard about it on the Dumb Zone.
Starting point is 01:36:33 And I'm going to hand this to you, Emily. Yeah. Thank you. This is kind of like a, you've done this all the time. You might have done this this afternoon. You write your phone number on the thing you hand the waitress or something. Yeah, that's what I do. it every time I go to a restaurant.
Starting point is 01:36:48 This cheers was mailed to me, so I'm given Emily my address. Oh, hey. I know. I've been to your house. I've been to that creepy din you got. Remember? I tried to.
Starting point is 01:37:00 He like lured me up there. It was supposed to be a show and it was just the two of us. We're doing a stream. We're serious. You know, I think we... It's a game stream. We wear that mask. I think I would watch the
Starting point is 01:37:14 wife swap episode. of Emily and Dan. Oh, wow. That would be something. Because that's what they always do. They always get somebody that's like really this. Oh, what is this? Well, I feel like you just called the den kind of gross.
Starting point is 01:37:31 Creepy. Yeah, creepy. So on the beholder's eye, right? Yeah. I just think, like, she would walk in and, like, they played the sound like, well, she's like frowning. It would just be great. It would be awesome.
Starting point is 01:37:43 She helped you buy clothes one time. People forget that. I did. She did. Now she won't admit to that usually now, just because I'm probably at that same level. Whatever level of fashion she brought me to. You were wearing black shoes and black socks. Is that still happening?
Starting point is 01:38:01 His shoe sock combo. I don't know. At least they're better. They're not like orthopedic sketchers or something. It's much better for a while. He was wearing like turquoise, teal, yellow neon shoes. Yeah. And then we'd just wear like a purple shirt.
Starting point is 01:38:17 Yeah. I'm like, we got a... We got him in some good jeans. A little bit. So, you know, that was a semi-gummy thought of mine is that, you know, I went through COVID. That was a very, very bad time. We all did. You're a hero.
Starting point is 01:38:34 We all did. Congratulations. No, but I mean, I got COVID and it was the worst I was ever... Okay. He got like long COVID. The worst sickness I ever had. And so I will get vaccines. Like, tell me right now it's time for a vaccine.
Starting point is 01:38:46 Let's go. I want every booster, whatever. Sheaf. Fouchy boy. Such a shape. I think all these vaccines are making me more autistic. I shouldn't laugh, but I did. You shouldn't have.
Starting point is 01:39:02 We might get flagged for that. I mean, I don't even have an autistic child, and I didn't laugh at that, Julie. No, because you guys have said her. Every time to jam me, I'm counting another card. My daughters say that that's what I, am or whatever. And your daughters say that that's what you are.
Starting point is 01:39:22 Yeah, now I'm to the point, though, where I am recognizing my fashion problems. I'm not taking any steps to change it, but I will still wear, you know, a brown shirt, but then I'm wearing, I wore my black shoes today. Oh, I should have wore my brown shoes, you know, like I'll realize it later when I'm out in the wild. Like, this looks really bad. So I think that's progress. What the last time you wear a collared shirt?
Starting point is 01:39:47 Court. When they sued us, yeah. Boy, it probably was. It is. I see you every day. Mix one in, everyone's mom just to see what it look like. Like, should I get the Waterburger polo? For sure.
Starting point is 01:40:02 It's a sponsor polo. There's something about a polo just kind of spices things up a little bit. I have one quick sports story. Speaking of spicing things up a little bit, Pooka Naku is in trouble. Or is he? I heard a little bit about this. We don't know. but he's back involved in TMZ, which is not good.
Starting point is 01:40:23 And this is from a woman that claims that he bidder. And while they were out, he also was ranting about Jewish people as a little bit of a floater on the story. Did you see the bite mark? Yeah, it's perfect. Yeah, it looked like it was that you were at a dentist office and they wanted you to make an impression. Like, it's a perfectly round, like, are you... Well, I mean, he's an alpha. He's a physical specimen.
Starting point is 01:40:52 Like, wasn't like the Mar-V-Albert bite marks were kind of like... Yeah, well, Mar-V-Albert looks like a ghoul. Maybe Pukin-Ku has got a butt to your point. I don't know. He denies it. When did this allegedly happen? Let's see.
Starting point is 01:41:07 It was New Year's Eve. Yeah. Okay. Right at midnight. Three months later, here we go. Like, we haven't heard anything about this. We're victim blaming. No, I'm just wondering why we haven't heard anything about this in the last three months.
Starting point is 01:41:23 Emily, who has apparently joined Puka's defense team, his lawyer said, kind of funny, the Jackson Smith and Jigba historic contract came out yesterday, and then we get this, like he's trying to play the full gold digger card. It just seems like in this day and age where literally someone's rolling on everything, how did this not get out? Right. There's a video of them, and the video apparently is from after he bit her. But in the video, he's passed out, like barely awake, and she's torquing on his face. Oh.
Starting point is 01:41:59 Like, she's clothed and everything, but they're at the bar, and he's just a full weekend at Bernie's, just slumped over, passed out, and she's, like, shaking it on him. And they're like, yeah, this is after. Like that night? So she didn't see if that bothered. Yeah, I bet I can, here, look. Look at Puka Nakuwa, dude. They're on a, they're on like a party bus, right? And he's, oh my God.
Starting point is 01:42:24 He's just full. Like Jake after ate that pizza. Yeah. They're filming him. How come everybody gets torched on when they're passed out but me? I know, dude. I'm team puka on this one. What's with these at clubs?
Starting point is 01:42:38 Have you guys seen this? No. Okay. I haven't been to club. Clubs where, like, actual club clubs. clubs now where they have sparklers and bottle service. It's signs. Have you seen this?
Starting point is 01:42:48 Really? It's for the gram, right? It's people walking around with like a marquee and it'll have a girl's name and her birth like it's Missy's birthday tonight. It'll be like a cocktail waitress with a sign that's on fire. It's for the gram. They're doing that so they can post it. It's really weird.
Starting point is 01:43:04 These are all over this club, dude. It doesn't make any sense. I can't think of anything worse, to be quite honest, than to go to a club and somebody have a marquee with my name on it and some sparklers. Awful. I remember back in the day when it was just bottle service. And that was like the cool thing to have. A table with bottle service.
Starting point is 01:43:23 It was a red velvet robe. Or some guy would come up and be like, I have bottle service. It's sweet. Want to join me? And you're like, oh, we can't say no to that. You can pay $500 for a bottle of $70. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:35 They just accept it. An honorable woman would say no. To what? I will not take your bottle service because I have no intention of... Julie's like, I can't say no to that. Former Julie would never say no. Oh, yeah. I mean, we lived for like trying to get free drinks.
Starting point is 01:43:53 When I was like 25 and poor. That's how we ended up with Trump. I wouldn't now, though. No, I'm a dignified woman. Yeah. Today's news is going to be brought to us by Lola Blankets. Oh, wow. Lola Blankets.

Starting point is 01:45:42 You're like, I know where I heard about it. about them. I just typed in Dumb Zone. Yeah. Yeah, wrap yourself in luxury with Lola Blankets. You know the song Lola? Her name was Lola. That's a different one.
Starting point is 01:46:02 She was a show girl. Yeah. What's the other one? I'm thinking of Clapton, right? That's Laila. Layla, okay. No, there's a Lola too. There's another Lola, isn't there?
Starting point is 01:46:13 Bonnie, the one they made. They made her a lesbian. That's the one thing in a movie, though. I just wanted to see if this guy knew and he doesn't. He was thinking of what that Julie was saying. No, the Lola. Not the, uh-huh, huh, huh. Wait, what were you thinking of?
Starting point is 01:46:31 That's very Manila. Her name was Lola. Yes, but it starts out with her name was Lola. Yes. Oh. Geez, don't yell at me. I'm right. You guys settled this?
Starting point is 01:46:43 I know the Lola song. You're good? Good? Nope. I guess. I would say sad news, not sad news, but it's news out of Salina as their athletic director. News, news. And football coach, Coach Elliott, has surrendered his teaching certificate.
Starting point is 01:47:02 He is done. The legend hangs him up. What a disaster that thing is. What a disaster that thing is. I haven't followed it terribly closely, but it sounds like a giant disaster. Yeah. Maybe a little bit of, you know, daddy trying to protect a little too much and maybe should have distanced a little bit when your son is as effed up as he is.
Starting point is 01:47:24 Classic case, though. Yeah. When do you pull the plug? Like, if you ever seen a movie, when I was in rehab, we had to watch movies. It's kind of like at school where they're just going to give up someday. Did you get to watch Scarface? Yeah. Or other cool drug movies?
Starting point is 01:47:39 Dude, no lie. And I think I told you guys this after I got home. One of the funniest most awkward situations I've been in was when Pulp Fiction came on in the cafeteria. Stop. And there are people like, you can tell, tweaking out. Like, they're getting a big bag of blowout. There's people like stop and walk. They're really doing, day 28, doing awesome.
Starting point is 01:48:00 Why would they play that movie? And, dude, it's creepy. That is weird. Did you see the update to this story? No. When reach for comment, the Texas Education Agency clarified that Bill Elliott's certification was revoked by the agency and not surrendered. He tried to get in part of it and say, no, no, no, no. He is not eligible for reapplication and has also been placed on the Do Not Hire Registry.
Starting point is 01:48:26 Wow. But he wanted to be like, no, no, no, no, I give up. I give up. You know, you credit him for trying. It's not going to work unless you try. I'm going to retire. Did he announce his retirement? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:38 I'm going to retire. Maybe I get a little party when I leave. Right. Yeah, because the thing I saw this morning was like, he surrendered his certificate and can get it back if he, after one year, if he passes a test. I was like, well, is the test do or don't protect my pedophile son? Because that's the one he failed, so I don't think that.
Starting point is 01:48:58 Well, I thought the pedophile son is the one who got his teacher thing revoked. No. It's the dad, right? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay. He's out. Oh.
Starting point is 01:49:06 No, we weren't debating letting the son back in. Oh, okay. He's well. How old is the kid? Not a kid. He's like mid-20s. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:49:18 But the thing I was going to say is the movie we watched at The Hab was Beautiful Boy. If you've ever heard the book. I've heard of that. I've heard of it. I don't remember it. It'll mess you up. It's true story. By Jeffrey.
Starting point is 01:49:29 No, it's Steve Carell plays a Rolling Stone writer who tried to get to know his son through his addiction. And his son just. What are they doing to you guys in rehab? Trying to let you know how bad you're messing everybody in your life's life up. Okay. Because, you know, his dad. So that was a good one, not so much Pulp Fiction. No, that was, Pulp Fiction was just the funny thing if we just had cable on.
Starting point is 01:49:51 So, like, any movie could be on. Oh, okay. Now, in the morning, he was on the worship channel. Okay. Your 4 a.m. people were starting the day with prayer. Okay. But by noon, when McAfee was over. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:04 We were on to whatever. All bets are off. Yeah. Is this like a community television? Yeah. Did you guys like argue over what to watch? I did not argue with anyone about anything the entire time I was there. A lot of people argued the whole time.
Starting point is 01:50:19 Oh man. And they would passive aggressively change the, and everybody there's, you know, they're not thrilled. Right. Yeah. It's not, you know. It's only one TV. One TV, yeah. And people would passive aggressively change it, change music, play, move a radio over somewhere just to piss somebody on.
Starting point is 01:50:37 It's just like the real world. Yeah. Seriously, it's exactly like that. A bunch of junkies. I'll tell you what. Whoever let Pulp Fiction on in your rehab facility gets donkey of the day. Donkey of the day. Blake, where's Kumbi?
Starting point is 01:50:56 And who's their mascot? I don't know. Looks like it's out east. Let's see Greenville. We'll go near Greenville. Oh, we've been there. Well, police busted a German Shepherd breeding ring. 90 dogs.
Starting point is 01:51:15 Holy see. What does that mean? Why can't they breed German shepherds? Well, I guess it's just you've got to do it in a way that's licensed, which probably means not having 90 of them there. Dude, we went to like a... This is a full off the books operation. We were at a many years ago, like was it white settlement or Azel?
Starting point is 01:51:31 Somewhere over there, like a puppy farm thing. It was terrible. It was very sad. because we were looking for a small soft dog. That's when we discovered the toy poodle. But before getting to the toy poodle, we were at some place where just, oh, my God. So it was like a legit, though? I don't know how, I mean, they were legit in the sense that they did breed lots of dogs,
Starting point is 01:51:54 but it was just some, you know, old country piece of land, many acres, and there was just a ton of dog. It's just not a lot of cleanliness. Yeah. And it didn't make us want one of those dogs. That's curious to me because when you're buying a dog for thousands of dollars, I would think when you show up, they want to have it looking as... These were not thousands of dollars. We were not... Oh, okay. Well, I think would you buy... These dogs were.
Starting point is 01:52:20 Oh, okay. No. We were in the... We were just looking for a dog. We were not in that area. I don't know. I don't know what the... I would think the thousand dollars dogs are in a nice, clean place. Yeah, you got to have the papers. But these dogs were not doing well. Do you think if it was a cuter breed of dog, they would have been arrested? Sooner? If you show up and there's 90 Labradoodles, are you getting mad? It's a good point.
Starting point is 01:52:45 Just the fact that it's German Shepherds and people are afraid of them. We had a German Shepherd growing up that I loved. It was a reject. I don't know this for sure, but my stepdad got it from the police department somehow. I don't know. In my mind, it was like a flunky cop dog. Maybe he just retired. Yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 01:53:04 They had a party for him. Yeah. on the news. He signed off for the last time. Have you seen those videos? No. Oh, yeah. What are we saying?
Starting point is 01:53:11 Signing off for the last time. The dog? Yeah. Tears. I'm sorry, what? Listen. The dog is tears? The dog cops when they retire.
Starting point is 01:53:19 No. No, the handler, whatever, starts, it's emotional and they're signing off for the last time. K-9, rough, rough. I don't know. Yeah. And listen, when you're going through, like, whatever I'm going through, hormonally.
Starting point is 01:53:36 Can I just say something real quick? Yeah. So now you're crying too. Oh, bawling. I didn't know what she meant. I tried the dumbest shit. Emily, if you're not here in person, goes, when you're going through what I'm going through,
Starting point is 01:53:47 and her hands kind of went in and down. Where's my book? Where's my book? She's been reading. Isn't it awesome? Is she talking about menopause? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:01 It's happening everywhere. All the things. It's happening everywhere. It's happening everywhere. Yeah. Yeah, I cry at the dumbest shit you've ever. I mean, so I'm embarrassed. I've always been that way, though.
Starting point is 01:54:13 And I've always just an outsider always thought of you as like a tough person. Right. I pride myself in being a giant bitch. Yeah. It's a great point of pride for me. I consider myself a very kind human, but I am a giant bitch. Be good at what you're good at. And so I'm like, and then I just turn into this like puddle of just sap.
Starting point is 01:54:33 And I'm like, I'm watching a stupid Instagram real. What am I doing? Just get on testosterone. Turn it off. I am. It's not helping. It's a lot. It takes over your whole body.
Starting point is 01:54:45 It does. Men, just bear with your wives. Y'all don't even understand. If she's anywhere close to my age. You all don't even understand. Just bear with her. The things we're dealing with. All of a sudden, they have nothing to say.
Starting point is 01:54:58 We know all about it because we hear all about it. I'm sure. I'm sure you do. we're bringing them into our world yeah you know i think uh maybe i'm on the my wife doesn't complain about being old too much yet she's 38 yeah because she's not that's why so but you guys are not that you're not that well give her a decade my medical situation is different though yeah it's a weird deal yeah cancer it puts my i'm more like her age real life oh okay well you just talked about menopause she doesn't she does this every opportunity she gets
Starting point is 01:55:31 to remind me how she's eight years younger than I am. That's how she is. No, I was just saying, you were just talking about menopause. I know, I'm just kidding. So, earlier she was telling us how she didn't have any. Earlier, she's like, oh, I don't even have any cavities. Like, she just brags about everything about her life. You know.
Starting point is 01:55:46 I know. You know me. The ranch. Just always bragging. Bragging at the ranch. The ranch is a big player. Is this like dunk on Julie day? No, we were talking about how Jake will brush his teeth.
Starting point is 01:56:01 and not rinse the toothpaste and everything out of his mouth. He'll just go on with his day. You swallow it? And so then we got into cavity talk because I do, I always rinse. That's disgusting to me. You have to rinse and then spit back out. And so that's why I said, I've never had a cavity. DFW-based flight attendant has been reported missing in Medellin.
Starting point is 01:56:23 So we've got a dude, I think it looks like he's in like 32, that an overnight layover at Medelline. This just makes me think of the life of the flight of TV. It's not horrible, but it is. Like what country? You want to guess? I don't, Mexico. South.
Starting point is 01:56:42 It's definitely south of you. Columbia. Oh, okay. Columbia housed the Medellin cartel, which was Pablo Escobar. I'm familiar with Pablo. Yeah. So that's like how Medellin was built. Wasn't it Vinny Entourage?
Starting point is 01:56:58 Made the movie? Yeah. Yeah. but flight attendant I remember when I first learned about like the flight attendant crash house Oh my God Is this like the White House for the car?
Starting point is 01:57:10 That excited me so much when I learned They find like a flight Is anybody here done that by any chance? Okay, it's like a flop house where like you get into a network of other flight attendants And you just crash at Like there's a place in grapevine right now Several. Several in grapevine
Starting point is 01:57:25 Where flight attendants Like it's just rented So they're not doing anything nefarious in there. No, no. They're just in there immediately. We don't know. I mean, I immediately go to like they're soaking and stuff. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:57:39 With the pilot hat on. Oh, yeah. But, no, they just have very hectic lives. And they, you know, you're staying here, you're staying there. I feel like I had missed out by never dating a flight attendant because they seem nuts. Oh, I think by and large. It feels like a nuts profession. Like you're attracting.
Starting point is 01:57:58 and people who are without even know it, kind of running from something. Well, yeah, they're like escaping life. I like that. And staying in random crash houses throughout the country. Crash house. Yeah. I guess I've ever heard of that.
Starting point is 01:58:12 Okay. I feel like we could all use a crash house, though, every once in a while. Just take a little break. What do you mean? I don't know. Just like turn off your phone and go in my age. That's what I wanted.
Starting point is 01:58:22 I'm just working. I heard. When we're here at the ticket, I wanted a White House. I'm working. I wanted one of those apartments next door to be our White House, not for doing cocaine and banging, just for going to play PS3 or...
Starting point is 01:58:34 Right. Escaping. Yeah. You can play PS3. Can you pass me that Coke? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. North Park Mall closed down in full yesterday.
Starting point is 01:58:49 They had to evacuate the whole thing. I'm sure that was a calm scene. Really? Really? Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah. 1230 and then.
Starting point is 01:58:56 Even forever 21? Is that place still open? Oh, yes. Is that? Yeah, Spencer. I've recently did a mall review. Really? Yeah, it was great.

Starting point is 01:59:27 was mixed up in Epstein. Oh, really? No, that was forever 16. Forever 12. Forever not a woman. Forever not a woman. There was one more story I wanted to do before we got out of here. I can't wait.
Starting point is 01:59:44 But now I can't find it. That's unfortunate. All right. I'm a bitch. I don't think... Emily didn't mean any of those. I had something. Emily likes to print things.
Starting point is 01:59:54 I do. She prints our scripts. I do. I print our rundowns. Dan prints. Jake doesn't. Jake called Dan Fred Flintstone for using a printer. Oh, this was a story.
Starting point is 02:00:03 I don't know if you guys didn't. Just call me Barney Rubble then. When we were gone. Or Wilma. The Text. Dot text scams. Are you aware of these? No. So the text scam is obviously much more common now.
Starting point is 02:00:17 But the text from text stock that makes it look like you have an outstanding balance. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's apparently very popular right now to scare people into, you know, paying it, giving away. I never click on any of those ever, but I sold some tickets to a concert the other day, and they sent me the deal in text. And now I knew that I had sold them, so them texting me wasn't curious to it,
Starting point is 02:00:42 but I didn't click it. You were even shared to that. There's no way. I'm not clicking any link via text message on my phone at all. I did one today on my email that was a punch, have you heard of Punch Bowl? A Punch Bowl invitation? Uh-oh.
Starting point is 02:00:58 Oh, no. Uh-oh. She got caught in the web. Well, she has already gotten caught by mine. Five degrees. I stopped. Gosh, y'all got scared to the show. Oh, no, no.
Starting point is 02:01:09 She's going to blow. There's a whole story. Big part of our show. We talked about it, too. Emily fell for my birthday party. It was Julie. It was Julie that started it. It was ground zero for all of us.
Starting point is 02:01:20 Yes. You're the gift giver. She got me, and so I went, like, I want to go to Julie's party. Of course. Everyone wants to come to my party. Who wouldn't want to go? But I haven't had, there's been no fallout. It just happened today.
Starting point is 02:01:31 So was another one? No, I clicked on it once. It wasn't from you. It was from some other, actually, it was from another Julie. Uh-oh. It must be a Julie, Julie crime. Yeah. No, but then people started getting invitations from me.
Starting point is 02:01:44 Yes. And people I know are texting me like, dude, you're not having a party, right? No. It's no way you're having it. You know, remember Sarah Melston? Just had a big party. Sarah Melton from the Mavs. Sure.
Starting point is 02:01:54 She was like pissed. And I was like, it's not a party. fault. She was like, oh my gosh, now I'm having to deal with all this. Not pissed at you, but she was just pissed. She's like, this is ridiculous. She's still pissed. She's sending out you and putting it on her Instagram. Women hold things for a long time. It tells you who would click yes to going to your party so you can like pre-screen if you are planning to have a party Sunday. You know who texted me yesterday? Mary Hitzkis, she was like, did we miss your birthday party? What a sweetheart.
Starting point is 02:02:25 Jesus. I mean, this is still, like, the fallout is still happening. That's hilarious. I know. But also not great. All right, Dan. I got to go soon. You guys will be anything else for me?

I'm sorry, your kid's not beautiful. I mean, if you call someone else's kid a beautiful kid, now... You're in Pito Quicksand over there. No, I'm in a stuck place.
Starting point is 02:04:59 If I say, no, I didn't mean that. Oh, you think my kid is not... So he's looking over at me like I'm going to help him. I'm not. I saw Terran's young daughter. Cool, man. And I have no opinion on any... I'm going to be over here.

Oh, but you'll do that. What does that mean? Oh, that's great. Birthday shout out to my son Graham on his 17th birthday.
Starting point is 02:05:47 I'm sure he woke himself up in that special way. Just take initiative. Here's a few comments about the show I've been saving up. Aggravated usually means that you use a weapon to commit the crime. Asian fans do love fish tanks. Or wait, Asians do love for what? Gummy thought if singular mice's mouse is singular rice rouse. That is a gummy thought.
Starting point is 02:06:16 Rouse. I've never smoked a cigarette with Jake, but I have pruned the trees at his house. Nice. And I don't rinse after I brush. That's from Brian. Nice. I remember meeting Brian. Hello, Coochie Commander.
Starting point is 02:06:30 My brother Hunter is turning a dirty 30 on Thursday. He is a football coach, not the naked jumping jack kind. Got to clarify. Shriving to be a girl dad as good as you one day. His leader is Blake's tender lovemaking session in Angelo's storage unit from Cooper. It's kind of, it's a coaching tree. It's like you've got Walsh guys, you got Parcell's guys, and you've got naked jumping jack guys.
Starting point is 02:06:53 The Elliott tree. Right. Depends on how you were brought up. Greetings, Meister of the muff. I'd like to wish D.F. Gamby, a happy Dirk birthday. His leaders are the roast. twins, the cuck chair Angelo had picked out for Blake to watch him and Grayson. And Jake's excessive need to tell everyone he's an alcoholic and an atheist.
Starting point is 02:07:13 What's wrong with you, Jake? Why do you have to tell everybody? Excessive need. For his birthday, he'd like to hear an ad for orthopedics associates from the better part of Bob. Same. Let's see. I need him on call. Orthopedics.
Starting point is 02:07:32 I guess I can't find that there. Why can't I find that? You know, people ask for a lot of things. to be played and we don't play them. I just thought Julie would like to hear it. She's heard it. Me, me, me. Where am I?
Starting point is 02:07:47 Hello, Googler of brackets and girls with braces. I just want to finally answer for Lee Corso. Yes, most of the people here do know you. Since I got that off my chest, I want to wish my friend and former ticket promo guy, Jake Kerr's, a happy 49th birthday. His leaders are Christmas miracles, mariachi bands, and the Texas Lotto.
Starting point is 02:08:13 Shout out to the FODs in the YouTube chat. And because I pay your salaries, you should get Alexa on for a business Wednesday. The current business Wednesday lineup is a real sausage fest. She has woman-owned business. Blake knows how to find her in chat. They're not going to let a woman-owned a business. Does she live elsewhere?
Starting point is 02:08:37 No, you should. No, it's probably if her, that means her husband left it to her. Right. Right? Sure. Estabst the punt, never run from Tony in Alaska. Establish the punt. We have a guy in Alaska listening and yelling at us.
Starting point is 02:08:54 Two more. Sportsfeure. It is my Randy White birthday, day one, ticket P1, and day one. D.F. Sad when you guys left. I thought Blake was staying, but. then you took him to. I'm glad he's on the dumb zone because Blake is my leader.
Starting point is 02:09:14 Wow. I recently tweeted a photo of him from a remote at UT Dallas about 20 years ago. Yeah. More Sarah Heppala, more Soroy. I would like to hear Ham and Dutch Pentameter joke off. No puppet. You got a fan. One.
Starting point is 02:09:35 And Tyler says, I missed my birth. birthday shout out. I hope my wife would send in something since I constantly talk about this show, but she's a bee. Having a guy named Tyler there, I just met some of our Fort Worth listeners, and I'm like, what's your name? Braden, what's your name, Aiden? They're literally, they have the fake, two, perfect names. It's a real thing. Now I need Caden, Jaden. All right. This segment of the Dumb Zone brought to you by Community Mechanical.
Starting point is 02:10:09 They don't forget about the V in HVAC. Do you know Community Mechanical? Do I? Yeah, are we all aware of Community Mechanical? Everyone loves them. Well, I didn't ask your feelings on them. They may have put the cold air in here. They could get to the bottom of that whole,
Starting point is 02:10:27 does it shoot a bunch of 70-degree air in there or 75-degree air thing? That's true. Call Community Mechanical. And ask them. And ask, yeah. if you want to call or text Travis, he is available at the number 469, 667-7-290. Ask him if I'm right.
Starting point is 02:10:50 I think if you do turn the air onto like 60, it's going to then blow out 60-degree air, making an 80-degree house colder quicker. Yeah. But if you set it to 75, it's just going to kick out 75-degree air. There's a mic right here. You could settle it.
Starting point is 02:11:06 No. There comes. Oh, with his information. Oh, here comes. Set the record straight. Big air conditioning guy coming up here. Travis from Greeny Mechanical. Look at what a mountain of man he is.
Starting point is 02:11:23 Have you ever seen something this large? That's what she said. It's the first time I've heard that. Yeah. The, no, the supply air coming out of an AC typically is somewhere between like 48 and 55 degrees on a properly working system and then it'll get you down to your set point and stop. So you're normally looking for like a 15 to 20 degree split between, which means the air coming out should be
Starting point is 02:11:49 15 to 20 degrees colder than it is inside your house. But if my house right now is at 85 and I want it to get colder, if I set it to 75, is it going to be as, will it get cold as quick as if I set it to 60? It's going to come out at the same temperature. It's going to come out at the same temperature. It's going to come out at 50, 55 degrees. Change your answer a little. But does it come out faster with more urgency? Because yes, I will crank that thing. Now it's going to hustle.
Starting point is 02:12:20 I know. My wife is all like, what? And I'm like, no, it'll get, you know. Well, if you have one of the nicer systems that has modulating air, it will push it out at 100%. Whereas if you're just trying to go down a degree or two, it might only push it out at 40 or 50%. Oh, I think I have that one. Yeah, I'm modulating.
Starting point is 02:12:41 You're modulating. Now, can you answer Jake's question? Does it have a mind of its own? Will it pull up at the finish line around 75 if you set it there? That's the thing. When I set mine, I'm like, go get them. I give it like a little instructions. Here's another guy who stopped spitting this weekend. What? Or
Starting point is 02:12:57 he's had cavities. He stopped spitting last year when we brought it up. No cavities since. You had another testimony. That's a bad. That's not why. It's such a small sample size. What are we talking? It took over a year ago. He made one change. Based on hearing.
Starting point is 02:13:13 He's not on the rain. No, no, no. The dentist told me. What? What do they know? Not to rinse? That's the whole reason that Florida is in your toothpaste, so there's a film over your teeth.
Starting point is 02:13:21 It's bad for you. And you're not supposed to rinse it all. No, and if you can tell about my size, I eat a lot of sweets. And so I've had a lot of cavities, and I haven't had one since I stopped. I mean, I'll wipe my mouth off and get all the foam and stuff, but yeah.
Starting point is 02:13:34 Doesn't it feel like, like, greeny in your mouth? Like, oh, it is. 100% worse in the morning. I definitely have a worse taste in my mouth in the morning. But it's big tooth. I go to that than someone's trilling my mouth. That's what I said earlier. Community dfw.com, everyone.
Starting point is 02:13:52 This is Travis. Thank you, Travis. Thank you, Travis. Good luck with your teeth. Community Mechanical presents on this day in history. That was a lot of fun. Is TC here? On his way.
Starting point is 02:14:06 We've had a lot of great surprise guests, though. Is she just like I'm not coming then? Yeah, why did you show up? There is tear down. Yeah, tear down, retro. We can still do the drone shot, have it on the show before. Don't look at me. Somebody could grab my pizza.
Starting point is 02:14:27 Thursday, March 26th is today on this day in 1917, Julie, the Seattle Metropolitan's became the first U.S. team to win the Stanley Cup. Wow. How about that, huh? For them. I didn't even know about them. the Seattle Metropolitan's. On this day in 1937, in Crystal City, Texas,
Starting point is 02:14:50 they erected a statue of Popeye because apparently they have a lot of spinach growing down there. Did you know that? No, I did not. Where is Crystal City? My guess. Oh, my guess is around Houston, but... Sounds fancy.
Starting point is 02:15:06 On this day in 1997, Jake, the bodies of 39-me-men members of the Heaven's Gate techno-religious cult who committed suicide were found inside a rented mansion in California. The cult members believe that by killing themselves, they were shedding their earthly containers to catch a ride on a spaceship, trailing the Hale-Bop comet. Yeah. How do we know that they're not on that spaceship? We don't. We don't. That's smart of them to rent.
Starting point is 02:15:35 Very smart. I remember they were all wearing Nikes. Yeah. And that was one of my favorite fake SNL commercials. They just took the footage from the inside of the house with all the bodies and just put the just-to-it thing over it. Oh my God, really? Very good. Geez.
Starting point is 02:15:50 Yeah. And on this day in 2010, Gilbert Arena sentenced to 30 days in a halfway house for bringing guns into the Washington Wizards locker room. He also got two years probation, a $5,000 fine, and 400 hours of community service. Do you think he ever did that? I've always wondered that. You always hear about that, but then you never hear like, hey, I saw Gilbert Arenas on the side of the highway picking up trash. The weird thing about that is,
Starting point is 02:16:20 is they had just changed their name from the bullets a couple years before. Right, he was confused. In an effort to stamp out all gun violence, but he was supposed to be doing spells that day. Yeah, bringing a wand. Instead, he had a gun. So today is March 26, this day in Dumb Zone history. In 2024, it was on this day that Jake said happy Gilmore 2 will not happen. Ooh, this day.
Starting point is 02:16:45 Burn. Tough one. How does that one feel? Not good. Continue to double and triple down. It didn't happen and really it just, apparently it sucked. The first half was good. It was pretty good.
Starting point is 02:17:00 Oh. I watched it at Brain Topia. What an interesting study. What does your brain do whenever. you watch an Adam Sandler movie. Right. It's the only time I have to watch movies and shows for Eutopia. Back in 2020, Jake played a piece of audio that we all had fun with.
Starting point is 02:17:20 It was the local TV put out a vote. Remember, we're in the middle of lockdown. And the question was, how long could you quarantine? Right. Which was, if you do reach your breaking point, what are you going to do? I found it to be a dire implication from WFAA. How long can you take? take it. Well, then what?
Starting point is 02:17:40 Right. How do I answer? Uh, 2021, it was on this day that Dr. Phil, uh, compared COVID to swimming pools, saying swimming pools kill people every year and we're not shutting down swimming pools. That's an excellent point. Excellent point. Well, actually, we locked down because of COVID.
Starting point is 02:18:01 What you need to do. And then this last one, we got a P-mail because Jake, was going through his fertility issues and going to the donation clinic. And we got an email from a P1 who had to get in an elevator with one of the nurses. Oh. And he was saying that typically, I mean, men can feel this. Women are afraid of men in elevators. But he put out this thing that said, well, at least she doesn't have to worry that if something were to happen, that she would get pregnant.

Starting point is 02:24:48 It's all threes. Just a reminder. Did you ever read Man's Search for Meaning? No. Is it because you're a Holocaust denier? Victor Frankel was in a concentration camp and survived. I believe him. I get it.

Starting point is 02:26:18 The first woman to run for vice president. Right. It's funny to say that because then, oh, okay, when was she vice? Well, and Curley Neal died on this day. He was a Harlem Globetrotter. And that just made me think this morning of the countless, I'm not kidding either. Yeah. We're doing sports talk in the playground.
Starting point is 02:26:40 Pretty, the reason the Harlem Globetrotters were not. not in the NBA is because it wouldn't be fair. Too good. They would not be undefeated. We had decided. Yeah. Ours was. But it wouldn't be fair to have a team that was that good in the NBA.
Starting point is 02:26:58 Ours was they stopped sending NBA players over into the Olympics. And we thought if we just sent the and one squad over there, they could bring home gold. Right. The streetball team. Guys can't buy a bucket. They can dribble through their legs. Yeah. A.O. could get a bucket.
Starting point is 02:27:14 And that's what happened on this day in history. Yes, indeed. So here at Zollies in Fort Worth, where we invite you, even if you're not here today, to come on out. How's the pizza here, Taryn? Did you have any pizza? Oh, hold on. More Taryn. More Taryn.
Starting point is 02:27:37 Let's get more Taryn and get her exact order. Also, Connie Rousseau and other affiliated entities for your catering needs. Oh, yeah. You have end of year parties coming up. What's that, PILF, PILF, PILF catering. What does it stand for? Pizza ill. I don't know, yeah.
Starting point is 02:27:54 Pizza you'd like to. Yeah, pizza ill. Do stuff. That's true. That's what it stands for. Yeah. We've been told. Anyway, Taryn, the pizza of choice today?
Starting point is 02:28:04 Oh, hold on, hold on. I'm going to do it now. I know what it is now. We're wiring up, Taryn. We're powering her up. Okay. You fired up for opening day. You go home and watch.
Starting point is 02:28:16 Hi, Taryn. I think we have a 3 o'clock first pitch, I think. Where are we? I know it's not the home opener. No, that's sensitive. Philly? Philly, Baltimore. Next week, we will be at the home opener in Lot D
Starting point is 02:28:27 on Letty's Bang Bus. Or outside it, right? Tent. Yeah. So if you want to join us, if you're out the opening day, Terran, it's probably not your bit, is it? How do we feel now?
Starting point is 02:28:38 Great. Am I on? Terry. She's here for closing remarks. I thought maybe you. We needed this hat to really work well. Oh, nice. Wow.
Starting point is 02:28:49 Our annual visit where Taryn comes in to talk about her charity, or a charity that's near and dear to your heart that we have supported. The Dumb Zone has supported this. Yes. Two years in a row now. I'm going to ask for forgiveness. I asked y'all to sponsor, and then I was like, oh, my goodness, I'm going to have Dumb Zone on the back of, like, kids' shirts that participated in this walk,
Starting point is 02:29:13 And is this what a politician feels like when they ask for money? And then they're like, oh, wait. We're used to do whatever you want. We just want to help the charity. No, we totally appreciate the platform that y'all have given us. I want to give a huge shot out to refocus media. I tagged them on a share, Blake, if you can reshare this video. They heard us last year when we came on and talked about our mission and our cause
Starting point is 02:29:43 and reached out and came to our walk and with a drone, did all of the pictures, lots of clips of everybody that participated, and they did it completely for free. And our organization is composed of four people that
Starting point is 02:29:59 do this for free because we want to save one child or even an adult. And so it's a lot of hard work that's, you know, we need help to try and look like a legitimate non-futable, nonprofit because we're not paid.
Starting point is 02:30:15 So refocused media has been amazing and that's solely because of y'all's listenership that reached out to help. So really, really appreciate all of the plugs that y'all have given our organization. We were happy we could have somebody else get a drone. Today we were supposed to have one out here today.
Starting point is 02:30:34 That's so disappointing. Isn't it really? Who does it? We all love TC. I know. It's part of the package, isn't it? You know, hey, I'm sure it was something important. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 02:30:46 He was up too late and he woke up too late. Oh, man. Well. What are you going to do? What are you going to do? He'll show up next time, I'm sure. But I... I...
Starting point is 02:30:59 I love. I love me. I wanted, though, to talk about... So your sponsorship last year gave us funds, which we were able to provide community. in schools to our middle school in Crumb ISD. Communities in schools is a national nonprofit that basically provides wraparound care for students. If there's food insecurity, if there's counseling services, if there's parent education,
Starting point is 02:31:27 a mentorship program within the community, I mean, they provide so much for the kids, and they're kind of like the first person to see these signs that kids need help. And my daughter is in the middle school where we brought the program, and she's gotten to go and meet with the counselor and do role play about boundaries. And it's just so empowering. She came home and she said, you know, Mom, I was able to talk to a friend about how I was uncomfortable with their hugging and set some boundaries as a 12-year-old with a friend without hurting feelings, but just being very confident and being empowered to speak. her truth and her voice of what she was comfortable with and that was something that she learned through the CIS program so they're they're an amazing program and we were so grateful that we were able to cut a check for 40,000 dollars to provide that for our middle school now what sucks is that we have
Starting point is 02:32:27 to have a non-profit situation to provide the funds to get that kind of programming into school because state funds are really hard with school so I was I missed the D I the DZVIP meeting because I was able to go speak at our school board meeting to advocate for them actually paying for this program going forward. So we're hoping that the funds that we get from this next walk, which I'm here to promote, will be able to fund a second year of communities and schools in our middle school and hopefully to the high school campus, because as you know, needs don't stop after eighth grade. So thank you so much for your support in that because those funds that y'all have given us to sponsor our walk is going directly to that. And so our walk we're super excited about is April 25th.
Starting point is 02:33:21 It's a nighttime glow time walk from 6 to 9 at our Crumb High School track. It's awesome for the kids, awesome for the whole family. It's super fun. There will be a rock climbing wall. There's a bounce house. There's booths, the groups from the middle schools and high school and all the elementary schools like NEHS and the just different organizations come out and the kids work these booths for activities for kids to come and participate and do lots of different things. One aspect of our walk that we're super proud of is we have designated mental health professionals that wear green shirts. So they're clearly identifiable at the walk.
Starting point is 02:34:04 So if there's anybody that needs someone professional that they need to talk to, they can go to our caring corner and have a conversation with a professional. And then there's a ton of resources that we provide for the community because we found as, I'm sorry, I'm just going to keep talking and talking unless you stop me. You're good. I was just thinking about my blind friend with mental problems, and so I guess he's out of luck to find the green shirt. color. But go ahead. Go ahead.
Starting point is 02:34:36 Oh, gosh. Yes, hello. Well, hopefully he has a friend walking with him. Thanks for the break. What we have found as me and Kim sit on, as Meg Matters, sit on a couple different boards like with United Way of Denton County, we sit on their children and family services work group. And so we go every month and we hear about the different school districts like Louisville ISD and Denton ISD. These are huge districts that have a ton of resources, and then we're this rural school that doesn't have a lot. Yeah, a little crumb.
Starting point is 02:35:13 Little crumb. You know what? I've wondered, have you ever wanted to be on a board? Doesn't that sound kind of cool? Yes. Is it cool? I've thought about it. You get paid?
Starting point is 02:35:24 No, no one on our board is paid. Well, not that board. Sorry. Not that board. But like there are boards where you can just get paid. And you show up and give your opinion on stuff. something. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:35:34 Yeah. I think if it's like a corporation, like something with follow the money, there's probably a paid gig. They need like an expert opinion. Yeah, I don't want one of the ones like you're on. Yours is actually doing something great for the world.
Starting point is 02:35:45 Yeah, no, I want it to do something good for me. And then I can give money to people who will do something good for the world. Exactly. All goes full circle. You're helping a ton. You're very charitable. That's all we are.
Starting point is 02:35:57 And I want to say, I want to say, I love Emily. Me and Emily, I've got to confess, I crossed some lines with Emily in Mexico. Oh, good. Yeah, they want to know more. In Mexico, it doesn't count, though, right?
Starting point is 02:36:10 Right. Well, you know, I fanned girled out. I came to dinner and she was sitting at a table and I was like, oh, my goodness, mom came out. How, this is fun. But anyway, but she says you're a creep and I do not think you're a creep. So I just want to, for the record, as a former cart girl who knows what an old man creep is like, you know, and how to.
Starting point is 02:36:29 You've seen some stuff. How to hit hands off. had a conversation about boundaries and the hugs. Didn't need it. You've never, you've never been a creep. He's not a creep. I'm not a real creep.
Starting point is 02:36:41 That's right. Keep, keep saying that. This only makes him stronger. I just pay them more money. Give them more money next year if they keep saying this bull. This lie. But as we sit on,
Starting point is 02:36:51 like, United Way of Denton County, and we're also members of serve Denton, so we're able to get into these systems and clearly identify the gaps in needs. And it is, for and foremost, parent education and knowing the resources out there that are available, there's a ton of things. But it's just getting the right information to the right person at the right time to save a life or save a situation where, like, a kid doesn't need to go to some extreme because of a situation that's difficult, you know, just being able to spot it earlier. So there's just a lot of stuff we're trying to get out there and do. And this community walk is what we've found
Starting point is 02:37:31 has been just a really awesome opportunity for our community to get together and see how resilient these kids are and how awesome these kids are and these families and see that there are resources out there. I mean, for veterans, for example, we have 50,000 veterans that are in Denton County. But one thing about veterans,
Starting point is 02:37:48 they don't like to throw their own horns. They don't like to say that they're, oh, I did this, I did this. And they don't use the resources that are provided for them by our government. And so they're like having information there at the walk and letting people get connected and feel the support that we want them to fill. It's just it's just really good for the community. So we appreciate y'all letting us use your platform and getting the word out. In exchange for not putting Dumbzone on the shirt, even though we gave the feet.
Starting point is 02:38:15 I put Dumbzone on the shirt. Oh, I thought you didn't want to. No, I did. Oh, because it's fine if you don't want to. No, I did. We just want to support your thing. I don't need the thing. No, I know, but I put it on there and then later when I had to.
Starting point is 02:38:27 We've had to consider it to, like, putting it on an item. When I saw a kid walking, I was like, how good does this, like, work as far as advertising? Like, is a kid going to... Could you put our logo in the middle of where... It just says dumb zone. It doesn't say, like, a dirty nickname. I'd like a better placement than that. And as my husband reminded me, he goes, well, you know, it's a community walk, and there are a lot of parents that need to listen to the dumb zone.
Starting point is 02:38:50 So, you know... They need to laugh. They need to laugh through life's hard. So I don't... I haven't spiraled. out too bad because of it. But I was going to say, because I have a history of this, could I not do the walk but get the shirt that says that I did and then tell people I did the walk? Yes. So these are two that, I mean, I was bad. Y'all were a sponsor and I didn't even give y'all shirts last year.
Starting point is 02:39:12 So these are, I'm giving you these today for your girls or for anybody. Yeah, we're going to give them one. Dan's kind of the opposite of the veteran. You know, who's shy, but he wants their discount. Right. No, I want the veteran parking. The shirt. I always I always put on my fatigues and then I do that at Home Depot I park in the veteran parking Right Full military
Starting point is 02:39:34 Yeah yeah yeah So April 20 Meg matters Meg matters What's the website? April 25th Blake's shared on the socials All the links to register

And I've got presents. Even though I tuned in to Steve Novielo, late call, last call. and I was like okay I guess I can't give Jake his present because he thinks it's I'm wanting something I say a lot of stuff I don't even know what were you ripping Taryn on last car no he just said that no present is given without like wanting something well you know and I and so I said well I always want

Starting point is 02:41:41 Okay. Because I'm raising the bar. I think this is actually good, but maybe it's not. Oh, I forgot one thing. One thing, this is actually really important. I brought Steve Zon to. I was confused. I didn't know if we were going to pay it off.
Starting point is 02:41:55 Oh, wait. What is that? Okay, there's a life-size cutout or a very big cutout. I think this is maybe how tall he is. Oh, he's a short guy? I think so. Okay, yeah. This is one of my wife's...
Starting point is 02:42:06 Hall pass. What's her, uh, Willie Geist? Do you know it? I only know Steve's on. No, Willie Geist. Steve's on. And maybe there's someone else. I can pull it up here.
Starting point is 02:42:16 I can't remember. He's got a list. You got a list. Well, so Steve's on is like the ultimate girl dad. and he just made a movie about his daughter, and it's called She Dances. So I was trying to manifest actually getting Steve Zon on, and I thought your wife might have fun with a life-size cut out of Steve Zon.
Starting point is 02:42:36 She could ride them all right. She could just see him in the, you know, in the house while you're doing dishes. And just, I don't know. But also... You are giving that to me. Yes, this is your... Well, it's Kathy's. Okay, yeah.
Starting point is 02:42:49 It's for Kathy. Very clear. Yes. Yeah. But what's really funny is my girls, I have roast twins as well, a 16-year-old and a 12-year-old, and they constantly roast me. And when the life-size Steve Zon cutout was in our living room, they're like, why did you get a cutout of Dan McDowell? Dude, I was going to say, that does have very Dan vibes. Casting direct.
Starting point is 02:43:13 Okay, Dumb Zone movie, Steve's on playing Dan McDow. That would be Kathy's dream, wouldn't it? There we go. She doesn't know we exist She's like, what is this movie about? That does look like you though, bro. All right. I can see it.
