I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jake Kemp. I'm Blake Jones. Foodie K. Foodie K. Okay, also here as Waterburger has brought some food in for us today. Brough. Is this new stuff?

What do we got? Oh, it's the picture of the waterburger. It's empty now. Everybody's eating a water burger. Yeah, I destroyed my... Our man downtown, John Kukla, came in here and had some fries. He did. He did.

He made the very rare, I'll just have some fries selection. Didn't want a burger, didn't want a salad. I'll just have some fries. but the burger, the bacon steakhouse double damn. That's what we're talking about here? Oh, don't forget that banana pudding shake. I already ate one or drank one of those. That's Dan's game, but I think I might be entering the realm of my shake portion of life.

Yeah. It's fun. It's good for you. Banana. You know what? And I don't even really know how you make a milkshake, if we're being honest. But something that I notice is when you look at like the calorie intake on a few scoops of ice cream, It'll be one thing.

And then you'll look at a milkshake and it'll be double that. So I'm always like, is it really double as good? Yes. In the case of the banana pudding shake at Waterburger, it's his. Because you don't have to use all the arm muscles, you know, you just to dig the ice cream out and stuff. You're just like, it's just ready to eat. Yeah.

It's ready to eat. Shout out to Waterburger. Quick follow up, of course. The other day I told you guys I would work out at 7 a.m. or I had, did I work out at 7 a.m.? Yeah, on Tuesday. I had a 7 a.m. workout, but it just threw my whole waking up time out of whack and getting out of bed and all that kind of stuff.

And everybody told me, and you told me, and Blake told me, and Max told me, he's like, ah, it's going to be great. You're going to love it, and then you're going to be done, and you're going to feel like $100. And so, like, it was something to be done, be at home then and fully get to prep for the show still. and then, because I'm used to, I've been working out like at 9, 9.30-ish. That's crunch time. 10 a.m. right before the show. And so you're like, oh, you're going to feel great at 3 o'clock. So I got home.

I think I went right home after the show, which I rarely do, but I didn't, went right home. So I'm at home like at 3.3.15 dead. Felt like ass all night. No. Could barely move. The next day, just dragging Business Wednesday, I felt it just stuck with me. And even woke up late this morning, like I'm still feeling the residual effects. I just want to say there is too early for working out.

It was back at the gym this morning at 10 a.m. I'm going to tell you about it. And I'm going to tweet about it. I'm going to show my workout, show my problems. progress. So yeah. I just want to say, you were wrong, they were wrong, Max was wrong. I didn't feel awesome. I felt terrible. And it's been three days. And I feel better now that I think I shook it off me by going back to the gym and I'm back into my routine. And this was the lesson that you've always told me that you tried to send to your kids, right? That if you do something that's going to

make you better in the end, if you can bail on it right away when it gets hard, you should. Absolutely. Absolutely. Like you can make an immediate assessment on whether this will work for your life. I actually can't say that it's going to get better. You'll know within five minutes if you're going to get married. Yeah. No, I actually can't tell you it's going to get better because some people it's just different. But if it weren't going to be good, it wouldn't happen on day one.

I would think, although I did kind of tell you that. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see if he schedules me for another one, I'm going to do it. But we'll see. Yeah, I mean, you just got to go to bed earlier, man. you might be a guy who has to face down the barrel because let me tell you when you're working it down I'm working it down let me tell you when you're really I enjoy the going to better when you're really screwed it's when the time changes and you realize that occasionally maybe two nights a week

if you're lucky you will go to sleep and the sun will not be all the way down oh insane that does seem insane but you're talking about working out what do they call it the sarcadian circassian rhythm Yeah, it's a, yeah, Circassian. Sarkeesian rhythm. Yeah, and a monkey. Yeah. No, I think you're saying you're working out at seven instead of nine or nine-thirty. So you should be going to bed two hours earlier.

If you did that, you'd be. Yeah, then I'd get up earlier and then eat if I could have my full meal and all that. You might not have to get up early. Well, I guess your body, you would. You would. Well, whatever. I'm just trying to tell you, sometimes they're lying to you of kids. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, most people don't die from drugs either. Yeah, like handle your high. Or just trust luck. I never wore a helmet. Look, everything's fine. That works too. Why wear a seatbelt? So we have a lot of stuff to get to today.

We have Fox 4's Lori Brown. She's a reporter. She's on the scene. Yeah, she'll be here in the Game Day Men's Health Studio, Game Day.com. Just want to give them a quick plug. Love them. We'll have a handoff.

And NB Twix there will have viewer mail where we will follow up on the question. Maybe we just need to have a new segment called. Are we bullshit and we're shoddy? So we actually find out how many of the stories he tells are complete nonsense. But before that, let's do a session. Ooh. I need to plug in for this. Let's give quick love to Flooring Direct DFW then.

I'm getting better. The estimate is free, too. I'm getting better starting the music early, though. You already played it. Oh, I did. Played again. Okay, so the Rangers have two losses. They're both Evo starts.

See the last play of the game? I did. I did not. Missed yesterday. It was an ABS. It was a day game, right? Really? Yeah.

Yeah, an 1135 start. Yeah, it was well over before we got out of here. on the scoreboard. Yeah, it was a walk-off ABS. One-two pitch to Evan Carter, of course. Evan Carter took the pitch. It was a ball. Catcher's like, oh, let's see.

Strike three, game over. All right. I mean, it wasn't like... Yeah, they were down. Yeah, they were down by five. But the story of the week that we didn't talk about the other day was that young NBA player and former... top five pick, Jaden Ivy, was waived by the Chicago Bulls.

He had been traded to the Bulls about a week prior dealing with a knee injury. They were shutting him down. And I can't tell you that I knew a ton about this guy other than his name. I see him on like fantasy box scores, but I didn't know this backstory at all. You know, hand up. My NBA knowledge in the last 14 months has fallen off. if this guy was going nuts. Five years ago, and I don't want to say,

that's already loaded, right, saying going nuts, because I think that's part of the debate. Five years ago, I might have known. I didn't know anything about this at all. But in what's come out afterward, it seems like the story is being presented as he was, and being presented by some pretty big names like Shams in his tweet over this,

it's being framed as he was fired for an anti-LGB. rant, which he did go on. But really, he's just speaking his religious beliefs. I think it's, if there's probably something that would frustrate Christians or conservatives about like being called anti-LGBQ or like he's just saying what's in the book. You know what I mean? He's not, I don't know, I'm not anti-I. I'm telling you this is what the book says and this is how I think we should live.

If you don't, you know, then you should do different. But he's just, he's a Christian. And he's, that is what most Christian doctrine is not accepting of homosexuals or alternative lifestyles. And I don't know if that alone would have got him fired. Despite the fact that the NBA does have, I think, a pretty significant interest in the, like, sexually progressive market. There are a lot of lesbians.

I don't know, it probably applies broadly. I don't know that that it alone would have got him run, but that alone is not all he said. He went on a schizophrenic... What I would say was a schizophrenic tirade. You know, if you follow enough social media and you walk by a homeless person and they'll give you their new world order takes,

he's somewhere in between that and being a regular person dealing in reality. Like, he's able to get himself on a plane and is able to turn the phone off when he's live streaming when the flight attendant is like cut the cut that but while he's live streaming he's ranting about how step curry is a fake christian and lebron's titles won't mean anything to before the kingdom of of god and whoa i know i thought there was a way to get you in here and you know he's not just saying i'm not someone who's accepting of these lifestyles he's saying and also the NBA shouldn't be celebrating this, and this is a bad bit that we're being forced. This is being forced down our throat. Now, as our friend Ethan Strauss pointed out, I don't know what he's talking about.

I don't think the NBA has a scheduled Pride Night. I think each individual team might. But like the NBA having a Pride Month. Is there a Pride Month? No, I don't think there is a, yeah, we celebrate all this month. I think he's shooting at a non-existent target, which is just that the league is generally okay with it. You know? Yeah.

So I don't even know what set him off. They're not making you take away the rainbow crosswalks. So I guess the point is that he went beyond just having some beliefs that are contrary to what might be thought of as conventional, progressive, forced upon you values. Like what else was he doing in the, what you say is a schizophrenic rant? What else was he touching on? Well, I would actually say that if you said, hey, my co-worker, the famous one, his religion is fake. And you said that to the public, that's already like this guy might be nuts. Okay.

What does that have anything to do with anything? But I'm also hesitant to use the term schizophrenic because then you go deeper, further into it. He's got multiple interviews where he is outlining being sexually assaulted badly as a child. A lot of trauma. So when he's saying the Steph stuff, he's basically saying you're fake because you're not ranting against the NBA's. Because he prioritizes the worldly, you know, hedonistic ways. He called Catholicism a fake religion, which is professionally troubling for his mother because she's the head coach of women's basketball at Notre Dame. So he, you know, he's just doing a lot of hellfire and brimstone stuff on there.

Like, God won't hear your prayers if you're a sinner. And you will all be judged. You know, just that sort of thing. But he went beyond that. He spoke about the league's policies on it. He spoke about coworkers. Like, you think, you think Jay King could go to the Dallas Morning News and just start ranting and raving about Corby and be like, this guy's a fraud.

Well, that might be a key what you just said right there. He's Jaden Ivy. Right. He's not. No, but he's probably not. I think Steph Curry could go on ranting about somebody. He might, but he would lose, you're right. It's all a spectrum and it's all a continuum.

He wouldn't be cut. You'd deal with him somehow. Kyrie got slapped on the wrist. Kyrie. And it was also during a time whenever he was causing several other problems. He was not performing at a super high level. level. And then once he got to Dallas and played along and played at a high level, he went back to live streaming and gets away with it. So you're right. I think at the end of the day, the production or lack thereof had a lot to do with it.

I think the invoking the name of other superstars, they're all about the brand, you know? That's all they give a shit about. It isn't about protecting gay people. They're like, dude, are you fucking crazy? They don't like gay people. They don't hate gay people. and LeBron James, it doesn't matter. You can go through NBA players' Twitter. I'm just saying they like what is the financially best thing for them.

You might as well, if you're out there talking about Steph Curry and LeBron James, you might as well, you'd be better off talking about Jesus Christ himself as like negatively. Because those guys are worth all of the money to the league. So that's where you cross the line. And then T.C.'s other point, because he grew up a Bulls fan, and somewhat bulls adjacent is the bulls are a terribly run organization and this feels like a move

that you would have done in 2015 where a guy's having a mental breakdown and you're like, ugh, get away. Like a more passionate or compassionate organization might have said, hey bud, you're about to throw it all away. Like, do we really don't? Let's work with you on getting these beliefs into like a productive way

where you're not just talking about your co-workers and employer. Is Detroit the real non-passionate? Like, they're the ones that they knew his bit and traded him. Yeah, and I guess part of that bit. Let's give this problem to someone else. They don't know about his off-the-court stuff. Because that's what I've been reading is, like, him off the court. Yeah.

Like, teammates don't like it. Like, it's just too much. It's too, too much. Yeah, that he would routinely ask reporters about their sex lives. Like, are you having premarital sex? are you fornicating? Yeah. Before love.

And before marriage and I saw somebody who's like, but for them to be like, me reporter, yes, I ate some pee. What about your three points in any rebounds? But these guys are calling the dumb team and, you know, God, Nico's not around it. Let's call, let's call Chicago. That's a good point, yeah.

And yeah, cool. And they just unloaded them and now it's somebody else's problem in Chicago. Now they're real, like one weekend. and like, oh, God, we got enough issues. We just don't need this, too. Then lump the pistons in there with them. I think any time you work for an entity that has this much money, nobody should be left behind through these sorts of,

like this is the most resources an individual who's struggling could ever have in the history of humanity. Like, they should take care of him. Yeah, well, what's the guy who slept with LeBron's wife, or mom? Delante West. It was, you know. I know. He obviously had millions of dollars and the help of those around him and Mark Cuban tried to step in.

Okay. But still, if you have. And in that case, those problems. If that all happens to this guy and he's still doing this, but that's like five levels down. Yeah. You know what I mean? There's still, this dude's young, just kind of says his family's not talking to him. And there's certainly a way to be outwardly religious.

But yeah, there's a certain level, though, that get your message. across. And it's also not political because like, and maybe this, people would say it's racial. I watch the Trump dance in the NFL every weekend now. Like Nick Bosa's those guys are not being shy about their support for the president.

And it's fine. Is that necessarily say support for the president or is that this is funny? Like you're almost making fun of them. Like I like the Trump dance. I don't know. When most of the guys that I've seen doing it, I've also seen like photograph

with him. It's harder to tell, but some probably are doing bits. Former NBAer Swaggy Pete, Nick Young himself, decided to go live on Instagram. It looks like he's grocery shopping. And he's a guy who I think is more than just sports funny. So I want to play a little bit of his rant.

You said something about Steph Curry. Oh, yeah. You talk about Steph Curry. You called him, you called the Golden Child, not a Christian? Oh, yeah. God might even do something to you for that. God don't play about him. What other nigga, you know that six feet and the best player in the NBA?

Jaden, Jayden, I mean, your best bet now is just be gay. Your best bet is just be gay. Like, fuck it. The next thing, you know, you know, I talk about gays because I'm gay. Just say it's a shit like that because you're done. You talked about Steph Curry. Now you just got to get them on your side to come back. You want to come back to the league, you're going to have to do some collison twin shit, yeah?

Don't you ever talk about Steph Curry? You know who is? God and blessed them. The Him being able to bless them. God, you know, told God's favorite child that he's not a Christian. I can't believe this shit. That's the funny thing that that's the egregious thing. And I think it's a window.

Into how NBA players think of Steph Curry. Like, they literally think of him like he's a deity. Yeah, hands off. You can't. And they know what the league thinks of them. Right, because when you're LeBron,

everyone loves LeBron and everyone knows he's the greatest or one of the few greatest of all time. But you look at, he said he's six feet. He's the greatest player in the NBA. This is God's favorite child. And you call him a fake Christian. But it's also a funny insight into his thought on what he heard, you know, he listened to the rant and he took that away from it.

It wasn't anything about gay people or, you know, yeah, it's your best bet now. It was like, that's why you got cut, brother. Yeah, I love that. And you said it. It's the money. Do we want to do any other sessy stuff today? I have one more baseball note. Okay.

Now we follow the story of C.B. Buckner. Yeah. And C.B. Buckner actually was knocked out of a game yesterday. He was behind the plate for the Brewers game. Got drill with a foul ball. Yeah, got drilled with the foul ball. It made me wonder if MLB players, one of my favorite episodes of South Park, obviously, loser ball, maybe the title of it,

but it's when kids are trying to end their Little League baseball season. And so the best teams know how to get out on offense. They know how to hit the ball to the gloves of the defenders and generate outs to end their season. And it made me wonder, like if I was the best 0.01 percentile hitter at the plate and I wanted to park one in this idiot's face, could I? Yeah.

No way, right? Doubtful, but you got a bat in your hand. It's not going to kill him. Just knocks him down. So he's okay, right? Yeah, he's just all 63. And he's C.B. Buckner. So now we just...

Right. He's going to be a headline in every game. Well, he won't be alone. Because apparently, I don't know. It just seems like if you know an umpire... Yeah. This is all part of this new world we live in. With the...

With ABS? With ABS. It's incredible, I think. We don't know until we get... I hate to be myopic. It feels like the largest change to sports in my life. I mean, fundamentally they're changing. The only crazy thing, obviously,

and maybe there's a 5% chance in the outcomes I'm wrong, but obviously they'll use this on every pitch, every game going forward. Someday. Yeah, so you'll just look back at this time. Like 10 years from now? Yeah. Now, there's occasionally times where like pass interference,

they made reviewable, right? And they're like, oh, this created so many different downstream effects that they got rid of it after a year. But this one feels like one that's only going to grow. Well, because that was subject. You weren't sure. Right, but there are, yeah. This is a...

It's the biggest reason. This is, like, how do they use the tennis out-of-bound stuff? Does anybody watch tennis? Mm-mm. Yeah, I mean, it's a laser, I think. The laser thing, but is it for every call? Yes. Or is it like just a few challenge that?

No, it's every call. Okay, so it's not even like... Yeah, you're not even... I'm pretty sure about that. And, uh... But it just creates such... You know, it's strategy on when to use it. It's beautiful.

Why to use it? It creates... It creates story lines. Tension and drama all over the place. Who's good at it? Who's behind the plate tonight? I mean, we would always know that. But now we get...

We would always be able to later on be like, God, that Angel Hernandez, man, missed six calls yesterday. Like, look at this. Like, nothing to do about it. Yeah. Just like, again. And now you can, there is something to do about it. And there's actual shame. Like, did Angel Hernandez ever actually feel shame?

Because now it's like later he'd, oh, the next day he sees a headline or something on Twitter. Not 50K. Now, yeah, everybody is cheering for you. Everybody's cheering against you. Everybody's whatever. There's a sponsor attached to people cheering against you. Yeah. And I guess the good umpires will, you know, they're going to show how good they are.

are. And it's interesting that the one that's popping out is like the oldest umpire. Like, yeah, of course. Maybe 63-year-olds shouldn't be in that position unless they have, you know, Ted Williams type vision or something. It's tough. Well, the other story that we're following is also official related. At the league meetings, Roger Goodell had to let people know that they have settled on plans to use replacement refs if needed. Like they've got the infrastructure in place that has a replacement official backstop intact. They're going through a protracted labor negotiation, and it's going to expire next month, and it doesn't seem like it's going to get done by then.

That doesn't mean it won't get done like DAC's contract, 1159 of week one, and maybe you have replacement refs for one week or something, but it doesn't look good. And I don't know enough about it to know who to side with yet, but I wanted to at least put on notice that this is something we may very seriously have to reckon with. Gambling is so important now, dude, that if they don't get that, the refs have got to be using that at the leveraging table, right? Like, it turns out we might be the most important people here now. Yeah, it's an interesting when you talk about leverage,

because do you want to go into a season, like the, Refes might want to go into the season with replacement refs to illustrate how much better we are. Yeah. Yeah. Because, yeah, we're, but, you know, I mean, the NFL owners are the NFL owners, dude. Yeah. And they are used to not losing anything. They've gone with replacement reps.

They've even gone with replacement players. Yep. They went through, I mean, they are. Do you remember the last time, Blake? Oh, yeah. Was it, Seahawks Packers? The Fail-Mary. Yeah.

What was that situation? Why, do we remember that? Did he clearly not catch the ball? No, there was a very clear OPI, like a tackle by the guy who caught the ball. And that's not reviewable. And then two refs came in, one said interception, one said touchdown. It was a mess. Well, I wonder how they'll deal with that then.

because they are saying there's going to be clear and obvious like a ref in the booth will be able to change any call on the field. How would you do that? You're not allowed to, a ref in a booth even couldn't call a pass interference. No, there's nothing you could do about that one, I don't think. All right, now this. I got two quick sashi things if I can pile on. Okay, I was handed it to you.

Yeah, we'll get to that. Did you guys see the big hockey fight a few days ago? Does it involve municipal employees? No, no, no. This is not the firefighter and the police one. So there's a guy whose name I'm going to butcher, Goudis for the ducks, who laid a hit on Austin Matthews,

who's a really good player for the Maple Leafs and ended his season. And so then the Ducks and the Leafs play again, and as soon as the game starts, we drop the gloves. We got to fight this guy. Everyone is given his props. He didn't throw a punch.

He kind of took his punishment. But my thing is, like, he knows he's going to have to do this for probably a couple weeks. And if you're in the heat of the moment and you want to fight, you're all about it. But just knowing you're going to have to take an ass whooping for a week and a half, that would kind of suck. Yeah. I wonder if you know who you're going to fight. Maybe for these guys That's because we haven't been in that many fights

Maybe for these guys he's just like All right Just whatever Yeah I mean this is my job Yeah I think it's pretty clear Like he was not going to throw a punch He's like you're fine This is what you want

But I don't know That that was kind of cool from the hockey side Then the other thing is a bad bit So a few weeks ago A woman was caught texting at a Spurs game And I love this If there's someone in front of me texting I'm looking at.

at it. I got to get one of those screens, dude, because I just use my hand. What are you hiding? I just don't, like I said, I don't think I like the idea of somebody just being able to look down at your phone. I don't, it's weird. And it's because I set on press row or the auxiliary row for 10 years and saw the text messages of all of the middle-aged men in DFW media for years, 72 point font. And I'm like, I don't ever want, hey, honey boo-boo, or hey honey bear. I don't want it. It's great entertainment.

But the people that should be hiding, you're right, should be hiding their screen are the people who do stuff like this. So she was texting in the biggest font and texting with one finger doing the type, the slow type that the olds will do.

And she said, a lot of crazy Hispanic fans, all Hispanic, how can they afford it? She's talking about Spurs fans. It's a Spurs game. Well, now she's saying how can they afford it, though? She's there.

Yeah, she's probably sitting close. She's clearly not someone who's usually there. So she's remarking, like, oh, I wouldn't have thought Hispanic people would have enough money to go to the game that she clearly has enough money. Okay. So, of course, that spread, enough to the point where the Spurs had to release a statement.

We're all about inclusion. We love our crazy Hispanic fans. Even the ones that will pay the prices that, As a corporation, we're raping you to pay. But if, like, this lives on the internet, whatever, but you know this type of person comes to your games. Why do you have to make a formal announcement that, yeah, everyone is welcome if they pay?

Is it because they're worried they'll be asked about it? But who would you even ask? Well, it's not going to ask the coach. It's just corporate worry, like, should Mike Bassick have been fired? Well, the only thing about that was they were just getting calls from what I remember. So he shouldn't have because of that. Well, no, but I'm just saying, like, in this case. Oh, Cumulus was getting calls. Like Lulac had rallied. It was going to like

CNN. I thought he meant it justifies it because they were getting a lot of bad calls. I don't so know that anybody was going to go to the Spurs, you know, EVP had been like, would you have a comment on this? I don't know that you're getting it. There's nothing to get in front of it. They were getting calls from what, from who? Who is actually outrage? On Basick? It's kind of, I got, I got, I didn't get fired, right? Or did I end up getting, I lost my job at high school play by play by just saying the dirty Trimble Tomcat, same thing, kind of dirty Mexicans, I don't know, imply, like, not at all the same thing. To me.

Yeah, but to the poverty stricken town of Trimble. Sure. They might have seen that as that derogatory. But again, besides like a mom who heard that, or just how many people were that how many people's lives got better once Bassick was fired? Besides Mike Soroy. Oh, I was going to say quite a few, actually. I mean, the chain effect of anyone leaving is always...

Right. But... Me? Yeah. You know what I mean, though, as far as... It didn't achieve any goals. Any Hispanic person out there. Yeah.

Was their life improved? Because Bassick got fired and actually... I guess not. That absolutely helped his career because then he got hired somewhere by someone who was like, well, why would we put you and make you the producer of a show? I don't know if the stars have had to weigh in yet about... Like Bassik who has a lot of opinions. Their Hitler situation.

Did we talk about that the other day? Some Stars fans in the 300s. I thought I told you guys about this. It was right after the show. Off here. They're doing the Dallas Stars salute. Dallas, Stars, Pantera, so on, but with Heil Hitler's salute. Okay, that's the other thing.

Yeah, now they're in opening an investigation. Yeah. Like, okay, these are clearly like high school kids, right? Yes. High school, college. I mean, I could see young Jake or young Dan. I don't know that I see you as that kid. But me as a young, you know, you're just trying to,

you're making Challenger jokes the day after. You're making 9-11 jokes the day after. I don't know why I never thought, I never thought to incorporate the salute because it's right my favorite. We never did that either. But now it's in the news now. It wasn't in the news as like people are doing it. It was thought of back then as just being a thing you would just actually not do.

And now it's kind of a thing where I don't know, some kind of made, like these people that support, yeah, they're, they seem Nazi-ish. Like there was no me growing up going, oh, yeah, there's, look at these Nazis who are getting somewhat kind of support somewhere. Right. But that's an outward demonstration. But for someone to zoom in on someone's phone, that's different. Yeah. Yeah, they're trying to draw attention to themselves. I don't know that the team should have to do anything in either case.

No. Right. And we talk about this all the time. Just because it lives on Twitter for how many, quote, thousands of people. Like, that's not real world stuff. I don't know. I just thought that was a little over extension by the spurs. No, it probably is. And you know what else, Dan?

Well, the following thing that you will hear, I don't want to mention it because it's back and it's very exciting, but it's going to be brought to us by fairlease.org. That makes sense. Fairlease.org. They lease cars and they're fair. Anyway, why you went there and you kind of really have all the lowdown? I still don't quite understand.

Why is the fact that they are owned by the Texas Credit Union or the Credit Union of Texas? Why is that better for you? There's no third party involved here. There's no bank that they have to call. You're not getting the loan from another. another entity. The loan is just right there in-house. It's fair deals, transparent pricing. They can get you

any car and get it here. If you have commercial needs, they've got you covered on that. I've got a couple of different companies with us, Travis with Community and others that have gotten like box trucks done. Whatever you're looking to get. Maybe use lease for your kids' first car.

They've got you covered. They can get it done at fairly least. The phone number is not. 972-705-4815. Connor or Nick for Fairlease details. Fairlease.org, 972705. 4815. 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. Let's do the handoff. I don't remember this. And here is the handoff. The handoff. It's been a while. Good to be back. Welcome.

Find yourself entering in the Establish the Run phase, email me. Because we're going to begin with user submissions. Beginning with Ryan and Saxe, who is tired of thanks in advance. I feel like it's a fairly recent epidemic, but I get it once a week now. I come from a time when thanks was earned before they were given. Damn, that's a good point. Nothing makes me want to do something less than if you thank me in advance. advance for whatever thing you would like me to do.

A participation trophy, thanks. I will aggressively not do it if you say TIA. Wow, I've never seen that. I've seen TIA. Okay. But I've never thought about how disrespectful it is. It really is. It is a little condescending.

Oh, am I your slave? Yeah, I need you to do these six things thanks in advance. You've completed the transaction. I'm so sure you're going to do this. Right. And in a way that you want to thank me for. No, sir. Just putting a lot of pressure on you.

Yeah. That's a good one. That's a really good one, Ryan. All right, one more. This comes from Hot Girl Jordan. Says, hello, my Beehive King. I come to you submitting this annoyance that is growing more and more. Apps.

I own expensive fish with high-tech filters and lights. App. Automated watering and fertilization system for my backyard. App. Pay my city utility. App. App. Philips lighting system.

App. App. Vet appointment. App. App. Everything is controlled by an app. Yep, and we got a new sponsor coming up soon. It's going to be appellate.

It's the way of the future, man. Think about it, though. Let me try to sell it to Handoff Guy. It does make all of your discounts easier to keep track of. Yeah, food stuff for sure. Okay. But I went through this where a switched home internet provider, which means get new router and password,

which means you have to update every smart thing in your home. Oh, my gosh. It's all China anyways. Then you got to get the app for the thermostat. Oh, you got to log back in. You got to change the settings. The TV. What, everything.

The, yeah. Wow. The sprinkler system. You're right. Yes, it's just ridiculous. The pool, if you got a pool app, like that controls your pool equipment, that's a beating to get back to your Wi-Fi. Yeah, I guess I'm not doing a ton of that, but.

Your garage door. Ooh, yeah. I don't have the smart garage door, but yeah. I don't either, but I'm just trying to think of all the different. Try dent, folks. Yeah. Do you guys ever just, like, pull up your speed test app and be like, fuck it. Yeah.

I do. Your what test? Your speed test app. Like your... What's speed test? Just to see how fast your home. Fast.com. Yeah.

Oh, okay. Yeah. Sometimes I'll pull up like the ERO app and look at it like it's an old thunderbird. No, when Wire Will first did it, I was checking it every year. couple days or whatever every day. And now it's just always really fast, so I don't check it. All right, those are users. The handoff. All right, now to mine, this was something I witnessed over the holiday break, and I don't like where this is headed, and it involves the fat shot. Now, I don't mind if you need a little

nudge or what have you to lose a little weight. You want to get your protein and get healthy. I'm all for it. But not this. holiday get together, I know this person, and this is where if you've had a major life transformation, the family you haven't seen any year is very surprised. This person had lost 40 pounds, 50 pounds using a shot. And they walk up to him and they say, what happened? How'd you do it?

And I swear to you, knowing he takes the shot, he looked them dead in the eye and said, hard work and determination. Which is not untrue. Those things were involved. If you're getting a little nudge, just admit it. He's not eating celery.

No, listen, I admit it multiple times a month. Gameday.dumzone.com. They have 12 various locations. I'm on peptides. I'm on the tea. I feel like Superman. And if anybody asks me, I will tell them they'll get 10% off TRT for life. I have nothing to hide.

They got some weight loss stuff too there. got some everything stuff. Yeah. I was into the other day and I was like, he's like, hey, how are the 157s? That's a peptide working for rehab and your wrist. I'm like, good. He's like, what do you want to do next? I'm like, yeah, I mean, for me, I'm good.

He's like, but we can do anything, though. You want to be more tan? Just be honest. Yeah, guys are doing stuff. Yeah. Yes. It doesn't matter. Girls are doing stuff.

Like, whatever. We all know. No, that's the main. The main thing is that now guys are allowed to do stuff without being called gay. Finally. Again, men being kept down. It's been happening for decades, for centuries, for eons. People are going to judge you by your appearance anyways.

You look old, you look beaten down. You might as well catch up at gameday.dumzone.com. And when you do, wear it with pride, I'm like this jester. Yeah. How did the person issuing the question? They were impressed, but I had to sit there and bite my tongue a little bit. Oh. Because see, I'm the type of person.

I probably wouldn't do this anymore, but I would ask knowing. You know, that may be a damn move. Oh, did you? You up at the gym? What's the routine? Yeah. Yeah, how are you doing? A big, sort of calorie deficit we are in.

Yeah. So, yeah, if you're going to get a little nudge, don't lie about it. That goes. It's okay. Oh, well. It's all right. All right, my last thing. Smoothies.

Okay. You're not putting smoothies in your crosshairs. Buckle up. Oh, he wouldn't. It's trying to be healthy. I don't like being this guy, but yeah, I'm up at 7.30 at the gym. When you are up that early, trying to sneak a workout in while the family's asleep, and then you've got to get to work.

There are three things that I need in the morning. After the gym, I need protein. At some point, I need caffeine, and I'm going to need a little breakfast. Big smoothie would like to push on you that you can get all three in one. And I believed it. There's a place by my house that had $5 smoothies, my buddy, my buddy, my, Buddy and I would go get one every single day for about a month. It was awesome.

God, the two of you together? You gained 40 pounds. Just smoothie bros, feeling good. Man, that's got to be a lowest. You go work out with a guy? Yeah. That's the only reason I'm there. And then they go get smoothies together.

Do you guys spot each other? Hell yeah. So, if it was just me, I would not go. The alarm would go off and I would snoo, snoo, snoo, snoo, snooze, and then I would just go to work. Okay. But that's fine. But to go on a little date afterward is. Do you guys talk about your favorite?

I mean, you don't ride together, so there's really no reason to have to go to the same place on the way home. Well, $5 smoothies, a good way to start your day. Okay. And it started with an $8 Starbucks, then we're like, oh, look, there's breakfast and caffeine in a little five, whatever, whatever, what have you. I was feeling good. We'd go get our smoothie after the gym.

And then Benny's got a little dairy allergy right now, as babies will have. And so my wife was checking the allergens menu at the smoothie place. You get that if you don't go skin to skin. That's what I've heard, too. I didn't do with Brooks. The smoothie I was getting had 90 grams of sugar. Is that a lot? I mean, a soda that you don't need has 40 or 50.

So this is a double soda just injected in 24 ounces. So it does have protein. It does have, it has all the things it said it has. Yeah. Also, it has a couple of sodas. And it has a highway to diabetes. Yeah, they don't market that. It has a piece of cake in it, too.

Hey, look at this. Healthy smoothie, bullshit. Serving your fruit has 10 to 20 grams is what it says. So, I mean, I don't know. That's the thing about fruit, though. You just kind of have to accept the sugar part, right? It's not the fruit part. Okay.

They add in turbinato sugar, which is just straight sugar. And they just dump it in there. That's what they call it. Turbinato? What is... A type of sugar, yeah. Turbado. What's the medicine for if you have diabetes?

What do you get... Insulin. Well, they should include that, too. Now we just get it all... Throw it all right in there. But the price of that's going up. Yeah, I'll just... I'll ask him to dump a little caffeine in there.

Like, I'll get the smoothie. And I'm like... And they're like... They have that option, right? Yeah, they do. But they make you feel like a crackhead, though. Because they go, yeah, I mean, we just break. open a caffeine pill. I'm like, you don't even have to tell me that.

Yeah, just do it. Just do it. Right. Don't know if I need to feel like we're cooking crank over here. I don't like it. Yeah, I'm sitting there thinking, what a healthy decision I'm making every morning after the gym. Uh, no. No. So no more smoothies for me. Yeah. Handoff guy can't enjoy a smoothie. Even for five bucks. I know. And then my last thing, uh, I want to start doing this. It's called the down on the day.

These are established the guy moves that you make in your life that I want to hear about. I want to share. I have a buddy. Yeah. I just, I love hearing this. And I'll start it. This is something I did last week.

I had to get food for the family for dinners because we had company. Everyone wanted to drink. Hey now. Our nephew is staying with us for a week. Nothing special. Everyone wanted to drink. And when you go get food at places, they'll charge you like $250 for a drink, right?

You're in an upset. For four people you're speaking. And I'm Mr. Eat Out every night, all that kind of stuff. They wanted a fountain drink to go from a restaurant. Yeah. We do not order drinks. I could count on one hand the number of times I've paid for that in my life. That's insane.

You're going to drink water or whatever we got at home. Because the only reason they get it in the event that you do get it is to fill it up four times and get your lick back. You don't get a fountain drink and take it home. No. Yeah, because if you're doing the math. That's psychotic behavior. It's like, it really is. It's $2.50 for a drink if you get four of them, that's the price of a meal.

Pop into Conoco. That's two, two smoothies. So here's my Establish the Run Guy move. I didn't say anything when everyone wanted to drink. Bought a two liter. He probably did. Yeah. I said, okay, look, we're all going to get Sprite.

All right. So then I go get the meals, no drinks. And then I run to my gas. station where I have a chug club membership. It gets even better. I go in there, I get the biggest cup they have, which is a 50 ounce cup. I fill it up with Sprite, take it home, and then just pour it out for everyone to have a sprite.

He's like a mama bird. He goes out and secures his value soda to take home. You don't get ice in that. You fill it all the way up. No ice. But ice in the cups to get more of the Sprite. I applaud this. So thank you.

That's my first down. of the day. I would love to hear yours email me, blake.jones radio at gmail.com. It's really good. That is your handoff. The handoff. Yay. I think that there's a time where we're going to look back at... I love hearing that.

My bad. Here. I think there's a time we may look back at the story he just told as one of the most old man of all time. filling up a value cooler cup at a gas station and redistributing it into other cups at home. I get two free drinks a day. I got to use them. Somewhere Chapmy sheds a tear right now.

Yeah. She's right there. Why don't you bring her in? Show her where to go. Speaking of saving money, Dan. I don't know. I don't. Well, how about community mechanical?

Figured it would work. They can help you save money because they do that preventative maintenance. PM. That's what we like to call it. And it can really save you a lot. Hell, they saved Brandon Aubrey a lot because they went to his house. He had told me that they had another HVAC company come out, tell them they needed all this work.

In fact, they needed to replace their whole system. It was going to be about $15,000. Community Mechanical came out, just as a second opinion. They actually found the problem. They're going, oh, yeah, this is the problem right here. This part will cost us about $100 and then the labor, and so then they were out of there. Saved him thousands, thousands of dollars. So that's how community mechanical can save you money.

Travis at communitydfw.com, and the phone number for you is, I haven't given it in a while. 469, 66777290, CommunityDFW.com. Preventative maintenance is where it starts. Tell a friend about community mechanical, Dan. Okay, I will. Joining us now from Fox 4, Big Fox 4, it is Lori Brown. Hi, Lori. Hi there, how are you?

Reporter Lori Brown. How's it going? How's that couch? People have told us it's the most uncomfortable couch you could ever sit on. It's okay. It's way better than my dust chair. Okay, she doesn't know us well enough yet. Yeah, that's how we know.

We'll gauge whether or not she's being honest going forward, because everybody has said, but we're in the deal where, like, you know if you be on the last month of the lease of your apartment, you don't fix anything up? Oh, yes. That's kind of where we are. That's where we are right now. So, yeah, we're all looking forward to the big pictures in the walls of what's to come. It's beautiful over there. Yes, I hear you that you're going to be joining us when we make the big move.

She sounds super excited. Any relation to downtown Julie Brown? I do share her nickname, but downtown Lori Brown. You got to change the first name. Okay, so you're downtown Lori Brown? Yes, you can call me that. You do cover City Hall and whatnot, right? I do.

You're out there. What were you doing today? The FIFA thing? Today I was a little off my beat. It was FIFA out in Arlington, how they're going to manage to move a million more people in the Metroplex for the nine matches. So they say it's under control. Oh, I'm sure it's fine, right?

Everything will be smooth and perfect. Yeah, don't worry about it. Yeah. We're thinking of leaving during the World Cup. Yeah, trying to rent the house out. Like, just get out of here. Yeah, it's a good idea. They're going to, they were telling people, hey, you know, you can work from home.

Go ahead. So downtown Lori Brown, we want to talk to you because really following your coverage of the MAVs situation and there, potential new stadium site. And then, you know, that, because one of those locations is City Hall, that gets us to, you know, looking at your coverage of that old building and the other things, that's kind of like, I don't know. So before we even get to the Mavs moving, unless they're both just tied together, do, do, does city hall need to be, do they need to get out of city hall? That's the big question. That is the

billion dollar question, as they are now saying, I was looking back at my story from October when the city hall issue first came up and they were saying, oh, it's going to take 50 to 100 million to repair city hall and do the necessary maintenance. And then all of a sudden that number went up to 300 million and now we're hearing it's a billion dollars. And so the question is, and it does seem the Mavericks are the why behind that conversation. And where did that all start? Now the CEO is revealing that it is the city manager who approached him about this option. But that was well before city council members were ever told that their building would be up for sale.

And this is the people's house. So it does have a lot of people in Dallas very concerned. and upset about the process of all of this. Yeah, this is something you had. I took this from your report the other day. This is Rick Welts. Was he president? CEO.

CEO of the Mavs? But he was hired to get them a new stadium. This is what he does. Yeah. He's strong arms communities. Well, to be clear, that's not what happened in San Francisco. Really? I'm not saying that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to do it.

Yeah, I mean. But here's the audio. Anyway, this was caught at the, this is like a local business breakfast or something? Yeah, economic forum. Okay. Listen, over a year ago, city manager told her, came to us and said, look, I got to move out of city hall. I can't afford to operate what we do in that building going forward for the taxpayers. And he said, okay, you know, that doesn't have hanging with us.

But at some point in time, you'll tell us what's available. and then we can sit down and have a conversation about it. So they approached him. He was just sitting. He's just hanging out. It's like, oh, what? Really? Right.

And the timing of it, more than a year ago, where this, that would have been in March of last year. And the first public meetings and public discussions about this didn't happen until October. So there, it raises a lot of questions, Because the way it works is the city manager is supposed to take direction from the city council. She is not entitled to go and start negotiating any city property, much less city hall, the people's house. That direction needs to come from city council. And so a lot of city council members are very upset at that comment because they were not in the loop about these negotiations.

When were they going to have to make a decision by? So when was the lease, what are the terms of? So the MAV's CEO, Rick Weld says that they need to know something by July. The MAVS, too. Yes. Okay. Do the city hall situation have a timeline of we've got a, there's no like S or get off the pop moment with City Hall?

They've been delaying the maintenance for years. So it seems that. I'm just trying to think from the position of the city manager if she would say like, well, yeah, I mean, I, of course I would, what did you think I was doing? This building has been falling apart. I was doing due diligence. I didn't need, you know what I'm saying? like her thought is this is this is what we needed to be doing i was just doing my job right that is the

issues that the proponents of selling city sell in city hall they really point to these years and years and years of deferred maintenance that have now added up to leaks in the parking garage uh plumbing and breaking down and they say that those expenses add up to 329 million dollars in repairs. So a lot of people are pointing to that and saying, well, it would be more cost-effective for taxpayers for us to move out. And no one wants to lose the Mavericks. Everyone wants the Dallas Mavericks to stay in Dallas. So that would be the reasoning for vacating City Hall. And it's kind of like if you cared about it so much, why didn't you care all these years? Right. And then that's what other council members are pointing to is how come we're hearing about

this now. There was a bond recently where there was money originally that was going to be allocated in the bond to go towards city hall repairs and the city council voted to take it out. So, and I am in that city hall building all the time and it is not, it's not this dilapidated broken down building that people who are trying to sell the idea of getting out of city hall. It's not exactly the picture that they're painting. Is it nicer than the Fox 4 building? It is. I mean, I guess because I'm used to the Fox 4 building, that building seems wonderful.

I mean, there are issues, but the city does own it free and clear. So if the city does move, the taxpayers will become renters and tenants somewhere because no one's talking about building a new city hall building. So that's, you know, do you invest in what you have, a paid for a building, or do you become renters somewhere? Could the new city hall be at the American Airlines Center? You know, and then they could just flip back and forth. I mean, hey.

You know, there was a time where they were floating Amazon taking over Globe Life. Right, being a warehouse. Yeah, that it was going to, warehouse and office space. I always say paintball is your best. So back to, okay, so it was like a couple of years ago. Well, I'll get to the couple years ago thing in a second. But just last year, like you said, they were like, I don't know what it's going to cost. Maybe 50, maybe 100 million.

that right there to me always seems crazy. Like, oh, I'm not sure. Spitballing. Like, that's a lot of difference. Right. But if they can just so loosely throw those figures around. So then they finally do a study. And like you said, now they're saying the study is like saying it's $330 million.

And then I saw you interviewing somebody who was saying, yeah, but if I look at their line by line on what the $330 million. is they're saying we need a whole new heating system. We paid $2 million for one of those two years ago. Right. That reminds it like I had to buy my, my daughter had a used car and the engine just died. And we had to get a whole new engine put in for like $9,000. And the next time we went for an oil change, you know, a few months later, whatever, they pulled her aside and said, man, this engine, you know, the next time we went for an oil change, you know, a few months later, whatever.

this engine you could just tell because of this and this and this and it's it's clearly pretty old and we're going to have to do this and uh you're gonna like and she's the one that we met i didn't remember i was like oh man i guess we're going to have to do all this stuff she goes yeah we just got a new engine oh yeah that's a brand new engine so they're just lying they're to try to because i don't know they would have had me and i don't know most people just don't know like oh 330 million okay and then this guy who was around and voted for the two million it's like, wait. So what else is wrong in that estimate, right?

Is that the whole thought? Exactly. The councilman that we talked to said that this cast doubt over the integrity of the entire thing. Because if they spent months in the building inside, they're physically assessing everything. That was their claim. So how did you not realize that this heating system that you're saying needs to be replaced? It was just replaced. And it is still under warranty.

So who is behind? like clearly the MAVs would want that, right? They would want the estimates to be going higher and higher, but who, like, let's figure out who, like, who's the person. Who's commissioned with finding the estimate? I think that the people that have been commissioned, they all do have a financial interest. There's people that stand to benefit from selling City Hall,

or if they're the ones that are chosen to do the repairs, they would likely be the one chosen to do the repairs because they're now the experts. So everyone has this financial tie, all these, this panel of experts. So city council members have said, hey, we want to get a whole new estimate. We want to throw that one out and get an estimate done by a third party who doesn't have any bias or financial conflict of interest in the ordeal. So they just paid what for this one estimate? Now they're going to have to do it again? And that's a good point to you.

Yeah, but that's while wasteful, you'd rather do that. then jump into something, you know what I mean? Like if you've already spent that amount of money and you've got been 2% more to not blow something up. At the end of the day, when you're talking 100 to men, kind of sounds like you're going to have a tough time getting two civic wins here

and retaining the team and the building. There is another option that the Mavericks have stated that they would also be interested in, which is Valley View Mall. And that site really could use something to energize it and there is more space to do some of the hotels and some of the other things that the owners of the Mavericks have indicated that they want more than just a stadium. Oh, well, let's get the owners of the Mavericks more then. This is what bothers me too.

Like, because they want like a 50 acre thing, right? Right. They got to have many acres because this is the old BS about the economic development that a team can bring. Exactly. Yeah. And the 50 acres is what they have said. City Hall is 11 acres. So I'm not entirely sure if this, I mean, it sounds like this is the site that they would really be interested in, but it almost seems like the Valley View Mall might be more conducive to what they're wanting with the size. So where do you see, if you had your opinion, where do they end up? Where do the Mavs end up? It's, I think it is very hard to tell. The city is very closely divided on this issue. There does seem to be enough votes, I think, to go the direction of getting out of City Hall. But the public is very passionate about this in a way that I have not seen in any other city hall story that I've covered in 10 years. there is a there's a huge pushback against getting out of city hall, like giving up city hall. So it will, it'll be interesting to see what happens. Is it because the public loves going to City Hall when they get a jury duty or is it because

Because they love IMPA? No, or is it because they, the MAVs traded Luca? Well, I think that could have a lot to do with it also. I mean, people have had broken hearts over the Mavericks. And so if Luca was still at the Mavericks, would this have a different feel in this debate? It probably would. Yeah, I don't think, I mean, I'm probably way too hot takeish here. I don't think the AAC, I think the Mavs would be staying in the AAC because I think Cuban would still be a lot more involved.

Cuban being out is it's now looked at as like, oh, yeah, that's why it was allowed to happen. But I'm saying a world where Luca is still here, Cuban's still involved. Cuban was very good at keeping things kosher with the stars and with working things with the city. Yeah, them new owners came in. They don't care. They're fighting the stars right away. They're pulling out old contracts going, oh, look, look who's in Frisco. There's no chance that they team up together and get a stadium together, isn't there? With the stars?

No, it's very icy in that relationship. Stars are definitely going to be Frisco. I think it's all, it's Plano and, yeah, the Willow Bend Mall there. But I don't think, there's not anything set in stone yet on that deal either. And some have even suggested that the Mavericks could consider that location either. But that could just be some bargaining power. Ooh, we might not go to Valley View. We might go to Plano instead.

Oh, that the Mavs are looking at that site too. That's the rumor. Like if you're Plano, do you try to bid on that, try to get the Mavs up there? I would think so. I mean, there might be some residents that push back about traffic and things, but it would be smart for them to do that. I don't know if it's just changed, but it feels like Stars fans are upset about the thought of the move as well, even though they have a lot of northern fans. Yeah. Like they like a night out and driving downtown type thing.

The AAC kind of feels like the legacy extension of reunion. The AAC is awesome. The problem is, though, it's not a problem, but it's a problem for the rich owners. Because they want to own everything around it, like we said. Or I don't know, did we overtly say that? Like, Ross Perot owns all the stuff around the AAC right now, right? That's who's profiting from all of that development. But so, yeah, the new owners are like, we want our own.

Yeah, at a basketball arena is not enough right now anymore. They want something that can generate year-round revenue and is a casino on the horizon. I mean, there's a big push to get the state law changed in that regard, and these are casino owners. So there's that piece of the puzzle, too. How was the house party in Salina? Oh, that was crazy. We talked about it on our show.

Yes. You actually went to that party. I was drinking. Yeah, I think I saw the movie, 21 Jump Street with a lady. No, I don't know. Just got the video. It was not my video. Wait, so there is.

I didn't see, I saw the story on Fox 4's website, but so there's video from inside the party. Is that what you're saying? Yes. Okay. How'd they get that? Just kids postings? Yes. The age of social media.

Yeah. Cell phones, lots of people. But yeah, that was crazy. I mean, I do feel bad for the owner. But at the same time, it is, it's a perfect location for a party house because there were, there are no neighbors directly next to. A lot of field. Yeah, it is.

It is, there's probably been quite a few parties there that people have not noticed because of the empty parking lot for the college across the streets on the weekends and the, the lack of proximity to other neighbors. Well, downtown Julie Brown, it's great to meet you. Great to have you on the show. We'd like you to continue to update us, perhaps. Sure thing. Thanks for having me. And we have a gift. We have a parting gift that we kind of give to all our guests.

Now, I'm giving you this. we're giving you a Yeti and that is a book Now the reason I'm giving you that book Where are you from downtown? This is expensive I tried to find this years ago And I could not

Have you? Okay, you've never read it This is great I'm so glad to have it That is the accommodation by Jim Schutz Didn't TC print off a PDF of that? Yes Okay so a buddy of ours

Years, like you said It was out of print because of John Wiley Price there's a whole backstory but a buddy of ours found it on the web and then printed off like all the whatever a big PDF and it was great and then yeah I think

then it turns out I don't know how Jim shoots ended up we had him on the show but he ended up getting a bunch of copies made and we have a bunch of those and the reason specifically that I thought you'd be interested in that, I actually thought you'd probably already read it, was I was talking to another buddy of ours, Philip Kingston, and he said when you first came to town, you asked him for a little roadmap of like, hey, how about some books about Dallas I could read? I want to get to know my new,

you know, so it doesn't seem like I'm from Orlando or wherever you were working before. Right, yes, exactly. So yeah, he just, he told me that and I thought, oh, okay. Yes. We actually do. We have this huge box of these books. We give them. to every one of our guests, but actually you're the first person that might actually read it. Yes, I will. Thank you so much. It's a fun tale. When I tried to find it, it was like $200 or more. Yeah, let's do a book review. We'll have you back for the book review. All right. Sounds good.

All right. Thanks to Julie Brown. Thank you. Born on this day, not alive anymore. Frederick Douglass. Debates. I don't know what that means. You've never heard of the Lincoln-Douglas debates? Like, Abraham Lincoln or Frederick Douglass debated like half a dozen times or something.

And it was like a healing moment for the nation. It's thought of as like one of the high points of discourse. And you know what? Wait, I'm 100, I'm 100% wrong. Golly. Were you not going to say anything? What is it? it. So what was it?

It's Douglas, but it's not. Now, who is the Douglas? Stephen Douglas. Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas were, like, very close. This is our lowest. I do know that. No, it's not. It is. This is the worst moment we've ever had. Yeah, but you thought.

I thought they debated. That there are public debates between a white man and a black man in 1850. Frederick Douglass was like a public intellectual. Yes, I know. Okay, so I'm just saying, like, it was not impossible that he was. could have been involved in a debate. He was friends with Abraham Lincoln. We had Liz Brunig on, and for like a little bit, we did a respectable show.

A little bit of legitimacy. We were okay for a little bit. So he debated someone named Douglas, but it wasn't about... Stephen, yeah, from whatever. Am I wrong that Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln were friends? Just keep going. You have to read the next birthday. You're listening to The Dumb Zone.

I love everything about that. That was really good. Yeah. And it was the day we had Liz Brunigan telling us about the death penalty and being in the room. One of America's most venerable feature writers, a magazine

virtuoso. You know, you're idiots. You didn't know. At least you called you foul. And I called for that audio today because that'll make more sense in viewer mail. Oh, which we are getting to, um,

yeah, we're getting to it in a moment. I just want to mention we'll be out at the ballpark tomorrow. Oh, yeah. Lot D. Blake wants to start early. Mm-hmm. I want to see McGinsey Gore's first pitch. Blake has to see the actual first pitch of the game.

Or else it doesn't count. Some teacher for the home opener. Oh, to throw out the first pitch? Oh, that's a good call. Ice is Queen. Why teacher? Are they having a moment? What are we doing?

Nah, but that's a default. Like, we don't have any big names. Let's get a Texas Ranger out there. It'd be so Rangers to have an ice agent throughout the first page. Okay. Christy Gnome? What's with hers? Lean into it.

Husband, cross-strette. What are we doing here? Yeah, dude. A tomahawk missile. Yeah. I don't even know. I just know there's a fake Christy gnome at my gym in the morning. And a fake Janus.

Yonis was asking if he could use my... A station today. Yeah, her husband was, or I don't know, was, it was, whatever. She's, he was dressing up like a lady and hanging out with ladies dressed like a lady. Did Janus call you chief? Big dog, Bubba? He's not, but the parking guy here calls me boss. I really didn't.

Does he call you boss too? No. I'd feel better if he did. This morning he said, hey, your grub is here. He did. For the Waterburger? I told you guys if you want to get his attention. I know he's putting me down.

If you want to get his attention. But he has a gun. Wear a shirt with a wrestler on it. He likes that. Did you have a wrestler shirt? I have a shirt with the rock on it. Hell yeah. Why?

Since when? Reglect. He wore it the other day. Why would he have to wear the fake breasts while chatting online? Like? Method acting. I'm not sure. Well, I'm pretty sure the Qualis drone won't be with us tomorrow.

But I want to promote Qualis roofing. They have a drone. What? They're in Arlington. Yeah. Is the Qualis drone going to be with us? At the bus, we're going to be in Lot D, 11 a.m. for the game. 11 to 2-ish.

Jim Knox from the Fox Box will be there as well. But, yeah, our appearance there tomorrow will be brought to us by QualisGC.com. 817 500, 900, 908. You got a commercial building? They'll take care of that. Where they just record commercials? Mm-hmm. Or you're just saying a, like a business.

Either way, let's say that your commerce is commercials, they'll fix the roof there. Clay tile, composites, metals, whatever you need, they got you covered. Of course, you can have it. Free inspection, right? Free inspection. That's really all. And if you get that free inspection, they'll give you a dump. zone t-shirt.

And if you get a roof, they'll give you a sit-in. They'll deal with the insurance company for you. It's Qualisroofing at QualisGC.com. Oh, yeah, wait a minute, Uncle Hotmail. I'm trying to think of other comedians who have like a hook. I just want to get a comedian drop page. Yeah, yeah. We could get that together.

I'm going to start with one that was sent to us quite a few times. We played this audio for you, the other. day. It's from NFL live out at the coaches meetings and Shottie sat down with ESPN. So far you're in the minority. A lot of our coaches that have visited us

have had to wear sunglasses. They can't deal with the pain of looking into the sun and the TV lights. You apparently are tougher than most. This is a true story, Laura. My father taught me as a young coach. Coaches do not wear sunglasses. I love this. Wow. Okay, so

okay, so I was like, but You know, we're in San Diego, right? And I'm like, whoa, it's bright outside. It's like, the players have to see your eyes when you're coaching them. Tomlton can wear the tint advisor, but you can't wear sunglasses. It's Marty Schottner. So, but literally, honestly, true story. I was like, okay, makes sense.

You know, because when you're correcting, they're criticizing. Yes. They're like, I want to see your eyes. So it's pretty cool. So it's pretty cool. I love that. The thing I said, pretty cool. The other coaches might do it, but I'll never change.

No, because it's pretty cool. It's pretty cool. Because his dad taught him. So we heard from a number of people, including Lance Forehead, was listening to the shot he o in the pod today about his dad not wearing sunglasses. And I thought, what an amazing ironic note. It would be to find a photo of Marty in sunglasses to contradict his really cool, true story. And lo and behold, the top two Google image results are Marty wearing sunglasses,

and one of them is even during a game in San Diego. Always kicked the four-pointer D.F. Lance. The thing about that is he didn't search Marty Schottenheimer sunglasses. He did not. He searched Marty Schottenheimer. And hit images. And over half of the images are him wearing sunglasses on the field. Whether it's practice or a game that is time when you're instructing players,

the whole thing was a lie, a complete lie. My buddy Mason texts me last night. Less than 10 minutes after hearing the shoddy audio, I'm at the sports bar with the fellas, and Marty hasn't taken his sunglasses off. This is just on NFL network last night. Some listener happens to look up, and he's like, you know, I don't see Marty a lot.

And it seems like when I do now, he has sunglasses on. So what are we to make of this? Who knows? Shottie loves just spinning on a yarn. He does. I got one on Cuban. So that's pretty cool. Oh, this is Cuban slash Blake.

All right? Why am I? Okay. Dear Purvis Ellison of the cervix speculum, best I could do. Why do you guys give Cuban a pass you would never give Jerry? He's a tech bro who made his money off pirated radio streams during the stupid money of the dot-com bubble. is a major innovator on such notable products as HDNet and Cyberdust. He wasted the end of Dirk's Prime.

He hired Nico. He hired Kid. He sold to warmongerers. Worse than that, he sold to a baby Huey Dufus who doesn't know basketball. He had to sell because he lost an S ton of money on crypto scams. He's such a business genius that he didn't bother to get his role in basketball operations in writing. he's just as at fault as anyone, even if he does give Corby courtside seats to buy his loyalty.

Damn. Dang. Also, last week when the mom game was on, you started singing Copa Cabana and asked Blake if he knew the song. He was his typical annoyed self, but he should have known it immediately in Friends Season 2, episode 24, the one with Barry and Mindy's wedding. Yeah.

What happens? I know Rachel sings it a lot Rachel sings it during the wedding reception He says clearly He is not a real fan And I am gay From Matt What was the first thing he said

Also what When the mom game was on Yeah that's why I couldn't finish my sentence And then I have one that's an actual gay not gay E says I often use a nail file too because I was saying last week I used a nail file to open your sardines

and then he says gay or not gay knowing that it's called an emery board ooh yeah I don't like that at all got a couple quick hits here after a story we did about a guy who got busted Justin asks Arpito's keeping thumb drives in business

doesn't seem like you really ever hear about him until somebody gets busted for lewd images. Thumb drives used to be a thing, man. I had five on me at all times. Keep that thing. What if I need to store something? Yeah, some people would have them on their keychain. Oh, yeah, sure.

Give them away to corporate conference. Now those are all full of nothing but child porn. That's a great call. And speaking of that, our weekly contributor British Joel says, you mentioned last week the British Mr. Rogers

and hearing that he was a wronging. I never thought about the fact that they do that, too. I've heard baddens. Are we the baddens? He used the term wronging. I heard you say he was a wronging. Like wronging?

Yeah. Like doing something wrong? Yeah. Okay. You're talking about Sir Jimmy Seville. He was a radio DJ TV personality, and he was everyone's eccentric granddad. After his death, turned out he was more like the British Jerry Sandusky. I'm 45.

I remember his show. Jim will fix it. Where kids, including myself and my sisters, wrote to him asking for various wishes, like meeting a famous person or going on a submarine or being a pilot for a day. Each week he would have them on the show and grant their wish. At the end, Jim would give them a medal that said, Jim fixed it for me. Every kid wanted to be on the show and to get one of those medals.

Somehow not until after he died did it surface that evidently Jim used this as a way to lure and then prey on kids. So luckily, Jim never fixed anything for me. Damn. So it's a make-a-wish scheme or program, and he's just using this as a recruiting thing, right? So I looked this guy up. And Joel is correct in pointing out,

this stuff was not news until this guy died in 2012. But if you go back through his life, in 1974, he published an autobiography where he kind of alludes to the fact that he's got some different sexual interests. And in the 60s, there were two allegations made against him. But for the most part, this was pretty under the rug. The minute he dies, though, there's enough there to where they start doing, like,

investigative programs. And I found this audio of this guy, Jimmy Siffield, the British Mr. Rogers, talking about Gary Glitter. Now, why? Why is he talking about what he loves about the chorus? of We Will Rock you? Or is he standing at the defense and coming

to arms for a brother? All he did was to set his computer into PC World to get repaired. And they went into the hard drive, saw all these dodgy pictures, and told the police, and the police then, oh, we've got a famous person.

Oh, my goodness, yeah, we'll have them. But, Gary. Okay, he said he took his computer into PC World, and he They saw they've got loads of these pictures on here, and he's got a famous person. So where am I going to go get Gary in trouble? He's like not addressing the friend. I'm going to go get one in trouble?

Gary. Gary Glitter is a longtime pedophile, if you didn't know the context here. He's been on the run. The guy who wrote the stadium song, Ramp, Ramp, Rown, that guy, pedophile. He's been living in Asia forever or was. Not sold it. Not to sell them. That's his defense.

Wait, I didn't hear what is he said? He didn't sell any of them. Oh. Not sold it. You're not trying to sell them. Not to show them in public or anything like that. It would bring up to the wrong. It's, of course, it's up to the person.

Now, is he that judging Larry Glitter against himself in that, look, I'm physically doing stuff to these kids? Basically. And he's seeing a guy. that he wishes he could just control it to where he could just look at pictures? It might be. And so he's like, look, this guy ain't that bad. Seriously. Yeah, he calls them.

I know. Like, it could be worse. It might be that, yeah, by extension. Because this is well before his death. But they didn't do anything up, but they are then demonized. And, of course, if you have said to a couple, I've got to get them to the world of them. They just sat down watching these dodgy.

Dogy films. Okay, you can't really make it out there, but that's his take on it, is that we're demonizing him for watching these dodgy films. Just watching movies. A little bit dodgy. It's a little. So this is their Mr. Rogers. I'm really glad that ours made it through clean.

If ours had stuff, I think you'd absolutely know, right? Joel also had a movie baby type thing, which is catching somebody falling over a balcony kind of with one hand. Like somebody starts to fall and you can catch him. He said, I can maybe do this with my daughter, but there's no way the average human could hold another adult prolonged for a period of time. What about one arm?

Yeah, it's just no way. No ways. Thanks to Joel. We should try to recreate. I'll bet you somebody has recreated that, right? Just off one story or something. Like, let's just pretend that you're falling off this cliff and I need to get you up. Yeah, it's MythBuster Z.

If you have any gummy thoughts, it's brought to us by Early Bird CBD, where you would go to earlybirdcbd.com, and then we have a code, DumbZone 20. Single use discount, good for 20% off at Early Birdcbd.com. It is, what is it, 12.5 milligrams of CBD in each gummy, but they add 2.5 milligrams of natural THC. So the THC is the stuff that triggers the drug test. It's the good stuff, folks. That's right. It's what's been in the news. So if you want a perfectly legal and perfectly natural and you just want to feel good, get a little early bird CBD. Says here, put a smile on your face. We've never seen that on Blake. Wouldn't that be great? We're not there when he takes his.

We do know that he takes his. So that's probably when that's happening. Yeah. Matt Grimm had a gummy thought that I'm not going to read the whole thing, but I think there's something to it. Why don't we count the calories that we poop out? Wow. When it comes to calories, you're like, okay, I burn some calories.

You burn 600 according to your phone. Right. You know, like, oh, I took in $2,200. I burned something. And then it says, like, in the day I burned. But also, I got rid of something. So. It's a good point.

he says how many calories the shit have nobody knows but eat your broccoli and enjoy a free extra 10 pound weight loss annually it's got to be something to it have you ever had the gummy thought of how do I have responsibility for a life a human life in my hands like Clayton says no okay that's why I take the early bird CBD

yeah right but there's nothing to do that There's nothing as Gummy thought than just having a kid. No doubt. I think less than just being responsible for them, and maybe you're kind of saying the same thing. And this is why, like, I don't know, sometimes I wish we could talk about this stuff more and not feel weird.

But, like, I don't think of myself as religious, but I am like a spiritual person. Like, I go to, to me, A.A. is, like, going to church. I don't have any certain views on how things were created or whatever, but I'm not opposed to that idea. To me, it's when I just look at my kids and I cannot comprehend creation. Like, I cannot understand. Okay, I got, I'm alive.

It makes absolutely no sense to me that even though we took some shortcuts that involved, like, some science, that my thing that I've been wasting into socks my whole life, combined with whatever she's got going on there, results in a thing that dribbles a basketball with me now. that you'll never be able to sober stoned mushrooms anything it's just different varying ways of computing the fact that you have that kind of power and that's why frankly in my opinion I need

the concept of a higher power because otherwise it's very easy not to feel like holy shit like I maybe the only person like you created a life yeah but you get humbled on that pretty quick when you realize so did that girl at the high school prom and the bathroom

Yeah, I guess that's true But I still think when you look at him When they talk about the miracle of the... Yeah, but everyone can kind of do it. Yeah, it still doesn't... Is it a miracle? When they start talking, it's still just... It's trippy.

I told Jared this whenever we had him on after he had his. The feeling that the hospital, leaving the hospital for the first time and you're going home. Like, I didn't think we were, we should have been allowed to take the baby home. We don't know. anything. Why are you trusting us? Right.

I know it's ours, but still, I don't know what to do. You know more than you think. You know more than you think, and that's the thing. There's a lot of trial in air. You learn not to shake it after a while. For sure. You learn how high up you can throw it off and it'll make it. Right. But you're culturally raised. You've seen enough shit on TV where it's like, this is what you do. And honestly, that's a big part of it. that's that that's just you're being the same way that an animal in the wild watches the other animals do it for a while and then figures it out i think that's basically what now a lot of people don't get anybody else to watch or you know they don't they have a kid too early and what other animal does skin to skin

i guarantee that's a great point no it's not great point that's actually a backwards bad point i promise you most animals do some version of skin to skin that's like not a problem them for them. Yeah, but they don't cuddle it saying, oh, this will be good for our relationship in five years. Collins' gummy thought is in this country, we value and respect sports with the word ball in the name. Football, baseball, basketball. We do not value or respect sports without ball in the name to the same degree. Soccer, golf, hockey. Would those sports, we do not respect, be more valued if they started to colloquially go by their name plus ball? I'm going to go watch some hockey ball. Doesn't make any sense, but it sounds cool. Interesting.

Brian gave me a why Hillary loss. I'm going to turn down. He saw the bathroom on a golf course labeled the comfort station. Oh, no. And I understand the desire to be like, that's gay. But I don't think it is. I think it's just letting you know that in here you can just get comfy. That's because you're not golf guy. Like, it's the last thing that men have left.

Call it the piss hole. We had comfort stations at Vicaro. I had to stock them with delicious treats. See, to me, the comfort station doesn't imply, hey, maybe you and your boyfriend can come in here and goes, it really more implies to me, like, there may be a towel, there may be mouthwash, you know. Maybe you need a power bar for the back nine.

I might. That's all comfort. Yeah, you get that at the concession stander, the cart girl, not the comfort zone. You didn't read Brian's sign-off. No, I have the other part of it. Is it the one in the vein of quicksand? No, his sign-off is sincerely. Oh, go for it.

He just signs it with Kanye 2028. That's true. He did. But he also sent me another one. I heard Kanye's back. That's the only reason I wanted to bring that up. Have you heard something about a new Kanye and it's great? No, I hear it.

Yeah, there's a new. Or is this April Fool's. No, I know there's a new album, but I don't. I've listened to most of it. I haven't listened to us. Thumbs up, down, medium. It's a mixture. There's some old Kanye,

to it. I just saw someone on a Reddit posted, there's like a funny line in there that has like something about Dan's dad. Oh, interesting. I just saw online chatter that Kanye's back. I'm here for it. Okay. I mean, if it's good music,

it's, I'm in. I, honestly, if it's good music, even if it's about like, you know. If those kids at the Stars game. Really offensive things. Put out good music. You'll probably listen to it. I just need you to do the soul samples again. But no, Brian's email that I thought was good. even if the why Hillary lost wasn't.

He said in the vein, this is schoolyard myths. That's what I want to start calling these. QuickSand, the Bermuda Triangle, your dad's friend who had... A lot of Bermuda Triangle talk when I was a kid. Dude, I still don't get it. I still feel like that faded away, and my kids have never heard of the Bermuda Triangle. That's what they want. Too many people were on to them on that.

Your dad who had to register his arms as deadly weapons. Uh, here's one. Cause Soroy was talking about the next snap. This is the one that I was more familiar with that Brian points out the nose cave. Yes. Yeah. The bottom of your palm into the nose. Like that was when I was in junior high, the way that you would learn, dude, such and such.

You can push it right into a brain. You'll just die. Yeah. Just cave it in. And like, because if you think about when you get punched in the nose, how that feels, it kind of feels like you're getting hit in the brain. It feels like that's inside. So that was a big one.

And you had to do it, Dan, with the bottom of your palm in an upward motion. Yeah. And it was kind of like... Yeah. Yeah, we had splinter cell teach us that in the video game. We just go around doing that. That was a good one. I've got to follow up about me pitching to my nephew's team.

This comes from Brett, and it comes with a warning. He said that his dad was the greatest coach pitch guy in the Metroplex. In fact, the only reason that this guy made all-star teams is so his dad, dad would pitch to the team. That's pretty great. He said, though, that when he did start kid pitch, and his first at bat, I wore a ball right in the eye because I'd never learned to get out of the way of a wild pitch.

Oh, wow. That at bat ruined me forever. Just wanted to say, you can make or break your nephew's entire team's baseball future, so no pressure. Wow. Start dingin a couple of them? Yeah, you should hit him now and again. Run it inside a little bit.

That black is yours. Yeah, I mean, I feel like if you get ahead, if you get ahead, walk them off a little bit, you know, just let's see what they've got. I did get a lot of correspondence saying that I should go with the beer pong method. Just a little. It's a consistent, just like the ball never. I was even going to say underhand, but it's straight. They're going to learn to take the break pits, though. Can I tell you guys?

It should be on a T still. I'm very self-conscious to say this because I know everything I say, you guys are going to be like, That sounds like somebody who does like an idiot would say. That is the problem. I've always worried, like, I couldn't, the short distance. Like, it's kind of like watching a pitcher. There was a couple of fielding errors yesterday that were atrocious, like pitcher fielding airs.

That's basically my whole thing is, like, how far away am I? How hard can I throw? There's no way that I could stand that far away where Blake was and deliver that every time with a normal throwing motion. I think you'd have to do something. It's like shooting on an, eight-foot goal. You're going to miss. Do you know what I mean? If you play basketball and you go out and start shooting on a seven

or eight-foot goal, it won't feel right. I do you have to train yourself to place it. There's something to that because playing first base in baseball my whole life, like 12 years, the pitcher to first base throw was always the one that got messed up because the distance is way off for the pitcher. And their motion and they're just like, that's just me all the time. It was the one you were showing us the other day, trying to throw them out at home. But yeah. So you were just throwing regular.

Well, I'm going to throw regular because that's how you throw a baseball. They're going to be seeing a person throwing them. They're not going to be seeing this little, let me call Island real quick. But I've seen other coaches in this league do that. I would do the other coach thing. I think it's more important to consistently have the ball over the plate. What if you're not consistent? Well, is that your problem?

Are you? Their problem. They're sitting there. trying to do this and then it'll bounce in. It'll... It's all over the place. No, I just, I want to scoot back and fire it in there. Would they let you throw it from like second?

No. Seek it really? Well, I mean, it's just behind the rubber, so I don't know. I heard from a couple of people who are pretty disappointed in me, this one from Manuel. He says, you can't be kind of Mexican looking and not know Selena more in depth. Are you kind of Mexican looking? Dan is white and his enunciation. of her last name is expected and very spare,

but I expect more from you, adjacent Mexican man. This guy's my age. It's pretty close. He says, in regard to her hotness, I was four when she died, and she remains the first woman I ever fell in love with. I don't know if that's possible at that age, but she was clearly hot,

and I don't think I'm alone. Then J-Lo played her in her biopic. He said, confirmed from a mid-city's 34-year-old Hispanic man, Selena had fastball brough. I just, to me, she's very small. You don't see a lot of really famous Latina stars that are mousy. She's like, you know, Salinita.

She's not very big. Got one from Alyssa. This is back to Little League. Force the left-handed at bat. Yeah. We did it with my son, but then after a couple seasons, he switched to Ritey. It didn't hurt. That seems to be the common refrain.

She said, we held our son back. He's a July baby. Also, as a former kindergarten teacher, you'll never regret holding them back. That sucks, man. Everybody says, just do it. Just do it. Why just give your kid more time? Why not?

There's more time. I mean, like, start thinking of the negatives, and it's really just stuff that's kind of perceived. Like, oh, God, that feels weird to hold back their development. You're like, all right, well, what if you were just giving them more development? Like, yeah, but don't you want them to start their life? Like, well, yeah, they're going to do that anyways, so I bet one more year wouldn't make. I'm not going to do this, and I'm still going to judge people that do. But I'm telling you that if you really start to think about it, if you have the economic means to do it, why wouldn't you?

Like The school is the one deciding The state has decided 12 years is the amount That they should go to high school Living your The real is not science Don't you feel like

The Montessori way Is probably the right way But it's just impossible to Administer at scale for sure Implement it's yeah Because Every kid does learn differently Everybody

Dude and I've known this forever You've known this Any parent knows this When it comes to standardized testing Parent or Student This is a big part what the parents I talk to complain about is that the testing is

doesn't make any sense because if a kid is like there's the way that it's set up hey this kid only missed one question on this test well the next test he might have only missed one but because the subject material was different they can't really measure any growth or perhaps the teacher

hadn't got to that part of the test and they had to be tested on all this minutia but the point is there's probably no good or perfect answer short of the Montessori one which is just, I don't know, let the kid figure it out. So all the answers are going to be bad, I guess, but the problem is that the funding is tied to those test scores.

So they actually matter, like, you know, NBA media votes and all NBA type thing. Like, this is how the money gets decided. Alyssa also says batting cages is good to take your kids. They see the big kids hit. That's what you were saying, Blake. I'm building my platform on it. Watching you play softball helps your kid. You can go and don't use the machine.

just go in there and let the coaches pitch. But then, you know, they're going to want to be those other kids who are using the machine. She says, we, she now is going on to her, you know, ladies, they want to tell you all about them. We live in Chappie's Old Hood in West Summerlin. We are the family that surfed with Rodrigo. Hey. Now our kids will go there a couple times a year. That's Alyssa.

That's incredible. Yeah, Summerlin outside of Vegas. Is that who first turned you on to Rodrigo? to tell it to that's our surf guy right yeah either they turned us on to him or we turned them on to them oh okay because a couple people did ask me when dan and i they and i learned to surf that day are we still doing nine eleven memorials yes it sounds like you're advocating for forgetting which is something that both me him and him would never do you're right i needed a little kick in the pants there's a picture in there clayton um they tried to put a kneeling firefighter in between

these twin towers. Oh dear. It kind of looks like a weiner. That looks just like a weiner. And this has been... Oh, so like that's supposedly the firefighter's jacket? Yeah. That's that texture.

Yeah, and his helmet on top. With a big vein in it? We were talking recently about... My little fireman. We were talking about Nielsen ratings and PPM and all that. And how ratings are. work and our good friend Truitt. It must have been at the airport

because he also emailed and said don't wear your dumb zone or your no puppet hammer and sickle shirt to the TSA line. Oh really? Does that get pulled aside? He said he did. I've never felt comfortable with the hammer and sickle dumb zone hat.

Okay, that's a bitter revisionist history. Raymond. What do you mean? I just like the black. Well, I loved it, but remember saying this is not going to sell we shouldn't sell this and I could be remembering it wrong but you being like what's the big deal and me saying this is probably going to be a big deal then we started getting emails for people the problem is the same thing that makes it a big deal is the reason why the people that have them are obsessed with them like I have a buddy who got one of the Fidel Castro looking oh yeah no puppet

hats the military head November 7th 2023 Jake is against the hammer and sickle no puppet logo God, it feels good to have him sometimes. Not often, because it usually works the other way. Truitt says, I sold TV advertising in Amarillo for a couple years for about a decade ago for a station that carried NBC and Fox. So he's in TV sales. I was sent a Neelson TV diary in the mail, and instead of throwing it away, like the instruction said if you work in the industry, I kept it, and I filled it out.

My wife and I watched 16 hours a day on both networks, hitting the target demos for the appropriate shows. When we got our ratings back at the station, there was an increase across the board for our station, and everyone was elated. A big meeting was had with the sales team to call our agent buyers and share the good news. I never told anyone while I was there,

but I figured y'all might get a kick out of it. And we're people who, I don't know if this lands away with you guys like it does for us, but I mean for me dude there was a point where like the range of my salary was variable by about 40% based on bonuses it was not a small number between like if we had getting up like number one the number for me it was three but it was a lot of money a quarter and you'd be barely off or barely above sometimes you're like fuck that's one guy that's one guy that's one guy who got too old.

And they're like, well, you know. Yeah. Oh, shit. Well, I guess we're not selling. We can't give you that bonus because we can't sell it but for as much. Well, if you believe that? I don't believe it ever. Oh, we're going to go lower the rate.

No, no. That point four that cost you $4,000. Do you think they sold advertising for less that quarter? No, I don't. I know that they didn't. But shout out to Truitt, though. That's the Mamba of the day right there for taking advantage that situation.

And then I have two more. This comes to us from Ryan. We were talking about the Oscars the other day, and we were talking about the Native American that accepted the award for, was it for Marlon Brando? Yeah, best actor. So. You know who watched that speech, Picasso.

He did. Watched the Native American accept the award. Right. And he added the background, his Kareem Abdul, 100 point photo that he had frame put up in the back. So let's see here, here it is. Okay.

So I said when that happened, I was like, damn, dude, if I ever win anything, I want to do this. Like, I'm going to find a Native American. And you guys suggested that when I got like Dallas columnist or something from DMAC, I should just have a native give the statement for me. And Ryan was quick to point out, Norm McDonald has already done this. But Norm MacDonald did it when Melissa McCarthy asked him to accept an award for her. So Melissa McCarthy knew that she wasn't going to be at this thing and thought her bit would be funny to get Norm to do it. And this was Norm's bit.

And it's just the audio, but he walks out with a guy in a headdress. He's just Norm McDonald. Thank you. Thank you. But I am sorry, I cannot in good conscience accept this award. on behalf of Melissa McCarthy. I instead have chosen to give my time to a friend who has something very important to say.

My name is Johnny Two Feathers. While you enjoy tonight's show, I want you to think about something. The spot where you're sitting, every square foot of ground in this country was stolen from my ancestors. And after you stole it, you murdered them. So you'll forgive us if we do not laugh along.

There's nothing funny about the extermination of a people. The theater stinks of blood. That's all I have to say, both. Johnny two-settlers, everybody. Johnny two-cathes. Give me away, Johnny. I was blown away that I'd never heard that, dude. How have I never heard that?

And what a bit. Like Melissa McCarthy had a good bit of being like, I'll get Norm to do it. do it for me. He'll do something funny. He'll do something funny. And he calls John, dude, the line that got me was, you'll forgive us if we don't laugh. And then they laugh. They're laughing at the country. But then there's some nervous laughter in the middle. They're like, okay, this is going a little far. The theater stinks of blood. All right, I got one from Byron, who Blake knows. Yeah. He says, I've been listening to you for a long time.

And much like Lee Corso, I'm just here to help the show. You commonly refer to people you think are idiots as, and he says, you say trog delights. I found an example of me using this word. Let's pull this up, Blake. Here you go. The ticket was always kind of a different, you know, Gordon would write articles about his stuff. So I think it's because we're viewed as these like trogdelite fucking morons who can't talk about our feelings. Okay, you got a nice little gratuitous curse in there too.

He says you use this word every time you mispronounce it. You say trogdolites instead of troglodytes. It's especially ironic that you make yourself sound so dumb while trying to insult someone else's intelligence. This is the dumb zone dumbness. Then he brings up something pretty interesting. this brings me to a potential conversation topic. How do you handle it when your partner regularly mispronounces a word?

Is it kinder to call them out on it and risk the short-term fight that's sure to ensue with the hope that they might avoid a potentially embarrassing moment in the boardroom or with their next smarter partner? Better to do it in the moment or wait for an opportunity. Would it be different in a new relationship? I would appreciate getting a female opinion on the matter as well. So can't help you there.

But he said from Blake's favorite domino partner, Byron. So it's, uh, the word is apparently troglodyte, which I have never, I think I've never heard another person say. I've only read it. Mm-hmm. But in my ultimate insecurities of trying to overstate my vocabulary, so people will think I'm smart, I picked a word for people who do that very thing and then mispronounced

it, thereby exhibiting the essence of my entire existence. Um, but the, uh, show matriarch. the only 80-year-old female I know have listening, Rosalie, says, vandalization is a perfectly acceptable word for vandalized. Dan should know better than to correct your vocabulary. Oh. How about that, Dan? So you didn't go to Miriam Webster or you went to Rosalie's email.

I went to a lady who's 80 years old. Yeah, she would know. Oh. Mine's not playing Blake, but if you, it's okay. I don't meet you anymore. It's okay. Maybe your cough button is pushed. We're good. The point is you, I'm one for two.

Well, I don't know that I'm willing to say, oh, okay, I guess I'm wrong because Rosalie said so. That's how we're doing things now? Yes. Rosalie show. Oh, all right. You play it. Yeah, sure. It's the Rosalie show.

I mean, that's not going to convince him. He has had his bus vandalized in the colony twice. windows smashed out. He thinks that this is targeted vandalization. Vandalization? What did I say? Is that a word? Vandalization?

No, is it not? Vandalizing? Vandalism? Vandalism? Yeah, probably so. There you go. Sorry. God, what a little P. I am.

Just walked right there. Yeah, Mr. D. You were always the smarter one. Sorry. I hope I didn't bother you. Did I get it right now? What a baby. What a trog delight.

All right. There you go. The news today. Brought us by Ponson. Whoa. You know what I was about to say? Poncho. Okay. Let's do it.

Pancho outdoors.com slash dumb zone. Make sure you get both those O's in there. Enter your email. Get $10 off your first order. The best shirt. Summer's coming up. This poncho's got stuff for all year round, but I feel like spring and summer is really where they cook.

They got the SPF 15. built into the shirt. The collar stays straight. You don't have to iron it. Hey, did you know this bit? If you're a sweaty effing pig like me, it doesn't look so bad. You don't see all the gross sweat spots. Because you've always...

You've always highlighted that. I like the SPF and all that, the quick drying and everything. Built in lens cloth for your sunglasses. Come on now. Did you know that? I didn't. Built in lens cloth. Like, this is the Swiss Army knife of shirts.

Hidden pockets. Right. You can even use it, I think it's, oh, never mind, poncho outdoors.com slash dumbzone. If you're playing outside, fishing, or you're going out for the night, or if you're broadcasting a game with Steve Berline. You could wear your poncho. We have some, I don't know, man, we have some really weird local entertainment news. And I wish we had someone more qualified to speak on this. I'm sure my buddy Brick, as soon as he hears this,

is going to be like, why didn't you call me? But there's a rapper, Dan, a very big rapper, if you're my age, Gucci Main. Uh-huh. He was in and out of jail. A lot of free Gucci movements. He's an old head at this point. Well, his real name is Roderick Dalantik Davis. And he was allegedly robbed and kidnapped in Dallas by rapper

poo shiasty. Who I am familiar with. Kidnapped? Yeah. Gucci Main? Yeah. Now... How is this not a bigger story?

I mean, it came out this morning. Oh. Like, since we've started doing the show. Just any kidnapping. Now, if you remember, I learned that we can get a little loosey-goosey with a turn kidnapping when O.J. got popped. Because I remember when O.J. got in trouble, they were like, yeah, he's getting hemmed up for kidnapping

and you read about the story and it's like, yeah, he told a guy to sit down and don't move. Like, you're implying if you try to leave here, we're going to F you up. But that's, to me, kidnapping involves a trunk or some rope. Yeah. And probably a change of location. Whereas they like lured this guy there.

I don't know. Now that I talk it out, maybe that is still kidnapping. But it says here that it was, they were meeting to talk about his contract. They arranged, Poo Shishti arranged the meeting to discuss in terms of his recording contract with one of the victims. Then there was an armed takeover of the studio, an AK-47-style pistol. From Poo-Sheistee's people?

Yeah. Because this isn't the Poo-Scisty, I know. Well, in this case... What does that mean AK-47-style pistol? Yeah, it's the triad gun, right? Clayton, you were a Grand Deft Auto guy. It's not really like a sub, an oozy hand out, but... No, it's a short barrel AK with no stock.

It called it a Draco. Okay. I mean, I hear it in rap songs. Big in Chicago. But someone pulled out the AK-47 style pistol and forced one of the victims to sign a release from a recording contract at gunpoint. All right. That's old school. It's like, look.

I went out of the deal. Here's how we're going to do it. The remaining co-conspirators pulled out guns, robbed everyone's rollies, jewelry, cash, other high-value items. Did you go roly? Yeah. You just said roly. Yeah. Got a bully on my arm and a...

It's a high-stakes game, man. Music. Anyways, yeah, this is a... This is not good. Poo Shasty. Yeah. I'm reading all about Poo Shasty. Yeah, and I think one of the co-defendants might be one of his family members.

I don't think it's his dad. Were you aware of Poo Shisty before this? Yes. Okay. Poo Shishty, I was aware of not. I could not tell you one song. I could tell you that I knew there was a Dallas rapper named Poo Shishty. Because, frankly, it doesn't take much to be a Dallas rapper of note, at least from my perspective.

I don't, there aren't that many of them that break through. Poo Shishti influenced by Chief Keefe. Yeah, Drill. The Draco, Chicago. Well, this isn't his first legal issue either. Yeah, this happened back in January, but man. Some weird, wild stuff. Three years in prison he served, Poo Shisty did.

Okay, he's legit. Yeah, I mean, I think he's, he might be, like, I think he's from, Memphis, but I've always associated him with being from here. But I can be wrong about that completely. Actually, it looks like I am completely wrong about that. Boy, that's the whole theme of the day today. He was arrested here. This is our April 1st show.

We didn't do one yesterday. Speaking of that, I have something on that. Were you beaten? No, I pretty successfully avoided it. I just saw the Jason Kidd story. and what a Jason kid fired? Yeah We can only be so lucky

But I did see a number of other hoaxes And like Dairy Queen Offered a five-gallon blizzard bucket On social media You know what the worst ones are Is politicians Yeah You got governors doing it now

What are they doing? Just a proclamation of this or that And putting it out, it looks all official. It's just... I tried to avoid it for the most part. Texas A&M football announced that they were adding a fourth deck to Kyle Field. That was a pretty good one. UT did...

All the football players are getting longhorns to keep for Team Unity. Like, what are we doing? I'm surprised Shottie is not like really heavy on social media. Oh, my God. Oh, I thought you were going to say just the biggest April 4th. fool's guy ever. And April fools, he might be. But wouldn't we have to see him on social media? Yeah, you would think so. He feels like... He just missed the window. Harris County announced that they would be doing, their deputies and constables would be now

doing tandem bike patrols, which is kind of funny. They posted a photo of two cops on a man-man bike. This pooh-shy thing is tripping me out now because I thought he was from here. But I guess it just happened in Dallas. You're just doing your robbing in Dallas. His cousin is Big Scar. How's he doing? I don't know. Let me just see it.

Tied up in this. Oh, passed away it. The age of 22. I tried to kill Simba. I don't know. I don't know about that one. Shot in the hip. The bullet traveled to his spine.

that necessitated an appendectomy. And then why did he die? Oh, he died from a drug overdose. Okay. Like, damn, got shot. Somehow he died. Confusing series of information. Yeah.

Let's see here. What did I want to do next? Moment of silence for poo. Well, he's not... Oh, who is the other guy? Big scar. Yeah. Okay.

You're not taking this seriously, and that's... Me or you? You. We're trying to honor Poo Shisty. It's like... Well, he kidnapped Gucci Mane. Yeah. He did.

Who knows what's going to happen from here? Your daily good beat is going to have to change times as it appears that the hottest Attorney General of all time Pam Bondi is on the way out. Oh, that's not Christy Nome? No. Which one has the husband that wears the things? Oh, that's me. Christy Nome with my husband. Big Milky Tits.

No, Pam Bondi's the blonde. I saw like Trump, somebody asked him about that. He's like, what, they admitted it? Oh, all right. Well, then I guess I'll comment. What an idiot. Yeah, like, why would you, why, even if they have the goods, right? You just go know.

I mean, that's, it's worked for him. Yeah, you did fake, fake, fake, that's a fake picture. Yeah. Yeah, but we have a, there's a, you know, we've got a forensic scientist to prove this. Nerd. Oh, really? Yeah. So who is this other one?

You know Pam Bondi. She's blonde. She's very... So what's the deal? I think... What was she? Attorney General? Yeah.

What do they do? Lawyering for the country. You know, like try to write letters. For example, when all that shit was going on in Minnesota, she's the one that'll write the letter to the, probably the AG in Minnesota that's like, hey, hand over these voter rolls we want. Okay. So why are they getting rid of her?

The reports are that he's not satisfied with her handling of some of his key priorities. But this is actually kind of the very rare one where she's moving on and he's not like just totally. Ripping her? Not yet. So anyways, she's on her way out. It is crazy. The volatile relationships around Trump sometimes. Like the who's the one?

Marjorie? The Marjorie Taylor Green. Like, she loved him and they were all, they were very close. And then it's, like, in one day he's like Marjorie Trader Green. Oh, God, that hits. It is. It's a gold nickname. Like, was he holding it this whole time when they were best friends?

Ugh. But, like, right away. It can, you know, it's not like, oh, we just kind of grew apart. And now it's like, F you. Yeah, some people. You suck. I never liked you. You never liked me.

that that's actually, you know, that that can be a leadership or governing style that it can work. You know, that you want people on their toes, like, worried about, you know, I'm trying to be, you know, give credence that there's more than one way to do it. It's not the way that I would prefer, but in any case. Um, God, what was I about to do? Oh, yeah. There was a shooting this weekend that I feel like about to make bigger national news because there's a race component to it. It's actually about a week and a half ago. It was at a waffle house and a fight with a bunch of teens late at night.

So any restaurant that's open late, late at night on the weekend where teens hang out, I honestly feel like sometimes I feel like it's less dangerous. like the bar because it's adults. You know, there's just a lot of teens. It seemed like hanging out in these type of places. There's a big fight. So it's either 17-year-old kid. Older people with alcohol or younger people with all that testosterone.

Yeah. They've arrested an 18-year-old and a 17-year-old. The teen who was shot is currently paralyzed, waist down. There were... Would you rather be paralyzed... His parents said he was trying to break up a fight. But who knows? But there were like 100 people there.

Argument over a girl escalated into gunfire. Would you rather be paralyzed top half or bottom half? Like your head... Can I ask you? I don't know what happens to your genitals in bottom half. Does it work at all? I feel like that's what I'm getting at here. Yeah.

Would you want it to be able to work? You could still feel... pleasure down there. You don't, let's just pretend you don't. It doesn't work at all. If you're top. Yeah, you don't feel any pleasure, but you've got your arms, you can, but, so now if you're paralyzed top half, which I don't think

is real, right? This is definitely a hypothetical. God, it's so funny. You can't instigate yourself to, you can't help yourself feel good. You know it's available down there. Right. You'd have to constantly. You have to have other people help. Well,

Now, I think we also just boiled down to you're getting nothing out of this other than that. You won't be able to like... You'll be able to walk? You will not. Yeah, no. In this one, you can. In this hypothetical, you're paralyzed from the top part of... Like, hypothetically, you could kick in the NFL.

Yeah, but you're just... Top is just limp. Your arms are just hanging there. I think you probably are removed... Good news. removed enough from the game that you don't know that there's probably a lot of devices you could get where you don't need anybody else involved at all. For having love with yourself?

Yeah. Because that's what you're thinking, right? You think I'm out of the game of loving myself? What are you saying? I think you're out of the game. Well, like, you've... Going to a sex shop and buying something. You've expressed, there's been times where you've expressed, like, what sort of weirdo is

looking at these porn sites on their phone. Yeah. And I feel like that's purely a time generational, like, the answer. for me is everybody I know. You guys don't set up like a reel-to-reel machine like I do? The only way to get the pure vintage. I hope this kid gets better, man.

oh so he's looked at any porn at all I'm humbling myself yeah it's and your wife who doesn't know that this is like super basic so let's let's put Tyler's porn against my porn and be like they'd run yours on TGIF and be fine with it compared because here's the thing you can do that and just not say anything no now

I hate to be the guy who defends religion against my religious friend of here, but you got to share. No, dude. No. That's the issue. You got a witness. Give your testimony. I'm not even mocking. That is how you help other people. That's why no one likes us.

Now, if you want me to say, do I think that there is a massive academic epidemic in the church of a guy getting caught looking at an extremely replacement level amount of porn and being shamed into thinking that he's fucking Tiger Woods? I don't think that that's accurate. We're overdoing it a little bit there. Sin is a sin in the eyes of the Lord. I know. And trust me, I used that when I was coming home from church camp and they told me that divorce was adultery just like homosexual. And I got home and my parents were like, what did you learn? I was like, you guys are gay.

How are you? You married a gay person. You're gay, you're gay. I do want to compare and contrast Tyler Tony's porn versus yours. Yeah, I don't think you do. I think so. Can I porn-mog him? Yeah.

Oh, my God, totally. You're maxing. Did you goon-mog them? Always back in and never rinse your teeth after brushing from Drew B. Drew B. Drew B. And dear foreman of the front bottom, like to wish a happy birthday to Day 1, D.F.

Number 313, Ben Carpenter. His leader is Blake's pitching arm. His bleeder is Blake's British sister-in-law. Question for the seamheads. This is from Lee Carpenter. Is Rangers manager Skip Schumacher the hottest manager in franchise history? Which is the question of the day. Is Rangers manager?

It's really him or Jeff Bannister? Man, I think Chris Woodward was a disorientingly looking attractive guy. He was real Southern California. I mean, you know what he looked like to me was Michael Young. Woody and Michael Young just looked very similar, like. Golden Goddy type I don't know what a young Whitey Herzog

looked like I believe he was the manager in the early 70s after Ted Williams and I could be wrong on that well the answer is there's just no way to know yeah I don't know what to do

game day men's health presents on this day in history we do rise to salute game day men's health at gameday.dumzone.com. You know what? I never really promoted their locations of the day when you were talking about game day earlier.

So let me get to my notes. Game day men's health. Game day. It's 12 area locations, of course. And the DFW locations, when you mention the DUM zone, they will give you 10% off your TRT. for life. Today, we highlight the north.

Frisco McKinney location is on Coyt, just south of 380, near Rock Hill High School. What do we know? That's a new one, Prosper Rock Hill. I don't know. You don't know the nickname of Rock Hill High School. What can we guess? It's going to be real PC, because if it's new, right, it's definitely not. The Boners?

The Indians. Or whatever. It's going to say Rangers, but that's Frisco Lone Star. I don't know. And then you have the Plano location. That's in the medical building on the northeast corner of Preston's Spring Creek. Right near the H.E.B. Caddy Corner. What does Caddy Corner mean?

Man, I've been acting like I knew what that meant for... I didn't want to read it, and then I thought I could throw it to you guys. Is it diagonal? Diagonal. Yeah. You know cats are always diagonally laying. The Rock Hill Blue Hawks. Yeah.

Pretty cool. That is. Good job. Well, if you don't want Blue Hawks, that didn't make any sense. No, but there's something here. There's Rock is involved. Blue Hawk, Rock, Cock, Blue Hawk. They certainly do some sort of chant.

But the point is that you can go to game day. If you never had your testosterone levels check, just get there. Rapid testosterone test. 15 minutes it'll take, and it's free. If you want, you can start your first treatment before you leave. So mention the dumb zone, 10% off TRT for life. We thank you, the Friscoe location and the Plano location, and today is April 2nd, Thursday, April 2nd.

On this day in 1908, after a two-year investigation, the Mills Committee, this was headed up by 4th, former National League President A.G. Mills. Declared that baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday in Cooperstown, New York in 1839. And they say, overwhelming evidence to the contrary, was ignored. So they came up with this cool story. Abner Doubleday apparently was some kind of a war hero. And they thought, ah, that'll make it even better.

He had nothing to do with the invention of baseball. and Cooperstown, New York, was not the location of the first baseball game, but it does end up being the location of, you know, the Baseball Hall of Fame. So do you want real history or do you like the history that we made? And now we think that it's real for 80 years or however many years. It would be so weird for that to happen after you died. Like 15, 20 years after you die. Everyone's like, you know what else he did?

The most popular thing in the land. Family's like, yeah, he was always talking about baseball. You're like, I guess this will work out for us. It's weird. On this day in 1917, could this be the Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star? The original basketball shoe was invented. Do I have that date wrong? I would think that that...

Look that up. Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star. Precates the invention of basketball. Of shoe. Where people wearing shoes in 1917? Basketball is like late 1800, early 1900, but you may be, dude. Running in Chuck Taylor's in the trench warfare? That's why we won. Yeah, we were faster.

Is that date right? So it started in 1917 as the non-skit, it was an update. The Chuck Taylor's were like an update to the original, the ones we see in basketball. There you go. On this day in 1922, someone named Jack Sanderson was the first airline steward. So flight attendant 1922 He was 14 years old

And they're like Hey kid There are no child labor laws You're now the airline steward And you will serve us As we fly across the land And he thought All right

What's the worst that can happen The next year he died in a plane crash No I was going to say, what a great story. On this day in 1931, the Yankees were playing an exhibition game against a minor league team in Chattanooga, Tennessee. On this minor league team, they had a 17-year-old girl who they brought in to pitch. Her name was Jackie Mitchell.

She actually struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Apparently, she was awesome. Nice. So, Kennesaw Mountain. Landis, who is the commissioner at the time, immediately decrees that women are not allowed in baseball and she's kicked off the team. Jeez. Every time, right?

What are you going to do? We have a marathon, one of them shows up and runs it. They're like, that's awesome, never do that again. Right. Get back in the house. Yeah. And on this day in 1932, Charles Lindberg went to a cemetery in the Bronx, New York, where he turned over $50,000 to a man in a man. exchange for Lindbergh's kidnapped son. Well, they didn't bring the kid that day, and then they found

the kid not alive the following month. This day is April 2nd, this day in Dumb Zone history. We had a little bit of April Fool's follow-up on this day in 2024 because Chuck Cooperstein fell for the Longhorns April Fool's prank on Twitter that said that they would be rolling out alternate uniforms and he wasn't happy. That's bait. for a guy like coop that's bait yeah uh jake's girlfriend saw stevo stab himself with a bottle on vacation in cancun

was this you weren't there yet and you were bummed you missed it yeah i wasn't there at all it was a trip my girlfriend took that's a wild story too i don't think i've ever told you guys that girlfriend going to cancun without you and dude i mean we have time although i've talked a lot today and i think i've used like four f bombs which i'm very self-conscious about now and this story could probably get another one out of me. Is someone on Reddit telling you not to swear? Why are you self-conscious? I just think it's weird, right? Do you want to have a swear jar? You want to just go totally gay? No, it's just tough because it is, you guys know me, and I, it is how I speak. So it's like the

opposite of if Dan started cursing. Like, Dan doesn't really talk like that normally, but I don't know. I just feels weird about it. It feels weird. It feels weird. Yeah, so my girlfriend and a bunch of her friends went to Cancun. And so this was like, I think, either in between our junior and senior year of high school or between our senior year of high school and freshman year of college, she was one grade below me. She was only a week younger than me, but she was one grade below me. And her and all of her friends were all hot, and they went down there. Actually, I know she was still in high school because she was going back to high school the next year. That's going to become important when I tell you that the next year, at some point,

She told me she was going to go visit her cousin or something in Ohio or somewhere. I don't even remember. I was like, I never even heard of this. And it was just some guy that she, that they met a group of guys who played for a minor league hockey team in Ohio. Oh, my gosh. And they, these dudes were like, they were 20, 21. She was 17. Oh, my, wow.

And her mom flew her out there. Wow. Her mom worked at American and knew that we were dating. and like I had a recording of her calling a buddy of mine he recorded it I was there calling and saying like don't tell because he had already found out about his girlfriend and now they were trying to like stem the blast so she called him and I was like yeah I put it on so I'm listening

and she's like no no tell him whatever okay we already got you but her mom yeah flew her to Ohio to just stay with this guy that they met in Cancun And like while we were dating, it was the weirdest thing. But that trip, she has a picture of it. Stivo just bloody, like a snapped photo. Bit of a Mel Hall type story. Mel Hall dated a 17-year-old or maybe even 16 when he was with the Yankees.

Yeah, I'm going to say he was considerably older than that, though, right? This guy was like early, well, maybe. Okay, yeah, no, he probably was 30, but the parents were like, okay, you're dating Mel Hall? Yeah, we'll drive him over. Yeah, and that really kind of lets you know where I stood because it wasn't a New York Yankee. It was a minor league hockey player. Yeah.

We were, y'all were stoked on the eclipse upcoming. This story was made today that the world's largest moon pie is to be made during the eclipse. We had a lot of couples announcing their wedding would be during the eclipse. That's right. You didn't do any space news today. We're going to the moon, bro. If you want space news, you better tell me about it or you better call for the ball. I thought you get the space.com newsletter.

You're expensing space plus every month on the card. All right. Tomorrow. Okay. We're going to have an update on the moon at the ballpark. I got to write that time. And then it was on this day that this was thrown down. This was in 2024.

By May 1st, Dan will be able to name every MLB manager and Jake will name every WNBA coach. I think I really nailed that. You did. Jake? Kind of did. Kind of did. But that was a different time. Should we do it again?

I also got it right. You want to switch sides? Not really. You just want to have to memorize eight. Stoked on baseball. Hey, we're expanding, though. Six. How many teams have we got in the WMBA?

I'm going to say 10. I'm going to say 10 or 12. I think it's 5 and 5. or six and six. How many teams in the WMB? I think we just got a... I love it, though. What do we get?

We just got a new CBA ratified, bro. Oh, okay. We're ready to go. 15? Okay. That's a lot. There's 15 at WMBA teams. One for every draft of the year.

Oh, we have the number one. Every team gets the number one overall pick at some point. All right. Other birthdays today, Malik Hooker is 30. Malik Hooker. Hewker. Pete and Cavilia is 62. Thank you. C.J. Wilson 41, the former cowboy.

DB. That is odd that we've had two people named C.J. Wilson in the same town. It's not that odd at all. Earlybird CBD.com. For proof that it works. For proof that it works. Be weirded out by strange last names like Wilson. CJ?

How many CJs have we had on all the teams in DFW in their combined history? Answer me! I bet you could find some if you actually like... At the same time who are in the... There's a C.J. Edwards. All right. Bill Romanowski is 60. He doesn't want to hear you anymore. Mike Kekich, Kekich is 81.

Who's that, Blake? I don't know. Remind me. He's one of the guys. He swapped wives with Fritz Peterson. He was a Yankees player. I wouldn't have been able to give you that. Not only swap wives, entire families.

So they basically just swapped husbands out of the family. And then he had a whole new family. Good bit. Interesting bit. One of them stuck with it. Interesting bit. Yeah. I don't know which one.

Probably not. Mike Kekich didn't stick with it. He's 81. Fritz Peterson probably died because he was married. Four ever-neers. Rory. Sabatini is 50. Formerly the world's most famous Rory.

But I think no longer. Probably. At least the United States. States is most famous Rory. I saw, I watched a comedian named Rory the other day. Really? Rory Scoville. Not bad.

Pascal Seacum is 32. All right, I'm going to tell you this right now. Earlybird CBD.com. Um, Dumb zone 20 is the code. Pascal Seaccom 32. Actor Pedro Pascal 51. Come on. Come on.

What? Oh. Christopher Maloney is 65. he's from law and order SVU yeah really don't know what else he's that's kind of how I feel about all those people well that's true I was going to say like Mariska Hargette

Has she ever been in anything else? Right you ever thought to One other role Yeah I just see Would you be would that bore you if that was your whole life The same role Because she's been doing it for like 30 years right 20 At least 20 yeah I think for sure more

Chris Maloney by the way I met him. Little guy. A little fella. Blake would be patting him on his little head. And Blake's not super short. I was told this today in a group chat. A buddy of mine is on Hinge, the dating app.

He is my height, if not shorter. On his dating profile, he put six foot. And they kicked him off the site. Like he got reported? He went on the first date and the girl reported him. He got kicked off the ad. That's incredible. ABS system.

That's sort of honor. Yeah, man. Like, I wonder if they would have done it, if she would have done it if it wouldn't have been so egregious. Yeah, like he's 5-11. Yeah. She was so. Or if they got along. She was, yeah.

Yeah. He was, she was so upset by this that she reported it to the authorities, the internet authorities. Have you ever done a dating site? No. You? Yeah. Oh, yeah, dude, he's got a whole... dating tips, bro.

Yeah. Now I missed the boat. That's another one where I feel closer to you. That's how I meant the French au pair. That's so great. Barry Hanson is 85. He is Dr. DeMento. One of those weird cultural things.

If you know, you know. Quavo is 35. LeBron. Yeah. Man, I was listening to an interview with Two Chains the other day. and he was trying so hard to cover for LeBron. Interviewer was like, he told you to just put all the songs on the album, right? Like he created the deluxe album.

And Tuchamp is trying to be nice about it. He's like, you know, we were listening to the song and he was just like, all these are good. You should put them all on. So he kind of did. It's like, no, but fine. Again, don't talk trash about LeBron or Steph Curry. Right. Well, if anyone ever interviews me about it, I will confirm that you did invent YouTube.

Thank you. Rapper Young Jock is 43. Do you know who that is? Yeah, what was that the hit? It's going down. Yeah, I'm not doing well on a rap music today. The lead is what I was going to say. That's Young Dro.

And our dumbs on birthday of the day is Jesse Plemons is 38. No, that's Florida. The great Jesse Plemons. That's Florida. From Breaking Bad and then everything else. That's great. Did he win the Oscar this year? For Bougonia? I don't know. Who could?

No, he didn't. He's from here. I know we've had him on. He's great, and he will win an Oscar someday. Write it down. Before Luca wins an MVP. Who? The end of the show! If there's ever a time to do it, it's after 2.15? I'm just saying, I don't know. That's a tough one. both things will happen.

But what a vexing question, early bird CBD.com slash. I was talking about it last night with our good friend Steve Carbone on his sports podcast, and he told me one thing offline that I meant to tell you guys during viewer mail.

So he used Steve Carbone. Reality Steve used to be a producer for Jim Rome's radio show. Romy. Bring it. So they were out in California. And Steve Carbone, Reality Steve is a true radio guy,

and he used to make prank calls to other radio stations in San Diego. Okay. Including a man named Paul Mahan, who you may know as Hacksaw. Good stuff, Corby. And he was like, yeah, we would prank him all the time. We would just call him mess around. And I was like, dude, that's great. He said, speaking of Hacksaw, he used to take the weekly press conference call

of the QB that was playing the Chargers that week since Haxon. was the play-by-play guy, but then spliced together all the answers the QB gave, then go record himself asking the question. And at the open of his show, he would pretend that he had an exclusive with, say, Dan Marino. Wow. It was 1995 so he could get away with it. He did it literally every week with the other team's best player and pretended that he landed these big-time interviews over time.

So if you're listening, you're like, Hacksaw, he is so plugged in. Unbelievable. That is great. getting every big guest. Yeah, and he'd lead with it that week. Like, we're starting the show off today with Lawrence Taylor, Giants, Chargers. That's great. It is great. That's the move. Born on this day now dead, Giacomo Casanova. When did Casanova live? I don't even know what this is. Was he a... His countless affairs made his name synonymous with womanizers. So somehow this guy who's spreading, you know, pussy weaners everywhere.

Discharge. Yeah. Somehow, though, we have held this up. Like, hey. That guy's a real discharge spreader. Yeah. Man, I got nothing. $1,800.

$1,500? $1,500. $1,500. It is 1725 to 1798. Is it, I guess, Italy? Is he an Italian fella? Probably French, Italian. No disrespect.

Also, Sir Alec Guinness. I think that's Obi-Wan Canobi. Split the G. And born on the stay, not dead, Rodney King. Dead on the stay still dead. What's your Rodney King bit? He's the only person called... Oh, a motorist?

Yeah. Yeah. That was a tough distinction to draw. Yeah. And, you know, he probably wouldn't have ended up with that pool had he not been beaten up. Yeah. Mm.

Dead on the stay, still dead. Eddie Robinson, the football coach. GSU. Probably not the racist one. Because he was black, although I guess he could have been racist against. Certainly. I think probably not the other one is more that we know the other one was.

And so Eddie Robinson and Chuck of Fairbanks. He's also a football coach. and Chevrolet dealer. Is that the same guy? Of course. On this day in history. Because there's like a Randy White reality, but it's not Randy White. Really?

Don't you think that's weird? Like in Dallas. There's just no shame, right? He's like, it's going to work. It's my name. What if his name is actually Randy White? Which it might be, which would be the opposite, of course, of Ben Dover, whose name was not Bendover,

but he was a personal or financial advice guy. Yeah, on Cliff. On Cliff and got mad when I was talking about the fact that I learned his real name wasn't Bendover. Like, I never mentioned him before that. It wasn't my fault. That's a good investigative reporter. Right now, so it's time for closing remarks. And this portion is brought to us by Frankel and Frankel,

personal injury attorneys. You know the bit. If you get in a car accident or if you have some kind of a personal injury and you're dealing with insurance coming, all the, they will fight for you. They will fight, get you the money. They've been doing this for so long. They're so good at it. They are Dallas-based 214 or 817 and all threes. For some reason, this is a weird one, but mention the dumb zone.

Between, you know, your heaving breaths as you're trying to talk out of the one good lung you have. Because you're in a car accident. That's what we're hoping when you call, Frankl and Frankel. I have a brief one, too, if you have one also, for closing. For closing remarks. But I wanted to mention what I would like to do moving forward is something Blake did the other day was at the end of the show. We didn't have a closing remark guest, but he said, hey, the chat wants us to. And that day it was called Cleveland, right?

Yeah. It's a good bit. So, yeah, we could call it the chat wants us to dot, dot, dot, dot. but like we should acknowledge the chat. We do this live to tape every day, but also it's on YouTube live. So yeah, if we don't have any other closing remarks, but it sounds like you might have some stuff. Very quick one, but if there's anything pressing over there,

any errors and omissions? Are people mad about push-eisty? No, people were mad at, I guess just Alexa. It was mad that we didn't do more Christy Gnome talk. Yeah, that's a good, yeah, you got to know. People just don't want to hear politics stuff too much. I don't know. Is that politics if you're talking about someone?

I mean, obviously, I find it hilarious. Someone whose husband is... I'd never really considered attaching tits. And he looks like Bob from Fight Club. You know when Bob had bitch tits? Bob had bitch tits because he was on Winstrel. Played by? Meatloaf.

Meatloaf. That's right. So when Robert Paulson had bitch tits, that's kind of what Christy Tom's husband looks like on the chat, he's like got udders hanging in like a big gray sweatshirt. And it had never, like, you'll hear of guys you like put on underwear, like Marv Albert style, right? Or they'll put on lipstick, but attaching fake titties is, I'm a sick person.

And I'd never thought of that. Because you have to cover them up for them not to look ridiculous. You can't be staring at the nude prosthetic tits. They have to be heaving contained tities. which is just I don't know anyways I hope you're happy Alex

no my thing I referenced this before and I wanted to do this at the end of the show because I have a feeling a lot of people tune out so maybe this is only real heads I told you guys

I wanted to do some sort of volunteer thing with Special Olympics and I figured out the first thing that I'm going to try to do it's April 25th it's something called Miracle League it's been around forever

it's based in Arlington and it's like special needs baseball. Baseball is a sport that's very hard to pull it. Like, you know, you're going to need some help out there, right? Basketball may be a little more simple, but they have like 70 teams. There's a wait list to get on it. They play a ton of games.

They have two spots that day for the play-by-play booth and the announcer. So I'm going to try to get enough. There's a game at one. There's a game at two. It also happens to be the same day of the current. walk, which is not ideal, but this is the day I can do it. This is the day they got, actually. April 25th, just email me if you want to do it. Is your thing at night? No. Okay, because the crumb walk is at night, I believe. Oh, okay. It's at one P. There's a game at one P and two P. I'm trying to get

10 to 20 people. We'll go have lunch or something afterward. You'll play in the game? No, I think you're mostly like, why do you get 10 people? I think you need people in the field, you know, like you need people to kind of help people at the plate. You need somebody to like kind of, you have like a buddy for most the players. You know, baseball is confusing enough at times. Yeah, why? That seems cruel to make it a baseball turnoff. I've actually been to this before. I had friends who volunteered with this before, and it's cool. So if you want to do it with me, Dan and the company will pay for your lunch afterward. Okay. I need people. I want to do this. I just feel like we have like a thing of people who want to

hang out together and go do stuff. I got guilt to kill, so let's do it volunteering if you want. I don't know. What day is it again? April 25th. When's the draft? And I kind of figured that while I still throw like one of them, I could get up there.

This is the only reason he wants to do this. So we can have a force field and can compare himself. Scoreboard him. Right. Yeah. They're like, oh, wow, you throw great. Yeah, I know. Because yeah, the other day We were doing a thing with our new pool company yesterday, and those guys were laughing at them. No, they weren't. No, they weren't.

Adios, mofo. See you at the ballpark. Thank you for watching my video. Subscribe and type for my name if you want to watch more of my video.
