Hi Tom my garage We're not in the Game Day Men's Health studio that's downtown Dallas Gameday.gat dot dungzone.com We love you game day Where would we be without the peptides People are talking about peptides folks.

I'm living them. Sitting around in the... I'm watching this John Hamm show. I think my wife must be, too. Friends and neighbors. Yeah. Anyway, I don't know if it's anti-reality or just like I don't live

with the rich people enough. Because John Ham will sit around with his rich buddies in the sauna. They all got a towel on and they all talking peptides. They're like, hey. That's what you do. You get a little older.

I think there's... 40 and up. You're like, this hurts on me. Oh, this hurts on me. Well, my wiener's small. Well, a lot of people don't just jump out with that. Right, but you're in the sauna.

Yeah. So it's like, why not? Yeah, probably a lot of peptide talk in the sauna. I don't know. I'll just tell you there's no way I get through the weekend I just had without it. So I can't recommend it highly enough. Oh, that's a tease. A little leading statement guy.

What the weekend I just had? That's right. We'll get to that. We must introduce our den sit-in. I imagine we're in the den because of this man. He's Alex. How's it going? Thanks for having me.

A Lex. You're F1 guy? No, not really. This shirt was on sale at H&M for like $10. I was like, man, that's a good deal. I can't pass that up. Is the deal worth having people like me ask you if you're an F1 guy? I have to consider that now.

Do people ever ask you questions like in Jeopardy form? Oh, yeah, all the time. Okay. That's not unique. I thought I'd come up with a new bit for you. All right. Your birthday or anything? No.

So, it's a variety date. Just kind of hanging out. Yeah, just hanging out. I love it. Yeah, absolutely love it. Yeah, thanks for having me, guys. On a Monday. Yeah, so the fridge, Blake's a terrible host if you're not a lady.

Boy, that's a truth. Yeah, but the fridge is open to you. Yeah. We have Lone Star beer. We have Lone Star Light. We've got C4. We got Howl Water. Good deal.

What could you not... Oh, we have some dog pills wrapped in cheese. I pre-wrapped them over the weekend. Were you about on cottage cheese? I'm a fan, but I wouldn't, like... Hey, I'm going to pull that off the shelf and pay money for it. But if you had some cottage cheese right here for me, give me a little pepper, go.

Just as is. Yep, give me a little pepper. Whoa, whoa, I mean, you don't need it on... Okay, but I'm saying, like, she's putting it on potato. Interesting. It could be a good topic. eggs. Like she's mixing it in with eggs. And I'm like, I don't know. I like it. I don't know. I like what she's doing there. Well, yeah, glad to have you here, Alex, and grab a beverage if you'd like. We'll do.

Sorry about Blake. So I have here next step on the run sheet, the very loose run sheet, promote. And I don't know if we should or not, but we've been promoting it. So we will. That right now for the next half of the time, hour. We are scheduled to go out and do a later show tomorrow. Oh, it's a noon call today? Isn't that weird? No. No? Well, no, I don't know if it's weird or not.

I just really, this time-shifted spot puts a sudden. Well, hold on, no. They're not going to drive here. Let me just say what it is. It is Jake's supposed to throw out the first pitch tomorrow at the, at Ridersfield. There's a college baseball game. Texas Tech versus Oklahoma. The Baker Bowl, they call it.

They do. and the first the game starts at 6.30. I'll be honest. I'll be long gone by then, but I will be there to watch Jake throw out the first pitch. Like they're actually letting him, like, in the game. They're letting him to the lead off batter. It's like an Eddie Godell type situation. He's going to get one pitch.

Well, no. It's kind of a, you know, make it. You have eligibility left. It's a make it take it type situation where if I sit the first. better down, I get to keep going. Oh, yeah, that'd be great. 27 batters later. They're like, why are we still playing?

We should have ended three minutes ago. Get the police escort to Arlington. 624 is the first pitch, yes. Oh, 624 officially is when it starts? When is your pitch? No, that's what I'm saying. 630 is first pitch. 624 is my first pitch.

Oh, okay. In theory, because they're looking at big weather rolling in and they will decide today whether to call off the game or not, or postpone the game, I should say. That's a much better situation. Off the air, I thought Blake said that they would make the call tomorrow and me having to go through tonight as I just stand in my backyard and throw, not knowing.

I don't need that. Can you imagine actual major leaguers that are, well, I guess it's not the same thing. No, it's not. It's interesting if you care. It's fun to kind of talk. People ask me like, are you nervous? And I'm like, no, I'm not nervous because I can't do this reliably with no one around. So, like, the crowd's not the problem, you know.

We've been in front of crowds. Maybe that'll bring out the best. You all these. Gamer. Yeah. You step it up for the biggest moments. Sure. People have said.

So we'll see. Yeah, I guess we'll break in. Yeah. So, yeah, we were breaking news during our show. Blake will update us. But if it does happen. He's monitoring the email. We're doing the show out there.

They're opening the gates at two, where we're going to be the saloon, which we'll post the location, but we'll do the show at 2.30. We'll go to about 5.5.30. We'll hang out. Have beers. Whatever. But the point is, we're moving the show. It's not just the first pitch. Come hang out. You're not having a beer, mister. Do you have friends like that that'll do that for you? No. Okay, good. I think everybody pretty much knows. I mean, one guy that I'm pretty close with actually suggests that I just have one. every now and then. But other than that, everyone seems to pretty much get it.

It seems like you didn't beat addiction then. Wow. What a swerve. To troll your friend who changes his life by being like, did you really beat it? It feels like it's still on top of you. Sounds like you're avoiding it. Our weekend check.

So, actually, I'm going to give you a weekend check and give you the sponsor here within it. Because I did go. I'm gym guy, so I went to the gym this morning, but I went a little later after I cut up a little cowboy audio, so a 9.30 trip to the gym. Step one, I stopped the car in the middle of the road. And you can call me a hero if you want,

but I did pick the turtle up to take him across. He was clearly heading toward this little pond. And I found out, something. I don't know if it was fear or just like this is just, was his time? Turtles can pee and pee a lot. Like it just came flying out. It was like your buddy who's like, come in the back room to see the squirder.

Yeah. It was like, great, not real, didn't seem to have a lot of direction or anything. Certainly downward. Clayton's right. It was probably terrified. But I mean, just really, it was amazing. Yeah. An amazing let go.

So if you've never seen that. It was like the Nature Channel, except it wasn't the Serengeti. It was me on a street picking up a turtle while a bunch of cars were behind me. But had to kind of show him, look, I'm the guy that didn't kill the turtle. And then saw a puddle pools truck in the wild. I was pretty happy about that. And puddle pools is our new sponsor, our newest, brightest sponsor. And in fact, let's see if I got to, did they come out to your house this weekend?

They came out to my house on Friday. Yeah, they were there Friday. Got my report afterward, got my photos, and got my pool looking awesome all weekend. It really does look. I mean, I don't know. I had a guy before, and he was a guy that we, someone, maybe we inherited him.

And the pool I was paying about the same. And he was, I didn't know my pool could be clean better, but I know now. That's the thing. Kind of doing a half-ass job, and I didn't know it. No, my same thing. When we got puddle pools, I was kind of telling the guys. Yeah, I mean,

My guy does a good job, but yeah, I'll switch. I want to support our sponsors. I thought my guy did a good job. It's for real. Pottle pools comes out. They hook up the vacuum. And then they give you a detailed breakdown of everything that they did. Take a couple pictures as well.

That brush the walls down, you know. They inspect the pump, inspect the filter, make sure that the pressure is checked, all that kind of stuff. So get ready for the heat. Right now you sign it for a year. They'll give you a month. and they'll throw in some algae prevention. That's an extra $100 value,

but they want you at puddlepools.com slash dumb zone to sign up. So puddlepools.com slash dumb. That's the CTA? That's the CTA. And if they find a turtle, though. Nope. Call to action, my friend. Oh, yes.

So now we are calling you to action. Puddlepools.com slash dumzone. elsewhere on my weekend. Quick G-not-G or Y. Hilary Law, it doesn't really fit with that. Central Market stealing Eatsy's bits a little bit. So they'll have people out there singing. Well, that's been, well, I guess go on. And they stepped it up at one higher, and I think it's probably because of, is it Hatch Chili?

Cizzen? God, it's like the WNBA draft. I swear to God. There's a lot of Hatch Chili. market, but I feel like they're running four hatch seasons a year. I don't know what it was, but they had things going on on Friday. Are you really? Do food?

I used to love those spots, man. Great time to shop if you're a boring nerd who doesn't do anything on Friday nights anymore in your life. Discovered that's a wonderful time just to stock up. Now you are missing the milf window. Yeah. But tradeoffs we make. Anyway, they actually were doing some bits out there.

They had a horse and a carriage. So they got a horse pulling a buggy, and it's, you know, four people fit in the back. And so now there's kind of a line, and people are wanting to get on it. And kids, right? You're taking your kids. So it draws people to Central Market. So the horse and carriage were gone. And now I'm driving out.

I'm leaving. I see the horse and carriage coming back around because it just goes around. the store. Yeah, I was going to say, where's it going? It just keeps going around and around within the parking lot and around the store, the back, and then in the front. It's just you're actually in it. It's like, hey, I haven't really been close to abusing an animal.

Can I get close? And then they're like, yeah, you can't. You can sit right here. Take a little hit. 70-year-old guy in it by himself. There's the driver. Like, I'm just saying there's a line. There were kids with parents.

There were people waiting to get on. I know. I waited. He also waited in line and just said, I want to take the long, slow around the parking lot drive in a horse and buggy by myself. That guy's the dumb zone champion of the day. That's like I want to see a movie for yourself. Listen, I come to this store. I come to this store.

They got a horse. I get to use it too. I love that. Is he in the ball pit at Chuckie Cheese? Yeah, I want him to have like an ice cream. cone. Really sarcastic about it. That's really weird, though.

Like, we're just going to ride this horse around the parking lot. I mean, follow your wife around Central Market or jump on a horse carriage for... Yeah, I'll just go out here and sit. Kill a little time. Hey, he wasn't on his phone. He was like just sitting looking around. Oh, wow, the parking lot. Okay.

There's a restaurant. Jersey scene in the wild. Clayton, need the picture thrown up for a week. can check jersey seen in the, because you like random jerseys in the wild. Whoa, and Antoine Jameson Mavs. Is it probably like, what, 03, 04? Oh, something like that.

It's an old man wearing tall black socks. I'm not the worst shape guy at the gym. My God, he's got a T-shirt on under the NBA jersey. Like it's a real jersey. It's not like an Antoine Jameson Jersey T. Is there a jersey? No, it's full shirt.

Like I spent $150 on this thing. I'm going to wear it. to the gym and I'm 70. That's fantastic. Like the alternate shorts on too? Yeah. I did something you guys will ridicule me for, but I have to do it. Just I'm me.

It's because of my poor, it's my problem. What I did is start a packing for my trip. You can see the suitcase over there. It's ten days. That's right, but it's a 14-day trip. So there's a multiplier. So one week from Wednesday, I will be leaving here, driving to Clemson, where my daughter is graduating from graduate school. I will then drive to Cleveland, where I will spend a few days with my mom and friends and things like that.

I haven't been to Cleveland in a year. Is a girl going with you? No. Okay. Then I will drive to Ithaca. New York where my other daughter is graduating undergraduate school. Then I will drive back straight to Dallas. And that'll be a 14-day trip overall.

And so, yeah, first, I don't know what to pack. My mom is telling me it's like a high of 49 next Friday. So I got to pack everything. Mom call, really fun this week. She detailed, she went down every Brown's draft pick She just read them all to me And I'm like, I don't know, I don't really know who that is And then she got to David Boston's kid

I'm like, oh, I know who that is Apparently they drafted David Boston's son Not quite No, Mike. Oh, someone who inadvertently called him David Boston's son Yeah, okay Some underling Mike Greenberg I think they pay a lot of money

That's not just getting a name wrong That's a... That's pretty big. But real quick, did she clue you in that there was another Browns pick made at the draft? Are we doing draft day, too, boys? What the hell's going on? Seems like it. What was his name?

Connor? Connor Rourke is a real person, but it was something. And they had a kid walk out and put the Brown's hat on. Goodell, like, let the crowd know this is for a production. But why is it another Browns movie about the draft? I'm sorry. If it was the steamer's crowd, why didn't they F up the production? and like boo.

Yeah, that's a good. I mean, I don't know what the movie is. My point is that if they're making another NFL movie that's outside the draft day universe, it's also about the draft and also features the Browns. It needs to be. Yeah. Callahan ended up with a great career or I don't know.

Right. Jennifer Garner's already left sunny. But I started packing and then, yes, I'm learning, well, you know what? I don't even have 14 pairs of this or that. Like, I have whatever. I didn't know if I had enough to pack. My goal was to pack half yesterday and then half next Saturday and then I'll be fully packed.

Okay. I love the precision and new functionality. But I also decided I need to buy new underwear and socks and this and that. You can just do laundry. Where? Hotels a little bit, right? I don't know. Do you do some hotels?

Well, the point is I just bought new socks, new underwear, new everything. And I'm just going to take that with me instead of just packing my old stuff. It's kind of Alan Iverson. A little Alan Iverson. But also very much cashing in the junior Miller squared away chip. But I have to do it anyway. When you pop open fresh socks. Yeah, I have to do it anyway.

Why not on the trip? Yeah. How fun will that be? You know what I like to do? Fun for the whole family. Here's a little fun. Next time you go do that, buy two of those and hide one of them. Or like put it in your closet or something.

And then like six months. You're like, I need socks. And you're like, no, I don't. That's great because I like the same thing. Yeah. And yeah, it's been a couple years since I've bought new socks. You could tell, because on Amazon it says this was the last time this was purchased. So then if they have the same exact kind, I'm really happy.

And then I'll give you this. Well, you know what? I'll save it. I have an emergency today in Twitter, but I'll save it for after the weekend check. Who's next? Clayton? We had big weather Saturday. So I

Turned my computer into NFL red zone for weather Dude, that makes all the sense in the world I was texting with Clayton about weather Saturday night And I didn't It occurred to me I don't know if I've ever asked Clayton Are you really into weather I was just sort of

Context cluing everything else I knew about him And then he's like, oh, I'm on it It's like, well guns, coins Liberty Like these are the sort of things that people who are into weather share. And he's like, oh, yeah, sent me his quad box. Yeah, so I had all the local networks on.

You could talk to my mom because she's the one that alerted me. Patch me in. Yeah. I got to give a shout out to our boy, Dan Henry. He did a complete game. No subs. I like that. Oh, wow.

Back in the day, back in my day. And on a Saturday. On a Saturday. Like, they call him in. Oh, yeah. Like, that's a time. I've been off for a day. I got another day off after this.

Like, I'm just going to relax. Yeah, Coop had a couple of minor leaguers in there helping him out. But Dan Henry jack it off the whole night. Just guns ablazing. That guy is so jacked. See, I know. But he's the one my grandfather used to be like he thinks he's tough. He is tough.

He thinks he's tough. So they did. they did great dan henry on my screen all night but um jake sent me this and it's kind of like jake gets the emails where he's like yeah i've already i've already seen this a hundred times before someone emails him or like i text him something and he sent me max velocity and he's correct and when he says that the weather game has changed we're now doing influencer weather basically where there's guys that their whole, like a kickstream who's doing games, but their whole stream is just them doing weather.

Have you ever, I never really considered this, Dan, but if you think about it, like there's nerds who are into everything, and whatever they're into now, that's just better and cooler than it used to be. Sports coverage, you can find way better and cooler. Game, like he said, game stream stuff. It's just there's a lot of things out, but... John Rocker, rooting out fraud. John Rocker, rooting out fraud, John Boy.

for example, right? Yeah. I'd never thought, what if somebody just goes super hard on weather? And I found this dude. My wife found him on Instagram. He's got 2 million subscribers on YouTube. And he just goes around the country. I don't think he's DFW based.

No, he's not. But he's just like where we're like a storm chaser? Yeah, but he's he's the one. He's the hub. He's the hub. He's got storm chasers out there. He's a digital nomad. But he's clearly an actual meteorologist.

Like he's a science. guy. I don't know. Dan Henry, Weather Coupe, they're TV guys. This guy clearly is a science guy and he's just, let's go up to this box. Let's go over to this box. Let's go down we got. It was insane. Like, they just took weather.

Okay, so the science Frankie McDonnell. Like, Frankie has just been. Yeah, he's not the most charismatic guy in the world. He might kind of think he is, but he ain't Dan Henry. I'll tell you that. Like a lot of these streamers, you see they get huge and you're like, well, nobody trained you how to be on television.

But it looks awesome. It looks really cool. McKinney is dead. Is that me? No, that's me. I'm trying to cue up a sot that I cut from his stream last night. It was cool. So, yeah, he's great.

He's about that life. He's got 30, I think, weather tracers, at least. And he just has a map. And he can just click on them, pull up their stream. Whatever they're streaming. Last night was big because he got a dual tornado. They call them Twins in the Biz. Okay.

That was in Twister. But this was Saturday night. He was doing his stream. Hates people parking under overpasses. Shames them, live on stream. Is that bad? Yes. Why?

Because you impede traffic and you cause wrecks. On the berm? You're on the side? No, people block the entire highway off. Oh, okay. Well, yeah. And just park under an overpass. Who would do that?

Like, in the... The road? The road? It's big here. It's huge in Dallas. Because we have so many overpasses. Okay, well that's idiotic. But he does bits.

He was doing this in the middle of the tornadoes coming to Fort Worth. Is dead. Damn it. McKinney's not on map. McKinney is dead. Oh no. Just dead pan. I don't understand.

He's just like, he's trying to be funny, but he's also very, very, very, very, very, you know, He's also very informative. Dan Henry's trying to save you. This guy's like, yeah, sorry. Sorry. Bye. I was having a hard time gathering whether or not he's just dramatic like this all the time or if Saturday night was actually big storms.

Because they were saying, like, this is, then you wake up the next morning and it was like, man. Yeah. A little something. No, like I said, my mom alerted me, but I went to the app, and it shows you that nice radar rolling through and the time, and it looked like it wouldn't really touch us too much, and it didn't. Yep. You know, we really need that rain, though, how Blake? Yeah, I haven't started on my, let's get my yard looking nice yet.

I'm kind of putting it off. Wow, that's exceptionally late in here. I got a lot going on. I just don't really care about how green my grass is right now. Everybody's got priorities. Yeah, it's falling off. I'll get there, though. But run the ball guy loves saying that we need this rain.

Yeah, we do. And we're going to get a lot tomorrow, too. I'll go. Well, if you have an indoor, I can go. Okay, go ahead. The battle for my thing, isn't that great? Yeah. A pickup hack.

So I've told you guys before that DoorDash will give you 25% off or something if you order through them. They're going to up charge the delivery, but if you go pick it up, it's the best of both worlds. I would like to add on to that. If you go pick it up, you're just paying the cost it's supposed to be. Yeah, but I think the coupon gets you on it. Maybe, but... With DoorDat, do you still pay higher fee on DoorDash? It's like a dollar or two more, but if you get a 25% off, which is what I'll go for,

you're paying a little less. Deals. Yeah. Okay, because I've talked to restaurant owners who are like, yeah, man, they strong arm us, they take another whatever percent. So if you call us, it is a lower price than if you use DoorDash pickup even. Some places don't even have the call, though. Yeah.

A lot of places... They're just like you just use the app. Yeah. Yeah. My hack is to, because you know, I don't order drinks at restaurants. It's a waste of money. No, I didn't know that. This is your...

I don't do that either. That's a part of know. I don't order drinks. Well, in the late... In the latest edition of the handoff, I told you, I'll go to my gas station where I have a Chug Club membership and get a Route 44 soda for the family to share. Yeah. That's exceptional.

I mean... Here's the next hack. If you know you're going to pick up your food at 6, select pickup for 615, show up like you need your food, and they'll give you a drink while you wait. So you show up at 6. Hey, would you like a drink while you wait?

You know what? I wouldn't mind one. You see it's 15. I do this at Winkstop every time. They're going to have an uncomfortable amount of time to fill where they're kind of saying sorry, but they're like, want to drink or something.

Yeah, you know. That is funny because I always get offered one. I'm like, no. They don't know it's not their fault. I put, it said it's ready. Okay, so I'm sorry. Would you like a drink while you ate? Yeah, sure.

A drink. Yeah, no, I. I love some calamari too. Yeah, you know what I was like you're offering? Whatever you give me. We had an incident at baseball on Saturday. And I feel like this rain cloud has just been following me. This is little kids baseball.

Yeah, this is a coach pitch. This is coach pitch team. Saturday we had the, it reminded me of the kid in the Bad News Bears who had like the dirt bike that he would ride everywhere. We had that kid riding his bike like through like the concourse and through the stands. Yeah. I don't think he was really like buzzing people, but parents were unhappy. There's always going to be this kid. You see him in every field, every youth association.

I saw one at a dove right here, Dove Waterpark and Park. there's a kid. They all looked the same. Parents aren't home, whatever, but somehow they got a hold of the kick-ass motorbike, and they're just... And then chill out for a minute, and then through the parking lot, down the street.

Here they come again. God, everyone just has to look at you. So, that... Really none of this bothered me, which makes me happy that I'm just not squarely this person yet, yet. But on his shirt, on the front of his shirt, he had a giant

middle finger. On the back of his shirt, it said, and parted my language, break your fucking neck bitch. Okay. That's really aggressive. So this added to the parents' consternation

about the... So then we have some dads trying to, like, get in front of him, asking to believe. Get in front of them. Like, they're trying to, trying to get a fan at a sporting event or something, trying to corral him. I don't know. Like I said, this kid was not bothering me.

Don't run over my, I don't know. We can coexist here. Yeah. Other parents did not take this stance. Cops were called. Well, you probably have to call the cops. I mean, I wouldn't, but somebody's going to call the cops if you have a bike like that on city. They just will.

I mean, dude, he used to call the cops on us for skateboarding. And you can tear the field up, right? I care more about the field than anything. I want to get practice in. He wasn't going on the field. He's just... He's just in the parking lot? No, but he would ride on the sidewalks where people were walking.

Pavilion, yeah. Yeah, but... Somebody's going to call the cops, but I think approaching the kid on your own is a bad idea. There are a lot of 50-year-old dads trying to do that. Hey, turn that shirt inside out. There are kids here! But it does track that, like, there's always one... And that kid's probably would have a good athlete, too, but he doesn't play sports.

No. There's always, like, a bad kid. He's like... I just don't really do sports And so of course the cop pulls into the parking lot And the kid hightails it through the neighborhood It all played out perfectly

So I got a few pictures in there Clayton And I'll walk you through those just listening The first is for some reason at LA Fitness Once or twice a year We do this auction Where there's signed pictures There's jerseys That for some reason if you're

in the mood, you can write your name down and buy one of these things. And I was laughing at the selection here because you've got some heavy hitters. You've got Nolan Ryan, Pete Rose, Dan Marino, Lawrence Taylor, Rudy. If you want a signed Rudy Jersey, have at it. I mean, listen, as much as we laugh, somebody's paid a lot of money for assigned Rudy jersey before. And there he is, his little dumb signature. It just says Rudy. It doesn't have a last name.

No. No. That's not his jersey. No, is the point. The next picture is... I think this is a positive for parents. If you can go up there, this sign says one in four hot car deaths happen when kids get into cars and can't get out.

I was thinking, you know, we see the numbers, you know, a thousand kids die every year from being left in the car. This makes parents look a little better because one out of four. they had no idea the kid was in there. Wait. I was going to say that what we have here is actually this is great news for parents because three out of the four times when kids die in cars is just because they're idiots. Yeah, they could have got out.

Dumbass. Yeah. This is a very confusing status. I've seen this ad before too. So the one in four hot car deaths happened when kids get into cars and can't get out. Oh, so they kind of climbed in somehow. Yeah, they didn't like go into 7-Eleven. and see the video poker and just play for an hour

and forgot the kid was in the car. They had no idea the kid got in the car. So we're saying... At least a quarter of them. I'm saying a check... This is a positive spin for parents. So what is this telling us, though? I don't know.

I don't know. Lock your car, don't let your kid have the key or what is it say on the bottom? Like, what I don't understand the whole... Once you park, stop, look, lock. Point of that. How about just... Yeah, I don't know. Kids dying cars.

I mean, what else are they not telling you? That's one out of four. What are the, or one out of four, like a dog killed him in the car, but it was also hot? I don't know. I just think we need to investigate these numbers. I agree. I like their logo is the rearview mirror with a kid, like, waving. Like, hey, don't forget me back here.

Don't forget me. And then final thing, Jake has been saying we're in a sauce era. He was ahead of the game. This has ramifications that I didn't see coming. Rama. I'm kidding. Go ahead. We got sauce for dog food now.

Whoa. I like that. Kibble sauce. All right, that's ridiculous. What are we doing? You can pour sauce. Oh, look. The dog is licking its lips.

It's got sauce on its little dog child. I will say this. It is a saucer. You're right. I didn't know everybody's just sauced up. I thought this was kind of a country thing. But we used to pour broth or water sometimes in the dog food. So it says that's what it is.

It's like with beef bone broth. But. No, but this was a thick sauce. Oh, it's like a... I think that's the flavor enhancement. Like rocket sauce. But yeah, I guess dogs are living their best life now. They got sauce.

We used to put like bacon grease on their food. Oh, my God. You know, let me tell you when you stop doing that, when you start cleaning up dog poop on turf. And your whole focus every day becomes, can we ensure that this dog has a firm stool? You know, speaking of grease, it's the perfect time to service your garage door right now.

Kind of grease that thing up. Okay. Weather and temperature affect the components of garage door assembly. The drastic shifts in weather can weaken various parts. So now that we're warming back up, get them all greased up at tx trident.com. 81751212.1-1-2. Get them out. Have them service your garage equipment.

Just check everything over. even if you don't need a new garage door or a new gate. The springs, the opener, the door, the track, the weather stripping. They came out, fixed up my garage door. Everything is perfect. It is so quiet. We have one of our guys who came out here for a sit-in at the den is like, like he called Trident after leaving here because our garage door was so quiet.

And his is so noisy. Great success with TXTrident.com. Did I interrupt your last one? I'm sorry. Yeah, I got one more thing. Okay. Gates, too. Gates, though, and garage doors.

They're awesome. Veteran-owned. One is a retired police officer at Trident. So, awesome listeners as well. So talk Dumbzone with your friends at TXTrident.com. Ask to see the Hummer. Oh, 10% discount, too. Across the board.

Just mention the dumb zone. If you don't mention the dumb zone, then they don't know you came from us, and you don't save money. And that will arrest you. Play the breaking college baseball sounder. The game has been canceled. Not postponed. Apparently the two teams couldn't come together on a rescheduling date.

So there's just going to set all the hell with it. So what are we doing tomorrow? Stop promoting the Jake thing? Yeah. No Jake thing because of weather. So does that mean you're just never? You're not going to get on... Like, if they canceled the game...

No, I mean, I'll find another one. But was this a guy with the Rough Riders? No. No, it's like a... The promotion around it. Yeah, it's like a... Promotion... They do a bunch of these.

But he did say next year's tournament features Texas State. Next year, we gotta wait a year? He's got some time to get his Velo up. Let's just move on from it. Wow, and you've been thinking about this and thinking about it. Now it's just taken from you. But the thing is, and I think it's probably better for the show if I let you think that, but this change is nothing for me.

I'll be there Wednesday throwing. This is just like what I do now. So I know that's not exciting, but part of my workout now is I go throw off a mount, and it's fun. So we're going to stay ready. And then the final part of my weekend check was we did have big weather. And I know you guys aren't on Facebook much, but there's a feature where you can, you could, mark yourself safe from something. So your mom can see?

I think. Yeah. Like I'm safe from this tornado? I think, and I could be wrong, I think this started around, maybe just like. COVID. No, that didn't make sense. Maybe it is weather, but people were using it,

like, around terrorist attacks or school shootings where you could mark yourself safe. Now people do it for weather. I had one person over the weekend marked themselves safe from the weather and they were the only person to do so. So are you Mark Cuban leading the charge? Like, hey, let's retire Kobe's jersey.

Everyone will do it. You were the only one. Yeah, that's a, like, it's well-intentioned, I'm sure, but that's really silly. You never followed up on last I saw you. Would you show here Friday? Yeah. No, Fox.

With Kirk and Siroy. And we had Jordan Lucas on. Last I saw you, though, okay, maybe it was here. Maybe it was Thursday before the draft, yeah. You had gone for a hitting session. Oh, yeah. All sweaty, came back, different clothes. Yeah.

Did it pay off? Did we? We hit two bumbas. Oh. Oh. First game, we had the wind howling in, so I just murdered the third baseman. But second game, we elevated and celebrated. Got underneath them.

I like it. Elevated and celebrated. So I had a blast ball, soccer, all that. Friday, Saturday, Saturday morning. Of course, when the games are back-to-back, they're not at the same field. Soccer games weren't at the same field? No, I had Oak Grove baseball, Bob Jones soccer. Oh, okay.

Well, that's not intentionally hurting you. No, no. It's just that the kids play at 8 and 9, and they play. Sometimes there's a bunch of soccer fields right there. Are you a coach for each? No, no, not on blast ball. Though really, I don't know that that's a whole other conversation. So I get to soccer and it's mostly the same coaches.

I've seen most of the coaches a couple times and I know that there's some listeners, but we were getting ready to line up for equipment where they check their cleats and their shin pads. And now they check their ears. As I told you guys before, a lot of people had their ears pierced. and they told us last week that they need to be covered with tape. So all the moms brought tape this week. And I'm out there with the ref. He's probably 14.

And an older gentleman comes over. And he is, I guess, what is known as the red shirt. Because he's in charge. And he's probably 70. And he comes over. And he's like, all right, it's time for a shin pad, cleat, earring check. And what I did next was already straying away from the, McDowell way, which is going to be important here.

But I said, we got tape. The girls have tape. And he goes, that's not going to work. He goes, that's been a rule for as long as, you know, we've had whatever. No tape. What's the rule? He said they can't have earrings in and they can't have tape over them. And I said, well, a bunch of these girls, I think just got it done.

And I think they can't take them out or something. I'd have to see what the moms. Now the moms are coming over. And he goes, I don't care. He's like, you either got to take them out. He's like, but you can't have tape. And now the moms are coming up. And I'm like, dude, really?

I was like, well, we're not going to be able to play. And he goes, because now I'm finding out, it's not just Nora. It's not just her friend. It's basically the whole team. And they didn't spend $20 at Clares. And so, yeah, and apparently these things can get messed up pretty easily. And so I'm like, fuck me, man. I'm already starting to go kind of south.

And the other coach comes over and he just like, he's the boss. He's like, hey, let's just kind of like, chill. He's like, you know, my girls, most of them, same thing. He's like, this guy's going to leave. And I'm like, yeah, that's the move. And he's like, just chill. So we just kind of sat there and practiced on our own end for three or four minutes. And then the ref came over.

He's like, what are you going to do? I said, we're going to practice. And he goes, okay. And then they walked off. And one of my parents had a whistle. Okay, so you just told the association. All right, we're going to play the game. We're not playing then.

And they were like kind of confused. Then you had a game against the team. The most productive game we've had on both sides. We were subbing. We were moving the ball. But what about the stats? We had a dad from their team who was like, I'll do it. I'll ref.

We had a whistle. He got out there. We're here on a field. It was so much fun, dude. Like, it went great. And the guy, I told the guy. Well, no, weren't half the girls just crying? Yeah.

Because they got an earring ripped out. Yeah, it was so. Like, and the guy emailed me, his name is Derek. Super cool guy. And I told him because I told my wife afterwards. Not to knee pad you or anything. I was like, but I was like, that guy just medaled it, and I needed to listen to him because I was about to be like, what the fuck is your problem, dude?

Like, what are we doing here? The girls, like, some of them really like soccer, nor is in the middle, but some of them are like hearing we're not playing, and they're already freaking out. And I'm like, dude, and then he's just like, oh, let's just do nothing. Nice. And wait for this to work itself out. Nice. That's exactly what we did.

Yes. and you had a better game than you ever had before? That's awesome. It was a great time. Yeah. And then Saturday afternoon, we had put together a little group of volunteers. Because in my mind, if the Cowboys are drafting a safety in the first round, I owe the universe something. I'm in service mode.

So there's a thing out in Arlington. I think they have in a few places. It's called Miracle League. And it's basically blast ball, but it's special needs people. mostly kids, but like, you know how that goes. Somebody could be 30 and they're with the 10-year-olds. That's how it is. But you just go kind of help them play.

Like, they hit. Some of them are in wheelchairs, so you're pushing. Some of them have crutches. Some of them, none of that. And it's like, I think the idea of it is to give the parents a break. Is this disabled or mentally disabled? All types. So, I mean, their parents are there, but that's a very demanding parenting existence.

And I think the idea is like to let them go do something, the kids, the parents don't have to, like go stand in the field with them the whole time. Because most people need a buddy. So that's what you're there to do. So it's like you're coaching a team, but the parents aren't screaming at you the whole time? When we got there, the, and it's usually like a parent or a parent whose kid was in it and his graduate or whatever. Somebody's been around the organization. And I mean, it sounds corny, but when we got there, they're like, this is the only,

this is the only sports thing you're going to do where it really actually is about the kids like nobody's pissed about there's there's nothing to get upset about we're not really keep it score everything is like they got people on the mic you know they're doing play by play they got music it's just to make it fun that's all it is and it's freaking it's so much fun dude just pure joy there got a bunch of people out there the trucker and grim were out there Get him doing burpees and stuff? No, we didn't, but we, I had, like, they, first they would assign us. They kind of assigned you somebody, and I, they gave me a guy, I don't know how old he was,

but, you know, he was probably like third grade, maybe second grade mentally. That's kind of where my uncle topped out. And he was Japanese, his name was Haruki. Adult? No, like seven. He was probably like a 15-year-old, but he was seven years. So you go out to the field. he just sits down in the field

he's like I ain't I'm not I'm not doing this and then he just not really communicating with me half inning ends and I'm like all right it's time to hit you like to hit and he's like yeah so he's like running back up

like won't even wait his turn you know and they're like you gotta wait your turn man he's like I want to hit gets up there they won't let him hit this is the last game of their season they've been practicing so they're not letting him hit off teas even somewhere you're like

I feel like it'd be helpful if you get they're like no they've been practicing So they serve him one, he just looks at it. They give him another one, he just bashes one, left field, deep pull. And they're like, Ron, run to furs, run to furs. He's like, no. Just tosses the bat down goes back to the dugout. Hit and sit.

Big poppy. So Blake does. Yeah, he didn't want to run the bases. He didn't want to. Don't they do that in softball? You actually, it takes too much time to jog around the bases, right? Oh, yeah. But for most of the kids out there, that was like a.

That was a big part of the fun. It was like getting to first and like we're going to second hour running. He was just like, uh-uh. He just did it both times we got up to bat. He just crushed one and walked back to the dugout. It was a lot of fun, dude. So you're like, you told me this off the air, like in this blast ball where the kids are two years old and they don't have three or whatever. Like, everybody's screaming at him to run the first.

Everybody's like really, like, it's like life and death that they actually do this. correctly and you're saying at this it's it's fun it's nobody cares no let the guy had fun if he wants to hit you're just you're just like if a little three-year-old doesn't want to run the first they get on them yeah you're going to be very very intentional yeah but it dude is a lot of fun and we're going to go back in the fall you it's you know it's a good way to get a sweat in it's a good time and the lady like everything we do the lady was like uh this is one of the better groups we've had out here. You're like, all the parents are, like, really blown away.

Oh, like, you guys, you and the... I don't know what the bar is. I don't know if other people go out and start, like, giving nicknames or something, but... We were apparently... We were appreciated. And it was a lot of fun. All right.

I send you to the Twitter account of one Jimmy Johnson. We will take a look. And what does it say? What's the caption there? Can we scroll that and see the caption? The caption is, of course. Cut off. Oh, there it is.

Troy and Rich caught a nice Wahoo. This shows three guys holding a big giant fish. Troy Aikman, Jimmy Johnson, and Rich Dalrymple. And I just thought, okay, cool. Things that are back. I'm glad they're back. I'm glad they're friends. I'm glad you still support your friend.

But it's a guy who hasn't really been in the public eye in a while. No. Decade? Yeah, it was a... Has it been that long? Well, it was the 2015 draft, but I think the story came out six, seven, eight years ago. But, man, he'd be put on some poundage. Looks good, though.

Okay. Yeah. I thought you were going to do the Today and Twitter. Oh, you got another one. I lost my account. I don't have Twitter anymore. When? Like this morning.

Because you were tweeting this morning. I tweeted a photo last night of a couple photos from the Miracle League thing and it got flagged as like a copyright deal. Wait, what? What are you saying? I'm saying I posted a photo of us from the special needs baseball thing and they sent me an email saying this is a copyright violation of some sort. I mean, it was taken with, like, my phone.

Okay, I see that photo. And, um... But you can't get in? No, no, I'm locked out. They're, like, reviewing it. I don't know how this is going to go. I may have lost my account. Miracleleag, DFW.com.

There's a picture of you with a bunch of people. Just of all the things that you've been a part of on Twitter. I know. I know I had an astronaut one time. What a kick-ass thing. field you run. Yeah, it's cool because, I mean, obviously you need to be able to do the wheelchairs, so there's some level of, you know, you've got to be able to roll around out there.

Have you seen the new high school fields? Oh, yeah. Like, they're in. Yeah. The South Lake softball, the money they put into the South Lake softball field is probably like what Three Rivers Stadium cost to build back in 1970. Yeah. Did they go turf?

Oh, yeah. Everything's turf. Yeah. The infield. No maintenance. Right. They have a brown turf to make it look like there's base paths, but everything is turf. Have you heard my silly bit on this?

They make the warning track brown too. Oh, yeah. Right. The point of the warning track is I'm running. I feel it under my feet that I need to slow down or I'm going to hit this wall. Right. Yes. Could have just lifted that.

Lift that out? But unless you want to talk about Russell Wilson playing baseball for the Savannah Bananas yesterday. No, but I did see last night at Academy that in the baseball section there is a dedicated Savannah Banana area. It's taking hold, folks. Blown up? Can we do a football version of? The Savannah Bananas is the Harlem Globetrotters, right? Yeah.

How can we do a football? Is football like just too real? It's just too dangerous. think. Just too real. All right. So here's my top story coming out of draft weekend. We missed this Thursday night, but the Giants ended up with Arvel Reese, Edge, linebacker out of Ohio State. I heard someone's, one of our

draft buddies say this, but it's really kind of interesting to see how certain guys, like, you don't get Arvel Reese going there without Micah becoming Micah because the Cowboys were not super excited about Micah when they got it. They didn't trade up to get him. But now you got a guy like Arvel Reese who didn't rush the passer at times. So they did the opposite of what they did this year. Yeah, they moved back one. They moved back one thinking, he'll still be there, no problem.

Yeah. But now, because Micah's popped the way he is, a player like Arvel Reese's top five. So this is from, I guess, the immediate press conference he did just for team, social media, This is not the intro press conference he did the next day. I don't even think this was on television, but it's amazing. Tom Long over here from the Disability Channel. Okay, so already you see that I have my antenna up for bit. Because to me, if I were going to do, if I were stuttering John or something,

that's what you would call the channel, right? Like, it's too easy. Tom Long over here from the Disability Channel. And with the veterans, what? Okay. And with the veterans, like, it just sounds so made up. And with the veterans, what are you looking forward to make an impact in the NFL working with the salute to service and the children this year? Where are you looking to make an impact?

Like, this guy's got a credential. He's talking to a top five overall pick in the draft. In the NFL working with the salute to service and the children this year, where are you looking to make an impact? Ask that one more time. You're making impacts in the veteran community and a disability with the children this year for the NFL. I have it. I don't know how to answer that. Great answer.

If you actually repeat it 10 more times, I really have no idea what you're saying. We play his, huh, again. Obviously, that means that I had to, I had to find out if this was a bit, right? So you look up the disability channel, and you look up and said, Tom, something, Dave. There's a real, there's a, there's a guy named Dave Stevens, who is, he claims. on his website, Dave Stevens, the first legless athlete in the U.S. has accomplished what most people only dream of. So he's like a motivational speaker, and I found a Facebook page where he's at the draft. He's at a hotel in Pittsburgh. And why? Why is he just talking about the draft?

Well, good afternoon, those of you watching the Disability Channel. This is Dave Stevens, and my new friend, Thomas, introduce yourself. Thomas Long, the CEO of the Disability Channel U.S., veteran Corner host, and Veterans TV coming soon. So there's like a 20-minute podcast where these two guys are just sitting down, talking about... They're always sitting down. It's a good point, and it may come back up.

I guess they're there, and they said that they brought out some of the draft, the possible draft picks to work with the Special Olympics kids, and they kind of talk about that. But then they sort of just start giving their takes on society and on how, you know, if I was going to be drafted, I'd be very appreciative. I wouldn't need somebody to pay me to show up and get an endorsement. If I just had one leg, I'd be fired up.

And that guy has a credential. Because that's a force field, right? If you apply for a credential with the dumb zone, we're going to really need to talk. And he looks, you know. But if you're with the disability channel that supports veterans that don't have legs. Doesn't have legs. In.

Now, let me pick this up about 10 minutes later because it was something. Dave Steven speaks platforms. And where can they find the socials that you are starting, my friend? So you can find us at apexba.b.org. And then you can also find national social media. Dot us out there on, what is it, Instagram. and check out what's happening in June. June 7th.

I just thought this was the most amazing collection. Always dropping that frame about that. And I love it. So, I'm not up for any of those awards. I should be getting a leggy or something. Oh. You've got to give something away, right?

Goodness. Always, always dropping that hint. Always dropping that frame about that. And I love it. And yo, so this is just the first year of me being involved. So I guarantee you, you're going to be coming down that red card. next year and being a part of everything that we got going on. As we expand and build, we're going to have NSMA, we're going to have the kids'

NSM, and then we're going to have the veterans NSM. And there's nobody I would want more standing, standing, standing, standing, or sitting on my red carpet than you do. Even that guy walked into it. I don't know what they're talking about. NSMA makes me uncomfortable. Yeah. Especially kids' NSM.

That sounds like N-F M, C-F, N-M, C-M-C-M-C-M-C. Well, the Cowboys clearly won the draft. Next question. I don't know what else there is to discuss. It's interesting. It's...

I can't really remember a time when everybody has been so sure that the first pick is an absolute home run, probably a Hall of Famer. Now what can we move on to? Doesn't that seem odd for a... What pick do we have? The 11th pick in the draft?

Let me give you one quick, very light, just because it's interesting to be breaking news story. Yeah, okay. Texas Tech's quarterback. Bairnd Morton? No, Brandon Sorsby, the new one. The new one is taking an immediate leave of action, or leave of absence.

for gambling addiction. The new quarterback? This is now where we are and where we will be. You know, people getting their heads around sex addiction was a weird one. If a guy is far enough to actually have to step up and make this public. Yeah. Like he must be in the hole for... Yeah.

Yeah. Over a million, I would say. But it's probably not. I mean, dude, how much is he getting... It was four or five million a year or something? Really? Yeah. Yeah.

They'll go get another one. Oh, yeah. But we stand with Brendan. But who knew that? No, but to your point. There'd be any problems. I think, right? I think sometimes this stuff is not that complicated.

If you just take the chalk, the consensus big board is usually right. It's just a collection of it's 32 teams and it's all the people, like, they're not going to be that wrong that often. The problem is when you buck it a lot, and the Cowboys, and they've done that before. You know, they've bucked the, I mean, but the other thing, too, is most of the first rounds that they've had that have been hits, they've just been hits. You're not like freaking out the next day over Travis Frederick or Zach Martin

or probably even Tyrant Smith to this degree, right? I mean, those are great picks where they went with the board. This is just the first time that they went with the board And it was, you know, a player that's like a... I mean, CD was... People were pretty excited about CD, man. Yeah, this is... I'd say this is right there, maybe below that.

But the only reason this is different is because, again, they had a historically bad defense. And there's no question. With CD, it was almost like, I don't know. We do have Gallup. Like, Micah was kind of a disappointment. Had Amari. That's what I'm saying.

The next day you came out... Yeah. I was not thrilled about it at all. Yeah, not. It was just like maybe, I don't know, but gosh, those other cornerbacks, that's who we really wanted. Yeah, so maybe we're overrating it because we're thirsty, but it can be that we're thirsty and it can be that this is awesome. I also wonder, though, so the Micah thing, he gets drafted same year they have a new defensive

coordinator and coming off a really bad defense, and it worked out very, very well because the defense instantly got better. Like Micah clearly can make players around him better. The Caleb Downs, we just don't know. Can a safety or whatever hybrid thing that he's going to be, can that have the same effect? He might be great at that position, and he might be able to bark out orders,

and actually he doesn't ask their opinion. That's a dumb thing that's shoddy said again. Let me put it to you like this. Would you rather have Janice or Luca? To me, it's like you can either get a guy who structurally your team can be pretty shitty. Like, well, I'm just saying that you can put Micah on any team. Structurally, you have all sorts of problems. They don't really have any sort of schematic, philosophical commitment.

Just put him philosophical. Just put him out there. You're going to have to block him with three people. He's going to free people up. If he leaves, you're fucked. because the whole thing is built around him. You're not really doing anything defensively. You're not disguising anything.

You're not confusing anything. You're moving Micah around. If you get a safety that actually can court or anybody, but I think a safety is ideal, who can actually structurally communicate your defense. Now that's like a point guard. Michael wasn't making people around him better. Michael was making people around him unblocked.

I think this is the type of dude. Which. Yeah, yeah, it's going to lead to better stats for sure. But I think this is the type of dude, and I'm not trolling because we got into the communication argument last week. I think it's a type of guy who makes sure that you're not busting coverages and fits every other snap. And to me, that's like... That was that big of a problem? Feels like that's all they were ever talking about, which is crazy because they're pro football players.

But it seems like last year it was just bust after bust after bust after these guys don't want to learn it. well, I don't want to teach it this way. I don't want to blame Iverflus for all that. And some of those guys are still here. It's not like it was all Trayvon. But I think having a guy who's just in charge and gets people in the right spot, coaches family, military family, I think you just need a guy who's in charge. Micah was never going to be that.

No. And so I think physically there's nobody like Micah. There's just not. I don't know. Right. And that's the thing. Do you want that guy instead? Well, what's really frustrating is you didn't have to choose.

There's no, none of this had to be this way. They made it this way. Right. You could have had Micah and added him to a sound structural defense or built one around him, and now you can use him in different ways as he gets older. Like Arvel Reese would, if that was on the board at the same time, you take him, right? Sure, yeah. I mean, the Giants have, what's his name?

Brian Burns, right? But I'm saying, who would the Cowboys have taken? Probably, Reese. Yeah. Okay. But I think that's because of the Cowboys. To me, the fact that they took Downs does, it just signals it different. It's different.

And you know what's not ideal is to having to be herky jerky back and forth each side of the road where you have to spend an entire draft on defense. Like, that's not how you're supposed to be doing this. It should be like an even. just kind of build, we go play off of each other, you manage it, you know, if you're having to throw this much capital at something, you've done something wrong. Now, how you're able to fix it, who knows? But, man, I don't know. I'm pretty fired up, dude. I mean, I know that they're not playing games, but the part that they are doing that we can talk about, it's pretty sweet. They also made a trade. And he'll start, I would imagine. For a linebacker?

Hornfrog. Hornfrog? What's his name, D? D. Winner. who... 17 games starter. Played a lot of games because of injury, right? To other people in San Francisco. You know, they're going to have to pay him right away. I guess he has one year left. So he's pretty cheap right now.

But if they want to keep him, he already has three years under his belt. They'll probably have to pay him next year, right? Yeah, and you've got to figure out what's going on with Oversone, who just hired David Mulligeta. Yeah, Oversone hired an agent. Did they think they had a shot at Sunny Stiles? Is that why they waited until after the first round?

Don't know. I mean, Stephen claimed they had been talking about this for a while. Also in the first round, the rumor was, so the cowboy, the, what's the situation with that viral video? The Cowboys were on the clock. the it was the Eagle Steelers Cowboys thing

where the Eagles ended up trading with the Cowboys to move up to take the wide receiver that the Steelers wanted. The Steelers are on the phone

with McKay Lim and telling them they're going to take him but they're not on the clock. Right, they were two picks away. Yeah. But they figured, oh, Cowboys aren't taking him. The Steelers probably will take him.

We need to jump up. So the rumor initially was that the cowboys got wind of this. They figured out who the Steelers were going to take and then called Philly. And a good friend of ours who talked to the guys, I texted him because I was like, hey, I didn't hear this brought up during the press conference. Like, that's what I wanted to address. They did bring up during the press conference.

Hey, any worry about trading with your rivals? Because I'm bothered by that. I don't think it's like, well, you know, we trade with everybody. There's lots of teams. We got to play lots of teams. That's pretty much what they said at the press conference. Jerry's like, you know, I want to beat Steelers too. I want to beat all these teams.

I don't know. I don't think it'll be great if you let an awesome wide receiver get to Philly and that guy is giving you problems twice a year for the next five, however many years. I think that sucks. think it's a horrible decision. Yeah, but what if you have to do it to get your guy? You didn't. But you didn't know that, right?

Yeah, you did. You already had the pick. You only did that thinking, you know what? I can get two more picks down the line in the fourth round. That's why they did it. Jerry had just watched draft day. Jerry just watched draft day. They had made the trade to go up already, so they kind of needed to, if I can get two fourth,

rounders, like that'll obviously, we look brilliant because we moved up in every round of the draft. I don't know. I think it's worth a, I think two fourth rounders is good. I think two picks is good. But I don't like giving Philly someone they really had, like, would Philly have done that? If they saw that it was the same CD-LAM situation, they're like, hey, I want to, I don't think they do.

I'm pretty sure Howie Roseman absolutely doesn't let a receiver like C.D. Lamb get to Dallas, and he would consider it. He would probably trade two fourth rounders to make sure they didn't. Now, the more you say it. So it's a bother to me. But I did learn it was not the, they set it in the walkoff that it was not the Cowboys that called. It was the Eagles saw this and did the same thing, that the Cowboys had done previous. They called the Cowboys.

because they got win. They thought the Steelers were going to take that wide receiver. And they were. A little audio? Yeah. Let's see. I don't know what we should start with. Let's just go with, so we have day two and day three press conference stuff.

We can mix and match the year, but you like this one, right? What a lot of time between picks on day two? Yeah. So they asked Jerry, what did you? do with all that free time on your hands? I'm the world's most active noodler. I don't even want to look at this noodle and I've done for the last six hours.

It might scare me. But I do want to add one other thing, but I didn't stay busy. And we actually, we got a chance and should have, as it would have it, we did a lot of discussing football players while we were in there, the ones that we looked at in the drive. draft, those guys sitting around, your top scouts. We're all sitting there. We're talking football.

We're talking what makes a player, all that kind of stuff. You didn't waste that great time together. That's what I think you're doing. You're at football work. It's so funny to me how he's like, it's, it was funny. It came up the other day, the draft. Where were you? I was at the draft.

I was at the war room. This was a funny part of that too. What does he think we think he's doing? But this is what else he was doing. We did a list of all the fourth round players that we've had here, Murray, and just go down to them. Dak was our second year. And there's a nice little list, by the way,

while we had time to talk, waiting on the deal to go by today. So we just started listing our fourth round of the past. Man, that's, you know, a lot of teams. How many can you remember? Well, I remember Murray. This is a, this is. I remember Jack. The Cowboys, a lot of people,

think, well, this is analytics, baby. This is not the Stone Age Cowboys. This is, we make a list of guys we drafted before. And we remember the good names. I meant to do that this morning. I didn't do it. I wanted to go actually make a list of every fourth rounder and then just see how impressive it is.

I guess if you land DAC. Well, I used to tell you this, but it would break all the draft value charts. They would do like a 10-year, if you get a quarterback at 135, the value is, there's just, there's no end to it. it but they did have some pretty nice fortharound anthony hitchins was a nice player yeah can i interest

you and i forgot before i started playing audio meant to mention uh own well one of our uh sponsors as well they're the man they send a email to me just on friday i believe it was that they're working on my tax uh they're working to get my taxes down my tax property tax uh you know what i'm saying the appraisal values and notices have come out they are in the mail soon uh so you can see if your assessments are increasing or decreasing. I'll tell you what, they're increasing. And Ownwell can find savings for you. Many opportunities for Ownwell to find savings for homeowners this year.

So check out Ownwell. What's the CTA on Ownwell? Ownwell.com slash the Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. You get signed up super quick. They take an industry leading or trailing, I don't know, amounts from what they actually save you. It's about 25% other. intermediaries can be up to like 50%.

And you're only paying Ownwell if they save you money. So it's no risk. It's very little time commitment. Ownwell.com slash the dumb zone. I laughed at that part really hard because I think Jerry he thinks that he has to tell us that he does football stuff. And there probably are some people that are like,

yeah, I bet he was gone. I bet he was just gone during the down period of the draft. Stephen will assure us that the Cowboys are best. Or is it, who is this? Stephen or Shotty's going to tell us how the Cowboys are best at this? We get them here. They get a chance to meet with. Yeah, this is obviously Brian Schottenheimer telling us,

why are they great? We get them here. They get a chance to meet with, you know, from ownership down to Will and his guys, the coaches. And so I feel like we get a very comprehensive. 30-vis. Pre-draft process. evaluation of them and not just their football learning but what they're about.

Their understanding of fitting into a team culture and putting the team above themselves and we always find ways to compete. So I think it's that we do it really well. We find the right guys to bring in and it's a little easier to sign off when you know what you're buying, especially when you see the talent on film but you also know the type of person that you're bringing into that locker room. He thinks it's because he does hockey and putt-put that the draft process works. Well, they had Caleb Downs in.

And I just think what I love about him is he is so comfortable in his own skin that you see him, whether it's walking into the head coach's office the very first time, and you do put-putt. He's comfortable and quite often kick my ass. That's the only thing, the saddest part of draft night to me, and it will be this way for the next few years. is just when somebody cool has to meet Shottie. And it just realized, like, man, I'm going to be having to be dealing with this.

Let's just keep rolling through this. Yeah, what up, fam. Big dog. I want to play this for Blake. These are just different reporters questions. You're fellow, Patrick Walker, Dallas Cowboys. Don't have to answer this. We talked a lot in the pre-draft process about marrying with the scouting department.

department does and the traits you guys are looking for with Christian Parker's wants for the defense. Versatility seems to be... Let me fast forward 45 seconds. 45. To Caleb Downs, being the overall pick and just how concerned effort that has been for you guys to make sure that you get versatile. Okay, very long question.

Then Will McLeigh answers it, and then Patrick Walker will grade the answer to his question. Good. but that's a big, big part of it. And, Shottie, from a coaching standpoint, that's a great point that Will makes the Oh, man. I felt so secondhand cringe when I saw and heard that. Hey, that's a great point, guy who's been in the NFL for 40 years. Let me lob one over to the coach over here and see if I can validate myself to him.

Here's another reporter, if we're looking at reporters for a moment. I've never heard this one before. Jonah Devott WFAA Jonah Someone asked my question a little bit earlier So I'll give you a softball How do you guys stay wired?

How about you don't say that? Okay What are we learning? I fully agree with you. I was really bad. Hey, someone asked my question earlier. I'm a reporter. I didn't have another one

and then I will tell you this one's just a real easy one that shouldn't even be asked. Why are you talking then? Do you just have to show Tad? Look, look, no, no, no, I had, but I'm also telling Tad, look, I had one question. Right. Fucking Kalashaw.

I actually think that that could have been a good question. Had he just not dressed it up as like, I don't know, I know it looks small. That's what I'm saying. That's like, I hate when people do that. Don't point out that I had a different question. Just, they don't know that. I know. They weren't with you all day.

You just feel like, dude, this is such a grueling process. How do you guys, like, actually stay in it? Are you coffee guys? like are you just doing breathing at what do you do well let's hear his question someone asked my question a little bit earlier so i'll give you a softball how do you guys stay wired as these drafts go on and the players become maybe a little less notable to the general level he's staying engaged as how do you say engaged like i think personally it's actually a bad question i think there was a way that it could have been good but because people are interested in like diane campbell's caffeine order you

You know, like if Dan Campbell says, like, oh, I have $1,800. Okay. If you get something like that, there's something there. Or get in and get out. Yeah. How do you stay engaged as each pick kind of goes on? That's what we do for a living, right? I mean.

Yeah, we get paid to be here at the draft. Like, I don't know. How did you stay engaged as we did like a three-hour broadcast on Thursday night for the draft? And like two and a half hours in, Jake's still watching it. Jake's still talking. I don't know, Jonah, you're fired up to be at Arlington Sigeon in two nights, you know? Like, this is the job. Right.

Jerry answers it, though. Cougars. So you ask us all the question. It's the old miner that's done it. All of his life broken down, been over. He's been hitting that pick to hit that gold. God, I love it. And he doesn't hit one time, walks away.

And a fresh guy walks up there, young guy, just bam, and there's the gold mine. the facts are that if you hit that thing enough, you get to do it. And so you've just got to go back and do it and do it. And I've seen it happen. I've seen us pick great players in the fourth round. Murray, people like that. Jesus. You're quarterback, dude.

Anyone else? Anyone else? Romo. Romo. We've got some great free agents. Remo. If we're grading the media, let's keep doing this. Hold on.

Can I just say that this is an odd press conference to be like, God, someone took my question. Like, what awesome question did you? I haven't heard anything yet thus far. They had lined up where you're like, God damn, I can't pivot. Let me now turn the tables here, Jonah. What was the question you were going to ask? Were you camped out on what do you guys think of the draft? I haven't heard anything.

It is interesting that the cowboys do it like this, because like I told you, I'll start to listen to some other ones too. Most other teams will do the, I'm going to come out, I have my own statement. Yeah. Now I open it up to questions.

Like after a game. But they leave this to, like they go, Calvin. So Calvin has to ask like the most generic, so what do you think of the draft? Literally. Like he,

yeah. Assess what you guys did today. Right. So that's what the team is, I'm calling this, I'm going to say this, and now any questions about that and more. It's not like, hey, now you guys just ask us everything and we pretend.

It's very weird. Here's another one I labeled a softball question. Don't remember what this is. Will your staff, I've done a really good job on day three. How much pride? Okay. Yeah. How about a question?

Not proud at all. I think we kind of suck. But he's saying that they've obviously done a great job. I love Nick. You're a reporter. Yeah. Will your staff. I've done a really good job on day three.

How much pride do you all put in these day three guys in UDFAs, and specifically this year's process? How confident are you doing? Yeah, it's a big, big part of it. Well, McLeese. Not really. I don't put a lot of pride in that, and they're not very confident to tell you the truth.

Kind of just throwing darts. Let's see. Oh, let me give you some real Jerry stuff. One, okay. One, we're going to work in shoddy, trying comedy at the end. It's the worst thing you've ever heard. Jerry is talking about the offense and the fact that they drafted a lot of defense, right? And then you got the shot he want more offense.

And Brian's excellent. And that's got to have come from his very background how he grew up. But he's excellent now. I hired him because of his dad. And he'll sit up there and he can be as cold and as factual and as bright-lined. about what's best for the whole team. And although obviously he's at the end of the day, we've got to move that ball to have a job.

All offense tomorrow, guys. Not. We got a guy who's doing not. He just watched Borat. He's doing not. He's doing not. He's doing not humor. Sike!

Yeah, he did the shake hand. Yeah. Is he going, you got a little something on your shirt. Like, ah! Waus up! I just heard this new bit. You guys are going to love this. Hey, Will, Will, what's that?

Okay, just talking about the fact that they, there's some behind the scenes back and forth to go on. Not everything is smooth behind the scenes with the cops. debate. We had a hell of a debate in there yesterday morning before the draft yesterday morning on something that was very immaterial right there. And we were going at it and I could, I had to let up. I could see Will getting red. He's getting hot. He got, he's getting hot. Do you ever try and stir it up on purpose? Do you ever try and stir it up on purpose? Really? That's what I do. That's what I do.

Yeah, that's what I do. I love them so much. And I love that on day three, Stephen turns into, like, we're in Montana gear. Like, listen, the first three rounds are suits. But Saturday's a vest day. Really? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Okay, so why was the draft of success, Jerry? We have five first round draft picks that we didn't have this time last year on defense. Quentin, Clark, I'm taking liberty, Gary, Downs, and Lawrence. So right there, we've added five first round picks that weren't a part of the team this time last year. We've added nine new players on defense this offseason between trades and free agencies. Nine new on defense. We've added nine new defensive coaches out of ten coaches on defense. We've added nine new ones.

We not only that, and coach could speak to that if you want to interview, but we have changed the concept of what we're doing defensively. The total concept. Tell you what this does. I actually had Sadd mentioned this on the one-star podcast. It does raise the bar a little bit from the second that Christian Parker was hired. We kind of thought any little improvement is going to, you know, will laud this guy.

So you know how they are? No, dude. They were like, we gave you the tools. Yeah. No, I... Dude, all of our draft was spent on the defense, and they're still shit? I thought you guys said this. I thought you could use Caleb Downs in all these ways.

He was going to be great. We're giving up 30 points a game here. Listen, I said to you guys last... Because I had to write this in the column, like you'd kind of look for what are people going to be critical of? They're going to say it's too complicated. because also if anything that's worth installing and being good at for a three, four-year period, it wouldn't make sense if they're awesome at it and it's all in place week one.

It's probably going to take to at least the middle of the season to be what you're going to be. They give up 35 in those, at any point that first month, it's going to be, are we asking too much? It's just a little too complicated because we forget how these things go. Jerry tries to say a word. One of the most glaring things in my mind, in our minds that we didn't do on defense was communicate. Was communicate right when it's time to get people set up to be in their best position to make a play. That's what this guy was built to do and coached and grown up to do. He'd heard his background yesterday, coaching everywhere in it, generations of it.

and then he's put it out there. So you need you a cerebral, cerebral guy. Yeah, that's a tough one. I kind of steer past that exit when I see it. All right, this one is over a minute long. And this is concerning. Like, this is real talk now. Let's talk football because this is your GM.

This is a general manager of your football team. And it might be him talking about Christian. Parker. I made my mind up that I was going to know more through this draft process than I knew when I was looking at our defense over the last couple of years what we're trying to accomplish and how we were trying to coordinate it. And I made my mind up that through the interview process as well as the process of talking about the players to play in this play that I was going to I was going to get out of this draft process and where we are with this personnel right now and I was going to know more not necessarily feel better but I was going to know more about what we're

trying to do out there this year okay and he was one of the better teachers for me and articulate guys of turn the light on for me of some of the things he wanted to do. So the first thing you got to do is peel that. Well, we do it this way around here. You got to peel that out and sit there and work real hard to see where he's trying to go. He's very impressive like that. And if he can do it to this one, then he'll be a whiz doing it to those players and their minds and their execution out there.

Seriously, it really. gave me. Now, don't ask me to get on the board and recall. I can't do that for you. But if somebody will put it up there and then tell me again, I recognize it better than I did when we started. And he was a big part of that. Again, the title of that cut is concerning coming from a general manager. Yeah. And I believe that I don't back on that. It's an interesting thing to publicly be like, I'm a football general manager, and I'm using my coach interviews to learn the game of football. For the first time in a few years. Or does he think what's been wrong with the defense is he hasn't been keeping up with it?

Yeah. Just get in there and, you know, socks the jocks or whatever. So Shottie jumps in. Real quick. Does Christian Parker want to quit yet? Dude, they're... Between Shottie and now having to teach Jerry. Dude, yeah, and it feels like he is community college brochured right now so hard where they're just like, look, we got this guy, he's fucking cool, he's black, just leave us alone.

He's young. I've noticed another bingo for Shottie. It is, Shottie is football guy. He knows lots of football, and he's going to use, like, football terms to prove that he's football guy. And he does that after Jerry just said what he just said. And what was really cool for me, honestly, I've been around a long time to see. He does like to tell you, been around a long time. Because you got, no one's ever heard of me before last year, but I assure you. Don't you feel like, I assure you. I hear Kyle, I hear Kyle Shanahan saying that all the time.

Like, you might forgot I've been around a while. Also, he's talking off mic at the beginning because no one was expecting him to talk, but he had to jump in. Very astute engineer observation. And what was really cool for me, I'm pleased to see these two gentlemen over here, there's not many owners that want to know what gap and a half means and stack and fallback and things like that. It was really cool how they jumped in and were curious and would ask questions. And I think it's awesome.

Test them to them. Well, I'm the general manager. Well, yeah, you're both. I thought that was. like your grandpa was over. Incredibly awkward. But I'm the... Yeah, you sure are, bud.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you are. It's awesome. Test them to them. I'm the general manager. Well, yeah. You're both. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Keep being general manager there. God, I love this team, dude. I love it. You are our little general manager, aren't you? I love everything about it. You're all general managing. Genuine manager.

You look so... Managing. Okay. I got one more shot of you smart guy, bingo. Let's see. You know, the way you really teach anymore in phase two when you get on the grass is this concept teaching. You're teaching guys how to, you're the quarter hook dropper or hey, you're, you've got

speed at three, so you're the danger player that's got to overlap. This MF has spent two or three months in defensive meetings and secondary meetings, and now all of a sudden he's going to come in talking like this. You know, I know, let me tell you something else, too. He's threatened. You say is there a lot of, does Christian Parker want to quit yet? Christian Parker and to an extent Clayton Adams, but let's just stay with Parker because that's what we're talking about.

That guy is the real fucking deal, right? He's a guy who is like end of roster grinding tape to try to get on as like a GA. And he at 34 has come through Vic Vanjillo system, like one of the most old school, hardcore, like, respected scheme guys in the NFL, right? And we're all here crowning this guy. You don't think Shottie's, like, kind of on the side, like, I'm also pretty cool. Don't forget.

Been around a long time. Here's a thing. I know that Shadi's got a level of confidence because he's an NFL head coach, but he also knows that he didn't do it the way that guy did. And he knows just like any time you're somebody's son or whatever, people are looking at you kind of sideways. And then they see the real guy walk through the door And they're like, oh, okay

No, no, no, no, I was him Yeah, I bet you were. I was him like 20 years, everybody's talking about me. Go look it up. I mean, don't look it up. Don't look it up. The dumps, a, dumps, a, dumps a... And I also told that Chuck Graham,

state senators here. Chuck, stand up, Chuck, let him see you. Oh, God love you. What am I talking about? I tell you what? You're making everybody else. stand up though pal thank you very very much i tell you what stand up for chuck thank you pal you tell i'm new good to see you buddy thank you you're listening to the dumb zone you know mother's day is

So I think where we're headed is to tell you about... The list of people I got to buy for, I'll tell you. This blanket. By Lola.

Yeah. I have an apartment complex, and I just signed up Puddle Pools to do all 20 of my. Have you guys heard of them? But they mentioned it later, yeah. Oh, no, another emergency. The Dumbzel presents. today and Twitter. I don't know if we have the whole tweet,

but we do have the video from the tweet. You're looking at Caleb Downs and Brian Schottenheimer. Brian Chattonheimer has a putting green in his office. And Brian Schottenheimer made the putt, and he has defeated Caleb Downs. I don't write this man. And yeah, Shadi is... Why does it feel like there's worship music playing?

Made it. Because it's Shattie's a office. Faith Family Football Pillow right there. Shottie, a Mount Filey guy? Does he have like a conjoined triangles of success type thing on the, like a pyramid? Made it. God!

Would you think that he does? Look at the end of the background. Dude, he does. He absolutely does. He's got some sort of, um, pyramid of sayings. He's such a saying guy. He put up Downs' footage on the TV.

Oh, my God. Oh, it's footage of Caleb Downes. Sorry, I was just watching your tape. Oh, sorry. Funny, you should walk in while I have a film crew here. And a golf club in my hand. How embarrassing this is. See, I thought you were going to today and Twitter me,

Blake, your boys, stepped in it last week. What did we got? Who? Dude Perfect posted a video. video where whatever the main one is, he's doing like the, on the screen, it shows that he's been drafted. And he's like, me? I'm getting drafted? They stole that.

It's a complete copy of SAS's bit. It's like one of the most viral bits on the internet of the last four or five years. Definitely. I don't know what it is. But you're not like big internet guy, but it's the guy kid pointing at himself with a corona in his hand. He's like, me? It was one of the biggest memes ever. And you think dude perfect recreating it is a bad bit?

They didn't even try to change it. Are they doing it like as an homage? Because we've done that, right? I don't know. People immediately started just dragging him for it. They were like, shut out though to SAS. It's like he points at his, like him so. It's the exact same bit.

It's really weird. I mean, I guess it could be a tribute, but. They're just such deep level thinkers that you don't understand it? I also thought you were going to play a video of your boy Clave. Go on? Yeah, dude. Do we spoil it? Go ahead, tell him.

He got a girl pregnant. Remember how he said. Well, that'll happen. Oh. Remember he was going to do that dating thing and find a girl and get her pregnant because he wanted to be a dad? He did it. Oh, well, that's great. I thought that he was not able to have kids.

That's what I thought, too. At least in one of his other interviews, yeah, he was talking about the fact that he does so much testosterone that he may have had to lay off for a little while or something or maybe i don't know but it also could be fake blake well i believe instagram so baby clav is on the way looks like it and he was crying on her on on his stream massive cortisol spike do you think he would make a would he todd merinovitch the baby like is he going to let the smash in the baby's jaw and stuff or yeah as as it goes because they're very pliable when they're little My kid had like a helmet.

Many kids do. You can just kind of shape it. Why don't we helmet their whole face? Their whole body. Yeah. One more cowboy thing, and we'll get into it more tomorrow when I have, we'll have Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence audio. You have to remember, of course, all of this is spin, right? In that because I listen to both press conferences.

And with one guy, and I listen to him in order, so Malachi Lawrence went first, and Caleb Downs went next. When Malachi Lawrence is up there, all they can do is follow all of themselves of this guy is an awesome leader. He is a wonderful leader. These are the kind of guys we want on this team. How do you prove that he is that lead? You know what he did? He stayed at one school. Stay at one school the whole time.

Okay. And in fact, had an opportunity. Probably could have gone somewhere else. Decided to stay at the same school. Okay, so then does that mean there's other guys a shit bag? Or how are we going to get to? Actually, no, no, no. We just not get everybody out of here.

Now we get him back. Now we got Caleb Downs up there. Okay, you're the same guys, though. He's an incredible leader. He's an awesome leader. You know why? One school? Well, no.

But he led the defense at both Alabama and Ohio State. So he just kind of left. Alabama as a freshman. Why didn't he leave them? Alabama as a freshman. So. It is funny. T.C. went off on me last night.

About? He was just like, listen, I know you're excited, but I want to establish the baseline. This kid's a bitch. Malachi? No. Or Caleb, oh. Why? Leaving Alabama.

Because he hates, he's a Notre Dame fan. And the idea of somebody being like, I'm at Alabama, but now I want to go to Ohio State, where it's only going to be even easier. Well, no, it's probably because you... It's because you... It's because you just didn't see a spot. You didn't see yourself starting. No, you were already starting as a freshman.

That's the thing. Like, if you're a backup quarterback or something, yes, do you leave as the starter? It's very KD. You're the starter, but I think this team is a little better now. I don't care. You sign up to play for a coach and he leaves. That's what I say. That's what I say.

It does... Especially saving is a DB. You're like, this is what I'm tying myself to. And if he goes, you can go. There's nothing. you could say about Caleb Downs right now. But like I said about the Mika thing, Micah's impact, I mean, are you saying Arvel Reese's impact?

Could that be making others around him better? Like, in fact, Caleb Downs, is he as good as you think he is? We don't know, but I do know that the NFL is headed in a direction that the way the Cowboys have been playing defense for the last 10 to 20 years is it's butt and it's dead. It's over. that's gone. And the fact of... Are the Cowboys like the last one to pick up on this?

They're one of, if not the last ones. Yes. You're going to have a handful of teams that are... This is a common theme, though, with the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, they play a very basic vanilla style of defense and they don't spend a ton of resources to do it, which doesn't even make sense. Typically, if you're going to be like, okay, well,

we're going to be an off team that's all about offense, we're going to hire offensive coaches, we're going to do... You wouldn't also have to spend all of your money and draft picks on offense. You know what I mean? Like somewhere that would pick its up. You got Jason Garrett, he's a guru. Why do we have to draft an offensive lineman every year?

But defense, it's like boring and we're not putting shit into it. And in the span of a year, they did, which part of having like a rational person in charge is they can change their mind very quickly. Yeah. Today's news brought to us by Harry's razor. Oh, man, that'll help you get squared away for the week. No doubt. A nice head shave with a. Harry's razor.

You'll hit the road with that thing. I don't make it into the trip. Oh, for sure. Yeah, I might have to go buy another one so I can pack one and then have one just stay in here. Ready. My home harries and my road harries. Harries.com slash dumb zone. Get you the plus trial set for just $10.

So you'll get the razor, the five-blade cartridge, some foaming shave gel, and a travel cover. That gets you kind of started there. For $10? How are they staying in business? Then you can just switch over from there. That's what I've done. That's what Dan's done. start out by going to harries.com slash dumbzone, get the offer, and tell them that you heard about it on the Dan Bongino show.

Here's Jane with the Dumb Zone News. Is he back doing radio? Yeah. Really? Yeah, I read an interview the other day that was like, what Dan Bongino learned in the Secret Service that he can take back to the airwaves? What was his title? He was the head of the Secret Service. So he would have been in the mix this weekend

For sure We had that story last week Just a quick follow-up Of the like the warehouse Sex Party Yeah The bust were broad daylight We saw a bunch of people sitting down outside

Dan was mad he wasn't invited Right He's going to be even more mad Because now we've gotten some Information Regarding the promotion of this And it was a described by organizers as a scorching hot play party.

Awesome. Yeah. Like a play date. Like a play date. Yeah. The party was branded as a communion event. And it was middle of the day, too, right? Yeah.

Communion. I'm going to spell communion for you as it is spelled here. It is a communion event. C-U-M-U-N-I-O-N. Part of a series of sexually oriented parties across the country. Again, how, like, I get so many spam texts from things that don't. Like, I thought my phone knew me. Mm-hmm.

You know, wouldn't this be a spam text for me? Yeah, you'd think. 35 bucks got you in the door. But they did not get their sexually oriented business license. 35. How do you come up with that, too? That is odd. Let's see here.

Where do I want to go? Oh, man, this is a wild one from right in my home. This is always, it's fun. The bus driver, a bus driver in GCISD. You got arrested last week? Kitty porn. No. He shot his neighbor.

Like right by the school, too. I feel like if you're a bus driver, It was a neighbor dispute, but we got the email saying like we're shut down the district, this guy's getting fired. There's like a 60-something-year-old guy gets in a dispute with his neighbor and shoots him. And here's what I'm telling you,

is that if this guy's a good bus driver, this shouldn't be disqualifying. I think that just kind of comes with the dinner of being a bus driver. You're going to get people who might, if you're like, I told you that tree, cut it down. Cut it down.

Told him stop going that fast in the neighborhood. That's the type of guy I want driving my bus. Well, yeah, and you want to judge him by his bus driving ability. Yeah. Not his off the field, you know, transgressions. I know we've discussed it. You know, they give Kobe a break. If you can still score 30 a game, we're going to keep you doing what you're doing.

I know we've discussed it, but I was never a bus kid, and I feel like I missed out on that. Never lived full-time in a dorm either. Well, how did that occur? It occurred because... Don't they make freshmen live in a dorm? Because my first two years of college, I was at UTA. And it's a commuter school, you know? Oh.

So I was like... I lived in a house with buddies. Okay, you didn't get the full, full college experience. I spent like two weeks there in the summer, but that's it. You think about deaths and, you know, people losing their homes and whatnot during storms, but this is one that I had not really thought about. Because, you know, if your roof gets all jammed up, you're calling Kualis. Do we have a Kuala spot today?

Every day we can have a Kuala spot, but yeah. I got on my roof yesterday to, I don't belong up there. QualisGC.com does, and they got drones, they'll put up there for you. Which, again, is probably like, why do you need that? You're the guys who belong up there. I got up there yesterday and was like, I could really use a drone. Yeah. Although I don't know that that would happen.

What were you doing? Kind of gutter cleaning, but from the top, like, there's just a bunch of that nasty stuff the sticky stuff that gets on the house. You got to blow it and brush it off the house. Dude, you are going to have another plate in another limb. My neighbor came over and he was like, I thought you were hurt. I was like, I played a flag game today, bro.

You got to slow down, man. We just don't want to lose you. That's the thing. You're kind of like Brandon. You know, I don't need you playing these games. Like, we need Jake on the wall, Especially now I'm going on that two-week trip. By the way, as I'm on the two-week trip, I will be broadcasting from the car the whole time.

Yeah, we didn't let people know that earlier. I saw a sample of his car broadcasting this weekend. It's great. The video looks good? It looks good. Sounds great. Dan gets pulled over. We'll carry it live.

Yeah. I'll try to get pulled up. Whatever we're doing. You've got to do a honk for every 18-wheeler. No, but hail obviously a problem. We got pounded last night. but WFA has a story on something you don't think about. There's, for example, an aviation museum over in Fort Worth,

and it got its roof destroyed. Who goes that? You know, probably the same. Look, kids. There's our technical directors raising his hands, season pass. But if you have a place like that and the roof gets jacked up, you can replace the roof, but all the stuff inside getting pelted by hail, you're screwed. It's like, you know, old artifacts.

What do you mean? It went through the roof? Yeah, like some of the roof came off, and a lot of their stuff just got destroyed. A Blue Angels F-18 Hornet that had just arrived with a fresh coat of paint. All hailed up? Yeah. Well, Kualis wouldn't let that happen. They can still use it for the next nurse flyover.

It's true for the next pandemic. I kind of think, you know, if you are into items that people think cost a lot of money, then whatever happens to them kind of happens. Like if you've decided that you want to be around this aviation artifact, you've decided you're going to be pissed if it gets hit with a rock from the sky, right? It's not like your car or your head or your, you know, you've put, put the value on this thing. So I have to feel bad.

I don't know. Like if your art gets torn up by some lady you had in your house. Well, I don't know that the news is making you have to feel bad about it. Tony Buzzbee reference. Yeah. But, I mean, it comes up. I think that's Dan's standard. Like, you kind of get what you deserve.

If you buy million dollar art. Right. If you're, yeah. If you have that much money that that's what you're putting your money towards. There's a funny story out of Austin. You guys are, of course, familiar with the copper trade from the documentary The Wire. Hey, Kappa. See?

Copper Thieves is more what we're talking about here. Oh, yeah. You're collected in a grocery cart. Yeah. Austin police put out a warning or a notice saying that they're having a major problem with people digging up and trying to strip fiber cables, thinking that there's copper on them. There's not, and then it screws up everyone's internet and phone lines all over the city. Austin has a bit of a homeless problem, you might have heard. Or a feature, if you're just into homeless people, I don't have to call it a problem.

But, yeah, they're just kind of telling the homeless, you're stealing the wrong stuff. Like, you're getting nothing, you can't sell this fiber optic cable. There's nothing to strip. And now I can't download Napster. Well, that's good. That's a good warning. Right? Yeah.

You want to steal the right stuff. A video went viral this weekend of a runaway kangaroo on the freeway out in Abilene. Really? Yeah. Is this part of the Texas doesn't have laws about animals? Yeah. We just have anything? Yeah.

It is legal to own kangaroos in Texas. Abilene? Would that be a beating? Dude, I think you... I think it would be a beating, but it would be so bad. cool. Do we have a similar climate as Australia? It's got to be harder there. Yeah, out there there's

parts that are very arid and then the trees are about the same. Like west Texas, you're saying? Yeah, when you get up towards the cap rock it's very flat low vegetation. Didn't you always hear that they would like

F you up? I'm afraid of them. Yeah, there's that viral video of the one trying to attack the dog and the guy just throws a right jack right at it. I don't believe any of those. I grew up seeing cartoons with kangaroos

with boxing gloves on there. Is that a true thing? Yeah, they'll box or whatever. If they kick you, they will kill you. Pff, okay. No, they... Bring it. They have little talons on the end of their feet,

and they'll rip your shit up. We don't know a lot about the kangaroo. I feel like I know. I know. I feel like I hear two guys projecting based on fear. They had that big, chest, that's why they can kick each other in the chest.

They have all that fur and protection. But they have little talons on their feet that will rip your skin. I'm not making this up. Be afraid of kangaroos. Your knowledge on kangaroos has me worried. Saw video in science class. Science class. That's what we do at private school.

We learn about kangaroos. What they were doing at public school down in San Marcos was Senior Skip Day, and it turned into a 2,000-person gathering. at a park down there in San Marcos. Awesome. Tons of arrests. Tons of fights. Was the Sun God out there with him?

Who was that guy? This is going to drive me crazy. Dawn. No, Dawn was the fish camp. Frisbee Dan. Frisbee Dan and the Sun God were the two guys who would go to Sewell every day. And, man, I wish, if I could ever introduce Real Dan to Frisbee Dan. He was a guy who played Frisbee there for like 30 straight years.

He was a real leathery. Never really seemed to age. In any case, senior skip day, glad to see we're still doing this. Yeah. I saw a flyer for one in Dallas, and it looked like a flyer for Coachella. Yeah. Do you do flyers, though? Don't you want to keep it on the...

You don't want a paper trail for your senior skip day. You got to promote, though. I know, but promote by word of mouth and then deny when you're confronted with it. Cop said we could see folks very flagrantly. walking around with vapes or marijuana or alcohol. Not vapes. Yeah. Speaking of, this is quite the headline.

A man in College Station accused of groping and chasing a vape shop employee. Chasing. That sounds funny. It does. When you picture a chase. She's coughing. So, yeah, he went into the store. And, you know, some of those places, it is kind of weird.

I'll do the vampire mode I'm up at all hours of the night Sometimes you might need a vape at 2 a.m. And the gas station is not open But the vape shop is And it's just like a lady in there Oh yeah, it's 24 hours, dude

Why? I don't know And you walk in there and there's like Trippy-ass Psychedelic music playing It's loud And you're like man, that's tough But she's in there by herself

You know Middle of the night And so... This guy goes into the store when she's alone, reaches over the counter, grabbed her private area. The P or the T? Is the T a private area?

Or is it... Fair game. I don't think it's fair game. Because if I'm learning now that it's not. I don't think that's... I mean, like if somebody gave your son a titty twister. Like I'd rather grab the T. You would?

You think most people would rather grab the P? No, I just want to make sure you would. You would rather grab the tea yourself. It depends on the... I'm a guy who likes to satisfy a woman. So, I kind of ask, and then I speak to it. Well, if you're famous, they let you do it. Read poems to it.

We need that R.L. Reese drop. We need that, and we need more Jim Nance. How about that? All right. What else do we want to do here? Any conspiracy theories we want to get into about how this Twitter account from 2020. 23. I don't think I want to touch it, bro.

All right. What are you saying? It's weird, man. It almost, like, makes me want to fall back into conspiracy brain. Oh, is this something about the Trump thing? Yeah. Isn't that funny, too? That Trump thing happened Saturday night, and by Sunday, nobody's like,

yeah. It's moved on. Another bit. I just don't know how to process it. Maybe it's real. I don't know. Is that what you're talking about? Is there a tweet about, like, predicting it or something?

And then I don't think I buy the, you didn't want to get into it. Well, it's not. Let's go. Tell me. The profile picture of a random art painting, if you do the exposure, whatever, it's like the Trump assassination photo. I think that's a bit of a stretch. But the Twitter account tweeting one tweet of the guy's name four, three years ago,

that's crazy. It looks like possibly there was some level of manipulation like within Twitter. Okay. to where this image, like an image that very much looks like the Butler assassination attempt image, was posted before that happened. I don't know, man. I mean, I don't want to get into it. I just don't.

Because I don't know what to say. It's insane that we're sitting here and we're like, somebody tried to kill the president on Saturday. And I'm like, do we have any news stories? It's like not even a news story. Well, yeah, and Everybody gets pissed And I don't want to say I don't believe it

Because certainly a lot of people don't like the guy It's believable someone would try to kill him So, but he also think he's the type of guy Who would fake his own shooting? Sorry, I just do, so. Well, and then did you see that? There was like a Fox News somebody. Did you see that bit?

I was watching it. When the phone cut off? I was. I went right to Fox News. Why do you do that? It's just the both. Like, why do you pick that news? If there's something like that going on, that's where I want to go for the fund.

Well, here I marked it. Want to hear it? Let's see, the Fox News. Here was. Oh, wait. Sorry. Bit, bit. All right.

I was quickly tell you, I was sitting next to Caroline Levitt, the press secretary's husband. He was one of our guests. He was seated right next to me. And, you know, right as the dinner was starting, You know, the National Anthem happened, and then he kind of leaned over and said, you know, I watched you on TV. You're a great job. You need to be very safe. And he was very serious when he said that to me. And he kind of looked around the room and he said, you know, there are some. Sounds like we lost Aisha's phone there. And this happens, by the way, especially when you have so many people attempting to utilize the same cell service at the same time. Yeah, you could hear how she was breaking up. National Anthem before the dinner?

Oh, yeah, dude. That's a strong view. I think the best thing to come out of that was there's just some random camera in the ballroom and everyone's scrambling around, right? And there's this one guy just sitting at the table just eating a salad like nothing's going on. Again, a very McDowell move. Oh, yeah. He's just like, it's the first person I thought of.

No, somebody sent it to me. It's like, Dan's here. It's just a guy eating a salad. No reaction. That's great. obviously putting the curb thing to RFK bolting and leaving Cheryl Hines behind him. Oh, I didn't see that.

That's good. Eight to ten feet. For real? Oh, yeah. Okay. The fact that... And why do you bolt out? I would say that's the most secure place to be is right in there.

Don't know. Especially if it was way out at the perimeter or something, right? Some guy... Yeah. Like, tried to rush through and they got him right away. And then... But, yes, I wouldn't run out. I would sit and eat a salad.

get into the table, if anything. The fact that O's the Mentalist was doing a trick while it happened. Like, I can't handle all this. Yeah, it was. I can't handle the Madlib. Well, plus it was at the White House Correspondence Dinner, which Trump has never done before. Oh, but we're back now, though. We flip the script.

The media sucks him off now. That's the, I mean. Yeah, well, yeah, they let in certain. We flip. It's over. But then there's like a war. but then the Secretary of Defense is there too. Yeah.

Like it just felt like... All the folks were there. It's just none of... It's all crazy. Damn, that felt good. Fucking Alki. There's your news. Why don't you have another drink?

Ruin your life, dumbass. The dumbs don't... Oh, you can't stop? I can tell. Like and subscribe. That was a good news. Oh, viewer mail birthday is brought to a spy. There's Ticero.

on high today. Cicerole, Cessorone, cessorone, whatever the f***erone. I left that out of my weekend check. I went out there and bawled out. No subs yesterday, boys. No subs.

Can't be stopped. Because of Game Day men's health. Because of peptides. I was out there with a bunch of younger dudes, and I'm like, oh, it sucks for you guys. You're not old enough yet to tap into the fountain of youth that I have. TRT and some peptides from Game Day men's health. And it's really not just for men.

Like women can get involved with peptides. They got stuff for your hair, for your skin, for weight loss, for focus, for sleep, for stress. Anything that you would like to, you know, improve your body being able to do, these peptides can do it. So what are peptides? Proteins. Proteins change that improve the internal communications by providing clear instructions for saying things like injury recovery, sleep, leaner body mass, and signaling you are full so stop eating

damn it that's what the first copy point says right there I'm not sitting I'm not kidding so yeah peptides and I'd like to compliment our dumb zone location

of the day it's a tie the North Dallas Preston Hollow location on the southwest corner of Preston and Forest Lane above first watch restaurant and then we also have the Lakewood location.

Remember Sam Bates? Oh, yeah. That's by Gaston and La Vista near Abrams in the Lakewood Tower, the Wells Fargo building. The Mike Marshall Game Day. Yeah, so. If you see him with a boner. Gameday.dumzone.com brings us...

Happy birthday. Thank you. Some viewer mail birthdays. So regular showtime tomorrow? Yeah. Yeah, now we're kind of doing a thing like, hey, I had a better question. Although we've been actually telling people our question for a week. And now we have to change it, right?

Sorry, guys. Blake wants to do the show here. So I said, okay. I do whatever Blake wants to do. Come on back, Alex. Not everything. Oh. Let's see.

What day is it is the 27th? please give D.F. Sammy. I'll say his name right this year. Waits. Isn't that his name? Says Weiss. Probably about to tell you. But then he writes a shot out for his 31st birthday, which was April 25th.

His leader is Dan's white lawn guy, and he wanted to get an update on whether Jake was still trying to get into the Grateful Dead. Oh, yeah. Or did he get him? give up on that venture like he quit pitching and drinking. I don't know what else I have to do on the pitching front. Yes, I am too weak to beat alcohol by drinking it. And then what was the other one?

The Dead, Grateful Dead. Yeah, I have like a list of maybe 15 to 20 songs. And that's about what I'm capable of. I'm not going to watch a three-hour set. But there's more there's more there than I thought for sure. Okay. You have a list, you've actually listened to this list, or you just started with the list? No, like I have the, I don't know if somebody gave it to me or not, but it's just a grateful, it's probably grateful debt essentials.

Live. It's live. All of it's live. I've been to one dead show. That means every song is seven minutes long. They are, that is prohibitive, but not every song is. It's like the NFL draft. I don't mind it.

I'm surprised you had enough special needs people playing baseball. I thought they were all at the draft this weekend. It did seem like they had shined a beam above Pittsburgh. Every other pick. Here's this kid. Make a wish. Wants to announce this pick.

You're learning about diseases you didn't even know existed. You know? It was a lot. The draft could be consolidated to one day if we just let Gadell do all the picks. That's from Michael and Charlie White's or weights. And I thought the sticks thing would just

a first round bit? No, they played that song every round. They did. Because it rules. That was my favorite part of our cover. Apparently. Dear Routin Tudor of the Flatulent Cooter, I wish a happy Jerome Bettis plus Mavs Max Christie birthday to two bromo's and fellow Permanter Middle School alumni, PMS alumni, twins, Jason and Kyle, identical twins. That's real twins, right?

I think in this day and age, a lot of people have to be upset with the proliferation of... You don't hear a lot of identicals where the parents don't go alliterative. I mean, I think we had three couples throughout my educational career, and they were all three doubled up. J&J, D, and D, or M and M. I had a guy and girl twins growing up in my class, Trevor and Tara. Were they using fertility drugs Or can the guy, girl thing kind of just happen? It can definitely just happen.

Yeah, it's a genetic thing. Yeah. I knew some of those, too. Twins runs in my family, so I have uncles that are twins and then cousins that are twins. Twins can run in a family. If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that. Runs in my family or twins run in my family.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But there's something to do it. I think twins is awesome. I don't know I don't know I've always thought it'd be cool to have twins

you know what I mean you would you think it'd be cool to have them or be one I think it would have been cool to have them and I don't think it would be cool to be one so that means it kind of feels selfish as a parent I wonder I don't I mean

I don't think I'd want to live with me see in the case of like I guess it's good because you're never going to be too far apart like in things that could make you jealous right Like the two girls in my school, they were both hot. Now, you could take your pick. People had preferences, but it wasn't like one of you's going to be super attractive

and the other one is disgusting. Unless the other one is attached to you and you're Abby and she's Brittany, in which case. Yeah. But you see what I'm saying? Like you're not going to be like, oh, God, my sister's so much hotter than me. My brother's so much more athletic than me. You're twins. Yeah, but you're going to notice the real, like, oh, gosh, her nose, or my nose is bad.

Probably every little thing. Yeah. How come my eye is bent like this, and hers are perfect? Anyway, where are we? Oh, also the older brother Eric, who was born on the same day four years earlier. So three kids with the same birthday. Wow. That's right.

Their leaders are John Daniels, every reason why Hillary lost. Joey McGuire High School Prep Rally's And Life's Forever Carpenter in the Sky Hey Zeus Three anchor words for you Potemkin Don't know it No, that's a... You hear that in politics

sometimes. What is that, Clayton? Tome? No, what's the word? Caboodle. Kit, that's on there. Vim. Vigure. Watch John Wick for recently. It has to be in the goat conversation of this unrealistic movie trope.

Flagrant amounts of collateral damage that would be accidental deaths caused by the protagonist that no one seems to care about. Definitely. So you've got to have that in every movie. Never run on second and short. Never P standing up. Longtime Freeloader and Christmas Sub-Athon subscriber. From JD. Does he give a thing for Potent?

A Potemkin? No. The only thing I'm seeing is something from a Russian Potemkin village. Yeah, it's a Russian... We're getting niche. We are, man. People are too much smart for us. I have one.

People are too much smart for us. I heard it this morning about the correspondence dinner. It's a book of the Bible, but Exodus, there's no minor. Only mass. Only a mass. So many. people. Trickling of an exodus.

a Royals rookie on a chilly 50-degree day in Detroit through the Kansas City Royal's first no-hitter ever. Steve Busby. Wow. Incredible. Isn't it amazing?

Yes. You look at some people like they've never been able to do anything. Ryan Ruah. Not only was he able to do, like he threw a no-hitter. He threw two no-hitters in the big leagues, Steve Busby.

And thanks to Game Day Men's Health, you can crush him right now. I wonder what Buzz is doing. Why they run by? It was just a changing of the updating things, you know. On this day in 1983, 83 is the day that Nolan Ryan became the all-time strikeout king. 3,509, he would go on to strike out 2,200 more in 10 more years. So it's kind of like, I was looking at his stats today,

thinking of the Tom Brady bit. The two Hall of Fame. Yeah, Tom Brady had his career ended 10 years prior, would have been in the Hall of Fame. And then that whole 10 years, that's a Hall of Fame resume, too. Or LeBron kept playing for 10 years after that. What was the tweet from? Was it Bill Simmons?

No. Somebody is like, God, at least the rain of tears over. Yeah, this fuckery is going to be over, and he's played for a decade longer than that. I think the other one is... Well, go ahead. The other one's better. No, go ahead.

I was just trying to participate. You're fine. On this day in 2015, Josh Hamilton traded to the Texas Rangers. Back to the Rangers. From the Angels. Bull kids? No, this is from the Angels.

Back here. We brought home our Josh. I forgot about that era. We brought home Witten. And he hit a wall. walk off and everyone was like they poured soda on credits roll and then the Ben Affleck movie came out

yes remember that I think it was actually Casey Affleck what was that movie about it didn't get made but when it was all going on we heard like this is going to be a we're going to do a Josh Hamilton movie like a giant movie and Jake on this day

in 2017 today is the day we had a settlement for an undisclosed sum. The April 9th was the incident date, so I might have to need to update my today in history. The incident date was a confrontation aboard a jetliner at Chicago's O'Hare Airport. Oh, my goodness. A man who once lost his medical license and went and got a bracelet on the World Series of Poker Tour

for a couple years. He lost his license for writing pill-mill scripts, the great David Dow. He was violently dragged off the flight after reviews refusing to give up his seat. Blood. They kill me. Corner of his mouth. They kill me.

Glasses. God, that was an awesome, awesome hot button topic for a while. I remember to reference to the junior, was so pissed. So pissed. And we were like, this guy. the fucking man. He's just sticking up with a little guy. He's going limp like an infant, like a toddler does or whatever.

It's so good. The best thing, yeah, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. And he's like, all right. Yep. You gave me two choices. Now quit telling me, quit reiterating that. I've clearly chosen one way. The hard way for who?

Not really a hard way for me. Afterward. I'm just laying here. It's a great modern story. So April 27th, Thumb Zone history. We played the audio on Friday about how in 2020, ESPN's coverage of the NFL draft just centered around the bad situation some players had come from. T. Higgins' mom was a drug dealer, had drug addiction.

Ye tur, gross, metosis, brother died, struck by lightning. In 2023, the NFL said they're going to back away from the trauma porn coverage in the draft. They actually had to sit down and say, we have to stop. stop doing that. Yeah, I remember that, like it being a conscious decision. Maybe we need to fall up on this a little bit tomorrow, but I have a couple of marks of when, like, the Rossini thing came up on ESPN. Oh, yeah, this weekend?

Well, because, yeah, because, like, you know, they'd get to the Patriots and it's like, well, Brable's not here. Why? That was funny, too. I saw somebody reported, you know, Mike Brable's at therapy today with his family, but the Patriots are able to be in constant contact with. I'm like, good. He's probably really growing and getting to the bottom of things.

That's a performative. And then in 2020, it was the CD draft night, the two phones. Then they take Trayvon, Neville Gallimore, Tyler Biotish, Ben Danucci. So that was a fun. And then we had Lincoln Riley on. I forgot we had Lincoln Riley on. We drafted a CD and Neville Gallimore. That was wild.

That was before he became the T-B-O-W. That bitch out west, Dan. The newch was an actual draft pick, huh? Because, yeah. He was in an elevator with McCarthy and Frisco a couple weeks ago. There's no way he would have been picked by another team, right? Seems doubtful. Pittsburgh guy.

All right, other birthdays, we have Corey Seeger 32. All right, we're coming around a little bit. Okay. Coming around a little bit. Frank Catalanato is 52. Keenan Allen is 34 Where is he now? Chargers last year

We got to find someone who like Air Jordan I'm Air Jordan I'm like someone who's called No no Caleb Williams like Look every time I come out of the tunnel I'm going to yell, let's get ready. Dan Mullen is 54. We can't even do that on the stream joke around about that.

Nope. Tell us about Dan Mullen's wife, though. Dan Mullen's wife, definitely at Florida, I think probably Mississippi State, too, but she would greet all the players when they arrived at home games. They'd get off the bus, and they'd walk by and kiss her on the lips. Just a 50-something-year-old white lady and a bunch of college-age dudes. Gross. It was so weird.

So weird. It feels so southerny and creepy. Come smooch me, honey. Herm Edwards is 72. You play to win the game. He did not know Arizona State were called the Sun Devils when he was hired. Yeah. A little suspect of that name.

Clayton, Jason Whitlock is 59. That big rack of hers. That big rat. I know what I'm capable. In those cans, the big wreck. Ace Fraley is 75. Kiss. Kiss.

Name a kiss song. Me? Anyone. Detroit Rock City? Is that a song? Love Gun. Sheena Easton is 67. Lizzo is 38.

Also a fraud. No, he's not. Only Willie is the fraud. Duck Dynasty. Willie and Jace are the fraud. Cui is not. Corey Harrison is 42. He's from pawn stars.

One thing about Duck Dynasty around. I know. These guys are going to fight you. I told you the first time I gave my dad an edible, we watched Duck Dynasty. That's awesome. What a show to watch. It's so much fun. What a sentence there, right?

The first time I gave my dad an edible. We were on a golf trip. He had never done it. I was like, here, we're in Arizona. We'd just come back from the shop. We both had an edible, and Duck Dynasty was on. Is he edible guy now? Or is he, like, now doing heroin? Like, is it, was that a...

Yeah, I... Yeah, it's kind of a way. I just want to say... Pimping out your mom. Everyone in my generation has decided to be real cool about this, that everybody's coming around. Feels like there's a different world where those of us who are in our 30s and 40s now who had to hide weed our entire lives.

Should be, like, I told you so. The fact that I'm now having to go get gummies for these people is like... I don't know. We could have saved ourselves a lot of trouble. You're their dealer now? Yeah, but had it look like a sour patch kid, maybe they would have been on board. We're picking it up from a doctor's office and everybody's okay. My mom had stopped laughing the whole time I'm talking to. I'm like, okay.

Fibrely, vibe shift. Ace Frey died in October. Ooh. Boom, bum, bum, bu, blah, blah, blah. You must be monitoring the chat. Ty Walker reports in. Okay. If we're doing that, by the way, too,

Saad says not to bust our bubble, but it was, we just want to, with Shottie, we're going to keep a fair count, okay, because there's enough lame to go around. The knot was Will McLeigh. Yeah. Okay. I thought it was Shottie. I thought it was Shottie.

Shottie seems like the type of guy who would 100% be saying, Matt. Yeah, that was McLeigh. Damn, Sad. That ruins everything. I know. I swear to God, I searched this guy this morning.

But there's enough. There's enough lame Shottie to go around. We're going to call his game fairly. I want to talk about Chrissy Freud tomorrow. You know who that is? No. She got fired for her Diana Rusini stance. Oh, God.

The USA Today lady? Yeah. She didn't get fired. She didn't even have a job. Well, I want to talk about that whole thing. Good. Tomorrow. Yeah.

Put that at the top place. Speaking of Sad. The media boys were not pleased with. Apparently she's known. I want to talk about it. Tomorrow. Do we get a D-2-10 lady in the... Oh, she's the one who asked, do your kids ask you about the draft?

D-2-10 is a very big part of tomorrow's show. Okay. First of all, what is D-2-10 sports? We talked about it last week. What is it? Did you figure it out since then? It's a bunch... There's a handful of hot women who apparently get to go to press conferences,

and that's the extent of it as far as I can tell. What the ice girls graduate, too? Some of them look like ice girls. They have a kick-ass website. website. It's great. Yeah, they ask about kids and what you're dreaming of. And like, it's all, I have a whole thing of just D210 sports questions from the weekends.

I mean, between that and disability channel. They put them at the end, too. Like, they all, I don't know if they just know or Tad's like, all, I'll let you ask your question now at the very end. Think about it. It was because of her that I started. I think about it? I've been thinking of nothing but the detuit it. It was because of her that I started asking Brandon the questions he heard in postgame

because she asked him after he hit 69 or whatever, is there a dream yardage you want to hit from one game? I thought, why not 100? I'd love to kick 100 dirt field goal. Moon. If I can line up from 175, I'd love to do it. He kicks the ball in the air and it's a song starting. It's playing like a Disney movie.

The cartoon sky. He's floating with the ball. What's the circumference of the earth? Could it go all the way around, back over my head? No, he kicks it. And then, like, they flashed to a scene. It's a guy in a rice hat and the ball's flying over his head. No, no.

He's like, uh, no, 68's as long as I'd kick it. Really? Still going. There's a whale jumps out of the water. Still going. That's stupid. Actually, because of the rotation, you'd have to kick it like off to an angle or something.

Yep. I'm going to take a fade on this one as I head longitudinally over. Frank Abagnale is 78. Base? No, he's Catch me if you can, right? Great movie. Great story. So good.

The whole thing about the guy. Like, he would go on Carson and stuff. Like, he became famous. Do you know about this guy? I saw the movie. All right. Of course, it has Tom Hanks in it. What do you mean?

Like every movie has Tom Hanks in it? No, I've probably seen a lot of movies that has Tom Hanks in it. Interesting. Force Gump. Yeah. Your parents just kind of gave an auto wave probably okay to anything Tom Hanks was in. Yeah, and if it was on TNT, I've probably seen it. Big?

Yep. The one with the island? The Castaway. The Casteo. Probably, yeah, once, just a long time ago. A League of Their Own. I enjoyed that movie. That's one of my wife's favorite movies.

You've got mail? I'm big castaway guy. Is it because I want to be alone? 100%. I remember when you first told me that and being like, yep. Okay. Good movie, though. Great movie.

And Dumbzone birthday of day is Emily Rios. She's 37. She's Andrea on Breaking Bad. Born on This Day Now Dead, Ulysses S. Grant, Earl Anthony, a bowling great. I don't know how this came across my feed, but I found a fake documentary. It's like 20 minutes long. It's with Tim Robinson

and the guy who plays Dexter. Michael Seahole. And they're in like a, like they're bowling grates. Like in the 80s or 90s and then they fall off, but then it's a comeback. And there's a comeback bowling tour or something.

It's like, How are they produced? What is this for? Who? Why? It just seems that a 20-minute bit with real famous people that we know, and it's pretty funny. Oh, one of the guys from SNL is in there, too. It's part of that documentary now thing.

I don't know what that is. Documentary now was a, it's like a, it's a format that produced these sorts of things. Kind of Portlandia-ish. Yeah, I think Fred Armisen was really into. behind it. A bunch of these sort of fake documentaries. Tell you what. I ignored.

I didn't even know the existence of Portlandia barely. And I plowed through that this past year. Awesome. I haven't watched enough of it. But it was very good when I have seen it. But also, like, it was on when I was, like, living a low-key Portland. Like, we were going out in Fort Worth in that part of Fort Worth every weekend.

And it was not far off from... So you don't want to watch yourself be made fun of? Yeah, a little bit. Samuel Morse, born on the Stay Now Dead, the Telegraph inventor. Ask him if he thinks listening to a book is reading. Wallace Carruthers. He is the inventor of nylon. And Casey Kasim, the inventor of America's Top 40.

Oh, one more. Leroy Jordan. One more story. Born in the Stay Now Dead. a white Leroy. Pretty incredible. So finally, black people have stolen something from our culture, right? See, when you come out of those up-tempo damn numbers, man, it's impossible to make those

transitions, and then you've got to go into somebody dying. You know, they do this to me all the time. I don't know what the hell they do it for, but damn it, if we can't come out of a slow record, I don't understand it. Is Don on the phone? Okay, I want a damn concerted effort to come out of a record that isn't a fucking up-tempo. record every time I do a damn death dedication.

Now make it and I also want to know what happened to the pictures I was supposed to see this week. It's a last damn time I want somebody use his fucking brain to not come out of a goddamn record that is uptempo and I got to talk about a fucking dog dying.

Dude, that's just the pros pro right there though. He's like, do any of you idiots not understand what we're doing here? I feel like he's holding on to that picture thing though. That was That was weird. These pictures. That might have been the root of this thing, really.

You're probably right. But he had that to play real quick. But it is funny when you work in media. Did your wife ever done that to you? Oh, yeah. She's mad at this, but then all of a sudden cites the... Well, I was able to defend that other one. Dead on the Stay Still Dead.

Ferdinand Magellan. In a year, he lived? 1450? Yeah, you're probably right. He died in 1521. Sweet. Gordon Armstrong, he invented the baby incubator. Like, what would they do before? Like, what is the baby incubator, by the way?

Is it just keep the baby from being exposed to the outside germs? Yeah, I mean, obviously I saw it like in the NICU, but I don't think everybody uses one, right? Like, you might not have to get to that point. But, yeah, I think... Back in 1959. Yeah. Phil King died on this day. He was in Blue Oyster Cult.

Man. He died at the age of 24, shot in the head while gambling. That's pretty metal. I guess he was up. Ruth Handler died in this day. She invented the Barbie doll. And Jake died in this day in 2023.

Jerry Springer. Never got to go, did you? mayor. And that's what happened on this day in history. He contributed. We now do some closing remarks. This segment of the dumb zone brought to you by Frankl and Frankl. Even if you die in a car accident, we could help your living family get the bag. Frankl and Frankl. 214 or 817, then you dial all threes. You will speak to a partner. when you call the Frankles. They are Dallas-based.

It's really confusing. I didn't have a ton of time to explain it. I went to, like, his YouTube channel. I don't know what's going on, but there is something to investigate there. Okay, so of all the things we've talked about today, I was two and a half hours ago. This guy had thought about anything else. No, but I was thinking we have to get the D-2-10 reporter.

Oh, well, I mean, that goes without saying. All right, yeah. We need a collab. Yeah. Second thing, I think all three of you guys at one point or another have made a comment on, oh, man, we don't have any cowboy stuff. How are we going to do the show? You know, something to that effect.
