And in and out of the house, and it kind of reminded you, man, we got to get those floors done.

Flooring direct dfW.com slash dZ is here for you. Just pull the trigger. It's the spring. So you're like, I got to clean this place up. We got to fix it up. FlooringDirectDefW.com. Great deal right now. Jake, tell them all about it.

That's right. you can get your new flooring project entirely done for under $200 a month with their 36 months of zero interest financing. As Dan said, why clean your floors when you can simply replace them this spring? There you go. If you see a little stain. Do it every week. Call Rick Renner and Dan the man out at flooring direct, eFW.com slash DZ. They bring the store to you.

They bring the floors out. They bring the little tiny baby little bitty floors. And then you can take a look at those for, in that free estimate. and then go forth with that financing at Flooring Direct. Okay, so hold on now. Yep. So they bring the little floor, the little tiny things. Right.

I would suggest, frankly, I would suggest getting little Lego men or, you know, create a scene. See, that's what I was going with. Do they, when you look at it, do you envision that floor being bigger or do you envision a tiny you standing on that little floor? I see, I think it's more fun that way. I would like to put a little figure. A tiny little you. Yeah. All right.

Did you ever give the web, The financing is... All right. You're not going to believe it. They got a cool song. You have a tiny little bank. A waste of money. That?

It's ridiculous. Did you ever get like a tiny little disco ball? You picture yourself dancing on that tiny little floor? We can make this better. I can't say that I have. Anyway, hello friends, happy Monday, happy floor day. This is the Dumb Zone. We are broadcasting live to tape from the Game Day Men's Health Studio in downtown Douse from the Fox 4 building and the Channel 27 building.

GameDay.day.dumzone.com is the website to acquire muscles and wealth. The key to muscles and wealth, Game Day Men's Health. I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jake Kim. I'm Blake Jones. Foodie CK is also in the building, which is not the greatest nickname ever given somebody. But I was just talking yesterday about the greatest nickname ever given somebody. That's a tease.

Nancy Reagan? Yeah, that's pretty good. What was Nancy Reagan's nickname? First Lady. Oh. Whatever. Throat goat. Throat goat, okay.

Not Zilla. That's already been taken. Correct. So here we are. Shout out Throat Zilla. On a Monday. Is it Masters Week? It is.

It's Masters Week. Golf guys are saying it is. Okay. It's very exciting. Patrick Gore's a Master's hat. Boy, if you're a master's guy, you're wearing your gear this week. I should have got a golf hat. Don't even play.

Has a little golf guy on it. That's like going hard on St. Patrick's Day. Don't be a cash. What does that mean? It has a golf guy on it. You'll see when I put a little picture of a golf guy. Like guy playing golf, a golfer. But you know what?

I didn't realize about Masters week. It's like a stick figure golf guy. Is what a big deal Monday through Wednesday is for the common rich person. And I guess that's not really a thing. But I didn't really, you know, in my head it's like I'm going to go to the Masters. That means you're going Thursday, Friday, probably Saturday or Sunday. But it's so exclusive and impossible to go to that you're rich business owner, like my father-in-law or something. He's going on Monday for the practice rounds and for whatever,

because that you can get your way into. I think my dad's been once on Tuesday maybe for his 60th birthday with my stepmom. So I actually talked to somebody the other day. It was like, oh, no, I can't do it. I'm headed to the Masters on Monday. Is Ted going? I would assume.

That's a good question. How have you not talked to Ted lately? I talk to Ted a lot. He's busy with the terms. tournament. What does that mean? I guess college basketball still playing. And what does that mean? Is he broadcasting games? Yeah. I heard him do the McDonald's game the other night. I've heard him do that many times. I just feel like Blake was trying to make up stuff. God, I felt so handoff during the McDonald's game, bro. There was a kid, the number one player. The rocks he had in his ear looked

like AirPods. I literally thought he was playing with AirPods in. And he's like in the paint, not in warm-ups. I was like, bro, I hope your ear gets ripped out. No, I've talked to Ted. I just haven't talked to him about that. He informed me that of a new kid name I hadn't heard the other day, Lincoln, spelled like LinkedIn is. What do you mean?

So it's like L-I-N-K-E-N. Okay. Not quite. Lincoln Park almost? There's no little apostrophe. No. Lincoln. Patrick and Chris are our sit-ins today.

We invited them because we have a brand-new sponsor. Now, we'll get really in-depth on the abilities and what puddle pools can do for you. Yeah, they got real in-depth on my pool. It's the cleanest my pool's ever been, is what my wife said. Eight feet? Yeah, not ten. How deep is your pool? You got eight-footer?

I think so. Okay. I can't stand. I can't stand on the... My pool's very 70s, though. There's a embedded... I don't know. I guess a painting porcelain of a heavy bosom dolphin.

Yeah, at the bottom. At the bottom of the pool. Have you seen that in his house? Is he joking? No, I'm not joking at all. Somebody was very... Is that new? No, no.

It just feels very 70s to me. Yeah, it's a hot mermaid. Blonde mermaid with T's out. Yeah, anyway, um, Patrick and Chris from puddle pools. What's the website we're directing people to? Dumbzone.com slash puddle pools. Okay.

Dumbzone.com slash puddle pools. Yeah, we just got our first month of service with puddle pools. And it was actually so great. I'm not being. I was really into it. I told Craig, I told you when you're there. I'm like, hey, you want to come in, talk Monday a little bit quickly about this? Yeah, so we're all about it.

Yeah. No, it seems like you guys are just doing a ton more than our old pool company would do the chemicals, but they kind of sucked. And chemicals, everything. Yeah. The cleaning, like they'll do the skimmer. They even clean the little, I don't want to do the commercial right now, really, but what do you call it, the little soot, the little sand, the little. That's always a thing where I'd have to dive in the pool myself and use our hose to really suck up the little tiny, dirt on the bottom.

That angle there. The big, whatever, net can't get that out. They just get the, well, this guy, these guys have the thing, the super vacuum sucker thingy, and they clean all that for you. Like, they're just doing it all. They're like, all we want you do is lay here with a drink and enjoy your pool. I'm like, well, where's the, they didn't bring the drink, though. They did not bring drinks.

No, that's a good way to get into the weekend check. Oh. The pool was involved. You know, it's the backyard. We had people over. Who's bringing us that? The weekend check cannot be done yet. Okay.

Because we have a major announcement we need to make right now. I'm sorry. Do you remember? I do. Yeah. So last year, I think we announced our generic summer event. I don't know, like two days before. It was not done very well.

We actually just came up with the idea. It was a pop-up event. That's how we're going to refer to it. A flash mob, yeah. Yeah. I think we came up with the idea like a month before the event. So we're like, oh, can we do this? And we found a venue and all that kind of stuff and did it real quick.

This year, we're like, and then we had sponsors call us afterwards and they were mad. Hey, you never hit us up and said we could sponsor this thing. Or the ones that we did were like, hey, next. time maybe let us be a part of the announcement. Yeah. So anyway, this year we have a brand new generic summer event, the DZGSE. Number one, it's going to be at a different location because last year's location was sold a week after we did the whole thing. No relation.

This will be in downtown Dallas. We've had discussions with City Hall and City Council. I should say. They've all voted on this resolution and approved it that we will be at four corners brewing, brewery, brewing, four corners. Or as I found when machine texts us this weekend, we can just call it FC. Oh, 4C. Oh, 4C? Yeah, I think 4C. 4C. I'm out at 4C. Checking out the, there's no stage because we got to rent a stage. Anyway, it's at FC, 4C. and it will be brought to us by Community Mechanical.

Makes sense. Keeping us cool out there. They're going to install a BioDome. Don't be a bitch, so pick up the phone. Dan almost died. No, we're playing. It's inside. We're not doing it outside this year. Yeah, that's the thing.

So our air conditioning company is sponsoring our big event that is featuring our big event that is featuring air conditioning. That's right. Headlining this year's event is air conditioning. Yeah. Our HVAC company, Community Mechanical, where you can hook up with them and get that preventative maintenance. They'll just come out to your house.

Damn it. That reminds me. They've been texting me, and you know I'm a bad text backer. I do. I think they keep texting me during the show, and then I forget about it. She keeps being real polite. Like, hey, we're just trying to schedule your preventative. of maintenance. I got to do that.

So, yeah, they're going to bring us the summer event. They handle Brandon Aubrey's HVAC needs. They're actually talking to him about coming out and doing a bit. That's what I was going to lightly say, but not heavily say. Well, I'm just saying they're talking to him about it. I say it. Yeah. Right. We're not guaranteeing there's going to be a bit, but I'm pretty sure they will be.

Well, by the third party telling I got, he's very excited. about the possibility of what he might be able to do, like it's a funny bit. And so... It's going to suck when the Packers sign him. And it might involve Jake getting hurt. I'm not even paying attention at it. I wasn't going to burn my first F-bomb this quick into the day. I'm not going to...

I wasn't going to acknowledge it, but go ahead. Dude, what the fuck is your problem? You want to do a football season without him? No, I don't. I always said like a competent front office, but we can't have what we want. Well, look. He's locked in, bro. He is locked in.

the Cowboys are not. I know a Brandon who wants to earn it every day. He would play on one-day contracts every single day if the league and the union would allow it, but they'd be up his ass about it. He said he'd play for free. He just loves the game. Sure. But it's, yeah, the union would not even allow that.

And he cares about his fellow man so much that he's not going to wreck labor like that. Yeah. Qualis is also involved here. Oh, okay. To some degree. Qualis can be the sponsor of the weekend check if you want. So they'll be out there. QualisGC.com.

They are also, yes, one of the supporting sponsors of the DZGSE. What day? Oh, we should mention that. Six at six. Boy, I didn't realize that. Really? Yes. Saturday, June 6th at 6 p.m.

The tradition is we booked to the mark of the beast. We do the GSE, the closest Saturday to 6.9. That's correct. We did that last year. And 420 is too early in the day, even though Dan has pushed for it. Exactly two months from now. Yeah. Saturday, June 6th, Four Corners Brewery,

brought to us by Community Mechanical, is the Dumb Zone generic summer event. Weekend check starts with good turnout. everybody in lot D was there for our show man it felt like it at some points that was excellent that's fun weekend fun letty bus day

I walked around afterwards a little bit it is funny all those real multi-million dollar buses and then look it works for us the $3,000 bus that we had concerning situation

regarding the dress code among the partiers, I thought, because everybody's favorite outfit is either the the mini-jean skirt or the cut-off jeans shorts with the boots and a Rangers jersey. I'm only talking about ladies.

I don't care what guys were. So we can all agree that that's the number one outfit to attend a Rangers game. But what happens when you have aged out of that attire like many years ago? and you still want to wear the cutoff jeans.

You don't age out. And the big boots, it's like, I just remember in my youth. I remember when I used to be able to wear this. I'm just going to wear it in public again and drink as much as I can. And hope somebody takes me into a porta potty like they did 20 years ago wearing this same thing. It's really something. I love it. I uh you've always been an advocate for sort of as you get older kind of knowing what you are

and I I am not in fact I'm probably going too much the other way you'll just go speedo when you're 80 I'm more comfortable now than I was then I think although speedo yeah that's uh that that that feels like a bridge too far but yeah it was a good it was a good turnout out there it was a lot of time I've never seen a guy in a wheelchair do a beer bong let alone one from a second story. That ruled. He joysticked his ass over there at about 30 miles an hour. Almost ran into the dang bus. He was going so fast. Had to reverse, which is an unruly reverse, by the way. It's very herky jerky. But he got himself positioned, knocked it down and said, hey, I'm living, bud. You have said if you do get paralyzed or something, you will go back to drinking.

Yes, I told you that on Friday. I hadn't considered it before then, but I just want everyone to know, Like, there's some things where I'm like, all right, come on. Yeah. What are we doing? I did the new Kanye. Oh, wow. I'm not here to say Kanye's back. But I am here to say it's good.

Long. It's kind of like a two-hour, 44, five-minute movie or so. You're like, get out of there. You're like, okay. There was some good in there. I think most of the real good is early. Yeah, I heard two I liked. The second half is a bit.

A bit to 8080. You didn't see, there's your, yeah. He got, it's like all of a sudden he started 808ing it and it's like, what are you doing, Kanye? Go back to the, like the opening song is great. I can't remember what the opening song is. I should look at my Spotify. I requested that TC, you need somebody who's a stand because there's nobody with a functioning brain that thinks that there's been more than 10 good Kanye songs in the last.

10 years. Nobody. But I know those 10 are out there and I need someone crazy who will support him no matter what he does, like TC, to pick those choice nugs for me. So I asked him. Because you're right. I've heard a couple I liked, but most of it is like, wah, wah, wah, what is, what are we doing? The Black Trent Resner, 9-inch nails thing is just, I can't handle it. If I hear that guy beat on another trash can't handle it. It's not Halloween. The videos from SoFi were pretty cool. That was amazing. Yeah. I mean, the most amazing thing he's done so far in this entire, uh, maybe his career is get Lauren Hill to show up at a stage and sing on time. He played two shows at SoFi, sold it out. Completely. He's been doing this. And occasionally. I miss this, but rappers are making movies out of

their concerts and the film, like, they're not. The cinematography is insane. He is. He is. He is. He is. is. It's a good bit. It looks really, really cool. Where he just did this album? Dude, and, like, no. Everything. He did everything, dude.

Oh, yeah? 45 songs? Something like that? Where is this video? It's all on YouTube or whatever you can find it. Did he put it on YouTube? Yeah, there's a bunch of it on YouTube. It's good.

It's, you know, they play, it's an annoying medley thing that they do in hip-hop, where you might hear a minute and a half, two minutes of a song. But he does get into, like, all falls down. He goes through graduate. He does everything. Yeah. It's great. I did do that over the weekend and it gave me goosebumps.

So I did the same. After I listened to this, I'm like, okay, now I'm back into Kanye. And it does end, it doesn't end on a high. It does, like the last 10 song, you're like, oh, man, what did I just do there? I need to get, because that beginning part was really wet in my appetite. Oh, Kanye, he might be back. Soulful. So then I went back to some old Kanye to finish out my day.

Well, I don't know about you. you guys, and maybe I'm just exposing myself here, and I'm not proud of this, but I listen to, like, the same effing songs nonstop. I don't, I listen to Kanye every day. Like, if I'm listening to music, there's a 10% chance it's him, because I just don't listen to that much different shit anymore. I'm either walking, working out, doing something, and it's like, all right, well, I got about a dozen things. Me, I just don't listen to music in general. That's probably more what it is. I listened to podcast or whatever. But there was one song in there.

It's called Father. And it had a quick little clip. And it was, remember you played like a piece of audio the other day? And you're like, oh, this has been my favorite for a decade. And I had never heard it. What was it? McCutchen. Ken Griffey Jr.

So he played this little clip, and I'm like, I know that. That's a big interview that I've loved for a long, long time. Let me see if I can just find the little clip for you. Do I have that? Oh, here's the little clip. Because I look good. I smell good. I feel good.

And you sing good. And make love good. Are you familiar with that song? Are you familiar with that interview? I am now and I was lightly before, but I'm glad we're doing this. I did see this resurface over the weekend. So this is James Brown. You?

Uh-uh. Okay, good. He's on some news station. It's not Barbara Walters. My brain made me think it was, but it wasn't. He's on a news station. He just was in trouble for like some sort of domestic violence. Okay?

Smacking around his wife doing something, throwing a guitar at her. I have no idea. It wasn't an isolated incident. No. Yeah. And so he's, he's also going on this news station to promote his tour or whatever so they got to follow up on this right he was released yesterday on fifteen thousand dollars bond he joins us for from atlanta

to discuss the charges and we welcome you james brown how did all of this trouble begin living in america there's nothing wrong nothing wrong at all you're not in any difficulty but you're out on bond. No, I'm not. Have all the charges been dropped? Yeah, I'm out on love. Well, are you out on love or out of love? Which is it?

Out on love. Alone from night to night, you find me? Now, James, this isn't the first time you and your wife have had a problem. Are the two of you going to be able to work this out? Let's talk about some music. You want to talk about music and you don't want to talk about what happened? No, it's all over. Well, let's talk about your tour.

When are you leaving? leaving. We're leaving tomorrow. And where are you going? Rio de Janeiro and San Paulo. Brazil. Now your fans will have read all about this, James. Aren't you concerned about that? No, the catamuchy. No. Dagshan. I'm concerned because there's nothing wrong. And what are you going to say to your fans when they ask you some questions about it? I'm going to say, I feel good. Pauper's got a brand new bag. It's a man's world.

Well, that's the second time we've heard that in two days. That's very interesting. Now, don't leave us, James. You stay right there. I'm not going to leave us. We have to talk about. Well, tell us a little bit about what you're going to be doing on this tour. What's saying?

What are you going to be doing on this tour? I'm going to be doing. Papa's got a brand new bag of living in America. Sex machine, get up off of that thing. I feel good. It's jam! Now, I understand that you have already... James, I have to ask you one serious question here.

I understand you already have started divorce proceedings. Does that mean that you're now eligible? Oh, no. Yes, I'm asking. I want to mingle. You want to mingle. Yeah. Now, the women love you when you get out there.

Why do you think that is? What did you say? The women love you when you get out there. Why is that, ladies? Well, I'm asking you. Huh? Because I look good. You look good.

I smell good. I feel good. And you sing good. And make love good. Oh. Oh. Yeah, I do like the part he's ignoring everything she asks. James, I have to ask you one serious question here.

I understand you already have started divorce proceedings. Does that mean that you're now eligible? Oh, no. Yes, I'm out. I'm saying. Let's get the record straight on one thing here, my lady. Yeah, I will acknowledge that that I am single. God, that's so good.

And you say it's probably like late 80s. 88. I'm not saying that, you know, people were cool with it, but I don't feel like he was going to land in Brazil in 1988, and people are going to be like, I can't believe you put your hands on a woman, James Brown. Yeah, I mean, if you have the right level of celebrity, you can do that now, too. That's what we all aspire to. Also this weekend, just a quick plug.

I'm watching the show, DTF St. Louis. It's great. Jason Bateman, David Harbor, Linda Cardinelli. Love Linda Cardinelli from Freaks and Geeks, later from Madman. But actually, I avoided this show because it was called DTF St. Louis. And I'm like, I don't want to see something like that. DTF. Like, I hate that.

Yeah. But. Feels like a girl dad sticker. Very good movie. The dad from Step Brothers. Oh, big fan. Whatever his name is. Richard Jenkins.

Yeah, he's awesome. He's like a detective. Thumbs up. Big thumbs up for that show. Did not go to your house. I was planning on going to your house. And I texted Chappie at 1130. Like what time you get into Jakes?

He texted me back like at 4 o'clock or 5 o'clock and said, oh, we got there at 12 something. I didn't bring my phone. Yeah, no, that doesn't surprise me. Why? You didn't bring your phone. He's retired. He's with his wife.

Yeah. He'll just use her phone? Like, no. No, everyone that would need him is there. Pretty much. Like, who doesn't bring? What animals? If they needed him, they would get a hold of her.

You might get there one day. Yeah, sooner than you think. There's no way. I don't know. I just feel like I'm going to be a tat. I'm trying to get there. I would love to be able to just leave my phone somewhere. I can't leave my phone like in the living room and I'm out walking the dog.

I got to get back in the room. Like, I did that. other day because, oh, what if I think of something? I got to write down. Oh, yeah. No, I'm starting to work in the tape recorder, like a note taker that's independent of my phone. So that I can... What do you want to get in a turntable, too? Well, my point, and by the way, I used to cosplay this, do this. A turntable for the car? Because of Norm, right? Like, when I was a kid, I had a recorder so that I could do the bit. I could do note to self. Yeah. Oh, Norm McDonnell. But if you want to be a from your phone, but still be able to keep your thoughts, this is the best way I've come up with.

I'm not going to carry around a pen and paper. So, like, if you want to go for a walk or something, right? No? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. You guys are acting like I'm crazy for the... They have, like, little AI note-taker deals now that are digital, but in any case.

And my last thing, the reason I didn't go to your house, I did text Chappie. He didn't get me back. Like, I told him I need to be there while you're... I just know you like being around younger kids, not like in a creepy way, but like when you're older. And honestly, that's probably what the creepy thing is based on, is that older people do like being around younger people. It gives them life. I don't think they actually eat them. Wow.

What are you labeling me as here? Like Hillary. Because I'm not really into other kids. I am interested in your kids and like kids. That's what I'm saying, I guess. It's just like, see my daughters. I think it gives you. Other kids, I am very, I do not care.

I'm not sure if they were eradicated that that would bother. me at all. No. The reason and then so after he didn't text me at first, I started taking a walk and I made a call. I had a three hour and 15

minute phone call. It's overtime. With Richard Hunter. Formerly of the ticket. Three hours. And 15 minutes. Hours. I kept taking screenshots throughout and I was texting him

like, it's been two hours. But it was great. It was really good call. He had a lot of catching up to do. He's got a lot going on. Good dude. He's going to be on our show Thursday. He is all over the Lamar Odom documentary. He's the first person you see

when it starts. It's crazy. And so he'll be on with us Thursday. We move on. I'll go. I'll just, I'll go. Let's change up the order a little bit. I think I'm ready to come out as pretty pro-easter, which may seem antithetical to my existence, not a particularly religious person,

but yesterday was a day I realized this is my second favorite. It may be the favorite. You know why. It's hot. One, you're expected to be outside. Two, there's an activity built-in for the kids. Now, we can debate that activity, and we will, folks, when it comes to why Hillary lost. But there's a built-in activity. People are expected to be outside. Four, there's not a shoehorned meat. There's no like participation trophy protein where it's like, oh shit, it's Thanksgiving. Well, get the turkey. A little more flow of the offense on Easter foods.

You can do whatever. And people are like, oh, yeah, that's fine. We're not like bucking some tradition. It's just a, it's a good vibe. I think it's, I think I prefer it over Thanksgiving. We don't have any other, like holidays where you get together when it's warm, I feel. like July 4th, people don't really hit that that hard with their family.

Because you're around your family, it's always cold. I just associate being around my family of being cold. Yeah. But Easter, if you can do it right in the last couple of years since we've gotten our house, you know, since we moved in and especially now that we remodel, we can have people over and it's just the kids freaking love it, dude.

It's amazing. As long as you make sure you put everything up in the right places before everyone decides your office is playground now. I got a question. Why don't we just do fruit water all the time at home? Like my wife. Wouldn't be special.

But it's they, like all you do. Like the hotel lobby? We did it when people are over and now I wake up this morning and there's just a lime water and a lemon water there. And I'm like, what's stopping us from just doing this all the time? Sad news for Blake. Why don't we hide eggs every Sunday? That's a good point, man.

Sad news for Blake, even with all of the chocolate out, I got up today, the dog is still alive. Oh, man. We were discussing that we thought this might be a... Like just leave some eggs laying around? She got into a lot of stuff, man. She just does. I got to say this. Have you ever seen a story?

Headline. Great point. Dog dies of eating chocolate. Uh-oh. He's got vet background. What? Patrick? What?

Oh, you're saying it doesn't? Okay, good. I just knew he knew. Everybody always talks about it. I've never seen it. Okay, yeah, I thought you were going to tell me I'm wrong. Yeah, it's right there. Because you know how much peroxide we've given to our dogs over the years to make them puke?

Probably way more harmful than the amount of chocolate they've had. We had to do the same thing once dog ate chocolate. Vet said to mix peroxide with ice cream. Ugh. And then immediately. It's a waste of good ice cream. Speaking of, uh, Speaking of ice cream, my last Easter gathering note,

I'm now forcing my entire family when they come over to just eat Bluebell protein with their... So if you want to come to my house, you're getting gains. So it's the Bluebell protein, not the self-made ice cream protein that you do. No. And then we got a lot of input on this. The thing that we tried, told you guys on Friday that my wife clearly had gotten gram-brained. And her idea was to have me and a couple of other... of the guys, the dads, put on these white shirts and Velcro eggs all over them and run around and

like get attacked. And it didn't work at all. So we ended up just throwing the eggs in. And I played along until it was very obvious it wasn't working. You know, you do that with your wife a lot. Absolutely. I mean, usually it's before it even starts. You're like this shit is not going to work.

But you never feel like it's a win. You run it through and you stare at her the whole time. and you think, when will she realize this won't work? I'm going to keep going. Right. And eventually. To be nice. But, yeah, the...

Why didn't it work? Because eggs can't stick to the shirt? Because they're too heavy when they have candy in them. Okay. Yeah, if they were empty and full of paper, perhaps. But once you put a single small twicks in there and I start moving, just fail. Got to try some. So you actually, the kids are standing around?

No. Did you test it out like earlier? Yeah, we went to do it in like the laundry room, you know? And then they just ended up throwing them all out in the yard. Easiest egg hunt ever. Now, we didn't do this and I got a lot of emails like this for a WHL. Having to put names on Easter eggs. That's bad.

Only allowing certain kids to get certain groups of eggs based on age. Well, I told you we did the color coded. So if you find one pink one, then you can't have another pink one. So if you have four different kids, you could put four different pink eggs than four different green. I guess that for some reason, the fact that it was just two, it doesn't seem as bad. But I mean, our egg hunt. But it would just be you get one of each color. If you find one and the double of a color.

But isn't the point of the hunt that you're competing with the other person to get more than them? Yeah, no, first, first done. Oh, well, and there's a prize for that. Okay. Yeah, there's 10 of each color. Okay. And there's slightly different shades of pink and green and whatnot. So there's 10 of each color.

First one done, whatever. I thought the goal was to just get as much candy as possible. So you're trying to get as many eggs as possible. Well, that's the goal when you were growing up. That's what it was. Yeah, because we would do it at my grandparents on a farm. It was a big-ass farm. And we had tons and tons of cousins all ages.

It was free for all. But also the goal is that you don't. You don't always want one crying kids. I mean, yesterday. Oh, I mean, they tried to say, we'll let the older kids go last, and then as soon as the door open, they all run out. Do you add people over for this? No, we went somewhere else.

Okay. We had a road game. You can take over. Hey, make sure we give Qualis their love, though, because Qualis is bringing us to this segment, QualisGC.com. We mentioned that they're part of the generic summer event, but we should mention if you're not a long-time list,

They are a long-time sponsor, and they were there from the very beginning. They actually replaced my whole roof. QualusGCE.com 817500-9008. We got a roof inspection, a free one. If you get one, they'll give you a dumb zone t-shirt. And you're supposed to get an inspection every six months or so. That's what your insurance company would like you to do. Then, yeah, they found damage.

We hadn't had one an inspection in years. They came out, found damage, and then they took over. They called the insurance company. They dealt with all the back and forth. And the only thing that was out of pocket for us was our deductible. We have a brand new roof. Thank you, Qualis roofing. They even have a drone.

Can I hit you with a hot copy point? Oh. For the rest of the month, the people, the fine folks at Qualis, are giving away three pairs of Ranger's suite tickets. All you have to do is How come I didn't know about this? Schedule a free zero obligation roof inspection. They're giving away two pairs, actually. Refer someone that does.

You're not getting one. Why? Does. Don't give me it. Get a roof inspection and you're entering doing one of three pairs of sweet tickets. Wouldn't somebody love to be sitting next to me in that suite? I don't know if you would go. Yeah, that's the problem.

It's sweet. No, no, no. He's near 100% on that now. Sweet guy. Yeah. If you invite him. do a suite, he will likely be there. Will he see the sixth inning?

No, I didn't say a single... We didn't put the time on it. No, but... It depends. When is the game? Did the game start it? Right, at 9 a.m. Extras on this murder she wrote.

All right. Clayton, why don't you go ahead? Got a new season of Love on the Spectrum out, so... I need to do that. I spent the weekend plowing through that. I think I'd like to check that out, too. I've heard so many... What's it called? Love on the Spectrum?

Oh. We need this. No, it's been around. It's been around. What kind of spectrum are we talking about? What kind do you think? It's the only one that there is. Yeah.

So we're on season four of this now. Autistic? Yes. Yes. We're on season four. Yeah. Is it like a Bachelor thing where they're vying for one autistic guy? It's the most real, wholesome reality show there is.

Because these people aren't faking it for TV. They're not, you know, like, trying to boost their ins- They're just people on the autism. spectrum who are interested in finding a partner. And they need a little help maybe. Yeah. And like, so every time there's a new person, so we had a couple of new cast members, they'll send kind of a dating coach who's versed in how to date on the spectrum.

Like she knows, you know, like, here's some of the things you might run into. Here's what you can and can't do. Like, so we had the new guy, three new people, but hands down my favorite is Logan. Okay. He's very, like, and all these people, you got to remember, they're like in their early 20s. There's nobody really that, like, past their 30s. Most everybody's in their early 20s. He's in Vegas.

He's stepping out. Favorite show, Hannah Montana. All he talks about on his first date, every time she asks him a question about, like, pop culture or anything, it's Hannah Montana. Yeah. and he's got an imaginary girlfriend that he breaks up with after he meets like the first person that he goes on a date with. See, this is where we get to the line of whether or not it's okay to laugh or not.

Like, you certainly would not watch. Because he built himself an imaginary girlfriend. You certainly would not watch. To get through these difficult times of. And as I see. said you certainly wouldn't i realize we all would but they certainly wouldn't produce a dating show about people with down syndrome you would be like that doesn't work we're laughing at them that's that's not okay but this you know autism is a spectrum uh so there's a wide range there

there's plenty of people you know who knows whether but the imaginary friend thing and the like alternate you know i don't know how some of that i just feel like when I'm, it's just being a kid too, you know? Yeah. But, yeah, it's also would be thought of as mental illness. If you were walking around as an adult seriously thinking that you had to break up with a person who doesn't exist and you laugh at that, you are somewhat, I mean, now, I think it's funny, but anyways.

So yeah, that's, that was, got through that this weekend. I think, yeah, you probably enjoy it. It's, uh, you can pick it. And you can pick it up now if you want. Like, you can just start it now. You don't have to go back to the first season. There's no. Well, there's a thread through, but, like, they do a good job of picking up and, like, replay. They reset?

Yeah, reset each. Because there's a couple of people that are in, like, have been in long-term relationships from the show. Like, my favorite returning cast member is, where's he at? Connor is great. And Tyler, my guy Tyler from Florida. He knows every NASCAR race. I'm like, dude, this is my cousin. Like, I, I, this is just a dude rocks cowboy hats,

knows every NASCAR driver and loves country music. Is that Tony's bit? Is Tony autistic? Yeah, I would imagine that, yes, Tony is on the spectrum. And he was like an accounting guy or something before. Is that track, too? For sure. Yeah, for sure.

But numbers wizard. A lot of different, it can take on many different forms. What do you got, Blake? Let's see. Good day, an opening day, even though they lost. Did not see first pitch. I did see the fourth inning when I finally got in. How did you not see first pitch?

There was a lot of people in our parking lot, and the hotspot and mobile data. That was all not working out. So got everything torn down, walked up to Texas live to hop on their public Wi-Fi. Why don't you hand this stuff off to Clayton or TC when you have it? I had no way of getting it to them. But they were at the table with you.

How would he get them the file to do it? And honestly, again, you know this about me. I would rather just sit down and do it than explain. Do this on Patreon. Do this on substack. Do this on transistor. But when you have a day like those, you have a backup. And when you have a day like that, I want to get to this right after the show.

Just say you're doing it today. I popped an air pod in. I listened to Nadell. I walked up to Rangers Live. All right. I'm trying to help you. I know. Like other places would tell you they want you to do this work.

We're telling you we want you do less. Use what you have around you and... Nope. I'll do it. His biggest fault is he's a perfectionist. So I walked up to the Rangers Live, hopped on the public Wi-Fi, back to the parking lot, back to the stadium. And I saw this walking up.

Outside of the, what is it, the east entrance, they have a lot of plaques of lights of, like the former players. And I was really surprised by this one because it was John Wetland. Really? Yeah. Well, he did.

Save a lot of games. He also abused a child, sexually. Well, this isn't the plaque for that. It's a good point. And he apparently didn't do that before the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame voting. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that John Wetland comma RHP doesn't stand for right-handed pedophile.

He was also acquitted. I'm pretty sure. But it made it to court. I don't know. Was he good enough? I think it's almost a hundred percent chance that he did what he was accused of. Because I can say that with no repercussions. But I do think they were dismissed.

If it was Pudge, we might turn to blind eye. John Wetland. You're saying just go ahead and take him out of the Hall of Fame. What are we missing? out on. It's just the Rangers Hall of Fame. It's like, you know what? John Wetland. I feel like this is a guy who didn't just watch three straight baseball games where a little swing and miss action in the pen would have been heavily, heavily used.

Could have used a bat. 330 saves. Listen, you bring me John Wetland this weekend and they get two out of three. I don't know. He scored four runs. But my point is just we're star for closers. No, I think we need a bat. No, I mean, historically.

Like, the Rangers just don't have a guy who can. shut down the ninth inning. Well, I was reading Jamie right about that. So maybe we're like... Speaking of that, as I'm in the crowd, it's a tight game. Big X the plug is playing. You jump from Texas. It's a hardcore scene.

And then watching Chris Martin run out. Little tiny guy. He provides no confidence at all. He's not tiny, really, but he's got gray hair. He's really tall. He's graying. He can throw hard, but yeah, he doesn't. He's not missing bats.

I don't know. He doesn't come out to clocks. come out to nickel back honestly he comes out to big x yes damn that's cool i would have thought he comes out to cold play on the bit that tracks when he pitches it feels like cold play is he is a three doors down picture rocked yeah pick a different song or get better uh my old man take of the weekend is i still i understand that both leagues have dh it's the same league i don't like Interleague. For the home opener, it should not be

the Cincinnati Reds. I agree with that. It needs to be an American League team. If you want to do the Interleague stuff in the middle of the year, have at it. But that needs to be a division open. It needs to be. Dilly, dilly. A lot of people drinking. I mean, you just don't play your division

near as much, right, anymore. Yeah, there's less games. It used to be like 65% of your season. And maybe it was too much. But I just, that home opener, the first month needs to be your division. rivals. A lot of people drinking at opening day and they had a lot of bicycle cops running around making sure people weren't drinking in public. Do you know, really?

I saw a couple. But my point was, you're not very intimidating. No, the bike cop is. Because there were some people drinking in the parking lot and I saw the bicycle man, you know, cycling up to him and just hearing that, it's just not very intimidating. He's got a John Wetland card in his backslop. Right. Yeah, he's got the spoke. But what's more intimidating?

The bike or the Segway thing? Because the Segway thing, I bet you can move faster. It's a little more mobile, but you look so emasculated. A bike is like, I guess it's a sport. Yeah, who would you rather be busted by? Because I saw a guy out there with one of those things, and I was just, I laughed. The Paul Blart thing? Yeah, it's kind of like that.

You still have a helmet on? Yeah. So this was a carryover from last weekend, but I got invited to a community theater. So I took Brooks, the wife, the baby, and we saw Tusk Everlasting at the Fairview Performance Theater. Is this Beth related? No, it's another listener. Yeah, another listener. And I thought this one was cool because it was both like high school kids and parents.

Yeah, Sean Carnan did this. like he acted with his kid in a play. I thought that was pretty neat. Yeah. If that's your thing. I do it with kids that aren't mine. Yeah. I just kind of go.

Sure. Volunteer my time. I also thought it was cool because we're in the age now where I want to see Brooks's imagination. There's whatever. There's a lot of screens. There's a lot of everything. But like for him to sit down and he doesn't understand most of the words in these songs. But for him to watch half a play, we had bedtime.

And just tell me, all right, what was that about? And then just see where he goes from there. We have a couple books that don't have any words. It's just pictures. Okay, tell me what's going on. Yeah, that's good stuff. That's cool to see. And that's something I've been rolling on.

Ooh. Was at my parents' house this weekend? Their choice for movies. Remember, last time it was Twister. Just walked in on mid-T-N-T-T-Twister watch. Mid-C-M-T. I think this was either, this might have been I don't know.

It must have been John Travolta weekend. Because when I showed up, it was Greece. And when I left, it was look who's talking. I love it. Too quality. I kind of do, too. You know, the movie gives you an opportunity to get up, go to the bathroom when they go to commercial. It's just nice.

Just watching movies at home. Yeah. Man, I had to watch, we're going to do the Bob Barker Dock at some point. Yeah. I had to watch commercials to watch that. And I almost committed Sapuku. Just to let you know what a baby I have I've become

I'm the same way dude I literally got out my phone and started pressing Like where's the pay button? I will pay whatever I have to point and pay Just make this go away It's because it's on like E on YouTube TV Yeah so it's like on demand yeah There's an ad like every seven, eight minutes

I was like Jesus Pete Take my money We talk about the things that our playgrounds used to say a lot I used to hear this phrase a lot I don't really ever knew I guess what it meant if it was real. If something was street legal.

Oh, damn, bro. Dude, did you hear about it? He got his truck. He got the plates on it. They're street legal now. At our Easter egg hunt, they're dirt bike people. And I heard that saw, not street legal. It's not street legal.

His dad took the governor off the golf cart. It's not street legal anymore. What is it? A cop sees you and it's going immediately just recognize. Oh, my God. That's good. You got a list. legal. That would be legal

in some areas. Yeah. Not out here, but take it to the sidewalk. Did you hear about Jason's Impressa? Impounded, not street. Not least not street. Dude, I don't know if those motorized bikes that kids are riding now are

or aren't, but they terrify me. They're real popular in Dan's neighborhood. They are not allowed in my house because my ICU nurse has seen too many kids fall up those things. They go, they're 30, 30, 30, 30, it feels like they're going 30, 35 miles an hour. like riding them like their bikes. Like in and out of traffic.

Yeah, that's my handoff. I feel like this is two things. My handoff thing is these guys are riding bikes that aren't, they don't pedal. Right. They just, they're sitting on them. How are the kids getting exercise out there? You're just on this little motorbike thingy. Yeah.

But it looks exactly like a bike. Yeah. Like at least back in my day, there was something called a moped. And it kind of looked more motorcycle-ish. And so it meant this is a level, this is an actual. motor bike. We don't expect you to think, like, you're trying to fool us. All these kids are like, ah, I'm out getting exercise riding a bike.

Well, Julie said it's why her kid didn't want to learn to ride a bike. Yeah. He's like, why? Yeah. And then my final thing, so my wife works on the weekend, so she was not able to see any of the Easter egg hunts that we had. And so I had to film Brooks. And, you know, we film everything.

We actually filmed too much. But I'm thinking about, in my older age, I actually might go back and watch Easter egg hunts. Like when you're old, go back and watch these times. Yeah, if you've got to think, like, I want to see my kid when he was five. You know my bit. You don't want to go watch that. You want to watch the mundane.

Well, there's actually, you could kind of have a mix of both. And let me tell you what I miss about. You can video him just hanging out, walking around the house. This is what sucks about the phone filming. Reading a book. I found a ton of tapes recently. Like, I worked with the two of you, I think. I got a bunch of my old stuff digitized.

and what you used to do was just keep the camcorder out for like half an hour. Nobody does that with their phone. Right. I found a video of our Easter egg hunt. That was his grandma. And it's my dad. He's probably 35, 34. And he's narrating like all of Easter.

Yeah. He's talking about his dad. Like he just narrates the hunt. That's, yes. And it's awesome. That nobody's going to do that, you know? Yes, that used to be the way. So there's a lot of mundane, but it's a mundane like gathering, you know?

Right. That was kind of my point is it's a 10-minute video. That's what you need. It's some level of in-between. Yeah, it's not a minute and a half where he's doing something. It's a 10-minute, watch him walk around, watch him find stuff. And what you say about those videos, there are no videos of your dad. Because the dad is always the one taking the video.

Right. And so we don't know what he looked like. Chris Martin, $44 million. Are you serious? Is what he has made in his career. He's been around, man. I'm just looking at Chris Martin's career. He didn't even really make the big leagues until he was almost 30.

He was in Asia, right? Then he went to Japan. Okay. And then he came back and pretty much just spared everyone to death every single year. One year, though, he had a 1.05 ERA in 151 innings. And somehow in 51 innings, he got a lot of holds. He only had like three saves. He finished 12th in Cy Young Award voting.

Because he was a, apparently he might have been a setup guy for the Red Sox. So if you work on the East Coast. That's insane. That's stupid. Yeah. Well, Chris Martin's stuff for you. Yeah. And then his wife made those candles.

That's different. How is he supposed to keep pitching? We now will do some sports and stuff. We're going to change gears and it'll be brought to us by. I saidcestero on the day. Saucerone, successorone, whatever the thing is. Saucerone.

I told you I love Easter and just really enjoyed having people over, but it's probably just that I enjoy life. And I enjoy life because the fine folks at Game Day men's health helped me be the best me. Gameday.com. They have 12 locations.

I'm going to give you a tiny piece of audio to start. I know you got a lot of stuff. Yeah. But this was floating around out there. imagine this comes from the NBA's Amazon broadcast, but Dirk is sitting on the set with Dwayne Wade. Dirk has his phone out, and they're about to show a picture that's on D. Rirk's phone. I remember this. Can you show the cameras, please? Yeah, so this is, this is LeBron and my guy D. Wade. What are we doing? Fake, fake coffin. Number one, it pains me to have D. Wade.

I think you're doing it because you're getting paid a lot of money. I think you hate him. I hope you hate him. I don't want you to like Dwayne Wade. In the 2011 finals. How child is was that moment? Yeah, I mean, you know, actually, so I was sick for that game four. And then I ended up not seeing this until after game four.

So I saw this before game four. Five, I believe. I didn't appreciate it. Anyway, it's like a three-minute cut, but they go on to, they kind of make nice. Dwayne Wade is like, well, I mean, we were young. We were young. It was about 30 or 29. I don't know that that absolves you that we were young.

You were trying to be a dick. Yeah. You had heard there were media reports that he was coughing. They acted like, oh, Dwayne Wade like goes on in here to just say, oh, I, I mean, the cameras just caught us. We were just, no, you did it because the camera was there. Right. You were cocky. You're an asshole.

You are an asshole. You're not as good as Dirk. You don't deserve the 2006 finals. But I guess without the 2006 finals, the 2011 doesn't feel like it felt, you know. So it all means something, but I just don't, I don't like seeing Dwayne Wade and Dirk yuck it up. Dirk is the nicest guy in the world. He'll yuck it up with anybody. He'll put bygones.

I won't. I'm not the nicest guy in the world. I won't hang out with anybody unless they do pay me Dirk's salary to do the same thing. And I'll then love Dwayne Wade. But until that day, I don't like seeing this. How did it take us this long to get to the point in interviews where, we're like, hey, why don't you watch this and talk to me about it? Like, it feels like the last day that's revolutionized documentary making.

And now I'm watching the Bob Barker documentary. Same thing. Same exact thing. They've got everybody's holding an iPad watching the show. So now I'm going to video you watching another video. How do we not think of this? Like, you know, I mean, even I, during the, like, Stars games, DLS, Craig Ludwig will do it in intermissions. Like, they have the video of the game.

So he can just sit there and put it up, draw it, like put it right back out there. Anyways, yeah, I'm with you. But Dirk's a healthy, he's an emotionally healthy person. So he's, but I also think he's an MFer at heart. And he'll never fully let that go. Ever. And yeah, he was young, and that's the reason why he did an A-Hole move, and you own it later and say I was an asshole,

and he got his lick in on you, so. It just does make you think, though. And watching that in Lamar Odom, because the Lamar Odom thing, like he was obviously, he went to the Mavs after the Mother's Day massacre. But it just got me thinking more about Dirk's. Just that run. I mean, the time I loved basketball the most was certainly that. And then the Luka era.

It's all not the same for sure now. But that run is what an incredible four weeks. Yeah, I don't know. I could talk about it forever. I think if there's the biggest thing that I have to fight against, especially in this job, because we consume so much of the same topics of information, I have to convince myself to avoid like being myopic. Right. Like to me, the Mavericks title really is the most unique sports title or the most unique NBA one of at least the last, let's whatever, 25 years. I just, how many other rosters had no players?

had won a title before. And it was in the middle of... The run to the superstar. Runs. Dynasties. Dynasties. They had nobody who had ever won the average age of the team. They only had one all-star. Like, I feel like... And then that's before you even get to the postseason,

where you stack up the teams they beat. And the fact that then you have 06 behind it and they end up playing the same team. So to me, if storyline is your thing, I just don't know how there's anything that stacks up to that. I don't see it in any other sport. Dirk about to become the greatest player that never won a title. You know, he was going to take that title from Charles Barkley

because he's a better player. And we had pretty much, yes, especially once LeBron went to play with Wade, it's like, well, now. Yeah, it's their time. It was just the Lakers thing. The Lakers just won three in a row. and now this is going to happen, like, we're done. We just, this is going to be, you know, going to look at history.

It's going to be like, okay, Patrick Ewing never won because there was Michael Jordan in his way, you know? Yeah. And that was going to happen to Dirk, but then it didn't. And then, and like you say, the story, like even he wouldn't go, he wouldn't hold the Western Conference trophy. Like, he didn't care. He didn't want that. That's not why he's here. Like that's just, it's chilling to think about that.

To me, makes it untouchable on that front. And then if I wasn't so self-obsessed to think that like the Mavericks had the most important title, I'm pretty sure I witnessed and experienced the biggest trade in sports history on the same team. Like within like a 10 to 15 year period. Just a lot of cataclysmic type things happening. But it's early in the baseball season. I'm not here to make any grand proclamations. the Rangers got swept at home the first home opening sweep i think since

2016 or 17 they were not all that competitive at the plate but i feel like if you come out of a weekend and you get like nails start out of lighter and fun productive start out of kumar rocker like that's the future of this thing if it has a chance kumar rocker by the way now sounds to me like John Rocker's fake son that he wants to pick up in one of those Somali videos that he was filming. Hey, I'm here to pick up my fucking son, Kumar. Kumar Rocker. I can't stop thinking about those videos he did.

John Rocker? Yes, where he's just trolling Minnesota daycares. But he was good. He was really good. Lighter was better. They both deserved better. But if you score four runs in three in three games, that's what you're going to get. Well, John Peterson finally got a hit.

Now, Jock Peterson was O for forever when he came to the plate and hit a game-tying solo home run yesterday. And earlier in the game, he had been booed at least once, if not more, at the plate. Did you see his home run? Have you seen his reaction? Uh-uh. It almost didn't get out. And if it didn't get out, it would have been very embarrassing because he stopped. He didn't even head to first.

He looked over and flammed the bat down. Two huge F-U. F-N-P-S-U. F-N-P-P's F-U. F-U. Yeah, that's what John Boy said. Keep talking shit. Keep talking shit, pussies. Oh, John Boy did one?

I'm like, bro. First of all. And it barely went out? By the end of it, dude, it was carrying for a long time. It was up there. I'm like, oh, God. And he was getting clown in a bunch of my group chats. And I'm like, dude, I felt it for him.

Why? He just looks like he's dying up there, dude. That's why I said. It's like watching Iber flus this year. When the Cowboys defense played one good game, I wasn't going to get upset that he looked like, for one night, everyone's not blaming me for this. But it was weird because it's basically like he's yelling at the fans.

Keep talking shit. Yeah, dude, I don't know. You signed a massive, not massive, but a pretty big two-year deal and you've done dick. I don't think you should be yelling that. after one home run. And then he grounded into a double play in the bottom of the ninth. Thanks for that.

And then I think actually before that, though, no wait, it was with two outs. It was Haggardy. It was Haggurty got up 3-0 in the bottom of the ninth. Haggurty. Sean, wasn't it? Yeah. In the bottom of the ninth. And there was one out at this point.

The fourth pitch, Dan, was well. inside. Dave Raymond didn't say anything about it. The TV copy showed it. I went and looked it up on the ABS thing. They called it a strike. I texted Jared about it this morning. He's like, yeah, you know, maybe he didn't, he doesn't see the inside of the plate as well, this and that and a lot of like good explanations. But dude, I'm saying there needs to be a rule in the dugout. Like if it's 3-0, we're going to challenge if it's even close up here if they call a strike, especially in that situation. I didn't even think about it. We need a runner. He ended up striking out.

I'm pretty sure. He fouled one off. Oh, my gosh, really? Yeah, and that was a second out of the bottom of the night. They needed a base runner, and he's one of the better base dealers in the league, or on their team, at least. So it didn't even think, it didn't even look like he thought about it. And then that got me thinking, like, I don't know anything about this manager. All I know that he was, I just know he was like the chosen guy.

After, you know, being a losing manager with the Marlins. Right. But, you know. And I don't know how common it is. the Maryland. Right. The more I think about it, wouldn't you have preferred him come in with like an extremely defined, detailed, ready to explain, like, next level plan about the automatic balls?

Like, he could have been Steve Kerr. Remember when you heard Steve Kerr got hired and he knew that he had just like been preparing and preparing these dock binders of how this is how I want to play the game? Just talking to the guys in Milwaukee. Like I feel. They seem to have a very well thought out. Like, you know, we've seen this coming. A lot of guys have played with it.

We've, you know, and they got an old manager. Yeah. Right, Pat Murphy. So they, you know. Hot dogs in his pocket. Talk to everybody and just kind of decide this is our plan going into the season. This could change. But yes, we are doing things this way where the Rangers do seem like, huh.

Yeah. I mean, it was bad. You're saying the ABS is a thing. I mean, they don't really do it at all. So there's that. But then that one was just crazy to me. I know that they don't have the exact same view on TV that we do. But I was surprised even Dave didn't say anything about it.

It was like this is 3-0. We need a runner. Speaking of Dave, Bassett, they're incredible. I love watching them. I think we're very, very lucky. This to me is, I'm going to call this clip, just peak baseball analysis. This is what you fall asleep to on the couch.

Pretty good ball game here today. two to one Cincinnati. How about Terry Frankona now? He's no stranger to this stuff, but all five of their wins so far this year have been by two or fewer runs. Extra ice cream for Tito. Sometimes very late at night,

we'll order ice cream from room service, calm the nerves. So I, of course, had to look this up, and that's behavior that the emailer who hits up Dan and calls my ice cream, consumption addict behavior is certainly correct and tito is known to order like five scoops from room service at like two or three a m because he says it calms him down just you're just looking for a dopamine hit my man is he a i don't i wasn't able to find but that is a very that's that's a move

calm the nerves i didn't know that yeah like literally middle of the night three a m kind of stuff Now Blake hates ordering DoorDash on the road. What do you fall on this? Yeah, if it's 3 a.m., it's fine. You know, he hates that? Like, he shames DoorDash on the road because you're not going and eating in a local pub, like in the kitchen with an illegal.

It's like... I mean, if it's 6.30 and you're within a couple blocks of restaurants with local flavor, but no, if you order a whopper, that's lame. There's Martin's first pitch, and that one is wrapped out into right field for a base hit. So Benson leads off the ninth with a single. Just one more question on the ice cream. Is it always vanilla? I don't know.

I doubt it. It seems like an occasional butter pecan, something like that. Okay. Brian Hayes. It's just baseball. Oh, yeah. It's just baseball. A lot of time.

Maybe perhaps butter pecant. Have they ever? Here's the two ones. They've certainly added up. They add up football and they'll say it's only 15 minutes of action time. What about baseball? That would be impossible. So how much is it is a strike a second?

Oh yeah, is a pitch. A pitch, I guess, is action. Yeah. No, I mean, despite the three L's, I had a lot of fun watching Ranger baseball this weekend. I don't think that they're very good. I don't. They scored four runs. Yeah, and they have like the hardest, you know, now I'm into the hard hit ball stuff, right?

That's kind of cool. it's predictive, it's better than batting average, et cetera. It's predictive. That's what I'm looking for. And then 95 mile an hour or harder hit balls, even after yesterday, there's still number one in MLB, which usually portends better results. And so there is some level of bad luck. I think their park is a problem for those lineup of hitters they have.

The ball is just dying up there. But the biggest problem is they have three or four guys. They have no choice but to play who are not going to be better. than they are right now. I don't think. I think why it'll get better. Why it's not a problem. I'm not counting why.

Josh Young, Josh Smith. Obviously, Jock is a problem. I was going to mention. You can't put it. You don't even count Jock? Who else are they going to put that? Who are they going to D.H?

They don't have another guy who's like waiting to come. In some days, that's what they'll do. I would Dach him every day until he settles down. He's been, yeah, he's been a great hitter. Did you see hockey news?

I guess I didn't. A baby was born at the Oilers game. Wow. What? Somebody went into labor at the Oilers game. And so they delivered the baby up there. On the ice? It was.

They did it in one goal and see if they could slide all the way down to the other. Yeah, it was during the between periods bit. Yeah. No, they had three pregnant ladies there, and it was like, whichever one could drop a baby on the ice. Yeah. Yeah. And yeah, she won.

That is very Canada. It's very Edmonton. A lot of people don't know. Maybe it was just me, and a lot of people do know, but just a significant portion of rednecks in that country. The Buffalo Sabres made the playoffs, and that's a big deal, because they had the longest drought in pro sports. So who now has the longest drought?

Not since Pat LaFontaine? In pro sports. playoff drought. It is a football team. The Jets? The New York Jets. It's been 15 years now since they've made the playoffs. Who was the O.C.? The 2012 team calling those shotties. Their offense was putrid. What do you mean?

I know. That's the main thing. Are we sitting around bragging about... A lot of people look at the butt fumble and see mistakes. I see innovation. I don't think we have time for shoddy audio. We got all week, man. Because I have unbelievable shoddy. So that's cool. Baseball? Yeah.

Longest drought. The A's? It's the Angels. That is insane. That is insane. You've had Trout. You had Trout and Otani for quite a bit of that. Basketball, the Hornets, and shockingly now, in hockey.

I think it's shocking because it used to be the model of consistency, playoff consistency is the Detroit Red Wings. They lost Jim Nill. And we stole Jim Nill away from them. They could have just... Can I ask a baseball question? Does that mean that they don't count playing games? Because that's good if they don't.

Why? Were the Angels in a playing game last couple years? I feel like Mike Trout has been in a... They shouldn't, though. Are you telling me the playing game in the NBA is a playoff? No, they shouldn't. and I'm, that's why I'm, I'm glad if that's what I'm learning here. But yeah, that's, uh, that's brutal.

I found the MLB time. Total action 18 minutes, pure action, ball and play, less than six. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. Like I said, maybe you can take a nap. It was a nap-type weekend. I don't know. I feel like I'm going to watch the Rangers all the way through this year, Dan,

even if they suck, just because I'm trying to get interested at different little, elements of it. And they're a frustrating team to watch. I feel like I would have a much easier time watching the Brewers. For example, Dan, both Cincinnati runs yesterday, got to first, stole second, and then scored. I hate it. I hate it. I don't like watching, like, I don't like, I don't like, I want an archetypal baseball team that has a closer that throw strikes and gets swings and misses and has a catcher that you at least kind of can't run on. Or an outfielder. They don't have an outfielder. They don't have, like, it's just free range.

And especially if it's Dela Cruz, right? But now he got pitching. Dude, he was awesome this weekend. Yeah, he did. God, he was awesome. Bamba. So, numbers didn't back this up because I thought the same thing. I thought people are stealing bags at an incredible rate.

On the Rangers or just in general? I just noted watching the Rangers and Reds this weekend. I thought, wow, that's a lot of stolen bases. And stolen bases are up. The bases are bigger, the pitch clock. Yeah, remember that. There are other factors. But I remember doing this segment a couple years ago,

catchers are now receiving on one knee. Oh, yeah, that's right. In 2020, 23% of catchers were receiving on one knee. Now it is 95%. So league-wide, catchers are down on one knee to buy more strikes. But I noticed a couple times... That's a trade-off. Well, I noticed a couple times balls in the dirt,

they're not able to block it straight down anymore because they're not in good position. and so the ball is squirting in front of the home plate, and I remember two instances on the game on Sunday where the runner stole second on that. That's interesting. So I don't have any hard evidence, and I'm sure Jared Sandler will email that I'm an idiot,

but I promise you there is something to that. Interesting. Something to note. More? What do you got from Jerry? What did Jerry do? Oh, yeah, I got a little bit of Jerry for you. If you want to do that, this is fun.

We'll hop in right here. versus if they want to have the conversation directly with you. Have you gotten any of that guidance yet? All right. So this is your, this is your, you knew this was coming. This is, we've got to negotiate with David Mulligeta. He is George Pickens agent. And does Jerry talk to agents?

Last year he said, I don't talk to agents. That's Micah and his agents deal, blah, blah, blah. But we're back. Well, guidance isn't the word for it. But the facts are that I've talked to hundreds of agents in my time over the last 35 years. and have talked to some recently. Again, there's no issue with me with talking to agents. I need to do a better job of not getting, well, Daddy said I could have it.

And him going to Mama and Mama saying Daddy said I could have it, we've got to get on the same page. I have something to do with that as well. But we've just got to when we're dealing with agents, when I also do visit with players always have, sometimes make the deal with the player, always have. It always works out. If he worked without an agent, he'd save a lot of money.

Do you anticipate going into... With me. That's a little bit of the headline for the weekend. He can't leave it alone, man. I think he's saying we should do it. I'll pay you the fee. Well, no. At first, though, he's saying we shouldn't negotiate with players because that causes the problem of going, then he says this.

He goes back to the agent. Obviously, he remembers the last thing that happened, and it was Micah. So that was the case with Micah, or at least in his mind. It was the case that he and Micah had a deal and then he goes back and but this and that. So he's on one hand saying I should just talk to the agent because it takes out the confusion. And then on the other hand, he's saying, actually, if I'm going to talk to one of the parties, I should just talk to the player. Yeah, that's right. Because they're going to save a lot of money.

That's the part that I thought was funny is that he's like, you know, I don't want to get this mixed up. Why don't I just get this guy out of here and then lightly float the idea that, frankly, you'd make more money. Great selling point. We were told that at the ticket at various times throughout the history is, look, this agent takes what? What's percent? Five, 10 percent. I mean, that 10 percent could be going to.

Yeah. And like, you know what? If I thought that you were going to fairly, like if it was, if there was just some kind of market value thing and you were going to give that whether the agent was involved. I mean, it does suck that the agent has to be involved. Did you say fairly? I did. Fairlease.org, folks. Okay.

That is where we suggest you lease your next vehicle. Our guys at Puddle Pools over here have been working with Fair Lease on commercial vehicles. Travis. Oh, yeah? At Community did the same. They can hook you up with that. That's a big part of their business. Outfit and work trucks.

Saving your business money. Also on the, I don't know, you side, 972-705-4815. Ask for Connor or Nick. They work with the credit union to Texas so they can help you out if you're in some sort of a maybe a upside down loan. If you're in a bad lease, maybe with D&M, we've heard from people that got out of leases with that consortium. Fairlease can help you out.

It is the fair way to buy a used car. Fairlease.org. Click request a quote and then select the dumb zone or the phone number 972705-4815. Fair lease, when you don't know what to do about a car, because car stuff is hard. You don't need a dealership, baby. I also heard Jerry was

So he's talking contract and it kind of seems he thinks that's done, right? The way I'm evaluating his thoughts on George Pickens is that is done, we are moving forward and same with Brandon Aubrey. Yeah.

The Brandon Aubrey thing, it's done, we're now moving forward. Correct. And that it will be the franchise tag and the tender. Yeah, because reporters are like, are you going to talk to them? Are you going to anticipate any more negotiations? And he's like, well, this is what the CBA says.

We've locked it in. And it's done. It's moving forward. That's his normal position. He did that with Zique. Like he did, like, well, I mean, he's supposed to be here. So I don't really understand. We're not negotiating.

He's not coming to work is what's happening. And I heard the one-star guys mentioning this, too. And the good point is because. If you do get signed on the franchise tag and you don't like it and you want to hold out, you can hold out. But it's like now there's a mandatory they have to find you if you're missing camp. So they will be finding you. So since that's actually mandatory, it's in the CBA, you can't be a cool guy like the Cowboys have been in the past. Like, all right, we're not going to find you those days you were gone because now we're all happy again.

they will hold in. And that's what causes the bigger problem is Micah being here at camp. Micah being here holding press conferences after practice that he did not participate in. That's then a problem because he's standing right there and everybody can get asked about it. And it becomes the story because there's one guy here that's not playing along. Bigger problem with Micah for sure because he's also coming in with the I want more money. I'm talking about the great leader I'm going to be. And a great leader is certainly on the field.

And that's the way Jerry saw it with Dak. Like, he's a great leader. We put him on the franchise tag. He didn't like it. He went to camp, played through it, got another franchise tag. Did he do two or just one? The point is he just kept playing through it. Now, George Pickens' point will be, if he gets hurt,

George Pickens, the market dries up for him. Whereas DAC still had all the leverage, even though he did have a major injury while he was on the franchise tag. It's just a scarcity of a position thing. Yeah. Just, he's in a tough spot because that is a position where you get, I mean, not saying it's football, you could get hurt,

but it's a position where if you get hurt, you might never be back. Right. And so the point is George Pickens will probably do that. He will do the hold in. So he's going to show up to camp, but he's not going to participate in practice. Who probably handle it pretty well? He's George Pickens. It's going to be good.

Well, and then Shottie gets put to the test because supposedly, I mean, Shottie at least bills himself as guy who has really strong, great relationship with all these guys. We all know that's kind of not really true, right? He might have strong great relationships with other assistant coaches around the league who are low on the totem pole, but I just don't think he's relating to any of the players. I have no idea. Except potentially, Dak. I have no idea, but...

Certainly not George Pickens and Cedy Lambs. It's a frustrating way to do business. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what they thought of McCarthy, you know? I mean, George Pickens played for Mike Tomlin and did not give a shit what he had to say. So I don't know. I know our show's general disposition is the guy sucks. I do think he's goofy, but I don't know that he's like incapable of being cool with NFL players any more than a lot of these guys are.

They're all kind of. I'm just going to drip out some shoddy because he was talking about going to Pro Day at Austin. And then he was going to dinner with guys. Yeah, I'm sure he was. He loves dinner, but listen to this one. Jayden Blue taking the next step. You know, I offered him to come to dinner when I was in Austin. He didn't make it.

So he obviously had a better offer than me. Yeah, he's not responding. No one's responding to Shottie. He might have. And there's a guy on the bubble who could do a little ass kicking and maybe get a little, or ass kissing. Yeah. And a little more playing time.

And Jayden Blue's like, he got out of his phone and showed the blunt rotation. This motherfucker's trying to get. It's Shottie. They all start laughing. You're sitting in some house in Austin like, no, bud. I'm not coming to dinner with you. Free dinner. Oh, wow.

Thanks. I can't get that in all. Austin. Does Jade and Blue get free food in Austin? Yes, dude. A hundred percent. Like, I mean, maybe not like everywhere he goes, but he wanted to get a like, the way this works is not like you walk into Burger King

and they're like, that's Jane Blue. It's more like if he wanted to call and get a reservation through some booster, like I want to take Shottie to dinner, he's not paying for it. No chance. That's, I think that's the way that works. He's got more juice there than Shottie does as much. my point. He's no Cedric Benson. You know

why? Bless up. Because he's alive? Because he's alive. Yeah. The Dumbzone. So said you were looking for me? Son.

This about the Easter baskets? I don't even know what that is. And I tell you that you're telling him, I don't know. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. Yes, you are? Easter. You'll get you with. Yeah.

Blake brought this up last week when he was doing some family stuff. I posted about this on Twitter, but I saw it happen. I've seen it happen. Yesterday, Easter, I think, is now going to be our biggest holiday for people denying that they're on peptides. Because you're probably a lot of times starting at the start of the year. You're trying to get that summer bod ready. And this might be the first time you see your whole family. And so Blake saw it last week.

Somebody said, but boy, you look great. What did you do? Diet and exercise. Saw a couple of those. And then I saw a situation. I had to stand up for my dad because he was getting old man muscle mogged because my father-in-law is on peptides like me. And I'm a proponent, game day. day.

Dumbzone.com. But as I'm standing, and he's on some different ones, he looks like a linebacker right now. And my dad was looking at him and he was like, damn man he's like what's going on he's like three four time and i got mine out of the fridge i was like he's on this say don't let him this is the cajian father-in-law no oh no but my point is just i'm out here on the i'm gonna police this yeah it's i'm i'm pro zimpic i'm pro peptide i'm pro all of it but i don't i think when people ask you should not be able to look them in the eye and say supersets don't lie about it it's all it is you do whatever you want i work out three

times a week. Own it. And Easter's going to be a big day for that. Sniff it out. How are your kids with all these grandparents? I mean, I had eight, seven. Really? Yeah, but my whole life.

These were born into it, though. Oh, because it feels like you, I thought you, yours, like, happened while you're older. Seven. Okay. So, I mean, I, I, their life is much simpler than mine because we, Don't go to. We've either severed relationships with parts of the family or they just come to us. I would have to go to two or three or four places for every holiday across two or three days.

Sometimes more than that. You've severed relationships? Well, like, my mom didn't, you know, I hadn't, I didn't speak to, like, a bunch of people in my mom's family for a long time. Before I'm, like, my, you know. Because they had some kind of volatile? Extremely, the whole time. Extremely, yeah No, I mean, we used to, that, that was,

I was thinking about that yesterday, it was like, it was a very chill, fun day, and like, I had a good childhood, but holidays, man, holidays were, uh, I just, you just knew, you knew, like, man, which adult is pissed at which adult today because they are going to have it out.

It's great, good times. Did you watch the Lamar Odom documentary? I did. You? Mm-mm, not yet. Okay. I just want to say it's very good. If you're a Dallas Mavericks person and you're around for Lamar Odom, I think you need to watch it.

It's called The Death and Life of Lamar Odom, Untold. They kind of lay it out as if going to Dallas was what triggered it all. Like, Lamar Odom sucks as a person. He's a bad guy, and he's done a lot of bad things. and things spiraled out of control and they kind of point to the trade to Dallas that really triggered it all. In my opinion,

it all would have gone bad no matter where Lamar Odom was. Yeah, but that's not too conflicting things. You're right and that's right. He was a person who needed to be in a coddled, perfect situation to function. So no matter where he went, it was going to be bad. And Dallas just happened to be it.

Got a reality show and a sex swing out of it at the W. But it was going to, you're right, it would have been anywhere. He seemed like, go ahead. I don't know. I think I disagree with you. I'm glad I watched it because we're going to have big dick on and we can talk about it. I'm glad I watched it so we can talk about it.

I thought it sucked. And here's why. The way that these E documentary, or maybe the other one was E and this one was Netflix. Yeah. It is Netflix. This is Netflix. Every like 10 minutes, maybe eight minutes, they're building to like a, reset and so

every it's like every eight minutes is the end of the documentary now in every documentary dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun like pause we're seven minutes in how is this the whole hour I feel like it's not this documentary's fault

it's just there's a format now that's so dramatic okay I'm gonna have to look because I got to go get a little audio for Thursday it's just everything I hope you're not confusing the no because my wife and I watched all of this one, and it was just, it felt a little bit dramatic.

But at the same time, TC texting me about it when I was halfway through, and he was like, this guy's like the biggest piece of shit I've ever seen in my life. Well, that's the thing. And in my head, I was like, man, I know he's an addict, and I'm not trying to, like, make excuses, but I wasn't through yet. And then you finished the documentary, and I'm like, yeah, this guy's a huge piece of shit. Right. So throughout it, you're kind of like, oh, this is a documentary.

He's all over it. So clearly they're like, okay, you're going to have some kind of editorial control over this. Yeah. And you keep waiting for the end was going to see, because throughout, he was, you know, a product maybe of our society that worships seven foot tall people that can play basketball. You know, he would talk about he failed classes and there was no accountability. They would just let him go through. He basically always did whatever he wanted. He really wanted to be famous.

He met Chloe Kardashian, ended up marrying her in 30 days after meeting. And according to Chloe, he pushed for like the, he wanted Chloe and Lamar reality show. She was like, I was already on like three reality shows thinking it was a lot.

But, you know, I love my little lamb, lamb. She's the superstar here. I was, that's where I wanted to go. I've always thought she was cool. she's the coolest. She comes off, like, rating on how do you look coming out of this? She's a 10 of 10 or a one of whatever.

She comes out of this looking like the greatest wife who's ever lived. Because she had multiple occasions to say, you know what? I'm out of here. I don't want to deal with you. They were already divorced. He had been cheating on her left and right. The divorce papers just weren't officially finalized. When he was found at the Big Richard Hunter brothel, you know, in a coma with doing cocaine, you know, for three days and just nailing all the chicks, she then went to support him, went to the hospital, changed his diapers.

She, like, she was doing everything for him. And then he still screwed her over. Like, after that, like, she found him a place. she was trying to, her best, she looks great in all of this. And then by the end of it, you're like, okay, so they'd interview his kids. And his kids are like, actually, they invited us to L.A. for the championship parade. He finally won a championship. He won it with the Lakers.

And so, you know, we went to his place the next day to go to the parade with him. And we're knocking on his door. We knew he was there. He just didn't answer the door. And then we just went home, watched the parade. on TV and there he was on a float. Yeah, he had told his family like, I'm too sick, I can't go. And then so they left and went home.

Then they turned on the TV and he was there partying. And then he was like, you know, and then at the end, they kind of, they go to him right after that. And they're like, what about the time you left your kids high and dry for the parade? And he's like, I don't even remember that. I don't know. I didn't know what happened. Like probably a lot of stuff I don't remember.

Yeah. And I thought, well, that's just giving drugs the excuse of, Well, I guess. So you didn't, like, you would know about it, though. Like, so then by the end, I'm thinking, okay, well, then this will be the part where they show video of him playing catch with his kid and he's reconnected and he's just trying to get his life back together. At the end, he's like, yeah, man. Like, the last interview with a kid is, yeah, I haven't talked to him and whatever. He's not, he's still an asshole.

They talked about he was on celebrity big. brother who's on celebrity rehab or something. Like he was on all these shows. To me, this is just his latest in the line of, I just want to be a celebrity and I want to hang on to being a celebrity. Yeah. And so now it's 10 years after he was even in the league. They're like, well, let's do this, untold on Lamar.

Yeah, yeah, I'll do it. He's so desperate for attention that he doesn't know they're making him look awful. Yeah, and at the end, they do kind of like a John Hughes soundtrack. track and it's like, that's where the cheery, like, oh, he's getting his life back together. And then he's like, think I'm an A-list celebrity now, like, as he's taken off his mic. Like, that's his only thought, this whole thing is keeping the, I'm still a celebrity, like so much so that Netflix wants me on this documentary. And he's thinking that's kind of an honor.

And it was, I mean, it's interesting and good because he died and then came back to life and all, but he's the worst. The worst, like, and you don't think after this, like, oh, my gosh. He's not as bad as I thought. He's worse than I thought. He kind of went full R, Tropic Thunder style, because when he had his seizures and Chloe was taking care of him, she was like, he couldn't do anything on his own.

And then a couple weeks later, she found him smoking crack and figured out that he had been pretending to be handicaps. That was the last one, yeah. That's what I texted T.C. I was like, all right, bro. He was like doing. Simple Jack. The last straw was, yeah.

She was trying to like, do you recognize your son? And then she found him a couple days later and he had MacGyver rigged up and purchased crack. And she's like, how did you figure this? And he had a phone. He was hiding his phone. And yeah, she's going to know, you know, sparing no expense, doing everything for him. Oh, man. You liked Chloe when she was a little chubbier.

I, yeah. She's very petite in this documentary. Their weight fluctuates in a way that makes me worried for them. But just remember, you know what I wanted to find? We have to have it somewhere. Mark Cuban being on the show soon after they acquired Lamar Odom. I was on the board. Y'all read a guy's night out.

Because Cuban was arguing. He called. Like, defending the move. I'm like, God, dude, you know this isn't going to work. What about the reality show? I thought there was one where he was just either in studio with us or just on bad radio. That may have happened to... We were talking about being on a reality show and that's a distraction.

He's like, ah! So wait, today's athlete is. It's all good. Yeah. He went way overboard trying to defend it. Can you imagine the crack that was smoked in the W? I'd never really thought about it, but yeah. That's where the sex swing was.

It was right across the street from the station. It was. apparently he was just in the bathroom there the whole time. Yeah, she's like one time he just hold himself up for three straight days in the bathroom. In the W across Macy. And they were like, sometimes he would leave for what I assume was basketball stuff. And he would come back a couple hours later and just get fucked up. And he would play high when he was here.

You know, you could tell. Go back and watch those games. Watch him like getting back on defense. Not the cocaine I know. Makes you try harder. Should we do the news? Sure. Should it be brought to us by...

Ownwell? Where they got going? I actually had a couple of family members tell me yesterday that they had signed up for Ownwell and save some money. Ownwell.com slash the dumb zone is how you can get in on that. They'll help you save money on your property taxes. They'll protest for you. That's a common theme with a lot of our advertisers is they're going to take this off your plate. The saving money part of it, they'll handle it.

ownwell.com slash the dumb zone. You only pay if they save you money. So do they go to the, uh, whatever courthouse for you? Signs. Yeah, they have big signs. All peaceful. Some are funny. All peaceful. Uh, sometimes they lay in the middle of the road for you.

Right. They do whatever they have to do. Glue. To get, they would glue themselves to the courthouse and say, until you bring Jake's property taxes down by 970. We shall remain here. Yeah. And we will take, we vow to take the least amount.

Like other places will do this, but they'll take like 50% of your savings. Not own well. I'm going to start. I'm going to start vowing. Like if someone asks me, hey, sales meeting 830 Wednesday, I vow to be there. This is an interesting one. I'll do a burglary two pack here. We had one in Dallas over the weekend.

ended in gunfire. Home break-in. A suspect shot while trying to enter a home in North Dallas. We had a Houston situation that was similar. The Houston situation, suspect tries to enter a home. Stuck in chimney. What? You can get in a home in a chimney?

Yeah, this was posted by, I think, like, the Houston Police Department. A home? Yeah. There's a guy in a neighborhood. I've always been under the impression it's actually really skinny. Yeah, it says... It's got to be an old house then. It looks like a pretty old house.

You know, 60s. 60s, 70s, not like crazy, crazy. That's pretty old. Yeah, I just mean it's not like a... I don't know. There's a chimney. Was the police department doing bits when they posted it? It doesn't look like it's...

We caught this, Santa Claus. God, man. South Lake would have been all over it. It said it made it about halfway through, got stuck. It's funny. This is a wild one. Four Texas teens. Del Valle, Del Valle, it's the valley.

It's the valley. Charge with aggravated kidnapping. They basically... Not just kidnapping. No, they were pissed peeve. All right. They... I mean, they lured a classmate to a home.

And whenever you say that. Yeah. Like what follows is. And then made him a four-course meal. No. Then they what, beat him? Yeah. Rugnett style or?

It does say that there was, oh, this is much closer. This is like southeast Austin. This is an urban area. Okay. Sorry for my racism and the title of the town. What was the title? Del Valley. Beat him with aluminum bats, a walking cane, a belt.

If it's wooden bats, is it different? Are you like, that's a purist? That's a guy. You don't want to hear the pang off his temple. What started this? It doesn't say. It says one of them was, I mean, I'll give you one guess for what the police say. Girl.

But who knows, right? It's not, there's nobody speaking on record about it. They say there's a video. Yeah, this is not that far outside of Austin. Would you rent that video? As a part of a compilation, for sure. I mean, that's all, right? It's all faces death and all that was.

I mean, everybody had the friend who worked at an independent video store or a friend of a friend of a friend. You knew how to get to it. it. So gore was accessible. Let's see here. I'm trying to decide which one of these I want to do. All right. The world's oldest living horse has turned 38. What would you guys have guessed? Well, I'm glad you're saying that.

We were just talking about this like a week ago. I know. Wasn't it like Secretariat died at the age of 19 or something? And we considered that pretty old. Like what's an old? Yeah. The oldest living horse was 38? Yeah. Been living on a retirement farm.

This has now been recognized. They have retirement farms? Yeah, for sure. I mean, they have like special needs, you know, because they're very old horses. I imagine they can't just get out and run around. They're all sleeping with each other. This one has, uh, this one has had the same owner for like 30 years. Like this little girl, I guess the girl is owner since she was a little girl.

So typical lifespan is about 25 to 30. What's her name? The horse? No. I'm just interested in any horse owner? I mean, he said she's... Page Bloomer. 38, the horse.

She's owner since she's a little girl. Yeah, no, I don't think you're going to be totally opposed. Yeah, horse owners are usually good looking. Wait, what? Don't you think? You ever see a lady riding a horse? I see it all the time. Yeah, I guess typically not much heft.

Yeah. There you go. Hmm. Outdoorsy, active? Yeah. Money. What if she lets the horse poop in front of your driveway? Hmm.

You let girls do a lot, dude. Right? It depends on, like, if it's some dude walking that horse, ladies can get away with a lot of stuff. In San Antonio, this is a big enough deal to make news. archaeologist, where does that fall on your level of respect for profession? Solo.

Yeah, everybody wanted to be one after Jurassic Park. But now, I mean, I see these stories all the time. Then one of the other... Yeah, you find something, and then what? Then you turn nine. Yeah. In this case, archaeologists down in the hill country feel pretty confident they found a cannonball

from the Alamo. So where... Yeah, who do they work for? No. No way. This was announced by the Alamo Trust. They worked for, yeah, a project. So out of nowhere, we just found one now.

I mean, you know. They're doing a lot of work down there trying to make the Alamo great again. Well, I mean, they were looking and found something. You got to be an optimist if you're an archaeologist, right? Big time. You got to be able to see, oh, yeah, that's a wheel. Who do you work for, though? God, that's a good question.

I just graduated. I'm an archaeologist. Where are you applying? I mean, universities, I think, are a big part of it, right? Because they're getting the research grants. Yeah. No, no, I don't think that in the next break, you and I will be doing a spot for the local archaeologist who's hiring.

I have very little knowledge of what their business model is, if that's what you're asking me. Do you have land as we can dig? Have you ever thought about what's underneath there? Do they all have the metal detector? Or is that, that's the... That's the... That's a seismicrower, baby.

Yeah, big time. And our final story, we're going to call this. This will be on Netflix soon. An American woman fell overboard during a trip to the Bahamas with her husband over the weekend. She went on one of those little dinghies. How do you say that word? Dingy. Dingy?

Dingy? I don't know. I feel like there's some level of... How do they say it there? Is that an American? Is that an English word? A dingy? Yeah.

What are you saying? Yeah, this is like a words with Dan thing. No, I'm saying where does that? You guys corrected me first, and I didn't not know how to say it. I'm saying how to... You've never heard people say dingy? Yeah, and I've never been confident they're saying it right. But what I'm saying is...

So you read it and you'll see dingy? Dingy? Dean. What is the origin of this word? What is the etymology of this word? Is it like... Is it like... The scripts?

What my point is, is this... this like a foreign word that we are pronouncing a certain way in English that is actually pronounced another way and you're acting incredulous about it. I thought it was just like a little, little guy, little dingy. Yeah, I don't, I don't, I was not in boat club. I don't know, you're in pools. You're in water adjacent, right? Puddle pools doesn't even know what dingy means.

A little boat. Yeah, I could say I've probably seen that. word five times in my life. It's a little boat, yeah. Well, I can tell you who's not in it, this lady. And her husband says that they had... Oh, damn. Dude, he paddled back without her.

Yeah, he did. I mean... It's the most quiet in peace he's had. I gotta be honest, I think I would avoid that as an excursion for this reason alone. Yeah. What? Dude, if you hit...

Let's have him perform live.

Al Michael's diet. And her Aunt Michelle, who she will one day run away to. Puka in rehab. Yeah. Everybody's doing it. It was first. No big deal. Whatever.

Keep cracking that hog, he says, from D.F. Buster. Good dude. Yeah. Yeah, Puka, it doesn't look like it's going well. Is he up for a deal now? No, but he's close. Is it the fifth year option yet? Yes.

Wait, was he even a first rounder? I thought this was year three. Okay, because I've seen things starting to talk about his. Yeah, I don't think he was. He's going into four. Second round? Yeah, no, way later than that. It's not that.

It's just... That means this is his last year, then? Yeah. He could get an... He's extension eligible. Of course, I guess he was last year, but he could get a deal. And many think will this year.

Hmm. All right, let's do the... Oh, we want to do today in history. We also want to promote Frankl and Frankel. They are our personal injury attorneys. If you get in an accident, we... What was the word you wanted to use? It's not implore.

We demand you. We, you just said it two minutes ago. Bally. Frikel and, what? A vow. Vow. I vow that they will take care of you. There you go.

I vow that they will fight their tails off to get you what you deserve from those greedy insurance schmucks. Call 214, all threes, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three. Frankl and Frankel, personal injury attorneys, if you are, you know, injured, if you are, you know, if you're dealing with the insurance companies, if you need to get what you deserve, they're better than anyone at that. So thank you, Frankel and Frankel. We have to do this here.

Fairlease.org presents on this day in history. Which is Monday, April 6th. Exactly two months from the DZGSE. On this day in 1909, explorers Robert Piri and Matthew A. Henson became the first men to reach the North Pole. Okay. Because Henson was black.

Whoops. His presence at this moment was not recognized until 1945 when he received a medal for outstanding service in the field of science from the U.S. government. That's incredible. boy I guess you shouldn't have been black bro is the main lesson here this is uh this is quite the

Wikipedia page for Matthew Hinson he uh he had a spouse looks like he met her when he was about 26 they were married for six years he had another wife 10 years later those are both listed in next the spouses and then he had one name name, that's a native name, a catengua, and it's listed in parentheses as concubine.

What does that mean? I think it means you're a slave. Does concubine mean that? Pretty much. Yeah. But I just don't know that I've ever seen the concubine honored with Wikipedia legitimacy, you know, he's a spouse, girlfriend maybe. Did he also have to race horses at the end of his career too?

because he couldn't get any money. He had to discover. Right. Yeah, just little things. Let's see if I can find. He had to discover this day in 1987. This one will work for us. This is the Dodgers Vice President Al Campanis.

Yeah. Like we've broken this down before. He was on Nightline. Now, Mr. Campan, as you certainly have to know. And they asked him a few things about that. Let's see. I truly believe that they may not have some of the necessities Black people to be a field manager or perhaps a general manager.

Yeah. And yeah, it was Ted Koppel, right? It was like, look, I'm going to give you a chance here to walk that back. And he was like, actually, I'm telling you. I don't care to do the break. He's like, have you ever talked to black people? Yeah, that's crazy. You want them in charge of something?

And they were doing it like kind of as a Jackie thing. It was a Jackie Robinson. It was the 40th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color line in Major League Baseball. Let's get, hey, let's get someone from that organization. The Dodgers. We'll get him on. Dude. And just mentioned, hey, Jackie is noting there's not a lot of black managers.

Why is that? Actually, it's nothing big. it's just that they can't do it. They're black. And then Ted Koppel's like, yeah, it kind of seems like that's what they were saying before about that they just couldn't play. And once given the opportunity.

Jackie Robinson himself was telling people, I feel like I'm being prevented from being a manager because I'm black. You don't want to read too much about how things went treatment-wise for Jackie Robinson post- the stuff you know about. Not good. Like making him get up and testify against, like, quote, communists, pony showing him.

Now well, whatever. Yeah. NFL's coming back at some point. There you go. Week 3 in Rio. I don't know. On this day in 1992, Nolan Ryan takes the mound for opening day for the Texas Rangers at the age of 45. Good grief, man.

Beginning his 26th, the major league season. Yeah, it's all peptides are. It's just... Nolan? It's just Nolan. Nolan Juice. Nolan dash 3. And it's Monday, it's April 6th, I should say.

This day in Dumb Zone history. You spent how long on the phone with Big Dick Hunter? They had to hold the next game's kick he was on so long. You beat the TV window. 3.15, yeah. On this day in 2020, you were on the phone for four hours. in 15 minutes with the credit card company. Oh, I kept it on hold and kept taking screenshots?

It was 2020. I had nothing else. That's a good point. Yeah, you like to be on the phone on April 5th. 2023, Jake has said this a lot. The thing we miss about a radio station is just the weirdos that we're surrounded with. Oh, yeah. And one of my favorite people up there, DJ Ringenberg, would have birthday parties for his dog. But I forgot this part.

They'd be themed. Oh, yeah. It was like Enkanto, or that's probably racist, but it was like some Disney movie. DJ had an Enkonto themed birthday party for his dog. Just the fact that it's a party and it's themed. That's insane. If you're going to do it, you don't want to do it cheapishly, right? Like you're already asking kind of a lot of buy-in from people, so you might as well.

His woman needs a baby. Let's get DJ a baby He's holding out as long as he can Baby And then in 2022 George was in studio For our Picks with Friends Punishment

He had to live in the studio For 48 hours God I remember just looking at his face Like it just looks so crazy That's a good bit Man speaking of I saw a

Oh sorry I'm not going to cut you off I'll just quick story Bit payoff there's like a lot of these guys out there we know one of them Michael Vegas Mike that are like life coaches or man coaches or you get to meet with them and they tell you how to be a man and stuff hitch so there's one of these guys that is somewhat adjacent to the group I play flag football with and he offers up his services it's like a thousand dollars a month and he posted a video over the weekend that was like comment such and such and the replies to book your free consultation and set up getting into my program.

And whoever lost their parley pool for March Madness had to comment on it and set up like a one-on-one. That's an excellent bet payoff. For like man coaching. Like, you don't want to do it, but you got to follow through with it. That sounds great. That sounds like I'd want to hear that audio. I know, right?

We should do that. But you got to pay $1,000 to do it. I think you might be able to get the console, but I just thought if you did have the money, a la Biden chairs, getting Blake onto, like, man coaching and rolling on it every week. This guy's, like, trying to crack him. Speaking of that, like, clavicular. Yeah.

That's not a life coach, right? But he's certainly... It's from the same era of, like, there was a stuff called, like, hookup artist, pickup artist. P-U-A. Mystery. Yeah, a whole culture of that. And that is where that man coach stuff came from.

I feel like you need to... He's just a lot younger. You're not giving us enough clavicular news. I think he is. I'm having... Well, he gave us it once. That's too much. This is why.

You think once is too much? Yes. I need to know, because somebody sent me that clavicular got choked out and passed out last week. He did over the weekend. It was pretty gnarly. Because he's on a lot of shit, dude. So when your body starts, you know, I don't think you should. be getting choked out period but when you're on like 20 different drugs i'm i'm just interested in

clavicular he was looking at jail time in florida for a he shot an alligator from a boat they posted that video okay um he got arrested but that wasn't because of that it was he was arrested because he was there kind of promoting when a girl came to beat up his girlfriend another influencer and they fought and he filmed it and when asked about it he was like i didn't i i i can't be violent i'm autistic I was like, I don't know that that's... I love it. That's great new. This is great stuff. Don't you want more of this?

It doesn't seem like he does. It's fine. The internet does. I think he's fascinating. Like with YouTube families, these daily streamer people, I can't stand up. That I don't get. I mean, people think we do a lot. Like Hassan, I'm a huge Hassan Piker fan, the political guy.

Eight hours a day, dude. Why don't you get out there and live life at some point? Of what? Politics? Yeah, I mean, it's politics, but they'll do, yeah. I mean, it's started out as video games, right? You're just playing video games for eight hours. I ShowSpeak, Kaisnett, just these people that are just singing online with hundreds of thousands of viewers and comment.

I don't get it. Clav's cleared a million a month, so. Yeah, I need less. You go with Clav? Way less. Can I call him Clav? Yeah. Who do you want to help program this show?

A guy who thinks like Impractal Jokers is funny Impractal Jokers and playing 42 is great whatever that is. Coming back. That's a good point, Dan. Oh.

He had interrupted you, right? Yeah, you got to... Okay. So you don't actually have a high... It's my favorite part of the show. It's my favorite part of the show now every day. You're like, you know what I'm going to save this one for last? It was, yeah, George in the studio.

I had another comment, but then... And his clav deal, I thought was good. We had some energy. Spencer Dinwiddie is 33. I was so ready to hear my drop this morning. But alas. Oh, on the ticket? Yeah.

You've been erased. I don't hear a lot of ticket. It's not because I hate the ticket. It's just I'm not in the car. Then when I am, I'm listening to Kanye, bro. I did have this one. Have you eaten any today? Yeah, I had about three slices today.

Yeah? Yeah. I might be lying, though. Can I get that napkin? Oh, yeah. This tiny, that's the tiniest napkin I could find you. I think you might be the, like, the winner, like the fastest to do it. Whoa.

Does Micah know about the trade? The K.P. trade? The Massachusetts trade of Porzengis. To who? Washington. For who? Denwitty. Who?

Spencer Denwitty. Why? No, don't fade it down right there. Why? Because I know that you're mad that you piped in there, but it's a part of it. Guess you should cut audio then. Randall Godfrey is 53. That's a former cowboy.

D-Line? Linebacker? Maybe, yeah. Yeah, I'm going linebacker. Burt Blylevin is 75. Sorry. So this got me to thinking, I don't think Bert Blylevin made the Hall of Fame right away, and I looked, and he's got a 94.5 war.

I was like, God damn, that's pretty good. How would you not make the Hall of Fame right away? And I knew, too, when growing up, hearing about Blyleu, and it was like, best curveball in baseball, like, that's what everybody knew about him. Best curve ball and baseball. Had a couple of no-hitters. Like, how could you not make the Hall of Fame right away? Then I went and looked, too.

This got me thinking about, I'm trying to remember because I was a kid, but I was like, I kind of liking him like Jack Morris. He also didn't get in the Hall of Fame right away. So I go look at Jack Morris, and he didn't. He got in by the Veterans Committee. He never had enough votes. And it just, I feel like this is what's wrong with the MAGA or somebody who says this used to be great. Like, I want to make it, I just remember things were so good.

Dan McDowell, it always sucked. You're not really remembering it because you look back. Jack Morris had like a 42 war. And he ends up in the Hall of Fame. Because of the Veterans Committee, olds are like, I remember that Jack Morris? He did have some bullet,

like he carried the twins through, they wrote him to a World Series. There's one World Series. I think he started game one, game three, and game, something like that. Like he just, he was the dominant for one,

he had some really good times, but just didn't put together a Hall of Fame career. But it comes to the olds who are like, yeah, but I remember, I think he was good.

Good. And then they vote him in. 96 is a lot, though. No. Blylevin is 94. The other guys, yeah. Jack Morris is like in the 40s. I'm pissed about Jack Morris being in the Hall of Fame. I can tell.

That's what today's show is about. Thomas Diamond is 43. Damn. That's crazy. That makes me feel extremely old. Danks, Volquez, Thomas Diamond. DVD, baby. K Adams is 40.

Dang. A lot of rumors, folks. Go on. KD? Just fucking name a name. And anybody you know who works in sports media will tell you. That she has had love with them? But, you know, whatever.

I don't. From Good Morning Football. I don't judge her for that. Which was always your favorite name for any sports show, right? It remains. I don't judge her for that, but I do judge her for largely being boring. And too thin? Yeah.

Yeah, that's a given. Oh, you know what I forgot to follow up on? I'm going to follow up on something right in the middle of birthdays. Because I mentioned we were going to have... I mentioned that what nickname did I say? Oh, Foodie CK is not the best nickname ever given out. This makes me so happy. I wrote this down at the start of the show.

Okay. And I was like, I wonder if you'll come back to it. I just remembered because it was when I signed off with Big Dick Hunter last night after a very long phone call. A fulfilling phone call as well. Sure. I'm not complaining about it. But I said to him, I go, you delivered the greatest nickname in all of history.

And he's the one who named Ty Walker, the inexplicably right-leaning Ty Walker. And I'm like, because at first you think that's a ridiculously long nickname. It can't fit on a bumper sticker. But then you say it over and over. And then what it means, too, is that you're right. this guy is voting for like that's he's primed to not be that but somehow he's growing up in this atmosphere where he's like I just I got it I'm I'm voting this way like he is inexplicably right

leaning there's no way to describe why it's also he would have found himself in that in that voting an incredibly condescending thing to say to somebody like you're not I mean I'm sure I do it right you You just don't get, you don't even understand yourself. I know. That's how dumb you are. And Ty would just have to sit there and take it. Introduced every night. The inexplicably right leaning.

But I'm just like, yeah. It's true. It's just, but, you know, Ty would probably tell you he's more of a, more of a centrist, folks. I don't just, I don't think of Ty Walker. It's like, oh, whatever. I don't care. Julie Ertz is 34. I think, I've heard she's a beating too.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. The wife of Zachurch. My brother was telling me a funny story about that. He don't work there anymore, so it's all good. But he used to work for the agency that reped Zach and, you know, and Julie, I think. And maybe this is just normal, but, like, he got traded and it's just expected that, like, you're going to get them a car and get them, like, find us a car. Find us a free car.

Like, a lot of his job was, like, finding accommodations for people that clearly could. take care of it themselves, but rely on the agency to do it because they can't. Candice Cameron Burray is 50. She was on Full House and she's married to Valerie Burray. Billy D. Williams is 89. John Ratsenberger from Cheers is 79. Zach Braff from that one overrated movie is 51. Garden State.

A few weeks ago. Was there a big call for this? No. Was there like... No, they started doing those T-Mobile commercials together, so everybody was like, oh, get to gang back together. How about no? And our Dumbzone birthday of the day is

dedicated to my wife. wife who really I couldn't live without and every breath I take. Whatever. Paul Rudd is 57. She's on her Mount F-R. Mount Farnmore. With Willie Geist and Steve Zahn. I don't know if she has a fourth.

She has it in the garage in front of the treadmill, which she walks on every night. So she, like, looks at Steve's on while she's walking. The carrot in front of the horse. Yeah. Weird American beauty. Yeah, there's a weird thing going on out there. One more mile on. on,

But he's very funny. He's in dirty work. Don Rickles is? He's an all-time classic of mine. He's the theater owner where they work. Okay. Yeah. He's in casino and probably other stuff.

He's a warm guy. Other things. So now we go to closing remarks. Of course, this is brought to us by Puddle Pools. because Chris and Patrick are owners of, well, puddle pools is kind of like Game Day, right? It's got franchises all around DFW. That's correct. What is your particular territory?

Because we're advertising for all of puddle pools here, right? So we manage the mid-cities. So we've got everything from Keller all the way down to Mansfield. So there's a team that's running Dallas. There's a team that's running Frisco proper, prosper. And then your guy's location up in South Lake and Grapevine. And we kind of got on with them. I think I've been working on this deal for about nine months now.

And you're talking about a man coach or whatever you were talking about. I actually have a mentor. that advises me on business and, you know, certain things. And she introduced me to the founder, Mark Amory, and told me about what they were doing. And it really kind of spoke to us because I had just recently moved back to the DFW area. My brother, Chris, has been in the pool industry for a while here in DFW, and we were always talking about how, you know, do you hate your pool guy?

your pool guy. You know, I don't know about my pool guy. I don't know how I feel about my pool guy. I don't know if he's doing what he's supposed to be doing. It's still dirty. All these kind of things. And when I started doing the diligence on this company and thinking about purchasing a franchise, you know, they were checking all the boxes, I guess you would say. But also just the way they go about doing their business was just, it was personable. It was friendly. It was up front, no strings. And the biggest thing that really got me was the technology side of everything because, and you guys have experienced this, you know, on your, on your end with your pools, because you guys went out and cleaned last week, right? Yeah. And the amount of detail that they

go into about how many chemicals, what chemicals are putting in your pool, what your deficiencies were, maybe have a little bit too much of this or whatever it is. And then, and then, and, And then the reporting that they give you, the, you know, the back and forth between your tech and the customer, I think, was just blew me away. Because I asked Chris if he'd ever seen anything like this. And he goes, we had like four different reporting systems or something and didn't even do half of what you guys do. And so I think that's what really impressed me about these guys. And just a great team of people that we've met. so far. Our other partners here in the DFW area are so excited. You know, and this is the best time to

get your pool cleaned. It's spring. I mean, everybody's getting ready to jump on the pool. I'm sure you guys did some of that this weekend. I've only had one cleaning done, so this is all I can speak to. But I will tell you that no BS. My wife came home and said, this is the cleanest our pool has ever been. And we had a guy. And it was about the same price. I thought he was doing an okay job. job, you know, but I don't know him at all. I mean, whatever, you know, it's, is this a guy. I'm sure he's a fine guy, but whatever you guys did, it definitely was noticeable, like, very noticeable. Well, I heard there's problems with your filter you didn't even know about it. We might have had a little bit of a Dan previous roofing company or whatever, because they had left

some stuff that was a real problem. They were just kind of ignoring. No, I saw your guy noticed it. I was at Jake's house too. Out of the spigot or whatever, you know. Shooting stuff back out into my pool. Yeah, it was shooting like the leaves back into the pool. So I was like, wait, we just vacuumed this out and now it shoots it right back in. So it was like obviously there was a hole in the system, but he took care of it. Your old guy did not notice that.

And these guys noticed it right away. Same thing. My wife usually does the cleaning and stuff. And she, so we, our other pool company, our old one, because we now signed up. with puddle pools. What? Dumbzone.com slash puddle pools. Are you guys aware?

Is that the website? I think that's on your end and we also have puddlepools.com slash dumbzone. Oh, you do? Yeah. Well, let's promote that one. That's the one we should promote. Okay. Puddlepools.com slash.

Dumbzone. Dumbzone. Okay. My bad. That's all good. I think I erroneously said that earlier then. That's way better. puddlepools.com slash dumbzone.

But yeah, she, our old pool company, would just kind of do the chemicals. And they'd be in out real quick. These guys brush down the wall, scrub down the wall, they get all the leaves out. I mean, it's like Jake said. It was perfect. And these guys opened to my pool. So we had the cover on. They helped take the cover off, folded up and stuff.

Just they did everything. It was great. Did they look hot? Did they look hot too when they were doing it? Was it? After a few times of me imploring them to take something else off? To take the shirt off, yeah. No, they're great.

Get a free estimate, right? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, just click the link on your site or go to puddlepools.com slash dumb zone. And even you can get, you'll either get me or Chris or one of our other. partners in the area. And one of the great things is if you contact us, we are known for hitting you back five to ten minutes after you contact us. We just, we want to make sure that you guys, yep, there's the page. We just want to make sure that you're getting the best service because Puddle says a clean pool is a healthy pool, but it's a picture of you. Yeah, look at that.

I know. Beautiful. But, but I mean, it is true. I mean, you don't want to worry about your pool being dirty and then I don't know how many times I had a guy come out and then my wife is like did they clean this week like they sit a picture at puddle yeah with that picture right afterward you get a you get a timestamp of when they showed up and what it looked like and when they left and what it looks like communication's key right you never want to guess around you know what communication just doing a little john gruden there no but i um i think i think these guys are doing a great job and um i mean chris is Chris, Chris knows his way around the pool, but I think even just what we found with this team and what they do for us and what they do for you guys especially.

And we're just not residential. We also do commercial. And so we just signed a property management company came to us last week and we just signed a package deal with them and got a whole bunch of rental houses like Airbnbs and stuff like that that have pools. and they wanted one team to manage, you know, their whole book. So we do that. Anything with a water feature, you know, if it's a business park, if it's a gym, you know. Oh, like that thing, Clayton turned off the water feature at the ballpark. Just put me on blast.

Well, it's statute of limitations is gone. We were at the little ball or at the ballpark, and outside there's a pond with like a thing, a fountain in the middle of it. and it was like a bit noisy for our broadcast, or Clayton thought so, so he went and unplugged it. You guys could have serviced that. If the Rangers want to call us, you know.

Yeah. But that's what you mean? That's a water feature. Anything that has water and needs to be cleaned. The Soroy water feature? Boy, what? I was going to mention that. We could have.

That thing needs to be cleaned. What a bold claim, though, anything with water that needs to be clean. Preferably outside. Call their bluff. That runs on a motor? Right, a bump. Puddlepools.com slash...

Dumbzone. You're saying it's slash dumbzone, not the... It's slash dumb zone. I'm going to see if that's true. We were told... It's true. Maybe you checked it up. He did?

Yeah. Yeah, that's what this is. There we go. I think there's also going to be a QR code on your website. Let's do a tagline. Let's go swimming. women or something with puddle pools. Come on, Blake. Look at that.

We put the pee in pools at puddle pool. You guys both longtime ticket listeners and stuff? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I think, I think either 97 or 98, when did you get there, Dan? 99. 99. Okay, that's probably about when I started listening.

Things really got good. Yeah, well, obviously. So they say. But I was never there for the Rocco era, so that doesn't mean. anything to me but uh the new to three show was my that was my go-to-the-day-jake was like the wake and jake was like definitely that that you were my guys and so yeah we uh what a perfect name for the guy our little pothead uh producer at the time no but you know what i will have to say dan i i need to apologize you for something because um for years uh i was really really upset with you and

mad at you. But then my wife told me that I have a condition. And I don't know if you have ever heard of mesophonia. Go on. Is this a bit? Are you joking around? She says I have it. Okay. Okay. It is a chronic condition characterized by intense emotional and physical reactions, including anger, rage and panic to specific, often quiet, repetitive sounds like chewing, sniffing or tapping. And every time you would have a mouth full of food on the radio, I would just throw, I would go into crazy fits and throw things. And my wife goes, I think you have this condition.

And so I guess I'm a victim now. You're raising awareness. And now after having met you, you know, you seem like you're normal, except for our awkward handshake. Well, we bowed before the show. No, no, no. I bowed. Chris is a big listener, so you knew let's bow.

Yep. You're the first guy that's ever bowed to me. Well, Jake, Jake texted me the other day and said, hey, the Dan handshake thing is real. That's right. Just kind of don't touch him. Figure it out. Respect boundaries. Yeah.

And your last name is Reeves. Correct. And your name is Christopher Reeves. Yes. Okay. My parents had no idea who the biggest action star in 1987 was when I was born. 1981 but that was the movie well when i was born we'll be on superman three by that time yeah so he's well known of course not to my parents except for two people in the world yep that's awesome

your parents never knew that christopher reeves you guys grew up like more men or anything and they and his favorite comic book growing up was Superman his friends all called him Superman from the day of been born and my parents were like now why are they doing that You know? And we're like, really? Really? And yeah, so his whole life he's been Superman. Like, Avatar Superman, like his frat brothers all called him Superman.

And then like... They never switched to Handyman? No. Well, actually... Have you seen Handyman? No. You haven't seen it's a parody of Superman. Is that Damon Wayans?

It's Damon Wayne. Oh, it's from In Living Color? Did a handicapped slash retarded Superman hero was Handyman. Hero was Handyman and he would... Do the voice. Do the voice. Do the voice. That's incredible. No, when I... Honeyman. When I rushed, they actually did call me wheelchair for a bit.

So they were right in line with that. But yeah, my parents had no idea. They wanted to name me Nigel was the other name. I'm really happy they went with Christopher. Yeah. We got my ass kicked. And you on purpose go Chris? Or did you want to be Christopher? I like Chris. I've always just been Chris. I'm definitely Patrick.

because when I was in high school, my senior year, Patty? That, there's only two people that call me Patty, and Danny Bayless is one of them. Yep. But the, the, uh, that sketch on Saturday Night Live with Pat was when I was in high school. Oh. And I was always having people like, I don't know if I'm a guy or a girl or like whatever. And that's part of the time you were wondering, too.

I still am. Which way should I do? So when I went to college, president, when I went to college, it became Patrick. I was like, I'm Patrick. Now they just give you everything. Yeah, you get a scholarship of Richard. You want another name thing? Our middle brother, his name is Nicholas George Reeves and his initials are NGR.
