Starting point is 00:02:08 I'm from the Game Day Men's Health Studio in downtown Dallas. EA Fox 4, Channel 27. I'm Jake Ken. I'm Blake Jones. My name is Michael Sororough. Wow. Good timing. I figured it after Blake.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Love it. Also joining us, we have Foodie CK. and my friend of the dirt Mason Brickledew What's going on, boys? Hell yeah. Quite the squad. Quite the squad.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Joining us from getting steps right now, live, somewhere in Appalachia. It's Big Mac. Dan McDowd, do you read me over? As you can see, do you read me? Yes. I'm an audio listener. applaud for me.
Starting point is 00:03:04 As you can see, they call it big sky country out here. Ohio. Look at that. A lot of blue. I think you have the blurred background setting on. Yeah, what are you trying to hide out there? It's ruining our experience. Oh, it's a bird.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Do I have that? Do I set that? Yeah. Or just Clayton said it. Uh-oh. Clayton's matter of me now. Let's just move on. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:03:27 You had hitting a little chappy kettlebell workout or what do we got going? Yeah, we're getting little steps, you know. Respect. Got to keep it coming. I had the breakfast of champions today. Taco Bell. Oh, yeah, I talked to Dan earlier, and he was hitting a Taka TB. He was making a border run.
Starting point is 00:03:44 That actually makes me sad. Why? Because we had eras where we lived on Taco Bell, and now he's getting into it when we're out of it. It's a road trip. Yeah, bro. And at home. Sometimes a home trip as well. I do like Taco Bell.
Starting point is 00:04:01 you need to get cleaned out. What does that mean? Don't play coy with me. Man, you know what you were doing. Speaking of that. Couldn't poo poo on the road and went to Taco Bell. So when do you think you'll be back in your car? What's your status right now?
Starting point is 00:04:20 Pretty soon why. You want me in my car? No, no. I just didn't, you know, I don't know how if it changes for you, if you're walking or if you're in the car or how you'd like to just kind of hang out. I have some notes on my phone I wanted to be able to reference, so I thought it would be good to do weekend check, not in the car. Okay. Then I will hop back in the car and head up to clear. I'm in a city now called New Philadelphia.
Starting point is 00:04:43 No way. Those creative folks in Ohio. There's a New Philadelphia. Are like, what can we name this? I don't know. That's absolutely brutal. Like everything's already been named. Let's just pick one of the cities and we'll, we'll,
Starting point is 00:04:59 name it, then knew that. I have a lot of respect for, uh, for Philadelphia as a, you know, a bit of a dirt bag myself, but that'd be like I'm opening the world's greatest pizza restaurant. You called it New Little Caesars. Like it doesn't have the greatest reputation. All people got pissed at Philadelphia and that's as far as they made it. Yeah. Ohio. Ah, fuck it. High school football mascot, the Quakers. Ah, perfect. New Philadelphia Quakers. This is the scummy Quakers. Those were the reject Quakers. They didn't like the Cone of the Ghib.
Starting point is 00:05:33 We're the good Quakers over here. So my friend Brick is here. He's going to hang out for the show. He's our nominal sit-in for the day. He'll maybe chip in on the weekend check. But let's start with myself and Mike Soroy sort of tag teaming here. Because last night, I went to a birthday party, Dan. Now, does the weekend check have a sponsor?
Starting point is 00:05:55 Or am I? out of line I just feel like sure it's early but I was going to kind of play it by the time but it's fine yes it does stick it in there
Starting point is 00:06:09 kind of shove it in let me tell you something that's what Ownwell does to the man they own well takes the man out back and says listen we're here to fight for the people they're going to protest your property taxes for you you set it up it just takes a couple
Starting point is 00:06:25 of minutes online we've all done this they've save me money. This year, I protested my property taxes while laying next to the pool drinking a daffery. You had me ship you those little umbrellas just because you're saving so much money. Onwell can't be that easy guys. It really is that easy. Everyone can attest to this. You don't even have to like sign up again. They just keep you signed up. And then the next year they're like, hey, here's what we saved you. For me, it's worked a couple years in a row. We've had a ton of listeners, same sort of situation. You only pay if they save you money and the amount that you pay is less than the rest of
Starting point is 00:06:58 the industry standard. Ownwell.com slash the dumb zone so that you can bend over the property people. Ownwell.com slash the dumb zone. Ownwell. So we went to the Rollertown Beer Works Brewery last night for Mike Soroy's birthday party. Thank you for attending. Nice. Yeah. Good vibes. Great vibes. How old?
Starting point is 00:07:31 Well, my birthday is the 24th of this month, and I'm going to be 50 years old. Oh, it's your birthday month. Exactly. It's birthday month. You hate it? No, not really. Actually, Dan and I just did a whole, like, Patreon podcast about turning 50 and your thoughts. No, no, it's all good. No, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:49 What you do is you promote that. Yeah. Yeah. So you want to hear more of this gold for just five bucks a month. Yeah. No, I don't. I don't hate it, but it's weird. It's a weird one, you know. It's one of those odometer turns that I think you certainly respect and see on the horizon. And then there she goes. But, no, I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:08:06 I feel pretty normal. Numbers are for. Danny said it's the last birthday anyone will ever care about, right? Like in a hundred. Well, we ain't got to worry about that one, I don't think. The last one. Yeah, yeah. The very last one.
Starting point is 00:08:23 You guys know that if we're around when Dan turned 69, that. You might have to get a book the AAC. Balloon arch. Well, I don't care. To me, yeah, I didn't go because it was your 50th. I went because we have a decent babysitter situation, and I like hanging out with that group of people. Great group of people.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Benin skin, I mean, that brewery's insane, dude. I'm not necessarily in the visiting brewery game as much anymore, but, I mean, you know, you take your kids to stuff like that. It's giant. they've got an inside area, outside area. And the bands were set up to play outside or planned to play outside because of the weather that had to get nixed. I felt like they could have done it inside. I know Christina, your lovely lady, was bummed because her band was playing for your birthday.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Yeah, they were, we had a radio head tribute. Yeah, I know. Damn it. Yeah, they had to cancel it. So it's just like use sports, huh? The possibility of lightning is like, oh, no, we can't do it. Well, it did suck all night. I mean, they had no business outside.
Starting point is 00:09:28 They couldn't have done that. Yeah, it got bad. It got bad. But also there's like, you're holding all that electricity. I think that probably doesn't help. Dude, I was on the freeway, I was on the freeway driving home last night in like full, no volume, wife, just no talk. I'm tending to torrential, you know? And you're having to, you're on the.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Anchor word. Torrential downpour? Yeah. For sure. Yeah. This is an edge case. What do you think about infested? No.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Okay. Shark infested waters was the one that I heard. You couldn't. But no, just being on the freeway last night that high up there, I'm like, yo, I don't know. This doesn't feel when you hit a big turnpike overpass? Gay-N-Ogay. Cash left before me and it called me when he got home to let me know how dangerous the drive was. text me once and then call and I'm like holy shit
Starting point is 00:10:26 well that's because if he feels something you feel it so if he would have wrecked you would have just going flying off the couch at the bar I mean you know I'm going to say it's fine but that's okay but if he's like hey text me to make sure so I know you got home saying okay he didn't say that's where I thought you were going he didn't say that but I did text him made it you know like made it that's gay that's gay that's gay That's gay.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Okay, yeah. I'm guilty. But I said, you know, made it. Thanks for coming out. Whatever. Yeah. Yeah, but it was a good time. So, thanks for having us there.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Like I said, I know Christina was bummed. Christina's obsessed with your wife. They hit it off quite well. Yeah. I mean, I get to see you a family. Yeah. Kristen's awesome. No, because they're both like actually good people.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Like, but in a way that's not annoying. I wanted, I really wanted to be there. but when I got the invite from Christina three weeks ago, I hastily planned a trip so I wouldn't have to go. Right. Just. So. Well,
Starting point is 00:11:30 it would have been lovely to see you, but thank you for coming, Jake. It was fun, man. So did you do any, do you have, what does the rest of a Mike Soroy weekend look like?
Starting point is 00:11:37 I don't even remember. Saturday I did nothing. I watched the call. That's what, that's a Mike Soroy weekend. Hell yeah. I don't remember. But not even like even that.
Starting point is 00:11:45 I think because, oh, you know what? I got a new car. Oh, nice. Okay, yeah. Not even a gay, not gay, but is it odd that Cash, my brother, and me got new cars on the exact same day, completely unrelated.
Starting point is 00:12:03 There's just no way that it's unrelated. You're both together all the time. We're not together as much as you probably think. I mean, it would be like if I got a new car the same day as Dan, then neither one of us knew that would be weird. Yeah, it didn't come up. You guys, you work together to an extent. But it just, I'm telling you, very unrelated. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:22 He got a car because he has a nicer car. You know, he's an upgrade man. His car was in Little Rock. He had to go get it and drive it back. And he did that on Saturday. And I got mine. They delivered it on Saturday. I mean, very unrelated, but pretty awesome.
Starting point is 00:12:38 And then they give you the tags, right? Obviously, I don't get special tags. Cash does have vanity plates written all over him. Yeah. He has a company. Yeah, it was the well. I actually don't think he has one now, but I got my random ass tags. You know, you're rolling the dice.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Like, what are we going to get? I got X, Y, Z. Oh, shit. Which I'm like, oh, yeah. That's a very appealing number. You need something smooth. Yeah. In some capacity, it needs to be like two, four, six or so.
Starting point is 00:13:05 I need something like that. No cop is going to believe you, though. What's your plate number? Uh, X, Y, Z. I don't know if I've ever in my life memorized a plate that I've had, and I already got this one down. That's pretty good. Which is pretty nice.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Do you, I bet you, the person. The personalized license plate game is big in the ranching industry. Yeah, everyone does their ranch. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Get the brand. Yeah. On a plate, it just says five lazies.
Starting point is 00:13:32 So it didn't really play too well. I think I told you this for my buddy when the Arizona Diamondbacks first got their franchise. I live in Arizona and he was so excited. Super baseball guy. And he wanted a vanity plate. And he's like, I can be one of the first. I get locked in. Like the team doesn't exist.
Starting point is 00:13:45 They just announced it's going to be the Diamondbacks. So he got, I think I've told you this. He got D-M-N-D-B-X, which everyone reads his demand box. I'm like, yeah, yeah. You pull up. You pull up. The whole alphabet at your disposal, and he fucked it up. That's excellent.
Starting point is 00:14:08 So, yeah, it's got a new car. That's my weekend, Shag. Okay. Yeah. I watched the kids solo Saturday night because we needed to have the babysitter for the Mike Soroy, Birthday Pass, Sunday night. And, you know, you have these moments. I think Blake has brought it up.
Starting point is 00:14:25 It's different maybe with a son. More bonding type. It feels more natural, perhaps. Because you can see yourself doing a lot of these things. For sure. You know, now when my daughter wanted her easy bake oven, I'm like, well, dad had a phase. Oh, yeah?
Starting point is 00:14:41 But in general, it's a little bit easier with your son. And, you know, it's, you know, maybe you're throwing a baseball. Maybe you're dunking the little basketball. Well, this weekend, it was I ordered delivery, a triple dipper. And I introduced my son to the greatness of the trio of appetizers that you can choose from at Chili's. And we just sat in bed. Dang, dude. What a day.
Starting point is 00:15:09 What a life. What do you go with? We still have southwestern egg rolls? I'm a cheese stick chicken slider. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you're sleeping. I'm going to give you a six out of ten on that one. Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:15:23 They also have obviously like different versions now. I don't. These are not like egg rolls. Yeah, they're not. They're different. Tenders. They were, yeah, they've got like a crispy tender now that was fire. It was actually really good.
Starting point is 00:15:36 No. Chili's his back. It's so bad. I got so mad at them over the skill at Koso because it was pre-planned from the very beginning. Yeah. And don't tell me about your inside information, Clayton. It's bullsh. That was me, I think.
Starting point is 00:15:48 I think it was also. I was the Chili's insider. Whatever. They knew what they were doing. It seemed like you were Blaine. I ordered the skill of Koso. Now, it's always different. You're at home.
Starting point is 00:16:00 It's not in the skill. They still have the woke Koso. Yeah. But they also have the old one. Who's getting that? I really don't know. I feel like they have to keep it on there to not admit failure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Like the new one you mean? The new. There's a, yeah, there is a new one on there, right? But you can still get the old ones. So just enjoying that with family. It's like when you see your kid have a bite of a mozzarella steak for the first time, because you're like, damn, that, you got a whole. When you see your kid.
Starting point is 00:16:32 You have a lot of that in front of you if I'm clocking your life, anything to be like mine. Like greatest single bites of food on planet Earth underrated is the perfect mozzarella stick. Like per per receptor in your mouth. Yeah, like not. Many people would claim that as their favorite food. You don't hear that too often. But fuck off. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:52 As far as a sprint. It's pretty hard to have a bad cheese stick, too. So good. Really hard. What you're missing out with the kid, they don't know what's inside of the mozzarella stick. So you got to tell me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Oh, like, wait, just wait? Well, because they're going to look at the outside and think, what the hell is this? What this brown flaky meat? Then you get the kerfuffle of it, not detaching and going everywhere. Yes. You're zip it in ranch. Mike get a little oil cocky, like a little scort on you. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:17 Piping hot. Just hot for a second, though. Yeah. I saw someone tweet this or something like, you would never, like, sit down and eat seven, uh, just string cheeses out of your fridge, but fucking line them up and fry them. Yeah. And I'm not stopping. Uh-oh. Yeah, Clayton might.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Yeah, no, I mean, it's essentially, if you think about a tortilla chip, you wouldn't just, you wouldn't just eat that many tortillas. Right. It's an insane amount of tortillas. Uh, all right. What do you got, Blake? Let's see. We had a few extra days on our weekend check. So Thursday, I saw our good buddy who I follow now on Instagram, Jordan Lucas, the zesty volleyball player who's been on the show. They met up.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Your water nemesis? Yeah. We're working past that. He said he was coming to Dallas on Thursday because the final four in professional volleyball was coming to Frisco. Nice. And I took the family. Whoa. Oh. You saw the Dallas Blitz?
Starting point is 00:18:19 The Dallas Pulse. We did not see the Dallas Pulse Because here I am new to the volleyball game. I already have a complaint. The final four, you got two games. The first one starts at six, and it goes for three hours. What?
Starting point is 00:18:33 I'm not stick around for a 905 start for a volleyball game. Seriously went three hours? They went five games. No, that's untenable. To 21? 25. Oh, fuck. Win by two.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Of course, you know that. Did you see our guys? play? No, he wasn't playing. So this is professional women's volleyball. Yeah, Chris Mikoski does. Right. Yeah, I've thought about taking the girl out there. It was awesome. It was really, really cool. Three hours is insane, though, dude. What are we talking about? You know what? That's probably why it lags behind the NFL. Yeah. That only. Yeah, they need a rally clock or something to speed it up.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Right. No, but it was great. But like I said, yeah, at the Comerica Center where the Stars practice in the the legend, the Mavs minor league team plays, or G league. Yeah, no, it was great. It's a lot, yeah, like I said, a lot of volleyball, five games. I did see Jordan. I did awkwardly approach him and say, hey, you did a podcast with us. Thanks so much. My name is Blake.
Starting point is 00:19:34 And he said, oh, the Dumb Zone. Okay. Nice. Nice. Yeah, you remembered. And then, yeah, Mikeoski caught up with him a little bit later and said, thanks for joining the Dumb Zone. But it was cool.
Starting point is 00:19:45 The Dallas Pulse did win on Saturday. So we have a... Champs. Yeah. They won a million bucks. Damn. Really? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:19:54 That was the grand prize. And we give our quarterback 60. How many players are on a volleyball team? Well, it's six on the cord. I think there's like 12 or 15. Very animated bench. A lot of high fives. No matter of what happens.
Starting point is 00:20:11 They've got bits. So if they spike it, they get the kill. my kids' favorite move, they'd have three of the players dive on the court. What is this thing? We've been through this, dude. What is it?
Starting point is 00:20:23 It literally means murdering my ops with a pistol. I was going to say, with a switch. If you want to get to like the source of what you need of this stuff, it means spray your ops with artillery weapons and murder them dead.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Slime questions or any sort of... Ask them about the CD thing. Anything you've got, if you want to know the actual answer, the root. This will get you. Okay, so for our audio listeners, I'm covering my face with one hand, and on the other I'm making like a, what is this?
Starting point is 00:20:53 It literally means murder everyone. Well, you're waving back and forth. Like a fish hand kind of. Spraying everybody. Spraying the room. But you can't do that. Right. So that's the weapons.
Starting point is 00:21:05 This is it. I'm spraying like contra. Brilliant. They would dive on the court and then have another player pull them back by their feet while they were doing this at the other team. Yeah, get back in the trenches. You know, you know. Man, I...
Starting point is 00:21:16 After every point, they had a bit. It was great. I think I love it. I do, too. I think I love it. I know Dan experienced something, because like, if you've... As I will, you know, you flip on a little college softball, the teams, they have an insane amount of bits. Like, every single batter that's up, there's some sort of thing go.
Starting point is 00:21:35 And it's kind of awesome. Yeah. It's kind of awesome. Special chance. Yeah. So, yeah, you can see behind me my gold medal for calling a... women's high school or girls high school basketball went to the Dallas Pulse event over the weekend. I'm also a big Dallas Wings fan because their season started over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Again? Yeah, the spring season started. The Wings took down the fever on opening day. Wow. Apparently, Caitlin Clark is dealing with an injury. She missed a lot of last year. I saw she walked out with Morgan Wallen like at his concert over the weekend. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:13 I want to do that. Yeah, I bet you do. I don't want to walk out with Morgan Wall. That's insane. She should be in the gym. Was that the N-word guy? Yeah. Two-time.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Making out during COVID guy. Yeah. Going chairs. I thought Dan was talking about me for a second. No, you're not. Where was that? Was that A-C or no. No, no.
Starting point is 00:22:35 It was in Indiana. Oh, I thought you said you went. No, no, just watch. I'm now a fan. I'm a big Dallas Wings fan. He supports swimming. So AZ Fudd, the 1-1, didn't start. I mean, that happened sometimes.
Starting point is 00:22:50 No, it doesn't. Actually, it doesn't. She scored three points. She hit a three early in the first half, and that was it. The lowest scoring debut for the first overall pick in the WMBA in the last 20 years. Locker room politics. But yeah, no, no, go ahead. Girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Let's just pick her. That's not why they picked her. That's not why they picked her. Oh, yeah. Olivia Miles, who they should have picked her. From TCU. Drop 21 and 8 in her first game. She got to start.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Okay. positional redundancy. Yeah, no, this is probably not going to, it's not going to look good if this doesn't go well. Well, they're one and no. Wait, positional redundancy, does that mean they drafted, they did not draft best player available? Yeah, you know, I mean, this happens all the time, right? Ask Vladi and the Kings about Luca and Deere and Fox. There was another team in Dallas who had Luca and Kyrie, and it was awesome because it worked.
Starting point is 00:23:41 But no, no, I guess you just need one ball handoff. Do you know what I was thinking about over the weekend that's even crazy? because Luca is hurt. And that's why I'm not really watching the NBA. It sucks because he's going to be hurt a lot. And I actually think that in some ways it's going to be a self-fulfilling thing. Like getting traded, I think he's going to make him in the end probably hurt more than if he would have stayed in Dallas because I think he'll care less on and on. But what's crazy is at one time, the Mavs actually had Luca Donchich and Jalen Brunson.
Starting point is 00:24:11 They actually drafted both of them in the exact same draft class. So if you were worried about the durability of a player like Luca, boy, what would you do? I mean, it's crazy. Like, how could you ever, what if you could also draft like an all-NBA other guard in the second round of the same year? Certainly, you would five titles? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Certainly a couple. You must have got a haul for those two guys. Yeah, right? Certainly. It is insane to watch the playoffs. And it's like, well, this is defined by that guy not being there. and that guy being there. Okay, where did they start their careers?
Starting point is 00:24:48 Certainly the whole city doesn't hate you after those moves. I had to pitch over the weekend. Yeah? We're in the playoffs. Got to win, got a playoff win, so we play again. Do you know about this? I don't think so. Softball or baseball?
Starting point is 00:25:05 So I've got a nephew who's seven, plays in eight and under baseball in Wiley. And their team didn't have a deal. dad or a coach that could pitch. You hear this? This is why I do what I do. Stay ready. So they asked Uncle Blake if I could throw a little.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Yeah. Sure. I got you. If I get in there, I just freaking group it. Like, well, I mean, I can throw a lot. I got it. I got it. Where do you want it, Bob?
Starting point is 00:25:33 You want it high? You want low? I mean, listen, if they made a nature show about our society, this is Blake just moving in and exhibiting dominance. Alpha dominance over the law. over the males in this group. I was watching a Maddox clip the other night. So are you like the Maddox of the dad's there?
Starting point is 00:25:52 You can locate it wherever exactly you want it. Buddy, Oliver likes it high, Holden likes it low because he's got an uppercut swing. Robert steps out, so I got to put it on the inside. Asher likes to go to right field. Dude, I've got the report on all these kids. When Blake's pitching, take the over. Yeah, hammer the over. Dude, we've been driving it.
Starting point is 00:26:12 We had three home runs. Put up 12 runs against the blue hens. No, we did fantastic. But when I run for mayor of Wiley or park commissioner, whatever, here's my rule. It's unpopular. No kid pitch until high school. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Okay. I see the other fields. The kids are 12. They're in middle school. They can't find the damn strike zone. I know. No one's having a good time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:37 They're not hitting. They're not pitching. They're not fielding. They're not running the bases. We're not doing anything relevant to baseball. because you want Braden to throw 75 pitches at 2.30 on a Saturday. It's too young. Yeah, I ran into.
Starting point is 00:26:53 And if you want to do your travel ball circuit and pitch and throw your arm out, throwing curve balls, have at it. In the city leagues, we're going to get things done. We're going to have dad's pitch until your high school. Now, don't they ban curve balls at a certain age or something? No? They're still chunking them down. They can tell you, hey, none of the silly stuff.
Starting point is 00:27:09 You're going to do it. You're going to get funky if you're on that mound. Yeah, you're trying anything. You're feeling it. Yeah. I'd like to see them try and ban my full shamer. Dad's showing up with Pitching Ninja overlays. Like spot the release point difference.
Starting point is 00:27:25 And so then I mean, dude, but imagine what are you going to do? You're going to have a 13-year-old out there with his dad next to him? I don't care. Like, I want the kids to hit. But I do know what you mean because I'm at a baseball field every weekend now for blast ball. But it's at the same time as grown up, not grown up, but, you know, big kids. kid baseball. Go watch the 10 and 12. I know I see it dude. It's brutal. Go watch it. It's brutal. And then a friend of mine, I ran into a friend of mine from high school and I don't know exactly what
Starting point is 00:27:53 happened. But I was like, oh yeah, old your kids are like 11. He's not playing a day. He's still recovering from a UCL tear. Jesus. And they're like a baseball family. So I assume the kid just, he's probably just a hoss. Not good. They're like, yeah, he's still working off a tea. I've told you it's not woke, but it's just like the era we're in now. Every kid has a walk-up song. They're seven. Okay. So this. is interesting. We got asked this this weekend. We were told the other team they
Starting point is 00:28:19 bring a DJ. Jesus. What are we doing? I was like I don't, three year olds, bud. Oh, this for Carter? Three and four year olds. Yeah. For blast ball. So they send to the group chat, reply with your kid's song.
Starting point is 00:28:35 And at that point, it's like, no, I don't want to, but if everyone else is, and then he's the only one, somebody replies, the Paul Patrol theme, I'm like, if he hears that, he's Whoa. Yeah. Yes. So we gave a song.
Starting point is 00:28:48 And fortunately, we did Danny Go. Give me that garbage, which is funny. Walk Pantera. But fortunately, it didn't, like, it didn't work really for anybody. Like, they were just kind of playing, you know, take me out to the, whatever. It didn't get into the play. But I'm like, why would you do something that just introduces conflict? What if one kid hears another song?
Starting point is 00:29:11 And he's like, why I wanted that song? Why wanted this? Just know across the board. No. And then nobody can get pissed. We're doing it. And so I'm in the backyard about to throw to my kid, my four-year-old. He's like, get out, I get the ball, he's got his bat.
Starting point is 00:29:26 He said, Dad, play my song. In the yard? So what do you mean? Cooked. This is why Hillary lost. He said, yeah, the other kids have songs when they go to bat. We're cooked. All right, dude.
Starting point is 00:29:37 This is all Bryce Harper's fault. Remember a few years ago he's complaining they had to get the youth involved? I actually love it. I don't know why I've played it. Baseball's over-accessorized and theme song. I'll take it. I got a couple more things. First, we did hit the 700 reviews,
Starting point is 00:29:52 which is what I asked for last Monday on the NBR. So a donation has been made to the food bank. If you, the type of person that needs a receipt, check my Twitter. If not, just thanks for doing that. And then final thing, let me preface by saying, I know I'm a bad person.
Starting point is 00:30:06 You don't have to tell me. A lot of bad bits on Mother's Day. seem like a lot of husbands in trouble went to Facebook wishing their wives the best mother ever yeah we get it uh my question for today though and for you four gentlemen where are we on moms of adopted kids like obligation to contact them and a hot scale or yeah on the internet here's the context so uh may or may not have a family member who just adopted a kid huge congratulations. IVF didn't work for him.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Super sad bit, ordeal. They've had the kid for a couple weeks and already wishing her happy Mother's Day. Yes. And from where I'm at, I don't think you've earned it yet. That yes was a little quick. No, yes, you should.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Who gives us shit, number one? Number two, they're probably... What in two weeks has she done? I'll tell you what she's done, Dan. I mean, theoretically, like, I wanted to be in the NFL, but nobody's like, congrats on your career. Hey, Dan, how's this? They've had the kid for two weeks.
Starting point is 00:31:10 they've already had a date night. Gotta get a sitter. Like you had, you had years and years of this. You've had the kid for eight days and you need a parent's night out. Are you serious? It was born a month ago.
Starting point is 00:31:25 I, yeah, I mean, you know, it'd be funny. So it'd be funny if the kid was like 13. She suffered through nine months of paperwork. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:34 I mean, no, it is a big process, but it's not really congruent with happy Mother's Day, right? It's more, Happy administrative assistance day so far.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Congrats on that last move you made. Right. I think at some point she could say that, but not, I think you got to earn it. I thought we're not there yet. I thought you were going to complain about the fur, if you're a mom of a fur baby. Well, we already know that. Oh, man, yeah. That feels like when I see roast twin generation,
Starting point is 00:32:10 people come after my generation, it's the fur baby that's the millennial like treating their dog like a person. No, I support them. I'm a stay-at-home dog dad myself. Yeah. I actually saw something at the pet store this weekend. See if you can throw that up, Clayton, that made me think of definitely Brick, who has an Instagram account, Dan, for his dog.
Starting point is 00:32:36 I lost the password. But yeah, it does exist. That's awesome. Yeah. It came in handy a few months back. And what's better than people who say that they have fur babies than weed culture? And I was buying dog food over the weekend and there's like a big joint, like a dog joint. That's egregious.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Dogawana. And it's like a fake, just got catnip in it for dogs to make them like kind of high and then a donut. Because you know when you're high, you eat. Yeah. This type of shit will never open the straight of hermoo's. this shit going. We've gone too far as a society. We need to go backwards.
Starting point is 00:33:16 It's got want to nip in it. So, Blake, I think two weeks is nowhere near enough. I didn't think so either. I just sat there, like, getting a little upset. You're just... It's starting to simmer and boil. I don't know yet.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Are you saying to send a text? Like, you didn't have to go to an event, right? This is just... Or for you to sit at home and acknowledge that she could also have... It came up on my phone. Like, not a... It's no, no, not yet.
Starting point is 00:33:43 One day, one day soon. One day soon, sure. But, yeah, you've already had a date night. You don't need to wish yourself. At least go through a colic or something with the baby, right? I would like to direct you to something that I wish I knew more about whenever my children were young. And that is game day men's health. Gameday.com.
Starting point is 00:34:03 That's ticeroon hot a day. That is what you need. That cicerone level checked. They got 12 locations. You're probably close to. one right now. And you go in there, you get blood test. You may actually not be close to one of those 12 locations, but I bet you are closer to a game day than you think. Oh, that's right. They are nationwide. They're all over the nation. We've had people like in Denver or in Austin, they go
Starting point is 00:34:27 into their game day and they're like, hey, the dumb zone sent me. Do I get my 10% off? Yeah. And they'll say yes. So do it. Yeah, I had a guy try in Atlanta, no dice. So it's, but it's not 100% but they're They're all over DFW, and they're all great in the sense that they want to help you be the best you. I got on the peptides recently because I keep injuring myself. And the only thing between me and death right now is those peptides, are those peptides. Go check them out. Gameday.com. It's very, very easy.
Starting point is 00:35:00 If you get on the shots, you're in and out of there in like two minutes. Very, very simple. If you also think you're in the NFL and you go out and you are, argue each call like that on a Sunday at a, like, just like Jake, you know? Go to gameday.com. Gameday.com. Or for erectile dysfunction at gameday.com. Yeah. Let's see here. Clayton. Yeah. Oh, Dan, just so you know, there are four locations in the Cleveland area. You might want to stop in and just see if they'll take the, uh, check new Philadelphia. Check new Philadelphia. I'll do it.
Starting point is 00:35:40 So, yeah, bought a new gun. All right. Left-handed? Left-handed semi-auto shotgun. How many are we up to? My dream gun. Banelli. What's the Arsenal up to?
Starting point is 00:35:54 Not going to tell you that number. Ankle? I don't have to answer that. No, but this is the show helping out. So I mentioned it a couple weeks ago after we had a, we were out at a sit-in talk and hunting with some guys and someone reached out and said, hey, I've been trying to sell this thing for a while, so met up
Starting point is 00:36:16 Friday, bought a gun in a parking lot and had some fellowship. We don't test drive that thing? I mean, is it like a shitty Jeep that I just had to get rid of? Like, is there any chance? You got a lemon? No, it's a Cadillac. Okay. And it's... So you buy a gun you never shot
Starting point is 00:36:32 before, and that's okay. I've shot the type of gun before. I've never shot that gun before. But I mean, it's a Benella. Well, and I know how to take care of them. I know how to take care of them. I know how to, I bought guns that were messed up before and fixed them myself. And I know how to do that. So I'm capable.
Starting point is 00:36:53 Can we ask how much? I don't know the rules around here. Less than what it normally goes for. Okay. Are you worried that you're meeting in a parking lot at night? There's a gun involved. A guy with a gun and he knows you're just bringing a bunch of money? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:10 two things there one I probably would have a gun on myself in that situation and two this ain't my first rodeo Dan
Starting point is 00:37:25 I've been doing gun deals and parking lots for 15, 20 years okay so you have like a guy across the street positioned on top of a sniper on the Walmart crow's nest and then all of a sudden
Starting point is 00:37:37 this is talking talking to the subby And a red dot appears on his chest, and you're like, think again. If everything's cool here, you're going to walk away. No. Give me the goods. Golly.
Starting point is 00:37:51 Cash? No, I mean, listen. Cash. Sold some silver was up, so I moved some silver. That a boy. So I didn't have to deal with the accountant wanting to know why I was taking money. You're revealing how much. I moved the silver from under my bed to the backyard hole.
Starting point is 00:38:06 No. I like to serve as a bridge between two worlds on the show. when I can. And I think to Clayton's point, you know, this is kind of why the Cold War stayed cold, right? That guy knows Clayton. Whoever that guy, that lady is, they know he has a gun. Why would he not have a gun? He's coming to buy a gun. I don't know if this stat is true anymore, but they used to say that in the state of Texas, we had way fewer, like, hot home invasions. Like, people just don't break into houses when people are home in Texas. Unless you're TC. It did happen at T-C.
Starting point is 00:38:41 But just the deterrent can work. And I promise you on a small scale, in this case, every single person that he meets up with to buy a gun is assuming this guy has a gun. True. Yeah. And you have to assume that he also had another gun. Of course. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:58 We're both going into this knowing. Mutually assured destruction. Yeah. This could be Twin Peaks, motorcycle gang, meet up all over again. There could have been a reservoir dog. It would be a bloodbass. He was an amazing person. He was a great guy.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Good fellowship. Had a 45-minute talk after the gun deal. Oh, that Dan would rather you just shoot him. I won't tell you, Dan was his leader. Trying to get out of your dealer's apartment. Did he have the gun in the trunk? Did he open the trunk? Did he pop open a suitcase?
Starting point is 00:39:28 Yeah. Well, Benelli's come in a very nice case. Yeah, I bet for course they do. So we pop that on the tailgate. And you bit your bottom lip. Looked at it. Can we guess the price? He flipped up his sunglasses.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Oh, yeah. I was like, let me holler at you. This was a high dollar weapons deal. It's a banality. It's so great. It's $1,500. That's what I was going to guess.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Probably about 15 smackaroos. Why is he selling it then? Yeah, to Dan's point. Got a body. So he's. That's odd. No, so he. Why is there one part filed off?
Starting point is 00:40:06 So the thing with left-handed shooters is, is you're, it's more based off your dominant. So I'm left-eye dominant, so I just learned how to shoot left-handed. Well, he's left-eye dominant, but he shoots right-handed. So he just got, tried it, didn't like it, and then was getting rid of it. So, plus on my side. Did he have a single tear down his cheek when you drove up? No, he was actually surprised.
Starting point is 00:40:31 He was just bringing it. He was going to give it to me to try before I bought it. But I just handed him the cash and just said, I'll take it. It's fine. Really? Clayton puts it right in his mouth. Say my name. 1,500 rolls. And then, yeah, Mother's Day weekend.
Starting point is 00:40:49 I have a hack that I do with my mom where I just load her up in the car and go to Lowe's and say, have at it. Okay. And just let her do whatever she wants. And then I just pay for it. What a trick. Yeah, can I be your mom? What a treat. Just say, well, she just wants plants for the girls.
Starting point is 00:41:08 garden and, you know, if she wants anything else, I'll just say, you know, do it, do your worse. I don't care. So we just load up the back of the car with a couple plants and I go back home and put them in the ground. Some years it's better. Some years it's worse. That's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:41:23 I had to re-saw it half the yard. I don't know about you guys, but I feel like I just see a woman's commitment to plants every year despite basically running like a hospice for plants. It's seen all they do is die. Yeah. Every plant. It just dies. It dies.
Starting point is 00:41:39 And it seems like it dies quicker than it should. And yet every couple weeks here, we're headed back to the plant place. Yeah. Well, that's what it's really this time of year, every year we run out there, get plants. And then the next year, it's we're going to buy plants to replace the ones we bought last year. It's almost like you just watch them, let it do it like an aunt, just moving something from one side of the yard to the other. And you're like, look at it go. Yeah, because it'll bring it back.
Starting point is 00:42:05 They have hope in the beginning. Yeah. Yeah, Dan. Would we still, like, get dogs if they died as often? No way. No way. Dogs are great, but if it only lived like a year or two? Man, that might be great.
Starting point is 00:42:20 No way, dude. You get a puppy for 12 months and then you get to just hit the reset button and get another one? That's some heart. That's some sadness, though, man. That's some mental stuff, dude. I think you get all the good parts. Most plants don't have the same feelings. No, and you wouldn't get all the good parts because part of having a dog, I think the best,
Starting point is 00:42:36 the best part of having a dog is when it's old enough to where everyone in your family hates it as much as they hate you. And the two of you were just out in the driveway together. And then when it dies, you're not that upset. Yeah. I mean, and you look at it, you're like, we rode together hard. Here's a guy speaking from experience. Yeah. Just ripping a sick going, I know, buddy. Yeah. You can't do that if it dies at 18 months. Plus, if you just have puppies, you just get a dog perpetually shitting and pissing in your house the whole time. Old dogs. It's like a three to four year old. You need dogs to make their own decisions. That's when a dog becomes cool.
Starting point is 00:43:10 When he's old enough and setting his ways, he just makes his own decision. I agree, but what if the dog lived his whole life in that year? You know, like he aged. That'd be sad as shit. I'm just thinking about my old dog.
Starting point is 00:43:20 I mean, you guys are crazy. You've also got land, though. But we'd also be conditioned to know that that's the lifespan of a dog. So you wouldn't apply. So you just kind of know, like, get it in. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:31 Yeah. I just, yeah. All right, well, we're going to have one more. You want a quick weekend check for me or no? I do. I absolutely do. It's going to be brought to you by, because I don't want yours to be quick.
Starting point is 00:43:43 I want you to pop off. It's going to be floor and direct DFW. Hit up our man, Dan, over there, and he'll come out. He'll bring you, he'll bring you tiny little floors for you to rub your grubby little hands over. And then you can imagine those floors being everywhere in your home. They've got great financing options. In fact, right now you can get your whole project for less than $100 a month. 36 months, 0% free financing.
Starting point is 00:44:04 New floors in your home for nothing down. Get yourself new floors if your puppy destroyed them. Make people take off their shoes from that point forward when they go in your house. There's no point doing that right now. It's over. But if you're able to get yourself a floor reset, I bet you could get Dan and Floor and Direct to throw in some booties. And you can do that kind of cocky move.
Starting point is 00:44:28 Ooh, could you slip those on for me? If you don't mind taking you. these are new floors. And they'll be like, I bet you had to drive to Timbuktu. No. Where is that? I don't know,
Starting point is 00:44:41 but I think it's like the, it's like Quicksand. I thought it was basically an international hub as a child. We should geogast Timbuktu together. See the closest on the map. I think of the Middle East. I'm thinking like Nepal. Is it anywhere near flooring direct,
Starting point is 00:44:57 DFW.com slash DZ? which is anywhere and they'll come to you to give you a free estimate that's the thing there's no risk here they'll come out they'll do it give you that estimate let you pick out your floors right there you don't even have to go to a showroom at flooring direct DFW.com slash dZ
Starting point is 00:45:14 our pros are the nicest we've got the best prices at foring direct big delay not huge anyway so let me just give you a little road trip talk. I'm driving, of course. I drove from Dallas to Clemson. I'm now on my way up to spend a few days in Cleveland with my mom and some friends. Not all together. I'll separately I'll see my mom. And then separately I'll see some friends. You know, Jim Tomey. Carlos Bayerga. Sure.
Starting point is 00:45:55 You know, Joe Thomas. Joe Carter. Louis Ilgouskas. Who could forget Big Z? So driving, I've never driven from Clemson to Cleveland before, and I've discovered that if you go up through Virginia and then West Virginia, and in this quaint little state of West Virginia, I told you this yesterday, Jake, I went through some toll booths and handed them actual money. No way.
Starting point is 00:46:23 And they gave me actual cash change. Yes, humans. Humans at the toll booth. I was kind of getting my wallet ready to scan something, to scan my credit card. But sweet old ladies. Yeah, sweet old ladies at the toll booth asked for actual cash. Or grass.
Starting point is 00:46:43 They said cash, grass, or ass. And I went with the cash. I was in a hurry. Only cash. That's the only option. Obviously. If you're on your... Oh, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:46:53 No, no, no. Sorry. Go ahead. I'm sorry. If you are on the phone with your mom, on Mother's Day like I was, and you're driving. Not only will you get the latest weather report, you will also get information about where you are and landmarks that you might end up seeing.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Nice. Useful. And then, yeah, so she's sitting online like Googling stuff, doing some Wikipedia talk, as I tell her, let's see, what's the tunnel I went through? Oh, I go, hey, I'm probably going to lose you. there was like so you go around a ton of mountains apparently a lot of mountains in West Virginia
Starting point is 00:47:34 and John Denver saying about it and I don't know how they figured it out but at some point they're like why don't we not go around this mountain what if we go right fucking through the middle of it I can't I can't wrap my head around it and there's two that I went through
Starting point is 00:47:56 one is called Big Walker Mountain Tunnel I don't know if the mountain is called Big Walker Mountain. A little wordy. But if you search Big Walker Mountain Tunnel, I think that might be Virginia. And then my mom's on the phone with me after I got through Big Mountain Walker, you know,
Starting point is 00:48:19 because I lost her. And so now I had to talk to her on the other side. And then she goes, oh, and did you know it was made in 1972? I'm like, why, that seems a lot more recent than I would have thought. Yeah, that's not that interesting of a fact at all. And she said, it's often confused with the East River Mountain Tunnel. And I said, oh, is that right? And then up ahead, I see.
Starting point is 00:48:43 What do I see? The East River Mountain Tunnel. You're damn right. Yeah, and you were confused. She says that is over a mile long. And then she got cut off. So five minutes later, I'm, so five minutes later, I'm talking to her because I got out of the tunnel. she goes, it's one of two tunnels in the United States that crosses a state line.
Starting point is 00:49:04 So you started in Virginia and you ended up in West Virginia and I said, hmm. That's fun. It's Mother's Day. You know, I'm letting her go. She's cooking. Yeah. And then she told me that West Virginia and Virginia actually used to be one state. And they split off because of the Confederacy.
Starting point is 00:49:24 That's a fun note. Yeah, West Virginia. I think I didn't know. not a history of slavery. That your mom was capable of just getting down a little Wikipedia rabbit hole. Quick, too. And just firing me off the info. That kind of opens up a range of possibilities I didn't know about.
Starting point is 00:49:41 I mean, I thought she was kind of thumbing through the TV guide. Just, like, if she's got the internet, then she's prone to know about more things than I was aware of. Like, she could be conspiracy adjacent at some point. Somehow she's escaped that. That's really interesting. I'm looking at it now, and we also know of the Mitch Trubisky Tunnels tweet. This is not the one where Mitch Trubisky tweeted out. I love kissing titties with seven S's.
Starting point is 00:50:12 But he once upon a time just tweeted out, tunnels are legit. And it was a picture. And as I'm looking at it now, it is absolutely the big Walker Mountain Tunnel. You know, because he went to North Carolina. He's out in that part of the world. It's the same. I'll retweet it right now. October 28th, 2012.
Starting point is 00:50:34 There's two celebrities that have gone through that tunnel at least. Dude, no idea on tunnels. No idea. Like, how do you do it? How does it not collapse on you? Come on. How? That thing's been up since 1972.
Starting point is 00:50:49 They're not going to renovate it. They're like, it's, things going great. And everyone just drives through it. Like, yep. I trust it. Someone just got a pickaxe and just started hitting it. I don't know where it is. I looked up longest tunnel in the world because I've...
Starting point is 00:51:03 You had time. I went through a tunnel once and I started to have a mini claustrophobic panic attack. And I rolled the windows down and grab my bottle of water. I'm like, what is this? It was just a longer tunnel than I expected. So I went out of tunnel rabbit hole. And, yeah, somewhere in Europe or Japan, there's... I mean, for trains, they have like 80-mile tunnels, 60-mile tunnels.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Mm-hmm. Like insane. But for cars, it's... So as I hit... I head up then. I get to Ohio this morning, slept in Parkersburg, West Virginia, in a hotel, of course. And there's a welcome to Ohio sign. And then it says, Governor Mike DeWine, I've heard of him before.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Mm-hmm. And do you know what it says for Lieutenant Governor? Assistant. No, hold on, hold on. Oh, go ahead. Tell me. Jim Tressel. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:58 I might not have gotten it, but I did know that. Certainly. What? Okay. Yeah, yeah, the playbook's out there now between Tomitubaville and, you know, Bruce Pearl, I want to say, from basketball. Yeah. Why not, dude? Think about it.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Hey, people know my name. This is the only job I can get just based on my name. Greg Oster tag? And then I don't have to do shit. Oh, okay. then so my hotel i'll just give you the i'm at i got a big giant long uh wiener of course i know um story about being at my daughter's graduation so i'm going to save that okay oh okay uh but a lot a lot from graduation um night so i just wanted i'll just give you i'll

Because I'm, I want him to know, hey, I really feel good about your text. Sure. But I was just like, I was just getting in the shower and I was thinking, what if I texted him back?
Starting point is 00:53:42 You up? Hey, man. Yeah, it's been a long trip. What if you come up here and we party a little bit, bro? What do you get some pussy around here? No, I want some piece of James, bro. Hey. In my text, I want a piece of James.
Starting point is 00:53:56 I haven't started this. Kevin Hart thing. Yeah, you want a little Netflix and chill? James? Yeah, you know. What if we just hang out? You and me? And I just wonder what his reaction would be, but I wasn't balzy enough to do it. You should have. I know I should have, Blake.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Yeah, but then worst case, but then at the end, like, what if he ends up having to pound this guy? Yeah. He's like, God, dude. If he shows up, I'm a man of my word. Yeah. You have drowned and you found out. Charge you charge you to the game. Yeah. Did he respond to your thanks?
Starting point is 00:54:30 Yeah, he did. Let us know if you need anything else. Yeah, right. That's still pretty prompty. Yeah, and was it instant? Yeah. Should hit him with it. What's you doing?
Starting point is 00:54:40 Yeah. Unlock all movies, please, James. So what does a normal workday look like for Brick? I want you to tell Dan what you do. Should I just say, like, on Thursday or Friday? Sure. All right. wake up about 4, 430.
Starting point is 00:54:57 Same. You got to feed everything. So you get the feed set up for the cattle, feed the horses. While horses are getting fed. It's on a ranch. I'm on a ranch. So you feed everything all at once.
Starting point is 00:55:09 So you feed your horses first because they take the longest to eat. And you need them the quickest. Then you feed the dogs because they eat quick and can go about their business. And then go set up the feed for the cattle. And that takes me to about sunrise. So sunrise, we go feed, and then directly after feeding, you go check all the pastures. And that takes me to about lunch. What does check all the pastures mean?
Starting point is 00:55:30 Get on a horse and go into each pasture on my land and check for chaos, normalcy. Among cattle. Yes. Check the cows. Make sure nothing crazy happened. Like if some animal snuck in? Or mostly like something getting into where they shouldn't get into or. or this time of year is calves.
Starting point is 00:55:54 So calves will, the mommas will stash him on the fence line and they'll fall asleep and they'll kind of accidentally get up and go on the other side of the fence in some spots. Like James Hardin? Yeah, exactly like James Hardin. Matter of fact, that's what we say. Don't laugh at that. That was the worst joke at it.
Starting point is 00:56:09 No, no, that's what we say. Look, it's just like James Hardin right over there. But you can do that. And that takes you to about lunch. And there's always probably some things attached to that. and then you kind of have like a little honey do that you're attempting to accomplish that week you know where it be the you know sort this cow off take pictures of this like right now everyone's buying bulls and buying heifers so there's a lot of customer service going on right now a lot of
Starting point is 00:56:36 you know selling and telling and consulting and and then go in for lunch and then depending on the day we usually after lunch we usually will go do something else like go make some money work for somebody else real quick go help them sort cows or something like that but man it's pretty much on a horse and you live there pretty much yes there yes live there so the barn is
Starting point is 00:57:03 the horse barn is about 100 feet from my house so I feed the horses every morning myself and you know it's pretty much on a horse from about 6. 630 in the morning until about, well, in the summer, about 8 o'clock at night. I could never see Dan on a horse, and I could never see Dan, like, having to, like, do tending cattle. But I could 100% see Dan having a farm
Starting point is 00:57:28 and having, like, a routine of three to four hours a day of feeding these things and, like, managing this. It's just, like, something to do with your OCD when you're old. It is. And with your organization skills when you're old. It's like managing cattle is. straightening the frills out on your rug. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:57:48 Like, if you like that feeling, just getting stuff straight. There's always something that needs to be straightened out. Oh, every day. I don't know really what I'm doing, but I'm doing something. I love it. Kind of related, I guess. My daughter took me to,
Starting point is 00:58:01 she had a job at Publix. You know what that is? You know where we know Publix from beyond Mikey and I stopping there many times on our way to Gulf Shores is this is the store that Jamesis stole his crab legs from once upon a time, Dan. Oh, okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:18 Well, so she said she hated her job there. She worked there for just a few months. And what her job was was just keeping the shelves stocked. Not stock. She didn't even have to stock. She just went to every shelf and had to move everything from the back to the front and just move it and make sure everything looked, you know, organized and neat. And I thought, that must have been the greatest job. I was going to say.
Starting point is 00:58:43 I was going to say it. Sounds like a good job. I would love to do that. Yeah, I was just watching the kids doing it, thinking I would just sit here all day. This would be the great. And she's like, no, no, no, it's so boring. I was like, oh, man.
Starting point is 00:58:55 You should come out, Dan. Not my daughter. I'll turn you to do a cowboy, Dan. I think you would enjoy the peace. You have to do it outside? Yeah, but we can get you in a little buggy with a little shed over you, you know, like sit around, just point like an old man. And that's when he adopts the rice hat.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, of course. It just makes sense. Just makes sense. Do they give you a rice woman with that rice hat? We can't arrange that. Now he's in.
Starting point is 00:59:23 A rice woman. Yeah. All right, let's do some sports. And let's have us brought to you by our good friends at Fair Lease. Fairlease is my preferred leasing place, Mike Soroy. Fairlease.org, 972-705-4815. Ask for Connor. Ask for Nick.
Starting point is 00:59:41 We're currently working with them for our friend Brandon Aubrey, who is in need of a new vehicle. We've had several of our friends in the business game. I don't know if you need a truck for running into cattle or something. They could probably find you that. They can find you anything. And they also don't have to call a bank because they're owned by the credit union to Texas. They put your best interest first. At fairlease.
Starting point is 01:00:09 That's crazy. You can click request a quote, and then they'll say... Because banks, credit unions do interest on the... How did you hear about us? Paid, tell them, Glenn Beck, at Fairlease.org. Fair lease, when you don't know what to do about a car. Because car stuff is hard. I'm going to sing early so that...
Starting point is 01:00:28 Fair lease. You don't need a dealership, baby. From the wonderful world of sports, radio sports, scoreboard. Oh, yeah, I like that. I have one thing that I want to play from last week that we never did. I was saving this for when we had our big Toronto Maple Leafs announced their new front office segment. This is something that went viral, and it's pretty out there. This is, again, this is the Leafs announcing their new general manager and new president, a whole new leadership team.
Starting point is 01:01:08 and this got people talking about the role of the press conference. Now, you've covered a bunch of these, Mike, in your early days. It's changed over the years because a lot of them are being live streamed now. And if they're not being live streamed, then they're getting posted right afterward. And now you kind of have a little bit of a cat and mouse game more than you used to, a little more performance. And this is an example of that. Steve Simmons, Toronto's son for Keith.
Starting point is 01:01:39 You talk about the due diligence that you did on John prior to hiring him and now hiring him. In the past, say, three to four days, I have been in contact with about 20 people who work in the National Hockey League, many of whom are prominent names that we would all know. And of the 20 people I spoke to, one was supportive of John's hiring, and the other 19th, thought it was a sham, to be perfectly honest. words were used like con artist, liar, salesman. How did you come to a different conclusion that I was able to come to in a very short time?
Starting point is 01:02:14 I must have talked to different people. That's it? Because I'm talking to the hockey world today is astounded by this announcement. Okay. And your response to that? Is we've conducted due diligence and it was deep due diligence.
Starting point is 01:02:31 It was a thorough process and I'm quite happy with where we've landed. so yeah that's exciting exciting that's uh who did they who did they hire
Starting point is 01:02:42 um it's a guy that I guess has uh I you know what to be honest with you I don't know I don't know the full story I don't know the full story I know that everybody is like saying that the guy was didn't earn it
Starting point is 01:02:56 was you know not the not the favorite um well not the favorite's different than that though I mean, there's 19, according to Homeboy. Yeah. The biggest dirtbag in the league. Right.
Starting point is 01:03:10 Like, he did something. Even then. I don't know. Just a weird way to approach it. You talked about press conferences and we played all, you know, reporters asking questions. And, like, I feel like he was super nervous. So you're either got the new guy who doesn't know how to talk and the question is probably going to be funny. Or that guy who knows he's about to go with their neck.
Starting point is 01:03:35 Yeah. And he's been thinking about this question for two days. And the media tends to kiss ass. So he knows he's not going to receive any support, even if all the other media members think that exact same thing. Right. Yeah, I agree. But there's a way to ask that question different.
Starting point is 01:03:57 Like he went, the delivery was fucking hard. Yeah. He was pretty upset for hockey. It was pretty upset. Yeah, so you're the guy was. Yeah. A sham. That's it.
Starting point is 01:04:09 The guy has been docked a couple of times by the league for conduct detrimental for, like, conducting private scouting combines. When he was the GM of the coyotes, they were docked a few picks for that. So I think he's just generally maybe thought of as a guy who's living on the edges. He's got a little Gordon Bombay in them. Some enemies. There you go. Yeah, that's a... You know, that gets me to something else, though, Dan.
Starting point is 01:04:35 I don't know if you're aware of this since you're not necessarily. necessarily social media guy. But there's also something happening now where people who work in media are releasing little like highlight mixtapes of themselves. Of them reporting?
Starting point is 01:04:51 Yeah. So apparently they'll ask the team photographer for images or video and it'll have you know like Kanye or whatever but it'll just be them you know sort of asking questions and it's a I guess it's It's this whole, like, are you an influencer or a reporter thing that...
Starting point is 01:05:10 There are our main characters all around us. That's a good way to put it. Blake, you want to do some Rangers? Yeah, that was pretty shocking over the weekend. Where I was about ready to kind of give up and punt on the season. Let's trade everyone. And then the Cubs come in with the highest scoring offense in the National League. And we get back-to-back shutouts and take two out of three.
Starting point is 01:05:37 coming off of losing two out of three to the Yankees when they definitely s the bed there but two of the hottest teams at baseball and they lived to fight another day. I thought it was interesting. It was Saturday, I think, when they yanked lighter after four.
Starting point is 01:05:51 Four and two-thirds. But it's funny because we were on the phone on Wednesday or whatever. Maybe it was Thursday. It was Wednesday. It was a business Thursday. After the show and McKenzie Gore's out there just dealing through five.
Starting point is 01:06:05 And I have this problem watching baseball, Mike, with the sixth inning. Sometimes it's the fifth inning. But it appears to be the only one that matters. Because now we're either, we're bailing and going to a reliever with a name that sounds like an AI generator who's probably going to get beat up or your starter just turns to piss. It's just that I feel like if you could reasonably sort baseball based on productivity,
Starting point is 01:06:30 stats, all the analytics, you would have guys, everybody would pitch exactly three innings. You would redistribute all of the start over completely. You would do it that way. You would just figure out because you may have some edge cases. And it's tough to tease out how much is fatigue and how much is third time through the order. Because again, Jack Lider was at like 90, pitches through four inning. So, but I just, I think if they're in the future. And then what, pitch every three day, two or three days? And I don't know how all that works, but they treat it like it's, oh, it can't be changed because you're arm. But then you find out that like
Starting point is 01:07:09 in Japan, they have different schedules, they do way more like long toss in between games. You would just reorganize it. If you could completely start over. But, you know, you can't. And I swear to God, the Rangers lead the league
Starting point is 01:07:25 in, hey, our starter just had a 28 pitch inning, but he got out of it. All right, let's get back up there, boys. And you go to the bathroom. and the Rangers are no longer at bat because they've offered a five pitch return to that
Starting point is 01:07:40 and you don't think about stuff like that but then it usually shows up in the next inning. It's annoying. I was going to say if the kids playing in my baseball league where we do coach pitch until high school, arms are a lot more fresh and maybe they could pitch every third day if they had to. You're the commissioner here.
Starting point is 01:07:58 I think the key was just getting new blood in there. As soon as left field has been great. Jake Berger sat in the rain. Rangers one, go figure. So I'm still kind of like I don't, I'm souring on this team a little bit, but it was a good weekend series. This was pointed out to me how,
Starting point is 01:08:17 you know, Corey Seeger is a robot. And when the robot can hit 340 home runs, it's a good bit, but when the robot is kind of broken and texting you about your stay at the Hampton Inn. It's not fun. Corey Seeger didn't have time for Mother's Day bats. Wouldn't swing the pink wood.
Starting point is 01:08:37 Really? Yeah. I actually respect him for that no matter what. I respect that. Like I dream of a world where Dan made it to Major League Baseball and wouldn't wear the... Pride shirt. Forty-two?
Starting point is 01:08:53 Forty-two, yeah. What about 41? Boy, that's funny. I didn't know they would give you a choice. I mean, if, yeah. If anyone on the team, yeah, of course. They all love their moms. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:09:09 Yeah, but no, he's got a routine. So, Dan, I didn't watch a ton of sports over the weekend, but I can tell you one thing I did watch was a fair piece of the Kevin Hart roast. And I'm going to play you a little bit of audio from that. So Kevin Hart, you may remember him from gestures at the last 20 years of just. permeating our culture. But he is thought of as a guy who is just an ultimate grinder. You know, like if you, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:43 So where was this? This was at the forum in L.A. No, I mean, is it Netflix? Yes, and it was live. Oh, okay. Because I saw a lot, yeah, I saw clips this morning. I'm like, wait, is this old? No, wait.
Starting point is 01:09:57 Okay. No, the Kia Forum was hosting the Netflix as a joke festival. So you might have seen like a lot of comedians in a photo together over the weekend at somebody, probably the Netflix guy's house. And I guess this was the crowning thing of it.
Starting point is 01:10:13 And Kevin Hart, despite the fact that he's going to make five Jumanjis and five million for each one. He was a comedian's comedian like early on. Like he was a grinder. So he's got a lot of guys up there
Starting point is 01:10:27 who are those types, right? So Shane hosted it, which was an interesting choice. you just would think they'd get a black comedian to do it. I don't know why, but Shane acknowledged that pretty quickly. Like, oh, this is interesting, isn't it? Philly Comics, I think. Yeah, they're both from Philly, which does help, at least, you know, Philly adjacent.
Starting point is 01:10:49 Or why not Jeff Ross? I thought he's the Roastmaster General. Jeff Ross hasn't hosted him in a long time, has he? I feel like he's always been the guy who's, I mean, he was first in this one. He's definitely got cancer and looks like it. but I think it's in remission. Well, no, it was great, actually, because he was, he's bald. He's like chemo bald.
Starting point is 01:11:10 Looks crazy. And he's got, he was wearing like the Eddie Murphy, uh, raw red leather. Yes. Okay. The most insane look ever. Rock killed him, too. Yeah. Yeah, everyone did.
Starting point is 01:11:25 It was great. But Shane hosted it and the one thing I would say about it is it was in front of a, you It was in front of, it was live and it was in front of a paying audience, right? Like, it was at a venue, which I think makes it a little bit different than it being just celebrities. I don't know why, but it's like, I kind of liked it feeling like it was their thing. Like the old roast, you imagine, right? Like, the fri, like, it's like this little dank club. It's just weird to be like, hey, this one's for you up in the 300s.
Starting point is 01:11:56 Yeah. I got a row. It just felt, to me, it was a little bit weird. Shane does a thing that I personally find annoying, which is when you're hosting, obviously everyone is using jokes that a lot of other people wrote. I don't like reacting to the joke.
Starting point is 01:12:14 Oh, I thought that was a better... I don't... Because you've rehearsed the joke, you've read the joke. And I don't like saying, oh, that one wasn't mine anyways, so fuck it. You know, I just think it's a... I think you have to own your stuff. And to me, he's got a really bad habit.
Starting point is 01:12:26 I still think he's obviously very funny. He's one of my favorite. but every time he does this, it's like it's beneath him. And he kind of gives off this air of like, oh, I mean, that one sucked. Oh, well. Kind of breaks the fourth wall. Yeah, I don't love that. Personally.
Starting point is 01:12:41 But I do think it was, it was great. And, yeah, there's a lot of Kevin Hart, but if you can get around that, I thought, I thought it was excellent. I'll play you a little bit here. Here's Shane roasting Lizzo. give a go for Lizzo I'd really love to make fun of her but I met her earlier this week and she's actually pretty fucking cool
Starting point is 01:13:08 who would have thought that but anyway actually I'd still like to do it go back okay now that is kind of cool and like the prompter heard him say like I don't want to make fun of her and then he saw a joke he's like no no I still like that I thought that but anyway
Starting point is 01:13:23 actually I'd still like to do it go back Luzzo looks like the final boss of a red lobster video game. People keep saying Lizzo's washed up, but I believe the correct term is beached. She had come out with a flute. For her set, she came out with a flute with eight little people. Okay.
Starting point is 01:13:45 Black little people dancing. And so she had already gone. And I think the correct turn is beached. Nice flute, you fat fucking bitch. We're having fun. And here's her on him. And again, she didn't write any of these jokes. And if you look in the writing credits at the end,
Starting point is 01:14:13 one of my favorite comments, Nick Mullen, who was from Comtown, wrote a lot of these. And it's great because he's just Shane's friend. And it's just him getting to write jokes for Lizzo to read about Shane. Dude, she can't get this out. And she's struggling with it. It's not her joke, but it's funny to listen to her do it. Shane Gillis looked like somebody trying to draw Buzz Light Here from memory.
Starting point is 01:14:43 I just made that one up on the spot. Shane, I wrote you a song, In case nobody told you today, you're special. Thank you. Save some chromosomes for the rest of us, boy. That's only being written by somebody who knows him. Right. So I thought those were not bad.
Starting point is 01:15:10 Shane on Pete Davidson. This one got... See, we're at this weird place now, too, where there's a lot more stuff that I think is public than maybe celebrities ever dealt with before. So, I mean, Kevin Hart knows P.
Starting point is 01:15:24 did he pretty well. Right? I mean, he was involved. And so people are bringing it up, you know, like somebody, somebody hit him with the line of, uh, yeah, you know, you can tell that it's not that Kevin,
Starting point is 01:15:40 it's not that we can bring up that Kevin was involved with P. Diddy that there's the tell. It's that every time we do, he gets silent. That was Kat. Yeah, and Kat was the one who kind of started this whole thing. You know, the whole, hey, you know, there's Epstein in the entertainment industry. You might get to it, but that was my favorite. There was a lot of that.
Starting point is 01:15:59 Here's just one of Shane referencing it. Pete showed up at the Kids Choice Awards high on ketamine. I actually think that's pretty fucking awesome. At least you didn't show up to that event on Viagra, like a lot of the people in this room did. There's a lot of pedophiles here. Nervous laughter. So it's like we're in this weird,
Starting point is 01:16:26 you know what I mean? We're in this weird middle ground. No way 20 years ago are you joking about, you know, maybe Norm McDonald would, but just the... You'd have to insinuate it a little bit more in that. Yeah, it's just like all the way out of the bag. We're like, yeah, a lot of people in here, A lot of us know you're paying boys for sex.
Starting point is 01:16:42 And it's already like to the funny cycle. Yeah. It's how quickly it moves. So Dan, I think it's worth your time, even though there's a lot of, there's a lot of Kevin Hart. But yeah. Now, I feel like it's, it gives everybody a license to say what they actually think about Kevin Hart under the guise of this is, you know, we're kidding. It's a roast. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:05 And I do think that there are people, it's tough to tell because a lot of people depend on it. but he seems like he's beloved, you know, by... Him and Kat really hate each other. That was the surprise with that was that Kat, like up until he appeared on light last night, that is well documented, they should not be in the same room with each other. Like backstage and all, like they hate each other.
Starting point is 01:17:28 Was it cool after? And they buried the hatchet. Like, that was real. That was K-Fave. That was real. They really buried. Now, I'm sure they buried the hatchet off stage before, but that was.
Starting point is 01:17:39 was a big Hatchberry the Hatchet moment between Kat and Kevin because Katz been going at Kevin for 20 years. It was a fun watch. It's long but worth your time. Do you see the rock with Draymond? Yeah. That was pretty damn
Starting point is 01:17:55 good. Rock did good. Dremont Green is that Dan if you're ready for your Draymond Green decade. He was in this? No, I was, I saw that this morning and I'm really fascinated by where his career is going to go. But you're right.
Starting point is 01:18:11 We're going to get a lot of Draymond. Yeah. And again, I think it's to go back to the way that Shane maybe doesn't sell his bits as much as I would like him to. Draymond is a guy who will do the, oh, I didn't write that one. I didn't do the, oh, don't get mad at me. I just don't feel like Shaq does that. I feel like Shaq is just kind of leaning into, if that's who we're looking to is like, does he have a career like that? I think Shaq is actually comedically inclined.
Starting point is 01:18:40 Dreybond doesn't have any swag. It doesn't seem like he does. He's got athlete swag. He doesn't have persona. He doesn't have it. He just got tall athlete swag. I think I agree. And because he's kind of a bad boy,
Starting point is 01:18:52 they throw him on. But he's really not. He's a mouse out off the court. Like he's a real, like he's not a, who is he? Charles. No, Charles Barkley beat his ass right now. He's probably just a shit talker.
Starting point is 01:19:03 And that's all he can do. He's got one lane. Yeah. Charles Barkley's throwing people through windows. Yeah. Have you seen his recent controversy on that show? Yeah. Talking, yes, talking about the end of Charles's career.
Starting point is 01:19:19 Yeah. And kind of the analysis is he doesn't quite get, like he's 90% there on what they do. Yeah. But he doesn't really get the, you know, get how to jab and have fun with it and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. You're going to have to give a little to get to make it work, right? You can't be all about the ego.
Starting point is 01:19:42 Like, there is some level of back and forth there. Showmanship. Yeah. Dan, I think those are the biggest sunglasses I've ever seen. Me? Those are giant. Yeah, they're prescription sunglasses. Well, listen.
Starting point is 01:19:59 If those sunglasses are too big and they blind you and you T-bone a meth head driving a trailer out in West Virginia, you call the Frankles at 214-817 and all threes. It'll work out there. It'll work anywhere. They have years and years of experience. They've got people there that worked inside the insurance company. Dan was recently sitting down with Frankles and hearing about their personal touch on things. Good people over there, the Frankles and Jean Burkett, Dan.
Starting point is 01:20:35 Yeah, they're awesome. 214, 817, all threes. Yeah, Gene Burkett, they will specialize in the trucking accidents, too. So get on that. You know what you want to do when you're on a road trip is you want to get a buddy. You ever get a buddy, Blake? Oh, Blake loves a buddy. Starts driving real quick.
Starting point is 01:20:56 The fullback? Heck yeah, your bandit. Yeah. You're bandit. And then if you lose that buddy and like Jake said, you get T-boned by an 18-wheeler with your last dying breath. Please call Frankl and Frankel and mention. the dumb zone. Even take out the word the, just say dumb zone, just so that they know and then you can die. And then you just put your fingers over his eyelids. All right. More on that.
Starting point is 01:21:27 Next. Okay. How about this? The dumsaw, dunza. All right, what's the number? It's 1718-1168-0-11. Look, I have way too many numbers, okay? I gave you the area code. We're in the area code. I don't need to dial it. Okay, ready? I'm ready.

Starting point is 01:23:41 Dan is on the road. In studio, we've got Mike Soroy. Hello. I hung out with Travis the other day. We played golf. Did you? Cool dude. He is.
Starting point is 01:23:49 He is awesome. We had a blow. last he's a great guy yeah hit the ball far uh when he catches one yes but he was having a rough day he's a big boy he topped we joked about it i think he topped 18 of 20 drive attempts he was catching him a little has he tried longer clubs oh yeah he has long clubs too i fiddle around with one they were there 20 drive is he hitting it was a scramble yeah so we had a re-rack a few times oh yeah paid for the five dollar mulligans or we actually bought one ball a pink ball that you could use for like one time
Starting point is 01:24:22 Mulligan unlimited. As long as you didn't. Super challenge in the UFL or whatever. Like as long as you didn't lose this pink ball, you could use it at once per hole on a mulligan. So we're like, let's just put the thing because obviously we won't. And then like second hole, somebody pumps one in a lake.
Starting point is 01:24:38 All right, damn it. There was a. The Stableford Way. There was a challenge at the volleyball game. Really? That I was at. How does that work? I guess you could just. They have a dance off? Anytime.
Starting point is 01:24:49 Anytime in the rally What's his name was the judge? Yeah, true. You can call for the challenge. I thought this was funny. Keep in mind, female volleyball team didn't agree with the review.
Starting point is 01:25:01 So the review came through, hey, there was a fault in the net. It's the other team's point. And then they just lost their shit. And then they, yeah. They have a lot of trouble with accountability generally. Just a whole minute of,
Starting point is 01:25:11 there was clear video evidence of you in the net. No, no, no, no, no. Couldn't be. That kind of stuff just doesn't appeal to them. No. Yeah, okay. Like men sports, everyone just, good day, sir. I appreciate your assessments and your agreement.
Starting point is 01:25:25 We'll move on as a carrying of justice. Five, challenge. A just challenge. It is funny. Okay, so T.C.'s in here as well. So is Brick. And let's do... I saw it right when I walked in.
Starting point is 01:25:40 I saw Steve Novi-L-L. Kind of a brick shit house. He's a big guy. I didn't know. You don't run into Novi. I didn't know. Them shoulders? He's New York meat.
Starting point is 01:25:48 Dude. Yeah. Oh my god damn. You don't play around with that guy? Novi, yes. You don't play around with that guy. I'd like to have him out of the dumb zone generic summer event.
Starting point is 01:25:58 Yeah. Mike, you think it'll be in attendance this year? Yeah, hell yeah. I haven't missed one. There you go. I don't think. Dan, here's your chance to ask Brick about the CD sniff. Why?
Starting point is 01:26:10 You tend to have questions about it. He knows the route. Well, how does, well, yeah, why would I ask Rick about this? Because he actually knows what he's talking about. Brick is the closest thing we're going to have to somebody who might have seen a crime committed and someone hit that celebration afterwards. Okay, well, I don't have any context for anything you're saying, Blake, except I do want to know what the sniff is. We have a guy who works in cattle here and you're like, oh, this guy would know what that is. How?
Starting point is 01:26:45 Well, I asked, I even put that. Because I asked about the ops thing and he knows because of his music background. I don't know the background as well as Jake does. I was kind of thinking Jake would take over. But if we need to stop down the whole thing to ask about the CD sniff, we can. He could have just explained it. It just means murdering everybody. All of it means murdering everyone.
Starting point is 01:27:04 And that's the thing is that... Everything we don't know is just murder. Or drug. You can argue is derived from some obscure dumbass movie. But it's all derived from them not being allowed to do the gun thing anymore. And people will get on to me. about the cooking thing is 100% just crack. Yeah, cooking crack.
Starting point is 01:27:24 It's from... Yeah, it's Little Be the Base God. I thought it was Feed Me. Yeah, well, always feed me. Is that any... Just gay. Just gay. Just gay. Just gay.
Starting point is 01:27:36 All right, let's do the news. Let's have us brought to us by Puddle Pools. Our good friends over at Puddle Pools.com slash the Dumb Zone. We have a new review that came in. I'm a Puddle Poole Poole C customer. Dan is a Puddle Pools customer. I had a guy who, was doing it for a long time. You might have had a guy. I thought he was doing an okay job.
Starting point is 01:27:54 Then we switched it over to the pros at puddle pools. They send you a little report after they get done. You know they've been there. They send you pictures. Here's the review. After 25 years attended to pool duties on my own because no one else could possibly do it better than me. I turned it all over to Chris Reeves with puddle pools. That's his name. I have a high maintenance pool under a canopy of trees. God damn, bro. Save some pussy for the rest of us. The water is usually dark green for most of April and May. Last week inside of three days, it was still clear and ready to use. I found they're also able to handle any pool need from water treatment to any type of pool equipment. They're reliable, trustworthy, and provide a real
Starting point is 01:28:26 value for the money. I highly recommend them. They're making my life so much easier. Nice. It is nice. They handle it all for you. They balance the chemicals. They get rid of that weird film and build up. My pool looks better than it ever has. I'm paying about the same and I got a guy that is I know actually doing the work. So hit him up. Puddle Pools. Here's a song about it. Putapoole It's got water we can clean it Puttle pool If I say that then I mean it
Starting point is 01:28:56 Putterpool I said soil on the knee Putterpool Wait I meant to say you dingy Putterpools.com Slash Dumbzone Damn
Starting point is 01:29:08 It's the best song All right Clean clean clean news news News news Here's Jay With the dumb zone Wait I have some breaking news
Starting point is 01:29:18 Okay I am traveling through the birthplace of like the 28th greatest player in NBA history and one of the top two players in NBA history. Kyrie Irving. That's right. The same hospital, bro. There you go. No, Steph and LeBron. That's right.
Starting point is 01:29:44 Okay. I was confused for a second there. Where's Kyrie born? He was actually born. Australia? Okay, I knew it was somewhere different than actual, you know, New Jersey. A lot of mulberry. Muslim stuff in the news today, boys.
Starting point is 01:29:55 Strap in. This one absolutely hilarious. There is a university that is trying to get themselves accredited. There are currently no way in some legal wrangling with the governor. This is a university called Texas American Muslim Institute of Technology at Dallas. Too much. I agree. That's why they've started going by Tex-A-M. University.
Starting point is 01:30:23 I don't know. What is it again? Efficient. Texas American Muslim Texas American Muslim Institute of Technology at Dallas. I hope this becomes big so that every Aggie you can be like,
Starting point is 01:30:39 is that the Muslim one? Well, T.C, that is in fact the story because the Texas A&M University system has sued them. Demanding that Tex A.M. University immediately stopped using names, marks, domains and branding elements that are fringe upon
Starting point is 01:30:56 or dilute Texas A&M's trademarks. What kind of buttresses it? Why aren't they excited about this? You know what? And it is funny because obviously it's hilarious because it's A&M. They're like, no, stop it. Stop using our thing. It's very similar to in the first season of Gillian Keyves.
Starting point is 01:31:16 Shane is the owner of a car dealership called Bob Isis Toyota. Not that one. We're the other Texas A&M. But this was actually, I think, a controversy within A&M. They had like a very serious presence in the Middle East. Oh, that's great. I don't know if it was Oman, Qatar, Qatar. The Middle East has a very serious presence at Texas A&M too right now.
Starting point is 01:31:43 The engineering and all that is Asians and Middle Easterners only. It's like 50,000 of them. This is all oil. Right, obviously? Yeah. Yeah. They set up a, they set up like a research university in one of these countries over there that is commonly thought of as a sponsor, at least according to, you know, to Greg Abbott.
Starting point is 01:32:02 I think it was, I remember Dubai. It might have been. Yeah. It was something like that, but yeah, that became a hot buddy. But it's just very funny to me. I want him to be maroon. I want them to get them. Be yell leaders.
Starting point is 01:32:15 A little outfit. How far were we from the first yell leader? Jake, whenever you and I were in the Dixie Chicken, you remember like the average person there. Imagine that person in Dubai. Yeah, it's tough to... Immediate prison for the most part. It's tough. Mostly for solicitation.
Starting point is 01:32:33 I mean, both religious extremists, the average Dixie chicken attendee and... It's fair. They have some disagreements by the particulars. We also have the follow-up. We were talking last week about epic. water park in Grand Prairie, which is like a city-owned park, huge indoor water park. And there was going to be this event that was being held there. A local Islamic group was having Muslim Day.
Starting point is 01:33:05 And the flyers that they put out said, you know, hey, I don't think it said required, but it said like suggested. Muslim honoring Uh, uh, honoring, uh, traditions and culture suggested. Um, and then on the website it said what all that meant.
Starting point is 01:33:23 Like they have rules against like staring at ass. Like you're not supposed to get us too long. You had to be covered up, right, that day. I'm pretty sure. Recommended. Is that all says recommended? You, they can't force you.
Starting point is 01:33:34 So they, it, they, they, eventually it was at least revised to, you know, suggested or recommended. Um, that event has now been canceled.
Starting point is 01:33:45 Oh. Because the governor, again, threatened the city with pulling state money safety grants if they proceeded with this event. Now, I think I messed up the other day when we were talking about this because at the end of the day, what I didn't realize is some group rented this place out. Also, it's a private business. It's a private man by the city. Epic is? That's the part that I think, yeah, it is a city. It's a city park.
Starting point is 01:34:15 But if you rent it out, though, that's no different. I apologize for spreading misinformation. But that's no different than if, like, Nokia rented out the thing and said it's for employees only. They could say who can come. Well, they can still have their rules. Right. You can still say, like, no cussing at this concert or whatever if you rent it out to somebody. To me, if you're paying, but if you're paying for the private event, unless your rules break the rules of the venue, then I don't see how.
Starting point is 01:34:42 Was it a private event, though? It wasn't a private event, though? They're promoting it. I mean, it's private in the sense of... They lease the space. They lease the space, right? But it's not invite only. They're going as far as they can to make it private without making it private.
Starting point is 01:35:00 But they rented it out. My guess there's a gray area on that since it's with the city and the city just waited for them to, you know, I bet you there probably, I know, with a lot of, like, city places, it's, you got to be really gray on the, for-profit or for a reason why like it needs to be like a almost like a philanthropic event for the because it's free should be free that's put a value on it type of thing they have a hard time doing ticket i mean look at the all the him and hall and about the greenville parade they didn't know how to figure that thing out what is that the the same patrick yeah yeah they didn't know how to figure that out it's the same thing like for-profit sponsorship city all that gets convoluted and
Starting point is 01:35:45 I'm sure that was above a lot of people's pay scale and Grand Prairie. Well, it's not happening. Ingrid phrase? Him and Hawn. Yeah, I think so. When you're hearing hawing. Me and Donna used to do a segment called White People Land where he would... Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:00 That's the water park that he and I went to and spent a day. And the ticket had some kind of... Was it fun? I had fun. I love it, dude. I don't think he had a whole lot of fun. My daughter and I watched... See, this is kind of like I've told you guys,
Starting point is 01:36:15 speaking of the Muslim world, that they're not them specifically but a lot of different cultures are hiding a lot of different treats and ice creams in particular i didn't know that i didn't know if you go to the ice cream place in los calinas uh that i go to they have they have totally different stuff same goes for like they have sick-ass water parks in the rest of the world that i think are being hidden from us there's a dude on youtube that just goes to water parks all over the world where's a go pro and edits together like a 20 or 30 minute video. My daughter and I will watch them back to back. Amazing.
Starting point is 01:36:49 They're sick. Yeah. Have you ever seen the respectful Muslim garb at a water park before? I have. I've had one experience with it. To see a lady like in the wave pool with the head scarf was a... They didn't really
Starting point is 01:37:05 looks like from the outside. They don't really mess with the little water sports with their get-ups. They have water ones. It feels odd, but then my... I'm looking at her like this is an odd thing. I've never really seen this before. And my eyes kind of travel to her husband who's also in the wave pool
Starting point is 01:37:22 but he's just full Adidas pants and then a collared shirt. That's feral. Let me ask you something that obviously has a racial component to it. Why are we as whites the least likely to wear a collared
Starting point is 01:37:41 shirt and water? Or a shirt close. Yeah, but you will see white guys like T.C.'s a shirt guy, right? Like, we have heavy guys that'll wear a shirt, but they're not, and they're not even just heavy. I have a buddy who's, like, just really pale. He always has the shirt on, but... There's no collars. But you just, you see a lot of guys,
Starting point is 01:37:57 like if you see Latino guy, Indian guy, like collared shirt. I think that they just have a surplus of collards. They just probably don't have T-shirts. Yeah, this may just be a economic point. At that point, don't you just pop the top? I would have, but he didn't
Starting point is 01:38:13 want to. And it felt much weirer than the headscarf. I'll tell you, being shirt off is a big American thing. Really? Yeah. Shirt off is an American thing. I feel like the French and Italian and I like it just fine. We'd be on those tours and I'm a big, as soon as I get off the bus in the hotel, shirts coming off. Top buckling pants is getting undone. Oh yeah. And the looks I would get, like room service or something like that, they'd be like, please, sir. I'm very sexy. I could be tantalizing, but. Wait, you walk around your hotel room with your shirt off. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:48 That's a definite. Shoes, socks, no shirt. Yeah. Anyone else like, that's weird? No, that's fully me. This sounds a little weird. With a roommate. Live with it, buddy.
Starting point is 01:39:01 Barely. So when you go home, you're just like, God, damn the shirt. So restrictive. Yeah. Shirt off. Shirt and pants at the house. He lives alone, dude. This is my dad.
Starting point is 01:39:12 That doesn't matter. I love being alone And I walk around with clothes I'm shirt off at the house a lot of the time You are? Yeah Especially like in the morning And I mean yeah it's just I don't like the
Starting point is 01:39:25 I don't sleep with one on Especially if it's Dan can't see me can't But I wear this every day This is with my workout fit And this gets hot It's a you know It's full denim on top and bottom
Starting point is 01:39:35 You know pearl snap and jeans So when I go to the house And my mud room I take it off So I can not track it all over the house but then I just don't put an alternate pair of clothes on. But I'm definitely going down to my underwear and putting it on 61 every time I get in a hotel. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:51 Yeah. We got to test that AC in hotel. So good. Absolutely. Don't know how this doesn't happen more often, but in an outcome somewhere in Blake's range of outcomes that he ducked, a Texas track coach was struck in the head by a shot put during a meet over the weekend. Yes.
Starting point is 01:40:10 Ponder. Got to have your head on swivel, huh? struck by the shot put during the uh this was in tyler thing's pretty messed up too yeah doing that it's got to be the kids fault right you can't say that you're around kids it's like i mean if you're around
Starting point is 01:40:28 chimps and one of them does something chimpy it's like i think that was probably your fault for being around them when they were sounds like a you're at a meat though you think the kids done it before it was at an actual meet it was like a competitive throw Yes, they were in Tyler. He's the guy's done it before.
Starting point is 01:40:44 Oh, that's the coach's fault. It's positioning, right? He wasn't in the field of play. Better than the javelin or worse. You ever see those? Javelin throws gone wrong. There's a whole subset. For real?
Starting point is 01:40:57 I feel like javelin, you got a decent, like there's a way a javelin could strike you that wouldn't mess you up that much. Kind of bounce off, right? Anything other than the tip, whereas shot put, you get in touch by a shot put, that's bad. Well, then javelin, you go, hey, well, look out. And you look up.
Starting point is 01:41:11 Because when someone says, watch out, you look up and you're going to see a spear flying through the sky and you can dodge it. Somebody says, look out and it's a shot put. It's this like slowly moving cannonball that you could run around, do anything with. You're not doing shit about any of this. You're both getting leveled by this track equipment.
Starting point is 01:41:31 I'm fighting it. If you give me a pick, I think I'm picking the javelin. I agree. Fully. Well, that kid might have a little rotation in it. You get hit by the side of a javelin. you're fine. Are we talking about success rate of avoiding or getting hit and not hurt?
Starting point is 01:41:47 Getting hit and not hurt. The coach underwent up. I'm just accepting. I'm not diving out of way. Emergency surgery to treat a skull fracture. He got hitting the head with it. He got hitting the head. The onus is on him, buddy.
Starting point is 01:41:58 I'm sorry. I hate to be that guy, but you got to see that thing coming. But if the kid pulled it foul by 25 to grow up. It's still not going to be moving that fast. That thing's heavy. If your life is depending on this 14 year old doing a good. shot put, then where have you put yourself? I'm saying he's probably not standing in front of the kid.
Starting point is 01:42:17 He was probably where he was supposed to be. He wasn't far enough away. He could have the whistle at the start, finish line. And this photo, he has a target painted on his head. The hurdles event. Explain that. That seems like an over. Why are we still doing this?
Starting point is 01:42:28 Shot puttut? Yeah. What feels is his suicide path? You meant the story. Yeah, it is kind of funny that. So the fat kids can play track and field too. I couldn't do it. Brock Lesner's daughter does it?
Starting point is 01:42:39 Dude, does she? She's a dog. Do you ever? Dude, I've seen it. She looks exactly like it. The pictures are shocking. Yeah. The Brock Leicester's daughter.
Starting point is 01:42:47 It is kind of funny. I mean, but. At least with everything else, we're kind of trying to dress it up with rules and stuff. And this one, they're like, hey, big kids, throw it.
Starting point is 01:42:56 Go throw that big old thing over there. Throw the heavy thing. Like, I don't know. Come up with something. So, like, the way you do it, you got to rotate in the circle with it by your ear. And then you launch it. So that means that the rotation was off.
Starting point is 01:43:09 And he theoretically launched it. directly at this person. I think I've told you guys this story before, but when I was in high school, we had two kids who played football with us. If I recall correctly, I played with this dude through all four years, the older one.
Starting point is 01:43:25 Two brothers, they were, I want to say Vietnamese, and they were also both deaf. And they were also both great athletes. They were super, super, super speedy athletes. And so they had a translator at practice. for the whole time I was there. Because then when his younger brother started playing,
Starting point is 01:43:44 she would go back and forth. And so they had a little, not a little old lady, but a lady who was probably 50 out there, and she was a sign language translator. And, you know, she's got a lot going on already. She's translating for two kids. She's trying to do football terminology.
Starting point is 01:43:58 We would keep it pretty simple for him, put him in the back field, and I would toss in the ball. And I would show him the formation with a hand signal in the quarterback. I would call the play, and I'd be like, toss right.
Starting point is 01:44:09 We'd pitch him the ball. He was a, That good? He was very good. Because normally I think you throw the deaf kid defensive end, right? This kid was a tear with the ball in his hands at the JV level.
Starting point is 01:44:20 Never jumping offside. He's still at the JV level, but he was really good. And no, what he did though was, this is a side story, spike the ball in celebration one time, and the refs flagged him. And I'm like, dude, you've got to understand. Like, he doesn't hear you.
Starting point is 01:44:34 And they're like, I don't give a shit. He's retarded. Not to spike the ball. So they flagged that. But no, at practice one time, We had a quarterback or a quarterback coach, a coach who was probably in his 30s. He was a QB at Bell in the 80s.
Starting point is 01:44:45 He had a fucking cannon. He still had the cannon. And dude, he threw a fade one time where she just wasn't looking. Ball got there first. And I'm talking like a 50-yard missile into the side of this lady's head, right? Sunglasses, visor flies off.
Starting point is 01:45:06 She's laid out. Now, nobody wants to, laugh but you know who does laugh is people who can't hear themselves laugh who might hate this lady and the two deaf kids just are cry laughing so laugh and like none of us really know what to do with it you know she's on the ground you're trying it's the it's probably follow the leader it's probably the funniest thing pound for pound i've ever witnessed in my life like the two of them just celebrating it organic reaction We have a new charge here.
Starting point is 01:45:42 We've kept up with this story out of Godley. Oh, yes. Yeah, quite a hot story here. The chief of police and Godley has been arrested for all sorts of things here. Using official powers to obtain information on citizens in his county and city. There's prostitution charges that he was like pimping out his wife. She appeared on Fox 4. Did I tell you this story, Mike?
Starting point is 01:46:12 She appeared on Fox 4 wearing a Dallas Stars Tyler Sagan jersey and sat down with one of their reporters and was like, I'm not a prostitute. I've never been an escort. But I think people should be able to do whatever they want with their body. Swingers. The issue here was that she was wearing that same Dallas Stars jersey on her escort profile. She was advertising on a...
Starting point is 01:46:34 I've thought about this every day since. It's such a... Like, I've never seen such a, like, because all the words she's using are, I would never, I categorically am not, it's just not. But like, you're looking at the story and you have no option but to conclude, this lady would suck you dry for $100 today. Like, I don't mean this. I don't mean this political at all. But in a way, it's kind of what Trump is able to pull off, where you know that something he's saying is not true or whatever, you know, and he's like, no, I never, whatever. dude she's like he's a great husband he would never do that ever and she's just
Starting point is 01:47:09 what am i going to wear for this interview i know i was wearing when i was advertising myself as a hooker i'll wear my slut uniform and guess what he's not going to say anything about it amazing davidson tender is not going to be like this looks it seemed crazy from from when you were a hooker where are these websites so now here's the update so the uh the chief of police is in trouble Matthew Cantrell, he's been charged with a bunch of stuff, misuse of official information. They say that other cops were hooking up with her and like paying her and yard work. There was a whole scheme. They also seem to have kind of be running a swinger's nest out there.
Starting point is 01:47:48 Well, now the police chief's mom has been arrested. Oh, no. Hey now. You're driving, so I'll let you think that. That's fine. So she was, I guess, employed by the city, and she was using her ability, like, her information access with the city to spy on several people in the city, including a female citizen that had accused her son of sexual assault. Oh, no. So while he was chief of police, he allegedly assaulted a woman.
Starting point is 01:48:26 She was making allegations, and then this guy's mom, this is so far in Smalltown, Texas. Is he very bad? It's awesome. It can happen that quick in a small town. The victim said she felt no alternative but to engage in intercourse with him to stop the unwanted advances. I doubt that's ever the answer. That's one way of doing it. I don't think it is a way of doing it at all.
Starting point is 01:48:58 I think if you're trying to communicate, I will not have sex with you. Having sex with the person never gets that point across. Am I a good dude because I've never thought of like, well, if you fuck me, we can get out of this? Like, am I a good dude because I think that? I do think that that is a baseline being a good dude. I think like 80% of dudes are on the good dude side of that.
Starting point is 01:49:22 I think most of us are on that. Right. There are some dudes that I definitely think. Dirt bagged out that bad, huh? Yeah. Let me try that out. I never, look, I don't think it. But, I mean, if she brought it up, right?
Starting point is 01:49:36 I might be like, all right, now we're talking to dealing. She was like, if there's anything I can do, something. I mean, it's really a very popular plot of movies. It is. Certain movies. Yeah. It is. It's interesting, though.
Starting point is 01:49:50 It's the chicken or the egg. It kind of depends on if you feel like, for a, example, right? Like the Cowboys have a great offense. They've got, they got a lot of talent. Do they need George Pickens really? Right? Like you already have all this other talent. If I'm going to
Starting point is 01:50:04 climax, I'm going to feel super embarrassed and bad afterward, no matter what. So does that mean I should add to it by having someone there who just got out of a crime? Or should I, you see, it's already bad. Do I want to make it worse? Or is it I already feel bad either way?
Starting point is 01:50:21 So does a crime help with post nut clarity? I think it's going to make you feel terrible when she's like, all right, am I off of the crime now? I think the switch is a focus. So you ate a really poor dinner. Chips, queso, fried food, you're going to feel bad anyway. What's a little ice cream going to do? Exactly. You're going to wake up tomorrow regardless.
Starting point is 01:50:44 And you're going to feel bad about the whole day, not specifically the ice cream. Right. It was a shit day. Tiled all the whole day away. I can't imagine. Might as well do it. All right. Fuck it.
Starting point is 01:50:53 I can't imagine getting my mom involved in crime, though. She would. She would. Small town. If someone accused you of something and she had the access to their personal email. There's no doubt. That's why maybe I'm saying I can't imagine getting her involved. Also, what do they mean by looking people up?
Starting point is 01:51:11 Because isn't that a police's job? Well, I think there was like a warrant status that maybe that was not supposed to be accessed that she did. it just sounds like a bunch of small town bullshit, right? Like a bunch of like harassment, using your power to bother people and harass people. So what it sounds like. Why have power? That's kind of what I say.
Starting point is 01:51:33 Every time somebody's jumping Trump's ass about it. It's a small town getting too big for its britches. That's right. Two big for his britches. That's a good one. Speaking of the Trump administration, we do have some good news. I don't know what the name of the guy is. Rodney Scott.
Starting point is 01:51:51 He's the new border czar after the guy that I saw at Great Wolf Lodge or no. Oh, Holman's out? Tom Homan? No, I'm thinking of Greg Bovino. Is that his different title? He is a different guy.
Starting point is 01:52:05 This guy, head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, this is something near and dear to many of our hearts. And it is not putting a damn wall in the middle of Big Bend. And so now, the guy they have, having there now says they have settled on there there won't be a wall there like because they've talked about like literally in san alina canyon there's just a spot where they're gonna but i guess
Starting point is 01:52:33 because of blowback that's not happening that's good that's a spot where i wish dan would visit but turlingua it's not easy to get to turlingua and currently with no wall at lehitas you can hit a golf ball into mexico with a driver yeah and if you put a wall up I'm going to have to hit my, you know, a flop shot with a sand wedge or 60 degree, you know. If memory serves me correctly, it's very hard to simply traverse that area on foot. You're saying sort of like a, it's almost like a wall in itself. Yeah. Well, at some parts.
Starting point is 01:53:07 And if you got through, there's definitely parts. It's near it your language. They do have a, well, I don't even know what they still do, like the annual thing where they all just meet in the river. Yeah. Yeah, they just had it. Dance and party. They just had it last week. Really?
Starting point is 01:53:18 Yeah. Which of the Confederate statues was your favorite, do you think? Pudding Green. Center of the putting green. That's where they moved to what, where I believe from... Oh, you got to put through his legs? The little light goes off. A little happy Gilmour.
Starting point is 01:53:33 The flag starts waving if you make it. He laughs at you when he missed. Succeed. Yeah. You got like an American Indian... a warrior type obstacle course that if you can get through it, we'll take you. You're in.
Starting point is 01:53:53 Bravo. I think in general, that's what you described there as one of my biggest problems with society is like we're already in the macabre like people are being like if we're going to do it, let's do it right. Hoka goes woke, give him an NIL deal for crossing right there. Sure. Put it on government plus. I've been saying for a while

Starting point is 01:55:37 One birthday today. It is, uh, dude, you got three birthdays. Are you reading the fucking sheet or not? On the sheet is, says Monday with one, then it says Saturday, and then it says Thursday. So I'm to assume that the day... Oh, did you do it on your Saturday show or no? So I'm to assume that you put the day...
Starting point is 01:55:58 So you put the day you got the birthday. Why? Why would you add that layer to it? Well, why would you... You're going to read the birthday and you could say this came in on Thursday. We didn't do a show Thursday, remember folks? The top birthday says Thursday. Why am I not assuming that that birthday is for Thursday? Well, we didn't do a show Thursday.
Starting point is 01:56:17 And given that it is a birthday, the date does kind of matter, to Dan's point. You just want to read what happened on any other day in history while we're at it? Well, fuck it. I'll go back to the, here, a birthday from May 1st. Here's JT's birthday from May 1st. Jim and I. That's not the point. We didn't do a show Thursday.
Starting point is 01:56:37 He doesn't care about those customers. So you're not going to read the guy's birthday that sent it in for his show? I'll read it. I'll just, I guess, reorder it. I'll put it down here. This birthday came in on Thursday, May 7th, 1132 in the morning. Dear Leonardo Ducci, today is my best friend and loyal dummy Jeremy Marist Leifal birthday. Now we see what this was about. His leaders are Blake's grasp on addiction and is constant complaining about how tough it is on the weekends while simultaneously having elite scene control during the week.
Starting point is 01:57:06 Bro's a legend. Stay hard, never punt, fire Nico, D.F. Tucker. You ready for Marist off the edge this year? Absolutely. Dude. Unleash him. It's going to happen. Is he dropping back?
Starting point is 01:57:17 Is he coming down hill? Who knows? Hello, Mr. Dan. Please wish a happy 30th birthday to good dude Tucker Harding. He is celebrating by making the turn, hitting him straight, and getting up and down. Happy birthday, dude. His leaders are Blake's understanding of addiction, Jake's understanding of baseball ears,
Starting point is 01:57:35 and Dan's understanding of convenience store robberies. Bless up, Jeremy. And then final one. Dear pitiless punisher of the perineum. My name is John Watts. DBA in the Discord as Texas Donkey Show. You may remember me from such remotes as
Starting point is 01:57:55 Star Power in Addison or more recently Drop Beth's parents' house. Okay. I want to wish my son Matthew James Watts a happy 8th birthday. His leader is Jake calling things gay. That's gay. One of his main goals for this year is to
Starting point is 01:58:11 let the entire world know that his older brother Michael smells like poop. Didn't have to read that part. I'd love it in the sheet. I'd love a name rating from Jake. He shook up now. Michael James Watts? Yes.
Starting point is 01:58:25 That's incredible. I didn't know we were still naming eight-year-olds. That obviously makes me think of the Houston DJ. Oh, Michael Watts. Wow. One dies and the other one appears. It's pretty great. Shout out to the homies in the Discord,
Starting point is 01:58:41 including drop Bethaniel. I don't watch wrestling from John. I have a couple things I want to run by you guys, quick, Blake. You can let that play. I like it. The Dumb Zone presents today in history. I'm just going to shoehorn this in here, Clayton. I have a couple images for you in there because Brick is a big truck guy. I like to take pictures of the trucks I see around town and I send him to my friend T.C. and my friend Jorts.
Starting point is 01:59:16 We have like an epidemic in DFW of guys who have trucks that kind of look like they're in the military, but they're not. Landman. Example of the apocalypse truck I saw. I think this was on the tollway. I'm expecting a snorkel, minimum. What do you guys do with this?
Starting point is 01:59:38 Jesus. How would you describe what you're seeing here? What is the base model of this vehicle? Pays for sex. That's a halo. A godly. Halo ward hog. Doesn't that?
Starting point is 01:59:50 It does look like it's like a video game vehicle. He's got it. And it says Apocalypse. It's rhino lined. The whole thing is rhino lined. Yeah. Here's the thing about short wheel-based vehicles with wide tires. You hit a, and with him being on a highway like that, you hit one pothole at 70 miles an hour, the whole car hits that palt hole.
Starting point is 02:00:12 Yeah, it doesn't feel functional at all. That's a six-wheeler. Is it? Yeah. Okay. That's like the thing that Luca has. It's a Jeep. Jeep chassis.
Starting point is 02:00:25 I do remember with that. A gladiator with a six-wheel. And then the last, the other two I have to show you here, Dan can perhaps participate in this as well as a back-in guy. This is a baseball on Saturday. Now, do you guys obviously, do you see what I see jump out of you here? The police thing? No.
Starting point is 02:00:41 The truck sticking out? The truck. Okay. You got to turn that front camera on when you creep in the parking spot. There's a truck that is halfway hanging out into the drive, you know, the driveway of the, of the parking lot. Go to the next one if you have it.
Starting point is 02:01:00 You can see what happened here is another guy. Another truck guy did the same thing on the other side. It's not a spot. It's not a spot anymore. Hold on. The first truck's long, long bed truck, so he's not going to fit into one spot.
Starting point is 02:01:13 Which is fine. Although he's pulled. I don't love it. I love it. But he's like, you should park at the end of the parking lot, right? You bought the truck. I feel like he should.
Starting point is 02:01:22 You bought the truck, so you have to park at the end of the parking lot. But if you want to do there, how is it possible? that your fucking dummy friend is like, I know what to do. Right. I'll park in the half of a parking spot he left with my 1.3 size car. Because the first truck guy's like, ah, you know, maybe a motorcycle or something could get behind me.
Starting point is 02:01:40 Kia. Yeah. Not a fucking Denali. I'm just like, yeah, I'm going to take a picture. That's insane. Do you ever respect the compact only writing on the floor, though? Primarily just because I'm not sure I can fit. It depends on if you're driving a monster like.
Starting point is 02:01:56 that, like a speedboat, but generally, no, we're not. Compact only is not. What is Compaq? Like, this is something you write on a census for. I don't know what that means. I felt like my previous car was compact. I felt like they were speaking to me, the CMAX. And they probably were, but let's define it.
Starting point is 02:02:12 As long as you don't have a monstrosity, any car can go in the compact. I think youth baseball might be a top-ranked parking asshole location in Perica. Oblivious parking assholes. Unbelievable. Yeah, you know, you've made your bed and that. You have a beautiful home. I know, I know. If you're choosing to live in grapevine, this is exactly the kind of thing you're constantly
Starting point is 02:02:33 begging for. It's a place that you knew was full of these people. It's true. Packed to the gills with these people. I cannot stand the pickup truck owner with the pleather canvas lid over it either. Oh, the top cover. Yeah, like that guy had. So whatever happened there was obviously his fault because he's got the cover over the
Starting point is 02:02:52 doesn't matter. He could have been first. Hey, man, that gets me two more miles to gallon. That's right. All right. Sorry, Blake. Community Mechanical presents on this day in history. Let's see here.
Starting point is 02:03:10 Okay, today, Monday, May 11th, the 131st day of the year, 234 days left in 2026. On this date in 1985, 56 people died when a flash fire swept a jam-packed soccer stadium in Bradford, England. Dan? That's a terrible tragedy. Says here they were just soccer fans. Do they have to put in flash so you don't think that people were dummies? And have you ever heard of smoldering? No, that'll be cool. We should hang out.
Starting point is 02:03:49 We should stand around. I don't want to miss the match. How fast can a fire truly spread? And I know it's bad, but it's also 40 years ago. Yeah, fully wouldn't. Like, how, like a, yeah. If they're not saying explosion, then like you're in the wrong. Right, right.
Starting point is 02:04:07 Explosion that could catch you. There's quite a few folks that looked at that thing. Yeah. And I hope it doesn't keep coming. It did nothing. I don't know. I'm kind of on the attack right now. Provided oxygen to it.
Starting point is 02:04:19 In 1997, IBM's deep blue computer demolished and overwhelmed Gary Kasparov, winning the six-game chess rematch between man and machine in New York. Is there a movie about it? this. It was breaking news in my elementary school. For real? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:04:36 This was big in the elementary school news. The teachers would come in and be like, guys. Uh-oh. It's over. Fucking computer. Can we go home, man? Computers. Computers can do everything.
Starting point is 02:04:50 Dude, I saw some headline this morning that was like, I guess there was there a shooter at Florida State recently? Hard to say. Not since Charlie Ward. It said something like, new information. New information that Florida State shooter used AI to plan his attack and instructed him that multiple students would have a bigger impact. And I'm like, I'm not afraid of you, AI.
Starting point is 02:05:15 Like, no shit. You're not just being pragmatic. Nothing impressive about that at all. It's just being pragmatic. Yeah. And that's the most basic AI I ever heard. In 2003, Raphael Palmero of the tech. Texas Rangers hit his 500th career home run to become only the 19th player in baseball history to reach the mark.
Starting point is 02:05:37 And he did not do it with steroids. I don't think that's true. I'd still like to talk to it. Did it with cocaine. I owe him an apology. I do remember going to one of the games where he was on $4.99 and I took my glove. Oh, really? Boy, if I could just catch this, I'd be rich.
Starting point is 02:05:53 Did he get, what's the word, like, justified? Like, he lied, but he was just under pressure. He didn't really. What was his deal? No, I don't know that he ever really owned it, did he? Did he? He doubled down. That was his thing, right?
Starting point is 02:06:06 In front of Congress. Yeah, he lied under oath or allegedly, right? Like, he just never gave up on it. Did he address it at all? There was that great documentary. Hey, but Will Clark, yeah. What's up? You guys think it's funny about lying under oath?
Starting point is 02:06:23 Like, I don't know. Ooh, the Bible's right there? Yeah. Shit. You did an oath first. And then you lie? Yeah, it is funny when people get jammed up about, you know, the Bible or getting sworn in or something. Or swearing to God.
Starting point is 02:06:38 Yeah. Like, did I do this shit in my slime all the time, brother? I think I won't lie in this courtroom. It's the only place I'm going to lie. Let's see. Birthday's Bobby Witt is 62. And still going strong like this. Playing for the Cubs.
Starting point is 02:06:56 His son's pretty good. You guys who see you who passed away over the weekend? No. Who was it? Our skipper had to go home. Oh, Bobby Cox. He had to go be with Ted Turner. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:07:12 This one's probably not on the list. So I'll give you a new one just in case. But Bobby Cox's domestic violence allegation is uniquely funny because there was a time, kids, when we used to have home phones. And the allegation was he beat his wife with a home phone. phone. Oh, no. Bobby Cox was kind of a wild boy, wasn't he? Big time. Just like Joe Pesci beat Mori from Mori's Wigs with the phone.
Starting point is 02:07:44 I'm pretty sure, dude. Yeah. I'm pretty sure. So she was calling somebody for help and he took her the phone. Yeah, okay. It sounds like it. All right. He was putting in a call to the pen. You know what I mean? Speaking of the bullpen, former Ranger Francisco Cordero is 51. always confuse him
Starting point is 02:08:05 I don't think he's the Frankie that threw the chair okay prop Joe yeah Frankie Francisco right yeah in Oakland okay through the chair
Starting point is 02:08:17 jihad not hold on not the worst thing a ranger's closer has ever done right yeah that's true yeah
Starting point is 02:08:27 boy this is interesting because Matt Bush ran that guy's head over with a motorcycle John Wetland. I'm thinking a wetland. Touched kid. We probably have a nice metal stand, though.
Starting point is 02:08:40 Now, we can definitely take this thing home, 7, 8, 9 if we need to get it to the pen. If Tully let up that fly ball to write. Yeah. That's the worst. He's on there. I actually think if you wanted to do this, that one time Jeremy Jeffers pissed himself at a DUI stop.
Starting point is 02:09:00 Yes, he did. Yes, he did. I could build you a bullpen. People got mad at how often that ended up in tickers. Technically, you can massage Jose Konseko in there. He pitched. Great points. Set up, man.
Starting point is 02:09:13 Cam Newton is 37. Happy birthday. He's a keeper of keeping it real. Walking, talking CTE. He got in a fight like a year ago, two years ago? He had a flag football. Flag football with a bunch of kids. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:09:29 Cool. It's not something I'm proud of. but he's probably my least favorite person alive. Yeah. I swear to God, dude. He might be the most annoying person in that, like, every time he pops up on social media, I'm like, dude, I wish someone would beat the shit out of this guy. I'll say it.
Starting point is 02:09:46 I hate him. I can't stand it. He's the best college football player of all time. There was not a single other NFL talent on that team. And he went to the title. Johnny football would like a word. And look, I love him. He's so much better than.
Starting point is 02:10:01 Reggie McNeil. Mansell. Fredgie McKeever. Timo, come on. He's way better than Tibo. All of the guys you're talking about, we're playing with NFL offense. I think he's great. He's a fun player to watch in the NFL.
Starting point is 02:10:13 Probably at an underrated NFL career. He's also just like he's existing to annoy people. He's compromised. And nobody, and even somebody. People will say something to him like, dude, you don't really. And he just constantly is, like, I don't know what he's doing. I did like him making a word. I do like him making up words.
Starting point is 02:10:34 It's a good bit. Is he the one with the three paintings? Yes. He has three portraits in his home, one of Barack Obama, one of Martin Luther King Jr. And one of Cam Newton. Which you would ask like a middle schooler, like he's good at football right now,
Starting point is 02:10:49 like what's going in your mansion? And those are the things he's choosing. If I got a mention, that's what I would decorate it with. That was exact three. Yes. Matt Leinert is 43. Hot tub. Better college player than...
Starting point is 02:11:03 Cam Newton? Yeah, there you go. Again, playing all on NFL all, like just NFL players all up and down his entire roster. I can't argue with that. Cam Newton didn't play with a single one. He won a title by himself. Gus Malz on, though.
Starting point is 02:11:16 The only time a team's ever been ranked outside the top 25 and then went on to win the title. Because he shows up for one year. Chris Davis would like a word. It decides the entire title for that year. Oh, then I have a good idea. Then that gives him the right to put a bunch of, put a bunch of dumb shit on his head and his wrist and clang around on my phone for the rest of his life.
Starting point is 02:11:36 Yes. Didn't he have a bit about feeding his kids and he doesn't have any kids and he was making 80 million a year? Everything he says. He's just like, I can't see just laying down with a woman for nothing. They're like, you have eight kids with like something. Not that gris. It's just insane. There's just no substance to any of it.
Starting point is 02:11:55 There was a coach that coached for North Texas who coached at Florida when he was there. I'll let you connect the dots on who this is. He said Cam Newton was the worst person he had ever been around. And that was in college. That was before the money. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not, I'm not shocked by this.
Starting point is 02:12:11 Despite these great personal struggles having such an unlikable personality. Yeah. Cody Kessler's 33. USC Browns. Yeah, I was going to say, you could convince Cam Newton to deploy to Iran right now. Like the nation needs you.
Starting point is 02:12:31 Billy Bean is 62. Happy birthday. Hot. Gay one? That's the gay Billy Bean. Oh. James Dolan is 71. There's a guy named there's James.
Starting point is 02:12:46 You're breaking up. No happy birthday of James Dolan. No? One of the worst. Kick Charles Oakley out of MSG. One of the worst. Sacrilegious. Has his band?
Starting point is 02:12:57 What is it called? Rock. Rolling with Dolan. Shane Steichen is 41. I feel like this is for Jake. Sabrina Carpenter's 27. Dan, you're breaking up really bad. Yeah, Sabrina Carpenter, really a huge fan.
Starting point is 02:13:14 Big Sabrina Carpenter weekend in the house. Are we saying that she looks like Young Hillary? Who, is that a thing? Young Hillary was hot. Sabrina Carpenter is hotter than Young Hillary. I like Sabrina Carpenter. Robert in his music, but again, as I've told you guys, I like her especially because I don't really want to have sex with her. She looks too nubile.
Starting point is 02:13:37 Yeah, I would say I don't want to have sex with her, but still would say that she is hot. Yeah. Like, it's not really the same thing. Agreed. Martha Quinn is 67. Hot. Evan Goldberg is 43. He wrote Super Bad.
Starting point is 02:13:49 Hell yeah. Legend. Gold. Mary Elizabeth Ellis is 47 from Always Sunny. A friend. Black China's 38. Hot. Today's rapper birthday, Ace Hood is 38.
Starting point is 02:14:04 I'm so hood! I was trying to remember. He had one song, right? That was it. I'm so hood. And then, and I'm doing my neck. That was T-Pain, the T-Pain era. And Peter North is 69.
Starting point is 02:14:19 Oh, my God. Sixty-nine. Peter North. I wonder what he's up to these days. I was a fan of Peter North for like a decade before I even put together that Peter. North is a pun and his name. Pete North. He probably got to think about that too hard.
Starting point is 02:14:37 I'd like it to be more obvious. He was too smart. Yeah. Yeah. That's his problem. In 19, 2019, TMZ reported that Nadia North was granted a restraining order against her husband following two episodes of domestic violence in June
Starting point is 02:14:52 of that year. He hit her in the face with his penis. You're telling me. That's a bait. Porn star Peter North has a Controversies tab. No way. Born on this day, now dead. Denver Pyle, Uncle Jesse on the Dukes of Hazard.
Starting point is 02:15:11 And Jake? Chang and Ang Bunker. Why Jake? Okay, it's fair. Chang and Ang Bunker owned slaves. A lot of people leave this out of their legacy, but they not only became wealthy landowners and business owners, they both married.
Starting point is 02:15:31 They had several children, but they also owned slaves, which kind of like with the flash flood, I don't know. I feel like if somebody a foot and a half tall can enslave you, has anybody just been like, I didn't own them. They were just here.
Starting point is 02:15:49 They're not a foot and a half tall. They're Siamese twins. Okay, so what were they strapping and otherwise very healthy? They were a six-four Siamese twin. Like, they had to be compromised. physically, right? You could knock them over.
Starting point is 02:16:03 They were each married and they each had like 10 kids. I did know that, yeah. How did it? So much. How did they feel that out? By someone who could knock me, who I could knock on. Is there two badges?
Starting point is 02:16:14 I think so. Well, no, this is a, I mean. Same, same. Yeah, they married the Abby and Brittany of 1870. They just lay there with a nexus point in the middle and they just sort of twist around four of them. But again, I don't care. Did you imagine that having a bad day?
Starting point is 02:16:34 Not tiny or not. There's no way Ang and Chang could have enslaved any of us. How have we never seen Siamese twin porn? Yeah, how does that never... Take some calls. Discrusting. Dead on this day, still dead. Bob Marley.
Starting point is 02:16:51 CIA killed him. Died at 36. Died of irresponsibility, not take care of that toe. Yosemite Bear died on this day. double rainbow guy. Terrible to learn that he's not with us. Oh, yeah, he's been dead for quite some time.
Starting point is 02:17:11 COVID death? However, yes. But however, Justin Bieber recently played that video like at Coachella. That's good. I watch a little bit of his set. You just, oh, my God, oh my God. Oh, my God. He's a friend. Yeah, had him on the next day.
Starting point is 02:17:31 Jerry Stiller. died on this day. That is Arthur from King of Queens. Great in Zoolander. And in 2011, Robert Tractor Trailer. Who won the trade? He won that trade.
Starting point is 02:17:49 It's pretty clear. That was a rhetorical question. Where are you at, Dan? I'm still in West Virginia. You know what? I should get out and show you. I am parked. But you'll be very excited to see
Starting point is 02:18:15 what I'm looking at right here. Can he is that over there? Can I run through here? Can I run through traffic to get there? Can I run through there? Can I run through the parking lot? Let's see. Well, you do that. Let's turn on the camera. Can you see me? Am I here? I'm sure we will soon. Yeah, we will. Yeah. There we go. I don't know if you can see what's behind me there. Let me run over to the parking lot where it all happened. Where it all happened, boys. Cheesecake Factory? I'm at the Cheesecake Factory Parking on. That's it. Wow. That's where it all happens. Are we going to do this or what?
Starting point is 02:18:58 I can feel the energy. Yeah. No, that's good stuff. That's okay, though. See, you can find her jewel. Yeah. Is there a plaque? That field trip brought to you by poncho shirts.
Starting point is 02:19:11 Pancho outdoors. I got a new poncho on today. Huge, huge fan. High quality. High quality shirt. That's a collard shirt you can wear in water. Yeah. I was going to say. No doubt.
