Hello, friends, and welcome to the Dumb Zone. Broadcasting live to tape from high top my garage today. I am Dan McDowell.

I'm Jay K. I'm Blake Jones. V.C. That's right. We are here. We're all here. There is no delay. Shut out, Tom.

There are no things. flying by me in the background. I'm not in a car. I kind of miss the life of the road. I bet you do. There's another person sitting in here besides my CEO and my HR director. Gipp and Bodie. He is a sit-in, and we understand he is here at the behest of Community Mechanical.

Yes. They put an AC in for me last year before Christmas time, or heater AC. blows cold air? That makes more sense, yeah. Yeah. Blows cold air? Cold air when it needs, hot air when we need that. How about that?

That's amazing. Yeah, some of those HVAC companies do it the opposite. Yep. But not community mechanical. Community, what's their website? Do anybody remember that? I do. CommunityDFW.com.

And your name sir is Lewis. Yes. Lewis, did you ever play basketball? Not very long. Okay. No. Just seemed like a basketball guy to me. I don't know, you're taller.

Well, I appreciate that. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Looks like you could get a bucket. I say I'm six foot, but my wife says five, eleven and a half. Why are wives always doing this? Why? Why are we trying to put us down? Yeah.

Why not build us up? We could feel some confidence. Right, they're the one who bought your stock. Why not pump it up? Yeah. It doesn't make any sense. What's the deal with that, man? What's the deal with wives, Lewis?

Well, the community guys, their wives have to walk around and be like, He's only 6-11. Yeah, yeah. They're very, very tall. Did that make you feel emasculated when those guys walked in? No, I'm used to it. Oh, okay. They're 6-10.

These guys are incredible. At Community Mechanical. I'm guessing they're incredible, or else you might not be. They were at my house yesterday. Solid times. You know how society, I got a thing I was thinking of when I've been doing a couple of college visits lately. You know how society will say? say you're a creep all time for stuff that you do.

Yeah, very relatable. It implies that you're a creep. At every turn. So I've decided the way to do it is you need to have kids late. Some are like, boy, you should have kids early, and then you could have the energy to keep up with them, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, I got gameday. Dot dumbzone.com, so we're good there.

Sure. You should have kids, like, didn't Craig Miller wait until he was like 50? Or certainly late 40s? No, I think he was over 50 because I know Danny was over 50 and they were... Really? Same age, yeah. I mean, Danny already had another child. Okay, but if you have a kid when you're 50 or 40s, I think 40s might work as well.

But you know how long it will take for someone to say, she's younger than your daughter? I'm saying if you're watching a video or maybe even you want to date someone. Right. Then all of a sudden you're looked down upon by saying, ugh. This is a- She's younger. But if you have a kid when you're 50, it better take at least 18 to 20 years before, you know, right? I mean, legally, you can't.

That arguably the greatest football coach of all time could have had a kid at 50 and still, at a grandchild's age. It would have been saying. Kids are younger than your day. But there's a line, and you should move the line for the greatest NFL head coach of all time, I believe. I tend to agree. This is Dan's review after he went to college cagger with cornhole. He's like, man, this sucks.

All these chicks are younger than my daughter, but they don't seem that young. Yeah, as I'm doing the walk of shame the next day. I always figured that. Yeah, high heel in my hand. I always figured that you kind of look at your kid, even when they're 23, 24 as younger than if you just met a 23, 24-year-old at work. Do you know what I mean? Because I would talk to, like, George Dunham, and his kids were only a couple years younger than mine, but I had known him in a professional sense the whole time I'd known him. And so it felt like he...

You feel like whose kids are younger? Yours? No, like, I'm saying, what I'm saying is when you have a kid, even though they're getting to adult age, in your mind, you're like, oh, they're a kid. Even if they're, I still think my mom looks at me as I, like, have, like, child qualities. Yes. And so I'm just saying, like, no matter how old, you know, it's just weird. Like, so what I'm saying is you can totally date, like, a 20-year-old. It's not your daughter. It's not, it doesn't matter. They seem young because they're your daughter. Right, right.

As long as they're not your daughter, then I think you're good. No, no, no. She's like an old soul. I'd love to hear the pitch to your daughters, though. That's what Billichick said. Oh, yeah. She's an old soul. That's what David Hasselhoff said. Yeah, she's an old soul who participates in cheerleading competitions on the weekend. With real solid jugs. They're not saying. No, I love that part of it, though.

He makes it sound like she's just listening to Crosby Still, Nash and Young. Oh, she's out on a lake. She's like, no, dude. She's a TikTok star. Oh, and so speaking of, so yeah, I won't get to the exclusive graduation talk tomorrow because I was at another full graduation ceremony and it was the complete polar opposite of the one I was at last week. You won't get to it until tomorrow.

I won't get to it until tomorrow. I don't know what I said. I just want to make sure people know. But I did. It was a good time. My youngest daughter just graduated college from undergraduate. right whatever she's just graduated college

sis cis college you got to label everything and got to hang out with her and her friend so it was fun like me whereas my wife and my other daughter

are like ah too tired it's been such a long day I'm like you know I'm not going to see this girl very much in fact she has declared that her next phase of

life is she's moving to Brooklyn. Dang. And living in some apartment, some dingy, tiny apartment with a few other... Got to take a shot. Aspiring artist of some sort. And yeah, why not? Do it now. Right?

That's what they say. Good luck. But anyway, hung out with them. And so now we're getting ice cream together. I'm just hanging out with her significant other and her best friend. So we're out and they see there is a book sale next to the ice cream place. And it's one of these, I don't know what they have. It's this huge bookstore, but everything is on sale for a quarter of a book.

Or a quarter per DVD or whatever it is, but it's just a quarter. And anytime there's one of these, I like to go in and peruse. You remember the last time? Well, it wasn't the last time, but once I got a whole box like a, kind of that Howe Water box over there or the Lone Star Beer Bot, the whole box full of videotape porn because it was back when the local Plano Road and, I don't know, up there. Yeah. The M Streets is where I lived.

And yeah, anyway, that was great. You can get porn, you know, a hundred videos for one. whatever dollar. So they had some cool stuff on the shelves, cool old books, cool DVDs and whatnot, and I got a couple of presents. I wanted to offer one to you, my friend. My good friend, Blake Jones.

The second season. Some say the best. God, when they hit their stride for sure. Had to explain to my daughter why I'm buying this. And then she goes, well, why are you buying that? That's Blake's. It's his favorite show ever. And then my daughter's like, well, why are you buying that?

And I said, well, this is Jake's favorite show ever. So I got you this, my buddy. Oh, my good friend. Fantastic. We can all review it. Now, this despite they did say this Frazier, complete final season, missing disc four, which is missing the finale. That's okay.

Do you know what I do when I get to that part every time? I have friends over and put on a little show. And we act out the finale. You know it word by word. Yeah, sort of a one-man adaptation. Yeah, Frazier. A show's so good. People forget it to spend off, you know?

So, yeah. I can't think of King of Queens anymore, though, without thinking of Steve Berline thinking it was gay. In that video, he was like, King and Queens. What the fuck? I'm not going to touch that one. Kings of Queens, no. You would be into that.

Well, thank you, Dan. Yeah, thank you. I was thinking a lot about you guys on break. I have a lot of snail mail here, which has been delivered to the den. so we'll get to that in viewer mail today. Can I ask one producing on the fly question? Yeah. Did I tell you guys 12?

I must have told you 1215 for this guy, right? Because that's what you put on the run sheet. Is it 12? Is it cool if it's 12? Yeah, no. Whatever you told me, I did not remember. And I thought, I'll just write down 1215. Hoping that's correct.

Yeah, okay. We'll monitor the situation. Okay, so yeah, we have a guest. What is he called, retro hoopers? Yeah, yeah. Do we need to, well, we don't need to say. set it up, we'll have them on. You'll figure it out then. You'll figure it out. And we have big, oh, before I get to big sports news, do you want to start touching on sports

before this guy comes on? Yeah, let's go. Before that, though, getting today's birthday is ready this morning, and spoiler alert, it is the birthday of Chris Benoit, the wrestler with one of the most major kempsmen you can ever get, right? Yeah, it's a quintessential. Yeah. So the AI overview, though, it gives you that before you click on Wikipedia. The overview. Christopher Michael Benoit was a Canadian professional wrestler who worked for various promotions during his 22-year career. Despite his accomplishments.

He's more generally known for murdering his wife and youngest son before committing suicide. And that's sad to me. Now, this is me commentary. All those accomplishments. All 22 years wiped out by like 22 minutes, if that. That's why people hate the media. Yeah, I mean, just why are we focusing on the negative? But AI, luckily, was able to kind of put it into perspective for us.

Yeah. Yeah, I've told you the funniest T-shirt I've ever seen in my life, pound for pound. Tomorrow's guest, Mikey will be back in. Mike Soroy will be here tomorrow, and this is important because I think there was big controversy on Survivor 50, last night. Yes, indeed. I'm familiar with it. Is he into that?

Oh, yeah, yeah. So I kind of wanted to do it today, but now I'm like, let's just wait on Mike tomorrow. That's still on? It's 50, bro. Yeah, it's 50. Mike Soroy, what were we talking about before, Mike Soroy? Chris Benoit. Oh, his shirt was, Chris Benoit was framed.

Which if you think about the crime would have been. unlikely. Well, I'd like to look into it. Did they even look into it? Sports today brought to us by the new shirt I'm wearing. Puddlepool. Puddle pools. Now, they're not a shirt retail outlet.

You might think, oh, puddle pools. I wonder what kind of shorts they have. No, no, no, no. That's that don't be confused. They actually will help with your pool. And in fact, man, it was glorious to get home after the a two-week driving road trip that I took. And that pool just looks beautiful.

Absolutely. We have some new copy here. We have a review. If you want me to read the review, what's on here. Puddle Pools, this is from DZ or Devin, or in my head, Devon. All right. Puddle Pools is such a great company. Our previous pool boy, my husband, got fired from Pool Duty because it was turning

into a green swamp. Chris Reeves came out the same day to get an initial consultation, get it started. Noah, Ian and Chris. came out every day for a week to turn our swamp into a blue lagoon. Those are hot right now, Dan, that we could enjoy that weekend. He does having Lagoon talk yesterday. Yeah, yeah. It was big on business Wednesday.

On Business Wednesday. Apparently, like, they're promoting lagoon communities, and I'm like, what's a lagoon? I was thinking of lagoon, like a bean. Yeah, that's the vegan. Okay, you've heard of lagoon. It's like water, I guess, but. Yeah. That it is man-made, like a constant level lake.

But they put like a wrap on, it's kind of like a giant pool. Yeah, yeah. It's like. And it's filtered. Yes. And is it chlorinated, I guess? Yes, the different levels, but yeah. Could puddle, like if you had a lagoon, what is what makes a lagoon and not a pool?

It's probably size and I also feel like like undulations, right? There are under the, they pretend there's. Beach. Yeah, yeah. It may be even in the middle of it. They put actual sand? Where it goes up. Some of the more fancy ones have sand.

But even then, the sand is on like a concrete, sport courty type thing. They're pretty sweet. Well, if you own a lagoon. No doubt. I would call puddle pools. They do commercial. They're DFW. What?

They do commercial, I'm saying, yeah, for sure. Oh, okay. Yeah. So puddle pools, they're one of our new sponsors, but they're great. They're kicking ass. Puddlepools.com slash Domzone. Yeah, go there and they will treat you right. Tell them to your Denzo.

We're here. Puttlepool. It's got water we can clean it. Puddle pool. If I say that then I mean it. Puddle pool. I said sell on the dingy. Puttle pool.

Wait, I meant to say dingy. Putterpools.com slash dumbzone. The dingy thing haunts me a little bit. The dingy thing? Yeah. Because you start thinking of how many other times I said it that way and nobody said anything. It had to have been dozens. See, this is why your friends should be the biggest assholes in your life.

Right, round off the edges. You know, we're telling, we're trying to help you. I appreciate it. Trying to help your show. Preach. Jason Kidd is fired. Don't know if I saw this coming. I didn't.

I really didn't see it coming, but I got to tell you. it makes me like the new GM a little more. Oh, yeah. That he just walked in here. Now, sometimes you would say, man, this ain't cool because he just wants his own people and his own, like he's not even giving it a good look. Been through this before.

What do you mean? Nico didn't want anyone from the previous regime around. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I mean. Yeah, but this one feels better. Now the enemy of my enemy is my friend. No, I mean, that's exactly what we were saying when this happened was that obviously Dumont doesn't know what he's doing.

And so that's why he was able to get hit as a mark a little bit. And someone like Nico was able to run a little game on him. And kid is certainly part of that. He still doesn't know what he's doing. Right. So he's just got all the money in the world. So he's like, all right, we're going to spare no expense. He started talking to people and they're like, who's like a famous GM guy that you could pay $15 million a year to?

And they're like, there actually is a guy. and you will have to pay him that much. He's like, I don't, whatever, make him in charge. Right, we've dug our hole so deep. Yeah. And like even Ricardi, Matt Ricardy, who's a local guy, he's been in the league for a long time. I think he was with the Nets before here.

His brother-in-law, I think, was a big listener when we were back at the tickets. I used to hear about just his journey along the way. He'll be fine. And he probably would have been a nice addition to the front office, but they just are like, we're done. It doesn't matter who you were. They cleaned everybody out. And on top of that, something that we didn't talk about that I thought you would think was pretty cool is, you know,

Maasai Ujiri, in addition to being an alternate governor, which I guess just means you have to go to meetings. I assume you get paid more. I'd really love to find out if he has any ownership in the team, but that'll be for another day. But in any case... Because that's what he wanted with Toronto, didn't he? Yeah. Yeah, maybe Washington, too, he asked for it. But, he has a GM, right? So he's got a guy, and it's a guy named Mike Schmitz. And Mike Schmitz, up until 2022, was a guy that was an Internet scout who, on his own dime, would travel the world and started at Draft Express with a guy named Jonathan Gavoni. And they kind of became in their early mid-20s, eventually ESPN hired him in maybe 2017.

or 18, I think bought Draft Express, but these guys are just grinding the whole world. Europe, China, Africa, obviously the college is here. There were years where, you know, for two months getting ready for the draft, I would just have a window on my computer open that was just 40 Mike Schmidt's tabs. And now he's the GM of the Mavs. In 2022, the Blazers hired him to do something, right? Some level of basketball ops job. but that's pretty cool too.

It's pretty outside the box. But to your point of being surprised about it, I am not surprised at all because kids' whole deal here, you know, once you knew that he had tried to get the job, right, the only chance they were going to have maybe of him staying around as if Ricardy or Finley got the job.

And he could still kind of push that person around. But I think now Dumont knows what kid is. He's now hip to the idea of like, this guy, you can't leave him alone. He'll try to take over.

And he was tied with Nico. Tied with Nico, tied with, you know, hell, Cuban to an extent. So I wasn't surprised. The second they hired Messiah,

was like, this guy, if they're smart, they'll cut their losses now, and he'll take his $40 million, I think. Because they signed him last year. That's another thing that Dumont has to deserve some level of

credit for is we're just bleeding this effort now. This is kind of what you would have won if you're an angry fan is like, I know you just sign this guy to a contract. Which bothers me. Here's what bothers me. I'm upset that they got Cooper Flag in a sense. Just because

this guy just walks in here, he's a dunce, you know, he's hoodwinked, whatever. I don't care though. Dumont. He should have done a little more homework on this. He's a clown. And it bothers me that he was handed. Okay. Even though you effed everything up here, here you go.

This is a good place to start. Like, it's the hardest thing to do in all of the NBA is to land one of these guys that you say I can build around this. And you know it right away. We had one. One, Dirk was not that. Dirk became, you know, Dirk. Like, LeBron, like, there's very few guys.

Steph Curry wasn't that. No, Shaq barely is that, right? Like, the guy that he thinks is... Well, I mean, when you... Shaq was the number one overall, draft pick. If you drafted Shaq, you were like, I got one of the guys. I can build around. I'm going to make a... I guess that's true. I was just thinking of his list of names, but...

But I'm just saying the fact that you get a guy, that's the hardest thing to get. One of the easiest things to get is building around that. Yet Dumont somehow believe that Nico's trades around Luca were the key to the championship. Not the guy who let the entire NBA in points rebound in the playoffs. So it bothers me there. And then it also bothers me that he has... has unlimited funds. They have, right? The billions that they have,

they could own multiple NBA teams. Yeah. And so... Just that bothers you just because there's like no way for them to feel it? Yeah. Like he's, now it's great

as a Dallas fan and a sports it's great what he is doing now. Because yes, like you said, he's opening it up. As much money is it cost, we're going to get the best guy. And then the best guy, you do whatever you need to do. You need to make me eat a $40 million coach conch?

I'll do it. But get me, now I want the best everywhere. So that's great. Right? Yeah. But I would have liked to see him say, I spare no expense. Yes, of course we're going to pay him the Supermax. I don't care that he doesn't talk to me.

What players would talk to me? I'm 50 years old and these guys are in their 20, you know? But he didn't do that. So that's, I mean, it's still an egregious thing. He did kill his wife and kids and then committed suicide. I can't, you know, I can't now look at these accomplishments and be like, oh, these are great. No, I hear you. It still hurts, but it's really interesting.

I'm, you know, am I back as a fan? I don't think so, but I'm closer. Well, you've got to try to just think of it through the terms of what's your objective. And if they hadn't gotten Cooper flag, could you sell yourself on the idea like, well, maybe he would have sold the team? sooner. Maybe that would have sent them because, dude, look at their picks now. That's one thing they were asked about yesterday. If they didn't get Cooper Flagg, they were so fucked. Yeah, if they had to 13th pick last year? Yeah. And then the whatever, ninth this year. Yeah. And then they don't control their own pick again until 31.

Well, they probably wouldn't have traded Anthony Davis. And that doesn't mean they're not. That's true. F'd, but they'd be saddled with a year older Anthony Davis. It would be so much worse. It would be so much worse. And so if you think that would have meant that maybe he would have sold the team quicker, but I don't know that that would have happened. So now you just still have the owner you hate and they suck really bad. So the way I'm doing the therapy to myself is like that if he's going to own the team and they have they do have enough money to where they're never even going to feel it, then you have to buy me new shit every summer because you killed my parents. And I want

a pool. And I want you, I want to slide in my house that goes to the pool. And I don't ever want to think about it again. I want to spare no expense. And so, you know, who knows to the extent they'll carry that out. But I also think there's just the fact that Jason Kidd is a bad person. And in having him in the mix at your office, the more time you have to figure out how that's going, it's going to become apparent that it's problematic. And so I think independent of Luca getting traded, Kid would have had an expiration date. I always thought Luca would have another one or two coaches.

You know, he'd play here for another 12 or 15 years. Jason Kidd certainly would piss people off enough to be gone at some point. But didn't think it happened like this, you know. But there's some good audio from the press conference yesterday. But we don't have a ton of time to play any of it now. So maybe we just keep it for after the guest. Why is he here? No, but it's like four minutes from now.

Or do you just want to start? Yeah, let's start and we'll pick it back up. It's just basketball stuff. I thought that just right out of the gate that this was a pretty interesting way to characterize it. You know, in his last press conference, Ujiri said, you know, I want to bring calm. So he's kind of acknowledging like, hey. I get it. And we will start that process.

We're going to be intentional. We're going to be bingo, by the way. Intentional? Yeah. Everybody's doing intentional. I really dig into the philosophies of the kind of players we have and how we want to build around a player like Cooper Flag. And it's weird too, and it feels bad to.

to laugh at his accent because it feels like you're being xenophobic or something. It's just fun. It's just fun the way. How we want to build around a player like Cooper Flag. I like this one. I think, you know, when you look at, when you gather information, you know, I don't want to put blame on anything that I do in making this decision. And a lot of the conversations I had with Jason, you know,

I think will stay between us. For me, it was really thinking about the future of this team, the structure, maybe taking a lot of information, and all like of some of the things that I think were beneficial to build a team. And being transparent with everybody, I think a new slate was a good way to look at this, because I feel

I feel sometimes in this organization, we needed kind of clarity in where we're going, rather than sometimes lots of things in the mix. We need to literally work in one direction and how we build this team and how we create winning. And that's kind of how I looked at it, just going forward and building winning. So on the boss, there's no question about that. Who's in charge here? There's not going to be a trade made. And then the coach is like, I'm not going to play that guy because I wanted a different guy or free agent signing. Cuban is back in this month.

You're not going to eat Javelle McGee's contract or Christian Wood or whatever. We're all going to be on the same page here. We're going to work together, actually. We're actually going to, you know, not. Maybe not I'm the iron-fisted boss, but we're all going to be on the same page, and we weren't all on the same page. And you could probably, if you wanted to be fair about it, say that that traces back before Dumont, right? I mean, the difference is that the chaos before had the backstop of Cuban being in charge. Yeah.

But obviously, there was always wild shit going on, where Donnie's, like, can't get a hold of him, but he's, is he in charge this week? They tried to hire Gerson Errosis. The difference is the backstop of Cuban being in charge. That's what he wanted. He wanted intense. He wanted personalities. Tech company style. Yeah, yeah.

He wanted that. Whereas this guy, it appears, at least right now, it feels like he wants something different than that. And see, that's where the bomb, we've talked about it. Cuban had this, but then when Cuban left, Cuban's not, Cuban was the ringleader. Cuban was he had five different guys that were part of being a GM. You know, this guy would do this. This guy would do this. And that's what I think he's year is saying is like, hey, you know, it's been for a while now.

We've kind of needed it. And even over the last couple of years, like, I'm like, what is Michael Finley's job? So he got a co-GM with Finley and a co-GM with Ricardy. But Nico at some point was still there, and those guys were under him. But Cuban is occasionally like, hey, I'm helping out with. The draft, like he's Bill Clinton popping in. I'm here to negotiate the draft. It's just been weird.

And look, Cuban's still here. Now, I imagine the next thing that will happen is that trigger in the deal that allows them to buy him down to, like, what is it? It's like 7% or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's like about to happen. Absolutely. And then when it will, when it does, I just don't know how much you're really going to hear

from him on stuff related to the Mabbs. Yeah, him at all. But it wasn't that long ago, dude, that he was still... It's like three months, four months ago. He's back in a mess. He's back. All right, let's see. Let's keep going here.

What do we got? Do you have that little clip I liked? I do. Let's fast forward to that. It's around here, I think. I heard those things. I discussed with Jason, and he was incredibly... And Ron Arad, DLS Sports.

Hi, Ron. That's not it. Is it? It's one more ahead, maybe? to how I was thinking of this because even if it was the other side where he was staying here, I would have been very comfortable, you know, like with Jason, especially after the two weeks I had with him. We had an incredible time really communicated and came to this decision. Let's see.

No, well, I'll just tell you. Mike, Ducey, fuck. No. It was, he was asked. Did you consult with, like, the players, like Kyrie and Cooper Flag, really? And he said, you know, not really, like, certainly talk to everybody and took things into consideration, but this isn't because I talk to the player, you know, this is all me. And, oh, no, no, the question then was, do you have someone in mind? Have you had an interview yet?

Have you talked to anybody? Do you have a list? of guys that might be the next head coach. His answer was, I think that would be disrespectful to Jason Kidd to have talked to anyone else or even have someone else in mind. I don't.

And in my head, I'm like, that is way more disrespectful because you're saying, I don't know who's out there, but I know it's got to be able to find better than you. Like, you're so bad that I don't, I don't believe that he doesn't have anyone in mind. He's been in basketball for a long time.

You've got to have at least something. Yeah, I'm sure he does. But I also think there's something to what you're saying, though. It ain't like there's a bunch of names out there that people are falling all over themselves for. I think they're just taking the field versus dealing with you. That is way less respect. You're definitely right. Then if he said, you know what?

I mean, you know, if you got divorced from your wife because you were sleeping with your secretary. Right. But if you just say, no, I'm not seeing anyone or anything. I just don't want you here. Like, wouldn't she... You would think she'd feel worse about that. And that's what Jason Kidd is right now. You just divorced your wife and said,

not because I see anything better, I just see not you. And that's what the Mavs see. I love it. I don't have this mark, so we'll see what it is. It's going well anyways. No luck on guest. He's there. Oh.

He just doesn't have video on. Oh, that's fine. Yeah, okay. I had no way. I did not know. Well, before we do guests then, and we'll get back to this, let us mention a sponsor. Oh, how about Fair Lease? Fairlease Navidad.

Fair lease, that is our leasing company at fairlease.org. They got a little drop-down menu there. You click on the dumb zone. They just put a pretty good friend of mine, an NFL kicker, into a new vehicle as well. Hey, now. They have helped out plenty of our business partners as well, helping them equip their fleets. Community Mechanical, who sent our sit-in here today, actually had a few trucks. They were leasing with D&M leasing.

And they said, you know what? After the D&M lease runs out, we're going to go look into Fair Lease. Fairlease said, well, let's look at that lease right now. They actually made it so economically, like it's so much better for them. They bought them out of their D&M lease. They're now leasing all of their vehicles through Ferryllis. Fair lease. Kick the extra point with Fair Lease at 972-705-4815 and ask for Connor or Nick.

They'll handle all of our Dumb Zone customers. I got a better tag here. No, you don't. Nobody can ever have a better tag. Kick a 60 yard, an extra point. It doesn't roll off the tongue like that, though. You know Blake cannot kick an extra point. Let's not act like that's just happening.

I'm putting my money on Blake. Look at that mustache. His dismissive miss makes me want to kick it. I'll do it. Kick the extra point with Fairlease at 972-705-4815 and ask for Connor or Nick. All right. Joining us now on the Fair Lease hotline. It's a human.

I actually have no idea any other identifying qualities. I was going to ask you his name. At Retro Hoopers on Twitter. Retro. Hello. No? We tried. It's okay.

Hello? Hey, hello, sir. there we are. How's it going? How would you like me to refer to you during this interview? You can call me retro. Okay, retro. All right. So Retro, you run an account on Twitter. You're an NBA fan. You run an account on TikTok. And how old are you retro, just so we can get an idea? Well, I would, I'm in a little bit of some trouble here just based off like people online don't like me. So I would prefer to stay in it. stay anonymous if that's okay but um i'll give you a i'm i'm under the age of 20 uh i could tell you that if um okay yeah yeah yeah i'm just trying to put it in context right like so i'm over four yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i love your show by the way oh right on cool thank you for checking it out

uh so so i'm 40 we got a guy here's like 35 dan has daughters who are uh just graduating college but like there's an entire genre right of like tell them i said congratulations we will we'll pass that long retro um like tic-toc edits dan like this there's an entire genre there's just 50 like i almost feel like this goes back to and you're not going to know what this is retro but almost like girl talk of just insane mashups of pieces of media that don't normally do not go together and uh they'll they'll they'll get they're very popular for sports right and it'll be there's one for like Alex Caruso that features his headband that is like cancer based it was some kids TV show with like a sad moment it's the funniest like funniest concept and you're like these kids are

fucking geniuses like this is just yeah it's incredible editing work and so um I'll give you an example of one of those Clayton we'll play um the Ted one the Clay is gay one and I'll give you an example here of Retro Hooper's work. And then for the audio, we'll just kind of try to narrate and you can figure it out. Wait, what do you mean? You watch Blunt? Uh, no.

Got a guy from my school did mail me a photo of his dick last semester. Oh. I even shot it in sepia time. Wait, so it was like all old-timey? Like, this penis is a dust bowl orphan? You want the kicker? It was flaccid.

Wait, so he didn't even do the work? Nope. Just a flaccid dick with a fancy filter. Now it's just... Highlights of Clay Thompson just bawling out. And shots from Facebook. Instagram. Okay.

Yeah, just incredible work. It is incredible. Yeah. I appreciate that. Just the time, yeah, the bad must take. And really, yeah, it really is. But this thing is very well excelled beyond just myself because it's, to be honest with you guys, it is a trend.

And, you know, just people trying to spread the message about Clay Thompson. And it's really not just one guy. It is a trend. Okay. Is it all about Clay Thompson's gay? Like, that seems to be the underlying. Okay. And so you're doing this for fun, right?

It's fun. It's funny. I would say partly, but, I mean, it's more so to spread the word. Awareness. to enjoy this. Awareness. Yeah, exactly. It's a journalist.

It's a necessity. Yeah. Okay. No, I didn't know, though, if it started as more fun and once you've been issued a cease and desist. Let's get to that. Okay. Yeah, yeah. So you're just doing these things like every day, right?

That was your bit? Yeah, I mean. Before the cease and desist. Correct, yes. Okay. And it was like every day I'm doing a funny video. Now, were there any other videos on your TikTok? Insinuating the time.

Clay Thompson is gay. Were there any other types of videos on your TikTok, any other types of NBA edits or edits at all? Were they all clay is gay focused at the time? It's really just clay. Okay, yeah.

Singular focus. Why not? Laser in. So at that point, yeah, you're posting the videos every day and then you are in the video we just showed you could see some of the background images

were like a legal letter, which we're all too familiar with here. So what is the point at which you were contacted by someone about these videos and these edits? So probably around a little over a month ago, I had made a couple of these edits and they had garnered millions and millions of views not intentionally. You know, I was never the follower count, the views amount doesn't really bother me. It doesn't affect me. Love of the game. Yeah, in the past.

Yeah, love the game. In the past two months, it's garnered 175 million views on my TikTok. But yeah, so I had received, and that's the scary part. I have no idea how Coy Thompson and this legal team got my address or my name, but they had sent me a cease and desist. And I felt it was only right to piss on said cease and desist and then put it in the edits. Literally, Dan. Oh, yeah? Okay, I haven't seen that one.

Yeah. Yeah. Very, right. Are you familiar with the movie Major League retro Hooper? Somebody may have told you about this. There's a scene in that movie where a major, a ball player, a baseball player, wipes his ass with his contract. No, he's on it.

He drops it in front of him. Okay, I thought there was like a taint type situation to it. But okay. Yeah. So did you also in conjunction with pissing it like contact a lawyer uh yes i do so i do have a lawyer um shout out set set i he is uh helped me through everything yeah set if you're watching this i wouldn't be here without you i appreciate everything you've done for me yeah our lawyers are great too so so they they then

try out you're a lawyer too shout shout him out yeah we had a whole squad we had all lawyers most of them yeah shout out it's lawyer lawyer thursday here For Clay's. Oh, the dumb zone. Yeah, except Clay's lawyer. So now, did you have to do some sort of like, you know, like a hearing or like a testimony? Did you have to get on a Zoom? What happened next?

So I then received another cease. And then I did the same thing because I just ignored that the first one. And then after that, I received a notice. I received a notice that I think I still have that once Yeah yeah your kids are going to want that Yeah I received a notice and that I had to It was it's more it was a private

It was I think they didn't want There was like a remediator and it wasn't a It wasn't like they didn't want to file anything publicly I guess right so yeah Mediation Remediator yes correct yeah yeah oh we did plenty of this yeah and then um but shout out set he uh he did his thing for me and um i'm i have a huge announcement i'm currently i'm currently working with

set now to see if there's a way that we can sue colla oh get it get it back the counter suit get it back the counter suit you know i feel like you know who you sound like to me you sound like a guy who might have suffered a little bit of emotional harm. Yeah. Yes. Retro. Well, I can hear your voice, dude. I'll testify.

Totally. It's shaking. Yeah, no, I'm sorry for what you've been through. Thank you. And, of course, you know, we're talking right now to Retro. And when you don't, like in our experience, when you don't cease. Yeah. Or desist, they tend to get pretty mad.

Yes. What we did, we did not urinate on the thing. That's an interesting move. And in fact, probably a better move. We just read it as part of our viewer mail bag. That's a good move. Yeah, we got viewer mail. And then they brought that up in court.

Yeah. Like, they mocked it. They didn't even think this was real. That is funny. Okay, so that means that if you're moving on to some sort of a counter, so you guys must have prevailed in some form. in mediation. And I've also seen that you've continued to post videos where that's implying the client Thompson is gay. So you obviously won the day, right? I saw you. So yeah. Yeah. Well,

originally before we had that in-person remediation, there was, as I received a letter saying that we had reached an agreement and I thought that this whole thing was dropped and we were done with it and so I continued to make edits but apparently I was I was wrong on that it was it would have been dropped and they would have forgotten about it if I stopped making edits so there was a little bit of a miscommunication so that's why I had to go to the remediation um but yes we we did um we did prevail we did one all of us actually now we go ahead no no I just didn't know if you were you probably knew you saw Megan the Stallion leaving Clay

coming from a mile away right you know you knew that was a yeah not a surprise yeah if I had a guess yeah I think that she she had found something in his phone honestly about and I think this

has had encouraged her to look through her man's phone and find this out and she found out something retro hooper's caused incidentally of celebrity breakup. You heard it here first. That's why people are mad at him. Well, she was just his cover.

A beard is what we called it in our day retro. Yeah. Yeah. A beard. I mean, we all knew he was he's been gay this whole time. It's nothing wrong. We're not homophobic. You know, we're not I have nothing against gay people at all. I love gay people. It's, I just wanted to

let people know about Coy Thompson. It feels like you're trying to help him. Just live his truth. Live his truth. Yeah. He's my favorite player. Yeah. Josh Giddy. Yes. Josh Giddy.

He was involved in this as well. He had posted an Instagram story with one of his fellow players and teammates. And he had called us out, actually. He posted a photo of, I believe it was Bobon eating eggs. And he said, me next. So we all of us actually decided to make. some Josh Giddy edits, implying that he was gay,

and then he had DM'd me asking me to stop. Wait! What a sis. Why did he? I thought he wanted it. He asked. I know. And did you stop?

It's for awesome. I made a couple more. No, I put that screenshot in the edits as well. But I felt like it was right to get back to Kui. That's the whole point of this, you know. Right. Don't get distracted. Man.

Yeah. Can you do one of these for me, Blake? can you i want to be gay i'm not as talented as retro i will i will do that today i will uh i will do that we would be honored that would be so awesome we would be honored that would be the greatest thing ever yeah well uh what's your handle on tictock we want people to go give you a follow garner more views i appreciate that it is the

the same as my twitter except it's uh instead of z uh o's it's zero so it's retro hoopers but the O's are zeros. Some other poser has your O's? Yeah, somebody, I couldn't get retro hoopers with the O's. They're not pushing in the work you are, though. You live in Dallas? Correct. No, I do not.

I mean, I'd like to stay anonymous if possible. I live in New Jersey, though. I'd love to know how Clay. Shout out to Clay's lawyers, though, for finding out who you were. Dude, you know what it is, too. Clay's probably name searching it every day. every day. It's the clay pack. It really is. It's clay pack and you know, the... You have a name for it and it's clay pack?

Well, there's... They do control. They control the media I've heard. They do. They are. It's a... It's clayed off and the clay pack, the clay towel. Yeah. Howan Thompson, the Luna Clay D. It runs deep. Well, retro. This has been a pleasure. You're the best, man. I'm talking to you guys as well. Good times. Anytime you ever need anything from us.

Yeah. I appreciate it. Come this way. Hopefully, Clay doesn't see this. You guys may get another fan mail. Well, we know what to do with them. We'll see you. As you know, it's good for numbers.

Have a great day. All right. You too, bud. There goes. Retro Hoopers. How about that? Viewer Mail time. Oh, yeah.

oh that's I'm sorry I should have been more clear how's that so good I would have done the same thing I don't know he said unplugged

yeah not bad we're good all right we are indeed good gummy thoughts from Corey a mother who identifies as a father

and practices open and honest communication is a transparent, transparent. Goodness. I like it a lot. Brandon, gummy thought. I'm just doing gummy thoughts for a minute. Sure. I was recently at an event

where there was an American sign language interpreter. This got me thinking, is there a Mexican sign language? China? Italy, Russian? Certainly, there's a deaf population in different countries, but is America the only one that has figured out how to communicate with those people. That's from Brandon, day one. Okay.

It's fascinating. There is a Mexican one, it looks like, because I looked this up. China has one. It just seems like if they could get all in the same pain. it would really save everyone a lot of time. But wouldn't that seem like that just for humans in all language? Yeah, but it's scale, right? Like there's so many fewer people who are deaf that you could maybe implement it.

And that's why I'm not saying you would round them all up and put them in one place. But if you did, they would immediately have the ability to communicate, or quickly, better than they ever would anywhere else in the rest of their lives. So, I don't know. I was surprised. I just assumed... Yeah, there's an internet. Like, braille, is that international?

Boy, I don't know. That's a good question. You would have to think. Didn't we have a fake one? Did you burn your fingers on the Spanish braille's little jalapeno? I'm sorry, what, Clayton? Did we have Spanish braille? No, didn't we have a fake sign language at Nelson Mandela's funeral?

We've had a couple of them. I thought one of them was. COVID. Tampa, this Tampa police one was really famous. Yeah, there's one on Mandela. Good pull, Clayton. Um, I think this is an important email because it makes a distinction between something we like joking about, which is a why Hillary lost, which is kind of just like, uh, why, when people, things that became so annoying that you're like, eff it. I'll try the other guy. Like, uh, is your tomato racist? Um, this one, it's an important thing to note. It's not always gay not gay.

Because Ryan points out one, this is a classic, he said he heard it on a Ricky Jervais podcast. You're on a trip with your buddy, you're each staying in your own hotel rooms. One invites the other over to watch a game. Is it weird if the two bros are both sitting on the bed to watch the game instead of one in the bed and one in a chair? Ryan says if it's my bed or my room and I'm on the bed, I don't think it would be weird if my bro got on the bed with me, but if I was invited, I'm going straight for the chair. And that has nothing to do with the election.

That's just... Then all of a sudden, I'm reaching for the popcorn, and he is, and then we kind of... Your feet kind of rubbed a little on accident when you get up. My foot is just kind of laying on yours, but nobody moves. We both very conscious of it. There is a blanket. We might as well while we're here. Let's answer that age-old question.

Could guys do it better? They know. They're used to playing with it. I remember one time, I was trying to think back, like, Davy and I a couple times, speaking of pre-game and pre-post, whatever, and he would, you'd go, you'd get the chair. You know, we'd put on whatever, like, game or whatever we'd get the chair. I'm always sitting in the chair, but I'm homophobic, like Tim Hardaway Senior. This is from British Joel.

He comes out hot with, you need to lend your daughter to Dan. to finally allow him to get a foul ball. So he gets into the cheat code here of using your kid for a foul bowl. Because Dan famously has never caught a foul bowl. I used to bring my mitt to every game, too. Yeah, I mean, I probably did it five or six times when I was five or six. Blake, I see you as bring a mitt guy. Yeah.

Like even in your 30s. You ever bring a mitt? No, I can catch. Okay, so tell me if this counts. Does it count if you take the kid and the bat boy is over there on the foul ball, like the foul line and he's just throwing balls out to the crowd as he shags him. Does that count as getting, would you count that? No.

Okay. I need a major league. Actually, as a kid, though, I would not sit in foul territory. Need a playable ball. I wanted a home run. I did not want a foul ball. A purist. Have I told you that?

You were going to throw it back, right? It fit by the other team. Yeah. I was so excited to do that. I love that. I went to batting practice. I think we were there for the home run derby, but a bunch of the stuff around the 96 All-Star game except for the game.

And I almost got Cal Ripkins' autograph. Like it was first baseline. There was probably 50 kids. We were 3D. I got to the front, handed it of the ball, and he just handed it to another kid after he signed it. Oh, what? He took off. He's not looking, dude.

How big for you? I was crying. I was like crushed, crushed. And that's kind of, that's my bane origin, my Joker's story. Yeah. Like on autographs. Swine line. Remember the swine line?

Mm-hmm. Perveyor of Poon. This is from Harry. I find it a travesty that Holly Road did not make the inaugural class. of the swine lines. Good one. I think she's the only one to be on the Roseanne Bar and the swine line. Yeah, it's like...

It's prestigious. Someday we'll be at like an eGOT. We've got to keep rounding it out. Not only could she have been a first ballot, she should be on the potential Mount Rushmore. Yeah. If this bit lasts more than a couple episodes. Speaking of that, anchor words.

This is women who look like Miss Piggy, if you didn't just say it, you might have. I did not. Respectfully. Right. We think Miss Piggy's hot. Let's just slow down. No doubt.

Someone thinking, that's why we even think calling it this, it's a little, you know? Yeah. It's a negative. It implies a negative, but I got to tell you. It's also a vibe they're putting out. Because Miss Piggy was DTF. Up for anything.

Yeah. Like Holly Roe? No doubt. We're having fun. I've been in Hawaii covering the whatever classic. Okay. Anchor word prodigal. Pradigal.

Son. That's good. Nobody has a prodigal daughter, huh? He says want. Patriarchy. As in blank is want to do something. Oh, yeah. That's a weird one.

That is. That's from Scott. It feels like that's one you, There are certain words you only use, like, they're skateboard tricks to show people you can do them. I feel like want to do is one of those wanton violence. Is in that category. Can I give you my snail mail? Sure.

While we were gone, some of this is going to you guys. I guess starting with puddle pools, they delivered us some sweatshirts and shirts. I think you might be able to get some of these out at the DZGSE as well. Puttlepool.com. Dumbzone. I may have told you somebody sent me a bunch of canned fish, so thank you. A lot of people are into the canned fish. Look all that.

And I certainly am. Yeah. Philip Kingston hooked you up the other day. The sardine is back. Look at that variety. I know. Yeah. I'm usually just sardine guy.

It's mackerel in there. I don't even know what mackerel is except for. something after you say a word. There's an anchor word, yeah. And pass this around, in fact. Oh. If our sit-in would like some Brewer's gear. Did you see who was on the hill last night?

Mizorowski? No. What do we got in the brewer's gear? Just a bunch of new hats and stuff. It is time for us to book Kyle Harrison again. Oh, yeah, dude, he's been great. Dealing. Dealing. Like 10 strikeouts. Z or whatever.

I think he's on the injured. Oh. Yeah. But. And then I got this from Stu. Who said, Stu pot. For your recent grad, now this is Stu, who we know from Rivian.

Yeah. And where does he work now? C4. C4. C4. C4. So C4 is one of these. It's an energy drink, but before it was an energy drink, I knew it as a pre-workout.

Yeah. Like something. that you would drink before you went to the gym. It'd make you want to claw your ears off. It's a peak prime pre-workout. Okay. It makes you feel crazy. Well, they got marketing money.

Oh, yeah. FIFA, yeah. I'm going to show you this and say, what the hell are they doing? Kick an ass, I bet. So he said this is for my recent grad. Let me get this box out of a box. So there's a box in a box.

How many times have you seen this? So this is the... C4 energy box. Graduation hat. But it's in this form of a giant graduation cap. That is the most energy drink piece of merchandise I've ever seen. Take this off and I don't know if we'll be able to hear the audio. Okay.

Audio? When you... Oh, it was singing the graduation song earlier. Oh, there it goes. Can you hear that? Yeah, yeah, a little bit. Do it again? So you open this giant box of C4.

Here it is. Here's the gown, the sash or whatever. They locked up clockboard for less. That goes around the gown. And then what do we have here? This is like a champagne bottle of C4. Oh, my God, dude. That's sick as hell.

If that's actually full of C4, I will... I think it is. Summer event. The funny these people have. Crazy. I'm sure she's... I can't wait. for you to give that to her.

Oh, sorry, buddy. Is there anything? How do I turn it off? Look at Lewis. Got a nice brewer's hoodie. Yeah, he did. Look at all that, man. I love the brewers.

Uh-oh. I don't know if I can turn it out. Oh, no. Close the box all the way. Uh, let's see here. You got 300 milligrams of caffeine in this bad boy. Not enough. Yeah, it's too much.

It's called half time. Guys. Half time. This is a full. on one. I think we should go see the Michael movie. Michael? Oh, Michael Jackson, yeah. Yeah. My parents were big fans. Ziteguite-wise.

Fans of the movie? Yeah. Can't turn that shit off. Okay. I think I turned it up. So it's back in the news, the entire Michael Jackson story. Avery said it was in a recurring HR meeting today. This is also just a reminder of how good our lives are. Before the meeting gets started, they always do stuff like tell a few bad jokes, some terrible small talk. I tune out.

This time they asked, I guess because of the recent movie Michael, what's your favorite Michael Jackson song? We're not doing that. People are chiming in with Beat It, P.Y.T., Billy Jean. And I'm just thinking Michael Jackson would be an HR nightmare. I resisted making any jokes about 27-year-olds. You're about it? There's 20 of them.

He concludes with a pretty young thing hits a lot different than it did in 19. He was in theory at the time talking about me. Yeah, I wonder if we should listen to those lyrics again. Oh, yeah, trust me. Yeah, and I think I'm prepared to say Michael Jackson back. Somehow. I've got one from Ryan who says, What if baseball had pitching lines like hockey lines,

where you had three pitchers in terms? charge of getting through nine innings, and however you want to use them, have at it. This is kind of what I've been angling for. Now, we didn't, we don't have enough time today, Dan. I love this. But did you see what happened on Tuesday night with Kumar Rocker? No. They threw some, I can't remember, Tyler Alexander, maybe somebody else out there as an opener.

Oh yeah, you told me they were going to do that. But not like a normal opener where they went two or three. It wasn't a bullpen game. Rocker entered the game in the second inning and just like a star I'm putting you in for one inning And he was fucking dealing Until the ninth

And they pulled him in the night Somebody else closed it out What if that's just the way it has to be? It was so weird He I think has given up 18 runs on the season 10 of which have been in the first inning And if you've watched him pitch

It's a freaking circus In the first couple innings Mentally Yeah so What if this is the new thing for him That'd be great But the time through the order thing I just think it's

obviously this is what's fun about sports is you have like money and you're trying to put it in different spots and where do we get the most efficiency and there are norms and there are rules and there's a union but i just kind of think of it if you boiled the dollar down to the win like how would you put and you would definitely not have it where there's a guy who pitches seven innings who makes 60 million dollars a year and a guy who sees people fresh through the order making 10 and that that guy you would reapportion you would probably do three three and three you might have some given taken there but it would not be

what it is now it just wouldn't be if you started over completely I don't believe that for a number of reasons one of which is maybe some guys are going to piss their pants in the first inning

because I guess where we're starting from is yes you used to pitch nine almost guaranteed every night yeah what if you so in this scenario

where you have like hockey lines, can those pitchers come back in the game? Do you have just like three pitchers for a game? Yeah. Like I declare before this game, these are the three pitchers we're using. Yep. Maybe it's a left.

It's what rules aren't changing. We have to put rules about the lefty-righty thing, yeah. That'd be a beating. Yeah, I'd probably say if you're going to do that and they can come back in and out of the game, you can't change your pitcher between, like, during the inning. How about this? It's like a batting order. Sure.

It has to go in order. Yeah. So if you want to get to picture three, you're going to have to put picture two in again for one better. That's good. Solving problems. I got another one from Stephen. We were talking about volleyball antics and how they'll... Girls are kind of mean to each other.

You notice this? You talk about sports celebration-wise? I think women or girls, females, talk way more shit in sports than boys do. I think there may be something to that And they're meaner about it Yeah Because they're not They're probably not gonna hit each other

And I guess that's true in men sports too But it feels like there's an implication of violence Of like if you go too far Well I think if I'm playing with somebody I just say you suck Whatever But if a girl tells another girl she's ugly That would probably actually hurt her feelings

That's probably where they go They seem to really coordinate Shit talking too Anyway he goes on to say That they've got just chance for everything. You hit a ball into the net. This is college level or pro-vival?

This says 12-U club volleyball. Holy shit. They'll yell fishy, fishy, fishy, net, net, net at you. They've got some sort of thing to the classic tune sweat, drop down my balls. Yeah.

Okay. He says he ends the email. Imagine how proud of a dad I was listening to my sweet 12-year-old girl yell that chant. I don't know, dude. I know it's kind of gross, but I don't think I'll think it's gross

Like I saw a TikTok the other day It's either softball or volleyball These girls were probably in high school They definitely were in the south But it was a mix of white, black, Latino And them giving their walk-up songs Like I was gonna cry, I was so happy

It was all like rap music from when I was in high school Juvenile Yes, and like 3-6 mafia computer Yeah Just dirty fucking southern rap It's disgusting. And I'm like, you know, I actually think that if my, my girl came up there to, oh, skeet, skeet, and then just rocketed one, you'd be like, this feels right.

It's okay. Yeah. Good afternoon, sex men. In regards to the discussion about whether or not it would be cool to run a four-minute mile, Jake nearly had me convinced that it would be sort of neat. But I think he may have overplayed his hand. I've attached the clip Jake Clint

Well here's the clip Want to hear the clip Here's Jake's claim Oh how do I make money off this I guess it's not money I just You're doing it to tell people How fast you can run a mile

Because it'd be fun And then you could be like dude I could go run Because if you could run A mile in four and a half minute You could run a lot more places I don't want to run places I don't want to run to begin with

Rick says, I guess I just need some clarification on this point. What does this mean? Running a lot more places. If you need a fresh vape, do you put on your workout gear and run as fast as you can to the gas station and back? Will you sprint to the grocery store and try to run home holding all the bags? Where are all these extra places you would run to if you had the power of running super fast? like A-Train from Amazon Prime's Blockbuster hit the boys.

Boy, I hear people are upset. Whoa, ho. Yeah. My leader is Heart Attack Man leaving you on speaker while he was skydiving. Dan's scuba diving shoes and Blake describing

Harvey Weinstein's weird dick. Did you do that? I heard the finale of boys is Superman being upset with the finale of Lost. Real real world. No, I don't know. I saw this email too, and I'm going to be totally straight with the people.

Gave it about 10 minutes of thought of how I could try to rationalize this, and I really came up with nothing. So I'm going to have to punt. I do think I would probably run to the gas station. Like in the morning, I get up and drive to the gas station, even when I don't need anything. I go every day, and I'll find something. Either I need gas. I can't wait for an email that attaches this audio.

Either I need gas or I need a five-hour. I don't need anything. I just go to the gas station. It's part of my daily routine. I just want to look. I might, if you, every day there's going to be something. Vap every four or five days, maybe. Go by a couple five hours every two days.

Go by whatever. I go see my boys. And so I would probably run and do that. That's what it is. You just want to see the guys. Yeah. But other than that, I don't know. Okay, I have to tell you guys a quick sports story from a viewer mail.

And look, maybe a long show today, but Dan's back. This is from a listener who said, hey, are you following the British spy gate? Have you guys seen anything about this? No. It's soccer related, Greg. This is from our Richard. What we have here is the end of the season and a situation where in the English League, there are four teams that move up from the second division to the first.

four teams that move down. Those four teams that move up from the second division, three of them are determined by league finish order. The fourth one is determined by, I believe, a four-team playoff, right? So if you're number one, number two, or number three... So it's like the play-in thing? Yeah, you're going up. If you're number four, five, six, seven, I assume there's a little tournament.

Okay? Okay. So... Wow, can you imagine how intense that is? Can I imagine it getting... more intense because they say that as far as percentage of revenue, this

is the most valuable sporting event on earth. Because going from the second to the first, even if you get relegated the next year, you have what they call parachute payments and they keep paying you. It's like hundreds of millions of dollars.

The difference, especially if you can stick around in the first division. So this team that had been delegated last year and is trying to get back has been accused of and caught spying. And I haven't looked at this today. I guess I probably should.

I haven't looked at it since this morning and it was, you know, different time zones. Yeah, they're holding it up. They, uh, they've been expelled. So they're going to the next, I guess, qualifying team. I'm not exactly sure with the tournament format how that works out. But week of, they appealed it today. Appeal was upheld. They have been kicked out.

Richard brings up an interesting one. He says, even in England, scandals are called Whatevergate, which begs the question of Watergate, the break-in, it happened at a Lakeinta. Would this be called spikinta? The video is crazy. I almost just want to play this whole thing for you guys and let us listen to it. But essentially, there's the training facility, and it's out in what looks like the English countryside

and it's very clearly marked private property and this reporter from Sky Sports goes out there and there's a tree at the edge of the practice facility let me see if I can fast forward to where he's standing by the tree and play this we'll see Blake last Thursday when they felt that they apprehended a Southampton spy watching their session and this tree here

is central to this situation, this investigation, because they allege that the spy was stood behind this tree filming their training session. He was spotted by officials from the club up there in the training ground. Once they realized that things looked a little bit suspicious, they ran down this hill and the spy, I am told, packed up his equipment and hot-footed 150 yards,

over there to the nearby golf club. Hot-footed comes up a lot here. So the spy ran down here to the clubhouse at the nearby golf course, Rockcliffe, which is a very busy, prestigious golf course that held the senior open back in 2013. And he fled through these doors here into a changing facility, a toilet,

just in here where he changed his appearance, changed his t-shirt, and then hot-footed through the dining area. and out through those doors towards the course. CCTV footage showed the alleged Southampton spy then leaving the bar area and moving up towards the first T-box here at the... This guy's just running through a golf course and eventually ended up in the neighborhood next to the golf course and took off. I love it. But then they caught him.

And so they appealed and they, this is how they're punishing them, you know? like Michigan and the Patriots, as this guy points out, are very lucky. Because this team is like, you know, this isn't vacating a win. This is... I wonder how those leagues are set up too, as far as the commissioner and who they answer to, because, you know, the role of the commissioner in sports has changed so much to where the original commissioner is Kennesaw Mountain Landis. Do you know this?

Just that he was brought in because of the Black Sox scandal, bad pub, and they thought, you know, owners thought they'd be losing money because of that.

They need to get their ship in order, so they brought in a guy and said, you're totally in charge. And he could have kicked owners out of the league and everything. And as time went on and the money got big,

the owners got to realizing, wait, we are the boss of the commissioner. because I think Bowie Coon in the 70s or 80s or something tried to do some similar stuff. Like, hey, like he would negate trades like

Adam Silver should have done to one. Like this is bad for the league type of thing. Yeah, the A's were trying to sell off a bunch of their top talent and he just said no. Like they were trying to sell a bunch of players to the Yankees. He's like, no, this is bad for baseball. This is bad for Oakland. We're not going to do this.

then the owners kind of forced him out and said let's get somebody else in there that it'll do stuff that we want them to do and eventually it ended up being one of the owners who is Bud Sealing that's why they got him but yeah where did we start with that?

I don't know how they're commissioners and all that works Oh the commissioner in that league yeah so the commissioner because here Godell is like I'm giving this punishment but well it's you know right yeah college is an even bigger mess yeah so I wonder who runs the Premier leagues or if it's just businesses against each other, like...

Yeah, I think there's some level of that. Like capitalism that we say is so great. So how did we start talking about the Paralympics the other day? Because I passed a... I stayed at a hotel that was in the same town, or it was called the whatever... Do you recall? Ted Emmerich said he was...

Did you see Ted's text? I thought this was about Spire. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because it said Olympic training facility for Olympics and Paralympics. Okay, I didn't know the Paralympics part. All right.

So Buster, there's a great dude. And it's important to know Buster was out there with us the day that we were at Miracle Week, helping with special needs sports. More info on that coming soon. We have more dates coming. Again, we help out. Okay. Forster. Buster says, Dear D. Z. Ferret, y'all had me punching my dashboard this morning when you were talking about the Paralympics.

had to write in. The whole origin story is actually really interesting. The Paralympics grew out of war. Some of the best physical specimens on the planet were sent into combat. A lot of them came home paralyzed or wheelchair bound. Going from being an elite athlete to suddenly using a chair can send people down one or two paths. Either fired up, this is a new challenge and I'm going to crush it mindset or the much more common crash into depression where it feels like everything was taken away. Okay. He recommends a documentary called Rising Phoenix that is on Netflix. I think I actually actually did see some of that some years ago, but it's about the Paralympics and training for it. So the silver lining to...

War, yeah, your drones, those are sick. Just having people... Mamed. Yeah, to actually just sending someone in to lose a leg or a limb and stuff. It's like, well, how do we make this better? Give them some games to play when they come back. Yeah, and I guess I do still have some thoughts about, like, why does that mean that it needs to turn into like a Olympic level competition that we put on TV and have spectators for,

but I don't know. Who am I to judge? So I'm going to keep judging. Scott says not only they have, because we started talking about blind sports, he said not only they have blind sports. Oh, we were saying it's not fair that the blind don't have a. Yeah, there you go. You have to get into them.

He says, check out para alpine skiing. No. Which I did. They bombed down the hills at 65 miles an hour with nothing to guide them, but they're bro with a Bluetooth headset telling them to turn right or left. And that is what it is. It's a guy, a few gates down. They both have a headset on.

They said they go a little bit slower, so maybe 65 instead of 85, and that there are slightly fewer hills and turns. Like, could you beat a blind skier? No chance, dude. What I'm telling you is they are opening up this gate, and with no vision doing slalom-style skiing with audio. I once beat a blind bowler.

You did. You're not beating this blind skier. What we're going to do is none of that. We're going to do the blind sport that I was put onto by our friend Matt Brunich. He says they do have Paralympic events for blind people. I stumbled upon this one in the Paralympics like eight years ago, and I was shocked by the absurdity of it.

I'm about to show you guys a video of something called goal ball. And we probably don't even need the audio. It makes it easier, Clayton. Goal ball is three blind people on each side of the floor. Imagine like a volleyball court with no net. There is a goal, the length of the baseline or the inline. And you just throw the ball from all fours. So you can kind of hear where that ball might be.

That's all you can do. Oh, these aren't real blind people. No, they are blind, but some of them are, you know, 80% blind. And to make it fair, like Josh, everybody gets blackout. A sleep mask. Fully, fully blackout. Gold ball. It is the most tim and Eric looking sport I've ever seen.

You just sit on your hands and knees and roll a ball. and if you can hear it, try to block it. This is the Ocho. It's so the Ocho. And so, as he also noted, and in the instruction video I saw, there's three people on each team on the floor. Yeah, be quiet. The crowd has to be quiet.

They have to hear the silence. Yeah, there's also like a little speaker in the ball. What? Yeah, like a little sound. It makes a little sound. When they do it in Phoenix, is everybody real wild? I thought they were blind. Don't they have supersonic hearing?

Yeah, but I guess to help even more. But, oh, that guy put a little zest on it. Yeah, that guy bowled it. Oh, quick return. Yeah, so it goes back and forth. The ball, the run of play is the ball going back and forth and back and forth. In the event, they don't just walk it off with one throw like that. This game rules.

I don't like this. So there are three people out there on the court for each team, but each team has six people because there are three people on the bench. Presumably to enter the game if someone gets tired, I guess, but I don't know how you. you'd ever. You're tired. You're just sitting there. And just sitting there.

It's not like they are watching the game. How does Matt Brunich find these things? From the sideline, right? So why are they really? Like, what are... There's so much dress-up involved here to make this feel real. But this is what I want our charity tournament to be. Three-on-three goal ball, where you just get blindfolded.

Just go out there and roll it around. I've got a movie trope and a couple first downs. The movie trope is from Clark. When a couple hooks up, it frequently seems to be followed by the next morning. One of them waking up, rolling over in bed, the other one is gone. Yeah, whatever. I guess in his experience... But you're right, very often.

She's still here. Yeah. I think it's pretty rare that you're just like, oh, wait, they're just not here. No, you're right. You're right. You'd much more prefer that be the case in real life. Right. Thanks, Boysmore, Kevin Farley. Agreed.

And then my first downs. The first is from PJ. These two are magnificent, and I think one deserves its own category. The first one, though, this first down is from PJ. He was in a meeting or at a conference, and they have the little, you know, like the little bottles of water? They had little bottles of Coke. And he wanted to take some of those home.

He had a long train ride, but he couldn't just stuff his bag full of the miniature coke. So what he did was he brought two giant bottles and then poured all of the little coax into those, put those on the sides of his backpack, and walked out of there. That, sir, is a first down. First down. From the guy who buys tons of little bottles of water and pours him into his big, whatever you call it. Respect. This next one is definitely a first down. But, you know, sometimes you get the defense to jump off sides and then you hike it.

What do you call that? Free play. I think this is a free play. Okay. He said he learned this from his dad. For Mother's Day, his mom and dad would go to the grocery store together. His dad would sneak off to look at the section of Mother's Day cards. He would pick one out, present it to her in the store.

She would read it, enjoy it, and then he would walk back and put it back. Hell yeah. Got her car, dad did have to buy it. That, sir, first down. Wow. Is the first down. Might be a free play. That's excellent. That's very good.

All right, fellas. Drainage? Do it. The dumsa, dumsa. This was Q104 and Saturday Night fever. Now here's John Russell with another request from the fever line. Q104, Saturday Night Fever. Who's on my fever line? This is Poofta.

Poofta? Yeah. Okay, where are you calling from? I'm calling from Lakewood. Lakewood. Okay, is there a song you'd like to hear tonight? Yeah, I'd like to send out some Leo Sayers to Mama G. All right. You make me feel like that. Sounds good.

All right, thanks. All right, have a good night. Thanks for calling Saturday Night Fever. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. Don't forget, Lewis. The Dumb Zone generic summer of is Saturday, June 6 at Four Corners Brewery. Starts at 6.

Well, we will end it at 9, right? As far as the YouTube streaming, if you want to watch it on YouTube. Also an option. It's a blind. Brought you by Community Mechanical. That's who brings us Lewis here today as well. They bring us the Brandon Aubrey Show. They bring us the mini split that got Jake's office high atop his garage air-conditioned.

and they brought us Lewis high atop my grass Lewis just sits here all the time they installed Lewis every six months they will come out here and make sure Lewis is changes filter

everything's going fine but yeah they bring us the Dumb Zone generic summer event and we have they're the big giant sponsor flexing their muscles all 611 of them

sponsoring Pist jars yeah signed by me. That's right. Do you know how much Blake's been using his jar? Like a lot.

For real? Yeah. Probably once a week. Wow. Why? He's a road dog, dude. He's out. He's not stopping.

I absolutely could have used so on the road. That's what I'm saying, dude. I was bobbed. I do drink a lot of water and coffee and stuff. I didn't bring mine on the road. And every, but I was thinking this thought. You could have been on Monday. Every time I did, every time I went to the bathroom was the greatest P.I.

ever had you ever think that like remember the first pee after you uh drinking for a while sure and you finally break the seal then you got to go all the time but that first one is so great and it takes five minutes that was every one of my urinations on the road that is good to wait like that is it no no no i mean it's bad for you it's good if you want to feel like it's to the point where as i'm like your body knows yeah like i'm at the front door of the gas station now i'm close and it's like almost out. No. I'm positive.

Superman is running, but he's taking off his, you know, Clark Kent takes off his shirt like he's starting to become. That's what I'm doing. I'm pulling the pants down as I'm walking into the bathroom. Yeah. It's tough. But then you got to redo all the work. You got to pass all those trucks again. You got to find your full.

Like, there's just too much, you've lost time on the road. And I also, I don't want to get to the point where I'm. Dude, passing the same truck. Yeah, I don't want to just feel like I'm about to explode. So we've had some listeners give us multiple, some small, there's a big one. And so I know based on how I'm feeling if I need the smaller big one, but I just don't want to sit there and be, did you feel like that for 30 minutes? I mean, just, I could be, I've not even left Wiley yet, and I'll do it, just to avoid that feeling.

So communities are big sponsor. And then they bring the, uh, the little dwarf sponsors, Qualis. Well, thanks to them, too. Well, I'm just trying to just highlight that community wants to be the man. The word is midget. Are you saying as far as height? Yeah, silverback construction. Technically, yeah.

It's a big guy. Hallwater, Fairlease, Frankel and Frankel, Game de Amens Health, and Connie Rosa. Connie Rosa will be out there with their pizza oven. They will. Can I play you a couple of real quick things from the Maasai press conference that... Did you want me to mention even putting out the call for? for the next top Angela? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you're right. I looked at that 30 seconds ago and then... Are we giving it up? No, we're not. Okay. Blake has... I'm just here... Blake broke up with his Angela.

Lewis, do you have any special talents? I have been wrecking my brain for something that would be of value. You get 60 seconds to impress Blake in the... However you can do it with your skill to win $100 a month for the next year. There you go. email the dumbzone at gmail.com. Yeah, we've had a few come in. This will be quick, and then we can tell you about some exciting opportunities before the news.

This is just funny. I think the guy's got a funny laugh, Masay Ujiri. I think he's got a funny voice. And this was a little interesting moment between him and the media yesterday. Rashide Miller, Dallas Weekly. How are you doing, Russia? How you doing? How you doing?

First off. How are you doing again? Whoa. Right? How you doing? How are you doing? How are you doing? I don't know.

How you doing? Rashall Miller, Dallas Weekly. How are you doing, how you doing? How are you doing? First off. How are you doing again? Isn't that good? Isn't that fun?

Dallas Weekly. Yeah. I think it's a, it might be a black paper. If that's a voice you'd like to silence. No, I'm just read my blue paper. All the necessary information. So, yeah, coach plays a part, but we do the heavy lifting with this. Somebody's phone rings.

I think that's the one. No. Who's calling your... Come on, man. Who's calling your iPad, man? FaceTime. I'm kidding, man. We're having fun.

We're having fun. That is a guy not used to being nice to people. Yeah. There's something to that for sure. Real quick. Nothing can stop this burning desire to be with you. Got to get to you, baby. Won't you come?

It's emergency. Cool my fire yearning. Honey, come set me free. Don't you know now is the perfect time? Mike, I should tell you I'm 11. Let me finish my thought. We can dim the lights just to make it right. In the night, hit the loving spot.

I'll give you all that I've got. And we did learn then later in a documentary that he would have the boys sit on their hands and knees and pants down kind of let me just look at the back door entrance there. The little... Look at it. Really? I like the top of the, is it the Falcon Stadium? Yeah, the Ben Stadium looks like a butthole. That's it. I don't know if this is a Rocky AIDS thing or if this is real.

This is dead ass the story. You never saw that documentary? No, I didn't want to see that. About Michael Jackson? No. Well, it's great. I get it. It's creepy. Anyway, that's PYT. Well, no, I think it's important.

I want to love you PYT pretty much. Because he didn't touch the PYTs. He would say it's a tricky thing. thing. It's like, uh, yeah, yeah, he'd just be like, Dak with, uh, the girl who said he had, he raped her. He's like, actually, we just had sex in my car outside of a strip club. Dwight Howard. We were talking about gay athletes the other day. Famously was like, I didn't rape this guy. I had sex with him. Yeah.

So Michael Jackson, oddly enough, there are people that are like, he didn't touch him. Yeah, he just looked at it. But he would have them stand in the corner of the room and do the pick and cotton drill while he. It's tough. Art and artists are very tough. Yeah, but that song is called Watch Kid. Yeah. No, you could think about it with a lady, but if you think about it with 11-year-old Jake, it's different.

It's better. I was a piece. Lola Blankets will bring us today's edition of the news, and we have two guys here who are very excited to where if I just say the word Lola Blankets, it's like... I won Mother's... Day. Yeah.

Me. I did it with a Lola blanket. You bought one, but you're using the blanket? No, I bought it for my mom. Using promo code Dumbzone. Got the biggest, the extra large. It's huge. It's the softest thing you've ever touched.

You know what it kind of made me more? Your mom is real fat? No, I'm saying. You know what he's implying? And it's true. For years, we just, and I, this is as a tall guy. But for years, why were we just like, what if we made blankets kind of just big enough?

Like, what does it take? I think 15% more, 20% more cloth to make it like, oh, now it actually covers everything. Would we call this Lola Blanket then a first down? Are you getting value? You definitely are. Square footage. Especially with 40% off select Lola Blankets with promo code DumbZone at checkout. It's Lola Blankets.com.

Use promo code Dumbzone. They'll ask where you heard about them. On this one, I mean it, tell them the dumb zone. They're so soft. They really are. You can win Memorial Day with a Lola Blanket. I have an American flag one. Here's Jane with the Dumb Zone News.

All right. It'll be in the show notes. Maybe, do you do that in the show notes or not? Uh, no. I will. We have a promo code thing. We do. Oh, yeah.

No, I don't want to start with that one. That's too good. Sometimes it be like that. Sounds just like John McKay. No, sometimes it be like that. You don't want a good story. to start isn't that usually like our top story today guy in sherman was arrested um last week this was reported just yesterday but he was arrested last week uh and like i said in sherman the police were

called by a teenager who say that a man drove up beside her and offered to buy her a vape in exchange for sex oh so a barter yeah this was uh an underage person so But there's the problem. Yeah. Can you barter for sex with older age person, like of age? Probably not. I mean, you are, right? Everything is prostitution.

So, of course. You think about it. But I don't know. I got that. I got that dinner. Just hoping that we'd. Yeah. That house.

Watch your house in a car. Yeah. Now, the guy was 65. She? The guy. Well, if he said she was underage. Oh. Yeah.

Well, what does that mean, though? There is a difference, as IJB recently told. They don't say. It just says underage and trying to buy a vape. It sounds like it was a teenager from the story, but 65. That seems, I would say if I was her and teaching her how to negotiate, I'd be like, this is, it's way, I would think what you're asking for is way more valuable than what I'm asking for. So where can we, how can we move this talk?

Yeah, maybe a vape a week. His first mistake was the value was severely off target. That's what he's saying. This is like 25 bucks, you know, and it will last you for quite some time. The vape? Yeah, so I just, it's way out of whack. Like what Blake had worked out with Angelo. Exactly.

You had a long-term payment. Exactly. Again, thinking he was going to have to. I wonder, remember my theory that, you know, if you get caught, it's worked. How many times? Has this guy had sex with an underage girl for just buying a vape before? I've been a bet on this one, no. I'm going to bet on this one, no.

Of course, they're only underage to buy a vape. How much do you got to, do you have to be 21 to do a vape? Yeah, you have to be 21 to do any nicotine products now. Also, we have to ask, did this guy have his first kid when he was already 50? So is this, does that change your mind? That is a great question. Clayton, I forgot to tell you to have the William D. Tate photo ladies. William D. Tate photo ready, so we'll do that one next.

So we told you yesterday, or maybe it was Tuesday, about the guy who drove his Tesla into Grapevine Lake on. Cybertruck, right? Wade mode? Yes. He drove his cyber truck. into the lake. And did it electrocute all the fishes? That's okay.

Yeah, I think it did. They all just floated to the top? Yeah, it's a natural disaster situation. So the guy's name, Jimmy Jack McDaniel. He was contacted by WFAA, who did a story on this. And told them... First name is just Jimmy, not James. I guess so, yeah.

I mean, it's listed... If they're going to put your middle name, Jimmy Jack, you look at the photo? It's so funny, dude. It's so funny. So here's the WFA report on it. Just gold work here. What's good for the goose and her gander? Okay, no.

What are we doing? You know exactly what we're doing. We're showing an image of a goose out at the lake, and now we're going to use a goose pun. And if you think that this pun gun, you're thinking it's like a musket that'll take for a... No. Just one?

No. This is a, yes. This is what the clips sing. What's good for the goose? and her gander is not, it seems, for a 6,000-pound truck. And yet... Oh, hell no, bro, look. This is what Grapevine police found at the lake Monday night.

A Tesla cyber truck first trudging through the water, then marooned offshore. Just like in the water. You can't park there. Turns out you also can't drive there. Don't drive into the water with your vehicle. Grapevine PD thought that was common knowledge. Yes, it is. This amphibious attempt was a bit of...

a shock. So we called the driver. He says this is actually his third time driving his cyber truck into Lake Grapevine. He says the others have gone off without a hitch. From the problem this time, he says he went a little too deep. Now he's in deep trouble. No. You only think you know why. Well in addition to operating a vehicle where he should not have been operating a vehicle, there were also, you know, standard water safety equipment issues. So if you were on a proper marine vessel. That's some bullshit. You're gonna charge me for- You're doing to charge me for not being a boat in the water and then charge me for not having all the boat stuff for being in the water.

That doesn't make, that doesn't work. Come on. Double jeopardy. So if you were on a proper marine vessel, you would have a fire extinguisher and quotation devices. You heard that right. Officers arrested him in part for not having life jackets. But they'd rather he not do this at all. It's a huge safety issue.

We have children on these shores. We have families. It's safe for the passengers as well. The driver got out through the window. So did two German visitors. He says he was showing around. I'm sorry. Yeah.

Why is that necessary to the story? Kind of a weirdo. Two German visitors, he says he was showing around. Definitely unusual. Not the run-of-the-mill news day. And the video of it all is now making waves. So was he just like, you want to see Lake Grapevine? Check this shit out.

Yeah, I mean, you're just out, you know, maybe doing a cyber truck tour. You've got some buddies in town. You're like, let's go rip. This is what I do. This is what it's like to be in Texas. I guess. I don't know. We're going to go back to the local news, actually,

because our good friend David Centendary has a. story for us. Awesome. I'm not saying that if there's a hot woman in hot water that David Centendree from Fox 4 is immediately on the scene. But this is a woman named Jennifer Combs, and she is in Trinidad, Texas, which apparently we're going to be somewhat close to soon for a remote that we committed to that Dan will surely regret.

Oh, wow. Cedar Creek Lake area. Mug shoddy for sure. Mug shoddy for sure is Jennifer Combs. To Trinidad 8 right there. Oh yeah. Yeah. So we're going to take it to Fox 4.

Let him explain this. I think it's right here. Something like that Facebook post could get you arrested? Not at all. A Facebook post made by Jennifer Combs, a wife, mother, and citizen journalist led to her arrest by... All right. Yep.

Yep. We got a new breed out there, boys. This is initiated. Yep. This is like in, like, the third Jurassic Park when they had lasers on the dinosaurs. It's like they got Cairns with cameras, calling themselves a journalist, and doing good work, I'm sure. A Trinidad Police Department on May 8th.

Do you have to spend the night in jail? I did. What was that like? Horrifying. Oh. Absolutely. horrifying. And you've never even had a speeding ticket in your life. I have not ever had a speeding ticket. It was one of the most probably humiliating things I've ever went through in my entire life. It was very, very bad.

So what was the Facebook post about the city's water supply? The best way I could describe it is it looks like the Trinity River is blowing from their water taps. She posted about how dirty the water is in the city. Okay. And they, she posted like this is a serious public health concern. There's bacteria. They took that and put it on their police departments, social media and public information pages and said, this is fake. This is a fake information circulating. There's no reason to, we have no reports of this.

And then they say that this is false information. that creates fear, panic, or unnecessary emergency response within a community. So they're basically hitting her with the yelled fire in a theater. And they arrested her, dude. The water does look gross. Yeah. And they're saying, you know, they're like, hey, look, we hadn't heard anything about this. The mayor, Fox 4 went to the mayor.

The mayor's like, can't, we got a problem with it. I didn't get to the part where he commented on. What city? It's called Trinidad. It's about what would you say, an hour and a half from here, east and south. Yeah, it's at the bottom of Cedar Creek Lake. Yeah, not, not, because here's the thing. If they don't arrest her, this is not in the news.

Yeah. So now. That's the old. What are you doing? Let it go. Let me back up to when you are defending someone by saying, they're so good, they're peers of the driven snow, they've never had a speeding ticket.

What do you think, Blake? I was thinking about that, too. I don't know. They're just, they drive slow. Yeah, but they're probably sitting that left. These are, this is a bad person. No. If you've never, ever had a speeding ticket,

you probably just, the world revolves around you. You think whatever you're going is the speed limit. I don't think whether you drive faster on. I've just driven for two straight weeks, dude. It's because you guys can't imagine that there are people like me who do it right. But see, that's the thing is people like him like to turn it into a moral issue. Because it is.

It's not. It's like anything else. Mine's a transportation issue. I just want to get what I'm going. It's how much do you care about yourself versus the community? And everybody's got to turn that knob. My thing is the community. One way or the other.

And that's fine. I want all the traffic to be faster. They probably didn't mean you guys when they wrote the laws. Listen to this guy with slow reflexes turned it into a moral dilemma. It's not. Your Honor, he couldn't have murdered her. He's never had a speeding ticket. I can see, yeah, I do love, like, I don't know, where are we going to?

How are you going to check that? It's the, it's the black friend of, oh my God, right? It's, I'm not racist. Definitely. Boy, there was a story I really wanted to do for you guys. Oh, I know what it was. It's the one that you wanted to end with. That was the, I did want to do the, the, the, which one did you?

The Great Fine Cyber Truck, I thought was. That was your starter, but you said, I'm. Yeah, it's audio. You want to kind of like string it out a little bit. I got that image if you want to it. Which image? You said the mayor. Oh, yeah, let's do that.

So the Grapevine, city of Grapevine has had the same mayor for 50 years. And they unveiled this weekend, we were out of town. But at Main Street Fest, they unveiled a statue of William D. Tate, okay? William D. Tate, who, yes, when I moved to Grapevine for the first time, some 15 years ago, I was stunned to learn that he was not only alive, that he was still mayor, because there's a street called William D. Tate. He drive by his office every day on the way to school. Is that him standing next to the statue?

That is him standing next to the statue. Now, my wife brought this up, and we have scoured the internet. This is what I'm using my Claude Codex for. I don't believe he's ever dressed like that ever. So in the photo... They have him dressed as an old town sheriff type thing? With like a duster, a old sort of, not a bow tie, but what do they call that? String tie.

String tie. A bolo? A bolo. Yeah, Bolo, I thought, was like the type that attached and you pulled, like, the real ranch-sack. Oh, is it a scarf tie? Scarf or whatever did he said. Like a handkerchief? Yes.

He also has on, like, wading boots. So he's in wade mode. It's making him look like he's the mayor of, in 1870. Yeah, and so in my head, I was like, I don't know, he's. been married for 50 years, so that was a long time ago. But still, nobody was dressing like that in 1976. You know what I mean? This is tombstone.

It really is. And the weird thing is that they made the statue like that. So then he kind of tried to dress up like that for the photo. But, I mean, I see this guy monthly. He doesn't dress like that. So I think it's an interesting decision. You know, no one's ever going to make a statue. me, but I do think it'd be, I'd like to know how much did he, did he tell him, like, hey,

don't just put me in a fucking polo. Like, that's going to, it's going to be boring forever. Do they consult with him at all? Yeah. Because this looks pretty badass, right? It looks like he's Wyatt Earp. But we're kind of a sleepy town with bike trail. Like, there's not a lot of frontier discipline.

They left a little heft on him, too. Like, if you're going to get a statue of yourself, like, have a, be the best looking version of yourself. Well, it kind of is. He's taller. The statue looks more badass than he does. He has like a mustache in both. So I guess I got that. Yeah.

Anyways. There is a spinoff of Gray's Anatomy coming. Great. And... My kid loves that show. The reason that I'm telling you about this is because it will be set in West Texas. Jeez, man. They can't get enough of our stuff.

Or is it because the price of filming here is much lower than anywhere else? Yeah, I mean. That's why we're getting all these things now. And I think there have been efforts like Matthew McConaughey was up behind that once upon a time. I know Taylor Sheridan is now, like the incentives and all that sort of stuff. I'm sure that has something to do with it. But I also just, it's not just that they're shooting this here, Dan. it's that their idea for what do we do with this TV show that's been on for 20 years

is like yeah but what if it were just in Texas? Like that's the whole creative. They could shoot it anywhere. Loan Star 9-1-1. It's just like what's the hotspid? We never got one of those Chicago fires, Chicago, you know? Yeah. We never got a Law and Order.

We have a Lone Star 911 and that's about it, really. There's no like CSI Fort Worth. I mean, you know what I've always heard is that within the entertainment industry, they just saw Walker as like an untouchable product that had sort of explained the existence of Dallas Fort Worth perfectly. So why? Lyle Lovett played a Texas Ranger on Blue Bloods, and I was really hoping he would get a spinoff. He was great.

I was at a wedding with him once. but a hospital in west texas it's just going to be old people with gout well it was playing there's kind of like uh you know like uh i was at a wedding with wild lia love it and just like fade out is there something you're wanting for me no i was uh playing the news clothes it you're unmuted i was unmuted before and it didn't play now we're just not going to play it so we're trying to do this uh like back and forth in here it's fine it's not playing blake it's fine okay i'll play it The Dumb Zone

Unfortunately, my birthday has fallen on the worst day of the week.

Business Wednesday, thanks to Sean Kernan of 360 wealth management for ruining Wednesdays for all the people. Please wish me a bladed happy birthday. My leaders are Dan and Jim Adler riding a dinosaur, fighting to get me the money I deserve. You ever see Jim Adler? their lawyer riding a dinosaur commercial? I feel like I have, yeah. He's done quite a few.

I like when he speaks Spanish. I appreciate what you do to make people's days better with your excellent comedy podcast from Beth, not drop Beth. Wow, two ladies. P.S., I gave Blake a friend's cookbook at your Zoli's remote.

She did. She means, like, for the TV show, Friends, they had a cookbook? Yeah, Friends themed recipes. I assumed he would open it on air since it was a big Thursday viewer mailbag so I could see you ridicule him live and in person. Unfortunately, he waited until he got home to open it. He kindly thanked me after the fact and claimed his wife was making a recipe out of it. We were perusing it.

We have not committed to something yet. It's a very nice gesture. It's up in our kitchen right now. Looks like this time around, Cuyahoga County will go plus 14 for Trump. Because of a TV show cookbook? Because of a friend's cookbook, you bet your goddamn ass. That's the gayest thing I've ever heard in my life. Come on.

I don't think so. We let him, we just skate on the fact that he's a friend's guy, fine. Is it like stuff that. Friends cookbook? Is it stuffed like Joey would eat as part of the this? Yeah, I'm sure. Of course it is. With like the lady fingers and tiramisu and ground beef.

I'm sure that's in there. They made it friend night. Sure. What's wrong with that? Dear Operator, the Cream Machine. Wait, but if there was a Jurassic Park themed cookbook, You're saying that's not gay? Yes, it's very, it is.

Just because it's friends. It's lame. Both bad. But I appreciate that she gave it to you. That was very nice, Beth. Thank you. Dear Operator, the Cream Machine, or Blake, if he's still stuck reading these. I want to wish my brother Kevin, happy 32nd birthday.

He's a proud listener living in Thailand. Heck yeah. His leaders are Jake and Dan's big phones. Jake's school board. victories, we both attended GCISD, and Blake's musculoskeletal care. However, he does dislike that Blake is hot now. I love it. We're proud of how he managed to use U.S. government to build a life over there.

This place has become a zoo from Matt. Thailand. Hi, Dan and Jake. I want to wish my partner, Kevin, happy 32nd birthday. Wait, that was brother, Kevin. Maybe this is the same guy. I think it is. Because this is from Ellie.

She says, we've been living in Bangkok for six years. He listens to you guys every day. As someone who doesn't often listen to the show and is from the UK, I never know what to email and say to you. So I hope this is good enough for a birthday shout-out. Again, that's from Ellie. You're doing great, Ellie. Who's from the UK.

Our game day, Brit, really changed the way I view British women. Yeah, we got an email about that, too. That was in British Joel's email. When we talked to her, Alyssa from Game Day, she said she was from Essex. And Joel said she didn't sound like a girl from Essex. She sounded nice. Oh. And he included the Wikipedia page.

There's a whole ass Wikipedia page for Essex girls. It's like the Jersey Shore of England. You know, Nate? Silverback? From Silverback? I think that's the one he goes to. He gets the peptides. And he said, he thinks he's talked to her into coming out to the GSE.

Whoa. Hell yeah. That'd be excellent. Should we promote that? Yeah. Like along with profits and outlaws. Connie Russo. Get her in for a promo.

And finally, Kurt says, welcome home, Dan. 521. Is today 521? Yeah. Indeed. Is my birthday. So happy birthday to me. Yay, boo. I fall asleep every night listening to a past pod.

I wake up at 2.30-ish for my walk and swap AirPods and reset or rewind the epi I'm on. My sleep quality has improved. I no longer lay awake thinking about the next day or life shit. From Kurt. I love it. birthday to Kurt. Nice. That's a yay, yay.

Mentioned that you heard about them on the Dumb Zone. And demand to see Alan when you go to the Los Kalinas location. All right.

Bye, Alan. Gameday.com. The Dumb Zone News. Why do you people exist? It still works. We're doing today in history. Thursday, May 21st is today on this day in 1819. The first ever bicycles appeared on New York City Streets.

God. They were called Swift Walkers. See? Look how fast those walkers are moving. Oh, wow. Yeah, because your foot totally touches the ground. Does it? Yeah, the first one for real.

It looks like Fred Flintstone. So it's not one of those giant wheeled ones? No, that looks like it might have come later. This day in 1891, Jim Corbett, gentleman Jim Corbett, fought Peter Jackson. They ended up calling a draw after 61 rounds. I would not have thought he's a little, little fat guy.

He would not have thought he'd go that long. That's back when men were men, though. On this day in 2004, it was Alex Rodriguez's return. to Texas. It wasn't as bad as when he returned to Seattle as when he was first arranger. But he did get booed quite a bit. And while the booze rained down, he hit a home run

in his first step back against his whole team. And Jake, is this WHL on this day in 2017? Barnum and Bailey Circus performs for the last time at Nassau Coliseum in New York City, closing shop after 146 years. I don't know. I'm not a PETA guy, right? Or Pito, but...

If you had to be one. Yeah. Which one are you known? Generally, I don't think it's like wussification or bad or anything if we kind of improve the way we treat animals. I don't think that signals like the downfall of work ethic or morals or values. He was like, I think there's probably something to that Gandhi quote, right? You judge a civilization by how they're treating animals. Oh, I've never heard that.

I'm probably butchering it, but it's kind of like, you know, once you've got people taking, but who knows? I don't think it's bad that we said. So what would Gandhi say about your brother and the guys he lived with? Well, depends. If they treated animals. Yeah. Very well. They did.

Some of the animals. I judge you. best time of their life. You're right into heaven here, bro. Yep. Head on it. So, Dumb Zone history on this day in May 21st, Dumb Zone history. What do we got? In 2020, Jake had just been promoted.

He was now finally Tier 1. And this says, Jake had to make his information private after people kept sending porn magazine subscriptions to his house. There was a time. It was getting for real out of control. I forgot about that. For real. Dan's off a quiet.

No, my only porn game with you was on your computer in the production room. Yeah, no, that was good. That was good. That was great when they lead tours around the place. There's South Grand Prairie High School. Oh, my God, is that Lois Griffin having an eight-way with the Avengers on that guy's laptop? It's amazing. if you search gay, black, what you can find on porn.

There's never like micro penis on that search, right? Doubtful. Did you have to rework your muscle memory now being back in Texas? Right. To get... Different side of the keyboard. Get to the crappy sites. Type in P.O.

Oh, man. Damn it. Then in 2024, today in Twitter, this was Camron's appearance. on CNN. Yeah. Where he was there to promote a drink to help you

it was boner pills. Crack your wife. Yep. And then CNN starts asking him about P. Diddy? When is something like that? Did you recognize that kind of anger at all?

From your experiences? I don't know. Like that. What does you mean? Do I be recognized? I recognize them. I've seen them. What do you mean my experiences?

I've seen them and I thought... And you can tell like he just wanted to promote this thing and now he's dragged into this. P. Diddy stuff and they're showing in videos. Does this resemble the P. Diddy that you knew? What do you mean? My experience is.

I seen him and I thought it was disgusting. I didn't do a zoom in to see if it was really him or nothing, but he admitted it was him. So, yeah, it was him. Can you tell us a little bit more about that? I mean, is there something known in the industry

about how Diddy treated his artists? He's taken drink of it. So I'm going to get some cheeks after this horsepower drink. Get some cheeks. On CNN. And his drink is called horsepower.

Respect. I'm going to get some cheeks after this. Other birthdays today, Josh Hamilton 45. All right. I saw an interview. Maybe it wasn't with him. It was the one I saw with Chris Davis. just talking about those Rangers teams.

Dude, do you remember when Josh Hamilton, like we all joke about the guy who fell when he threw the home run, right? We all joke. People joke about it. But wasn't? Wasn't it or was he, Josh throwing a ball to him? I think he was throwing the ball to him. Yeah.

Yeah. But didn't he have, okay, so there was the energy drink I thing. Yeah, too much Red Bull. tobacco. And he couldn't play during the day because of that? In Oakland. Okay. Because I wasn't there, did he ever have anything approaching the yips? Like we were just throwing the ball into the stands or anything? I don't recall that. Okay. Somebody brought that up the other day and I couldn't, I couldn't recall either. I'd love to just go back through all the Josh incidents. Dave Wonstett, 74. He might have been the

greatest baseball player of all time for like two months. Dave Wonstett, um, always reminded me of my dad. I don't know why. Probably the mustache. Yeah, it seems very Chicago. Yeah. Ricky Williams, 49. Man.

Hero. Legendary rookie contract. Legendary everything. If you remember. As negotiated by Master Pete. Like it was the worst contract ever, they say. That could have been the highest paying contract. Whatever.

Should be noted, though, that it was given up, the trade. was dog shit too and Mike Ditka pulled that off and he'd been around a long time so it's not like everyone's like oh master p got this terrible contract for ricky williams he doesn't know what he's doing he didn't but the saints didn't either because they gave up like do you know that blake no oh god dude mike dick uh was so enamored with ricky williams when he was a college player whatever you're thinking it was it was more to go get him yeah what do you think it might have been to get him there was like four first round pitch no not kidding no it wasn't No. It was every pick in this year's draft. That's it, but still, that's crazy.

First round, second round, third round, fourth round, fifth round, sixth round. Whatever pick we have, the Saints, I'll give you every pick we have this year for your pick, and they did it. And then there was a SI cover shoot of the two of them. It was, yeah, it was just every pick we have this year. It was the two of them, and Ricky was dressed like in a wedding dress. Oh, yeah, I've seen that. It was real weird. Yeah. Josh Allen is third. By the way, they sent their first and third the next year. And every pick? Yeah. Okay, I thought it was just every pick that year.

Because I remember that was the initial thing, he just said. I'll trade every pick we have. Bruce Buffer is 69. So many emails. I bet I got one I could find right now. What do you mean? Is that the wrong guy? That was it, Michael.

Michael Buffer is the one you'd get emails about because his phrase is copyright. Right. Ritted. Like, more than anything has ever been, like, I think that they're more protective of that than, like, drawing Muhammad. But don't you know this incredible story? Bruce Buffer, so Michael Buffer and Bruce Buffer never knew each other growing up. They were brother, but they didn't know that they were brothers.

They ended up in the same line of work. They ended up being ring announcers at a major. That's crazy. Yeah, this guy is a UFC guy and Michael Buffer was what? Just boxing? Yeah, all those years. Yeah, but then anything big. But, like, yes, totally different, you know, whatever, sides of the earth they were.

I don't know where they each grew up, but they didn't grow up together. They didn't know each other. They didn't even know I had a brother. And then once he found out I have a brother and he does what? At a high level, you know. That's crazy. It is. Taylor Sheridan's 56.

Have you? Frisco King. Have you pledged your allegiance to Taylor Sheridan? No. Is that part of being a Texan now? When I came back, I crossed the Arkansas state line. They're actually, they stop you. It's a stop point.

It's like the truck thing. You pull it off to the right. Sheridan with station. And there's a big line. You have to pledge your allegiance to Taylor Sheridan before you come into Texas. They see if they weren't. If you're going to stay here. To be an extra or not?

I want you to be an extra in a Taylor Sheridan's show so bad. Me? Yeah. Can I wear William D. Tate's Duster? That's so always sunny. You show up like in full. Howdy. No, this is like modern friscoe.

Howdy, partner. Leo Sayer is 78. That's from the fever line. He's a disco guy. Cody Johnson is 39. Singer. That is a country singer of some note. Okay.

Jeffrey Tuben? I forgot that was funny. At least Pee-Wee-Herman. was in an X-rated movie theater. I'm just saying. Dude, he's got his white t-shirt owned pulled up. He looks like Winnie the Pooh jerking it from

his laptop. Then he came back. So let's start there. To quote Jay Leno, what the hell were you thinking? Well, obviously, I wasn't thinking very well or very much. And it was something

that was inexplicable to me. I think one point, I wouldn't exactly say in my defense because nothing is really in my defense, I didn't think I was on the call. I didn't think other people could see me. Hopefully. You thought that you had turned off your camera? Correct. I thought that I had turned off the Zoom call. Now, that's not a defense. This was deeply moronic and indefensible, but, I mean, that is part of the story. And, you know, I have spent this seven subsequent months. Here we go.

What is he done? What is he done? Miserable months in my life, I can certainly confess. Trying to be a better person. I mean, in therapy, trying to do some public service, working in a food bank, which I certainly To be clear, I didn't jack off once. I don't think I want them around my food. Let's just, no, you have to work here.

That's fine. We're good. We're good. We're good. We've got enough people today. We're fine. Totally. Really?

It looks like there's some... No, no, no, no, no. It's... Thank you. Seriously, thank you, though. Oh, Jeff. Damn. I'm working in a food...

I was caught whacking it, so I went and worked in a food bank. Whatever helps, man. All right, so it's not him, huh? No, no, no, no. It's not Chris Rab, who's 46. Damn. I would have thought, honestly,

he would have been my first one in the death pool. More of a star in the CKY days, I think. But he's great. So good. No, I'm going to give it the Dumb Zone birthday of the day to Adam Boehner. He's 44. You can look him up. It's B-A-H-N-E-R.

Adam Boehner. Oh, my God. I know. You may know him as Tazun. Conday. Chocolate rain guy. Chalkal rain. Some stay dry while others feel the pain.

Chocolate rain. How old? He's 43. He's 44 now. Oh, sorry, my bad. Yeah, that's crazy. I sat next to him. Yeah, I remember his bathing suit.

At a summer bash. What? A bathing suit? Yeah, he's wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a bathing suit. It's sneaky piece. It flew. For a man. Oh,

shit. To sing at Summer Bash one year. It was great. And the funniest thing was, this is a very serious young man. And this song, as no one, when we booked him,

I think it took till after he had left for us to kind of collectively discover, probably through Jake, telling us like, hey, this song is like a civil rights anthem. This is a, about the struggle and the oppression and the...

He's like one of these kids that got a college degree at 16, you know? Yeah, he's like a genius. Yeah, but the song is just about the long struggle and where... And we thought, this is such a silly song about chocolate. And it went viral, like we couldn't get Latarian. So why don't we get this clown? Yeah. And we got him, and he's now at Summer Bash sitting in the air-conditioned green room with me.

Like just me and him at a table Like what am I going to talk to him about besides your funny song Like I like videos I totally love YouTube bro Man It's good times That was the inspiration honestly for us booking shovel girl one day On the show is like Just find these folks

Yeah Born on the Stay Now Dead Jeffrey Dahmer The Notorious BIG Chris Benoit the Canadian professional wrestler who worked for various promotions during his 22-year career, despite his accomplishments,

he's more generally known for murdering his wife and youngest son before committing suicide. Henry Warren died on this day, excuse me, born on this day, he was the inventor of the electric clock,

not Ahmed Mohammed, as you would believe. Plato, born on this day. That would get you kicked out of A&M. And Bobby Cox. Born on this day now, dead. Beat his wife with a bullpen phone.

It wasn't the bullpen phone. He was at home. He didn't. Dead on this day is still dead. I'll give you one, Jake. Although, it would be cool to have a bullpen phone at home. Jim Ursay. Damn, damn, damn, damn.

Owner of the original Alcoholics Anonymous Transcript, which I think he paid like $5 million for. Carly? Carly? And that's what happened. We like. On this day in history. We like.

It's time for closing remarks. This is brought to us by Frankel and Frankel. Personal injury attorneys. In fact, just talked to somebody the other day who was involved, or his wife was involved in a little bit of a incident at school. pickup line, I think, and she did get rear-ended or whatnot and had a personal injury, called the Frankles. Had Gene Burkett on the line within minutes. He's a partner, because you're going to talk to a partner, and they'll kind of shoot you straight.

He's just talking to her about her different, you know, it's not a horrible, horrific injury or anything. So he's just kind of talking her through her different options. Might not end up using Frankel, but that's what's great about calling Frankel and Frankel. they will shoot you straight. They have a wonderful, wonderful backstory as well. We'll be hearing about them soon on Business Wednesday near you. So Frankl and Frankel, 214 or then 817, all threes. That's how you get a hold of them.

Personal injury attorneys. They are the best, Jerry, the best. Big Lou. Lewis. He's on meds too. Anybody ever call you Louie? Yeah, when I was a kid, I was Screwy Louie. Oh, that's not fun.

That's not. You're a little. Could be worse. Yeah. I've been wondering about the kid that decides to go, my son's middle name is Lewis. Oh. And I've always, you knew those kids growing up, right? And I never knew, like, how they arrived at that distinction.

Did the parent decide, hey, we intended to call him by the middle name from Jump? Or is it like with T.C., who at some point when he was a kid started calling his mom and dad, had Linda and Tom, and there was nothing they could do about it. Like, can a kid just decide I'm a middle name now? Because I like the name Lewis. It's my middle name. That is your middle name? Yeah, I'm a third.

Okay, so that's usually probably what it is, right? It's a generational thing and you just pick one. Yeah, I always say it made it easy at Christmas time. Okay. So I wouldn't open it up, you know, grandpa's presents. Okay. Interesting. His red man?

Yeah. He got sardines. He would get a sock. It was like 40. This guy's 43. I know. That's not a good. His grandpa was getting sardines.

It's not a good. It's not going to help my argument. He loved him. Do you have any closing remarks? Do you have anything you would like to yell at Blake about? No, I do agree on 12, 12, 25. You made a comment about leaving food to sit out to heat it up later? Yeah.

I do the same thing. Thank you. If I've got some, yeah, something in a sausage biscuits. Yep. The bread heats up way faster. Sure. So let it sit out, let it get the room temp, and then heat it up in the market wave. Yes.

Come with you 100%. Thank you. He had to write that note down because he never agrees with you. I'll take it how I can get it. Finally, one time I'm... I, the one that my wife hates the most, and I'm not trying to put this on you, Lewis, but if I leave... food in my car

overnight. Oh, no. And it's of most types of food. If I get out to the car the next day, it's just ready to eat. It's warm now.

It's a piece of pizza, half a burger, whatever. I'll just eat it. She really hates that one. Sorry, Lewis. I can't say I've done that. Bad beat.

Huge fan of Alyssa of Malicellum. Yeah. Except when she's doing the commercial with the rescue the pets. Yeah. That's hard to finish. I think, yeah. No, we got you.

Well, it's hard to, basically it's just hard to keep a boner through. Yeah. You're trying to live until the next. That's one of the really strategically tactful things about the SPCA is they chose Sarah McLaughlin because she's a lesbian. They knew that you'd never be, like, fired up. You'd focus on the dog. So it kind of has to be that, you know? They can't have like a hot.

That's a great point. Yeah, this was before DVR days, I believe. Yeah. Thank you for bringing back to TiVo song. I do love it. It's nice. Tell me to tell me to tell me what's on my Ti-Boh. Oh, no, oh no.

You're like, I don't know about that one. Not for one player, though. There could be eight errors on one play. I'll give you that. Right? This is enough support. Don't answer any more of his questions. Are this the best our case is going to get?

And then Dan, I support backing in at events, just to help expedite getting out. It is definitely beneficial. Ice coffee does suck. Hey. Me and my wife do have separate blankets. Lola. And, yes, I do need a Lola blanket.

DeFire. Yeah. And I know you were a fan of the Laura Kightlinger show many, many years ago. Yeah. And I, too, was a fan. Okay. The second person I've ever met. Seriously, I've never met.

Thank you for watching my video. Subscribe and type for my name if you want to watch more of my video. Vaping has become a very big business, as I understand. Like a giant business in a very short period of time. But we can't allow people to get sick and we can't have our youth be so affected. And I'm hearing it and that's how the first one got a son together that is a beautiful young man and she feels very, very strongly about it, especially vaping as it pertains to innocent children.

Innocent children. Innocent children. And they're coming home in this name. Mom or waterpe.
