Which way you want to face to talk about Qualus roofing? One of the originals, one of the pillars of our Dumb Zone society.

One of a few pillars. Oddly, the foundation. Yes, the roof is the foundation. They're one of our sponsors for the generic summer event coming up next Saturday. Roofs. And they might even call them our first sponsor. Hot right now. Weather.

Oh, yeah. Big problems. What are we going to do? Are we going to trust the guy that just shows up the day after a big storm and he's just got a truck full of dudes? And he's like, yeah, what if we just start working on your roof right now? Are you going to trust some spam text that says, hey, this is Steve with a local roofing?

Are you interested in a quote? How about Qualis roofing? Yeah, I don't want to go with a local roofing. Trust them who have helped hundreds, maybe even thousands now. You know that they're trustworthy because, they have a drone. QualisGC.com. Any listener that gets a roof with Qualis,

they will pay for a 690 sit-in in studio on your behalf. It all starts with that roof inspection. Have them come out. They'll do that for free. 8175009-008 or QualisGC.com. And happy, we had to write that on your check today. Oh, man, I'm still doing 1999. This is the dumb zone.

I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jake Kim. I'm Blake Jones. And we are back home in our game day men's health studio, downtown Dallas. It's the Fox 4 building. We won't be here for long. We understand. Moving in the fall.

The countdown in the hallway says 152 days. That's for the whole everybody to be moved, right? Or is that for the first? What do you know? I know they have a timer out there that says 152 days. Two days. Okay. Yeah, we think we're moving.

They've told us we are. So we're going to show up and just see if we can get in. No, we're definitely moving because John Kukla, our man downtown, right there next to Qualis when it comes to foundational pieces of the Dumb Zone Empire. He sent us an email regarding the layout of the building. I think our guest today might be an architect, one of our sit-ins, or some. architect adjacent. Yes, architect.

And it wanted us to look at a grid with some piping on it. And it was for us to approve it. And it, I don't know that I can add this to my list of things I want. It's probably never going to come up. But that was a great opportunity for John Kukla to have a real reason to send an email that said something like trying to get this pipe and just attaching the grid, the pipe grid that he needed us to approve. You're criticizing his...

Not criticizing. I just worked there. He could have done better. J.R. Smith. Could have been funny. Ruin the term pipe for me. And you're like, if we had a standings, like a category, you're the league leader. Like if we had an e-break.

Of what? People. Number of terms. You used the term pipe? Yes, you're on that list. But terms that have been ruined, how many of them are by like the same person, you're easily. That's good point. Yeah.

Like what? Name one other thing. I've never ruined anything. See? Presumptuous. Og. Clam. clam

clam big time dude clam that's been some time since we dusted off clam uh really and sure it's uh it's in sure yeah

can out clam in anyway we do have a sit-eye sit-in multiple sit-ins uh who's the architect what's your name Chloe

Chloe Ingraham Chloe and of course Lane Ingram. Yes, the therapist guy in Austin. Therapist. Odd word, if you look at it, you break it down after the first three letters, just separate those.

Tell me about it. This is Instagram handles. You don't want to put like Lane Therapist. Lane the Rapist. Yeah, exactly. Or The Rapy Lane. Not good. Therapy Lane, okay.

So that's why you can't do those. Did you grow up there? Therapy Lane. The rapy Lane. The rapey Lane. I grew up on... Anyway. No, I grew up on a therapist, Wayne.

You could try it on there too, right? You do something fun with it. It doesn't have to be rape. You've even therapist some of our listeners, right? Many listeners. I would say probably at least 20, 25 clients over the last couple years have come from the problems. Y'all are wonderful.

You don't need to have problems. Therapies for everyone. However, we do have a problem. Oh, it's not if he may have more power than we realize. It's like he's got the collective. of the listenership. That's a problem. He's a threat.

Or he could be a, you know, if we compensate him enough, maybe he'll, excuse me, sorry. He hypnotizes people of never canceling their subscription. Yeah, this could be mutually beneficial. Yes, sci-ops. You're only giving $10. Rogan hasn't tried this. Infiltry.

Maybe we get a book in schools, you know? That seems to be a big deal. Well, thanks for coming out. I know you're from Austin, right? Yes. And they were going to be here yesterday, and they graciously allowed us to have Memorial Day off. Yeah, you're welcome.

Oh, you wanted the Memorial Day sit in. Yeah, no, well, this way we get to take two days off of the work week. Yeah, that is beneficial for us. Even better. We were all just so busy. And we'll tell you about that in our weekend check, which is brought to us by Triumph. I have a complaint about Trident.

So you know how I got home last week for my two-week road trip. And I was really looking forward to being greeted at the door by our CEO and our HR department leader. So I got two old dogs. And they sleep in the room right above the garage where we broadcast sometimes. Back in the old days, you opened that garage. I swear to God, I opened the door to nothing. I had to go yell upstairs and then they run downstairs. Like, they did not hear the garage.

The garage is effing silent. And that's just one of the many things. Well, I guess that's one of the main things that Trident Garage doors can do for you. It's like putting a silencer on your garage. I mean, they came up. They just kind of did the tune up thing where they recalibrate. I don't know what they, you're right, bearings. They got stuff.

Adjustment. Replacement, repair, springs or something. I don't know. Spring. Weather stripping. Yeah. So they're great. And they've helped out. plenty of our listeners as well. TX Trident.com is the website 81751212.

Jeremy is our man over there. Jeremy! Veteran and first responder owned. And yeah, if you're doing construction, you're remodeling, not just your garage door, though, also gates. If you want to put out like some huge gates that say prime real big across it or something. What if it said Antonio? Yeah.

It's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. Sports joke? No. No? Tell up yourself. TXTrydant.com for the week of the show.

Yeah, let's do it like the commencement speaker at my daughter's graduation. It's like, what about Antonio? Not a round of applause. Like she'd say something and then clap. I couldn't stop thinking about that lady. That whole operation, really all weekend, man. That's all I did all weekend. There's my check.

No, it's just the type of, we're over-applauded, is my conclusion. Over-applauded. We have, it's insane. Insane. After going through first grade ceremony, graduation season, all of it. I just think there's like, people just like to be able to get a group of people to respond to them.

A little bit of power. The rapist lane can. Yeah. Well, someone, we're all trained seals. Hey, everybody, give it up once again for so-and-so. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, here we go. Giving it up again. We all just do it. Nobody wants to. Anyways. All right, I'll go. I need to talk to establish the run guy. Okay.

Because once again, my backdoor battery is like low. So I got to change the battery, but then I go to the app, and then the app won't load because the iPhone update, and then I had to have my name and password, and I have to use one of my five different email addresses and try and figure out which one it is. and then the app doesn't tell me that it doesn't say that email is not in our system it makes you go to that email get the number that they sent the email and then put the number in and goes that email so i did this six it's terrible uh i just want a key for my door yeah can i just do you remember the days and i would just hide it under a rock outside uh now i have to just do all these things um and if your phone you don't have your phone and i can't get in the it's it's uh it's uh It's insane.

Too many apps. Too many apps. Yeah, I think probably because we spent our money like getting old home. Like we don't have all that stuff. I don't have smart stuff. Is that what you'd call it? Yeah. I don't control anything with my phone.

And I think I'm glad that I'm holding out because I know that at some point the Reapers come. We don't even have like the, we have like an alarm system that you set by the panel. Is it one of those where like when they walk in, the, it, it clips the string and then the paint can flies down and hit you in the forehead. Yeah, there's a huge like leaves fall out.

Anvil. Leaves, leaves, anvil. What is they, what are they actually used for? Anvils? Yeah. Sharpening tools. Blacksmith work. Yeah. You would make a big giant thing just to sharpen a tool. Just to hammer your stuff on?

Yeah. All right. I thought they were... Drop on coyotes. Those horses aren't getting shued. magically. So if you trip that thing, the alarm company calls you? Yeah. Are you still having to go through that? Yeah.

I hated that. It sucks. I always had a hard time. Electricity goes out. What's the password? Oh, um. Yeah, I don't know. Now I'm sounding fishy and I'm aware of it.

Like, I promise I live here. I just don't. Can you give me a hit? You're like, uh, you're like, uh, all right. Mothers. You have to remember it was a different time, but it's, uh, DEI rules.

You have a real embarrassing It's what's up? That's one too many S's. Okay. I'll give you a little sports in my weekend check because I found out that the Reds had a day this Saturday to celebrate because it was on his birthday.

It was to celebrate Dummy Hoy Day. Do you remember Dummy Hoy? Sure. He's the deaf. Yeah. player in Major League Baseball in the late 1800s, 1888 to 1902. Marty Brennaman, Tham's dad, and longtime Reds broadcaster, is leading a charge to try and get Dummy Hoy into the Hall of Fame.

Okay. Brenaman, who wears hearing aids. So he's doing an identity thing? He feels him. He's old. There's no question there's a movement underway to try and make people aware of what his accomplishments were, which were even more magnified by the fact that this guy is deaf. In ever. This guy?

This guy. No, I... The main thing with Dummy Hoy. it's not being deaf is that historians say he was the catalyst for inventing hand signals and signs that are used in the game today so like your safes and your outs and your

don't mean to demean this and maybe it's not but I feel like we would have got there don't know no but it is that's incredible to be able to pull that off shouldn't there be more deaf players then considering how How come it was only in the late 1800s? Why? It doesn't make sense, right?

Like percentages, all that. Are you telling me that there's been no... Right. No one with Major League athletic ability born deaf? Especially since... Since 1888? That book that I read a couple years ago, maybe we should revisit it, the sports gene.

It... Although I think people aren't born deaf as much, right? Weren't they using, like, big clamps to get a baby out of the mom in a day and they would just puncture its ear or something? And they were smoking cigarettes. Oh, it's deaf. Blowing it into its ear. Yeah, I think that's what they did for antiseptic.

But I think probably there are fewer deaf people, but still, I think it tracks. There should be more because that book pointed out the real outlier quality of a major league baseball player is their eyesight. And it was when they went and tried to, you know, do some advanced testing with these guys in, like, spring trainings. They came back and compared it and it was like mind blowing. Yeah. like Barry Bond's eyesight is. Yeah, Ted Williams was famous. And I'm led to believe by documentaries with superheroes

that if you go deaf, right, eyes just through the route. So you would think that it would basically be a league of deaf people. Right. Like, yes, the percentages should weigh outweigh. Right, right. You would remember the first guy who could hear and they would retire as Jersey.

And then there'd be a lot of protesting because how can we only have two death managers? Right. Shouldn't there be representative of the place? that these fellas that can hear can carry out the job of a manager. Right. And they're better because they don't hear somebody heckling them. Dude, I was going to say, I'd rather be dummy Hoy than the guy who had Tourette's had to retire. Right.

Jim Eisenreich. Yeah. That's how the glove over the mouth works so well. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. This guy was locked in. I'm seeing there was one guy that played Curtis Pride who played from 93 to 06. Curtis Pride was deaf?

That's what I'm seeing here. I've heard that name and thought, that's not, okay. That's the name of a deaf man. Expos, Red Sox and Tigers. That's why they had Pride Night. Hey, oh. He's back. The Rangers are real rock in a hard place.

They refused to accept the trade for Curtis Pride. I think I'm really getting old now because over the weekend, I lost both my credit card and my watch. And I went and found them. So it was Friday, early evening. Then I got home at night and noticed, I don't let my credit card on me. I left it at, I lost it at Kroger.

He's walking around Kroger. The nice folks at Kroger did save it, find it. Somebody found it and handed it in. So I drove back to Kroger and got my credit card. And then I left my watch at the gym, just lying on the floor. So it was 24-hour fitness. You know, the floor area where you first walk in, you could do stretching and stuff.

So I did the stretching, but I put my watch in my pocket so when I walk around, I can still get my steps. Sure. Why don't you just leave it on your wrist again? I don't want to work out with a watch on. Okay. Is it that big? It's his Apple Watch.

Yeah, do you want to, like I got athletic wear, you know, but I just got a watch. When I'm wearing my hoop, I wear it. When you're throwing up your 100s? Is it that? I have a pocket protector in and a watch. Don't you say, don't you feel? like 90% of the people in the gym when they're working out have something on their wrist now?

I don't know. I don't look at the other people. You don't want to see your heart rate? Yeah, I mean, I think that's crazy. As health conscious as you are, like, isn't your whole deal getting the heart rate during your workout? I can put it on his ankle. Dude, I get pissed off if I don't.

My workout's really weak. No. Just the fact that I go is. No. You want to, well. I'm just moving. I don't want to tell you how to do you, but. Anyway.

You would not look. silly to have the Apple Watch on. You were crushing. I wanted to tell you that. And, yeah, I did the find my phone the other way around, though. Made the watch make noise. And there it was. And lying in the same place. No one looked at it. No one touched it. It was there for like over an hour. Just lying in the middle of the floor. That's good societal. I think. So I think at the gym you're generally just concerned with yourself,

though. You're living in your own little world. At least I am. Maybe everybody else is. Poon, which based on social media seems to be. at least not uncommon. A couple more quick things. One is a movie bit. So I'm going to add a new movie bit. I don't think it's on our list.

But I noticed it when I was watching the series finale of the boys, which we'll talk about later this week. It's when... Superman lost a bunch of money on Polly Market. So there's a few people in the room. One of the characters of the show is not in the room or in the movie.

So the character is talking and giving something And he will deliver a line Or he will be talking And then the other character will And he walks in Finish the line Like you know what I mean Like as if they were listening to the whole conversation

For two minutes But then they kind of have the next word in the conversation even though they hadn't been listening, they're out of the room. Keep an eye out for that. Okay. My last thing from the weekend is my daughter is visiting, my youngest daughter, visiting from just being done with college. She's the liberal daughter, the liberal arts,

has no job, is going to live in Brooklyn and look for a job while she works at the grocery store. And does that make you feel good? Yeah. It really does. The four-year, or the, I don't know, all the money. I'm not saying anything's wrong, but I'm saying, isn't this, like, what this generation's going through? Yeah.

You spent all the money on a degree, and then you... Then all of a sudden, you're working at a grocery store? Then there's no job to be had. Or that lands up in a group. Well, yeah, talk to me in a year, and if she's still looking. Okay. I mean, I graduated and was a similar thing. I worked at a...

You probably got to go, like, talk to you 10 years. Laundermat for a little while. Well, at least get something in a year. don't you think you know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't trying to poopoo on it i'm just saying that's a sad reality i don't i think it's uh probably a sad reality but also even in the best of times the reality of the arts like if you want to go do something that's fun or you want to do i don't really know anybody unless you know somebody when you get out of college you're not there is no job right if you're in the content side of things like when in any

any way, shape, or form. I don't know anybody who just go, I mean, at best, you might be going to, like, the decision she might be making or somebody like her is, like, I'm not going to go live in, like, Lufkin for two years. I'm going to live in a city, work another job, hustle my passion thing to become a job. You know what I mean? It's a stepping stone to the job. We're hippie weirdos from Austin, so we think it's awesome that your daughter did that.

then what was the college for? Because this is, in your unique case, because you learned how to do a lot of stuff on the job, but if you want to produce a TV show, you, there is, most people are not just getting to go intern at the ticket at 18 and learn everything from there. You have to figure out a way to,

like Henry, our former intern, produces a nightly TV show at Mizzou. How else is he going to learn to do that? if he doesn't go to college. There's really no way. There's no, we don't have like... Yeah, so she did have classes, you know, TV directing. They had the right thing.

She knows how to write sketches and commercials. That's awesome. The people who write that shit you see on TV had to learn how to do it somewhere. You're just somewhat unique in that you did learn a lot of this stuff on the job. I'm not trying to bring it back to me, but I thought that's what the college was for

is to network and to put you in a position, a better position than just starting from absolute sketch. But you asked what you do at college, and I'm saying you learn. how to do the job. So she's not absolute scratch because she has that on her resume. And she's also moving in with a couple of other people. I assume you meet in college.

Now you go and you've got the people you've done theater with in this place and that place. And, of course, you've started networking. I just don't think you're, it's expecting a lot to be like turnkey into I have a job out of college in that game. Well, and what I'm not. I'm not, I didn't mean, I didn't mean for instance of come off that way. bar. Like this is not, this is what would happen. This is the norm. I just think that sucks to spend four years somewhere and all that money to just, yep. Well, but that's,

where your journey begins. But that's happening with all professions. Like everyone is seeing that. Like, the world sucks. Like, this is what happens under a fascist regime. But also, no, no, no there everyone. Capitalism more than fascist in my opinion. But, um, everyone's going back to school. Like, I'm, I bet you in a year she'll find a grad program to go back to school. People always say that's like a misd indicator of a grad schools are filling up like crazy. People always say that's a sign of a recession. Yeah. Huge

time. Of a recession. But I don't know, dude, like she, you learn how to do the craft and now you're in a position to go get the job. There's just not, I don't think there's many jobs ever where you just walk out and you're in good shit. Yeah, I have a cousin that just graduated

from TCU with a biology degree. I'll let you know her her job search goes because she doesn't have anything right anything lined up she graduated two weeks ago biology well see that's a stem field you would think like try nutrition yeah that's what i was going to say too blake is also in these type of fields sometimes you there's like a supreme imbalance in you make nothing nothing nothing nothing for a long time then if it works out well hopefully you're able to like maybe pay it off right like there's My friends all made way, way more than I did for the first 10-plus years out of college, like way more.

And then you're hoping that at some point, you know, and you've got to, like, do side hustles along the way. So, I don't know. It ain't Wall Street, you know? Yeah, I guess that's what I was picturing. Yeah, I have the same degree. It's like, walk in. Hello, Netflix. Like, she walks in and, ta-ton.

You're like, all right. She'll network in Brooklyn, though, I bet. For sure. She's going to make, it's that, what, lateral network. working that pays off. In a few years, I bet she'll have it she'll have it all figured out. Lateral network. She's in McDowell. She's going to have it figured out.

I like that. Were you saying something about your degree? I have the same degree she does. Journalism broadcasting? Uh-huh. And it was the same way. Like I got out of school and I had a couple of small gigs in Dallas and then I went to a small town and started. And then I had friends that were at that small town that did the Blake route where they just started working there when they're 18 because small TV networks need people that'll work for minimum wage.

I would watch Clayton in Brooklyn, the sitcom. But to that point, I have friends in media in New York, so contacts. All right. Might be needing them. Anyway, so she's in town, so I'm hanging out with her a little bit. And she saw something on the counter, somebody who's. had sent me, one of our listeners. Uh-oh.

And this wasn't like when she found the mug, the docking mug, which just said the word docking and then had a description of what docking was. When she read that, that was more of a learning for her. But this was more learning for me when she saw what somebody had sent me. She said, ah, this is the new bit. Everybody's into this. It's very millennial. It's very hipster.

What I'm a part of now, really. So when you look at me, you do think, hip. Definitely. Is he millennial? Well, the question is, as a question posed, an article I was looking at this morning to get ready for this, are we ready for canned fish summer 2020? No, no one is saying that.

No one is saying that. Tim the seafood. Of course it came in the mail. No, no, no. No, somebody had sent me the tin, remember the stuff? Yeah, yeah. And she's like, oh, like all her friends are into this. TikTok, this is all about, this is what everybody is into.

I smelled trouble, no pun intended, when Philip Kingston was all over. I was like, this must be very cool. Tin seafood has gained more popularity among consumers for its affordability and nutritional value. Something you used to eat with dry crackers during a lean month has become a status food. Status food. That's right. You're mauginous? I am maugging you.

food maugging you. Damn the influencer. Two things have driven this. Economic anxiety. Accelerated demand for affordable shelf stable proteins. I got an affordable protein for you too. And at the same time, it's also canned. Add protein to the list.

Yeah, that's another word to you list. No doubt. What's that? I've ruined that word. You've ruined the word protein. Protein shake. Whenever you're drinking protein shake, you're thinking of my... It's like calm.

Rod Stewart. Is Rod Stewart on your list? Others somewhat at least participated. Also, guess who's on the list by themselves with sardines? At the same time as economic anxiety, we have social media transforming tinfish from a basic pantry item to a premium food choice through enhanced presentation and communication about sourcing and preparation. It's pretty funny about how one of his daughters that he had to send through college is now

mocking the fact that he has to eat fish out of a tin when she was actually a part of the economic anxiety. How's the bread line? Yeah. She's not mocking it. She's saying that I'm hip and I'm cool and everything. She wants every dad to be poor. She wants every dad to be.

They have a new thing. You're familiar with charcuttery boards. What about sea cutery boards? That's right. That will feature your tin fish. Go to TikTok Search hashtag Tinned fish

Over 91 million views And you could see the influencers showcasing their gourmet Couterie boards Chloe, big fan of The Tind Meats Of course she is Why wouldn't you be?

It's delicious Yeah, it's nutritious Looks like cat food Economical Tuna Maxing It's because it is I've never liked it I've never been a tuna fish

With things I don't like necessarily. Sure, yeah. You don't want to just eat it straight. Not a rube. These people are gross. They're covering it in chocolate.

Okay. Have you tried it? No, thank you. Well, I'm just saying. No, Drew, it's bacon. One of my dreams is to make Dana influencer on TikTok. You ever crack a can open on like a crowded flight? No, I've never cracked a can open anywhere, but because it's a very messy proclamation.

Do you thump it like dip? Orly. Juice. The oils. Like a can of skull. And then if the little tab breaks off, he's got to get the fork out and start. I once had to do that. Bring back human centipede.

This is disgusting. It's so gross. Maybe you can get a tin fish sponsor. Well, I would love to work on that. Artisanal. Dan here for sardines. I tell you what. I can promise you that if we deal with a sardine company, they're going to deal with you fairly.

Yeah. Just like Fairlease does. Fairleased does. I was trying. How can I make this? No, the 10 fish of leasing. Yeah, economical. There's no middleman.

But everybody's into it? Right. Just get the most bang for your buck. Maybe you have a bad leasing agreement with someone like, oh, D&M. They can help you out of that. They can help with you regarding your credit situation because they're affiliated with the credit union of Texas. It's a community bank. There's no middleman here.

They've killed the middlemen and middle women, too. We're sacrificed here. Fairlease.org, click request a quote and then tell them the dumb zone sent you or ask for Connor or Nick. You call 972-705-4815. Fair lease, when you don't know what to do about a car stuff is hard. But not with Fair lease. You don't need a dealership, baby. Clayton, what do you got?

Thanks, Jake. Um, that just always gets Blake and I just like to make Blake smile. Friday night went to see our good friend Jimmy Nelson with his friends. Amy was there and Will. Horny or unhorny? Horny Amy and Will that she met last year at the GSC. Yes. And this, it was at a...

Are they hooking up? I don't know enough to comment. I don't get into our DF's personal lives. Okay. Well, we hooked them up. That's my job. Yeah, Lane can tell you. They signed.

Would you tell us if they went to therapy? I'm not psycho. I want to know the rules on that. No, they signed something saying that they would send us a drop box link of a video if they ever hooked up. And I haven't seen anything. So I don't think anything. Well, they sent something, but it was in 480.

This was a punchline? Yeah, Punchline Irving. New Comedy Club, right by the Texas or the Toyota Music Factory. Great crowd for the most part. There's only us three from the dumb zone that I noticed there, or that came up and like said it when we were talking with Jimmy after the show. It was a good crowd. Yeah, it was a good crowd. A lot of whites.

Well, yeah. Which goes into my next point. uh his three acts his uh his host and two of the other acts were just like black comics that he was friends with and you could tell that they were having to like kind of change their jokes for the room of whites um and then a surprise laurence rzalus i had a little uh laurence rzalus working on some new material post special taping so that was very interesting Jimmy was great. The thing that kind of overshadowed his set was you got a bloody nose during the middle of his set.

What the heck? Just in the middle of a joke. He just has blood just shoot straight down his face. That's how you know you're famous, man. Coke? You already started. Stay away from Coke. Absolutely whatever he thinks.

Sure. It could be an altitude thing. And stage. Yeah, up in Irving. Yeah, the high alps of Los Kalinas, the hills. Um, so yeah, someone threw him a tampon, he just shoved him up his nose. Y'all just carrying tampons around like that? You can.

The people mostly? Yeah, ladies have tampons in their place. Chloe's here to answer all your tampon questions. I didn't hesitate. Yeah. Why wouldn't they? You got to be. Um, because I think I thought.

Just in case, you know. Yeah. Well, I guess the thing is that I've learned as a guy older. Or an old, oily rag. Just carry one of those things. That's what I... No, I guess I just... I don't know...

I think there's a certain point that women get to where there's no surprises. Like, I don't think I've been around a woman. I think she's been like... And that's why they carry a tampon, just in case. There's not a surprise. I know it's coming up here. They may not care it the whole time.

But you don't throw it in there before it starts, right? Like a couple days before you don't put it in there. Not preemptively. Yeah, so you throw one in your purse. That's the oily rag to me. But I'm just pointing out of it. Like I think you forget, Dan, that a lot of women just don't have periods anymore. Women are such procrastinators.

I actually had a procedure to remove that ability. Yeah, to remove the demon. Yeah. Yeah. How does it work? No, it's called an endometrial ablation. And they basically remove your uterine lining. Because I was finding that, like, my symptoms were just getting worse and worse and worse.

And I hated it. And we're child free. So there's no reason for me to have one. So I had it done. The symptoms are like, like, like discontalienable. Discomfort, but also like emotional, just feeling out of control. Just it was really brutal. So I said, why I do this to myself?

Look how happy Lane looks. Yeah, she's, and it's saved our marriage. Wow, this guy's doing a live spot. We're doing a live spot for endometrial ablation. These are the Ingrams for Vag Surgery. Ablation. Yeah. It's just a little simple, like, category.

Yeah. Interesting. Did not know I'd be done with it. No follow-up questions? Could be helping someone out there. Honestly, honestly, I didn't know about that procedure beforehand. I think it should be known as an option for women. It's a game changer.

Yeah, especially like if women are like done having children, also an option. Yeah, so you don't. Could be a run-the-ball move when you think about it. Kind of a run-the-ball type stitch. I love it. You get Clayton? I totally forgot what else I did this weekend after. Okay.

Well, I can go. I had a listener birthday party on Saturday. And just to reset the bit, I need help on the weekends, killing time with my boys. If you're a listener and you're having a kid birthday party, anywhere from the age of one to 19, I'll go. It helps me kill a couple hours. So I had one on Saturday. We've been to enough of these where I woke Brooks up on Saturday and said, hey, we got a birthday party to go to. And he goes, where's the party?

I said, Slick City. He goes, what kind of party is it? I said it's a Mario party. How old's the kid? That's six. He's like, all right, got it. It's like a detective. Like, what are the details?

It's incredible. And then does he just start playing with the kids? Yeah. Eating cake. Oh, yeah. Like he's one of their group, like they don't even know. It's like, they're just not like, oh, this is one outsider. No.

I saw somebody note that this weekend talking about some summer camp that they send their kids. to at the age of 10, and they pointed out, like, they'll still make friends. It's before the age where they all become so worried about everything that, yeah, you can just parachute Brooks in anywhere at that age still. That's awesome. I don't know that you understand the level of experience that he's getting out of this. Like, he's going to look back on this. Yeah, his social skills are going to be great.

He could be coach of the Cowboys one day. He made quick friends with everybody, including the birthday kit. But it's, again, my favorite part of the entire thing. Is everyone singing happy birthday and watching him just go cold? He just goes look on graphic for final two bullet points. Happy birthday to you. But no, he knows you play. And you don't bring a present for the kid?

I bring something for the parents. The kids don't need anything. Right. And the parents really don't need another toy to contemplate whether to open. So what do you bring to the parents? The parents appreciate that. A little dumb zone mug? A little gift card for a night out.

A C4. Yeah. Or an alpha bomb. Now, I bring something through the parents because they're doing, ultimately they're doing me as solid. But he knows you play, then you go eat pizza and cupcakes, you go back to play, and then we leave. It's great.

That's a whole summer. That's a pro move. Thank you. Dude. That's amazing. First down. Yes, first down. More people graduated this year than ever in history.

I saw more inflatables in front yards, It's more congratulations graduate. Inflatables, man. What's up? Yeah. I noticed that at Lowe's this weekend, yeah. Yeah. Like, we used to have just Christmas.

Now it's, what if we had at Halloween? Now, what's graduation? Overinflated. Big time. Oh, yeah. Big time, big time. It's a give up. So I went to a graduation party for family friends.

This, uh, it was for a girl who had just graduated high school. and it was a pool party. And so there were high school boys and girls there. And the boys decided they were going to throw the graduate in the pool. Pool party. It's what you do, I guess. She put up a fight. It was not going to let it happen.

I don't like the side of that. No. It made very awkward vibe for really everyone. Until grandma came out there, saw what was going on. And she told the girl, sometimes you just need to lay back and let her. it happened. Whoa.

I felt that was really rapy. I did not like that. Gam Gam, damn. Different time. That was what I was thinking. Is her her day? Oh, boys are just being boys.

Sometimes you just got to lay there and let it happen. And look, it's got her to where she is today. Wise old woman. Yeah. Yeah. And it saved our marriage. That stuff. That stuff always rocks you, but it doesn't change that it's like a

societal thing, right? I've told you guys before, one of the really short-circuited me, I had an elderly female family member early in Trump times and they were debating like his relationship with women and her thought was like

how can he possibly hate women? Like look at all the beautiful women that have been around him his whole life. Yeah, there you know. I understand how you could pot, like, why would they be doing that if he were? And I'm like, boy, I don't yeah, I don't know. I don't know

I don't know what it is about soldiers dying that makes big brands want to give you stuff at a discount price but it's a great weekend for that. Yeah. I was able to get a TV for my dad for Father's Day for half off. And whatever skill a young male or older male has to look at how big your car is and decide if this TV can fit in it, I don't have it.

Not even close. So we get this big TV It's not going to fit my wife's SUV How many inches? How many inches? He wanted a 65 Yeah Gotta go 65 or we're higher

That's a good one Not even close to fitting About 40% of it is hanging out of the back Surprising to me That Blake would have Made this air Not even close So we've got the two kids

The car seats don't help And my wife says We either have to get strapped or call someone with a truck. And I said, I don't want to do either of those things. You're going to have to sit in the back and hold it. And that's what she did. Oh, my God.

So we've got the SUV trunk open. She's holding the strap next to the two boys. Hazards on? Hazards on. Costco? How far? Best buy about, well, what is a 25-minute drive turned into 40? And she's just yapping.

Stop, stop lights. Just yapping. People pulling up behind the car. Like, what the... My legs is asleep. My arm... Don't hit the bump. Go slower.

Don't eat... But the vindication I had as soon as we hit the driveway that we had done it. I wish I could bottle that up. Yes. You got the full back hatch open just on the road? Yeah. On the tollway. I didn't want to call someone...

Hey, come get my teeth. Can you come help? I didn't want to get straps. Let's just go. Just hold it. Man. If only there was like a guy who needs to earn money who's just like available that you could pay to help you with stuff, like you could just match up with. Like someone who could help you with tasks.

Yeah. Or if there's a guy that you listen to his weekend check every weekend that he's doing nothing but eating fast food and hanging out who has a vehicle and no other responsibilities. I'm not going to trouble you. And so. The name of Blink's book. Yeah. Seriously. You have friends.

People want to help you. I'll come up from Austin, bro. We'll hang. Clayton would absolutely swing over. No, because they not feel like I owe them or something. Oh, my God. It's better to be on this side of it. So I thought I learned my lesson.

I can't try. Real friendship is not having to owe someone. I don't trust anybody. So I also, my first step into being this guy, I promise you I will never, putting it on the record. I will never take a picture of the food. I'm cooking, but I did buy myself a grill this weekend.

Bravo. I'm going to get into it. Grill-pilled. What did you get? No idea. Just a gas grill. Okay. Awesome.

Not the big green egg. No, I didn't do that. I needed a, just an entry point into trying to be grill guy. Because I'm meal prepping like Dan and I'm spending way too much on grilled chicken from this place or that place. And I thought, let's just try to save a buck. And I'll try to do it myself. Grilling.

Yeah, grilling is a great way of doing meal prep. Way to go. So I tried to learn my lesson. Now, what you have to do is take the price of the grill. I know. And every time you eat a chicken, you say, okay, that would have been $15, and now it was, and then you might, yeah, and see when you come out on top. I'll catch up in a year and a half. Oh, man, you got, that's so, that's not even close to true, but.

Well, then you have to also tack in the effort. Yeah, all that kind of stuff. If you use propane or chips. But also, like, I mean, when you. you do it, you make six chicken breasts, like at once? That's how many? Like 15. Okay.

So, I mean, you start knocking you off like that. I'm just saying, that's ballpark effect. Yeah, yeah. And the experience of being outside and. These guys don't like outside. I don't really care about that. Outside-y. Why does everybody like to eat outside?

There's always like a fly. It keeps landing right there on the side of your cup. Because we're humans and that's where we were intended to be out there. Uh-uh. I will take grill guy recipes or recommendations. I'm now open for that. So I try to learn my lesson. I mean, that fits.

Yeah. Just his whole persona. I will not take a picture of the food, though. You should be grill guy. And that fits too. I appreciate that. You know what I found, though, and maybe this is just me, but it's also just because I eat a lot of beef.

After like a month of being committed to like, I'm just going to meal prep grilled flank steak or something. And at the end of the day, ground beef is just, I just prefer it. The cost, the cleanup, the everything about it is just, I just think it's better. I don't know if you feel the way about like ground turkey or anything, but I don't know. After doing meal prep on the grill for like four or five weeks in a row, at some point you're like, fuck, this is. He does shit on your whole thing. This is really a lot.

Yeah, he's going to be right. I'm just telling you, like, and we still do it. Like, you know, it's easy. It's just kebab. Just go grab the kebabs from any decent grocery store. They're three bucks each each you don't want. They do that. They're always running specials on this.

Chicken thighs, you can't go wrong with chicken thighs. Did that last night. And I wonder when the grill will have a pork chops. We'll have a cobweb on it. And a light, like a golf club. Yeah, this fall. So I tried to learn my lesson. Did not take the SUV.

So I bought the grill. I had to go back and get it. I took my dad's Jeep this time. I thought, yeah, I'll learn my lesson. This 18-year-old that wheels my grill out to the Jeep won't fit. So here we are again, right? So me and Pierce had to disassemble this grill in the parking lot of Lowe's. I don't know anything, dude.

And so this teenager's like, well, maybe if we take the sides off, take the lid off, and it's 30 minutes in the parking lot, trying to get this stupid grill in there. He's dancing. Yeah. Good kid. Help me, though. I got it home.

And then I learned that we are now not doing grill brushes. Did you know this? What do you got? Well, apparently a bristle can come off and get stuck on the grill. And if that gets into your food, that's a huge problem. That's a huge, huge problem. My wife is a nurse who follows other nurses and doctors who work in the ER, who have seen every little minute thing that could happen in someone's life.

And now we can't do grill brushes. Can't do e-scooters Can't do Tic-Tac? Remember that? Can't do Tic-Tax? Can't do anything. Wait, Tick-Tac. Yeah, they'll choke on it.

Yeah, I showed a Tick-Tac. Because one kid in Iowa choked on a T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-A. Some other people still can do these things. He just can't, because he lives with a hypochondria. Right. So, that's tough. So what do you use instead? Just get a new grill each time.

Every week. Yeah. God, I hope they're on sale this week. Every week, Pierce is helping him out of the slot. Yeah, he sees me coming. Got your grill, Mr. Allen. Hey, I'm a grill guy now. All right.

Congrats. I'm going to be a new floor guy soon because it is the school year's ending. My wife works at a school. So finally, we schedule it for next week. We have Flooring Direct DFWs coming out to our house. What that cost you to book? Zero, actually. You go to FlooringDefW.com.

they bring the floors to you. Good dudes. Dan Ratcliffe is my guy over there. Yeah, known him for many, many years. They're going to be awesome to you. you, because they're awesome to us. Test them. So, quick weekend check for me, went down to Surfside Beach with my family, which is maybe

30 or 40 minutes south of Galveston on the coast. There was some big weather. We had a, I want to say, a 10-year-old drown over the weekend within, like... Not your in your... No, not within ours. I don't think that's me. It wouldn't me. You're playing sad 10-year-old drown?

You're playing radio head because a child dend? Well, he was going to pull up the weather video. Oh, okay. This is a tornado that was out in the... I didn't film this, but it was on Dallas, Texas TV. Somebody filmed out a Galveston. I saw some people calling it like a water spout. Like that that's what they call that.

A rotating thing over the ocean. But I saw something very similar to that. that it felt crazy um but yeah there was like pandemonium and then a few houses down come to find out it was on the news the next day they lost the kid they said he was 150 yards out though whoa my dude that's pretty victim blaming a little bit maybe victim parent blaming but you know who knows stuff happens people get distracted so um we Jesus we had a uh a situation this weekend that was fun to kind of be front row and navigate through, which is my parents have this house down there. They sold their house up here. They rent a house up here now. They bought a house down there.

It is on the beach, but it's a relatively small house. What I mean by relative is like the two houses it's in between are rental houses that maybe 20 to 25 people stay in. Theirs is probably more like six to eight tops, right? There's two and a half bedrooms. sort of two bathrooms. I mean, it's on the beach and it's like up off the ground on like the stilts, you know, type look. But the two houses next to it are huge and they are rented out often. They're not always rented out. They're not always rented out by people that have 25 people.

Maybe sometimes they have 10. Well, this time they both had a lot. And I got there on Friday night late. My family, my parents, my kids were already there. And when I pulled up, there's a lot. there's a dude in the driveway next to us with the DJ table set up. So like right out of the gate, it's like, God, nobody does that to be quiet or even medium, you know? Nobody's medium with a, and it's it's downstairs, you know, it's not even up on,

and now that I started thinking about it, I was like, well, he just didn't want to haul all of his shit up there. He just plopped it out in the driveway. But he's got a computer, a laptop set up. He's got like monitors. it's not just a guy with a beats pill. You know what I mean? He's on duty. And when I pull up, it's straight Zydeco, which, like, my wife doesn't mind to each their own, my friend.

It depends. You know what Zidico is then? No. Like Louisiana music. There's like accordion. Accordian. And it's very popular down there. and it's good for a couple songs maybe if you're in Louisiana.

But the point is it was loud. It was nighttime. And I immediately knew like we're going to be battled this all weekend because, you know, my parents, God bless them, they weren't very, very hard and still do to like have this place. And they don't, they're worried about people tearing it up when they're not there. So they don't love people like parking in the driveway or the grass where they live and using their walkway down there. because they've seen people leaving a bunch of trash and whatever. And they listen to this show, so I'm not, I'll leave the, yes, that's kind of what I would say.

Yeah, yeah, I mean, that's. But man, I just, I was just white knuckling it all weekend because that's a no pun intended. It's important for me to note here, both of these groups of people are probably 95% black. And I don't think that I would want to say something, if they were listening to annoying white people music either. Just because I'm at a stage of life where I'm like... Oh, were you being volunteered to go say something? No, but it's always being discussed.

Because like, let's say when we get inside... Would it be like, hey, Jake... An hour later, it's like 10.30, we're inside. Now, again, these houses are kind of close together, but I cannot stress to you, Dan. And I'm like, chill. Dude, I'm floating around having the greatest time. Sure.

It is fucking loud. like it's so loud and it's you know now it's like 10 30 it's inside the house inside where my my parents are you you can't have a conversation and it's like fuck all right we're gonna stay up late anyways but do you roll no i tried i actually did try but then i started thinking like how would i actually explain to you how close i am to this um but my mom at one point did offer one slight like hey we got the kids could we and that was a positive outcome we didn't have any problems um but the next day you know it's and it's all it's the whole weekend just and at times they were competing two houses of just super loud music and me just watching uh this whole thing play out of

like somebody gonna say something no one ever did like i said my mom and it was cool it's just that That thing, that awkward thing the whole time. It's definitely a lady thing to do, but then you're going to catch the brunt of it if... Well, because I've seen it go bad before. That happened to us on the beach before. My stepdad would say something. Maybe that's the case in point. It was him, not my mom.

Yeah, your cop stepdad. The guy just turns it up a little more and starts, like, blowing cigars smoke at you. And then what? Then what's your play? Yeah, yeah. That's why I just don't make a play? That's why you got to play it out. Like, what are all the options, things that can happen?

Maybe it makes me a beta. Is there even one option where they are like, oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that it was bothering anyone. I thought this blasting music was going to be cool. Didi-de-de-d-du-buayu, and here we come in over to by you. Did you wake up speaking Cajun the next day? Talking like Dr. John. Yeah. Such a night.

Old you would have been over there with him. Well, I mean, I actually don't. Yeah. I don't. I actually kind of was. at times, right? Like, I was hanging out. I was outside smoking.

But I was just kind of in the background, like, this is barely it, but it's kind of it. I searched royalty free. Hey, thank you for that. You went out there and said, I am one of you. Without saying anything at all, you just sort of like lay back, you know?

Like the grandma said. But, let's see. See, I think that's a smart. A smart move. You were nice about it. I think that's a good move. Be nice about it. So we had that.

And then we had, I saw this billboard on the way home. You guys know Gallery furniture in Houston? Do you know what that is? It is the business owned by Mattress Mac. Okay. Who is a big gambler, big Houston icon. Controversial, I guess, to some extent, just because it's Houston and he's really MAGA.

And I saw this billboard on my way to Houston. It was very confused by it. The billboard says galleryfurniture.com, and then it has an image surrounded by a heart. And in the image is like a Olin Mills style photo, recreation photo of Chuck Norris and George H.W. Bush, who's been dead for some time. Yeah.

I know. Chuck also dead. So I assume that they just put this up. And you can see that there's kind of a background of Chuck Norris on stage talking about drugs. But the main thrust of it is just a photo of the two of them enjoying life together and a heart, which is an advertiser for this furniture company. Gone but not forgotten. Every time I see HW, I always think of him goosing women's butts.

And getting like canceled, like, like like right. before he died. You ever hear about that? I know. No. He was so old that it kind of like kind of went a little bit under the rug under the radar. Oh, that's just Grandpa? Yeah, it was very, that's just Grandpa. But he was like pushing it to the limit, like down

on the 50 yard line in a wheelchair, like the ceremonial thing, and he's gusing the female reporter. That's a real. In front of everyone. At least there were a lot of people who said it was, it was for real. Pinching AOC's ass. He didn't fully commit though, because if you notice,

it's just like a drape over billboard. That's true. So it's like the original gallery furniture. Maybe he changes it out every time someone adds to the art. I love that they titled Chuck Norris' drugs thing kick drugs out. Of course, and at the end he probably does a karate kick. A little bit of kids content corner. By the way, I want to spell that with all C's.

That's what we'll do. We'll go the other way and you spell kids with C's, like where the Crips or something. There's a new movie produced by Steph Curry called Goat. A kid's movie, are you aware of this, Blake? I think my kid has seen a little bit of it. It's pretty good. Is it? By who?

Steph Curry. All right. He was all done making three pointers and kicking poor people out of their homes. And it's an animated film about basketball. But it's also kind of an advertisement for Under Armour and whatever else he's involved in. So there's that one. watched a movie called Wish, which brought up this question.

This is a 2023 animated film then. It's a Pixar movie and it's dog shit. It has like a 5.2 rating on IMDB, like 50% on Rotten Tomatoes, which begs the question why? Why do they make, it doesn't seem odd to you that they have misses? Like it's clear when you watch the movie,

they didn't put as much into it. The songs suck. The animation is not as good. and it's not old. It just seems that there are some Pixar movies they make and say this one's kind of a B-side. Don't remember a huge promotional push behind it? This is the first time hearing of it. It's only two and a half, three years old.

That's what Shrek was supposed to be. Really? And people just got on board? I'm going to butcher some of this, but they just, all the Pixar employees on the back end of their contract or didn't have projects, they just kind of threw them all in the room and they made Shrek. didn't do any sort of promotion and it took off. Well, speaking of that, I was recently on the Wikipedia page for the Star Wars franchise

because that is now where we are with Nora. Oh, no. She wants to see it? She saw the first two, episodes four and five this weekend. Four and five. So in chronological order of how they were released? Correct. So Star Wars, Star Wars, and Empire?

Star Wars and, yeah, Empire, correct. Which was my favorite one upon the rewatch. I just saw those movies for the first time in 2015. I went back and found my notes. What drove her to see this? Because it wouldn't be you. No. What drove her to see this is that there's a lot of marketing surrounding some new show

that has, I think, Baby Yoda. Yeah, Grogu. Is that the same or different? I don't know. So you have to go back eight movies in order to understand this? Well, she was like, what's the story with this? and it's like, you know, you might as well. So you're, okay, that is an interesting decision

because I was always, I always wondered, do you start with episode one, which was actually made fourth? Right. And then get to. And that's what I did. No, you went. You went to episode four,

which was made first. Yes, okay, sorry. So you're starting in the beginning of. When it was released, the story. Of the universe. But if she's that into it, she'll go back. Yeah. She'll figure it out. Was she impressed with...

She was very impressed. The first one? She was very impressed. Because I recall showing it to my daughters... More the second one than the first one. Okay. I was pretty excited to show it to my daughters because it was a big thing when I was a little kid. And they weren't...

I guess I could see why it was when you're a kid. People are... Some people might not love hearing this, but she was asking me about like, all right, so... You know, she had understood like the whole... Darth Vader Luke dynamic she's like

he wanted him to be bad blah blah blah and she's asking me questions about it how many these movies are there I said

there's a million and they're gonna keep making them until you and I are both dead I was like they're gonna be around your whole life

and then your kids will probably have them too and she just kind of is like asking me how it fits into society kind of

and I was like listen here's a deal this is the Bible that's what it is it's the Bible just think of it that way this is a story

that people organize morality around Like when you watch this movie and you're confused... It's a very, in fact, religious-based story. And so that's why I was like, when you watch this, just think this is how people think of the Bible. There's stories and lessons here. Good versus evil.

They're going to keep making it good and evil. You'll read, you know, same thing. But I don't know. Now I'm back. I didn't watch Star Wars in forever. Now you're a Star Wars guy. Yeah, because I'm quitting baseball. Wait, what?

Oh. And the one. You want to get to sports? Sure. All right. From the wonderful world of sports, Radio Sports, Scoreboard.

Oh, yeah, I like that. Actually had to go to a neighborhood event Friday night. I will tell you about that later in the week. You know I don't want to go to a neighborhood event. I know you don't want to go on a Friday night either. But what would I wear? My poncho. Nice.

Because you can wear that anywhere. So I got to wear that during the, kind of during the day. and then it could still, didn't have to get dressed up more to wear it to my neighborhood event. And you can get your poncho shirt at poncho outdoors.com. You have to put two O's there in the middle. Actually, a lot of people don't know, five O's total in that word, poncho outdoors. And then another o in.com.

Panchooutdoors.com slash dumzone. And you get $10 off your first order. This is the shirt, and I was talking about, telling people there because you got to have stuff to talk about. Oh, yeah. I'm like, there's SPF in this shirt. Try me. And you're like, no way.

I go, yeah, let's go lay in the tanning bed right now. I got a bag of fine glass. Yeah, yeah. You'll get tanner than me. SPF in the shirt, you could wear it to a nice neighborhood event. You could wear it out fishing. You could wear it broadcasting a Cowboys game with Steve Verline on a field, standing there taking pictures with other famous people.

It also hides sweat. Oh, yeah, that's for you. That's why I wear it. You're worried about that more. When you go jack it off, there's no sweat stains on the armpits. You look good still. So you can go jack it off with poncho shirts. Yeah, not sweat.

Yeah, that's great. Or it gets sunburned. Panchooutdoors.com slash dumbzone. Wait, did I already play the sports open? Yeah, I think so. Good again. Who cares. Jalen Brunson is in the NBA finals

and I didn't you certainly don't have the same feeling about Jailen Brunson and I was trying to determine that this morning like why am I not feeling this I guess because when we lost Brunson like we justified it with you know what though we still have

like this is the thing you don't want to lose Yeah. Like we've got, you could probably find another Jalen Brunson, maybe. Maybe not. But you know what? We got this and we'd never get rid of this. So I'm not that upset about it. I don't know if you remember at the time, but people close to the team, rightly or wrongly,

they had convinced themselves that the reason they wanted to move on from Jalen Brunson was because of Luca. It was like, they can't. That can't work. You can't have a little guy next to a guy who doesn't play defense. So it wasn't just we still have Luca. It was like we're moving on from Brunson because he won't work next to Luca. That made it way easier to stomach. Now, in hindsight, they might have overreacted to Nick Batum playing Brunson off the floor in one playoff series.

The famed Haralabob, Carlyle, Christopps Porzingis series where the stats on that look insane now. knowing what we know about what Jalen Brunson just did over the last year or whatever. He played like 10 minutes in game six of that series when they got eliminated. Not a fact, not involved. And now he's... Of course, he was young. What was that, his second year? Yeah, he was a league maybe.

But still, he was a factor and he ended up getting played to the bench. Now that's impossible, obviously, to imagine happening. How much growth is it like the Steve Nash thing? If he never leaves, does he flourish quite the same? who knows At the end of the day, it's not a good look to have both of them gone for nothing. Right, it's one of those things you see the

I don't know, I think I saw it on Twitter or something. It was like most historians will not believe this picture. It's tough. Because it was a picture of, you know, rookie Luca and rookie Jalen Brunson wearing Mab's jerseys standing together. It's the new Durant Hardin and Westbrook on the Thunder. Yeah, maybe.

But maybe these guys will both go on to win titles too. I mean, I hope they do. I want them to. I would love to see Jalen Brunson win a title. That'd be cool. Although that does then you get James Dolan wins a title. Does that bother you at all? Yeah, it does.

It does quite a bit. Listen, I went 20 years not hating the Spurs as much as everyone else and kind of hiding it because I didn't want Bob to be mad at me. And all my friends, really, they just hated the Spurs way more than I did. I was hated the Rockets. but the Spurs is not as much. And, you know, maybe you're annoyed by Wimby. Maybe you're annoyed by the whole thing.

But you want to talk about least objectionable fare. Oh, yeah, I'm a huge Spurs fan right now. Spurs over everything. Dude, are you kidding me? This is not a hard decision for me. You don't want, okay. Oklahoma City, New York, any of these. Yeah, that's good.

Oh, you don't want New York to win? Not over San Antonio, no. Not to me. Stolen is a legitimate, like, contender for... Had a file? Well, I don't know about that, but maybe. Why, let's just throw a blanket statement out there. He's a bad guy.

One of the worst owners in all of sports. Who owns San Antonio? Anybody even know? Yeah, and they've... I've never heard of the San Antonio owner. Yeah, it's, uh, not... R.C. Buford was the name of the GM. What's the guy's name?

Chip, Tex. No, it's a funny name. And he's real cowboy. but kind of like fake not fake Peter Holt That's new then No

Anyway Yeah Yeah I do certainly Root for Wemby over Oklahoma City I would love to see Oklahoma City Only come out of this with one title Wouldn't that be cool in the long run

If they only end up winning one title After all the draft picks And all the everything and still worth it. It would. You do look at them and worry that they're going to be in the mix for 10 years now. It just feels, yeah. And that's the thing.

I would have set the bar like three. If they get three in 10 years of you, like, all right, we held that off. Man, because I was at the beach this weekend. I had my supersonics tank top on the douchebag. Sorry. And some guy goes, supersonic. We bought them. I was like, yeah

Just kick his ass No, no Oklahoma You never know what's going on upstairs there Seriously, dude I'm not That's true That's my first sports story

And then the next one would be That the Rangers got no hit Yeah Is it better if it's no hit by committee Doesn't really seem like you got no hit No Okay Uh-uh

They didn't get a hit yesterday Oh yeah you guys are there We were there. We left in the eighth. Okay. We were thinking of leaving, I think, in like the six. They might not be that good. That was after they got no hit through the first, like, seven innings against the Astros last week.

And the whole weekend has been bad. Outside of a blip in Colorado, it's been brutal. Brutal, brutal, brutal. But is your girl or wife ever said it's not what you said, it's how you said it? Of course. They just look pitiful. They don't even look like they're having fun when they lose. They're not fun to cheer for.

They're not fun to watch. They suck. Yeah. Well, I mean... You want to read off who's playing infield right now? Well, let's just go through who... I mean, they say that like Langford is maybe about to be back. It's probably going to be too late.

I think probably you underrate him a little bit, Dan, just from... If you check out of the Rangers for the last couple years, really, it's probably hard. Like, he's legitimately put up. numbers. He might be the best player they've drafted, like position player in 20 years. Yeah, you had a top three pick, though. No, no, no. I'm just saying he's legit.

And as soon as he was starting to kind of get going, he gets hurt. And they just don't have the rest of it. Yeah, now it's like you're leading off with Andrew McCutcheon and pinch hitting for him with Jock Peterson. I think that was my biggest problem over the weekend is Langford is hurt, Seeger's hurt.

And he's not close. But how do you not have anyone excited? to come up and just play for three weeks. How? Like Foske's fun, we've heard about him for a while, but the other names are throwing out there, it just brings zero excitement. And that's a CY thing.

Why are we trading our top prospects for McKenzie Gore when we had a decent pitching staff? Liam Hicks is hitting awesome for the Marlins. You're just reading about former Rangers that you had in the pipeline who can mash who aren't effing here anymore. They went all in. on pitching.

Y'all want to come down and see a Round Rock Express game, the Dell Diamond right about now? I mean, we've got that. We've got Frisco. They threw Kumar Rocker started yesterday, Dan, and I was there by the channel. Of course, you remember me telling you in his previous start, they had him skip the first inning,

and then he pitched the second through most of the ninth. Throughout 26. Yeah. Yesterday they started him, and it was. maybe a 23, 24 pitch first inning with a runner. Dude, why wouldn't they try the bit? I don't know.

It's on me for not looking up while because I'm sure somebody asked them about it. But it was, and then the second inning might have been six. Yeah. Seven. Work through it. So they're hitting sucks, right? Oh, my God, dude. Horrible.

They don't see. I would like to hit ninth and just see. Do you think that they should add another hitting coach? They have three hitting coaches. Oh, really? Yeah, they have a guy for ball. a guy for strikes, a guy for foul. They have a lead hitting coach, they have a hitting coach,

and then they have an assistant hitting coach. Like, what are they doing? A few years ago, they had an offensive coordinator. Do you remember that? Yeah, sometimes do that. Like, your guy telling him, like, the run signals. Well, I think one of his jobs was, like, time spent hitting. Like, they thought if you spent more time hitting than pitching,

you had an advantage so that he was trying to make longer at bats, I guess. They don't see a lot of pitches. No longer at Batch, that's something you want for sure. That's more pitches, right? It's tough right now. You're making the pitch more, yeah. Corey Seeger swinging at every first pitch. Yeah, Corey Seeger might be a bad bit.

Just when things aren't going well, like when things are going well, it's okay to have a robot asshole at the lead of your team. But when things aren't going well, then all of a sudden it's like, this wears thin. All right, I want to do a couple of things for you guys here. Speaking of wearing thin, Johnny Mansell was in action over the weekend. He fought. He fought.

He fought. He fought. I had to do some digging to make sure this wasn't AI. Yeah, no, we were talking this weekend, and Blake's like, I think that's, I think you got ball sack, dude. He fought on the streaming platform kick. Hey. in a boxing promotion called Brand Risk, which is, I guess, promoted, owned, run,

affiliated with the streamer Aidan Ross. There's a picture of a woman. Boy, he's a little doughy. He's doughy, but he's not in bad shape. That's not a great look with those tight shorts on. Oh, that's a guy's head beyond the other component. I did kind of look like a... After our conversation this weekend, Jake, you're spot out.

He just fights like every East Texas cousin. He does. He does. No. When you see him come out. Hey, whoa, no. Hey, whoa, no. He's got crazy.

And he got on top of him and just started palming his head. Oh, so this is MMA? Yeah. I guess. Okay, it's not by? Like, no, yeah. Could you see this leading to Mansell versus Jake Paul? No.

No. No. And I'm going to go through that for you here because this is a fight. that was put on by this guy, Aidan Ross. He's, again, a streamer. There were fights such as Lance Stevenson versus Michael Beasley, former NBA players. Are Lance Stevenson? Yeah.

Oh. Briefly. Blue and LeBron's ear. Yeah, we won a title with him. No, that's Deshaun. You're thinking of Deshaunce. Deshaun Stevenson. No, Lance Stevenson is the Pacer.

He was on a team with, like, Roy Hibbert. Deshawn wore the shirt that says, how does my dirt taste? Yeah. With the Abraham Lincoln tattoo on his neck. They're remarkably similar characters, but Lance Stevenson was at one point, like, somebody almost gave him like a max. And he's fighting Michael Beasley, Kansas State, weed, heat. Ray J. was fighting some guy that I'd never heard of. Ray J. from Kim Kardashian fame?

Yeah. And that comes up a lot. And there's just a bunch of... Does his wiener size come up on the broadcast or no? because that's the first thing I walked away from that with. No. All right. But so Johnny fights this guy named Bob Minnery.

Minery. Minery. Minery. Wait, he didn't beat up his ex-girlfriend again? Oh. Nothing like that. Manzel. Did he actually ever beat up a girl?

Oh, yeah. It's probably Brie-Tessie. Oh, yeah. That was back in the... Way back. And that story just got kind of buried. I forgot about that. He beat her up very bad.

Like, she couldn't hear out of it. It was in Dallas, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Bob Menary, internet personality. Yeah, he does the voiceovers. I'd never heard of this guy before. Oh, he's funny.

He does like a blue Johnboy. Internet personality comedian podcast host Best Network for his signature deep sportscaster voice and comedic play-by-play parodies. I watched a bunch of his videos and they're just, they're for somebody who's not me. Because I didn't get it at all. Lighten up. I just didn't get it. It was like, I don't understand the funny.

part here. He was doing impressions and I was like okay so I remember when it just seems like Gordon dancing this dude. If it's not Shane Gillis it's not funny. No I just didn't think the guy was funny. He'd be out of the boat what I find you gotta love this stuff. It reminds me of my New Year's resolutions right

it's like the day after New Year's and I'm like I know drinking no drugs no porn and it's like six hours in and everything is going great and then all of a sudden here comes my fucking body cocaine.

And he just comes in and fucks my life up and all my resolution. He was commentating on the freeze. That is, part of his humor is he's just the normal play-by-play guy. Then he, like, I don't know. Okay.

Okay, now that I'm reflecting, maybe it's not funny. Well, here's the other thing. I listened to this guy speak for a long time. I listened to an hour and a half press conference for this fight. Because they had ten different fights so they had 20 guys up there and they were all insane all of them just it's all these internet people and then johnny and i swear to

god dude was daddy there he's embarrassed to be up there like johnny is just should be just kind of for the most part hand over his mouth like what the fuck like he like he's with latarian no yes and he's now reduced to that he was once on he was on letterman he was uh on top of the world. At the same time, this Bob Minnery guy is affiliated with like Dana White and I don't know like the Nelk boys or something somehow, these podcasters and streamers that have tens of millions of dollars of brand deals. He somehow got Johnny the money to fight in this fight put up. They're fighting at Apex, which is like Dana White's place in Vegas. So they're fighting at a real place.

But so Johnny is fighting this guy, Bob Mennery. It says here he was, had a role with like maybe a non-speaking part in billions in Roadhouse. Like this guy's Roadhouse. Done a couple things. The new Roadhouse, probably. Aw. This is not the Swayze film.

So it starts out with them trying to be cool. This Bob guy, I'm just telling you to me, sounds like a subhuman. He just sounds like a dummy, like a Jersey Shore. absolute idiot Philly, just like, oh, beat your ass type guy. Every, and somehow Johnny's above it. It starts out fairly cordial. Johnny is a

one of a great, great dude. He's a tough. Heisman trophy winner, by the way. By the way, they try to edit this sort of live. It's not even close. They may get a couple of them by fading out. What channel are then? They're on kick and on YouTube. A great,

great dude. YouTube done like profanly. He's a tough. He's a trophy winner, by the way. like you can't take that away from him I mean that's insane So pause it Round of applause You're right by one guy But basically though he's saying

Look we realize this is shit But you can't take that husband away He's trying to kind of In his intro He's saying look Johnny And this guy's the underdog He was a three to one dog They're somewhat friendly

But also you can tell Johnny is very annoyed by him Like God I can't believe I'm even having to mess with this But also listen to Aiden here You're telling me there were fight odds Yeah Oh yeah This whole thing was sponsored by, they had a funny moment where one guy up there was like,

I don't know, just put that shit on Polly Market. And Aiden Ross was like, betm45.com actually, or whatever it is, you know? Like the whole thing's sponsored by a casino. And here's Aiden with some terminology I think we could use. Like, you can't take that away from him? I mean, that's insane. Fats.

Stubbs in the chat for Johnny Mansell. Thanks, Bobby. Dubs in the chat for Johnny Manzell. Now here's Ray J, Ray J, who is drunk is pissed, by the way. He's an alcoholic. They're making fun of him the whole time. Like, you drunk up there?

I almost had a husband. I almost had when I came close. At the end of the day, I said, Johnny, I said, Johnny, if I get you to X. Okay, so he gets him the money to fight. They're going to try to keep it cordial. But Johnny can only take so much. Yeah, no.

Me and you were cool, Bob. We'll go out there tomorrow. There's no way there's not going to be some bad blood whenever you step in the ring. It's just impossible. See, there you go. Now you just cross the line. That's not gentleman like.

I don't want to say anything now. Aiden said this up. You want to do this up with Dan and Hunter. Johnny was cool for about 30 seconds, but then he has a, listen to him, just flipping. It's just impossible. See, there you go. Now you just cross the line. That's not gentleman like.

Suck my dick. What the fuck? I don't want to say anything now. Aiden said this. If you want to do this up, if you want to do this up with Dana and Hunger, you did not set this up. I mean, Johnny, if you want to do this right now, I bet three to one under dog. I swear my mother's living. Put your money on it with me then.

Bet me straight up. What do you want to bet? I bet you 20K right now. Fuck that. That's what I thought. All right. All right. Let's see.

Aidan. You're a pussy. Just back in his element. Jesus. Just back in his element up there. He tries to stay out of it. And then somebody starts talking to him. And he's like, you know what?

Suck my dick. And then they had this, um, this really unstable thing going on where they were going to the crowd for questions. But everyone in the crowd, uh, crowd was clearly a plant. Like another streamer or like a guy showed up dressed as Kanye. Like he was fake Kanye and they're like, there's Kanye. The whole thing was very... That sounds corny.

Corny. Very like, um... I don't know. Do you know how like Larry Flinty? It just feels kind of like dirty and side showy and... I don't know. A freak show. It felt very freak showish.

I find it weird. I didn't hear any. Anything about this pre? I saw it over the last week. How did I not hear about some Johnny Mansell stuff? It's very online. And then hard to find probably at the time. Definitely the most popular thing on YouTube that night.

Oh, it was? Yeah. When was this? Saturday? Yeah. Because was it last night? I didn't watch it live. I was looking for the enhanced games.

Yeah. Anybody else into that? Do you know what that is? Peter Thiel's steroid games. Yeah, yeah. Oh. You're totally allowed to. Just anything goes.

Yeah. Do steroids and... Yeah. And so they were kind of keeping an eye on how many world records are we going to break. It could be nuts. And then there was a lot of high stepping and by non-steroid, big non-steroid this morning with no world records were set and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. and my thought was, well, it's because the people who would do this are so below possible world record setting. You know, if you're on the cusp of world record setting and then you did steroids, you're going to set a world record.

Right. But if you're me and then you do world record, you know, you're not going, like I could not get the home run record by doing steroids. Barry Bonds, who at the time was awesome at baseball anyway, and could probably hit 40 without, you know? Yeah, I don't know that Peter Thiel or whoever understood this properly. There's just not that much... Like the people who would... They tied like the 1968 World Records.

Oh, no. It wasn't even close. So this fight with Johnny Mansell and Bob Menary, they go to the crowd for questions. And again, everybody there is doing their own bit. So this is a female that asked Johnny a question. But I want you to know since there's no visual. When he starts yelling back at somebody, he's not yelling at the lady.

And you need to know that because he's pretty violent. Johnny, are you doing this fight because college highly still paid the bills? You know, I'm here because Bob asked me to be and because it pays nice, both things. But now that's what? Because what still pays the bills? Because it pays nice. And Bob asked. No, what does she say?

Because college... Johnny, are you doing this fight because college highlights still paid the bills? College highlights or something? College highlights, college hasn't. Like, you're only famous in college type thing. Now, he answers her question, but while he's doing it, another little guy who looks exactly like you think. You want to bounce his head off the ground.

He's got the haircut every kid has. He has the chain every kid has. And he's just mouthing off to Johnny Manzo. It looks like he weighs a buck 15. And, yeah. You know, I'm here. because Bob asked me to be and because it pays nice, both things. But it's a good question.

I can see you outside. We can step outside right after. I'll beat the fuck out of you for sure. Come on. I'll join two, you fat fuck. You're such a bitch. Hey, that's a bad word. Who told you about that fucking fucking.

Hold on. Don't use that word. That's the F word. I got a lot of gay. Ray J is here, who many might say he swings us different ways himself. Very funny. Ray J just drunk uncle. in the background the whole time.

I don't say that. That's a slur. That's a bad word. I told you about that. Hold on. Don't use that word. That's the F word. I got a lot of gay friends.

I got a lot of gay friends. Yo, Johnny, I got a serious question. No matter. I have everybody by Paul. Joe, Johnny, how are you going to wear the mouthpiece tomorrow for the fight when you got Drake's all the way down your throat? Oh, how about that? That's not.

That's not true. That's not true. Is that Ray J? I'm a shit. I come down your throat right down. This is what Johnny was doing Saturday night. He just kind of sits. This goes on for much longer.

Right now, you little bitch. Nicker, don't ever talk about Johnny Mansell like that. All of a sudden, Ray J. extremely invested in Johnny's well-being. Johnny just kind of sitting there like, I guess, yeah. God, we need that drop. Ray J's ride or die with Mansell. You'll ever talk about Johnny Mansell.

You can't take that away from him. You beat Bama. Just an insane. series of events and then yeah they fought and johnny johnny destroyed him i mean the guy's not athletic looking he's not big but he's also not so he's just a guy with a lot of followers and stuff yeah and he kind of looks bro he's a 37 38 year old guy kind of looks like he works out but you can tell man johnny still has like a twitch level that when he flips it on he killed the guy laughed about it afterward it's very funny man now i feel bad for johnny minzel

that he's reduced to this. Dude, look at what he was. Born in the wrong time, man. What was his fake name in Vegas? The fake name he used back in the day? Oh, when he was on the Browns, but he went to Vegas for a quick weekend. How do I not remember this?

You had the T-shirt, Jay? I had the T-shirt. You had the best T-shirt. He had the blonde wig. Yeah, no, he was born in the wrong era. It wasn't Ron Mexico. No, Ron Mexico was when Mike Vic needed herpes. treatment. He would check into the clinic

with that name. You're saying wrong before the U.I.R. NIL? Billy Vegas? Billy Vegas. Billy Vegas. Yes. Before NIL, yeah. Okay, yeah, I wanted to go back to when was the right time for Johnny Mansell to be born? I just mean now

he would be, you know. He'd be making money, but he'd still be coked out of his mind and drunk or whatever he was. He would have cashed in way more at the time. But sure. That Netflix documentary on him is really fascinating. I got to say it was good. It's great. It's great. A little bit of a puff piece. But he's, look, it was fun to watch him back in action. It'll be great watching him on the tour. Definitely. He's playing flintzel.

All right, Brian Custer was the MC. Do you remember Brian Custer? I do. Built this house in 1776? No. That's a stop down, a stepbrother's line? I don't even know what you just said This house was built in whatever by General Custer I have stepbrother vibes here Okay I feel like I'm a A connoisseur of that movie And I don't recognize that line

I feel like that's a pretty heavily quoted line For that movie Really? I don't Anytime you walk into a house Built in 1700 by General Custer How does the room feel about that Do you let me turn my mic off I know I am

I am loving this man But I do recall Brian Custer, yes. And I can't wait for Monday's intro to the show. You're going to have to prove that that's actually in the movie. Like a movie with... Tons of quotable lines. Yeah. And you are an insider.

A few basic rules about the house. If there's any foods that you like, I suggest you put your name on them, or they will be thrown out by me. House was built 1825 by General Custer. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. We're less than two weeks away. In fact, oh, wait. I'd have to find it.

I have a countdown clock. For the DZGSE, Saturday, June 6th, Four Corners Brewing Company or Brewery? What are we saying? The former. 6 p.m. Community Mechanical, our title sponsor. because that's our AC company.

And this will be air-conditioned, folks. That's right, four corners. Has a nice air-conditioned, big, giant room. And that's where we shall be. We'll have frivolity, says here. We'll have bands, profits and outlaws, and Quaker City Nighthawks. Speaking of that, I'd like to promote a couple of things coming up this week.

We will have the return of the Roast Twins. Okay. Because they were listening to some Quaker City Nighthawks over the weekend. Fantastic. And they have some thoughts. So maybe if you want to not put it in your Palm Pilot just yet, you want to see what the Roast Twins think about Quaker City before you go to watch them perform on our program.

I'm sure they'll love it. Also, tomorrow is generally business Wednesday, but Sean Kernan this week of 360 wealth management sponsored Business Monday. Memorial. Like Blake said. You could have got your 20% off at quite a variety of places. Oh, yeah. Sure. Eddie Bauer.

Others. So tomorrow we're doing a program, and maybe we have Mark Cuban on the show. Yeah. Maybe. We're not sure. But as of now, we have Mark Cuban booked on the program tomorrow. So let's see. Let's just see how that works out.

Okay. Yeah. But at the end here, DZGSE, one week from this Saturday. Email the dumb zone at gmail.com for your America's next top angelo submission. Oh, that's right. What do you guys think of America's next? What's the quick bit? Impress Blake.

Yeah, you've got 60 seconds to impress Blake to win $100 of Blake's money monthly for the next year. So 1,200 smack arouskis. I think it's what the nation needs. And then what the fun thing is, then you get to text Blake halfway through the month. I mean, I need more. Right. I'm at McDonald's. I lost my corn. Yeah.

It's raining. I did like in our meeting over the weekend where Dan very truthfully said, Blake, how do you feel about this? I'm like, yeah, I don't know. And I was like, some of the emails that have come in, like there's this guy, there's this guy, this guy can juggle a golf ball. This guy's an auctioneer, and Jake's like, okay, say no more. Yeah, that's great.

We've got an auctioneer. We're doing this. You've read the shitty emails that have come in. I've read emails and have already tipped my hand of like all of this is going to suck. I don't want to do this. Hey. Dude, he can talk really fast. The Sterminator once said to me, you got to water the garden.

All right? Don't grow unless you water the card. Well, Dan said, what if a woman gets up and pops a jug out? And I texted Chloe. If I can get, I'll come up for the GSC. I'm trying to convince her to go. This may just turn into that. And that's fine because we support women.

Of course. You know. Women's lib. I don't know if that get you in trouble at home, Blake. No. He didn't force it. I think the guy who wanted to just do 60 seconds of comedy, that fell flat in my head.

because it's like, well, I don't know. It's not an open mic. It's not kill Tony. That's the thing, is it once you open it to that, I was more imagine like, the gayselers. The fact guy doing the splits was be, was hilarious to me.

I was like, okay, I don't know. We get six of those. I don't want a guy do the splits. It's like, look, he's all big. But what if the people want a guy doing the splits? Well, it's playing Blake's money. It comes back to my money. I'm paying the guy because he can do the splits.

All right. Like the gung show. It'll be fun. Thank you. Everyone is telling me. the idea will be fun. You're going to love it. What if it was $50 a month?

Would that make it good? Feel better? Yeah, maybe. So, you know what I do when I come in on a normal Monday? This week, it's a Tuesday, but it's softball, wall-to-wall for me this time of year. The Super Regionales. I did watch a little bit.

I watch it when it gets to the College World Series when it's on, but I like to keep up with the drama. And as you guys have noted, women's sports, especially in college, a lot of shit. They're mean. They really are. And they're coordinated about it. And now we have introduced to the, is it offensive for me to say to a woman if I say like,

I just imagine there's a little more cattyness in women's locker rooms and men's? Because there is in men's, but it's got to be more in women's. It just has to be. Just based anecdotally on your viewing life. Right. And so in this case, you have that. But now we have NIL. So I'm going to take you to the case of Jason Williams, white chocolate, the Sacramento Kings point guard,

the Florida Gator point guard, one of my favorite basketball players growing up. We've had them on the show a couple times. Untold number of turnovers committed by me, Dan, attempting to go behind the back off the elbow, which he once did in the rookie sophomore game. But the quintessential Florida man. Florida Hooper, you know, he looks like a meth head.

He's got an accent that you can't quite place. He's just a lot. And he's got a daughter. And his daughter is one of the top softball players in the country. And she, Mia, went to Florida the last two years, where he went. But this year she transferred like every other good player in the country to Texas Tech. Oh, why there? That's hilarious, man.

Just love of the game. Dude, it is, it's crazy when you see the list. So she goes there. How much was Nebraska cheating back in the day? Because same thing, right? Like, how is Nebraska any good? No, players just go to Nebraska. No, they don't.

You're not just choosing Lubbock. Right. You're choosing it if they have a big giant pile of money. So that means Nebraska was paying everybody under the table. Yeah, for sure. Sure. And this is like as on the up and up as it can get now, but it doesn't make anybody like it anymore. Now, the other thing we've talked about this story before that people in the softball community complain about is that they go and the girls, the women, they play on these other teams, right, besides the school teams.

And they're like using those to poach people. And sometimes even while they're still with another team, they've had reports of like, we know that they, before we even ended the season that they'd already like. So there's that. Same with high school basketball. Yeah. It's on steroids. Yeah. So she is a badass and she goes to tech and they had a three game set this weekend.

And in those three games, she was plonked five times. Jesus. Now she's a. As you told me about this. She rakes. Also like the first at bat. Like right away. Right away.

Sending a message. Just no, no bones about it. she walked off the first game with a two-run bomb, and then they got beat up pretty bad on Saturday. And then in the rubber match, she had a two-run, go-ahead, home run after getting hit twice in that game. Jason Williams, I believe, was thrown out of the first game. Oh, cool.

And was let back in for the second game. There was an older woman who had thrown something at his other daughter. That fan was ejected and not allowed back in. after the Red Raiders won the series, the Florida Gators team didn't come out for a handshake line. Once Mia Williams hit that go-ahead shot, and it was a fairly close game at that point, they ran away with it, beat them up bad.

And then they didn't come out, and then you have the tech team out there. If you do guns up from far enough away, it really does look like Double Bird. And so they're all out there. And the Florida fans are going nuts, yelling back at them. It's great. Just a great, great college sporting event.

There's a lot of fun all the way around. I watched the wings at Liberty, wall to wall. Did you really? Watch an entire WNBA game? Yeah, then I went back and watched the previous two that I had recorded. I'm in. Okay. I don't know what this is, but...

I'm in. I want to start watching it. I would think it's good. I think if you're coming from the NBA and you're going to watch the WNBA, the wings are actually a good team to start with because they have Paige who can get a bucket whenever.

She's awesome. And they also... It's an NBA style player. And that she can just score. And the way that they play is very NBA-like. They're second in an offensive efficiency and they just drive and kick and shoot threes. It's the exact same product you're watching in the NBA.

So, yeah. Stylistically. Where do you see one of these games? Well, Saturday's game was on NBC. So they had Noah Eagle, the vampire, do that game. Okay, he's not lying. No, and then Friday Night's game was on Ion. I can't tell you what channel.

I just know it's Ion TV. Next to kick? Sure. But no, they're cool. On Tubi. Azee Ayan and Italion. What is a Limei Aeon? Azee arrived on Saturday.

I think she had like an 18.3 third quarter. She had 5-3, 4-3s in a row. It was awesome. Arike's awesome, but she's probably going to be gone. You know, there's only one ball. Right. They got to trade her for another number one pick in next week's draft. Sure.

I should have pulled this audio. I probably will for tomorrow. They have a player whose last name, I think is K-U-I-E-R, and I swear do you know what Eagle had to say queer. Okay. All game. And he was really emphasizing the, c queer with the bucket

it's queer you know Chloe double team in the corner they're smearing yeah Chloe identifies as queer is it okay for someone

to be named queer yeah that's their name yeah sure you can't see there you go yeah it's her name it's just tricky right I have something to follow up on in closing remarks

yeah sure happily you seriously writing now it's tricky obviously just given the stereotypes right like that's why it was tough when there was that you know if there's an NFL player named like james beats the shit out of his wifeington like it becomes hard i don't know it's just it's a little too on the nose german the yeah it is the polish liberty had a big off of the bench

she's the asian bobon her name's like zan jew or something she had a couple threes i mean she looks like bobon but she's so very asian it's awesome okay you need to look her up Yeah, I'm having a good time with the W. Texas Tech speaking of, they have a, they have a woman that is giant on their basketball team. Giant. 7-1. Stephanie Okka-Kekwu. It's not the big girl from Iowa State.

No, but this girl is, she's so big. She's so big. And no, to one of my friends who sent us this story, she's not going to go by Greg Hodden. That's a terrible. Oh, come on. That's awful. That's good. This somehow made it on to TV.

This is from Texas, Arizona State. This is another softball game, okay? There's no visual here that would explain this. This is just a regular at bat. I saw this on social media. And like Blake, I'm like, this has got to be fake. So I did the legwork. I went and found this.

Swear to God, on ESPN's website, this is still there. Hot Mike? It was in Seattle when they started this crazy run in 2022 to the regionals in Washington. Texted him that this week with some words of love for Mike White. He responded. Normal. We have a wonderful relationship, those two. And she said when you come to Austin, they tell you, you're going to compete for national championships as an assistant.

They're going to send you off. That's exactly what happened. It's almost so well-timed like a candor's where I stick my tongue down your throat. The mic is in the still o' and two. Dug-out or something? No, you set up these crowd mics around the pavilion. They're easy to spot.

That's what I was... My buddies were asking me about this morning, and I'm like, I'll ask Blake, but I swear, when they go out to a reporter wherever, they have stuff set up sometimes. And I bet if you're looking... Well, those are the camera mics, but yeah. But along the pavilion, to get good crowd...

The Nats sound? Yeah. I mean, I can't tell you how many high school... kids have walked past a mic at my game and done the exact same thing. Was the guy wearing an IFB? How did he time, he almost perfectly timed up? We have a wonderful relationship, those two.

And she said when you come to Austin, they tell you, Nick my boss, they tell you. They do tell you that. As soon as you enter Travis County. Yeah, someone who lives in Austin. Yep, that's exactly right. That's great. I love he's all raspy.

I have more softball for you in the news. But right now I'm going to give you a little bit of preview of something I did on my road trip down and back to the beach this weekend. That's getting to know Caleb Downs. Oh. Our new Dallas Cowboy first round pick. He's got a podcast, folks. Now, will you give him a pass if he's got the built-in? His brother is an NFL player.

They do a brother podcast. Hey, it's like the Kelsey's. The Kelsey's. There's a million. The St. Browns. The St. Browns do one. Do they really? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. That one's very popular. I think there have to be others. So do you get any kind of pass for that? I think it's lame. Well. Oh, cool. You got a brother?

Do a podcast. He did ask him. Dan listened to a couple of them too. I listened to too many of them because I feel like this guy's going to be round. I want to fall in love with him. I want to get to know how he is. His brother, who's been in the league a couple years now, is way, way more chill. But Caleb, I think, is the one who has, like, a more commanding presence. He ends up doing most of the talking. But in this first one... How good is his brother? Is it Josh Downs, the Colts receiver?

Yeah. He's like a fourth round pick who's like, okay. He's not a fantasy guy, Dan. In 24, damn, he had 803 yards and 72 catch. last year 660. You know, he's a third guy. Okay. So he asked his brother, this is why they want to do it. What made you want to do this? And what are you excited to talk about on here?

For me, I would say just an opportunity for kids to watch at home. I feel like when I was in- That's Caleb. So, yeah, again, Josh Downs delivery is a lot more, hey, maybe we just stay here all day and rip this ball. What made you want to do? do this and what are you excited to talk about on here? For me, I would say just an opportunity for kids to watch at home.

I feel like when I was in high school watching like the pivot, watching like I am athlete, those are such cool shows because you got to watch people outside, off the field. And I feel like now you get to watch a college player, which is cool. And you get to watch a pro player. And that'll be able to touch many different types of media, many different types of kids. and I just hope that they learn something from it and take anything from it and implement into their daily lives. Okay, so I know that sounds corny, but when I asked myself the question,

like, why would you even do this? Why are you doing this? And now that I've listened to a couple of them, that is kind of what they actually do. They talk about what you do as an athlete. Like, okay, so we go to breakfast at this time, we go to lift at this time. The one they just did, Caleb Downs was complaining like a normal person about having to move out of his apartment in Columbus for 15 minutes.

and I'm thinking, oh, that's weird. I would think somebody kind of has that fully handled. You're breaking the lease. Yeah, his brothers, that came up. His brother's telling him about like, oh, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I do this, but on this day I go in. It's kind of interesting, but this dude has been so famous from the time he was like eighth grade as a football player that he's watched these.

There's a billion of these YouTube shows now, and ESPN and who at Victory Plus has them, where they just document what it's like. to be, you know, a big-time high school athlete now, these Elite 11 shows and stuff like that. So it's almost like it's just the next thing for a dude like this. He is a walking billboard. He's a walking face of the franchise. Which, speaking of those shows, did you see what's coming back this season? What? Fourth and Long.

Really? The show hosted by Michael Irvin. Is he going to host again? Yeah, he said he was. Wow. Is it for a cowboy training camp? The news is just coming down. I don't know if it's for a spot, but...

Wow. I'm interested. Absolutely. It's odd that it kind of went away, isn't it? Yeah, because it worked. Yeah. It kind of worked. That's what I mean.

And for all these reality shows, that... Yeah. So they got into his number. We talked about this. He was wearing 18 during rookie minicamp. I was defending it because I actually didn't hate it. But he's not a 13. and this this comes up.

What was his number in college? Two. Two. Great. Looks really, really cool. So who has two now? Is it Kobe Durant? I don't know. Oh, wait.

It's someone they signed. Yeah, right before. So it wasn't even somebody on the team last year. That's where the controversy is, I think. And this clip starts with, I just have like a Josh Downs drop page now because this is mostly his contribution to the show. Yeah, facts.

All right. Let's talk about that number, man. I mean, that really is it. It's just over and over and over. Facts. Facts. Facts. Nah, facts. Man, no cap. You'll mix that in that, too. No cap. Yeah, but most of his contribution. Yeah, facts.

All right. Let's talk about that number, man. 13. Odell Beckham, Jr. Is that why you picked the number or what? Okay. The funny thing is, the first person I really seen Rock 13 was, I mean, it was Odell, but like, defensive-wise, it was Malachi more. Shout out to Malachi. When he was at Bama in his freshman year. Jets.

Safety. Watching that. When I was like a freshman in high school, I was like, oh, that's tough. 13, that's smooth. And then. 13, not bad. 13, not bad. 18, though.

No, it's smooth. Like, I was, you can make, you can make 13 look, like, you can make a shaking 13. So I was like, yeah. I ain't really, I didn't really mess with 18. All right, we're going to keep going here. I think it's fascinating just to hear these guys talk about it. If you want to know what terminology. I will be using now until forever.

These dudes say make it shake, and I fucking love it. You will make it shake in 13. They'll be talking about some dude on another team. They're like, oh, in the slot, he'd make it shake. And I'm like, oh, God, I love that. So they're just debating 18. Now, keep in mind here, Josh Down plays for the Colts. That was not it.

I ain't going to lie. 18. I had our equipment, our equipment manager here was like, bro, tell your brother, do not wear number 18. He was like, I don't care what he does. He was like, wear 29, where what other? Because he asked me what numbers were your options. He was like, where 29?

Where any other? He's like, do not wear 18. He was just like, he was like, when I see 18, I think of like pay you man. And he was like, so like I can't even like, he's, I can't see a DB in that number. He was like, don't wear 18. I was like, I had a couple of my teammates say don't wear 18, though. It was. And I was like, dang, I'm like.

It was so controversial because there was definitely some people that was like, oh, that's a great number. I was like, no, it's not. I don't know. I'm not wearing. 13 way better. I'm a lie. I was like, I wear it from rookie care. Yeah, but.

Yeah, 13, cool with me. 13 smooth. I ain't going to lie. All right. I ain't going to lie. What did D-backs used to be? 20s. 20s.

Did you have to be in the 20s, 40s, 40s. You would typically go 20s corner, and then maybe your safeties a lot of times would be 40s and 30s. Some 20s, but. Does it establish the run guy kind of like old position groups having the same number? Yeah, dude.

Yeah. Last year, Dante Fowler and edge rusher were 13. I think it looks awesome. I think 41 on Azaraku. I love all of it. Well, 45s. Now, they haven't broken it for offensive linemen, and I still like that. You want a 74 quarterback?

No, I don't. No, but that breaks the offensive line rule. That's what I'm saying. They still have the... Oh, there's a rule for that still? Okay. Yeah, loosely, right? Because you have to have numbers for linemen

because they're the only ones who end up getting counted, so you end up running out of numbers, so you can't really take those if you're not alignment. Okay, so they get into Cowboys' history here, and I personally thought this was fascinating. So let's just go. This is from Draft Night. This is Josh Down's prediction for where his brother would go.

And again, remember, Caleb Downs started as a freshman at Alabama and then transferred to Ohio State when Nick Saban left. And then, you know, now he's a cowboy. I'm feeling America's team. He's his brother. He's from Mama to Ohio State to Dallas Cowboys. Three most famous team, man. About to do it.

Prediction secure. How many different takes that you had? Prediction secure. That's the first thing I like is just calling out your brother for like, you predicted like every team. But not. It's crazy, though. Because you go, because you go.

Bama, O State, Cowboys. I told Caleb he got the spotlight from heaven, and it's a real thing because who do you know that? I mean, there's probably other people that play for, you know, the most popular teams, but just in the matter of that is. I looked it up. There's not, right? I mean, obviously we're in a new era of being able to change college schools,

but it's just, it is a pretty big, a pretty big resume. How does that feel being on the Dallas Cowboys? I didn't know what you meant either when you sent that to me. Nah, because the Cowboys is OD. You ready for this term? OD? Yeah. What's OD?

Let's go with like overdoing it extra. Your daughters are definitely going to know this one. It's going to come up a lot. Overdose. But you wouldn't just say like, oh, man, the Cowboys are OD with it. That just means they're a team you hear a lot about. We're going to learn that. The Cowboys is OD like OD with it.

I'm just, they just. I didn't, I didn't know all that. I mean, I knew a bottom and everything, but when I got here, it was like most revenue of any professional team in the world. I'm like, oh, shoot. Yeah. Oh, in the world is crazy. I didn't know that.

Regular team, nah. Like 13 billion in the world. It ain't know. Bro, they play national TV every week. The Cowboys are on national TV. We play now. We have OD primetime games. Every week.

Let's do it. Every week, bro. That's, it's tough. I think we have, like, five or six pride-time games. I'm like, oh, for sure. Yeah. And I was with Carnel when we got the schedule. And Carnel was like, we play at noon every week.

He was Titans. Oh, the only time we play at noon because we play in Titans. Yeah, central time. So he definitely played that. Oh. It is funny to imagine, like, what these guys do when they get the schedule. And, you know, one of them plays an indie. And he's like, yeah, it's a little different.

Yeah. Dallas. Six. Yeah, they have six nighttime games. OD. O.D. O.D. prime time games, dude.

They actually have, I was surprised this year they do have three noon games. Because usually isn't that one a year? Oh, four. They have four noon games on the schedule. A lot of prime time, though, man. O.D. They'll make it shake. They'll make it shake 100%.

And then I thought they did a weird deal here. This maybe was a little bit of a hat tip to Blake, who's a big fan. of the Cowboys Radio Network. And they invited a guest in for this answer about his arrival in Dallas. Caleb, you were telling me you got to Dallas. How again? So I flew actually on Jerry Jones' plane, which was actually pretty cool. Wow.

Like, that's actually tough to fly on the owner's plane. And they picked us up on the Dallas Cowboy Bus. So, like, you can see the people, when they see it around the city, they're looking like. Who is that? Oh. Yeah. Yeah.

We were at the airport and there was people like outside. Like when I got off the bus, they was like, yeah. They were like, oh, that's it. So I feel like that was pretty cool. Yeah, that was definitely tough. Just a kid, you know? He's like, everyone's staring at me on the bus. It's also funny that day one, they're like,

we make the most money of any sports organization ever, right? Get on this bus. But here's the thing. As he would come to learn, by the way, I was personally shocked at how good that fake Brad Sham turned out on AI there. Okay, I didn't know what you were doing there. Brad Sham was there and asked a question. Well, you just know how like when we're listening to the sham radio call, he'll be in the middle of talking.

You just did a, Coach Schoenheimer, what did you have to say about that third and two-point call? You did a very meta-working. I'm doing my own. I'm doing your own show. Caleb, you were telling me you got to Dallas. How again? So I flew actually on Jerry Jones. That's good.

That's good. Yeah. That's good. Yes, as I just said. 37. Yeah. But this last one here is... He doesn't reset down in distance.

Go ahead. Yeah, come on. Don't be nuts. They do make the most amount of money, but... All the news about your football team ain't been good news. This is the part where we find out what does Caleb Downs know about the Cowboys' history and how long it's been and, you know, the drought. I didn't know. It was just a couple weeks ago I was talking to somebody.

He was talking about how long it had been since we've won here. I didn't know it had been that long. A home game? Again, his brother just baked, barely paying attention. What, one and what? Like a home game? Now, we're going to play a game called Does Caleb Downs know what the different components of the National Football League are. We have divisions.

We have conferences, right? We know that a lot of times these guys don't know their opponents. the division, arrivals, et cetera. We know what he's trying to say, which is that they have not been to the NFC championship game since the 95-96 season. That's the drought. But he's having a hard time saying it,

and his brother is not helping. I didn't know it had been that long. A home game? Like, not a home game. Just like at the top of the playoffs, I would say. Oh. Like one of our, not division. Dude, this is so meet the parents' prayer.

At the top of the division, where we say top of the playoffs, stay by day. Day by game. Just like at the top of the playoffs, I would say. Oh. Like won our, not division, but like, and it's the A issue. Type no. No, I feel that. Whatever the C stands for.

Type deal. I don't know. I don't know much. I mean, I know something about the Cowboys, but I don't know when the last time they won the OECD. I mean. I was born after all their Super Bowls and everything. So I really have experienced any of that. So I guess I got to go.

We got to go make something happen. Yeah, facts. Yeah, facts. How long? Thanks. Do you think he has hot takes on Danny White needs to be in the Ring of Honor? Yeah, I don't. He didn't know Darren Woodson.

He is like a crazy, well-thought-out, not-threat. progressive, but thoughtful. He just, he seems like he thinks about everything he says, but he also is trying to find a way to say, I don't really know what they call the parts of the NFL. Yeah, whatever the AFC and the NFC are, the top of that. Yeah, that was, we did that at his opening press conference where the media is excited to write a big story about how he followed Darren Woodson his whole life and modeled his game after him.

He had never heard of Darren Woodson. Right. Doesn't know who he is. He's R. Vell Reese. And it's interesting. So it's 31 years since the Cowboys. Is that right? Correct math?

Yeah. Since the Cowboys were in the Super Bowl? Yeah. It will be. This year we'll make it 31 years. Okay. So we're creeping up to the area where they don't, they're not going to have one player on their team that was born.

Yeah, that's great. crazy. When the Cowboys were last. Yeah, the guy had, he had no idea. He had no idea any of these things. That's a good thing, I think. Right? Just because he's so football-centric?

Yeah, and just that you're not coming into a team worried about, I almost hate when I hear, like, I was a big cowboy fan. Because in, like, Micah, you know, it's like, you know how heavy it is and you feel it. The baggage. Yeah. Yeah. Stakes. These guy's like, I don't know.

Right. Yeah. Right. You join a team that you know has been bounced out of the playoffs a couple years in a row. And then you're, that's the whole thing is we have to act like, this is a whole new team. Yeah, you really do have to. That's why every year they kind of do, yeah, but Dak was on the team. They're going through the schedule.

And he's like, all right, y'all play, you'll play on Thanksgiving. He's like, Cowboys and Lions always. And Caleb's like, we play the Lions on Thanksgiving? He just has no idea that the Lions play. Lions always play separately. No. It's exciting to him every week. A new thing.

It's like a puppy. Yeah. Every day's new. Are they doing a... Each time his brother would just... Did they do a Thanksgiving Eve last year? Because they're doing a Thanksgiving Eve this year. No.

No. They did not. No. That's what they've added. Because they've added... They did the Black Friday game, right? Yeah. Yeah.

People are not. Yeah. There was a college night. Yeah. College games would normally be that night. I think that's it for sports. That's all I got for you. All right.

That means we now will do the news, and it is going to be brought to us by... There's ticesteroon how today. Ticesteroon, cessorone, whatever the f***erone. It's testosterone. Take care of yourself, bros. A lot of dudes don't. They'll just shove it down. I feel fine.

Oh, Waymo has paused operations in all of Texas. That was due to the severe weather concerns over the weekend. That came in conjunction with big weather in Atlanta the week prior, and the cars were driving into the floods. Did you, I sent Clayton a news story to cut off for that. Did you do that too? No. Oh, okay. I got a cool Atlanta news story. Okay. Want to see it? Sure. Take it away, Clayton. ODCK It's almost every little cul-de-sack around our area

So I think it's a real problem Waymo after Waymo after Waymo Enter this dead end street Usually early in the morning I think yesterday morning We had 50 cars That came through between six and seven Dumbass

Dumbass They're seeing the autonomous driverless cars two months ago But the groupings and large number of Waymo They're just showing Waymo's so riding around the cul-de-s Idiots It's like Truman show They put them right out here.

They put them like a cone. That's not going to help. There's a little turtle, little turtle boy. Oh, see? That's your fault. Oh, my God. Figure out how to turn around. Can you pause it or back it up a little?

Anyway, yeah, they put, they put like a turtle with a hat on. That's popular in my neighborhood, too. Yeah, the slow thing. And then, so now all the waymos are backed up. They don't know how to turn around. And my thing is, well, let's watch the whole thing and determine whether these people are overly worried. At 1.8 Waymoes that were stuck trying to figure out how to turn around. The Waymoes are empty and not picking anyone up.

Parents are worried, not only calling it excessive but dangerous. We're families. We have small kids. We have animals and pets. We've got kids getting on the bus in the mornings. And it just doesn't feel safe to have that traffic. Neighbors reached out to Waymo and have not got a response. They've also contacted their council member, representatives, and GDOT, don't know what to do.

We would just like to see them stay on main traffic roads. I don't think there's any reason to be on small residential cul-de-sacs if they're not picking up somebody. Steve Gelbach, Channel 2, Action News. So, yeah, what were you saying? It's a street. Yeah, it's the same thing as, like, people getting annoyed when someone parks in front of their house. It's a public road. I got one of those wives.

Yep. But again, she's complaining that the eight Waymoes were stuck. Because you put that thing there. You intentionally did that for the Waymo. Yeah, to keep them out. To keep them out. But then now that they're backed up, that could be a problem. It was actually, in my estimation, never really a problem.

Right. Until they got involved and started trying to make them leave because it kind of annoys me. Like you said, the Karen, it doesn't want their car parked in front of my house. well, that's just the way it is. You live on a street, and the way society and, you know, technology is, the Waymos are going to have to... They'll figure it out. Well, that's what I think, and I live on a cul-de-sac.

So call me when eight Waymoes go through there every one and see if I'm... The real question is how fast are they going through there? They drive so safe, though. Austin is full of these things, and they're... Have you all ever ridden in one? Yep. They have. Yeah.

And it's funny, the first time I wrote in a Waymo, it was like driving with the least aggressive driver ever, and it was frustrating. It was like, just make the left turn. Just go. You're holding up everything. And then I took another one a month later, and it was like they'd worked all the bugs out. In our experience, it's been pretty good. There's a camera in there, you know.

Oh, yeah. Oh, there is. When is that HBO series coming? Dude. Waymo. Waymo Confessionals. Yeah. Got to be at some point.

Why don't we start it? Dan, I know you're very worried about your Parker County Peach Hall this year. Peach Hall? Oh, how much peach we're going to pick? We're in trouble. Have you guys seen this news? No. Yeah, they're expecting Texas fruit growers like 10% of a normal crop.

Because we had late freeze and way to. too hot of a summer and too hot of a winter frankly so what year does that not apply like i feel like there's always a free like your flower or your there's like two early sunny days and your uh perennials is that what you call them nailed it your tulips or something they'll come up they'll start to grow and then there'll be another freeze and then it's like oh okay that killed all that like every year right that's a good question i'm i'm I'm questioning these farmers, these peach farmers. Did you ever watch when fake Tony Soprano did Greta Thurnberg, like addressing her?

And he's like, climate change. Fucking always changing. It's raining yesterday. It's clouds tomorrow. We actually went to the grocery store and my daughter brought a peach yesterday and it said Texas peaches. Yeah. And it was really tiny. It's a thing.

Are they exceptionally tiny usually or is this because of the... That I don't know. They're not usually tiny. No, this is a thing. And when you're driving... like on 35, you guys, you see like peach ice cream everywhere. Yeah, there's, it's a big thing.

You drive out east. Yeah. There's too much peach. Okay. Over-peached? You're OD'd on peach. O-D. Peach-mogged. I do not want to make...

I never really understood the peach sex thing. Is it like, you know, the... The emoji? Like as a symbol? Well, like the presidents put out that song, right? You guys remember the presidents of the United States. Oh, yeah. Chloe saw them live. Peech's appropriate.

Millions of peaches. That song clearly has some sort of a sexual... There's a subtext. Right. I could eat a peach. Right. That whole thing. There's a Steve Miller song where they say, I really love your peaches.

Just want to shake your tree. Right. And then now peach just means, I think, cute ass. Yeah, yeah. Now in the emoji world, in the Vaughn Miller world. Hmm. Facts. Facts.

Chloe, you want to help? You want to weigh in on any of that? You nailed it. Nailed it. Okay. We've got a dumb zone parent. of the day. Thank you.

Mom was arrested. Oh, you know what? Boy, there's no way your kid's still in the babysitting game. They're like real people now. Damn. While she's in town for two weeks, maybe, but she's the one that doesn't like babysitting. The bar's low. I don't know.

It's just a warm body to be there to make sure they don't die. Anyways, this mom in El Paso, 45 years old, is facing charges. She falsified documents To visit her son in jail Why is that bad? What do you mean? Why is that bad? Like probably she lied about having a criminal record

Oh, she said she didn't have a criminal record? They just say she lied about that you're being charged with like tampering with evidence But did she falsified documents to get in to visit her son Which I find... I'm saying that. A mother's love. Yeah. Yeah.

But it also makes me think about what you would do. She should have gone and committed a crime to get put in prison. Really take care of him. What's her name? Nancy Alvarez. There's not no chance, but low chance. What did there be a... That you'll be interesting.

What's wrong there? Like I said, not no chance. 11-year-old boy in Oak Cliff was rescued over the weekend. This was Sunday. Yeah, she's not going to be on mugshots. Sorry. Good from far, far from good. Cric.

Oh, say that again? There's an 11-year-old boy arrested, rescued in the Oak Cliff neighborhood Sunday. Boys riding the current downstream behind an apartment, Big Creek. Oh, just for fun? Yeah. Yeah. Ocean Creek. You guys ever have to have, okay.

You guys ever have. have to have, like, emergency, like the cop, the fire called out or anything. Get yourself into a pickle. No, how about you? Not me. I'm not missing with that. Many times for my brother. One of them was, so we had an above-ground pool.

We had it like that. I live in. Of course you did. Made it shake. And at some point, they had made it shake to a point where they built like a deck onto it. Did you guys swim naked in it? No. Oh, Uncle Gary had a neighbor had an above ground pool and me and my brother and cousin would swim naked in it.

Hmm. I don't know why. Dad's. We'd swim naked in my cousin's pool, too. We just grew up swimming naked, bro. We do have more on that in Viewer Mail this week, like generationally, but I think you might not be old enough to have been needing to do that. No, I didn't need to. Well, I feel like the adults should have been like put your clothes back on.

You were swimming naked in your uncle Gary's neighbor's pool? Yeah. Where was Uncle Gary's neighbor? I don't think you can swim naked in someone else's pool. Well, we were just kids. How old? Well, no, that makes it way worse. I know.

I'm looking out for you. 10. 11, 12. I don't think what you think was going on. I don't like that. It seems bad. Oh, really? Like, they're encouraging me, hey. They didn't tell you, hey, get dressed.

That's where you can get undressed right there. I was a coat bag. Where the light's right there. Face the other way. That Uncle Gary was a character. But they built a deck onto the above ground pool. And my brother got stuck under there. They had to like saw the whole thing up.

Like cut the one up. They built it over him? Like no. He was in there, dude. That kid in Everman. He was in there, dude. The baby Jessica of above ground pools. You could just hear, eh.

It was like weaseled his way all the way. Like probably my stepdad was there. So he was probably six. It's a big deal. Did they have to come out for a kemp v. Carr? No, you know what? They did come out for that.

Clayton heard me talk about that on IJB recently. That was another one. So, and this is a, I didn't get hit, so I'm not going to say it's stolen valor, but like, we would say my brother got hit by a car, but he kind of hit a car. He met a car at a 45 degree angle coming down a driveway and smashed into the front passenger side wheel, like panel. Like on a bike? Yeah, on a bike. You mean 90 degree angle? 45, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Where it meets at the 90. And he has kneecap was like, oh, off. Can you imagine the career he would have had, had he not done that? But anyways, this 11-year-old boy was rescued. There's some good news for you. Also good news.

Blake, what do you know about Hallsville? That sounds familiar. They are the bobcats. Hallsville appears to be, rural, what are we talking like, Harrison County, white settlement. Oh, really? No, excuse me. Hallsville is almost all the way, it's East Texas.

Let's just put it like that. So Hallsville is playing against white settlement Brewer in softball last week. Forward Brewer. It says white settlement brewer. Yeah. I bet you a little article does. They're probably just trying to force the term white settlement in there wherever they can. But so there's a, this is rivalry season, and the announcers are on the call, and one of them says this.

Only problem, young lady on deck, you hadn't been able to get out either. You think this is going to be by the first four or five seconds, they're a sensitive, inclusive comment. He ain't been out either. Only problem, young lady on deck, you hadn't been able to get out either. Well, she's done walked and did the money sign every time she goes down. I want to get her out. 1-0-1-pitch, I mean, 0-1-pitch, swung in a miss, 0-2. it's kind of like I'm not I wouldn't be mad if she got one in the earhole

I'm not supposed to say that at me hey I like a little competitive I'm trying yeah I mean she's got a little cocky about her up there on the mountain at the plate it's high school sport that is the O2 pitch fouled off the net back in the little short little old short there gosh I'm gonna get in trouble for that no you know no no no no all three other people listen to this nobody going to say nothing. That's not the way it works anymore, unfortunately. The Star Telegram cut that clip out.

I tried to find an even longer one, but it's longer than the first clip I saw, which they included this thing at the beginning, which I do kind of feel like gives the guy vindication. He's like, this chick is awesome. She's so good. I wish we could just, like, earhole her here and not have to pitch to her.

I don't feel like there's anything too malicious in there. Just what Florida did to miss. Williams. It's high school, though. It is high school. You know, like, oh, he's an earhole them. You know, I've had experience with high school parents. Scummy.

That can get loud and over something that doesn't mean anything and the kids don't care about. And that's what this is, probably. Yeah. And it's very likely a parent, not even a parent of one of the kids. That often does happen. The good news is it provided us with a phenomenal apology being. go.

Excellent. This was posted to the Bobcat radio Facebook page. We have spoken at length with the commentator involved who is deeply devastated and filled with regret over his words. He sounded there like he probably would be if anybody did comment. He wants to make it unequivocally. You guys are equivocallying, and I'm doing it un. I've equivocally apologized.

That he meant absolutely no malice or harm to the player, her family, or anyone on or the field it was a completely thoughtless lapse in judgment a poor choice of words in the heat of the moment but it does not reflect his actual heart or intent in reality he is incredibly impressed by her as a player loves the confidence she plays with and highly respects her competitive spirit anyone who knows him knows he would never truly wish injury upon anyone yeah he's sorry for how his words came out and this is all probably true by the way the guy that's just dicking around Is that something kind of, you know, I guess a little off color? Well, I hope they fired him and he never works again in any industry.

Are we playing a high school broadcast audio? I have one from baseball. Oh, okay. This is from the Woodlands and Walks a Hatchie series that made waves. I don't know if this guy will be putting on his headset again. Just no class. They're throwing water into our stands. All over trying to.

to hit my equipment, just what a bunch of assholes. Sorry. Sorry. I'll be more and glad to give Rockwall everything they need. Thank you very much. Sorry. There's times where I try to keep it to him, but stuff like that, I just don't. I just don't. It's unacceptable. No class whatsoever.

Win with dignity. Win like you've done it before. Obviously, they haven't. He tried to keep broadcast bravado during that. Nothing better, though. Sorry, I try to keep it a tin. But sometimes these motherfuckers are simply forcing me to go a little bit beyond the pale. On my soundboard.

Again, a four-two loss here. He could not find the fool because he took it down. Yeah. Love the whole. They're not winning the right way. Win with dignity. Because then you'd take it You know

You can tell they haven't won before You'd just take it I love it What is he get He's gonna ride up Rockwall Like a scouting report I'm gonna give Rockwall Everything I have

I'm gonna give Oh that was confused by that At first too Like oh boy Ooh Three hole hitter Throw him a curve ball Blake by the sound

Of that Next gen What do you got cooked up over there Do you know The exact layout Of that press box he's in No I have an idea.

Apparently it was the students celebrating throwing water in the air and it went in the press box. Sports rule. That's not the way we used to do it. It's not how you just relax. And I'm going to close with this one. It's the video I just put in there, Clayton, and I don't want to wait another day. I should have played this for you guys last week. It's been on the local news now.

You need to find this video if you haven't seen it. It is a video posted by the Burleson Public Library. Burleson. Burleson Library has everything you need for your hot girl summer. Pause it. Pause it. Yeah, no, I don't go yet. Yeah.

So we've got the most central casting librarian of all time. Like, she's got... Love it. The perm. She's old. She's got, like, a huge t-shirt on, mom jeans, like... Branda. Like, just negative...

sex appeal. Like actually on the other side of sexuality. Her voice sounds like the hydrocodone just kicked in. Yeah. She's very lazy delivery. She's on the steps of the library. She's out front. Sounds like

smoking. Kind of like a pin up girl. Benbrook Library or excuse me, Burleson Library. And then she kind of goes through the library and does little cheeky like when there's a guy checking out books and She'll write up next to them and go, big book energy.

It's just, that's a trend now with, like, having cute olds, like, say, Gen Z slang. And I guess at some point it is probably corny, but at this first one here, it's almost funny, it's Burlison. It's just like everybody's grandparents live there. Burleson Library has everything you need for your hot girl summer. She does a hair flip. Hairful. Oh, gross. What's obsessed.

Looking at books. Main character energy. That is the biggest shirt I've ever seen. Gaming! Yeah, she just had some Halloween books in. Big book energy. Is there a little bit of Max Mom? Yeah.

Kind of vibe. Yeah, she's a little boozy. What is this for? Just promoting the. It's social media promotion. Reading. Come to the Burlinson Library. Yeah, come read this summer.

They're trying to like capitalize on like Gen Z. Like I've seen these videos. I've seen them for like museums. Again, fascism. No one's going to libraries or museums. And we're making 70-year-old women do the marketing. Yeah, that's the true story here. Right?

They're like, when you're done cleaning the bathroom, aren't you hop out there and make a social media video for us next? All this is such a waste of time. Right? Like the Burleson. This isn't making more people go to that library. Oh, you don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. On our way back to Austin. Yeah, no one knows, and that's the thing. I don't know. Maybe it does help the show. It's a good thing for the city. It's wasting our time. It's wasting in Burleson's time.

It's waste in South Lake Police Department's time. They should be doing other shit. Southlake police should be doing things that you're right? The Burlinson library, they got stuff to do. I'll bet there's a lot of stuff to clean up in that life. They hired an intern and this is what the intern. You should be doing. For office, Dan.

Get back to work. I'm sick at these. Fat cat library. All of this is a waste of time. Welfare queens working at library. That lady is definitely retired, volunteer. Right. Happy birthday.

Thank you. This sucks. You know, it's not a waste of time. Warby Parker. Hey. It is. Glasses on me, yeah. Wedding Cisin.

Vacation Cisin. A lot more photos getting taken. And if you wear glasses, you're wearing those glasses in every photo. So why not wear your Warby... Are those your Warby Parkers? They are. I have got two pair.

I've been a Warby Parker customer for a long time. Me too. Yeah, I used to pay a lot more for glasses. Right. I wear my contacts today, but I have two Warby Park. I have prescription sunglasses Warby Parkers in the car. This guy. Great way to go.

Get you a couple. This guy. And we got a promo code for you. It is. Warbyparker.com slash dumbzone. You can buy one prescription pair, get 20% off any additional prescription pairs at. Remember the website? Anyone?

You were looking over it. Warbyparker.com slash dumbzone. No, facts. 20% off additional prescription pairs when you go to W-A-R-B-Y-Parker.com slash dumb zone. It will not spell that for you. Let's see. Viewer male birthdays, hello Daniel. Saturday was Chris All's Houses

Jackie Robinson birthday. Good dude. We don't know that. I know that. He's currently working on proving out a 690 sit-in case to his wife after the incredible own-wealth savings he received on this year's property taxes. Hey now. Meanwhile, he's really looking forward to being one of 69,

lucky recipients of the coveted pea jar at the GSC in a couple weeks. His leaders are Dan's ever-hardening stance on never going back to the Mavericks until Tommy boy and his evil stepmother are gone. Jake's seemingly every other weekend vacations and Blake's late 90s sitcom knowledge. More Jimmy Nelson, more Ted Emrick, respectful bow from Patrick Payne. Mr. Dan, not a birthday shout-up, but a death day one for me today. is the day I am getting a vasectomy and my little guys

will no longer see the light of day. I will be listening to the dumb zone during surgery. Maybe we can time it up so this is red at the exact moment my balls are getting cut off or whatever they do. I think I'm headed for that. Women love it. Saved our marriage.

Moment of silence for my balls. James Milby Milburn. I thought you were supposed to do it on like master's weekend or something or March Madness. March Madness. At least wait for Grand Theft Auto or something. I do mine before the Tonys so I can get all caught up. Yeah, or the Bafters.

The Bafas. And dear Dan Molestina. Is Grand Theft Auto about to come out? In the fall. Okay. We got to figure out. You'll notice a drop in the shows. That's what I'm going to say. When social media clips stop or whatever.

Clayton's late. No more Burleson library videos. I stopped taking a new clients for a few weeks. Yeah, it's going to be big. Today is my 42nd birthday. My wife woke me up in that special way. So for now, I have post-nut clarity. My plan later today is to take my kids to have dinner with my homeless friend,

for whom I am his benefactor. Yeah, it's... Please add 90s herbal essences commercials to the Bad Beach list. Holy. Oh, my God. Yeah. My goodness. Just use the problem.

product while you're at it, you know? Yeah. Let's all have a drink from Jake's piss jar to celebrate. Boy. I had a great piss jar weekend. Oh, I bet. Yeah. Musculoskeletal yours from Rex.

Musculoskeletally yours? Yeah. That's really funny. My wife got an ad for a child's piss jar. Okay, that can only be. Baby's first piss jar. I almost sent you guys a picture because on Friday, Last weekend.

Planning on abducting a child? Right. You're going to need this. You have no time to stop. There are cameras everywhere. Have a pissing this. No. My wife drove me to the beach on Friday.

Like I had driven back from Louisiana the weekend before, and she didn't really have to work. So I'd be pretty sweet if I didn't have to drive. She's like, I'll drive. So I just set in the backseat. Oh, backseat? I almost sent Clayton a picture. drive me. Yeah, I just said the back.

I'm like, look, we're basically the same distance from each other. Why wouldn't you sit in the front? There's more room. It feels like you're less forced to talk. Right. You got captain's chairs in that? Yeah. Bexie. Yeah. Yeah. Four. Really man spread.

And then also just occasionally she would be up there and she would hear me peeing. Because I'm already in the back, you know. It's great. She'd put up the divider. The divider. Yeah.

Community Mechanical presents on this day in history. Camellian mechanical, we can focus on them for a moment because they are the DZGSE title sponsor. They are bringing air conditioning to the generic summer event. They could bring air conditioning to you. And you know what I'd say, Jake? It's a perfect time of year to kind of get that air conditioner looked at. Yeah.

As the searing heat is about to come upon us. I'm about to come upon us. And we would like to put your attention towards Community Mechanical, because you could at least sign up for that preventive maintenance. Get them out there, give your whole system a nice little tune-up, make sure you're ready for the summer. That's what they did for me the other day. CommunityDFW.com 469-667-7-290.

I did the deal you do with the dentist where I replaced all the air filters before they got there like a week before. Why did you do that? Happened to, I don't know, my teeth are always this thing. So they're all impressed? Yeah, and they were like, why did you do this? First of all, it's not even the right size. Second boy, you don't need one in this part.

Yeah. That's, why do you have one there? I'm like, somebody else must have left it. I'm a man. That's the other company. I promise. Communitydfw.com. So today is Tuesday, May 26th.

On this day in 1908, It's the first ever family road trip across the United States. Jacob Murdoch, his wife and kids, went from Los Angeles to New York City. 1908. 1908, so they're driving 20 miles an hour? How long did that take them? And do you think there's a good interstate highway system back then? No, I don't.

Do you think perhaps, because I read about this this morning, maybe in the early, like the first thousand miles of that trip. Did we have to be pulled out of quicksand? Oh, damn. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Wow. You think she was taking that well?

Quick sand used to be a big thing. Anyway, it took them 32 days, five hours, and 25 minutes. Jacob, I told y'all not to go that way. With Matt Grimm driving. You're in quicksand now. Do you think he hit her with ass, grass, or gas? 1977 on this day someone named George Willig

scaled the outside of the South Tower of the World Trade Center he was arrested at the top and he ended up being fined one cent for every story he climbed 110 stories so really they were like oh whatever

and it was the worst thing that ever happened there to the towers on this day in 1993 is the day that Carlos Martinez of the Cleveland Indians hit a long fly ball to about the warning track where Jose

Kenseko camped under it, missed the catch, it hit his head and bounced over the fence. I don't think he was camped. That's who I was looking for earlier when I was describing the Johnny fight. Ken Seiko? Yeah. It had that feel to it. He wasn't camped. He was kind of

drifting back. Yeah, he was playing back. Yeah, drifted back. Anyway, it bounced on his head and over the fence. run. I'd kill for his bat right now, though. KT had a funny tweet. I hate to ask, but can that racist Ranger statue hit?

He's got enough wood for it. It's not a penis. It looks like an erection. Again, it's not a penis. It really does. And on this day in 2020, Minneapolis police issued a statement saying George Floyd died after a medical incident.

And then somebody put a video and they were like, oh, oh, ah, and then lots of stuff. stuff happened. Did you see someone repost a video and say, look at the gas prices back then. It was $1.75. Was it really? What the picture said? Wow. So it's May 26, this day in Dumb Zone history. I got a few things. First, going back to 2021, we had a short word segment. Listen to these. Natural Selects for natural selection. Sacrilege or sacrilegious. A hot com. Hot commodity?

Yeah. Hot com. And I think this was from Soroy, Ellie's. For elephants. Ellies. In 2022, Jake and his wife went to go see the Downton Abbey movie, and you said she walked out of the movie crying. They're all here. Yep.

It was a big moment. Oh, yeah. Let me go back real quick to what you're just talking about. Yeah. The law of natural selection prevails at major. especially the national championship where only the strong survived. Beauty.

That's strong. Ted's on it. 2020 was the year we discovered Joey Zanaboney. Do you remember this guy? Yeah, guys. Steve. Gen Z broadcaster. It's been a pretty fun year.

It's been a pretty fun year. It's been at some adversity throughout the year, but I think with that brings a lot of character, and I think that's what these guys are doing. They're having a lot of fun playing, and I appreciate you. Kurt Silas. Grout ball.

Oh, what a diving effort by Richardson. It's cleaner than Christian radio at the Sponge Bath Clinic. He is a 14th in tremendous fashion. You like that? Yes. I like it once. What about this? Hopefully Sean Penn is out there watching on ESPN Plus right now.

Yes. Here's a ground ball might be two to sure. Panetta. Richardson on first. That's all she wrote for a good low and big. Bishop, six, four, and three. If not quite Taylor-Made, then it was at least men's warehouse level. Damn.

I want to hear the Sean Penn stuff he was talking about before that. He was probably doing some Spicoli. Maybe. Who knows with Joey Zanaboney. He was on our show, wasn't he? Yeah, we had a lot. It's into the twin killer. I wonder where he is.

He definitely thought he was headed to ESPN or the big seat. People just can't get it up. Joey Zanabony. Joey Z. No, we still follow him. Instead, he's just hoping someday that Johnny Mansell will want to fight him. Put out a children's book. Those are tough.

Actually, I think you, the only guy I know has one is a two sports star, so I think the bar. Pretty high, actually. You can be little children's authors if you'd like. In 2023, Dan knew a guy who had a Swinger's Retro Room. Oh, my gosh. It says here, you also wanted to. pole to slide down in your house. I wanted it in 2022 or just like as a kid?

I guess as a kid. Yeah. Didn't we all? You want a fireman's pole? Yeah. Wake up. Those in the mix. Ghostbusters had one.

And then one final thing, why Hillary lost back in 2023. Jake, do you remember this story where a sports center anchor had to apologize to a Golden Knights defenseman? The defenseman's name is Zach Whitecloud. The sports center guy while doing highlights said, What kind of name is White Cloud? A great name if you're a toilet paper. He had to apologize because Zach White Cloud is Indian.

Native. Native, yeah. Feather? Yeah, that sucks because he made fun of the guy's name, but in no way made fun of the guy's heritage. No. In no way made fun of his culture, his national. That would have been just terrible.

That would have hurt so many. But you could understand if he would have been like, White Cloud, that makes sense. He's playing like a guy drunk out there on the blue line. Or with all the gambols he's making in the offensive zone, you know what I mean? Yeah. Playing like he's got a fever.

Right. You can see him there after giving up two goals on a real trail of, yeah. So that to me is bad, probably. The worst part in this is the player has no idea he said anything. But now the players approached. Hey, this guy said this about your last name. Oh, that's not cool.

And then White Cloud says, I think it was an attempt at humor that came out as being obviously insensitive. No. Obviously. No. So since I am the professional athlete here, let's keep the world revolving around me and make this little peon to apologize to me. And that's the thing, too, is it's a classic WHL because it does put us in a spot. I don't think the cotton-picking guy in Oklahoma City was being racist. Of course not.

I don't think so either. There may be some races. But if I go to this all-knowing athlete, and the all-knowing athlete says, yeah, I think he should be fired. Done. Okay, then he's fired. Yeah, but he's worked here 35.

I don't care. This current athlete that we say is very good and could bring us joy here. It sucks. Why do we, are we the only city that just didn't kiss the ass of the athlete and just like, yeah, we'll just trade him. What are we doing?

Yeah, we had it backwards a little bit. Elsewhere. Oh, my first celebrity birthday birthday. Not related to anything we were talking about here. Micah Parsons is 27. 27, dude. Yeah, and I would say maybe we talk about this more as we talk Caleb Downs. I was as in love with Micah as it gets, although it is funny to listen on draft night.

I was not like a huge fan because it was a weird time, man. There was a lot going on. Maybe that's a debate. But the guy had been accused to put his dick on people in the locker room. He had a rap sheet, right? Nobody ever thought Micah was going to be like the guy. He's awesome. He's very fun.

What I'm telling you is, and I, again, I texted Bob about this yesterday. I was like, if you listen to this guy's podcast, Bob's point was like, it's virtually impossible for this dude to meet expectations at this point. Caleb Downs? Yeah. Yeah. Like, Micah, nobody expected anything. People were mad. They drafted him.

They wanted a corner. There was like, oh, God, this guy. Caleb Downs, they're like, that would have been, if we had the number one pick, we would have. And maybe Jesus is available. And we still, it's crazy. But he sounds like that. Talks like a quarterback, you know. That's like I was texting, frankly, KJ who played football about it and is black.

This talks him this morning. Like, why aren't there more dudes like that? If you're a quarterback, instead of being the fourth quarterback at Texas, why don't you go be a safety? Like he talks, like he just has that, like, juice, that aura of, like, people want to follow him. And he's the quarterback of the defense. You just don't see many guys. guys say, I want to go do that instead.

Got to make it cool. Somehow. Kevin Kennedy is 72. He was a Rangers manager. I wonder why he stopped managering. Is he with Arizona? 500 is a Ranger manager. Then the strike season.

So somehow he's gone from the Rangers after that year. The season got canceled. they were first in the American League West. It says here when they canceled the season. And then the next year he's managing Boston. That's really weird. Then he's out after two more years.

I wonder what's the deal? What's going on, Blake? Why isn't Kevin Kennedy getting his due? Why do you hear so much about Kevin Kennedy? Once again, the white man being kept down. They were in first in the AOS and the strike shortened year. That's what it says here. With a record of 52 and 62.

The chick was hot. A.J. McCarron's girlfriend? Yeah. They're married now, I believe. Yeah. Not that I'm following that. The Brent Musburger, I pine for a day when CBS would say, let's do a surprise firing of the guy who is the face of our network.

Please. And everybody would... Baby Jesus. Because Brent Musburger was, basically, Basically, Jim Nance. He did everything. They had the Olympics, whatever they had, golf. It was Brent Musburger's on the scene. He is the face of the whole network. He got fired. Why can't we do that today in 2026? He's already announced his retirement date.

He looks like a vampire And our dumb zone birthday of the day Blake I give it to Blake Because he first got me into this show Matt Stone Is 55 That's our dumb zone birthday of the day.

You're watch your top 10 Blake South Park episodes to commemorate. I never realized how insecure Jake was until that time when he went on vacation and we fell in love with Blake. So drinking craft beer. Born on the stay now dead. Tell your mom, John Wayne. Oh, I call him Marion. Sally Rye. I wonder if we have any John Wayne audio.

The first American woman in space. Oh, yeah, didn't he, like, do the Playboy interview where he's like, I don't know about them black people. He did the Playboy interview, but another one is where he's up at, like, some podium just blackout. And he is lamenting the changes in society. And everybody's like, oh, no way. He is talking to young cadets. What if I just fire this up?

Go ahead. Yeah, yeah. Let's see what happened. My name is William Wayne. This is so unimportant. I want to add anything that I can add to what he said. Let's go about a minute. No, but really it's a...

It's a commencement speech. When I went to school, I went to school at the University of Southern California. Okay, maybe I'll go through this and get back to it. Yeah, hang on. I've never even heard of this. I haven't even heard of this. I haven't even credible. Dude, it's crazy.

He starts going in on, yeah. Send it to me. Very ethnicities, yeah, it's very. I want it. And, excuse me, born in this day now, dead. Jack Kavorkian. Yeah. Dead on this day, still dead.

Theodore Morel. That's right. Hitler's personal physician. Bart Starr. You got that audio? The thing is, I had two sons. Alan Bean, Jake, or Blake, who's Alan Bean? Died on this day in 2018.

The dad from Frazier. We should all know Alan Bean. He was the fourth man to walk on the moon. You have two sons, one of whom I know very, very well, your son, Bart Jr. Your other son's name is Brett? Is that correct? That's correct, but it's just with one T. but Brett, our son passed away almost 19 years ago.

He's no longer alive. That's an amazing, ironic note, though, that you would have a son that you had named Brett and your successor of greatness at quarterback at the Packers would be named Brett. What an amazing history. I don't know that, yeah, upon further review, like, they probably had,

I'm just guessing, like 20 quarterbacks between Bart Starr and Brett Favre? Quite a few. Maybe 30? Not crazy uncommon names. To say it's an amazing thing that it's your successor to greatness. Now you're saying, well, what was his name, Makowski? Don McCowski won the NFL MVP in the 80s. So I'm saying they did have a good, you know, he won the MVP.

We had somebody pretty good at quarterback at one point. Norm had a point to make. Dead on this, also, finally dead on this day, still dead. Ray Leota. And that's what happened on this day. He used to work out at Gabe Kapler's gym. Really? In L.A.

Because I used to always try to get Gabe to get a guest. Let's come on, book Ray Leota, dude. Would he smoke during that? Probably. Anyway. Anyway. Closing remarks today will be brought to us by Frankel and Frankel. If you guys should get in an accident on your way back to Austin,

please call Frankel and Frankel at 214 or 817, then dial all threes. They'll sue a robot. You get hit by one of those things? Oh, my God, they'd probably be rubbing their hands together. One of those robotic semi-trucks. That's right. They'll take care of that. Do they have Waymo trucks now?

Yeah. They have no driver in a truck? It's not everywhere, but like very, very desolate places. And then you got robotaxies also. So just a few more right now, then. That seems safer to me if it's just on the highway. Well, let's, you know what? Let's hope it's not so that Franco and Frankel can be there to help you.

Although they'd find some other things. If somebody eradicated accidents, that's what Franco and Franco would really like. Just helping. They do. They want to help the little guy. In fact, they used to work for the big insurance companies, and it's an amazing story. Like, they just didn't feel right like doing this. I was talking to one of them.

He was saying, you know, I saw that I was, you know, I would win, yet I saw like a paraplegic, like I kept money from that guy. And he goes, I realized I'm on the wrong team. and so they're now on the good, the morally correct team. So it's Frankl and Frankel, personal injury lawyers. They will help you. You will talk to a – look, they're going to talk to a – you'll talk to a partner if you give them a call, and they'll set you straight. You might not need Frankl and Frankel, but they'll give you some advice on what to do.

So closing remarks. It's kind of funny to imagine like a robot in like a people's court like neck phrase. Are you thinking it's like the Lost in Space robot? It looks crazy like that? Your Honor. Or would it be just like a little box? It's funny. Then a little robot shirt and tie.

How about the robot that was dancing to Billy Jean and fell down? Oh, yeah. That's a crazy one. Okay, so we have, of course, Lane Ingram, who is our therapist. Don't put any spaces in that word. And we have Chloe, who identifies as queer. Yes. Before anything.

The queer architect. A quarkitect, yeah. And what does that mean? The queerness or the architecture? Well, yeah, I don't know much about either one of them. I've seen more videos on the first one probably. So you identify as queer. You're gay?

What is queer or gay? Queer is a broad, all-encompassing term. So it can mean any number of things. but what does it mean to you for me i i i identify as pansexual so that's uh that's a w hl um what does it mean pansexuality means like i am attracted to anyone regardless of gender i don't have a preference what's not why is that not bisexual because it is more encompassing of people who identify as non-binary or trans holy shh, shit. I don't know what's going on now. My brain is blowing up.

That part wasn't that complicated though, right? Yeah. Like if you're, did you say bye? I said what's by, why aren't you bisexual? She said pansexual. Yeah, because if you, then if you're by, it would only be someone who identifies as male and male or female and female or male. So, but if you have they involved. So many more. It's kind of like what we were talking about with Bruce Jenner, to be honest with you. Like this person has transitioned, but they're still having sex with this gender. So you could date, you would date Caitlin Jenner, who still has a weaner but is identifying as, whereas a bisexual might say, but that's weird. I don't want to date Caitlin Jenner.

It's more. And you're like, oh, what's so weird about the former decathlon champion? Throw it in the pan. Okay, is that why it's called pansexual? Yeah, it's the handle of a pan. It's a handle of a pan. You throw it all in a big pan. So it could have been called pot sexual.

Yeah. Right, right. Cockpot. Yeah. Okay. So everybody in there together. Yeah. Having fun.

All right. Yeah, I think I'd probably, if I had to go be bisexual or pansexual, I might end up just going bisexual. But I don't know because there's some nice looking dudes that dress as ladies. And they end up looking good. Yeah. All right, I'll get in the pan. Yeah. It's a wild world out there, you know.

You move to Austin. But you identify as, you don't, you're not pan. You identify as queer. Yeah. I just, I like it as a term because it's it. But you guys are married? We are married. Yeah.

Ever bring a third into the whole thing? Uh-huh. Okay. Yep. Dude? We, yeah. Sometimes a dude. We did.

We tried it. Uh-oh. It didn't go far. Yeah. A little taste. No. Okay. Yeah.

How does that work then when you're reading? It was weird because Blake wouldn't take his shirt off. Right. He insisted on. Like during it. A lot of arrowhead. You don't. You only need my bottom.

If you're ever like on a date, sometimes during it, you both, y'all kind of know. Like, so now you're in it, though, and you're all naked and stuff. Do you know, like, ah, this ain't going to happen again. But all three of you are like, uh. Yeah, I think everyone's very polite. Uh-huh. Yeah. Never been any, any jerks.

It's the, it's, uh, yes, it's poly. Polyamory is what we're, ethical non-monogamy. Yeah. It's kind of. Word. I know. Yeah, but I mean, yeah, we're, we sound. I'm like total weirdos.

And how do you find a third? Do you just is it usually somebody you know already? The field app? No, we don't, we don't mess. There's an app? There's an app specifically for, you know, the... For people in, like, I would say like, atypical relationship structures. So people that aren't necessarily monogamous.

Yeah, it's cool. It's fine. It's fine. Not that big of a deal once you're in it. Well, and I thought I was very... At first, like, we can't do this. We fooled around with another woman, but I don't want you fooling around with other guys. And then we went to, we did therapy and talked it out.

Yeah. I saw a therapist. Oh, you went together? Yeah. To a couple's therapy. We've done couples therapy. Yeah. We still do couples therapy.

I do couples therapy for clients and I have gone to couples counseling. So you went to couples therapy and the root of that one was, I don't know if I need another guy in there, nailing my wife. And then the therapist is like, look, it's all good. And then you're like, okay. But I got little by little accustomed to it and I'm okay with it. It's all good. Living life. Yeah.

Just people. Like are you involved as well? Are you just over in the corner like Fallwell? I'm not, you know, I'm not into that. We watched all of heated rivalry and I'm like checking in with myself. Hey, is this doing anything for me? It's not. I'm painful.

I'm very straight. I just... Oh, so you attempted to... Like, let's get in the pan. Let's just see how this is. Well, it's like, you know, I'm doing stuff. Here's someone else who's doing stuff.

And I was like, nah, not for me. Didn't do anything for me. You might need a buddy, like something that you already know. Like a Stockton Malone team work. Yeah. Yeah, something like that. But it was somebody you didn't really already know. I'll tell you where it's a game changer.

I think something I'm going to start doing is halfway through the mother-in-law visits, I'm just going to... tag in her partner. I'm just like, I'm out. I'm going to play video games back home. Everybody share the load. So you have another partner too now? I do. Okay. What does that mean? Who is trans? Yeah, I have a partner who's trans. When I met them, they were a guy. So just as I got used to, oh, my God, my wife has a boyfriend. And then I was like, oh, that's cool. It's not a big deal. Okay. And the next thing you know, it's, oh, my wife has a girl friend now. Okay, okay, okay. But playing the long game.

You just, yeah. Yeah. Really? Yeah. It's not too bad. Yeah. None of it happened overnight. It was all very, like, slow and we just talk through things. Organic. Yeah. And I'm over here taking a GLP1 working on myself. You'd be able to keep up. Yeah, I've got to, yeah. I'm about to start. I might do the peptides, you know, got to. They say that's the range. All the rage is peptides.

Exactly. They got a games. I just looked it up. They got a game day in Austin. Yes. I believe at least one of those. Ethical non-monogamy. I wonder if we can find out the one of our guy, one of the owners of the Dallas locations owns one of them in Austin.

So we should try to steer you there. There we go. Yeah. But do you have like a girlfriend and stuff too besides your wife? No. No, no. I've been working on myself. I've been going to therapy and working.

working on myself. I've been leveling up myself. You're making a shake? Yeah, my therapy practice is doing what. I know so many couples now want to talk about, yeah, we were thinking of opening things up. And then how it always starts is, well, as the guy, I've pressured my wife into doing the occasional threesome. Uh-huh.

And apparently now she wants to bang another guy. And it's like, yep, that's how it starts. Yep. Because you, you kind of. The unintended consequence. the little, oh, wouldn't that be crazy, babe, if we hooked up with another woman? And you say that enough times and it happens. And then it's like, okay, how about we return the favor to, uh, mama?

And I personally would find nothing wrong with that. It's just like, yeah, you deal with her for a while. Honestly, it's amazing. Yeah, it's, sometimes it's like, wow, that's came in clutch. I get to play forza. But is there, so would there be more jealousy? if there was some kind of an emotional attachment more? I think it definitely could lend itself to that.

Like, you know, I'd say in ethical non-monogamy, there's a whole range of relationship dynamics where some people are very strict about, you know, we can be intimate with other people, but you don't want to have that emotional bond. And I think for us, it was just, it was a conversation. Like, we didn't start off thinking, oh, we're going to, like, potentially fall for other people.

We understand that it's a possibility, but like, let's just take it one step at a time. And, yeah, the person that I met, I just met them and just developed a connection with them over time. And yeah. It is probably good because you can't, if you picked up her phone and saw her sexting, you can't be mad. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it takes a lot of arguments away.

Yeah. There's just, yeah, the biggest thing is that it's just, it involves a lot of communication and being very transparent with each other. And yeah, it's not an easy thing to do. do and I wouldn't recommend most people do it unless they're willing to put in the work to be very transparent with their husband. It's so much work. It's a lot of work. You got to read books on it.

You have to like talk constantly. Books? You have to like unlearn stuff. Patriarchy. You got to unlearn all the patriarchy stuff because I'm over there like, but woman mine. Yeah. Woman mine. Facts.

You know. Thanks, Caleb. Anything else for closing remarks besides what I'm steering you into? No, the only other thing, I have a gift for you guys. I felt like, you know, your listeners, the fellow D.Fers have done such a great job of embellishing the studio with lots of fan-made art. And I just felt like we could try to maybe class up the joint a little bit. And so I painted you a watercolor. Wow.

I painted you a watercolor. Whoa. of my favorite Jim Nance quote. How about that? Over a field of poppies. It's a lovely field of poppies. That's amazing. Rory's daughter, Poppy.

Yeah, yeah. I just thought that would be a nice addition. And she has a little inscription on the back here too for y'all. Yeah, just to you guys. Dude, let me tell you, I'm clocking them immediately. She's watercolored for therapeutic reasons. Yeah. regularly.

My wife's sitting down now and just painting, watercolor painting, coloring books. For real? Oh yeah. My wife did adult coloring books. Adult coloring books. She's done of them. But she listens more to y'all than I do

because I can't listen and work at the same time. That would be bad. Because that would be bad for everybody. But she's over there architecting with that, you know, autocad and stuff. And she listens to you all the time. So I thought this is my gift to her is to get the sit in here.

Yeah. And if you have any, listeners that are thinking of doing a remodel to their house or wanting to do a new house. We do projects all over the state. We even have out-of-state clients. You don't have to be just in Austin, but our firm's website is Austinarchitect.com. You can email me at Chloe at Austin Architect.com. Yeah.

And then I still have my practice going. I love working with the Dumb Zone listeners. It's always been great when a deal. Effer hits me up. And that's Lane Ingram. What is it? Lane at upside wellness.com. And my Instagram handle as of recently is now Crossfire Hurrah Lane.

Hurricane, but with an L for that C. So that's me. All right. Sweet. Yeah. You guys have a lot. Oh, what I should say? I just got a network with Aetna. Also a network with

United Healthcare and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Yeah. And oh, look me up on psychology today. United's the shooter, the Luigi guy. Whoa. Yeah. Is that what you were saying? So they'll probably just thumb up everything now, right?

Supposedly United Healthcare has started. Yeah. Saying yes more now. But it worked. But it worked. Still have the video. Adios, mofo. We got to go before this becomes a zoo.
