we'll be our friend Travel and Dan. Dan will be away from Dallas-Fort Worth for two weeks. Two plus weeks, maybe? What's a Cali say? We're back to four. Full string on the 21st. So, yeah, exactly two weeks. On the 20th, they're showing the original space jam in movie theaters.

Where we're bound to get up? Which theaters? All of them? Like, it's a wide release. I think AMC theaters. So I think that might be a skip day for Brooks, and we're going to go see the original space jam. And you're saying, you're always saying that you need him to see what, what's her name? Lola Bunny.

What Lola looked like before? before she was a lesbian. Yeah. She used to be very conventionally picturesque. Now, in fact, though, she, while it might be woke, just looks way more like most women who play basketball really well. Be they straight or gay. You know?

Yeah. Slides, big shorts, ponytail. But in the next one, she'll be on the fat shot and she'll be thin. Have you seen Olivia Munn recently? No. Too small? They all have like ghost face. Oh, really?

Yeah. Ghost face is like small. Yeah, the cheeks are... Yeah, like the painting. Yeah. I saw something... I'm not a big Instagram guy. This is probably why.

But I saw something yesterday. I've been like looking, you know, my whole bit of, like, how to shoot a basketball. You're doing that now? All of it. This is what I do for fun, is the stuff that you did when you were seven. Okay. And I don't... I certainly didn't search that on Instagram, but I'm aware of how this all works.

and how all the information pools and ties together. I'm on Instagram, and all of a sudden, I'm served a reel or a video. It's a basketball coaching instruction video, but the chick is just hot as, it's like the hottest chick. She's got a sports brawl with her tits hanging out. Love it. Like a just perfectly built body, and she's like, given a pivot. And she's like, you want to feel the defender's weight into your hip before you make that turn.

It's like, what are we doing? I'll give you a triple threat. It's just an insane combination of how am I supposed to focus? How am I supposed to chip? And joining us, thank you, millennial Blake, and joining us now. That's when he was funny. Adam Sandler? Yeah.

Peak Prime. See, here's the Adam Sandler thesis of the show. Dan probably rates it correctly as, yeah, okay. I think his earlier stuff is way better than it probably is, and you think his older stuff is. is way better than it probably is. Are you talking about the movies? Yes.

Billy Madison, Mr. Deeds, Waterboy. I bet you like Little Nicky. I'd never, it scared me. My brother loved Little Nicky. Anyway, here's Dan. Already froze up right as we were going to go. No, I'm good. Okay.

We don't need the video. What's up, Playboy? Partying, bro. Yeah? On the road. I passed over over Ronald Reagan Memorial Highway. I thought of your mom.

Yeah. Maybe that's where it happened. On the highway. The highway probably wasn't named that yet, but maybe they go back there. Would it be weird if your parents had the Bill Gates set up thing, your divorced parents? I think about that a lot. What does that mean? Well, it's not exactly analogous, but Bill Gates, specifically because this involves Bill Gates,

key component of making this work. But when he was married to his wife, Melinda, he had a college girlfriend, I think, that he would go visit once a year and stay with for a couple weeks, a few weeks somewhere in the Carolinas. And, I mean, he did, you know, I think he denied that they were sexually involved,

but what are we doing here? Yeah. He said they would talk science, talk ideas, which they probably did. The science is how to fit this thing into your thing. Right. Discosity. I'll code.

Yeah, I'll program that ass. I guess what I'm saying is what if your divorced parents still got together like once every couple years. That would be good. I mean, I think back to my dad, like I wanted, not then, I didn't want my dad to be sexually happy, but I want Brooks to want me to be sexually happy. So, yeah. In retrospect, yeah, I wish my dad was having an awesome time. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know that it's just about the sex thing.

I think it's just, it's weird to imagine, you know, that you're, but it's hard if you don't have divorced parents. Yeah, I can't. Yeah. So Dan is, Dan is on the road headed out. His first stop today will be where? How far do you think you'll make it on the road today before you are done for the day? It's 1137 central time.

My goal is Birmingham, Alabama. Okay. Just because it's kind of a major city on the way to Clemson. But if I get there, I should get there around six or seven-ish, and that might be just too early to call it, you know? Yeah. But I just don't want to, I don't know. I don't want to drive too long, you know, I don't know if you do know.

Some people are like, I got to, I'll drive 14 straight hours. Yeah, grim. I would, right, I would rather just drive. I have to. You don't have to tell us you're a pussy. Did you have to pick up? Did you ask Graham if he would drive you? Well, I should have.

Dude, I swear, I swear back when Followell used to do like a crazy schedule. I mean, probably doesn't do this level of, he would have somebody drive him from like Dallas on a Friday night Mavs game to a big 12 game Saturday, drive him back. And, I mean, he would press. and do it so Dan may not be far off. This is a driverless car stitch, though. Have you heard this Craig, Craig Way story? So Craig does all, like, he does every Texas sport. If he can do a women's basketball game and a men's basketball game and a baseball game,

and three consecutive days he'll do it. And he also does the high school stuff. Yeah. And so one weekend he was going everywhere around Texas, and he had a flat in some small town, wherever central Texas. he called the head football coach in that town, asked him if he could get some help. Of course.

The coach came and changed his tire and got Craig Wade back on the road. You have to. You have to. He's at the engine of this thing. Yeah. Is he like your leader? I mean, yeah.

Status of like accomplishments, yeah. Just, yeah. But like you would like your career to be shaped right after Craig Ways. It's like me say, like Bill Simmons is a leader of mine, but I don't. enjoy his work at all type thing i'm not saying blake doesn't like craig way but just from a what you

build your own empire of how you did it Craig seems yeah pretty nice little slot into the the sports system no and i told you i had my first trifecta last season where i could i did high school college pro in the same weekend and that just was very exciting for me just the grind the getting yeah the time management and so yeah i i respect the hell out of craig that's a craigian achievement. For sure. So yeah, let's say you pull up at six or seven, Birmingham. That's the issue is you don't know if, well, I mean, once you get to Birmingham, you owe it to yourself to stop. Well, let's settle. He's not driving until seven o'clock. Dinner's at 5.30.

Uh, oh, I can drive and eat. In fact, so I just, I stopped at a subway to get into the bathroom. No way. Why? That's a bad choice. They have bad bathrooms. I mean, that's a very mid to low-end bathroom. You can do better. F-tier bathroom. I was in a remote-ish area, and we were about to start the show, and I knew I had to go to the bathroom. That's why I was late.

Maybe you come out to the Dumb Zone generic summer event. If you're one of the first 69 people there, you'll score yourself a community mechanical-sponsored, me-signed piss bottle for your car. That's a great idea. I should have got one in advance. But no, so do you guys feel an obligation to, so I did buy, I bought it chips. Absolutely not.

Yeah, you have. You don't? Yes, you have. I was in there, I'm going to the bathroom, in their dingy bathroom and thinking of all the subway, all the times over the years that I've been made fun of for going to subway, right? like if anyone deserves to just use the bathroom and walk out it's me yeah i uh i've supported uh the subway you know the whole thing about the kids and the spokesman i'm i'm able to look past that and see the right sandwich from the the pedophile as they say so i i agree with this sort of on premise the problem is you're at a subway so i wouldn't run into this because of a truck stop or a big i'm

looking for your big ass maybe not buckies but flying jay anytime i can put a little coin in jimmy has him's pocket i do that um quick quick trip is like the the gas station version of a truck stop like i'll do that great bathroom you don't have to buy anything there right you don't feel an obligation capitalistically there okay but if you are giant and nobody would know right right but if i am at the subway i'm thinking to myself i've eaten here in your corporate uh umbrella many times without taking a piss. I have credits built up. And I'll tell you something else. You don't give me a little extra meat when I say no vegetables. And I know those vegetables aren't as expensive as the meat, but they still cost money. And I let you keep them every time. I'm a

easy customer. I'm going in and I'm coming out. Yeah, but that's for like subway proper. You care about the guy behind the counter who's going to eyeball you walking out without buying anything. Well, I'm not going in there and doing blippy Harlem shake, like spraying diarrhea everywhere. No, but he doesn't know that. He doesn't know your priors with Subway, and he doesn't know what you did behind closed doors.

Just buy some chips or a water. Make him feel good. Hit the 10% button and go about your day. You know, I was thinking of buying water, and I was thinking to that when I left, and so I ended up grabbing off the shelf of my garage, a 24 pack of

water. Nice. Because like I'm on the road. Like I was thinking, you know how much it costs to buy water at gas stations along the way? Yeah. It's like, wait. Wait, I'm on the road. I can bring anything, which is why also a very last second development, I grabbed the pillow. You remember the controversy because I lost my last pillow that I loved at our Airbnb in Austin.

Oh, yeah. You didn't ask them to mail it to you? I thought he did. not. I told him he didn't have to worry about mailing a pillow. I wanted him to, but I didn't want to tell him to. You probably made the right call there. Yeah, no. Ben's a good dude. So, no, but I got a new pillow. In fact, I bought a new pillow for like 30 bucks or something, you know, whatever, the nice pillow at, the coals, the nice pillow at Coles. I was going to say, 30 feels like a low pillow price for something that you spend that much time on.

It sucked. It's too puffy. It felt like a hotel pillow. And so I went to Target. I found the bin that said $2.99 or $3. Whatever. The cheapest, flattest pillow you can get. And I have that. And that's why I'm thinking I could take it on the road if I lose it, whatever. Like, I love the just a no, no puff in the pillow. I feel like the pillow is something that it's like brushing your teeth or something. There may be pillows I don't even know. I don't know what you all. pillows are like. Maybe you have pillows. I don't even know about it, but if I weren't at your house. I have a side sleeper pillow. What is that? It like caves in in the middle so that my head aligns perfectly with my spine. Okay, so you have, so it's long. Because I just kind of take another pillow and use it as a body pillow. You do a body pillow? Not really, it's not a body pillow, but I hold it, you know, like, um, like I, like I need to cuddle something. Like he misses his wife. Sometimes, yeah.

I like to have my arm on something. Yeah, I get that too. Did you get a pillowcase made with a picture of her on it and stuff? Yeah. He sprays her perfume on it. Yeah, that's the pillow I got. Picture of your wife. This just in my trunk.

Ted Turner died. Did you see that? Yeah, I did. A little bit before the show started. What, he busted up about it or something? Kind of. The guy who gave the green light to burn notice or, boy, I bet Blake was watching all kinds of USA and TNT drama. Oh, man, what was the one on USA?

I know USA's not Ted Turner, but it profiles TNT TBS. Monk? Oh, I didn't like Monk. God, what was it? Rosoli and Isles? He was some detectives. No, it was back in the... Franklin and Bash?

Well, in any case. He drove a convertible or something. I once stood three feet away. from Ted Turner and Jane Fonda. That's my whole story. He was tapping that. They were married or what? Tell us what you know about Ted Turner.

I'm not sure if they were married. I'm not positive if he was tapping that. But he probably was. Yeah. No, they were hooked up when the Indians played the Braves in the World Series one year. Yeah. And I got to cover it. Was that 96 or 98?

What do you think? It was way earlier than that. Five six-ish, I think. Am I high? No, no, I don't think you are. I just, I played a lot of triple-play baseball in those days, so it was very familiar with those rosters. Yeah, I was in the bowels of Jacobsfield,

covering the team. Well, Ted Turner, that's a guy who might be alive today, had he gone to one of 12 DFW locations and visited Game Day Men's Health. our studio sponsor. It's where I get my peptides. It's where I get my TRT. It all starts just going and getting a simple blood test.

And then, you know, talk to them about what you're experiencing. And, you know, be honest with them. Like, you'd be honest with a therapist. Like, I'm feeling a little bit down in the evenings, or I have trouble getting motivated, or might have brain fog on this or that. These are things that they can help you with. It's not just testosterone.

The peptides are definitely something that applies, across your life, right? Like sleep, it helps you recover from injury. It helps your muscles feel better. You will frankly just look better because you'll be healthier. You may. You may interject. Like you're telling a lot of good info, but I'm in the video will look weird, Clayton, because I'm looking at my phone. Nate Moore from Silverback Construction. He said like his home base is Mansfield, where we called the other day, Alyssa. Do you guys remember Alyssa? I do.

Anyway. So people are going into the Mansfield location just to get a picture taken with Alyssa. That's awesome. Like that's the report. The report from the Mansfield location. Well, that location is, again, it's on Broad Street or if you want to tip yourself off, Broad Street across from Mansfield High School. But they've got location near you.

So check them out at. Game Day.dumzone.com. It is Game Day men's health. Game Day.com. The show I'd watch on USA was Nash Bridges. Oh, my gosh, God, man. The Cheech Marin and... Yeah, he drove a convertible.

It was great. That's fun. All right, so we will have people in here for most of the time that Dan is gone. And we, in fact, intended to have someone in here today with Dan gone. But we He schedules get mixed up

It's okay But we've got a lot of stuff that we can get to today And it starts with some sports Damn, that's fun From the wonderful world of sports Radio sports Oh yeah, I like that Okay, so now we know the delay

It's not bad No, no bad Oh I thought that's what you were doing for us Is the delay going to get worse the further east he gets from us. Is that how it works? Why? Why would that be the case? He's getting closer to China. They have better internet.

But they have bad air. Just keep going. Bad air, that is true. We had a spectacle in Mavsland yesterday as Patrick Dumont and Gina Miller set with former Toronto Raptors executive, Masai Ujiri, and announced him. as the new czar of basketball and alternate governor, which I have more questions about that term. But this is now the Messiah Ujiri show.

And I don't know how important it is right now to really get too much into his background. We can determine if we want to do that because I think we need to kind of lay the ground rules for how we want to talk about this first. But if you're not a basketball fan or you're kind of a casual, I will just tell you, like we said,

the other day. There was probably a decade period where I was as interested or plugged in in what people thought about different NBA topics as you could have gotten without being like a beat reporter. And the list of dream GMs for any franchise, you didn't get to two or three before you got to Masai Ujiri. I'm not saying that's legitimate or not. I'm telling you what the perception was. The perception was if you think about any of these guys in the NFL right now or in the NBA that are John Schneider, John Lynch, or in the NBA Sam Presti, or Bob Myers when he was with the Warriors,

Maasai was mentioned as one of the hot shot named GMs. So take it for what it's worth. So is that all because of just the trade for Kauai and winning one title in Toronto? No, I would say you have it entirely backwards. That is the 90-10 flip, because the hard, hard, hard, hard work is building a roster in a small market. The incredibly improbable thing is that you luck into a star that's on a one-year situation

that your city's probably not going to care if you go get him any leaves. Not care, but they're really not expecting them to stay. You're taking the gamble of putting that guy on a roster that you built out with draft picks. and typically not high draft picks. I mean, he comes from NBA scouting, from the NBA international scouting world, from NBA Africa, came up with Kiki Vandeway and Doni.

And so he's a scout draft developed guy. The Kauai thing a lot of people know about because it worked and they won a title, but I would say had that not even happened, he was thought of as a guy who was capable of development before that happened. I've also heard before that Denver's on his resume. Was he involved in Yokic?

No, he was involved in Carmelo. Oh. Yeah. Okay. But we, I think we'll get into that all at some point. We have time. But that's kind of my first thought, is just I hear this news. You take it in, you sit with it for a couple days,

and you're thinking, how does this change how I care about this or not? and it probably starts with what is Jason kids role in this, if you ask me. Because if we talk about the pieces that are going to move and aren't going to move, Dumont feels immovable. I don't know what degree Michael Finley was involved, but I don't know that he would have been able to be involved enough to stop it, right? So it's almost negligible. So you're really only talking about kid.

And it sounds to me, Dan, like Jason Kidd's days here are numbered. I don't think any of besides answers were all that helpful. It was just I've talked to the coach, or I will talk to the coach. I'll talk to Coach Jason Kidd. He kept calling him Jason Kidd. Better than Jake Kidd. Yeah. And basically, this is what we were saying the other day.

before I even heard this press conference, there's no way. There's just no way that Kid can work with another guy who's going to be fully strong manning in charge. You can't have two dudes who think they're super alpha in charge in there. It didn't even really work when they would try to have

Donnie Nelson and Gerson Roses or some it's already hard enough to have guys coexist like that as we saw with Nico and Cuban and that whole situation. Haralobabob. kid is this is not going to sit well with kid and I've heard that kid has been

politicking for well a couple different things Tim McMahon said on the hoop collective this morning that kid had been making plays to become the president of the team for months now and that ownership had rebuffed those advances

and like repeatedly told him it's not going to be you so that's already on the books as far as the relationship goes now I've also heard from a bunch of different people that, you know, these could be are seen online, complete rumors, but it's Jason Kidd. He's always putting out feelers for, you know, other situations. So you add in a guy in Masay Ujiri who is reputationalally huge and I don't think

is coming here to relinquish any of that power and reputation. And furthermore, I think Dumont only went and got him because he knows this is a name to be. people who care about it. And the guy speaks very authoritatively. So if you want, Dan, we can dive into a little bit of this. And I can introduce you to him. But here's the problem. The main problem at the core of it for me is that I still have to hear Patrick Dumont talk. And he, do you guys have us, Dan? I can't tell him. Okay. I have you. Keep him on screen. I've had you the whole time.

Okay. You're just cutting out a little bit. I've had you the whole time. All right. I'm going to play you a little bit of Dumont introing it here. And then we might not even get past that point. You may never hear from Messiah Ujiri today because you may wreck your car at having to hear the voice of Patrick Dumont. So without further ado, I'm going to toss it over to you, Patrick.

Thanks very much. Messiah is here. Is that him clapping? Yes, dude. He started to clap. And a couple of people sent this to me. he claps like the monkey with the symbols and the crazy eyes like he's a big guy and he's like straight and his hands are the same at the same point yes there's hands are the

and he's the only one clapping and i can't totally tell if he's trying to do a messiah thing yeah that's what i thought it is obviously very fitting that the fellow's name is messai and the mavericks are in need of a situation one might describe as a savior or a messiah but you can't just blurt that out and start clapping. Not only is he the first one to clap, he claps louder, and he also claps too long. He's a too long clapper, is what I'm telling you.

Well, and he's also, this is a press conference, right? It's the media. Right. You're not, they're not supposed to... Right, fans? I didn't even think of that. It's not a pep rally. Right. Like, am I going to clap when, yeah, it's ridiculous. Boy, and just think about Gina, she's like, okay.

I guess she's been around so many people, like people who know what they're doing. Well, yeah, and he obviously does not. But like you said, if you talk to people around the league, they're going to give you four or five names. Like, these are hot names. Like, no guy is too big. So that's why he's learned who Sam Presti is or whatever, right? Or, you know, he's just learned names.

And he's got a lot of people who said this one's good. So he thought, I'm going to say this name and people are going to go effing nuts. that's all it's going to take. Thanks very much. Messiah is here. This is a big day for the Dallas Mavericks. I'd like to thank Messiah. I'd like to thank his family.

We're here with us today. This is a historic moment for our franchise. Messiah is a leader with experience, with vision. How do you think it's going so far? You guys enthralled? Terrible. No GM hires should ever be referred to. you as a historic moment for the franchise.

Don't you think? Well, let me skip ahead to another. I'll come back to that, but he made a comment later in the press conference that I thought was very interesting. And we wanted to make sure that it was the right situation for both of us. And I really appreciate his candor. We had a lot of very difficult conversations. A lot has gone on with the Mavericks the last couple years.

And we really needed to talk about it and cover it. Yeah, that's your fault. I just would avoid saying things like that. Yeah. Yeah. It's weird. Like a lot has gone on. But yeah, whether historic.

It's funny because this, this idiot who's at the helm and you can't, you can't spell Dumont without dumb, right? Have we ever thought of this bit? But this idiot. Right. Right. Right. Yeah.

This is no good. It's no good. why don't we just proceed without him for a minute? With great charity for the communities in which he lives and operates, he's known to do great charitable works in Africa, he's known to recruit great players worldwide, and he has a championship pedigree, and he's now in the Dallas Mavericks family.

So with that, I'd like to turn over to Maverick. Okay. So, I can't get over alternate governor. Yeah, I'm really confused by it. I'd like to know more. I didn't hear the last three or four minutes of the press conference, but I will confirm that nobody asked about that. But nobody asked about it in the part that I heard.

Because alternate uniforms, alternate whatever, typically means black, right? Mavs alternate uniforms are black. Any teams alternate uniforms are typically black. I was not making that conclusion at all. Wow. No, because I don't think of alternates as black. That's funny. You're probably right.

You're probably right, but in like the back of the East Bay catalog, it was always just a, it was always a dark color. Like they would flip your main color dark, but I'm confused by it because what does it mean? We heard that when he was in the mix for the job before, when they hired Nico, that he had inquired about an ownership stake. And that that, I guess, didn't come to pass. And that's why one of the reasons he didn't get the job. what does alternating governor mean because i don't want to alternate the quarters in which you pay me dividends doesn't owner mean you get paid money as owning the business and what what what point is there in being in the governor role as the which was we're just calling

that's what owners are now why would you be that if you don't get the ownership profit I'm confused by that setup entirely. Is it who the team and their voice at owner meetings? And Mont has a lot of other stuff going on. And he's like, okay, sometimes I'm going to need this guy to be our voice. Yes. And that probably is a good thing for Maasai. A good role for him is he's definitely, you know, tentacles all over the place,

league guy. But what's in it for him to do that? It better be a huge bag because the owner goes and does that stuff and gets paid tons and tons of money representing the team. I don't know. I just hope the guy's bending them over because the only way for this to work is for me to never hear from Dumont. Right? It's got to be just the must. It's got to be all about this guy.

Whether it works, whether it doesn't, whether you like him, whether you don't. It's got to be all about him with a sprinkling of Dirk and then obviously the players. because this is this is it's tough to listen to for me i get mad listening to him i get upset i get i just i'll be right i get pissed off no he's tried to somehow they've tried to make it now that oh it was all nico yeah and they're also trying to make it about it was all lucca it wasn't even all lucca it was that they really fully like buried our identity now we were very lucky for a long time to have the Mavericks be a thing, you know, because the vibe was, was unique and it was different from Cuban to the Nelsons to Dirk, to Luca, to all of, it was just different. It was weird.

And I think an identity, you know, think of like the Buffalo Bills fan. I think that's an important part of being interested in sports and fandom. And they just buried that. It wasn't just that they trade Luca. Now we know that was the final piece. They had been rooting out all of the holdovers from, and you know, of course, in retrospect, like, yeah, that's going to happen. They're going to want their own people in there. You just never think you're going to go far enough to go that far and do it. But it's, I definitely think they try to minimize it. And maybe that's what they have to do. So if you want to get to the meat of this, there is some funny stuff in here. but there's really one answer in particular

that he gave regarding Luca and we can break this one down if you like this is pretty early on in the press conference and it's long would you like to uh I don't want to program the show but you want to slip in a quick sponsor before we get to that because I do think it's the this is the top audio I want to hear

and I have a clock in my head about the sponsor times yeah yours is probably a little bit better than mine You know what? You can just set it and forget it like your Dan McDowell with Ownwell. You sign up in just a few minutes at Ownwell.com slash the dumb zone and you are set every single time your property taxes need to be assessed. They'll let you know. They'll appeal the value for you. They've done this for me twice now.

They saved me a considerable amount of money both times. I'm certainly not alone. Probably the most amount of feedback, certainly the most amount of money saved in some from our audience. ownwell.com slash the dumb zone. I heard from a guy just the other day who's done like Blake's done, saving money on his cable bill, I think. So this is very easy to do. You only pay them if they save you.

And the money that they take, the percentage is lower than the industry standard. So I don't know, there's very few risk-free type things you can do in life. And this is one of them. Now I'm going to give you the disclaimer. Yeah, no, I don't know. Good people over there.

Very good people. Yes, this is the question regarding the lucca trade. Musai, welcome to Texas. Thank you. You just said, I'd like to bring calm. I wonder how much it's on your mind if there's still a healing process going on with the lucreate with this organization, or is that something that's not really on your mind since you had nothing to do with it and now it's at least been a little while? First of all, let's not answer the question for him in three ways.

ask the question and let him answer, but sorry. No, no, you're fine. I also think there, you can barely hear it, but I believe what's actually happening is that they are lining up who the next questions are going to be. It sounds like Gina's saying

we'll go there, then there, but that's a very long pause. And there was one other time in the press conference also where Maasai jumped in and said like, it's okay, it's okay, I'll answer it. So to me, this was a long pause. You had nothing to do with it and out. been a little while.

There's, you know, I want to be very respectful to everybody here. And yes, there's a healing process with that. Look at the Hall of Famer, future Hall of Famer. And that's the past. I always say in Africa, we say when kings go, kings come. And a king went, and we have a little prince here, now we're going to turn into a king. Yeah, and I think we have to start thinking that way, like here.

I understand what we've gone through. But I hope we can figure out how we reset as an organization, with the fans, everybody in the community, and we start to think of it that way, and start to think of how we move on. you know, from this. And really think about what we have inside us, come together and go win.

Yes, there's no other way to do this than winning. Yes, and bringing all the players together, finding the right players. We have the draft. We have free agency. We have so many things. We have young players on our team. How do you feel it's going so far, Dan?

Well, I think he's avoiding the question, and I don't like it at all. What he's doing, though, is... It kind of sounded like he was referring to DeMont when he's like, you know, I don't want to offend anyone here. Like, he's like, this is the guy that did this. And yeah, I'm being brought in because of this. I wish, or you want to play the whole thing?

And then I'll say what I wish he would have responded with. We have to now start focusing on this. We can't cry forever. That's the part that I was going to say is it's interesting. because I think when you're an English, maybe second, third, he might speak six languages. I think your general message actually comes through much more clearly because you don't have all the bullshit speak that American business people have been taught and all of us have. It's just very much to the point.

And I think it lands because of that. But I also think that maybe sometimes it runs into this, to me, this is just pretty harsh to say to fans. We have to now start focusing on this. We can't cry forever. And I know there has to be a healing process here. We've gone through that a little bit, but we have something shiny here. And we're going to win. We're going to win here in Dallas.

We're going to go to... Yeah, that's enough. No, I don't like hearing him say that at all. But I think it's probably partially just the way he speaks. But in general, you're right. Everything he said was, I want to be respectful to what happened and to the people here and all that means is the only way

this is going to work. There's not a scenario where I'm here and I can sit down and be like yeah is this dumb fuck's fault. This guy right here. The guy who's paying me, it was his fault. If you want a guy in here who's going to be in charge, the only way to do it is that Dumont hired him. So if Dumont

hires the guy, he can't turn around and say this guy sucks. This is the best you can do. I kind of want him to say like that's why I'm here. I'm here because this Luca trade happened. Acknowledged that it was like the worst thing ever, but that this is a very, you know, this opportunity, though, to start with a, you know, franchise type player and build around him, very fired up about that.

I don't need to hear him tell me to not cry. I'm going to keep crying, you know, and I don't want to, don't tell me what they, the sayings in Africa are, because I don't know that Africa is the nation that, uh, you want to hold up is what yeah not a nation although i guess like in a conceptual sense you know what i mean um i would say to be to be frank with you and not to be woke or to be uh not helping you out here i think africa global leader in parables and passages and passing on simple wisdom that just culturally right like acuna mat i mean whatever we've got these these passages are known no one's trying to be more like africa's if that's what you're saying i don't know no one's no one's walking around going

you know what um like they say in arkansas or so well i guess jerry is uh my bed it's just it's going to be hard for anyone stepping into this because it's such an emotional thing and yeah right his english is not his first language he doesn't it Any quant or anything, making logical, yeah, winning would help, but it's not going to bring fans back. The damage is done. No, it's not so much to me just about winning. And I really want to make that point. But that's what he's making it out to be.

I think it's about having a way, just getting an identity, building a team, what are they going to be? What kind of team are you going to be? And I'm probably going to at least, this does up my interest level. For sure. Candidly. Yeah, but them. losing and being a sucky team this year helped. But even if they were great, I still wouldn't watch.

It's not because they stink. No, but now we are further away from people who are involved in this. And the stronger of a presence that they hire in this role, the less of this effing guy we will ever have to deal with. That's why I was worried about... Until he's needed a trophy. Okay, but, and that may be, look, we may have to cross that bridge when we get there. I'm not fully committing to anything.

But what I'm saying, though, is when you thought you might be hiring Finley or Ricardy or some combination of an internal hire or really probably anybody but about four or five guys alive, I would have been worried that they were going to get bullied by Dumont. Dumont's not going to bully this guy ever. In fact, I think what we might have here is just the reverse of, obviously Dumont has no feel for personal dynamics and how to put people in the right place to succeed. Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed Nico to snake him like he did and get the level of power he did and root out good people. Does he actually think that this guy can work with Jason Kidd? You'd have to be so socially inept. And the only type of person I could think who could do that would be Patrick Dumont. Kids going to quit. They're going to mutually part ways. And this dude is going to do what Nico did and assume power and take over this

organization, the difference is he's a Hall of Fame executive. This is the best case scenario for getting Dumont out of the way. Other than, you know, I don't know, him selling the team. Don't laugh, Clay. There's no way I was going to say what you think I was going to say. No way. Although he did mention that they had a five-hour lunch. The process in which he followed an incredible process,

of meetings, phone calls, a five-hour lunch. Five-hour lunches, Dan. Only in the NBA. And when you meet with Gordon. But they mentioned... And pre-draft visits with a certain head coach. Oh, that's right. And shoddy.

That was the other one I was thinking that we were roping in there. Definitely. He's an NBA-type socializer. But I want... Well, I was just going to say real quick. they mentioned that their lunch ended when Dumont's security tapped him and we're like, hey, people are looking

for you? You've been gone a long time. So he's got his body... Not we're out of quarters for the parking meter. Sorry. I still go back to the... You can't cry about this forever.

Rick Welts, same thing, right? He kind of did that. Like, hey, we lost a freaking who... wasn't there. Yeah, but Rick Welts was there, though. No, yeah, Rick Welts was there. I mean, I talked to him the week before.

He could have, I don't know that he could have done anything about it, but. No, but he was kind of like, who did they lose? Monta Ellis. Oh, you're saying back of the day, yeah, yeah, that he was making that comparison. Yeah, yeah. Then Rick Welts comes out saying, hey, we can't cry forever, folk. You can't say that. You can't tell, you can't stick your finger in the chest of the fans and say,

I'm telling you now how to feel about this. You can just do. You know, build a winner, say that do the right things. Don't just do what you think is the right. Like that's Patrick DeMine. I'm going to do this because I think this will PR-wise be the thing to do. But he doesn't have any actual belief on what he's doing. He's about as empty as it gets.

Unlike our friends at Community Mechanical, Community Deer's. They were just out at my house yesterday doing the preventative maintenance. So I signed up for the PM quite some time ago. And now they just show up every six months or so. They cleaned off the they took the hose to the outdoor HVAC units and got a lot of the mud daubbers out of there. You'll be happy to know, Jake. Murder dobs. Yeah.

But we're set for the summer now. Nice. I've got my preventative maintenance scheduled in just a couple of weeks. They hit me up about that, and they'll hit you up about it multiple times to make sure that you are prepared. They're going to stay on you because they know it matters. They want to actually prevent problems with your unit. Let them do it. You know what else they've done?

They have made our DZGSE air conditioned this year. Wow. It's true. All the years past, every year we've ever done this, it's been very hot, but not. This year, thanks to community mechanical. Community mechanical, Travis and the team real cool. You don't want your house to explode. Don't be a bitch, so pick up the phone.

Dan almost died. Yeah, the thing with Dumont is you just need as little him as possible. And as I try to wrap my head around this, strong executive at the top is the only way you're going to get it. We can't, we're not going to get the flare of the old days, back. They're not all that whole identity, the whole thing, the whole Euro-influenced thing, it's gone. This is different and it's going to be different. And this is probably the best version of how it could be different. Do you think the identity used to really, am I on? Did you,

do you think the identity used to be Cuban? No, it's bigger than, it was bigger than that. That's what I'm saying. I think the identity goes back to, I think Cuban was interested. in this team. But I think when Cuban got involved, if Cuban were Cuban, but he never hired Nelly, I don't know. And then the international scouting

that the Nelsons were known for. And then the fact that they get Dirk, and then that breeds more of that. I just think they were a distinctly unique team and organization for decades. And that's not going to be here anymore. And on top of that, it got replaced by the most slap-dick, non-ball-knowing ownership possibility, fathomable.

And that's saying a lot because you see stories all over the country, all over the world of people who are buying sports teams who don't know what they're doing it for or why. even simply to make money. They seem to struggle to optimize that because certainly you're not trading Luca if your goal is to make as much money as possible. So given that state of play, Maasai's about as good as you're going to get. So he made a point that he took this job

a big part of it, obviously was Cooper Flagg, you know, just saying, hey, this is very hard to do. And he knows as well as anyone. You can do it really well and not win unless you have one of the guys. So he got one of the guys. I thought this was a little bit of an interesting introduction to how he goes about things. Listen, I hope to bring calm. I hope to bring to this to this place.

Winning. Yes, we want to get back to winning. This is a winning organization. We want to get back to that. and I know the fan base wants that. I know the organization wants that. I know leadership wants that. I know the NBA wants that. And I'm hoping, you know, and I'm praying.

Do you think you should say that when everyone thinks that they rigged the draft for you? But again, and I'm not to harp on his language situation, I think you might not say that as plainly if you were an English first speaker because what he's saying is true. He knows that the NBA wants the Mavericks to be good. He's probably heard someone say before. It's really actually better if the Mavericks are good. And he knows that this is a, you know, this is not, he's not in Cleveland.

And I'm hoping, you know, and I'm praying. And that's to tell you guys that I'm here. And I know that winning is my drive. and winning is going to be the drive of this organization. So thank you. Thank you for everybody being here. I'm here. It feels like he knows he's being treated as a Messiah also.

And I definitely don't think that this guy's a, he doesn't scan as a Jason Kidd level, you know, I guess reported backstabber. But he's not a wallflower. Like he didn't get here by being some guy. who sits back. He's an aggressive executive. He'll make it about him.

Imagine the leverage he had negotiating here with Dumont. This is what I've really, like all the other names. Kind of want to know. All the other names on the Dumont list were like guys who weren't really available, right? Yeah. Or it was sort of like, why would they, you know? And Maasai, very rarely type deal where a guy of that level who's

not 70 is going to be available. Let's see here. We can play, oh, here's a little bit of a big go. To come to this storied organization, the Dallas Mavericks,

come back to the NBA. It's been, it's a blessing, and I'm honored and humbled. Oh. So, to a set of a organization, The jokes, really, if you look at the history of the NBA, right?

Didn't they have a whole decade of like the worst team in all of sports? Yeah, but then they also won the second most games in the regular season over like a 23-year period. So why don't you, I don't know. I guess he showed a little bit of respect. Came from Toronto, so possibly. No, again, the second most regular season, I mean a dominant era of basketball arguably had the best player of the era on their team in Dirk Novitsky, but, you know, because Kobe Bryant scored a lot of points.

Anyways. Won some titles. Why was, why was he gone for a year? Why did he leave Toronto? You're going to get a bunch of different stories on that, but it sounds to me like it was just kind of a, it was the end of the line. You know, you kind of like it was with Donnie here,

where personality, run into each other and now you're doing more of or like jd was here remember it just kept it's like oh he's still here but he's doing less he's doing less he's doing a little less he's doing and then eventually it was just you know he's got kids does the year driving the kids around and doing charity stuff and it's like oh that was great i'll do that never again i did that for one year i'm going back to work you know how it is you just wear thin at a job he was there a long time I don't know how that. I didn't mean that actually.

That came off poorly. I did not actually, you know. I'm struggling with his connection. What do you guys think we should do? He can try turning his video off and just do audio. Yeah, I think we should do that. If you at least try it as a first attempt. All right.

It's hard to know who to talk to. Okay, let's see. What else do we want to do here? Oh, I thought this was... Did you hear me? Yeah. Do you want to try talking for a second and see if it sounds okay or what should we do? Yes, I'm sorry.

We are, I don't know what, where am I? Am I in Arkansas? It sounds like you're in Louisiana. It sounds like Louisiana. Okay. If you wanted to draw any conclusions about whether or not Masay Ujiri is actually capable of being an effective executive, though, I thought this display in the first couple minutes was pretty disgusting, lack of control. I know. Sorry to my son. He wants me to carry him on my head, which I always do, and I can't do it right now. I can't.

I know, I know. You want to sit here? Come on. Come on. Come sit here. I know. Kid got spooked by Dumont. He saw the grimace. Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Yeah. We heard you yell. Can you hear me? All right. What in the hell are we doing? How about this? You know, when he won't ask you to carry him on his head?

If he's not there with you. Right. Why? Why is he there with you? He's a family man, Dan. Look at him. Here's proof of it. Here's proof of it.

He's just like you. I made this with my man seed. But then the kid has to talk to, it has to sit with Dumas. Come here. Come here. Oh, like he's going to help. Yeah. He wants me to carry him on.

my head, which I always do, and I can't do it right now. I can't. I know. I know. You want to sit here? Come on. Thanks, grimace.

Right. Take me under a bridge and eat me. Of course, playing this just for Dan. Boy, messing up my game, man. Is he... Is he calling a little like a dog? Yeah, kind of.

But I thought this was My performative antenna at least went up A little bit, right? Like we were already not going to be critical. It's Missai Ujiri. You got it. You opened my eyes to rich people having fake teeth. Yeah.

Does the overwhelming population of the rich have nannies? Well, yeah. I mean, at some level, I think. for sure. So is he not doing a lot of parenting? He's not home. Nanny's always around. I would imagine that if you take a year off,

you probably say, hey, we're letting her do less or we're not having a nanny for that year. I could see a situation. I actually believe it when he says, I drove, when an athlete or when Mike McCarthy or whatever

says, I took a year off and I drove the kids to her from school every day. I believe that. Yeah. But I don't believe they did everything else. I think they did just that. Right.

And I don't think they're doing that anymore. So isn't it, isn't it funny how they say that with the, they're saying that so that you can attach a hero label to this guy that, oh, my God. I know. Look at him. Drove his kid to school, even though he makes $4 million a year. That's a guy. That's, he loves his kid.

Yeah. You're doing the most basic thing. you're actually spending time with your family for once in your life. And everybody's like, oh, that's so awesome. Look at him. Dude, how about this, though? It's a girl. He even still.

He cares about the girl that well, yeah. Yeah. Well, hero. Crazy. I know. Let's see. Was there anything else who wanted to play? Oh, thank you.

Thank you, Patrick. I'm sorry about that. Really sorry. Thank you. Okay, so. No, you're not. It was all part of the act. I think it might have been, the more I think about it.

I think the kid was installed as a prop, and I don't care. Wasn't even his kid. Not even his kid. All right. Do we have any other sports? Let's do some other sports here. Let's go over to, let's go over to Shottie. And let's say that our sports transition is brought to us by Qualis.

Qualis is a presenting sponsor of the Dumb Zone generic summer event. they were out there last year. They've been helping our listeners for a very long time. They've been helping us for a very long time. Have them come out and inspect your roof. It's free. It's no harm, no foul. Insurance company says you get that done twice a year. That's quite a bit for most people, but you might not have had it done like ever or in several years. Have them do it at Qualis.

Qua also take good care of you too They're fly by day, not fly by night, all right? It's qualusgc.com. Quick audible. Let's take a bathroom break. I still want to play this, though. I moved on her, actually. You know, she was on Palm Beach.

I moved on her, and I failed. I'll admit it. I did try and fuck her. She was married. It's huge news there. No, no, Nancy. No, this was. And I moved on her very heavily.

In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, I'll show you where they have some nice furniture. I took her a girlfriend. I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn't get there. And she was married. And all of a sudden, I see her, she's now got the big phony tints and everything. She's totally changed her look.

She's your girl's hot as shit. In the purple. Whoa. Whoa. Yes. The Donald scored. Whoa. Oh, my man.

Wait, wait, you got to look at you when you get out of your life. You get this up. That is very. You give me the thumbs up. You are a thing. You got to put the thumbs up. You got to get the thumbs up. Can't be too happy.

Could you get anybody else off first? Yeah, that's it. With a gold, I gotta use some tic-tacks just in case I start kissing her. You know, I'm automatically attracted to beautiful. I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. I just kidding. I don't need to wait.

And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Whatever you want. Grab them by the pussy. I can do anything. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. I think it's kind of underreported that Billy Bush is shocked by that comment. comment. He's like,

I think he's a big fan of it. No, I think he loves it. But I think like, geez, whoa, that's a line you don't just hear every day. Jeez, your girls, a lot of shit. So, shit. Well, we would like to welcome you out to the Dumb Zone generic

summer event. It will be taking place on 6-6 at 6 at 4 Corners, Brewery. June 6th. It's a Saturday night. We'll have big food from Conne Roso will have big music from

prophets and outlaws and Quaker City Nighthawks and we will have air conditioning courtesy of community mechanical they are our title sponsor this year. Presenting sponsors Quals Roofing, Silverback Construction how water will be out there with water

Fair lease will be out there the Frankles will be out there if you get hit with a Fair lease vehicle and shout out to Game Day men's health. Dan do you read us via audio Don't put his video up Yeah do you have me? I thought we were going to turn the video off

Oh you want the video off? Yeah Oh Keep it off He worked really hard on his outfit Yeah well I know It's very frustrating

But if all we have to kill Is the video to get a clean audio I'll do that all day long Okay Are we doing shoddy or no What do we want to do? We decided that since your connection was a little shoddy.

That we'd save that shoddyo and we would do some viewer mail and some Rangers. Just like quick Rangers, a little daily double. Blake's Rangers horny, he says. Do you know the Rangers rotation, Blake currently has the second best fielding independent pitching if you factor in the park? Now, I know that's a number that you're like, what? And their ERA is almost like two runs higher. Like this gets to the home splits and it gets to some bad luck and it gets to the relievers. But they still have, despite this run through the rotation right now where everybody at some point in their start just got destroyed,

they still have like a top two or three rotation in all of baseball. and they're slowly sinking below 500. Yeah, because they can't hit. Yeah. Nobody can hit. And last night is Jacob de Grom is getting shelled. Jake Berger can't hit or field. Josh Smith is a shell of himself.

The Rangers are sellers. That's where we are. Enjoy DeGrom. Enjoy Seeger for a little bit. Why on Earth? Would you buy for what you're watching every day right now? Don't you think you might be reacting to a little bit too much of a trip? Like, I know they're a bad, their best case scenario offensively is slightly above average.

So if that is your situation, you're going to have stretches where you are bad or average to a little bit below average. Yeah. And there's just everybody makes the playoffs, folks. But I don't know. I just think to give up on that rotation, when that is a hard fact. Now, they still have to play half their games at home, and that ain't helping.

For whatever reason. Maybe it's just it profiles poorly for their team because they're starting rotation, as we've said before. They do give up a lot of home runs. They're strikeout pitchers. Yeah. So maybe that's part of the problem, but I don't know. Should have thought of that.

It's probably an overreaction, and I think I understand. Also not turning any of your guys into home run hitters as much. No, yeah. You used to hate Mike McCarthy's offense because it was boring. And to some degree I understood it. Now I get it. Like when the Rangers win two to one, that's not fun. Watching all your guys just rollo and strike out, that's not fun.

These games aren't fun. Can I tell you one thing that I think fits into that? I know I complain a lot about the last. leverage point of baseball games and you watch you leave it all out there on the line for a couple foreign guys to come out here inside things um but it's just come up a lot in the last week it's it's hey we're going to cruise might maybe even be perfect through four or five and then just get leveled in the sixth or you're going to leave the game just in time and then whoever comes in is going to get beat up on but it's almost like back when you would watch baseball that was two one

3-2-1-0 sort of like in my teens really pre-posts. I'm thinking of like the Pedro Martinez days. It was awesome because he would go out there and just fuck shit up.

And he would just go eight or nine innings and it's like, well, that's what we're watching tonight. It doesn't feel the same when you get a five-inning game and three or four relievers then carry it for the rest from an entertainment value. Like you're missing the domination part of it. Yeah.

Well, because there's just something that feels dominant about the same guy being out there and saying, hey, I know you've seen this before. And it's stupid. Why? That's just, that's literally just machismo. The diminishing returns have arrived. You should be pulled from the game. But for some reason, the entertainment factor, for me, and it sounds like for you, too, Blake, hasn't really caught up.

Because I didn't mind watching low-scoring baseball games when there were just ACE's duels. Yeah, and I guess we just didn't have... I loved that. We didn't have a lot of that with the 2000, late 90s, 2000s Rangers. It was always higher scoring and you had characters and personalities, and it just, I don't know, it was a fun baseball watch. But now, I don't know. Because I was on board early in the season. I thought the chemistry is different.

Hey, look at Brandon Nimmo killing it. And it's fun to watch Jack Leiter and Kumar, but... They've had some good moments, dude. This stretch has been. been brutal. Brutal and not fun at all. It's been tough. They don't score any runs.

Their split right now is historic. You know, because it's particularly bad on the road. They're out on a road trip right now. So you're not bailing on me, though, are you? No, I'm not bailing. I did see this clip floating around because over the weekend, Peacock had a game. Had one of the Rangers games. Yeah.

And I thought what they did was awesome, where they had their play-by-play guy, and they took Bassick, the analyst for the Rangers, and they also took the Tigers analyst. And they did a three-man booth, and they had Anthony Rizzo, like, on the field. Wow. And it was a really cool broadcast. But they asked Anthony Rizzo, you know, you played in the global life field. Was there anything you noticed or whatever?

And he said, like, it's hard for a batter to watch film of himself at that ballpark because none of the camera angles are good. Hmm. And so I sent that to baseball people in the nose. Like, there's anything to this? And they said no, not really. And they did some immaculate grid to see maybe if there was a Texas Ranger that played with Anthony Rizzo.

And there is. And Mr. Peterson's ops right now is sub-600 when he's getting paid $40 million. Blaming the cameras? Yeah, yeah. That's awesome. But I don't know. I love the humans are just humans. I know.

How much success you've had. It's this part, man. Look at the cameras. You're texting your buddy about it. That's great. But yeah, even Seeger is off to a rough start. Yeah, now some of that, and I do want to stay on the peacock point for a minute. I watched the, when you see condensed games, they all feel like that.

But actually doing that on a real broadcast, that's the sort of thing that, you know, Dan has highlighted over the years of certain talk shows would let people. from other networks come on their show, and some wouldn't.

Just like I knew you were Hey everybody It's time to answer Some of today's viewer mail Wow Hey Dan, you have any viewer mail I do have a few little ones. Okay.

I have an interesting TV note from Corey. Corey. Who was talking about the program Friends and Neighbors. Mm-hmm. And he points out something that I was thinking about, and then I forgot to watch the credits, but they had, so Friends and Neighbors, John Hamm, Linda Cardalini is it? Not Cardinelli?

John Hogg. Yes. Does John Hamm have a hog? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Man, why? It's not fair. I know.

We need hot guys to have little tiny weeners. Anyhow. Corey says, you mentioned you're watching friends and neighbors. Maybe you mentioned this, but he says, Lindsey Sterling. Hey. Played at Ashes' Welcome to the Neighbor. neighborhood party. Wow. What a treat.

They had a, so yeah, they had some violinists back there, and I was like, I wonder if that's Lindy Sterling. And then I forgot to check. Something I did not notice, but he said was also playing that party, Mark Rubier. Wow. Wow. Yeah, he's, uh, he's probably been invited to a child sacrifice by now. What? Oh, yeah. Come on. You're out in that, you're, when you're in that scene, Look, I'm only 50-50 on Jorts. You spend enough time out there. Don't you think? What kind of money you think you make just to be on that show?

No, I don't think you make that much money to be on that show. I think it's more just like you're now the DJ to like the stars and you're the guy they have over it. These people are just doing parties at each other's house and you're like, hey, we'll get this guy, the DJ from your Hollywood party. Why don't we make him the DJ on this show? They probably have paid Lindsay Sterling to play privately at their home. Why not put it in the show? Honestly, dude, there's no way that I could get a good ballpark, but if we put it out there, somebody will tell us.

I bet you that to fly her out and get her to play. Our Christmas party. It would probably be 25 to 50 grand. I think that's great value. For what you're getting. I could be way, way off on that. Way, way off. this is a very interesting email to me

this comes to us from our friend Jefferson a couple of days ago we had our dear friend Dale Hansen in the hang zone on the dumb zone out at Emu Tom's house and part of that was Dan had some old audio of a report that Dale was doing back in his WFA days when he was the sports anchor

and George Reba was out in the field as a correspondent, and he was talking to Melissa Stark, new female reporter on Monday night football. It was very funny. There was a back and forth. So Jefferson has an exchange in person with George Reba. He says, Dear Mr. Intentionality of the Erogenous Zones

and Callie Sober accountability partner, hearing Dale Hanson, unplugged on the show on Friday with the boys was the equivalent of being treated to a modern-day Sunday night sports special roundtable. The exchange with Dale George Rebo when George was interviewing Melissa Stark and Washington had me rolling. So this guy goes to the gym in the morning and he sees George Reba. He sees him every Tuesday and Thursday at 8.30 a.m.

He's been seeing him for a while. No words have been exchanged before. But this time when they make eye contact, he walks up to him and he says, hey George, Dale wanted me to ask you how many. guys are on a football team. Awesome. I said with just a small trace of shake voice, referencing the punchline of Dale's joke there. And he said he was really into it. His warm smile quickly morphed into a face of confusion. How many guys are on a football team? He responded, 11. George, 25 years later, was quick on his feet, smooth and composed it as nice as could be

just as the haughty Hanson described him. He said they ended up talking for 20 minutes. minutes. He was the first person to tell him that Dale had brought this story up and that we had played it. So it ended with George Reba clutching his iPhone to his ear with the volume turned up high, listening to the dumb zone, laughing so hard that tears began to form in both of his eyes. Awesome. He said he didn't remember it first, but the longer the audio rolled, he could see the memory clicking. He said, Hansen, that SOB wiping tears from his eyes. I'm going to call him today. Thank you for sharing this with me. This made my day. Very cool.

And I responded to the guy and I was like, well, this better not be fake because it made my day too. Yeah. So. Stop thinking everything's fake. Still, like, it's kind of like if you found out that girl you were chatting with and DMs turned out to be a dude. Did you finish? It depends. If you've done it.

Was it good, you know, was it good? Was the dude? Did he say the right things? Did he type the right stuff, you know? Yeah. You felt good. You felt good. Let's just be happy. I don't know.

You actually felt good for once in your miserable life. I actually value the emails to the show more than I do my personal communication. Now that you put that out there like that, I really don't care if anybody that I'm talking. This matters, though, okay? These are emails. Yeah. I have a handsome one from Robert, who said, I've written in a few times. I've listened to literally every single episode of the Dumb Zone.

Who know? Dale is on the Mount Rushmore of Dumb Zone episodes. Wow. That was absolutely incredible. And you all knowing ball enough to lay out and let the man cook was so good. I'll take your cock out of my mouth and hang up and listen. Keep it in there. We love it.

That's from Robert. I've got one. Yeah. This says, Hey, Blake, I know the DZ isn't super into soccer. But the team Haralabob owns is in a position to be promoted to Spanish's first division. The standing series here, there are three points back of getting promoted.

He says if they do, they'll play in the same division as Real Madrid and Barcelona next season. That would be awesome. Yeah, he's, uh, somebody's going to write a book. I don't know how. I'm sure it's not like, it never happens, but moving that rapidly up from third to first anywhere in the continent.

I don't imagine it happens too often. Unless you're Ryan Reynolds? Yeah, like I said, I was going to, so I'm saying is I figured there'd be a book or a documentary about it at some point. And he's a guy who, I was going to say he likes attention, but I don't know that he really does. He likes to pick his attention. Yeah. And the Ryan Reynolds thing, like, is that just, they just throwing money at it? Yeah, but that's all it is.

That's all it is in any. Well, money after smart, right? You can't just throw money after just nothing. Money and some smart. Right. If you know what you're doing, like, yes, I think that's how you have to do it over there to win. It's extremely competitive. But it's, it's like I.

Which is business. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I may go home and put a Madden team together and think I know something. He's rich and smart enough to buy a soccer team and think his models are good enough and then prove it. Yeah. He's a very, yeah, but it's also what you would do if you had the money.

It's what everybody would do, right? Yeah, for sure. This is from Eric. He says, listening to the NBR. WHL is letting all WHL entries in. Fair, okay. And then I have a first down of the day. This comes from a good listener who said he's been having to do a lot of driving this week,

and he seems to always pass at Buckees. And at Buckees right now, they're running a special. Excuse me for a dollar off gas if you buy a car wash The car wash is $16. He says his truck holds 26 gallons If he buys the car wash he's saving $26 in gas with me? Okay No, but go on so if you say I'm buying the $16 car wash you get a dollar off your gas Okay, you then get 26 gallons of gas that you've saved now 26 dollars on okay pay 16 to save 26.

He doesn't even get the car wash. I thought you mean you'd get a dollar off the total. No, no, no, a dollar off per gallon. That's crazy. So buying the car wash that you don't get to save $26 on your gas. No, that's an absolute first down. First down sticks are moved. I love it.

Okay. Love it. Great job, Paul. That's very good. I got a WHL here, and this is a Bonafee Day, boys. This was going around after the stars lost to the Minnesota Wild. And I've told you all before that stars, social media, stars Twitter as I know it. It's a wild place.

NHL Twitter in general, wild place. There's a lot more diversity than you see than like NFL Twitter, it seems. And those people primarily exist to seemingly get made fun of. And then fight back and say that they're tired of getting made fun of in the hockey space and then fight back. And it's because of things like this. The name has been redacted. As a Dallas Stars fan and someone from DFW, I'm just going to say this, we may be salty at this loss,

but after the year that Minnesota has had in the fight your city put forth against fascism, I'm happy that you won. Texas doesn't deserve much right now, and you deserve the joy you've earned. Oh, okay. You know what? I actually think we should apportion the salary cap

based on DEI and civil rights and how well you're doing in education. And if your state has mean asshole people in charge, you deserve to lose at sports. That's so stupid. That's so stupid. Like, I can understand if you want to extend the sports dummy gorilla mindset of like, well, I'm also going to root for a big 12 team.

But, oh, you eloquently stood up against the proletariat. I hope you win this hockey match. This spare me. John Rocker's not coming to Texas to root out fraud. That's true. they're a higher priority place. There is none. That's right.

I got one from Max. Max. Who says, well, he's also got a gummy thought in here. So you wanted one of those at some point. But it's a Jake name rating. Hello, gang bang boys. I welcomed a second baby boy. By the way, I am also walking around trying to give Jimmy Haslam some money right now.

Okay. Just to let you know I'm not reading my thing while I'm driving. have nice bathings. Welcome to second baby boy on the 28th of April, wanted a name ranking from Jake. Our three-year-old's name is Jacob Wesley, and the new baby is Johnny Arthur. That's pretty cool, dude.

That's actually really cool. Johnny? Yeah, but it would sound weird. Do you think that's odd to have a given name as Johnny? It's kind of, it's definitely different, but Jonathan Arthur is cumbersome. And if they're- Did Jonathan be his nickname?

name then? Yeah, I think you sure. Yeah, I think Johnny is it's different, but Johnny Arthur Joe Johnny! Real desire to call Johnny Arthur seed. My grandfather won a couple of state

titles in Abilene football. His given name is Johnny. Really? Yeah. Champions. Boy, anybody affiliated with a West Texas football? title in any capacity. It's like being Navajo. They're like I'm 148 state champion.

Yeah. I've got one. This is kind of the world of Clav. There's a picture in there Clayton. Everything is mugged and maxed and whatever and it's now like everything is protein. I guess the next step is fiber.

We're now fiber maxing. They actually put it on the sign there. It says fresh, vibrant. fiber maxed. And it shows you three entrees you can choose that has a high amount of fiber. Just at a garden variety,

hello salad restaurant. Yeah. Fiber maxed. But they're always doing bits with their signs and the next one is fiber maxing. I like it. We got an email from Matt Grimm, from Matt Dallas.

First, he weighs in on the Lady Bing. We're talking about the Lady Bing. The sportsmanship award for the NHL. Grimm points out there was an enforcer for the Flyers and the Oilers, 80s, 90s, Dave Brown. Obviously, Dan knows Dave Brown. Do you guys ever have Dave Brown on? No. Okay.

I know you had a couple. I think I'd remember. You had a couple of enforcers during my time there that were like not stars. Dan is now in the bathroom. Yeah. No, no. I'm walking around. No, I'm not.

I'm not taking the dog. Dave Brown was known. I'm not doing. Known for fighting and being one of the dirtiest players of his era. I can't find the foot. but an interview, an NHL reporter asked him if he was ever going to win the Lady Bing trophy. His response was, as soon as they rename it, the man Bing trophy. But that's just a little apatief in Matt Grimm's email.

He checks in on the Michael Fay caning. Okay. So we were talking about Michael Fay, who was caned in Singapore, a teen. now I don't know how bad like when Dan reads the story he's like he threw a piece of gum on the ground or something it wasn't that oh what did he do I mean it was spray paint yeah it was vandalizing and hitting cars with eggs and it I also want to allow that it might be

Singaporean trumped up charges right I don't know the investigation I don't know if he confirmed what he did but if it was going around a neighborhood and being a part of a group that or by yourself tagging up 67 cars with paint and egg i wouldn't do that here but i definitely wouldn't do it over there and i wouldn't have at my worst either but in any case i so i think the reason i probably said that is i remember this story being out and i remember hearing why this is so draconian is that in Singapore like you throw gum on the ground you're going to get a right like it's the cleanest place in the world but like you know the rules are

Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. But the laws are really, yeah. You'll be thrown in jail for littering type thing. Yeah. So he's a part of a group of dudes. There was some stolen stuff.

I'm just again saying, I don't know the degree to which he was involved. But it wasn't just like, oh, just a little screw up here. And he got caned. And he got initially assigned six cane lashes. Clinton was able to negotiate the draft to four. and he was caned. And so Matt Grimm sent me a video about caning in Singapore. And my initial take when we talked about this was like,

this doesn't seem that bad to me. Yeah. You know, I mean, even just how bad could, would it have to remove the skin, basically, right? It would have to remove the skin for it to be that bad. If you're not removing the skin, then no matter how bad it hurts and breaking, What bone is there?

What do you call that? Like the bone near your hip, whatever bone is in your posterior. The hamate. Cossic, coxics? Yeah, and like your pelvis stays intact. Because at some point they'd be coming through and just crushing your balls through the front of your body.

But you never really got to that because you thought that they'd be running out Kyler Murray to spank you. You never really. Okay, so I don't have confirmation of whether or not he ping-ping is the guy. doing the whipping, but I do have a video of what it looks like as they actually do and administer the whipping so that you guys can describe for the audio listener.

They've got you on, and I don't know what I thought it would be, but they've got you on one of those like de-elevation type tables that you would hang on. And they've got you taped down in there. Oh, snap. Almost like body cast style. Damn. And so you're fully extended and you're in close, almost like a, Imagine laying on an incline bench on your chest trying to row.

And then they tape down on your waist and right below your ass to prominently make your ass pop out like you would like lingerie kind of. Yeah, it's like the old-time pajamas where you could undo the buttons in the back and just show your ass. So that just your ass is there. And they just go to work. Why do they have guys with top hats on watching? They have so many guys. They have a, they have a nurse.

One guy's wearing a medical mask, and the report says that they keep full medical attention there. They have your feet strapped in because you really have to dig in there. So it's worse than I thought it was. I will admit. Our South Lake Dungeons and Dragons Lady definitely had this contraption. That's what it looks like. And Dan, too, they're doing it like in the foyer of just some building. It's not in a...

It's outside. It's not in a dungeon. It's just like bring him out here, put his hands on here, and whip him for stealing. That's amazing. It's pretty rough. Do they have video of the kid? No, I don't think so. It has to exist.

Well, I mean, if it does, I don't. But I was just happy to get any. Dang, that's great. Cainvid, because it's a little darker than I thought it would be. Next picks with friends punishment. Did your dad hit you with the belt? My dad didn't do any of that My dad was not involved in that at all

My mom did all of it Oh I can see that Yeah no my dad was out by the time I was seven And he wasn't going to spend his weekends You know Administer him physical

But I don't know if he would have anyways But my mom yeah belt Spatula All sorts of You know back backhand But nothing like nothing like crazy crazy No switch We never did the switch

We had a belt We had a ping pong paddle Yeah paddle I remember remember the day where the power shifted from my mom to my dad because I accidentally laughed at my mom. Yeah. No, that was tough because I started doing that a lot. And there was not necessarily a closure to bring in at all times. And honestly, yeah, we all did that. Last key kids all did that once they, right, once mom, you got too big. Yeah. You got too strong. You're 15 or whatever. Right. She's this tiny lady.

That's a funny way to put it. The setup man can't get the job done. Right. The closers got to come in. Right. I've seen this third time through the order. I'm sending this the other way. I need a five out save tonight.

Lauren Cross, our good friend of the Cross clan, sent me a very good junior high social experiment in school email. So we've talked about this a little bit. I had some sort of class day where the class got split into poor working. and owner classes and you had a race so you could be like the rich black doctor or dentist but you still couldn't go to this place

but you could eat candy that day and you could like go to the candy shop at the you had money and I remember I had money and it sucked it was weird and it definitely landed you know it did its job

but in her case man I guess but she's talking about a middle school in Denton. Okay, and this is 1997-98. Lorne and I are the same age, so she's probably 12 at this time, 12, 13. They read the Diary of Anne Frank. And out of that lesson,

they are divided into four teams and only one of those four teams has the experiment with reading the book. So this was not every kid. So they got basically you got a signed a role. In your first period, whatever homeroom you were in, your teacher would give you a sealed envelope. And the envelope would be a letter that you were instructed to take out and read, but do not take anything else out of the envelope.

Envelope envelope. This letter would assume your role. Jew SS officer, ally to the Jewish, someone on the black market, or an informer. If you were assigned to be Jewish, you were to hide all around campus. As a Jewish person, you were given fake money. Some had a lot. Me, others had very little. We were also given a Star of David patch to wear the entire day.

After we got our assignments, the Jews were released first to go hide. We got a 15-minute head start. As an SS member, if you were assigned that, those folks were assigned to try and find us. If we were caught, we were sent to a concentration camp. This was our science room with Coach Thompson. Also tracks. In this camp, concentration camp, we were assigned cleaning duties to get out early if he felt like we deserved it. You could also bribe the guards with fake money, which I had a lot of, so I bought myself out pretty quick.

Once I was out, got a better hiding spot, another team's closet. Literally a closet. Remember, everyone else, all of seventh and all of eighth grade are continuing on with regular class. I set standing in a closet for about two hours before an SS guard came into the class to search and found me. I was taken back to the concentration camp, blah, blah, blah. Out for a second time. I found a classmate who was someone on the first. the black market paid him to take my star of David Patch, but an informer saw this and found

an SS officer who arrested me. I paid to get out again. I lasted the next three hours or so until the end of school day. Basically, they were just doing this all day. And kids could get lost. You just hide. I don't know that there's ever a time where they don't know where a kid is for two hours now, but as part of some game where you're just mimicking the slave trade,

no it sounds like a lot of fun it sounds like a lot more fun than reading or science class we're gonna compare it to that well i am gonna compare it to that because that's what the other kids were doing at school but it also kind of just sounds like adults being like what if we made him do this that's insane and she i left out a lot and she left out a lot you know like there's people here somebody you know I'd love to hear from somebody who was given the role of being an SS officer. Hey, you get to play Hitler today. How about the informant? Yeah, you fucking rat.

Like, I don't know. I don't know what you're... Jake's like, I'll be that. Right, immediately. Was that you who used to tell on your brother or vice versa? The brother one, I feel like that's just a full vice versa. But if you're referencing something for me specifically, I was a big puss. in my friend group always.

I know that doesn't track with the other stuff like in the same way the sleepover bit. Yeah, yeah. And that was not a fully isolated incident. Like that was the biggest one where my friend snuck out of the house to go meet up with girls, but I was too chicken. So after about an hour and a half of being bored alone at home, I texted them, I was like, your parents are up.

I think they know y'all got to come back. They got home, I'm like, I don't know. I guess they went back to bed. I guess they went back to bed. Hey, you want to play Madden? Everybody happens to be home. Are we fans of slowed down audio? You know, if done right.

There was a new server created in the Discord of show highlights, show clips, things that maybe the audience thought was funny. They thought that this exchange was funny and we can stop whenever. Like, what if the cow never existed? What would you do? Because without the cow, would you have cheese? Would we have America? Whoa. No.

I mean, you wouldn't have it in its same form, right? Do we used to ride cows to defeat the Indians? That's how we got all the horses. Okay. Not enough. Yeah, I think it's best when done in doses. and yeah, kind of pondering if America would be the same if we never had cheese.

It's a big part of it. It's a big part of it. So that's a gummy thought. For sure. Yeah, I had a, from that Jake name rating email, I forgot. He also had a gummy thought in here. He says during the long nights of having a newborn, I have a gummy thought.

And I'm having trouble deciphering whether I can even understand this. bring it to you guys. He says, are there only guys in Vietnam wearing Vietnam veteran hats? What does he mean by that? These thing women didn't serve? Is that it? It's got to be. That's not that great of a point, though, right? I'm trying to think what does it have something to do with, did we lose that war and do we just send the hat? like oh okay i don't know if that's it if that is it that's funny what you know the like if we always just send our second place or losers gear to other parts of the world to where do we

send them like america's change because we didn't exactly take a big win on that that would be uh if so that's that's quite next level i like that's where i was going with it he just needed to submit it to you the writer room Um, I think that's probably pretty good. Everybody feel good? Mm-hmm. All right. Well, is there a no clothes for, I know, that's not the close.

And I was grunting and my vein is popping out of my head. Do you use a dude white? What? Grunting. Well, I met a guy in there. I mean... Hold on. He had a wide stance, bro.

Let me see what this is real quick. Okay. So this is a story I want to start with for you here. This comes to us from Graham, Texas. Steers. I knew you'd be on that. So we have a video that has surfaced from over the weekend of a man who is a young county justice of the peace. So he is law enforcement.

He was involved in a late night altercation. over the weekend at what fast food restaurant? Dairy Queen. No, late night. Waterburger. Waterburger. So I'm going to take it to the local news there at a Texoma where they can give you some of this report.

Good evening, and thank you so much for joining us. I'm Aaron Gonders. And I'm Carney Porter. Alleyations are servicing against a Young County Justice of the Peace after a late-night altercation in Graham over the weekend. Ashley Waters spoke with a witness and other. Graham residents on this and she has more on what's being said as well as reaction from the 90th district judge's office. Questions are growing in Young County over allegations involving Justice of the Peace Precinct 1, Jason Hearn.

According to witness Preston Burge, who says he was present, the incident happened after one Sunday morning at the Waterberger and Graham. Birch says famous social media influencer Danny Duncan and his film crew were also at the location. Who? Danny Duncan. Danny Duncan 69 has 3.7 million followers on. Instagram. He's got 8.1 million subscribers on YouTube. You know, I couldn't tell you. Couldn't tell you. Do you do that with 69 in your name?

Apparently so. Check me out. Brackett Dan 69 on Instagram. Or Dumbzone 69 on what? Instagram? TikTok. Yeah. I think it's... No one knows. We weren't allowed. Yeah. So Danny Duncan and his boy. They're pranksters. They're at a Waterburger in small town, Texas in the middle of the night.

And these kids, they're teens, like they appear to be high school age. They recognize him. And they're talking to the streamer. He claims Hearn was there as well and made a homophobic comment to a teenage boy and his friends after they were taking pictures with Duncan. Danny Duncan got up to leave and we were like,

I always should get a picture with him. So we asked for a picture and he kindly gave us pictures. And as he walked off, PJ one judge of young cow he was in there with his family. You started talking about if it's cool to take pictures of another dude, basically calling us gay and stuff. So there's just like this 60-year-old country guy in a cowboy hat, and he's in Waterburger, in the middle of the night, Saturday night,

and he sees these kids come in. They probably look exactly like I did at that age. You know, they got flat bill hats on their hair. a freaking mess. They're wearing skateboard gear. And they see one of their heroes in there. Guess what? He looks exactly the same.

He's wearing, you know, a fruity Hawaiian shirt. His hair's all hippied out. He's their leader, you know? One of his posts, he's got a red shirt with the white plus sign and says, a orgasm donor. Yeah, no. Just bits for days. Think of your teens, 20s.

And these guys are like, holy shit, we're in this small town and this guy's here. And Graham. And in that moment. As this old fucking redneck is Terminator scanning this water burger. He's like, what I see wrong with society is right before me. And he just can't help it, but to be like, hey, homos. What are you doing? Taking pictures with your boyfriend?

Are you in line or not? And the next thing you know, you've got to fight. That's awesome. Yeah. So they've not fired the guy yet. And I don't know that they will. It is a small town, but they got into a fight. It turned into a fist fight.

I mean, the video is the guy who's the older guy is punching a high school kid who is then punching him back. And remind me, he was the Justice of the Peace or something? Yeah. Okay. The title's always been a little, you know, a little shaky. There was news coming down yesterday during the show that we had a mass shooting situation in Carrollton. two people dead at my ice cream place three hospitalized really you have an ice cream place in carolton

you go to k-town for that oh yeah okay they have good desserts okay i need to it's not that far from me add it to your rotation okay because i don't think it's any further than the place in las calinas really uh for you yeah it is it wouldn't be a bad stop on the way home from here Like George Bush and 35. It's that like shaved ice ice cream. It's not like, it's not a snow cone. It was just very light.

No, no, yeah, I dig it. It's just delightful. Lights are so bad at desserts. Ice cream is pretty good. Mix it up. I like it. In any case, there was a murder. No.

But the good news is it was just a murder. So what we have is a 69 year old man who has been identified as the suspect. He was arrested after a small, uh, short foot chase. That was not a joke at all because this man was Asian. And his victims were also Asian. And say it was a... And you're saying that's the good news.

A business meeting. I am saying that that is good news on a number of fronts. A number of fronts. I am saying that it is good news that it was an intra-race or inter-rather. I'm saying that when I saw that there was... a shooting at the Korea town in Carrollton and that five people were dead, it felt like this is probably somebody who was looking for Korean people. And I was very, frankly, worried for a few hours.

Like, oh, God. And then you saw the name. And I saw the name. And I saw the guy and was like, you know, that's not really my problem. I don't know. I followed the twiggy, the twiggy rules, you know. Just hoping it wasn't a white guy? Yeah, hoping it wasn't a white guy.

And it wasn't targeted towards specific Asian. It was targeted towards these specific people. It was a business. No, it's horrible, obviously. But if we're going to, we charge people more for hate crimes because they do more damage to society. So it's also react the same, right? It's not as bad. It wasn't a hate crime.

No, I feel. Right. No, that should be the, I think generally the public is like that, but you're right. Yeah. You should kind of say, what's the big deal? It wasn't a hate crime. kind of charge it to the game it's business bro yeah now if it's a chinese guy shooting koreans is are you just lumping that all into one category um what i'm doing is staying away

speaking of that's probably what we should do here but we're not gonna because uh there's something going on and again i think i've told you guys my entire social media feed it's it's a lot of Texas Red being really upset about the amount of brown in Texas. But as we talked about with the Muslim games, the sports tournaments that were going to be at Collieville Heritage, the guy moved or canceled or postponed because the governor of Texas deemed them affiliated with a terrorist organization. So even if they had not called it the Muslim games,

I think they were probably in for an uphill climb because of their affiliation with a group that the government deems to be problematic. But you don't have to name it that. And in this case, we're talking about there's something in Grand Prairie called Epic. You guys familiar with Epic Waterpark? I think so. It's a big city. I think the ticket used to do stuff out there. It's a city-owned indoor water park.

and it's huge, it's cool, and it's in the news right now because there's a flyer out there for an event on June 1st, which is a Muslim only event at this water park. I don't actually know how to say the word that describes the event as, but essentially it's a Muslim only event meaning it's going to be, now they've removed Muslim, only but the intent of this is to say like everybody here is going to be dressed that way there is a certain again there's a certain way there's a certain type of personal space that they stay away from each other there literally is and it's still on their website even after they've removed the muslim only part of it there is instructions about like not staring at tities like avert your

gaze you're not like there's an actual rule which probably is in the bible too We just don't say, like, we don't actually go out in public and say we're following that. Huh. Yeah. But this is, as you can imagine, going over super well. Has it hit Facebook yet? Yes, it has, which means now it's hit the New York Post, that Epic Waters in Grand Prairie, which is, again, city-owned, taxpayer-funded is having a water park exclusively reserved for Muslims. modest dress only,

halal food, which is just every Wednesday night for me now. Like, does anyone actually care, though? You know what? Can I say... My tax dollars are going to this party, Dan. Can I actually say that I kind of do a little bit care? And I'm not...

I'm not trying to be logically consistent or avoid hypocrisy just to do it. I just think it kind of... is weird to me when public places get overly Christian as someone who in my life maybe has been in some uncomfortable situations where I'm like, this isn't really a

place where there should be church. It's odd to me. Now, I would just not go if I were not. That seems like a pretty easy one. To just not go. But I do think it's weird if a place that is paid for by the government is

going, that's a day that I can't go to that park. That I pay, that's a good pay to go to the park. I did in general want the government and that same how I feel about like the vouchers. A lot of people on the Republican side are like, this is crazy. These Muslim schools are going to get these vouchers. I'm like, I don't think they should get the, they shouldn't get them either. I don't really want any religious school getting getting that money. But you know, you say all that to say, if I have any inkling at all about how the media ecosystem works, especially down here, isn't Alex Stein just going to be there

like wearing like a speedo and just like they can't keep you out like and obviously they can come up with some sort of subjective disturbing the piece you're not allowed to have a camera or whatever but they can say hey it's strongly suggested that you do this or that and in a normal world

people would be like I just won't go that day who cares yeah but that's I would not. I would not imagine what will happen. But, you know, they have like a prayer room that night. Yeah. No, that's good points. You've made some great points. Damn, dude. Thank you. We've talked a little bit about the mayor of Magnolia. Chip? That's pretty good. But no, this is Magnolia, Texas. He was the news up here because he was on a work trip in Tarrant County in Fort Worth,

and that's where he assaulted the woman that worked for the city that he called the Sex Terry. Remember this story? Oh, the old guy? Yeah, he's oldish. There may be two stories you're confusing. This is not the guy that would say, hey, you don't even know what I do you in those white pants back in the day. This is the guy that assaulted a pregnant woman.

woman on a work trip. Okay. So this is really snow. The other guy's funnier. The other guy's definitely funnier. I was assaulted. Yeah, they said he punched her. Oh.

Oh. Remember? According to Gable, the mayor allegedly attempted to pull down her pants in public and later grabbed her by the throat, pinning her against the structure outside a hotel while she was five months pregnant. I don't like that. Well, let's get his side of the story. Well, the news story is that...

She didn't want an open concept. Again, they were not even in a relationship. The news story, though, is all of the people... He had apparently been firing people. This is what I wish would happen to Nico. He had been firing people for months because they had been finding out about his bullshit. So now all of those people, now that he's in trouble, are suing him.

Like, yeah, you see, clearly I was wrongfully terminated. So you're going to be hemmed up criminally, civilly all over. Which, bro, I mean, I get being horny, but if you are so horny that you have to like body slug Was he trying to tag the pregnant? I don't know. I mean, it sounds like he was trying to rapa her. It's the creepiest, wildest. You can't get her pregnant.

Great point. No, that's not a great point. It's a point. It's a point. Subjectivity will determine whether it's great or not. Six people were hurt last weekend down in Pearland. This is a funny story, though. They were hurt.

This is a mobile home area. After someone threw a can of gasoline onto a bonfire, there's video circulating online. At a mobile home park? Well, it's like a... Yeah, I guess so. Correct. All right.

Yeah. You probably have like a burn pit, you know? And somebody threw a can of gasoline on it. It exploded since six people to hospital. And you just know... Especially as like a big boozer. I mean, they're just... If you're really on a certain wavelength,

Sunday at about 6 p.m. is... by far the most dangerous time. Because you just really haven't, like, stopped. Monday's coming. Yeah. And you're like, You got a few hours left. I promise you, dude.

And you see it a lot because I think people will tie it to, like, football games. You know, you'll see violence on Sunday night, and it'll be the Cowboys we're playing or whatever. And I think a lot of times it's just people are whacked by Sunday night. For me, it's when you first hear the 60 minutes sound effect on the afternoon game of the, on CBS. You know your weekend's about over. You start getting pissy.

You know, we were talking about the other day when I twisted my knee up and the guys on the God squad, the team we were playing, came over and prayed for me. I wish you wouldn't have let him do that. And I immediately popped up and just better or not,

in my head I was better. I had to be better. In a sense... That's true. That the prayer worked. Exactly. And in a sense, that might kind of be how church is.

Like, look, you just kind of need to get ready for Monday. Okay? Maybe. What if you get up? on Sunday. You won't hate Monday as much. Get up. Talk to your friends. Go have a nice lunch. Now, you're not selling me

on that necessarily, but if that's the thought, I could see it. And if that didn't work, come back tonight. Got another one. Dude, yeah. No thanks. All right, there is your news. The Dumb Zone News.

Like and subscribe. That was a good news. Happy birthday. Oh, no. You're good. There's a bed that goes with that, isn't there? Right next to it. Who's this brought to us by?

I don't see you. This is brought to us by the fine folks at Frankl and Frankl. If Dan were to smash into somebody. I'm trying. I know. He's out there, Franco, hunkle hunting for us. Go Frankl Max at 214, 817333 or 3333.

But seriously, folks, Dan just had a nice chat with these boys the other day. Yes, did a business Wednesday interview with them. I called you after. Like, I wasn't sure how it would go because it was like three different guys. It was Mark and Scott Frankel and then Jim Burkett, of course. It was awesome. Like, their story is so cool. A lot of it really it, like he was telling me the story of, he's like, the reason they started doing this, he was working for the man like big companies. And he goes, it's very difficult to go home after you argued and then won a case and you were watching, you watched them wheel a paraplegic out of there.

And you won, though. And they're all real sad because you denied them the money. And he goes, I wanted to start working for the other side. And that's pretty much what they do. They work for the little guy. So if you're in an auto accident, like auto accidents is this guy's specialty. One of the guys has a specialty like in medical malpractice too. Like it's insane.

Let me tell you something. But these guys are helping out the little guy, Frankel and Frankel. I love them. ATVs. I'm happy to work with them. I bet you they deal with those a lot. Thanks to the Frankles. I'm terrified of ATVs, man.

A lot of stories in the parent community. A lot of, lot of. Do they have any, do they have any STVs? Some terrain? Yeah. It's like some of the terrain. The dry ones. Like, is that what a regular car is?

Is it some terrain? Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of subterranean, that's something I thought was going to be a bigger part of my life as I was a kid. Boy, there must be tunnels everywhere. I probably live in the sewer. As wife who works in the ICU for children's now, a lot of ATVs, a lot of e-bikes, and his scooters. You hear.

A shocking number of, oh, like they're having a memorial for this or that or whatever. Because you know why? Kids can't drive. No. No, and they shouldn't. Today is May 6th. One viewer male birthday for today. It says, Dear Daniel, still waiting for my wife to wake me up in that special way. Did gift me the subby, though. Nice. This is my Larry Bird plus Tyrese Maxi birthday.

Tell Blake I was at Jackson Middle School for three years But that stash isn't hiding that private school privilege Ooh Yeah Blake is like me with like how I look Like I look like I should be athletic People expect it So I got that part of it where they're like

What's the deal? And I'm not Blake, you hear Blake's story I bet this guy was rich as fuck Then you're like You realize. Went to the bargain bin private school. They had poor kid private schools. Yeah. It was fun time, though.

I have a name rating for Jake. Our two-month-old's name, Graham Miller. I wouldn't do it, but I don't hate it. I just feel like Graham. I don't know. It feels too youth ministery to me. But I don't hate it. It's just I wouldn't do it.

What was the middle name again? Miller. Miller. I like that as a first name. I think that'd be cool. I don't hate it, but it's not for me. More Major Mike, D.F number 3,487, thanks to Brad. We tried to deliver Moss Miguel today.

Yeah. We got our signals crossed. Do we have anything coming out the next couple days? Is that one we'll get Biz Wednesday? Any movie chance? Yeah, I will have time to sit down to do it. that. Okay. Yeah, we'll get that out.

We're going to release the full Delhanson. Oh, nice. From last Friday. Hey, I just realized I had a really good late arriving viewer mail that we should have done. Go for it. I'm going to do it. And maybe Dan decided not to do this one. Now he's like, yeah, that's why I didn't do it.

But I thought this was funny. This is from Jason. We were talking the other day about, getting breast cancer and whether or not it's true that Michael Douglas actually got mouth cancer from Catherine Zeta Jones's vagina and her cervical cancer as he claims. Jason says, Tribune of the Pubes. I laughed at yesterday's very dumb zone conversation about breast cancer and transferring it to your spouse through pleasure seeking. Of course, this was our question.

Your wife finds a lump. you start sucking on it can it transmit through milk he says through normal marital exploration he noticed that his wife had a lump she checked it out long story short breast cancer

chaotic tumultuous he said there's a couple of weeks of gathering schedules ensuring the plan fits that leaves some downtime she's not super into doing it but you know you've got you've got to go for it and he went for it.

So now, he says nine years later that she's cancer-free and he never got it. He says it not only does not spread the cancer, the activity of suck and tease, but if you try hard enough, you can give that cancer a right cross before the doctor dives in. Okay. This guy is somewhat crediting himself for sucking the cancer out of his wife's tits. Hero. And you can't necessarily say that he's wrong. right?

No. It's like a magnetic force or field as he's just pulling it away. It's like when they laid hands on you on that football field. Right. It's not dissimilar at all. Jesus used to suck the pores. Yeah, that's how he brought Lazarus back to life. You got a hinge from Jesus.

All right. Today is Wednesday, May 6th, the 126th day of 2026. Go ahead. Yeah, yeah. What's up, Dan? No, I was going to ask, number one, I was going to, ask is Blake going to do it or me? So if Blake's doing it, cool.

See, now I feel like that's condescending and that, like, he feels like he should do it. I didn't think I did that bad. No, I thought I was on a delay or something. Number two, did we have a sponsor for this or no? Your mom. We're going to call this brought to us, Dan, by poncho. I actually placed a poncho order just the other day. Dude, I brought my poncho to wear to my kids' graduation.

Nice. That's a very solid move, especially since you're trying. traveling you don't know what the weather is going to be and you don't have to iron it those are two big parts for me of the poncho is that it's going to be good in any weather changing out there always why not be ready for it ham it's poncho outdoors.com slash dumb zone life four guy these these damn shirts have spf 15 in the shirt what in the shirt right so beat cancer Beat cancer right there at poncho outdoors.com slash dumbzone. Get 10 bucks off your first order.

Poncho outdoors.com slash dumbzone. Thank you, Dan. I'll be better about this as we go along. In 1882, President Chester Allen Arthur signed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which barred Chinese immigrants from the U.S. for 10 years. Yeah. Look. There was a lot going on.

That's what made it. The original plan was the earlier version was a 20-year ban, which is too steep. I mean, the only reason they were letting them come over was to work anyways. It wasn't like they were welcoming them in and, yeah, I don't know. I'm sure. Yeah, was there like a huge influx? Apparently so, right? Yeah.

The 1800s? Yeah. Too many. In 1937, the hydrogen-filled German airship Hindenberg caught fire and crash while attempting to dock at Lakehurst, New Jersey. It's a docking, see? You don't be docking. 35 people on board were killed.

I did put that radio report in the drop box if you guys wanted to hear it. It's starting to rain again. The rain had flacked up a little bit. They back motor for the ship are just holding it just enough to keep it from... It's first and the flage. Get this county. Get this county.

It's crazy. It's crazy. It's terrible. Oh, my God. Get out of the way, please. It's running, bursting into flames, and it's falling on the mooring fast, and all the folks between this is terrible. This is one of the worst catastrophes in the world. How can you say that already? Four or five hundred feet into the sky.

It's a terrific drag, ladies gentlemen, the smoke and the slaves now, and the flame is rising to the ground. Not quite to the morning mass. All the humanity and all the ferns are screaming around it. All right, that's enough. Oh. Not quite. Walter Cronkite Steadingham

I don't know I think he captured the spirit of the thing Not a lot of training Yeah but he's also not on Ball State TV That was the big time Right That's good point

He's at the Hindenberg I'm pretty sure that I attempted to do a bit At the station at one point where I put Different versions of Ramos saying you got to hope it's a cramp throughout historical Disaster In 1954 medical student Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile during a track meet in Oxford, England. Man, that's damn near Troy Aikman being hot.

Like, I think it's because it makes sense if like, I mean, listen, I probably shouldn't be able to say this because I'm not Akash, but if you're going to be like an Indian guy, be a doctor, that's fine. You don't get to be like the most in shape guy Like hunk in the world and be a doctor Yeah That doesn't work for me Although my Indian doctor is ripped And basically makes me think he's God What was T.C.'s claim?

Six minute. In like, what did he need? Two months to train or something? Yeah, I mean, he might have said six months But it wouldn't matter because it would take five years. And he claimed genetics? Yeah, and that he used to run. I mean, he did in junior high, right?

I mean, he, TZ used to be skinny. T.C.'s not big by nature. Did you guys see the recent winner of the Boston Marathon? Like, I'm not kidding. I think it was the first ever sub two hour. Does that make sense? Yeah. Whatever. It was like a, it was an, 26 miles run. an average of like four and a half minutes a mile. Right.

The winner. Four and a half minutes a mile. Why is no one else excited? Like I am. Which part? I mean, which part are we supposed to be blown away? But I know the, I have a marathon or half marathon time that's very shitty. So I know how good it can get.

But I mean, yeah, if the record mile is four. So you're saying that's good? It's incredible. Can you run a 10-minute mile, Blake? Yes, dude. Do I want to? A 10-minute mile? Yes.

Dan, I think if you offered me a pill that I could run a mile in four and a half minutes, I would say no thank you. Like why? Like what's the total of shit you've ever said? How am I going to monetize? What is that going to do for me? Not everything's about monetizing. Just the experience. of running that fast.

Dude, four to a half minute mile today. He's played here for run plus. Look at my score. Look at my fitness. I crushed it this morning. Just get out there and run. How fast you run a mile.

And you could go experience running. One of the superheroes on the boys that can run a four minute mile. Who cares? Marathon times don't mean anything. But the superhero on the boys took an Uber to the front of the line like Brie T.S.E.

And posted it on their Instagram and lost it. their account with Hems, their influencer account. The person who's running the 8-minute mile is burning more calories. They're running longer. That's possibly true, but at a mile, I'm actually going to say that's not. A 4-minute mile, you're almost sprinting. I'm like, Dan's got the biggest grin on his face right now in that car.

It's just, how do I make money off this? I guess it's not money. I just, you're doing it to tell people how fast you can run a mile. Because it'd be fun. And then you could be like, dude, I could go run. Because if you could run a mile and four and a half minutes, you could run a lot more places. I don't want to run places. I don't want to run to begin with.

Well, I mean, I think, you know, again, once you're at 15 miles an hour, it's just boom, boom, boom, boom. If you're telling my home to first time improves with it, then I'll take it. But I'm not going to run past the houses of my neighborhood just slightly faster than I could now. It's ridiculous. Clayton, in 1999, Waterberger opened their flagship Waterburger by the bay in Corpus Christi, Texas. Hell yeah, brother. Waterburger by the Bay, yeah. Sixthous, where on earth could you be here?

Who is it? Okay. That's not me. I know. Turn off the other one. He's on the links. What's up, bros? Put your phone in your pocket?

What are you doing? in 2004 an estimated 51.1 million people tuned in for the finale of Friends. Okay. They got to see Rachel get off that plane. She was going to go to Paris for her new job. Kind of forgetting that she had a baby, Emma. Not sure how they were going to tie that one up, but she stays home with Ross as Chandler and Monica move into their new house. He was just going to leave Ross?

Yeah, because Ralph Lauren gave her a sweet gig in Paris. It was her dream job. That show did more damage to the American family. I think it's great. The importance of friends in your life. Downfall of Western civilization. In 2013, kidnapped and rape victims, Amanda Barry, Gina DeHesus, and Michelle Knight.

Hey, bro! We're rescued from a house just south of downtown Cleveland. their captor Ariel Castro hanged himself in prison in 2013 at the beginning of a live sentence plus 1,000 years. Scram, okay? We don't even start counting a thousand years until you're dead. Was the FedEx guy live plus 35? I don't know.

I didn't. I thought he got life. Oh, death. Like, what's the point of that? Why do we do that? It's just a slap in the face. No, I think it's the guard against Christ. biogenics.

Just to hedge you can never be totally sure. You know. That's your bet. Hey, bro. Didn't we stay in that house for our Airbnb? Boy, wasn't far off. Wasn't too far. Dude, the upstairs bathroom,

the bathroom at the shower, leaked so bad that water pooled and then fell through the ceiling. We weren't a bad part of Cleveland. What, that was in the Ariel Castro house? Not too far. Dead giveaway. On this day in Dumb Zone history, it was the Blue Angels flyover day.

Oh, wow. So as nurses were dropping left and right from coronavirus and death and blood and guts everywhere, hey, come outside. Look at these planes fly overhead. It'll make you feel better. You know, we try to think of ourselves as a very modern society, but it is super North Korea to be like everyone's bummed out, get the jets. They're not doing anything.

Fly the jets. Get the drones too. And this was brought up in the news. People were tailgating on 114 for it. I went out there and saw. People were across the bridge, up and down the freeway. Nobody had anything to do. And they're just doing tricks over the top of us.

It was very surreal. But I had a mask on. I had a mask on. Okay, so. Uh, this was the show where you played, and I think we need to revisit this, the 60 Minutes edition from back in the 90s, I guess, that specialized on fat Americans. Oh, it wasn't the 90s. It was like the 70s. Oh. But it is, here, pull me up.

Oh, gracious. Pull me up and I'll play the intro for it. I'm going to say late 60s, early 70s. Turn down that audio, Blake. It's all coming through the same channel. I don't know what to do. Well, hang it up. All right. So now Dan's gone?

No, he's gone. You pull me up now? A while back, we heard that a group of fat Americans were planning to hold a convention in Washington, the National Association to Aid Fat Americans, they call themselves. It wasn't going to be a diet seminar, they said, nothing like overeaters anonymous. Instead, it would be a weekend dedicated to fat pride, fat liberation.

Well, that intrigued us, so we asked if we might sit in and they agreed. 155 people Most of them female From all across the country Okay, well you get the idea Put a month I did

Yeah yeah Somehow These people are not ashamed And it's so funny They find a guy in there He's like with a woman He's like this guy even seems to like this woman Who's fat?

He's like But the way he emphasizes the word fat Yeah He leans into the F Yeah They're here to celebrate fat American Yeah Let's see. In 2021, Dan tells us about his step sister, who's married to Clay Travis, but I wanted to bring up this note that I had forgotten.

You watched the OJ Chase at her house? Yeah, I think so. She was in high school at the time, man. So her kids didn't have lice then? I guess deep inside her, those little eggs were somewhere in there, right? you the carrier. Yeah. And then on this... Little lice on the little legs.

Also on this day in 2021, we played some OJ audio. It's long. I know. I get it. I want to play it. Damn. Okay? Because it's O.J. Simpson. Dan's away. I know. No doubt.

It's O.J. Simpson. I'm going to prove O.J. was innocent for once. Okay. On transgender's in sports. And there's a Joe Kemp tie in here. Hey, Twitter world, is me, yours, truly. Well, I don't know how it happened, but yesterday, for some reason, the conversation

amongst all my golf buddies got about this thing about transgender males, especially in high school, competed against the girls. And what did I think about it? Well, I told them I didn't have much of an attitude about it, but one guy reminded me how upset I was when some friends from my old country club in California told me that the former Bruce Jenner was playing from the ladies tease. And I admit, I was upset when I heard that. I saw the former Bruce compete in the Montreal Olympics. I actually worked the games and called part of one of his races. And what an athlete. The man was an exceptional athlete. And

he won the gold medal as a decathlet. And somehow just bothered my senses that he would be playing from the ladies tees. I play with a lot of ladies and some who were in high school and some. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, now it hits home, okay?

The high moral and ethical standards of O.J. Simpson were not met. It's just not sitting right with O.J. Simpson. I mean, she's out driving us every hole. I've killed ladies for less of that. Yeah. And the

tie into my brother. Yeah, my brother used to play golf out there with Ryan Griffin, who was a quarterback for the Saints for a long time, played with my brother at Tulane, and then another young receiver. I can't remember his name. But he was a young white slot receiver, and he was a member out there. They were playing one day. Scotty Miller. Was it Scotty Miller? Wow. My guess. I don't know. And they were playing at the course, and they saw a lady hitting from the women's T's. And as they were approaching, probably just around the bend, like 100, 200 yards away. They're like, who is that freaking milf?

Just striping it. Like she's on the green on a bar four and one every time. Like, God, she's hot. And they just got closer and closer and closer. And I'm like, yeah, it's Caitlin Jenner. That's, uh, and then Joe was like really pissed, just like OJ was. He's like, what the, this is not right? Yeah.

Like, she's, she's carding this. Going back to. problem with the moral choices, but play the right piece. Yeah, this is not, work this into the handicap somehow. He's also got like a giant boner, right? Right, that's the... Oh, yeah, they were bird dogging it big time. And then finally in 2025, a Dan fights with his wife.

They fought because Dan didn't say bless you on her second sneeze. Now, your first problem might have been just doing one, because once you do one, you're kind of committed, right? Yeah, but I found out a long time ago. She needs that validation. At least one bless you. Yeah, her soul will leave her body or something. All right, birthdays today.

Former Cowboy Jason Witten is 44. Tidens coach at OU. Lost his hair. Did. And then got it back. No, he had all that hair for the TV gig. And now he's both. Remember him on the show trying to tell us about TV magic?

He's like, yeah, you know, it's like, come on. Angles was the big explanation, angles. Cameron Dicker is 26. Mm-hmm. Dustin Colquitt is 44. Angel Reese is 24. He had the outrageous strike zone. No, that's Angel Hernandez.

Oh. I thought maybe you're doing it. That's good. I get confused. Disability Channel, Arvell Reese. No, what was your leading statement on or on Angel Reese. What are you wondering?

Oh, just she was in the news fighting with Caitlin Clark and then now after, really since her me-bounds, you don't hear from her much. She was at the MetGale. Bro. What she really? You forgot about me-bounds, Dan? I forgot that that's a term and I love it.

It's great. She did have like, what, 12 a game or? Jake, you know. Yeah, because I was taking the higher. Well, do you remember that one TikTok? Oh, are we doing an underdog today on? Yeah, yeah, we'll get at it. Before we, before we're done.

Yeah, yeah. Where there was, there were those guys on TikTok who would bet on her to miss the first shot of the game, and they won like nine times in a row. Oh, yeah, and they just celebrate wildly. That was awesome. Yeah. Jose Al-2Ve is 36. War of 53.4.

I'm assuming war games winner. A very productive player. Chris Paul is 41. Brunig. Gorn Drogh. It is Matt Brunig's favorite player. And I sat in front of his mom in the final regular season game

of the 2011 magical season for the maps. Matt Brunig's mom? That's right. Cliff pole. Goran Dragich is 40. Really, every team's got a list of how did this never happen? And if there's five names on the list, Goran Dragic has got to be on it for the Mavs.

Yeah. Got to be. Tom Kusano is 69. Who? It says here he was the rumored gay player. Always use a player face. That's what we learned from Tom Cousinot. Did you have that for the?

the Cowboys when you were a kid. Like when I was a kid, Tom Cousno was a linebacker for the Browns. But it was the guy that everybody knew was gay because he lived in this one hotel in Lakewood or something. And like there was the story that, yes, a friend of my cousin who works at the emergency room was working the night that he came in with a thing in his bottom. Okay. And like that's why this journeyman linebacker is on the birthday list. Well, I didn't highlight it if you want to know. I gave Blake a highlighted list of things I thought you'd be interested in.

He's also a 1-1, which I didn't realize. That is, but I'm trying to think. I don't have... He was a 1-1? Yeah. Wow. Okay, I know he was an Ohio State linebacker. Yeah.

The Browns expected big thing, but he was the guy. Maybe because he was underperforming, he was the guy that we always just knew. He was just gay. I don't remember. I don't remember even the... concept you got to remember dude of my age like yeah mike tyson raked a woman well yeah but i just mean the cowboys to me were all legitimately if you had asked me is troy aikman actually riding a horse every day and part of law enforcement i would have said yes and part of the problem was because like

chad hittings was in the air force and they would put him on every commercial he was doing illusions chad hinnings that's dug hennig dug hennings oh i'm sorry everyone who is associated with the was just badass, Dan. You know what I mean? It's like, here's Randy White and Jay Novich. Like the idea that one of them was gay? No. Yeah, I guess if you have the Browns.

Something must be wrong. What are these guys gay? Martin Broder is 54. Former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair is 73. Iraq. Thanks, pal. Jamie Fox. Actor-director...

What's that? Jamie Fox played Tony Blair in a Chappelle show skit. Oh, yeah. I think that was a part of the Black Bush series. Yeah, with most deaf and the yellow cake. Yeah. Don't drop that. George Clooney, 65.

Yeah, I don't know, man. How do you guys feel about him? You think he's clean? What do you mean? Child stuff? I feel like he's on the list. Yeah, I think that's what I mean. I don't know.

Just to somehow involve this. Epstein. George Clooney's fine. Oh. Okay. Okay. My skeptic has spoken. Bob Seeger's 81.

Eating. Dan. He's sick. Now, I feel like, you know, he says all of CCR songs are about rain. I don't really know that I know many Bob Seeger songs, but I feel like they're all about cigarettes. His guitar. His guitar sounds like a cigarette. Norm loves him.

Like a rock. Norm loves him because Bob Seeger sounds like he's having a hard time. And Norm's like, God, that's identifiable. I feel you, pal. Yeah, there's something to that. Like, oh, this sounds tough. He's just tough, pal.

Mark Brian from Hootie and the Blowfish is 59. What are we doing? There's one member of Hooty and the Blowfish. I didn't fucking highlight it. Dan highlighted rock musician Mark Bryan. I didn't direct it at you. I'm directed. He's the one doing it.

Why do you have to take that? Another highlight, rock musician Chris Schifflett from Foo Fighters is 55. Now he's purposely reading the shit I didn't highlight. Rock senior John Flansberg. I was looking at a 66. Why did you not read Gaboray Cibadee? I was afraid I wouldn't be able to nail the pronunciation. Hey, how about you stay off his ass?

He's the one reading it. Okay, dude? You didn't play up a fight for, Naomi Scott. Oscar winner. Oscar winner for precious? I'd never heard. Empower your people and let them go.

Dan, Sunday night at this music festival, he just said Chris Schifflett from Fufidus made me think of this. Sunday night at this music festival I'm going to in a few months, someone named Violet Grohl is on the bill. How do you think she? Oh, really, Battle of the Bands are weighed up to the top? No, I don't think it's the fun baby. That'd be hilarious if they put his one-year-old that he had out of wedlock up there and they're like, good luck, champ.

What if she just changed her name so that people would mistake her for that? Ah, yes. That's why I changed my name to Jacob Epstein. Other Dan highlights, Sadie Sandler is 20. It's got to be the same deal, right? Now he's making shit up. A YouTube star Carful's 18. Dan, I don't know where you're getting this list.

And finally, Prince Archie of Sussex is seven. Dan, I don't know again. Foof. Excuse me, rapper birthday of the day. Meek Mills 39. Bob Kraft. Help get him out of jail. And then the final one, George Henderson is 82.

The note here is he invented. the wave. Man, that guy. You see that? Somebody should have done a hate crime on him. See that? That was me. Nobody would have been mad.

Instead. That was my hero growing up, man. I thought that guy was the king. He came up with the wave. The balls, you know? The thing I wanted to start every time I went to the game. Yeah, no, no, we all stand up at the same time. It'll look cool, promise.

Just do it. Dude, I bet you the first time. everybody. The first time he saw that bitch connect the whole way around as it's coming around just a tear forming his eye and everyone's looking around and the movie ends. Don't yell it is awesome. It's not awesome. It is.

It sucks. It sucks to make everybody. It sucks to make everybody do something that you, like, if everybody, it's the pressure, right? It's the pressure. When's the last time you did it? I mean, I probably do it. What? I guess I'd have.

If I guess I've, everything else to do. I can't recall. But if I go with my kid, I'll do it is what I'm trying to say. That's a good one. And I know that's where Dan is. That's why he's having to defend it. Should we start it at the Dumb Zone Day at the ballpark? I love it.

I actually love it. It's a great bit. It actually gets a community. It's good for the city. People do stuff together. It's good for the city. It brings both sides together. It's what the world needs right now.

It's what the world needs right now. Everyone to do the way. Why didn't we do that? that during COVID. We should have. Now, mainstream media and every like real sports guy, oh no, no, no, no, I don't like the wave because it's not not, no, no, no, I'm paying attention to the game. Yeah. Yeah, like, what are you doing? Scoring the game? No, you're right. They should just, they should just replace the players with dude perfect. All of them. No, you're right. Did you freaking see that when they

played at Kyle Field, the left field fence, was it like 206? God, only a hitter would even care. Matchbox. This is the polo grounds? Born on this day, now dead, Orson Wells. That's a great call on of odd dimensions for an old ballpark, Blake. Thank you for knowing that.

Sigmund Freud. I wanted to bone his mom. She was hot. To him. Rubin Hurricane Carter. Here comes a do you of the hurricane. Invented that. What sandwich?

That's a good Bob Dylan. Rubin? Dude. That is a good Bob Dylan. I don't know why I said it like I was about to go Ross. That is a good Bob Dylan. That's also a very good movie. And I think it gets underrated in the Denzel catalog significantly because he's not

killing people the whole time. Yeah. That movie rocks. Why don't you marry it, Homo? Maybe I will. I support IR marriage. We said earlier

Jose Altuve with a 53.4 war born on this day, now dead Willie Mays, a war of 156.1. Jesus. Yeah. It's going to be a top top five or ten of all time, for sure.

Dead on this day, still dead. Mark 2A. Ooh. Died at 35. Speedball. First time he ever did drugs. I don't think that's... He was stressed.

Yeah. Vida Blue. Really? May's third overall. Vida Blue. She had sex with 100 British guys at once or something. Bonnie Blue. Oh. Oh, it's Mike Soroy's mom.

I think she's still alive. Vita did what? George Lindsay. I liked it. I didn't know what you just said. And Maria Montessori. who invented the school. Yeah.

But I wouldn't be quite as involved in the whole public school. situation if my kid were, I mean, maybe I would. It's your money, your tax dollars, but I, uh, I weren't a public school. But the boy may, may be a candidate. Okay, I didn't know if the boy was going to go there. Like, I didn't, I thought it was great. Yeah. When she was in it.

And I did know, like, there was a couple of kids that we knew that went there through high school. And I just thought that'd be a really weird experience if someone did that. But it seems like the theory of it is awesome, the learning at your own pace and all that kind of stuff. Learn at your own pace. And I don't know. Maybe it's just because I'm a fool.

But I actually, despite all the nonsense that goes on in the education politics space, I actually believe that we do a way better job of raising kids in school than we did when I was a kid. Basically all the stuff we've been bitching about over the years of like, should teach kids more about that more about they do all that now you know so like home and finance and and how to deal with life i just every time really way more and every time we talk to to about this educators hit us up like yeah we have a program on campus it does this that does this a lot of times it involves the business sector getting involved with the high school you know they'll have a job program at the high school they'll have uh a couple of our local high school they'll have uh a couple of our local

schools have like restaurants in the lunchroom like obviously that seems badass because you get to have restaurant food at lunch but also somebody has to work there and they have kids work there so there's way more examples of stuff like that now than there was when i was in high school which i'm sure was just as different as when my parents went although actually i you know feel like i identify older rather than younger but it felt like they were just kind of keeping us busy most most of time And I believe in where this is all headed to where, yeah, you're not going to have the small numbers and the finish at your own pace of Montessori. But I think they're doing more now than they were. I think the difference between public school and Montessori 25, 30 years ago was way bigger.

That is my conclusion. Especially if you're in a good public school, which I fortunately am. All right. Well, no, I mean, we could do whatever you want, man. If you've got anything on your mind, if you've got any predictions for the road. What state is the college grambling, the famous grambling college? Is that Louisiana? Yeah.

Okay, then I just passed scrambling. Oh, sweet. Yeah. I passed a city called grambling, and I didn't know. Yeah, now, if you want to, let's see, what part is it, Jacks? Huh? I'm trying to see what part of Louisiana. Man, it's not a part I'm in much.

But yeah, Northern Louisiana, east of Shreveport. You're just taking 20 the whole way, huh? Yeah, I'm taking 20. Man. Had some folks get arrested out that way once. Be careful. Or what? Drugs?

Yeah. The cousin and a buddy of mine, we were on our way back from the beach, the redneck Riviera. But now, you look like you fit in. You'll be cool. All right. Well, that's going to do it for us. We'll talk to you. Adios.
