Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, I'm professional broadcaster Julie Dobbs, letting you know that you're about to hear one of our free podcasts. But if you'd like to subscribe at dumzone.com, you'll get four shows per week, plus the weekend wrap up in any bonus episodes like our business Wednesday interviews. So if you forgot how to use the 15 second rewind, that's dumbzone.com to subscribe. Now on to today's program. Don't help me. Jake, the easiest way to get yourself in a new vehicle is with fairlease.org. 972-705-4815. That's the Dumbzone hotline.
Starting point is 00:00:42 I don't know. You got Connor or Nick asked for them. They handle all the Dumb Zone leases. They really did give us two guys just to handle Dumb Zone listeners. They sent us the best. Yeah. They sent us the best. If you call, the only thing they can't help you with is if you ask to speak
Starting point is 00:00:59 with a middle man. Not available at Fairlease.org. They're backed by the credit union in Texas. They are the bank. There's no bank for them to call so they can work with you on your financing. That's kind of the whole fair part of it. Now, the lease thing, they can work with you there too. If you've got a jacked-up lease with another consortium, they can help you get out of that. It all starts by calling and contacting them and telling them you're a dumb zone listener.
Starting point is 00:01:23 Fairlease.org or 972-705-4815. Fairlease, when you don't know what's. to do about a car as car stuff is hard. You don't need a dealership, baby. Hello friends, happy Monday. This is the Dumb Zone. My name is Dan McDowell. I'm Jake Kemp.
Starting point is 00:02:19 I'm Blake Jones. The four of us are joined by the CEO of our operation and the HR director, Kipp and Bodie, because today we broadcast live to tape from high atop my garage. Old school. And it's not a Friday. And there's no D friend here. Don't friend. No sit-in that has requested.
Starting point is 00:02:48 I need to go to the Mecca. I need to see where it all, you know, all the stories, all the things that have happened here. Yeah, that's where T.C. leaned back too far in the chair. That's where Trey broke the towel rack. I don't know. Sure. Different exciting things that have happened up here. and then sometimes people who have never been here before will tell them where things used to be.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Actually, Clayton used to sit over there. And we changed it all around. Anyway, what brings us here today, not at the gameday. Men's Health Studio, gameday. com. Might need a little break. Man. Easier for your whole.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Was this for? This guy's a point card. You just, we're looking at the whole schedule. Yeah. Like a little load management kind of thing. Of course. Not that we're taking the day off. It's just the drive to downtown Dallas.
Starting point is 00:03:44 I would never be like, hey, can we do the Monday at the den? I never would. You don't have to say it out loud. When I saw it on there and it didn't, it's like. You're happy? Your wife saw you having a long day and just went right for your junk. When does that happen? But it just, hey pal, different life than me.
Starting point is 00:04:03 But no, it's very nice to be here. It feels good the day after the job. GSE. I don't know how much ecstasy you guys have taken in your life. Not enough. But the general premise there is it's releasing a lot of dopamine. Cliff notes here. The next day can be a little tough because you're at a deficit. And at a much smaller scale, I think that plays out all throughout life. And I think when you have a big event, like the summer event that you edge up to, the next day, it kind of feels like you got hit by a truck. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Even though it's great. When you're up after 1030. Right, right, when you're circadians or... It's a tough one. When y'all have to come down from those Chinese cigarettes. Oh, I did get buzzed. See, I was thinking yesterday, I was channeling my inner LeBron, as I often do. And I was just kind of thinking that, you know, I guess maybe the landlord would say,
Starting point is 00:05:03 you know what, you don't have to pay me because you had the summer event last night. And that's why I went to the gym. I love it. The rent was due on Sunday. It's grabbed a couple pieces of broccoli and threw them up in the air. Start your day. That's glorious. I didn't really do anything, though.
Starting point is 00:05:23 I just kind of. You know what I did? Old manned it. I called you during this, but I went to get an oil change because that's the only thing you can do that doesn't really take. Well, I suppose there's a lot of things you can do. But it's something you can do that feels accomplished. that requires you to do really nothing. I'm glad that's open on Sunday.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Because other things are not open on Sunday. Yeah. And it bothers me. Right. I'd rather them be closed on Monday, you know, and a lot of times they are. I feel like my dentist should be open on Sunday. Absolutely. You know?
Starting point is 00:05:51 He's got a life, too. I know. Well, what if he takes Tuesday and Wednesday off? And you know what they do instead? A lot of times they take Friday off. You know, okay, well. He likes the NFL just as much as you do. Well, then Saturday, whatever.
Starting point is 00:06:05 I just feel like the, working class that we are. A little oil under our nails and all that. Own a business, but yes, from a stratification standpoint. It is funny, though, that some jobs, Aaron Andrews, troops,
Starting point is 00:06:20 when it's like this is when we need them the most, they have to work then. But you would never say, like, okay, well, obviously everyone's off on Sunday or Memorial Day dentist. Get to work. Yeah, that would be great. Of course it would fulfill a societal
Starting point is 00:06:36 They would be booked all day long. They would then charge you four times as much. Just money's falling out of their pockets. But yes. I got an oil change and didn't get hit on. Oh, because you were at the... No, no, it was just it was in the news. The oil change slash dog grooming?
Starting point is 00:06:55 The last, this same place, man. They must just rotate through employees because, yeah, they had about a year run where everybody in there looked like they played third base in a softball, of women's softball league. but no, it was right. But no, I, uh, yeah, I just know that was in the news last week. Big topic of conversation Saturday night. Uh, I went out with my wife and her friends after the summer event and the oil change text.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Wait. You guys don't, you brought it to us. Today and Twitter where that lady got a text where somebody's like, hey, yo. What did the ladies have to say? Because I ran into your wife and her friends and they were just lubed up, ready to, ready to, ready to party. That was only the start of the night. Yeah, I can tell that you were going to be chaperoning them around.
Starting point is 00:07:43 It was fun, though. The opinions were varied and changed. You know how it is. But for the most part, it was the Tom Brady meme. Looking at the back of the courtroom? They had to decide. They had to know what the guy looked like before passing judgment. Right.
Starting point is 00:08:01 The Tom Brady S&L sketch. Oh, never mind. No, no, but yeah, the dumb zone has been the ugly guy in the office before. It happens. But yeah, that's what we had this weekend is the summer event. I don't know how you want to review, breakdown. It's time to backsell? Yeah, we can call it our weekend check.
Starting point is 00:08:25 And out at the summer event, many of our sponsors were, but one of them was puddle pools. Oh, heck yeah. They had a little game set up that you were ripping. You said it wasn't based on skill, and that's all you want at your events is skill-based competition, so you're a little upset with puddle pools.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Well, I think we'll just make it clear next year, right? We'll have requirements, and it'll more look like a field day than a carnival. But that part of it, I have recommendations on. They got you handled on the pool, though. Puddlepools.com slash dumbzone. We're two Fridays in a row now, where my wife has had people over right after Puddle Pools was there,
Starting point is 00:09:07 and it's just you're showing it off. You just want people to see how clean your pool is. And, you know, even if I wasn't there, I would know how clean it was because they sent me pictures right afterward. Yeah, they give you a little report on the chemicals and all that. We had a chemical problem because of our old company, and then the old company is like, look, nothing we can do about this to balance, I don't know what it was, pH, something, right? And they said, nothing we can do about it. We're going to have to drain the pool.
Starting point is 00:09:34 And that seems like a lot of money and a lot of time. And puddle pools said, hold on. Let's try to adjust some of the chemicals we're putting in. We'll see if we can affect the water. And then they did. And my kid went swimming in the pool. And it was the first time anybody swam in that pool in months because, I guess, since last summer. Because it had been deemed as unsafe, but then puddle pools fixed it with the chemicals.
Starting point is 00:10:03 I don't know how they do it. Bringing families together. Yeah. at puddlepools.com slash dumbzone where you sign up for a year, you get your first month free, or you can go month to month. They do it all for you there.
Starting point is 00:10:14 The chemicals, the clean, and the equipment check, puddlepools.com slash dumb zone. All right, so yeah, the weekend check. I don't know. Clayton, do you got anything besides the Dumb Zone generic summer event? Or let's, if it's only that,
Starting point is 00:10:31 let's get your thoughts on how everything went. I thought, it feels like everybody was pretty happy about it. Like, people that I ran into, I did hear some complaints later, beer line. I think we get underestimated. I think our audience is underestimated. Yeah. Because I think last year that happened, even if no Jerry, big listener of ours, stock the bar. I'd think he wasn't ready for what, maybe our people drink too much. They like to party. Well, yeah, and I appreciate everybody being cool about that if they were there and experienced long beer lines.
Starting point is 00:11:11 They had like another bar right there and they didn't open it up. I don't know. That would have been perfect. I'm not sure. Now, Lemonade out of lemons, people were using their dumb zone community mechanical piss jars as pitchers and just simply getting full. Oh, nice. Piss jars full of four corners beer and then they were able to kind of lug it around. Yeah, we had one guy drinking it.
Starting point is 00:11:40 They're on camera drinking it. Many cases. I got several photos sent to me. And then Bo just used actual pitcher to drink. Yeah. That is a big man, and he can drink a lot of beer. But no, otherwise, your thoughts. Clayton.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Clayton Kimbrough, folks. I'll go with probably the biggest thing for me was, if you had the Middle East finding piece before Clayton and Henry finding piece, you would have lost. You guys worked together. Henry and I shared a cigarette, brokered peace, and the feud is off. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:12:23 So that was a big moment at the end of the night when I was exhausted. Wow. That's how he caught you at your low moment? You want a cigarette? And he said, yeah, I do. I had a cigarette. I joined a club. I smoked a cigarette with Jake.
Starting point is 00:12:38 First time in... Five-timers, S&L, Mile High Club. Oh, well over a decade, maybe two decades. Illustrious memberships one can earn. I was a drinking smoker, of course, as many people will be. Yeah. But that caught me a little buzz. I wasn't trying to inhale.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Yeah. There's nothing you can do about that. They hit different. Yeah. And then, yeah, and like now there's six people or so who are in the most exclusive club at all. they shared a cigarette with Dan and Jake. Wow.
Starting point is 00:13:11 That ain't coming back. And two of them are ladies who enjoy each other's company. Yeah. They were our New York lesbians. Yeah. With their loft. They're very upset that we're not going to travel there this year because I guess the one lady's losing her job. They have a 21,000 square foot apartment.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Like that's part of her job. What? Like she's given that to live in in New York City. 21,000? So there's some place. I believe so. I know that sounds crazy, but there are places up there. Or is it $21,000 a month?
Starting point is 00:13:47 It's probably $21,000 a month. But there are jobs up there where they, like a business will use almost like a whole floor. It is. It's like a Costco. But. How do they get that in New York? It's not that much. But you'll get like a whole, if it is through a work place, like where you'll live at a, the whole floor is like an office, maybe store.
Starting point is 00:14:08 also, you know. It is a sweet-looking law. They've sent us, and they have almost like conference rooms in it. It's huge. But she's getting kicked out of there, I think, in September, and that might be... Oh, damn it. Because they're gay? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:24 They just learned it. They have new laws. New York, you know, they hate that. Nothing hits quite like Waterberger after a long day of work. Boy. Clayton was just staring at the clock after the GSE. for 11 o'clock. For it to flip.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Yep. Breakfast. Yeah. I need a tequito. We've all been there. Oh, is that what happens? Of course. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:49 11 p.m. you can start ordering breakfast? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I was loaded up in my truck, everything done by like 10, but I just like was like, you know what? I need that. I need a tekeeto. That's our worst bit going.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Apparently at 10.30, you just lose the capability of making eggs. No, it's And again, I'll take this one as a business owner, Dan. But because I used to I used to trap, breakfast is my favorite food items in general, I'm a big egg guy. And so I used to wonder why McDonald's
Starting point is 00:15:26 couldn't do this. And they tried it for a little while. Do you remember? And apparently, like, from a cost-effective standpoint, they would have to almost double the size of the kitchen to be able to effectively pull it up. They can't do both. Where are we going to cook these eggs?
Starting point is 00:15:41 They can't, where they're cooking. They're out of room. They're cooking them where they're cooking the burgers. And they're not even cooking them. They're putting them in the microwave. But you're telling me they can't do that. Sonic doesn't have a problem with that. Yeah, Jack in the Box will roll 24 hours.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Those are both lower quality food items. Watch it. Whoa. Jack in a box is a lower quality item than McDonald's. That one. Your tongue. But you see Chick-fil-A, whatever. They can't do it.
Starting point is 00:16:05 It does cost more for them to do it. They would have to have to have bigger buildings. Or they would have to have more people like us who are real beaters who would eat bacon, egg, and cheese, all three meals if they served it. It's just not enough of us. The funny thing was I had, I go to the same water burger. Shout out Carlos. And he walks out to the car because obviously, you know, most water burgers, you got to drive forward and they'll bring it out to you in a second. He goes, hey, buddy, I put a couple extra sauce.
Starting point is 00:16:37 packets in there for you. Have a good night. Those are free, though. He knows I don't get sauce packets. He was like, you know what? You look like you could use them. I might throw some hash browns in there. Sounds like a meat cute. It does. My guy Carlos takes care of me, just like my guy Charles and Sonic takes care of me.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Take care of them. They'll take care of you. About 100% on meeting people at the GSE who just told me. tell me they, their favorite is Clayton. Then they want more Clayton. And I had to regretfully inform them that, you know, we get a lot of requests for different things. We can't honor them all. But I feel like Clayton is beloved. Beloved at the GSE.
Starting point is 00:17:28 They want more food reviews from Clayton. So eat more food, dude. Yeah. For us. You're shrinking. I would say if you know the names of the guys at Waterberger and Sonic, you're at least on. You're on your way. My guys.
Starting point is 00:17:46 I met like a fourth cousin, too, that I didn't know I had. That was weird. That was weird. There was a guy who's like, hey, I'm a Kimbrough, and I want to, can I meet Clayton? Is he around? I'm like, yeah, there's Clayton. Go talk to him. And Clayton, oddly enough, after the interaction, was not beaten down.
Starting point is 00:18:04 He was pretty excited that he got to meet the guy. He's like, hey, I got a cousin. I was not aware that this is like the Kennedy's. He's like, are you one of us? There's not a lot of us here. And then all of a sudden that one football coach getting in trouble, he's like, oh, no, no, I'm not related to every quimbro. The hell?
Starting point is 00:18:23 Yeah. We got to pass. Was it cooler to be with Brandon Aubrey? Or to be with the Brandon Aubrey song singer, the song guy, the, uh, drum the pitch That guy Mike Robinson is his name He's awesome
Starting point is 00:18:42 That was pretty incredible And he Didn't seem to have any nerves up there He's a vet He does not seem like a guy though That used to be in front of a huge crowd Or what I don't know And he just walked right up there
Starting point is 00:18:56 Stood there Nerves of steel Yeah if he was worried about it He didn't show it And I don't know Think Jalen Big time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:06 I don't know how this works out for you, boys. But if your name is Kyle, you're 40, you're white, and you just generally, like, look, you grew up in North Texas and you tell me you're a big fan of the show, that ranks as a point one. But the further you get away from that, we can get closer to, like, the one, the 100%. and 60, 70-something-year-old man with like a vet hat on saying, I like this show, it matters more, as does the, as do the cigarettes smoking New York lesbians. I was just thinking, there's my hundred. So when you find that guy. You got your hundred, I got mine.
Starting point is 00:19:45 It's pretty cool. And yeah, he was very kind. And then, yeah, my Brandon thought is, this is not a WHL. This is a true gay, not gay. Gay not gay, just noticing that that guy's effing huge. Like, I think if I... He is, yeah, you think of him as a little soccer player, right? It's because of his gear.
Starting point is 00:20:04 If I create a player to him like I was for my 10-year run on, like, NCAA or Madden, he could look like, you know, John Lynch or something. I'm not saying... He's much bigger than I think I give him credit for. And if you put, like, a visor, some sleeves, maybe a couple tats on him. He's a big guy. Right. You think kicker and you just...
Starting point is 00:20:28 Some of them are small. Right, in your head, you think of the past, though. Yeah. The little kicker. Right. And, yeah, he's... Martine grammatica. Right.
Starting point is 00:20:36 He's a professional athlete. They wear gear that makes them look smaller almost. Well, and he's walking around lineman. Yeah. Like, on the field, he looks small. Right. I don't know. He doesn't look...
Starting point is 00:20:50 You think? Yeah, when I walk up to him and he's on the field and all of his stuff, he looks ginormous. Okay. Well, I just feel like... The visual of seeing him with other players on the field, he's not the biggest guy. I mean, our specialist, if you put the three of them versus the other 31, I bet you they come out on top. Man, that's what they should replace the Pro Bowl with. Because Brian's a big dude, too.
Starting point is 00:21:15 They're all big. So the three. But I've always heard. Cowboys specialists against any three specialists of whatever team you're saying? Because I used to do this before the game when they all huddle up and talk. I think most games we have them. I think it's the Packers. The Packers has a pretty big specialist group, too.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Corrects. But I think ours could hold their own for sure. Brandon's big, Brandon's tall. We got an allegation. I think it might have been grim. At the end of the night was just saying he's usually like one of the tallest guys in any room he's in. And he said, it's weird. Like, among your listeners, he feels like we have,
Starting point is 00:21:56 The tallest listener base. Certainly of any other, any DFW-based program, radio or podcast. I like it. But just the listener base as a whole, if we were to measure everyone. And then take the average, it would be much higher. It's because you keep using the M-word. And so tall people like that, they like to- Well, no, but we can't get any...
Starting point is 00:22:24 Punch down. We don't have anybody to weigh down the other end of it. Is there a word Similar to midget for the tall person Glute? Or is it because tall is being cool? Well, the word is gigantus. Is it gigantic?
Starting point is 00:22:41 Yeah, but I'm saying, though, a word that we would say, Hey, don't say that. That's offensive. Like, I feel like midget somehow has become one of those. Yeah, I mean, I think if you were seven and a half feet tall, people would just be lurch. Lurch, right? But there is nothing.
Starting point is 00:22:56 like. No. Mijay. A lot of people met Brandon Aubrey, too, and remarked that he's a really nice guy, and it's not like he turns that on. It bothers me almost how nice he is, just because I know who I am.
Starting point is 00:23:14 And I don't like to know I'm so far behind someone else in whatever category. No chance. Especially in something that I could. Like, if I'm with LeBron, Okay, I'm so far behind him physically, but I can't do anything about that. I could actually be as nice as Brandon Aubrey, I think. Can I offer you a cope that I think is somewhat science fact? Maybe there's just something in my brain.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Yeah, tell me about... You think that you're genetically incapable of kicking that field goal, right? And you're right. But the truth is you're just as genetically incapable of being as nice as he is. In fact, if you lined up a being nice field goal, and tried to kick it next to his, it would go less distance than your actual field goal. You just don't have a shot.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Your brain's not, it's working against you. So it's not my fault. When somebody's like, hey, man, you're an asshole. You're like, dude, I don't, what do you, I don't play in the major leagues of being nice. I apologize. 10,000 hour rule. Right.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Society's not ready for that take, but it's a, you know. Second year in a row, we ran into the guys from the Dumber Zone. podcast to apparently do two podcasts a year. And I guess, okay, well then that makes it make sense. I was going to say, I guess they're doing well out if they don't need us because I've never been on it. Well, he said we're really lazy and we just don't, you know, we got kids and this and that, and how do you guys do it?
Starting point is 00:24:44 And we did like two last year. But then he walked around filming everything and I think they're going to do another one. That's cool. Yeah. So look it up. KT was great with the game show. You know, I'm about the execution, but no. It was a behind-the-scenes thing that no one really knows about,
Starting point is 00:25:07 but I think it saved our ass on this game show was like about a week and a half before the summer event. I mean, we had been planning this for a long time, sent out the questionnaire for Family Feud and all that kind of stuff. But we're trying to figure out how to, how do we make it so that the people there can enjoy the experience as well. Because like the Texas Rangers did, was talking to KT about it. He's like, well, look at what the Texas Rangers did.
Starting point is 00:25:39 They did a family feud at their gambling night or whatever the hell they call it. Casino night. Casino night where they raised money for charity. And I looked at it and I thought, well, if we had the Texas Rangers budget, we could absolutely do that. Because it was the podiums, the big screen,
Starting point is 00:25:56 like everything was great. And we're us. And so Jake's idea was, hey, call Kent Garrison. He's just good at this kind of stuff. I'm like, what does that mean? He goes, just hit him up. And we did. And he acted like Chuck Norris when he was on that boat.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Somebody showed up and they were like, look, we need you for it. And he's like, it'll cost you. No, no, no. He wasn't reluctant, though. He then was like, I got this. Give me a few days. Anyway, what was the final result I thought was outstanding? Like, I was so worried about the technical aspect of it all.
Starting point is 00:26:41 But they had a big screen. The winners were announced. You heard a sound effect. You saw a visual effect. It was, I just wanted to give a shout out to Kent Garrison. Yeah. Because he was not, I don't know if he was there or not. No, he wasn't there, but he.
Starting point is 00:26:56 No, not it'll cost you. It was very, very important. More like the line from Heat because he doesn't even want to be paid. For him, the action is the juice. He's the only football streaming couch guest who has refused to even give me the way I could pay him. Yeah. Like others have said, ah, you don't have to do it. But here's my Venmo in case he end up doing it.
Starting point is 00:27:19 But he just wouldn't even send me his Venmo. But it produced some great moments where if the board was still up there, we could then reveal it with the crowd. The Danacond. Number seven. Yorgers, singers. Number six.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Number five. That's not much of a euphemism. Rod. And number two. Winner. Let's go to round two. The band's up there the whole time. Yes, that was,
Starting point is 00:27:59 uh, euphemisms for, That was a hurtful question, really. I don't think I would have said any of those words. Not anymore. I've changed a lot. Oh. Let me do a quick shout out then for the title sponsor for the Dumb Zone generic summer event.
Starting point is 00:28:23 It wasn't indeed community mechanical. I was surprised that's not what Clayton led with because everyone, you know, has considerations that we have to take into account. and he probably is loved by the people because he spoke for the people when he said in February, we need to do this event inside. He might have said it last July after the last event. He wasn't really thinking it was going to be because of rain, but it did end up raining around 8 or 8.30. And I was thinking the whole night, like, if we had been at our other location from last year,
Starting point is 00:29:00 that would have been horrible. Or the other location we thought about doing it this year. Yes. But then the real reason Clayton was talking about it was air conditioning. And it was glorious. And yes, thanks to Community Mechanical. They said a bunch of people signed up for preventative maintenance while they were out there. Good.
Starting point is 00:29:17 And you can do it today, too. Isn't like now limited. Be weird. If you'd like to hit up Community Mechanical, how would you say people get a hold of Community Mechanical, Jake? CommunityDFW.com is the website. You can also call or text Travis anytime, 4669, 666. 7-2-90. Brandon Aubrey is a community mechanical customer. He had a very common experience where another company came out, told him he needed to have something fixed that was going to cost
Starting point is 00:29:45 hundreds and thousands of dollars. And they were able to fix it for like a hundred bucks. And now going forward, Brandon is a customer of community and the boys. It goes for all of us. We've had, I don't know, it seems like every time I talk to Travis, he's on his way to or from a listener's house for a changeout or for a PM. So they're going to take care of you. I promise you. Give them a shot. Give them a chance to earn your business.
Starting point is 00:30:11 Community mechanical. I'm sorry. I'm trying to 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. I never really noticed the tagline in that. Don't be a bitch, so pick up the phone?
Starting point is 00:30:27 It's aggressive. It's aggressive. But if you really brass tax it, What's your fucking problem? You know what I mean? Just call. Like, I don't know. People are busy.
Starting point is 00:30:39 You got stuff going on. Don't be a bitch. Car stuff. You hear me? What else do we need to bring up from the event? Blake, what do you got? Anything special to you? I'll take you through my day yesterday and then bring it back to the GSE because I, too, had
Starting point is 00:30:57 a dopamine high and hit a little fast food on the way home. It's feeling great. And then Sunday. handed a baby and a four-year-old and said, well, it's back to dad duty. What time does that start? When she leaves at 6 a.m. Are they both up already? One of them normally is.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Okay. What time did you get home? Like 1130. Okay, not too bad. No. I bet you were like, we'll get to it. Yeah. Yeah, because the 10-month-old is up early.
Starting point is 00:31:30 So we had swim lessons Sunday morning, which was, complicated by the rain. He was amazed, Brooks, my four-year-old, was amazed that you could swim in the rain. Yeah. I remember as a kid being like this, because, you know, the lightning thing usually precludes it. So whenever you got to do it, it was like, what the fuck? Yeah, he's like, it's raining. Like, yeah, you're going to be in the pool.
Starting point is 00:31:54 I'll get wet. You're already wet. It's just, whoa. Yeah. Gummy thought. Yeah. That's awesome. And so then I.
Starting point is 00:32:03 I hopped on the opportunity a couple weeks ago. I'm squarely back in Chuckie Cheese mode. They brought back the Fun Pass, and on Memorial Day, I got it 20% off. What's the thing you showed me the other day, your first down? A first down. This was a good one. So a part of the Fun Pass packages or benefits this year is every week they'll have a special deal. And to kick things off for the summer, they ran a deal for a $599 large pizza.
Starting point is 00:32:33 Wow. Now, they normally charge $21.99 now. Dang. And so we had no business going to Chucky Cheese last Monday, but damn it. That pizza for $6. That got us there. First down, baby. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:48 And you're already there using a pass that you bought 20% off. Yeah. And so they try to trick you in some different areas to get some of their money back. One of which is they'll sell you the little tiny souvenir cup, which they tell you. you can bring back and get refills. It's the tiniest cup they can make, thinking that you're not going to fill it up
Starting point is 00:33:09 100 times while you're there. They don't know you. They didn't know that Blake Jones is coming. They were wrong. Every other game I'm going back for, hey, what do you want now? You want to try this lemonade? Get some steps in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Sure. Absolutely. Thank you. So we did a little time kill Sunday with Chucky Cheese. And it took me back to, everything reminds me of him. him. It takes me back to my Angelo days. Oh, no. Because that really hammered home to me who exactly I was dealing with. Because Brooks, he has a part of the fun pass, he has 40 games to play.
Starting point is 00:33:48 And so, of course, the first 25, 30 games, he's hammering. I just, bam, I want to play this, this, this, this, this, this, this. But then it starts to slow down when I say, hey, you have 10 games left. You have five games left. You have two games left. And then, like, the first hour we're there is playing 30 games, the last hour is the last 10. But I remember with Angelo, I would tell him you have $8 left for this month, and he would spend like $6.25 of it. Cut it in half or spend all, like be better with your math. And he just wasn't.
Starting point is 00:34:20 But I was proud of my kid for just at least milk it for all it's worth, Bob, because you only got two left. Yeah, that's interesting. I mean, I don't know how that plays into mental illness or something, obviously not a planner, not risk assessing. No. But here's the thing. You could have told Angelo that for the next 10 years and given him the money every month, and it never would have changed.
Starting point is 00:34:47 So that's why when people are like, you just got to train and teach them, it's never going to happen. It is what it is. We're proud of your son? Yeah, very, I guess. So then, yeah, back to the summer event. Nice job Clayton. Clayton pulled off a big video production with really no other technical help.
Starting point is 00:35:10 TC ran the game fantastically. Snap was a madman out there. Michael Copeland was great. Henry was good. We had a lot of help behind the scenes. And yeah, I'm sorry. The three, four, five, six of us pulled off a really big production and I don't think we had any hiccups.
Starting point is 00:35:24 So I'm proud of us for that. We take it for granite, as you see on Twitter. Yeah. But it was cool. family came by, everyone was happy to see the boys. I smoked a cigarette with Brooks. He joined the club. Oh, you did?
Starting point is 00:35:41 Yeah, yeah, not his first. Brooks had a box of matches, and it made me think, could Brooks start a fire before Dan? Oh, with matches, he's not. So he has matches, I have two sticks? No, just in general. A lot of people pointed that out, like, hey, your son has matches. Like, yeah?
Starting point is 00:36:00 It's just kind of a weird thing for a child. to carry around. I don't think a four-year-old is going to conceal carry license. He just can't start it. I was more concerned about the Glock on his hip. Oh, well, he knows how to use that. Halo.
Starting point is 00:36:14 We read Brandon's book, one dream in front of the other, probably twice a week, at least. Oh, and you got to meet Brandon? For him to meet the soccer player that turns into the football player was a huge moment for him. Dang.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Can you imagine if he met Tyler and Kobe? You know, I don't allow to. Master Chief. Master Chief would be... Well, I showed him the Wardhog last year. Oh, yeah. It's got a cool life. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:40 He took a picture with our Dumbzone cone, and it's the hardest album cover I've ever seen. Yeah. And I don't know when your kids get cooler than you, but it's already happened. Yeah. I don't like it. I was thinking about this the other day. Because my wife was pretty cool, too, like in high school. And I was not.
Starting point is 00:37:01 but I feel like my daughter is a little bit of a nerd so we maybe but I feel like they're they're just taught they're all three cool and they're like talking about me this is how guys end up going Benoit but yeah the kid they're cool there's something about my kid my son in particular like my my wife was telling somebody at the event the other day that she feels like she's raising Rob Gruncowski
Starting point is 00:37:28 because he's just the way he acts I was just not like that man I was so worried about what people thought yeah he's just not they are not your mom had fun time telling me about you and Joe
Starting point is 00:37:43 and how your boy is way more Joe but he's also like 10 times Joe just that he's such a little spaz it's just I guess it's the confidence because I look back at pictures of me and I'm wearing tall socks with shorts and I look like a goofball. T-shirt tucked into your jeans.
Starting point is 00:38:01 But then he does it and he just pulls it off. He's like, what? What? Did he interact with Brandon's kid at all? Not really. Do you have both of your kids kind of the same age? Colton's a little younger.
Starting point is 00:38:17 He's like in between. He didn't, I tried to get him to realize that the baby in Brandon's book is this kid in front of you, but he didn't really want anything to do with it or him. But yeah, Cool event.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Too cool. Thanks for everyone. Thanks to everyone coming out. Thank you, Blake. You're the calm to my chaos. Good job, Clayton. Yeah, it's very impressive. It's very impressive.
Starting point is 00:38:40 A lot of support. The business thing. The business side of it is cool because, like, somehow those people all seem very happy. You're always worried about that. Like I told you guys, I was a really bad drug dealer. Really bad. Because if somebody was, like, having a bad day or something,
Starting point is 00:38:57 you're like, I don't know, man. And so it's always been, you know, whenever we first started this, I was not sure how, like, taking money from people would go. It's different if it's, you know, subscriptions or something. But when people give you money for an event, you feel some level of obligation of like, man, I really hope this just looks like we know what we're doing. And it's a proud moment. I did go out with my wife and a few of her friends afterward. We went to a bar in Bishop Arts. And
Starting point is 00:39:26 Did you imagine going to a bar after that? No, but I can, you know, at some point in my life, you know, that you want... Actually, maybe not, because even when we were doing ticket stock and stuff, it wasn't... You were past that time already, though. No. You had to be like in your 20s. No, no, no, no. I'm just saying, though, that wasn't all on it.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Whether ticket stock failed or succeeded. Yeah, yeah. It wasn't our ass. we wouldn't look like the more, it would be like, oh, I guess all these other people around, I had my thing, my one little thing ready, you know, but this, this felt more like, yes, there was a lot of worry all day long. I'd never sat around at 8 a.m. on a ticket stock day, just hoping the video works. Right.
Starting point is 00:40:12 You know? For sure. For sure. And did that release afterwards? So that would have, yes, I was pretty ready to get home at the end of the night. We just, we went to. But I didn't have three wasted girls. If they had invited me, I might have gone.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Yeah. Yeah, and we thought some other people were going to meet up. At the end of the night, Soroy and Christina did come over because they, she had a show. That's why she wasn't at our thing with him. That's why he left. But I saw them for a little bit and then went home. But you had a bar burger at 12.30 a.m. Like, what's...
Starting point is 00:40:55 I was worried... Did you stop for ice cream on the way home? Yeah. But at a 7-Eleven and I got a spoon from their little hot dog area and just went to town on a pine on the way home.
Starting point is 00:41:10 I was worried when I stopped drinking that bar food would go with, like, boy, this probably only tastes good. You know, people say that you only like eat that shit because you're drunk. Like when you're at Buffalo Wild Wings or something, not true. It rips.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Good food's good food. Prophets and Outlaws, Quaker City Nighthawks, that was a big deal for me. Just growing up with Sam and, you know, being around those guys for a long time. They haven't been playing too much lately, so getting to see them and our thing was cool. This morning, I had something happened to me that is a movie trope that I've certainly never had happened to me in real life. I don't know if I've ever really seen it, but I have this habit now. I've told you guys I get up and I go to the gas station. And what's awesome now is, and I think Trump is going to fix this permanently,
Starting point is 00:42:05 don't tell me how it's going to work out implications, ramifications-wise, but it being bright at 605 is awesome. I love it. It's the morning and you're just out of, it feels great. So I will get up. going to do what? I saw something the other day about... Oh, daylight savings time?
Starting point is 00:42:24 Yeah, I don't know which way he's going. Oh, okay. He's going to do something. Yeah, you hear that every... You've heard a lot of things before. A couple years, yeah. There's only one guy I've ever heard who's just like, what are we doing? All right, we're just doing it.
Starting point is 00:42:36 So... Yeah, but you have to have Congress vote. Hey, you don't. Just do it. I'm like, no. Just do it. Yeah, so I go and I go pick up an energy shot or whatever. Could I buy two each day?
Starting point is 00:42:49 I could, but I don't. I like going up there. I like seeing them. Dude, I can get you a great deal at Costco. I know. They have literally 7,000 of them for $4. It's not far. I like to roll the windows down and I like to get music very loud.
Starting point is 00:43:05 I start to maybe dance a little bit because that gets like your endorphins going. I just like to get moving. So I put a picture in the drive. This is what in front of my driveway looks like. you can see that there's a lot of divvits in the road that create a big puddle. And so as I was driving down my street stopped to turn into my driveway today, windows down, just singing, might as well have been, Wake me up before you.
Starting point is 00:43:39 It is Monday. Maybe a walking on sunshine. A trash truck came down the street and hit the puddle and absolutely drenched me, dude. I'm talking in my window, like, covered, like, ugh, hitting the face with water. Wait, your window is open. Down. My car windows were down. I was jamming.
Starting point is 00:43:59 I was bright outside. I'm all, oh, can't stop the bow. And just, dude. That is a movie trope. Dude, it, like, I don't know if the picture helps at all. It's not in there. Okay. Then no.
Starting point is 00:44:12 But it, yeah, it, it shocked me. I had to laugh after. Did you shower? Have to go shower? Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, it was like 6.10 in the morning. 6.30 in the morning. But you just happened to be in the perfect place.
Starting point is 00:44:27 They at the perfect time. Yes. Yes. It was, uh, I went inside, just kind of drenched. I'm like, you're not going to, you're not going to believe. What just happened. Did you get pissed? Obviously for like, obviously for a split second, you know.
Starting point is 00:44:44 But I think it would have been worse if you're on foot. You know, that's the ultimate nerd. treatment. Yeah. I'm just like, you're humbled. It was absolutely humbled. Yeah, you can see.
Starting point is 00:44:58 That whole, that whole like just center portion there just flew into my car. I did make a call yesterday. I thought I shouldn't go get my car washed because of all the water on the roads. I don't think it's going to rain again, but that'll just splash up all over my car. So I'm going to wait until today. There's a point. That was my brilliant move yesterday. In life, at least for me, that changed where I don't get my car washed to get the outside of my car cleaned at all.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Really? The outside has nothing to do with it. It's just how much goldfish cocaine dust can I get, you know, removed. The procrastinator in me sees it's raining nine days from now. I'm like, it's not even worth it then. That was a good thing that happened to me Saturday night. three of those women, two of them, moms got in my car. And the two other women were like, God, your car is pretty clean.
Starting point is 00:45:56 Crisand's car is disgusting. That felt good? Yeah. I once got my rental car washed in California. I thought it was just too disgusting to get in and out of. Okay, so two full weeks? I've rented, I've just, you know, all the bugs and all that. Yeah, I'm like, I'm going to wash my rental car.
Starting point is 00:46:17 I did it on the cheap thing. Yeah. But it's just good dude. I've done that after. It wasn't because it was for me. It wasn't for like, hey, I hope the rental car company is going to be happy. I did it like mid-trip. Like, I can't drive this thing as grossing me out.
Starting point is 00:46:33 I need to just run it through the wash. And I was made fun up for it. I've done it after skiing. Yeah. Yeah. That's probably to avoid the cleaning fee, though. Yep. Big time.

TX Trident.
Starting point is 00:48:01 From the wonderful world of sports, radio sports, scoreboard. Oh, yeah, I like that. Can I give you a, this weekend in Rangers? It'll be very quick. Sure. They won a series, right? Are you back? They keep winning series. They keep winning series. I don't, you know, it's, I'm back, I'm not back.
Starting point is 00:48:25 I have a hard time believing that they won't be in it the last few weeks in the season, meaning like within three or four of the division. But it's just because their division is trash. But they have four pitchers that rank in the top 40 in the pitching stat I prefer. just an adjusted ERA. There's only two other teams that have that, which makes it kind of frustrating that they let their offense be what it is,
Starting point is 00:48:54 but they got Seeger and got Langford back over the weekend. But you have a weak division and four good starters, the bullpen's not good, but it comes and goes. But you've got the starters, bad division, you're going to be in it. I'm very interested in the vibes now that Seeger's back. He went, what, 9 and 10 without him? There was a lot of, this happens all the time.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Yeah, and I'm kind of tired of it, but watching them play in St. Louis specifically, it actually... Just chipping away? As lame as it is to see. I know, but... Yes, they actually would respond to a Cardinal score in a couple of runs. They'll get a shutdown inning. They'll scratch the old insurance run that came in handy. Like, jocks hitting great.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Seems like, I don't know. I enjoyed the breadth of fresh air. And now that he's back, if he starts not... not hitting again and being all pissy robot man and then everyone, he drags down everyone with him, then I'm going to go back to not having fun watching the team again.
Starting point is 00:49:52 There's something to do that. Yeah, he was what, 0 for 27 or... If he starts hitting again, are they going to move him? Man, I just don't see how you can do it when your division sucks that bad. Like the playoff chances, I think you just have to ride with it.
Starting point is 00:50:09 But, I mean, he did. It was his first that bat up the other night. He had a game winner. You could really replenish your farm system. Yeah, you may have to look at it because they might be able to be fine without him, to be honest, right? Yeah, your three-year playing is wall cut at shortstop anyway. The way your team is built, maybe you could do both. I really wouldn't mind it.
Starting point is 00:50:29 Considering our continuing our Kumar Rocker talk from the other, or really from the whole year, he had a pretty good outing Friday night. As we've noted before, his best outing of the year was when they had him simply skip the first inning. and then he went two through eight. The other night he had a pretty good night, but did get up a lead-off home run in the first inning. So the opener worked. He nearly pitched a complete game afterwards,
Starting point is 00:50:57 and they have not gone back to it since. Third pitch of this game ended up. Why did they initially do it? Was it not? It is because of his thirves. He sucks in the first inning. So they're like, hey, let's try this. Maybe this will work.
Starting point is 00:51:11 It did work, and they were like, let's not do it. it again. The thought might be to be like, look, see, dude, it's all the same. It's in your head. It's in your head. Come on back. Yeah, that's an interesting thing. But if two or three, two out of the last.
Starting point is 00:51:22 They pulled off again and then it worked like they almost will have to keep doing it. Yeah. And maybe they go back to it because again. And if it is just a mental thing, well then do it. Play, do the mental thing. Like we would say if you have to get Tio the ball or whoever it is, loud, wide receiver, give them a screen pass early just to get them in the flow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:43 Yeah. How's that going to hurt? It's going to, if that's what you need to do to help things, then that's what you need to do. That's really, that's wild. I don't know. Who knows if they'll get back to it. But, I mean, again, he's the fifth starters. He's the only guy not in that, like I said, a top 40 pitcher.
Starting point is 00:51:58 And if he's good, they're great. He gave off the home run of the, the, I was unfamiliar with Travis Bazana, who is the Guardian's leadoff hitter. he's a little lefty white dude and obviously if you're my age it is very hard to not think about motocross legend Travis Pastrana if anyone knows one motocross guy you know Travis Pastrana uh Travis bazana almost went for the cycle Friday night and like the home run triple single uh had a pretty good weekend overall I'm watching the Friday night game on Apple TV, okay? I don't know who the broadcasters are.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Could I have looked it up? I could have. I like the presentation of the game, though. Like the graphics look cool. They put up like a strikeout probability. I don't know why that stat is interesting to me, but rather than like, oh, pitch breakdowns, it just said strikeout probability.
Starting point is 00:53:05 So when it's one and two, Yeah, but it also starts with the players' strikeout percentage. So the probability based on the pitcher and the hitter. Yeah. Okay, it's a 40% chance he strikes out. Yeah, that seems like a really useless piece of information right there. I liked it. Like, as the bat is proceeding, now I can see it go to 48%.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Oh, now it's at 30. He's probably about to strike out. Boy, it's three and one. So can you bet on that? Oh, yeah. Live bet it's three and one. I bet he'll. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:53:44 Spoiler alert, because I found some value in the NBA finals. We'll get to that in a moment. Okay. But Apple TV lets you listen to the home radio call. Okay. So that's clutch if. Oh, that's cool. Next time they play on a Friday night.
Starting point is 00:53:55 Because what I was listening to, I don't think was even the road radio call. They have their own booth. Okay. But I was listening to radio. So I don't know who these guys are, but in the ninth inning, the Rangers did end up closing this out after the Seeger two-run shot. I think this is Jacob Blatz versus Reese Hoskins. He gets him on a called strikeout here.
Starting point is 00:54:19 Swings him up with the curve. That's illegal in Texas. They got a check on that back door slider. That was excellent. I'm sorry. What's he trying to say? What are we going for? I don't think he's trying to say what I'm hearing.
Starting point is 00:54:53 absolutely saying it. There is a very popular Supreme Court case, Lawrence v. Texas, which set the law for anal sex regulations in many ways across this land. So just the... That's illegal in Texas. They got to check on that back door slot. That was... I think it's also playing on the Pride Night thing, made its rounds again over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:55:21 That's even better. Yeah. I think, yeah. Because, I mean, the only thing you'd hear, you'd say, like, oh, that's illegal in 48 states. That's like a colloquial thing or like, oh, that's illegal in China. But illegal in Texas, the only thing I could think of is being gay. Yes. That's illegal in Texas.
Starting point is 00:55:40 They got to check on that backdoor slider. That was excellent. Okay, so backdoor sliders. Nothing that reach can do with that pitch. Yeah. Are only bad if it's man throwing one to a man? but if a man is throwing a backdoor slider to a lady, is that legal? Or a lady to a man?
Starting point is 00:56:01 No. Okay, anywhere. Back in the day, yeah. It's exit only, and that is it. Yeah. That's a one-way, okay. Correct. So, shout out to that guy.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Yeah. I piqued my ears up. I'm like, wait, what? Wait, what? That certainly is not the number one. story sports-wise today. It has to be the Knicks,
Starting point is 00:56:29 the Knicks and the Spurs. Or Sorsby. Oh, go ahead. Want to do that? Brendan Sorsby was granted in injunction, and he will be playing in 2026, Texas
Starting point is 00:56:44 Tech's quarterback. He playoff favorites. He had been ruled ineligible initially for wagering on college sports. which he did a lot of when he was at Indiana, a whole lot of, including betting on his own team. Oh, really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:04 So how do we, so does this just open it up for everyone? No. Why? No, I don't think it opens it up for everyone. I think that's possibly that happens sometimes. That feels way more like Mary a toaster. This has been a tremendous ordeal for him. I don't think everybody wants to, hey, it's great.
Starting point is 00:57:29 cool if you because what's the outcome of that? Well, everybody gambles. Okay, well, you can gamble, but if you get caught, they're going to make you go to court. You're going to have to go to rehab. They're going to track your phone. They're going to have to. It's not like this is a good outcome for him. He gets to play, but I don't think everybody wants to.
Starting point is 00:57:46 So it's like, we won our settlement? Yeah. Like, oh, that's great. People, okay. Yeah, I mean. Yeah, still no one else will do it because the message was sent. And he could. he could still get hit with some sort of
Starting point is 00:58:01 what would they call it? Appeal it or whatever? The NCAA could appeal. Don't know how successful it would be because this feels like it had no chance based on the way it's written. But I guess they've kind of decided that he'll be worse off
Starting point is 00:58:15 if they ban him. Like if the idea is that this is sort of a mental health type issue that they're helping him deal, he's an addict. Because dude, the behavior he was on, and I realize like it's weird to be like sex addict or gambling addict. It's like we're just societally not ready for that. But maybe it's just not true.
Starting point is 00:58:38 That's not the true way to describe it. Depends on how you look at it. But when you're placing like hundreds of bets a day, your brain is broken in my mind. So once I started talking about it like that, it's also very privileged. And it's your football player and the judges in Lubbock. You know what?
Starting point is 00:58:58 That would hurt you if you didn't play football. Yeah, it's almost like it works the way it should. Right. If you have the resources. Right, but it certainly might not act that way towards different people. No way. In different locations. So it's just a two-game suspension.
Starting point is 00:59:14 That's it. The judge was able to hand that down, or was that part of the... Because this is all the NCAA, right? The judge has proposed. Okay, so the NCAA is just... proving time and again, they have no teeth at all. They aren't able to regulate anything anymore. The rain is over, right?
Starting point is 00:59:39 For whatever the NCAA used to be able to... Sure. I guess they could still throw death penalties on schools if they wanted to, but for what? Everything's kind of... Well, we're in a real middle ground here because... We're in between eventual regulation and... Yeah. It feels as if we must be in some sort of middle ground because
Starting point is 01:00:02 Like 20 years from now, what does this all look like? Probably a league with 40 teams, something of that nature, with much more codified rules. 38 of them are in the playoffs? That would be awesome. No, it's a, I mean, it's a big story from the standpoint of, I saw Tim Kallisaw had some tweets. that I was curious if Matt Brunig wrote them.
Starting point is 01:00:32 Because his point was, you know, I really don't see the issue if he's betting on his own team, right? Like, I mean, this is just a basic. He wants to win. Not talking about individual bets, scoring totals. Very Pete Rose argument. What, he was betting on his team to win. But the argument there, of course,
Starting point is 01:00:55 is that you might do other things. in the game that you wouldn't normally do in order to make sure that, you know, you could. Of course. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, first reply from Daniel Jeremiah at NFL networks, what happens when he bets weeks one to three and doesn't bet week four? Don't you think gamblers might think he knows something about injuries on his team? One of our listeners, Tim brings up, if I'm a starting QB, I bet on my team.
Starting point is 01:01:19 I double need that to win. If I get hit, knocks me out, or it rings my bell, but it's not obvious to trainers. there's no way I'm reporting that if I have money on the game. Yeah. I think the only answer is to make them bet on the game. Right. It's like everybody needs a gun, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:39 All the kids, all the teachers. It's the only way to do it. If everybody has a gun. Yeah. Yeah, who could have seen problems allowing gambling, advertising, and sports? Dude, it's overwhelming, too. It's getting to a point, too, where now that would, like, you can't. put it back, right? You didn't have this money before.
Starting point is 01:02:03 But now that you have it, they're like, well, we couldn't. If they were to ban gambling advertising now, how much would that hurt sports, bottom line? I mean, it would still be profitable, but it wouldn't be like this extra profitable you need. Speaking of that, I, yes, saw value in the fact that the Spurs go down O2. They entered this series as the favorite. They go down O2. They haven't been like blowouts or anything. They've been in these games.
Starting point is 01:02:43 They've had to battle back from deficits, but I don't know. So we put a little taste on the Spurs this morning. What's the water's looking like? It's like plus 335 or something. I'm going to triple the money. That's what I'm saying here. The Knicks lost this series at this point, that would legitimately do more damage to the psyche of New York than September 11th.
Starting point is 01:03:09 And why, and this is part of Brandon's a good person and I'm not in my brain chemistry. Like somehow I'm almost now wanting that to happen. Whereas I had been rooting for the Knicks. Same. But now it's like, oh, wait. Because you're an underdog. That's why. But clearly.
Starting point is 01:03:31 If you're from the DFW, well, I say clearly, the Spurs complicate things, but they wouldn't complicate it for me. If Jalen Brunson were not there, this would be an easy, easy decision for me. Absolutely. But the mere presence. Yeah, I do love little Jalen, so tiny. I knew him when he had a little bald up fist, couldn't barely say a word. I want to get on to more of this.
Starting point is 01:03:53 First, I got to mention tomorrow after the show. I'm not sure if it's Rick Renner or not, but I, I've finally got Flooring Direct DFW coming out here. We've got to get new carpets, new floors. The floors downstairs are ass. It's just terrible. FlooringDirectDefW. Dot com slash DZ.
Starting point is 01:04:19 Is that the website? I don't know. That absolutely is the website. FlooringDirectDFW.com slash DZ. Well, not everyone has that. Yeah. But even without that, you'll get that. exclusive five-star installation package, lifetime warranty.
Starting point is 01:04:34 They move all your stuff back. They're not just going to leave you high and dry. Yeah. Low and dry. I'm very excited. They're going to come over tomorrow with the little samples. They're going to leave you low and wet. You want to be low and wet.
Starting point is 01:04:47 You'll be low and wet. Because high and dry is the worst thing you can be, right? Or call 972-449-9-4-6. This is a very low-risk situation. They bring the floors to you. you don't have to pay to schedule that investment. It's just a little bit of time. They go over the floors with you.
Starting point is 01:05:04 You imagine what it would look like. And then they get the floors done and they move your stuff back. Best deal in DFW too. Easy peasy. All right. Did you want to jump in? Were you about to jump in there? Some hot opinion?
Starting point is 01:05:21 No, very tepid. I was talking to T.C. a little bit about this last night. And this is a supreme gummy thought. but it's Sunday night podcast are a little bit different. Sometimes I, one thing I like to think about is, sorry, Clayton, just kind of like who in any given second of the 8 billion or so people on earth, who's like kind of living it the most right then? I can't really describe it, but like, for example, when they got Maduro at that time,
Starting point is 01:05:53 it was whatever 8 to 10, like American soldiers were, like, who on, earth right then whatever they're doing is just going to make worldwide new what the most people are paying attention to it the most like when the president's doing a state of the union like and you think about jalen brunson in the garden tonight in freaking manhattan when they haven't won a championship in 50 plus years up to oh like obviously sports are going to make a lot of opportunities to make my little list here. But like the most pressure, eyes, expectation, energy, vibes just directed you. And he just has the stone face.
Starting point is 01:06:38 Yeah, it is interesting how the underdog has switched then. Because yes, now up to O. I think no team has ever come back from down to O losing the first two at home. I could be wrong on that. I bet that's true. I know we've had down to O. Sure. Are you saying finals only or ever?
Starting point is 01:06:59 At least finals. I don't know about, I would guess in regular playoff series that's happened. But I would have guessed it might have happened in the finals too. I would say this, because we're in a different era, it seems like it's the era where this can happen easier. Right. I mean, if you think about it in-game and then just zoom out, right? It just would then stand to reason it would apply to the series.
Starting point is 01:07:25 if the games can be flipped quickly because I don't know 20 years ago game two you might have turned it off down 14 they were getting multiple times I don't remember the number maybe it wasn't as bad as I thought
Starting point is 01:07:42 but there's no down whatever you're going to turn it off times have changed these days yeah you've seen like Popovich down in whatever the third quarter you know what I'm just going to take everyone off the floor here and we'll just be ready for the next game Yeah, I've been watching some Nick Spurs replays from the 90, whatever, finals.
Starting point is 01:08:00 And in one of the games, the Spurs got up eight. That was a huge deal. They were like, it's over. Yeah. But I don't like sports talk like this. But the streak that they're on in the playoff record that they might finish with is an unbelievable run. Was it 14 right now? 13.
Starting point is 01:08:23 13. They were down two to one to Atlanta in round one, if you remember. And haven't lost since. And they won 13 in a row, yeah. There's been two teams in the NBA finals who have lost only one game. I think one of those Warriors teams and maybe one of the Bulls teams, but I'm not, I can't recall. No team has ever won the title after losing the first two games at home in the finals. This has happened in the Best of Seven series.
Starting point is 01:08:51 The Mavs actually did it in 05. over the rockets. So they lost the first two at home and then came back in one. What was that? Oh, Tracy McGready? Yeah. And it also happened in 2021
Starting point is 01:09:05 to the Mavericks. Clippers. You and I. Oh, yeah. Terminator Kauai. But yeah, you think of those two teams and then you put Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, McCle Bridges.
Starting point is 01:09:18 It's just... It's a different era. Because clearly, I mean, Jalen Brunson, the best player on his team, Jalen Brunson not, I don't know, if he wins a title and Luca doesn't, it doesn't mean, hey, we should have kept Jailen Brunson. Of course not. It's not even comparable. Like, Jailen Brunson didn't have a good game the other night.
Starting point is 01:09:43 Like, Luca doesn't really turn in. There's never a time where you're like, Luca's not the best player. But that is the system. he's created. There is a time when Jalen Brunson might not be the best player, but you have to add better talent around Jalen Brunson than you would have to add around Luca or even Wembe we've talked about, right?
Starting point is 01:10:03 Yes. I have a couple narrative things that could have been a different way. Right now, the Spurs are too young. You look at the Nix roster compared to the Spurs roster. It's just not their time. They're too young. If you remember last series, it was, hey, they're too young to know that they shouldn't be playing this well.
Starting point is 01:10:25 That's why they're so free and easy. Pops. You know? Yeah, like before you know it, they'll just have a title. And they didn't know they weren't supposed to win the title. But somehow they now know. But it's just, it's a narrative after the fact. Same thing.
Starting point is 01:10:42 If you would like to check in with our old friend, Mo. The, uh, that last six minutes. or excuse me, from the six-minute mark to the 237 mark, San Antonio went on a 14-1 run. Yeah. So the Knicks are up 98-97 with 230 left in the game, and you're like, but San Diego or San Antonio was hard charging, there's no way they're going to lose.
Starting point is 01:11:14 And had they not lost, that would have been the, hey, they're at home. It's the crowd. Backs against the wall. They know they can't go down 02 because no team has ever. come back from down 02 losing the first two at home. So clearly, it was obvious. That's why the Knicks lost. There was nothing they could do about it.
Starting point is 01:11:32 They had momentum. But you never hear the momentum people don't talk on today. They don't talk the day after this game. Just like me, what was it earlier? You said I'm not counting my losses in certain. Oh, Cornhole. That was off the air. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:49 You'll hear a lot about my cornhole victory at Clemson. but we did a lot less talk after the state fair. Yeah, I mean, it's true. The momentum thing, you can't believe in it if you're on the other side of momentum. Because it doesn't exist. That's why you can't believe in it. Because if you go out and make the next shot, all of a sudden, you win. And they did.
Starting point is 01:12:12 I believe that there's that emotions and vibes have a contagion, but I don't believe that they have predictive or determinative value at all. And that- If they did, that Wembe- with 137 would have gone in and not been an air ball. Yeah. You know, you might even go so far just to go to the end of the game. I think things like experience while probably overbeaten for narratives matter a lot more than momentum
Starting point is 01:12:40 because Wembe made a few very inexperienced plays in that game and in game one, and it was capped off by that turnover in game two. Yes, the pass off of the back of Castle was. obviously a killer. Yeah, he had a bad possession before that. His last shot was a fallaway jumper. You might say it was an open shot, but it was from 18 feet for the 7-6 guy.
Starting point is 01:13:07 Might want a little better shot if that's going to be your final shot. So that's probably experience too. The coach also doesn't have finals experience. Wembe doesn't have finals experience or, you know, real playoff experience before this year. I can't remember it was sometime in the fourth quarter. Was it Brunson and Cass? that had words.
Starting point is 01:13:28 I thought... No, it was Caruso. No, not Thunder. Not Caruso. Who's the white on the Knicks? Somebody was arguing with Stefan Castle. But Brunson got into it with somebody. Yeah, I didn't see it.
Starting point is 01:13:46 Okay. Well, that, to me, kind of turned it because the Knicks kind of seemed to be in your face, F you. And they made a couple plays right after that where Bridges hit a mid-range and somebody else made a shot. And just that was when it was the Spurs maybe a little too young for this, because they didn't respond well to the chippiness. But I feel like, I don't know, this iteration, the Knicks,
Starting point is 01:14:07 they're kind of, I don't like Cat. I think they're kind of soft. Bridges is hit and miss. But they kind of do represent that like hard-nosed New York basketball. And that is kind of why I'm cheering for. Man, Bridges and Ananobe are both like. Ananovi's good. Guys that are on your team, you just love them.
Starting point is 01:14:23 Yes. Yeah, I think they represent the Knicks well. I've enjoyed watching this run for them. There's accusations in my group chat that Kat has, I don't know, like that we bullied him into talking different. I don't know if you watch. After the game on Friday night, he was the on-floor interview. I bet I could find another one pretty quickly here.
Starting point is 01:14:47 You know, for a little while, he was just, it sounds weird to say, but he had a kind of a feminine. He was zesty. People would say Zesty, which is the code word for gay black. But like here's... Don't take Zesty. SCBC. SEC, what you mean?
Starting point is 01:15:05 Because after all that... Damn, it's total chaos in... It was right now. No, for sure. Gotta be at a next level. Oh, my darn. Patient. That's all the floor.
Starting point is 01:15:17 A man fell right over me. You know. You ever see that? It's like a train ran over. No grace. I was like, oh my God. I was like, what? Did Retro make this?
Starting point is 01:15:28 This is him the other night. I needed to stop. You know, it's amazing. As you go through life, if you lose a parent, anyone's listening, you just look for signs, and I'll take any sign I could get, and I prayed to her strong before that possession. Same guy.
Starting point is 01:15:46 So you feel he's changing it up? Well, it definitely became a thing. It became a thing to a point where people are making, you know, little highlight mixtapes. He also seems to be talking about, like, his dead mom or somebody there, so he's not going to be. He is. Oh. Let's see how this one is.
Starting point is 01:16:00 Then I pray. You know, you would know what I'm saying. I don't know what it was, but I just. Oh, wait. Sorry, that's from game one where he's also talking about his dead mom. Oh. They're like, hey, do we have another note on this? What happened on that?
Starting point is 01:16:14 What happened on that? What happened on this guy? Just play here in the third quarter, Carl. What happened here? What relative were you thinking about there? Well, my mom. No, he's great. Wait, he's the MVP right now.
Starting point is 01:16:28 Cat? That's what, that's the consensus. He's playing great, dude. I don't know, man. Who would you make the MVP? It's Brun. The Knicks live and breathe Jalen Brunson. It's Brunson, if they win.
Starting point is 01:16:43 They got a good team. Yeah. That's kind of the thing. I know, but he's, don't, it's all based on him. Yeah, but it's how Cat is playing with Wemby. Like he's kind of going at Wemby. No, Robinson's doing. He's not doing what Chet Holmonds.
Starting point is 01:16:58 Holmgren was doing, and, you know, you're going to get a lot of attention. Maybe it's too, like, a basketball hipster to say, Kat, because it's weird. Like, you're right, Blake, that it revolves around Brunson, but it's not like Luca, right? Iguadala once won an MVP in a series. Yeah. With Steph Curry on that team. Do you like that? Well, like he's about to say, go ahead, finish it.
Starting point is 01:17:27 I mean, he's not Brunson where he's always. going to, excuse me, Luca, where he's always going to be the, I know, but doing everything all the time. I know, but basketball and sports is not just numbers and points and look at all the, like, go in the locker room, look at the vibes, look at the energy. I mean, when he returned from his knee injury. Sounds like you. They live and breathe Jalen Brunson and would not be there without him.
Starting point is 01:17:49 You can't give it to the big guy who's just hit a hot street from three. You're playing good defense. It revolves around J.B. It's him. There's no point to have the award then. You're just going to give it to the best player on, and that's really probably. probably what it is anyways, right? Yeah, yeah, it's an award.
Starting point is 01:18:03 But it sounds like you would want Brad Davis to have his number retired, just because everything, I mean, he was the guy. No, weren't they terrible? And didn't he have decent numbers? I don't care about numbers. No, he didn't. Do you make anything of this ISTock tweet? And he only did this because he said,
Starting point is 01:18:23 this stat was talked about a lot when Luca, when the Maz were playing Boston, that he had a, what was it, a blow-by rate. So as a defender, his blow-by rate, Luca, 58%. And then Istok pointed out, in the finals,
Starting point is 01:18:51 18 drives Wembe has defended, they have a 61% blow-by rate. And then Haralabob even, jumped in and said, this is a bit of a useful stat with perimeter players who often funnel drives into help. But when the guy getting blown by is the help,
Starting point is 01:19:09 it's worth taking note of. And I don't think we're here bashing. I don't think Istok is bashing Wembe. He is just trying to point out, like I like to do, is retroactively, let's defend Luca a little bit. Like Luca is not the just revolving door in Z.
Starting point is 01:19:29 zero defense that everybody tries to purport him to be like nothing nothing but offense and he can't do anything else no i think if if luka if you could hold everything else exactly the same this is not possible because this is not how human beings work but if you could change have everything else the same and change his temperament to straight up choir boy uh nobody would think of him as a terrible defender they would think of him as an okay defender. But because he complains a lot, then people focus more on the times when he's not trying. And, you know, it becomes more dissected. Wimby also has a higher blowby rate. You know, he is a big, so he's dealing with smaller guys trying to come at him, right? Like, Shaq's going to have, I mean,
Starting point is 01:20:18 I get it, but he also makes up for that a little bit in rebounding, which Luca does as well. like you're getting blown by but you're also a big body trailing in the paint for rebounds and for help defense so I think you can still block a shot if you get blown by that's a thing that happens to him like yeah go around me
Starting point is 01:20:37 I'm going to block you anyway yeah yeah I but that was the point that's a bad stat it's a bad stat but it might have got Luca traded because Brian Winhorse went on TV after that and you know Nico was
Starting point is 01:20:53 apparently all off season about, well, he looks, this guy's not healthy, and then what's he doing the final? He's getting cooked in the final. Whatever. Yeah, and dumb owner and GM are like, yeah, oh, wow, he's got a great point. That is the one thing holding us back from winning this series.
Starting point is 01:21:13 All right. You got some expensive tickets tonight. Oh, yeah. That's been a fun thing. Talk about that a little bit. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's, it's, I thought. the Trump thing was funny.
Starting point is 01:21:26 Yeah, I think I have it here. You can watch it on television. It's sort of semi-free to watch it on television, but that's the way life goes. I mean... Spot the line. You know, it's where life goes. So they, it seems like...
Starting point is 01:21:53 That's why, that's what makes him... Yeah. I mean, he's obviously a politician. They say a very skilled one, but that's what makes people think he's not a politician. like because he will be honest about a lot of stuff where other politicians would try to work themselves into a way where they well actually you know like lie about it he's like hey it's the business of the people it's what it is uh although i saw something this morning let's see
Starting point is 01:22:19 increased security for the presidential visit have helped depress the resale market somewhat yeah i've seen some videos of what you're having to go through to get to get in and it's crazy they've canceled a lot of the watch parties there's some bickering about who's responsible for that but yeah like the nicks are saying well it has nothing to do with the presidential visit and then the police are like it has everything it's because the secret service contacted us and said no watch party so that's why we're doing it yeah so but dolin is not a credible actor generally right no and i think it's jim dolin that invited Trump to the game and so he also will
Starting point is 01:23:01 tell PR what to say and how to say it and it's going to blow up in his face which means nothing in the long run it'll blow up as and people continue to think he's a bad guy and no he'll get booed very very loudly though tonight yeah and it will
Starting point is 01:23:19 bother him I'm not saying it will change anything and it's a no bag pulse not clear bag anymore no uh spaghetti Damn. All these dumplings I made. So that is tonight. I'm looking forward to it.
Starting point is 01:23:39 I have some other cool, at least one other cool sports story I think you'll love. But the vein needs a drain. Got it. The dumps are a dumps are. There are a lot of people out there making up rumors about me that are malicious and untrue. But I'm going to prove once and for all,
Starting point is 01:23:59 I am not a fish. Because I am a genius, I have ascertained, that fish have gills. Doctor, do I have gills? He does not have gills. You hear that? No gills. So I can't be a fish. And I'm a genius voice of the generation, so I'm not gay.
Starting point is 01:24:22 So that is that. All right? It's over. Now are there any questions? Do you like fish, dicks? Love them. You're a gay fish. You're listening to The Dumb Zone.
Starting point is 01:24:48 Hey, let's promote our TV show. Maybe there'll be some stuff from the GSC on there. I don't know. Tune in all week long every night at 9. It's called DZTV, and it is on something called Fox 4 Plus. It's a brand new station. They all new. Fox 4 Plus.
Starting point is 01:25:09 The all new, Kiss FM. but they are really new. It's only a couple weeks old. It's just got a little fist. So yeah, check us out on that. Another fine sponsor, I was just thinking during the break, took the dogs out real quick as we are broadcasting, not from the Game Day Men's Health Studio,
Starting point is 01:25:33 but from high top of my garage. And my wife apparently came home at some point. I did not know that. Thank you, Trident garage doors. Yeah. It's just, that's how quiet it is. And if you think she can sneak in, well, it's a vice versa thing, too.
Starting point is 01:25:49 You know, when I'm out with the fellas, yeah, doing some prowling, cougar hunting, if you will. So, yeah, I can just slip in undetected because of Trident. But I wanted to focus on a different part of the den, this part up above us. It is the roof, and it is put on there by Qualis. roofing. QualisGC.com. They were out at the generic summer event. It's good people, man.
Starting point is 01:26:19 And they have helped out plenty of, oh, yeah, that's right. At the generic summer event, they were signing up people for a free roof inspection. And with each one of those, they also donated $50 in that person's name towards the construction of a new roof for an 81-year-old widow who has no insurance. She needed a roof. and yes, Qualis roofing is helping out with that. You don't have to be 81. Your spouse can be alive.
Starting point is 01:26:49 Yeah, you could just call or just check them out online and get a free roof inspection. What do they give you for that? They give you something, too. They give you a t-shirt. They give you a t-shirt, no real specifics on the nature of the T-shirt. Like just a wife be? Well, we don't say that anymore, do we? What do you mean we?
Starting point is 01:27:08 But if you do end up getting yourself a new roof, you'll get a sit-in, which means you can choose where we do the show that day. Oh, what power. You'd be like Blake for a day. Because Blake chose here. But he did it for the well-being of the entire crew. Tell him the dumb zone sent you at qualisgc.com or 817-500-9-008. Again, what do you have to lose? Let the boy mow your lawn.
Starting point is 01:27:35 Let the boy watch your dog. Why, I saw a clip on that this weekend. I didn't. I was just, you know, every time I see his son, I think of, because Martin Hurleyhee is, is Tim Hurley's son. And that was the name of the sketch, the Hurleyie boy. I don't know who Martin Hurleyhy is. So on SNL, they have, I think they might have broke him up,
Starting point is 01:27:58 but there was a group of like three guys. What are they called, Clayton? They're kind of like the lonely island was, but they're on S&L. Please don't destroy. Please don't destroy. You've seen them. You've seen them, folks. And Hurleyhee was a writer.
Starting point is 01:28:13 Is that how they did the Hurleyhee boys? Yeah, Tim Hurleyhies. So if you're just wondering if you can only become the coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Or an SNL performer if your dad was the writer? He's funny. Go figure. Did you see the sports story? Oh, I meant to mention this about the Rangers.
Starting point is 01:28:34 I saw that they imploded a hotel in Arlington. Yeah. this weekend, which I missed. I didn't see the video, but I want to see it. It's pretty cool. Do we all love implosion videos? Is there anybody who's like, I don't know? Yeah, I'll stop down.
Starting point is 01:28:52 I'm sure you could find somebody who's against it, but I'd like to go. T.C. went when they nuked Texas Stadium. Oh, I was going to ask if you went. Okay. No, I've never been. That was like a Sunday at 7 a.m. What was this?
Starting point is 01:29:05 This couldn't have been prime time. Yeah, I didn't wake up early back then. It's probably when they always do it, right, to minimum. minimize collateral damage, but yeah. That sounds great. That's something I'd like to do, but, you know, they don't have blogs for, like, local implosions as far as I know. Would you like to push the button? Of course.
Starting point is 01:29:28 It's time that up. Or can you, would they let you? Standing out there. Time it up, standing out there. I was thinking, though, let you push a button, but then you run away from it. like Henry Hill and Goodfellas as he's running away from the... You have to dive? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:46 Anyway, they're putting in a new Lowe's Hotel. So when we say we're going to do the show from the Lowe's Hotel, you now will have one of three places to choose. Wow. They already have two, like, directly across the street from each other. And when you're... It's tough when you're hooking up. Now, when did they expand...
Starting point is 01:30:04 You know, when you're telling your sidepiece to meet you at the Lowe's Hotel? Right. Everyone's confused. Uber drivers trying to deliver your chicken wings at 2 a.m. When did they expand into hospitality beyond just like lumber and tools? It seems like a... They're trying to step it up. I mean, they see, you know...
Starting point is 01:30:23 This economy, I guess. Costco is doing this, and like, everything is everything to everybody, so... I want to press the button when they blow up the IMP City Hall. You think they'll blow it up? Or will they do something like, will they humanely put down? the IMA city hall. Couldn't they sell it for parts? Like this was one foot thing that was made by IMP.
Starting point is 01:30:49 Like Wrigley or like Old Finway or something? Old Fenway, yeah. Old Fenway, yeah. But like what if the pieces of say, this is where the prop B? The Denver Broncos have a player named Jonathan Cooper. They do. Alabama's own.
Starting point is 01:31:11 Sacks last season. Right? No. I could be wrong about that. The funniest of all the Denver Broncos outside linebackers. Ohio State. Jonathan Cooper. But he was arrested with his girlfriend this weekend after a physical confrontation, a physical altercation. His girlfriend's name is Jade. And she was confronting him with allegations of infidelious.
Starting point is 01:31:44 She's a little. Cheating. So her story is this. She confronts him, hey, you're cheating on me. She threw his phone against the wall. Then she grabbed it to read his messages. She says Cooper grabbed her by the neck with one hand, lifted her off her feet and pinned her against the wall for a minute, while at the same time retrieving his phone.
Starting point is 01:32:23 He then threw her to the ground three times, punched the wall next to her face, grabbed her, pulled her towards the floor. She said she couldn't get up. He threatened to break her phone if she did not leave. And then she took her phone, put it in his mouth, and ate it. Okay. That's one way to get rid of it.
Starting point is 01:32:46 She says the phone contains. irreplaceable messages and voice notes from her late mother and that Cooper knew about that. So he knew. He knew that you were... Dead mother's voice messages on this phone, and he ate the phone, and you're thinking, this is ridiculous. That's her account, though. Well, hold on.
Starting point is 01:33:08 Go ahead. So what did he know? He knew that you're a less than thorough person who didn't have your phone regularly backing up to the cloud. What sort of a moron has time? This person's voice only exists on here. If only they could come up with another way, I could save this. Sorry, Tuts. There's got to be no way, right?
Starting point is 01:33:29 Yes. It's saved somewhere. You have to, like, manually disable it to not have it in there. But before he ate my phone, he got into my eye cloud. I back up only to my computer because I don't want no cloud having my stuff. I feel you. Cooper's So you think that's ridiculous
Starting point is 01:33:50 That's ridiculous What does he say about it? He says The phone had ranch on it He said he held her by her arms Yeah And you didn't pick her up by the neck He held her by her arms
Starting point is 01:34:02 To get his phone back He braced his neck Against her to stop her from taking the phone He then admitted to Let me just read this he admitted to officers that he damaged her phone by putting it in his mouth and eating it. So apparently the only part of this whole story that they both agree on is that the most craziest part of the headline is that he ate her phone. I would love, I need a follow-up because, you know, I eat fiber, but the reason, you know, you want it.
Starting point is 01:34:39 I'm sure he threw it up. Oh, you think? Yeah, I think he'd probably. be tough don't you think and what kind of a phone are we talking about if if we're talking that he truly swallowed the phone he probably bit it in half and just started ah you're acting like that's like no it's not an easy thing to do but i'm just imagine like a scene from ballers you know i i really need more though yeah and uh this is one of those interesting if it was our training camp like are people going to ask him about it are they going to do Hey, when you guys get Jonathan over here, can we not bring up the eating the phone thing?
Starting point is 01:35:20 Well, that's the only reason I want to talk to him. You're just trying to figure out ways to work it in the whole interview. Top-ranked cell phone companies by their appetizing nature. Nokia 1. What do you got? How about this? Here's Jane with the dumb zone. Or no?
Starting point is 01:35:47 It sounds great. It's hard to say no. I'm sure somebody will be personally injured during this news segment. Oh, yeah, yeah. A story about them. And if they had any wits about them, they would call 214 or 817 and then 3333333 to contact our friends at the Frankles, personal injury attorneys. They will take your phone call. You'll speak with a partner, para gratis.
Starting point is 01:36:11 You will not pay for that call. They'll tell you if you need help or not. They're here to shoot you straight, not sideways. So if your phone is not ingested. Right. There's still time. There's still time. All right, let's navigate back over here.
Starting point is 01:36:27 Or tickle them. Tickle them in a way that it'll hit those numbers. It seems like this happens quite a bit. The idea that big companies do pilot or test programs in the state of Texas. We've talked about the delivery drones, Waymo, etc. Uber is rolling out a new feature. Texas is one of the states where they are piloting this. This is a new lost item feature.
Starting point is 01:37:00 So it allows riders to request a return trip directly through the app after a driver confirms a missing item has been found. This is... Like the exact same driver coming back? Yes. Okay, because that's always impossible, isn't it? Correct. That makes it a real beating to try to get that back.
Starting point is 01:37:23 This new system. When have you done that? You sound like you have experience. Yeah, I've done, man, what was it? It hasn't happened as many times as you think. I have had the same wallet for 20 years. Don't roll your eyes at me, Blake. But I feel like it must have been car keys.
Starting point is 01:37:45 Because I know I've done it, and it is a pain in the... They don't want to do it. Why do you have your car keys if you're in an Uber? Don't know. Don't know. But I know that it's happened. This is actually big for some of our viewers. Because the Discord was bumping on Sunday.
Starting point is 01:38:03 People left their piss jars and their Uber's. Yeah. That was a lot of... There was a lot of conversation of that. My wife left her phone in an Uber in New York City. Oh, my God. It was our first trip together. the guy didn't speak in English.
Starting point is 01:38:18 Bad deal. The way we ended up getting back the phone was another couple got in after us, saw the phone, but it's locked. So it was another 20-something-year-old girl. She just started trying her pass codes and guessed it correctly. Whoa!
Starting point is 01:38:38 Called me because I was a favorite. The pass code, I don't care telling you, if someone else can hack it, surely if you want it, you bad enough you can get it. It was 2-2-2-2. The chick put 2-2-2-2-unlocked.
Starting point is 01:38:51 Called me. That's how we got the phone back. That's incredible. What are the chances? Low. She tried 1-1-1-1. Nope, 2-2-2-2. Oh, why God it worked.
Starting point is 01:39:02 Okay, that ruins one of my movie, a movie trope. I don't know if it's on our list, is that they can guess passwords within, like, five. Like, it always happens. You're like, you would never guess somebody's password. It's impossible to do. That's my take before right now. Agreed.
Starting point is 01:39:19 And now I don't, I mean, that's probably not a real get. They weren't trying real hard. And let's just see if we go. Oh, hey. But I guess, yeah, simple passcode won me that one. Wow. What do you guys think you would get for repeated vehicle burglary? What do you mean?
Starting point is 01:39:37 Let's say that it. How much time? Yeah. Not much, right? Like you're breaking into vehicles at a hotel. you've done this a couple times. They're like, stop doing it. Probably more than Ethan Couch got.
Starting point is 01:39:54 Let's just say, how about nine months? 60 days. 52-year-old man in Austin. I was just interested in the sentence. Yeah. Several vehicles at a couple hotels down there. Tracked him down half a mile away. Like, what are you doing, dude?
Starting point is 01:40:14 How many times? Oh, you're saying. It happened, they said that it happened across the course of a week in multiple cars. And he did 60 days. You guys remember, hauntavirus? This is like we should count our wins, right? We don't ever go back and think about the pandemics that never became. Because health officials have confirmed that the two Texas residents that were aboard a
Starting point is 01:40:40 hantavirus cruise ship have completed their monitoring. period with no signs of infection. They had to go 42 days. They were checked twice daily. Oh, that's okay, yeah. I remember hearing like there was a... That a Q-Tain. No one's ever said that, and that doesn't count.
Starting point is 01:41:01 Feels good, though. No, it didn't. Where were they Q-teen? Utah or something? Yeah, where was it? They had some remote place. It was very remote. Like, just in case it doesn't...
Starting point is 01:41:16 isn't contained here, it's just going to get out into the mountains. Yeah. You know, like... It just floats away. They could have a quarantine place, like, where they return in New York or a major... But they don't. They're putting it out in the middle of them. Omaha was one of them.
Starting point is 01:41:31 Yeah. Yeah. Because then if it does break out, it's just going to kill Nebraska fans, right? It's only Nebraska's. It's only Nebraska's. Ooh, a student at my university. Is that Alma Mata? Is it Alma Mottor?
Starting point is 01:41:53 I would say Mauder. But what is it? What is, but there are a couple different words here, right? You're an alum, Alma, Moter, MAT, E.T. Alumnus. What's the difference between alumni and alumnus? It's just plural. Are you an alumni?
Starting point is 01:42:15 Yes, I'm an alumnus. Who? Yeah, alumni. Are you an alumni? That's part of that big group. A student. Yes, I am singularly an alumnus. To answer your question, Blake, which university, Texas State University is suing?
Starting point is 01:42:31 Uh, probably. That's where our senior hall was. You get a better degree in North Texas. Yeah. Less time, though. Less fun. Less fun. Well, you know, Texas State University students suing the school.
Starting point is 01:42:45 and a construction contractor after they fell into a manhole this manhole was connected to a shaft that was 40 feet deep and this dude fell. Did I see the video of this? Oh, is there a video? I haven't seen it. Maybe not.
Starting point is 01:43:07 It was on campus. 40 feet, dude. And it was... Where? There was no, like... They say that it was covered but that it should be covered. by something that if you step on,
Starting point is 01:43:22 your body weight is not going to be enough to plunge you four stories. So like it should have an elevate, should have had a cone. But the guy's alive? Yeah. Injuries. Quite a bit of injuries.
Starting point is 01:43:41 Seeking a million dollars in medical damages. Yeah, does he go there for free now? Or do you have to leave? Someone's like, ha-ha. Look at the guy that's manor. hole fall, man. I might step through a manhole for free tuition.
Starting point is 01:43:58 Dude, you're making a lot, writing a lot of checks. Yeah, manhole for a million? For sure then, right? I mean... He's fine. Sequential unmarked bills. It depends on what you... Here's what you want to know.
Starting point is 01:44:13 What will my life be like in six months? Can I walk? Can I run? Can I play minimal levels of, like, basketball? because I remember when my uncle, I don't know if this story is true or not, I imagine it is, but he was in the military
Starting point is 01:44:29 and he was like training to be in like the 84 first airborne. Like one of the, it was like 80 second. 82nd? Yeah. Okay. You have more than one uncle, I guess, because you initially said my uncle and I thought of the uncle you're always talking about.
Starting point is 01:44:45 No. And then you're like, he's in the whatever airborne. I'm like, holy shit. No wonder we lost Vietnam. Full able-bodied. But he jumped out of a helicopter, trigger warning, and he landed without, like, his parachute didn't open. And his, the lower part of his legs, like, what happens is it's almost like getting
Starting point is 01:45:13 wopped from the time he compressed. What is the thing, Weird Al plays. Yeah, according. Is that it? The bottom parts of your legs will just come up through, you know. So I imagine. See, I would roll. Yeah, right?
Starting point is 01:45:29 I could have taught your own. I think before you sign that, hey, here's a million bucks. You need to be able to look down and be like, am I a crab now? Like Omar. Omar jumped out of that building and lived. It's true. For a little while. Then he got it.
Starting point is 01:45:46 A couple of violence stories. A woman in Fort Worth arrested after police say she confessed as strangling her partner. A partner is a man or a woman? It doesn't say. It just says intimate partner. So that means it's got to be a woman, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:46:04 Yeah. It's just intimate partner. Oh, yeah. So was it in the throes? Strangles. Was it like a mistake? It wasn't 3.05 a. A.M.
Starting point is 01:46:16 Sometimes a little light choking can go awry. It's true. The fine line between light choking and strangling. And then a man in Irving. What's an age on this dude? I mean, I can see him, but it doesn't say in the story. He appears to be about 35. Attacked his mother and grandmother with a knife.
Starting point is 01:46:41 Well, in a car. And just made me think of, like, how late in life was I in a car with my mom and grandmother? Wow. Not as late as this guy, but I'm not positive that had you not put me in that situation at his age, if magically a knife appeared in my hand. How old is he? He looks like he's 35.
Starting point is 01:47:04 Oh, 35. 35 or around there. It doesn't say, but he's an adult. Way adult. Wait, so why are you saying if you got a knife, you might be sliced them up? I just can imagine that would be an incredibly aggravating and frustrating time. Oh, with them chirping? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:26 Says he was riding in the rear of a red Cadillac with his mom and grandma. They stopped the car. And, yeah, he went for it. Killed him? No. No. Just an argument gone? messed them up pretty good though
Starting point is 01:47:46 you probably should never do that to your mom and grandma oh interested if this made it over to I don't know maybe next door or Facebook Blake but there is a flower shop in Wiley that is drawing reaction Wiley's been in the news too often
Starting point is 01:48:15 feels like they're popping a little bit it was the ever since you moved there the principal Well, yeah, but then it was The principal who was trying to buy stuff at Freddy's of Hollywood for his Is that still around?
Starting point is 01:48:29 No one's saying Freddy's of Hollywood. I thought about that guy more than I should have Because He's to walk by there and get rocked. Oh my God. Jeez, this will last until I get home. Correct me if I'm wrong. You're going to say he should have waited.
Starting point is 01:48:46 No, I'm saying like Laundre is to kind of dress up the moment. with like someone you're kind of bored of in a way. You're saying high school is so hot. Why would you need to do that? With a high school, not, I'm not commenting on. But for him. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:49:02 You're, you're already leaping so far ahead. Like, is the juice not that she's 17? Are you not getting enough from that already? Yeah. Yeah. I don't, I was confused by that guy.
Starting point is 01:49:17 Anyway. That's a good point because usually, I mean, not like every time, but usually on to catch a predator, they would come over and be like, I brought candy, which is something like way more applicable to hooking up with a... Sodie pop.
Starting point is 01:49:31 About lemonade. Yeah, I think I'll be having the lemonade. Why don't you take a seat? No, this... Maybe the lingerie gift is just a... If you're going to accept this, you're definitely going to take the next step with me. You know what's going on now.
Starting point is 01:49:45 Okay. You know, but there was no sexual relationship before that gift. We're just trying to see if we can take it there. All right, with lingerie. Flower shop in Garland. It's downtown. He's got America 250 celebration, anniversary celebrations everywhere. They have, during that lead-up to America 250, also decided to acknowledge Pride Month.
Starting point is 01:50:13 This is that wily flower and gift. So this is a story? Well, it's only a story, probably, because they're getting... Is this? You said downtown? Yeah. Ballard? They're getting what?
Starting point is 01:50:26 They just said that they're getting like negative, you know, people are giving them shit about it. But who knows what that means? Next to the big cowboy hat. It probably is, right? Are we doing more of the, we're going to cancel these people that are probably involved with cancel culture, which I hate? So I'm going to cancel them? Yeah, I mean, the story doesn't even really get that specific about, like, what's, what's, It just, you know.
Starting point is 01:50:53 We've gone the opposite way, though, because it was like we're canceling cake shops for not doing gay weddings. Now we're canceling flower shops for celebrating it. Yeah. Six people were stabbed at Penn Station in Manhattan over there. What are you laughing at? Yeah, no, I know it's up. Go ahead. This is the flower shop.
Starting point is 01:51:11 They'll put funny signs up. Ah. And their one that populated here was, it's too cold in the doghouse by flowers. No doubt. No doubt. No doubt. A little marriage humor, you know. or Kevin James write that
Starting point is 01:51:25 Sometimes churches Cook with theirs Yeah I would agree with that You got to give them that Yeah If they don't take themselves Too seriously
Starting point is 01:51:37 I wonder Because I used to be able to Be the guy that did that When I worked for a restaurant Write the Science I didn't get to be creative though It was like hey Omelets are
Starting point is 01:51:53 You know on sale this week or something. But imagine if you got that created, like, that's a lot of power. No, yeah. I mean, that's one of the big punchlines in that one Bill Burr special. And it's about Jerry's bar, Jerry Elliott's bar. What was it? It was that they made like national news because they had the sign outside the bar that said,
Starting point is 01:52:19 I like my beer like I like my violence. Domestic. And Bill Burr talked about it? Yeah. I remember that being a big story. It was on the news. And, you know, he has an entire bit about how many people probably went home and beat the shit out of their wives after they walked by that bar and saw that sign. These gas prices are why the armies in Revelation are riding horses.

You're going to have to read some, you're going to have to get some references, but the talent's there. A couple of viewer mail birds. We have... Dude, let me say something real quick about that. So we scrapped America's next Top Angelo.
Starting point is 01:54:58 And this guy was telling us that he was going to come in and do stand-up for one minute because he goes on the road and does stand-up. So he gave me his pitch. He did his minute? Basically. He knows how to get up there and do it. It's not my cup of tea. No offense.
Starting point is 01:55:16 His name is Richard. He goes by Dick. And that's a big part of his dick. But he's a big guy. And he said he travels for work. It does mics when he travels. He's like, yeah, I'll do it in Europe. And he's like, let me tell you, they love it.
Starting point is 01:55:35 They love dick jokes? Like you're a, he's like, you walk out there. If you're just an American guy, accent, like, you look like this, they can't get enough. It made me think, like, man, that's fucking cheating. Like, that'd be so much fun, though. just to go somewhere where you sound funny and see how much funnier you are to people. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:56:02 Maybe you could do it in Brazil this year, Blake, when you go. Hey. I don't think I'm going. Dear Slender Dan. Slanderdin. Slendredden. Riding to request a shout-out on my 59th birthday today. 6-867.
Starting point is 01:56:20 Or 6-8-67. That's right. Long time listeners since you showed up on the scene in Dallas, big fan of the show, wondering if you can make an entire storyline video of Angelo and Blake. I still really miss Dutch. That's from Israel Hill. What's up with Dutch, man?
Starting point is 01:56:43 He died. What about a video montage of all the stories of Angelo and Blake? Sounds like a lot of work. But a good idea that we'll consider... You want me to do it? No. I just want you to say it's going to get done by someone else. Maybe Henry can do it.
Starting point is 01:57:07 I'd like to have it animated. And I want a voice. Yeah. Dear squirt slurper and fellow. I don't like that. What is that? And fellow Ohio University alumni. So he says alumni.
Starting point is 01:57:26 He's a part of the... I don't know. He's saying fellow... I don't care. But you're the one who asked, and then you get really mad when we start to answer it. What's wrong with you, dude? Are you all right?
Starting point is 01:57:38 I just want somebody to molest me for $20 million. I thought about that a lot more over the weekend, and you're more wrong with every passing moment. I don't think I am. Could I do it for $20? No. Okay. Do whatever you want to Blake's-Brott.
Starting point is 01:57:55 He just wants to be rich. Today is my- You'd be out of debt. You could live in Hawaii. What do you want? You can have it. Bro, it's not worth it, man. telling you, it's not worth it. I'm not trying to do like a serious talk or whatever, but your
Starting point is 01:58:07 life is good. And I would even almost go so far as to say if you took the rape and the child abuse out. I think, dude, you heard Akash's special. You're saying giving me $20 million would be almost as worse as getting raped? No, I'm saying just switching with Bieber even without having to wake up to Diddy's Boner. I just think life at a certain point of money and people know knowing who you are and stuff. It's not fun anymore. I think there's a reason all those people go fucking nuts. That's not good.
Starting point is 01:58:40 You need to pick some guy you've never heard of. Famous people. I'm saying you need to pick somebody you've never heard of before. I think you only remember the bad ones. Nah, I think it's a higher proportion than the average person. I think if you want to pick somebody to trade with, you just need to pick some slap dick finance guy that nobody's ever heard of. More of our listeners.
Starting point is 01:58:59 Like Cubans partner? Yeah. One of our listeners, for real. who has like a great job. Nobody knows who they are. Nobody. I just want to pay off my house and stuff. I'd like to pay off my house, man,
Starting point is 01:59:10 but I like being able to, I don't know, do stuff. Like slurp squirt? Like, I think there's a chance Brandon Aubrey at some point gets kind of beaten. Like over the next like five years. Where he doesn't want to go to Target or whatever.
Starting point is 01:59:27 You think Irvin does that every time he wants to go to, well, he loves people fucking with him. So probably. but Dax not doing that. Remember, like, you used to hear about, like, Troy Aitman, even in the 90s. It would sound like a grocery list. And that's why hockey players love playing for the Dallas stars.
Starting point is 01:59:43 Yeah. Then go to Central Market, who knows who they are. But if they play in Montreal. I don't know, man. I think at some point, you can't spend your way out of people messing with you. Today is my Adrian Beltray birthday.
Starting point is 01:59:58 My leaders are Jake shitting on Aggies, the MBR, and sit-in' who don't over talk. Jocci Lane's shirt. That was great. No. Lean into it, bud. I guess Lane and his partner got a lot of heat
Starting point is 02:00:11 for talking too much during their sit-in. And he had a shirt that said something to the effect of, I'm sorry I talk so much during my 690 sit-in. The back of his shirt said W.H.L. The Ingrams. They know. For this year's edition of Dan does other stuff, Dan does voiceover for political attack ads
Starting point is 02:00:35 More Julie, more book and TV reviews Okay, that's kind of funny I don't get it We have a We have a Dan's other jobs list Of what if Dan was in World War II And you're Yeah

Starting point is 02:01:03 It's up to you. Is this published somewhere that I don't know? Listen, not all lists make it, but I have it. It's kind of a ticket carryover from Gordon doing Dan diffuses a bomb. Okay. All right. But like you're wearing grounding shoes while you're on a France beach. France Beach.
Starting point is 02:01:24 You're handed an MRI. I feel like I've got dip in my teeth. Where's the salmon MRE? What do you think the... Where's my sleep mask? Yeah, what do you... I brought my own blanket over here. What do you have?
Starting point is 02:01:39 McDowell brought a pillow. Yeah, I don't know if I'd do good in trench warfare. Guys, I got to go to bed by nine. God. Can you all turn the bombing off? I'm not changing my clocks. Playing wordle. I'm on Texas time.
Starting point is 02:01:55 Yeah, that's good. This guy doesn't wake up until... More Julie, more book and TV reviews. Less Blake complaining about everything. I'm sorry. Thanks and go Knowles from Tucker. Sorry, Tucker. Ironically, it took him complaining to get that point across.
Starting point is 02:02:16 Game Day Men's Health presents on this day in history. You know, Game Day was out at the generic summer event as well. And hopefully you got to meet some of those people. 12 area locations they gave out some $200 gift cards that are good at any of those locations so hopefully you got one of those if you didn't stop by and you will get 10% off everything I used to think it was just the TRT you're saying they're going to they're going to discount you everything at game day dot dumbzone.com yeah so that'll go for the peptides some people the TRT thing one it's for males only so that

And they have a bunch of different versions and blends. If you're looking to lose weight, obviously people know about that one. Do they have the Purple Cush blend? Yeah, they just got in the Maui-Wawi peptides, more of a sativa blend. Yeah, it keeps you going.

So just get in now and get 10% off at gameday.dumzone.com. Today is Monday, June 8th. On this day, Ives McAfee got a patent for the first ever vacuum cleaner. this day in 1869, he called it a sweeping machine. That's what it was called back then. That's pretty awesome.
Starting point is 02:04:05 This day in 1920, a baseball player was ejected for sleeping on the field. It was Reds centerfielder Ed Roush. Piss drunk. Well, apparently there was like, like something over a ground rule double, an argument was taking place. And it was lengthy. And the guy, I guess, just kind of laid down in the outfield with his head rested against the fence. And then so then everybody gets back together.
Starting point is 02:04:41 Like once the argument, it was like 10 or 15 minutes. Once the argument was over and everything was settled, they were like play ball. And then the guy in the outfield is still laying there. And apparently he actually fell asleep. So you kick him out of the game? Yeah. Why does it hit it at him? What's the problem?
Starting point is 02:04:57 Ejected for delay of game. On this day in 1966, a secret meeting was held between Clark Hunt. You guys think there'll be any delay of games tonight? Like the streaker or fake streaker would count. But like, do you think the game starts on time? Yeah. There was a tennis match or something he went to recently that they had to push back an hour. Oh, because of Trump.
Starting point is 02:05:25 Yeah. In New York? His McDonald's order was late. We've got to push this back. Right, he didn't hit Express directly when he ordered his. The trick is to say I'm at the restaurant before you get there, so it's ready. A real one knows. Blake's eating tips.
Starting point is 02:05:45 Not Clark Hunt. Lamar Hunt. Lamar Hunt and TechSram met, and the eventual result would be the merger of the NFL and the AFL four years later. On this day in 1995, Mickey Mantle in a Dallas hospital got a liver transplant. What year? 1995. My mom said he was the rudest person she'd ever met. Really?
Starting point is 02:06:16 When did he quit drinking? I don't know, but he died two months after now, so the liver didn't really help things too much. Where would your mom meet Mickey Mantle? Baylor, downtown. Oh. Did he go there a lot when he was, like, old? I guess she does, she's a sonogram tech, so I would imagine she's scanned him at some point. What year did he died, Dan?
Starting point is 02:06:42 1995. He quit in January and 94. So, said he hit rock bottom at a charity event in 93. Boy, that one. You've already lasted longer than him. He's way in my rear view mirror. Because that's definitely a thing everybody with a problem does. You look up like when famous people that you knew were alcoholics or whatever quit.
Starting point is 02:07:08 And you're like, I'm not too far like that. That's good. The president had a good life. Then you start running out of people. Yeah. I'm older than they were. Well, he's got to be an old man right there, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:07:26 What a beating that last year, dude. What are you doing? Like you might as well just drank? Keep going, buddy. Well, he was thinking if he stopped, he has another good decade or 20 years. And then he only got a year. Yeah. Get that fake liver.
Starting point is 02:07:45 Like Summerall, I think, lasted a few years. A good while after that liver. 5 to 10, maybe. Yeah. On this day in 1999, President Clinton announces new restrictions aimed at making it tougher for teens to sneak into R-rated movies. Oh, good. Now, I was really... reading this morning, does the timeline match up?
Starting point is 02:08:09 It said this was in response to things like Columbine. Yeah. It was two months prior. So this is two months prior to Columbine? No, it was in April of 99. Oh, okay. So yeah, amongst all of the discussions
Starting point is 02:08:28 like Marilyn Manson is one, right? But violence in movies. So if we could make it so that 17-year-olds have to show an ID, to get into an R-rated movie, that can stop these school shootings. Mission accomplished. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:08:46 Yeah, Eminem, Marilyn Manson. And actually, apparently that wasn't the case. On this day in 2012, you don't want to laugh at this, folks. I was thinking of something else that I heard yesterday. Because in Egypt, women held a march demanding an end to sexual harassment. So that sounds good, right?
Starting point is 02:09:21 But on this day in 2012, in Egypt, a mob of hundreds of men assaulted women that were holding a march demanding an end to sexual harassment. They didn't do it sexually, I guess. You weren't marching to stop assaults. It was just harassment. Not to fold this into a Columbine thing, but that kind of feels like Dave Chappelle's school shooter bit.
Starting point is 02:09:47 Like, hey, they'll all be right here. What if we, we're having a, this is what we'll do if there's a school shooter. We're all going to go in the cafeteria. Yep. All right. As school, potential school shooters like. All right, so where are you guys going to be the ones that we keep assaulting? And it's sometimes hard for us to find.
Starting point is 02:10:07 Where are the teachers going to hide? Yeah. Well, they'll be over, okay. Where will the science teacher in particular be, the guy that gave me a D? Yeah. And I bet you, I mean, excuse me for saying this, but I'm betting a mob assault of a group of women in the Middle East unfolds pretty differently than in the West. And on this day in 2019, Adrian Beltray gets his number, retired. by the Texas Rangers
Starting point is 02:10:41 becoming the fourth number, Blake, who are the other three? Oh, man. This should be a layup for Blake, huge Ranger fan, goes to every opening day. Anytime we try to say anything
Starting point is 02:10:54 about the Rangers, he's like, let me step in. Give me 34, 7, 19? I think you'll never get the other one. Tell me who wore the other one. And it's not 19.
Starting point is 02:11:16 This also might be, I'm going to call right now. This is a Mark Cuban Kobe Bryant decision. I'm retiring this number. I don't think this number should be retired by the Texas Rangers. Hold on. I would like to hear Jared yell at me about that. Who died?
Starting point is 02:11:37 Ken Kamenetti or something? Because we have Nolan Ryan, Pudge Rodriguez, Adrian Beltray, and Johnny Oates. He was the manager of the first team that ever went to the playoffs. Let's take a look at the playoff record. Just saying. Yeah, but at least 12 teams didn't make it like they do now. True.
Starting point is 02:12:10 The handoff. June 8th, this day in Dumb Zone history. In 2021, Jake explained to Dan why when you get taken to jail, why you have to touch your toes and cough. Dan didn't believe you did this in studio. You stood up and did it. He goes, hey, look, there's my butt hole open. Oh, I guess I can't clench it if I'm touching my toes.
Starting point is 02:12:45 That was a good moment. I don't want to go back to jail. And then this. So we got, we were kind of obsessed with this as became a drop. This is the full. This is a guy that did radio in Arkansas, and early days of the transfer portal, I guess. Anyway, they had a catcher come in,
Starting point is 02:13:08 who had transferred in and was not having a good year, went on to say that it's tough to play in Arkansas, blah, blah, blah. This guy during radio, Derek Ruskin, took major offense to this guy, and it's hilarious. I'll say it. And I wouldn't say this about a young player, but Michael Turner is a fifth year graduate guy from Kent State.
Starting point is 02:13:30 He's a stupid ass, the catcher for the Arkansas Razorback. All right, listen to this guy. Listen to the question and the answer, okay? He's going to say it, I don't want to hear it. Here's his response. Okay, first of all, you're not a Razorback. You've been here one.
Starting point is 02:13:43 You're a rental player, and you've sucked. So thanks for nothing, first of all. Secondly, as a rental player, you do not get to come in here and criticize this fan base. You stupid ass. Not a chance. Was that another okay?
Starting point is 02:13:59 Stupid ass. Not a chance. The question was about what's wrong with the team, and you used the entire answer to take a swing at this fan base? You're a disgrace, Michael Turner. You're a disgrace. You should not get to wear that uniform again. He's fired up, man.
Starting point is 02:14:20 What happened to that guy? He apologized and was suspended. I'll say it. I'll say it. I'll say it. I'll say it. I love the idea that, like, the fact that the guy's 23, right? Not 19, not 20.
Starting point is 02:14:37 That's a huge difference. Okay. A cool player. Stupid ass. You're going to come in here and tear apart the fabric of Razorback Baseball. That's not who I am. You think I won't. Sulted my pastor.
Starting point is 02:14:52 But I'll say it. Okay. He's a stupid ass. Other birthdays today, Bryant Reeves, is 52. Big country. Tyson Baygent, 26. Why did I get it really into him? He started a couple games and did great.
Starting point is 02:15:15 I thought there were some allegations, or there was some training camp talk, like, yeah, he's looking pretty good. There was. But was that just the coach? That was before Caleb. Had to be. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:15:26 But he's from nowhere? No, there's a reason we were really into this. It's his dad or something. Remember? Yeah, his dad is a 28-time world champion arm wrestler. This was on Hard Knocks. And his dad also, like... So that was Caleb.
Starting point is 02:15:44 Calls into the radio shows. And rips people. It rips the coaches and stuff. If you're a professional arm wrestler, you're going to call into radio shows, right? Yeah. This is great. Not every radio show caller is a professional arm wrestler,
Starting point is 02:16:08 but every professional arm wrestler. Yeah, that's good. Fisher DeBerry is 88. Fisher DeBerry, look him up, was an Air Force coach. Yeah, he created... TCU kicked their ass back in the early 2000s. Yeah. And his post-game quotes about that game were like,
Starting point is 02:16:30 They have a lot of African Americans, and they're really fast. Like, we need some of those. Like, for real. Oh, yeah. That doesn't mean that Caucasian kids and other dissents can't run, but it's very obvious to me that they run extremely well. Eddie, at the time, he's a really old, like, it's as if he saw his first black person in the year 2000.
Starting point is 02:16:55 Now, he was the Air Force coach, so that may be true. I forgot his dad also started the rumor that most of the Bears players wanted Baygent to start over Caleb Williams. Yeah, stuff like that. Clayton Liv Morgan is 32. Wrestler, women's champion on Raw. That's what the internet told me too. So I figured you'd like it. Don't like her.
Starting point is 02:17:26 No. No, why? It appears to be an attractive young lady. Oh, she's mean. Good head on her shoulders. Sturgle Simpson is 48 I would never try to push anything on Dan musically
Starting point is 02:17:44 but I think he could enjoy that I would like Sturgle Simpson It's country-ish But only in the way that like Quaker City is Quaker City's country is Well my wife asked me the next day She was like well what kind of music does Quaker City play I was like
Starting point is 02:18:01 I don't know She's like, did you listen to them? I go, yeah. She goes, did you like it? Yeah. What kind of, what genre? I go, I don't know. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:18:12 I don't really know what you would say. Old musical artist portion of the show here. Nancy Sinatra is 86. Boscags is 82. Chuck Nigran from Three Dog Night is 84. And Nick Roe. Two more. Nick Rhodes, Duran Duran is 64.
Starting point is 02:18:38 Bonnie Tyler is 75. She's saying totally clips of the heart. Keenan Ivory Wayans is 68. Which one? I think he might have had a talk show that I used to watch. I think he's the oldest one, kind of the ringleader. I thought Damon is the oldest. No, wait, you're right.
Starting point is 02:19:00 Keenan Ivory, yeah, he hosted a show in 97 and 98. What was it on? Damon is... Is Damon a handyman? Yes. Do you know Handyman, Blake? No, I know. My introduction to the Wayans Brothers was obviously major pain.
Starting point is 02:19:23 That's what I've been thinking about with my leg. Your wrist hurt. Let me take your mind off that pain. Then he did a movie with Adam Sandler called Bulletproof. Bro. Bro, that movie. Let me tell you something. If we go to Broken Bow and we need a movie for a night.
Starting point is 02:19:40 I love that movie. Okay. Tell my friend. we're going again. He loves, I love the way he said. All right, well, that is kind of what you get at a handyman, except it's Damon Wade. Okay. Handyman is not a... He's a physically slash mentally handicapped individual who's a superhero. Also, remember what we were doing to pass as like handicapped at 93, 90... There was like one type. And it was just one voice. It was... Yeah. Not a lot of depth.
Starting point is 02:20:09 Jake Kwame Kilpatrick is 56 Somehow found his way to South Lake But former mayor of Detroit Who got into some serious political hot water Went to prison Tim Berners Lee is 71 I heard a story the other day Dan
Starting point is 02:20:30 Pursuant to our Justice Department discussion the other day Do you remember John Bolton I do He's like a Bush guy He was a war architect Trump brought him back for a little bit. Didn't he have full dark hair but just a white mustache?
Starting point is 02:20:47 No, you're thinking of someone else. He might have at some point. John Bold had glasses. He's just one of these old neocon, whatever. He got convicted of a felony recently. He's like the only one that Trump has really tried to jam up that he got him. Because he was like writing state secrets down in a journal and sending him to his wife. He was doing very dumb stuff.
Starting point is 02:21:12 So he gets convicted. Do you want to play guess the sentence on this one? $2 million. It's a fine of rest. If he couldn't pay it, then he was facing 10 years. So it's just, you just pay a fine. But they knew he could pay it. Of course they knew he could pay it.
Starting point is 02:21:34 So what's the point? My point is that it's like a straight up pay-to-play out-of-time thing on those sorts of crimes, I guess. I don't know you rarely hear it as simple as like but he paid to avoid the yeah yeah and I you're upset with that but then you just hope to be someone that was able to pay their way out of it someday too sure Tim Bernersley is 71 says here he invented the worldwide web apparently it wasn't the downfall of society oh gore Ashley Biden is 44 and I'm in I just saw today she's divorced looked her up
Starting point is 02:22:18 she's listed as philanthropist they all are and fashion designer is there anyone like anyone that just has all the money in the world
Starting point is 02:22:31 number one you're then a philanthropist like you're giving away the money that someone else made and then you also fashion designer is a thing too that's why you watch NBA players you know what I
Starting point is 02:22:46 could do. I could probably be a fashion designer because I like stuff. I like wearing stuff. Now, Hunter didn't have sex with her, did he? No, I think that's his sister. Or wait. It's a step-sister, right? It's Jill's daughter. So, like, let's not ruled out. Let's just settle down. Tony Hinchcliff is 41. Oh, it's a half-sister? Yeah. Well, then you just kind of get a half-mressed-up kid, right? It'll be fine.
Starting point is 02:23:19 Okay. Tony Hinchcliff is 41. Oh, my God. Now, our Dumb Zone birthday of the day, what a battle it was. But our runner-up, you heard from him in the break, folks. Kanye, 49 years old today. Runner up. We wish him well.
Starting point is 02:23:36 I know. What could be runner, what could Kanye be a runner up to? Like, it must be the moon's birthday or something. The eclipse. Here it is 61 years old today, our Dumb Zone birthday of the day, Kevin Farley. Wow, look at that. One of the top eight recurring guests in our Family Feud game. Of course, we book them every year for the WNBA draft.
Starting point is 02:24:05 Can I tell you a story? I don't know. Obviously, we could have if we wanted, we could have seen all the results. And like the top answer to each one, I would see because it would show up. But I wouldn't scroll through. So when we got to that one, I was racking my brain, like, trying to come up with something funny here. And I thought, Kevin Farley, everyone will. No chance in hell that I think that was on the board.
Starting point is 02:24:29 I thought I had a good funny. Oh, you were trying to be funny. Yes. I was convinced you had memorized all the answers. Swear to God, dude. Team Jake had a lot of fishy stuff going on over there. Yeah, there was. I stayed out of it.
Starting point is 02:24:40 There was problems over there. But they had the insecurity, and they were like, oh, What if we lose? You know, we're confident in ourselves. Right. We just wanted to do a good show. I don't have a good time. Born on the Stay Now Dead.
Starting point is 02:24:57 Eddie Goodell. Oh. Lived a great lot. Well, actually. No. Really? No. Maybe lived one great day.
Starting point is 02:25:09 Right? When he got to be a major league player, that was probably a good day for him. I hope so. He probably didn't get mugged that night. I mean, think about this. shit move, man. The 60s in the 50s. No matter how bad you are down.
Starting point is 02:25:24 We're talking about, oh, that's our greatest generation. My ass. You're beating up midgets for whatever coins he had in his pot? He didn't have anything. Coins? What is he like a little? Why does he carry around magical coins? He didn't have much in life to get robbed of.
Starting point is 02:25:45 A couple of beer money. Also, born in the stay now dead. Joan Rivers. Byron White. Byron Whizzer White was always interested in him because I read as a boy, he played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and then he ended up becoming a Supreme Court justice. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:26:08 I'm sure it wasn't as difficult to be a player for the Pittsburgh Steelers back then. No. As it is now. No, and now it's a lot harder to be a Supreme Court justice, because every time a Democrat gets elected, they just say, I got to get a black woman. in there. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:26:25 And very few of them have ever played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, black women. Biden's an idiot. That was a dumb thing to do. It's not a dumb thing to promote a black woman. Of course not. To ahead of time say, hey, no matter what, I'm going to promote a black woman to be. Cut her knees off. To be the vice president.
Starting point is 02:26:50 Oh, that's what it was. Do the regular thing in live. Yes. You lie and say, actually, this was the most qualified person. Really? Well, then make an argument for it. You can make an argument for everybody. Right.
Starting point is 02:27:01 We're lying acting like he's the most qualified person. Right. Keep it going. Also, born on the standout at Frank Lloyd Wright. You know, he painted the whale wall. He did do a bunch of stuff in Dallas. Yeah. He's no I am pay, though.
Starting point is 02:27:20 Blake, Jerry Stiller. Hmm. Arthur. I dial the four! How genius of the show King of Queens to say, what if we just, like, did they also steal Kramer? Yeah. Hey, Lake, let's just have Kramer come over
Starting point is 02:27:38 and he'll be on our show and he'll be our wacky neighbor. I remember the one where... And then Doug's friend can be Elaine. So they first... They wrote the part for Jerry Stiller. He was not interested. So they filmed the pilot in, I think, half of the first season.
Starting point is 02:27:55 And then when he saw how good the show was, he wanted to be a part of it. So they actually had to go back and refilm a lot of season one to put Jerry Stiller back in. So they wrote the part for, they wrote the Seinfeld character for Jerry Stiller. They're like, hey, let's have this exact character that was already invented,
Starting point is 02:28:13 and we're going to put it in our show, too. But have you ever seen previous iterations that weren't as good, and then, like, future ones, like, made them better? That's what we're looking at here? Yeah, I would say that. This is like he's Steve Nash on the Suns? Sure.
Starting point is 02:28:28 Yeah. Jalen Brunson on the Mavs is Jerry Stiller on Seinfeld. Brunson and the NBA finals. I love the idea, though, that people are like ring chasing King of Queens, though. It's like, goddamn. That Lee Arrimony has something. I got to get on this spaceship. He still owes you a date.
Starting point is 02:28:48 Born now dead, Barbara Bush. I would love to buy here a cafe Olae somewhere. Barbara Bush. And Rob Pilates, who is. is in Millie Vanilly. What's the thing I see about, like, I thought I saw a thing that Millie Vanilli pulled out
Starting point is 02:29:02 of the America 250 thing. That's the word. The other Millie Vanilli person? Yeah. I've not heard of that person. One of them's dead. Yeah, this person. Rob.
Starting point is 02:29:14 So, yeah, the other guy. It's just Villy. And born on the day, now dead, Scott Adams. Ooh. The Dilbert. We tried to make an appeal to the big man.
Starting point is 02:29:26 I thought the big man answered. He did actually kind of answer. The big man. You're getting a heart. Yeah. And then he died. Within two weeks, isn't that the bit? We're looking one to two weeks away from...
Starting point is 02:29:38 Well, the heart got stuck in the straight of her moves, right? Dead on this day, still dead. The Prophet Muhammad... What? When do you think the Prophet Muhammad died? What year? You're asking me or Blake? 1980.
Starting point is 02:29:56 Oh, my God. The Prophet Muhammad actually... I guess. Saw the traveling willberries. No, go ahead. Did he see 500, or is it in the 400s? It's passed there. He died.
Starting point is 02:30:12 Is it 700? It's before there. Do we done to do a number game? I thought he was born in the 400s. If he was, he was 200 years old. Okay. 632, it says here he died. But who knows, right?
Starting point is 02:30:27 A lot of virgins. Did he nail virgins? Well, I mean, I think that's the whole what you're after, right? I don't know. Well, when he died, you'd have to think. He would go and he would be rewarded with lots of virgins. He's kind of a guy who created the religion to reward you that way. Now, are these virgins all of legal age?
Starting point is 02:30:48 Yeah, and that's always a... And I really find that repulsive and not in a, like, demeaning to women way, but just to know, what are we going to do? We're going to have clumsy sex every time. Right. Sounds horrible. Like, I want someone to teach me, not the other way around. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 02:31:07 In my heaven, you just get an endless supplies of the lady in charge of the Bihorah, the madam. The 62-year-old. I guess everyone's heaven can be shaped to what their vision of it is. I think it is, yeah. And that works the other way, too. Mine is breakfast served all day. In a batting cage. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:31:28 No one's heavy. You're saying an actual virgin who does. dies, their heaven isn't me showing up going, all right. Awesome. Let's roll. You know, they call me the squirt slurper. It's been a while. I don't think so. Dead on this day, still dead. Prophet Muhammad, Satchel Page, and Anthony Bourdain. One of the more exciting moments in my life was getting to be involved and informing one of my black friends that Satchel Paige is black. Oh, yeah? KJ only found out, like the last last couple years and it was really a big moment for the group that's pretty sad it was very sad
