Dan, the theme you might notice with our sponsors, our partners, we're trying to make things easy for you, the listener, the customer, trying to save you a little bit of coin and work with good people.
That's who Fair Lease is. Check them out at fairlease.org. They are backed by the credit union of Texas.
That means working with Fair Lease
when you lease your next vehicle,
you're working with Texas.
That's what we're all about.
That is what we're all about, in fairness.
So when it's time to get off that old vehicle,
maybe you have a lease that you're trying to get out of.
Fair Lease can possibly help you with that.
They can get you more for your trade in and you can do all this right from the comfort of your own home.
You know what they say from the comfort of your own home right? Like everybody
always says that. Yeah. Do you find probably most homes aren't like the most
comfortable place in your life? What if you have like a domestic situation? Then
that's a bad bit. Then you need a car to escape to Where can you get it fairly?

is a great city.
It's like, are we just doing bachelorette parties?
No, that's what we're doing.
I don't know, maybe we could do one at the.
What if we put all the teams in there?
Do one down in Waco at the.
All right, all right, all right, all right.
The comfort of your own shelter.
Air conditioned car.
Where you won't walk.
Because it's raining.
Well, good afternoon everybody.
Hello friends.
I'm Dan McDowell.
I'm Jake Hampton.
I'm Blake Jones.
Clayton CK, FoodieCK, FastfoodCK is here as well.
Here is not the downtown Dallas Game Day Men's Health Studio
that we've come to know and love over the last month or so.
Newly named Fresh Cone of Paint, Cote of Paint?
Cote of? Yeah, I'm trying to say. Newly named fresh cone of paint, coat of paint, coat of...
I'm trying to say.
It's game day men's health. We were out there yesterday actually.
We were.
One of their nine locations.
Doing a little filming, number one, and then maybe a little bump.
A little boosty boost.
A little boost. I was feeling good. Yeah, it's a little peptide.
Clayton knows what peptides are. Listen, if... if your life, you're looking at the end of the day, and you're like, it's just too much.
And you've got to go pick up dinner from two different places.
Which I did last night. Far apart from one another I called power through that Dan was humming through the afternoon that was a great phone call
we had to it was because I said hey I'm about to go to two different places I
got plenty of time to talk because that's what I do I am a people pleaser
that's what people say about me This guy just makes everyone around him feel great. We have a sit-in. He is Robert. Anyway, we're high atop my garage broadcasting live
to tape today. It's the Dragon Den of inequality. Robert, were you a September
2024 sit-in? I might have been day one of Jake's absence. Okay.
Or very early.
September 12th.
So have we, what are we doing here Blake?
Are we offering all those who did a sit-in like another opportunity to come on in and
see what it's like with Jake?
I feel like those sit-ins didn't get their full value.
Okay. And here- You're just a people pleaser here at the dumb zone. We're all about customer service and fairness fairness
So yeah, I felt bad for the people who paid 690 to see Dan and Jake and only got to see Dan
And so let's run it back
But what it so what a bonus?
What a bonus indeed. People just winning.
You got to see the Game Day Men's Health Studio and then the den, um...
When it was just a gleam in your father's eye.
Been sitting around this den looking at it.
I've lived here 10, 11, it might even be 12 years by now, I don't know.
Yeah, man.
Once you hit 10 you just forget.
You need to move. Number one, I need to move. Cause all, I don't know. Yeah, man. Once you hit 10, you just forget. You need to move.
Number one, I need to move. Cause I got too much stuff.
I don't think you need to move.
When you move.
You need to remodel.
A little remo.
Yeah, we'll keep trying it.
I don't think it's really getting untracked, but.
I want to remo this room at least.
Now, was talking to Clayton CK during the pre-show.
He was indicating, you know, you're going to have to like gut this thing out or clear
it out and we're going to need like a month to do it.
Yeah.
What?
And then he said, that means we have to wait till after football season.
Correct. So this could be like we might announce the retirement of the den
but you know in this is a Juneteenth type situation like we'll actually do it like when they
even announce the freeing of the slaves they're're like, hey, slaves are free. Cool, we're free. Eh.
Hey, hold your horses.
A few months from now.
For us.
We got to fall, Cropstice.
Wait till Q4, please.
Yeah.
Yeah, I do think we could clean things up.
We could streamline.
My wife would love to help with this project.
Clayton, Rob, very helpful on this.
But here's the thing. I don't want to fully sanitize
the den.
I don't want the den to be a studio.
I want that couch there.
I'm not a huge fan of me being in this recliner,
but I think this recliner should stay.
I think it still needs to feel like you just hang out
and burn one up here.
Would you just like a chair more like this one?
I don't want this to be an
olive to maple situation is what I'm telling you because that was like one of the worst.
Got very sterile. It fucking sucked. It was horrible. I'll take the recliner. I mean
you're a big boy Clayton. I just want to let you know this is a small recliner that has
been broken by a big boy before. That's such a production. We had never seen a big boy
sit on a recliner. That's the chair the TC once broke
Yeah, I once got back from vacation
How does it feel to be so close to the chair was laying on the ground and the the chair was just a backless chair
Yes, it actually went out on the curb. Yeah, I took the chair out to the curb. I couldn't fix it
It's like Nikki six bought a new for Motley Crue as it. It's like Nicky Six. Bought a new chair. Whoever that guy from Motley Crew is it died. Went to like Chairs R Us or something bought a new chair. That's
plus. Brought it up here. This is the days when there was no couch. That used to
be our living room couch. That how everybody does it. When your living room
couch kind of gets really beat up you're like let's go put it in the spare room
the extra room. Mm-hmm.
And yeah, so that chair was the only chair in here, indicating to my family and everybody
that there's room for one person up here.
There's no family movie night.
There's an application.
Yeah.
What's the living room for?
If not, this is my little abode.
That's such a production guy move, by the way.
Like this project could probably take three days at the most.
Oh my god, yeah.
But he's going to tell you it's a month.
Yeah.
And you take his time.
It's just the union contractor of the content world.
I need a month to move that recliner over.
Best I can do.
Best I can do.
But anyway, I bought a new chair.
I know it.
Yeah.
This is how this goes, Clayton.
And I thought it was just, that's a very comfortable chair.
Super comfortable.
And in fact, my wife says it was like her grandma's.
That chair is from 1950, bro.
That chair is.
You think she got railed on it?
Possibly.
There's a decent chance, right?
She was probably a happening lady.
There is a possibility that.
It was the last time you had sex on a chair. Oh
Man like with someone else right yeah, you're you barely making it over to the front solo
You drawing front iron on a top of the rim for top of the break three doesn't count
Anyway, bought that chair bought a new chair didn't like it. It was just too much. It was too. It was like a giant cloud and it was one of these huge chairs.
It's just the way they do things, right?
Everything's gotta be big, everything's like the hummer of chairs.
And it was too much, so I take it back and they're like,
didn't you read the thing?
Like what thing?
You can't return it, we can't give you your money, but
we can give you anything else in the store, store credit. So then we got an awesome table that we use to this day. It's downstairs
And we build puzzles on it if you were to run this scenario by TC
He would say I'm not gonna ask you to thank me for the table. Yeah, right
He'd be like you wouldn't have that and then we did we called like chair repair place
I guess that exists and they repaired chair, pulled it off the curb,
put it back up here.
If that's your-
Yes, everybody is happy.
Everybody.
If that's your gig, we could write you a jingle
pretty easily, so.
What?
Chair repair, hit us up.
Yeah.
It's gotta be big business.
But I just want the den to stay the den.
We could clean things up a bit, but.
Let's keep the essence alive. Don't you think? On today's program
We have a spattering of sports
But we also have sports throughout the program on different like we have a viewer mail and there's some sports mixed in there
my today in Twitter is
Sports related for sure.
So it's not a big sports day.
And I do believe this is one of the benefits
of doing what we're doing now in this forum.
Bob, what do you think of that?
On this platform.
We're going Bob now with Robert?
No, we're not.
Oh, okay. Just a Bob guy.
Next thing you'd be calling him Clay.
Some people like...
In fact, I want to...
I'm really regretting my early...
the decision in the fourth grade.
I could have gone with Daniel.
I think Daniel sounds so cool.
I wish my name was Daniel. And gone with Daniel. I think Daniel sounds so cool. I wish my name was Daniel and
It is Daniel, but I can't just now start
Telling everybody to call me Daniel. Dude. I had a buddy. You see that man. I have so
This is all I got a buddy list, but I have a buddy
He's probably listening right now and we called him a nickname his whole life
It was a nickname that came from like youth baseball
called him a nickname his whole life. It was a nickname that came from youth baseball.
His first name was Michael, but I never called him Michael,
if anything, maybe Mike, but he had another nickname.
Wasn't like dirty, that's what he always was.
And then he went to the Hab, and when he came out,
his second wife was like, yeah, now ye are Michael.
The Hab will do that.
I don't know that she made him.
I just know he had a new number, and it was saved in my phone,
as it is no longer as the old name.
Or the new name.
The Hab might have made him do it, though.
They might have.
Do you know that Albert Bell was Joey Bell for like two years?
You know what?
That's right.
I forgot you told me that.
So yeah, I guess it does happen.
Joey Bell was one of my favorite Cleveland Indians.
He went to rehab, and now he's Albert.
And we're like, really?
OK.
Yeah, Daniel's too late.
What's your middle name?
Mike?
Matt?
Craig?
Ryan.
Ryan.
There you go.
The Dan Ryan in Chicago.
That's me, named after me.
Or my real dad, who is my biological dad, who I am named after but I've never I guess I met him
But I was really tiny. Yeah, let's see, but I wanted to
Touch a couple of quick hits and then we can start getting into stuff quick hit like a recap of the water burger remote
I believe everybody's very very pleased with how things went down
I believe everybody's very very pleased with how things went down
The people that listen to us are kind of awesome
That they filled that place up. There's a line around the the building to get the Whataburger
exclusive car trays we
Again people pleasers just want everybody to be happy
We, again, people pleasers, just want everybody to be happy. We couldn't hold it to just 75.
We ended up giving away almost a couple hundred of the Waterburger Dumb Zone car trays.
Yeah.
So the plan, just to pull back the curtain, was we're going to have another remote
the back half of August.
And we ordered, I think there was 300 trays. Maybe your mark 50 for
Waterburger and dumb zone personal and we got 250. We're like, alright, we'll give away 75 at each and then we'll have more who knows
After 150 giving away we gave away 180 on Tuesday. So they did go get the other box of trays
We're gonna order more trays now to those who got a tray we're
not gonna devalue the tray we're gonna order like a hundred more and we'll
give away a hundred and twenty or so at the next value of the tray is not the
fact that it's a collectible it is the fact that it's the tray yeah it is
now eating lunch not hovering in an air this works on like four levels you don't
know listen a lot of people
have made me swell with pride when they've told me like,
oh, I got my life together, my wife was gonna leave me,
my kids love me now.
It's great.
Somebody's sending me a thing of Tupperware
on their car tray, they're sitting there.
I mean, I had a buddy I've known for 15 years yesterday
text me and he's like, did Elon design this?
Like this is the greatest engineered product.
Your steering wheel's right here.
And you just fill the space.
Snap it right on there.
So yes, the fact that we're helping people like that
is important, but the collectible,
you don't want a million of them out there.
So we're ordering a few more.
We'll have another remote in August and we'll give away,
if you want one and you're down here, you'll get one.
Now, I will tell you guys, this round of trays,
they're like twice as expensive.
And you know what they put on the email?
Like in parentheses next to the price?
Those trays are not being made in America, folks.
Do you know why they're more expensive there, Bobby?
Tariffs.
Tariffs, they even put that in there.
They're now like we because
Whataburger and Dumb Zone split the cost of them so we paid whatever. Yeah. Yeah
whatever. The point is we're yes this is coming out of our budget and now we're
gonna pay double the amount so in a sense these are the real next yeah the
next round we do but yeah we were gonna save 75 for the next remote. Instead, we gave away all we had.
Got horny.
But you know, don't like to see someone out there disappointed.
We haven't told people this, but just like crypto, we're gonna destroy some of the first
75 every so often, just so it holds its value over time.
Stewards.
Stewards of the trust.
Yeah, but it was amazing, dude.
I mean, I don't know, but it was amazing, dude.
I haven't seen the video of me walking in
when people were cheering, but that was cool.
That was a moment.
You could do this sort of job for a very long time
and not have an audience that is as cool as this.
It's very cool.
It is cool.
Blown away themselves.
Softball Chris.
I forgot to mention this. A couple of weeks ago, the, most people know this, the vast
majority of people know, but we worked at a radio station called The Ticket in Dallas.
A couple of weeks ago, the radio station called The Ticket in Dallas started doing a podcast
with one of their shows and I said like that Thursday
before our week off, before our vacation, tomorrow during a paywalled program I will give my
thoughts on that podcast situation the Morning Musers now doing their podcast. I
have them prepared and I will give those tomorrow. Okay. Because I want it to be behind a payroll show.
Kind of what I thought was.
And we got a lot going on today already.
For sure.
So I don't want to add that
because it's going to be a little more
of a conversation I think.
And I want to let you guys be prepared.
And I will effing write it down, Blake.
Make me do it.
Okay.
He's never going to write it.
It's a tricky thing in this business
because if somebody says like hey
I want to do this and then they don't remember it
It's weird if you remind them of it because it almost makes it seem like you're patronizing like when your little muser second buddy
Didn't do yesterday when you little I want to know what you think um I
want to say
Something I saw during vacate is there a new Jurassic Park movie out right now?
There is.
Did you not, like, I would have expected you on Monday
to come crashing through, like, oh, man, I just saw.
I hated the last one so much.
So when they rebooted and they did, when Chris Pratt came back,
or not came back, but when they inserted him into the bit
and he had a Raptor Blue that he had trained,
I cried during that movie.
But every, but there's a lot to be said here.
One, somehow they have the monopoly on dinosaur stories.
Like there's, all these movies are made.
And I even saw like a trailer for one the other day that was like five years
old, had big names of it and it, I'd never heard of it,
but no one else makes the Dino movie and the dinosaur movie.
They just do this cycle where it's the base one and now it's corporate greed
and now it's militarization. So in the second one, it's always,
you know, uh, private equities, like, how can we make
money off of these things?
And, you know, and then from there it's like, but now the CIA needs a, you know, a fucking
pterodactyl to eliminate Al Qaeda.
They do the same bit.
And I saw the trailer for this one and it was the most paint by numbers trailer I'd
ever seen.
I felt like my low level of intelligence was being insulted.
Then I started seeing people, people like it, dude.
It's the best one since, you know, the Chris Pratt one.
So I don't know, but I will tell you something else.
There's a chance we're going to training camp, right?
I don't know where we are on saying when and training camp. During the month of August at the Hollywood Bowl
they are showing Jurassic Park with a live symphony orchestra to play the soundtrack
while the movie is on the screen at the Hollywood Bowl. Wow. Yeah, so. So if you're
gonna see it, it'll be there. We'll see. See, OK, that's interesting.
You didn't want to see it. And you were saying you wouldn't see it because you knew it sucked by the trailer.
Because I was thinking the same thing about a movie that I think the people might expect that I should watch this movie.
The new Superman is just starting up, I think, this weekend. And that's a dog ass trailer.
That's the worst thing I've ever seen.
And now we got the director is coming out and saying things that Clay, my brother-in-law
is saying is woke.
Did you see that?
I know that there's a guy.
They're just like, it's actually an immigrant story.
I don't care if the movies woke or
I care if the movie sucks and it looks like it's gonna suck but I feel like I
have to go see it to confirm yeah but it could pain me the thing is in the same
way what were we talking about on Tuesday of a dollar for somebody doesn't
spend the same as others?
For me to break off like 210 minutes to go to the movies
But that's harder for me than it is you if I were you I would be at a movie by myself
Every weekend which is oftentimes what my dad does
Nice, and he goes when it's cheap. Yeah senior citizen. I think I'll do that this weekend You know what I have we could talk this out more tomorrow because I need your help
So my wife hit me up and excuse me my mom first and said hey, we're going to the beach this weekend
Can we take the kids?
Not do you guys want to come?
Nice how perfect is that couldn't be more. Yeah. Unless...
We're gonna do some effing this weekend.
Yeah, and I don't know. This next piece of information probably plays into that.
Depends on how you think about it, but...
My wife, like a week or two ago, it told me that there was some party barge on Grapevine Lake this weekend with...
Three, four, five
of our friends, like our long time friends,
couples we know since we were kids,
and then 40 or 50 other people,
maybe 20 of them I tangentially know.
Like so I got five or six of my friends,
maybe 20 people I've heard of, and 20 I've never heard of.
She's like, I assume you don't wanna do this, do you?
And like I can go, if it were 40 people that
I knew
like
40 people in Austin for my birthday that are getting hammered I can do that
It's not that I can't be around alcohol. There's don't want to be around a bunch of people. I don't know
And so she said yesterday
you know the kids, you know, the kids are being gone like do you care if I go and
dude You know the kids you know the kids are being gone like do care if I go and dude
So she's gonna go without you. Oh, yeah training remember your training
She's like I think I have to be gone from like 11 to 5 or something. You're like all day, huh?
Damn it be a real shame if you were super horny at 515 and needed to be picked up
I don't know. She will be.
She's gonna be asleep is what she's gonna be.
Yeah, she's gonna be hammered.
But my point is when she comes home,
she's just gonna go to bed right then.
Yeah, pass out.
I'm good all, I'm good money all day.
They're not even coming home til Monday.
Monday afternoon.
So I just had to get that out there.
What a weekend you have, Eddie.
Are you already thinking about where you're eating?
I don't know, I came in today you're eating? I don't know that.
I came in today and was like, I don't have much for the show.
Fast food.
It's all I'm thinking about.
And a quick hit here.
Have you watched Trainwreck, Mare of Mayhem?
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Yeah, I did.
And it's just one episode, right?
Yes, one episode, as Clayton was talking to me about before,
he loves the documentary that's under one hour.
And this was, there's, now you leave it saying,
there's probably eight hours here.
Yeah.
Because they were just touching on it.
But it's about Rob Ford, the mayor of Toronto, who's now dead, not alive.
Cancer got him.
But I didn't know about this particular quote.
Let me just play you a one minute clip from the show.
So Rob Ford, he looks like, or he is a perfect mix of Chris Farley and Donald Trump.
Yes, 100%.
Like he talks like Trump, acts like Farley, like looks and acts.
And from the, you know, I knew a ton about Rob Ford, I thought, and I didn't really learn anything new in this documentary.
Because we used to, like, this used to be all I had for Shake Joint News every Sunday.
But I didn't know how he came to power.
Which was, there was a massive,
you see this in Philadelphia right now,
or maybe it's over, but a massive
waste management strike in Toronto.
So while it's happening.
During the summer.
And so nobody got their trash picked up
for like a month during the summer and the mayor got run out all of the established politicians got run out
and Rob Ford was somewhat you know he's from a political family but he
represented that like fuck you every man that Trump did as well yeah yeah and
they're both funny in their own way. Like, they'll do legitimately funny. But of course, so I've heard of the video
where he's smoking crack.
That's happening.
Other videos are coming out about,
oh, it's like Tiger.
Once you got one girl and you found one,
all of a sudden there's 50 of them.
Now there's 50 videos of him smoking something
or doing something wild when he's wasted.
Now there's 50 videos of him smoking something or doing something wild when he's wasted. Like, anyway, so now they're talking to a reporter who is just talking about that time.
This is, and he's like denying everything and deny, deny, deny, and let me see the video.
I challenge you to release the video and all this. So this is like in the middle of all of that,
but I didn't realize this one existed.
As all of this was happening,
then he just makes this offhand comment
after he was accused of meeting a staffer
named Olivia Gondek.
He wanted, oh, okay, so we're gonna use some language.
Everybody is just, I can't believe I'm in the office.
I don't know how to say this.
But, you know, he said...
Oh, and the last thing was Olivia Gondack.
It says that I wanted to eat her pussy.
Olivia Gondack, I've never said that.
I'm happily married.
I've got more than enough to eat at home.
Thank you very much.
Wow.
Oh, my God.
Oh, fuck. I know we're applying pregnant. So this is your TV report. that I don't think we can broadcast that on TV, but we just broadcast that on TV.
Another unbelievable thing-
When things are constantly so shocking,
you know how you sort of get numb to it?
This broke any spell of numbness.
Yeah, forgive her, Blake.
That's a pretty jarring live TV moment.
Yeah, you can be a little rattled there.
No, that was big.
That was big for me, yeah. And the way he says it. It's so perfect
It's like you just took Trump put it in a filter and click Canadian
Way I eat her pussy. I got plenty to eat at home
The fuck dude the guy's awesome
Felt so fun. It's Tommy boy
And there's a little bit of Black Sheep too
because you remember Black Sheep, Chris Farley's character,
he was like a rec center,
like a trashy rec center camp instructor or something.
Rob Ford, he had like this weird obsession with football
and he would go coach like kids in the hood.
So they would show him this fat ass white guy
and he would just be coaching like 12 black kids
in this dusty field.
He just, there's a video where he's trying to take a snap
from a quarterback and he falls down
as he's trying to drop back.
Lot of good Rob Ford football content.
I was playing Domino's last night. That's my Wednesday
night. Were you doing that in your garage? No. Oh well if you were and you needed a
new garage door you could do it. Oh. Texas Trident. TXTrident.com. Our buddy Jeremy
over there he'll hook you up when it comes to replacing or repairing that garage
door. TXTrident.com. We've a couple of couple of dumb zone listeners hit us up
and tell us that if you mention the dumb zone you'll get 10% off. It's not in the
copy. Oh that's right. If he's giving it to some we imagine he's gonna give it to
you. Yeah just tell him you heard about him on the dumb zone. That guy's great.
And maybe he'll give you 9% off. Perhaps it's 11.
I don't know.
We just know that it's a discount as possible with txtrident.com.
Go check out that website.
These people do super, super tip top shape work.
The garage doors come a long way, Dan.
So entry gate services, the doors, whatever
you need for your garage, you can do it at txtridant.com.
Blake, so what sort of dominoes?
Or 817-512-1212.
That is a good number.
Yeah, condescending.
No, I play 42 with my grandpa at his old folks' home.
You do this on Wednesday nights, you say?
Every Wednesday night.
What is the night?
430?
They eat dinner at 530, so we start at 6. That's not too early and
It's a great time to eat dinner
530 it is I'm aiming for it. I never really get there. I usually get there about 6 but
Like seriously, it's a cheat code when when you have little kids you learn because you go to restaurants real early, it's like damn, getting served right away,
there's always a table, you feel great.
Maybe some specials.
And then your kids grow older and you're like, why don't I just keep eating here, like at
this time.
That's why you see olds and little kids and people with kids at restaurants.
Anyway, back to grandpa.
And they actually, when he moved in,
they all kind of formed a collective and got it pushed back.
Like a clan?
No.
Oh.
Like, they didn't sign a petition.
They got enough people to say,
we don't need to eat dinner at five.
Oh, I see.
So originally, I think it was six, 11, and five,
and so now it's 6.30, 11, 30, 5, 30.
All politicians are local.
6!
Alright.
Breakfast?
Yeah, you're an old, you are awake and be like starving.
They're up and they're hungry.
Oh my gosh, yeah.
Old people love breakfast.
Okay.
They don't miss it.
I think old people love to see the sun come up.
Well I think a lot of them just can't sleep for very long.
Go Bob Bob what?
You just made the statement about old people just that I think old people like
to see the Sun come up. I'm telling you I think is the older you get you just see
that thing come up and it gives you a little like alright not today. I made it.
Made it to another day. Yeah. Turn Bob's mic off. and some of them some of them are ready to not see the Sun anymore
Yeah
What does that mean? They just see the Sun. They're like damn it. I made another day. Oh, I see my Chappie's dad
I'd say the last really since my grandma died, you know, he was like, it's nice you're here or whatever
But if you're tomorrow would have yeah. Yeah, my grandpa had a phase.
But now he's made friends, he's cool now.
But I go and I play 42 with him and a couple of his buddies.
And it's been kinda cool,
cause the first time we played,
it took him a little bit to get into it.
We only played for an hour.
Now we're playing to almost nine o'clock at night.
What?
These old dudes love it.
It's really cool, it's really fun.
Because I'm the nerd that I am,
I've begun keeping stats.
So I know everyone's win-loss record.
As of a couple weeks ago,
I now know everyone's like betting percentage
and how often they hit their bet.
You should get Johnny Outlaw to post that for you.
Yeah, yeah, do the data.
But yeah, I've got a Google Sheets page where I can just input the scores
and it'll tell me the leaderboards and such.
So that's been fun.
That's awesome.
It's a really great time.
But the thing is, is nobody can hear.
And that often causes some troubles
of forgetting what they bid and what have you.
But last night, I know that we, none of us in here probably got this,
but there was a blue alert.
We have news on this in the news.
Well we'll talk about it more in the news.
What's that?
I got it.
Police officer.
Oh, okay, I thought it was like hair.
I thought it was called silver alert.
Okay, yeah.
They do a silver alert, right?
Blue alert for your rolling,
oh I thought you meant like my type of blue hair.
Like the roller derby girl.
Like, oh we lost a hipster.
Okay.
Well.
Gough alert.
Yeah.
We have obviously turned our alerts off
because we're not good people.
Yeah.
But the olds are either good people
or don't know how to turn the alerts off because we're not good people. But the olds are either good people
or don't know how to turn the alerts off.
There you go.
And so Vern's phone goes off.
He can't hear it.
I gotta tell him, hey, I think you're getting a call
or there's an alert or something.
He gets it out, pulls it up,
and when they get an alert,
it's like the ultimate distraction.
They forget what's going on and they gotta pull down
and they're gonna read.
Oh, from Alverde, where's Alverde, Texas?
I don't know, but they're the Indians, okay.
It's Alverde, but yes.
Whatever, and then they just read it, okay.
All right, finally, we got through it.
Now my grandpa's phone goes off.
Same thing, pulls it down.
What's a blue alert?
Police officer, I think we just, it's all good,
yes, it appears to be an Asian man, I know, that's crazy.
Okay, now Jimmy's phone goes off.
What is this?
Oh, a blue alert, where is Alvarado?
And it's just this same conversation each time,
and it was just the biggest speed bump
to get through this damn blue alert.
Yeah, I mean that is certainly what you run into
when you visit your grandfather is a lot of sameness.
You're gonna hear, you're gonna go through a lot
of the same, hey did I tell you that on Tuesdays
they do such and such?
You did?
Still interested in it though, but yeah.
It's basically just you just put the grandfather experience
on steroids by rounding up a group of them
and pretending to be all of their grandson.
That's basically what you're doing and it's awesome.
I think it's really cool.
I think it's prepping me for multiple kids
because it's like you have to have the same amount
of patience for each one of them.
Otherwise you're unfair.
This is good for you not just from a family standpoint,
from a life standpoint.
Like when I was a kid, you know, if you go to church,
they have you go help old people to see like,
this is what it's gonna be like.
Yeah.
And you need to develop some empathy for this.
You know, like we would go like wash old people's feet.
You know, like in the church
because it was like the service thing.
So I think what you're doing is great,
but I think the real question is,
you once told us that your grandfather,
you were watching television,
or he was watching television and reported to you
that he had seen a commercial for a medication
that helps you deal with HIV,
a condition disproportionately affecting the gay community.
And he saw two people men kissing on television was a little off put by that
Kind of his words were I saw that for the first time the other day
And I just wish I'd gone my whole life without seeing that guys guys a hundred years old. I don't think this is a
horrible malicious opinion my question though
I think this is a horrible malicious opinion. My question though, would he be more upset
if he flipped on that television today
and saw you in that commercial kissing a man,
taking the medication because you have AIDS,
or if he found out that you're bankrolling a fucking bum
who can't keep his finances together
after your grandfather
I'm imagining worked 60 years until his fingers bled probably never had a night
off and here's Angela who's like I don't want to walk to the free McDonald's
because it's raining it's raining I've told you some stories about his his
childhood and how they had to dig a trench to drink water
Tell him about Angelo. They didn't have windows on their house. Tell him it's
No, he was he had a really rough upbringing. So no, I I think
Do we have an I think that's a real toss up. Do you have an update on the hundred dollars you gave him the other day?
his first purchase
Was for $32
at Lowe's
Okay, maybe doing a remo himself building. Yeah, maybe a
Charboard yeah, maybe we replace the cardboard with plywood
So I don't know I was confused by that one
No, I mean that he's doing
Removing is no I think I think dude you've got to have stuff to be homeless you got to have gear You got to have gloves you got it
I was probably some type of little to lose or Home Depot that has sweet hot dogs
Typically both I mean hot Home Depot. I would say Home Depot is the one why I ordered it off uber eats one
You're like a homeless guy with money.
100%.
Poop anywhere, sleep anywhere, addict.
I need to ask him what he bought.
But that was confusing.
I think that's the most utilitarian purchase he's
made without knowing what he bought.
This is growth.
It 100% is.
Yeah, he's investing in himself.
Yeah, I think he bought some Bitcoin the other day
Up to 112,000 Dan whoa really damn I was looking for it to go down
To buy in yeah by the dip I want to buy the dip this is when TC buys he buys. By the bike. All right, let's do some sports and Community Mechanical brings us sports today because
they actually have recently serviced a sports friend of ours who texted me the other day
and he said, do you have the number for Community Mechanical?
What is that number, Jake?
Because I do have the number. I just, you know, copy and paste it. 469-667-7290. Okay, so that's a number you
can text as well, and they'll get right back to you. He said, had another company came
over here to replace a unit, they said they needed to completely replace a unit.
They quoted $15,500.
Want to make sure I'm not getting ripped off.
Later, Travis from Community said,
I want to let you know we were able to fix his air
conditioner in about 10 minutes.
The other company was trying to needlessly sell him
a full system when it was probably a $100 repair.
And that's how you can get a customer for life,
by helping someone out.
That's what Community Mechanical will do.
They're pretty awesome at that.
They've helped out tons of our listeners,
and they will help you out as well.
What is it?
Communitydfw.com?
I never remember that.
Indeed, indeed.
They were just out at Blake's house,
been out to my house and the Mini Den.
So 469-667-7290 have not yet to hear a bad word about community mechanicals.
Check them out at communitydfw.com.
Just a couple of quick hits.
Yeah, the first one is it wasn't a walk-off last night. They gave up three in the eighth
And then lost now. I thought you have quit baseball
I just I
It's this is like vaping baseball
I took a little vape hit of baseball a little hit. I took a little vape. It was the same as you remembered it
Maybe it's not that bad. Let me check it out. It was. The
All-Star game is gonna have robot umps. That's amazing. Are you aware of that? I
did not know that. Is it the next year rules? The rules we had in spring training? The
spring training, same thing they did in spring training, same thing they do in
the minor leagues, but it's the challenge system. So I can't say I
watch spring training baseball a lot so I didn't really see a lot of it.
I guess I saw it on Twitter and stuff. I saw it on Twitter and I read a decent
amount about it but it has been four months. But I remember what I really
liked it at the time and interviewing players about it, they seemed to, like players who had experienced it
at the minor league level,
some of them are gonna bitch always,
but I always like to hear from the guys
who immediately think of how they can gamify that.
And it's usually pitchers figuring out that sort of thing,
but learning like, hey, there's gonna be guys,
the manager, he doesn't trust you.
This guy's like Luca on a challenge, right? Yeah that there's some guys that have a rep a reputation
And in the minor leagues, they'd say, you know a month into the season
There's guys like dude
I'm not I'm never gonna challenge when you
Ask for it or I always will when you do or how to judiciously employ them or deploy them throughout the game
I think it's fascinating stuff. A lot of teams have rules that say A pitchers
can't call because they don't trust them and B you can't do it until after the
fifth inning because they're just not high leverage enough. That makes a lot of
sense but just introducing another element of strategy to it I think is
cool. I believe it's not officially
Installed next year for Major League Baseball, but it could be yeah, it's been being proposed I
I really like it. I like to be a quick 20 have we ever had a time in the history of sports where
Stuff that's very much about to happen. We don't really have we're talking about the playoff yesterday
We don't know what the football playoff is right now off the top of our head He's changing and then it's gonna be different the next year
We're talking about changing fundamentally the way they call balls and strikes and it's maybe next year
Like Juneteenth had more hang time. Yeah
Yeah, no, and we've been talking about it for how many years a decade
Just that they've kind of had the technology
to do something like this, but what is the bit perfection is the
Enemy of progress or something like yeah, just because you still might get it wrong sometimes like
The main thing is like there's some egregiousious times. And that's what we at least want now.
We'll get to perfection someday, perhaps.
But the egregious calls, you really
have to be able to take out of the game.
You know the weird thing from my baseball journey
that I thought of related to this story
is the check swing.
Because I watched a Rangers game about a week ago that randomly, like Dave Raymond was commenting on it,
had a dozen of them in pivotal moments.
That's, chest swings are tough, yeah.
All over.
I hate, I've never understood that rule.
I mean, I understand like the wrist thing,
but it's, they slow it down.
How you're gonna be able to review or not review that I don't think they have a good answer for yet. I
Don't think they have
Yeah, I did miners either and that the point to first and asked for that guy's opinion is never really like is he really?
On attention. Yeah, he never looks like he's that he looks like the refs and flag football. It's yeah. Oh, yeah
Also, I forgot so apparently the WNBA also has an all-star game right after the draft
Which is right before the finals the playoffs and this is after the Commissioners Cup
yes, the Commissioners Cup right the
You know the storied commissioner of the NBA, WNBA. When we were gone, it was announced that Caitlin Clark is the starter, like got
the most fan votes, all that kind of stuff. You know, the fact even the voting, like there's
double the amount of voting now that she's in the league.
Like yes, the leading fan vote getter used to be 500,000, now it's like a million, it's
her, whatever it is.
Anyway, when you put together these rosters, it's a combination sometimes of fan voting
is very important, that's who gets you the starter but then there are other other things media and players also get to vote in the players
when they voted for Caitlin Clark she was listed she got the ninth most amount
of votes that's insane just to talk about I mean I guess I don't know that
much about the WNBA so I'm out of pocket here I mean they're guess I don't know that much about the WNBA, so I'm out of pocket here. I mean, there are definitely, I'll put it to you like this,
there are definitely people that casual fans of any sport
think are good that aren't.
Or think are better than they are.
And if you actually watch the games
or actually follow deeper stats, they're not, right?
I mean, hell, somebody thinks Anthony Davis
is a top 75 player.
Yeah.
So maybe she's not the best player in the league, right?
I don't think so, no.
So maybe that's.
But yeah.
And I think there are some circumstances
that she was injured a bit this year and all that, but still.
And maybe the other way works for this for this as well. You say there's some players that are better
Than they are actually perceived to be or excuse me worse. Yeah, it happens both ways
Well, but I was thinking so angel Reese
the other news out of the WNBA if this is news it is that she's on the cover of apparently the WNBA has a
video game and
Angel Reese got on the cover. It's like the Madden cover. So Angel Reese is on it
Does it mean she's better than I my perception has her because I only know her from small clips are
Yeah, I've tried to say she gets four rebounds on one play because she missed four shots. Yeah, I've tried to tell you that before. When you see that she gets four rebounds on one play because she missed four shots.
Yeah, I've tried to tell you that before.
She does have like, she has like a Dreymon level stat
line and impact.
You know, from defense, rebounds,
like her PER or efficiency stats are good.
I don't think they're, she's a different type of player.
But she's not like a spare at all.
She was one of the top picks in the draft.
She was a standout in college.
She just has a weird hard on for Michael.
So it would be like if Draymond.
Went to the Timberwolves and got 100 million,
they're not gonna be built around Draymond,
but if Steph stayed, yeah.
But if Draymond and LeBron have a rivalry,
that's the rivalry here.
Kind of.
It's like the impact, like very good player
but not in this person's league really.
That sound, that seems right.
I would think, yeah, no one would trade
Angel Reese for a...
Hey Henry.
Who cares, right?
Just one word answers, you play sports video games, yes? You fired up for the WNBA game? It's a part of 2K. Oh, Henry. Who cares, right? Just one word answer. You play sports video games, yes?
You fired up for the WNBA game?
It's a part of 2K.
Oh.
Oh, it's just in there?
Does Ship It with you?
A couple years ago, yes.
You can play as WNBA teams.
OK.
This is a part of one of them.
You can transition?
Can you let LeBron play in that league?
Wouldn't that be awesome?
I don't think so.
Now I'm in.
Oh, OK.
Well, guess who's anti-trans?
2K?
Now I'm in.
I didn't mean to start all this.
I was just saying they have alternate covers.
Like the SGA is the main cover athlete.
Carmelo Anthony is another one for some reason.
And then also, injuries.
Why are you disrespecting Carmelo?
Because for some reason in the last five years,
we've inflated Carmelo to a point
where he was on the same level as LeBron. I agree. Dude, this and I don't know what maybe it was the stabbing. I don't know what happened
This is going there, but Carmelo is now like an icon and I just I don't really I don't really feel it
I'm with Blake. Bob's gonna be so pleased with you guys. Speaking of run the ball guy Blake over here
Carmelo was a dominant NBA player. He was great mail. Got a stack of these in the mail.
Yes, conference record was really good.
A stack of these in the mail for you the other day.
Hey.
Oh, yeah.
The Dave Campbell Texas football 2025.
You can flip through one of these.
I got one, buddy.
There he is.
You can hold it on.
I got one over here, too.
Pass them down.
They actually sent one.
One labeled to Blake had like three in it.
Yeah. Because he must know you really love ball. They passed him down. They actually sent one the one labeled to Blake had like three in it. Yeah
Because he must know you really love ball and who loves
Who loves the Texas football 25 preview in July more than run the ball guy listen
You might not make the field much your team might win two games But if you can hold on to the version of that book with your name height weight and position on it for the rest of your life they're not
deporting me out of Texas I can tell you that wasn't Robert weren't you asking
what's the if we had a suggestion like you could go to one Friday night lights
location in Texas my brother-in-law from up north asked for a tour and take him
anywhere and that's the whole state.
Anywhere in the state, you can go to one football game.
One night.
I could do two games in one night if they're close,
but I got one night.
Yeah, Blake is better suited to answer this question now
than I am.
I've been out of the game.
One thought is like you just go for the broke
and go to Southlake, go to Allen,
go to a massive, massive one
and see what it is now.
And then the other thought is you probably
maybe try to find a power in the middle, in West Texas.
Like what if you went to Abilene Cooper's
or any of those schools dominant?
I feel like there's a 3A team somewhere
that I don't know about.
Would there be some beauty to going to Permian though
if you've read that book and you really love it?
I think it depends on the game.
Because then if it's a rivalry game,
the students show up from both schools,
and the atmosphere is way better.
But if you get some 60 point spread,
then that's not gonna be very exciting.
Blake will take care of it.
It's September, it's the first college football week.
They schedule good games then.
Yeah.
Maybe some of them.
Send me the date, I'll send you.
Okay, thank you.
I'll get you taken care of.
Argo, number four in the state, come on.
Is that upsetting or are you like cool?
Tepper, what are you doing?
Dude, we should have him on someday just to.
We will.
Just to.
To rip him? To talk about this in particular.
Oh.
Just how he gets...
Nobody gets more hate mail in the state of Texas outside of Greg Abbott
than the freaking managing editor of Dave Campbell's Texas football.
Oh, because he picked Duncanville to beat North Shore or something.
Didn't... You left my son off. You...
Guy's getting a lot of hate mail from a place of love
Hey today in Twitter is also sportsy for me
It is brought to us by gameday men's health though because we were out there yesterday and they are offering
10% off your testosterone bit for life

he said he had just had two guys in that previous hour
before we were there just kind of do a pop in.
Yeah.
They did not call ahead for an appointment or anything.
They just popped in, which you can do at Game Day Men's Health.
I was kind of hoping somebody would show up while we were
there and they'd let me do the injection.
But they had two guys that popped in and said they popped in because they heard about them on the dumb zone

The Dumb Zell presents
Today in Twitter. I don't know if you got anything
um the thing I have that sports related and
me related in a weird way is
Michelle tefoya we go to Twitter.. Oh no. How's she been? From 2023. I feel like she has to be flying. May 18th, 2023. Michelle
Tafoya tweets, while on a flight to New York City to appear on It looks like some Fox show. I was handed this note by a flight attendant
so this is after she's retired from the sideline right and
Now we're finding out she's like pretty hardcore on the right right wing II and that's her bitch. She wants to
She wants to build the wall the litter boxes out of the classroom right that type yeah, maybe important stuff
She was handed this note by a flight attendant
I won't reveal the person's name
But it made my day to say the very least and then we follow that up with one two that five exclamation points
She's fired up
She says Mabel that maybe this will inspire you to subscribe, all caps.
And then she has the Michelle Tafoya podcast link.
And the note, and here's a picture of her hand holding the note.
And it says, on a personal note, I want to thank you for the work you do.
I always enjoyed your work with the NFL.
But listening to your podcast is wonderful, too.
Your voice of reason
brings me a little hope in what seems a dark world. Again, thank you. And that was July 8th, 2025, and Michelle Tafoya tweets that she was just handed a note
by a flight attendant.
And it is the exact same note. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o I want to thank you for the word like this is crazy No, so you know in the same spot Ted Emmerich told us that Jim Nance carries around a laminated card with a picture of toast
The way he likes it cooked right so he can just show it to somebody
So is she just carrying around a thank you for your reason card that she can just say oh just somebody just handed me this
Anytime or is she just god.'s a bad bit yeah obviously she's
forgetful but she's a liar also she someone probably originally gave her that note I'm
hoping it's kind of funny bit who did she say gave it to her this time flight attendant? She said a flight attendant so like
It's pretty long for a napkin
Yeah It's not a napkin. It's a piece of paper. Do I say napkin? No, I just assumed flight attendant
That's what Bob writes all his phone numbers on when he's
Trolling tail on the plane when he's flying around. All right, so that and that
Was today in Twitter. That's what we got
Want to slide right into you? Okay, so we have a hot springs report
We have viewer mail
Which is there's sports mixed into there unless you have another oh didn't we want to promote at least Jake?
I wrote an article for D magazine. You don't want to promote that sure I do
Trayvon yeah we're heating up Cowboys talk it's a lot of stuff that we've
talked about here but just the bewilderment over you know Trayvon
Diggs played three years in the NFL and was great got a massive contract then
immediately got hurt in his fourth year,
rehabbed on his own from that injury,
and then came back in his fourth year, and, excuse me.
What do you mean rehabbed on his own?
It wasn't always a team.
Just not team related, okay.
Right, so then he comes back from that injury
for his fifth year, our most recent one,
and he's hurt all year.
It's clear that his rehab didn't go well. He wasn't effective when he played. He was on injury reports during the week all year.
He got hurt again and then eventually they shut him down in December because the season was over,
but he was hurt all year. And that prompted Jerry to, when asked this year about, hey,
how do you think Trayvon's rehab is going? He said, well, I think it's going great,
because we're hoping he learned from last time.
Last time, maybe things didn't go so great,
which resulted in him getting hurt again.
But we think he's learned from that.
So we think this rehab's going great.
And I thought, man, that's a pretty direct shot at Trayvon.
But he's a guy who could be cut next year.
It would be a big cap charge charge but also a big cap savings.
And uh I thought that was a shot from Jerry and then I saw where Trayvon Diggs is releasing a
documentary about his rehab. I'm like oh man you must be serious because like Jerry's saying
gotta have a good rehab this time. So I went and found the rehab, and it's just of the old shitty rehab that Jerry called out.
Trayvon just released the documentary afterward.
You watched the whole thing?
That's three 20-minute episodes or 15-minute episodes, and...
It must suck if you didn't bring any audio here.
There's almost no audio.
To be clear, they clearly filmed it at the time.
You know, they didn't know Jerry was going to call him out. So they were filming it at the time, you know, they didn't know Jerry was gonna call him out
So they were filming it at the time, but I think they all do this now It's not it's a guy with a gimbal, you know an iPhone or camera holder and a nice camera
And he just follows them around while he works out
It's not a documentary
Per se so I think they were just filming it because that's what they do and are we now just proving and then
She was working out and the craziest thing. I'm not going to tell you to waste your time
But if you'd like to have a conversation with me
I'd like someone else to watch it watch it and just ask yourself does Trayvon digs like exercise and if your answer is the same
As mine no, then I think that's interesting because he put it out. He needs to go to game day men's health, although I do believe the NFL
probably has rules around that, but he looks like me at my worst being like, and
you know who it is other than his trainer? There's an episode that's just
Micah and it's Micah telling him like get off your ass.
Trayvon Diggs is a weird type of athlete.
I think if you played sports growing up,
you probably met him.
He's like insanely quick, lightning fast,
like blink of an eye, game changer athlete
who spends all of the rest of their time
trying to expend as little energy possible
be it talking
moving
Anything he's just
Right even while talking the lips aren't moving that much and when Mike is telling him like he's I'm gonna
That's interesting cuz I've also kind of heard that Mike is no know like you're never gonna see a documentary about the hill that he
Runs up every month while that is true, and I am also not saying Micah's like a workout fiend I'm comparing him to Trayvon in this documentary. I've also heard reports that the Micah scene has changed. Oh, yeah
He's got a he's got a new guy
I'd like to have him on some time, but he does have a new guy and like Luca
I mean that's often what happens yeah now who knows with Luca cuz he did get paid like Micah is about to get paid and wants
to
That's great. I'm glad to hear that about Micah if that's the case cuz I've that was a concern
You know it's not like he he's the biggest guy or anything
and you just wonder about his conditioning.
Could that have him have a drop off pretty significantly
after he does get the contract?
It's the, it's his body type, but it's also,
run the ball guy doesn't want him to have a podcast,
but he'll let him have a podcast as long as he's in tip top
shape and producing late into the season and in the playoffs.
And that you have to be in great shape to do that.
And probably run the ball guy would like to see that Mike is working out.
So maybe have some workout videos out there too.
Well, just podcast in your free time. Not.
Thank you.
I don't want it to replace your film study.
I also know you're playing mad on Twitch and I know you're I know run the ball guy, but
My point is just Micah opens himself up to that criticism by having a podcast so he's got to be
Like overly dedicated to try to you know sniff out the haters. I don't want you to have free time
try to sniff out the haters. I don't want you to have free time.
That's God family football.
And that is how football fans treat quarterbacks.
Like if you fail, it's just, did you go,
you went to Disney World?
Right.
And that's why, yes, if you're going to play this game of the way it's been,
then you don't want to appear that you were doing anything.
Yeah.
That's just, that's the Cabo thing.
Don't go to, well, you probably actually
shouldn't go to Cabo.
That's not just about appearances.
That's a little more of the, you know,
if you want to do a little cocaine,
but you have two weeks left in your season,
what if you waited two weeks?
Or whatever it is, like whatever it is, Cabo.
I think they sold themselves. It's like whatever it is, Cabo. I think they sold themselves.
It's good to be relaxed, but who knows?
To wrap it up on Trayvon, I just think
it's interesting because it's time for,
we're going to find out about cool dad Schottenheimer
pretty quick because his bad kid is coming back.
His kid who doesn't really want to be here.
It's cool.
You went to dinner with Micah, and Dak says george pickens. You're shooting free throws. Well
Travon is an active conflict with the boss right now like he's
Giving fuck use to jerry
Left and right
And his boss is the cool guy. He's good. Hey, everybody's having fun, man. We'll see
I bet the jerry control over the rosters never been stronger sorry go ahead is this his last year with the
Cowboys it could be because the Ron Bland is a free agent and is going to
get 20 million a year more now that the markets but the thing about Trayvon's
deal I also think this is odd and it's weird to criticize a player for this
But he didn't like break the bank. I
Think you know he got kind of like average money. Oh
Really? Yeah, I mean he became maybe the ninth
10th highest paid corner, which usually because they got him early. They got him early which helped. It was a great deal much like
Oso was just early in the process but...
They've done some good deals. It's just Trayvon's not the type of guy to be like,
I'm the best.
Pay me like the best or I'm holding out.
Whereas like, CD and Micah know they are, so they do it.
It's an interesting dynamic.
So, it's your call on what we do next.
Springs...
or Males.
I wanna do Viewer Mail.
Oh yeah, wait a minute, Uncle Hotmail.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, Uncle Hotmail.
Uncle Hotmail.
Bracket Dan at Hotmail.com.
It works every time.
Is there an email in your box for me?
Blake.JonesRadio at Gmail.comcom jkempp88 at gmail.com
the other 88
What was it for?
For Michael Irvin
Don't email Clayton, he's on Discord
For Michael Irvin
It was for Michael Irvin?
Yeah
And then all of a sudden Dez has it and you're also real happy
Dez had it, that you're also real happy. Dez had it. That was sweet.
But then sometimes racists, Antonio Bryant, sometimes
racists think I'm in with them, and sometimes piano teachers
think I'm in with them.
Because they're 88 years old?
Well, 88 keys.
So my piano teacher, her email address ended in 88.
And then sometimes white supremacists will put 14.
I asked her.
She didn't think it was funny.
Will put 14 and 88 in their email for Nazis.
Oh, really?
I'm not very good at either, piano or being a Nazi.
Did you want to
talk about one of our?
Yeah, do you want to start off with the Lone Star Beer one? Yeah, okay. Let me pull it.
We got the video in there. I could say Lone Star Beer is the sponsor.
Yeah, so this is from... Got a few Lone Star Beers in the fridge there for you Robert if indeed you want to partake.
No, thank you for Robert.
That's what I'm all about.
This one comes through is from Ben and Ben has quite the story. He's a day five subby from Dallas.
He describes it as dumb zoned global expansion deployment in London.
He's traveling with his son. He has a 20 year old son who's with him this summer. He's taking college courses at the University College London. They're
going to a bunch of different European cities together. Doesn't this sound sick
Blake? Like imagine if you figure out life enough to where 20 years from now
you're just with your son in Europe. Mm-hmm. Like, oh let's go see what cool
breweries they have over here. So they toured the Carlsberg Brewery,
one of the most famous breweries in the world.
I don't know how big it is, I don't know.
It's in Copenhagen, it's huge.
And there they found the Red Can,
or at least the Red Bottle,
in a building with hundreds of thousands,
probably millions of beer bottles, they found
the red bottle, the trusty Lone Star bottle.
I was telling my wife about this and she was like, of course they have it.
She's like, do you not remember how obsessed people in Europe were with Texas?
And nothing is more Texas than Lone Star beer.
Lone Star beer.
They've been brewing 140 years in Texas. And Lone Star beer Lone Star beer they've been brewing a hundred and forty years in Texas and Lone Star light
They didn't have a blue bottle
Because I'm more of a Lone Star light guy, but do now
Also, they got awesome merch and the dumb zone 21 is set up on the website
Go to lonestarbeer.com use that code dumb zone 21 to get 21% off merchandise
You must be 21 or over to purchase
to perch the merch
So cool let's our beer in
In England no, oh where was it?
Scotland
Where was it Maine?
It was over there somewhere, right? Yeah, Denmark. Denmark.
Where's that near, Blake?
Finland and stuff.
Yeah, I would go with that.
Probably some snow.
Got a guy who says, don't use my name.
The subject line is first wiener pick.
What's his name? He says, dear tw use my name. The subject line is first wiener pick. What's his name?
He says, dear twat taste taster.
Can we mention the bit that we learned on Business Wednesday?
Yeah, I'll be tactful about it at first.
Be vague about it.
And we'll just be specific later.
So some sponsors, we enjoy our time with with them and then they come and they go.
Some of them you may notice are more in the mix regularly. They're our friends, we know they're
gonna treat you right. But then there's like bigger brands and they have people who don't know our
show. They don't know you and what you the viewer and the listener wants and somebody at an agency an agency is a company that buys media for these companies they found a clip of
It appears that at the start in your show when this guy is he's Dan that's Dan
He reads an email from listeners viewer mail
Do you have one of the montages available and he will at, at the start of that, read names that sound like they are derived
from vaginal nicknames, like the female anatomy.
And then one of you put all those together
and do a two-minute clip.
And that clip ended up in New York City,
and some fancy ad buyer who didn't get the joke.
And it cost us a lot of money.
We're not sure this show lines up with the values of the brain.
Good morning, Titan of the Tang.
And then, Buenos dias, Uncle Hot Gash.
Moosing is fun.
You gonna send the house?
I might.
Hello, Uncle Juice Wallet.
Yeah, so somebody found that.
That cost us.
That cost us more than you think.
Many thousands of dollars.
And I suppose we could have reached out and been like,
oh, tell them it's a bit.
Again, I was Luca with my hand up.
Like, it got a foul.
I was like, right here.
But this is the old days.
We would have a meeting right now about how the sky is falling.
And do you understand what it's like to lose a five figure
dollar buy?
Because yes, they had something on the books for the fall.
Yeah.
Ouch.
And they canceled it kind of out of nowhere.
Things were going real well.
Everything was good last year and everything.
So yeah.
And again, to Dan's point.
Thumbs up for Lone Star Beer and Lone Star Light.
They were just like, yeah, it's because of this.
And then I was like, yeah, well, that tracks. Like, how much we could say.
Anyway, dear Twat Taster.
What it is?
Subject line is first wiener pick.
My wife is on a girls trip to the beach.
Nice.
As per usual, the wine was flowing.
We're both 48 years old, been married 20 years. At 11 p.m. one night, I
was asked for a d-pick for the first time in my life. Nice! Dude, you know it's all
of them. That's all of them. Oh yeah. They're all together and they're all... see which
one'll do it. They have a cute divorced friend with them who is running around
with younger guys. I'm guessing the d-pick is par for the course these days and
My why no wife wanted in on the action
After some back and forth I let her have it. Oh
No
her response was
Why is it hard?
What she want come on so
What did I reply you asked?
Quote, well I ain't sending no softy.
There you go.
I just wanted to say thank you to you guys for preparing me for this moment.
My wife has asked in situations like that before, like out with the girls, and I just know it's a and I've just I've said no, but I have taken it
Cuz you know, she's just gonna show it. Yeah, and I don't even care that people like are embarrassed about it
It's just that I know it's a screenshot like a porn like a real giant
Photo shot my head that huge black guy sitting on the edge of the bed died no, but I
I will tell you this.
I have taken the photo for that scenario.
So it's in the cloud?
Well, I deleted it, went to delete it, deleted it,
deleted it, deleted it, but it's somewhere.
Oh, yeah.
But I looked at it and was like, I'm not sending this to her.
Why is it that color?
You should get in a cold tub and Photoshop the hand
mark off small as you possibly can dude I had a super awkward moment on vacation
and like they may hear this I guess it's a come-up later we'll save that for
hot springs talk how about that how about that all right at a tiny wiener
moment going boys anybody else or is this just Dan?
Uh, no, let's hop on in here. Let's see. Oh for Mason. I don't think Dan knows what sloppy seconds are
He thinks it's the leftover girls that the stud doesn't choose as opposed to getting the girl after she's already been cleaned out by the stud
Oh, really? Is that more what it is? Yeah.
Oh I thought it was like a... The hanger on.
No it's sloppy because it's been destroyed by stud.
Well why would she? She doesn't want to be with me then.
Yeah but he tells her she has to. She was just with Chris Webber.
I know but now Chris Webber's like, hey if you're gonna hang out at the home he's got to get some.
It's like that.
It doesn't mean you get the 10 sixes.
Okay, so and she's really upset because she's already been with him and she knows she's on her way out the door.
But she knows she has to you to him.
That's sloppy seconds.
You never get the sloppy first where I can try it out first.
It's not sloppy.
Chris, this is good. You should also get in on this.
I didn't damage it too much
You're gonna be fine like his after
After my friend Chris Weber, I don't know how I've become friends with Chris Weber here There are a million athletes, but this one but after it doesn't feel like that'd be a really hard one to follow
So that's that's from Mason Adrian. I
Got have a sect to me in October. I got a vasectomy in October.
I got a giant painful hematoma.
I knew right away something wasn't right
because the procedure was way too painful.
It was a different pain for sure.
Just letting you know in case you're considering,
which I am.
He said, my case is uncommon, but it can't happen.
If I could have more kids, I think these girl names
are due for a comeback.
This is an interesting thought here, right?
Because we see now with Nora, my daughter's name
and all these other ones, we have these old names
coming back, so he says these three names
due for a comeback.
Angela, which was number five in 1976, but is currently number
282. So he's trying to identify the next...
The rebound candidates.
Stephanie was number six in 1986. It's currently 533.
Wow, what a fall. Vanessa was 41, and it is falling to 335.
So is it when you have a daughter in 2033,
you name her Stephanie, and she sounds like an Ethel?
Angela's the only shot, and that's a bad shot.
The other two, no way.
They sound like 80s names, but that's the point, right?
Is that-
You want a retro.
If it comes back,
which speaking of that, man, I saw,
I saw this thing on social media.
It was a gym, an outdoor gym being advertised.
It was several thousand dollars.
And it was basically,
it looked like a prison yard gym, but it was
Built with like tan colors and leather and like it just it's just pull-ups. It's bar. It's a fucking jungle gym
It's it's it's uber saying we created taxi cabs or whatever
It's right. It is the most basic straight. It's everything you need frankly if you're a bodyweight person, but it's like nine ten thousand dollars
It's just a jungle gym that probably smells kind of like cologne right call this table a baby changing table and all
God charge four thousand more for it the grift. I got two anchor phrases the first from Steven
What else do you doff besides your cap?
That's a good one.
And Spangled.
Yeah, what do we-
The only thing that's Spangled is Star.
That from Not Hot Girl Jess.
That's really good.
I don't even know what Spangled means.
I'd probably like adorned.
Like...
Replete with.
I thought Blake said he had two.
Doff your cap and start spangling.
Oh, there you go.
This is from Wutterberger, Bailey.
Could be a lady.
It's a hot name. It's really a hot name for either gender, to be honest.
Yeah. Greetings bracket, Dan.
Just want to say thanks for the Whataburger slash dumb zone car tray.
I know Blake saw me get a tray and leave without buying anything.
Please let him know it was because it was so crowded.
It's okay. I went to the other Whataburger on El Dorado and Frisco.
I got a number two and watched the live stream from there.
We don't get credit for that.
Right, they're not tracking it that way.
I think they're still pretty happy, though,
that Bailey came by.
I'm not against Bailey.
Blake is still against you, dude.
Or lady. I'm not against Bailey Blake is still against you dude or Lady I have one from this is from my friend totes
You may know him as Jeff
Photographer extraordinaire bubble right oh yeah, but he's the best I mean all the great stout star stuff
But he's just these dudes insane. I wish we could pay him
dollar stuff but he's just, dude's insane. I wish we could pay him.
He went to A&M, one of the rare cool A&M guys
and he was a little perturbed by my NBA Finals reporting
which was a Kemp spin on Alex Caruso
because Aggie Alex Caruso at the age of 27
after winning an NBA championship was promptly arrested
for weed in College Station.
And we were like, okay, I know you live there,
but are you going back to College Station when you're 27,
you got millions and millions of dollars,
like is that where you want to be partying?
It felt kind of icky.
Like you want to go frat party?
Well, Toad says no.
I know this Alex Caruso.
He's a friend of mine and I will not have you
be smirching him on your program.
I think I was implying like he was going back
and hanging out with sorority chicks and stuff.
He's like, no, he was with his girlfriend.
Now, he still has this girlfriend.
Is he sure of the best burrito in the world?
One of the free birds?
Yeah.
Still has this girlfriend,
but here's why I found this interesting.
So she went to A&M.
She was on Big Brother.
She is listed as an influencer.
And I found out that they are not married.
I wanted to find out, like, oh, he had this girlfriend that...
I have an image in there of the totes and Caruso.
Also wanted to let me know that Alex Caruso,
big Jean Shorts guy in college, like unironically.
So there's college Alex Caruso in totes.
Where was I going with that?
That photo completely distracted me.
You called for it.
The picture's so A&M.
It is very A&M.
His girlfriend was on Big Brother
Oh, all right when he was traded to the Lakers or scooby-doo the Thunder like
She had posts and comment about it
not married
feels
She had wait like posts and comments about like thank you so much to the city of Chicago and oh
She was like can you girlfriend to trade? She's being Kelly Stafford without being married. That's what I'm saying
They're married Oh, dude. I mean all of
Signed a contract we got traded we for sure remember when like Dane got traded or somebody and there was
We got traded we for sure remember when like dame got traded or somebody and there was like
At a Portland hospital or something that I'm gonna look at the other way because I know you're banging chicks on the road
You're also going to then play this game where we are the ones
In a transaction, it's right. It's it's all together. I think you have to have a ring to weigh in on a trade though
Like oh, you're not agree. You're coming. But times are changing, you know? Guess so.
Dear the In Muff Man who lives on Puntang Lane, I'm finally remodeling my bathroom after
15 years. Remo? It looks like he's doing a remo on the bathroom.
I assume that the door to door bathroom remodeler would have
given me a new one after we moved in, like in Texas.
But apparently up here in Pittsburgh, nothing is given.
So before it's gone, I thought I should send you
a picture of the toilet.
Here it is with its lid wide open and a seat down awaiting a middle-aged man
That is a Pittsburgh toilet right there. It is maroon
so great it is a colored toilet and
we've said
we want to have a colored toilet here like
Do you think it'd be cool to have a I do a Cowboys blue toilet here in the den
You want like a second toilet around the corner?
Now that's you're taking this way in an area that I would never even think of
No, you're talking about different color. Yes
I think the black toilet it looks cool, but it is shocking when you see your number two on it
I didn't know that but that's really kind of the case for any color, but man
I reference this with shag carpeting the other day
My dad lived in a house for a long time. I think it was owned by his mother-in-law
it was like a banger of a house in
1971 and every toilet was crazy colors. I remember the pink toilet.
They had a red toilet. All the carpet was crazy. All the tiles was wild. It was a different design
time, but I guess we just went away from it. You don't see it much. This is from Aaron who says,
And here are a couple of anchor words. Okay.
Star-Crossed.
Yeah.
What follows Star-Crossed?
Lover.
That's right.
Um, unrequited.
Love.
And then he has Lindsey Stirling.
Amazing.
He writes, Sucks.
Please let Blake know that all of the musicians on the stage in Colorado including Lindsey Stirling suck
I thought they were pretty good
Symphony when is this evening of bad songwriting and mediocre violin playing going to end and then he writes more Blake that's from Aaron
He writes more Blake. That's from Aaron.
I enjoyed the show.
A guy who doesn't want his name mentioned,
sometimes he sends me emails from his work.
I think just to make us appreciate our work.
This one just says, this was to him.
No context.

Why'd you read that?
Scott has a question about sports,
the basic structure of how we put together teams
in this country.
This is probably because we were talking about, you know,
Cooper flag and
The concept of the draft and the NBA and American sports that we don't have in Europe. Is this a gummy thought?
It can be. Let's do one. Let's do this and then get to it to the gummy thought
He says high school or college players are entered into a draft where the worst teams
have the best chance to take them.
Right now.
Free agents that they want to leave can sign with whoever is able to.
You flip it.
Flag or Arch can sign wherever they want.
But if you are Dak or Saquon or Otani and you want to leave, there's a free agency lottery
where the worst teams have the best chance to sign you. More
loyalty to the team that picked you. There's no more Zion or Conor McDavid or
Andrew Luck stuck ruining their career in this shitty franchise. So you're not drafted.
There's no draft. There's basically no draft. That's a free agent thing. You go
where you would have to cap it, right? You'd have a pool. You'd have to cap it right you'd have a pool you'd have a amount of money you could spend but yeah You could highest paid yeah, so really
You know in theory let's say the Cowboys get they could get the top five players coming out of college one year
And then if they wanted to or maybe the way the cap is you could only get one of a top tier
Yeah, they probably got away, but the key is that on the end of it, like you should have to.
There's no draft, though.
Yeah, I'm trying to think.
Because there would never be anybody.
Like, so you're on one of those good teams and everybody's on those good teams.
Yeah. But if you want to leave,
because the good team is like, I can't pay everybody, what's the protocol? There's like a waiver order
basically. Okay. There's a waiver order and probably you have to do some sort of
like waiting waivers. So you can only go to Pittsburgh if and then if
they say I don't want you, well now Cleveland is correct. And maybe you have
to do it like conference, divisionallyally something but yeah I don't think
obviously it's not happening but the point is the way we do it is really
weird I can't stop thinking about how lucky Cooper flag is fuck Nico Cooper
flag is lucky seven years in Dallas or seven years in Charlotte to build
yourself as a global brand like insane insane look I got one for me from Brandon for you. He's got a 25 year
old wife that did not speak English until she was four. Her parents immigrated here
from Iran in the 70s. And he is sending me this to report on her transformation because
I don't think we're just radicalizing the young men.
He says, she threw out our plastic Tupperware
and cutting boards,
and then asked me to buy her a gun last week.
Her Instagram feed,
Tucker Carlson,
Candice Owen,
Paul Soledino,
the carnivore and anti-plastic dude,
RFK,
people saying someone will fuck your wife if you don't wake up at 2.30 in the morning.
I'm not sure what's going on,
but 25-year-old women are one election cycle away from,
maybe they should go back to where they came from.
Damn.
You start, you start doing microplastics.
What did not speak English until four have to do with that story?
I think he means that typically, and this is certainly not across the board because
a lot of immigrants end up very conservative, but I think he's saying you flee in Iran,
probably a pretty progressive family.
You're an immigrant. You're not just like some Bible thumping American Christian, which is typically the audience you think of for Tucker Carlson or Charlie Kirk.
No, it's hot 25 year old Persian immigrant.
If she fled Iran in the 70s, her parents, her parents were fleeing the well Before the Shah, they were fleeing the radical Islamists.
They were fleeing the radical Islamists, they were also elites.
Right. The people leaving at that time, I mean, yeah, so it's a very like posh to-do society.
Yeah, you could afford to flee here. Right.
Uh... The title of this subject line of this email was Jake Roy.
Uncle Hotmail. Oh, fuck, I know. I'm finally binging succession after hearing you guys discuss it when it was new.
This is going to hit too close.
When I saw the scene where Roman is jerking it while the older lady,
Jerry, humiliates him, I immediately thought of Jake. Oh, good.
That's so good. I'm getting a robe.
I thought I was gonna get Kendall.
Like just somebody who's useless after rehab.
Like, not cool anymore.
I'm not done reading.
Okay.
But after his Qalys rap performance,
all I can think of is Kendall at Logan's birthday party.
Exactly.
Then he says, any chance of a dumb zone
Cirque crossover from DF Matt
No
Absolutely not
Don't our shows apart Sam who says
He is one of our few gay listeners and a true gold star gay. Yeah, he said he was at the Whataburger remote
Stargay. Yeah, he said he was at the Whataburger remote and
He says I'll allow Blake to get one F slur pass for each Steve Noviello appearance
Yeah, and he also says I left very hard at that I gave Dan some Andes gift cards and was wearing the Lone Star queer shirt
Jake complimented this but I don't think he realized it said queer and not beer.
I didn't, and if I would have, I would have complimented you twice.
It was stylized exactly like Lone Star Beard said Lone Star Queer.
I think we run this by Steve and see if he's okay with it.
Sure.
He also, he said that he was a fan of like our military operation names.
He had some ones that were not very good.
And so then I started thinking like... See, I wasn't even some ones that were not very good.
And so then I started thinking like about.
See, I wasn't even gonna say that.
I know.
I was gonna let the guy live.
I was gonna write him some for like for Gay Pride,
but I don't have many.
Oh.
This is collab with a butt, Rocky Chode,
Nuttercrotch, Neapolitan,
and Rapefruit Sorgay.
Thank you, Bob.
Okay, so gay ice cream, I like this.
Do you?
Yeah, I'm thinking.
I mean, obviously Rocky and-
See, you didn't even read the best part of his email,
which was, and maybe somebody's done it before, but Ayat had told her come in me is that got me. Oh, yeah
Yeah
From a gay guy like I felt very emboldened to laugh at that entire email
Do you want to do a gummy thought before I do my last actual viewer mail? I have one more
Yeah, I'm gonna get you a couple quick ones here
Aliceo our grapevine grandfather. This is not gummy. This is okay. This is gummy. Sorry. I'm sure I misunderstood you

LSAO is the Grapevine guy grandfather
who came to the DCGSE with a broken hand
that he had sustained in a fight outside of a Tom Thumb
in Grapevine, he emailed me,
what I think is just the most basic gummy thought of all,
which is just sitting outside during a storm
and seeing lightning and being like, fuck.
How?
What's happening here?
Regardless of where you fall.
That's been happening a lot this week.
Yeah, regardless of where you fall on, you know,
God, the universe, nature, all of this should be amazing.
You know, gravity should be constantly bewildering to you.
Life itself.
Life itself, the fact that you create it, you know,
from your balls.
But you take all that for granted.
And then occasionally, whatever thing is in charge is like,
don't forget me, I can electrocute the sky pretty much anytime
and you're just sitting there like whoa no last night I was like what if
something hits a tree falls into your house then all of a sudden this is
that's just gonna screw my night up yeah I'd be a real bummer. But so this other gummy thought, this one's from me.
I get really tripped out.
Farmers really need this rain though.
Lake levels.
Are you a...
You don't get there, he's got a gauge.
I'm saying you got a gauge, you run the ball guy,
but like during storm, did you have storms last night?
We did.
A little bit.
And was just thinking, this is great. Like I feel like run-the-ball guy when I'm like really it's July
It's mid-july and it's storming here. This is fantastic. Really the grass the trees really need this
I felt incredibly lame because I had a sprinkler man appointment yesterday
Front swing French swing clears weren't weren't working
The valve cover came off, some wires were exposed,
we just had to cap them off.
But I told them as he was fixing it,
yeah the front sprinklers hadn't worked in about a week,
but thank God for this rain.
Hell yeah.
Boy, you know he felt that.
Yeah.
No, but the thing that trips me out is when I read
or hear people talk about their internal dialogue
Because I didn't know that there were people that sort of actually claimed to not have one
And I think mine is, I don't know, I only know mine pretty hardcore
I feel like sometimes I'm lucky if there's only one voice constantly running in my head
But I was thinking about this the other night. So when you listen to
audio of yourself like 20 years ago, you can clearly tell that your voice sounds different,
right? But as you're talking right now, you can't think, oh, that sounds different than
20 years ago, right? It sounds like you do now. my point is as you get older like when
you're an old man when you're 90 does your internal dialogue sound like a
90 year old man because there's no way when I was five when I was talking in my
head it sounds the way I do when I'm 39 it probably sounded like I did when I
was four or five but unless I'm doing like racist bits, my voice in my head sounds like this, right?
What you're hearing.
But as I get older and my voice changes,
I don't realize it because I'm not comparing
and contrasting my current voice to a past voice ever.
It's happening.0001% of the time every day.
So I'm just thinking when I'm 95
and I'm thinking in my head, like am I just gonna be thinking I'm hammered
They under tonight like is that what it'll sound like?
No, does your voice in the head mine changes if I've like if I watch Shane Gillis
Comedy, uh, oh that definitely happens to everybody. Then all of a sudden I'm thinking
In the voice of Shane Gillis. Like that cadence or whatever.
That's why you had such a tough time when Chris Rock was on top of the world.
No, I know what you mean, but just the basic of how you sound.
Why are-
It's weird to me.
Don't you eat the food!
She can just walk by this leaf laying in the middle of the living room day after day.
So that's your that's my Chris Rock.
That's gummy.
My final email for today.
This one's pretty good.
My final two emails.
This is from a man named Townsend.
Good.
Strong.
You guys have never said, just a nice email. He's saying good things about us, love what you're doing, all that kind of stuff, right? Growing up in Slina, I would like to tell
Argyle Bootlicker Blake,
Go ahead.
that two football state championships is cute.
Call us when you have nine,
even though I contributed nothing to any of them.
Bob Cat. From Townsend Keller.
I guess like winning the last seven out of eight games
means nothing.
Seems like we've passed you by but okay if you want
To live in the past Bobcat go ahead Townsend Keller. That's his name. Yeah
God, it's pretty awesome. Yeah, it feels like
He could extend the long arm of a law
That was my penultimate
Come on up to 5a love it come on up to 5a slina
We'll see what you got we got the book right there
Caleb says I would like to echo Clayton's problems
Having a giant head god. I got a lot of head email head depth
My half size
Here's the problem. I had with Clayton's thing.
So he bought a cool Whataburger hat.
It's awesome.
Yeah.
And it was sitting on my desk at our Game Day Men's Health
Studio downtown when I walked in, tag on and everything.
And he said he never wore it.
You bought it off the internet wore it you bought it off the internet
Or wherever you bought it your black market water burgers sites
They linked on our slash fast food if one of us could get to the dark web doubt He might go to the dark web, dude
Are you mean you could do this gave me the most the point is he would know he would the point is he would know
How to find a market to fence those trays.
He's got Biden's.
How do we know he's not?
He asked me for like five things yesterday and I go, yeah, okay.
This is a regular Ohio State situation where he is profiting off.
Anyway, my thing was you just never tried it on.
I don't have to.
It bothers me as much as when I see Jake on the other side of Whataburger the other day
and he's shaking hands and he's clapping and everybody's telling him how great he is and
he's a hero.
And then I look over next to me and his phone is sitting on like a booth the the seat
This is after the show and everybody's walking around dude like he just leaves his phone there. He'll leave his keys there
He'll leave his wallet. He's such a trusting idiot
And it makes me so mad cuz you're someone's going to steal your phone. I don't be like I know dude
I didn't okay. You it you can't tell me.
And then you're gonna be condescending turn it around on me. My hat size is over
eight Caleb says. It's a big head. It's a huge head. I'm seven and five eighths so yeah that's a
massive head. As much as I've tried to train everyone not to buy me hats I'm a
dude who likes golf and baseball so Ellie every
relative tries at some point to gift me a hat they all go straight in the Good
Will bin big heads are real and we need our own awareness month okay so Caleb
and and K why and Clayton I would like to declare from this day forward on the dumb zone July is
Your month big head awareness month. We will make people aware
And I would think that'd be a gift for Clayton because he does wear a hat often so you're like
I don't know anything about Clayton. Let's get him a hat
Big boys I get hats all the time and I wear maybe two or three of them. All right, we're putting it out the call. We're putting it out
Cuz yeah yesterday even just him holding it
It kind of looked like an old-timey baseball hat where the the prim was like two inches sticking out
It was it was I'm with you. I know how I know hats Dan
No hats exasperated. I know hats
All right.

Protect yourself.
I saw this little sports story this morning.
Don't have much context for it.
That would have required a little more work.
But Rory McElroy, as you know, is a guy who is not shy in speaking about his sport, the
state of his sport, the whole live situation and what people should or shouldn't be doing.
And then over the last handful of months since he won the Masters he hasn't been playing all that well
and he gets really mad when people try to ask him questions and just had an
interesting couple years. It is funny I thought he had this momentum after
winning the mat and then it was like well but it was such a hill to
climb winning the Masters yeah and that did not carry over it boosted driver
What is that?
Is that what they're saying? There were people saying that that weekend. Yeah, what is that like torpedo bad of?
It's just clubs at golf rules your driver
Stuff people were golf bad driving stuff, but it's Rory, so tough spot.
So he's in Scotland, the Renaissance Club, and just play this Clayton because this was
presented to me as, boy, the American, I guess the PGA woke up to a real shot across the
bow from Rory here this morning.
I think it's the same thing. If, if venues and golf matter to you,
it maybe puts a little bit more pressure on you. So I, yeah, well,
I'd love to win an open a port rush. Absolutely.
I'd love to win an open at St. Andrews. I'd love to win a U S open at Pebble beach.
Um, I'd love to win a PGA at PJ Frisco. Not, but no.
It's like there's, there's venues in the game that just mean a little bit more Frisco might get
there one day. Who knows?
I mean, you know,
they've got to do it because Frisco had the bag and they've got the location,
but it's funny to me that even the golfers are like,
this is so ridiculous.
What are we doing here?
Ah, the storied hills of Frisco.
And just, you know, again, the commodification of the whole thing where,
like, somehow they're able to have tournaments at these historic places and that makes a ton of money and everything's fine.
But I guess you have to have more tournaments and to do that you need places like Frisco.
Can I piggyback off of this?
Because this was something that we missed
during our vacation.
Because WNBA is doing so well they want more teams.
They want to expand.
And Sophie Cunningham, who was traded from Phoenix to Indiana because she was sleeping
with the owner.
Is that right, Kim Spinn?
That's speculation would indicate that.
Okay, well when the speculation arose she got traded.
She's not a fan of the expansion because of some of the cities they may have to play in.
It's way more, you just get more opportunities.
And so I get that aspect.
But I also think that you want to listen to your players too.
Like where do they want to play?
Where are they going to get excited to play in Drawfee?
I do think that Miami would have been a great one.
Like everyone loves Florida.
Nashville is an amazing city.
Kansas City, amazing opportunity.
There's a huge arena downtown that no one's using.
And I think that the women's soccer league
is showing that like people draw, you know?
And so I'm not so sure what the thought process is there.
But at the end of the day,
you also want to make sure that you're not expanding
our league too fast.
I think that that's also another thing
that you don't want teams to totally dominate
and then have teams that aren't.
And so I just think that it's kind of a hard decision
making team or situation.
But man, I don't know how excited people are
to be going to Detroit or Cincinnati.
So she's like, I don't think people are gonna be excited
to play in Detroit or Cincinnati or Cleveland. And she team and she plays in Indianapolis. Okay, just making sure
We're apparently and then Detroit had a WNBA team and pulled really well while they had it
It's so funny hearing her talk all confidently like she knows anything about what she's talking about, too
But we've played this audio. You know what, we should let the players just decide.
Hey, you know what, I like, you know what city I like?
Let's just go play there.
It's funny too that she's like, you know Miami, Nashville
is a great city.
It's like, are we just doing bachelorette parties?
No, that's what we're doing.
I don't know, maybe we could do one at the.
What if we put all the teams in there?
Do one down in Waco at the...
At Chip and Joanna's place.
What about South Padre Island?
Yeah, I mean...
By the way, you say, oh, Detroit had a team
and they drew well, like you don't know
that's who the wings are.
Yeah, no, no, I was...
I just couldn't place...
I couldn't place where they came from.
That's what this computer here says.
No, but we played this audio where before Caitlin Clark,
they were flying economy.
They were lucky to get people in the arena.
And now that they are having their moment,
they're now like, no, not Detroit.
Not going there.
I'm too good for it now.
What, you want my autograph outside the team hotel?
You're a creep.
Oh yeah.
What are you guys doing here?
Yeah, you're weird.
The unfortunate thing about the news
is that a lot of times it radicalizes me
and I have to like go back to be like,
no, that's not okay.
You should not think like that.
Women are good.
Like the second things got great for the WNBA.
They just immediately hit on every female stereotype. Yes.
Like this is horrible. They're, they started fighting.
They started holding each other down.
They started complaining about the new thing.
They started hating the girl that got it for him.
They started immediately thinking everybody was creeping on them
Just because they were interested in them like
Come on
Hey, yeah
Let's talk about factor meals. Oh
Snap and then we'll do the news, you know, I a big factor guy. Yeah, got our factor meal order.
I think it was last week.
Our monthly order, chicken Florentine, dill crusted chicken
and cheddar broccoli grits, Parmesan cream shrimp
and zucchini dude.
Have you ever tried that one?
I have.
That's awesome.
There are.
The Parmesan cream shrimp and zucchini noodles.
It is fire.
That's probably not for you.
You want it a little healthier than your.
They're really all honestly.
They're all actually pretty healthy aren't they?
Especially if you're me or somebody who is like not eating well.
Every factor meal.
And the thing for me is I'm picky.
Like I don't.
I eat vegetables because I have to.
Not to enjoy them.
Factor meals I actually kind of like them. They're good vegetables
We've heard from people who have like teens. Maybe you got teen athletes and they're trying to eat healthy
Factor can do that for you because this stuff tastes good
So you can get started factor meals comm slash dumb zone 50 off no spaces in there
It's dumb zone 50 off to get 50% off plus free shipping
Dumb zone 50 off at factor meals comm slash dumb zone 50 off. It's good stuff
When I'm not eating fast food, I'm eating factor
There you go. That's a tag. Here's Jay
It is kind of fast, though.
It is.
I should have put that in the spot.
You know, you microwave it.
The convenience of the whole thing.
It's not a meal prep thing where you're like, oh, cool.
50 minutes in seven dishes.
In fact, it's a lot quicker than your fast food, Clayton.
You don't have to go anywhere.
There it is.
They're calling it.
Literally, that's why I have Factor in the fridge.
They're calling it Sprint Food.
Don't laugh at that.
No.
So yesterday, Dan got all, or Tuesday, Dan got all pissed
at me because I said that all of the news was about the flood,
because it is about the flood.
So I started trying to dig and see what else was happening
out there in the streets and I found this
good this nice good news story from Fort Worth if you want to play the video for
me Clayton. Do I have an audio cable Blake? No you don't. I don't have one? Nope. Where is it?
It's gone. Will you play the video while I look for it Clayton?
East Fort Worth is finally getting the welcome it deserves. Next
month the city breaks ground on a new highway 121 art installation featuring 10 foot steel letters
that spell out Fort Worth. The sign will light up at night giving drivers a bright bold welcome.
The one million dollar project is set to be complete by spring of 2026. That is your rush.
Look at that! There's a new sign over there
welcoming you to Fort Worth that's some good news you know I had a listener a
friend named Matt Stubbs he works in architectural design he was a part of
this project and I reached out to him for comment fine I reached out to him for
comment I was like, let's go.
This is what little brother Fort Worth needs to step out of the shadow of Big Brother Dallas and leave Dallas in a rear view mirror.
Move over Hollywood sign, we got a new sheriff in town.
The people of Fort Worth are so excited with this new sign.
this new sign.
As a small business owner who is looking at finances and what we spend on, and we had to have a committee
to approve the Game Day Men's Health Studio refrigerator,
which we purchased yesterday.
Meaning me, I purchased it.
It's in the back of the car.
Heck yeah. Now the whole thing in the back of the car. Thank you
Now the whole thing is getting it to the studio
Which I don't I don't want to be that guy, but I guess I have to be because I'm that guy
Anyway, just thinking of the expense and they okay. What is this is $200? Okay? That'll work Yeah, we can do that we can
1 million dollars for the sign?
$1 million.
But there wasn't just a sign.
Everything goes over budget, right?
It's going to go over budget.
They already did it.
Oh, it's up?
Yeah, I think so.
They already did it.
They got cool grass.
It was an artist rendering of the sign you just showed us.
Well, I believe the project is finished, or it's at least his.
You don't even know.
I know Matt's part of it is finished.
Our good friend Matt designed it.
Yeah, that's all he did the artist's rendering.
He's like, I don't know how to draw it.
Listen to how...
All right.
No, listen.
Hold on though.
Here, I'm going to hire you, Matt, and pay you $100, whatever their price is, design
a Fort Worth sign.
He's like, all right, well...
Listen to how excited the people of Fort Worth are start with an F and it will be a metaphorical gateway
But also reminding to use that they have a place on the map and encourage them to dream big don't they sound excited
Where's it gonna be it's in four. Well, I don't know I'm doing this story for you guys
What Blake off
121 I
Mean that drive that million dollars might have kept Haas Henry at TCU
I mean there there could have been better uses for that we could have paid for removal of all the
orange barrels that are at
121 and 35
Did you see the July 4th text dot sign?
Yeah, lit.
What was it?
Only fireworks should be lit.
Drive sober.
Drive sober.
That was actually a pretty good one.
Pretty good one.
Dan yesterday said,
hey, I didn't know if this was in your news or not,
but I heard this.
They have a Barbie with diabetes now.
And you know, we've seen this before, I believe, at one point.
She's got like a little.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Everyone chill out first.
We've seen special needs Barbie, right?
Yes.
They've done a Down syndrome Barbie,
and obviously the dating back years
You know people of color. This is a thing representation
in the Barbie world
so Dan said hey, did you know that there's a
there's a news story about a diabetic Barbie, but I think
Hand up again. I think I forget there's like a bad luck diabetes.
Diabetes, you know, type one.
And I think I always just focus on the fat guy diabetes. Cause I was probably like going to get it if I kept drinking and you know,
you just think of diabetes as a fat person thing. I think. Yeah.
This is so this Barbie doesn't have like a foot. So yeah,
so that's what we started talking.
It's like those Barbie with a little compression socks on and she has like the little rascal that she's not doesn't really have to have
Maybe like yeah, we need to be inclusive comes with a like a Ken doll with a mullet and like a Kyle Larson shirt
just
The type 2 diabetes Barbie, but no this is a type one diabetes Barbie that comes with a little glucose monitor.
So it's just pretty...
Childhood diabetes typically you're more type one.
Pretty light-hood, light diabetes, like a dusting of diabetes?
No, I think you can definitely.
It's bad.
And it's the one people don't feel bad for you for.
Gribble?
Yeah. Yeah, you don't feel bad for you for. Gribble? Yeah.
Yeah, you don't feel bad for you because it seems like, well, but I do feel bad he's got
like a little pack.
He's got to give himself shots all the time.
Oh yeah, it's definitely a...
That seems like you'd have to get used to it.
Yeah.
And then the next step is heroin, right?
I wonder if that's ever been like a gateway.
Hey, I got diabetes. I never would have used heroin, but? I wonder if that's ever been like a gateway.
Hey, I got diabetes.
I never would have used heroin.
But then I got so used to the needle, I was like, all right.
Look into that, Blake.
My guess is that has happened.
It's probably not something that happens a lot.
But yeah, I could see it.
Well, then let's outlaw diabetes.
I'll just, we can address that later. Let's get back to my stories here. Well, then let's out diabetes
Let's get back to my stories here
Are you trying to say you have no stories? No, no, I'm not I swear I'm not I was about to say to Blake
Did we tweet out a live stream link today on Twitter?
Because I didn't see one and it did look like there were like no no people watching so I was
Looking for a link Tell me I suppose. I'm that's why I wasn't gonna people watching, so I was looking for a link. Tell me what to post.
That's why I wasn't going to do it, but I did anyways.
We're going to do this story every single time it happens.
It was an ambulance stolen at Medical City Hospital Dallas,
and the guy made it to Palmer, Texas, Blake,
a city I'd never heard of.
Yeah, I can't help you. It's about 45 minutes south of Dallas on 45.
So we don't have any details.
This is just a quick hit on why this guy was at a hospital,
why he stole it.
45 minutes from a crowded downtown hospital.
Respect.
If you had to set a line whereby,
if you can get this far you win.
Yeah.
What is it?
Well it's got to be different for each case, right?
Like we can't have like child molesters being able to...
No, no, no.
I just mean how far you're going to drive the ambulance.
Yeah, but if you...
Certain people I think should just be able to get away.
If you just steal an ambulance and you get away for 45 miles on
the freeway
Then the ambulance is yours. I
Think you're at least free
Ambulance I could see being able to pull off. It's the it's the fire engine that you have no shot at right?
Ambulance is like a u-haul I
Would imagine Ambulance is like a U-Haul. I would imagine. Ummm... Oh, and then, yeah, this is our meet today.
Speak of the devil, just the other day we were discussing pirates and their place in the global economy in 2025.
I mean, what is Skeen's going to make on his first deal?
No, not the Pittsburgh baseball team, but I like it.
Do you?
I do.
It was quick.
But this is the Rio Pirates, and this is the Houthis.
This is an ethnic separatist group here,
maybe religious separatist group.
And they have started,
this has been going on for a couple years now really,
they've been attacking ships in the Red Sea
and some of it's symbolic where they'll attack ship lines
who have in any way provided support to Israel.
So if you are a shipping company
that provides aid to Gaza, you're def- or excuse me, to the IDF, these sorts of things,
they're definitely trying to blow that up. But if you're just a commercial shipping line
who they think is on the side of Israel, they'll blow your shit up. And they are doing it a lot, and they did it a few times in the last two days.
And one of them, if you want to start playing that video, I was telling you this the other day,
kill the audio on it if you can, I was telling you this the other day, Dan,
you can just watch wars online now.
And during Iraq and Afghanistan, it was a lot more like cell
phone video, and it was kind of trash.
But the Houthis now, with these attacks,
they'll have drone videos.
They'll have GoPros.
And this is just, you know, they've got a ground-to-air
missile here.
What's their country they're associated with?
Lebanon and the what?
Where they get the money for all these things.
Iran, yeah. Iran? Yeah. Because they could, with the money they're spending on that, Lebanon and what money for all these things Iran yeah around yeah because
they could with the money they're spending on that they could have a nice
new sign welcoming you to yeah yeah yeah but you'll see they they film them
launching the missiles and then they have a camera or another ship maybe what
do you think Bob what do you think this angle is coming from? Who's Bob? Who's filming this right now? That's our ship. So they have a ship out of the ocean
yeah that is filming the target so they can just have moment of impact
they'll put a little this is a four minute YouTube video just made by the
Houthis then and so what you'll see after is a drone video that they just come in and they'll film this ship sinking.
So,
there were a couple of these attacks.
Are they monetizing YouTube?
That's probably.
I wonder, like we're about to get
with a Rocket Money ad or something.
Yeah, no, are you allowed to?
Dude wipes.
Because that feels like the ultimate.
You're trying to figure what can go viral?
What if we had a missile that hit a ship?
And then we record the sinking.
So there was a Greek ship in the Red Sea.
Three crew members killed.
Another one lost a leg as they were trying to abandon it.
The Houthis put out all these,
I say it like it's a college football team,
but I don't know how else to talk about it.
It's really cool that they just went with the, right?
Like I always think Al Qaeda could have done better
if they had not done an Al, right?
The Qaeda?
Yeah, it's probably, I know it's not struggle, I don the kind of yeah it's probably that's not struggle I
don't even know what it means but that owl the hooties you know just sinking
that ship out there and yeah my wife was I don't know all fired up about this you
see what that missile did it goes flat and then it pops straight up.
And once it pops up there it can loiter and find a target.
Whoa.
And then it comes back down.
If you go back and you'll see it go like this and this and it can hang out up there.
Did we build it?
It can look for radar.
Yeah.
Are you sure we built it?
Well we certainly built the targeting system.
Yeah. We did not build the actual missile. No
Technology that makes sense. Yeah, but this is this is not the day's day and of like
They have the leftover Soviet shit from 30 years ago
And they're just kind of figuring out how to do it it jams all the time and no that's like a professional operation
Targeting global commerce I think they had 22 sailors taken hostage
On one of these carriers
Tough times for the shipping industry
Let's add in tariffs bro
We're gonna do well. Yeah, I mean
between this and tariffs
those car trades are
Costing more every day
So Blake referenced the blue alert earlier
that was tripping everybody out at his grandfather's nursing home the blue alert is when a
It's when is when a police officer is when you're about to blue. Deposit
on the small of her back and kind of give her a little pat, let her know, right? I'm
about to blue. Yeah. You gotta give an alert. Don't you sometimes give a pre-warning? Or no?
Blue or blow is not the verb I typically use.
Arrive?
I'm about to arrive.
Commence?
Yeah, it's about to leave.
Blue sounds like you're doing cadence.
Do you tell her?
You're like, boo.
Bidet.
With your little Blake voice?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Because I respect you so much, you should know I'm about to come. Oh, yeah, with your little Blake voice
Because I respect you so much you should know I'm about to come but not right now like later I'll let you know I could probably keep going. I'll give you a reminder every 36
Two minutes
So so this other blue alert this one was a bit confusing because I told you guys earlier this week about the attack on the ICE detention center in Alvarado, Indians.
That attack happened on July 4th while we were away.
And there were stories of, there was like a dozen people who showed up at this ICE detention center like a federal detention center. They're shooting off fireworks and they're getting
rowdy and then a couple of them had guns and a police officer was shot in the
neck. He lived. So they'd arrested like 10 or 11 people. They'd already announced
that. The alert that was issued last night was just that they had identified another suspect.
Oh, okay.
Now, technically, that person is wanted for harming a police officer, and they are a fugitive,
but it was not like...
new news, you know what I mean?
Yes.
It was weird that you don't hear that.
That's, yes, that's almost-
That's not usually how an alert ends up that's a abuse of that system
Oh, you could see it because you these times of now so wait a second Dave
I just identified the suspects and now you're supposed to look for him
Maybe that is good, and I forgot the best part of it was one of the guys was like where how far away
Is this like he was about to like go lift a blind to look yeah?
now this guy is the gentleman that Blake was referencing,
the Asian guy, 32-year-old US Marine Corps reservist
who was in possession of two AR-15s at the time
and is believed to have been one of the linchpins
of this ambush style attack.
His name is Benjamin Hanil or Haneeel. H-A-N-I-L.
And I'm not as good with Asia as I am with Africa.
At Africa. So I don't know where this guy's from but he does kind of look like a badass.
Okay, now full safe space here, right?
So I'm on the Fox local app last night.
Man, I'm reading about this news story.
And, is somebody breaking in?
It's TC.
Oh, okay.
So I'm reading this story on there
and there's a picture in the story
that shows some of the vandalization that took place.
You know, because they were like, oh, these guys were turning over cars and it was just
all this, a big scene.
Put one of the images up.
And where is this?
This is in Alvarado on July 4th.
This is the one of the, do the other one first because I want to show them that one.
This is my bad.
But this is the photo that's up there.
And if you guys can describe it as a white sedan.
It's not like it doesn't have its windows busted out
or anything, but spray painted on the side of it
in like nice, neat lettering is ice pig.
Doesn't really look like graffiti.
There's confusingly a period after pig.
The sentence is over. And ICE is capitalized.
Yeah, and C is not capitalized.
No, it looks like proper English there.
And then in the story it also notes that according to court documents the driver told the sheriff's deputy that he met some people online and took them from
Dallas to the detention center to quote make some noise
They've arrested ten people and
Are looking for an 11th and a 12th. I'm not saying this didn't happen or it's fake
But put the other one up now
During like the height of like race being really touchy there was a guy But, put the other one up now.
During like the height of like race being really touchy, there was a guy in like Georgia
or South Carolina, an old white guy, who said that he was subject to a hate crime and that
his Confederate flag had been burned in his driveway.
And it's clearly like a staged flag burning. And again, really old white guy.
His driveway just had in black spray paint,
blacks rule.
Underlined twice.
Which all the young teen,
all the young hip black teens are saying these days.
Like very obviously his own false flag here now if you go back to
the other one again there have been press conferences there have been
arrests but ice pig it just looks a little give-up be to me like if this is
anarchy in 2025 then not bad yes it! If that's anarchy, I thought you're saying... A period?
Periods are systems of control. I thought you were saying that's not... the
windows aren't busted out, it's not whatever... Oh, it's cordial? Nah, but that means
they're... we're losing our edge. Painted ice peg on it. You're... I thought what
you're saying is this is fake. I do think it it's fake if we're looking at it like that yeah well
because you didn't really destroy the car didn't destroy the car what did the
Seahawks spray paint in their locker room death to America Allah all right go
ahead just just that's it is that's fun news for me. You're claiming victory on the news.
Sometimes, you know, I say that just so you'll say that
because it feels so good.
So now you're doing that.
So now you're doing that.
Fair lease will bring us today in history.
Fairlease.org.
You could buy a vehicle from wherever you are
right now but probably lease it you could lease a vehicle I should mention
that yeah I can see what my car is worth I think you can lease and then buy you
can if you want to maybe you got a business you need a fleet and I just said
bye just so you would correct me And then people would really know about hey get a room us, too. Yeah
We have some viewer mail birthdays first you want to tell them there. Oh you did on our fun. Sorry
Blake sent me one late. No, that's what he says right before
Right Harry right after. Sorry sorry. Did you know, I
need to cut this audio but Blake will you just watch tires? One show with us that all
four of us have seen. You don't like tires? You never watched it? Never watched it. Do
you hate Shane? No I like Shane. So. I just quit TV. What's Gerby's name in the show?
Will.
Will?
Will, right?
Will reminds me of Gribble.
Now that I've finally arrived at, like, that's the same guy to me.
I love it.
Yeah.
I like them both.
So viewer mail birthdays, we have,
Dear Ambassador of Peace in the Middle Crease.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's his new twist.
Please wish my husband Andy Reed a happy 40th, lordy lordy,
on July 9th.
It's Business Wednesday.
He's a teacher, so according to Dan, he's doing nothing all summer and is vastly overpaid. His leaders are gay not
gay, Dan's questioning of societal norms and Blake's quest to name OJ father of
the year. She didn't say you were wrong. The good news about teachers is that they
take it super chill when you get that assertion. Just like golfers and
Stay at home mom's yeah, I was gonna say housewives, but I think you gotta say stay at home mom, right?
What if you don't have a kid and you're stay at home?
Then your housewife yeah, or you're that guy in Fort Worth who we go to his house every year He doesn't have kids and is a stay-at-home husband
Which is the greatest gig in the world.
He's having the weekend I'm about to have,
which is like the pinnacle of my decade, every day.
Every day.
Yeah, that guy's great.
Anyway, for his birthday, this is back to Andy Reid.
Please ask Jake to rate the names of our three sons.
You got Henry William.
Solid.
Jack Conrad. Yeah. And Eli Joshua. Solid. Jack Conrad.
Yeah.
And Eli Joshua.
Boy that's good. Sounds like a moonshine runner.
That's from Shannon.
That's really, really good stuff right there.

Nice Congrats, dude
However
If I go from cancer like I definitely want you guys to I
Don't want you guys to do like what they would do when the Cowboys would win five games
And then when they do the NFL films year in review it was like it was a fought hard
great season I want you guys to be like boy he did not show up to play and
cancer just definitely did we just couldn't intercept it this one might have
been over when cancer got off the bus Blake is definitely Kevin's leader. They are run the ball guy twinsies.
Examples include slowing down to admire the yard every time he leaves or arrives
home. Hell yeah dude. Just a little, just a little extra glaze. Look how even the cut is. Adding a
second bird feeder and enjoying all the Cardinals and buying an old-school
keyboard because he likes the sound of the keys clicking as he types. It's
underrated. God that feels... That's Erica who sent a picture for the wall. Dear
Uncle Gash Money Millionaire. That's awesome. That's so good. Today's a good day. I'd like to
wish my buddy Andy a happy birthday
It's is Johnny, Utah plus Benny the jet Rodriguez plus Henry Rowan Gartner birthday
His leaders are Freddy adieu Greg Oster tag Tony meola and tattoo when he's shirtless
more Greg Oster tag talk tomorrow as
Hot Springs has gone the way of Dan's muser's opinions and
will be on tomorrow's show yeah too much bronze um this is from Daniel oh
guy named Daniel I love your name bro my leaders are Michael Gallups bounce back
here prehab Jake naming cars after notable aerospace disasters. Healing the
nation by having two people on the same side of an issue debate each other half
a dozen times. That's probably a Douglas Lincoln Douglas. Everyone who manifested
less Sarah Heppela into existence. Dan and Jake asking Jared Sandler for a
trivia question then them
acting annoyed and dismissive when Jared starts asking the trivia questions
know them Jared Sandler asking Dan and Jake for suggestions of dumb zone
Easter eggs to work into his broadcast then him acting annoyed and dismissive
when Dan and Jake start making suggestions that's from Daniel and the
one Blake sent me late happy. Oh
No, I did it already that was from Erica. She must have sent it to
Multiple addresses good job Erica make sure it gets read
So we do a little OTD
today in history on this day Thursday July 10th in
1932 in order to trade to save train fare for the single date appearance, Connie Mack took just two pitchers to Cleveland in
1932. The starting pitcher, Lou Krause, gave up four hits in the first inning and they yank him.
Eddie Rommel would then pitch 17 innings in relief, giving up 29 hits and 17 runs but
wins 18 to 17.
Okay, that last note invalidates what I was going to say, but this feels like a Pete DeBoer
situation.
Like, how do you know after four hits that it's over?
It's 1932, man.
You just know.
So a four hit inning, you've got two arms
and 18 innings to chew through here,
and you're like, well, can't be worse than this.
There's no way.
In an age where every pitcher
is throwing a complete game shut out. I, give them four hits is a big deal.
You know how bad your manager has
to hate you to not let you finish,
to not let you take the hill for the second?
On this day in 1973, John Paul Getty III,
he is the teenage grandson of the oil tycoon,
was abducted and roamed by kidnappers.
They cut his ear off after the family was
slow to meet their ransom demands.
Should have called Denzel.
Eventually they did end up getting 3 million dollars and Getty was released in December.
How about that?
Is that guy still around?
No.
John Paul Getty III, dead?
Dead in 2011.
We need to bring kidnapping back.
I think most of the rest of the world still respects it.
On this day, in 1975, singer Cher, she has one name like Robert, filed for divorce from
Greg Allman ten days after their wedding Their son
His name was Elijah blue allman
Was born on this day one year later, so they got divorced on this day, but apparently a few months later
That'll happen that's some good sex yeah
It's a little little midseason tournament by the way, what do you know about Cher's current scene?
Nothing.
So she's a...
Why would I know anything about Cher?
It just ended up on my timeline the other day.
She's got a boyfriend.
She's 78.
Is she like eight?
Okay.
How's she looking?
Her boyfriend?
Should you have boyfriend when you're 78?
Or just kinda like...
38.
Whoa!
She looks good. She for sure would you get in on that absolutely like on the two of a me then your real boyfriend and
her she leaves everything to you would that be great you just this guy has a
daughter or a son with Amber Rose
The lady who was like basically married to Kanye
the boyfriend yeah
Yeah, it was Khalifa for sure it was big prime kids on this day in 1985 Coca-Cola
Released a new product called Classic Coke.
They had a less than enthusiastic reception for something called New Coke
and so then they started selling the old formula Coke, calling it Classic Coke.
On this day in, oh the very same day in 1985,
the Arlington Daily News has an article denouncing an
upcoming KKK rally in Randall Mill Park. So in 1985 there was a KKK rally
scheduled and the Arlington Daily News put out an article and it said quote
given a choice between sharing a park with homosexuals or a bunch of white-sheeted
hate-peddling losers, we think we would prefer the homosexuals.
So this is a pretty big day in gay history where they, like, they got to win.
As crazy as it sounds, it's a huge day.
They got to win.
Like, who would have thought?
You know, Arlington?
At one point in the history of Arlington, we would not have printed this that point might be today also
I'm not so sure but at that time that's huge
We have other
Celebrity also, I think it's really funny that like people who are and we all do it. I'm sure kind of hateful
They can't just say like actually it's okay to be a homosexual
They have to say if force to choose between gays and clan members. I'd be it's like
Just sad
And okay today's birthdays other birthdays we have former Ranger Will Smith 36
former Ranger Lee Stevens 58 sure
36 former Ranger Lee Stevens 58 sure Aidan Durday is 46 Cowboys Seahawks Seahawks DC now any yeah or at least he was for a year he's probably still is
they know the other one you here's a name you might have forgot about that is way more recent than
You might think is Chris Richard. Remember when he was gonna save the thing
Why don't we just make the whole sideline out of Chris Richard?
Urban Meyer 61 one of the slimmiest people to ever live
Cameron Jordan is 36
first round pick

Paid.
Trent Richardson 35.
Trusted.

Yeah, I don't know.
He keeps saying he slept with Gavin Newsom's wife.
And he Photoshopped this picture on Gavin Newsom.
Yeah, looking at it here.
Oh, had sex with your wife, Gavin.
You know what's funny is that Gavin is his ex-wife or is it just girlfriend?
Ex.
Is DJ TJ's squeeze?
They're all...they're all together, right?
They're all just the plebes.
Today's War Games winner with 64.9, Hall of Famer Andre Dawson is 71.
Shoes. No. Different Andre.
Very big in, I don't know if it's in Lords of the Realm, certainly the Marvin Miller book I
recently read, somewhat recently. Just one of the big free agents, early
free agents because when they were colluding against the players he was the
guy and nobody offered him a contract. Yeah. It was with Montreal and so... Do you
need a better test case? People were giving out multi-year, you know,
multi-million dollar contracts before that and then they kind of colluded and
so he, I think he took like a one-year
$1,000,000 deal to play for the Cubs and he won MVP
Look it up like little baseball history for you. Good, dude
Phyllis Smith is 74
From the office
Phyllis
No one has ever looked more like a Phyllis than that Phyllis.
That is just an absolute 10 of 10 casting.
Sophia Vergara is 53.
Man, that's probably Henry's birthday of the day, honestly.
Fiona Shaw is 67.
She was in Killing Eve and Fleabag.
Fleabag, very good show.
Adrian Grenier is 49. Entourage. Actor Thomas Ian Nichols is 45. 10. From Rookie of the Year and American Pie. Oh, okay. Yeah, he was Henry Rowan Gardner, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Do we want a Henry birthday of the day before I give the dumb zone birthday of the day?
Henry is our intern.
And he will now saunter to the mic in his own...
Kind of at his leisure.
With his, uh, bringing the Henry attitude that he's known for.
Yeah.
Okay, this one's not all that great, but we're gonna go Jared Dudley
That's the best that I could come up with
Is that or nothing? Well, I'll put it to you like this. I know who Jared Dudley is. I didn't know who
Phyllis
Smith Thompson or the lady from fleabag. So Jared Dudley will take it.
I'd have gone with nothing.
No.
Oh, geez, Bob with an opinion on it.
I honestly, I thought that Jared Dudley
was going to be a part of our show once upon a time.
Like when the Mavs hired him.
Because Carlisle wouldn't let the assistants talk.
But Jared Dudley has bits.
And I'm like, this guy seems like he might be down because kids boring and
it turns out the Mavs just
Don't really communicate with anyone at all. Who did they recently bring on?
It was there's two from I don't I didn't I don't recall their names, but it was two from the LA staff. Oh
Popeye Jones. Oh, yeah
Our dumb zone birthday the day from the LA staff. Oh, Popeye Jones. Oh yeah.
Our dumb zone birthday of the day.
Would this have been a birthday of the day without TC's suggestion to me long ago?
Jessica Simpson is 45.
That's a good one.
And TC said, hey she has this book out
and she kind of rips Romo in it.
And I'm like, all right, I'll read the whole book.
Say less.
It was awesome.
Actually, I'm very interested in the entire Jessica Simpson
life now.
I hope she's doing well.
I hope she finds happiness.
This picture here, she looks super, super skinny.
That's what she was bitching about in the book. Hate to see it. They all want me to, super skinny. That's what she was bitchin' about in the book!
Hate to see it.
They all want me to be so skinny.
And now here she is, just falling right into it.
Did you learn nothin', Jessica?
Did you learn nothin' with your John Mayer and Tony Romo?
I would let Jessica Simpson turn into Phyllis Simpson
and love her.
I would bring peace to her middle crease
Born on this day now dead
We have the co-creator of Superman Joe Schuster
From Cleveland. I mean what how far are we gonna go?
What like do you have the guy who makes your payroll hit on the project? Is it his birthday or he created Superman who else like him and some other guy?
Is it his birthday or he created Superman who else like him and some other guy he probably drew it
Right the guy who is the birthday of the guy who's the dog?
Also born on this day now dead Eunice Kennedy Shriver now, that's JFK sister
Nice piece. I don't know, but I probably wouldn't even have mentioned her unless I noted that she founded the Special Olympics
So you got to think of this hold on
She's once sitting there with her friends
With her monocle or whatever cup of tea the the cigarette with the end on it and the white gloves
They go up your forearm
And she's like What if we haven't raced each other yeah what if we
yeah yeah yeah so we ran into an interesting situation yesterday like
yeah let's do it then we could bet on we're not gonna do what we were not I'm
not gonna put the picture up there but but, so we were at Game Day Men's Health yesterday, filming, filming some videos and because they
catered to men, there are sports on TV there.
And there was a golf tournament taking place.
And I was looking at the television, Dan was looking at me, TV's behind Dan, and I see
what appeared
to me to be a dwarf, Stripe and Iron. I mean, like he's on the green in 2 on a par 5. Did
not look like a child to me. Looked like a little person. So I rewound it a little bit
and I'm like, well I gotta see the person before, this is a whole minute. You've never
seen Jake like- I asked the assistant, I was like like does this have DVR? Can I yeah, could I get a?
Bring that back. She's like yeah, I guess like you're so so I rewound it
And then the person before the dwarf was just they were a child they didn't look like a healthy child
But they were a child so I thought alright. This is a youth golf tournament fast forward about 10 minutes
I look back up there and
the person who is reporting course side is wearing a golf shirt but they have no
arms. Which I haven't seen all the other types of shirts worn with no arms but
right now golf shirts the funniest one I've seen.
And it just, okay, so then you figure out this is the adaptive open.
It's various types of-
You can't wear an NBA jersey, right?
Of physical ailments.
Uh, what?
What did I miss?
Try to wear an NBA jersey.
Oh, yeah. Well, I think you'd probably run into some problems there.
Yeah.
But it brought up the question.
One, it sucks that they have one disabled tournament.
Because when we were watching, not all those disabilities
were the same, which brought about the question Dan asked
of how they.
Could I win this?
Oh, what was the other one?
The other question is, how do they keep track of like.
Oh, does a handicap like. Yeah, like. So is how do they keep track of like oh does a handicapped like
Yeah, like so is there a handicapped handicapped a guy with one arm is golfing
But then he's got a he's going to get the guy with just a fake leg
Those are different this guy looks like Jake and if they do scrambles if they do scrambles do they have to try to match teams?
Like oh, he's got leg give him right arm. Or he's got, I don't know, it was weird.
But also, why did the reporter have to have no arms?
They don't make NFL reporters be NFL players.
In fact, they go the other way.
How come that reporter couldn't do a real golf tournament?
That would make a lot more sense, to be honest.
But apparently, he's like, this is the highest level I can go.
What with no arms and all.
He's reporting on golfers who also have no arms.
Ted was busy.
Yeah.
What?
Oh, it was clip-on.
He had it clipped on Mike.
Someone else, obviously, he had a little help there.
That's a dumb question.
I said, that was a dumb question.
I said, you know, head up the guy actually looks very nice. Like he's got, he's got, he's a nice
looking guy and he's got short hair. Dan was like, you think that's a must? Because clearly
he's not able to really, you know, fix it. Oh, to have that nice short hair. Yeah. You
think that's a must? must well you also said he had
love handles and you were making fun of him I did I said do you think these like
is he looking himself and he's upset that he's got this little hour glass
that wasn't all for okay anyways it was a fun it was a fun time I don't know how
we but yeah that now I'm on the crusade of how come this guy can't just
announce a real golf tournament yeah it felt. Like what if he's the best golf announcer in the world?
They'll never put him on with Jim Nance.
Because then he'd talk like that.
Every time he'd talk to him, he'd be like, oh.
How bad would it be for that guy, though?
Lucky, what happened?
How bad would it be for that guy, though,
if Jim Nance was attacked by a shark?
That would open the door for sure.
No, that guy would just come and
take his lane he would just be doing the no arm tour also well that's just
saying though he would open the door he'd already be in that spot okay it's
kind of like if you're married to the politician that then you can be the
first woman governor yeah that's true so Jim Nance would now make it normalize
for no armed golf announcers.
And in fact, it'd be the only sport.
And then we'd be wondering, how come we can't do football
no armed announcers?
Good point.
There's all these other no armed announcers in line.
I just, yeah.
It was something that we shouldn't have been watching
This got up and left the room
This golf tournament you should not have been watching every single golfer came up. It was something new. Hey
It's like oh
He hasn't walked since this prize me one of the guys now
He's a master's legit one of the guys they had attached to a golf cart like you imagine I'm announcing it though because he loves like a
Stories or he out of control here. He is it was for yeah his father dropped him into a wood chipper
Hurriedly hurriedly grabbed him out
But as you can see
Lost both of his legs and now that's as he tries to chip now. He's putting her poor
a new chip of the lifetime
Kind of a one from one chip
How do they do bunkers
Does how do they make them? Oh, how do the people well it probably depends on the ailment, you know?
Like if you yeah, you're in the sand. Yeah. Yeah
Probably sucks unless you're somebody who lost your arm and they replaced it with a shovel
Then you're uniquely positioned to improve your lie
I wouldn't mind hearing what Nance came up with. Because he likes puns.
Oh yeah. He'd have something for you.
From one arm to one trophy.
Yeah. Rollin'.
Rollin'.
What was the dude on the, um, on the rollin'?
I can't hear you.
Uh...
He had like a car.
And...
We cannot hear you. I can hear you only yeah, I mean if you want to
Ask for a mic here. Well. No like okay
Also then dead on this day still dead we have Clement Moore. He wrote was the night before Christmas
That worthy oh
The dead is it yeah
and
Jim Boughton died in this day in 2019 the author of a ball for is it ball for yeah
If that's the same guy the baseball guy
Playing with downs to getting up and down. He is your champion.
That's great.
That's fantastic.
Can I read your notes from the Jessica Simpson book?
Yeah.
What did I have?
I gave you notes or you took notes?
These are my notes from you delivering the segment
on August 4th, 2020 where the show began with us saying,
you've never really seen a baby squirrel.
They're all kind of the same size. Okay.
Okay.
I said that?
Yeah.
That's a great point.
That is a great point, former me.
Cause you had laid a weed.
Cause you see baby everything.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cause wouldn't you be like, oh, how cute.
Three little tiny squirrels crossing the street,
that'd be awesome.
You were mad that day because you'd laid a weed mat down
and squirrels got a part or ripped some of it up.
Okay.
And then you were like,
how come you never see a baby squirrel?
Anyway, so Romo and Simpson got introduced.
We should do this today in history.
What we talked, yeah.
Okay.
And during their
their introduction, Romo said that he wanted to kiss her. This
is not a great person. Yes. Joe Namath. Man. Yeah. He's
just wanting to kiss you. Uh she went to a to a game and he was
terrible. She wanted him to say it wasn't her fault and he
wouldn't.
That was Thanksgiving. If it was the first one.
That was her.
Yeah.
Was that like Kyle Orton maybe?
She's wearing the pink Romo.
Yeah, she's wearing the pink Romo.
Yeah, I think the Cowboys lost.
They did lose.
He didn't want her to do a film where she kissed another guy.
He always had people over eating pizza and playing Madden
where he would play as himself.
That's awesome.
He loved her music to a fault where he would scream the lyrics of her songs.
He wanted her to just be a housewife.
And then they broke up because he went through her phone and found an email from John Mayer.
Yeah, I guess I'd have to read the book or maybe Romo's book to get a better feel on it But I kind of found it insane how quickly Romo went from nobody knows who I am. I'm showing up at summer bash
I have no money
You know, I'm just happy to be here to expecting Jessica Simpson to be a housewife
Jessica Simpson has been famous since she was 10. Yeah, she was like destined for everybody around like, you know

non-threatening right like just now when he just said wiener at no point that I think he was gonna have sex with me
One of the first emails we got
In this new venture was from Robert
And it was
Looking back at it. It's an incredible email that I wish we would have read
Dan and Jake read together and then taken some of this to heart
it's a
advice email basically Jake and he just talks about the fact can I mention any
of it? All of it. Started a hedge fund at age 26 learned a ton about business and gave us a lot of great advice as far as, I don't want
to read the whole thing, but let's see, articles of organization as far as our company is concerned.
Wanted us every entity.
Well, that was a bit.
Oh, okay.
I'm sorry.
No, no, okay. I'm sorry no no go ahead
But you had you said each entity you have you want to have like
Keep a bank account for each one
The Entity should ensure the maximum amount of money you can lose is what you put in that company
If you get to where you're hiring help, this is one was just Dan and Jake
If you get to where you're hiring help, this is one was just Dan and Jake
Independent contractors are great But you need an agreement and there are some real limits on what counts as a contractor use a separate
LLC to pay your own people another entity, but it's worth it
I know you want to be creative and naming your company. Don't name it anything that would jeopardize your credibility in a courtroom
I've been there too. As we've been reading
the dumb zone in a courtroom. I think that would have been even better. Have a
written policy between you and your partners that any check above certain
amount of money requires two signatures. Your partnership agreement will dictate
who can do things. I am going to to fall asleep is anybody else what are we?
I can't listen to this
We're doing this on the show. I'm just saying he sent us so we did a lot of that for sure
And we also then just said we hired a you yeah, we have a guy and then he said you're the guy
Anyway, he's got a lot more other stuff here that he we did not follow his advice. We did not really talk about it at all
We which one of those did we not do that sounds like basic?
Yes, like the separate bank accounts. We effectively do also have articles of organization
I have to well, I was just talking about limiting your liability with each
This this isn't really we're talking about limiting your liability with each. This
isn't really worth talking about. We're not as bad as it seems. No, I didn't say you were.
It's just it took me two years to learn it. I would say that's about right. So to really
say like we learned it, it takes two years. Yeah, you learn. It's not complicated. I feel
like you have to just do it though. Well, that's how I learned. But you know, I don't,
I just don't hear anybody who starts a business who's like, you know, I don't, I don't, I just don't hear anybody who starts a business. Who's like, you know, because everyone told me of how it takes two years to
learn, I didn't take two years to learn.
Right.
So you just have to do it.
And people that's ridiculous.
Somebody should be able to do it quicker than we did.
Yeah.
I think you are disconnected from the world of business.
I guess so.
Our shit is so much more beyond how a small business normally
Okay good. We also already had like the product developed. I just know a lot of people with
their shit actually together. They're not us. All of that. People who start small businesses
tend to not pay themselves for the first year or two. Yeah. Like at all. Not. Well we had
to get something. And they go into huge debt. That wasn't my Like at all. Not... Well, we had to get something.
And they go into huge debt.
That wasn't my plan at all.
But...
The only thing that I really wanted, it was the end of that email, I mean this was right
when you guys were...
Yeah.
And nobody really knew how much of this was theater and what you were going through. So
at the risk of being stupid, I just said, don't forget, you have the only thing that
can't be replaced in this whole deal, which is, which is the content.
The rest of it is negotiating who gets which money for, for what.
I have the thing that nobody else can do.
So you, uh, you run some, uh, some places of ill repute or what's your scene over here? No, part of the fund owns real estate.
You happened to be talking about something like this
a month ago or so and turns out I got a nice letter
from the attorney general about one of my tenants
that we promptly threw out but I just wanted to show you
what those letters looked like.
And what sort of business was this tenant in?
A foot spa?
No a
Massage place perhaps much of the staff from one hemisphere rather than the other that's true
But if you if you didn't rent if you threw everybody out who was running massage operations Who were in that part of the world so?
from that part of the world. So Robert in the break was showing me this letter
and it very much looked like referencing our court case.
Like you know how whenever we were in court
they had screenshotted a bunch of stuff from Reddit
and then like stuff that wasn't pursuant to the point
was also in there like you know,
stream out at 4 p.m. was like another Reddit topic.
The letter he got from the attorney's general office includes screenshots
of people reviewing their hand job on like on
on a website where people jerk map or whatever we were talking about,
where people people do that. Yeah.
Do this guy. There's columns that it says like it says like pussy landing strip
It's got like a creative player profile. I'll have it down to a side. It's like a hair blonde Bob
It's like a type of hairstyle. It was like a profile. I didn't know these websites exist
Wow, just for the record most of it is the high-end stuff. So this is yeah for the wreck sure
But yeah, it's like some guy, you know, Dan69's comment,
it's in the document they sent to him.
So it begs the question.
And you just shut it down with that?
I mean, they are so just wielding a lack of due process.
None of that would make it in court.
That's all hearsay.
But I wasn't interested.
And nor would they.
You can say, look, you can fight this, and they'll come.
I mean, they came between the time they left
and when I got there, it was about a month.
They got inspected twice.
So I mean, I think they could figure out this one more thing.
We decided to go our separate ways.
Is that closing remarks?
May I? I have gift.
We like gifts.
Yeah. Tariffs. I was in Chicago this week and Chicago has added a 13 basis point
quote unquote urban tax to your hotel room.
They also have a 3.5% tax that goes on top of your restaurant
bill that then they promptly say,
we will take this off if you want.
So as run the ball guy, of course, every time.
And they're very polite about it.
It says it on the bill?
Yeah, it said, we stuck it on the bill instead
of rising prices, but we'll take it off if you ask
Please take it off. Yes, sir. Thank you
Huh? All right
Interested to see how that works out. Well, so a from a policy standpoint, I like it first glance
But it didn't work on run-the-ball guy, but most people won't look at that. Yeah, most people would be like I am a good person
I would like to
Support the community you just tip that's how you do that dude I had a scene a scene in hot springs this is a wrap that's what
I'd do where that 3% of this yeah do you ever have the server tell you like don't
tip on the thing like if you if only way I get anything is if you do cash so if
you think you're giving money to me don't now if you want to you're just
giving more money to the company.
Oh.
Yeah.
Sometimes.
Not all the time.
I think most of the time they share in it,
but sometimes, I don't know.
If you want real run the ball guy,
that was right when the tax bill passed.
And upon looking at it, realized, wait, you just
got a $12,000 deduction.
Don't weaponize the tax bill against wage workers.
OK, gifts. This one is the scariest one for me
because either there's always a risk you won't like it and you might have read it. It's an old
book by George Will who was a political columnist that also loved baseball. So he got four people to
just let him fall, follow him around. And these guys knew moneyball stuff intuitively. So he got to he got to fall around La Russa,
Hersheiser, Tony Gwyn and Cal Ripken. Awesome. And there's
stuff in there where they're like, okay, we're not going to
talk anymore. That has to do with their hitting philosophies.
And even on page 169, you see Tony Gwyn fighting with whether
he has to bulk up to hit more home runs
Okay, so I yeah, this is right up Dan's alley. Do you like it? I love it. It's an old
I mean, this is a guy who wrote the hate. He loves baseball hates football
He said football brings together the worst of American culture committee meetings and violence
Okay
So, okay.
This the greatest hitting book in the world, written by Ted Williams.
Most importantly, he basically says only hit perfect pitches and pull the shit out. Yeah.
So life motto, we don't need to go off here.
No, no. But he understood moneyball, too.
He's like, you pick a perfect pitch and you don't swing until you have two strikes
Yeah, I read that as a kid. Yeah, and I thought it was just
terrible advice for a kid like me
Because it's basically just be Ted Williams. Yeah, like be awesome. Well, yeah also be able to because they did a shift on Ted Williams
He'd be like, all right, I'd hit it over it. Yeah, I just hit a home run
Yeah, Jake this this is gonna help you because like didn't help
me because I never sniffed a hundred miles an hour but this will certainly
help you yes of course it's Nolan Ryan talking and there's about how to what
exercises you can do to increase your velocity which it's a book from dr. Chris
McKenzie unleash unleash your pitching velocity the free three-step system to throw in harder and maximizing
Command so you can make the team of your dreams like Nolan Ryan
So thank you. Yeah, so I'm squarely and Jake's I mean on Blake's team, but for what it's worth
The the regular army
Loses if it doesn't win the guerrilla army wins if if it doesn't win, the guerrilla army
wins if it doesn't lose.
You're the guerrilla army.
So don't throw him the same pitch twice.
I only gotta be right a couple times.
I only have to win three times.
And bean him once.
Just do it.
Buzz it out.
And I'm rooting for you.
Thank you.
Why are you...
What is this?
What, do you watch Star Wars and you're like evil Empire?
Let's go you've got a weapon use it
But I didn't throw a hundred you don't have to either, but you will if you read that book
Hey, Bob. Thank you for letting me be here
Adios mofo gotta go before this becomes a dude
