But if you'd like to subscribe at dumzone.com, you'll get four shows per week plus the weekend wrap-up and any bonus sods like our business Wednesday interviews. So if you forgot how to use the 15-second rewind, that's dumbzone.com to subscribe. Now, on to today's program. Jake, I was thinking about community mechanical this morning. Do tell. I don't know if Jake's without, oh, there's Jake. Yeah, I was just thinking I'd be dead without them.

Just because of the searing heat, right? Community Mechanical is our HVAC company. The last two letters there, important, AC. And where would we be without our relationship with community mechanical? Dan, see, I'm in Hawaii right now, so I thought that the H and H&A. HVAC might have actually been for Hawaii because community mechanical is just here to make your home as comfortable as it is here all the time. How do you like that? CommunityDFW.com is how you check it out. You can also call or text Travis at any time at 469-66777-2-90. They are the HVAC

company of not only us, but Brandon Aubrey. So have them hook you up like they did him, which is usually a pretty similar story. They come out. They check your scene out. After someone else told you that you owe them a billion dollars and community says we can do it for much less. So let's get it going at community dfw.com. Sorry.

Community mechanical, Travis and the team real cool. You don't want your house to explode. Don't be a bitch, so pick up the phone. Dan almost died. We have a new things that are back, the dumb zone. What can be back, but also gone? That is us. As I am here, much of the show is here in Dallas, Fort Worth, which we love.

The World Cup is here. We're all feeling the excitement. Today, we are broadcasting live to tape from downtown Dallas. The Fox 4 building, it's the Game Day Men's Health Studio. This is the dumb zone. We're back. I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jake Kip.

I'm Blake Jones. Fudy CK. And here we go. In fact, where I parked, where I parked right next to you today. It's the giant wall. I guess it used to be the whale wall photo, whale wall something. That I had no idea of people cared about. No.

I.M.P. IMP. Painted it many years ago. the 16th. Anyway, so it was a huge controversy at the pre-world Cup because they painted over this wall. I mean, it's giant.

It's, what, 10 stories up, and it's huge. And then there was controversy over it. And so they painted what you would say would be 90% of the wall, 95% like there's a little tiny area in the top right corner of this giant building where they just stop painting and you could even see like oh we put the roller that and then pulled the roller back like so you can see they stop like someone said hey stop that you shouldn't be painting that wall that's i am pay or whatever yeah you know they have that thing now where you can scrub an image someone sends you to reveal it it looks like someone was like i get it and just gave

up. Like they got to like the edge of the thing. Yeah, they stopped. And as you were going to say, they repainted it what? Nothing. They stopped. They just stopped. They said, hey, we're against what you're doing. And they said, oh, okay, let's stop doing it. But they painted it blue and they were going to paint something else over it to indicate, hey, we got the World Cup. Because you didn't know it because it's not shoved in your face at every corner. So we're going to shove it in your face on this corner, we need the homeless guys to know also that the World Cup is somewhere within their orbit. And anyway, I just noticed that today.

They never painted, hey, World Cup. What were they going to, they're going to put something World Cup up there, right? Yeah. Big soccer ball. World Cup-ish. Well, and we're probably missing something, but this does feel like a perfect microcosm of just everything, right? Like every issue just turns into, well, why don't we just kick the ball on the roof and go?

if you don't like it, we don't like it and we get nothing. Like, okay. Yeah, we ended up with nothing, but clearly there was a beautiful painting on there before because I could see 5% of it in the top right corner. Yeah, they were swimming around. Well, I knew it was there because I can just, when I'm near that building,

I feel the loss of energy that those whales were providing me. Because when I'm in Dallas, I'm thinking whales. Now we just said, well, it is the home of the whale tail. Or at one point it was. You're probably not that far off on that. A lot of tattoos on the lower back for ladies, what, and would you say 2005 to 2012 or something?

They were like, yeah, let's all do it. Yeah, that was an era. And then they were all like, ah, the next era was like, ah, no, let's not do that. That's not going to look good in the long run. What are they now, 45? Yeah. A couple kids. Yeah, wrinkly.

Roughly. Great. Speaking of back, back but gone, what about Dan's mustache? As America's 250 concluded, now we lost. Because I really get used to you guys having those mustaches. Yeah, no, I peeled it off. Dan had an excellent trucker mustache working. Wife was kind of against me peeling it off, but...

She's into it. Wow. She's like, oh, you shaved. I'm like, oh, you didn't show any affection towards it. She didn't ask for a ride? She did not ask for a ride. We don't ask consent in our household. We're married.

Oh, we have a sit-in today. He is named Robert Lacey. He is sitting over there next to intern Henry. What an honor. He will be providing us with a... He's got a little presentation during closing remarks. Has a whiteboard. Oh, love.

with all the podcast that he might end up on. This is the referencing the Rich Paul whiteboard. Oh, okay. We'll get to that later. I just know he had to fix Henry's headphones earlier. Henry, who just graduated from journalism school or what have, you can't figure out how to plug in his headphones. Hello, Robert, lazy.

Yeah, so before, so Robert was out draining some veins, and he, by the way, you're with, what's your company's name? Plumquick. Plum Quick. Yep. A plumbing company. Plumbing company. That's so much better than plum long duration.

Your old plumbing company. Yeah, you had to cut those losers. Yeah. So plum quick. He went to the bathroom. And so he's gone. And I said to Henry, hey. He's inspecting it.

I said, hey, when we have a guest in here, like show them what to do. Show them. I just meant, you know, the headphones. help him out. How, where's the, where's the volume on that so you don't blast their ears? Show them how to put the microphone. Like, get it right in front of your face. Not everybody knows that.

Not everybody is the radio savant or the broadcast savant that Henry is. You have to understand. Sometimes it's tough for Ted Williams to have to teach people things because they just, he assumes they're going to know everything that he knows. So I said, make sure you do. And then I see Robert sit down and sit there for a while. until the show starts, and then I saw Blake get up and go over and show them where the headphones were. Yeah.

And then, I guess Robert, you taught Henry how to plug in his headphones. Yeah, mine was unplugged, but I couldn't really hear anything. Oh, Henry. It seemed like we were fumbling around over there, so I kind of had to jump in. Yeah. Do you have anything to say for yourself today, Henry? No, this isn't really a great defense, but it is the first time I fiddled with that thing. Okay.

That's what she said. I like the plan we have here of letting new sponsors kind of let Henry be their first impression. Yeah, yeah, no. The operation, why don't you come on up. We'll show you how we do things. One of our many, many, we've made so many mistakes. Robert, you're a small business owner. You make a lot of mistakes when you get started?

Yeah. Do you think you're still making them three years later? Wouldn't you think you're an idiot if you were? I mean, that's us. You're always making mistakes. You've got to learn from those mistakes and then be better. Okay. Somehow Henry keeps just showing up.

Keep showing up. Well, somehow he got on your good side. After the generic summer event, like, I think Clayton's like, I don't hate Henry anymore. We're like, whoa. Yeah, I'm back out on Henry. Oh, that was the next generic summer event. We should do that more often. But that was before you played his weekend wrap-up intros.

That got him out of the good graces of Clayton. See, I actually didn't mind those weekend wrap-up intros to pull the curtain back. That gauze a little bit more attention to it and might have people actually go in there to listen to it. I know, but did you hear his last one? Yeah. No. Oh, his last one was full corporate Henry. And I'm out.

Okay, so that's the thing. He's like the wailing wall. The sergeant will beat him more, though, in the future for that. Yeah. If you change. Anyway, you guys want to do like a weekend. weekend check. Yeah.

We've been gone for over a weekend, but we'll try to keep this, we'll try to keep it pared down and we'll, you know, give you all the great stories that we have from the last week over the next week or so. The weekend check could be, excuse me? I said, well, baby birded. How are your floors? Oh, nice. Make any progress while I was away.

So I could start my weekend check by telling you that July. 4th, 10 a.m. We said, hey, why don't you come on over at 10 a.m. And that guy is so on time, almost like a guy who used to work in TV and understands what it means just to start your show at a certain time. Rick Renner is our sales rep, or our sales guy at Flooring Direct. He's incredible. He came out again with more samples. Here's the thing about Flooring Direct. If you're getting new floors, your wife is probably going to be heavily involved in this process. And if you think it's tough for your wife, if you're like, hey, do you want to get Chinese tonight or should we go a Mexican? If you think that is a difficult, painstaking decision that takes way too long for a human to make, try putting like hundreds of floor samples in front of her.

this Rick Renner I think just gets paid for being patient because he's running back to the car let's get a different one let's get a different one and then she'll show me like four of them she'll show me and Rick Renner four of them they almost look exactly the same but she is seeing like I don't know what she's seeing I'm just like I don't know I love it I love what you you have chosen but well I think what you love is you're not going showroom to showroom like that actually that never really hit for me. until you just described that process.

Like dealing with your wife but having to drive from place to place to place. You've lived it now. Yeah, it's fantastic. So Rick's going to come back. I'm sure there's going to be a third look, but we're just about there. We are just about there, folks. That's what she said. Flooring direct, dfW.com slash dZ.

They're awesome to deal with. Check them out online first. You can call them at 972-449-9-9-456. but it's new floor summer. Ten fish summer, new floor summer. We're getting it done. Hopefully we're within weeks now of getting the install of our new floors. Thank you.

Flooring direct, DFW.com slash DZ. So since I started, that was my literally July 4th morning. What a way to celebrate 250, man. With Rick Renner, spruceding up the home. Do you think he was wearing like just a, plain white t-shirt? I doubt it. I mean, it's, there's no telling.

It was, he looked like Uncle Sam himself. Of course. He's very tall. And, uh, he had on the whole, the whole get up. Yeah. That's excellent. So my, uh, what can I give you? Oh, so my wife.

She discovered my secret Taco Bell habit. Uh-oh. Oh. Oh. Well, you know what, though? You taught me about going to Taco Bell in secret. I've always imagined that, you know, women have this ruse going in their own right.

You know, they've got girl dinner or whatever. So maybe there's a chance that you, the two of you end up at Taco Bell together and it's like spicing things up. I don't know. So they're not sneaking kale behind our backs? I don't think so. I mean, who knows?

But, yeah. So how'd she take it? just because she, you know, I don't usually clean out the car unless I know someone else is going to be getting in the car and no one else really gets in the car. But she was, one night she was like, hey, can we run up and get some ice cream? I'm like, yeah, sure. And I forgot.

She's like, well, what is this? Taco Bell. What are all these bags in the back? Because I'll go there a couple times a week now. It's great. Like before dinner? You know, just whenever. Like, hey, I, I, I, went to the gym today.

They famously invented fourth meal. Yeah, why not just slide in a little on the way home? We know we're going to eat it like six. What about a three o'clock? CrunchRap Supreme anyway. Let me tell you something else, too. Taco Bell holds up very well in the era of protein. Like, they've been about that.

Like, if you're trying to get a cheap protein snack, it's been there. I'll give you a cheap protein snack. There we go. Fuck, yeah, you will. I think it's good to be back. The latest, because everything, like, now they have protein cold foam at your local coffee shop, which is insane to me. Yeah. But the last-

They're really messing with Dan with that. I can also give you some of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The latest one that was ridiculous to me is now they have protein Cheerios. What are we doing? They have protein cereal. Why not get a name brand in there and- If you think about it, it's, it's free your mind, Blake.

For many years, they've had protein powder and we accepted that they put it in chocolate bars. But why was that the end of it? I mean, they make disgusting chocolate bars. Why not let them make disgusting everything if that's what you want to eat, you know? That would, that's what bothered me. Like when I was in high school and I couldn't put on any weight. I'm like, bro, I can only eat so much cinnamon toast crunch bars. Like at some point you want some.

real food. So, you know. Do you think, though, will they ever be able to genetically engineer like a tomato?

Protein tomato? Yes, 100% from, yeah. 100%. I just want brands to stay in the lane. Your, your Cheerios. Make your little,

make your little cereal, stay out of the protein game. No, no, they need to be the, they need to be on the box. Be swole. Joke,

killing his family. Sure. Oh, another wife note. this is why another reason to get flooring direct over to your house flooring direct dfdb.com slash dz um she really will clean up when rick renner's coming over oh yeah it's like you know it's the old uh if you're if her mom's gonna visit uh huh uh or if you're having company or whatever it's it's the perfect uh antidote to you don't clean stuff up like oh i mean you you mentioned rick renner i was

I wasn't sure if you meant sweeping or putting on like a push-up bra. Add it all, all of it together. All of it together. Speaking of, I'll give you some protein. So many people have giving me sardines and whatnot. Just other canned fish. It was a fantastic, because I vowed on this however many days off we took in a row, I'm going to eat a different can from each.

And I did. So every once a day would eat some canned fish. So thank you to everybody. Remember, that bit's not necessarily over just because lots of other people did it. It's still a creative idea if you wanted to award some canned fish to your favorite guys here on the radio or wherever we are now. And, okay, a couple more little things. A random text from my mom last Sunday. No context provided at all.

Quote, never swim in ocean at Portoviarda, Mexico. Do you guys know of a story? Whoops. No. Okay. I'm interested in what prompted this, though. I never followed up. I never asked her.

I don't know. I just thought I'm going to leave that there and I'm going to tell the boys and maybe they will have seen a story. But I guess it's her randomly. She obviously loves the news. Old people love the news. This story. What are we got? Very metal.

I hope this doesn't auto play play, Blake, because I'm like plugged in. We'll try the first sentence here. A man was killed, which is last week. A man was killed after a crocodile attacked and dragged him out to sea in Puerto Vallarta. A 28-year-old Mexican man was on the beach in the Marriott when he was attacked by a crocodile took him out to sea. I don't want to ever be taken out to sea. Dude, but you're not thinking crocodile when you're at the resort Marriott in Puerto Vallarta. I mean, I'm not, but maybe you should be.

So if you're like 70, whatever, 75, I don't know how old she is. and you see that story or you're like, I need to instantly text my son. And she has two sons, maybe just the one that she thought might end up being in Port of Ireland or if I asked my brother.

Does she not know you? Why not like the grandkids, maybe. But I don't know. I have known you a long time and just beach, it's just not in there. I'll hang at the beach on you. Yeah, but I don't see it as like, Well, maybe...

Not a major... Like something he should text me now. Right. Hey, make sure I give this info to him today. He might be headed down there. Two more Fourth of July related things. One... Clayton, did you get that video?

It's called the Fourth of July. It was like a rodeo. This is part of the America 250 thing. Did you all see this video? I think I did. It's hilarious. It's a guy skydiving. and the point is to skydive in

and you're going to land in front of everybody you got a giant American flag under you but what if that American flag gets caught on a tree and then you just turn and face plant like you're almost down to the ground now but you face plant onto a Coors not the Coors tent a Coors light tent

and actually I think important detail I think that's a Coors original tent That's a banquet tent, which is just funny to me. And yeah, he faced plants. There's multiple angles. Somebody, see, I thought you were going to reference a different video where somebody who quote tweeted that and was like, listen, if there's a video where Lee Greenwood's playing, something funny is about that. Because there's a couple more where like a bull gets out like they're in the anthem and starts messing people up. it's uh that's speaking of uh emblematic it's funny and my final fourth of july a piece of

whatever information i suppose is the way i this really brought it all home for me this was uh on video but i'm going to play you the audio 250 years young howdy america have you seen this yet i have to a lot of people that may see seemed like a long time to be a country, but it's really not. But I tell you what, it's definitely not too long to be. It's not too long to be an idea, which is what America is, a land that has never been yet. And that yet that we're seeking and chasing, that's the whole thing. It's a place we're never going to arrive at.

And that's not failure because we won't. That's by design. Do we need to hear the whole thing? Do you want to fast forward to the end here? It's two and a half minutes. Wow. Well, 250. But to the fact that we are still on our way.

Take inventory with the one in the mirror and together. Here's to more dancing in the home with the brave. Happy 250th America. Just keep living. I'm both fine with and annoyed by him at this point. You know, he's not really saying anything, but if he makes you feel good, then isn't that all the matters? There you go. That sounds great.

It's like, all right, you know. That's a great. Great explanation. Also, but I would like to say to quibble with his first point there. If you said 250 years might seem like a long time to some people, that could be true. If you said 250 years might seem like a long time to be a country to some people, that's absolutely ridiculously stupid. Because anyone who knows what a country is would not say that that's a long time to be a country.

dummy well he knows the time is a flat circle so it doesn't really matter it's true it's true Clayton do you have anything for us yeah a couple things

um hit up a couple books over the break listen to him didn't read them um can recommend running the light by Sam Talent It's a story of a

Down on his luck Old comedian who's just making the rounds Doing bars and stuff in the Southwest New Mexico, Arizona area Like each chapter's like a part of the day It's only a week of his life Written out but it's really good I did the audio book, and the audiobook's pretty cool because he has different comedians read each chapter.

So like Bert Kreischer reads a chapter. Mark Norman reads a chapter. Is his shirt on? You know, through the audio, you can kind of tell he didn't have a shirt on. You're right, Jake. Yeah. But no, that was really good. Also read Dave Portnoy's book.

Cancel me if you can. media mogul so just always good to know how they see the world and what they did to get there and then

my 4th of July was spent having a barbecue experience went to a place in Irving called a cafe

barbecue a lull an Iraqi guy owns it started about a year ago and um they're doing some amazing things with meat.

Yeah, so this is, I've not been there or to, what's the place is ash, smoking ash, something in Arlington, Clayton, but that one, I think they're Ethiopian. This is kind of like what we were talking about last week, and maybe we have some follow-up and viewer mail this week, but like people taking American cuts of meat and cooking them differently. and Clayton sent me this, an interview with this guy. It looked like Texas Monthly or some business. It was actually,

it was business insider. Business insider. Yeah, he did like a 20 minute interview. And it's interesting for sure. Like they can't serve sausage, which I think is like a really high margin product for them. Like you've worked at restaurants,

Dan. You know, there's like stuff they want you to order and that that they can't serve. Because it's a halal restaurant. So it was, yeah, It's cool. What's halal mean? Like, yeah, you're acceptable to eat if you're Muslim, I think.

Yeah, it's the way they prepare, like, so they only, they can't eat pork. But then the way the animal is killed is the, is what makes it halal. There you go. It's killed in a very humane, quick way. There's like a prayer said over it, which if you're praying over my meat that I'm about to eat, like, I'm, I feel better about it. That's an important thing to you? It's good.

Okay. I feel like this meat has been blessed. It's been preyed over. But it was really, really good. It was a different spice set than when I was, you know, you get into your traditional Texas barbecue.

For sure. And I had lamb, smoked lamb, which was amazing. And then they have fresh homemade bread, which is really good. Make a little lamb sandwich.

The bread game, We punt on bread for the most part at barbecue restaurants, you know? Like if you get, you can get like great rolls, great whatever. But for the most part, at the barbecue restaurant, I don't know if you know this, Dan. They're just handing you a piece of white bread. It's an accessory to scoop your stuff together. But when you go to like African or Middle Eastern restaurants, they're big on. It's the pita bread, non bread, I think is how you say it.

Is that how you say it? but they're way more into bread than we are way more. Yeah, it was amazing. Great. I mean, they have beef sausage and they use beef bacon. So they do Texas Twinkies, which is the, you know, pepper stuffed with brisket and peppers and other onions stuff. But they used beef bacon on it. Just this thick beef bacon.

It's so good. And then I just had, it was a good day. I talked to the owner. couple of times when he was walking through the line. Only white person in there. So that was fun. It's always a good sign when you walk into a restaurant. And, yeah, I have a new barbecue place.

That's only five minutes from my house. That's delicious and solid week. Clayton would easily be the funniest one to convert. Like, if we could get hit. And you know, those guys, those guys do well. It's like a black guy being conservative, right? Like we always tell KJ, we could get you at CPAC. Most of the books that I've read in stories I've read about, you know, terrorist cells, there's usually like an Australian white who gets involved that can really elevate

things to the next level. Are you saying convert into a terrorist or into just Muslim? Yeah, like first he goes Muslim and then like you just climb the ranks. Okay. You think that's the gateway to terrorism. Yeah. All right. I'll do mine. So I went to go see, where I took Brooks to go see a Brewer's game. I'm going to get to that at some point later in the week.

So we'll tease that. Is that what you say? You went to Milwaukee? Yeah. The Goodland. We did. Cream City. All stimming because, and I know why they call it that now.

How cool is that? All stimming because I brought Brooks home a brewer's shirt from when we went to spring training. You know why they call it Cream City? Yeah. As if that was a big mystery? I never cared to know. I mean, isn't it about the beer? Yeah.

No. Oh, it is? I thought there was like stones or something. Because when Milwaukee put those jerseys out, even Bob, I remember, was like, I don't know what this is. Is that like the Guardians in Cleveland? Yeah. akin to that. The original Miller Brewing Company used this light stone.

And so all the buildings looked the same. It was called Cream City. Oh, all right. Anyway, more of that later in the week. Did you know that they're still making Mori? The Mori Povitt Show? Yeah. It's online, right?

It's Zoom. He's like 85 or something. He's still cooking. Bro, let me promise you that he's a peptide peptidian because he looks great. Does he? Yes, I saw him recently. He was on a podcast I listened to. Still with Connie Chung?

Yeah, dude. They did an interview. recently together that was very Will Smith and Jada Pinkett. Do you know they're married? I'm maybe. I don't know. Okay. I don't really follow Mori. Anyway, but yeah. It did an interview where they addressed her having sex with Warren Beatty. Oh, wow. Okay. But he's sitting there in the studio. He's the host and he's got one screen of this

person, one screen of this person. You are the father. They go nuts. Oh, they're doing the same bit. It's the same bit. He's not doing it. It's on Zoom. It's weird. It's Mori doing a podcast now. Okay. Basically. All right.

I texted Jake about this. I love it. I went to go see my nephew play soccer, indoor soccer. And at this complex, you know, there's 10 different basketball courts. There's some volleyball courts, basketball, indoor soccer. It's just a ginormous complex. I went to go see and play soccer. And then there was a charge at the door, $20 to get in.

And so I called my dad. I'm like, I'm not paying to come to this indoor soccer game. He said, no, no, that's for the basketball tournament next door, or on the other side of the arena. Are people paying $20 to go watch their kids play basketball? Because if so, that's insane. And you called your dad? Like, I'm not doing this.

Oh, no, I'm not going to pay $20 to go see my nephew play indoor soccer. I may not watch my own kid play soccer for $20. But that's crazy. This is why people are starting to hate youth sports, right? The thing I was made aware of, And I think Congress is actually like taking this up because it happened to a senator. Was that they make you pay to use their media rights. So like you have to pay when you go.

And then if you take your phone out, they say you're not allowed to have your phone out. You have to use our images. So they couch it as that's what you're paying for. It would seem to me to be hard to pull that off in a place like where you were. Where it's just an assorted amount of. See, I thought you were going to. Yeah, I'm getting to that. and so on one of the courts was I

I think it was six and under basketball. I'm not great at gauging height and how old the kids were. They weren't old. They were definitely early elementary school. And I swear to you, the dad walked up to his kid and put on Dan, what they call a catapult, which is this thing, it's almost like a vest, but in the middle of it is a tracking device

that tells you how fast you're running, your angles, your, it's, I mean, calories, I would assume, steps. I mean, everything is tracked by this thing you wear on your chest. It's what the NFL players and NBA players were in practice. The only reason I knew about it was when I was working for TCU and they would wear theirs during the games, football and basketball.

But I'm pretty sure this six-year-old was wearing one. I hope I'm wrong, but I've seen enough of them to where I kind of knew what it was. what else could it be like even like maybe a heart rate monitor like some heart rate monitors or chest instead of wrist but that that would be weird no dude you're right that's what it was and someday your kid will be on a team and 12 out of the 15 guys have one of those and you're like well I better get him one he's the only one else he'll be behind yeah and let me tell you guys something I'm going to predict this right here we are not that far away from the era of high school and then probably middle school load management. They've got the catapult. They're already doing that how bet baseball was. You've always had. Yeah. I mean, I guess.

Yeah. But, you know, they wear the catapult to be like, look, he's wearing down on the left side a little bit. You know, I think Billy, the 11-year-old needs to skip Tuesday nights. I mean, it's insane. It's absolutely insane. What are you going to do with that data?

Can I add on to this sleep scores for your 10-year-old? Isn't that going to be in on it too? I look, he hasn't been sleeping while recently. His recovery score isn't very high. You could sell me on that actually having utility, but... That's the first... That's the gateway. You're right.

But the dad then walked over to the iPad where he was filming. I mean, it all made perfect sense. The kid, again, was six. I had a couple birthday parties to attend. Where are we on the beaten parent T-shirt? because I saw a guy wearing a shirt that said, yes, I'm tired. I have kids.

Oh, I want to, I thought we should do a bet payoff where you have to wear one of those every day for a month and just go take a photo. Because, yeah, I love it. And listen, I'm on vacation. You're not going to see them anywhere more than vacation. Like, if you've got that shirt, you wear it to the airport, you know. This guy was wearing it to, yeah, a kid's birthday party.

Like he was flaunting it And that morning He's like This will be a good day for it Because I'm gonna be at this party with all these other parents Yep Yep yep this will kill small talk Jake are you up on Ninja Kids

Uh no Okay So Ninja Kids They're a family of these kids that are really good at gymnastics And how they got there You kill me You kill me Just wait

Look at these names Go ahead. Peyton, Brighton, Ashton, Paxton. Yeah. Yep. And so I think the dad is real gym bro too. But I think a couple of them made their break when they start in a Power Rangers movie, when they did their fighting karate, whatever.

And here's where things went sideways. They thought they were awesome. They weren't just playing the role. they were doing much, they went above and beyond to the point where they were mad that they were not chosen to do the next Power Rangers movie

because you're just getting random kids that have some sort of talent. Anyway, so they spin off, got their start from the Ninja, from the Power Rangers movie we did, and they've made a brand called Ninja Kids. So where they started making their own shows on YouTube of all their tricks and whatever.

Then they, now they tell story, Well, fast forward, there is a gymnastics complex in North Richland Hills called Ninja Kids with their branding on it. Okay, I've been there. That's where I was, I was not aware that this was affiliated with a YouTube channel, but I've been to that place. I used to work in the building where it is. What did it used to be? An Albertsons. Okay.

Yeah. No, it started, yeah, with a guy or parents who thought their kids were really good in this movie and thought, we could do that on our own. Let's call them the Ninja Kids. They have a really corny song, and they have a YouTube channel. They're a YouTube family now. They put out all these loads of content, and now they have spaces where these gymnastics complex call it Ninja Kids.

It's insane. So the thing is, if you're a parent now, you're either saying, you're looking at your life and how can I make money off this kid, and it would be, you know, do I train him to be a tennis player or a golfer? but it seems like YouTube might be a easy entry a lot easier way in your kid doesn't really have to have any talent to open presence and to act like a kid right right

I don't feel like you guys have the data on the outcomes to say an easier way in at all like you're saying everyone is doing this this has got to be less likely than making the NBA like I mean you maybe not because to become a million follower family thing. Yeah, it's not easy. So many people. These people have 25 million followers, but no,

the leveraging it into IRL stuff, Digworld is opening maybe this week, Dan, in Grapevine, right there by the mall. You know who owns Digworld, or is at least co-branded. It's dude perfect.

Dude's. Yeah. It's a theme park where you can like, I don't know, maneuver tractors and stuff and it's their part I saw your hero Cooper Flagg was on Dude Perfect Who are you talking to? Jake?

Yeah He's all into the Mavs now Yeah What? Yeah I didn't know who he was talking to either Cooper Flagg was on Dude Perfect A three point contest versus Garrett And he lost

Not even Ty Cooper Flagg lost Yeah I mean, if Ty beat him, you could understand. He's the athletic one. He's the athletic dude. He lost versus Garrett. The only reason that bothered me when I saw that headline was because it made me think,

I bet that guy thought for a small second, there's a world where I could have played in the NBA, and that pissed me off. So while we were at Ninja Kids, I've come a long way with this because I used to be very old school and traditional about this. but I understand now that women have to breastfeed and sometimes that means breastfeeding in public. My wife will do the cover and whatever, and it is what it is. However.

They get them flappy bras now. Just open her right up. Yeah, I mean, they're almost all the way out anyway, right? Yeah. Wait, some of these women dress. No, she was in the middle of the gymnastics part. She was wearing her yoga pants and flaunting, whatever, she looked good.

And then her crying kid ran up to her and picked him up and fed him right there in the middle of the complex. No cover. Nothing. Should you walk over to the side or something, just kind of like... Well, let me ask you this.

That's me. Is there a... Am I... Am I... Kind of like kids around and stuff? What if... Yeah, yeah? You know, they got alcohol on.

Brooks was interested in what was going on. I'm sorry. Like, uh... Do we have a no drinks on the floor policy? Right? Yeah. I mean, like this seems super uncleanly. That's supposed to bring your own in.

Yeah. I don't know. Can you just sit somewhere? He just fired it out right there, though. Just right there. Unreal. That's disgusting. I had a guy judge me for Brooks's video game usage while we were at Chuck Echise over the break.

Wait, he's playing. You're at Chuck Echee Cheese, but you're at Chuck Echee Cheese, but you're also playing an iPad? No, no, no. That seems redundant. No, so the, so Brooks knows which Chucky Cheeses are better than the others, because we've been to most of them. And he knows that when we get to the one in Allen, which is the one right off the highway,

they have a Halo video game. And he'll spend all 40 credits on that. And so he was playing, and it's a two-player. It's like the old, you know, you sit in this booth and you can fire the guns. another kid can play with him Well this other kid came up And Brooks knew he sucked It is what it is

He wasn't much help Dad comes up, tries to help him Hey shoot this, shoot this, whatever The dad goes Here, here, here shoot those ghosts And Brooks looks at him and says Dude, they're banshees My kid's four

He's correcting adult on No look, they're flying, they're banshees He knows what they're called He knows what to do And he's just the disdain That this guy could call him ghost and then the guy looked at Brooks and then looked at me

and I was like, yeah, you know, he is right. They weren't ghosts. Went to that Chuckichi's birthday party. That was a listener birthday party. Brooks walked away with the gift. So now he thinks when he goes to any sort of birthday party, he's the one that gets the gift, which is pretty nice.

But they also got you something, Dan. Oh, they got Brooks something special because they knew you were coming. See, I'm betting this is fish, but could it be canned fish it might on the front says to Dan okay

the canned fish man is a wrapped extra wrapping what do we got do you know what's in here she told me she huh it better be worse it then

yeah it's something canned fish related ASMR or is it a joke it's so much paper it's just a joke oh could be is this a hilarious joke

You just made me open it on the air. Oh, man, I didn't check. They seemed so trustworthy. Oh, it's the bag? Oh, the bag itself. Oh, the bag itself. Yeah, she did say it was a canned fish organizer. Okay, yeah.

Oh, okay, yeah. It's full of, I'm looking through all the paper. A bag for your can fish. Yeah, it's got pictures of... Pictures of sardine cans. And so now, yes, I can carry my canned fish to work. All right. A little lunchbox.

Safely. I love that, uh, Brooks is learning about the difference in like geography and socioeconomic status via Chuckie cheese. Thank you, lady. He's like, oh, like he knows if we head north that they've got better games. Yeah, but he also knows if you're figuring it out. He knows if you head south that Chuckie cheese dances better. Don't know why.

Hey, let me tell you something. Speaking of Blake's weekend, if you were to slip and fall on breast milk at Ninja Kids and injure you, and injure yourself, you would need a personal injury attorney. You would need to call the Frankles at 214 or 817-33-33-33. We put out some Frankl-related content last week featuring our legal analyst Dan McDowell. Yes, I apologize for my audio. Their audio is perfect, though. It's great.

And they've got a great, great story, man. They legit. They used to work for, like, the big insurance company that would, you know, represent the trucking company or something. And he was like, I just couldn't, it was difficult for him to go to sleep at night, knowing that he's fighting, like, to keep you from, keep, so they wanted to fight for the little guy. And so that's what they do right now. They're awesome. And it's, yeah, it's a really good, really good hour if you want to go listen to. last week's business Wednesday.

So thank you, Frankl. 2-14-8-17, then 333-33-33. So where I am right now, Dan, is a place called Baby Beach. And I think if you just Google Maps. I didn't know he went to the Epstein. Right? No, it's not quite that. It's in Kauai. How do you guys feel about people?

I've been to Kauai. That is the only... It's probably the greatest place I've ever been. I haven't been to a ton of places, though. Well, I think, you know, very grateful and cockily, I will say I have been a lot of places, and this is still probably among the... Or the best, right?

I mean, it's magical. It looks like a movie set. Perfect weather, in fact. Yeah, I think they do a lot of movies out there, right? Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of Jurassic Park filming here. as you guys know I swore off the helicopter I made a pledge to the two of you and to my family

hey it'd be calling me because right when you land especially in Kauai when you land there's a thing that's like do you want to see the Jurassic Park that you grew up seeing like you can see it right here for $4.99. Now remember Troy Wolf I know I know

I know. Yeah but what are the chances it would happen again? well they're higher and he's fine he lives he's doing great the nail in the proverbial coffin was Jen Aubrey and I think I heard like third hand

that she said helicopters are not all that safe at least relative to like small planes yeah and she seems to know about air yeah so I'll tell you guys about Kauai as we go but the first week

we were in Honolulu on Oahu Oh, what I was going to say is just How do you feel about people who say like I was in Hawaii or I'm on Kuwaiti like you gotta put the like We're saying Turkey A in the World Cup now

I don't know if you noticed Yeah, you know we're against this. Go ahead. Okay. Unless it's a local or something But if it's your dad, no. So when we were in Honolulu, the first few days we were at like a Marriott resort in Waikiki Beach and then we were at the Disney place for one day

and while like I'm over the moon grateful that I'm able to take this trip life is good that that that shit is not relaxing at all like if anybody's thinking when you're going to a place like it's a mayhem it's like New York City on an island like the the resorts are crowded And it's crazy because I know, I guess I was thinking that when you get, like, that there's a certain level of like, well, this is Hawaii. Like it's so exorbitantly expensive. It can't be that crowded. It can be. There's a lot of people who, you know, you would not, I don't know how to put it because like it's not a race thing.

But like, there's a certain type of person that I feel like as a white trash that I identify with that I did not expect to see the Great Wolf Lodge. in like Hawaii. And that's what it's like. And it's mayhem. There's people getting hammered. There's like it's whale tails. You mean just the bigger island, not Kauai or all of it? Not Kauai. No, we'll get to this as we go.

This is magic. Are you talking Destin? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I haven't really been there, but that's what it is. The Redneck Riviera? Yeah.

Like if, you know, there's pools, five or six pools. at the resort, but they open at nine. And if you're not in line at 8.30, you're not getting a chair the rest of the day. Like until that pool closes at maybe 6 o'clock. It just, every time you get on an elevator, it's full. You're waiting five to 10 minutes for, four to five minutes for an elevator and then it's full. The building is 40 stories. Like, it's just stressful.

It's just the whole thing is like you're nut to butt with people. And the other thing too that I think I've told you guys before This is funny because my mom is here with us right now But Effid Like everybody has memories of like meltdowns On vacations as a kid right

Like if you were lucky enough to go on vacation We did Like I remember my mom like crying Like at Disney World Like nobody appreciates this all that And I just feel like especially In a place like Hawaii Everything is so expensive

especially at the resorts, the hotels. I feel like everybody is on the edge about the money and they're pissed. And like, oh, this is a room right. This is not really what I asked for. And everybody paid so. It's just you can feel it, dude. And I love it. Everybody's husbands and wives yelling at each other.

People yelling at their kids. Like, hey, how old are you? How old are you acting? It's just, dude, it's razor's edge with like the clearest water and greenest trees you've ever seen everywhere. So it's so, it's the most beautiful, whatever, and then. So why do you love it? You just like chaos?

You like that you're outside of it. You lived it. You were a part of it. I definitely was. And you're not going to be, you're not going to continue the cycle. No. This is your goal. And I look, my son is trying to find flaws in that on this trip with, um, like, my mom got here

And it was within a day, she was like, what's, what's, what's he, what's he doing? Because he's just punching people in the face. Punching people in the face. How old is he? About to be four, he's three and a half. Okay. But we need to get him a bully. So, but that, oh, he needs one.

Yeah, he needs like an older, a five-year-old kid. There's something, which I thought used to be your daughter, but maybe she's getting, like, physically outnumbered now. Yeah. Because growing up, she. Yeah, so. Yeah. I remember she didn't. She wanted to put him out in the middle of the street when he was in a carrier. They fight nonstop.

They fight 24-7. So she does bully him to the extent that she can. But yeah, no, they, they, there's from the second they wake up, and you'll probably hear it until the second they go to bed, they're fighting. And what's interesting when you say that the meltdown thing, because I have memories of that too. And we grew up in like a yelling household. and that's why I maybe like to just go be alone. I'd like to get away from that. It oftentimes then the meltdown is the memory.

It's the prevailing like the number one thing on the Rolodex of your thinking about what, hey, let me remember that trip to Florida. Oh yeah, that's when we got yelled at for eating butter sticks or whatever. You know, like I'm trying to remember what that year was. But now that you're... That's crazy because you have a story like that, right? Yeah. I legit have one.

Of eating the butter pads? Yeah. Yeah, that's all we got in trouble for it. It was at Disney World. My mom, I swear to God. It was the Florida one. My mom and stepdad took us to a French restaurant at Disney World. We were like 9 and 6 or 10 and 7.

We were supposed to behave. And they had the butter was styled as a little man. What do you think my brother did? We're eating. Yeah. They lost it. But the meltdown is the memory. So.

As evidenced. You trying to avoid that, I mean, can you avoid it? Or is your kid only get to remember the negative? Like, because if you live in a world of 99% positive, but then one negative, you'll remember the one negative thing. So maybe you should beat him a bit more. Well, it's just, I'm not going to be part of it. Whatever negativity they remember, it'll be like, well, that was around chilling.

But it's just a lot of that, dude. Like, I was laughing. There was a guy. I saw a guy that, you know, I referenced it, but you hear a lot of like, hey, how old are you? And I'm like, seven. And I'm like, well, you're acting four. You're acting four. And I looked down and this guy's got crocs with little Tabasco, like, gibbet things in it.

And I'm like, come on, bud. Like, you're not commanding, like, general authority. Yeah, on his ninth beer. The, you're acting like a four-year-old with a seven-year-old. old. That's an interesting fact. That might actually work. It does, especially if they have a four-year-old sibling. You can be like, do you want to be like this idiot? Yeah. You know, we're all making fun of him. I saw something that I will present here because Clayton is here. At the, at the hotel pool, you know, you're going to also go wait half an hour for a $15 bucket.

a fry or a thing of fries and a $25 burger. So I'm up there waiting in line, which is something I just do now. I kind of look for lines. You're the line guy? Yeah, I'm just walking around. Like, what are y'all boys doing? What are you waiting on? Can I wait?

So I'm waiting for food. Got the air pod in. And there's a lady in front of me, dude. And we've talked about, like, if you're at sporting events and maybe you do the nightly newscast. and you're texting your lady friends a 72 point font. Or you're just a fan at a, or maybe you're at a graduation. And there's a lot of Mexican people there.

And you want to let people know, you've got to be careful with what's on your phone in public. But this lady was not texting. She was on some level of social media app that had a real feature because a video popped up and she stopped this video on this. And I think that's important to note that it did just show up. She didn't seek this out. this is a Latino woman about my age and the video she was watching was a giant horse

fucking another horse. Come on. I swear to God, dude. Where in line you're saying? Why am I being brought into the story? Go ahead, go ahead, Clayton. The horse was in a stable. She was in line.

Yeah. Like waiting for, you know, Maita's kids everywhere. And the volume was on. Oh, my God. It sounded like you think it did. And she scrubbed it back and like watched it a few times. I didn't have my phone on me or otherwise I swear to God, I would prove this to you.

But I'm thinking like it's got to be like a agriculture thing, right? Like she's into, she's like Rognetto Doors friend. Like they're just and if you're into horses, is that something that if it shows up on your feed? Like if I see like a cool. comedy sketch or like a cool pass down the middle if you're into horses and one just absolute dude because they don't make you know they don't make love dude like it looks like a rape it is a

it's an aggressive thrust and if you're into horses you just like oh interesting this is just like a basketball highlight you would have to think though that she's not into it as much Like if she was rewining it over and over, like, oh, I haven't seen this before. Yeah, like what's the... It's like the Luca slow motion highlight, you know, the falling down, tips it to Kyrie, that one. Oh, yeah.

Derek Jones, Jr., was it, Dunk? So she's why, like, I got to see it again. Really weird. Really, really weird. But so, again, I don't know if that's just like if you're in, you know, are you in horses? I don't know. I've seen it in real life, and it's not something I've ever wanted to look at again. Yeah, it's pretty.

I don't understand. So did you get this chick's number or what? No, I did not. Yeah, I have plenty more from the week, but I'll wrap up by telling you. I did see a couple chickens have sex this morning. You will hear those periodically throughout the next four days, not necessarily having sex, but there are chickens everywhere here. It's a bit of an interesting story.

They don't have them on the other islands, but that is something that will be annoying throughout the week, I fear. Yeah, I was in Kauai for my honeymoon. And that's my big memory is, well, one, not being allowed on a horse because I was too fat. And then the other one was all the chickens.

And it has something to do with, like, there was a hurricane that released all the chickens, and then they just breed. and you can't get rid of the chickens, right? Like they're, they're like squirrels. Correct. Yeah. And in Texas, that's how prevalent the chicken.

Like, you're, you walk outside, you're going to see a chicken. You will see a chicken. And they don't, I think I was led to believe that they start doing their thing when the sun comes up. That is not true. They start much earlier than that. 3.30, 345. They're doing their thing. The rooster thing?

Yeah. And apparently the issue is that there are no Mongeese here. I don't know if it's more all of that is, but apparently the other islands at one point brought on Mungi to kill rats. And this place never tried it so they don't have them here. They don't kill the chickens.

There you go. So there's my weekend check. All right. There's our weekend check. We now bring you sports, and it'll be brought to us by Trident Access Services. That's my garage door company. It's our garage door company.

Trident. What's that? He's the King of the Sea. Is that why they're called Trident? Yeah, man. He's a Navy guy. He's got a big Poseidon tattoo on his leg. He's Navy, man.

Okay. Well, they're fantastic, man. They'll come out, give you, like, kind of a tune up. Just, you know, check everything over. If your garage door sounds like noisy, give them a call. My garage door, you can literally sleep right above the garage, which I do sometimes, and the garage door won't wake you up. It's so silent now.

They give you a 10% discount across the board. get those springs checked the track the weather stripping if your door is sticking or now if you need a gate maybe you're a gate guy i think julie dobs has a gate i just i simply have a garage door i try to stay grounded but if you're one day if you ascend if you ascend to gate money they've got you covered with custom electric motorized gates whatever you need at tx trident dot com like dan said

mention the dumb zone, you'll get that 10% discount. 81751212.12. TXTribement.com. Gate mauging. Oh, yeah, I like that. Before a World Cup, before we get into any World Cup stuff, I want to do, old man is very upset right now. And I need to bring in my really good friend.

If I'm to refer to myself as old man in this conversation, I need run the ball guy or maybe even establish the run guy. Do you see any baseball story that got you going crazy today? Or no? Today. Today. Today in particular. How about you, Jake? See any baseball story?

It was about a game yesterday. I can't say that I have. I can't say that I have. Yuri Perez. You're familiar with Yuri Perez, fantasy guy? Somewhat. He is a Marlins pitcher. Anyway, part of the story is that it's his third start after a DL stint or IL or whatever they call it now.

Oh, I know what happened. RL, I think, as Corby once said it. Does this have to do with yanking? He got yanked. He went seven innings, 92 pitches. and they're like, well, we kind of plan for 90 is going to be his limit. And so we're going to yank him right now. He had retired every batter in the game, 21 batters in a row.

He needed six more to reach baseball immortality. A perfect game. And they yanked him. So I saw this story and did not follow up on it, but was confused because it appeared that they were on the road and the home fans were like, you know, the one jeering them. Like, we're watching this trash baseball game. We're seven out of nine there. What are we doing?

You can see history. Yeah. Yeah. Now, I will say, I have tremendous respect for my friend, Dan. He, along with T.C., really changed the way I see the world. But we all have our weaknesses. I believe a writer in New York, or once called it chinks in the armor.

This is one of Dan's worst opinions, and it's only because he grew up a baseball geek, because this number is made, this is like wanting them to call the game differently with two minutes left. If you've decided that the number is the number for the strategy, and that's what makes sense, that's the number.

Like that's, it doesn't, you have a plan in place, and you don't let emotion or, you know, the whims of the moment. change it. That's the way I've been taught by my agnostic leaders here. But when baseball gets involved, then everybody has stuff like this, everybody. But baseball people have it bad. They can't shake it. They'll cut off their dick to see a perfect game.

If that's what it means, it's like, dude. I mean, he wasn't through 130 pit. Like, I don't know. The plan is the plan. Yeah, I know the plan is the plan. but then you're going to also then have to convince me that they did really a scientific breakdown to come up with the number 90. And then show me some history, which actually shows, oh, okay, now that we're only doing 90 pitches, look how no one gets injured anymore. I suggest to you that maybe just as many people are getting injured now as used to get injured.

I do think there's too much, but I... What if they had yanked Len Barker in 1981? one. Like, that's a big memory for me as a little kid. Okay, Jake, pre-Luca trade,

we're all about the Mavericks. They're up 40. There's three minutes left. Let's pull the starters. Luca has 99 points. Are you pulling him? No, probably not. No.

But I had to- You want to chase certain milestones or achievements or accol- You want to chase. There's a part of you that wants to chase something. Yeah, that feels like

it's on the same spectrum, but the most extreme possible example, but you're right. I guess there is an example. Coming back from a leg strain. He just came off the lit. The list was a leg strain. And then this is the Marlins.

As a pitcher, you know, I know that, yeah. And the Marlins' managers, like, we're looking to play beyond the regular season. No, you're going to be an important part of that. You're doing well, but you're, still the Marlins. Come on. I have to think about Yuri won and our organization, our team.

What's best moving forward to give us a chance to continue to win games? Was there, they asked, is there any consideration of sending him back out there and going better by better? You know, let's, if he mows him, what if he had a five-pitch inning? I mean, the seventh was a nine-pitch inning. He was getting it done. He had it going. He said, no consideration at all.

90 was the number I was going to feel comfortable with letting him throw today. That was going to guide all the decisions I made with him at any part of the game. On one hand, I believe what Jake is saying. But on the other hand, this is a... It's history, man. Again, were they, did he get to 190 pitches? I mean, he did not. Let me also say that there's so many unknowns here.

It's not the third, fourth, fifth inning. I mean, he is, like you said, six outs away. Yeah. You're that close. And you could convince me that a guy getting a perfect game, like somehow gives him confidence that plays out like future in his career, like that it doesn't just discreetly end with that game. You could convince me of that now. Talking about momentum? It feels like Dan is kind of 50-50 on this.

Like he sees my point. He has this point. Now I will remind him that the general manager, at least in some capacity of the Marlon, is Gabe Kapler. and we'll see He's involved in the front office. I wonder what Gabe Kapler would have done. In fact, maybe I'll find out what Gabe Kapler would have done. But he probably wouldn't tell me that on the record because if it did go against the manager of his team that he would not want that.

I just assume that stuff comes from above the manager. Like the manager could say all he wants. That's like talking to Shottie in most places, I feel like. Yes, he's going to get that later. Let me tell you who I don't run to for to see what. what the Rangers have going on right now. It's the manager. He won't be here.

How'd the game end up? Oh, well, then that's another part of the story is they were up 8-0. No. And they barely won. Well, I think they won 8-7. Like, they gave up five runs the next inning. Like, it was... Oh, Jonah Heim.

Yeah, hit a grand slam in the next inning. You counted for 8. Anyway, I knew I'd just be old man yelling at a cloud there. But I don't know, man. That guy, you're never going to follow the career of Yuri Perez from now on. Because I would more suggest it's not going to give him the confidence to just become a great Major League pitcher. And this is what you have to give him. Like, this could be his day.

Like, and that's it. But. Well, speaking of old man reactions, I, uh, I live much like for a big part of vacation is seeing people fight on vacation. I just, I love soccer and the World Cup feels like college football to me. Not that I don't have a rooting interest. I would like to see America win. But it just has always had a lot of like legal bullshit in it, it seems like, that I'm not that, not that interested in.

But I like when a story like the red card being rescinded pops because immediately I know God, the take economy is going to be so strong here. Whether it's the fact that the president is involved or the Dave Portnoy's involved or the fact that, you know, for better or worse, it kind of feels like America moves different now than it might have whenever we were growing up. And now it feels a little more dictatory and a little more like bribe. And it always just felt like the whole FIFA corruption thing, super corrupt. But it was like beneath America.

It was like, like FIFA corrupt. It's like second, third world type. Like, we got our own thing. We run the world. Like, what are we doing? But getting involved in like greasy soccer politics, I got to, I got to say, this feels good. We've always run the world, but at least tried to. It's kind of like the rich guy, the rich guy who's like, look, we're not that wealthy.

We're more middle class. We're like, you know, you try to be humble about it. We've been bullshit in forever. But this is like your rich neighbor now going, God damn right. I'm the richest guy here. And I'm going to tell you. what to do. Yeah.

And it's, it's, it feels slimy, but, but who cares? That's my general thought on it. Uh, at the same time, um,

I am a guy who doesn't think they should call the game differently in the last two minutes. Uh, I like sports to be as agnostic as possible and as, by the rules as possible. So rescinding a suspension. that is unprecedented essentially feels very weird to me.

Didn't they do it though with someone else in the World Cup currently? Oh, I thought it was like 60 years ago or something. Oh, I thought it was somebody like this year to let Messi play or something. I'm not aware of that. What's port noise involvement here? Well. I know Trump supposedly was in on a phone call with the guy who gave him a the soccer peace prize or something?

The thing is, yeah. The thing is that the rock knew that Osama bin Laden was dead before most of the American government knew. And these guys are around these people enough to where they've got people who are going to feed them info. And there's somebody on staff at the White House, probably a bunch of people that through back channels communicate these things. So he had no involvement, but a few hours before it happened, Portnoy was tweeting like, hey, this is going to get overturned.

And I saw it and was like, this is insane. There's no way. And then you start seeing the tweets. And it's like, oh, it's from the athletic. So, yeah, I mean, obviously anybody with a slightest bit of soccer knowledge or you could just defer to somebody with a lot of soccer knowledge knows that the foul was a very questionable, like 9010 calls. but just questionable 90 that they wouldn't have

called that anyway. Yeah, it's not a foul. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they used like slow-mo to indicate that it was a foul and apparently they're not even supposed to use slow-mo and that's what they

based the rescinding on. But so if you wanted to be someone they didn't even, yeah, but hold on, they didn't rescind it. They postponed the suspension. Suspended the suspension. Yeah, like it's suspended the suspension for a year.

which takes a lot of teeth away, I would think. Yeah. So they're saying, yeah, you should be suspended, probably, but we're going to think about it for like 12 months. Really? By then you'll forget. And it occurs to me, too, though, that, you know, there has, you share this sentiment, right?

Like, as a soccer outsider of a half generation above, like, doesn't soccer have, like, a boxing-like feel to you? where, and that's probably racist, honestly. But what do you mean, dirty? Yeah. In the top of the sport? Yeah. I've always heard that FIFA is like the most corrupt organization on Earth.

That, that, you know, the way that soccer clubs, a lot of times work ruthlessly, financially, that there's just a lot of corruption that doesn't exist to the same degree in American sports. But, you know, what's weird is that, like, everyone thinks that and it's still the most popular game in the world. well yeah but that's what you get when you're the first one yeah but i guess i sometimes these days have a concern that all of the gambling that we've introduced to american sports is going to change it and that when i get older it won't be the same but like the same people who think that every match is fixed in their country are the ones who are showing up going insane like they're the diehards you know. And that's one thing I like about soccer is it reminds me like everyone can go into

every one of these matches being like, I think we're, this is rigged against us. And it's still like the most enjoyable, you know, sporting experience you can have. And man, I had a blast yesterday. I mean, if you have more on the right car, we can keep going. But I don't know, dude. I do on the Belgium coach. So the Belgium, they're going to play Belgium tonight. A little broke bitch. Yeah. And so the Belgium coach does not speak English. Who knows what he's speaking here. But there is a translator over it. And I thought what he said was worth listening to.

I didn't realize that at FIFA headquarters, July 5th was the equivalent of April 1st in Europe. So first of all, we discover... He's a dork. Well, I'm saying, first of all, I've discovered April Fool's Day is a thing. Okay. Like, really? I'm with Dan. You're saying in France, that...

They're like, oh, got you. It was not a... You get to keep your head. I was not wearing a time. No idea. Yeah, April Fool's Day. Belgium. They're like waking up.

What a funny... I can't believe this. They've invaded. Oh, they didn't invade. That's silly. Okay, so that's number one. I didn't realize that at FIFA headquarters, July 5th was the equivalent of April 1st in Europe.

The Belgian Football Association isn't defending itself, nor is it defending the national team. It's defending football in general. Dude, this is bigger than the show. This is bigger than just... President Whitmore from Independence Day. He's out of the flight deck. This is about just the integrity of the beautiful game.

itself. I mean, I love this, dude, because I, and perhaps this is just like exposing a ruse that participating in like, hey, I'm not xenophobic. I just love it because you get to feel xenophobic. You get, oh, yeah, you don't. Yeah, you are against the whole world.

That's just us. Except when you look at the players on your team are like, hey, that guy doesn't even live here. That was my old man take was going to be that I knew after I watched the USA game the other day, and it was so awesome. And they go down to the field and like, the coach does, you know, he's from Argentina. He doesn't, he and no affiliation with the country at all. And then you look at the first couple players they go to and are like, I don't think that guy's ever. I imagine there are some people who are bothered by that. It doesn't bother me. I still think it's supremely cool.

And America has one of the more American-born or natural-born rosters in the tournament. And most of the teams are mostly comprised of guys who did grow up there. I looked it up. It's a funny, I guess, dichotomy or whatever. If you grew up. I think it's insane you can play on two teams. That you could have played for one, but you decided to play for another? No, there are guys.

Like, for example, Bosnia and Herzegovina, whatever, they've got 11 guys who played on other teams. Now, part of that might be, that wasn't a country. During the World Cup, they played on two different teams? Not on this World Cup, but in the past, they have played for another national team. Last time, last World Cup, I played for England,

this World Club, I'm paying for, okay. Dude, there was a guy out there the other day for one of these teams that they were like, you know, he was on another, he was playing for another country two months ago. that to me is like insane i mean if you wanted to be honest about it i would let this run through a 23 and me and the whole thing just be like hey go with god whatever the whatever the results of the DNA test says that's what you're playing for would be great if you got a red card tonight because he's making it bigger this is about the respect of the game and then he's just out there

just demolishing people i got to be honest with you i don't know if this is a take anybody else has watching. But I just feel like in general, obviously athletes are bigger, faster, stronger now than they've ever been, right? And we see this in our sports. We see in the NBA that you're like, how the fuck is there a guy who's seven foot tall

who does that? That's not, that doesn't make sense. How is it possible that the safety can have this? We see it in our sports and we, I always point out the field's not getting bigger, right? So it's essentially a cage. The dimensions on the field are

changing, but the ball and the dimensions aren't getting bigger. The same thing is happening. The people. The people are getting bigger. Right. And in soccer, the same thing is happening. So you don't notice it. I don't notice it as much because the field is so big.

But bro, I notice it when they're on ball now. It's an extremely physical game. You know, they've got dudes out there that are NFL linebacker size. Have you seen the Norwegian player that everybody's hyped on? Dan. I almost sent you an article I read about it. No. Holland, I think, is how you say his last name. I've enjoyed his content. Dude. He had a blast in Texas. Erling Holland. I'll read you just a little bit from this New Yorker article, Dan. First of all,

you need to know what this guy looks like. He looks like a bike. He looks like the coach from Iceland on Mighty Ducks. He's got long blonde hair and a ponytail. He's 6-5-215. 215. He's. He runs like a bull. He scored both their goals yesterday. They do this bit where he beats on a drum and the whole crowd does like a Viking row thing. All right. Dude, he's nuts.

Like he, let's see, he consumes 6,000 calories a day, mostly beef heart. He drinks raw milk. Does he look like Dan Campbell? You're making me think of Dan Campbell. Okay, go. Yeah, but he's 26, you know. Uh-huh. He owns a tax-sheltered investment company named Pillage,

playing on the Viking thing. I guess that's not an anchor word. Yeah, sure, but he's kind of using it that way. They didn't put the other anchor word in there. Go ahead. He bought an edition of a 13th century old North Saga, a book for $130,000, and donated it to his local library because, quote, I've never been much of a reader.

Let's see. He once posted a photo of himself on a plane, staring ahead intensely with the caption, just raw dog to seven hour flight, no phone, no sleep, no water, no food only map. Like he's just,

yeah, as Blake said, he was in Fort Worth with the cowboy. Like, this dude is, he's nuts and he's fun to watch. And that guy does not play soccer in a way. that fits the conception of how I watched soccer

for the first like 25 years of my life. There's still certainly some theatrics to it that I could do without. But, you know, I thought the two games yesterday, just the, there's a musicality to it when it's done at the level those guys are doing it at that I freaking love.

I love it. Landed Donovan is terrible on the call. I don't know how much of him you've heard, but that guy's he's not good. I was thinking Tony Romo whenever I was listening to that yesterday. Very low energy. Very low energy.

I learned that soccer announcers, at least in England, say, fluffed it. Fluffed it? For like a mistake. Okay. I didn't grab any audio, but I heard it a couple times.

That's an interesting one. Oh, he fluffed it. I'm going to start using that over here. Yeah, it was just, it was a good time watching it. Do you guys think that the World Cup is the moment in time when the most different gods are being prayed to at the same place in the same time?

A good gummy thought. Yeah. It's like everybody in there is talking to somebody, but fairly are they all in the same place, you know? And boy, the fans are awesome. I'll tell you a place where woke doesn't exist. That's another area where it's college football is just T and A galore in the crowd.

But, you know, those guys don't give a shit. The fans are just hilarious, like as Jim Knox showed us. Oh, yeah. What is this? This is the Australia contingent. I got this off of Fox 4. Yeah. They were, I guess they went to Walmart in Arlington, you know?

Because that's what Arlington has. They have a beautiful Walmart. And here's... They were getting kicked out of them. Walmart. Okay. That's important. So police are wrangling them up.

But they're very, uh, having a fun time about it. I'm like, all right, we'll get kicked out. They're all going to walk out and they're going to chant on the way out. They're chanting, we're getting deported. It's awesome. You know, we're going to have fun with it. Yeah, you got to have fun with it. What were you saying?

What's the Mexican? England's story that you wanted to get there. So I was trying to see if there's any truth behind this, but England played Mexico last night in Mexico. It was incredible. Incredible. Incredible, dude. That might have been the best, for what it's worth,

soccer game I've ever watched. I'm, I can't, I don't know if there's any validity to this, but I'm going to just choose to believe it's real. England, having to stay in Mexico the night before the game, booked 15 different hotels to try to disguise their local. the night before the game. Mexico fans found their hotel and began playing horns and setting off fireworks late in the night to try to disturb England's sleep.

I believe it. I don't know about the videos are real. I don't know if they actually had to book multiple hotels, but they were definitely escorted away from the hotel because they were setting off fireworks. That's awesome. Yeah. It was mayhem in there yesterday. I don't know, man. They said that it's like, you know.

know, it's at the elevation of, like, 5,000 feet. It's just way, way up there. Yeah. And, you know, England, they're not used to that. That's another part of the World Cup you don't think about is like, you know, we talk about it like when the Pack 12 has to join the Big Ten and you're like, boy, these boys are not going to like that cold. But when you put it on the world stage, it's very funny to me.

So how much, how much? Oh, go ahead. I just thought the tweet of the World Cup. Cup, though, really, and I'll wrap up my part with this, is just from Brad Sham. Among the things made clear by World Cup telecast, the U.S. is not doing enough to find and train women play-by-play and analysts. They're capable of more than the sideline. Nothing wrong with the sideline. What talented women are not getting a chance? And why? So. Why? Where did this come from? Does he watch NFL's

Sunday and tweet the same thing? What is he saying? Well, because I would guess there's talented women that watch football. On Fox US's English and World Cup coverage, we currently have two announcers out of 18. So I'm not totally sure where he got that idea. There are six female reporters, match reporters. But more interestingly, this is similar to what people, used to say to me, you know, whenever you'd start arguing about like affirmative action or something, right? Like, I'm not saying I'm necessarily, I'm going to give up my job here,

but I acknowledge that there are demographic advantages that I have, right? Um, I find it odd for Brad sham to just poke his head out and be like, why aren't, why aren't more women getting opportunities. Like, if it was this like you're, I mean, is it like an industry that just kind of rewards longevity and just kind of keeping a job forever if you've been doing it forever. And if you're a male, you probably can't get fired unless you really do something. Like, what are we talking about? You know why? I know why. I know why I'm here. You like, why? I don't know. Is he performed with doing that? You know how we all do performative things to get in someone's pants at some point in their life? Is he positive?

possibly sitting there with some lady who's bitching about the ladies. And he's like, hey, you're right. I'm going to, let me fire off a tweet for you. As soon as I can get my phone out of my pocket, that's near my knee. I will fire off this tweet. Other sports, let's just give a quick shout out to Plum Quick, shall we? Oh, hell, yeah. What can you tell us about Plum Quick?

Robert, I hope you're the guy who can tell us a little bit about it. Robert Lacey is the owner of our newest sponsor. Plum Quick. We've been looking for a plumber for a while now. Yeah. Well, I'm really excited to be the plumber for you guys. We are a residential and commercial plumbing company. So we'll do anything related to plumbing, give us a call.

We'll be there to, we'll be there quick. Now, do you have a, isn't there some kind of a bit for, like I can sign up for like an annual, like just, do you call it a tune up or just a checkup or what do you call that? Well, we have a home maintenance membership. So that's, you know, for plumbing. So our membership includes water heater flush, which I don't know if you guys know, but you're supposed to be doing that once a year. and that helps just get all the calcium and everything out of your water heater. We'll also, yeah, we'll inspect all of your plumbing, and we will also come in and do a sewer cleaning

and a camera inspection as well, part of the membership. Okay. Don't you have like one, oh, one drain cleaning per year is part of that, right? Yep. You waive that service fee on that one. 10% off repairs up to $500. Plumquickcompancy.com where you got your 469-331-3669.

That's us. But yeah, I got to have you guys out. Yeah. Got a couple little things. We'd love to take a look at your plumbing. I want to do the annual bit, just because often it's like I've lived there 15 years. And there's always like a couple little things, but I'm like, I'm not going to call about this one little thing. Am I going to call about this?

I'm not. But now I got like five or six little things. Well, and it's nice if you're part of the membership because you're not getting that service fee then. So you can have us come out and take a look at something. You know, we can give you the options. You're not getting charged that service fee every time you call us, which is, I mean, it's really nice. And you are an actual listener of the show. Yep.

So when someone wants to complain about us, you will be able to complain right along with them. Yeah. Be right there. And when they ask you to join their main vein, you'll know what they're saying. Yeah. Yeah. Don't act all disgusted. like you're above this, Jake?

I just feel for Robert now that I just know what's coming. Plum quick. Plum quick. Kind of goes with it with the plumbing. There's a lot of things you can use. Trying to get the pipe. All right, Jake. We have two stories.

Choose one and we'll do it right now. ESPN's Matt Miller. What's the deal with this? Or is LeBron coming to Dallas? I got to go, Matt Miller, man. All right. I have to. Yeah.

This just blew up, blew up the timeline right when we got a, right when we did our last show. Yeah. And Matt Miller is a guy that, you know, there's probably a significant number of listeners who are familiar with him

because fantasy is extremely popular. And he's been around for a minute. I'm sure, Blake, you were very aware of him. Oh, yeah. He's an ESPN guy, but you know like a lot of these guys they kind of have their own like cottage industry thing going

whether it's fantasy football or the draft so they'll have like a lot of side hustles going on and I guess one of his was running fantasy leagues and so against that backdrop he got in a car accident recently as these things go he posted that he hoped to make a full recovery made a joke about the fact that he had potentially lost his arm and said that he hoped to come back fully recovered as the best one-arm bartender in town as he has I think recently opened like a sports lounge in his hometown Joplin Missouri Mississippi in any case so he's like having fun with it well wishes come pouring in and everybody's just like hey you know really hoping this guy gets back. Hey, he's got to go fund me here. Let's throw some money at that.

That lasted about a day, maybe, before people started coming out of the woodwork saying, you know, actually, this guy owes me a lot of money. There was a Reddit thread that was posted before any car accident was made public and before it occurred. There had been a Reddit thread for a few weeks out there of people saying, hey, I signed up for this lease. with Matt Miller from ESPN. And very similar to the leagues that we do or the knockout league survivor pool we do, we take in money.

Let's say it's $20,000. And $10,000 of that dollars goes to the North Texas Food Bank and $10,000 goes to the winner. So Matt Miller was doing this at scale, like at least 90 leagues. And was sitting on almost like half a million dollars in bank roll. And so the problem is he's not getting the money where it needs to go.

He's not paying people out when they win. He's not providing proof that any of the money went to charity. He also was apparently charging for like classes to do fantasy, you know, similar to a gambler. My cousin who's a pro poker player will teach classes. So I guess if you're a fantasy savant guy, you can. you can teach people how to be better at fantasy. And he was charging people, you know, 500 bucks or something for these classes and providing no services.

So this Reddit thread happens in late May and a bunch of people or it's picking up steam. People start posting screenshots of them emailing Matt Miller from ESPN and copying ESPN executives on it. And that's when they said they started getting some replies and started being paid back. And a lot of people started getting paid back. And then he got in this car accident. So he's really SPN. It's not like,

No, he's real. The writers now are like, oh, I write for Sports Illustrated, but it's the... No, he's really ESPN. Okay. And he may not be on TV every day ESPN, but he's really ESPN. And so he gets in this car accident. he comes out says, hey, I'm hurt. I'm going to be back.

Then people are like, oh, the fuck you will. And so he's gone silent since then. And, you know, the problem is that now, like the attorney general in whatever it is, Missouri, now they want in. Because now they're saying, like, wait, there's somebody doing a little bit of fraud here. And he hasn't, he hasn't popped back up since then. but just a hilarious story. I was actually listening to the fan on Friday, flipping around after our show or something,

and they have a segment, I swear to God, when I went to go pull this audio, I swear to God, Blake, that they had just got done doing top 10 barbecue desserts. No way. I swear to God. Barbecue desserts. Yeah.

Number four, Peach cobbler. Peach cobbler, I think, was one. Oh. So this segment is called, like, this segment, very similar to Donkey of the Day is biggest L's and biggest dubs. And I just thought the way this was framed was super, super funny radio. All and off the field. No one is safe from this imbecile's tongue.

It's biggest L is a lot of sports L's this week. softball coach for Gardner Webb, who got canned for allegedly trying, at least, to have romantic relationships with her players. All right. Now, I did look into that story, and I have more for you later this week. Apparently softball coaches be, I was going to say bonet, but this isn't. Yes. And full of them have been fired this summer for this very thing. So that's his first big loser, right?

The first big loser. That's their donkey of the day. Or what's the segment called? Oh, there's biggest L's, biggest Dubs. Biggest L's, biggest Dubs. So they're throwing out their big loser, and then you vote on the biggest loser? Yeah, but so that's that, that's that one, right? Okay, softball coach having sex with their player.

Right? Players. So that's a pretty good size L right there. Of course, you have the Matt Miller L losing his arm. Yes. What? So it's not about the scandal. Died hang gliding.

What an idiot. He did go on to finish with that. I just thought the phrasing, yeah, this lady, you know, she was subject to an investigation. Sexual assault. Then Matt Miller, you know, losing his arm. Sort of an elf. No, dude. The internet just had an absolute field day with the guy.

Like, there's nothing, nothing better than somebody who. starts out in good graces and quickly is, you know. Has he gone away though? Or is he still out there tweeting and everything as if nothing happened? He really lost his arm? That I think is true. And I think that the guy was trying to, Aubrey McClendon himself.

I think he was trying to kill himself. Because all of the breadcrumbs of like he was settling up with people and the incident report. Now, who knows, as these things go, right? Like, once you're suspicious, maybe you look at every incident report and you're like, I don't know. But they say, like, he caused the accident. Like, he swerved into oncoming traffic, like leftover style.

Huh. That's the problem. As I said on Twitter, as a guy who has answered yes to as you've ever had suicidal ideations that the therapist before, the biggest deterrent against suicide is I don't think it's easy. Yeah. You're really playing with fire there, dude. Because if you don't do it right, it's... He'd a similar.

It's more than just your ego. Yeah, dude. It's a bad... I mean, maybe he's texting and driving, but... Who knows? But we're not sure. Does he have two arms or not? I'm relatively certain that based on him making a joke about it,

when he still thought that he was in the clear, that he's down to one arm. Yeah, left arm amputated. I guess if your life is online, you need to say, like the day after your surgery, are you doing, like he's tweeting out everything like compound femur surgery, shatter, patella, fuse the scapula and clavicle, like, I don't know, like maybe just lay off for a little while. I think you need to get on Twitter to tell everybody. I guess you do if you're trying to raise money. Definitely.

Yeah. And the gall of that, dude, that's, that's to me. I'm not a good person, right? But I don't think I have the, the gall and balls to know everyone on the internet knows that you're lying. Everyone on the internet, there's like hundreds of people you owe money who all have Twitter accounts. And to just be like, time to post sympathy from my one arm. Like, what did you think was going to happen, dude? like this is an obvious outcome for you

that's an L that's for sure he's taking an L speaking of veins speaking of veins let's plumb quick that drain vein main vein The dums We have new information now also on the plane crash

KTV has just learned the names of the four pilots who are on board the flight They are captain Sum Teng Wong we to low, Ho Lee Fook, and Bang Ding Owl. The NTSB has confirmed

these are the names of the pilots on board Flight 214 when it crashed. We are working to determine exactly what roles each of them played during the landing on Saturday. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. Hey, do you want to be like Robert Lacey? Well, in the sense that

he is now advertising here with the Dumb Zone? with PlumQuick, you can send an email to sales at dumzone.com. Then there's going to be some other steps after that, but, like, you don't just send the email, then all of a sudden, we're like, hey, you have to meet. We have to vet you. It's kind of like a presidential candidate type thing. And then we're going to send someone in there, like, we're going to comb through your background. We want to know every single thing about you.

and then we're going to send our cleaner in there to be like, all right, now tell me everything. Because your competitors will dig up that stuff on you. And we're just trying to get ahead of it. Let's see. What I wanted to say here was, I don't know if this is real or not, but the biggest surprise for me was like the waitress from Always Sunny. How about what was the biggest surprise for you guys? Oh, okay. I like this bit.

Dean Blandino. How about you? The hat Greg Olson was wearing? Yes, what we are discussing here is the people that attended the Taylor Swift wedding on Friday. Yeah. Overworked Twitter joke of the week on this one? I didn't send it to Brian Curtis yet, but I've read it a few times now. The reason that Taylor Swift got married on July.

3rd. Is this so eventually when they get divorced, she can, you know, have a song called Independence Day. Apparently, she does a lot of songs about her relationships and life. All right. Like, that's her whole bit. Yes. Taylor Swift's brother Austin was her man of honor.

She did not have a maid of honor. Of course, Jason Kelsey was the best man. That's probably the right move. she's nothing if not she reminds she actually does remind me a lot of Hillary like just an operator you know I don't know that she's really got

anything like sauce wise but she seems very calculated and like maneuvering and think about it if she picked a woman there'd be endless debate about why didn't you pick this woman you pick your brother shut up what can he say

that's a cool move she knows what she's doing it's a good thing if you only have one brother too right yeah but even if she had two she could have done both of them you know there's ways around this she's she's smart uh ceremony officiated by an adam sandler i didn't know that i absolutely thought it was fake when i first saw it

but then now i see variety like everybody's reporting it Adam Sandler. Yeah. Officiated the wedding. Wasn't Travis Kelsey? I'm sure he was in Happy Gilmore, too, right? Same circles. Oh, really?

I bet. Yeah. Oh, okay. Let's ask the guy who actually, you watch it too? Yeah. So did he have like Rob Schneider interrupt it? Who can do? Harry.

I profess my love for you, Tateley tries to break it up. I also saw a headline that Travis Kelsey reportedly cried during the wedding vows while Taylor was given the wedding vows. Of course they wrote their own vows. What did his say? Like hers is all eloquent because she's like a songwriter and his is like me like, me like you. Yeah. Me want top off. Yeah, I don't know if this is true.

My wife sent me a whole bunch of reactions to this, but I saw somebody saying that each set of vows were like 20 minutes. Like they were both self-written 20-minute vows, which is just, I mean, I guess if you're... So it's at Madison Square Garden, too? Yeah. Like, you could just rent that out? I mean, dude, you couldn't.

You couldn't. Someone can rent that out. We talked about this whenever her tour was going on, and the physical reactions of fans gathered were causing seismic events. But, you know, and I didn't really live through the peak of Michael Jackson. But in my lifetime, she's the closest thing to like a deity. In the sense of, you know, we've had boy bands, whatever, that are very popular. But in the sense of getting people to act out of their mind and gather together so much so that it creates an earthquake,

that's the sort of thing that six, seven hundred years ago or two thousand years ago, people are like, well, God is here. Because there was an earthquake which you got here. I'm telling you. Which is a big deal in today's world, the lack of a monoculture, right? Completely. Yeah, like it's very, very impressive. So you can get MSG. Yeah.

Land acknowledgement? Oh. Would you guarantee you that or no? Travis Kelsey's not having a land acknowledgement. Are they just acknowledging the Knicks? I was curious about, because I saw a photo posted by one Shane Gillis of him and Kanye, and there was some speculation that that would be

tonight's Kill Tony guest, maybe. I don't know. I don't follow that show closely. Yeah. Yeah. But I am interested in, they're definitely in the same, again,

the same circle. What happened? Go ahead, sir. I just, I would like to know Kanye's first comment on, I halfway expected him to be there. Like, guys known for publicity stunts. It was heard on the, yeah. That's the legendary Kanye interrupting her best new artist thing. Beyonce dropped the best album.

Yeah, yeah. Okay. I made that bitch famous. So what happened to Kanye, he had a concert scheduled for like July 3rd? Fourth. On San Antonio. Oh, was it on the fourth? Mm-hmm.

Because I had this story before we left that a councilwoman got in trouble because the mayor of San Antonio is criticizing the fact that I guess they even have a Kanye concert coming up. Yeah. And then a councilwoman had like accepted a bunch of free tickets to the concert. The mayor was trying to get it canceled. Right. at the time they issued a statement of the press the Misty Spears is the councilwoman was unaware of Yey's anti-Semitic comments

and hateful rhetoric as soon as she became aware of those statements Councilwoman Spears immediately unequivocally, unequivocally condemned them and declined the tickets If you told me a council person was taking tickets under the table and you told me it was Misty Spears, I would believe you. That's a name to get into something. Yeah, she equivocally accepts.

No, I think that the show did happen. Our buddy, Luis from Blanche versus Burnett, saw him in Tampa like a week ago and sent me a video and was like, I think you might be out of town, but if you're not, drive to San Antonio. And it was a video. He was doing like Good Life with graduation era. The video looked amazing.

I was like, oh, God. I'd fall. I mean, whatever. If he came to town, I'll protest to make sure he gets to stay playing. That's how as much of a sucker I am.

As long as he doesn't play anything that sounds like it was made with a trash can. Let's see. They said, the mayor said, the city staff amended the contract to prohibit Yeh from performing his song, Heil Hitler, and selling merchandise featuring swastikas. There's just like, it's the one thing.

The fact that we even had to ask for those things is ludicrous. Let's see. It's only one of five tour dates. Like you said, Tampa had two shows. He's got two coming up in Chicago. What an odd... I know. Is it...

Five shows. I'm going to do five shows, and I'm going to do one of them in San Antonio. On July 4th. On July 4th. There's no rhyme or reason here. Well, if there is, it's just not an obvious normal one, like anything with them. The mayor on Twitter said, I support canceling the Kanye West concert. Military City USA should not host someone with a record of hate speech and anti-Semitic comments.

Who's calling San Antonio Military City USA? They might. Have we ever heard that before? No. I think of it as a big military city. Sure. Do you call it military city? Can't say that I have.

Sounds like a map on Grand Theft Auto. Record of Hadespeats in a city-funded facility like our Alamo Dome, not ever. And certainly not on July 4th, our nation's 250th birthday. Don't desecrate that Alamo Dome like that. It did look awesome, though. This request is not. not a call for censorship. We hold free speech among our most fundamental values, yet not despite our history, but because of it.

Oh, that's from the Jewish Federation of San Antonio. You know what's so funny about that is, as you guys know, I've pointed out before, the Mexican loves metal, like loves it. And when I lived in San Marcos, a lot of times the heavier bands would play San Antonio instead of Austin. We'd go there a lot. And they just mosh, just big old boys, just big, they love it. They love it, folks. And if you were to like compare the lyrics of a lot of those songs, I mean, they're just like, be the most.

Like, you know, like stuff the cat used to listen to that we would print out the lyrics and read. It's like, baby's dying and eating them. like the most insane stuff ever. Oh, really? Yeah. All of this hate directed at Kanye, despite the fact that in January, he took out a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal.

The whole page of apology. Entitled to those I've hurt, he apologized for his past anti-Semitic comments, attributed them to his long battle with mental health. In that fractured state, I gravitated toward the most destructive symbol I could find the swastika. I regret, and I am deeply mortified by my actions in that state. I'm committed to accountability, treatment, and meaningful change. It does not excuse what I did, though. I am not a

Nazi or anti-Semite. I love Jewish people. That seems also like a blanket statement that I'm not sure you can really make any blanket statement like that, but. I think it would have been really funny if he would have tagged it or somehow added in. I actually loved a 21 Jump Street. That was all legit. Jonah Hill, right? Yeah. One of the funniest moments of racism or racism-related things of all time was when Kanye

West just started tweeting, like, just watched Jonah Hill and 21 Jump Street, great actor. Maybe Jewish people aren't all bad. Insane behavior. So you say it's a good show. I'd like to talk to you about one thing and one thing. particular and that is your next vehicle then all right that's what i want you to do is uh i want you go to fair lease dot org and i want you to see what they have to offer you there at fair lease or you can call 972705 4815 and ask for connor or nick uh you know fair lease but if you don't the deal is

they're backed by the credit union to texas that gives them a lot more flexibility it allows them to operate with yeah i'll say it a little more kindness more of a gentler approach if you've got a situation you need to work out credit-wise. They can perhaps work with you on that. They definitely can help you in the commercial game. You've got unlimited mileage when it comes to commercial leases. Travis and the boys over a community have got a whole fleet stocked by Fairlease. Brandon Aubrey is now a Fairleased customer.

Do they have a Toyota Camry's? I think they can get any car you want, Dan. The question would be, you know, what specs you want on that camera? What about the 2026 Ford F-250? It's a truck month or not They've got you covered at Fairlease Yeah, right there Fairlease.org

Fairlease when you don't know what to do about Our stuff is hard You don't need a dealership baby Here's Jake With the Dumb Zone News All right You guys can hear me right What?

Okay It's my hearing-based joke go ahead i'm just a little bit worried with the volume thing that some of this is going to auto play blake so if uh if we have a problem just let me know if troubleshoot it on the fly a former u.s army soldier uh and contractor was found guilty over the weekend out in el paso oh wow those birds really just waited right until my segment didn't they is that loud and annoying we can't hear a thing outside of your voice oh hell yeah yeah oh okay i haven't heard of chicken all day. I've seen one.

Excellent. Excellent. So, former U.S. soldier found guilty over the weekend in El Paso for stealing 200 pallets of MREs. About a million dollars worth of ready to eat meals. Which we were talking about the other day because I believe

Clayton was saying this is all he eats now as he prepares for the end times. Do you currently own any MREs? Does it last a long time too? Oh, yeah. No, I don't own any MREs. But that is in that world, right? Not MREs, but yeah, like the meal buckets,

dehydrated food that you rehydrate. So they're distinctly different things? Yes. Because I'm just trying to figure out what else this guy would do with these. Sell them. If you can sell them. I guess what you're doing is you're selling them from, like you're stealing them maybe from the military

and selling them to civilian contract. But like, who are you going to sell them to if it's not a prepper thing? What's the market? Remember my buddy. My buddy started with those MREs and now he has a mini truck. Oh, yeah. I don't think everyone can trade the MRE for a paper clip and for an F-250. It's a good starting point, though.

It seems like an odd crime to commit to me. A million dollars in MREs. And much like the coach from Belgium, they really like to pour it on at trial, especially if you were in the military. The U.S. attorney says Joseph Davis betrayed the very country. He wants swore to protect in an effort to satisfy his own selfish ambition. He was stealing fake burgers, powdered burgers trying to, you know, I don't know. Exhibit B.

Look at this eagle is crying. Let's see. Man, this is a extremely North Texas story. So godly ISD, Blake. All right. Well aware. What do we got? We know them, guys.

Yeah. This is really hoping this video doesn't play perfect. A former principal and Godley. This is Godley Middle School was arrested last week. He was just hired to be the principal this upcoming

school year. He was arrested for dealing illegal peptides to teachers. A, young bucks coming to town, I'd really like to get the staff. I'll just feed on what happens when

Principal Morado gets down. Everybody gets boners and starts looking good and gets energy under my watch at the middle school, okay? We're going to be working long hours. We're going to be looking good. Everyone gets pepited at all. He's just got everyone in the teacher's workroom. I wonder if he's all jacked like PC principal. He's got to be.

He's got to be. Yeah. Dude, if you're dealing it, like, yeah. Like, I've known those guys before. He said illegal peptides? What does that mean? well i guess i just like if you i don't think you can sell them as an individual i think there's some level of licensing you've got to have right like game day gives me like a prescription that they

are filling through a pharmacy this is like selling a in the pharmacy like mails you know your peptides but this is illegal in the same way that like we we ross's butt injections were illegal like you can get these legally is that bingo for you? for me. I love it. But so, yeah. She's in prison, but I'm sure we could. We should write to her.

That's a great idea. No, but I think this guy should be lauded for just trying to get his team on roids, you know? Like, you want that workplace to be energetic. And if it needs to be a little horny. It's tough to see with those kids, man. seen these seventh graders? For sure. They're a handful.

Now, it's not the best idea to introduce maybe in an environment where sexual situations have argued. He's going to make all the teachers warning. It doesn't make you horny necessarily. It makes you more self-confident. Maybe, I don't know. Yeah, if you're shy, you don't know how to approach that. 13 year old. You want to have self-confidence.

This, by the way, is not in the copy or the spot. This is a different thing. This is parody. We're not in a spot. These are illegal peptides. That's right. Right. Barely illegal.

Dang it. Got a lot of stories to catch up on here. While we were away, this one caught my eye. This is down in Gross Beck. Do you know where that is, Blake? It's not too far from Waco. Looks like it's about half an hour east of Waco. But rural area and a

Texas Department of Criminal Justice bus crashed and overturned. Now nothing exciting happened, but... No prisoners escaped? Seven inmates were injured. 26 inmates were being transported. But it just lets you know, it does happen. And

They had to think As the bus is toppling over They're like It's like a movie It's just slowing down Dude time is slowing down Yeah but they're fired it up You're excited

I know Because you're like This is how the movies This is how guys escape in a movie Yeah but then they got out And saw downtown gross Beck and got back in Yeah well maybe

You're also always attached to another guy Right You can make that work That's gonna hold you back You can make it work I bet you'd like to make that work And don't you have to sing like old Bayou tunes the whole time? Yes.

Swing low. Dude, I saw the other day. You guys may all recall this, but that album won album of the year. Which one? Not. A puddle of mud. No. No.

No, no, no, no. The George Clooney movie, we're about the... Oh, brother, where art thou? Oh. Yes. Dude, the soggy bottom boys weren't bad. Not like an album of the year for an Oscar score. It was the most popular album in America that year.

Or, you know, critically. Ooh, you guys are going to recall. We talked briefly about the high school coach out in Ponder. I think this, yeah, White House. White House. The coach that got injured the scent of the hospital in a shot-putting accident. Oh, yeah. He lived. All right.

Two-month stay in the hospital. Where to get hit with the shot put? Right in the head? Yeah. Skull fracture. Brain swelling. Yeah. That'll probably be a pretty big bill. Does he tell him he's uninsured?

so he can get the cash thing. Yeah, I think so. That's all you have to do, Dan. But I'm seeing here he was running several charity leagues. Oh, no. No, I'm sure there's a go-fund me. That's just, that's a guy. And it's right during his summer vacation anyway.

That sucks. Yeah. You just go right back. Coach, he needs to. Coach linebackers in two a days. Houston police making news as they have hired this is a small

town I've never heard of near Houston but they have hired a 24 year old academy graduate I guess who is the tallest police officer in the history of Texas a former semi-pro basketball player he is

7,000. foot three. Oh, wow. Okay. Okay. Yep. I knew it. I knew that would happen. So that kind of gives away a little bit of it there, too. This guy, I guess, first completed the Academy and scored a 69 last September, or maybe this is an old story. That seems bad. Oh, it's this whole thing's fake. No, it's a real story. It's not a story. It's It's just old. It's just old. It's 69, a bad score? Yeah, he needed to get a 70.

And when he did get a 70, they hired him. But I... There was itching to hire a tall guy. Shack got... Well, it just... That's the thing. Shack was posting about it or something. But it just made me...

I saw it and got horny to tell you the story, which I'm sure we have before. But a certain number of us, if you grew up in DFW, one of our urban legends, was that the world's strongest man Ronnie Coleman was an Arlington police officer, which was true. And there was not a playground kid around that was not fantasizing about the pro. Ronnie Coleman is his name?

Yeah, there was a documentary that he put out. I mean, this is Clayton's sally, but there's a documentary about him that I think he was a big, you know, he made it or was a big part of making it a handful of years ago. And it's super sad. Look at this guy. Because if you, he was still Roy, like, juicing super old. And he lifted in a way that people don't do anymore, you know, like wrecks your body. But he was an active cop.

And it was just like the stuff of legends, you know. Like, what if they hired all of them? Oh, it would be cops. That'd be kick ass. Wouldn't that be better than buying tanks and stuff? I mean, it just made perfect sense, you know. If I saw a cop that looked like that, you'd be like, you'd snap to it. Dude.

My cops looks like, he might as well have been Superman when I was a kid, you know. Is he still an Arlington guy? Yeah. I think so. That's great. Yeah, he hosts a big powerlifting event every year. Eight-time Mr. Olympia champion. Oh, yeah.

Suffers from severe mobility issues in chronic pain caused by decades. of lifting superhuman weights. Dude, it's hard to watch. He's had multiple spinal fusions and hip replacements. And in the documentary I saw with his... Now he's on a segue driving around the ballpark in Arlington. By policing that lake back there. Hey, no, dude, with his busted norm body,

he's still, like, at the gym every day, like, loading plates. It's insane. It's clearly like an addiction. you know but just imagine that guy being a cop when you were like 10 like whoa um speaking of navigate back over to the story where did it go hold on uh i'll let davidton too okay uh so dallas police i'm collecting a bunch of these stories from where we were gone

20 year veteran of the uh department was arrested in a sting uh last monday afternoon he was arrested at a leitinta in about 1.30 in the afternoon. What do you think it was? Prostitution. Sting was conducted by the Special Investigations Division, human trafficking unit to target the commercial sex market.

Now, much like the Frankles, they've got people who used to work for the insurance company, so they know the tricks. The problem for this senior corporal, 20-year veteran of the department is he was a member of that unit. He was a, he was part of the vice unit. And he had, I guess,

you know, like they, a police, I don't know you think. I think it might have been a city council person I saw, speak to David's Centenary. He was really laying it on. Like,

he knew all the tricks of the trade. That's how he used it. But, you know, didn't know well enough. He's been doing this. He just got caught. How many times has he done this?

Oh, it's a lady who runs like a human trafficking nonprofit. Yeah. How many cops have gotten away with literal murder, do you think? Because they know the tricks. More than zero, right? Sure. But, like, yeah, if you wanted to murder your spouse. Like, my wife is putting together a whole book on that, watching all those shows.

but she sees how certain people were caught when they were poisoning their husband's food. Now, that's why you get your own food. Yeah, that's why. Maybe that's what that guy was stealing those MREs for. Because he was worried that his wife was going to poison him. That'd be a good defense. You'd be a great lawyer.

I want us to follow up on this story because you may recall that right before we left, Matt Miller had two arms. and that giraffe was still on the loose in the hill country in Rial County. Do you remember? Yeah. It was, uh, Gracie was the name.

So, uh, they found it. The owner found it. Her, you know, like her. I don't, I don't make my giraffes declare until they're older.

But, uh, so they found it. And, uh, I want to know if they actually paid the reward. Like, I want to track this person down, Blake, news extra. Because all the news says is her owner was offering a $5,000 reward for information.

I mean, how do we know that us doing the story didn't lead to her return? That's true. I just think there's a lot of bullshit in the reward game is what I'm telling you. I think that's an area where they can definitely be like, yeah, yeah, we're doing it. And nobody's checking it. Wasn't the Nancy Guthrie thing like that? Like at first it was like 25,000. And then they...

Then they upped it by like 10 once they'd... Like, I actually really miss her. Yeah, that's a very weird bit too. Like it wasn't worth that before. Can the kidnappers ever get that reward? Is it like a radio station where you can't win if you work there? You remember another story from before we left, very, very wild one down in Katie, where a 76-year-old woman just sitting in her home,

a Tesla flew into her living room. Oh, yeah. They said her life was cut short. Yeah, they said life just cut too soon. Because the Tesla was in thin the herd mode, it said. I don't think that's a profile. So the guy, they've booked the guy, 44-year-old guy, charged with manslaughter. And lying about his Tesla mode?

Yeah, it's what he said. Those Teslas, though, are full of cameras and everything. Like, they, and, like, everything is tracked. You can't lie and say it was in drive itself mode. Like, it'll be like, oh, okay, well, let's check the black box. Like, the whole thing's a black box, right? Yeah, the article says he, had the accelerator down for a few seconds in the neighborhood.

I mean, yeah, it knew everything. Sir, you were in Mad Max mode? Yeah. There's a new documentary about, or relatively new about, like a high school car accident where the girl was trying to kill herself and her boyfriend. And then they like trace all the stuff back together. And they're like, hey, you were, what about this accelerator that was down? People just don't think about stuff like that, you know?

Well, I mean, that's extremely big brother, right? The whole driving a Tesla. Like, if you hate Life 360, that app, you're probably not exposed to that yet, are you? No, but I mean, we have like find my location and all that stuff. Right. But that Life 360, I was being pitched it by a fellow parent as we're having a little meal together. And she was like, oh, yeah, look. could just tell you right here.

And then she was all upset that her son. And then she's like, wait, let me see my husband. Oh, man, he was going 90 on the way to the golf court. Like, she was all mad at him right there. And I saw my future. I'm like, because my wife then, somewhere in that few months vicinity is like, hey, we should get Life 360. It's like, yeah, we're not getting that.

Absolutely not. I don't like that. And the Tesla thing, I don't like the cameras because I don't, the big part of being able to pee in your car is it's privacy. And I don't need a camera. You know, I think there's a lot of reasons why. They could revenge porn you for a higher payment. Yeah, probably so.

Probably so. You want people to see your tiny weiner? If Matt Miller had a Tesla, he would also probably still have two arms, right? There's your news. The Gumstone News, like and subscribe. Happy birthday. Thank you. I don't think I like you firing the sounder from out there.

Done. From thousands of miles away. I have a, before we do birthdays, because I don't want to save this follow up Thursday, on players switching national teams in the World Cup, you can only do it if you played for the youth team. so they have an under 21 under 17 team so the guy that I was saying just showed up and is playing for the seat like it was just playing for another team three weeks ago it was at least like the level below I don't know if that helps at all but it's to me it's unsettling just to be able to play for two countries that's like the only part of it that bothers me it's not the native born thing Belgium is 25 of 20 25 of 26 of their players were born in belgium the US is 23 The Royal Cup thing I forgot to mention today is, like, did you see that Dallas police getting in the face of the Egypt coach?

Bro. Bad, bad, bad look. Don't like it. No context, really, but it doesn't look good. Guys lucky, he didn't get shot, to be honest with you. Who, the Egypt coach? Yeah, dude, American citizen of, like, really any race puts their hands on a police officer at that range. And I feel like he's going to do a lot more.

force than he did to that guy. Viewer male birthdays. We have a few of them today because of the week off. So we start with dear Uber, group and fear of the ovaries and Jake. Today is the birthday of Austin D.F. Dr. Bill. Some of these, these are all from last, the week that we missed until we get to the last two here. Well, we're not missing Dr. Bill. You're on vacation, so my streak of missing his birthday shout-offs can continue. His leaders are Lance Rensel and George Brett's Belagio Pants.

In honor of Dan's Grego mustache era, will you do me a favor and remind Dr. Bill that he's not that great? I also nominate him for Donkey of the Day from lawyer Cody. Two of the top guys. Quick update. I've almost finished the Lance Rensal book. I'm not positive that it's as good for a segment. it's not funny. It's, uh, like, awesome. It's incredible. I don't know how I was to tell you. Like, it's a dude who's writing in like therapy terms that did not exist when you wrote this book.

Well, you could still- Like, I thought he was a big, a big, like sex addict and it was going to be like, it's, it's like a psychology book. It's interesting, but it's not as funny as I thought it was going to be when I bought it. It's like, oh, he showed his wiener to some girls. Well, we still need a full report. I got you. It's just, it's heavy. Dear Uber Mench of the Stench Trench, today is my Lou Gehrig birthday. The age he was when he died,

I mean, I'm not four years old. What a crazy coincidence that he got Lou Gehrig's disease. Ha, ha. Anyway, my leaders are Air Bud Dwyer, Johnny Carson's philosophy on buffets versus ham sandwiches. The Dumb Zone discovering a few weeks ago, in real time that molester is apparently kind of an anchor word. You guys are the beautiful soundtrack of my everyday mundane life.

Stay hard punt on second down or something from Doyle in Nashville. Dear Uncle British Cigarette, Naysayer, McNaysayer of Lake Erie. Today is my Chris Humphrey's birthday. Damn. My heroes are umbrellas. They're elite. I'd buy a DZ umby if they existed. His leader is also when Blake exclaimed,

it's my birthday I get to choose. The a cappella Brandon Aubrey song is my favorite song of all time, but I just realized that it's the same tune as the bluey theme song. I can't believe, uh, do you guys agree with that or no? It's close, but I don't idea it is the same. But maybe it is.

YouTube is not the same From the pitch to the gridiron He's number one you know 60 plus is nothing It's a Brandon Hobre show Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na What do you guys say? No it's it's a similar type

punctuation No I think so. I would, if I knew that little about music, would not email people and talk to this. That's like a hard. Well, that's from Tyson, day three, number 2084, and he says, P.S. technically, Hillary didn't lose. Where are we? Dear faithful leaders.

My husband's birthday just passed on Friday, June 26. I forgot to send a birthday request. He's been patiently waiting for years to hear. his name announced during your show. I'd still like to make the effort. Rowan has been a P1 listener on the ticket, then came the day that Dan and Jake left,

started on podcast, now we are dedicated dumb zone. Let's see. He works at Martin House Brewing Company. He loves Magic the Gathering, sports and the dumb zone. Nice. Please help my husband's dream come true by giving him a shout-out.

He has the biggest and kindest heart from Teigen Kratz. All right. Rowan. Dear Dan Mickendowed. What's up, you crazy fuckers? All right, that's for you, Henry. Today is my Ron Tugnut birthday. I'm having to write in myself as I know my family won't do it.

Pause for sympathy. Oh, now he points out, I didn't get this. ready. I'll save this for a viewer mail, but he says, listen to the 62026 weekly recap. Henry not only starts off by saying he's hung over, but implies he's done this so many times that the listeners are conditioned to know it means he will talk less. 5-926 intro is also worth listening to. People are going back and hearing, listening to Henry's intros now and just seeing which ones are good. We love that.

But again, you know, you hear this about like Herman Melville or whatever, right? Like, he died not knowing that Moby Dick was a classic. Right. He thought it was a failure. Right. And Henry's getting to live through people discovering the classics. I'm trying to be a top five Ethan for the show. Hard to compete with Strauss.

Dear Vagged Radio, July 5th is my friend Kevin Albert's Elijah Clark birthday. His leaders are young Blake saying big words and golden showers. Let's hope he was woken up in that special way with a good moosing.

Also, movie trope, I'm sure you all have. Anytime in a car chase or car race scene, when someone catches up to the other one, they look surprised. And then they suddenly have another gear. And they pull away. Like they've had it the whole time. That's from Jared Walsh. How did you catch me? Two more, I have Deer Smasher of the Sardine Smelling Slit.

Today is my friend Dave Lawrence. Dave's Lawrence Taylor birthday. His leaders were crazy MFer intern Henry in his harsh intros to the weekly wrap-up until he became a puss and started editing. Yep. Damn. Wow. His birthday wish is to ride in the backseat of Blake's car while sitting next to a gay homeless guy. Boat sailed on that one.

I'd also like to talk movie tropes. Since you're a Superman fan, reference the first Superman movie. Lois flies with Superman, leaving Clark waiting for Lois. When she returns, she unlocks five locks on her front door. Let's Clark in. Then she leaves without locking one of the locks. Missed you guys last week. And then finally, dear Commissioner Clit,

please give a big DZ birthday shout out to our little brother Charlie White's his leaders are Billy Strings chappy and his roadside kettlebell workouts and Blake less shodio more Luca trade talk will never be over that's from Michael and Sammy whites but I think it's pronounced weights right but if I change now you know Game Day Men's Health presents on this day in history. Oops. Sorry. Also, I did want to mention a...

God damn it. What am I doing here? Sorry, boys. Yeah, we do need to mention Game Day Men's Health. Gameday.com. The real peptides. The real peptides. The good peptides are 10% off.

10% off TRT for life. Sorry. Everything there. Everything you do at Game Day is a dumb zone listener will be 10% off. You can start by getting your levels checked if you'd like, get your testosterone levels checked. Maybe that's the solution for you. I go once a week, get the levels done, or excuse me, get the T shot. You could do it at home if you'd like.

Peptides. They've got peptides for literally anything. If you'd like to be more tan, they've got one for that. For real? Yes, I've got. your skin, all sorts of different, you know, this is the future, Dan. For me, I can't stop injuring myself. And the one that I take is for, you know, soft tissue muscle recovery.

And after hearing the testimonials from Travis, who looks great, is moving great, I got on it and I feel great. So 12 area locations, Dan, game day.com, hit them up. Just walk in there and tell them, hey, make me. feel better and they'll do it. Maybe they'll speak with the British accent. Maybe Dave and Eric out at the grapevine location. Although Ty's the big guy there, too. Tie is your man out there.

Ty is one of the hottest men I've ever seen in my life. Kristen and Allen over at the Las Calinas location. So we highlight a couple of those. So it's Monday, July 6th is today. On this day in 1944, 168 people died. This story says, an estimated 168 people died. I don't think that's how you estimate something.

I feel like you need something more round there. In a fire that broke out during a performance in the main tent of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus in Connecticut. That's 1948. So they certainly went out of business rate. Oh, no. They kept rolling. Everything was fine.

On this day in 1960, a lady named Dr. Barbara Moore completed her walk from Los Angeles to New York, to New York City. So you're like, I got to just look into Barbara Moore. Let's see what this bit is. Says here she was attempting to gain celebrity status for long distance walking and promotion of her question. questionable health fads. Okay. Barbara Moore was a vegetarian. Okay.

And a breatherian. What? She believed it was possible for people to survive without food. Yes. She walked with only nuts, honey, raw fruit, and vegetable juice for nourishment. Okay. Already out. Already out.

Commit to the bit. She held that people could live to be 200 years old if you abstain from smoking, drinking alcohol, and sex. So don't have fun. She claimed she had cured herself of leukemia by way of a special diet. Okay. I, yeah. She died in a London hospital in 1977, bankrupt and near starvation because of a. of her refusal to eat.

Yeah. We call that survival of the fittest. That's incredible. Yeah. That's incredible. And she thought, what if I walk a long way? I mean, it did get her this publicity at the very least. I'm just upset.

She turned herself, what, a breathe-only arian? What is it? A breathe-Aryan, yeah, breath-aryan, maybe. Who knows? It's hard to say. Now, the mating thing, I actually have, there's science. on like there's types of insects in controlled environments. I guess they observe it in controlled environments.

If they don't mate, they live longer. So like there is something about mating that triggers your biological like clock to die. It's in in some way that like now it's time to take care of and slow down. And so the idea is that there are some species maybe, I don't know, 200 seems ambitious, but pull out is what I'm saying. We'll do. Thank you, Robert. On this day in 2013, well, not this day.

Let's take you to tomorrow in 2013. This aired on a TV station in San Francisco. Tonight we want to take a moment and say that we are sorry. Earlier today, during our new news guests, we misidentified the pilots and the Aschiana Airlines crash. We made several mistakes. when we received this information. First of all, we never read the names out loud, phonetically sounding them out.

Then during our phone call to the NTSB, where the person confirmed the spellings of the names, we never asked that person to give us their position within the agency. We heard this person verify the information without questioning who they were, and then we rushed the names onto our new newscast. Wow, you know what? I just saw that newscast, and I'm like, you just apologize for what? let me go back and see the new newscast. I actually recorded it. We have new information now also on the plane crash. KTV has just learned the names of the four pilots who are on board the flight.

They are Captain Sum Ting Wong, Wee Too Low, Ho Lee Fuke, and Bang Ding Owl. The NTSB has confirmed these are the names of the pilots on board flight 214 when it crashed. We are working to determine exactly what roles each of them played during the landing on Saturday. Whoever the guy is that's posed as, like, that's his... Mona Lisa. Yes, it's the greatest moment of his life. Is there any way like we can find that person now? No way.

No way. It's still probably a felony. But that guy's buddies, he's exempt from any. fantasy punishment ever. That's just, I've noticed something new every time, you know? First of all, you could have asked the guy position, you don't think this fucking assassin

had a position ready. If you would have asked him, he would have had one, that wouldn't have done it, my friend. But apparently they crowned the first guy captain. Yeah, we've got to start there. But the crazy thing is, after she reads it, we've all done

this, but like halfway through you realize it, she proceeds with the rest of that report. Got to keep going. Run here. About the death of holy food. On this day in 2016, the location-based mobile game, Pokemon Go made its debut in the U.S. It was all...

Our workplace got bit hard. Well, we did that story a few months ago. Yeah, like CIA thing. All an AI thing. No, it was a lot. like DoorDash orders or something like that for their little robots to deliver food.

Mapping? Yep. And on this day in 2018, a former Thai Navy SEAL died while trying to navigate his way through a flooded cave passageway to deliver supplies to 12 schoolboys and their soccer coach who have been trapped for nearly two weeks. Nobody thought, like, that's really weird

too, right? Just 12 boys in their coach just going in the cave. Here they are. But I know we're already way late. What if Jake and his, his soccer team were in a cave? And they're like, oh, that seems normal. You can, and listen, that's not the guy that Elon Musk called a pedophile in this story.

It was a different guy who tried to build a ship to go save him. And by the way, if we started this show by learning that the rest of the world has April Fool's, I don't know that everyone needs to try to have Navy SEALs. Not every team has an ace. I feel like maybe you leave that for us. The Thailand Navy SEALs, okay. All right, guys. That's cute.

July 6th, this day in Dumb Zone history. Only one show on this day. And we were doing a follow-up on Yankee Doodle Dandy. And we were saying, like, why did he sing stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni? Apparently back in the day, macaroni just meant cool. Mac Mac Mac like called it kickass yeah that looks there all right so yeah yeah back other birthdays today Alvin Harper 59 and Jay Crowder 36 former Mav you don't need a Jay Crowder you need a Jay Crowder type shut up Titus and Taint Zion

He's 72. The 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Giazzo. That's his name, the Dalai Lama's name, is 91, long off the T, the llama. But did you know the Dalai Lama was like the Pope?

Like it was a position that's passed down? Uh-uh. Isn't it by birth too? The Pope is a thing where they're like, they get you when you're an old. But they have to like, they get a bird. it flies somewhere and it does something and they're like, oh, the bird is outside that window.

All right, whatever baby's in there. And they're like, and then it becomes that, like, that's how they got this guy. And he became the Dalai Lama. Like he didn't have like a phase where he was holding up liquor stores and doing cocaine or anything. Like, he was just the Lama the whole time. They don't even make you play in college. It's just straight to the pros. I'll be interesting to see how that, like, 90,

that was a different day when they did that. Can you come up with a llama and make him just be the llama in this day and age? Yeah, he puts out a mix tape. He's like, what? I don't get to bang a lot of ladies? No, no, no, you can't because you're the llama. And he's like, ah. He's going by young llama.

It's going to be awesome. Lil Yama, little llama. Little llama. Little llama. A little lava. Rift. That's so good. Burt Ward.

Only one made the list. Damn. Tough break. Dumb's on birthday today is Larsa Pippen is 52. I believe who is she with now? A much younger person, right? Yeah. Didn't she have relations with Michael Jordan's son?

That's what it is. She was Scotty Pippen's ex-wife. supposedly was dating Michael Jordan's son. Can you imagine that? That relationship ended in 2024. If you're Scotty Piffin, like, I've been in this guy's shadow. Like, it just doesn't escape me. Now with Jeff Kobe.

He's got to love LeBron, right? You would definitely get him in a LeBron versus Jordan debate. He'll take LeBron. I think I've heard him say that. Born on this day now dead, famous Dallas stripper candy bar. Mike Ryan, are you? didn't know who she was. Vince McMahon Sr.

Darrell Royal. Last all-white national championship team? Yeah. No one's ever like, oh, wow. Kind of said that funny. White National Championship team. Yeah, a little pause there. But no one ever celebrates him,

like they say he's a racist, and he probably is. And same with, like, the Rupp Arena, right? But you have to say they were... They were playing on hard mode. Yeah, they were like... Nancy Reagan, born in the stay now dead. Goat. Third goat.

And Ned Beatty. Dead in this day still dead. Charlie Daniels, who had a band, James Kahn, and died on this day one year ago today. Gordon Jago. The great George, Gordon Jago. And that's what happened. On this day in history. Indeed it did. Jake was Anthony Henry.

Anthony Henry. Wow. Those guys don't live here anymore on this new era defense. Oh, yeah? Yeah. We do have closing remarks now. And they're right here in our studio. We have Robert Lacey,

owner of a company, owner of a couple companies. Actually, Robert first emailed us and he said, hey, I'd like to promote my, I have a business called Shredder Ski School. Right? Yep. So we have an indoor ski school in Richardson. And that is, what, just for kids only? So, yeah, indoor skiing and snowboarding for all ages. it's more geared towards kids or just beginners.

But we, I mean, we do a lot of adult private lessons as well. What about Blake's grandpa? Would you get him in there? What's the oldest you've had? I did a 76-year-old woman. Pretty scary because she was pretty large. So I was, like, made sure she signed the waiver. Okay.

That was, like, that was the oldest that I've, yeah. that I've taught there. No, when we met Robert, this is, you know, blisters to this show will know that I claim to have really had the idea for most modern tech, not credited for it. But when he explained the concept of the business to me, I'm like, man, I've been waiting for this my whole life. We would usually go to New Mexico once a year,

maybe sometimes twice here, maybe we'd skip a year. But it's not enough to really get the feel for it. It's enough to be fine, but you're like, God, if I could just do this at home occasionally, like, you could get so much more enjoyment out of it so that you're not paying for lessons when you go to the mountain, which are insane once you get there price what. Yeah. You're not wasting your rental time and you're not falling down the mountain for like one of your $300 a lift ticket days. Exactly. It's just it's an actual need that ends up saving you money and headache on the other end of it. Like, I've caught the bad end of this my whole life.

And so the fact that it, when you mentioned it, I'm like, man, this is, this is really, really smart. Yeah. I mean, it's surprising that, I mean, hadn't been done yet because it's definitely, there's a huge demand. I mean, we have, in the peak season, we have weightless. But like you said, I mean, for the, I mean, for children or just beginner adults, like, if you're going to the mountain, it's cold, you know, windy, you got all this gear on and

everything. Then you're trying to learn to ski or, you know, and you're. got your parents yelling at you. And so it's just, it makes it so much easier for the kids. I mean, I get parents sending me videos all the time with their kids that did a, you know, a lesson with us. And they're like doing great going down the bunny hill on their own. And if you have, I mean, once we get kids a little older, they're a little more, you know,

athletic. I mean, we can, I've had it's eight-year-olds, you know, 10-year-olds that have never skied. They'll come and do like a few private lessons and they're like, they're out doing green trails right away. So it's, yeah, it's really, I mean, it's, it really works. It's really cool. So it's been fun. And we're, you know, we're looking to expand that as well, opening in Houston and, and opening on, you know, Fort Worth as well side of the DFW.

So there's just, why not learn here indoors comfortable before taking your children to the mountain? And yeah, so Robert hit us up and then we ended up talking to him on the phone. He's like, yeah, we want to do like maybe a remote or something towards the fall. And maybe that'd be a fun bit like to do on the air. And you can do stuff. You guys can get up there or bring your kids and stuff. It's like, all right. Well, we'll talk.

Let's talk soon and we'll schedule this thing. So then we talk soon. He's like, oh, yeah, I also have this giant plumbing company. Could I advertise that? And we're like, wait, that what do you? So you own this as well? Yes. It feels like the ski place is like your passion.

Yeah. Yeah, well, I mean, and plumbing, actually. I love both. But yeah, the skiing was more of a, I grew up in Vermont. I grew up, I started skiing at a very young age, and I used to teach, like, teach kids ski. And on the mountain, we were, I was able to teach kids get a free seasons pass. So I would do that.

How old were you when you were doing that? So I was in when, so I was in sixth grade, we were able to, we would leave school early on Fridays and I would go teach like the first graders. Oh, okay. I thought you meant like as a. because you know them 20-some guys that are probably nailing your wife when you go out to seasonals.

Yeah. Yeah. Those guys are awesome. Yeah. So no, no, I was just doing it. Like,

that was kind of my intro to it. And then I worked on the ski mountains. Um, but then once I moved here, I was like, man, this, like,

there's a demand. We need to, we need to bring this to Dallas. Um, so. And then there's always a demand for plumbing, right? And that was kind of the, yeah, so plumbing was another,

passion, I guess. But more of a, it was known that plumbing's, you know, extremely necessary in our world. And so I was like plumbing is a great business. Yeah. I mean, and then all the world is plumbing is very important. I was like, that's a, my dad was a contractor growing up. So I was, I was, I was, I was just, always thought plumbing was like a really cool trade. And so, yeah, we got, uh, purchased this plumbing business. Um, business has been, uh, the plumbing business has been around since 1987. So have a long history, taking care of customers. So yeah, both businesses have been, you know, unique in their ways, but they're both

awesome. So it's been a lot of fun. How long have you lived in DFW? Moved 2020 here. Oh, okay. About, was that five, six years now? Pre-COVID or? I moved here right.

I moved here in like February of 2020. So it was... Okay, it wasn't a reaction to it. Like, I want to be able to go to restaurants. Let's go to what state. We'll let me do that. I want to go to opening day. Yeah, we just moved here and then, like, couldn't do anything.

So that was kind of fun. And we moved here in a studio apartment, me and my wife, thinking that it was kind of temporary. And then we both at that time worked from home. So we're in this one little studio trying to work from home. And you stayed married? Yeah, yeah. So that's still together.

So that's obviously a testament of that. What doesn't kill us, Robert? Yes, exactly. What was that one tweet we used to look at? They called, they had to blame stuff on someone else. Cheryl. Cheryl, because it's just so cramped in here with just me and my husband. So we've started blaming.

Gosh, Cheryl did do the dishes again. Can you believe that? Everyone just were, it's, we're excused for those few years of bad jokes. Everyone gets to wipe. Not all of us for making those kinds of jokes or blaming the HR department for pooping in the house. Anything else that you want to offer, Robert? Yeah, it's, you're closing your remarks here. Yeah.

So, I mean, as we kind of discussed earlier, we do have the home membership plan for the plumbing business. It's $1.99 for the year. and that includes, like I said, the water heater flush, sewer line, sewer camera, which I was talking to you about, Dan, how that's kind of super critical. Being able to go take a camera down into your sewer line, that's how you're really going to see if you have an issue. Like, usually your sewer line's not backing up just because you threw a few wet wipes down there. It's probably got a, something's grabbing those and catching them.

So sewer camera is an awesome tool. We're pretty much using that on any of our sewer clean. we're doing. So yeah, that's a, I mean, definitely we want to be the plumber for all of Dumbzone fans. So, you know, you want to have a, what is the saying? You don't want to have to look for a plumber when you have a plumbing emergency. You wouldn't already know who to call. Okay.

So we're going to be the plumbers to call for that. And Shredder, yeah, Shredder Ski School. Definitely, we are doing summer camps now as well. So if you're wanting to get your kids into awesome summer camp, they're going to, they're going to be doing skiing, snowboarding, sledding at the bounce house. But then if you're wanting to get them ready for ski season, you know, shredderski.com, we will be doing our fall and winter sessions, you know, and getting them ready for the ski season. Can I get you guys set up for the, what is it called the membership?

Yes. Do I do that on the website or? Can I just text you? You would just text me. Yeah, I know you. Because we do have to, yeah, we have to sign you up. Okay. Yep.

But you can sign up on the website or call whatever the number is on the website. Exactly. Okay. Because I got to get you guys out there now. Yeah. I got, uh, we got things happening. And say the Joe Rogan podcast sent you. Yeah.

But yeah, we'll definitely set that up, okay? All right. Thank you. Anyone else? Jake. Henry? All good? Thanks for having me, boys.

It's good to talk to you. Go, uh, legally kill a chicken. All right. Adios. We gotta go before this becomes a zoo. See you guys for drinks later. Thank you for watching my video. Subscribe and type for my name if you want to watch more of my video.
