Hello! I'm professional broadcaster Dan McDowell, letting you know that you are about to hear one of our free podcasts. But if you'd like to subscribe at DumbZone.com, you'll get four shows per week, plus the weekend wrap-up and any bonus sodes like our Business Wednesday interviews. So, if you forgot how to use the 15-second rewind, that's DumbZone.com to subscribe. That's dumbzone.com to subscribe. Now on to today's program. The Dumb Zone. Yep, indeed, McAroo. I'd like to tell you about Fair Lease and why Fair Lease is different. Fair Lease is not one of these national massive faceless car companies. They are Texas-owned, Texas-strong, backed by the credit union

of Texas. They're fair as well, Dan. It's right there in the name. You can do all of this with Fair Lease, from wherever you'd like. Do all of what? You didn't say anything. Leasing a vehicle fairly. You'll get your trade-in value.

You'll get your estimate there. They can get you financing right over your phone. They will deliver the vehicle right to, you can say your doorstep, but that would be... They'd ruin your lawn and... Super annoying and unfair. But they'll do that. If that's what you want.

They'll do what you want. That's right. They'll say what they want. You can sell your car, get paid fast, and you can get your next car at fairlease.org. Click request a quote, you'll see a thing that says, how'd you hear about us? And you could be a jerk and say like,

I don't know, Joe Rogan, but we'd select the dumb zone. And that'll let them know you heard about it here at fairlease.org. The proceeding and the following content are brought to you by No Puppet Productions and the Dumb Zone. I had told my wife I was going to Joe's to hang out with Sven.

She texted me while I was there and said's to hang out with Sven. She texted me while I was there and said, tell Joe and Sven I said hi and get the scoop on Sven and Ethan. Like, hey how are your kids? What do they do? And I just texted back, you know I won't do any of that. Because I won't! I know. At the end she knows. Did you have... you are the king of did you have to do that? To me, like you've said that to me so many times. Why did you need to report? All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.

All right, all right, all right, all right. Like riding a bike, huh? Let's do that live spot. Right back to work. Stuffed I was doing them at home all week, bud. Back to the grind with a weight vest on. That's right. We are live to tape.

From our downtown Dallas game day men's health studios. Andrew, we fill this up with water. I forgot. That's what you wanted him to do. Yeah. You should use your new Whataburger mug. That's in fact, so first off I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jake Koeb. I'm Blake Jones. We have Clayton Kilbrough. Kill, Kill. CK is here. Clayton CK. We have an intern Henry and we need to just let you know that what we are most thinking about

right now is tomorrow's program where we will be Frisco? Indeed. Do we call it Frisco? El Dorado on the tollway. Whataburger. You, it used to be a field. Oh my goodness, it might have been a field like two weeks ago. Yeah, that field is not far in the rear view. But now, burgers. We might be surrounded by fields. So the big deal out there is a Wadaburger slash Dumb Zone car tray.

It's on the floor behind you, Jake. Oh, right on, yeah. You got the car tray? Yeah you'll see the dumb zone logo and water burger orange and the water burger 75th anniversary logo. Says here collectible. Yeah. So I don't know like you just have one and you've collected it. So I guess everything is a collectible. No no no no anything with a limited amount of inventory is a collectible. Water, you know, maybe Blake's Arrowhead Water collectible, but if they limit the production... Okay, so this Water Burger mug that I have in that I could put my tiny TV in or whatever? Mm-hmm. Not a collectible because anybody can go to their website and get this. Walla Great Cup, not a collectible.

Not a collectible. This hat that Clayton bought over the weekend, or whenever, and had it delivered, he didn't like the hat depth with his head, so he gave it to me. I respect that. What? I'm like, what are you saying? Head size awareness is a skill.

But it's adjustable. I think it's perfect. This is a great hat. It's a Whataburger hat, of course. Not a collectible though. I don't think so. You can collect it, but so can everybody in the entire world.

But sometimes Whataburger does these limited run type things as well. I have a feeling they'll be making, you should have stuck with the Yeti. The Yeti forever. But the point is, the first 75 people will get a tray and they say they might have more, but really we're focused on getting to 75 here.

I don't think we're gonna ask anything of you in July. Yeah, they started asking for the whole month. But this morning they were like, oh yeah, I mean obviously you guys will have the 75, so they're just making sure there's more there. And I'm like, yeah. Yeah, please come out. That's a lot of people.

There's four or five. And we want to give them only to people that are listeners. And we did a workaround because we decided people are going to see these car trays and they're going to think, that's cool. I want one too. I don't know who those two idiots are. Four idiots, sorry, guys. So we're going to make them sign up, like be a podcast subscriber. Not paid. At least a free subscriber. You paid. At least a free subscriber.

You've got a like and subscribe. Yeah. Either paid or YouTube and podcast. There you go. We'll give it that. Anyway, Whataburger tomorrow. We're gonna start giving them... 1130 is when we start. Yes. That's a big deal. 1130, the tollway in El Dorado. Yes, it is a big deal. 1130 the tollway in Eldorado. Yes it is a big deal and yeah so right now we've got a sit-in and our crew. TC will be there. I don't know if we count towards the balance but what I want to know is will Angelo be there? Because it's been a while since we've had an update. I don't know if now's the time for the full update. But I feel like we're employing him.

There's several sitcom episodes about this, right? Like hiring homeless people to fulfill your professional obligation. Like we may be in that spot. The train doesn't run to Frisco. I don't think Angela will be there. You haven't hooked him up with Elite Rides yet? Like I thought-

Why stop there? Hit up Fairlease.org. Yeah, he has Fairlease car. Trying to dial him back a little bit. Yes, Angelo, the homeless guy that Blake gave a Venmo gift card to, and it's the worst decision you've ever made in your life, correct?

Yeah, it grows worse with passing day. So I was, you know, I vacationed, as many people will do, on the North Coast. Cleveland, Ohio is where I went last week. Straight up Joe Kim Noah. Anybody say they're going on vacation to Cleveland? Yeah. But all my buddies just want to talk about Angelo.

Of course they do. Like they can't believe it, they love it, they love the... Is that your weekend check or do you want to just at least tell us Angelo? Yeah, I can update you on Angelo. So last we left, he had lost the card, which was crazy to me, because he doesn't have a lot.

And what brings him happiness, I thought he would kinda hang onto that, you know? Yeah! Yeah, you're not gonna lose, I don't know, man. You would think, but I suppose if you do, if you are a person who does find yourself homeless, maybe you're not that.

Yeah, squared away. Yeah. And no one used it, so it wasn't stolen or anything. It is, I just, I think of myself as, in defense of people being like, you probably lose stuff all the time because you're a drunk. And I'm like, I was losing,

I lost my Adidas tracksuit that meant the world to me when I was in fifth grade. Some people are just like that. And maybe we end up homeless more often, that's fair. But I don't think it's because he doesn't appreciate the card. Well, because he lost the card, he then just started asking me to just buy him food.

Yeah, he was going all the cart at this point, it seemed. Yeah, which, it's easy now. I mean, I could just tell, he tells me where he is. I can place it. I tell him the order number. It's really easy, unfortunately. But then we hit a new level because as our relationship has grown,

he's gotten more and more entitled. Like he'll just say like, hey, can you buy me this, this, and this, and this? It's more food for three people. It costs way more than I spend on food. But that's just what he comes to expect from me. He'll send you a text like, I'm at McDonald's now. Buy this.

His McDonald's order is 20 nuggets and two apple pies and a large spread. You've already given him a gift card with money. Yeah. But he lost it. Oh, he'll him a gift card with money. Yeah. But he'll roll through that. Oh, he'll lose it or roll through the whole thing. And then send you a text like, hey, just open your app. Magically pay for this meal that I've told these friends of mine that I've got this benefactor.

That was one thing I was thinking about over the break, is just how hot on the block he is. He's just dumb and dumber, walking around with a 20-piece. Is he pulling wool? Because of what you... He might be, dude. I don't know.

He might be. I hope. I feel like a 10-piece could get you a handy in the worst of handy markets. I feel like, but I was just gonna point out, this is a good thing, because as we learned as Blake was screenshotting for us, and as the listener may know,

Blake knows a lot of deals. So his homeless money is going further than your homeless money would go. And you're accumulating points. Yes. So it will help you. Yeah, he's not mad at his free. It's coming back to me a little bit.

His free entree. I got a lot of points at Water Burger right now. But yeah, I told you guys that he's very specific in what he wants, but I was gonna switch him to whatever deals, and luckily there was a McNuggets deal that we hopped on. You know what's so funny about this? So Blake texts the show, and he's like,

here's what Angelo's doing, and within an instant, Clayton was like, dude, it's Friday, they got a 20 piece for X, or whatever, like the two of them stocked in Maloning the fast food deals that Dan and I just watched was great. It's like I already did it, dude. Sent him a screenshot. Yeah. So he reached a new level on Saturday

because he texted me that he would like his water burger delivered. The audacity. He texted me that he could not leave his. Does he have an address? Couldn't leave his motel. It's an extended stay motel. And he couldn't leave because it was raining.

Oh no. So he asked me to get Water Burger delivered to his motel room because it was raining. Oh, I'm sorry, but if you're unhoused, you have to get wet. Did you do it? No, I drew the line there. Now I didn't tell him the truth, I didn't say no, but I said, I can't today.

Dude, this is so, I try to resist being like Greggo wussification of America, and like I was talking to our buddies, Brad and Rylan, who do a dad podcast this weekend, and we were just discussing like, it's just that nobody's afraid of their elders anymore, and you just have to adjust to it. I don't know how old Angelo is,

but like, the fact that hobos are becoming soft might mean we're cooked as a country. You think Chinese hobos need their food delivered? No, there's no way. But not walk in the rain to get his food. Yeah, what did he say? He just said okay. He probably knew he was getting into the danger zone

there a little bit. So I met up with him this morning to give him his new card. Okay, at the station or where do you guys run? Yeah, over here at Ackard. Okay. And. How's he look? He looks.

Fat. He looks like he's gained a lot of weight. No, he looks fine. He looks how he did. He was able to do that? It was drizzling this morning. I know, he somehow made it out. Yeah.

But he's, I've discovered that I can't talk to him rationally. I have to talk to him like my three-year-old. Yeah. But that comes with some positives because I told him, like I explained to the show, I'm not doing the $25 a week anymore. It's too much communication, it's too much reloading, it's when will the money hit?

So I told him, hey, this card's a little different. It's the same exact card. This card will have $100 a month. And he lit up. Like, oh, I can't believe it. And I said, well. Hold on a second. It's the same amount of money.

No, it's actually not, Angela. Let's do the month. Exactly, yeah. Dan gets mad when I say 4.3 weeks that I'm going to fuck up. I said, it's not any more money, okay. You're getting an annual, bud. I'll reload it August 1st with another 100.

It's the same amount of money. And I told him, you need to make this go a little further than you have. Dude, he's gonna be done with it in a week. Well, okay. We'll see. You're going to then reload it, I know you. You possibly should have suggested,

would it kill you to carry receipts? Or a pen and a pencil? You have to just, to keep track of how much you can. You have to say, I will not respond to you. I might text him that and just be like, hey dude, one way to make this easy, just keep track of it, you know, cause he can't log on and look at the balance,

but I bet he can add. Dude, he's got a calculator app, he can just put a hundred in there and then subtract each time he gets a purchase., he's got a calculator app. He can just put 100 in there and subtract each time he gets a purchase. He's on his fourth phone number. Well, since you've known him. Yeah.

Him and Trayvon Diggs. Does text have an automatic answer thing, like email that says, I'm out of town? I believe you can do that. I'll be back. So like every time he texts you, if it gives the automatic, I will, I am not available, I will be available August 1st.

And then he's just, he's living the way he lived before he met you. Yeah. So you're not hurting. So I explained all that. I said, why don't you make it go a little further? I want you to, you know, do well. And he let me into, he's got some other friends.

Dude, you're a sugar daddy on a roster? Hold on. His other friends are Jordan and Grayson, who will buy him food. I'm not his only benefactor. That is so tough. He's got two others. And why did he need to tell you about them?

But I really, I guess I know why. It's just like a lady. Like yeah, I mean, we're hanging out. I got other guys or whatever. Yeah, he said, he kinda just said like, oh, I'd love you to meet them. Dude, he's gonna cut you. Great, great.

But I was a little floored that you have other money coming in. Yeah, I wonder if they know about you. I know. Did he tell you what their arrangement is or did he kind of leave it vague? It seems like Grayson will just meet up with him and buy him lunch and eat with him and talk to him,

which is more than I'm willing to do. But, yeah. You know, uh. You'll see how the 100 goes. I will tell you that, you know, we've all seen the movies. We've seen Boogie Nights, and I've been to rehab where they make you watch videos

and stuff. Like, Grazer might not just be talking to him. I'm just saying, like, Yeah. There is a survival that has to take place on the streets. Well, we'll see how it goes. I'm interested to see his first purchase. It hasn't happened yet?

Not yet. That's a really good start. You just gave it to him this morning? Yeah, but the fact that one minute has passed is... He's like, I gotta make this last till August 1st. There's no way he's thinking in his head, I gotta make this last till August 1st. He knows I got this idiot that'll... Yeah.

Can we... He told me it was $25 a week and now it's been... Will you swear to us that we can at least get through one month without you breaking? That you won't put any money in until August 7th? Let's do a pool on when this hundred dollars runs out. Well, yeah, that's a good one. You wanna do pool, over-under? I'm gonna give him. Yeah, give me an over under date. Well, the over under seemingly would be half the month, right?

Yeah. And saying that basically he'd spent double. So you wanna make it 10 days? I take it under, clear under. If it's clear, then let's make it 10 days. Does he spend $100 by July 17th? That would be more than he's ever spent in a week. Yeah, I don't know. He's getting 25 and then maybe a couple,

five, six bucks on top of that. But if he's able to spend $100 in the next 10 days, now sitting over here shaking his head, I'm inclined to agree, but his first purchase was $20 at Torchies when he knew he had 25. Yeah. That's really good. Can he make it two weeks?

I don't think he can. I think it'll be close to 10 days. Yeah, we have a sit-in today, Andy. Everybody, Andy. Andy! Here for Andy. Thanks for having me. Andy has an identifiable face.

I've met you, did he meet you? I met him at the Cowboys sit-in. Not at the original sit-in. Okay. You were one of the very few September 2024 sit-ins? Yes. Okay. You guys should get together every year, all the 2024 sit-ins that we get to meet twice. Because it's like a makeup sit-in. What do you think of this bit?

It's awesome, but you're getting played really bad, Blake. And I give it a week. He's gonna spend $30 by the end of the show. One week. I'll check it at the end. Well, that is a good, we have to check by the end of the show, right? Let's check at the break and.

You get an alert? Yeah, I get an email. Dude, you know what would really be great is if we could figure out some sort of technology to get like a CNBC ticker. Yeah, we need a sounder. That just runs on the bottom of the screen with his purchases. And another one just showed up.

So I have a lot of sports stuff to get to today, actually. I see we also have Jared Sandler on the program later. Yeah, man. He's kind of sports, he's a baseball guy. I would say that in a week's time, maybe we make it 10 days, that's the most Rangers baseball I've ever watched. And it was pretty horrible.

A lot of free baseball Dan. Are they doing as bad as the Tribe? I know there were some firings involved. No that was the guards my time in Cleveland a lot of complaining about the lack of offense and I thought I was back in Texas. Apparently they've been shut out. I don't know they had like one inning that they scored any runs in and in the last like week. I did see their scoreless streak was like threatening history. No, but I was, I'll save Hot Springs talk,

met a listener out there randomly at the marina and he took me out on his boat, it was great. Shout out to Brian Marino who works at the marina. Were you me out on his boat. It was great. Shout out to Brian Marino, who works at the marina. Were you worried that you wouldn't come back? Just taking you out on his boat? No, I wasn't. Got a Dexter to tear down. And I'm such an idiot, I thought you wouldn't come back

like you love it so much. Oh no, like he killed you. He's a guy who just moved there and. He raped you and killed you and left you out in the, the middle of. I don't want him to take this as an offense because Brian's a very athletic guy. He's wakeboard, flyboard guy,

but he's way too small to rate me. He's like five, five, four, five, five. Like I would... Interesting. I could rip him off with my cheeks. Challenge is out there, bro. Yeah. So let's do a weekend check though,

and let's make it brought to us by Community Mechanical. Our HVAC company, I'm so glad that I got the preventative maintenance at the very least with them because I did that before the hot summer months. And you know, they did discover some problems. Oh, you know what? I actually was texted by a guy who makes his living kicking a ball through two vertical things and he said, hey can what's the community mechanical number and stuff? So I told him. Did you know Justin Tucker was just out here

texting Dan? No, I didn't know he lived locally. It could be Justin Tucker but the point, let me kind of look forward here, the point is that this guy was told by another HVAC company that it would be like a $10,000, you know000 new unit and all this kind of stuff. And as you know, I've been outside his house, pretty new house, and like, oh, he need a new unit? No. They were able to fix his air conditioner in 10 minutes. The other company was needlessly trying to sell him a full system. It was a $100 repair. Unbelievable.

And that's what Community Mechanical will do that for you knowing that they've just made a customer for life. Lot of businesses. Why do they wanna just soak you right now? A lot of businesses. Just cause you're a guy. And you know this, you got jock sniffers out there. You think that maybe they're doing this

cause he's an all pro. No, they'll do it for you. They'll treat you like an all pro at community mechanical. It's community dfw.com. Their phone number is 469-667-7290. Had them out to my house. They were at Blake's house last week. We'll hear about that later on.

Uh, how exciting. Uh, if you do go with a new system, you can get a sit in. If you go with that preventative maintenance, you can get some merch, so head them up community dfw.com. If you do go with a new system, you can get a sit-in. If you go with that preventative maintenance, you can get some merch. So head them up, communitydfw.com. I'm gonna give you one brief one for the weekend check and then pass. This is, I posted about this over the break

and I got a little traction on it. It's sauna related. The sauna is really picking up. In fact, in general, as we all know, all gyms are picking up, but the rec is really picking up. Because the rec in the summer is not just for working out, it's for everything, right? Daycare, camps, dance, swimming, reading, it's packed.

And the sauna is accordingly packed. So I was in there last week, and you know my bit, normally don't talk, headphones on, I'm learning now that it's destroying my phone, so I may be just bailing on this, but I usually just have headphones on. You stay in for the full half hour? That you've recommended to me?

I go over 20. 25 is my normal. If I have the time, I'll try 30, but honestly at 30, I'm struggling. Actually, there was a guy this morning talking. He's a huge beating, but he wears one of the hats that they make, that Russian guys wear, if you've ever seen those, and those work.

It's like a banya hat, it's wool, and it's a little bucket hat, because the whole steam sauna thing is very Russian. Why do you wear it? Because if your head is cooled by about 10, 15 degrees, you can stay in there way longer. Oh, so it's a cooling hat? Yeah.

Okay, I thought that had to make your head hot. No, like people will do that with like trash bags and the like. But so I'm about 20, 25 minutes and I was in there on, I think it was July 5th, and the sauna had been closed on July 3rd and 4th. The sauna closes maybe two days twice a year. And other than that, it's closed maybe one Friday in the

afternoon a month. And there was a guy in there who I'd seen before. He can't, he can't stop talking. And he was like to somebody else, how often you come in here? Which already were like, ah, what are we doing? That's not small talk. And there's four or five people in there. And she was like, yeah, I try to come in here? Which already we're like, ah, what are we doing? That's not small talk here. And there's four or five people in there,

and she was like, yeah, I try to come in every this day, this day, this day. And she said, I tried to come two days ago on my normal day, but it was closed. And he goes, yeah. He's like, I did too. He's like, they close it for two full days. He's like, they'll do anything to close this place down if they can.

And I'm like, well, that's an interesting take. And I kind of sat there for a second. The conversation continued and he was like, they, he's like, they close it in the afternoon sometimes. And he's, he's like, it just drives me crazy. And unfortunately, uh, I went from being like a loud mouth drunk to just a guy who kept to myself cause I was drunk to just a guy who kept to myself, because I was drunk, to now like a sober keep to myself,

and now I'm feeling myself a little bit sober. And I go, what's their incentive there? And he kind of stopped, because up to that point, so you're like, play this whole thing out. Was kind of either silent or throwing gas on for him. Like, yeah, that does suck, that does suck. And I was like, so what's their incentive there? And he goes, I don't know.

I mean, I guess it could be staffing. And I go, do you think they save that much by closing it for four or five days a year? And he goes, yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's just my perception. Oh, you've changed this guy's mind. four or five days a year? And he goes, yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's just my perception. Oh, you've changed this guy's mind. And then it just got quiet.

And no one said anything. And five minutes later, he got up and walked out. And in the same tone goes, y'all take care. Oh, you ruined his day, his whole existence. No, you know what, I think what it was. I don't think I ruined it. I did what I intended to do, which is what I stopped him for a moment

of sharing negativity for no reason, and he probably thought, boy, this is fucking lame. Nobody needed to hear me bitching about something that doesn't exist this morning. And when I posted it on Twitter, some people were like, you're an a-hole, why do you need to do this? And I kinda feel like one one but also I like the rec

I know a bunch of people that work there like they're working hard and we pay $11 a month So just walking around being like this sucks. You're more little but know about it I don't know I felt like saying it doesn't suck actually life's good old guys just want a bitch embrace the baby What even that old you know it's like 50. Yeah, it's like dude your dick still works be happy If it doesn't more on that later That's right game. We can tell and can help us. Thanks for the water. I was uh One thing on the sauna cuz I've texted you now from the sauna one thing on the sauna, because I've texted you now from the sauna, I'm like I didn't know 24-hour fitness had a sauna. Apparently it's in where the pool

is and I've never been in there and so it's not a guys only. Is yours? No. Okay. So it was first of all embarrassing, yes, if you think it's guys only and you walk in without a towel. Yeah, you're bricked up. It's all hanging, embarrassing, yes. If you think it's guys only and you walk in without a towel. Yeah, you're just bricked up. It's all hanging, yeah, it's hanging loose. Cause you know, it kinda gotta work up a little chub to you don't wanna embarrass yourself walking through the locker room. Anyway, so it's packed.

Three people can sit on one side, three people on the other, you know, on the wood thing. Bench. And it's five people. And two on the one side inched over for me. They're leaving you a spot. So now it's me next to the wall, guy in the middle, someone else, and then over on the other seat, it's, you know, wall, guy, wall.

So four people end up leaving over the next 10 minutes. Common. And it's me against the wall and guy in the middle real close to me who scooted over for me. And it's a guy. And he's just looking at his phone and stuff, but I'm just sitting with my phone in my pocket, thinking my thoughts, staring straight ahead.

It's a good place for thinking, no? Yeah. Okay. And I'm thinking right now, is this guy gonna scooch over or, so we just sat next to each other, he didn't feel uncomfortable apparently I did He's less than a foot from like real close to me

mmm, and I ended up having I left Earlier than I would have left because I thought it would look weird if I got up and moved to the other side Yeah, like ooh boy cooties right dude, but this dude could like hey, we've got a little room to stretch out Let me just scooch over a bit like boy cooties? Right, dude, but this dude could like, hey, we've got a little room to stretch out, let me just scooch over a bit. Not that I'm a homophobe, maybe I was even a little interested, good looking dude.

I don't wanna sit close to anybody. We're in the sauna, I don't know. You can do anything in the sauna, right? That doesn't count for a gay experience. You missed your window. It was when everybody got up. Right when everybody gets up and there's a shuffle, and then it's like a smoke bomb dropped, and when he looks up from his phone.

I woulda had to get up, go get a drink, come back. Like, play this whole. It just works. Yeah, you coulda moved to the other bench when everyone's moving around, but you sit there too long. And it's probably a minute. If you sit there for a minute.

If that. For that long and then you get up and sort of casually move over, it makes it seem like his manliness is too much for you to be next to But yeah people reshuffle. So that's when I got back from vacation my quick vacation thoughts And again, I have a lot of different stuff watch the bin Laden documentary Like to get into that with you I

Went to Cleveland, channeled my inner TC and Jake together because we did have to go airport dumpage but I did it in the family restroom, which legit when I walked out, guy holding baby, lady with stroller, baby inside stroller, both of them then staring at me as I saunter out like, what an experience, that was so great. You know the way I look at it? You're right, they changed the HOV lane

to anybody who's been a mom ever. I got a family. I do. I'm using the bathroom. I have a family and very many times in the past I've taken my daughter or whatever into the tiny stall. So I think I've accumulated some credits Where and I had my luggage and all, you know my carry-ons so Tell it to the judge. It was great in there man. Just great

Two and a half hour delay at the gates. Like you're in the plane, but you never left the gate. So two and a half hours. How long were you on the plane? The captain says it was a slight mechanical issue in the back of the plane. Five minutes later, this guy walks through with the orange tape, you know, the reflective tape,

whatever, you know he works for the airline. He has a roll of duct tape. And I knew this isn't going to be good because then he ended up walking back and yes, it was two and a half hour delay, but then we took off and we got to Cleveland, beautiful Cleveland. Was told it was a full flight, but had an open middle seat.

And me and the other guy, the other guy, once they closed the door and stuff and looked up and he looks at me and he fist bumped me. Yeah, that's worth it. Some guy like it. That's a worthy bump. Yeah, like you're right, bro. This is an open middle seat, bro.

One thing about the tape, I saw something on social media about this while we were away. Did you see this too Clayton? There was a guy, some aviation guy, because if you look at your window sometimes on an airplane, it looks like there's duct tape on the wing. I've seen it before.

It's not duct tape. They have something called like- Some super tape. Speed tape or aviation tape or something, and it does look exactly like duct tape, and they put it all over the plane. And I like right it doesn't they have to come up with a different or a different color different color because it looks it's the same exact silvery yeah gray color yeah my dad was a pilot and he said freak people

out by saying yeah we're gonna put some speed tape on it and just looks like duct tape yeah that's what I love comedian pilots who's really setting me at ease here. New bits ever? No it was pretty straight-laced with that but sometimes I guess if you got feisty make an announcement yeah it's gonna slap some tape on it and will depart. Love it. I do have to love that. Preparing to be the lone survivor as I am on every flight. First of all, as I determined that- 11A? Well, I got 10.

I couldn't get 11. And I couldn't, I'm not in first class, so I might be wrong, but I thought I'd be the headline if this flight goes down, local media, whatever. Like I thought I was the most famous person on the flight, which is important to me. And it's also important to be the lone survivor of the crash.

Do we go seatbelt on or off? I couldn't remember. Like did the one guy in 11A get thrown? And that's how he survived where everybody else was like, I can't get it. And then they just crash and I gotta look into that look into that Blake and then while I was a patient all right I think it says landed in the building where medical students live he opened his eyes realized he was alive and

unfastened his seat belt before forcing himself out of the aircraft okay cuz that was that was a deal like I don't know. That's easier then I'd rather keep it fastened. Your your hard-ass uncle or whoever that's like I'm not gonna be trapped in this burning vehicle. I'm like what do you do? Why's your vehicle on fire? That happens often. Yeah. And then I just thought you'd like to know, register one for July. I got in a fight with my wife over text on vacation. Over text? Wonderful. Dan, not a texter.

Because I was with my buddy Joe and Sven. You might've met them both in the past. Sven has a kid named Sven and then Ethan. Those are his two kids. But I had told my wife I was going to Joe's to hang out with Sven. She texted me while I was there and said, tell Joe and Sven I said hi and get the scoop on Sven and Ethan. Like, hey, how are your kids? What do they do? And I just texted back, you know I won't do any of that because I won't I know at the end she knows did you have you are the king of did you have to do that to me like

you've said that to me so many times why did you need to reply you asked for this but she knew I wouldn't do it and I just thought I'd remind her that this I don't know who you're texting but because I will come home and she'll be like well how are kids I don't know I don't know I don't know how you're texting, but because I will come home and she'll be like, well, how are our kids? I don't know. I don't know. Just get good. I don't know how his wife is. They made the thumbs up.

I don't really even know. For you to avoid this situation. I don't know how he is. Like Sven, I hung out with him. I'm not sure. Right. Does he have any health problems? Maybe.

He looks okay. He looks like he's from Ohio. Yeah, he just looks like a friend of mine that I just hung out and talked. I do know that the Indians haven't scored, and that's important. Whatever. But.

And then Gabriel spinning it. I do want to say there's a happy ending here. So despite the fact that we registered our first fight of July, she she, you know, and after a couple of nasty texts where she's not happy with my response, she ends up with, because I was leaving, this was the night before I left, and I'm leaving tomorrow to fly back, she texts me, I've got book club tomorrow night so you and the boys are on your own for dinner. Just. I've got book club tomorrow night, so you and the boys are on your own for dinner

Just like what a what a boost in your sales when you think you're going back home and you know back home is good enough Because you love being home now if the delay had been on the way home Might have been a problem that would have really been devastating things to get to yeah Clayton what's your weekend check slash vacation check? I didn't do anything. Oh, you bought a hat! You measured your head. Cool. Your head depth. You've taught me about head depth. I know my head depth. That's why I looked at the hat and I was like, no. You just looked at it? Yes. You didn't even put it on? No. I don't need to. I don't, I don't buy this.

Do you think you could tell your head depth by just looking at a hat? I don't think so, no. I have a pretty, I think, average head. Because doesn't it look like his hat's kind of tiny right now? Like I feel like this hat is a deeper hat. I don't know man, why don't you guys work this out. I mean I love it though. Whataburger, you guys know we're gonna be at Whataburger tomorrow? Yeah. Excited. So I got home Friday evening excited to uh staring at a week off right in front of me and uh AC's not blowing cold air. So last time it was a breaker issue, I just flipped it off, flipped it back on, same deal. And so unfortunately, Friday evening at six o'clock, I had to text Travis, hey, my AC's not blowing cold air.

They had a guy out in an hour to look at it. Damn. But in between that hour, we were staying in the kitchen and we hear a pop come from our unit outside. They're like, oh, okay, great. And so we walk out there and I don't know if it's just a fear or panic, but maybe I was smelling refrigerant or something

and thought, that's no good. So I go inside, I turn the breaker off and just leave it sitting there until the guys get there. They look at it, it's a blown compressor. I nod, like I know what that means. Sure. And they sent some pictures of Travis and Travis said, if I hadn't turned the breaker off,

the thing would have caught fire and probably the house. So we were really lucky we were home when it happened. But that meant a weekend with no air conditioning. Wife is eight months pregnant. Kid's three. So sent her off to my parents' house. The kid is three months pregnant? Three years old, so.

They're letting them do all sorts of stuff now. At even earlier ages. I was like, the kid can stay with me, but apparently that was not an option. No, it's not an option. Kid's need AC. Well, they don't need it, but she was saving you from yourself because he would have been a pain in the ass

and you would have wanted to ditch him the second he was complaining about being hot. He's three. But I wanted to stay there. I don't know, that's where my shower is, my clothes are there, that's my bed. And so even though the house got up to 88 degrees, I slept at home.

Boy, that's terrible. So, and the community guys were great. They knew immediately what it was. They offered to drive to Keller and back to Wiley to install a window unit. I thought that was too excessive, but they were great. So I need a new unit. Monday morning, they're out there first thing.

And because I have preventative maintenance, I got 10% off my new unit, which was a substantial discount. Yeah. You gotta sit in. And now I have a sit in. You're sitting here. Yeah, I gotta find it.

But yeah, they installed a new thermostat for me because this new HVAC technology's crazy and needs a new thermostat. And it was awesome, they took care of me. So. You could have just made that the spot. I know, but yeah. A weekend without air conditioning,

I wouldn't recommend it. So did you have to like go take care of your kid elsewhere during the day Saturday or were you just by yourself but hot all weekend? Yeah, no, we did stuff out of the house. And mainly crashed at my parents' house. We live really close by. Dude, I love window units.

I love them. Why? I just had, I had them in college, I had them in all my eight. You could feel that cold. Dude, and you just put your shirt over it, you know? I loved it. The thing they did for me, the mini splits,

kinda like that, but you know, the old school window unit. Vacation Bible school every year, it was the cousins fighting for which one of us got to sleep in the room with the window unit. Vacation Bible school every year, it was the cousins fighting for which one of us got to sleep in the room with the window unit. That's so Texas. It's a freaking King of the Hill episode. Wanna do some sports? Absolutely.

["From the Wonderful World of Sports"] From the wonderful world of sports. Radio sports scoreboard. Oh yeah, I like that. A topic wheel that you can pick off of. This will be brought to us by Game Day Men's Health. You want to hear their thing? Why not? Two things my buddies in Cleveland were telling me is that they, one they love Angelo Talk and they love the Game Day men's health bed and I felt good before going to Cleveland because

grabbed a nice b12 shot on my way out there very nice I'd like to go in I'm gonna go in this week for the IV you should because I hear that will really boost your energy. It will. You can get 10% off TRT for life. That's one of the things, the main things they do there. That's what I'm doing. And I'm just going to tell you,

they told me it would take about a month, right? Uh huh. And it did. And yesterday I was working out and I genuinely kind of scared myself. So this works. If you'd like to work out and make it easier to work out longer,

hit up our friends at Game Day Men's Health. I am now... So you're doing the TRT? Yeah. The testosterone, okay. The workout yesterday was able to go considerably longer and it feels great. It's great for brain fog,

so if you're just feeling a little sluggish, up gameday men's health they got several locations in the area gameday men's health.com at 10% off TRT spin that topic wheel. You got to tell them dumb zone. I mentioned the dumb zone. Did we say that? I don't know that I did but you're right. Mention the dumb zone. Assuming that's implied is maybe not. Anywhere you are at any time of day, just tell them that you heard about them on the dumb zone, even if you didn't. Okay, so topic wheel would be, we got cowboys, player arrested,

Mavs, Donnie Nelson speaks, or Mavs,umb Zone Twitter battle or Rangers Kevin Pilar shits all over the range. Let's save the Rangers one for Jared Sandler who will join us at 1 o'clock And I'm gonna say we start because I think it's a pretty quick one with cowboy arrested and because it has a song Am I up? Like he plays. This is Kevonte Turpin. I just say everybody buy in. Everybody buy in, everybody live with what Schadenheimer doing.

You're right. And I just feel like we're gonna roll with it. Everybody gonna take the punches and deal with it. And I feel like we're doing good with what Schadenheimer doing. It's great. Everybody excited. Everybody wanna be here. He did say Schadenheimer the second time.

That's a little Schadenheimer. But I haven't heard anyone say shot. He's a second time. I haven't heard anyone say Schadenheimer, and he did. Dude, Jameson's got to get a song. Everybody buying it. This is the theme song for the 2025 Dallas Cowboys. I'm going to live my body, live my body if I live or die. I just stay, live my body, live my body if I live or die. I just stay, live my body, live my body if I live or die. I just stay, live my body, live my body if I live or die.

All right, you get the idea. This story's not gonna matter. Because Kevonte Turpin was arrested yesterday morning for weed and a weapon. Kavante Turpin was arrested yesterday morning for weed and a weapon. And my initial response to this, do you guys remember a couple years ago, was it Dorrance Armstrong or Randy Gregory?

One of them got arrested for speeding. They were going like 120. And then I think they got a ticket the next off season for going like 80, and Jerry was like, I just progress. Maybe. Yeah. Same Williams, wasn't it?

Same Williams. I knew it was an edge rusher. Well, the last time Kevonte Turpin was in the news, I thought his football career was going to be over. What was that? It was a domestic violence situation that was pretty serious. Which is how he ended up taking this circuitous path

that he did to being a Pro Bowl special teamer. We're still busting and arresting dudes. I mean, I guess the gun thing is a gun thing. In Texas? You know how to drive around with your gun? No, but I think- Can't do both. I probably don't know.

I don't think this is going to affect his 2025 season. It does make me think that of the special teams unit, he certainly would be top on my bonds list. I was thinking Griffey bonds list this weekend because of the passing of somebody who is in the top five on my Griffey Bonds List this weekend because of the passing of somebody who was in the top five on my Griffey List. Are we all familiar with the Griffey Bonds List? Sure.

Everybody here know what that is? Or everybody here? And Henry doesn't. Who just passed? You don't know intern Henry? But the Griffey Bonds List. Are you familiar with Ken Griffey Jr. and Barry Bonds? Yeah.

Okay. Well, Griffey was one of my heroes growing up and I always just thought he was a natural, pure athlete. In fact, he was a gazelle. Like he would not stretch before games and they would ask him, why don't you stretch? And he says, you know, the gazelle doesn't stretch, like an animal in the wild doesn't stretch. you know, the gazelle doesn't stretch like an animal in the wild doesn't stretch. I'm this is just who I am. He's just perfect. He's pure. Had a great career and Barry Bonds. You look at him and you think of Barry Bonds, you think of what? Steroids. Steroids. Never proven. They never busted him, but you still think of

steroids. When you look at Ken Griffey Jr., you think natural. That guy did it all on his own, and to me he's so pure as the driven snow, it would really disappoint me if he was busted for steroids. Like, I think he's the 0% chance, whereas it wouldn't disappoint me if I heard Bonds tested positive. You'd be like, oh, OK, of course. So that's the Bonds Griffey list is, I think this guy clearly wouldn't have used steroids.

And if he did, it would devastate me hearing about that. But this guy, of course. In real life, there are Bonds and Griffys. And this is what I'm talking about now. When Jake went to rehab, no one around here was like, Oh, my, I can't believe it. Not Jake Kemp. Yeah, I've never if Jake got arrested, if I got arrested, if whatever. All the dirtbags on this show, you know, it would be like, Oh, I heard

Dan was busted with a prostitute. You'd be like, Hmm, didn't know we did that. But Saad Youssef. What? Oh my God. He's a Griffey. You see Jared Sandler. It's very high up my, uh, Griffey list.

Agreed. Um, and over the weekend we had the passing of, uh, somebody on the Griffey list. Agreed. And over the weekend we had the passing of somebody on the Griffey List. Gordon Jago. Ah, yes. Good friend. I would agree with that. Good friend over the years, radio friend over the years, but I ended up reading his book and-

Coached your youth soccer team. He came out to one of our soccer practices, fell down. He was like 80 years old and I was worried that this would be the hip breaking and the death of our soccer practices, fell down. He was like 80 years old and I was worried that this would be the hip breaking and the death of Gordon Jago, but he lasted another 10 years or more. That was one of my favorite days as a producer was Gordon Day around the Dallas Cup every year

because we do several segments. The guy was in London when the Nazis were bombing it. He was hiding in a shelter and then he played at you know, the highest levels and yeah, he was just such a great dude Such a great dude. Trust me. You don't love your wife. Like that guy loved his wife I remember listening to him talk about his wife and thinking I'm incapable of this level of affection It was so cool to see So update on the Griffey list.

I now have Brandon Aubrey. Yeah, I don't know, you're really claiming to know a lot about Trent and Brian here. And you don't. I don't know, I don't know anything. But he just seems like just the nicest guy. Brandon is 100% Griffey. Yeah, that's what I mean.

Sure, but you said Terp is obviously the biggest bonds. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's got a history, too. He does. But Brandon Aubrey, Jared Sandler, I had Gordon Jago. I think Tom Grieve is on there. Now, there's different levels of Griffey, too. If you told me Tom Grieve during his playing days

did this or that, I'd be like, okay. But current Tom Grieve, I would be, if he was caught up in some kind of a Me Too scandal, no way, not Tom Grieve. Agreed. And I throw, I just thought of this over the week, Matt Brunig. Unless overthrowing capitalism puts you on the bonds list, or overthrowing a whole system of government.

But otherwise, I kind of feel like he's just like a, I guess there are different levels. But if you said he was pulled over for drunk driving with a prostitute and a eight ball of cocaine, I would be like, not my Matt Brunig. If Jake Kemp was the same things, I would say, I'm glad he didn't get hurt. Matt Brunig is a griffy, I will give you that.

Yeah. I think for a second I thought I heard you say Matt Birmingham, and I was thinking, Oh no, no, no, no. In some ways, because he's like an asexual being, but he's also the weirdest person I've ever met, so I don't want to put him on any list.

No, he could have a body buried and you'd be like, mm, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What else was on the wheel? Donnie Nelson. Apparently is like a coach or something for Lucas team. Well not the Lakers but he is sort of I guess nominally like the GM of the Slovenian national team now. I don't know what I think they're calling it senior advisor

which led to him speaking to the media. And yeah, I'd love to have him on. It's a very weird series of events and then the whole Cuban nephew thing just sort of, I guess it was settled, it went away. But yeah, I don't know. I don't know where Donnie's role is in this. Obviously, he's critical of the Luka trade in his public comments. Yes, article I'm reading about it reflecting on how the Mavs once operated.

Nelson emphasized the team used to prioritize long-term relationships, community values, and treating stars with care. During my years in Dallas, we always consider what was important to that community, and we looked at the players as being a part of that. It was never like we went to one of our ATMs, took out a player, used him until he was most useful, and then threw him away. Yeah, and for better or worse, right? Like the Mavs were thought to be sometimes maybe too loyal, which is why the Tyson Chandler thing shocked everybody, but that's what they were. That's obviously a serious departure now. Yeah, he even kind of mentioned something about,

you know, even with Dirk's final years, like it was out of respect for Dirk. He could finish when he wanted, how he wanted, like he was that good of a player, and that's what you afford guys like that. Not what did happen, which I still sometimes just lay around thinking, how? Why? I can't, I, he looks so wrong in a Lakers uniform.

It doesn't look right at all. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate everything about it. I'll tell you how I was getting upset. Because I find different pathways to it every single day. It's the only thing that makes me upset every single day. Unless I've texted Blake that day,

because then he's usually made fun of me. So this rap group that I really like has got a new album coming out on Friday. Clipse, they're from Virginia. You're familiar with Pusha T as his feature on Runaway. So they're from Virginia and there's a couple dudes I follow who are from Virginia or about my age and they're very excited about this

because Clipse hasn't put out an album in like 15 years. There's really nobody from Dallas musically like that. I mean there's obviously you could be like a big Badu fan or whatever but we don't have a thing. All the rap music in this state that people were proud of came from Houston when I was growing up. Luca was like the first thing in my lifetime. And obviously, we love Dirk, folks. We love Dirk. But Luka was, I think, the first thing in my lifetime. And then especially when Kai rejoined,

where it was like, holy shit, Dallas has the coolest thing of the things. And I've never really, like, the Cowboys were that for sure when I was a kid. They have not been that, not just not been good, they haven't been like the coolest team. The rain, you know what I mean? The Dallas had a cool thing, and it felt like

one of the first cool things we'd had in a long time. It was identifiably cool. It wasn't just great, it was cool. Now you got Anthony Davis, who I hear knows Sal. Good basketball player though, when he's available. No, it's part of the Riz. It's part of the, how to get on national TV as many times as possible.

That's the guy. Nobody is saying, you know what? I need more Anthony Davis games on national TV. It will not happen. And even if they're turned out to be a real good team, which I don't believe will happen, but even if they did, let's take, let's give you an example. How many Cavs games do you think that ESPN has just fired up to get on their next gear? Like they're not. They're more willing to do a Lakers-Mavs game because of the Lakers and the whole thing that was created there. The

Lakers are always the Lakers. The Mavs aren't always what the Mavs were with Luca. You were on the map. You were on the basketball map. You mattered. People cared. Any series you went into, people give you a chance because you have that one. And now, you know, the series will be based on matchups. And the Mavs might end up winning a series here or there. You like the other little, uh. They won't be saying, because Anthony Davis might just take control of this whole series

and put the team on his back. He's not that guy. He's not that guy. And everybody's going to be so infatuated with Cooper Flag that that'll never even have a chance to breathe. It's bad that I can't enjoy anything about Cooper Flag, maybe someday, but the fact that I feel so bad that this guy was bailed out and national media is now making fun of us even more with the whole, as he's, you know, the plan is, you're starting to see the vision.

See the vision. No, we're not starting. You don't start to see the vision when you got so lucky slash possibly the NBA handed you something. Yeah. Did you see the Kyrie stream? Yeah, I got the audio. Okay, because- That's my Twitter fight.

My Twitter battle is regarding that. Oh, yeah, yeah. Did you see the Twitter battle? You know what I thought about? Is it like a battle? No, no, no, it's somebody just quoting us. It was an account that I was following and then. So it's DerekLivelyMuse.

Yeah, no, I think I saw. Is the follower. Or the person that is. Yeah, there's a million of those. So here, let me give you the battle then, and we'll end it with Kyrie. You know we gotta take it back to the battle, right? Oh, here we are.

So the Dumb Zone account, I'm guessing you, Yeah, did I do something bad? No. Put out a video of Dan and Jake talking about Kyrie signing a three-year extension. Well done, guys. Would you like to hear the, well, because these are the things that were disputed by the Mavs fan account. If I'm not mistaken, that extension would be pretty much the size of his one year option he was picking up times three.

Yeah. So it's not like he's taking some kind of a discount because he's a true believer in that. What Kyrie Irving is doing is the only thing Kyrie Irving can do. He could take the one-year option, but teams are not just sitting around with $45 million of cap space. Like Kyrie Irving could not say, you know what, I don't believe in this organization. I'm not going to sign this contract. I'll go one year. And that would not work out well for him financially. No, it's crazy. I mean, it's a basic financial decision that we all make. Like if I said to you,

I'll give you $10 now or $6 every day for the next three days. He didn't make a decision to give a discount. He made a decision to get guaranteed money, mitigate risk, and to do so traded some dollars back. But the media does this all the time. When a player does that, they're always like looking out for the team. I'm like, it's either the team or that he's like 34, both of his knees don't work, and somebody's willing to pay him $120 million to play basketball for the next three years. So this account on Twitter had a problem with us and wrote, this video is astounding.

And then he would do, he's going to break down a couple of points and tell us where we're wrong. It will say what the video said and then the truth. So he says, the video, we said that extension would be pretty much the size of his one-year option times three. The truth, Kyrie's one-year option was for $43 million. His new contract is $39.6 or $3.4 less in year one than the option, which I still say is pretty, it's kind of what you said in that video. You said if somebody said they'll give you $10 today or $6 for three days in a row, what

are you going to take? You know? We can just go through this, but the idea that there's a huge discrepancy between $39.6 and $43 million is not something to get hung up on, in my opinion. Even if it allowed them to use the room, it's- CWK The video said it's not like he's taking some kind of a discount because he's a true believer. The truth, Kyrie did take a discount as established above. In fact, him taking this discount unlocked the mid-level exception for the Mavericks which allowed them to sign D'Angelo Russell.

So I guess the issue here is that it seems that this person is saying, you know, the Mavericks were gonna give him 43 for three years. They were just gonna give him his opt-in rate times times three. But then he said, hey guy, wait. He generously said, can we meet at 39.6? That's not how this stuff happens ever. So the problem is I don't know how old the person we're talking to here is because it seems like a child. The video says what Kyrie Irving is doing is the only thing Kyrie Irving can do, the

truth. I mean, that's just not true at all. If he truly was not a believer in the team or wanted out, he could have done one of three things. I'd like you to break these down, Jake. Okay. One of three things. Take the option and ask out immediately. Okay, so we're- Take the option and ask out at the trade deadline or leave after a year or decline the option and test free agency. Do you want to play the audio now? Because I feel like it might be helpful What Kyrie? Yeah

Okay, here's he's on his stream talking about his timetable for his he just reads People's comments and then answers will you be back by playoffs? Um, don't hold your breath on that. You know what I'm saying? It doesn't mean that I won't be back. It's just don't, I don't want to make any predictions on when I'm going to be back. I just want to be back 150,000% better. So I'm taking my time right now to really get healthy. I'm taking my time to really get my body right, other parts of my body right and really just enjoy this recovery process, man. It's not pretty.

Yes, it is a beautiful struggle, but I go through kind of the mental roller coaster ride every day. Just want to be back out there. So again, he has three options. Take the option and ask out immediately. Take the option and ask out of the trade deadline or leave after a year. Decline the option. Test free agency now. I don't know when he's going to be back. I have full faith that he will recover phenomenally, as well as he can, because I think he's super committed to the craft. I think he's as locked in as anybody.

But nobody knows. Let's say it's hypothetically around the deadline. So he hasn't played. He's 34. He has had all these injuries. And now he's asking for a trade? Do you think he's going to start playing 40 minutes a night right then or do you feel like we might need to?

I feel like it might need a little time and the market is what's the market. As for a rental coming off an ACL. Yeah, now once he starts playing again and he's on this three year deal, if they wanted to trade him next off season because they think they can get value for him, I think they should. I don't think they will him? I think they should. I don't think they will, but I think they should. But for right now, he had no other option to reiterate. You can't decline the option and test free agency.

You can't walk. First of all, that's kind of like the LeBron thing. LeBron opted into his $50 million or whatever with the Lakers. He was trying to get something like Kyrie has here, or he was trying to get one of the one-on-ones that LeBron is famous for. He signs the one-year contract with the one-year player option untact on.

He has done that, I think, for like 10 years in a row since he left the Cavs. Yeah. Or I think when he went back to the Cavs He started it then when he left the heat He started saying look I'm LeBron. I have all the leverage in the world Give me a one-on-one and then he could decide he could do something like hey I'll take the option and ask out or something. You know, Kyrie can't do that. Who's going to trade for Kyrie right now?

Kyrie can't do that. Who's going to trade for Kyrie right now? To add, you know, trade you $43 million worth of salary cap stuff for Kyrie. Take the option to ask out at the trade deadline. Same thing. He's not going to be able to do that not having played in a year. Also, he wants to play here. So when somebody says like, oh they're taking 39 and a half instead of 43, they're helping the team out. No, like they also want to play here. That's part of the math. So could they possibly go get $43 million from Charlotte?

I guess, but not taking that is not a team decision. That is also still. Well, but there's no $43 million in set except the nets, as I understand, like right now with cap space. I'm a free agent today. Number one, who's going to spend that money on a injured guy? And yes, the last one said the video, he's 34, both of his knees don't work. Then the truth, are you all good over there on the dumb zone?

He has a torn ACL on one knee, has had no other knee related injuries in almost a decade. Let's wait and see what he looks like when he comes back. Zero tolerance policy for Kyrie Irving slander. I'm not slandering Kyrie Irving. No, but when you run like a fan account, and again, I think this, we might be talking to like a child because somebody doesn't understand the economics of sports here. Like, yes, players make these decisions to get more security and they give back a little bit of money. And that's not because they're the team player.

It's, we're not, yeah. What I'm slandering is the media's quick jumping on the narrative of, oh, look at how much this guy, he cares so much about the about he really believes in Nikos vision see yeah using it to weaponize that He does believe in Nikos vision look how he could have opted in for one more year at 43 But he took this discount and for three years What um? What a... Dude, let's say he takes the 43 million and he comes back and he plays like 25 games and he's like, okay.

What's that deal next year? Right. I can promise you that it's not two for 80. He's not going to go get that. Right. And now this is guaranteed. Yes. 90 almost.

Yeah. Yeah. It's 90 almost yeah. Yeah it's not slander. You're not saying Kyrie did the wrong thing and the Mavs did the wrong thing. You're saying the media's coverage of it was wrong. They all did kind of the only thing they could do. Yeah. Also Kyrie did the only thing he did and the Mavs kind of had to do that too because he's a big part of their little window they have to win now type thing. Yeah, he's pretty important.

What do you think of D'Angelo Russell? Like him, always have. Really? Yeah. Now, I don't know where this came from. Maybe it was Hoop Collective. I'm a day behind with our buddy Tim McMahon. But the story I saw that,

hey, this D'Angelo Russell thing, this was really Kyrie and AD, but also Klay. Klay's always wanted to, I'm like, I forgot Klay Thompson plays with his team, how is he involved? He's not involved. Player council or whatever? Yeah, the leadership council, and then, you know,

because, maybe it was was Derek Lively, after the Rockets completed their trade for KD, Lively, who I love this, and I wish I could still be a fan of his team, he's posting their starting five and the Mavs starting five with like emojis. Like, really? And his starting five has K clay Thompson starting at the two PJ Washington's on the bench I don't know it just I'm interested to see what they do

with clay he started every game he was available for last year and he's a year older now so but I like D'Angelo liked Angela Russell as a player in this league. Yeah. Would have liked him as a backup to look. I'm sorry, I can't keep doing that. No, that's all I think about too. The NBA just makes me sad right now. Yeah.

You know, like I say, maybe Cooper flag could change that. I don't know. I do know we, you know, emanate from Dallas and ostensibly cover Dallas sports and we kind of have to cover what's going on. We don't have to. We don't have to do shit. I guess that's true, man. What do you got on?

What else was on your topic? Let's do that. Really, sports topics like the Kevin Pilar thing. I had a funny Twitter thing. Okay, hold on. Where we leave the NBA then. All right. And I guess it's somewhat related to MLB,

but I feel like it's another day, or maybe it's another week, another story of an athlete getting mixed up in gambling stuff. The Malik Beasley story is crazy. And I think the funniest part of it is that he owes, he was with the Pistons up until very recently. I think he's a free agent.

I don't believe they'll be bringing them back. He might've had an option, but he owed a lot of money to a lot of people, including some like super high profile dentist. And I don't know for sure what he got done, but in my head it's veneers. Like he was throwing games because veneers are that great. You guys, you and I have always wanted

to take the fake teeth trip. Well, Malik Beasley did and he couldn't pay for them. And there was a surge of bets in a game back in 2024 when he was with Milwaukee, a surge of bets on him recording fewer than two and a half rebounds, which caused those odds to shift significantly. Those bets lost because he finished with six rebounds. So I don't know like the particulars of the investigation,

but that one got flagged. And he also just has a lot of financial issues. He's being sued by that dentist, he's being sued by the property where he was living in Milwaukee, which interestingly enough, you know what, I think it's the one in Detroit. The property that he lives in in Detroit

is owned by Dan Gilbert, who owns the calves, which is a tricky situation because, you know, he's gonna be in court with Dan Gilbert, so they had to like notify the calves of this. So that's a wild one, but then, did you see the Lulu Ortiz story? This is the gambling one. Yeah, the baseball thing.

This was great. The first pitch bit. Yeah, so here's the part I don't understand. And it seems like these pitcher player props, I have a little experience with them, as I've told you, it seems like if really narrowed down could be easily to gamify, right? Like how can you have a outcome of a first pitch be a prop you can place a bet on?

That's so easy. And it wasn't one of them that he could hit a guy? I think it was either throw a ball or hit a guy. Okay. And, because that would just show that you're really on board here. And so, yeah, I think that's the prop. Yeah, and both pitches are way outside the zone.

But somehow targeted two pitches. Well, I both of them both pitches are way outside the zone. But somehow targeted two pitches. Well, I think it's not targeted. It's that they have these firms, you know. They had the stats that say, oh, look, a ton of people bet on this. Yeah. Yeah. So what is the thought? Well, he told some people, third inning, I'm gonna throw a ball? Maybe they come to him. You know, I don't know. But I saw an article where some baseball analytics guy looked at this and you know,

if you ever go mess around on like baseballsavant.com, you could just get lost with the stats and graphs they have there. And so this guy's looking at all of the sliders that Ortiz has thrown this year. And there's a lot of them. The second pitch he threw here that was so far outside the zone was the sixth hardest slider

he's thrown all year. And his release point, Blake, was about four inches higher than his normal slider. So he's just not even hiding it. And I guess not thinking, you know, they can track this stuff. Like they know where your normal release point is and they're gonna be able to track the activity on the the wagering sites. Well can they find any other times when he had that same pitch yet there wasn't big betting on it? You know, that's what you have to do.

That same type of pitch? Yeah, just like, did he ever have a terrible release point and throw a ball that was two feet outside? But there wasn't heavy gambling on that particular pitch. Well, this guy breaks it down to say that those two pitches in particular do look different, and that those are the two that got flagged. I don't know how it works. I guess my question is more now that there's like the the sunlight is disinfectant do you think that because this is regulated and legalized that it's happening less and we're just catching the people that do it, or because player props are such a big deal now, this is more out of control than it's ever been

and the news stories actually reflect an increase in activity. I guess there's no way to know. I would guess that second one though. I would think the first, because of those firms. Like when I learned that they have software that is so dialed into, oh, shoot, there's a big bet spike on these.

That gives me some level of confidence, I guess. I mean, it does show that for them to claim ignorance on people losing their life savings and all, like they're tracking every little thing. Yeah, I don't know how they get away with. I would like to ask Haralibab about this. I would like to talk to Haralibab soon. Well, I wanna talk about him sooner

than you want to talk to him. You wanna talk to him more, I wanna talk to him sooner. Yeah, that's a great. Here's the pitch. Yeah. But again, my point is he's thrown thousands of pitches. Are there any other times when he did that? Yeah, but what I'm telling you is there is. I mean, I don't I can't put the graphic on the screen, but there is these two pitches on a

scatterplot based on velocity and release point are way, way outside. They're higher and they're harder. On a scatterplot of thousands of sliders over the last couple years so or hundreds Maybe John Boy will do a breakdown of that. Oh, there's no doubt There's the other one where he got mad at himself for striking somebody out He must have had a prob for strikeouts and you You must have had a prop for strikeouts and you threw a slider middle middle of the guy struck out and he killed that. Yeah. And the other thing too, Dan is I just feel like when these things happen now, social

media pops so hard of videos of guys, you know, duffing rebounds that I just feel like it's hard. Everything is recorded now. Cause there's a, there's one picture of Malik Beasley like racing the end of the floor down Everything is recorded now. Cause there's one picture of Malik Beasley like racing the end of the floor down nine to cover a seven and a half point spread. He's just like whew, lost by seven. Want some today in Twitter?

Sure. So this was, you know, this week in Twitter, I should say. I have one in the folder, Clayton, the fight. So this was the tweet said, Joe Buck and his son playing golf with Jim Nance and his son. I won't read this next part because I want you to hear it and then the end of the tweet is everything about this was pretty awesome. Do you feel like you're about to hear awesome? I can tell you that I saw the tweet and didn't hear

awesome because I thought I can't I don't want to hear this. Well here we are at number eight. He's got like teenage kids. Beautiful day. A foursome coming off three pars and a short par three. And now Blake Buck and J Moe. Maybe they're 10. They're gonna tee it up. And me, a goat playing with the goat.

Hello friends. What a day at El Dorado. Wish you were here we've got two hot shot golfers and now on the tee is Blakey Buck at even par through seven holes. God just sounds right. Just sounds good. Hello friends. This this is tough because. So was his dad watching that one too? He's everywhere. I thought he only said it for his dad. Jim Nance's son is named Jameson,

which I really wanted. J Moe's cool. You wanted your kid to be named Jameson. Yeah, but you know, the wife's like, I don't know. Feels like naming it after your favorite booze one day's. Probably not gonna look great. I'm like, but it is a cool name. It is legitimately a cool name.

My today in Twitter, this happened, unfortunately, like the day we left. But we have to play it. It's the scene at the Star in Frisco a couple weeks ago. Now, I don't know if you know this, Dan, but my high school reunion was at the Star. And next to that, there's some very lively nightlife. It's like Uptown.

I mean, the bar scene up there, and I was not. So we went in, and it's your buddy from high school who made it big in like refrigeration doing bottle service. And I'm like, where are we, dude? Like the field is right there. And it's, you know, crazy over the top bars. Well, they, uh, they're attracting the attractive women of Dallas and they're out there to party. We had a big fight breakout so let's just comment as we watch this one. So you've got some pretty hot cream. Oh yes. Yeah full scoop. Two hot. By the hair swing down from one hot to the other. Now two hot's on the

ground battling it out. One of them by holding the hair of the other. Now one comes up to try to separate. Third hot runs in trying to break it up. Oh, another Hot. Now we have the girl that was trying to break it up pulls her down by the hair and throws her down. The enforcer has thrown a girl out of the mix and she's walking off. These are just five Hots. Five Hots.

This is great. Now they're trying to help over here. Oh, and suddenly a Hot walks over and kicks her. And she's knocked down. And then another Hot walks over to the girl that kicked her and punches her in the face and she's down. Now this one's just walking around like Conor McGregor. Like, eh.

Now back it up a few seconds. We're on the wrong card. I know. This is the greatest. So that, the girl who does like a, the girl kicks somebody when she's on the ground and then she's feeling good about herself and then she turn around, her titty falls out.

Oh my gosh. And she gets blocked by the. Oh, she turned around her titty falls out Oh my gosh! Full of poop! Oh she's kicking her with poop out! Yeah the girl in green is the enforcer Yeah I honestly like was wondering like she probably got so much dude action from this like dude just hitting her up like hey I saw you in the video are you interested?

You shouldn't pick a fight if you're wearing heels. And they all have super tiny dresses on and they hit just like they throw. Yeah, big girls played softball. Oh yeah, yeah, hot corner right there. Well, I wish my woman was in this. Like, wouldn't that be cool just to have that? Dude, look at her just stalking, the girl in the green blue stalking around in the back like just some

badass. Yeah. Like oh you're coming back over here I'm back over here too. Kick her with a boot. She's wearing a boot. I love it. She hits her with like this part of her wrist. Yeah yeah. Real pie thrower as they say in the baseball world. That's great. that's great stuff. The one other Twitter thing I can notice before we go to break, and maybe even do a spot before the break, if you want me to telegraph it that hard.

July, guys, Disability Pride Month. Yes. That's why I think. Chip Carey. July, guys, Disability Pride Month. Yes. That's why I think. Chip Carey? Bunt the Cubs or somebody who Chip Carey did for, yeah. They've got. Cardinals?

Don't forget, that's coming up just around the corner. I got some viewer mail on it. Is. Disability Pride Night is Thursday, July 10th and with the theme ticket. So yeah, Thursday July 10th. Can I give you my viewer mail while we're here? Is that this weekend? This week? Yeah. Alex says the reason they have Disability Pride month is because the ADA was passed in July like 32 years ago. So he copied me on...

By the way, I think Alex might be crippled So he copied me on, by the way, I think Alex might be crippled because he sent me a Netflix documentary called Crip Camp. And that's why you feel comfortable using the word crippled. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He said, this Netflix documentary was out a couple of years ago.

Why shouldn't disabled people be proud? People tell me all the time that God gives the strongest people to the gives the strongest people, the hardest challenges. God chose me, not any of you because you're pussies. He chose me and Walter white Jr. To carry this bird. As he shortened burden.

I love that. One of the better emails I've received in a long time. Well, but if you're on top like that, you don't get your own month. Like white man month. We don't get a white man month. And if you're so great, you don't need a month to be proud about it.

Everyone knows cripples are so great. Yeah, yeah. They don't need special recognition. Right. Like you got this cool parking. Right. Get on the plane first. You know, look at that.

I got to wait for this guy. All right, let's do a spot. So we used to write parody songs at the station, and I kind of miss doing it. So I'm going to welcome in a new member of the show for a, he's going to help us with some spots. His name is Hot Spice. So Hot Spice is gonna help us.

Or the Fox local app. So no matter where you live. Which? Even in Kansas City, a guy emailed me from Kansas City saying, can I do the game day men's health thing and get the 10% off here? I didn't answer him. You betcha. I'm just assuming you cannot. I think it's the DFW. Let's make a phone call.

Let's see. Call Game Day. OK. Call the Grapevine Game Day Men's Health. Tell them you're from Kansas City. Want to do it with Jared on? Sure. Because we have Jared Sandler to talk Rangers.

Liz? It's Jake from the dumb zone. Hello, how are you? Liz, it's Dan from the dumb zone. She doesn't remember Jake. How are y'all? She doesn't remember Jake at all. Hold on, everyone else shut the F up. Liz, not only do you remember Jake, you She doesn't remember Jake. How are y'all? She doesn't remember Jake at all. Liz, hold on. Everyone else, shut the F up.

Liz, not only do you remember Jake, you're gonna be seeing these buns this afternoon, aren't you? Yes, I am. She still doesn't know who you are. She does. She just assumes you're some other guy. Some other horn dog calling her,

pick on her. We're live on internet. Oh, we're on the air right now, Liz. Oh, oh nice. Yeah, we're broadcasting. air right now, Liz. Oh, oh, nice. Yeah, we're broadcasting. We're trying to find out the answer to a question. A guy emailed us. Of course. And he said, can I get the 10% off if I mention the dumb zone?

So number one, is that, do you get 10% off TRT if you mention the dumb zone? Yes or no? Yes. OK. So his second part of his question was he lives in Kansas City, and he Do you get 10% off TRT if you mention the dumb zone? Yes or no? Yes, yes. Okay. So his second part of his question was, he lives in Kansas City

and he wants to go to a Kansas City location. Were you calling him? I said probably not. Jake says- I said let's at least ask. Yeah, but these are the Dallas DFW Game Day Men's Health are the ones that are advertising- Let's let Liz ask.

I don't know. We just want to help people. We know that's what game day is about. Are you asking about the 10% discount in Kansas? Yeah. I'm saying no way, right? Yeah, I think it's just here in the area. You want us to tell this guy to F off?

No, tell him to drive down here. Yeah, tell him to drive down here. Great, fine. Near an airport. Yes, there you to drive down here. Yeah, tell him to drive down here. Grapevine, near an airport. Yes, there you go, with Dave. With Dave. He will help you. All right, we'll see you in a little bit.

All right, we'll see you, okay? All right. Okay, you hang up first. All right, bye. You couldn't do it quick enough. Anyways, the Rangers have been losing in extra innings. Oh yeah, Jared Sandler everybody. Jared Sandler is back with us.

Yeah. Where are you at right now? Dana Point, California. Orange County, Rangers Angels. With no Ron Washington. No Ron Washington, but our buddy Ted Emmerich sent me a picture, or maybe it was Mike Cousins, both of whom are our buddies, of Ron Washington eating some chicken in a suite prior to his most recent setback. So hopefully he's

doing well. He dealing with some hard stuff, but yeah, no Ron Washington, unfortunately. You know what? I actually heard Washed mention on last night's game because you were not on, I don't know if you knew that. We were on radio. Okay, radio, excuse me. But it was a national broadcast and I don't know what your opinions of Buster Olney on the broadcast,

but he always has interesting little side notes. Can I play this Blake? Am I up enough? I didn't know that one of our one of our superstars in the infield has Kenny Pickett hands. Wash had a big hand in helping develop Marcus Simeon into a gold glove infield. And Simeon's got incredibly small hands for a major league baseball player. And he had a bunch of throwing errors. All right, so they're gonna get back to it in a minute after that pitch.

So Ron Washington worked with Simeon with those little hands and showed him how to grip the ball in order to throw a truer ball to first base and cut down greatly on his throwing errors. Okay, when I tell you, like in my living room last night I had created a whole play lit with wash like tiny ass little He can't grip a ball and

Yeah, I don't know I thought that this isn't Jim Abbott Like yeah, you had a nub and yeah somehow even stretch it every day Sound like, yeah, he had a nub and yeah, somehow he would stretch it every day. It was like stretch out that fucking hand. Yeah, I just, I don't know. I did not know that Marcus Simeon had tiny hands. Yeah. So first of all, Jake, that was Tim Kirkshin. Oh, was it?

I thought they did both. Was it only not on the broadcast at all? No, it wasn't on the broadcast. That was Tim Kirkshin who is one of the best basketball players. Back in his day, he was like a legendary pickup basketball player. Used to have some epic showdowns with Cal Ripken. Some great stories about that. But yeah.

Well, I'll tell you this real quick. Then he also had a note in the next inning, I did not know Bruce Bochy only player to ever hit a walk off home run against Nolan Ryan. Yeah. Yep. Played 25 years. Yeah. Now think, think about it. Yeah. End of game. Right. It's incredibly impressive. Uh, and, and Boach was not, you know,

a big slug or anything, but you know, there aren't many, you think about it like pitchers, especially these days, but even back then it wasn't like they only threw complete games, right? You know, you had guys like Ferguson Jenkins who were pitching, uh, you know, into the ninth inning 30, 40 times a year. But yeah, no, that, that is, uh, that is an impressive note. I learned that, uh, when the Rangers hired Boach and I couldn't believe it, like what, that's pretty awesome symmetry. Yeah.

The note was that his head is so big that they could put a six pack and a thing of ice in his batting helmet after he walked off. And Nolan. It sounds about right. He is a massive individual. He does not have small hands. Let me tell you that your hands get swallowed up in his, but yeah, Marcus, Marcus always a really good athlete, but

You know if you ask him he'll tell you that Ron Washington, I don't know if he'll use the word saved saved his career, but You know, but Marcus was Maybe gonna be an outfielder if things didn't turn in his favor, you know, and then that's happened Jackson Merrill with the Padres got moved from the infield to the outfield more because of personnel CJ Abrams got moved from the infield to the outfield because he, you know, couldn't throw the ball to first base, right? So it happens, but you know, Marcus has had great value as a middle infielder. And before he moved over to second permanently, he was obviously a short

stop, uh, and Ron Washington, I mean, it's, it's weird to say this, but Ron's departure from the Rangers, which would not have happened at that time, had it not been for those circumstances, uh, back in 2014, led to him going back to Oakland, which was pretty much right when Marcus Simeon was traded by the athletics to, or by the white Sox to the A's and, you know, coincided with his arrival there and in his development as an infielder. Butterfly effect Dan. Yeah. So are we doing trivia still? Yeah. Okay because that just telling that little

note about Bruce Bochy sounds like that'd be a good trivia question for a man who's addicted to trivia, like Jared Sandler. If you follow him on Twitter or whatever, you will see he loves the trivia, folks. Loves the trivia and loves to do it here. And this is one of the benefits. If you watch our live stream and you don't just listen later, you can actually win a pair of tickets every week as Jared Sandler gives out some trivia. Also a benefit, Clayton does a segment on just fast food

in the latest and greatest, it's called the C-section I learned today. I like that. So today he was reviewing Taco Bell's continued foray into chicken. Yeah, so. Which. So very controversial topic. If you want to just stay tuned during the live stream during the breaks, that's, uh, it's highly entertaining, but again,

so is the trivia and you just have to answer in the chat when you know the answer. And so Jared Sandler, let's do it. Yeah. So let's, uh, I guess let's keep it simple. The Rangers and Astros play a series this weekend. So there's one player in Major League history who has at least 30 career homers for the Rangers and 30 career homers for the Astros. Who is that player?

I have a guess. One player. No, there's no way actually. I have a guess. One player. No, there's no way actually. Okay, we'll come back to that. Okay. Right? Okay. That's how we do it.

Good. Also Jared Sandler on Twitter. Is this a thing? Is this real or did you get hacked? Oh no, what happened? When was this on June 29 all playstations because again Tim McMahon was hacked when you were trying to buy that playstation I was trying to buy I thought I could buy a new Mac from Tim McMahon For like a thousand dollars. I'm like, are you kidding me? I'm

I'm texting Jake for Tim McMahon's number. He's like, dude, the thing was that is fake. Jared says, if you're involved in real estate investing and in need of funding or interested in learning more, send me an email. Yeah. Not a hack. Not hacked. Not hacked. So I kind of kept this under wraps for about five years. Jake knows this, right? This isn't news to you, Jake. No. Yeah. I basically, I mean, I've had two jobs since, so our house flooded in, what was it, 2018, 2019? 2019. And insurance uncovered. So that fall,

I think about August, so season's still going on. I got connected with someone who works for a real estate investment fund. I was just trying to pick up some extra work to help cover the costs. And the short of it is I started working work through the off season, I was going to stop in spring training. But then I was like, all right, I'm sort of picking up on this, maybe I'll just do it through spring training. Well, that spring training was March of 2021 stuff shut down. So I didn't know what was going to happen baseball. So I just kept doing it during the pandemic is when Emily and I had our first miscarriage and then had to start IVF and that wasn't free. And so, you know, once that, you know, once we got through that season into the off season, I kept doing it. And then I was like, what? I don't know. I'm not good with free time anyway. So I may as well balance both. So it's been a, it's been a blessing for us allowed us to make some of these decisions we've made with fertility.

But yeah, I've, I've, I had a Facebook profile named Jay sand because I was scared. I mean, I'll be honest with you guys. I, I, it was kind of like survival mode. I, we needed this. Like I needed to be able to do this to, you know, with the flood and then to be able to have some freedom with our decision making with fertility stuff. I was right at the time. And I also didn't want my bosses with the Rangers to be upset by it or think that I wasn't totally focused on growing in my career as a broadcaster. So I kept my identity concealed, I guess. I had a few people that maybe over the years,

you know, it made the connection, but it wasn't until about a month ago that I in a podcast with one of my biggest client on the real estate investing side, you know, we did a podcast with one of my biggest client on the real estate investing side. You know, we did a podcast and I shared kind of why I've been doing this. But yeah, I basically had two full-time jobs since 2018, 2019.

Damn. That's crazy. This guy's got a lot going on. Yeah, so I mean just- You don't have time to get on the bonds list. When you get like mushy and he's talking, when he talks about like fertility stuff, like and how bad they want it,

like he's, you know, having to sacrifice over here pretty substantially to make it work. But you mentioned concealing your identity. And there was a news story from the world of politics this week that I thought, boy, I have a friend I could ask about that. So my question is, to gain entry to the University of South Carolina, did you?

Southern California. Southern California, did you, Jared Sandler, claim to be an African American on your application similar to Zoran Mamdani, the mayoral candidate who was born, I think, in Uganda. You are an African American. Did you apply as such? Your dad's an African.

I remember, yeah, I remember when I was filling out the application, I asked if that was okay. And I think someone said, well, technically, it's your ethnicity and you wouldn't qualify. But then I also didn't think that I also didn't think that was in the spirit of it. And I didn't get into any of my top four choices, so maybe I'm a moron for caring about the spirit of it. But no, I did not check African American. And I was also naive to think that being Jewish was maybe something that would help, but depending on the school I applied to, I don't know that that was necessarily a valued minority.

So. Did you not go to Annenberg? No, I did, but I'm saying like, I think at like Northwestern, I don't know. I think they've got a healthy amount of Jewish candidates. Okay, Got you. Yeah, yeah. It wasn't like I was applying to go to like

the St. John's School of Jesus Christ or something. Okay, now it makes sense. Got it. Yeah. I'm gonna ask you one baseball question. What do you make of this? I was telling the guys the other day that, earlier in the show that I'm very obsessed

with the baseball savant leaderboards. And, uh, one of the ones that I really liked to track is, uh, the difference in outcome and expected outcome for pitchers and batters. And. We are in this spot now where there's a whole bunch of different problems with the Rangers offense, but there is healthy right now as I think they've been all year. Corey Seeger is still the third unluckiest hitter in baseball this year. The quality of contact, the walks, the strikeouts, he should have

I think like the fifth best Woba or really pick any stat you want in baseball this year. And the discrepancy between the expected and the actual has been the third largest in baseball this year. Like it's crazy. He's, he's, he's having an average year, basically. Um, I don't know. I keep waiting for this to normalize. It hasn't. And it was that way last year too.

And I think for guys, Corey hits the ball hard a lot. And so I think for those guys, they might always be playing catch up, not always, but a lot of times they'll be playing catch up because a lot of those expected numbers are simply based on how hard you hit the ball. But yeah, I mean, but a lot of times they'll be playing catch up because a lot of those expected numbers are simply based on how hard you hit the

ball. But yeah, I mean there is an element of bad luck there and you know. Well no, can I stop you? That's actually what I was interested in is since I know less about baseball, which type of players can almost gamify these statistics? Like Luca for example, Luca would always have poor shot quality statistics, but it didn't matter because he could make those shots. You know what I mean? So he would sort like really low on that stat, but that's what I'm saying. That makes sense to me now. It's because he just hits the ball hard. Yeah. It's, it's about now there, there are a few other factors and, and before the banning

of the three player shifts, you know, you still can shift just to on other side lefties were at a disadvantage here. So lefties expected stats were, um, you know, we're maybe going to be impacted a little bit more, but, uh, yeah, I mean, the, the guys who are really on the short end, uh, are typically guys who hit the ball hard. Now it's not foolproof. Um, but you know, I think like Juan Soto, if I'm not mistaken, from a slugging standpoint, his expected numbers are way better than, you know, his actual numbers. And, you know, Mike Trout's a guy who I think has typically been in that regard. The other thing too, though, I mean, Jake, I think you and I talked about this the other day, and there've been some stories

now written about it, but the ball's not carrying at Globe Life Field. And you know, there's stories that the ball's not carrying in general, but like even more so at Globe Life Field. Like the other day, just as an example, Alejandro Suna hit a ball before he hit his first major league home run. He had hit a few that it's like, wow, like I thought that for sure would be out. And he hit one in particular to center field, where I was, I was crunching numbers based on the exit velocity and the launch angle and using some ranges centering around those

numbers. That ball would have been a home run or had been a home run about 67% of the time across major league baseball. That similar, similarly hit ball at Globe Life Field this year was a home run or had been a home run about 18 percent of the time. So I don't know exactly what's going on but it doesn't seem as if the ball is carrying nearly as much or nearly as well at Globe Life Field relative to other parks and Corey Seeger is absolutely, I mean I can just think in my head of balls he hits to center field or right center field, uh, that just, you know, are, are dying at the track. And so that also plays a role in that. So I think you got to look at park factors.

Uh, and then I think, uh, just guys who generally hit the ball hard and core is a guy too. Jake, he hits the ball hard on the ground a lot as well. And balls hit hard on the ground, you know, aren't going to be converted into hits or slug as much as balls hit hard in the air. I like it. Do we have a winner? Yeah. So what did we decide? I think my guess was either Lance Berkman or Carlos Beltran. I was going to go Berkman and then I thought there's no way he got to 30 here.

Great meme. But I was going to. Yeah, Berkman and then I thought, there's no way he got to 30 here. Great meme, but I was gonna, yeah, Berkman was what I came up with. I'll take a guess. A hundred pence? Ooh. That's a great one. That was a good guess though. Cause a hundred pence is one of the most unlikely all stars. When you think about Rangers, all stars of the past,

he was one, but no, that's not correct. We also had a weekly show with him every week, just to review Game of Thrones. No, that's right, I We also had a weekly show with him every week, just to review Game of Thrones. No, that's right, I remember that. That was great. Hunter, hunter, hunter. What do we got, Jared? You want the answer?

Yeah. Carl Everett. Oh! Carl Everett. Completely forget Astro Carl Everett. Is he the one? Yes. I was listening to a Carl Everett, Gabe Kapler interview like two weeks ago.

I know. You played some of it for us. Because he, yeah, he's, he was a wild guy back in the day. All right, very nice. So if you're watching our stream, you learned about Taco Bueno and a new item they have coming out and you also won the tickets, right? Who won?

JSAMP17. All right. Well, we've got what? Seven here before the break. Uh, the question I have, it's not even a question. We're the same spot as we've been. They get, they, they bob up and down. The pitching is nice.

The heading can't deliver the heading delivers the pitching can't. How close are we to, to the detonation point of deciding whether or not we're like a, we're going for it this year or not. Gosh. Cause I'll just tell you, last Sunday felt like that to me. Yeah. I mean, honestly. The 12th inning loss was, yeah.

We've all had moments in the post game when we discuss, like whether it's Dave or Eric or Matt or Bassick or Murph or me, where like one of us is the doom and gloom, the other one is like, no, no, no, it's, it's okay. I see the light. Like we, we've all had both roles and, you know, Dave's really like hanging onto the fact that, Hey, you know, they're only, uh, you know, forget the division. Cause the Rangers 11 back of the division now only four games back of a playoff spot. And that's not some crazy mountain to climb, especially when you consider that they've got the

pitching. You know, you feel really good about the pitching. I think the thing for me is two things can be true. One, they haven't really shown that they are a team that is about to make a run, right? Like we, we can't believe it, but like there, there have, it's not, I remember in 2015, the Rangers were under 500 at the deadline. They acquired Cole Hamels. The day they acquired Cole Hamels, or maybe the day before, they had lost 21 to five to the Yankees.

They got their asses kicked. And they got Cole Hamels, and a part of the selling point was it wasn't just a deal for this year, it was a deal for next year. But there was also a thought, I remember talking to John Daniels around that time, he's like, I really feel like we're about to click and get going. Like there have been signs and they did and they ended up winning the division.

And I remember that. I remember like, man, this team's way better than their record, but I feel like this team is, they kind of are what their record says they are. Right. Uh, and now with all that said, it's really tough to just deny an opportunity to go into a postseason with Jacob DeGrom and Nathan of Aldi leading your rotation. Right. And it's not like this is a roster that is totally built only for the future.

So I do think that there will be every opportunity to try and buy. But here's the thing, guys, mechanically or procedurally or whatever word you want to use, I don't know what that's going look like because, and we've talked about this, the Rangers are intent, ownership is intent on staying below the lowest luxury tax apron. And so now the Mariners claiming Laody Tavares was really helpful, taking that money off the books.

But if the Rangers are gonna add, they're gonna have to subtract money or the money is gonna have to be even. So maybe it's a pre-arbitration player, or maybe it's a pre-free agency player who's not getting paid an exorbitant amount. But if you want impact players and impact players have a price tag,

you gotta make sure that the money matches up. Now, I hate to say this, because from a baseball standpoint, Tyler Malley getting hurt is not good, but from a money standpoint, it maybe gives them a little more flexibility because he was trending towards hitting a lot of incentives that would have totaled around five million and that money counts, right?

That money counts towards luxury tax figures. So the fact that he's hurt and is now not going to hit those incentives maybe gives them a little more wiggle room. But that's something that's another hurdle. In addition to whatever the cost might be to acquire players That is gonna be another hurdle and I think guys if I had a guess You might see and we've seen some teams do this more and more with the three wild card setup Some teams doing a little bit of both maybe a little selling a little buying And I could see that happening with this Rangers team

Well, I'll tell you what and you won't say this because you work for the team But I do not want to hear that the Rangers don't want to get below some certain level. I was going to say, I know we got to go, but my blood just started to boil. After getting that stadium passed, after the this and that. You went to World Series. Yeah, put some money into it. Just show the fans you're doing everything

that you possibly can. We're doing everything we possibly can under some fiscal responsibility. I just don't want to hear that. And maybe it is responsible, but I don't want to hear it. And I agree. I a hundred percent get it, right? And I think if you look at the franchises

that are perennially competing, not just for the post-season, but like every year you go in, it's like, this team's got a chance to make a run, right? They're teams that spend. Now, I just want to point out, and I'm not opining on this, but just for people who are like hearing this for the first time, it is a one-year thing because of the way the CBA is constructed. If you exceed the luxury tax for three straight years, you incur penalties. And so they want to stay

under it this year so that they can kind of reset that consecutive run. I think their intention reset that consecutive run. I think their intention is to be able to exceed that first apron again next year, but they want that clock to reset because with each successive or consecutive year of exceeding it, the penalties become steeper and steeper financially. And then you also then get into a point where your draft,

you get penalized in the draft too. Now that's not justifying it, right? Because again, there are teams that are going over and they're going over and they're going over and we all want, you know, unlimited pocketbooks because at the end of the day, if there isn't a salary cap, take advantage of it. And this is a major market. But that is the reason why, you know, there are penalties that get steeper and steeper with each consecutive year.

And the other counterpoint is that they have spent, right? They spent a lot of money on Seeger and Simeon and DeGrom and Ivaldi. It's not like, it's a different conversation than say like the Guardians, Dan, right? Cause I totally, I can't imagine how frustrating it is. They're a good team every year, but then they like always have to be looking two years ahead

to trade guys away because they don't want to pay them. You know, that's a team that just hasn't spent for years and years. Yeah, and that's also the 28th biggest market too. Right, no, no, for sure. I'm just saying it's a little bit of a different conversation than teams like that, but yeah, that is fundamentally why they want to this year stay below or attempt to stay below that first apron. Did you want to slip in some audio? Just one.

Because this is brought to us by Lone Star Beer. When you go to a Globe Life Park field, when you go to the place where the Rangers play, you can get Lone Star Beer there this year. They are the national beer of Texas, and they are now the national beer of Texas baseball they are now the National Beer of Texas baseball as well. I like the Lone Star Blue. I'm into the Lone Star Light. Jake, or excuse me,

Blake I should say is more into the Lone Star Red. And we're all into the merch. If you would like some of that merch, the Dumb Zone 21 is set up on LoneStarBeer.com. Use the code DUMBZONE21, get 21% off your merchandise, must be 21 or over to purchase. Blake, you have audio. Jared, it looked like you needed a Lone Star in Baltimore. Was it hot or something there? Because you looked miserable on the field. I can't tell you how many people texted me like a screenshot of the post game. They're like, are you okay? Like, is everything all right?

I had Marcus Simeon told me that his wife reached out to him. It's like, you need to check on Jared, make sure he's okay. Because she was watching from, from home. It was, yes, it was incredibly hot, but it was like super muggy. And I mean, I'm not like TV guy who like just puts on powder or whatever. We, we have a woman, Renee, she's the best. She puts on makeup at home. She loves doing it. I just let her do her thing, but on the road, I don't put on makeup and I don't know if it would have made a difference or

not, but yeah, it looked like, uh, I don't know if you remember the movie bedazzled with Brendan Frazier, but it was like the scene out of the dazzled where he's the basketball player and just perpetually sweating. It was, yeah, it was steamy. Yeah, my only reports were from when you were in San Diego is my group chat here says, dude, Jared Sandler is so ripped. And there is a reply that says he is a brick shithouse.

That is amazing. The fellows are admiring the traps. How much you've been. I love it. What's that? How much you've been. You heard him shut up. No, I, I, I don't, I mean, I don't know. I, I, if there's anybody who knows. Short little arms, you could get anything up.

See, it's harder to get up with the long arms. Yeah. I was talking to one of my friends when I was younger, because I was, I was benching more than him because back in the day, like you thought that mattered. Uh, and his response was, well, yeah, alligator arms. He, he, he used a word that I can't use. I won't use anymore, but he used a word calling my arm short, essentially saying that I had an unfair advantage. So I've always remembered that.

Yeah. They would fit perfectly with Marcus Simeon's hands. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well you looked sick which is why I texted you I was like are you okay and this was the day you were on our show and you said you were fine it was just hot as hell and then you were like give me something to work in and within 30 seconds you had this worked in it. This might be your finest work on Our show the dumb zone Listen you spent so much time Thinking about the American League it might feel like you only know about the American League even with interleague play

I'm sure there is a matchup in the national league. We're so clear inside. Jared took offense to just a comment that I put no thought into. That he might only know the American League focusing on the Rangers and your ability to weave that in immediately was spectacular. Yeah, I mean, there's no way, there's no TV, there's no reporting, they don't play each other,

so how would you ever? Yeah, right. How would you ever keep track of the Los Angeles Dodgers? Dan, when you were growing up, did you, was it like, and this is not an age joke, right? But like, did, did you grow up in the era where it was like one game a week on NBC or did you buy Pat? Were you, are you young enough to where that was never the deal? Uh, yeah, they had like Saturday Game of the Week or something.

But that was like the only game that you were maybe going to be able to watch. Maybe they still had ESPN stuff, but we didn't have ESPN. So, you know, but yeah, generally it was that. And generally, I knew about the American League. Yeah, because not the National League. Right. Herb Scorill wasn't talking about the National League. No you go. Because. Not the National League. Right. Herb Scorill wasn't talking about the National League.

No, we wouldn't even get. And then when they went to interleague play, I remember bitching about that just because then, oh, I get to see Barry Bonds like once every three years, perhaps. Like that was the weird rotation. Like Major League Baseball has effed up a lot, I think. And that was one of the things. Well, I do think there are some people who still don't like an early play. I do think they have finally gotten it right where you play everyone every year.

Yeah. But yeah, I don't know if I'm nostalgic for things just because they were the way they were, but I kind of liked pitcher's batting. I liked two leagues having a totally different rules. One color. You know, you know, it's. I mean, I thought you're, you're not thinking too much. All right, Jared, we'll talk to you soon.

Oh yeah, yeah. Hey, if anyone has, needs any funding for real estate and property, you can let me know. All right. Yeah. See you guys. Now do we charge him for that? Yeah, it's a spot.

That's right. Charge the charity. We would like to do some news. It'll be brought to us by Frankel and Frankel, personal injury attorneys. If you get into a wreck, call them immediately. The insurance companies will try to take advantage of you. Frankel and Frankel will fight for your light, for your life, rights? I don't know, maybe your life.

Well, if you get in a wreck, your lights might not work. Might have been busted. They'll fight for those lights. That's good, Blake. And anyway, they've got the experience and knowledge to win in the courtroom. They will work tirelessly to maximize your outcome when you call 214 or 817, all threes. You won't talk to some idiot like Henry's not going to answer the phone.

You're going to talk to a partner, like, let's say, Jake. Right, or a Dan. I'm talking Mark, or Scott Frankel, or Gene Burkett. They got their act together, and they will help you when you are in that time of need. Thank you, Franl and Frankl. And what's this? Oh, what's this over here?

What's this little thing just sitting over here? This little piece of audio. So the news is not all that positive over the weekend. Obviously there was a situation down in the hill country. I think at last check they had it at 90 deaths, 27 from Camp Mystic, which was a all girls youth camp down there. I did hear from a couple of listeners

who were asking us like, hey, didn't friend of the show Ted Emmerich say that he had a kid down at a camp somewhere in the hill country? And he did. She was not there. She was picked up a few weeks ago, but she was at that camp.

That particular camp, wow. Very much in the path of that flood. So my wife is so into this story. I don't think this is like betraying our confidence or like relationship at all but my wife had a really hard time with it to a point where I was like maybe you should stop. Oh yeah no it's not like my wife is loving it. No I know I just think she was just like really depressed. Last night right after we all talked, I never know what to believe on Twitter. For instance, and I'm just thinking Twitter now is a place where you can have instant

conspiracy theories and jokes, things that would take a little while before you can have it within moments. And I liken this to the 9-11 bit where somebody was saying, somebody on like the 100th floor rode the rubble down and they actually lived. And it turned out that's BS, that did not happen. But we all kind of believed it because I read it on Twitter.

And last night we learned, and I got to go break this news to her, but I said, I'm not sure if it's true or not, that they just found two kids 30 feet high in a tree, because the water had risen up and they just climbed up in a tree. They were holding onto the tree for 24 hours. And then she couldn't find it on the news feed. And so we weren't really sure. And I gave her my analogy of 9-11. And then she found, like she kept refreshing her phone

and was like, it's real. They found two girls in a tree. And then, yeah, they were holding it. Like how did they stay awake holding onto the branch for 20, like imagine that. Well, I think it was fake. What? It was? I think so. She told me it was real. Yeah I mean I'm the one who told you it was real now at the time it had just hit. Oh because like I said so somewhere she's not on Twitter and stuff so she's just refreshing a

Chrome or Safari or something. There's definitely a woman who was rescued 20 miles away. She was clinging to a tree for hours. That was... Okay. Okay, that's what she read then. She said it was like miles away. All right. There was a lady. There was a lot of awesome recipe stories.

Okay, but it isn't one of two of the girls from the camp. But this like... That one was false. The two little girl miracle thing. that one I think was not. Well, I'm not going to tell her. She was so happy about the whole. Yeah, that's fine. So we, as a show, you really, we're donating some money.

And we're going to put that in the show notes. It's just from what the Dallas Morning News has, the general fun they have down there. Okay, cause I also saw a story indicating like some of the people there were like, hey, donate to something that's like already an established organization because there's a lot of scammy pop-up things

that are actually just trying to get you to donate. The uh- And they're pocketing trying to get you to donate the they're pocketing it I'm gonna trust which seems a little extra bad like if you are a you're a thief you're kind of bad and stuff right but all that that one looks a little like feels a little extra dirty yeah I don't know if this one count you know already established I mean it was just set up but it's just the Kerr County flood relief fun and I'm gonna trust the morning news on that one. And then move on, because that's really all you can do.

Quick hit here, you know we're obsessed with the operations that the law enforcement agencies carry out? Got a banger. This one went down back in March. Like the name of it? Yeah, the name of it. OK, yeah. I was disappointed the Bin Laden one didn't

have a really good name. You're right. What was it? I can't remember. It was like Eagle something. Yeah. It didn't seem cool and kick ass. So this one was an FBI operation targeting biker gangs

in Florida. This is out of the Jacksonville division. Have you ever heard of the biker gang, the Mongols? I don't think so. No, I feel like I'd heard it before from sons or something, but the Mongols is the name of a very prominent biker gang. And this was an operation to bust up the Mongols and some of their rivals. And the operation was Operation Mongolian Beef.

Okay. It's just, you just stand in awe. You're not gonna forget what the whole bit is. No, you are not. Let's see here. So I saw this story over the weekend. The city of Dallas passed a resolution to no longer enforce marijuana possession under two ounces, which means you were not going to be arrested for it. So you can just have a resolution which says, we're not going to do this law. There's a law, but they can just say, we're not going to do.

We don't care about that law. Well, I mean, in a sense, that's kind of what's happening at all these state levels, isn't it? I mean, there's a state law is making it legal, but marijuana is still a federally illegal drug. So, you know, I don't know how this is really all that different than a state and its relationship to the federal government being at a municipality

and their relationship to the state. You've always been very pro states' rights. It's a laboratory. Oh no, that's a different deal. Yeah, pro state, yeah. Sorry, I'm mixing up my platitudes. You said you'd go to war for states' rights. Yeah.

So, but it's the same deal where the city of Dallas passes this vote, 67% of people, to decriminalize less than, it's actually four ounces, and that also means that you can't use the- That's a lot. It's so much more than the average person thinks. People that vote on this stuff don't realize how much, like, as a former heavy pothead type of guy, like, four ounces, would that be a year of smoke?

I don't know. It's a lot. It's a ton. I mean, you're talking about, like, over $1,000, right? I mean, even in buying a bulk, $250 a zip, like- Oh, I was gonna say a couple thousand. I don't know, I've been out of the game, but- Yeah, anyway.

It's a lot, and it's enough to definitely emit odor, and they're saying also as part of this resolution, you can't use odor as probable cause, because that's how these things end up, you know, oh, I smelted, and they could say that after the fact, it disproportionately affects minorities, blah, blah, blah, exactly. Well, Ken Paxton immediately sued the city.

Ken Paxton, the... Cool, wouldn't it be cool if he had to use his own money to sue the city? You think he'd be a little more judicious on when to sue everybody? I don't know, I don't think he's great with his money either. So who does he sue? Like Eric Johnson? Yeah, I mean I don't know. Put them in a TIF. They're lovers. Eric Johnson probably not real thrilled with

the city of Dallas on this one. You know, he's a Republican. He is now. So yeah, we're kind of at a standstill here. And the last I saw, the city of Dallas was like, OK, well, then we, I think the way that it's written, basically, they can't stop police officers from enforcing it. So if a police officer says, hey, it's the law. Ken Paxton says it's the law, and I'm going to enforce it,

the city of Dallas can't stop a city employee from listening it's the law. Ken Paxton says it's the law, and I'm going to enforce it. The city of Dallas can't stop a city employee from listening to the state law, which seems like a really cohesive way to govern. Yeah, so even if he didn't sue. Whatever mom said last. Even if he didn't sue, the same bit. Like, if you're a cop that's just really anti-pot, you're. I believe actually the suit and the stay of that suit, this is part of it.

So I don't know, it's tricky. How much did Cavante Turpin have? They said that was less than two, but that's also Frisco. So less than two could be a joint. Frisco where so lesson to your account a cowboy borderline roster cuts go to die for the Frisco jail yeah or hots go to fight very true that's good fight we could watch it again anytime you want if there's a lull just play it I don't you can play it right now in fact you know what? This isn't a lull? Speaking of, no. Damn, that's great.

Who got this original video? The guy whooping and hollering. Yeah, there's a bunch of dudes watching. Hey, can you get her? Can you get Blue Green? That's what I meant to text you that over the weekend, but Can I get her like weekend on the show? Oh, I thought okay Yeah, I probably have a better chance getting around the show than I would like anyone involved, but she's clearly

Like our fighter. What's this goofy-ass dude doing trying to break it up? I don't know. These chicks don't need to be fighting. Yeah, I need one of these girls on. But yeah, preferably the enforcer. What do you think, Blake? I'll try. He's not even going to try.

Has Angelo spent any money? Not yet. OK. I'm almost thinking he forgot the pin code No, it has to have a pin. It's a debit card. That's okay. He'll text you right the second He tries what if you forgot my number? Well, then your life is improved But he's got it saved. No, then there's just a hundred dollars out there not being used like Bitcoin He just goes crazy. Did you see that we had Epstein news today, Dan?

Today? Yeah. It's that there's no news. So you may remember that when Trump got elected and it was Cash Patel at the FBI. By the way, what's going on with that guy's face? Is anybody else asking this question?

Yeah, he's got a resting mad face. I don't think it's a lazy eye, but anyways, so you've got Cash Patel and then you've got Pam Bondi, the Attorney General of the United States. Hey, we're gonna let you know all you need to, you've ever wanted to know about the financier, Jeffrey Epstein, all this files, the images, the black books, the names.

You know, because that's what they were writing on. They were the pizza gate. They had solved this pedo ring. Well, they put out a memo today, basically, that, hey, you know, there's really no evidence of a client list of associates that he had blackmailed. So, sorry. Nothing happened.

But that's, yeah, that's what they were all yelling about before, though, that. They like wrote it into Office. There definitely is something that everybody's been hiding from us. I still think there is. They had for a while been saying that the delay was because there were tens of thousands of videos within the files that obviously have minors, right? And it's like, okay, what does that mean? We don't want those. That shouldn't take any time. Just move those over there. Yeah, what we want to know

Was how many times Trump fucked a child That's all anybody wants to know and you're never gonna know that whether it happened or not, you know, it's And I want to know like this is just a new JFK Or they'll bullshit us about this for the next four decades And then when the time comes when you're allowed to release that, they'll delay that too. Yeah. That's all it is. Yeah. It's too bad. Yeah, I want to know if Clinton was doing it. I want to know if Bill Gates was doing it. I want to know if Trump was doing it. I want to know everybody. But the problem is all those people are going to be in power at certain different times. So

they all don't want you to know it. Yeah so yeah, I think there's people on both sides that are I Think there is a small chance that like do you know about RFK jr. Is a notebook when he was boning a lot? Yeah, isn't that how his ex-wife or somebody caught him because he was bragging about it in there Yeah, and then they had a peaceful divorce and he took care of her afterward She hung herself Hmm in the garage after she found out that he had had sex with like 200 women in a year and kept notes on How far and what act he did with all of them? Boy there's a

drive-by. ADD guy. Wait, what were we talking about before that? How did I get distracted by that, speaking of ADD? I don't know. It's a chem scan now, yeah? No, it wasn't. Oh, let's watch the girls fight again. Oh my God.

Which is the one that I wanna marry? None of you recall how we got to that point. I had a good point, but now it's gone and you guys are just so distracted by these parrots. You're the one who said. I did. I've introduced a monster. Henry's leaning over. Just lifting up ladies by their hair is amazing.

This is absolutely fascinating. I love a boob popping out and not even really clearing. She doesn't address it. Yeah. No. But she certainly will topple wearing those high heels. The girl in the blue is like three for three on her head. Yeah, she makes it count too.

OK, something, RFK. Where did you start? Oh, what was the beginning? The Trump thing. Trump, Epstein. The list or whatever. I think there's a chance with Bill Clinton that he has under lock and key with a trusted individual.

Like, hey, this can go out either when Hillary dies or when I die, Chelsea be damned. I think you might get like a here's everyone I nailed from Bill Clinton. Like a us because he's really into himself and I could see him wanting everyone to know like. Yeah but all these guys are like except Trump into the like what's my legacy. Maybe Trump is too. But what if like what's my what are people going to think of me in the future. Yeah that's true and maybe slick Willie wants it to be more about he could balance the budget on a notepad rather than him like posthumously

telling you like that's sex with the king of Saudi Arabia's wife or something. Yeah it's pretty good Clinton dude. It was not good. Oh I thought it was great. It was not good. Who Arnold? There's only one Arnold, bro. That's right. He's a Texas Rangers pitcher. That's right. Hall of Fame? Probably.

Of the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame variety? No. I think there was a conversation. Derek Holland? No. And does being anti-trans make it more likely? There's your news. Let's find out what happened today.

The dumb zone news. And then don't watch the news. Hey, let's do Today in History brought to us by FairLease.org. Where you could lease a vehicle, like do your car shopping, wherever you are right now. Yeah.

Bracket Dan is my Cliff Harris birthday. My leaders are Dan doing life things that are really easier for all involved, like Christmas present opening at noon

I think it's, you know, I'm a fan of Grego. Maybe more just his general disposition. I will tell you that when he replies to one of your tweets, and he will often quote tweet one of those tweets because He is of the ego maniacal variety that will do that. I Can't hear him it I'm subtweeting me there Uh, I can't hear anything other than Gordon doing 30 years old fake Greg go of just give you because this whole tweet is just reading like

You know, Dan, I remember the old Dan, the guy who would demand Major League Baseball teams have enough bobbleheads for every fan on that day. But I found myself patron number 76 at that Whataburger and I was denied my dumb zone tray and now I'm sad from Colin Pennington. That's right. Yeah, now Chuck Morgan is calling. Calling Dan out for all the years of attacks you've levied at Chuck. That's right. I agree we should have a dumb zone tray for everybody there

But then they wouldn't be collectible in limited edition and that was part of the deal Yeah, I want I want the thing you get to be so rare that you could sell it on eBay I remember hearing like and Chuck Morgan is super, super sweet, but obviously he's proud of his job. I remember hearing that he was pretty bothered by the Dan. Which thing? Oh, that? Yeah.

I just love that. I don't know why. It's kind of offhand comment. Guys all upset. Yeah, he's gotta defend the honor of the Rangers, I get it. And now that I'm a small business owner, I do realize the cost involved in a, if you're paying for them things yourself. Dear Dan, hope you had a great week off.

Okay, so today in history. Little on this day, Monday, July 7th. In 1976, the US Military Academy at West Point included female cadets for the first time. What year was that? Sure that went well. What year was that? Sure that went well. What would you guess? Give me slightly before Condoleezza Rice joins the Masters

at Augusta or the Augusta Country Club. I'll go like 1993. Okay. It's well before actually. Ladies were burning their bras in 1976. That wasn't a good era to be burning your bra. Like now, if they were doing it. Why, you just mean because of the committees back then? The committees were small, and yeah, just the, just the kempness of everything. I think they'd-

What does that have to do with titties? You just kind of let them go. Like you won't get them enhanced a little bit. That's true, but you know what? Sometimes when I see like old seventies titties, like it feels awesome. You know what I mean? Just, I mean, I was just a little kid.

I know, but it feels like listening to Fog Hat or something and being like, my dad loved this and I know it. Or watching a sacrifice bunt moving the runner over. Yeah, exactly. We have a real yay boo situation on this day in 2011. The yay is that Josh Hamilton said, I'm gonna throw this ball into the stands

for the fan that wants the ball. Generous. The boo is that fan was Shannon Stone. He was kind of drunk and he fell trying to catch the ball over the thing and died. But... The good news is... ...got a statue. ...that they put up a statue and everyone was very respectful about it.

Well... Respectfully loving their Lone Star beer and stacking them up all right on that statue. What he would have wanted. Of course. Boy, that's one thing I want to tell you. I want us to have a full gummy thought on what you would have wanted. I thought a lot about it. I learned about a guy who got killed by a drone while we were watching fireworks because the drone company that's real big is from North Richland Hills. They were on like America's Got Talent. One of their drones killed somebody and I started laughing super hard. My wife was

like that's fucked up and I'm like listen if die, and I'm sure you guys feel this way, like if it's a funny way, like talk about it like it's funny. And I guess you have to actually write that down. A drone fell on me. You guys aren't gonna laugh at that? Of course you are. RIP, Shannon Stone.

On this day in 2015, there's a mutual agreement. Subway says we've mutually agreed with Jared Fogel to suspend our relationship. Mutually. They both appear at the press conference. After his Jared's home was raided by federal and state investigators, he was found guilty eventually of one count each of distributing and receiving child porn and traveling to engage in illicit sexual contact with a child. I skipped that doc. I think I watched one episode maybe or a few minutes and you know when he got little kids. And on this day in 2016 Micah Johnson who was an army veteran who served in Afghanistan so that's good right that's a yay oh yeah but he then opens

fire on Dallas police killing five officers in I guess what he said is an act of vengeance for the fatal police shootings of black men the attack ended with Johnson being killed by a bomb delivered by a police robot. Are you okay? Are you doing all right? Yeah, I'm just choked up. You do look jacked. Yeah? Yeah. Thanks, bro. How do you like my head depth?

That looks good. I feel like it's perfect. He looks jacked. Like that shirt's gripping. But anyways. Police robot bomb death's pretty funny it is thank you game day men's health it is funny jack and me the problem is like it the key to something in wealth I think it's it's probably hard as a family to celebrate someone comically in a humorous mode if they've killed police officers. How he got there, definitely not funny, but.

So the whole, so child porn also, like we're finding your levels. Right. New Jay doesn't find these two things funny. Well, this is what took Luca Day away, really. It really is. And I thought Luca Day was tomorrow, but it was yesterday. Oh it was yesterday? Mm-hmm. I thought it was tomorrow No, because as I said, is it still celebrated? Or is it on let day? Yeah, what did we do yesterday?

You couldn't feel the the energy? No. In the air? So in LA it could be 7-7 Yeah, unless like Rodney King did something. I don't know. They got a lot of stuff going on out there. We had so little that we immediately gave him a day. Couple interesting weddings on this day in 2007. Ava Longoria marries Tony Parker. Is the LA traffic thing real?

Like the ice thing? Yeah. It looks real. No. Why are you guys leaving everything on Twitter? I'm talking about the part going on right now. They were saying, like, he's seen pictures that say, look, there's no traffic anymore.

There's no more traffic. Oh. They've ordered everybody. Yeah, like Sunday at two or whatever. Yeah, okay, yeah. I thought you were talking about what I'm watching right now, which is a raid on the freeway. Just stop looking at Twitter for any political stuff, dude.

It's gonna be all over the place. I don't know about that, but I see it. Just believe what you think is right. It's all that matters. There's no traffic in LA anymore. You know why? It's funnier to be that way. Get rid of all the Mexicans. Oh, look at them. Oh, yeah.

So OK, weddings on this day. We also have 2001, Drew Barrymore marries Tom Green. And on this day in 1946, and you just wonder, how big were they? He was 21 years old. She was 18. She is Rosalyn Smith. She marries Jimmy Carter, who would in the future be president. Yeah, is it Benjamin Button? Were they huge then? Yeah, were they? But they shrunk to this incredibly small form. Their final form was very small.

They lived in a little dollhouse. All the work, all the generosity, is the service. And it's, remember when it looked like he was in fake Dr. Joe Biden's hand? I love that picture. Celebrity birthdays today include former Ranger Nathaniel Lowe, 30. Former Ranger-

This is better than Jake Berger. Right now it's looking that way. Former Ranger and former Indian Glenn Barker, 70. Through a perfect game, folks. I could have seen it. I did see it on TV. May 15th. Former Ranger, Brandon McCarthy is 42. I had something in common with him. Do you guys remember? I'm pretty sure he was the one that we had him on the show and he was a guy who would wake up at 2 p.m. On a Saturday

Or whatever like he just loved to wake up late sleep forever That you hang out man used to be me Chuck Knobloch is 57 or As Caitlin would say no block, but she didn't know what she's talking about And it says here Kemp spin. It's just the Obermann mom thing. Throwing the ball and hitting her in the face. Yeah, very funny. No, I thought he got arrested in Houston for beating his wife too.

Nice, we have a challenger has entered the arena. Well, he's an Aggie, so. Oh, is he? I never knew that. Yeah. What are you? An Aggie. Oh, okay, so you're...

Airing dirty laundry, yeah. Yeah, I thought you you want to hide that. Yeah. All right this guy I'm about to mention had a had a sideline incident and see if you can uh if you can tell me Jake. A 51 year old Diallo Burks. 51 year old Diallo Burks. Ha ha ha! He's one of the classiest guys we've got on the team! I think you're gonna be suspended for making a bogus phone call like that. He put a pitchfork into a guy's mom on the sideline. Yeah.

You wanna play that audio? If I can find it. Chase Claypool is 27 and announced to the league that he's working out, ready to roll. Never really recovered from that first down celebration. Where was that? Pittsburgh was losing to Minnesota, I think, and they needed a touchdown. 40 seconds left. He catches a pass over the middle. He's tackled.

And instead of giving the ball to the ref to get it spiked, he signals first down with it. Very rough. He's traded pretty soon after that. Yeah, I can't help you guys. I really liked him. You know? He's not in here. Him, sweaty Jen Olson guy calling Norm and telling him he's gay is in here, but...

Yeah, that's weird. Dolebrooks, one of the classiest guys... Did you search Coach Joe? I did. Oh, you did? I did. Oh, because I searched it and I found it right here. I have said to you guys before, there's some sort of dropbox sinking issue

To argue about it now, so you're just saying it's not your fault Are we done Jesus with what? the show I Don't know if it's my fault or not. Those are some UFC style punches when they're on the ground right there. That one right there, yeah, that does feel, it always feels very toddler-y, like, ah! Yeah, yeah, it does. Yeah.

Oh man, that's two minutes. I don't know if I can do that. It's worth it. You think? I do. It's, I think it's one of the more underrated pieces of ticket audio. Okay, this is when Coach Joe was doing a call-in show years ago.

Hey, good to be with you. First time, long time. Made it out to the game this weekend, took my elderly mother and two brothers. Should we note this is arena football? This was my dad away a while ago. So now, I guess that's for another time and another place. But anyway, I'm kind of the patriarch in the family now. And I was really amazed. You really can go out and experience some marina football for a family of four for under $100.

You can't go to any other sporting event in town for that, can you? Oh no, you sure can. Now, very important for the prank phone caller, you have sucked him in now. You've given him some compliments. You're saying something good about the organization, and... They're a free spot. They're now at ease with you, and they don't...they're not going to feel it coming. And I wanted to make a comment about...I think his name's Diallo Burge, the wide receiver. Correct. Number 88. The other number 88.

Exactly. We made it down close to the field uh... before the game started about that time i thought it uh... uh... of the end or so i went over there you know but my elderly mother went down i get to get his autograph she's real intrigued by you know all the football players right now but i'm sure i'll be in a co-op in uh... i had a little problem with the all of our problem of the pettingy So I'm turning around getting a Coke and I had a little problem with Diallo Burks. I don't know if he's had any problem with him on the team, but I turned around and damned if he hasn't shoved a pitchfork right in her side. And I had no idea what was going on.

Of course, I rescued her. We had to take her to the hospital after that, but I was just shocked by his play. And I was wondering if he had possibly been suspended or anything for that type of action. Well I think he should be. All right now before we get to his answer, the incredible thing here is the guy doing the prank expected I'm gonna get cut off right after that and he can't believe he's still talking. Yeah. So he's like well then I took her to the hospital and then I'm wondering what your comment. That's the point where the boardop or whoever's supposed to hang up on the guy right away.

And then Coach Joe can be like, oh, this prankster, this is terrible and whatnot. But he didn't do that and more power to that boardop. That's so great that they didn't. But Coach Joe's response is also very funny. And you know I had no idea what was going on. Of course I rescued her. Of course I rescued her. I mean she's dying. Pitchfork wound. What did you think? I was just gonna finish the Coke?

The hospital after that. But I was just by it why you know wondering if uh... he had probably been suspended or anything for that type of action well i think you should be suspended for calling in and given such a such a bogus conversation yellowburg is one of the classiest guy i love it and i like that if you were to list one three fifty all the guys who would stick a pitchfork into anybody,

that guy's right at the bottom. Josh White, Will Pettis, these guys, lacking in moral fiber and constantly carrying pitchforks. But Diallo Burks, I say that to myself all the time, I think you should be suspended. The bogus conversation. Has anyone got suspended for calling into a radio show ever? I tried to get Mike and Duncanville banned. Other birthdays today. Ralph Sampson is 65. Joe Sackick, 56.

Well, like they introduce him to Mike and Mike doesn't know he's not a kid. So he's like messing with him and his face and he's rubbing on him and picking him up and hold him upside down

I remember Luca meeting him also very funny. Yeah, but yeah, they kind of had to tell Mike like this dude's 40 Okay, apparently he's only like 22 is he yeah, he's at least an adult Okay, that's a good one. You're right. And then the other one I got is the birdman Chris Anderson. That's good. Yeah. He was awesome. I have a Kim spin for that. No way. And it's, you know, these guys got crazy hair, crazy tattoos. I saw a TikTok, you know, they do the TikTok mixtapes of like spare players. I saw a birdman one the other day that made me so happy. Fun player, but he, he got like,

maybe catfished, but it was by like an underage girl. He was on Dateline. And he was, while in the NBA, I think flirting with a maybe non-existent high schooler. What do you got Blake, anything? Yeah, I'm just writing, Chris Anderson on the list. So he was the Manti-Tail of the NBA?

What? He was the Manti-Tail of the NBA? It was something kind of like that, let's see. Yeah, ABC News has it, it was a catfishing scheme out of Canada. Oh, that is right. Yeah, it was, okay. Yeah, he thought he was talking to some girl in Canada

and she ended up being like, you know, not the person that he was, thought he was talking to. Yep. It's a tough one. But our birthday of the day, Ringo Starr, 85. We know his drummer. Will George text him? Do you think George still has his number?

I think he has a number. Like not his personally? Like his people or something. Like the thing is Ringo Starr would recognize Jorts if he saw him in person. Right. I think you were the drummer for my band. They took the tour. Yeah. Born on this day now dead Robert A. Heinlein science fiction writer Satch Paige, who probably wasn't really good friends with Larry Robinson. And Otto Rowe-wetter. He invented the bread slicing machine. Hero.

I think before you used to just have a knife and you'd just have to do each one individually. Now this is a machine. Okay. I know that's what you were asking. Like what'd they do? Just rip it apart with their hands? Well because people always say like the greatest thing since sliced bread and I always thought that sounded funny to me because if you handed me a loaf of bread I pretty quickly would

figure the slice thing out. You know, I'd open it. Like just the bread. I'd be like, all right, well, I can do something here. But it seems like the phrase should be the greatest thing since such and such as invention, whatever his name is. And we have, uh, dead on this day, still dead. In 1865, Mary Surratt, the first woman executed by the U.S. government. Tell my daughters that you two could be executed. She apparently was part of the plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln. So they hung her by her neck. Probably in public, right? Oh, yeah. And then they hung her by her neck Probably in public right? Oh, yeah

And then they left her hanging there for all to see just in case you were thinking about doing something Yeah, probably not actually when did we stop that Oddly enough. I feel like they probably did leave the male bodies and probably didn't leave the female bodies. Oh they probably did leave the male bodies and probably didn't leave the female bodies. Oh, cuz necrophilia? I mean I don't know that it was a huge concern but it was at least out there. And died on the stay in 2006 Sid Barrett he was an original Pink Floyd guy.

remarks. You weren't here for closing remarks when Jake was here, so what do you want to tell Jake? Yeah, so last time we discussed my older Brazilian wife. We covered that. She's 16 years older than me. Holy... Weren't we discussing whether or not I could handle that? Yeah. Oh, that's you? Yeah, at the Cowboy Stream. Fantastic.

We were kinda talking about the Latina that can be kind of domineering, you know. So there was a topic that happened to me this weekend that I was like, this would be perfect to bring to the show, but she 86'd that, so I'm sure you guys have those power stations in your life. Oh, you don't tell us that. You can't say that.

You don't tell us that. I know, it was gonna be juicy. You didn't, you don't. I'm gonna pick a different one. That's what you're dealing with. She makes the rules. Yeah, yeah. You can't handle this.

He just said, okay. Yeah, you gonna fall in line? How do you meet this lady? Yeah, she won't even watch this either, but yeah, it's like your problem. If it gets back to her, I'll be in deep shit, you know? Yeah. So yeah, to Dan's question.

She was my first boss at a college at where I work. So how old are you? 36. At the time. 23. Well, I started like 20, 23, yeah. So 23 and like 38. She's like 39, 38.

Yeah, 38, something like that, yeah. Damn. Yeah. Unbelievable. And you're like, I got a hot boss. Yeah. With an accent, Brazilian accent. And did you start dating her while she's your boss?

No, so I was like. And if he did, he ain't about to tell you. I was a temp for like a year and then got hired full time. So typically, we would go to like some on the border or something lame for like a lunch or dinner, you know. So I had a good buddy that I worked with. I told him, hey, go tell Raquel I don't want to go there. Let's go to Fox and Howe and the old one in Fort worth, you know?

So he tells her, change the plans. She sends out the group email. We go downtown, start drinking. My parents come in there. I grew up in flower mound. They just drive down and we're all drinking and partying. My dad's like, your boss is like really into you. And I'm like, yeah, watch this.

And then the rest is history. I love it. Yeah. Did that help you get like a better pay raise or pay rate? No, it was a different role. I was, it was not under her anymore, you know, but she still works there. I still work there. So different, different areas, but been there for like 15 years. So no problem.

You're still there. Yeah. Okay. So she she's still above me in like ranking you know. How so you started dating then and how long till you get married? We got married really late so we had a daughter she's eight but out of wedlock? Oh yeah. Unbelievable. We were living in total sin, Dan, total sin. And then we got married like three years ago, four years ago, I should get that right, I don't know, couple years ago. Why?

I don't know, she wasn't pressuring it at all, that's why it took forever, I just. You're just like, whatever, this is all going great? Yeah, yeah. Like wouldn't you be worried. I wanted to do it, yeah. You wanted to get married? Yeah. Because I would be worried that, hey, this is all going great? Yeah. Wouldn't you be worried? I wanted to do it, yeah. You wanted to get married? Yeah.

Because I would be worried that, hey, this is going well. If we actually do something official, we'll break up a month from now. Yeah, but as you said, the wedding doesn't change things. Marriage doesn't change things. They already had a kid. Kids change things. So really, you're just getting a big thing?

No, that was a concern. It did not help on taxes. So kind of wish we would have not got married. Wow, you always would think it's the other way around. Yeah. Yeah. We definitely save whenever we started filing jointly.

Like, for sure. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He's saying no go. Not for us. Not for us. But no, it's been great, but that was a concern. My brother was advising me against it.

Like, yeah, don't ruin a good thing, right? But now we've been together forever. We don't need a piece of paper to say our love is real. Our love transcends, man. Yeah. So. Do you wear a ring now, cause she makes you? I do wear a ring, you know, or not that abnormal.

Just went out in a backwards way. So yeah, that's that topic I was just gonna say that you know love your shows love to see the growth over the last couple years you guys are doing fantastic and then Brendan Aubrey man met him at your DZGSE and an authentically good dude was talking to my wife he had done like two weeks when he was doing soccer down in Sao Paulo, that's where my wife's from, so she got to chatting

with him about that and just an amazing guy. And really relatable and genuinely great. So not a Cowboys fan, but maybe because of him I'll become one. Who's your squad? Packers. Yeah, I don't know. Who's your squad? Packers. Yeah, I don't know, it's tough to get mad at. But I wanna go back to something on your family dynamic.

Sure. You mentioned to me, so you guys have a child that's now eight, but you also have two step-sons that are college age. And I imagine these are Brazilian step-sons. Yep. So, if you try to play out the most embarrassing situations you could find yourself in in life,

you've gotten huge big up, right? Like, credit, you're dating a Brazilian lady who's 16 years older than you who's a boss. But there's no way that your Stepsons are not so much cooler than you that it's like embarrassing. They're 20 year old Brazilians. Yeah. Like there's no way they listen to you, do they?

You're not like a father figure. So, I- Or are you? I helped raise them. Their dad lived, he moved back to Brazil. So it was like pretty distant for them. So they mostly grew up in our house, but they went back and forth for a little while.

Does he hate you? No, he's up here right now. We had dinner together last night. No, no, no. Everything's good there. And so now the boys, they're, they're good. They're good kids. So it's hard to, it's hard to, they're not trying to one-up me, it's hard to one-up, I think, you know? But yeah, you wouldn't know they're Brazilian, they're native speakers in both languages and dual citizens now, but. That's cool is what that is.

Yeah, yeah. It's very cool. Yeah. I just don't, I think, so he's, imagine right now, Dan, he's three years younger than I am, imagine right now all of a sudden I have two 18 and 20 year old Brazilians step-sons. Yeah, I met them when they were like six and eight. That's true, I forgot you guys have been together.

So I'd say I'm more like an uncle, a gear to them, you know? Like when mom or dad are like on their ass, I'd be like, it's not that big of a deal, or you know, I can kind of relate more with them, keep up with what's going on with them. But. You know Portuguese?

I know a little bit. I can understand a good amount, but it's definitely harder to speak it. But yeah, I can follow a conversation for sure. You never been to Brazil, Jake? I've not, would like to go. So I imagine you've been a lot. I now have somebody I can consult with yeah, it's fantastic
