The preceding and the following content are brought to you by No Puppet Productions and

Died on this day, still dead.
You have Pete Conrad.
Anyone here?
Raise your hand if you know who Pete Conrad is.
Incredible.
Did he walk on the moon?
He's the third man to walk on the moon.
Third?
Not even these guys.
Right after Buzz.
Like the, like.
The next one.
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
Alright, it is Tuesday.
Right?
Yessir.
Yeah.
And we are broadcasting on the moon.
And we are broadcasting on the moon.
And we are broadcasting on the moon.
And we are broadcasting on the moon.
And we are broadcasting on the moon.
And we are broadcasting on the moon.
And we are broadcasting on the moon.
And we are broadcasting on the moon. And we are broadcasting on the moon. And we are broadcasting on the moon. And we are broadcasting on. Yeah. And we are broadcasting live to tape
not from our Game Day Men's Health studios in downtown Dallas. Can you still
get 10% off TRT for life with Game Day Men's Health if you mentioned the dumb
zone or did they discontinue that?
Offer was still good when I went this morning. Oh you did? I did I did not make it in yesterday afternoon But I went in there this morning showed Liz my buns got 10% off and we're going in tomorrow for a little filming right?
We are. Are we not allowed to say that? It's a secret mission.
I texted with Dave this morning about peptides
What is peptide?
the future morning about peptides. What is peptide? The future. Anyway, where we are, not the
Game Day Men's Health Studio, we're in Frisco. And we're at Whataburger in Frisco.
Now what you need to know is Frisco, big place. Very. And there's more than one
Whataburger. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's not just that there's more than one Whataburger.
Well, you don't have to get defensive yet.
But this does... this is a good day for you.
And I'm going to explain why. Listen, I already know what you're gonna tell me.
You're gonna talk to me like you're my dad and say, oh, the guy who doesn't think you have to get the address
and just puts it in his phone.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
What I was going to say is, you've talked before about,
because I'll be like, boy, rehab, prehab Jake
would have done this, this, and this.
And you were like, actually, I'm kind of a fuck up.
Right?
Yeah.
And so, yeah, when Jake calls me this morning and he's like,
oh, I'm at this other water burger, I'm going to be like 10 minutes late.
And I was thinking, this is prehab Jake.
Do you remember that, Blake?
Do you remember? Oh, I can't find
like this really obvious place that we've promoted for weeks,
that we've said the address, we've said El Dorado and the tollway.
El Dorado and the tollway. El Dorado and the tollway.
It is important to note the other water burger
is on El Dorado, but that second part.
But the tollway's right there.
I don't know.
But the point is-
Like you had to come up the tollway,
did you drive El Dorado, circumnavigate El Dorado?
I don't know, I wasn't paying attention, man.
I'm an airhead.
But these people made it here.
So what I'm saying is this is not really a compliment for you.
It's more of a compliment for prehab Jake.
Like, I'm sorry, buddy.
I'm sorry I thought it was just you being a sloppy.
OK, let's cut the bull.
This is the best day of my life.
Straight up.
This is at least the best moment of my life.
Walking in the door here at the Waterburger, the tollway in El Dorado.
He got a big applause.
It was insane.
Jake got a standing ovation.
I walked in and one guy came up and fist bumped me.
You want a live name rating?
He's like, when's Jake going to be here?
I was going to give these people in line a live kid name rating.
She doesn't really seem into it.
She's there for him.
I did show up at the other Waterburger and was pretty concerned.
There were two or three cars there and it was 11-10. Now we're concerned on the
other way where
are we going to run out of these things? We're going to absolutely run out.
So what these things are is,
and we'll get to our sports and Blake promises comedy today,
but we have the launch of the exclusive
Whataburger slash dumb zone collectible car tray. This all stems from... I got an
email a couple weeks ago from a guy, like a birthday email.
See you, doc.
And the guy.
That guy's a doctor?
Yeah.
He's not allowed to be that tall.
It's not racist at all, but that guy knows NEMA.
Like a Jill Biden doctor?
No, no, no.
Indians don't become fake doctors.
That's pretty exclusively.
Oh, is that your kid's head, doc? No. Turns out there's a pretty exclusively a oh is that the your kids head doc?
No, it turns out there's a lot of them. I met my kids head doc. Oh gosh. Sorry not Neema
Damn that might have been like racist, but probably not well we keep coming up doctors here. I can't be racist
So yes, Jeremy emailed a few weeks ago about his birthday And he said oh, yeah
I'm I claim to fame as being the one to tell up Jake about the car tray in a tweet from October 2017
So luckily Jeremy
Tweets kind of like me, and it was very easy to scroll back and see his Twitter
And I put it out there today
Went and found it from 2017. Yeah, the original car trade tweets
Where he was we must have been just talking about lunch
Well, I don't want to belabor this whole thing, but there was a weird deal where Bob
Bob was somehow saying that I claim I invented lunch
It was really weird. I don't know what I don't even know how it started, but there was a time where I was in my car a lot.
Like I was doing three or four jobs all over the Metroplex and I was also dating my wife
and at times trying to avoid eating her food at home.
So I was eating a lot of fast food in my car, which is messy.
I don't like sitting personally.
If I go to a water burger, I'm going to get the food food in my car. Which is messy.
I don't like sitting personally.
If I go to a water burger, I'm going to get the food
and eat it in my car.
I like to listen to my radio, my pace, my temperature.
So this guy sends me this tray.
I bought one for like $15 on Amazon.
And I really honestly wish we could get the Amazon Analytics
because there's probably been 500 of them
purchased off the strength of Jeremy's tweet to me.
And what it really is, the Cartray,
it's about a lifestyle because we're all fast paced.
You're moving around.
It's kind of like a water burger.
You're on the go.
But when it's time to slow down and appreciate
the finer things in life, you need to be able
to do that.
I don't want to eat my water burger messily in a hurry.
I want to spread out my sides, my sauces, my accoutrement and enjoy that moment that
feels like home.
Then the tray pops off and I'm back out into the world.
This is going to change people's lives.
So yeah, so we fast forward then to 2025. Is that when we first met? Hey, it's a lady.
Travis and the guys from Whataburger. It might have been last year, but. Well, we were in a meeting with them
and it was kind of a brainstorming thing and they said maybe we'll have you guys out for,
you know, a remote or something and but maybe we could do something together we could collab.
Lincoln build. This is how this is what we're doing on Business Wednesday folks.
This was like a Wednesday wasn't it? Of course. A Wednesday morning or lunchtime
and we met him at a Whataburger actually it was on El Dorado. It was
interestingly enough yeah. There's more than one of them and it was not this one and
Yeah, that was your idea of course to say I could marry two of my loves here
Yeah, could you imagine if we had a water burger?
Car tray and all credit goes to water burger because they love bits and they said what do you have a like a item or a bit?
Yeah, something that would relate to your program I said I got a moose and they're
like no that probably wouldn't work yeah moose ears a cease and desist letter
branded with the water burger 75th anniversary logo all right they do a bit
pick up your keys please don't leave your keys. She's just dead.
You're going to lose them.
Look at the bits they have.
They have a one of her big giant.
That's like a turnover chain.
If somebody makes a great point, they should get that.
All right, let's bring this to the studio.
This appears to be.
To the Game Day Men's Health Studio, I should say.
So yeah, the people showed up big time.
I see Travis from Community Mechanical here. He's buying people lunch.
Multiple Collins. Oh yes, Travis from Community Mechanical is here and he is a
brilliant marketer of Community Mechanical, our HVAC company, because he
will glom onto our bits and but he said he'll show up here and if you are if you're doing preventive maintenance with community mechanical
He'll buy you lunch
Wow, so what a he's not only like doing you a favor with making sure your house regular Jerry Jones over here as air-conditioning
Yeah, and it's not
easy to miss Travis from Community Mechanical,
because he's like the biggest guy here.
He is.
So look for the mountain when you walk in
and ask him to buy you lunch.
Demand he buys you lunch.
Push him up against the wall.
What do you think the staff of Waterburger thinks of this?
Just happy there's a rush or are they confused?
I feel like maybe they should get a tray.
The staff people should get a tray?
Yeah, well, that's for Waterburger brass to worry about.
You just have to worry about, you know, are people here?
So are all the trays gone?
Oh, TC is not.
I think we're trying to get more.
Oh, we're locating some more.
We've run through the first 75.
Why don't you just come over here
and put a headset on rather than,
I feel like I'm on.
Don't say they're gone.
And she's like mouthing words.
I'm like, I don't, what are we doing?
O'Reilly factor?
Come on over here.
Mike right there.
She'll say the wrong thing here.
Yeah.
Hey everybody, it's Jasmine.
Jasmine, yeah.
Oh, hi.
Hi.
My dreams have come true.
Or maybe Travis can help us.
What's the story?
The story is we want you to come out and eat with you.
Yeah.
And hang and watch the show.
Okay.
And we may or may not have some more countries.'s not the answer. I'm looking for at all
If we don't have them we should tell people that's it's all good
Yeah, we do that, but we've given away the first 75 people if we do have a few more we can
Find them, but the point is okay. We want you to come on out to what a burger at the tollway
Very important. It's the tollway. Yeah, get on the toll right Oh Jake went to the wrong one. Oh
Is he had a relapse?
Yeah, he had a relapse he told me to start talking so is there really a wrong water burger though
Right. No there is today
Today, this is the better one, for sure.
No, it's good times out here.
What do they want people to have?
The Prickly Pear Raspberry Lemonade thing?
Yes.
Oh, can I get one of those?
What is Henry doing?
Getting me a lemonade.
I don't know.
OK, so here's the situation.
Henry, get me an ice water, please.
What, just laughing at your face?
Yeah, look at him.
He's going to go sit back down.
Big water with no ice. Thank you.
It's that way.
Yeah, you sit down.
So we did give away 150 of them.
I said please.
And we're under the impression there's maybe 15 or 20 people who are here that didn't get one.
Some people may have already left.
But if you're here and you want one, it may take an hour, but we can get them here.
Alright. I say we get them here. hour, but we can get them here. All right.
I say we get them here.
Yeah, I say we get them here.
Okay.
Stay, eat lunch, and then you'll get it.
Okay, there you go.
We'll get the rest of the trays here.
Feels like most people are...
Dan, why did you make Travis get your water?
Thank you, sir.
Yeah, I sent the intern.
That's a tough look for Henry.
I think Henry thinks he has to go in line and order...
Let's move on. If you need a tray, come grab one.
And if you're here, hang out and we'll get you one.
Have you had one of these prickly pears yet?
I have.
They're amazing. They're my new lake and pool drink.
I can baby bird it to you if you want.
Okay, you want to...
Swap.
Want to get into some stuff?
Yeah, let's get into some stuff you want to do some sports I do
Have any other non-spot probably do later today. We'll have our monthly business review with Jake
Excuse me with Blake, but you'll be here
Jake can do it. Oh
Can I do a
Oh, can I do a
It's not a funny thing but it's about the Texas floods and it's a maybe it's a bad bit
It's something that bothers me about it
But this was the other day the morning news
put out an article
and it's a
So the headline of the article is
Troy Aikman, Texas sports teams react to deadly flood
at Guadalupe River.
And so I'm very excited to click on this. What might they be saying?
I love this art, yeah, Troy Aikman, is he ripping? Yeah, so you have to click and see. Why camping sucks anyway?
They're making it sound like, let's blame the campers. They're making it sound like the Stars official account was gonna tweet out like
Kim trail or cloud seeding theories about like I don't know. Right no the stars actually the stars
did tweet out we support the introduction of legislation to prevent government weather modification and
Geo engineering following the Texas floods
The Cowboys tweeted maybe Elon shouldn't have fired over 600 national weather service workers who predict and warn us about storms and floods
The Rangers tweeted standard thoughts and prayers and the Mavs tweeted a picture of Cooper flag working out in order to try to make us forget about Luca but I'm not buying it. Yeah okay I like that so what
about Troy? Yeah I didn't actually click on the article I got too excited. Click
here to find out. Yeah but since you've already mentioned that. What?
Waterburger is selling collectible cups for just two bucks and all proceeds will go to the Kerrville disaster relief.
Oh, okay cups for Kerrville. There's another reason to come out here today. Why don't you do that?
Why don't we buy a bunch of them and give them out?
We'll do that. How about that?
So I have a couple sports things for you while we were gone the Stars hired a new head coach Glenn Gullitzen
This is only important because I have a history with him. He doesn't know that
But I used to be the board off for the Stars postgame show when he was the coach
ten plus years ago and
You know this one I was even more full of piss and vinegar and
I thought he was awful. He was a boring interview
He was a boring press
conference and a lot of times I had to run his press conferences in like hour
13 of my shift after a West Coast game and I couldn't stand the guy. Couldn't
stand the way he looked. To me he's the opposite of Hitch. With Hitch you look at
him and you're like okay this guy's fat. He wasn't able to play but clearly he
knows his stuff. That's how he was able to get here. Glenn Gullitzen just looks like a guy, sounds like a guy, wasn't
really more than a guy as a player and I couldn't stand him and I started telling
Bob I think I could kick this guy's ass and it really bothered Bob don't know
why other than it stars and he's back now they're trying to sell it obviously as he's ready now
you know he was just too early before he was he was not ready for the NHL bench
all the while they're clearly still paying Pete DeBoer their owner has
expressed no interest in paying two coaches at once so one I want to fight
the guy for charity for Kerrville if you'll do it
And two it doesn't seem like a step forward
at all
No and I actually I wanted to
do a
stars coaching higher mention before we went on break and
It was going to be laughing at I believe I don't know if it was the owner or the GM who said
We're we're like heading into this coaching search. We're not looking for retreads
Would you just open up the dictionary and go to R but no sir?
But no retread would to me that meant
We're looking cheap. We're looking new. You've never heard of this guy.
We're not looking for another Pete DeBoer, because that's a little cost.
Pretty expensive signing.
Think, I don't know, maybe
is there an analogy in other local sports teams
who had a pretty expensive coach who had a lot of skins on the wall
and he just hired somebody that nobody else was looking at.
Oh yeah, little Brian Schottenheimer-ish.
So.
Yeah.
But then to see they actually do hire a retread,
Buddy also fits into Columet.
Nobody's really after him.
Neither of the good parts.
Nobody was going to give him a head coaching position.
Buddy knows like, the thing is,
you don't have to really tell him how to get to the arena.
Very important.
The parking, you know.
He knows how to use the company card.
I bet this water burger, not here.
Already got his seat on the plane.
Just a field.
Yeah.
When Gulley was here before.
And then I have, this can get us into some of your audio.
Much like books, I'm quitting the Rangers after last night. It's time. What happened?
Why such a quitter now?
They got walked off again, and I tried to get their team homer Jared Sandler to say their
Breakthroughs right around the corner yesterday, and he's like no
They played four straight extra inning games lost three of them. That sounds like you're on the verge. You're in extra innings.
And it's funny because the first night it happened when we were on vacation,
I was walking around the house going, free baseball! Annoying everyone.
And then it happened the next night and my chant wasn't as loud.
And then it happened the next night and that free baseball.
It's just a whimper.
They're getting a historic season from DeGrom and they're not worth our time.
I quit. Totally quit.
Rangers, you fight.
Last September 11th, you started quitting everything. Yep.
Quit that, quit books.
I'm too into football right now to watch this spare-ass baseball team.
How are we into football yet?
Just thinking about it.
It's like July, okay yeah. I kind of am too.
I was just thinking about it a lot. The quarterback on the Netflix is about to drop, or if it hasn't already.
This morning I took a swim through the NFC East just to kind of feel some of the off-season moves,
look at what the other teams have done. I forgot Debo Samuel is on.
Yeah, he's fat and slow now.
Maybe, I probably didn't forget, but Stephon
on the Patriots, that was a nice reminder this morning
when I was doing some Trayvon research.
Well, they're not in the NFC East.
No, no, I just mean going through surprises.
No, did you remember that Jameis is in our division now?
I did.
Yeah.
In the most
Quarterback room of all time what the hell Ross yeah
Yeah, and like what is what are the Giants doing and then on Twitter yesterday our good friend?
Bobby strupe the trainer for Patrick Mahomes apparently some some Kansas City
podcast or for radio hosts went on some rant calling Patrick fat. And Bobby's gonna do what Bobby does.
So that turned into an all day affair
that me and some of the boys just,
what do you think he'll do here?
So look at him now.
The guy tweeted a picture of Mahomes with no shirt on
and it's just not what you would think of an NFL quarterback.
And then-
That's the off season, bud.
Bobby began the conversation was, send me your location. Yeah. Yeah. And then- That's the off season, bud. Bobby began the conversation with, send me your location.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He stays busy, man.
Yeah.
I wonder if Mahomes, like, because famously Brady had that picture at the combine, right?
Yeah.
Where he's kind of like just regular guy.
And then he became Brady because he started you know eating like a maniac and all that
What do you know about my homes and his nutrition and all that way different is it yeah?
No, I'm not saying it's not he won't be 45 and playing I
I
Don't if he does yeah, I would bet against it. Yeah, it's up to him
Yeah, and also like I don't I just don't know his body. He needs to be a little bit bigger. I feel like yeah, but
Yeah, I don't know. I don't think he's... Because that's what the guy brought up. He was like, well Brady, whenever he got serious about it or...
You know, most of the greats this guy was saying took their fitness seriously.
But that's... it's actually not all that true.
Right? I mean I don't know that anybody looked at Brett Favre. you're like, he's working out, but he wasn't chiseled.
No, no, no.
Peyton.
Right.
So, that was a fun offseason fight there.
I'm very interested by this gentleman
in the parking lot.
What do we have?
He's walking around. Is that?
Okay.
Can't see him.
Do you guys remember the listener of the ticket
who would go by Rowdy?
I think that's him.
OK.
Anyways, let's move on.
OK.
You had us all turn around and look out
into the parking lot.
I think we might have a prize.
Remember we used to talk about prize pigs?
Uh-huh.
Like every time we'd do a remote,
there were people that just showed up for prizes.
Yeah.
I think that guy was one of them and
The lead up to this we were like what about prize pigs and we thought no way
Are you happy that we have a prize kind of like have we made it?
It feels like validation we're on the list a bit or at least that we have cool prizes
But the other thing to get you less than jacked about the Rangers was this Kevin Pilar interview, comments, retirement.
Yeah, Kevin Pilar was on a podcast.
He had some things to say about the current Rangers,
because he was released by the Rangers earlier this year.
Yeah.
Would you say yeah?
Yeah.
DFA?
Yep.
Because he was on this podcast.
One was to announce his retirement, which was kind of funny.
Like you and he did a little moaning about.
Which I kind of find funny.
So what do you think of this?
He did a little moaning, light moaning about how he's it's not.
Cool, like if the team doesn't tell you the day before
and then let you start a game and know this is your last game.
If you're Kevin Pilar, you're probably being given a gift
even to be signed this year by the Rangers.
Yeah.
It isn't like he was tearing it up.
You know what, I don't know.
I don't know what the norm or the protocol is.
Like, are you doing it to be mean? Could you have done it a different way? I don't know, so I don't know. I don't know what the norm or the protocol is like are you doing it to be mean?
Could you have done it a different way? I don't know so I can't say yeah, well
They could have also like thought well, maybe some other team will pick him up is
every team at the end of a journeyman's contract supposed to like
Make sure you call your friends and you get your family at this game
We just want to make sure you're in a good place, Kevin Polo.
Yeah. As we paid you three and a half million this year to kind of really suck.
And we're releasing you here in June.
It's a little rich.
Anyway, that was a little part of his thing.
And then he had some things just to say about the Rangers in general
and what it was like joining this year's team.
And. Some people would have this all queued up and ready to roll. Some people would make fun
of that person if they didn't. But not me. But not me. I wouldn't do either of this.
I wouldn't do either. Here is Kevin Pilar and we can stop and start if you want.
I thought they would be a little bit tighter as a group. I thought it would be
like,
you know, kind of like my experience in Atlanta. That was probably one of the tightest groups since
you know, I was in Toronto. It's like everyone just, you know, pulled on the same rope. Everyone
wanted to hang out. Everyone wanted to do everything together, everyone. You know, winning was the most important thing every day.
And, uh, you, when I got in the clubhouse in Texas, there was a, there's a lot of
town in there and there's just a lot of individual stuff going on.
A lot of guys are doing their own thing.
You might not see people till the game goes on.
Until the game?
Yeah, guys are kind of just doing their own thing. Whether they have their own, and it's
not a knock against people that have their own routines, right? Some people, you know,
have routines where they do like training room and they do their own stuff in the training
room.
Can you stop it? One of my pet peeves is when people lay something out clearly as a criticism, like as a contrast
to the way it should be done, and then immediately say it's not a knock on doing it that way.
Yeah, you're saying something incendiary and then walking it back.
Yeah, like you're putting forward they're doing this, that's not how they should do
it.
That is a good point you're making, if that's your opinion.
Then you immediately, well it doesn't actually matter, I hate that.
You know, have routines where they do like training room and they do their own stuff in the weight room. You know they have everything kind of timed out
You know as you get older in the game you were in that right to kind of like this is how I go through my routine
No BP yeah, not a lot of BP not a lot of you know stretching together, and I just felt like
Maybe for me just being kind of the outcast
because a lot of the it's a lot of the same guys there that won the World Series so maybe I was
kind of on the outside I was kind of looking more of a way to kind of you know get in that inner
circle and a lot of that times that comes through you know stretch and BP where you know you talk
about things other than baseball you get to know guys a little bit more and that would even start like in spring training
But to me the reason they're I
think a lot of guys just got off to a bad start individually and the pitching was so good and
You know what he's gonna get a new little something else here, but so number one it's interesting I don't know
you know if that's the way things rolled during a World Series winning season
then yeah but but we've always heard that kind of about Seeger and Simeon for
sure right they do their own thing they are they were brought in to lead by
example that they work hard they they're very focused and but they're not rah rah guys either there
Right, they're not Mike Napoli, but I also you know I know that Adolis does a lot of his own stuff
So you know I don't know how communicative he is sounds to me like they need to hire Brian shot
Yeah, no doubt so that was what I wanted to say here
He is saying exactly the things that Brian Schottenheimer is trying to bring in
is
Team unity bonding have dinner together talk learn about the families all these kind of things
Will strengthen your bond to where when you are in the huddle and on the field and you need each other,
then that's going to help.
Now it remains to be seen.
We've never really seen anyone in a head coaching position,
I think, put that out as their main thing.
Like this is the main focus of this team.
Yeah, well no one else has ever been hired
with such a little of a resume, so obviously yes.
Right, I don't know what else he could put as his main thing.
I think he knows Pete Carroll.
He knows Pete Carroll and a lot of people say that was Pete Carroll's thing.
Pete Carroll playing music at, you know, during practice and...
Picking his shirt off.
Yeah.
Energetic dude, cheering him on as they burn a flag in the lobby.
Yeah, I felt like that was a bridge too far, but yeah
It's just interesting
To see how that you know is it I'm pretty firm believer that talent is the most important thing overall
I am also but I'm a firm believer that in professional sports the margins are very small and there's a lot of talent
So if you're gonna run into another talented team, I'll take the team that in professional sports, the margins are very small and there's a lot of talent. So if you're going to run into another talented team,
I'll take the team that finishes each other's sentences
over ice cream at dinner.
So to me, that's the read I get on the Rangers anyways.
Right.
So to me, that audio is just confirmation bias for me.
And I'm like, yeah, of course.
That's what they seem like.
That audio was not shocking at all.
It made sense.
Even after the World Series,
we said it's a hard time relating to this team,
because it doesn't even look like they're
having that much fun.
Now, it got them a World Series, so which
would you rather have, guys that slap each other on the ass
or wins?
Now, they're not doing the wins part this year,
which I guess is the problem.
And it all really just goes to show,
are you playing the rest of it? I will okay. What's the why you wanna?
No, go ahead, but
to me the reason there I
think a lot of guys just got off to a bad start individually and the pitching was so good and
We were still winning we they were still winning games. I guess it was we at the time. They were still winning games
winning we they were still winning games I guess it was we at the time they were still winning games it just seemed like it just the winning didn't seem it didn't
a lot of guys weren't like enjoying that we were winning games you know a lot of
people got caught up in their own failures he went on to talk about, you know,
the fact he's been in the playoffs before and everything,
and that it is an interesting look
at one of the other differences in playoff baseball
versus regular season baseball is
that once you get into the playoffs,
you actually do stop worrying about your own statistics and
A win everybody's happy after a win if you can do the tiniest thing that contributed to that win
Then you're happy you went over for but you move that one runner along
In that certain situation that led to something good, like that was a key part.
Whereas in July, if you do that same,
you went 0 for 4, but I grounded, you know,
to the right side of the infield that allowed that
runner to go from second to third,
and then a sacrifice fly was hit the next play.
You're not thinking that after the game, like that,
I'm swelled up that I at least did that, and that, you know?
You're just looking at it, I went, I had a bad game.
That's fascinating to me. as someone who didn't really play
baseball I hate that right that's that's the same sort of like oh we're gonna
swallow the whistle at the end. I would prefer if you could have it be as rote
across the board all like we're gonna strategize the same we're gonna play the
same we're gonna officiate the game the same. I mean I guess it happens in the
NBA right like the playoffs it turns into more of a more of an isolation heavy game
That's very interesting. I
Don't know I
Again, I think it it reiterates how lucky we were to have a manager
That was sneaking away to do cocaine and he wasn't even the only guy with a drug problem
Everything was so fun. There were shirtless pictures. We just had a lot. We
had a lot and now we have this guy saying this team is so boring. Yeah you're
right it's boring. We had the claws and the antlers. We had you
Darvish stealing menthols from Ron Washington fighting necklaces is that what was called?
Yeah, you had one you are a hundred percent in a fight and mark me. Yeah I wear them with my grounding shoes forget the arm sleeve that they all wore to I got one of those I wore it
It's slow pitch softball. What was it? Napoli had some cool short that was later wasn't that wasn't the 2011 team, right?
But yeah Napoli had some cool short, that was later, that wasn't the 2011 team, right? But the red, white, and blue Napoli shorts,
do you ever buy those?
Yeah, I had it all.
I was hitting a double and slow pitch
and throwing the antlers up, I was all about it.
Oh, I bet you were.
All about it.
It does give me a thought about the Cowboys and Shoddy.
That I am the kind of person who thinks about the Cowboys and Shoddy. That's...
I am the kind of person
who thinks people should be treated like adults
and that you should have some personal accountability for what you do and that
I don't need to know what time
you get up or you go to bed or how often you work on the show as long as you know you get it in and the show is the show and you know you're well
prepared and all that kind of stuff and that's kind of I mean it's what shoddy
it feels like what shoddy is doing yeah and probably because again it's he has
to like he doesn't have a resume to support you guys all have to fall in
line and listen to me because I did this.
Like, point over there and I did this.
Like, he can't do that.
So, he almost has to give it all to the people.
You wouldn't like a boss forcing chemistry.
Making you go out to dinner,
making you play a free throw competition.
Tune in next summer for the Ticket Campound,
one of the most highly rated things that the radio runs.
I'm serious, that's why you do it.
Yeah, but Dan hated it.
I'm not making a joke.
I'm saying that's what works.
Don't come around saying you would enjoy Shotty,
you would hate him.
Come on, come on, come on.
Don't you want to hang out?
Well, that was, no.
We don't want to hang out.
Dan, we got a water burger.
That's forced chemistry that directly leads to on air.
It isn't dinner in July, and then you're
going to play a game in September.
Right?
Yeah, I know.
So that wasn't necessarily the same thing as,
let's do a ticket retreat.
It's not on the air at all.
It's just all of us getting away for a week to get to know each other and have the three
legged race.
Right.
That way you could perform well at the camp out.
The egg carrier or whatever.
Yeah.
So.
We'll see.
We will.
But it is.
I think they're in a position where what they need is vibes and all he has is vibes.
So I'm going to take that.
It is giving me pause and making me think,
what if the shoddy thing works?
No.
Don't.
Don't.
What if this actually is the way to go?
And I do look at that early season week schedule
and think, I might get sucked in.
Low momentum?
There's six and two.
Low momentum?
Oh my gosh.
They'll ride this.
Who cares if they got to.
Oh, here comes Trayvon Diggs midseason.
Who cares if they have Kansas City and Philadelphia.
Kansas City week today.
I think the 1967 Packers are on the end of the schedule.
They've gotten some of the great teams in history.
All right, so this is progress.
Right, and my other thing that gives me
pause on that person that had pause is,
I do consider football to be the one sport, I think,
the coach has the most direct influence on a win-loss record.
I think one coach can take an 8-8 team
and win 10 or 11 games with that.
And by the same token, like I wonder,
is Shadi the guy that might take a eight and eight
or even a seven and nine McCarthy coach team
and turn it into a five win team?
I don't know.
Yeah, we'll see.
Well, I mean, the bar is pretty high
because they did win 12, three years in a row
before last year.
I don't know.
I think I'm going to be able to sell you on this by October.
Does Shadi have a five-year guaranteed deal,
or is it kind of like one of those?
It's definitely not five years guaranteed.
I don't know how team-friendly it is,
but it's as bad as you think it is.
It's as team friendly as they're allowed to pull off, right?
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
Like, what was he going to say?
No?
Let me go.
You know what?
I have a bunch of other interviews for OC positions.
Oh, wait.
I don't even have those.
Like, after looking at the Giants a little bit today,
I'm thinking, why did they keep the GM and the coach?
That's a real, that's a whole thing whole thing though but we should get into one day
but it's but I think I think it's not paying a new coach that's part of it but
I also think now when you get rid of him can you just slide the DC over he's now
interim and you don't have to pay the DC anymore
I guess that's probably what could happen this year. Who's their DC? I'm just bringing up a I don't know. I'm sure it's
not as impressive as Matt Eberfluss. What if we what if we pivoted and did a
little NBR here? How would everyone feel? I think he should reset where we are and
plug these plug this as well. Oh he he's gonna hand me the flood plug while I search for the MBR open
Cups for curving out we're doing you can buy collectible cups out here at water burger for just two dollars all proceeds go to the curvil
The last disaster relief we are at the water burger at El Dorado in the tollway
We are at the Waterburger at El Dorado in the tollway. We've given away about 150 car trays branded with Waterburger's
75th anniversary logo on it.
And you can come get some.
I think we're bringing 150 more.
Hit the up.
What else?
Oh, you want me to hit the up?
Oh, well.
Damn, son.
That's a bad look for you.
It's that time of the month.
It's all going bad for me.
It's time for the Dumb Zones monthly business review.
And now the king of all note takers, here's Blake Jones.
We were up 22 subs in the month of June, June, June,
June, July, June.
Okay.
That's good.
Deuce, deuce, deuce, deuce.
So great news, subbies are up, people are here at Water Burger.
It's a great time here in the dumb zone.
However, let's begin with bad bits.
This came from Dan on June 2nd, where he said having other athletes mic'd up to watch hockey games is a bad bit.
It's a bad bit and it might be racist.
Yeah, it's basically based on the videos I see
or usually two NBA player, black NBA players.
This came up because Travis and I
were actually at a Stars game and Donovan Ezerike and.
Oh, that's good, Tyler Booker?
Yeah, one of their other picks was at the game.
And yeah, it seems like that's...
Travon did one.
Yeah.
I guess I haven't seen the one with like...
With Aiden?
I don't know, probably.
I haven't seen the one with like, you know,
Tyler Beottish.
Yeah, you're saying they're not putting
drewberries on the glass?
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
June 5th, Dustin Polk.
What if we put ladies?
That near the glass?
That's true.
The puck just gravitationally pulls over to them.
Yeah.
You can't fit the whole WNBA down on the rink.
That's true.
Yeah.
We mic up Angela.
Wow.
You take him to a hockey game.
Me?
It's your bit.
Yeah, this just got a lot better.
He would say, this is great.
Can we go get some popcorn?
We tell him he can invite a friend, but he's got to go.
He's got to wear this mic.
We go.
We sit across the arena, and we film it.
Yeah, we video.
We do our own.
Yeah, we do our own thing.
Dude.
All right.
Listen, if nothing else, I like what you're doing here,
which is we're trying to strike the balance of exploitive,
helpful, and funny.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay, let's do it.
He won't spend much time watching the game.
Well, we just want him mic'd up.
I'm sure, like when you see one of those
with two NBA players or whatever,
you only see about 30 seconds of the audio.
Like there's never, like, it's not full of gold.
So we bring Angelo and...
What if he's like, that's a trash pinch in the corner.
He's yelling about...
Double down, yeah.
You bring him with Xavier Leggett
and sit them next to each other and we're going.
Yeah.
Tell him to bring a girl.
Don't tell him to bring a girl.
He may take that too literally.
Pretty sure he's gay.
Okay.
You are, huh?
Yeah.
Probably helps.
Bad bits continue.
Blake has that kind of radar.
Yep.
June 5th, Dustin Kolkwit signing a one-day to retire chief.
Right. Ah, the storied career of Dustin Colquitt's majestic punts.
You remember the one.
An old arrowhead.
Flip the field.
Way up there.
I'll never forget it.
Tell my kid about it the other day.
Wishing yourself a Happy Father's Day a bad bit.
Oh my god, sports mayor.
Oh, that's right.
That's why this came up.
And then the author that tweeted her book signing
wasn't going well.
You know what's so funny about that?
We made fun of that lady and everybody that was telling her how sad it was and keep her
head up and one of those people was Sarah Heppler.
That's why it was re-tweeted.
Let's do this.
Things Dan and Jake want.
A lot of wants from the month of June,
including Jake saying he wants to do a focus group.
I do, I think we could do one here today.
On what?
Us, the show.
I mean it would be better if it was people we don't know.
Right.
If we could get a random group,
because we used to do these in college,
like in grad school,
and you'd sit on the other side of the glass and so do they have to listen to the show and yeah, yeah
So people that have never heard the show because I've had this happen
Right. It's terrible and you have to
usually pay them
Hey water man, that's you water burger man. Holy shit
Hey, water man. That's you water burger man. Holy shit
What's this guy's deal look at him dude that is what a burger man. Oh my god Hey there, and I was not made out of a burger though like Mavs man. He's got a no

marketing manager for what aurger in North Texas.
So I get to work with Travis.
You what?
I get to work with Travis.
You get to work with him.
I get to.
I'm so lucky.
OK, we're forced to.
Wow.
Right.
And you get to.
He's the trick.
Yes.
And the special celebrity appearance right now,
walking through the store, is What a Guy.
Wow, everyone give it up for what a guy.
Woo, woo, woo, woo.
Woo.
I just found out existed.
What a guy is saving the world one burger at a time.
OK.
In what way?
Yeah.
Well, aren't you a little happier when you have a burger?
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
So just by offering burgers.
Offering burgers to the world.
I get my happiness out of thinking of the animal that we
took care of for me to get that burger.
Do we have a special vehicle that brings what, a guy around?
Or no?
I wish we did.
But he just magically appears.
Oh, OK.
And then magically disappears.
OK, great.
But yes, he brings happiness and fries and burgers
So fun to have him we're so lucky to have him here today and what a guy just brought more car trays
What really and what a guy brought in more car trays. It sounds like
You do this on the side like what is your save your view? Sam, saving the world, one burger and car tray
every single day.
Thank you.
Sarah, everybody.
That was really nice.
And car trays.
You got the trays.
There you go.
Yeah, I don't know where to put it.
Just throw it.
Yeah.
All right, what's next, Blake?
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
NBR.
Jake wants to do a focus group.
Oh, Jake has always wanted to ride a police horse.
Yeah.
See if we can make that happen.
They seem very powerful.
June 20th, Dan wanted to be helicopter guy.
Which I think has died down.
You don't seem to care as much as you used to.
Yeah, because they keep dying.
Yeah, they fall.
A lot.
And then, just we have more focus than when I really, my first,
you know, this was many years ago that I thought I would
become a helicopter pilot.
Recently you said you'd become a helicopter pilot
before Johnny Manziel made the PGA.
I still like your chances.
I still like that better, yeah, just because that I still might possibly do it
Hey, don't lie to me. Did you think you were gonna get your pilot's license if we had to sit out for six months?
Um, actually I was just talking about that when I was in Cleveland with like I thought the six months like I thought I
Was gonna drive to Cleveland. I was gonna hang out there for a month. I was gonna do this and that
Yeah, I had a lot of plans like six months off. Thanks to Frank. Yeah our lawyer Frank is in any of
June 20th Dan wanted to be a sloppy seconds guy
sure
Just a low bar like if I'm like
Micah Parsons best friend and I get to clean up on whatever.
Do you think the chicks that are interested in Micah Parsons
would then just transfer their interest right to me
once they found out that they couldn't get Micah Parsons?
I think so.
Because I like a little salty and sweet,
like the difference there.
OK.
Yeah.
They'll get warmed up.
Yeah, OK.
And then lastly, Dan wants to do a bowling tournament.
Let's make it happen.
Talk to Waterburger.
I think I would bowl every day if I had time.
Yeah.
Like if you just had, I fantasize about,
like, all right, if I had no job, I had all the resources.
I'm not a, I don't think most people are a lay around type.
I think I'd have a standing like couple times, three,
maybe four times a week.
What about a lane in your house?
That was a dream of mine.
Was it?
Mm-hmm.
I wonder what that cost.
The basement bowling alley?
Yeah.
It can't be that much.
I've seen people who are not mega, mega rich who have it.
But I think that's kind of lame, though, because then people have to come to your house,
and it's like, you feel like Richie Rich. Come play with me.
I'd rather go buy everyone's round at the lanes.
Here's another thing that Jake quit.
Lunch.
Remember you just had people over for lunch rather than going somewhere?
Yeah. I tried it.
Bowl!
Yeah, I would do it.
The problem though, I was going almost every day
during one summer, and my right arm
got way bigger than my left.
It did not.
It did.
Because I was chunking a 16 pound ball 100 times a day.
That would do it.
I could tell.
With his torque?
Yeah.
We had a bad radio bowling tournament,
like in the year 2002 or something.
Did you know that?
And it didn't make enough money for the station?
Yeah, they have to...
It raised a bunch of money for charity,
but they would say, okay, if you make 5,000 for charity,
then the station has to make like 10,000.
Yeah.
Like they had some number and we weren't hitting that.
It was like, oh, all right.
Yeah.
Kind of felt like the charity was a little bit.
I'm sorry, did I talk over your bit?
It's all good.
Time capsule.
And these are two that we are definitely
going to want to remember.
The first, Shadi said that his coaching staff will
get raided in the off season.
And there's no way.
Well, because they're're gonna win so much
Yes already he's you have to give it to him for this the planning ahead on
He's now into the offseason after their tremendous success, and he's trying to re
Staff his all the people that left
Yeah, so yeah, uh
Eberfluss maybe but you can not sign stuff while we're on the air. It's fine.
It's fine.
All right, do it.
It's fine.
Sign it.
You already signed it.
Eberfluss, maybe.
Yeah, I don't know.
Go ahead, do it.
Clayton Adams.
OK.
Is he getting rated?
But just don't pay attention to Blake.
And then Dan says Shotty will have
to give up play calling at some point in the season.
I don't know.
This side you said?
Yeah. Especially, yeah. Is he on this side you said? Yeah.
Especially, yeah, is he starting as the play caller?
Yeah.
Right?
But he's never done it?
No.
Shoddy's calling plays.
I thought he did it in Seattle for a year.
He's done it for more than a year.
He did it for a handful of years.
He lost it a couple of times during the season.
He has called about one and a half seasons worth of plays. OK.
Fewer than Dak Prescott has.
Is that good on your resume?
No.
To have lost it a couple of times?
Yeah.
I mean, I think they, yeah.
You're so dynamic as a play caller.
But he was several times just an OC who didn't call plays.
We didn't think it was fair to the rest of the league
to allow him to call plays.
Right.
It was too much of an advantage for us.
But, if this thing actually pops, Eberfluss could get hired.
Was he the guy that...
They have enough talent defensively to be really good.
I don't think I would hire Matt Eberfluss, but...
Was he the OC when people were saying, let Russ cook?
Like he was running the ball so much?
And eventually they did start to throw it more.
After they started the mantra let Russ cook? Yeah I think he actually takes credit
for that. That's a that doesn't make sense. Yeah. I'm the one that let him
cook. We have very little evidence to go off of on how he's gonna call points.
When he cooked that one year for like seven the first seven weeks and then
really had a big swoon. Yeah when when someone else took over. Yeah, remember when he was,
Ross was like having his MVP season?
Yeah.
He had a tremendous first half of the season and then,
you know.
All right, let's do this while Jake is not paying attention.
Jake has a buddy.
Jake has a buddy who said they should change the end zone
to football is gay. They should.
Actually, that guy might have just left because they put all that other stuff on there.
Right?
End racism.
Yeah, but this came because Des Bryant got really mad on Twitter for somebody saying
football is queer.
It wasn't somebody on Twitter.
It was an organization affiliated with the NFL that put out a video and it started out football is gay
on a black screen and then it said football is all the other ones right it
rolled through and male female and that's just as like he just quotes we
didn't said football not gay we interrupt this program just to mention
that oh you can do what a guy. He's the guy was
What a guy what a guy? Yeah
Did come with the goods is delivered Jasmine was incorrect before when she said that we wouldn't have any more car trays
she's a dirty liar and
We have another box of car trays here and right now TC is a
Giving them out to people and then with
each person here he will tell them congratulations and then they take a picture with him in the
car tray.
It's like they're graduating.
Or it's, I remember doing this when we would win a softball tournament or something.
Each little girl would come up and...
Hey, that's Chris Ivy and John Kukla.
Take a picture.
Kukla's here?
Oh, John Kukla's here.
He said he wasn't coming.
And he did.
Oh, sorry, dude.
We're back to the MBR.
That was a promotional announcement,
just to mention we do have trays at Whataburger.
Hey, Frank's still here.
Frank is still here.
Jake has buddies who dress like him.
Jake has a buddy who is always at his kids baseball tournament.
What was that?
Dress like him?
What was the context of that?
You said that I have buddies who dress like me.
And I just thought that was a funny thing to say.
Okay, I got nothing for you on that one.
Good, you're not supposed to.
By that do you mean pants and shorts?
OK.
I don't know, just to think that you've
created a style to dress that everyone wants to mimic.
Jake has a buddy who worked at a mattress store.
Great bid.
And if you work at one now, hit me up.
Jake had a buddy who will see how to sit in soon
and got his wife to take the community mechanical bid
How do you uh, where you on your mattress life?
Me yeah, like I
Mean I've had the same matches for like 10 years that bad. I'm it
13 and we never flip it. We don't either we should though That's I always hear we used to flip the one at the lake just because there was so much action happening on it.
Yeah.
They say you're supposed to flip it and everything, but I feel like if I do, then the imprint
of my body won't be in there anymore and it will bother me.
This is for Frank, so I'm going to make you do it.
Oh, this is for Frank?
If you're in the mattress game, hit me up.
And then finally, Jake has a buddy whose parents got remarried after divorcing.
I'll tell you a story. Not only that, which is they were separated for a little bit.
It was crazy.
I thought that's for Frank.
I don't know what's going on.
I thought it was too.
He may just want a handshake.
Recently talked to a listener.
I'll tell her story in a couple days.
My wife and I went and visited her spa.
She is married, she's almost 50.
She's married to a guy who's like 13 years older.
And 10 years ago, they took a year off.
A year?
Dang.
And now they've been back together for 10 years,
eight, nine years, but yeah.
I feel like that could spark up, you know, my marriage. Just at least let's
try the year off. She was describing a spark, I can tell you that. Let's try the year off and then
we'll see. We'll evaluate where we are there. Yeah, circle back. Like can you just imagine when you have
like a weekend off, you're like oh my gosh what I'll do, what would I do for that year?
I mean the problem would be like
Taxes and how all that works, but you'd get through that you'd get through that you're off
Option here things that are back only one I would buy so many condoms
Just buy them and
Just to be ready bro
The new world screw worm flies are back. Yeah.
I don't know if that direct relationship to Trump,
but that resulted in us learning a lot about how they control
fly populations.
Only one rostaral male.
I don't remember any of it.
I know.
Only one rosanne from the month, and it was Ursula.
Definite, definite rosanne.
One anchored phrase, negative connotation.
Connotations are typically negative.
Never heard positive.
Yeah.
Kim spins, you're up to 549.
There was three unique ones in the month of June.
Maybe.
Let's go Hannah Storm.
Blew up her face with a gas grill one time.
And she's married to who? Oh, I don't know. OK. We did talk about to who oh I don't know okay we did talk about
it but I don't remember and then Zach Arnett
Zach Arnett that's college football no Zach Arnett golf the golf show on the
ticket oh that's Rick.
Oh, no, but isn't there a Zach?
I don't know.
I think he passed out in a drive-through or something.
Oh, that is college football.
He's a coach at Florida State now, where Deuce plays.
Yes.
Oh, OK.
Yeah, he's an off-bar net.
No.
Not the guy from the ticket and from football, Scoob.
Florida State hired a coach.
Son of Dave.
Who passed out in a drive-through.
Great Dave. With his pants down.
Was it a Whataburger?
It was not.
They would never stand for that.
If that's their position, I agree. I don't know. Maybe it's not.
And then we'll end with this.
General observations.
If you want more Kimspins, go to kimspin.com.
Where you can take a
random spin of the wheel and see what the Kim spin of the day is
June 2nd Jake doesn't want to get into the ocean anymore and
Jake is bothered that baseball uses decimals for innings pitched
It doesn't make any sense and everyone knows that I don't I don't have a better solution for it is the problem. 3.1 is 3 and a third innings pitched, yeah.
It doesn't look right to me.
Should it be 3.33?
Yeah, it should with a little line over the top.
But as I've quit baseball, there's no other concern.
Yeah, that doesn't matter anymore.
Dan told us about his wife watching Ink Master.
Oh, dude.
Oh, the uh...
The Down Syndrome tattoo show?
Right, they had uh...
People with Down Syndrome draw a picture and then that picture would be used as a tattoo on somebody.
And it was very touching.
It was. It meant a lot.
It's just incredible.
It's like, what are we doing?
What are we doing?
June 2nd.
I'm the asshole?
And these producers are doing this?
Yeah.
Jake was turned on by How to Train Your Dragon.
The fact that that didn't happen.
All right.
All right.
Dan clipped his second daughter's hair
for her first haircut.
Jake peed in his water bottle and still drinks out of it.
Look, her hair was hanging in her eyes.
Her mom is not like, what are we going to do about it?
And then the point is, do you know what I have right now?
Cuz I my kids are older now, but I have this you know I have all these baby teeth
What am I gonna do with it we have a lock of hair in a bag
What are we doing? Are we just hoping that one of these kids becomes famous and I can sell that on eBay?
Yeah, or like I'll be in the news for be-hole parent. Jurassic Park type situation where they could recreate them from the DNA of the tooth. Okay, but do we need all the teeth?
Like, do we need...
I don't know.
Because here's the thing...
The haircut thing, I just knew early on, intuitively somehow.
That's a no-go.
Women are with the daughter on the hair.
That's it. I just knew that. a no-go. Women are with the daughter on the hair, that's it.
I just knew that.
Don't know why.
Alright, no, I'm just built around logic and pragmatism.
It's super, super funny to see Water Guy in the parking lot.
And he's like directing traffic.
Is he walking around?
So what does logic and Pragmatic Guy think about peeing in your water bottle and then drinking out of it. I think that's horrible
I think that detergent exists which kills germs just like all the other germs that are on our dishes
And we move right on yeah, but you didn't even like wash it right away
You left it sit in the dishwasher overnight, and it's seeped in there have you ever gone potty in the your water burger?
Yet either this one yeah, no okay, but I would overnight and it seeped in there. Have you ever gone potty in your Whataburger yeti there?
This one? No. But I would.
No, don't do that.
I certainly would.
June 9th we learn what PDS stands for.
PDS?
A particularly dangerous situation.
Oh my god. It's the weather.
They're just making up stuff. Dan's uncle requested which girls to invite to the pool party.
Dude, I haven't stopped thinking about that since then.
Not good.
I saw that girl's sister when I was in Cleveland this week.
How's she holding up. Well the sister, I was friends with the sister
and the one that my uncle wanted to invite over
was super hot, the hottest girl in our,
like she was dating the college guy,
all that kind of stuff.
Oh yeah.
June 13th, Wings fans had to wait nine minutes
of game time to sit down after their first make.
Yeah.
Wait, what?
They don't, they have a bit where they don't sit down until they make a basket and they had to wait
for almost the entire first quarter.
They were offensively challenged during a time of injury.
How are things going now?
The draft is coming up.
We've got a preview show coming up.
I almost believed you.
Did we ever settle what four games under 500 is no. Oh, yeah, somebody
Okay, yeah somebody emailed us and said
That they're gonna finish four games under 500
Yeah, Andrew and if they don't
Like he'll pay double double sit in yeah, and if do, we have to go give them a free remote.
Yeah.
Which I'm for, but we just have to figure out
what is four games under 500.
It's super simple.
It's 7 and 11.
That's it.
So they have to finish 7 and 11 or worse?
I mean, 7 and 10.
Excuse me.
So if they finish 7 and 10 or better, then they are.
That's three.
This is why I wanted to bring it up.
I'm gonna lose my mind.
The conventional way in which we say below 500,
like four games below 500, is something you do
after the fact, not before the fact.
Right, so if you play 17 games and you go six and a...
Seven and ten. You are three games and you go 6 and 11. 7 and 10.
You are 3 games below 500.
Okay, so if you go 6 and 11 you're 5?
So now they're trying to make the case because it's 8 and a half and 8 and a half it should
be 4 and a half and 12 and a half.
So there's only a three and a five the answer very simply
Is if they win seven games we win
Unless he added in a tie as like part of it. Did he say no, they got to win seven games. Yeah, and
Then we get a double. Yeah to go down to his awesome man cave and do a great show
But if it's-
We'll bring Aubrey.
Let him go stick it in his face.
Here you go.
If they win below seven.
We gotta go do a free show.
I think there's a good chance
we'd do a free show, don't you?
Okay, then I'll pay for it.
Ooh.
So we win the other way.
Where does Bond?
I thought you were a shotty guy now.
Ha! Right now we're determined, we're in July. Oh We win. What is bond? I thought you were shotty guy now
Right now we're just term we're in July we're starting to do the the research all right moving on June 18th
In the neighborhood Dan is known as the guy who walks in the weird fishing hat not anymore
You change I've worn that hat since that
He got since we got an email and I him out of the paint. It's terrible.
Now I'm the guy wearing grounding shoes.
Jeez, man.
June.
But I haven't.
I'll wear it again, but it's never
going to not be in my mind.
Every house I walk by, is this the one?
Somebody's looking out the blinds.
Well, they probably all are.
But the fact that they're a listener of the show
and also making fun of me, that's a confidence-shaking.
Yeah.
What have we got, Clayton?
What?
What's up?
What's going on?
Anthony Davis is having surgery.
What the hell?
Anthony Davis' eye is falling out?
All right, we'll get to that.
June 20th.
Healthy for training, can't it?
We got this email signature in viewer mail
that Dan wanted to remember.
I don't think he did.
Dan wanted to remember crank some hog.
Yeah.
That should be the dumb zone sign off.
That's a good sign off.
When people leave here today, they should be like,
all right, good seeing you, man.
Go crank some hog.
And the timing of it is funny, because I
believe the next signature talked about Sarah's milk sheds.
So I don't know if there was a little mind
connection there or not.
I think it was absolute milk sheds.
Absolute. Ha ha ha ha.
In my perusal through our comment sections
over the last week, I have noticed
that absolute milksheds has been showing up a lot.
Absolute milksheds.
I'll co-opt that.
Let's see, Jake, you're going to know some of this.
I think, therefore I am, the unexamined life
is not worth living.
These are philosopher quotes, and we have your first one
in the month of June.
OK.
This from the words of Jake Kemp.
If you sleep with a belt on, you're not relaxing.
Put that on the first page of my tome.
Someone needs to put the Thought Bubble above the Sarah
Heppler picture from the article, because that fits.
That's perfect.
Dude, accidentally fall asleep with your belt on,
and you call me.
You're like, what happened?
This is gross.
Dan has a cousin who loves delivering bad news.
And the final thing from the month,
Dan's trip to the mall included a trip to Spencer's, a slice of Sbarro, and bowling.
There's your June.
Sounds like quite a time.
This Lemonade, or what is it called?
Prickly Pear.
Well, we claim, bless my star, Mr. Jones's MBR.
People listen here and far to Blake Jones's MBR business
all right Oh, the dumb.
You're listening to the dumb zone.
Forgot the vape. You know, today's program.
Tuesday, we're generally behind the paywall.
But it is open up and free to all who would like to enjoy it thanks to Wada Burger!
Wada Burger!
That's not going to take off.
No?
That's a long chant.
Oh.
Even Wada Guy clapped.
He did.
But yeah, we got a hold of them through sales at dumbzone.com.
This guy?
I do the weave.
If you would like to advertise, you can just send an email there and I don't know, somebody
may or may not reply.
We don't really have our act together.
And speaking of soliciting, so I got a text.
Been getting a lot of these lately. Let's see if I can
find the exact one. But do you get these just random texts of, hey I'm in your
neighborhood or I'll be in your neighborhood later, do you need some tree
trimming done? Yes. Oh hey we'll be in your neighborhood. Do you need this?
Like I get these random texts.
I've had a couple, but I think it's happening
to others a lot more than me.
I hear about that at job offerings.
Hey, TC was telling me that comes up a lot.
Maybe more for him?
Perhaps.
But you know this is, they're getting a mailing list somehow because he says, Hi Daniel.
So unless they're talking to the person at China Walk or whatever I've recently ordered
it because I'll use Daniel when I order because if Dan, Dan, Ban, they don't know.
But if you say Daniel they never get that wrong.
Yeah, and the fact you do a little extra
and make them do Sun on it, just for your entertainment.
Sure, it's great.
But anyway, Daniel, it's Mike the window cleaner.
I'm washing three houses right by you
in South Lake tomorrow,
I'd like to add your home to my schedule.
So just very generic, I generally delete these right away. What? I'm at Waddeburg,
I'm eating. I didn't say anything. It's a satisfying meal. I didn't say anything.
But you gave me that look, and I know that look. So condescending. Write that look
off your face. Boy, I slap it off. That's how. So I thought of this over break.
Because I was getting a ton of these over break. And recently we've had, so
speaking of Travis from Community Mechanical who's out here buying people
lunch because he's just what he does. He along with Brian at Qualys Roofing did some testimonials about, hey man, this is
working very well for our business, you know, high return, our OOI, whatever.
So we have these little testimonials and we have a couple little videos that we think
would interest people that they have businesses and wow, really? This lowly little podcast, you know, out of nowhere can
somehow get us, we can partner with them. Anyway, they recorded a few things. And so
that's something we use, we'll send it to a prospective advertiser like, hey, well,
this work, you know, don't just take it from us.
Take it from someone who's actually doing it, and it works.
So I sent Mike a text back, Mike the window cleaner.
Hey, Mike, I'm very interested in getting my windows cleaned.
Also, I'd be interested to know what your return is on this investment of using a text
message service.
What are you doing?
Because I host a podcast slash YouTube show.
Is this what you did on your vacation?
That has given some local companies
an incredible rate of return.
Would you be interested in finding out how I could
get you a lot of business?
What has happened to you?
Don't you feel like that is the most undanned thing
that you've ever written and read?
It's tit for tat.
He's soliciting me.
He's pressing go on a custom ICRM thing.
What if I scratch his back and he scratches mine?
Yeah.
And what if tomorrow or Thursday you're like, hey,
Dan here for Mike.
Jake Kemp here for Mike the window cleaner.
I watched Travis's testimonial and whatever.
Yeah.
What did he say?
Did he get back to you?
It took him a few days, but then he got back to me with a quote,
and he said, let me get you a quote.
You're welcome to send me some info about advertising with you
as well.
So let's see where this goes.
Look at this guy.
Let's see.
I love it.
Business guy, bro.
Yeah.
It's what I do.
Got car trays.
Clayton says we gave away over 180 trays today.
Oh, dang.
I forgot to look at the zone.
I've got one small story from our vacation.
Okay.
I went to the city of Hearst to see their fireworks show on July 3rd.
Is that the one we did last year?
Yeah, mostly to see the fireworks, also to see our good friend Grady Spencer perform in Hearst.
I went to that last year.
Another spectacular show.
And when you play the city events, sometimes you've got to make announcements
because the guy who booked it needs you to make an announcement.
In this case, a kid had wandered away from his family.
So I see the guy, like I see the whole situation play out.
I see the kid, I see them scrambling.
There's a lot of cops on bicycles.
The guy kind of hurriedly scrambles up to the stage
and mid song.
So like they found a kid.
Yeah, and the kid is.
And they got to tell Grady. Yes kid. Yeah. And the kid is. And they gotta tell Grady.
Yes.
And so.
Find the drunk parents.
Grady's got to step away from the mic
and he's listening in.
And I just can't wait to see this play out.
And so he goes through the rest of the song.
And then the song is over and he steps up and.
Hey, attention folks.
We got a lost kid.
If you've lost your kid, he's over at the tent behind us.
We're trying to just connect the kid with their parents.
Just trying to help out.
Oh, my, my, my, baby.
There was no transition.
It was, hey, we've got a lost kid here to hear the Roast Twins
songs.
He doesn't have any songs about your kid getting abducted.
Here's what you have to do, though but it was did that would have been fitting
It was not to hell let's back to celebrating July 4th folk
It was just straight into the rose you lose it if you lose a coat or something you have to describe what it looks
Like so I know you're not just a fake person just wanting a kid
Like before before I show you the kid describe the kid like what?
Keep Jared Fogel away.
By the way, P1Jer is his name on Twitter.
The guy that first suggested to Jake
that he actually try the car tray, Jake tried a car tray.
Yeah.
That led us to, what is it, eight year, did I do math?
Yeah.
2017, eight years later, we have a Dum Zone, or a Whataburger slash Dum Zone branded car
tray that you can get out here at Whataburger today.
He says he's here for a meet and greet.
The car tray innovator, P1JJer is around here somewhere and ready to
get his picture made with you as well.
You may have ducked off.
Okay.
What do you guys want to do? Can I give you a quick sports topic before some news?
It sounds like we're doing what you want to do, not you. You asked me that, you didn't
really care what I want to do.
You could have just kept the conversation going.
OK.
Yes and.
Yes and.
This is what?
OK, go ahead.
This is what what?
It's a similar to.
And what are you eating?
He's eating a grilled cheese.
I know he is.
And I've been distracted by it for 10 minutes.
Why?
Well, because to my knowledge, you eat four food items.
And I've known you a long time
and now there's a new one and you're eating it in front of me and I'm just wondering when
we...
Are you anti-grilled cheese?
Hell no.
Do you hate America?
Dude, I'm...
Cheese.
I love grilled cheese more than I love America.
Anyway.
Yeah, he's going to get a shot of it right there for you if you get it.
So we have a few articles that have come out this week regarding what is happening in Lubbock
with their
NiL situation and their
Benefactor Cody Campbell the 43 44 year old guy
We've talked about it a little bit guy who played football attack in the early 2000s for leach
Got into oil and gas after the high housing market collapsed And as it happens, you marry talent with luck,
the guy's got $10 billion of value he's sold already.
But he's young, you know, he's not your typical
big southern dummy 80 year old Georgia booster.
He's a West Texas guy and he's a wildcatter.
And he recognizes that this is a lawless environment,
ripe for wildcatting, and they've thrown a ton of money at it. and he recognizes that this is a lawless environment,
ripe for wildcatting,
and they've thrown a ton of money at it.
We talked about it whenever they flipped
the number one softball player,
the Stanford pitcher,
and I was reading an article about this that said,
you know, it goes without saying how much it would take
to get a player away from Stanford's storied program.
I'm like, oh yes.
The Cardinal, known for their softball.
Yeah.
You know, that ends up with them
in the national championship where they finished second.
But the recruiting wins that have been coming
this week are absurd.
So football wise?
Football wise.
I've seen some stuff like on social
media, Texas fans complaining about tech. Rich, quite rich. All of this is very very
rich. The SEC and the Big Ten are upset that somebody else's mom bought a moped and they
get to come hang out. But it's really really interesting to me because it's Lubbock and
there's a guy from CBS who I think the ticket has on every
now and then.
He wrote a really long article about it.
And it's great because you think of Lubbock
and you're like, it's weird.
It's already kind of lawless.
Who knows what's going on out there?
And now we have the revenue sharing situation, right?
So starting July now, 2025, colleges have universities
and programs have a certain amount of money
they can pay their athletes.
But what's unclear is how much more the athletes
can add on top of that.
Because it's supposed to replace NIL, but it's not.
And so that's why last week when Texas Tech,
out of nowhere, got the top offensive tackle
in next year's class to commit,
it was announced that he had signed a three year,
five million dollar deal.
Which was basically the first of its kind.
It was reported, it was a deal.
Yeah, I've never heard of like a contract like that.
That's what they are now.
Okay, guaranteed?
Guaranteed, but much like with NFL agents,
the actual contract is three years, 2.3 million.
But there are a lot of incentives,
which I gather are probably coming from boosters and NIL,
in addition to the revenue where he could make
five million over three years.
Within a day, the number one player in the 2027 class,
an edge rusher, committed to tech.
The number one player in the country.
And if you'll notice something about both of these players,
they're not what you think of when you think of Texas Tech.
What do you mean?
They have poured an F-ton of oil money into the trenches.
And their offensive line this year
is the best it's been in 15 years,
and it's only getting better.
So they have a quarterback that they're kind of like,
okay with, they have a couple other ones in the pipeline,
they didn't go spend a ton of money on a quarterback,
they just threw a bunch of money
at their offensive defensive lines for the next two years,
because right now, there's still really no rules past the revenue sharing part.
In a few years this all may settle down and it may settle down because this guy's doing
this.
So when there's a... when you are... does Texas Tech have like a GM?
Yeah, and he's...
Which is different than the EDG?
Notre Dame tried to hire him.
Marcus Freeman thought so highly of their GM that they tried to hire him, turned him
down, which means obviously Tech had to give him a double bag.
Does every college team now have a GM?
Yeah, like Michael Lombardi is UNC's GM.
Some of them call it something different, but yeah.
You have an executive of your roster.
That's what I was going to say.
Like who's in charge?
Is the coach in charge of what play? Like hey, I don't want another offensive lineman
I need you to go the whole program. Okay, it's a whole program which Blake's about to
Dive himself into we mean on I'm surprised Blake's here this week. The NCAA game came out
Oh, is it gonna miss water burger? That's true. Oh
College the video game?
Yeah.
That's a big part of the game now, right?
What?
Just managing transfers and the recruiting process.
Yeah, recruiting, and you feel like you're
a GM in a video game.
So as far as what's been reported,
tech has more money on the books right now in NIL
and committed revenue share than any other team in the country,
not by a little.
And yeah.
Along with this, is there a cap?
There is a cap on what you can give out in revenue sharing,
but I think it's still unclear on like, okay,
I get my salary from University of Oklahoma.
It's 50 or it's a hundred thousand dollars a year,
but can I still go to Water Burger and get 20?
Cause I think it's existing to preclude that but that's still happening. So
This guy I think it's interesting one because he's super West Texas Lubbock wildcattery and
It's just a cool tech story But this whole scene is probably ten years from now gonna look very different than it does now. Who's the guy?
He has died but the oil guy from? T-Boon Pickens.
OSU, yeah.
So if he was still alive,
Clayton.
Would he make them a part?
Times would be good.
Because we had always heard he's,
you know, he'd donate things.
Facilities were great for.
You could pay as much as you could under the table. But yeah, you not enough to do this kind of damage.
Right. And, you know, the the the Southeast Conference, probably the Big Ten and the
SEC have most of the country's old money. Old, old money. But in Texas, we have
people who got lucky, who are in their 40s and
they got lucky by kind of having a devil-may-care attitude in the first
place and now this guy's doing the same thing but the trenches part is really
interesting to me because you know if you look up in five years and that's
offensive line University I mean that's 30 years after Leach innovated in the
way that he did. It's really what is, I feel like it's kept Texas
among the good teams for years,
even if they're not the best team, right?
They always invest heavily in the offensive line.
Texas?
Yeah.
Yes, for sure.
I mean, that's what's funny about you saying
Texas fans are upset about this.
Texas did the exact same thing.
They were just closer.
Texas was down bad. That was the first thing Sark did. Go did the exact same thing they were just closer. Texas was down bad.
That was the first thing Sark did. Go to the offensive line. If Calvin Banks doesn't become
a first overall pick or a first round pick then who knows. But yeah that's not the way it was
under Mike Leach. It's not really the way it was under Mac Brown either. That is interesting. Are
you predicting big things? I mean they're in
the big 12 so they're gonna get to play an easier schedule. You know you can go ahead and
let me know what the playoff is right now. I was gonna say is the playoff
expanded this year or not till next year? I think it's this year. This year it's going to
be what is it this year TC? 12. 12 this year but they reorganized the buys I think think that's it like you can't just win a conference it'd be the seventh seed and
get a buy but if you win the big 12 you're in you weren't so I mean look
they've got a chance but it's not about this year though they're trying to
exploit this window so that when things come back to normal and it's 2036 you
think of tech as Georgia because of the last 10 years of what they've been doing.
They're not, you know, this year matters.
Do they have to move conferences to actually make you think that?
Well this is a whole other problem because the SEC and the Big Ten hate this guy because
they don't want, you know, they're like we're trying to get away from you.
We're trying to get away from you but I're trying to get away from you. But I think his move is like,
yeah, well, what if I keep taking your players
and then beating you on the field?
And then we can, and you know, the guy's got Trump's ear.
He was gonna be the commissioner of some sports.
Yeah, with Saban.
Conference.
The dude's not fucking around, is what I'm telling you.
He's changing the way. Oh, he's the guy
that was with Saban trying to revamp college football?
Yeah, because he's got the money. Okay. he's the guy that was saving, trying to revamp college football?
Yeah, because he's got the money.
All these articles say he's talking to Trump, like, weekly
to try to come up with some solution for the revenue model
for college sports.
And I'm likely going to be one of those douchebags,
and when my kids go to college, even though I
didn't go to a school with a football team,
I'm going to become guns up guy.
So I'm trying to settle in now
What do you think of that guy?
What guy?
The guy who gets way too into his kids college football team
Despite not going there.
Oh, yeah. No, I'm
Not a big fan
But on the other hand you're giving it more money than anything else you've ever given in your life
True. I should love Clemson.
So you should have the right to be like bitching on message boards.
That's true. Besides our house, I have not invested...
No chance.
...more into anything since, except Clemson University.
And then they have the effing balls, because my kid is, well, she's in graduate school now,
but they'll send you a thing that wants you to donate.
Like are you kidding me?
Couple bucks.
Are you kidding me?
To donate?
Like let's see her get a job that pays her
one tenth. A livable wage.
Yeah, just anything.
And you guys make fun of Angelo
for doing the exact same thing.
What?
Asking for more money after you've already given it. That's true. It's the same thing Clemson University of
homeless guys
Can I pivot just a little bit you said Trump and sports and everything I
Was surprised you didn't have it in the news
Do you see the Trump bit when you're on break?
I'm surprised you didn't have it in the news. Did you see the trumpet when you were on break?
Ooh.
Alligator Alcatraz?
Yeah.
No, not Alligator Alcatraz.
That's just silly.
What?
He wants to host the UFC event at the White House.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And I think they posted a photo yesterday
that it's going to be next July 4th.
They're going to have the Octagon right out there
on the South Lawn.
Why not? Why not?
Why not?
I agree.
Let's do it all.
Let's do it all.
Here's Jay with the Dumb Zone News.
Brought to you by Waterburger.
Yeah, that's right.
Brought to you by Waterburger.
And the Game Day Men's Health Studio.
Start out with a wild one.
This happened while we were away.
It actually happened on July 4th.
There was a shooting at an ICE detention facility in Johnson County.
And this is starting to turn into like similar to when things were really going poorly in
the relationship between the people and the police.
Where you started having targeted attacks
and things like that.
Heck, it's why we can't have Luca Day on July 7th.
But there was a...
I don't buy the thing about the doxing
and that's why they have to have masks either.
I'm not buying it.
It came from the New York Times.
Slimes?
That rag? Well, in Alvarado a police officer was shot
because people that's yeah it's a good pull huh? Alvarado Indians. Oh yeah. You think
they're camping at the bit to change their name to something a little more PC. They have more of a chance of changing it to redskins.
That's true.
Yeah.
So these, this was in Alvarado, and people showed up
and kind of under the guise of a protest,
and started setting off fireworks,
lured the officers outside, and the guy got shot.
So they've made, I think, 10 arrests.
This is like a targeted, you know,
a law enforcement attack.
They went, yeah.
That doesn't seem cool.
No.
No, it doesn't.
But, yeah, and I don't know,
I don't want everybody to yell at me
who's like as off the reservation,
lefty as I am,
but not everybody who's doing that job is a bad person.
And some of them are in super bad situations, you know?
Oh, I'm
sure. Like maybe it does attract like a certain type of person and more than an
average line of work is full of assholes but not everybody wants to be doing that.
It's like good job prison guard right? Same thing? Yeah that's not that's not
where you want to be either. In other news, the other day
when I was gone, my dog got into some food in my cabinet.
It was
caffeinated protein. It was protein powder espresso.
Like he unscrewed it?
Ripped the whole thing open. And you may be wondering why I'm telling you this story.
Got the blender, yeah.
Called Gronk.
Heals a banana, throws a banana in there.
I'm telling you this story because we're just going to talk about some news from our lives.
Because, you guys may know I'm not a real newsman.
I report on what the news reports on.
So unless you'd like another check of the death toll,
I'm going to tell you how this played out.
I got home, you used to do a drink the Chike coffee, right Blake?
It's like protein espresso.
My dog ate an entire $50 bag of this.
So that's probably the equivalent of 30 cups of coffee and
And your dog's already a maniac clearly 15 to 20 T bone steaks
And it was nighttime
Man, this is gonna go real bad. I'm gonna wake up and I'm gonna have to pay a thousand dollars to have this house deep-cleaned I woke up and it was clean good. Because the dog cleaned it up? He was so wired?
I got the dog outside. It held it for me. And I could not like step in that fake turf
back there for like three days. It was that bad.
Why'd you let it on the fake turf? Where's it gonna go?
Front yard? Just going potty you mean?
Yeah. You let it go on the turf? Yeah.
I had to.
I thought it's better on the turf,
because then you could just pick it right up.
I think it is.
You don't need to pick it up, you just need to wash it out.
Your dog get into anything lately, Blake?
No.
Don't have any stories.
No, my dog can't open cabinets.
I don't want to talk about the situation that we find ourselves in here what in the flood Texas? Yeah
Well, yeah, there's gotta be more news than just that there's a little okay, but what I'm telling you is there's not much
You know how I know cuz I watched all four local newscasts. Oh, that's just what everybody's focusing on
Yeah, no, it's a big deal. They put up their own
tabs on the websites, you know?
Like I said.
I do think that, I mean, it's, being on Twitter or social media is just a terrible place in
general, I guess, but just the whole, this is because they, well, and they may have,
you know, didn't vote for improvements to their warning system
that would have helped and this and that.
And then you get people like, oh, you shouldn't make it political right away.
And then because we would never do that.
And then somebody else says, yeah, I remember the wildfires in California seemed to be pretty
political right away.
And then I like it's just bad.
Yeah, it's like.
And then, yeah, then I go talk to my wife
who watches the Today Show and she doesn't know any of this.
She doesn't know about any of that dispute.
That's interesting.
The Today Show is not treating this like a,
or are they just getting the this is sad?
Yeah, this is sad.
Counts up over 100 now.
But look, this one lady held onto the tree.
And you're like, ah, yeah.
I just, I think about the thought of
if your kid was there.
And like you said, we know a guy whose kid was there
like a couple weeks ago,
but then they had left that, the camp.
And then they're using her little six-year-old, you know, standing
by a tree picture on every newscast. Do you want that? Do you want everybody to see that?
Well, you know, the spot you're stuck in is that...
Like the cutest, blondest little kid is going to get that every newscast thing.
It's really tricky, because if they're missing,
you feel like you want it out there.
No, but what if they already know they're done?
Then yeah, probably.
And do you have a choice?
Could you go to the news and say that?
Don't know it.
I mean, the kid isn't a public figure.
I will tell you one thing that I noted yesterday last night
on this, and I don't have an opinion one way or the other.
It's way over my head.
But I saw Dan Patrick on Fox News felt to me
like he was taking shots at the governor which is not something that I think a
couple months ago we were seeing post THC. What was he yelling about?
The state should have done more they're gonna pay for this they're gonna pay for
that. So you know you're fairly familiar with my neighborhood right then very Uh, the state should have done more. They're gonna pay for this. They're gonna pay for that Uh, so
You knew you're fairly, uh familiar with my neighborhood right then very old
Yeah, old houses something that people do in this neighborhood
This more neighborhood news. Yeah, but this one's actually a news story, right? They move those old homes
Yeah, no, we had one across the street from us.
You know, it might have moved it again, but it was like a century home or something.
Which means it's 100 years old.
Oh, well, I didn't think it was going to be that easy.
Yeah, that's what it is, I think.
I might be wrong, but I heard that a while back. It's a century home.
Okay.
Well, I just nodded.
Yes, it's a century, ah, yes, I know what a century home is.
Google it, no, but they had moved that there.
Where from?
From, I don't know, where, maybe Grapevine?
Just something.
Okay.
Yeah.
Because yeah, they just moved one into Grapevine
that was built in
1888
Remember they did this during kovat and it was a huge news story. I was there
Yeah, it was flying over my house
They did one during kovat and they dropped it about two blocks from my house
They took it from the north side of the lake in Flower Mound and they shut down the freeway
There was a chopper overhead. It was was a crazy shit I've ever seen dude it was like a 4,000 foot square house and they just put it on 121 and
drove it down my street and now it's just sitting there it's not even
functional it's just there it's really really weird but they did it again with
this one this one even older 1888 and it just moved in like right by the old
railroad tracks like the cotton belt railroad down there and I think William this one even older, 1888. And it just moved in like right by the old railroad
tracks like the Cotton Belt railroad down there. And I think William D. Tate
actually lived in it at one point. Is it for for living in or is it like a
historical thing? Like a historical little museum. Yeah. So you get to go in
it someday? What a giant waste of time to move a structure. Think of the money.
Think of the water burgers you could buy.
To just say I want this old house there, not there.
Don't you think people with enormous amounts of money waste enormous amounts of money?
Yeah, we just did a story about a guy who spent $20 million on offensive linemen for
his favorite football team.
I don't think his dollar spends the same way yours does.
Which, interestingly enough, is why I like that story also.
They've gotta overpay everybody.
You think that guy gets heat from his wife,
or is it just, when you're that rich,
your wife, or husband, whatever, just doesn't ever.
You probably walk her to the curb,
tell her to turn around.
Yeah, for sure, Nat.
You know, cause like don't you think that she's thinking,
like, or his kids for example,
I think he's got a high school age kid, the tech guy,
when he gets older is he gonna be like,
are we gonna chill out a little bit here?
Like I got the sense our private eye family
kind of wishes dad would have chilled out on the OJ thing a little bit here. I got the sense our Private Eye family kind of wishes dad would have chilled out on the
OJ thing a little earlier.
Because it costs a lot of money.
Right, and then they would have that money.
Correct.
Yeah.
So, you're trying to solve the case.
We briefly talked about this the other day.
I kind of wanted you to tell me a little more about your experience with Gordon Jago.
What do you mean?
So, I'm about to get into the youth soccer world.
Mm-hmm.
And Gordon Jago was a Premier League star,
he was a coach over there,
and he founded the Dallas Cup here in Dallas youth soccer
tournament. World's remount. Sidekicks coach? Briefly yeah. Was he brought over here to do that?
And became good friends with Bob and became good friends with Bad Radio and
you guys developed a relationship with him and it just feels like you know you
kind of brushed through yesterday like oh yeah when I had Gordon Jago out to
coach my seven-year-old girl
soccer, that's just a, I don't know,
I feel like that's a really cool moment that he just say,
OK, then it's no problem.
Yeah, I mean, I had Nancy Lieberman came out
and ran one of our, whatever, 10-year-old girls practices
as well.
But it was very basic.
But still, he's giving you his time.
Right, I think it was cooler for me and the parents
than it was for the kids,
because he's just another old guy.
Right.
And she was just some other adult yelling at them.
And you could be like,
hey, she was on the Olympic team and all that,
but they're like 10. What age does that hit? I don't know but it wasn't that age.
Because I mean I could be honest I could tell you when I saw like Rolando Blackman
dribble dribble a basketball when I was 11 I knew he was God. But you had watched
Mavs games probably. Good point. And you'd seen him on there so you know oh
this is somebody I should be impressed with they've never met Gordon Jago
they're just playing soccer half of them just to
You know because their parents made them yeah, they're killing time
They're really I never coached at a very you know, I coached softball at a higher level
Yeah, where kids understood what to do, but I never knew anything about soccer
We just got our ass kicked all the time.
Other teams are passing it and weaving and we're just like all in a group running to
the ball.
My girl was pretty good because we would just talk outside of just practice and stuff.
But practice, I was a glorified babysitter.
Yeah.
Where parents dropped off their kids and I
just tried to keep it organized and keep everybody moving and keep everybody busy and Gordon
Jago was cool to come and help out with some, you know, giving us some drills and all that.
Like I said, he was showing us one drill where he, and he was like 70 some at the time and
he's dribbling back and forth with his foot and stepped on the ball and then fell
And he's like 6'3
And he was 75 and he just and it took forever. This is the longest fall you've ever seen
That what the roast twins were born
Yeah, they're all laughing
No, but I just I feared he broke his hip because that's what old people do and it might lead to complications and surgery
and then his death and
And then I wouldn't be the the lead in that story that'd be unfortunate to me
I want to be the lead in a death story. I got a drug story for you as
roughly
20 million dollars worth of blow was found by the Coast Guard outside of Galveston over
the weekend.
Okay, I do like to picture sometimes you are the news anchor on Fox 4 and delivering it
with that tone and $20 million worth of blow.
And then Heather Hayes looks at you like...
Did you just say...
Dude, no.
You know what this made me think of though?
The teleprompter says cocaine.
I think there's probably a great documentary out there about this and I would welcome your
suggestions.
My daughter asked me the other day, Cameron, we saw something where there was like a pirate
ship.
It might have been an NRH2O.
And she was like, is that a real pirate ship?
And I said, well, it's a ride.
That's what pirate ships used to look like.
She said, well, what do they look like now?
We don't have pirates.
I said, no, we definitely have pirates.
They're awesome.
But they don't have those kind of pirate ships anymore.
And for a while, when the Huthies were really popping,
I was getting a video a week of them taking a ship somewhere
in the ocean with a GoPro. And I think we need more of that not more piracy but more content made from piracy.
So you're saying we have pirates now? Oh dude yeah it's that's what Kristen talks
to me or knows about this stuff it pops up there's parts of the world where you
just can't ship stuff it'll get stolen immediately and crew take an hostage.
Really? Yeah there's like
ghettos of the world when it comes to where you want to ship things and how
you want to you know go about it where it'll get stolen. Yeah. That seem honorable. Well
no but it's no different than land. It's just that for some reason in the ocean
we're like obey water. So you're it's just being a thief, but you got a boat?
Basically, and maybe a little crew, I would think.
You got the eye patch and stuff?
No, I don't know that they still have to do like,
wooden legs and the like.
That'd be quaint if somebody brought it back.
You think they had to do it?
Like it was mandatory to be a pirate?
Or just is that part of the game?
Like you might lose your leg if you're a pirate.
There had to be better options too.
Why didn't they even think to put a foot on it?
Why is it just a stump?
What about the parrot?
What about it?
A pirate always have a parrot too, why?
I assume that they are native to the climate that they're all defining themselves in?
And they're just like, you know what? I don't need this cat.
Dude, you know that's one of those things right now where not a single pirate ever had a parrot on its shoulder talking.
That's never happened.
So you're saying if there are pirates in heaven looking down at our depiction of
old-timey pirates they're like this is this is bullish. Yeah. It's like when you
watch Frasier and you're like that's not how radio works. Alright, there's a good off-ramp. The dumb zone knew. Like and subscribe.
180 trays, boys.
In the golden age of piracy, pirates also had pet monkeys.
That would make a lot more sense.
That would make a lot more sense like, what's his name on gemstones?
If you got stuff they need to do do for you the monkey can help you
Dr.. Watson with the
Can help you pirate
man BJ loved him
BJ's are like a top 10 character all-time for me. I think in TV if I widen it out to 10. That's not crazy
Joining us now is TC, who is going to join us for today in history. Oops, I meant to hit that one.

Did Jake not? Was he not here during that?
Yeah, he was away.
He was not. You replayed some of them, but I guess maybe not all.
No, we did. I was trying to buy him time.

And salutations Mr. Fish Fister. Today is my Dirk birthday. By a year ago you may
remember me and my buddy Tuxedo John had a sit-in in the den. Legend. What you may
not know is less than a month later Tuxedo John and I were staying at a VRBO
to celebrate another buddy's 40th birthday in the middle of the night
We awoke to discover the entire house is ablaze
Less than an hour later it and the two houses on either side would be nothing but ashes
John and I were both faced with an opportunity to be the sole survivors of this tragedy, but unfortunately all eight occupants survived
Effectively robbing us of a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Dan is my leader.
I like that.

yeah that's uh you don't have to clean up at all you know take all the garbage
out and stuff you don't feel bad about calling the fire department what would
be interesting is if you and a friend you specifically were in this situation
and you both have that fantasy and you're the last two left are you willing the fire department. What would be interesting is if you and a friend, you specifically, were in this situation
and you both have that fantasy and you're the last two left, are you willing to do a
little Russian roulette to see who gets to come out on top or are we splitting the baby?
Well I would just see how good of a friend he was and would just let me have it.
Because you know I'm not that good of a friend.
The only Bible story I know.
Otherwise, so now we go to Today in History and on this day, Tuesday July 8th, on this
day in 1889, it was the last bare knuckle boxing championship fight.
Jake Kilrean and John L. Sullivan.
Bring that beat back. Won the heavyweight, John L. Sullivan won the heavyweight title by knockout
in round
82.
Thirty. Seventy five.
Oh my god. Seventy five rounds.
When men were men.
On this day in 1911
someone named Nan Aspinwall,
they call her, she's a cowgirl.
She became the first woman to make a solo trip
by horse across the United States.
She arrived in New York 10 months
after departing San Francisco.
And then she went back,
and that was called the reverse cowgirl.
On this day in 1947, a New Mexico newspaper quoted officials at Roswell Army Airfield
saying they had recovered a flying saucer that crashed on the ranch.
Let's go.
You been, Dan?
No.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
That's a big part of my year growing up.
My daughter, by mistake, saw the operation scene
from Independence Day.
Oh, no.
It's been a disaster.
Good god, dude.
I remember that being a questionable moment.
And then, I don't know that it was ID4 related,
but Disney World built a ride, Dan, and I went there with my family.
I think it was Independence Day, and it was like this.
So it's an attraction, not a roller coaster.
You're in this theater, and they have seating,
maybe 20 people in there, and in the middle of it,
they're operating on the alien.
It was ID4, which is a crazy scary scene,
and there's doctors down there,
but then something goes wrong.
And when it goes wrong, the lights go out, And there's doctors down there, but then something goes wrong.
And when it goes wrong, the lights go out.
And there's like mist and air going everywhere,
and you can hear the thing moving.
You're like, oh God, it's in here.
And then as it moves around, you can feel breath,
like on the back of your neck.
And my mom, like, got as close to a heart attack
as you could get and I had
nightmares for like once dude I was weeping crying screaming yeah at like
11 bad look. You were gonna die. Dude I could feel it breathing on me too much. On this day in 19 2003, 29-year-old Iranian twins named Leydon and Leila, they were joined at the head.
And a yay-boo is they had an operation to separate them and then died shortly following the surgery in Singapore.
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Reading about them, number one.
Don't you son of a bitch. Look! They're good-looking. I'm not doing this. Not now.
They're nice- looking Iranian ladies.
Yeah, no, they're a big fan of the Persian look.
Well, I am. I am. Just these women's heads are conjoined and that's not...
It's not like they want you to call them ugly.
They want to hear that they're nice looking ladies. What a story they have.
So in 1979, they were lost in a hospital after the doctors that were responsible for them
had to suddenly leave for the United States during the Iranian Revolution.
The parents didn't find the twins again until several years later.
What?
What? What?
How'd they know it was them?
Oh, you know what?
Never mind.
It wasn't you guys.
False alarm.
They ended up going to college.
Leydon wanted to be a lawyer.
Layla wanted to be a journalist.
In the end, they settled on Leydon wanted to be a lawyer. Layla wanted to be a journalist. In the end, they settled on Leydon's choice.
They became lawyers.
Studying law for four years at Tehran University.
Why'd you say that like it's a swing man in the NBA?
Tehran.
Other personal decisions had to meet each other's approval.
Sure.
So.
There's gotta be a documentary here.
It says here, for this and other reasons,
the twins had wanted to be separated
since they were children.
So in 1996, they traveled to Germany,
but German doctors declined to operate,
saying the risk of separation surgery
would be too high for both of them.
Let me tell you something.
When your German doctor says, I'm not gonna do this,
this creepy, off the books weird. So they ended up going to
Singapore. Not better. They found a doctor who would attempt it. Dr. Nick. And then
yeah. That's a horrible story but there's some beauty in there. Oh, there's beauty. They got the... Pfft.
This day in the year 2010, LeBron James made the decision
on an ESPN Primetime special.
The absolute peak of Jake's fashion history
when LeBron James strode to the stage
wearing the exact same
shoes that Jake was wearing at that second. Yeah and they were not easy to
get either there was a place over on McKinney. Were you excited? Dude I
couldn't shut up. They were only like a hundred dollar shoes there wasn't
anything crazy but. That's LeBron man of the people. Yeah you're sitting here at the
boys club boys and girls club. On this day in 2018, divers rescued four of the 12 boys
who had been trapped in the flood cave in northern Thailand
with their soccer coach for more than two weeks.
Dude.
This is one of the best stories.
You ever seen the van, Dan?
Wait, no, that's a different one.
The van?
Yeah, no, that's a totally different.
It is youth soccer related.
That was the youth soccer for Trump guy?
Yeah, one of the guys that did a terrorism,
drove around a white van that said youth soccer
recruits for Trump.
Just had a picture of little kids playing soccer.
No, but this is the one where Elon, for no reason,
called a guy who built a little thing to go try
to fix the kids a pedophile.
Elon tried to insert himself by saying he could save the kid, like Tesla's going to
design a special sub.
There's just a guy who already lives there, it's like, I know how to dive, I can just
go get him.
And Elon's like, why are you there?

And then he sued him, and that guy lost.
Lost everything.
Hortz said that Elon
was allowed to call him a pedophile and on this day in 2019 billionaire
Jeffrey Epstein or financier I don't know if he was a financier so it says
here he was charged with sexually abusing dozens of underage girls more
than a decade after he secretly had cut a deal with federal prosecutors
to dispose of nearly identical allegations. A month later he would be found unresponsive
in his jail cell. The medical examiner ruled his death a suicide. And then it turns out there
actually, yeah, there was nothing to all of this, right? Yeah. Look, I mean, there probably is. I liked this.
This morning, all the accounts are just like, let's just

killed him, too to actually killed himself

So yeah, there was a lot of yelling about this thing and they're putting people in charge now that would oh this wrapped up this week It's over though. Yeah. Well, it's over for now. Like I said, I think it'll be just like the new

Dan, of the Irish receivers room?
No.
It's Jerome Bettis' son, Larry Fitzgerald's son.
Plaxico Burris, Jermichael Finley.
They're four sons.
We're collecting some sons.
Like four of the most crazy athletic NFL receivers.
Turns out they procreate.
They don't make me.
Maya Hawke is 27.

Ethan Hawke's kid.

We have our birthday of the day, the dumb zone birthday of the day.
Runner up, Blake, is Billy Crudup.
The Morning Show.
He's 57, yes, from The Morning Show.
And just reading this morning actually that Jennifer Aniston says here in this article, Jennifer
Aniston teases the morning show season four with two words fans can't ignore.
What are they?
Aniston had plenty to say about the hit series that also features Reese Witherspoon, Billy
Crudup, Mark Duplass, and Jon Hamm. She gave the perfect two-word teaser for
she gave the perfect two-word teaser for season four in the process, quote, really suspenseful.
That's what she came up with? This woman of the arts? Reallyenseful the morning show is just a book jacket film. It's layered. It's complicated. It's emotional
It hits a lot of topics and current events. So let's just say it's not friends
Rachel green aren't you she'll go there
What why is John ham still in the show
Although the season one critic ratings on Rotten Tomatoes were less than ideal at 61%,
they've improved over each subsequent season.
Season three of The Morning Show got its highest rating from critics, labeled,
quote, certified fresh by the site and earned a 75% rating.
Very excited.
Yeah. When's it coming back?
About season four.
What's better, that or the boys coming back?
Like what a year.
This is the year.
It's back to the year, Dan.
OK.
All right, before our birthday of the day,
the dumb zone birthday of the day,
Billy Crudup was only the runner up.
We do have our Henry birthday of the day.
And Henry is our intern and trying
to bring something fresh and hip and now to this segment.
He's on a hot streak.
Yeah. It's your turn. Yeah now after we introduce you is when you start
talking. Okay well let's see if we can stay on a hot streak here. My birthday
today is Ariel Helwani who covers the UFC for ESPN. I think for people his age that is a big deal. Do you know who he is right?
No. No. Okay. Blake definitely does. I thought maybe... Will he be at the White House one year
from today? Yeah. In fact, I'm positive he's interviewed Trump. Okay. He's the guy. Does
he know Rogan? Yeah. He used to be. That's a big one.
He's been pretty controversial the way he interviews.
If you're interviewing UFC guys, there's
kind of a line that you got to toe.
And he's been one of those guys where the UFC dudes get mad
at him.
What we're doing right now is very rude.
Just bail him out and let him go. Okay
Our birthday of the day good birthday. Thanks. Thank you Henry, but our dumb zone birthday of the day
Remember Billy Crudup was the runner-up. How could you be the runner-up and he's found the morning show you like one of the main
Jeffrey Tambor is 81
It was Henry. It was fine. It's fine
one. It was Henry, it was fine.
It's fine.
From Arrested Development, the Larry Sanders show.
Trouble?
Might have a chem spin towards the end.
I thought so.
It was a very edge case.
Like he was just mean.
He got fired, but it was, yeah, it was for being mean.
He was in the Me Too era, but he was just kind of an a-hole.
Maybe a little.
I think in hindsight, we probably needed like an age cut off.
Two years on either side and he doesn't get fired.
You do something bad at that moment.
Kimsven says sexual harassment on set.
Yeah but that could have been like, you're ugly.
You're hot.
Blake if you want to talk to an employment lawyer I think you could get these guys any day of the week.
So you're not wearing that shirt to highlight how good they look?
And I'm telling you how good they look.
And I'm the bad guy.
Tom Brady comes over.
Yeah, Tom Brady says the same thing.
Gordon and Corby.
Born in the state now dead.
We have John David Crowe was an Aggie, right?
Heisman?
Yeah.
And a Browns coach at one point.
Pretty exciting.
Rune Arledge invented Monday Night Football.
Ellis Alfred Swearingen who ran the notorious brothel called the Gem Theater in Deadwood,
South Dakota for 22 years.
That's a long time to run a brothel.
Toby Keith.
RIP.
Do you think he was still running promos
saying the all new Jim Brown, like Kiss FM.
TC and I were always very obsessed as a kid.
You'd hear the Kiss FM commercials with your mom
and you're like, did they change anything?
It's new every week, the all new.
We should do that for us.
What did I miss?
And then I realized, that's the thing.
The dumb zone.
I kept listening.
What did I miss?
And then Hugo Boss, the fashion designer, when looking him up,
oh, you know?
OK, I didn't know anything about Hugo Boss.
How did you not know?
I just looked him up this morning, like, oh, OK, when was he?
Because I like to put the dates they were alive here.
It's not a good range for him.
Does he believe in a respecting agency based on ethnicity and religion?
Well, first of all, he's from Germany.
Not a hot start.
And he was like in the 30s making his name.
And he thought, here's a political party that really could use some snappy
outfits that's a big client it's a big get that is a huge kid right so if you
were a yeah and as many have pointed out if you're just looking from a purely
aesthetic point of view just they do look impressive. He did some really stylish work.
Yeah.
Down to a science.
Died on this day, still dead. You have Pete Conrad.
Anyone here, raise your hand if you know who Pete Conrad is.
Incredible.
Did he walk on the moon?
He's the third man to walk on the moon.
Third? Not even these guys.
Right after Buzz.
The next one.
Educated adults in this room who would have been like
of course I know the third man who walked on the moon.
There's only been like ten.
And he's the third.
And yeah, you know the first two
and then we're like, whatever.
Might as well be like a journeyman utility utility guy for the Rangers in the 80s.
Do you know all 10 or it's just MLB managers?
MLB managers of last year.
That'd be a good one. Know all 10? It's just 10.
Yeah, it might be 12, but the point is it's not a lot.
Yeah.
No ladies have ever walked on the moon.
We've established that that would completely wreck the world's climate.
They sent a dog and a chimp up first before they let a woman.
Okay, also dead on the stay still dead,
Ken Stabler. Davy. Davy's father-in-law.
Rosie Ruiz, hard name to say.
She cheated to win the Boston Marathon.
Legend.

Should we pop on Jasmine to see how we're feeling about everything?
Jasmine, Travis, George, whoever.
Yeah.
Whoever.
Let's bring Jasmine over here.
I'm feeling like it's burger time for me.
Oh, Jasmine getting a.
Thank you very much.
Hey Blake, what's your thought on this?
Give me my respect.
What if I order on the app
and just walk up there and grab it?
So I get my points.
Definitely do that.
That's what I'm doing.
Yeah.
Okay, yeah, I'm about to let them know something.
Well, cause you're about to throw some exotic cheeses
on there that they might not know about.
They're going to.
And also it's the day of summer savings at Water Burger.
Today, buy a shake, get one free.
Jasmine is part of the huge sales force.
Massive.

I was actually conducting business outside.
I don't know if you saw me walking back and forth with my earbuds in.
Pretending.
Someone called me a boss fiat.
Yeah?
Yeah. That's a compliment, right? Do you feel like that fits? Totally. buds in pretending someone called me a boss biatch yeah yeah do you use a
compliment right do you feel like that fits yeah uh more the latter than the
boss but Jasmine was in on the early conversations in the developing the the
idea of the car tray which really I don't know we didn't develop an idea
right it was just like hey what do you want to do Jake and you're like how about
a car tree you're like okay no about a car train? You're like, okay.
No, you revolutionized it.
Yep.
According to, I'm not even joking, according to their team.
Yeah, there was some talk of that, how well these were going over with the team. So now
that our lawyer's gone, it does appear to me like there's a chance Waterburger is just
going to make these at some point. And I hope hope that they do and I hope that they're awesome.
It'd be your legacy.
It would be my legacy.
You'd be the guy that invented the chicken nugget.
In the basement.
Well, that's fine.
That's not the idea though.
That's absolutely fine.
But yeah.
This has been more than a lot of fun.
I can't believe 180 people showed up here.
Yes you can.
Yeah, I
