Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, I'm Dan McDowell, longtime professional broadcaster. Why subscribe to our Patreon podcast?

Starting point is 00:00:28 So subscribing on Patreon gets you four episodes per week. Oh my, what a bargain. Now on to today's program. Who's house? Who's house? Who's house? Who's house? All right, all right, all right, all right, all right All right, all right, all right, all right, all right I never listened
Starting point is 00:01:04 That there was a little gnat sound, as they say in the biz, from yesterday when we were at SoFi Stadium, the home of Cowboys v. Rams. Right now, we are coming to you live to tape from Neptune's Net in Southern California. We are on video today as well. So if you're just listening to this sometime in the future, go check out our YouTube page, The Dumb Zone on the Tube, and you will see some impressive what do we have going there? We got a drone
Starting point is 00:01:50 up in the air? That's the drone, baby. That's why I wanted to get out here so early. Rob. So while I was asleep on my couch, Rob was flying this drone over the ocean. You didn't sleep in the bed? No. He wouldn't even let us move the bed. You didn't sleep in the bed? No. He wouldn't even let us move the bed.
Starting point is 00:02:09 We were going to move the smaller bed into his little room. I washed the sheets. Well, yeah, you can do that on your own. Why didn't you move beds? He just likes being in there. Blake is staying in the garage in our Airbnb, but it's a very nice garage. It is. It needs no alterations.
Starting point is 00:02:25 It's fine. Okay. Anyway, so if you check out our YouTube page, you will see Rob, a video man, very impressive drone shot. Again, we're parked on the ocean. We're right across from Neptune's net. Is this a big moment for you? Me? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Can you just feel the power? Oh, yeah. No, I feel like, I'm not sure though, I'm torn. Do I want to stick it to the man and go rob a bank? Or do I just want to surf? There's so many things you could do when you're out here. Yeah, well, if you can extend the series past one movie, which another famous franchise that filmed a scene over here when Dom and Brian O'Connor first met up.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Yeah, I don't think two or three, though, would do it for me. Yeah, but what happens, though, is that you can get to ten. So you're saying nine more movies? Yeah. Oh. X. Okay, that sounds like something I'd like to do. And you're saying nine more movies? Yeah. Oh. X. Okay, that sounds like something I'd like to do. And so initially the stories are the same.
Starting point is 00:03:29 You've got, boy, every time I say Bodie, I want to say Kip now. Bodie in Utah, and then you've got Dominic and Brian, Paul Walker. But what happens is they're enemies at first, but they eventually understand they can make a lot of headway together. Maybe they work for the government in breaking up other crimes, and on the side, they can do their own hustle. There could have been ten-point breaks is what I'm telling you. Well, but that one was just so perfect. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:00 They were like, why? Or maybe it was just a different era where they weren't just capitalists looking to make every last dollar. IP out the ass. Yeah. So if you're just tuning in, I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jay Kemp. I'm Blake Jones. And we are the Dumb Zone.
Starting point is 00:04:17 We're out in California. We came here to cover Cowboys training camp. And today is the day after a game the Cowboys played yesterday, so they have a day off. So there's really nobody at training camp, and we thought, well, we're mobile. You know, back in my day, you take one on the chin. Like you just broadcast from a desolate. Well, no, I'm saying back in my day, if a team gave up a late lead,
Starting point is 00:04:44 you know, on a last-second type loss, you're back out there the next morning getting it right. Oh, I see. You're saying that's what the Cowboys did? Yeah, get in the ocean, you know, go see your family. No. We saw much of the first half. Much?
Starting point is 00:05:02 It was more than half of the first half. Okay. Right? Well over half of the first half okay right well over half of the first half we were there really also known as the first quarter well we well no i was there until almost halftime but i left after quarter one to go get some uh potty and some shade. And our driver, Matt, for the trip so accurately said, he's not coming back. And I didn't. And he didn't. I've been there before. We were in the worst seats in the stadium.
Starting point is 00:05:33 And they weren't just really high. They were also the only seats in direct sun. Yeah. And so, look. We went. We went to the game. We came. We saw. We went to the game. We came. We saw.
Starting point is 00:05:46 We kicked some ass. We saw Trey Lance really not look good. No. Just not. No. You're the second overall pick, huh? It's still third. Third overall pick.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Oh, okay. Well, then he looked kind of good for that. I love that we're going to be able to do that the rest of the time that he's here. I keep thinking he was the second overall pick. Oh, okay. Well, then he looked kind of good for that. I love that we're going to be able to do that the rest of the time that he's here. I keep thinking he was the second overall pick. Cooper Rush looked like he could have been the second overall pick. Maybe a little
Starting point is 00:06:15 competition. I don't know. Cooper Rush, we were so far away. Like the first drive, there was a real long bomb thrown. I'm like, whoa, okay, trailer. Oh, okay. That's Cooper squinting at the number.
Starting point is 00:06:31 We were so far away. That's Cooper Rush. And they wouldn't – I waited for the replay because they have this huge video screen, just like the Cowboys, and they would not put – they don't put a replay up of anything positive for the Cowboys. Yeah. Yeah, that sucks. I just thought it's not like TV.
Starting point is 00:06:48 You're not going to replay every play. That's America. Is it America? Not America. It's L.A. What did you think of the stadium? It's Ram's house. It's very cool looking.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Yeah. Have you been? No. Oh, okay. No, it's really, really cool. Like, as we were walking up, we're like, this blows Jerry World away. Yeah. I don't know how much longer AT&T has left.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Right, you think they'll? Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised. They're probably on the Rangers' plan, right? Yeah, Frisco or something. 20 years, maybe? Yeah. Or they'll pit Frisco against Arlington, and Arlington will be like, we can't lose this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:27 It's only going to be.1 cents for your grandchildren. Yeah. And the economic development that it'll bring. Complete lies. It'll bring another Hooters. But Jerry will buy it. And it'll all go to Jerry anyway.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Anyway, we have a full report on what we did. Now, Jake was not with us, so hopefully he'll have a full report on what he did. And what if we call those full report, Rob actually has his own thing that he did. So on today's program, we do have a lot of sports as I look. I hope we can fit it all in. Probably not.
Starting point is 00:08:10 But I went through that Dion press conference. Dion Sanders had a media day press conference for Colorado, and it's awesome. I hope we can get to it today. We have some cowboy audio for you and the report on the game. We have to close down the Olympics. I think you saw the king put everything on his back. No.
Starting point is 00:08:36 I mean, I'm just looking at who was the MVP. Oh, okay. I guess. Okay. Wow. I guess, you know, he just makes those around him better. Yeah. Yeah, Steph hasn't won anything without him.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Right. Could Steph have hit those shots without King James? Like, King could have taken them himself. That's amazing. Have we ever seen Steph? Steph doesn't hit buzzer beaters, of course. No, never. I think he's 0%.
Starting point is 00:09:01 For real. Look it up. Steph does not have a record of hitting buzzer beaters. Now, he has a record of hitting threes, but they're not high-pressure threes. Just like the one that he hit at the very end of that game, they were already up by like eight. They were up by eight because he hit one the last time down. I know, but, again, that wasn't pressure situation
Starting point is 00:09:21 because they were up by five at that point. The point is, you're welcome, LeBron is saying to America. Oh, no. He's definitely letting us know with his king thing. Yeah. But anyway, we'll get to that. That wasn't our Olympic talk. We have more.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Don't act like that's all we got. Well, let's do a weekend check. And how about a weekend check brought to you by Frankel & Frankel because they're our buddies. They do a weekend check. And how about a weekend check brought to you by Frankel & Frankel? Because they're our buddies. They're a great sponsor. Without them? We wouldn't have mints. Would we be out here?
Starting point is 00:09:53 No. We might be out here without them. I was going to say no. Oh, okay. Yeah. But we'd be heavily in debt. Yes. But you could be heavily in debt if you get screwed over by the insurance companies,
Starting point is 00:10:05 if you had a personal injury, maybe an auto accident. And Frankel & Frankel, that's who you call if you do get in an auto accident. Yeah, the people out here in Southern California, they're close to the ocean. You know, it's beautiful weather. But what they don't have is the ability to call 817 or 214-333-3333, and they need it because their freeways are absolutely bonkers. They really are. My life was in danger multiple times over the past three days.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Yeah. And I thought, what if someone runs into me? Who am I going to call? Do I just hit zeros? Yeah, I don't know if they'd help you out here. They might. They might, but it's a lot easier if you're in the DFW area because they are Dallas-based. Yeah, so call immediately if you do get in a wreck.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Very easy phone number, 214 or 817. All threes, 333, 33, 33. I had a friend who got in an accident recently. They called the place that they were trying to call. You know who picked up? A janitor. Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Well, I would have suspected maybe like the front desk receptionist would pick up. Wouldn't even that. Then they would throw you to just somebody who wasn't that high level. Not even that. You will talk to a partner when you call Frankel and Frankel.
Starting point is 00:11:19 They have over 100 years combined experience and their attorneys used to defend insurance companies, so they will use that extensive experience to advocate on your behalf. Thank you, Frankel and Frankel Personal Injury Lawyers. All right, weekend check. Who wants it? Because I... I assume you guys is like a joint check.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Not totally. We do everything together. Well, Saturday I decided I need to get my steps up, and I just want a little bit of a change. I like routine, but I want a little change. So I walked to Brecke. Where'd you go? Now, I went to Rosa Bella's.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Never been before. Didn't look at Yelp. Don't know. Sounds like a strip club. All I know, it was half the distance of Pete's. Never been before. Didn't look at Yelp. Don't know. Sounds like a strip club. All I know, it was half the distance of Pete's. And I wanted to walk. So a walk to Pete's would have been like an hour. This was like a half hour.
Starting point is 00:12:17 And a huge red flag when I first got there because it was completely empty. Not one person in there. And it was like the heart of breakfast time so uh but while walking through the little neighborhoods on my way to breakfast i saw like what looked to be i don't know what it was but it would look like an alien or something it just looked gooey and then i see something else and it looks like an alien or something. It just looked gooey. And then I see something else and it looks like, what is the... I've seen something like that.
Starting point is 00:12:50 And then I saw... I don't know if it was a dog or a cat, but an arm separated from... Oh, no. And then as I got to the next yard, I saw more like fuzz and entrails.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Was it a coyote? I believe we have wildlife out here that attacked somebody's little animal. That's tough. So watch that if you're bringing your dog out here. I almost took a picture of it to prove it to you. And then I thought, I don't want this picture on my phone. Oh, whatever. So I did not.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Then, as I was walking back, I took a different route because I didn't want to see that. And I thought, oh, I'll see something different. Very fair. And I see this bag. It was like a gallon Ziploc bag. I was like, is it full of urine? Oh, no. Like it was sealed, but it was like sitting there.
Starting point is 00:13:44 And then right past it was a gallon Ziploc bag, and I'm like, I know that's poop. Like is there a homeless guy walking around and that's where he goes? But then he just decided now it's time to discard it. I filled up these two bags. Was it just on the sidewalk? Yeah, it was like on the... But no side of the... The curb.
Starting point is 00:14:05 The transient? No. Then I got to thinking, I wonder if I lent a homeless guy my watch and phone for a day, how many steps does he get? Because I'm measuring my whole life in steps now. Yeah. And trying to get Blake's 17,000 record for the trip.
Starting point is 00:14:25 And really, that was my whole morning of Saturday. And then I did not go to crypto Nick Black's house. You were right. I was, like, just dead. I don't know how you've done what you've done. Now, you are over 10 years younger than me, so maybe that's it. Doesn't hurt. I needed Saturday. I totally needed to just kind of do... I mean, I did walking. I got steps in,
Starting point is 00:14:53 but I just needed to not do anything. And it really felt great, because then I got back from breakfast, like, laid down for an hour. I just... Like, I don't have anything in me. I'm so out. But I feel great right now. Like, I feel like I needed that day to have this day. And then some of our weekend will meld, and maybe we should just change, save it for like a Cowboys segment, because we did go to the Cowboys game, took a field trip to LA. Let me ask this. What did you do Saturday? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:27 We had like a two-and-a-half-hour long business meeting. Oh, that's right. Really drained us. That's right. I need another Saturday. I don't feel great. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:37 I could use another Saturday. Okay. Well, yeah, we did spend time with Chris on the phone. Okay. And worked up some things. Could have called me. You did not indicate you had one second free
Starting point is 00:15:52 and I wouldn't have thought you would with your family. Could have been a nice excuse. You're probably at Disneyland. Oh, okay. Yeah, I forgot about that meeting.
Starting point is 00:16:02 What was Saturday night as far as grub? Have you had your sushi? Spencer's? No, we tried for sushi, but they were... We went there like the second they opened. I want him to get his sushi. We went there at 5 p.m. was the second they opened.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Yeah. And all it had was reserve signs on every table, and then we just said three. And they're like, we can get you in like two hours from now yeah our next yeah we can get your table at seven so back to 502 yeah so we went we went to spencer's but we got a resi for tomorrow for sushi yeah you in oh for sure okay for sure yeah um yeah so i got in pretty late Friday. And then on Saturday our plan was to kind of take it easy and go to the beach.
Starting point is 00:16:50 I thought we were staying. We stayed in Manhattan Beach. Your family flew out here. Yeah, my two kids, my wife, and then my wife has three half-sisters from her dad's second marriage. He got younger at that position. So they're all between like 22 and 24, I think. Maybe 25. I honestly don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:10 It's weird because these are people that I met whenever I was, or when they were 10, 11, 13. And I could have the ages wrong. I don't know. I know they're all like out of college. So she was staying with us. We stayed in between Venice Beach and Santa Monica. So on Saturday, we went to breakfast on the beach. We went down to the beach, hung out there for a few hours.
Starting point is 00:17:37 And then on Saturday night, I've never actually been to Venice Beach proper. Oh, really? No. I've never actually been to Venice Beach proper. Oh, really? No. So I got Saturday night right around dusk. You know, it's 5 o'clock when we got down there. We stayed until 8 or 8.30.
Starting point is 00:17:57 And it's obviously a scene, you know. It's kind of like Bourbon Street, but there are less tourists. There are tourists, and there are tourist shops for sure. But it's popping. You know, and that skate park down there, the Venice beach skate park, which is like right on the ocean. That's a very, very famous one, like from the roots. Oh yeah. So it's like sunset, huge skate park. I would say it's three deep all the way around the railing of people watching, um, which is, that's a lot of tourists. But I took my daughter up there and i was like you gotta check this out because they had kids who were probably seven eight years old that were you know hitting
Starting point is 00:18:30 like a full bowl not weed we'll get to that you just want to show her yeah she was like that kid looks my age i'm like he's not much older how little you're doing in life and yeah pretty much could be doing uh they've got like a separate deal where it's just people who are roller skating but dancing. Very popular in certain communities. Like the roller skating. You've never seen that? I don't know. Wasn't it like T.I. in a movie?
Starting point is 00:18:55 It was like this. In certain black communities, it's very popular to dance to 70s funk or even almost like disco on roller skates. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. like 70s funk or even almost like disco on roller skates you know okay super bowl halftime yeah yeah um but it's a it's a wild scene down there man you know i i felt totally fine because sometimes i'll forget i have kids with me and i'm like what are you gonna do you know like i'm a grown man i never felt danger but when you do have a one and a half and a five year old and then my uh i guess sister-in-law is kind of like very much experiencing culture shock because there's weed everywhere and there's
Starting point is 00:19:33 people screaming and there's bike tricks and guys with guitars and guys who have a microphone just rapping it's just it's a sensory overload when first got down there, right after we parked and walked down to the pedestrian lane, right on Ventura Beach, my wife and my son in the stroller were up about five feet. I was in the back of the caravan with Maggie,
Starting point is 00:19:58 sister-in-law, and daughter. And my daughter, I swear to God, goes, ooh, that smells good. What is that? And Maggie and I both looked at each other like trying not to laugh. Like who said it? Your daughter did? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:13 And it was like overpowering weed smell. It was everywhere. What is that? That smells good. I like that. A little peek into her future. Yeah. So that was cool.
Starting point is 00:20:24 We were down there for most of the evening and then the next day we went to Disney. This time last year we went to the regular old Disneyland and now they have like Adventure Park, which is just rides. Possibly a miscalculation because my son is too young to do most rides and my daughter pretty much only wants to see the princesses
Starting point is 00:20:45 which don't really exist in the adventure park she did warm up quite a bit um i think the sparest rides that they have at any theme park are the ones that are all height all ages and it's like the time that i called you guys last year when we were still doing the hang zone where you get in a thing you know a little cart and it's just you're going through like a cavern cave thing with animatronics. Yeah. It's not a real ride. They're just telling you the story of the movie as you move. She hated it.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Oh, she did? She's just like, it's loud, it's dark, there's no excitement here. It's lame. It's essentially just like watching the movie, but things don't move as fast. Uh-huh. And she hated it, hated it it but then we got her into a couple of like actual rides and she was on board with it so um i think she's getting there she wanted to do the big roller coaster and i'm like trust me babe you don't it's a little much for you
Starting point is 00:21:36 but i did laugh at this though uh one of the first rides we did was uh cars the movie. And it's kind of like a... It's similar to the teacups in the old park, where you're spinning around and, you know, it's supposed to make you dizzy. But in the movie Cars, there is a car, an anthropomorphic truck, voiced by Larry the Cable Guy. And he's kind of like... Well, he's just doing Larry the Cable Guy. His name is
Starting point is 00:22:06 Mater. And he'll, he's a tow truck, right? So, for example, when we got to a Finding Nemo ride, Finding Nemo, Dory is voiced by Ellen. Ellen does not lend her voice to the ride.
Starting point is 00:22:21 The way that many actors and actresses do. It's a knock-upup or knock-off rather dory and i could tell right away ellen doesn't need to check larry the cable guy's like just what do you got what do you got take it for me so uh i heard it i couldn't get my phone out in time so i stayed back for the next group so i could play this for you here's the initial larry the cable guy as mater from cars um pre-game for the ride hey friend it's major now listen up while i give you this important secret magic from the man hey that's simple enough. Keep your hands in.
Starting point is 00:23:16 He's doing his bit. You can hear me in there. We got off, and I'm telling my wife, and I think it was Carter at this point, just go ahead. I need to hear this. So here's what came next. Hola Madonna.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Por favor. Para susperidad. Para nascar sentado. Hola. What you have here is Larry the Cable Guy speaking Spanish but he has to keep the Larry the Cable Guy accent. Oh okay. I couldn't tell what he was saying. Hola. Bienvenido.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Por favor. Excellent. Hola. Bienvenido. Por favor. Excellent. Manos. Intra. Hola, Madonna. Por favor. Para su seguridad. Permanece en su lado.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Hola, Madonna. Prada. Yes, yes. La tradición. Corita. Excellent. Oh, supercano. Supercanos. I could not stop laughing. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Like, he just has to stay in that character. Yeah. Because, like, it doesn't sound weird when Dory switches to Spanish or when Ariel switches to Spanish. But when Larry the Cable Guy has to do, I was like, dude, I got to go back. me and veneto i was like dude i gotta go back and then the last thing i'll tell you um you've probably experienced this but like so again my sister-in-law she's like 22 23 she's she's super cool she's super smart she's a teacher softball coach at a private school she's doing well for herself but she's not used to being around little kids. She sees them twice a year, three times a year. And especially at that age, your patience level
Starting point is 00:24:51 is pretty thin. And so I could tell she was really being tested. You know, she was kind of on the trip to help us out. We paid for everything. But if I have both my kids in the car and they start now crying, I don't want to hear. I'll try to shush. Not even shush. I'll be like, it's okay. It's okay. Or I'll let them cry it out. But if they start yelling and having fun, I start yelling.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Like Carter will yell and Nora just will yell back. And then I yell. And if we're all doing, or he yells like, sister, then she'll yell Carter. And then I'll yell Carter. It's better to lean into it. We just scream. If what they're doing only annoys me, I don't stop it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Annoy me all you want. I made you. If they're hitting each other or they're, like, whatever, biting, then I'm like, I can't really do that. If you start trying to stop that, then it's like you're always stopping all fun. And I don't. Yeah, you want to lean into the stuff that's actually harmless and fun. I will just scream with them. And we'll scream at the top of our lungs when I pick
Starting point is 00:25:50 both of them up for ten minutes. But she's not used to that. And so, over a three day period, I can't tell you how many times I heard her in the third row being like, can we play a quiet game? Carter doesn't understand to begin with.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Nora does, but you're only going to make it worse. So as long as it's not hurting each other or in distress, I encourage it. But she was really having a tough time. And then it made me think about just like how much you normalize and internalize like kid volume and actions once you have kids. You're just like, that's nothing to me. And I said to her like last night when we were getting out of the car, I was like, dude, you wouldn't last a day in this world. She's beaten by it. No, that's why.
Starting point is 00:26:40 And that's how most people who don't have kids would be. Yeah, sometimes that's the best birth control for the young 20-something. Because she'd be like, he's why. And that's how most people who don't have kids would be. Yeah, sometimes that's the best birth control for the young 20-something. Because she'd be like, he's upset. Later on, it'll be like, oh, I need my clock's ticking, blah, blah, blah. But for now, that's good. She'd be like, he's upset. Leave him alone. I'm like, he's not upset.
Starting point is 00:26:56 He's just being one and a half. He screams. Yeah, he's just a moron. He just loves being loud. The most interesting man on the trip is probably Rob. I don't think that's true. I don't think there's a probably about it. He's always got something going on.
Starting point is 00:27:12 And do you think Rob is going to take a Saturday and say, you know what, I just need a rest day. No. I need to do nothing. I don't. I don't. I saw Rob in the morning, and then I don't know if I saw him again. I think I even was up in my room prepping for bed by the time he ended up getting home.
Starting point is 00:27:35 What did you do Saturday? I left at 8 and then got back at 8. Yeah, something like that. Okay. So I booked a kayak tour of Santa Barbara's Harbor. And it was pretty cool. It was a little bit of a wildlife situation. Got to see, let's see, we saw some, there's a sea lion out there on the, we got pretty far off the coast.
Starting point is 00:28:00 I was pretty surprised. Almost maybe a mile, not maybe, a half mile. And pretty long kayak tour. And then when we came back, the guide had never seen this in her three years. We had some bottlenose dolphins cruising across the front of us, and they were gigantic. And so then came back through the docks, and it was kind of cool because you got to kayak underneath the dock and all around the boats and stuff, so you got to see some pretty cool stuff. How many people were on the kayak? Probably like 10 or so, a lot of doubles.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Okay. It was one single, and then me and this other kid were at the singles. Everybody else was doubling up. How long was the tour? About two hours. So it was a good workout. So you had to drive up there, right? No, I took an Uber because I wanted to leave you boys in the car,
Starting point is 00:28:53 which doesn't sound like anybody used the car. We went to Spencer McKenzie's. Oh, good. I'm glad. No, we used it throughout the day. Good. I'm glad. Yeah, because I didn't want to leave you guys without the car. It wasn't just parked there.
Starting point is 00:29:04 But I saw something kind of interesting on the – after the tour, I went back and hit the bathroom, and then I was going to go walk around Santa Barbara a little bit. But walking up a path, I spotted this. And we have a couple walking their dog. Oh, wow. This is like the Boston – what's that thing called? So it's a robotic dog. Yeah, so I stopped to catch some video.
Starting point is 00:29:27 I've seen these, yeah. Boston Dynamics. Would you have kicked it? And here it comes back. Or it's coming back to me. I stopped the video, unfortunately, because the guy stopped and had it sit. So they have one regular dog. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:40 And then one Boston Dynamics looking robot dog. Now we're calling them regular dogs. And what's the point of having a robot dog? Just to show people that you have a robot dog? I was going to say, what do you think? What are you going to do with it? That's the same Waymo spinner thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:54 I was noticing that too. It must be some sort of proximity thing or something. So there's your robo dog. We should, since you mentioned that. I don't like that at all. We suck. We can go out of order that. I don't like that at all. We suck. We can go out of order a little bit, but yesterday, after the game,
Starting point is 00:30:10 Blake booked a Waymo. Do you remember Waymo? I do, and I'm not going to do it this time, Blake. Oh, your heat joke? Oh. But now I think it's funny. A lot of support, by the way.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Now he's not going to do it. No, so what it is is the driverless Uber. Yeah. Basically. Autonomous vehicle, which apparently there's a wait list for, but the subbie that we met up for and had breakfast with before the game, he invited us, and we got to skip the wait list. Oh, nice.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Like Matt, Matt Grimm, our driver on the trip, he signed up on the wait list. He hasn't gotten approved yet. No. And that was like two days ago. Look at that. So, yeah, it's really, you know, it's kind of felt like the first time I got in a Tesla.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Yeah. It feels like that on the inside, right? Everything futuristic. It feels computery. And then there's just no driver at all. Yeah. It has camera, like a 360-degree camera thing on the top of it, like where the taxi sign would be.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Dude, my thing is moving. It goes fast. And, yeah, it's pretty amazing. It kind of welcomes you in. You could change the music. You could put ambient, you know, like soothing music, like at a massage. Or you could have...
Starting point is 00:31:36 He was... Blake was laughing because he fired up. He just hit some hip-hop, and then it got us some Kendrick, and we had N-bombs flying. We had some Future going on. Which I thought was funny in that car. What did you think? The car was going to be like, hey, whoa, I don't like that.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Well, I don't know. Well, when you get in, it feels, yeah, massage music, and it's like, yeah, this is the Future. And then, yeah, we threw on some Future. Yeah, then we went. It just felt funny. We just had it drive us, you know, what, five or ten minutes away. Just so we could get.
Starting point is 00:32:08 We went to a. That's awesome. We found a close fish taco place because I didn't want to wait an hour and a half to get back to town to eat. Did you ever feel like it was close to danger or pretty solid? Yes. There was one time in particular where it was trying to turn left across traffic, and there was a car also turning the other way, so I didn't know if it could see the cars beyond it or not.
Starting point is 00:32:32 But it did fine. Yeah. But also, when it did turn left at the light, it did what I feel, at least in Texas, is an illegal move. Because it did a wide left and went to the far right lane. So it turned left onto a three. It left its lane. A three lane.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Yes, you're supposed to go left into the tight lane. Yeah. There it is right there, actually. Right here. And then switch over to the right. And that's how my daughter got in the exit a few weeks ago. If you remember, somebody was turning right and they went blind. While illegal, to be honest, that's the most human thing you could do
Starting point is 00:33:13 because everyone does that. Yeah, and especially because the taco place was on that side of the... Yeah. So you wanted to get set up there. That's wild. No, it was very cool. Yeah, I would have no problem taking those instead of Ubers. Let's go back to the dog, though.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Back to the robot dog? I mean, what are we even doing? Yes, it is just to say, like, hey, I've got this, and probably the guy is somehow involved in, he probably invests in it, right? Yeah. If you had some practical use for it, though, what does it do for you? Like if it picks up your dog's poop, I'd walk around with it. You'd pay $10,000 for it?
Starting point is 00:33:51 No, but... That's what I'm saying. I mean, how cost-effective could anything that this thing is doing be? It's just to show people. And, yeah, the real... Here's when we'll know that we crossed the rubicon right you know how like when you read a story about a police dog that was killed in like a shootout or something in the line of duty but they charge you like you killed an officer
Starting point is 00:34:16 the second that i get charged for battery of an officer because I punted a police robot into the ocean, that's when I'll know I'm moving to the woods, I'm writing a manifesto. Yeah, the police robot, we understand that. That blew up that one guy, right? Yeah, Dallas. But once they make it like a dog and it has sort of a... Right, and it sits and rolls over.
Starting point is 00:34:42 They give it a name, not just Bombot. I mean, I guess the point is if you want a dog, but you want to be able to travel a lot, you want to go on vacation and not have to pay for boarding it. What do you do, like fold its legs in like a table? You don't have to clean up. Oh, I got one for you. You walk in the morning, you don't clean up.
Starting point is 00:35:03 The best is going to be when you go to the airport or, in our case, a sandwich shop in Flagstaff and somebody has their emotional support robot dog. Right. Yeah, just listen to this podcast in 10 years. Did we interrupt you, Rob, or are we good on your weekend check? Okay. I think I'm going to hit the Ventura has a one-hour rentals. If you guys want to do that, maybe tomorrow. It's fun.
Starting point is 00:35:28 It's only an hour. It's $19. Kayak? Yeah. I'm out. Why? You don't really have to work that hard. No, it's really easy to paddle.
Starting point is 00:35:38 I was surprised. Just flow. And you don't feel like you're going to flip at any point. They're pretty wide. Like, I've been on a few kayaks that are narrow, and they kind of, they roll. And we get some waves and stuff. Can I just ask this? Why not? What is the reason? One hour.
Starting point is 00:35:52 What if I just, so you want us to just revert to saying okay, maybe, and then not doing it? No, but I'm saying, what is the reason why you wouldn't want to just go get in the water on a little vessel? You're asking why not, but I'm asking why. Like, there's no... I would get
Starting point is 00:36:08 nothing out of it. That's kind of like having a robot dog. What's the practical purpose for it? To be in the ocean, to be able to stare out into the big ocean. That doesn't interest me. The water is right around you. You can see seals and stuff. What are you going to do with the seal? You know, who knows?
Starting point is 00:36:25 I've been away. Them dolphins are attractive. Okay. What are you going to do with the seal? You know, who knows? I know you're attracted. I've been away. Them dolphins are attracted. Yeah. Well, then let's move to Sunday, and we can, yeah? Yeah. We can call this sports, I suppose, because we went to sports. What did you do yesterday, Jake?
Starting point is 00:36:44 Yesterday was Disney. Saturday was beach. I like that do yesterday, Jake? Yesterday was Disney. Saturday was Beach. Oh, Saturday was Beach. Yeah, so I tried to get as much Blue Star Network Rams game in this morning and I did get to see I went back and watched, as you say, the King
Starting point is 00:36:58 Save Us the fourth quarter and then I watched the end of the women's game yesterday. That Steph shot is sweet. Sweet picture. The women Yama. Yeah, it's ridiculous. I mean, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:12 I don't know. Nuit, Nuit, did you see the shirt? I already bought mine. You did? Yeah. That's dope. I want one. Yeah, the ridiculous shot was insane,
Starting point is 00:37:20 but, I mean, the one where France was coming back and I think it was a three-point game and he makes it, mean that was the biggest shot of the game yeah that was awesome dude the big flurry to end yeah and i agree with everyone on twitter it was nice having him on my side for once yeah it was uh ethan wrote about this ethan strauss but it's been a weird bit we talked about it a little bit with kevin durant uh you know at the Denver guy who wanted to give Serbia their props because of... Serbia or Croatia? Serbia. Serbia because of Jokic.
Starting point is 00:37:54 And then that guy posted... This is how you know Kevin Durant is very online. So then on Sunday... Or was it Saturday? The men's. Saturday. Which is weird, right? That's a group chat topic. Like why wouldn't you
Starting point is 00:38:06 end with the men's? Yeah, the intercontinental match doesn't come after the world heavyweight. Yeah. Thank you. But that guy posted a picture of himself the guy from Denver in like a USA jacket when it was time for the gold medal game
Starting point is 00:38:21 and Kevin Durant quote tweeted that and instead of putting any text, he just took a screenshot from a famous video of Ja Morant after he came back from suspension. And Ja Morant is in the tunnel after the game, and he played really well. And he's like, haters, stay on that side. If you're on that side, stay on that side.
Starting point is 00:38:41 And Kevin Durant literally just found that video, took a still shot of it, no context, no text, and just quote tweeted that guy's tweet. He's good at Twitter. He's very good at Twitter. Did you enjoy the breakdancing? I tried to read as much as I could about it. Apparently it's just some Australian dork with a PhD.
Starting point is 00:39:03 People were mad about it. Yeah, she had written a paper or something on breakdancing. Like cultural movement. Yeah. And she's trying to expose that it's pigeonholed into some racist, like it can only be a way that black people
Starting point is 00:39:18 can dance and that it's the cultural hegemony. And then all these people who are real break dancers are like, this is all anybody's talking about. Like we're actually athletes. That's up to the fan to decide, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:36 And it is very much a white liberal, frankly, female thing to do of like, I'm going to use this as an examination of culture. And then it just blows up in your face. But it's funny, people complaining about what she did as that diminishes it. And that's likely to, you know, it's only like a trial sport at the Olympics. It's likely to not have it in the future.
Starting point is 00:39:58 And I just thought, okay, I don't care. Who cares if there's no break dancing in the future? Like at the Olympics. Like gymnastics sucks enough. Don't we already have that? It's very popular. I know, but... It's hard to have things that are judged.
Starting point is 00:40:14 Yeah, to judge, there's no actual scoreboard. You can't tell. The layman can't follow along and go, this is, I don't know. Well, I mean, that's the controversy in gymnastics, right? Right. And that's why I say that sucks, too. But you're right.
Starting point is 00:40:29 It is popular. They're battling back and forth. No, I mean on the judgment. Yeah. They're battling back and forth over that bronze medal. Oh, yeah, yeah. Jordan Childs, because they corrected it on site and said that she edged her out. But they didn't correct it within a one-minute time period.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Yeah. And this just goes to prove that this quote sport does quote suck. And if that's how they're settling these things and who care, give them all bronzes, take it away and don't give them. I don't care. Yeah, I do not care. No. And most people probably don't outside of wives.
Starting point is 00:41:07 But, you know, I mean, it's pretty amazing. It's probably like the X Games in the sense that it matters to the people in the community who are involved in it. There's a lot of people who consider themselves athletes. Well, I care a lot about the X Games. I know. That's why I tried to localize it for you. Right.
Starting point is 00:41:25 I'm going to play one Olympics piece of audio for you, okay? This is something from Peacock. Ty Kelly, welcome to your daily Olympic recap, your personal rundown of yesterday's most thrilling Olympic moments. Since you're a swimming fan, let's head right to the pool. Team USA secured a stunning victory in the men's 4x100 meter medley relay smashing the world record over at the diving venue krista palmer showcased resilience and skill overcoming past knee surgeries to qualify for the women's springboard final all
Starting point is 00:41:57 right you already know what this is right that must be a i l mike we talked about this right no but now i've heard i've heard a little bit of it. Who's Kelly? The studio host. Oh. Oh, I thought, because I've heard they personalize it for people. I was going to say, are they targeting your preferences? Like if you download the app, put in your name on the app, it'll say, hi, Jake. Like every day. Okay, I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:42:19 I read an article about this that made a bunch of audio. And I didn't know it. Was it in Wired? I don't recall but i know the what i read about it was indicating if you you download the app on your phone type in your name actually because people say i like basketball i like this i like that it will then consolidate those things and make it for you only that makes sense because peacock's president's name is Kelly Campbell. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:46 And I assume that this is all from a PR release that they provided. Meanwhile, a tough break for Canada's Pamela Ware. Meanwhile, he does it. That's good. Meanwhile, a tough break for Canada's Pamela Ware as a failed final dive scored zero, ending her bid for the final. Check out these highlights from yesterday's action. Sounds a lot like him.
Starting point is 00:43:05 I mean, it's like 5% off. But I don't know that I would have immediately been able to tell if you had not told me prior. I wonder if they're – they've got to be giving him like a million bucks or something. They paid him a lot. I know that. But let's say they said, hey, $2 million, you can come out here to France. $1 million, you just stay home.
Starting point is 00:43:21 And he's like, didn't you pay Snoop Dogg $500,000 a day? Yeah. So, no. Yeah, but you get to be out there, you just stay home. And he's like, didn't you pay Snoop Dogg 500 grand a day? Yeah. So, no. Yeah, but you get to be out there if you're Al Michaels. What does he care? Traveling the world? He's all old and he doesn't eat vegetables. He probably just wants to stay home.
Starting point is 00:43:36 The vegetable thing is amazing. But, yeah, apparently we asked this question the other day. This is like the most successful from a consumer audience standpoint Olympics in a long long time they figured it out what? they stopped doing the deal where you can only watch the big stuff at night in the prime time wrap up so if you have Peacock now
Starting point is 00:43:56 which is relatively affordable and probably a lot of people are just going to buy it for two months and either forget about it or cancel it if you want to watch the gymnastics women's final live at noon central time, you can. Whereas before, you couldn't. And you can also watch it later? Yeah, then that one's on primetime.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Primetime person who doesn't live online? Exactly. Yeah. And they finally decided, let's just give everybody everything all the time, and they'll figure it out. And they've got Gold Zone, which is supposed, I haven't watched it, but I saw a couple clips, which is like Red Zone, where they flip around to
Starting point is 00:44:33 you know, alright, we're going over to the diving final here, and then we'll come back to women's soccer in the second half. The 10 most streamed days I think in Peacock history were all during this Olympics. And then the other thing, and I don't know if this is true or not. What has Peacock ever had?
Starting point is 00:44:53 Well, they had the Olympics last time. Oh, okay, and nobody cared. Nobody cared. And another thing that they did this time, I've only heard this speculated about, but that in years past, NBC, since they've had the bid, which I think might have been 92, something around there, they haven't prioritized showing men's basketball as much as they should have, even though it's by far the most popular sport in the Summer Olympics. But now, they got the rights. Yeah. So now they're like, hey, let's pump up the NBA and the stars as much as we can.
Starting point is 00:45:31 We'll put this on every channel we can. We'll put it on live. We'll put it on recap. We'll put it on archive. Now they're like, yeah, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, and, you know, even Jokic. Like, let's promo the heck out of that. And we got the theme.
Starting point is 00:45:44 They played the theme all weekend, too. Yeah, so kind of an interesting year from, like, where are we headed with streaming standpoint. Yeah. Also, you guys went to L.A., and I think that's what we were supposed to talk about. No, no, that's the Olympics' part. The Olympics is in L.A. in four years, too,
Starting point is 00:46:03 if we're still coming out here. We have to decide, do we actually want to do that? That's going to be mayhem. Or do we want to avoid that year? What if it's USA versus Slovenia basketball? Oh, you don't even have to ask me. Could be. That'd be cool.
Starting point is 00:46:19 You'll spend the $500 to get in? Oh, I thought you were asking me, like, who I would root for. No, we'd have to go. Oh, okay. Yeah, Slovenia all the way. Yeah, I thought you were asking me who I would root for. No, we'd have to go. Oh, okay. Yeah, Slovenia all the way. Yeah, I'd root for Luka. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:30 It's going to be weird, though, right? I mean, that's one thing that was kind of cool about it. Will he be coming off of his third MVP? Maybe. That's one thing that's kind of cool about, you know, I don't know. And he won't even have to travel because the Lakers, he just. Ah, you son of a bitch. LeBron, Bronny, and Luka.
Starting point is 00:46:49 You know, we've talked about like a post-LeBron and Steph economy, but that's what was kind of cool about them winning. And I know LeBron said like, you know, he was asked, you know, we had the dream team, the redeem team. What is this team? Do you know? No. He was like, the Avengers.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Why? redeem team what is this team do you know no he was like the avengers why why i don't know because they're the ones who are saving the world from it literally might be the best basketball team ever assembled have you seen the the list of like who the dream team how many nba players they played yeah it's like's like nine. Yeah. This was like, you know, 70 or something. But most of those guys will be gone next time. You're going to have to get Ja to stop firing guns. Yeah, that's the interesting thing about the Dream Team is just that they're so old. Yeah. Like their best players are late. Like their current team?
Starting point is 00:47:41 Yeah. There's no way LeBron plays in the next Olympics. Yeah. Or Steph, really. Probably not. KD maybe, but he'll be a shell. But the over 35 NBA player used to not exist. I mean, Michael Jordan was out of the league by 37.
Starting point is 00:47:57 I think 38. You know, even. He's projected to be in the next one. I would hope so. Even when Kareem was... Derek Lively? Yeah. I was just going to say, even Kareem, when he was old,
Starting point is 00:48:10 he wasn't doing what LeBron is doing. He was like... Well, nobody ever has. Averaging 12 a game and whatever just because he's all tall. Cowboys game. So we drove to the Cowboys game. We did meet up. We had a meet up with listeners plan, like a bunch of people had emailed Blake, and then he got back with all of them and
Starting point is 00:48:32 said, this is where we'll be, and this is what time we'll be there. And one guy, Stephen, right? Yeah. A little more popular in Amarillo. Well, but remember one of the guys in Amarillo was worried he'd be the only guy. Yeah. And he thought it would be awkward. Well, one of the five guys that had emailed us in L.A. showed up. And it didn't feel awkward, though. I don't know. He was a good guy.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Yeah. We had breakfast with him. Brunch, maybe you would call it. Yeah. If it's Sunday, I think you have to call it that. Okay. I think so. And I had already eaten breakfast a few hours prior.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Early morning guy. I'm on Texas time, so it's like, oh, out here I'm like a god. I'm up at 6. It's like, oh, my God. Look at this guy. And no matter how early I get up, this guy's down there on his third cup of coffee, so there's no way to get beat Rob. You might beat Rob. Every day.
Starting point is 00:49:28 That's honestly the only reason I do it. Just to say I'm better than him at one thing in life? Yep. Okay. Every day. Oh, Rob, boy. Sleep a little late there, pal? Hey, old man. This, of course, was an epic rematch of the
Starting point is 00:49:43 1979 NFC Divisional Playoff game, which was an upset. The Rams. Quarterbacks, Pat Hayden, and in his last game, Roger Staubach. Wow. I didn't know he went out in the Divisional round. Was Pat Hayden the guy that became the USC Athletic Director? Yes.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Okay. They would go on to the Super Bowl that year, the Rams. The Cowboys would not. So 21-19 at Texas Stadium, an upset loss. And so the Cowboys really had that on their mind. They've been talking about that all week. Bulletin board. That's what they've been thinking about.
Starting point is 00:50:20 For sure. Had this game circled for months. It's a 45th year anniversary. A big one. Yeah, for sure. And anyway, I don't even know who won. The Cowboys did not win, right? No. No, Stetson Bennett.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Did you see the ending? Pulled it together there at the end. No. What happened? Stetson threw his fourth interception. About four minutes to go. Cowboys kick it filled. So he went the whole game?
Starting point is 00:50:49 I don't know if they have another quarterback on the roster. Oh, they have Jimmy G. What? What are you saying? They have Jimmy Garoppolo, but he's suspended. Oh, okay. And so I think Stetson may be their only quarterback on the roster. That they're going to play.
Starting point is 00:51:06 They're not going to play Stafford. No. Okay. Is Wentz a Ram? Didn't we just talk about this? Well, he probably wouldn't play anyway. I don't know. Where is he now?
Starting point is 00:51:19 I swear to God we just talked about this the other day. I don't know where Wentz is. The Chiefs. He already went. where Wentz is. The Chiefs. He already went. He's Chiefs? The Chiefs. Anyway. Sorry, my bad.
Starting point is 00:51:32 Yeah, Stetson Bennett, that's a weird one, you know. Because I remember he was in their first series, so. Yeah, he played the whole game through four interceptions, nearly a fifth, but then he led a two-minute drive, and they scored on fourth down with four seconds left. Just clutch, baby. What did it feel like on TV as far as the crowd? Because that interception sounded louder than any cheering that the Rams got.
Starting point is 00:51:55 I would say the first interception that I saw. Maybe 65, 35 Cowboys fans in there? Dude, there's so much Cowboys fans. It's amazing. And walking to our seats as the teams are running out, it did not feel like a preseason game. It was loud in there. Well, I mean, the cost would indicate that it wasn't a normal preseason game.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Yeah, but then once the game got going, there were a lot of empty seats. There were. We had the worst seats in the house, and they were $50 each. Well, that's what I'm saying, though. I mean, that makes me think there would have been a lot of people there. Maybe you guys should have waited until day of. It got down to 33. Okay, well, I don't feel too bad for forcing you then.
Starting point is 00:52:31 I was looking for obscure jerseys because everybody had a jersey on. So as far as the teams are concerned, because we did see other sports and everything, but we had Roman Gabriel from the Rams. Okay. Who got a nice little video presentation during the game. And Sam Bradford. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:52:52 From the St. Louis Rams. And then for the Cowboys, too tall. Well, we just said too tall with too tall's number. So, obviously, all these jerseys are homemade. Lots of the Latin fan. Oh. It just said too tall with too tall's number. So, obviously, all these jerseys are homemade. Lots of the Latin fan will put their own name on a Cowboys jersey. Dude, I saw when we were at – Or they've had a lot more Gonzaleses in their history than I can remember. It's possible.
Starting point is 00:53:21 When we were at camp the other day, I saw a couple of his and hers type things. Oh, yeah? Yeah, like such and such's girl, such and such's boy. Which, by the way, to revert back with it aside, very popular at Disney. The his and hers? Yeah. The couple I'm with? I'm her Mickey.
Starting point is 00:53:44 He's my Minnie. Okay. Not all I'm with. I'm her Mickey. He's my Minnie. Okay. Not all these people look like hopeless dorks. It's really weird, man. If you haven't been in a long time. Again, they're stoked. Like, Christy Scales is stoked on it. I'll bet she drags her husband along and he's just got to play along because, all right, this is her bit.
Starting point is 00:53:59 Yeah. I have a couple friends who are really, really into Disney as adults. And it's just strange to me, man. I mean, there's a lot of people there, especially in the afternoon. Like, we were there for maybe for like seven hours, and we left at 4.15, 4.30, but the park is open until midnight. Midnight? Yeah, fireworks are maybe 11, 10, something like that.
Starting point is 00:54:22 But you'll have people filing in there at 4 o'clock in the afternoon on a Saturday, and they're just there to, like, drink some beers and enjoy Disney. They've got a costume on. Their boyfriend or girlfriend or husband or wife are with them. They got a season pass maybe? Probably, yeah. It's just like, what are you doing here? But anyways.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Cowboy Wise, so too tall. Saw a Randy White. An LVE. And a Lyle Collins. One Lyle Collins. I'm frankly surprised they ever even mass-produced that. But nothing ever... The guard? Nothing too, too obscure.
Starting point is 00:54:59 I saw the actor who played Tuco. Really? Yeah. And then I saw him, like, again. And then I turned and I saw him, like, I saw him, like, a thousand. It turns out. No, we didn't. It turns out.
Starting point is 00:55:19 I should have known 500 level. This is just simply racist. I'm just saying I really thought it was him until I really thought it was him again. And then I totally thought it was him again. And after a while I got realizing that perhaps maybe
Starting point is 00:55:36 he's like that one doctor who put all his own sperm in the sperm bank or something. That's awesome. I will just give you an in-stadium review of the pregame shows where high school dance teams, they were absolutely horrible. I know we're not supposed to say anything negative about that
Starting point is 00:56:00 because they're trying and everything, but they're out of sync. And then once the Rams cheerleaders got out there, they were great, and I think they only put the terrible ones out there so that we could know what a professional squad looks like. It's Big Jim. Yes, have a fat guy sitting next to you, and you won't look as fat. But then the high school girls are trying to dance provocatively, and it's uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Oh, yeah, because they also, in the high school teams, they'll have a junior team. Yeah. One had, you know, eight-year-old girls trying to do the same thing. Yeah, that was weird. You know, we've got to train them young. Yeah, no, I mean, I told you guys, when I used to review the halftime show,
Starting point is 00:56:41 this would always be a big problem for me. Because, let's face it, there's 17,000 people in there. There's a half dozen pedophiles. Oh, yeah. Do you think that they just simply don't enjoy basketball at any level, especially the NBA?
Starting point is 00:56:58 And I've got nine-year-olds you know, shorty got low, low, low. I'm like, dude, this is is bad this is a horrible thing and then inevitably somebody who went to that school or dance troupe class would would tell me like they've been working really hard on this my daughter was in that class and i'm like your daughter's a whore yeah thank you is uh i'm not sure this world of kneeling and standing and protesting, like, and the flag. I thought the flag was this, um, you're not allowed to do anything to the flag.
Starting point is 00:57:36 Don't sully the flag. So, is literally cutting a flag. A federal crime? I thought it was. Desecrating the flag because I swear the flag that they took out there was a cut, like it was a flag, a giant flag that fit like almost the whole field. You've seen that, the Cowboys, right? They have people standing all around this flag holding it up so that it will, and then they'll wave it and everything. Well, they had the same thing, but it was cut into the United States.
Starting point is 00:58:04 Ooh. And so it didn't have 50 stars. It had however many they had to cut to make it look like the continental United States. And I just wonder, should I be mad? Because I didn't know if we'd take our hats off and the anthem. Anyway. Yeah. I'm still looking for some flag.
Starting point is 00:58:25 I think we play pretty fast and loose on that one depending on who you are. Okay. Because, yeah, now you can make flag shirts and. Condoms. Really? I don't know. You have a flag condom? There you go.
Starting point is 00:58:37 If anything. Yeah, there's a picture of it if you want to see. It was actually cut into the United States. And it wasn't like then they unfurled it. Like they just held it. It was actually cut into the United States. It wasn't like then they unfurled it, like they just held it. It was cut. Yeah, I'm looking right here at American flag condoms, bag of 50. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Nice. Yeah. One thing I want to note, so they had this hot on the field doing bits, Cameron Irwin, and then she would throw it to, like, the DJ. It's like a nightclub but for 80,000 people, just like a cowboy game, I guess. And then some. And I don't know if a lot of this stems from Mark Cuban.
Starting point is 00:59:11 This is how she spells Cameron. Would all this stuff have happened with... C-A-M-R-Y-N. Yeah. Without Cuban. Because Cuban really was at the forefront of this for NBA arenas, for sure. Maybe we should compliment Humble Billy Hayes for doing this. But one time I thought it was really funny.
Starting point is 00:59:30 I don't know if you guys noticed this, but they go up on the big screen and they do one of their bits in between, you know, after a kickoff or something while it's a TV timeout. They go, congratulations to Section 408. We were in Section 526. Look it up. It's the worst section in the whole place. But they say, congrats to Section 408.
Starting point is 00:59:51 They're winners of $50, $50 gift certificate or whatever, to Paramount+. So they're trying to get people to sign up for Paramount+. You get a free $50. So that'll get you through quite a few months, you know. And by then you'll forget and you're just locked in. And it shows the cheering section 408. Like, okay, you've seen this before. Of course.
Starting point is 01:00:11 But then one section over from us is a dude probably in his mid-60s who stands up looking at the thing. He's upset because we're in section 5. He's probably 525. And he's giving double bird to the video like he's upset because we're in Section 5. He's probably 525. And he's giving double bird to the video like he's pissed. And he's 60-some years old. Yeah. He wants his free... But he's so pissed. He's like, I've been waiting
Starting point is 01:00:33 to watch Yellowstone. At goddamn Section 408. Yeah, you know, for the price of this game, you could have just stayed home and had free Paramount Plus or paid for Paramount Plus for five months. What do you call the wrestling mask? The luchador? Luchador.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Luchador? Yeah. Okay, I saw one real touching because you see them all over the place. Don't tell me it had two dates on it. Well, no. One was a guy and then his son was about eight, and he was wearing one. Like, it was like... I have no problem with that.
Starting point is 01:01:10 The wife and daughter were kind of trailing behind, looking a bit beaten. Like, yes, I'm with them. And did you tell that guy whenever he took it off to eat that you loved him in the tight, tight, tight scene? No, no, no, no. But he might have been... The lady and daughter were Latina, but I don't know about him. Maybe he wasn't.
Starting point is 01:01:29 I mean, he had the mask on. I'm going to guess. Well, I don't like the profile. No, I thought you were going to say that he had, because I've seen like the luchador that has the, speaking of Disney, you can get this at Six Flags, Disney, you see it on cars. Just the airbrush, like two dates, you know?
Starting point is 01:01:49 Like gone too soon. Oh. Yeah. Okay. And then one more thing I have besides football, and I don't really have much football, except we've talked already about how, like you could, even from a million miles away. Trey Lance sucks. Trey Lance, just not good.
Starting point is 01:02:08 Yeah. Like, dude, your third year, fourth year? Fourth year. Yeah, it should be, because next year is option year. And still pretty young. Still pretty young. Okay, keep saying stuff. The end zone now, I pointed this out to Blake.
Starting point is 01:02:26 It used to say End racism And on the Rams end zone at least It says Play football Look we bit off a little more than we could chew Like we know we can get this one done But this one I feel like we're going to check that box
Starting point is 01:02:43 At the end of the day And feel pretty good about it Or They have ended racism And now we're going to check that box at the end of the day and feel pretty good about it. Or they have ended racism, and now we're on to, I don't know. It's one of those two. That's awesome. But for sure, you're right. After the game, they can't, like, immediately you check it. Like, we've done it.
Starting point is 01:02:58 So what's so funny about that is I liken it to Cuban in the Kobe retirement jersey is, like, maybe most people didn't notice that they had to change it, but you did. When you go so big at the beginning, and you sheepishly have to be like, change the racism thing because it's still going. That's an uncomfortable meeting. And they didn't go for love each other or share kindness. They're just like, we're giving up.
Starting point is 01:03:22 It's the same thing. Let's play football. You want to put the sign in your yard for the dead kids, you're going to have to take it up at some point. Yeah, you would think. Yeah, and then is this the time? Why? Why is it the time?
Starting point is 01:03:32 Why don't you take it down? Do I no longer care about the dead kids? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so I don't know if you guys have anything from actual football or the game. I think Tyler Guyton's good. Like wondering even why they play these things.
Starting point is 01:03:45 I think DeMarvian Overshawn is good. But, yeah. No, I was more so there to see Dan at a football game, not the football game. You know, we park, I don't know, half a mile away, and he's griping on that. We have to pay $30 to park. Was there a tailgate scene at all?
Starting point is 01:04:00 Yeah. Okay. There was. There was also an L.A., like, Olympics thing. L.A. 2028 event there. Like, fan zone type thing? Yeah, no, the stadium's cool. Why am I just your monkey that you just want to take pictures of?
Starting point is 01:04:17 Look, man, we all have a role here. Trying to make a cool social media video. Okay. It's just that any time I turn around, there's, oh, look. I know, and I feel bad. There's Fat Dan. No, I'm sure you do, Dan. Not Fat Dan.
Starting point is 01:04:29 It's just it's funny to be seeing you in these environments. Would you rather me say, hey, hey, hey, hold on. Get right here. Turn around. No, no. We don't want to pose for pictures. You're right. God, that's cool.
Starting point is 01:04:41 That's beautiful. Yeah. AT&T's a dump. But, I mean, walking in, this could not be in Arlington. No. Walking in in August. It would just be too hot. It feels awesome.
Starting point is 01:04:55 I think the only way that something like this could work is if it's in a smaller city with not a whole lot of population density and they just have a huge open field in which to build it. Boyd? You know, like L.A.?
Starting point is 01:05:08 It's L.A. Of course they could figure it out. Well, it's just so hot for the open air thing. It's primarily the fall. Still. We're not talking about playing through May, June, July, and August like the Rangers have to. But then it would be too cold.
Starting point is 01:05:25 Yeah. Why don't you go? it would be too cold. Yeah. Why don't you go? There's no sweet spot. Yeah. You know, the people, Philadelphia fans typically don't come out to games because it's so cold on the East Coast in the fall. So that's why they have such a docile fan base. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:05:37 It doesn't matter what you do with the building. It's the people that suck. Yeah. Because everyone's like us. Eh, too hot. Right. Too cold. Bitchin'. Let's beat the traffic. Let's beat the traffic. Let's beat the traffic. Let's beat the traffic. Let's beat the traffic. Let's beat the traffic. Because everyone's like us. Eh, too hot. Right. Too cold. Bitchin'.
Starting point is 01:05:46 Let's beat the traffic. Us. As far as the game, I have some Bluestar Network audio if you'd like to hear it. Now, we've said this before. It's not as fun as it used to be. No. It's because they're getting better. Like, they're actually not as bad as...
Starting point is 01:06:06 I'm with him. All the tech used to be worse. Completely jacked. I'm saying it used to be more fun because Irvin would be there. Yeah, but it wasn't just Irvin. Mickey would handle all of the pregame himself. The transition from Mickey as 30% of the pregame show to Mickey by himself, because now Mickey's 30% of countdown to kickoff, and 70%
Starting point is 01:06:26 of it is Kyle Yeomans. Who, to use a damn term, seems like a haircut to me, but he's pretty smooth. Yeah. He's good on TV. Whereas Mickey was just like, it was like he was... He was a radio guy on TV. Nope. Even beyond that, he was a writer.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Yeah. Who became a radio radio guy who then became TV. He's not reading his IFBQs at all. Everything was screwed. Now they have a pretty sleek guy who wears sunglasses, and he's got cool hair, and he's got cool shoes, and Mickey's still just kind of sitting there. But that's what I think he means when he says it's gotten better. It's Isaiah Stanback and bill jones whereas they used to just rotate people in there you know they'd have i mean moose would do it or nate newton would do
Starting point is 01:07:10 it remember oh my god and it would be like absolutely i remember that mayhem yeah now it's a pretty buttoned up broadcast no i remember a certain game they had nate newton and ervin and we just had cuts for days yeah it's not like that anymore. Isaiah Stanback is trying to be serious. Well, you say it's good. I say it's not good. Brace debate. And Bill Jones is headlining this. They're a little bit before kickoff.
Starting point is 01:07:37 And I'm sensing that Bill Jones will just begin talking based on what he sees on the screen and not necessarily where the producer wants him to go. And so this first clip here... I think I know what this is. They're out of a Jalen Tolbert soundbite and on the screen is Dak Prescott, but he is supposed to be throwing it to break about Mike Zimmer.
Starting point is 01:08:04 And so he just gets caught in a pretzel here. Jalen Tolbert doing some great work in Oxnard. And one guy who has talked about him a lot is Dak Prescott. A veteran coach returns to the Cowboys, Mike Zimmer, when we come back. Yeah. You laughed over it a little bit. Okay, sorry. Yeah, that's exactly what happened.
Starting point is 01:08:25 Out of Tolbert, here's Dak. But, no, you're supposed to be throwing it to Zimmer, and so he's got to, like, somehow weave it in. Tie it together. Tie it together, but you have three seconds. So how are you going to do that, Bill? Talked about him a lot is Dak Prescott. A veteran coach returns to the Cowboys, Mike Zimmer, when we come back.
Starting point is 01:08:40 Talks. Mike Zimmer talks. Yeah, that's tough. Same thing out of the very next break. Micah is on the screen, and then they immediately go to, like, a Zimmer graphic. Micah Parsons and Mike Zimmer in Dallas. A Cowboys reunion. A little bumper cars a little bit, so it's still Blue Star Network.
Starting point is 01:09:08 This one stuck out to a lot of people because he'll set it up. It's fourth down. Quarterback has to make a play. Fourth and six for Trey Lance here. Into traffic down the sideline and out of bounds, and the ball will go over to the Rams. Into traffic down the sideline and out of bounds, and the ball will go over to the Rams. I'm not sure if he was actually trying to complete that pass
Starting point is 01:09:30 or if he was throwing it to the sideline. Either way, turnover on downs. And the Rams will take over. Yeah, I don't know if he was throwing it away there. No. I don't know that that's typically your move on fourth and six. He's going to live to fight another down in 15 minutes when they get the ball back.
Starting point is 01:09:53 That is ultimate Homerism right there. Great decision. Avoiding danger there. Yeomans is smooth, but this is a bad question. He's interviewing Jake Ferguson along the sideline. The margin for error in this league is tiny. You know, if you want to win games, you've got to make plays. Do you feel like you are ready to take that step
Starting point is 01:10:11 and become an elite NFL tight end? Well, sure, that's the goal. No, you know, I'm kind of okay with being average. I viewed myself as a TE, too. Not quite ready. Not trying to get better every day. If Hendershot comes back or if Schoonmaker can just kind of leapfrog me, I'm kind of looking to be an 18-catch-a-year guy.
Starting point is 01:10:30 I'd like to collect my check and go home, please. Working on the blocking. Yeah. Yeah. All right, the final one. I want to play Is It Racist? Dan has kind of set the scene. A lot of Mexicans in the crowd.
Starting point is 01:10:43 A lot of Mexican Cowboys fans. It's California and it's the Cowboys. So when they come out of break, they show a group of Cowboys fans who happen to be Mexican just sitting there. And I'm just curious why this musical artist came to Isaiah Stanback's mind. A 6-6 game early in the third quarter. Bill Jones along with Isaiah Stanback with Kyle Yeomans on the sidelines. And Isaiah, lots of Cowboys fans here.
Starting point is 01:11:09 You heard it on those two interceptions. Pretty good roar from a nice preseason crowd here. The Cowboys are like Pitbull in the worldwide. That's exactly right. That's the reason why they come down here to L.A. every year for the training camp. So, yes, he goes with Pitbull, Mr. Worldwide. No, no, no, but he said the worldwide. Yes.
Starting point is 01:11:31 He can't even get that part right. Isn't Pitbull like Dominican or Puerto Rican or something, too? But still, I love Bill Jones in this. Nice preseason crowd here. Cowboys are like Pitbull or the worldwide. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. That's what I'm always telling people. That's exactly right. How are the Cowboys are like Pitbull. They're worldwide. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. That's what I'm always telling people.
Starting point is 01:11:48 How are the Cowboys this year? Well, they're like the Pitbull. They're worldwide. Let's go down to the sideline. A farmer's insurance injury report, and here's Mickey Spagnuolo. What do they want? What? they want? What? Say what? No. Tell them don't come to me.
Starting point is 01:12:31 I can't hear a thing. Felix Jones, deep for the Cowboys. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. So during that short break, we shifted time and space, and we went and ate lunch at Neptune's Net. Same place. I was going to say Bodie also.
Starting point is 01:13:11 It wasn't Bodie. No, it was Lori Petty in Utah. It was Johnny Utah. Don't pop it. He would order the shrimp basket. Oh, is that right? I think so. In fact, Mickey is the one who first suggested going there to me.
Starting point is 01:13:32 It was pre, I guess, when I was enlightened with the movie Point Break and realized that my whole life should revolve around that movie. Before that, Mickey said, yeah, you should stop by this little place on the way up. And it was good. And it was pretty cheap. And that was back in those days. We just had lunch for four.
Starting point is 01:13:52 All I had was the cup of soup because you guys might not know it, but I'm three hours away from dinner. We know it. Oh, OK. Yeah. So I couldn't have too much food. So I just had a little cup of soup to hold me over. And the foursome was $84.
Starting point is 01:14:12 Yeah, no beers, nothing like that. $80. It's more expensive than Spencer's. They're quite proud of their food. They're quite proud of the fact that Lori Petty and Johnny Utah met here and the fact that Toretto and O'Connor had their meeting of the minds in the original Fast and Furious here.
Starting point is 01:14:30 Like the location's great. $20 for three fish tacos that were a little skimp. They're very small. Yeah. Like you definitely, you're going to get your money's worth at Spencer's. Yeah. Hi, I'm Dan McDowell for Spencer McKenzie's. Give them a chance to earn your business.
Starting point is 01:14:44 Yeah. Well, they're not hurting for business. Spencer'senzie's. Give them a chance to earn your business. Yeah. Well, they're not hurting for business. Spencer's? No. Oh, this place. Oh, yeah. Bumping. On a Monday.
Starting point is 01:14:53 Oh, you know what we should do? Viewer mail. And then we got some today in Twitter. I think we're going to hold Dion. Have we decided? I think so, yeah. Wow. If you were, you know, scoring along at home,
Starting point is 01:15:10 from left to right on your radio dial, what do you do on your phone? Which direction are we moving on your phone? Left to right. Are we? We don't do, like, Chinese? Is that like up and down? How do they read?
Starting point is 01:15:28 Right to left. Let's go now to Jake. Oh, what? You're an international guy. You're a Chinese expert. You've been closer to China than I have. Although I could... Oh, I've been there. Oh, you've been to China? Sort of. I've been to Hong Kong. You know, they have a weird situation going on, but I've been to Hong Kong. I dug a pretty
Starting point is 01:15:43 deep hole once. You know what? I have something I can play for you for that right now if you going on, but I've been to Hong Kong. I dug a pretty deep hole once. You know what? I have something I can play for you for that right now if you want. Okay. I'm going to throw a curveball at you, video man. What do you think about that? Because you could dig to China, I've come to understand. The Miller Lite Vintage Ed.
Starting point is 01:16:00 You don't have to be quick. It's just that it just came up. I did not think that Dan was going to mention the idea of digging to China. That's just how we roll, Rob. This ain't the buttoned up world that you've come from. Right, with the big men. This is the wildness of I'm ready, bitch. This is something that was sent to the group chat
Starting point is 01:16:18 so we're just going to call it group chat. Check in. This is, I believe, probably like an early 80s, maybe late 70s ad for great tasting, less filling Miller Lite. You got a... When I played baseball, I could hit the ball halfway to China. So I
Starting point is 01:16:33 figured I could do the same thing with a golf ball. No way. Greg the Bowl Lizinsky. There's nothing he liked better than cold Miller Lite. It's less filling, and it's got that big taste as hackers appreciate. Where'd that go? Now they're looking for the ball.
Starting point is 01:16:49 Hi-ya! Hi-ya! Hi-ya! Hi-ya! No matter who you play. It lands. The chairman. It appears to be playing golf.
Starting point is 01:16:57 Yes, it lands on a green halfway around the world with four incredibly stereotypically dressed Chinese people with Chairman Mao and a rice hat. The caddy is wearing the rice hat. Hi-yo! Hi-yo! As I recall, those were very pop-cultury,
Starting point is 01:17:17 very funny commercials. Yeah, that one really got me. The rice hat. I got a rice hat. Yeah. Why? I got a rice hat. Yeah. Why? I don't even remember. Did I want to grow rice?
Starting point is 01:17:31 Or I just thought that hat was badass. Jake played against a guy in flag football that wore one. He was on my team. And then somebody mailed you one. Okay. I should have brought that out here. That'd cover the neck. You can see why they wear it.
Starting point is 01:17:44 Yeah. It's very practical. Anyway. Got some birthdays. Today is... I don't remember the day. The 12th. Dear Uncle Yeah Baby, please wish my sister
Starting point is 01:18:02 Kelly a happy birthday. Monday, August 12th. Is that weird? Oh yeah, for sure, baby. To wish your Kelly a happy birthday, Monday, August 12th. Is that weird? Oh, yeah, for sure, baby. To wish your sister a happy birthday? Yeah. I mean, would you do it for your brother? I guess you're not having a sister. It's kind of a...
Starting point is 01:18:19 Let's ask a guy with a sister. It's kind of a what? Sorry. I think we're both doing it because we think the other one of us thinks we're supposed to do it. It's a guy with a sister. It's kind of a what? Sorry. Gay? I think we're both doing it because we think the other one of us thinks we're supposed to do it. But if we both just said, like, who cares? But writing into your favorite program, you want to hear it said publicly. I mean, it's kind of cool that they both listen. That is cool.
Starting point is 01:18:40 I would say you typically do that if you haven't talked to them in a while. Yeah. Then it feels less genuine to me, though. It feels more disingenuous if you pop up once a year. No, but, hey, I'm thinking of you. I'm being nice. This is a special thing, yeah. You're on the dumb zone, Kelly.
Starting point is 01:19:00 Yeah. Okay. Fair enough. In fact, Jake, play her that. Didn't you get some Al Michaels audio just for her earlier? Yeah. I did, yeah. I know you love swimming.
Starting point is 01:19:15 She's been a listener and fan for two decades. Hi, Kelly. Thanks to me. And she's looking pretty good for a middle-aged lady with two kids. I'll be the judge of that. Yeah. Send it in. He does say Jake.
Starting point is 01:19:30 Then he says she lives in Wiley. Hey. Then it says Blake. Come holla. Yeah, I'm losing interest. Drop request something funny. There can't be a nice-looking lady in Wiley? There probably is, but few and far between.
Starting point is 01:19:47 He wants to hear something funny. No puppet. Mark Brasher. Can I tell you I was on top? Mark with a C. It just hit the lobe, as they call it. That's what I have pulled up. I like Mark with a Q.
Starting point is 01:20:02 Gettysburg, wow. Mark. Mork. Like you're. Mark. Mork. Like you're from Oakland. Mork. Dan, I'd like to wish my wife Stephanie Tan happy birthday. Her leaders were... Uh-oh.
Starting point is 01:20:14 Marion Barber and Gavin Escobar. Oh, dear. I have some bad news on that front. She wants to know if there have been any GBDPs on the DZRV. Less combative Charles Haley from Michael Tan. P.S. Marvin Harrison killed Steve McNair. That's a theory. You know they have a new Untold coming out about Steve McNair.
Starting point is 01:20:42 Oh, nice. The Netflix series. I don't... Okay, so DP, obviously double penny. I guess I don't know what GB is. Gangbang? Gangbang? DPs? Does a normal
Starting point is 01:20:53 DP imply a GB, or is that enough? I don't think it is. I mean, two does not make a gang. Yeah, if me and you were like, we got something going on here. We're a gang. Right. I feel like you guys are just partners. Yeah, that's why, yeah. That's why you have to say all four of those letters. Yeah, but I, so is it three?
Starting point is 01:21:14 Like, inside the GB, there could be a DP. No, I think there almost has to be. If all five of us were involved, it would be a GB. There's no doubt about that. I'm asking where the cutoff is. But if it's U2 and Video Man, it's probably just a threesome. Yeah. And nobody says foursome. Maybe that's the point it becomes
Starting point is 01:21:29 GB. Weigh in in the comments, folks. Hit the bell. Yeah. Man, we learned about that. What did we learn? Oh, the bell means it will alert you for stuff. Oh, that is one thing I forgot to tell you guys.
Starting point is 01:21:45 Do you think we should be less than a year and a month in to learn? No, none of it matters. At Venice Beach, there are a ton of people streaming. Like, okay, we were walking to the game, and Blake's like, oh, look over there. They're filming a TikTok. Yeah. Oh, look over there. They're filming a TikTok. Yeah. Oh, look over there.
Starting point is 01:22:07 The guy we had lunch with, Steven, was like, that's a big deal is just filming TikToks. Yeah, a bunch of people on Venice Beach, if they were on bikes, they had a camera affixed to the handlebars. That's right. It was because Rob said, let's go to the beach. Yeah. And he told us that was his warning for the beach. There were women who were rollerblading together. I guess they were live streaming. They could have just been doing reels, but was his warning for the beach. There were women who were, like, rollerblading together. They were, I guess they were live streaming.
Starting point is 01:22:27 They could have just been doing reels, but they were talking to the chat. And it's just insane. And then even, there was even a point where Kristen's sister was like, oh, I recognize that guy from TikTok. Like, some guy. She's like, I don't remember his name, but I've seen him before. Like, Steven said, you'll be walking down, and there'll be a lot of the man on the street stuff.
Starting point is 01:22:45 Yeah, nonstop. When we used to do it for the show. Nobody was doing it. Right. We invented this. Pioneers. Hello, Uncle Hotmail. Emailing from one of my OG emails via the OG email service Hotmail,
Starting point is 01:23:00 which has stood the test of time due to its impressive features and abilities. Today is my dad, Chris Chris and brother Jack's birthday. Please wish them happy birthday. My dad would like to hear a heart attack man joke if he's available. Doesn't look like it. And are some added clouds being... Is that me? Sorry. Looking forward to having you all out for a 690 remote at my business,
Starting point is 01:23:25 Urban Tree Merchants in October. Yep. From DF number 4179, Kelly Gear. I believe we got a Kelly that's a lady, not a Kelly dude. No. She and I have discussed business. Yeah? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:43 Hi, Kelly. Over coffee? I wish. Dear Dan, want to wish my little brother, my other little brother, El Eddie Spaghetti, happy birthday today. He's finally a man. His heroes are the 42% of the people who prefer pork. Over the other white meat.
Starting point is 01:24:02 And space pullout. Muchos gracias from Poyito. Little chicken. Pork meat. And J-Rod here. I'm a new subscriber of the show. I used to use my fiance's account, but I got my own so
Starting point is 01:24:18 she can get off my ass. Nice. Hell yeah. Plus, I support the cause now. Please tell her, shut the hell up and give a shoutout to Casey Pilcher. Let's back off, Casey. My leaders are Dingu the Seacow and a fat bunny that drives a crappy van. Very respectfully, Julian Rodriguez. And that's today's viewer mail.
Starting point is 01:24:47 I got one quick one. Oops. I didn't know. No, that's my bad. I tried to. So this is the second time she's sent it to us. I believe we might actually be going to Cassie's apartment at some point for a 690. We are.
Starting point is 01:24:58 She gets really upset whenever we talk about shooting free throws in silence as to how that would be an effective strategy for the home crowd with the visiting team. And she said, I'm resenting this because you all have brought it up again. They shoot free throws in silence at every home game. That's actually not true. No. I'm talking silence. That's the thing.
Starting point is 01:25:19 Maybe you haven't been to a Mavs game or an NBA game in a while, but... They don't go overboard. No, no, no. It's not like it is with the visiting team, and there's sound effects. Yeah. And I'm talking, and I think Dan is, like a mandate to be quiet.
Starting point is 01:25:32 You can hear squeaking tennis shoes. Right. It's not like that when you're at home shooting free throws. It's quieter, but it is by far not what I would call quiet. And even in practice. If you ever go to a shoot-around, practice, in NBA practice, is loud as hell. Yes. It's hard to understand unless you've been to the Oklahoma City pregame prayer.
Starting point is 01:25:52 Yeah. That's the silence I want. Yeah. No sound at all. Yeah. You might hear a guy in the upper deck across the stadium cough. Mm-hmm. That's how silent.
Starting point is 01:26:05 Different deal. So tell her to get off our ass. Well, I'm going to wait until the check clears. Okay. For the remote. Then, yeah. It already has.
Starting point is 01:26:12 Okay, well then get off his ass. Our. Our ass. The Dumbzell presents Today in Twitter. Or did we already do it with the Miller Lite thing? No.
Starting point is 01:26:24 That was going to be in there, but it came up. All right. Bob and Weave. So Blake's got some stuff. I got some stuff. His is probably better, so I'll let him be an ender. A couple things that I was laughing about that I think you guys would enjoy. The first one, Video Man, is going to be the, well, doesn't look like it's in here.
Starting point is 01:26:44 So let's go with the Cosby Cop Drama. I think I put it in the other day. I didn't copy it over. So somebody sent this to Cosby Cop Drama we'll start with. Are we okay? Let's see. Is there an RV parking next to us? Yeah, that might not be that prevalent on the mic that you need to stop everything down.
Starting point is 01:27:04 I think it was both of us. It feels pretty. Oh, are they changing the porta-potties? Good God. They are rough in there. Rob said don't go in, and then you went in. I just had to pee. And I'll pee standing up like a GD man.
Starting point is 01:27:18 We were walking into, I mean, I pee standing up in a porta porta potty if the poop is all the way to the top. Which it is in there. I know, I did it. I went to the Neptune's Net. Beach porta potties are just the worst. I went. I've had enough porta potty, by the way. Oh, yeah?
Starting point is 01:27:38 Even the nice ones. I'm done. Even the handicapped ones? Dude. That one's pretty good. The nice ones, you can't even handle that? I'm just saying I've had enough. I'm a human.
Starting point is 01:27:49 I'm like a civilized human. Okay, yeah, so let's do the Cosby one first. Do you have any recollection, Dan, of the fact that there was a show in 1994 that ran for two seasons called The Cosby Mysteries? No. It's a drama. Like, it's a cop drama. The Cosby Mysteries is an American mystery drama television series
Starting point is 01:28:10 starring Bill Cosby that aired on NBC, Sep 94, April 95, 19 episodes. So after the Cosby show. The Cosby show was huge. Yeah, so he plays a cop criminalist who retired from the police force after winning $44 million in the lottery. However, he still has the itch.
Starting point is 01:28:31 So he comes back every now and then off the books. And it's still Bill Cosby. Now you'd be like, Bill Cosby's a psychopath. He's basically Dexter. But back then, I think everybody still thought of him as America's dad. So if we play this video, I want you guys to react to it. You're going to understand pretty quickly why this promo has been pulled. And it's a certain camera angle that shows a drink.
Starting point is 01:28:55 As it's basically SVU. Can we get more audio? Okay, so already there, you can see. If you want to back it up, the opening shot is like two martini glasses, and in the reflection of the liquid of one of them, it's just Bill Cosby's face. Yeah, looking concerned. And what's happening is somebody is pouring some sort of elixir, ostensibly poison, into the glass.
Starting point is 01:29:22 Okay. Which Spanish Fly, that was his whole deal, was that he would poison people's drinks and cocktails. So this is the beginning of it 30 years ago. He's saying, this is my playbook. Yeah. Like he's just trying to tell you. Bill Cosby returns to television with something new.
Starting point is 01:29:37 That's incredible because that's exactly what he got busted for. Yes. And the rest of this is just like there's no way you'd believe this. They had some little powder in his ring, and he just opened it. Yeah. Dumped it in there. I miss that voice guy, too. Oh, he was great.
Starting point is 01:29:55 Beautiful. It's kind of like the OJ If I Did It. Just like these people that we, you know, and even Cosby had the Spanish flag comedy bit. Yeah. It's like, oh, I want to get divorced. It's just humor, honey. That's just my bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:12 So the second one I'm going to show you, if you have it, Rob, is this is definitely a Today in Twitter because it's a year old. And it's hilarious. It involves a guy in a wheelchair. But I don't think we're necessarily making fun of the guy in a wheelchair. But I don't think we're necessarily making fun of the guy in the wheelchair. But have you ever wondered, like, what happens when the cops have to arrest a guy in a wheelchair?
Starting point is 01:30:35 Um, I never wondered that, but now that you say it... Yeah. Like, do they have to bring a special van? Do they have to be, like, extra nice to him? Well, this guy is a 32-year-old man. This is in Miami. His name is Bryant Amasta.
Starting point is 01:30:51 He's a YouTuber and recording artist. This is about a year ago, and I think this was just recently the anniversary. And this is the body cam footage of a very aggressive suspect who's in a wheelchair. And it looks to me like when a three-year-old is messing with you you're like stop get like I could fuck you up if I had to but you want to be but you have to be cool right you can't just like punch him and the cops can't just dip over his wheelchair and be like figure it out now cripple so they're like slapping his hand away I was laughing about this all weekend
Starting point is 01:31:21 I was laughing about this all weekend. So take me. You got a little guy. I just hit you again. What the do about it? For the first time, we are seeing body camera video when Miami-Dade police say they were assaulted by a quadriplegic man. A case so unusual, even the judge at first appearance seems surprised. I have truly never seen a case like this.
Starting point is 01:31:41 It happened May 1st. The guy wheels out of his driveway right up to the cop and just starts hitting him now this is his music video so the wheelchair guy does music videos yeah according to the report amasa and his mother seem he looks messed up but when mom is and he starts ramming his wheelchair into her. So they're arresting his mom. No, man, stop doing that. When we interviewed Amasta back then, he told us this. Why did you zoom in on the back wheel?
Starting point is 01:32:14 I hit them with my wheelchair. Did you? I absolutely did not. The report stated that you spit at an officer. Right, so I suffer from acid reflux, so I normally spit. Hold on. And I spat, like, the totally different direction, but this is the video Because he was separated from his motorized wheelchair now they're carrying
Starting point is 01:32:49 Joking that they were going towed him on a flatbed. Now it looks like that officer trying to build up a charge there, looking at his leg, kind of like the Scotty Scheffler. And they all told that Corrections did not have a transport van to transport Amasa with his wheelchair. They're like, what do we do with this? And that's why officers on scene called fire rescue to take him and called a tow truck to take the chair. Oh, but there's another hearing in this case scheduled right here for tomorrow. We're in Miami.
Starting point is 01:33:14 I'm here. This is so Miami. He's just backing up. Jenny, thanks a lot. He's backing up. It does seem like he might want to. He's ramming him. I know.
Starting point is 01:33:22 They're like, dude, stop. Deal with it like the three-year-old, though, and I wouldn't have taken him in. I know. I mean, and then, yeah, his whole, like, I just have acid reflux. Yeah. And they go to the video, and he's like, fuck you, pig, and just spins from his wheelchair. It's just, I don't know. That's so, so Miami.
Starting point is 01:33:40 Then let me see. Let me pick one more here, and then we'll turn it over to Blake. Let's do, okay. Let's do this clip from the Today Show. Okay, so this is the one that says Today Show Fit Cooking. Blake actually sent me this after I'd already seen it and said he stopped watching it. So he doesn't know what happens here, but this is a clip. As I've said before, it's hilarious to me that America has the morning shows, your wife watches them, Strahan's on it, Nate Burleson's on it,
Starting point is 01:34:07 where they go back and forth from, like, the state of play in Ukraine, is Kiev at risk? And later, 10 keto-friendly recipes using only egg whites and avocado. And I'm like, I feel like both of the things you're trying to do are going to suck because you should just be trying to do one of those things. Right. So. But there's something to having it all right there in front of you. Yeah. And it's on.
Starting point is 01:34:32 It's like the cable. America loves it. So this is a clip from the Today Show where they're interviewing a lady and her partner who she wrote the book with about like Fit Living is supposed to be there. And they address that pretty much right out of the gate. Here with some tantalizing recipes to boost your sexual appetite is Amy Riley, co-author of The Love Diet. Hello, Amy. Hey, Amy. Nice to see you. I want to get a piece of business out of the way before we start.
Starting point is 01:34:56 There is a co-author on your book, Juan Carlos Cruz, who is accused in a murder-for-hire plot with his wife. There's a plea bargain happening today. What's the stat? What's going on there? I know that today there's a hearing in a couple of hours, and supposedly there's going to be a plea bargain. That's really all I know. Juan Carlos and I have been communicating by letter. He can't talk with me about his case.
Starting point is 01:35:19 Basically, all I know is that this is a man who is very, very passionate about cooking for better health. And that's why he may have killed his wife or at least hired somebody to. But all I know is that he's he's great with the ingredients and he loves he has a passion for the culinary arts. And what's funny about it is this whole book, you can kind of pick it up there, it's supposed to be a book with dishes to make you want to be horny. Yes, dishes designed to ignite romance. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:52 What it says here. And this guy, he solicited three homeless men to kill his wife and is currently still incarcerated, doing a nine-year stint. In his defense, he was trying everything to get the bitch act right. The, you know, the crepes. I'm doing everything. You're still not doing it. Now I'm going to find three bums to knock you off.
Starting point is 01:36:13 Also, that video proves Hoda hasn't always been torn up. Oh, yeah? All right. Take a look at Hoda up there. Look at her. I don't think so. She's kind of a mess right now. So we are making a black truffle. Now we're just on to the recipe.
Starting point is 01:36:34 And also. So they just had to like cover that? Why did they though? You know what I mean? Why didn't you just say she's the author? Yeah. Or the co-author. Co-author with such and such and leave it alone.
Starting point is 01:36:44 Or she's the co-author. Why did they have to be like, yes. Co-author with such and such and leave it alone, or she's the co-author. Why do they have to be like, what do we know about the jury deliberations on day three of your co-author's murder for hire? Yeah, it's not like the age of social media where somebody immediately— No, it was like 10 years ago. Yeah. And it's not a national story. story. Hey, before we get into the truffle oil, the co-author,
Starting point is 01:37:07 I thought that was hilarious. These morning shows are just a wild, wild ride, Blake. So mine is NFL related. This video was circling around. Let's do number one.
Starting point is 01:37:22 It's an avid Colts fan who – is it Ked Woodley? Ked Woodley was the Panthers. Panthers one. It seems like the Colts have their guy. This is our Colts. This is our team. We bleed blue. is our Colts
Starting point is 01:37:48 And when I lose We love them For the shoe Beat the Broncos Let's show them who the real horse is This is our team Go Colts No!
Starting point is 01:38:05 Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah, that was his song pre-game to try to get the Colts to beat the Broncos. For a pre-season game. Who was the other guy? We've had him on. Not the weather guy.
Starting point is 01:38:21 Kedwood Lee. No, no, no, no, no. There's a different guy that used to do, like, YouTube sports. Kydes Ramsey? Kydes Ramsey, yeah. Damn, we thought we had one there. He feels Kydes Ramsey-ish. Yeah, he's definitely – I don't know that this guy is, like, certifiably slow,
Starting point is 01:38:37 but he does appear to be very lonely. That's what I'm – yeah, I'm just saying he's more in the Kydes mold. Yeah, yeah. That Woodley guy looks like he's getting some on the weekend, too. He's partying for sure. Okay. Well, let's see the second one. I saw the video.
Starting point is 01:38:49 I saw he had a channel, so I took a swim through what he's got going on. He did this for games last year. November 26, 2023. Pump that up. Yo-ho, yo-ho, it's a Colts victory. Yo-ho, yo-ho, the Colts beat the Bucs. Okay, no real rhyme scheme here at all. Okay, that's it?
Starting point is 01:39:11 Okay, well, short and sweet, I suppose. You know, there's like a whole world of this, though. And it's easy for us to say. Like there's a guy for every team doing it? Tons. Okay. It's easy for us to say because we have like an outlet for things we want to say, which is probably why I think in the end we're not really that active on Twitter.
Starting point is 01:39:31 Okay. I don't post a lot in any platform. But there are people who just make videos and blogs and whatever, TikToks, and they just send them into the void to like four people. And they do it for the love of the game. Yeah, not a lot of views. Yeah, just no real talent or thought or process or prep. It's just...
Starting point is 01:39:56 But that's not how he got his start. Okay, so he's moved on to this from? From what? Okay, so he's moved on to this from? From what? He thought it would be funny to insert beeps into certain Disney movies. All right. So let's see number three.
Starting point is 01:40:15 That feels like it is funny. Now we're all going to f***ing box. Wait, that's it. Jesse, say that again. Say what? That we're all going to f***ing boxes? Not us. You. You're going to f***ing box. What?. You. You're gonna f***ing a box.
Starting point is 01:40:25 What? No! Hey, I can't! Jesse, listen to me! When Combat Carl gets stuck in a jam, he says to himself, Combat Carl never gives up. Is it Toy Story 2 or something? Combat Carl f***ing. It must be 3 or 4. I don't really recognize this one. Combat Carl never gives up.
Starting point is 01:40:38 You're not Combat Carl! What is this? Jesse never gives up! Jesse f***s so d***! This is how we got started. This is how we got started. Now we're just scoping a dude with 90 subscribers YouTube channel and saying like... Well, here's my point. Okay. He's watching Disney movies with a dirty mind.
Starting point is 01:40:58 Peto? He looks Peto. Sure. I think... But if you're watching Toy Story... Yeah, I think you can say someone looks pedo. Yeah. Where could I add a beep here?
Starting point is 01:41:10 Or there? He had a mustache. The guy's trying to be funny. I don't know. Like I said, there's just... Come closer. What do you desire? That's the island of misfit toys right there. And now we'd like to **** here.
Starting point is 01:41:26 No, that would not be possible. No, it's all settled. We **** together. It's all settled. Okay, so your bit is he's watching Rudolph thinking about having sex with Hermie. Yeah, and where could I add a beep and a little censor thing? Because that's what I'm thinking. Don't encourage this. Yeah, because where could I add a beep and a little censor thing? Because that's what I'm thinking. Don't encourage this.
Starting point is 01:41:48 Yeah, because that's what's on his mind. I thought you had an ender. People are enamored with Colt's guy, but turns out in six months we're going to find, oh, this Colt's guy. Well, I mean, it's better. We pretty quickly found out what was going on with the Texans guy. Sketch? Yeah. It was sucky sucky on the internet before he was affiliated with the Houston Texans.
Starting point is 01:42:15 Sometimes you got to sucky sucky. No doubt. I want to do pre-news. Okay. Pre-news. Mark this on our show notes as pre-news. Okay. Because we're about to do news. You know what comes before that? Pre-news? Mark this on our show notes as pre-news. Okay. Because we're about to do news. You know what comes before that?
Starting point is 01:42:28 Pre-news. That's right. Just got this in for immediate release from Athens, Texas. Prophets and Outlaws to Rock the Texan, a landmark venue thanks to introduction by the Dumb Zone podcast. Heck yeah, that place was awesome. We're excited to announce a new collaboration between the acclaimed band, Profits and Outlaws, and the Texan, a landmark venue
Starting point is 01:42:54 resulting in an exclusive concert performance Saturday, August 17th, 2024. This promising partnership was sparked by the shared experience of hosting Dan McDowell, Jake Kemp, and Blake Jones of the Dumb Zone Podcast. And they go on to give details, of course. Yes, that is Athens, Texas.
Starting point is 01:43:12 That's a great venue, though. We did our show there. They got hotels and stuff. Go make a weekend out of that weekend. They got hotels and stuff. Oh, actually, it says that right here. It's the owner of Smokey B Barbecue and DF. And they do say that we have hotels and stuff.
Starting point is 01:43:30 So come on down to Athens, Texas. Man, I would be there, but I think we're just going to be getting back into town at that point. Otherwise, you absolutely know I would be there. Yeah. Love Profits and Outlaws. Saturday? Love that place. I noticed Dan perked up about three minutes ago, but I'm probably about to catch a contact.
Starting point is 01:43:54 Somebody, that's not the smell of... It smells very potty right now. That's the smell of burnt mids. Can we turn the air conditioning off? Something, because... Oh, the air conditioning makes... It's bringing it in. We're sucking in poop. But it's going conditioning makes it. It's bringing it in. But it's going to get hot.
Starting point is 01:44:07 You think we're sucking in poop? I'm smelling burnt herb. It's poop. You think we're smelling poop? Yeah, because they're getting the crap out of the porta-potties. I'm getting high from the poop. I actually believe that works. I've heard that before. Here's Jay
Starting point is 01:44:23 with the Dumb Zone. I was wondering if you said your daughter was Here's Jay with the Dubs. I was wondering if you said your daughter was in a bad mood the next day. Was she catching a little secondary buzz? She's like she's got to chase it now? Yeah. I don't know. We didn't really talk about this in Olympics or Mavs, so now we're going to put it in the news.
Starting point is 01:44:45 It's the Micah Parsons tweet. I need to find a way to get to the Olympics by 2028. What events y'all think I can do? Oh, I didn't see that. He said to take a break, or to prepare for the Olympics, he would take a break from football after 2027. Like right in the middle of when he's trying to get himself a five-year, $210 million deal.
Starting point is 01:45:08 He's just busy on social media. He, of course, went sumo wrestling in Japan. He participated in the NBA's All-Star Celebrity Game, where he kind of took over. How about the sex change? Identify as a woman. You could do a lot then. You probably could. He could certainly play basketball.
Starting point is 01:45:33 Would Micah Parsons be able to start in the WNBA right now? Yes. Yes. We don't even know how good he plays basketball, do we? It doesn't matter. I mean, I saw him in the celebrity game. That was good enough? Triple dub, I think.
Starting point is 01:45:53 So we have a little bit more news on the death of Lazer slash Lazar Dukic, the CrossFitter who was renowned globally with top ten finishes in these CrossFit games. He drowned at Marine Creek Lake in Fort Worth on the first day of the CrossFit games. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Day one, and then the next day they were like, we can't cancel it. We're all here. This is what he would have wanted.
Starting point is 01:46:16 They will now have a third party investigate. Which, anytime I hear that, like, what happened? Did somebody know that the water was risky and they didn't alert him? Was it the path? Was there, you know, but obviously the guy had qualified. It wasn't like it was me. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:46:36 Yeah, and he was renowned. He was renowned. Did he eat and then get in the water? First he was nouned. He might not have waited 30 minutes. Yeah, he had a sandwich. He used to be nouned. Then they did it again.
Starting point is 01:46:49 They redoubled their efforts. I always like to redouble their efforts. That means quadruple. That means by function it's two times two. It's re-doubled. But they had already doubled their effort. Then they redid that. But nobody ever says we doubled our effort, though.
Starting point is 01:47:07 Right. They just skip right to the 400%. Right. I just think that's wrong. Boy, the 30 minute thing, I remember, I respected my grandfather so much, my dad's dad, because he was super, super cool, super chill, never heard him use slurs, all great things that
Starting point is 01:47:22 not all grandparents you can say that about. But I remember whenever I was a pretty little kid he'd be like hey the 30 minute thing is it's nonsense he said it yeah you know because your mom's yelling at you your grandmother's telling you i think they even had a sign up you know of course i am in the uh the pool that they had later in life and there's a fence i remember being like i really don't think it's gonna matter and him like kind of peeling me off a little knowledge he's like it doesn't matter most of this is made up and that was a just paramount moment for me yeah just pretend like you're paying attention and that any of this matters and then just kind of move on.
Starting point is 01:48:06 Was he the one that liked watching the weather? Yeah. Okay. He sounds like a great grandpa. He was awesome. Sorry he died, dude. Thanks. That's just all I think about.
Starting point is 01:48:18 I know that when we first started doing the show together, both sets of grandparents died, right, from the COVID. Yeah. At least that's what they said. Yeah, that was wild, too. And I don't know. I think a lot of people probably memory hold the worst parts of COVID, where you're just in a daze of what was actually happening. But yeah, having to kind of sneak
Starting point is 01:48:45 to the back of the nursing home it was kind of an assisted living center it wasn't like a retirement community it wasn't a nursing home it was in between he had his own room it was nice he could watch the CBS 11 anchors and tell me which ones he found
Starting point is 01:49:01 attractive which one thought he was a tough guy that guy thinks he's tough that guy thinks he's tough. That guy thinks he's funny. I love that bit. But, yeah, we had to, like, walk to the back of the home and just, like, peer in through the window. You know, and he's mid-80s, so he's pretty confused already.
Starting point is 01:49:17 He didn't have a clue what was happening outside. He's like, why can't you come in? And I'm like, I'm probably never going to see you in person again. And he's just kind of like staring out the window and we're doing like prison fist bump love and he's just like, okay, guess I'm dying here.
Starting point is 01:49:34 And that's what happened. Did you guys have traffic yesterday? Way there or way back? Oh yeah. Major? The way there wasn't so bad. No. But it did have me thinking, were you saying that we were going to drive you to the airport?
Starting point is 01:49:52 Is that not happening? There's no way, dude. That'll be three extra hours for us. For real? Yes, because Matt was saying that we're leaving like a northern route, and if we went even That's fine. I'll just do it. Anyway.
Starting point is 01:50:06 I mean, I've got like nine hours to kill that day, so I'm in no hurry. You could probably walk. I might. Get your steps. Do you ever look at that when you're hitting something on the map? Absolutely. And you're like, what would it take for me to walk there? I remember looking at it to come out here.
Starting point is 01:50:21 Yeah. What was it? Like ten days? Yeah, something like that. Yeah, I've done that before. Which goes to what I used to think when I was a little kid. Walk to Cali. I'd be in Cleveland, downtown Cleveland or something for a game,
Starting point is 01:50:33 and it's freezing, and there's homeless guys sleeping in the corner, and I was like, if I was them, I would just start walking west. It's that simple. You live outside anyway, and then you'll just stop was them, I would just start walking west. That's simple. You live outside anyway, and then you'll just stop and sleep wherever you want to, and then you just keep going, and eventually you'll be in warmer weather. That's what I told you when I was in Scottsdale.
Starting point is 01:50:56 Like, you are two states over. Just walk to California. Just keep going? They're on the sidewalk. It's 115. You're making it literally sound like that's just a... What are they going to leave behind? But you're homeless, though. Maybe you have family nearby that you can occasionally check in with,
Starting point is 01:51:13 or a shelter that you're familiar with. I mean, you're walking across the desert. Yeah, I didn't think about that part. It seems like you could die pretty easily. Yeah, I didn't think about that part. It seems like you could die pretty easily. Anyways, this is a shocking number to me. About 20, yeah, that's a good point. You're going to be so healthy.
Starting point is 01:51:32 That's a good point. About 26, you don't see a lot of fat ones. No. Don't see a lot of bald, don't see a lot of fat. 26% of the people on Dallas Water Utilities' roll, 300,000 plus people, have past due balances of more than 60 days. A quarter
Starting point is 01:51:50 of Dallas Water Utilities, I guess they have different options, you know, not all of it's through the same company in a big city like that. But past 60 days, that does seem big. So, yeah, what are we talking about there? 75,000 people?
Starting point is 01:52:08 Seems like a lot, but I guess also you're probably talking a lot. We had H2O. We had the best numbers ever. I guess you're talking about a lot of people who are struggling just to make ends meet. Yeah. What can we do? Probably not much. Probably not much.
Starting point is 01:52:23 Did you ever, I mean, I know you've had your water turned off before, and we've talked about it, but did you ever try to plea with them whenever they came to do it? Because that's the one they have to do in person. Electricity, if they turn it off, you can just call and pay. Give them five minutes to an hour, they flip it back on. The water, they have to come out there and do it, which means they have to come back out there and do it.
Starting point is 01:52:44 And I'm like, bro, I'm going to pay it. I'm going to pay it right now. I'm on the phone with them. And he's like, it doesn't matter. It's like the tow truck. He's like, if I'm here, I'm shutting it off. Yeah, I mean, you had your list of things to pay, you know, your priorities. Pot.
Starting point is 01:52:59 That was really high up the list. Yeah, that's what. And then it would be like water, because you wanted to be able to flush the list. Yeah. That's what... And then it would be like water because you wanted to be able to flush the toilet. I'm trying to think what it would... I mean, car was kind of down the list. That's why I got repoed. That was a bad feeling.
Starting point is 01:53:19 I can't imagine. But the water being turned off, yeah, that one sucks because it may be the next day. You know, and I was always running the scam where, because when I was in school in San Marcos, I would work all summer and save money at home, but I didn't really work during school those two years that much. So, but what I did do is I had a credit card card so i would just pay the bills on that and then i
Starting point is 01:53:47 would just have everyone pay me their part and now now i have money discover card yeah that still exist yeah i have one in my wallet right now okay because definitely got one of those in college because that was the only one that would give you one. Yeah. Man, I rang stuff up on that. Oh, yeah. But seriously, I would just pay our electric bill. And when I got around to it, our water bill, then everybody would give me $40 or $50 a month for everything. And I'm like, look at this. I'm sitting on $500.
Starting point is 01:54:16 I'm floated. Yeah. And I graduated college with like $19,000 in credit card debt. I'm like, whatever. Yeah, all you got to pay is $60 a month. Yeah. Great. It, whatever. Yeah, all you got to pay is 60 a month. Yeah. Great. It's perfect.
Starting point is 01:54:27 Yeah. Did they do that when you were flirting with school, like where they would come around and try to predatory get you to sign up for credit cards? No. Yeah, they have on campus, they have a thing and you get a free blanket or something. Ours was pizza and they would rotate every... I literally... I probably signed up for five credit cards in one semester.
Starting point is 01:54:51 No, because I started at community college. And maybe... I don't know. If you're still living with your parents, maybe they wouldn't target you. This is just people who would be down there that are like, one free large pizza, give us your social security number.
Starting point is 01:55:05 And I'm like, that's it? That sounds great. But yeah, the water, dude, the water is tough. You go out there and you can hear the truck coming too. You just know the sound. And I'm like, oh, fuck. Because everybody's already paid me. So the boys are like...
Starting point is 01:55:24 So all the guys are like, you didn't pay the bill? I must have put in the wrong number. Every single time. No, I asked you guys about the traffic because it seems like I'm getting just like a deluge of... You know, we had all that stuff happening on 183 last week where it was like, you know, standoff, suicide, crash. There was a huge crash on 75 in the Anna area this morning. Coyotes. You think so?
Starting point is 01:55:51 Oh, okay. I got it. I like it. Yeah, I got it. And yeah, when we were driving back from Disney yesterday, it was only, you know, should be about a 25-minute drive. Dude, on Sunday afternoon evening, it was standstill traffic. Out here. I just don't know.
Starting point is 01:56:12 It seems like a weird thing to me. Leaving Disney, leaving Venice Beach, leaving. Maybe the Rams thing factored in. Yeah. But still, it's weird. They haven't figured anything out. That's where you got to get one of them motorcycles, just zip right through.
Starting point is 01:56:29 A lot of that out here, too. Have you also noticed, and I'm completely speculating about this, but I believe I remember seeing this in Denver as well, my guess is the reason that they have really high-walled sides of the freeway is they don't want you seeing the hood. No, because... I passed Rosecrans the other day, and I was like, I want to see what this looks like.
Starting point is 01:56:53 I've heard about this street forever, but you can't. Crypto Nick Black's house, we drove right by that, and it's the high walls. I think it's... Safety. They put it up for the noise reduction for the neighborhoods. Oh, that makes sense. I just know yesterday I was driving by like four or five streets in L.A. that I've heard the name of.
Starting point is 01:57:12 And you wanted to see. And I was like, I want to see what this looks like. But you can't. That's where you got to get off and go get a Lucy. I did it. Crenshaw. Crenshaw, yeah. I've been on Crenshaw.
Starting point is 01:57:22 All right, there's your news. Because I can handle myself. I wish I could say that's ridiculous, but you also went into the heart of Mobile and did some investigative reporting with people who sell rock. People view me as just a friendly guy. Like I'm an ally to all races. I think they're confused. Like, why does this guy have this much confidence?
Starting point is 01:57:52 Whatever works. I believe in them as humans to not kill me. Are we holding bones, too? Did we make that executive decision? Yes. John Fossil. Good friend of ours now. We had an in-depth discussion with him.
Starting point is 01:58:10 You'll hear that tomorrow. Did you see him during warm-ups yesterday? No. People would return, or they'd catch the pun or the kick, and they'd start running, and he has a boxing glove on. I love that. Punching at them, punching at the ball. That is great.
Starting point is 01:58:23 So high energy. I watched him at the pregame show. They were doing the bit about explaining with Kyle Yeomans. Yeah. It was real smooth. It is smooth. So today is Monday, August 12th. On this date in 1985, the world's worst single aircraft disaster occurred.
Starting point is 01:58:43 the world's worst single aircraft disaster occurred. As a Japan Airlines Boeing 747 on a domestic flight crashed into a mountain, killing 520 people. Jeez. What year? 1985. 524 were on board when it took off, though. Four people survived.
Starting point is 01:59:07 Okay, I feel like... That'd be kind of cool. Yeah, I think what you need is a factor of like one. Tied in. Or to 100. Like if there's 220 people and it's you and one other person who live, I think you're good. Okay. You know what I mean? One per 100?
Starting point is 01:59:22 Yeah, I think so, or about that. You'd feel fine with that. Okay. You know what I mean? One per hundred? Yeah, I think so, or about that. You'd feel fine with that. Certainly, though, you would have to think there's some kinship between those four.
Starting point is 01:59:34 Although, the problem is, what if it's like some total a-hole? You know, just people you wouldn't ever want to hang out with. That's probably what it is. Almost undoubtedly. People you would never want to hang out with, yet you're the four, and you're like, oh, God, I've got to meet this asshole again this year. They have to do like a behind-the-music on it. Yeah. I like that.
Starting point is 01:59:52 On this day in 1994, oh, this was the baseball strike year. It didn't end until April of 1995 when I was on the Indians' ground crew for a day. But this is the year that the Indians would have won it all. Would have? Just take a look. That's very Dez caught it. Take a look at their record. Okay.
Starting point is 02:00:15 Dez caught it. You would have had a lot of – they were 30 games up. Albert Bell already had 80 home runs at this time of the year. No. They were unbelievable. Take a look. What year again? No. They were unbelievable. Take a look. What year again? 1994.
Starting point is 02:00:27 I challenge you to tell me they wouldn't have won at all. Look at their stats. Look at their lineup. Look at where they were in the standings. Tell me where they were. On this day in 2021. So why didn't they keep playing well after the strike? It was the next year.
Starting point is 02:00:44 Different roster. You had free agents lost. This says they were a game back. I was going to say, if we're just talking 94, they weren't even in first place. You guys aren't even thinking big. They're chasing the White Sox. You've got to think bigger. And only two up on the Royals, who are in third in the division, no less.
Starting point is 02:01:00 Here's how woke Google is. The American League Central, the White Sox, the Guardians, then the Royals. That's not what they were called. Nope. You want to know something even funnier about that year when the strike happened? The Rangers were in first place. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:01:14 At 52 and 62. Really? Oh, wow. So the Indians weren't in first place? No, they weren't. But the Rangers were? Yeah. In the division.
Starting point is 02:01:22 In the division, yeah. That's funny. Well, I think we just challenged it. On this day in 2021. Won pretty resoundingly, really. I don't recognize that. On this day in 2021, the Chicago White Sox beat the Yankees 9-8 in the first ever Major League Baseball game played in Iowa.
Starting point is 02:01:41 Oh, yeah. People were coming over this. The teams combined to hit eight home runs into the corn stalks beyond the outfield fence. That was probably the last time Tim Anderson was any good. That was next to the site for the movie where they actually built the Field of Dreams field. They built another field next to it.
Starting point is 02:02:01 It looked cool on television. Yeah, I thought they were going to do that like every year. That's what I thought. Did they not do it the next year because it was such a small stadium or thing? Or did we just... Kind of get excited about something one time. Just forget? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:02:17 Looks like they did it in 2022. Cubs-Reds. Okay, that makes sense. And then they were like, eh. It was fine. They kind that makes sense. And then they're like, eh. It was fine. They kind of wore off. Today's birthdays include former Stars coach Glenn Gullitson
Starting point is 02:02:33 is 53. What an era that was. I really upset Bob one time because that was when I used to board off the postgame show with Bob and Dan. And to me, he looked like a real dweeb. Do you remember him?
Starting point is 02:02:52 Oh, yeah. Well, like very unassuming, kind of like a Rick Moranis type vibe. And I remember saying to Bob, like, at this point I'm what, 24, 25? I was like, I could beat that guy's ass. And Bob's like, no, he's like a real hockey player. I was like, I don't care. This guy looks like a pussy. And then I realized that it made Bob upset and just kept hammering it.
Starting point is 02:03:14 Like every time I'd go to his audio and he's just like, well. Former Maverick Antoine Walker is 48. Lost something like a million dollars to Jordan in gambling. He was all fat, did the shimmy when he'd make a big shot. Yeah. Kind of looked like Grimace or something. Yeah. Very round.
Starting point is 02:03:39 Yeah, it's very round. Chris Middleton is 33. Aggie, right? Yeah. Chris with a K and an H. Made a lot of money. Pla Middleton is 33. Aggie, right? Yeah. Chris with a K and an H. Made a lot of money. Plaxico Burris is 47. Damn, Cheddar Bob.
Starting point is 02:03:51 Shot himself. Pete Sampras is 53. Chief rival of Andre Agassi, if you read the Agassi book. Pete Sampras may have been my first childhood interaction with, you've got to be kidding me, there's no way this guy's an athlete. Just the way he looked? Yeah, and his hair was all disheveled and balding and he just looked sweaty
Starting point is 02:04:13 all the time. I don't know. I'd like to see him fight Glenn Gullitson. Pete Sampras would whip that ass. Tyson Fur is 36? Gypsy. He jerked it a lot.
Starting point is 02:04:29 Wait, what? To prep himself for the Deontay Wilder fight. Oh, yeah, I remember saying that. He would do it like seven times a day. Yeah, that's the opposite of what our high school coaches told us to do. Save it up? Yeah, I think they were primarily talking about intercourse, but they would say... Women weaken legs.
Starting point is 02:04:46 Exactly. Women weaken your legs. Really? Yeah, yeah. On Friday, we had a gap between when we got out of school at 2.30 and when we had to be back at the field house for dress and bus at like 5.30. And they're like, listen, we know what's about to happen here. Don't do it. I don't think anybody listened.
Starting point is 02:05:05 And subsequently, we went to bed. Yeah, that's here. Don't do it. I don't think anybody listened. And subsequently we went too big. Yeah, that's why you weren't any good. Actor Yvette Nicole Brown. Oh, wait. I didn't write her age. I think she's 53. From Community. Oh, she's funny.
Starting point is 02:05:19 I think. I don't know much about her. Negative. No? Okay. She's like the worst thing on Community. Unless you want to say Chevy Chase is the worst thing. And there's some debate there.
Starting point is 02:05:33 I just typed is Community and that is 53. Let's go with 53. Musician Mark Knopfler is 75. Hit me. Dire Straits. I'm not super against it, but I'm also not that into it. Rapper Sir Mix-a-Lot is 61. Okay.
Starting point is 02:05:54 What does he like? He likes Big Butts. That was one of the songs that the 8-year-olds were dancing to. Very uncomfortable. Actor-comed comedian Michael Ian Black is 53 yeah he's definitely from that era of when I had
Starting point is 02:06:14 4 or 5 cable channels and Comedy Central would run anybody's half hour in the summer oh ok I never saw him I know Kids in the Hall but then he also was on that list of, like, I love the 80s. I love the 90s commentators. Like Kathy Griffin.
Starting point is 02:06:32 God, those things are beating. They suck so bad. What must those people have gotten paid for each sesh? It's like, can you come in here and do four one-minute riffs? We'll give you $100,000. On, like, extremely basic. I don't. Well, I have no idea.
Starting point is 02:06:44 Not that high? I don't think it's that high, but you don't have to write anything. We'll give you $10,000 just to come in for one afternoon. Yeah. And you can just talk about. We'll just ask you stuff. Like Andy Dick. We'll ask you about stuff you might remember, you might not.
Starting point is 02:06:58 If you have nothing, that's fine. If you got something, just be animated. Yeah, it'd be like they play the commercial. They're like, a trend that the sweeping America, Pop Rocks. And Michael Ian Black would be like, you know, I heard they have another use for him. And it would be like some sound effect, you know? Like, that's not even a joke. Casey Affleck is 49.
Starting point is 02:07:17 I watched an interview with him the other day with Julian Edelman. Julian Edelman has a podcast. We're about to get over Edelman. Julian Edelman has a podcast. We're about to get over Edelman. Yo, just wait. Casey Affleck, I have two notes for you. One, he definitely got spinned pretty hard, right? Did he? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:07:39 I think it was harassment and assault, some of it possibly being on set. My other note for you is that the movie that he wrote, produced, and starred in, Manchester by the Sea, if you recall that movie, it was very good, nominated for a bunch of awards, and I believe they have at least one or two songs on that soundtrack written by Jordan Richardson. Oh. Yeah. That's not a Kemp spin.
Starting point is 02:08:07 No, the first one. I just said two notes. That's just awesome. And Lakeith Stanfield, 33. Damn. The great. He's so good. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:08:19 Book him, Blake. He can kind of do whatever he wants now. What'd he do? He's only 33. Wouldn't you have thought he was older? Yeah. Just feels like he's He's only 33. Wouldn't you have thought he was older? Yeah. Just feels like he's been around a while.
Starting point is 02:08:28 Yeah. He was in Atlanta. Did you ever do Atlanta? No. No. He's done a bunch of stuff, though. You just do white shows? I don't do any shows.
Starting point is 02:08:39 What's the movie he was in about? There was a movie he was in about the move. He was in Get Out. Is Move the name he was in about? There was a movie he was in about the move. He was in Get Out. Is Move the name of the Philadelphia organization that got bombed by the government in 1985? Very Tulsa. Oh, I remember.
Starting point is 02:08:55 Yeah. But I don't know if that was what it was called. Well, if it's not him, then I just said something racist. Don't look into it. Born on this day, now dead, Skip Carey. Harry's son, John Cazale. Wait, wait, this day, now dead. Skip Carey. Harry's son. John Kaziel. Or Kazal.
Starting point is 02:09:08 Wait, wait, wait. Let's stop on Skip Carey. Which one is he? He's Harry's son. Okay, so it's the grandkids that are now currently vying for... Maybe even a great-grandkid is actually the A's announcer now. Because you had Skip Carey and then Chip Carey. That's announcer now. Because you had Skip Carey and then Chip Carey. That's his grandson.
Starting point is 02:09:29 And then I think Chip Carey's kid is now like an A's announcer. I don't know. That's annoying. But they're all just very good at announcing. It has nothing to do with... Like, you could have done it too, had you worked as hard as me. Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 02:09:46 Harry Christopher Carey known as Chris Carey is the television play-by-play voice of the Oakland Athletics and do you want to take a guess at his age based on some of the generation information we've been laying out here? 23. 24. Yeah, full-time play-by-play.
Starting point is 02:10:03 A's radio or TV? TV. Okay. Did you share it with the lady? Yeah, he must do the home games then. John Cazale, he was Fredo in The Godfather. Clara Hitler, his mom.
Starting point is 02:10:20 That's a tough one because that's such a pleasant name. She died in 1907. She really never got to see... She died being like, my son is a sweet boy. Yeah, he's... Nothing will ever... He'll never upend the world order for a century. Look at him sharing.
Starting point is 02:10:38 And Erwin died on this day in 1961. Excuse me, he was born on this day in 1887 I should say. Erwin Schrodinger. Of the cat? The physicist of the cat. Dead on this day, still dead. You know what really pisses me off?
Starting point is 02:10:54 Is that you raised a kid who just casually throws that around and knows what it means. And understands it better than we do. Why does that make you mad? Just because I'm realizing... Our kids are supposed to be better than us. Yeah, I know, but it's like when it's yours... I'm just like, she's just so smart. I'm like, man, I've been pretending like I knew what that meant since Breaking Bad.
Starting point is 02:11:16 I had to look it up. Yeah, of course. And then I forgot it, and then I had to look it up again the next time I heard it. Yeah. Died on this day in 30 BC. Again, the next time I heard it. Died on this day in 30 BC. Weren't we talking about the year zero recently?
Starting point is 02:11:33 Like, is Jesus' whole life the year zero? No. The death, they call the death the crucifixion. But they don't really ever account for the 33 years. So, when he was... I mean, it was like another time, right? He was born 33 B.C. Like, what if something happened... How is that possible? Because...
Starting point is 02:11:53 I don't know, man. You're supposed to know. So when he's 12, what year is it? I don't... whatever. 12. I don't know. Nobody knows. But again, when he was born, is it zero?
Starting point is 02:12:09 No, because AD is after death. So what happened between before Christ and after death? Did they have a big New Year's party? No. You don't know, do you? No, I don't. I'm not a historian of that time.
Starting point is 02:12:25 Got it. Well, you may turn to Leviticus. Okay, this is why BC and AD. No one actually is a historian of that time. Let's just be honest. So what happened in 30 years before? Oh, it died on this day is Cleopatra. She committed suicide by inducing a cobra to bite her.
Starting point is 02:12:44 Can that be that hard? It's pretty baller. It is, but like, it's just like kind of, yeah, like, hey, here's a snake. I'm going to F around with it. I'm inducing you. The cobra's just like, oh, I just bite people. Yeah, she'd look at it. What's up, bitch?

Starting point is 02:13:51 And so some people thought she was alive when they loaded her in. Why did you even tell Rob that exists? I don't know. I'd like to see it. I'm a reporter. Also, we'll hit him big around Thursday, but Today in History is brought to you by Prosper Ford Forgot to tell you guys that at the top
Starting point is 02:14:07 Do you miss yours? My Ford? Yeah Absolutely I miss First, I miss being in control Yeah, I know you do So I don't like
Starting point is 02:14:16 What was it the other day we had to wait an extra hour? Oh, it was Rob I'm not bagging on you But I am saying You said, hey, I'll be back in 15 minutes. And then 15 minutes later, you texted, hey, I'll be back in 20 minutes. Sorry, Rob. And then 20 minutes later, you said, hey, there's a lot of traffic.
Starting point is 02:14:35 Anyway, the point was when you have your own Bronco Sport from Grapevine Ford or Prosper Ford? This woman was not dead. Okay, we're doing a read, so why don't you... I'm not doing a read. I'm just saying... You know what I would say? You'd rather drive... You're not only in control when you have your own car.
Starting point is 02:14:55 When you go to Prosper Ford, and for my case, it was Grapevine Ford, but the ethos is the same. You're in control there as the customer. That's right. All these electric cars out here, I think I'm going to get the Mach-E when I get back. It's time to take care of Mother Earth. Do you want a great deal?
Starting point is 02:15:11 There's only one person I'm going to. Who? Do you have to possibly do a trade-in and you're looking for someone to totally job you on that, or do you want an accurate, fair value like today? I need my money. Go to prosperford.com. There you go. I guess we are doing a read. It need my money. Okay. Well, then go to prosperford.com. There you go.
Starting point is 02:15:26 I guess we are doing a read. It actually wasn't a read. It was just an off the top of the head. I miss my... And I'm going to go to my buddy Chaz Gilmore. Instead of live reads,
