Let's talk about fair lease.org. That's what we were doing. We were doing that off the air? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Well, let's just continue the conversation then about how great they are and how Brandon Aubrey got himself a new vehicle. He doesn't have time to be going to dealerships. He's got field goals to kick, and you've got to watch him. So you don't want to be hemmed up at some car dealership all day on the weekend. You've got $50 to pay to go watch your 8-year-old strike out. These are things that are important, not haggling with a bad.

bank or having to go to a dealership. The Credit Union of Texas makes that very, very possible with Fairlease because they are the backing. They are the bank. So if you've got credit history that needs to be worked with, they can help you there. Maybe you're looking for a very specific vehicle, be it for personal or your commercial use. Fair Lease can find it.

They're kind of a free-range car, right? There's no limits on this. It's Fairlease.org. Hit them up. Call our boys over there. Connor and Nick, the phone number is 972-705. 4815. It's fairlease.org.

Fair lease when you don't know what to do about a car, because car stuff is hard. But not with Fair lease. You don't need a dealership, baby. Hello, friend. Today, the Dumb Zone is in Oxnard, California. Thanks to our title sponsor, Plumquick, for having us out here, plumquick Company.com.

Second week of camp? Is anyone else doing that? A second week of camp? That's only with Plum Quick. Is that possible? And it feel good? On the weekend, you're like, all right, we're already settled in. You don't have to hurry to your place Sunday night.

Yeah. Figure it out, where to go, all that kind of stuff. Anyway, I'm Dammitel. I'm Jake Kim. I'm Blake Jones. Foodie K is here. Just a ball of peppy energy as often. Let me tell you something.

No. I don't want another notification. from Parents Square. You know why? Because I don't know what the fuck it is. I don't even know what you just said. What are we doing? Class structure Wall Spring. Parent Square. What are we doing? Why are you feeling why are you negative right now? I thought you'd be on cloud nine. He knows what I'm talking about. Maybe he does. Maybe he missed this. Every year we come up with a different system I got to sign up for a new password new notifications. What was the one last year? What was print tool? What was skyward? What was read it? What was book count? Now I'm we're on fucking parents square what is parents stop coming up with these that's a made up company just tell me the tests when are the tests this is insane dude so i feel like you do this morning we have a new promotion starting with game day men's health today so this morning i was like i'm going to go back to the meeting notes because one of the people in the meeting had sent us

you know it was their meeting yeah so it wasn't your notes so then i'm like oh how do i access the notes. I want to make sure I get everything right. We're promoting the bit. And I have to sign up for the new thing. And like it wants to access. It says only if I could let it access everything in my Google everywhere. Like calendars, every email, all this. And I'm like, do I want to do that just to read this meeting? Because I've done that with your note taker. I know. All these note takers. I'm sorry for two F words in the first five minutes of the show.

Did you swear? Come on. Oh, my gosh. Parents square? That's not a real company. But like I said, I thought you would win, you'd be happy. I am happy. By the way, because let's get these guys in on this. We got a weekend check coming up. I thought you'd be happy because you won the bet.

You once guaranteed me you would outlive Hayden Panitieri. Yeah. And congratulations to you. It was tough to be in Hollywood the night of a star. I didn't know who this person was, but TC assured me that you did. I thought you'd be a hero's guy. No, I didn't know. I don't know what that is.

That's Easter baskets for me. She was only big enough for one hero's guy. I knew bad radio got pretty into it, and without sounding like a D for a while, that was a pretty big cultural red flag for me. If I'm into something. Bob and Dan being like, this is cool. I'm like, I bet it's not.

See, that's... But it was at least the thing was it was on while you guys were into it. So that was like catching up a little bit from being like, we discovered this movie. that was popular two years ago. You're against that bit? I'm not against it. It was just as like a 20-something-year-old at the time, it was fun to watch.

Okay, yeah, you sound like my daughter. Well, it was just like this. But in any case. That was huge. I didn't know what Heroes was. But I was told this morning that she was a cociose daughter. And remember the Titans, which is a character a lot of people don't like. But I quite like it.

Oh, that's where she started, right? Her career star. Perhaps I'd work before that, but I'm not familiar. Yeah, she's been in our life for many decades, Jake. Yeah. Was. Or still is, I guess, right?

Film is, like, the video doesn't just disappear. Oh, my gosh. Does she have some, like, crazy situation going on? Obviously, if you're dying in your 30s. Okay, because I heard Clarence over there talking to somebody on the phone, but I assumed he was having, like, a family issue. But he was like... You think Clarence was talking about Hayden Panetteer?

He might have been. He was like, it's a child star. who had some sort of assault situation going on at home. I don't think I would have had that in my bingo. And now I want to yell over and ask, but I don't want him to respond, I don't want him to respond, no, my daughter. Things Clarence Hill might be talking about.

That's tough for you, man. I'm sorry. No, for you. I'm saying congrats. Oh. You always guaranteed me that. That I would out liver? Yeah.

I'm ready to give up this morning. Very excited for you. There's not that many people. on the list, but despite the fact that he's a hero of mine, I'd like to put people who are the same age as me that I'll probably outlive, Tim Dillon. I want to put on that list. Tim Dillon? I would have thought he was 48 to 50.

He said last night he was 41, and, you know, his joke was, which is a tough age to be when you look 53, because he does. He looked hard early. I was watching the whole set being like, man, we got to look alike. Yeah. In any case. In any case, yeah. So thanks to Plum Quick for having us out here.

Plum Quick is our title sponsor. We have Parlay Collective. That's our marketing firm. That's our supporting sponsor. And also thanks to Puddle Pools. And, hey, we showed up at our Airbnb this weekend, and there was a giant stack of Howl Water case, a case of Howl Water. Many cases of Howl Water.

dumped out all that swill. So thanks to that. Yeah, Blake has all this, he drinks this sludge. Yep. Well, whatever's in the fridge is not for you guys anyway. So don't touch it.

Stop moving around and stop turning the labels. I know what y'all are doing. And also, it's good to be back. If I put a picture frame down, don't put it back up. I don't need a cat

staring at me in the kitchen. Yeah. Ha! Oh, you're putting the cat frame down? Yeah. It's weird. leaving alone There is a lot of people

touching things that aren't theirs Someone took my My stevia this morning Oh right over there Yeah No that was me I was not in the house I was like you know what

I'll just leave it here Next to my other You know the half cup of coffee Certainly why would anybody take it Is that why you took your cereal It's not like a huge Well that's gonna sound mean You know I get one cup of coffee

Then I drink half of it and I fill half of it with water. I like my weak coffee. And yeah, then I came back down for my second cup of coffee, and there's my half cup of coffee. Nobody had touched that. Yeah. And then my little stevia that I had laid next to it is not fair.

It's odd because he's a very clean guy. I brought it from home. It's clear that he doesn't really think about living with other people much because in most places, if you leave three ripped open packets on the counter and just walk off next to a cup. I have the two ripped ones next to the two. trash. We don't just leave trash on the counter.

Even worse, he just threw it away. Then he just threw it away, as if it costs nothing. It might, like, literally cost nothing. But, yeah, that's... Probably the percentage, yeah. I don't want those little sugar crystals getting out on the counter. That's disgusting. Put a napkin down underneath it or something if it's...

Hold on. It's an issue. If we're going to talk... I'm very interested to talk about what Jake thinks is and is not disgusting. I might have to share a picture. Remember the picture I took in the car? Yeah, I know it was going. All right, I'll just say, well, you know what?

Let's first just jump into this weekend check and thank PlumQuick. It is our title sponsor, Plumquick Company.com. They have that annual membership you can sign up for for just $199. It's great. What do they do for you? Let's see, I got it written here. Well, they don't. I can promise you.

The water heater flush? It's not like these three guys. They're not going to show up and be like, ew. In general, they're pretty on board with whatever. You can't gross them out. They give you the whole home plumbing inspection, which is a great bit because you get little things that pop up throughout the year. And you're like, I'm not going to call for this one little thing. Well, you've got a lot of little things.

They do the water heater flush, one drain maintenance visit or sewer camera inspection. They got a camera that they could put down there in the pipe. What do you think of that? You're like, whoa. I think they should stream it. Maybe they will. Why don't we do that sometime? They waived the $89 service fee.

Anyway, the $199 a year Plumquick home membership is great. Talk to a couple people that this has already paid for itself. So hook it up with them at plumbquickcom. 469-331-369. And they are the reason we are here at training camp. All right. Jake thinks are disgusting. On evidence,

first piece of evidence, we say yes to a torn open stevia pack sitting next to an untorn open stevia pack. That's so disgusting. I'm going to take all of what's on the counter and throw it all away. Just not used to being around other people, I don't think.

Me? Yeah. Oh, okay. I'm the guy who's not used to being around other people. All right. So I got in the car this morning thinking, well, surely they took the car. It's not there anymore. And I looked in the cup holder.

Oh, there it is. Is it a 10 of Lucy? It is not. Is it one Lucy that was in someone's mouth and was determined to be used up? It was. And it's been there for four days. He's like, you know what? I'm done with this Lucy in my mouth, I will just set it here in the cup holder because I'm so used to being with other people.

I did not being disgusting. Because the other day, it was a test. And I did it on purpose, so then I spent my whole weekend with it as well. Just hopefully that Dan would see it Monday morning. This is actually a trap. I put it, so it fell out of my pocket in the passenger seat the other day. And we got out of the car and he pointed at it. And he goes, what?

And I go, what? And he goes, well, like, is that yours? And I go, the nicotine found? Why was the thing that was in your mouth in your pocket? I think it felt, well, because you take it out of your mouth, and then you, I put it in my pocket. That's not a good answer. That's not like, oh, yeah, that's what people do.

You throw it on the ground? Is that the move? About the trash. Yeah, trash. Well, eventually I would normally, but this time he became so like appalled by it. I was like, fuck it, and just threw it in the coffee hole. I haven't thought about it since then. But trust me, I'm aware.

that I'm learning. I'm a less literer. I was in LA. TC, hero of LA yesterday. And I had a lemonade that I had purchased that in trying to throw trash away and poked a hole in the bottom of it. And it was empty, but there was ice.

T.C. is like, I'm holding it out the window so that it leaks out the window. And we're going to drive somewhere and throw it away. He goes, just throw that shit out. We're like in the middle of the Santa Monica. I'm like, it's actively leaking. He's just don't shoot

I'm like, no. What about instead of just holding it so it can drip drip, what if you just dumped it out? There was trash in it. Yeah, it had more trash. Like we had collected all of the trash

except for your nicotine pouch. So you took trash and put it in a liquid. Yeah, it was ice. Trash juice dripping out the bottom. So that's why I'm saying, just get rid of this as quick as we can.

Yeah, I don't know if I'd throw the whole thing on the ground, though. There's very few times, I would say, just throw your trash out window, this felt like as close as we'll get to an exception. And then this morning, I was like, hey, I think I, because we had a long day yesterday, and when we got to the car, I took my belt off because I had khaki shorts and a poncho on.

I took my belt off. And this morning, when Dan was leaving, I walked out, I was like, oh, I think my belt's out in the car. He goes, oh, it is. I was like, what the fuck? I don't believe that's the tone I used. I was like, dude, we didn't, like, film a fucking, what did he think? we did

do the car. It was like my belts in it. He was filming the... Yeah, he's just like, oh yeah. The Jake Porto in the back. I'm like, I'm like, I'm going to grab my belt.

All right, I have some, for my weekend check includes Dan fights with his wife. Heck yeah. What a start. Friday is garbage day. I bet that was... Y'all fight a lot when you go on the road.

It's garbage and recycling. What do you mean? Why? I'll stand up for him. Because there's one person making sure that everything runs. Okay. And they forget that there's someone doing it.

So I want to make sure the recycle bin and garbage aren't just overflowing when I get home. We're going to be gone for two garbage days. And so I've learned from the past, so I thought. Because the garbage comes at like 7, 15, or 30 or something like that. And so in the past, I have a, you know, a reminder the night before or something. That's no good. It reminds me all that. Even because it could be taken as condescending.

So now I'm up. I'm still on Texas time. We're fighting it. I'm up at 6.45 a.m. Texas time. And I know, okay, she's up with the dogs now. This is the wheelhouse. She's getting ready. She has to be at work at like 7.30.

Texted. It's garbage day. Don't forget to take garbage out. That's right, Matt, Grimm. So I get a text back. What? eight hours later 10 i don't know sorry forgot i don't know that you can say and then i was like can you say sorry for god if you're like you can't forget at 645 right that's it's right then that was

the thing it was now and then so i got the uh you know oh i guess you remember everything and uh i don't no no that's why i set alarms for myself at 645 to take out of that's why i set alarms for myself at 645 to take the garbage and remind you but then then what you hear is like well uh i didn't have time because x y and z and uh to which i usually say are those the first time x y and z have happened and uh did they take a different amount of time than they have before or this pretty much the same right so on those days i'll add five to seven minutes because that's i've done this a few times so i know how long it takes you can just do that you can just add a little bit of time and take it's you can just add a little bit of time and take care of it.

But then it becomes, it's your fault for somehow. It's my fault if I ever want to... Dude, and I just imagine Dan... I've heard you stuff to my thing again. Staring at his home camera is like a deer blind just waiting for her to emerge. Like, is she going to show up?

Nothing. So, doing a little walk last night, wondering, what would it be like to live here? Maybe it's not the way it should be. You know, like, what would I want to go do if I lived here? You know, there's something to having a short amount of time here and just loving it. But looking at the weather app and seeing how hot it is in Dallas.

Yeah, there's a family next door with like a 10-year-old who just gets to live with the ocean right there in this weather. Yeah. They have to be over it. or just thinking this is how things are. That kid's having more sex than you are. Also probably worth more right now. That's unfair. So we were with a friend who said he knew somebody who grew up in Ventura and says it's the worst.

It's terrible. It's an awful place to grow up. Just because it's dirty? Like I was thinking it's kind of dirty. There's no way he has a reason. It's just whatever he grew up, if your parents were kind of mean during that, you're going to be like, ah, it sucked. Huh. Right?

I don't know. There's no, like, good logical reasons. I brushed that point off and disregarded it as, well, whatever. Yeah, I didn't want to hear more of that guy's takes. So, but I walked up to the beach because we're very close. Six houses away from the beach. So I walked up to the beach because, you know, I'm not usually around a beach when I'm going on a walk at home. They don't have a beach at Home Depot.

Maybe one day a lagoon, though. So I go up to the beach. Do you have that video? So this is the video. So then I see a guy on the beach. I'm like, what is he doing? Because it's beautiful. You know, it's magical.

The sun is setting, and you're just, it's the beach. It's the ocean. It's so big. This guy, I don't know if you can fire any audio on that, or if we'd even be able to hear it if he did. He, he's playing the bagpipes. Yeah. What?

He was, can you play it? Are you? Here. Maybe he lost his crew in that bay. He's just standing next to the water? That's... Like this one I'm showing now, he's kind of shuffling along. But when I first walked up there, he was just kind of staring straight out into the ocean. And, like, one of the top five most cumbersome instruments.

So to, like, get it to the shore, it's like, all right, bring the harp. Yeah, what else... What could you be doing out there? There's a reason ukulele is, like, the preferred ocean instrument. It's portable, it's tiny. That's insane, and I love it. See, I saw this morning, I thought I saw a pretty cool ocean scene. I walked out there, and I thought they were like buoys or like Bobby.

I saw like, you know, rope. Things that looked like they were attached out pretty far. And I started, like, looking closer and walking closer, and I could see what looked like arms coming up next to each one of them. They were tied to people. And it was people that just swim, like, parallel to the beach way out there in a line of, like, 10 to 12 of them. Insane, dude. Like, they're swimming through serious, serious current, and they just have those things tied to them.

Did you get their contact info? I tried to take a picture, but they were so small you couldn't even really see them. Would you like to be a part of that? Yeah. Like a little Congo line? It was crazy. Congo? How long are you swimming out there?

I guess you're not going to drown with that thing tied to you, but bagpipes is a different level. Yeah, but, you know, maybe he's always had the dream. I love playing the bagpipes. Wish I could do it while staring at the ocean. And there he is. So what's it going to be? What? I'm trying to think of what Dan will be staring at the ocean, walking about.

My dream? with my Jordan Hudson. That's too easy. She'll be walking with me. Like I'll be doing TikTok or whatever the social media is in 30 years. I'll be doing it with her and you'll be like, oh my God, look what he's turned into and his legacy. It's like, yeah, whatever. That's how canned Dan finally gets started.

She gets him to start the account. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I did buy some canned fish. And no one bothered that. No one ate that. It's all you. No one mess with my canned fish at all. And then I'm going to hand it off to Clayton for a little weekend check.

Can you? You got a mic? You've got a mic. The reason I was going to hand it off is because part of my weekend check was going to be that one of the things I sat down and watched on TV with Clayton. Because Clayton had the remote. and he chose, you know, there was all these NFL games on that were yesterday. He could have seen Shador Sanders. Right, a lot of debuts.

Could have seen Caleb Williams. Did he play? No chance. Didn't play? Come on, he's the Ice Man. The Ice Man doesn't play. Could have seen Jackson Dart. Yeah.

Anyway, we were watching Mama June. The show is called Mama June. June from not to hot. Yeah. Yeah, that's great. And there's a lot of concern about whether we get Mama June to show up at the courthouse for her. Oh. I bet that's a pretty consistent question.

For what? Whatever. I don't know. Oh, and the other big thing that we did. And Grim can even comment on this, too, because Matt and I and Clayton and Benji. our good listener friend, drove down to our crypto friend Nick Black's house. What city again? What city was that?

Thousand Oaks? Sherman Oaks. The mall in Fast Times of Ridgemont High. Okay. Oh, cool. Yeah. Is within minutes of this guy's house. And he has an incredible house.

By the way, he's not so hot on Bitcoin these days. Uh-oh. Not so hot on the coin. Jake was actually saying that too when we were driving down. Yeah? Yeah. That he's against Bitcoin? I'm not against Bitcoin.

Anyway, he's saying... He's cooling off. Yeah, he's just saying it's not a... He wouldn't jump into Bitcoin these days. He doesn't have a Bitcoin. I thought Trump was... But it's an incredible... Would you call it a mansion?

I would call it a mansion, yes. Yeah. Beautiful house. It's like the greatest house I've ever been in. I believe it. And I think he was like living in... Hollywood Phil's garage like a couple years ago. Damn.

So, he went from Notta Hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway. All right. Sorry, Clayton. Oh. I mean, we really didn't do anything.

You kind of... You took everything he had. I don't really know what he wanted me to talk about. He watched Mama June, Not to Hot. Yeah. I didn't think we were off to a great start here whenever you said, can you get a mic? And he goes, it's all the way over there.

And it was probably. two and a half feet. Clayton, are you having a good time or no? I'm not going to reach over. I'm working. Here at California. Are you happy that you're here?

I think he... I'm working. He doesn't... He'd rather us not go on the road. You should see how sour he is in Irving. Yeah. Well, I have. This is sparkling.

I mean... He doesn't... What do y'all want from me? I'm working. I'm trying to make sure the show's streaming fine. And it is, and it's great. I've got five internet sources going over here. Besides, that...

I just want to know, are you happy to be in California or no? Are you saying no? You'd rather be back in Texas on Texas soil with Whataburger and... This is what's best for the show, so I'm happy to do what's best for the show. Okay. Yeah, no lies told there. Just tough to be away from the more free gun laws. Can't carry a firearm here, yes.

Yeah. Well, you can't carry some stuff, but you can carry some stuff. You know, you got a little trade-off. I made this point the other day. You can have flavored, like, marijuana gummies and stuff, but you can't have flavored nicotine. Yeah, it makes no sense. It makes no sense.

You can have flavored marijuana vape. Yeah, yeah, right? Yeah. But not flavor. They sold me some. It's insane. Oh, this will stop it, but whatever. Okay, so it's just the dirty libs.

You just don't like that whole. Just the whole vibe of California? I mean, I got a Spencer-Mexam. McKinsey's hat. So fought in there. Yeah, that is, I think I have three or four. I can't remember how many times I've been to Spencer's. But I'm trying to win. I'm trying to win the Spencer's game. On the flavored vape thing, I am certainly would never transport any of this across lines or anything, but my wife was asking for some vapes. And so I went into the store and the ladies like asking, you know, I'm like, I want some of these, but you know, you tell me,

one's the good ones. And she's like, do you like the more weed flavor than the more fruity flavored? And I'm sure that my wife likes the more fruity flavored. So that's what I say. The lady's like responds back. Like, yeah, okay, bud. Yeah. Are the glory holes over there. They'll bend over. Yeah. So our portion of the weekend check will be brought to you by community mechanical. Our good friends of community mechanical who have done work at Brandon Aubrey's house. They've done work at all of our house. Blake wishes they were here. I know he does. They could cool down your room. And it's warmer today.

Probably fire a mini split in there. I would love that. I am not looking at the weather this week because I know that it feels like it's going to be hotter and Blake is going to be in a worse mood. I'm doing great over here. But community mechanical will be waiting for him at home. Have him out to do the preventative maintenance. It's kind of like what we talked about with Plum Quick.

You have them out there. They take a look at things. And that way when you do have real issues, they're already on top of it. You're in their system. You get a discount on work. If you get a new system, they will purchase you a sit-in.

You'll get to come hang out and see us do the show. If that's something you're into. CommunityDFW.com or 469-667-7-290. Don't forget about them for commercial work, too. A couple of Conne Rososos. A few game days have got a community in there. I know Jeremy... They'll cut a commercial?

Nated Silverback. He uses them for a lot of his commercial stuff. That's our job, buddy. So communityd-d-d-fW.com. Hit them up and talk to them. about Enos Cantor playing in the WNBA. Community Mechanical, Travis and the team real cool. You don't want your house to explode.

Don't be a bitch, so pick up the phone. Dan almost die. Parents Square. So, yeah, where do we go? Blake had a huge weekend. Blake can close. T.C. and Jake had a huge weekend. We left Saturday morning.

We all did, but T.C. and I left a little bit later than Blake did. We drove up to L.A. The first thing we did was we went to go see the Odyssey 70 millimeters. That what you call it? The biggest screen they have. So this is bigger than the IMAX in Dallas? Or the same? I think it might be a little bigger.

Because I think this is number one in the world, the city walk, the 70 millimeter. Because the one in Dallas, they'll always say is five stories, and I did hear them advertise this one is six stories. I would not say it looked to my eye like it. was definitely a story taller, but it was a very, very, very big screen. Packed? 70%. It was 11 a.m. on a Saturday morning, so.

But also... All the tickets were sold. Like, we were in the second row because whenever we showed up three weeks ago to buy tickets, that was all that was left. So some people may not have showed, but they definitely bought tickets. City Walk apparently also known as a Chinese theater. There's apparently nothing to do with South Park there. So to me, I mean, you think about the Soda Sopaw series.

Oh, wait. It's called City Walk? Yeah, not W-O-K. That's the man's Chinese theater? No, no, no, no. Yeah. He's just making a joke about walk and walk. People actually call it that, though.

I'm telling you. But I digress. The point is it's at Universal Studios. So that's a whole other experience unto itself. Like, you've got to park where you park to go to the theme park, and then you're walking in with everyone to go to the theme park except here's a movie theater.

And also a Margaritaville and a Bucca to Beppo? It's crazy. I mean, you're in a theme park. The, yeah, I'm not like a cinephile, but, I mean, if you can go do that, you should go do that.

And those big L.A. theaters, oftentimes, and this was certainly the case here, they display the costumes that were used in the making of the movie, They'll end up in a museum someday, but the intermediary step wall, the movies and theaters is the top theaters in the world. They'll have, you know, like his second in command on the boat, I don't remember the Indian guy. Yeah.

His, like, costume he's wearing the whole time he's on the boat. He was just waiting there for us whenever we get out of the theater. And then you guys, like, look at it and nod and go. He was pretty into it. I was. T.C.'s really into all of it. I love looking at it and nodding. I love doing that.

I've, I was, I'd seen the movie before, but to be honest, you have? Yeah, I went with my wife. Oh. Yeah, or there was orange chicken next to him. Oh, okay. But you just sit there and you just stare at the top of the screen. Because, you know, they're in like the ocean a lot, and it just looks crazy. You're like, oh, my, that's, this is as much as I could see without being, it's like being a cosm.

That's the closest experience, I could say. So we got out of there, and, you know, now it's the after. afternoon. We didn't really have anything else planned. We had a hotel we could check into it for. And I did a little digging and found some very off the beaten path open mics in like the Hollywood area. There are a lot of them. That doesn't mean there'll be anybody at them, but a lot of opportunities. So I signed up for a four o'clock and a five o'clock. Just to get some reps in? I'm out here, you know? It's like...

Maybe get discovered? No. You want to see the Hollywood comedy scene? I had absolutely nothing to do with Discovered. It was we had a gap in our window. We didn't really have anything to do. What we ended up doing was we went with Vijay to the Groundlings Theater Saturday night. Oh, V.J. Boyd.

Yeah. Awesome. Hollywood. So he met up with us and we went to an improv show, which maybe we'll talk about that more tomorrow in depth if there is anything. But in the intervening time, I signed up for a 4 o'clock and a 5 o'clock. Like that's the most famous improv, right? Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, it's up there, for sure. For sketch, it's up there. I mean, a lot of SNL people. There's people we saw the other night that have a shot, I would say. So these open mics... Did you go, watch him? The first one, yeah. And that was kind of like, he's never...

He's obviously not been with me before. So you don't know what you're going to get. And you especially don't know what you're going to get. Sign it up at 4 p.m. on a Saturday in another city. But I did. There was a list. There were four or five other people's names on it. You could see them online.

Said Venmo five bucks. So I did. You had to pay to get in the open mic. Which I think is like sometimes they'll be like bring five, get five. And you like got to bring people. But dude, we walked in and it is a, I mean, it was just called the Hollywood comedy. You could probably look it up online. It is a hole in the wall.

It's about the size of the tent. It's bigger than the tent, but not by a time. AC's broken. There's two people standing outside when we walk up that we come to find out they're going to go up, but they look like, they look unhoused. They look between unhoused and like your normal L.A. guy who lives in like somehow he's got a bungalow that he's paying $900 a month for because they're both like older street, somewhat meth-y-looking white guys. Well, Johnny had dreads, dreaded Johnny.

He's just a guy. You know, he's like any guy you see walking on the beach, you know? Either on medication or need to be. Yeah, he's got a half shirt on with no sleeves, sandals, capris. He's like the tannist, a Caucasian can be leathery. He was the Taws poster replaced by a sandwich instead of a shark. That's right. He had a shirt on.

And then the other guy was kind of a Rodney Dangerfield type vibe. but just both LA's all get out and I'm like okay I don't know if these guys are do they run the club I don't know we go in we sit down there's another guy and he's like are you guys here for the open mic like quite like shocked and I'm like yeah and he's like okay we're like oh okay

this is going to be a disaster and you know it kind of was but TC's not really familiar with how these things go I would say it was not that dissimilar from home It was just turned up a little bit You just got people I don't even know they fancy themselves as like stand-up comics They just want to get up and talk

And they're going to make people listen And this is an opportunity to do that So they two They both got up and kind of had jokes Not really The guy who was really more Roddy Dangerfield Had some punchlines None of them landed

But he did have a pretty good bit of he would issue his punchline and he'd look over and he'd go at least the fan is working because the fan was just the only thing you could hear

in the silence of his like an oscillating fan because the AC is broken they're all wiping down the mic before they take it with chlorox wipes and this young kid

who was the only other person he came up third and he's like hey to one of the guys he's like didn't they kick you out of here for saying the N-word last week he's like

you've been banned for this play like that wasn't me he's like that was new that and then the owner's like it's a different guy we got a lot of them that look the same and i'm like sorry i'm just gonna go do my bit so i did and then we left and did you hear more reaction than just the fan uh a little bit but it was barely they were it was it was tough they're not paying attention dreaded johnny gave me some good laughs they they were all paying attention like it's just such a small room that no one was laughing at anything, but all of them were super happy to be there. Yeah.

Like they were really excited that they got to tell their stories. They loved that there was a new person here. And so, like, you know, it's not like they were rolling on the floor laughing at stuff, but they were very encouraging and just, like, smiling. Okay, so they all knew each other. They'd all been there before. Yes, they're there all the time. Yeah.

Or will be for another month or so because they were like, yeah, the inspectors are closing this place down. We're getting sued. they had all kinds of stories. And there's stuff like he's saying. There weren't really jokes. I didn't laugh much, but like, I was just so excited for the slice of life that I was witnessing.

It's like going to AA. If you've never been to, it's like... It was a good AA. There's just people out there that you might miss them, but they got stuff to say, and you can go see them say it. They can be kind of hard to find. I compared it to like Alamo art.

It had that kind of feel Yeah Yeah So now I have another one I'm like all right Well this is down the street I'll go to this TC's like I've had enough

So I wanted to take some pretty pictures I went to this other one And it was like in a Almost like Like an apartment building Where there was a gate code And when I went in There was some kid

Who was probably like 2021 Indian kid who I think is just like a rich L.A. Zumer because he clearly was renting out this space. There was four or five of his buddies there, and they were just doing comedy, like in this room. And when I got there, they were finishing another open mic and two people left.

And so I walked in and I was like, is this it? And they're like, yeah, let's do it. And they were great. And then I left. And it was really weird. What do you mean they were great? They were, a couple of them were funny. A few of them weren't at all, but they were a good audience.

It was a way better scene. Yeah, way better, despite the fact that it was like in a really weird, it felt like I was in a college apartment. Very strange. And then, yeah, we chilled, went to the Groundland Show, and then yesterday it was baseball time. So I've never been to Dodger Stadium. And so we went, we got tickets from Matt Small from the Milwaukee Brew.

the hottest team in baseball in town to play the rival two-time champ Dodgers. Dan, you've been to Dodgers Stadium bunch times, right? Yeah. Where would it rank for you? I mean, right up there with Fenway or Wrigley. Yeah. It's just a legendary, you're there. It's such a cooler surrounding than Femway or Riggly.

Yeah, for sure. It's unbelievable. Yeah. They've done, like, an incredible job of protecting him. But you should go. If you like baseball at all, you should go to Dodgers Stadium. Like simple stuff. You had never been?

I'd been once before, and I loved it. I was so excited to be back. You know, all the signs in the outfield for advertisements are the same shape. Like there's just a uniformity. That's something that, from my touch at Tiz. I really like things to be uniformly. That's why I'm throwing your stevie away. It's me problem, not you.

But I like the way at Dodger Stadium, everything is just like, I don't know. It's perfect. It fits. It's the same, like, the angles and the shapes all fit. Such a palm trees. Palm trees. Yeah, it's consistent. And we weren't in any, like, you know, I always hear about the beating to get in and out, but we had all day.

So we went to Philippe's. It's always good to have Norm with you. That's what I've heard. If you need a handicap parking. Across the street, Philippe is a sandwich shop that claims to have invented the French dip. Okay. Like the first. Hard to call them on that, right?

Yeah. In that place, packed before a game. That was awesome. And then the game itself was electric, dude. It's Scoobel versus the young stud. The Brewers wouldn't trade for Scoobel. It's day game. It was, dude, it was heaven.

It was incredible. You said it was awesome when Otani would go up to bat? Oh, yeah. So, so, like, just there's, I've never seen anything like it in baseball before. The electricity? Yeah. I was walking around. Like he's a don't miss that bat guy.

Like there's very few of those. Yeah. But you won't go get a beer. You won't go get whatever. You won't go to the bathroom if he's coming up that in it. I was taking pictures of my cameras. So I was walking the entire stadium. And you could tell when he's up to bat.

Every single person in the concourse walks to where they can see the field and stops until he's done. Yeah. And we had an angle. We were like behind home plate and to the right. Great seat. Awesome. And you know, for him being left-handed, like, you're at his back, and he looks giant, and he stands in the box so big. And his walk-up song that he uses is Michael Boubley, feeling good, which sounds really corny. But it has like a final boss of a video game feel to it.

like it's this very sweeping, dramatic. And we got to see him get up with two on, one out in the eighth, 4-1. And I told Dan on the way here, I would have bet, yes, if there was a 50-50, right there I would have been like, he's tying this game. And you could just feel it. And he hit into a double play. At a pretty competitive at bat, but it ended with a hit to a double play, and then the stance filled out.

but, man, just a glorious, glorious day. I don't know if I can play some of this or pull me up, Blake. Let's see if it... No chance. Oh, inputs. Hold on. It'll probably get a stink by YouTube anyways, but even for just like a couple seconds. And then we had some time to kill after that, and then we went to see Tim Dillon at the Comedy Store.

Another place I've never been. Have you been to the Comedy Store, Dan? No. I don't think so. But you've always heard of the comedy store. Sure. That's not where Mitzie Shore... Is that her place?

Oh, okay. Yes. Now, it's not where Michael Richards started his descent. That's the laugh factory. But that's like half a mile. Yeah. They're both right there on sunset. Just driving down that area.

It's one of the iconic streets in all of America. It's right at the foot of the mountains. And, you know, countless amazing, famous things. have happened there because like all the metal bands from the 80s, all the venues where they played are right there. And then, yeah, the comedy store where every single comedian you've ever heard of

is played at some point. Did you go down Hollywood Boulevard and stuff? Not yesterday. I've done that. Remember I did that on that one tour. Dude, I saw, I had a couple of Dejaobo moments yesterday. The TMZ tour. Shutter. That was great, the TMZ tour.

Let me see, Blake. Did you go to the last place where Janice Chaplin ate? Okay. We didn't have a chance, no. So this is... Hold on. He comes to the plate, and you just hear... Sounds very old school.

It's crazy, dude. Like 50s or 60s type. Yeah, Hollywood. Yeah, it's like a show. And then he's just up there, taking his cuts. Dude, and it's... It was awesome. And really, from a baseball standpoint,

it was really cool because, you know, like that matters to the Brewers and their fans. I don't know how much anything matters to the Dodgers and their fans. Those people love the Dodgers. You're probably right. That's about the most hardcore sports fan you get out here, right? Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously people love the Lakers too, but. That just feels more in vogue. Baseball is, like, harder to love.

But the Brewers, you know, the Dodgers had a very messy day defensively. A lot of, like, kind of half-forking. Fast plays in the field. Because they live out here. Scouple doesn't really love, you know, fielding his position. That's why I don't want to live out here. I don't think I don't care about anything. I want to work like I live in Milwaukee.

Yeah. They are on top of their shit yesterday. I read something about that the, you know, the baseball, the collective baseball world lost its mind when the Dodgers traded for Scoobal because they're just going to waltz to another world series. Someone forgot to tell the Brewers, though. Oh, no doubt. Oh, dude, I was full chappy in the stands yesterday.

Like, when they made an air, like the Dodgers made an air to keep an inning going, I was just like, can't buy that? Can't trade for that, can you? Nope. Can't pay for that? You can't defer money on that? You try to buy a little hustle. He was.

Justin Bieber was. Oh, really? Yeah. See him on the telecats. Should I have gotten less excited when I heard that? Oh, really? I was pretty excited. Wait, Justin Bieber?

Last album is great. All right, let's move on to Blake's weekend check. Blake had a lot. Were you going to talk about what we saw on the way to the Dodger Stadium? We do need to do that real quick. How about that? Yeah. So, a big fan of covering the LA news out here.

You see a lot when you watch the nightly news. I got a separate YouTube TV account where I'm recording all of it, which was helpful last night because we needed to check and see if the situation we saw was covered. I have a news story about it, but we were driving, you know the area is better. Hancock Park. It was a nice neighborhood. You always know you're in a nice neighborhood when the street is called Lucerne. Because that's in Switzerland.

And there's never going to be like a shitty neighborhood where it's like, I'm over here at Lake Lucerne Boulevard. That's not in South Dallas? No. Think more civil rights leaders. So we're driving through and there's some streets blocked off. And I look back and I see a fire truck that is not a regular fire truck. but I didn't clock it immediately and TC goes, that's SWAT.

And we were like, oh shit, so we make a loop around the block and we try and the next street is closed and that's what LAPD SWAT rolls in. A murdered out fire truck that says LAPD SWAT real big on the front of it, just the black, it's menacing looking. And so now we're like, let's just park. We parked in this residential neighborhood

and walked seven, eight houses to the corner. There's another guy there who lives in the neighborhood. He's walking his dog. He's like, what's going on? I don't know. We just got here. And we're like, I mean, we're pretty close, dude. I would say 50 yards

from the back of this house where there is lady cop holding rifle and two other cops, one with shotgun, one with pistol. They're standing there, like, ready. Birds got the chopper over the overhead.

Yeah, that was how we, like it was seeing the dark fire truck and then being like, yeah, and I guess there is a chopper that I can hear right now. Yeah. Then we look out the window. It's an LAPD chopper. How excited are you guys? Oh, man.

We're like, this is, and it's like this is Sunday morning? Rock hard. Yeah. I'm trying to see if I find it. Oh, it's Sunday morning. And it's a Vic Mackie. Yeah. Yeah.

And so. Lady cop. The lady cop was. Did she feel your Riz? Dude, I feel, well, we're pretty far away. She was on point. Still. The ones working the, because they had, like, the police line, do not cross.

It was dudes working those. Yeah, and TC got out and started taking photos, like Nightcrawler style. Journalist? Yeah. The cop was, you know, he seemed interesting. He's like, you do this professionally? I'm like, I'm just for fun. He's exposing. But it turns out, yeah, they'd been there for a couple hours.

And I now know of something. You said, you found the Yuka app. What was the other one you were just talking about? for us for me now it's the citizen app yes because tim dillan referenced it last night and i downloaded this morning to look up details this is like they're like next door on steroids this is like just for homeless and people you don't want you know if you're a rich person it's not just like hey there's a bake sale or uh your dog's out but yeah somebody broke in naked

with a baseball bat. And we saw pictures of him bringing the guy out. It happened around 8 a.m. bringing the guy out. And he had wounds from gunshot and canine. He's awake. He was alive. White guy sitting up on a gurney. He looked like one of the...

Naked. Yeah, looked like one of the henchmen from Point Break. Like one of War Child or something. Like just got spazzed out. The homeowners got out. And so then I guess they were there for a couple hours trying to solve. Get this dude to come out. We eventually just left, but it was like, damn, dude.

Meth's a hell of a drug. It's a Sunday morning right here in very nice neighborhood. It was cool. Very cool. That's awesome. We had a big weekend. That is awesome. And then is Tim Dillon great?

Yeah. I'm a big fan. I mean, I think he could rub people the wrong way because he's kind of like ranty, you know? Like he's doing a lot of rants where he's scorn. Kind of Kinnison style again, not to overuse that, but he does have a lot of jokes, and I think they're great. But it's almost like White Chappelle to me. Like, he's kind of just stalking around and, like, telling you what sucks about this or that. He's right, but it's kind of philosophical than less than it is.

Like, you go see Akash. Even when Akash is not, like, doing his set, it feels like more stand-up. he's not like pontificating as much but I love it dude I think I could listen to Tim Dillon scream at me for 45 minutes and yeah I had a blast and love it

the openers were all great yeah he had a bit about the Olympics coming to LA and he's like what did the homeless want this did someone go to them and say guys what do you want they said our answer may shock you like why is it here

no one like their collective in the room last night when he brought it up. Like, no one here gives a shit about the Olympics at all. They have homeless people. Like, everyone here is like, this sucks. They're like, what about the Olympics? I don't know. Good luck with it.

Blake, your weekend check. It's brought to us by Trident Excess Services. That's our garage door company. Got a recent email. Says, hey, Dumb Zone. I want to give you a quick trident testimonial. My fine aunt's called me, panicked yesterday morning. She was distracted with getting kids in the car and two appointments,

and they were late for the appointments. She backs out of the garage before it was all the way up. To make matters worse, she repeatedly tried to close the door so she could leave. This resulted in everything coming off the rails, literally and figuratively. I packed up my computer, racing home. I thought only of Trident. I called them. Lisa answered, and she was thrilled to hear.

I was a dumb zone listener. We like to hear that. She put me in touch with James, who was in McKinney on a project. He assured me he would stop by my house on his way home to help. About 5 p.m. he shows up. Somehow he gets things put back together on the rails enough to safely put the door down for the night. This morning, I had an estimate for a new door. We're scheduled for installation Monday.

Awesome experience. Thank you for the recommendation. from Christian. Just another happy Trident Access Services customer there. TXTridant.com 817-51212-12. Be like Christian.

You could probably say this on the other side about a lot of industries like rehab. That one's probably husbands are keeping that one going. How much of Trident Access Services business is wives? That's a great question.

Oh, I didn't know. just running over your garage or hitting your gate on accident backing out like but it's not their fault it's not their fault there's other things happening you because you didn't tell them about the trash

early enough you're the one that wanted a garage door anyway that's classic that would work so just a quick reset I produced the national radio broadcast for Compass Media

so because of that this is a double work trip. I'm here at Cowboys Training Camp. I'm not your wife, dude. You don't have to sell this to us. And I also had to get myself to Seattle for Cowboys Seahawks in week one of the preseason.

Dude, like I said, I'm on Texas time. Some up at 630, which is 4.30. Yeah. Local time. Got up Saturday? He's gone. Yeah, I was afraid of L-A-X.

What time were you on the road? 4 or 30. Oh, okay. About then. I must have got up just after you. You're already gone. Yeah, so I was afraid of L-A-X, and so I gave myself plenty of time. I also, I didn't want to be on someone else's schedule ordering an Uber at 4-30,

so I just rented a car, drove down there myself, and L-A-X was easy enough. But getting on the plane at L-A-X to Seattle, I knew I had an early morning, and I knew I had a long day, so I gave myself the very back of the plane window seat that way I could just nuzzle in my corner and sleep for the plane, or sleep for the three hour plane ride, which

Dallas to L.A. three hours. L.A. to Seattle, three hours. Illogical. I think it's because... Can I tell you guys something? It's because the earth is spinning under you. That's basically what I was going to say.

I think the earth is flat. I think sometimes you guys ever watch soccer or football and you feel like guys are running faster when they run horizontally than vertically? If you're having to dig back up

to the middle of the field, I don't know what it is. But there's something about north. Yeah, yeah. Up hill. Yeah. Had to fly uphill. Basically.

That's why it's harder to go. Probably get back. It was like an hour. North, that's why they put the wall up there. It gets tricky. It's probably about the same distance in miles. It's the entire height of the country. Right.

Oh. Yeah. Anyway. That doesn't make sense. I think you go west. I wanted to nuzzle in my corner. Straight west. I walked to the back of the plane and there's someone in my seat.

You got to be kidding me. An early morning flight? Yeah. And this isn't the Cowboys playing. This is your checking on doing it. This is with the pleaves. Yeah, I'm flying commercial. And so I get there and, you know, we had gate changes.

I thought my seat assignment might have changed. So I just went to the flight attendant. and I was like, I just want to make sure I'm in my right seat. And the guy sitting in the aisle says, hey, do you mind if we switch? And his wife was seated in my seat. And their tray tables were down. They had gotten some orange chicken or something. They had made themselves a home.

I had no choice. Oh, damn. You got, I can't believe you. You had the most exciting choice that I could imagine. What a pussy. Especially you. Absolutely not. What?

You punted up the chicken. I get the aisle. I put paid for the aisle. I want to sit on the aisle. Oh, I'm sorry. You must be going to produce the national broadcast for Dallas Cowboys. You go move to wherever she was sitting. You know, like displace someone else. No.

Who's sitting in the middle? I can't believe you did this. Did they have someone in between them? What a pussy. They could have been used. I don't want to see you ever again. I know. Okay.

So is there someone in between them? No, it was a small plane. So it was two by two. And where'd you go get cucked? You have to sit in the corner and watch them? I had to sit next to him in the aisle, which meant no sleep. Yep. Bad start.

And I'm sorry. Like, dude, I got up at 4 in the morning to get here. I know, but they were, I don't know. I'm just not as confrontational as I need to be. And I was just like, yeah, I guess. Was there any air of disease on these people? Like, could you feel bad somehow? Was there a...

You could have just... LAX to Seattle doesn't feel like a poory flight. It's not. I don't know, man. Hold on. I'm out of inputs. What'd you say? Yeah, and so I sat right next to it.

Yeah, there's a mic if you want it. So I just sat next to him. Grab the handheld. Dude. The guy know you were mad? Yeah, I just, I looked down and I said, I guess. That's important. So now he made it work.

Now the headset works. Now that you're making noise with it. So anyway, that's the start of the trip. I'd be so fired up to make them pack up. I'd want to see him put in this little thing. Yes, I'm mine. All three of you would have made a scene? I wouldn't have.

That wouldn't have been a scene. It would have been... Actually, I'm sorry. I need the window. It's a long day. I got up at 430 here and I would have made a seat. I would have wanted to make a scene. I would have wanted to, but I would have just eaten it.

I needed y'all. On one of the flights to her from Ohio, there was a guy that he just read his ticket wrong and was looking at me like, hey, you're in my seat. And I loved every minute of the interaction. I knew. How righteous indication. I knew the flight attendant would be telling him how wrong he was soon.

And this is going to be fun. Anyway, so get to Seattle. A lot of different cultures in Seattle. You got your Pacific Northwest lumberjacks. You got your Japanese people. Here comes run the ball guy. It's great. No, no.

I got to see multiple. bows at the airport, thought that was great. Okay. They don't put their hands together. We learned that. Yeah. It's just that Koreans put their hands together. Japanese just hands at side.

Oh, okay. For the future. It was awesome to see. I think Vancouver, similar, you'll see like a lot of native stuff at the airport. Native what? Like Native American. Seattle, too, or no? Like the Seahawks logo.

Yeah, I guess that, yeah, it's like a, you'll see like canoes and stuff. Yeah. You were like, oh, I forgot they had TPs. I forgot they had these folk up here. Well, I saw this... I'm a Navajo, so that's less my... Sorry. In the baggage claim, I saw this family of three

sharing bone-in wings on their luggage. So they had their, like, rolling luggage, set here, and in the middle was this giant bile of bone-in wings, and they were all just, like, dirty hands eating wings in the airport. That's what I'm. Anyway.

Is that more or less weird than orange chicken in the movie? I think it's more weird. That's so gross. I think Dan and I can agree on that one. That is, that is atrocious. Took a yellow cab to the game, and we drove past T-Mobile Park where the Mariners play. And outside of the stadium are three statues.

For the Mariners. Ken Griffey Jr. was one of them. It was the second. Yeah, there's one more. Hold on. The pitcher. Hold on. It's King Felix or Jay Bueh.

Not Felix Hernandez. Oh no, the D.H. Edgar Martinez. Edgar Martinez. Edgar Martinez. Nice and done, guys. Because he got in the Hall of Fame. Is that all Hall of Famers?

Yeah. I guess. You got to get in the Hall of Fame to get a statue. Probably. Although they had Randy Johnson too. They don't want to put one up for the one good year of Cal Raleigh's career? Boy. Is Cal Raleigh falling off?

Yeah. I think the stats. The bad I saw on him the other day is he had more home runs last year than he has hits this year. He's played a lot, too. He's been bad. Who's falling off harder? Him or Skeens? Probably him.

Yeah. Skeens has like a 5-ERA. And if you remember, Cal Raleigh didn't shake Randy Rose Arena's hand in the World Baseball Classic. That's when it all went downhill. Interesting. Lumen Field was awesome. The stadium was really loud, even for a preseason game. Yeah.

God, they love the 12th man up there. Good, they created it. It was one of the banners. One of the, like, all the banners of the retired numbers, 12 up there. Oh, yeah. Under it said fan. Yeah. And then jerseys, like you'd see.

It's the most popular jersey. Yes, 12. You can tell on television how loud it was. Yeah. Bill Jones commented a couple times of like, dude, this is really good for the young guys, because you're not getting this volume in a normal preseason game. I can't wait for you guys to see it in the regular season.

Yeah. It's such a cool atmosphere. I can't wait for that. Monday night. It's going to be really cool. The spread, the food spread at the game, just awful. Oh. I don't know what it is.

Seattle loves hot dogs. They do. Yeah. They put cream cheese on them. I love that too. Did not know that. Yeah. But on the walk-in, you know, they have the, it's a downtown-ish stadium.

And around the stadium they have like all these tents serving food, food trucks, what have you. Everything was just sausage and hot dog. Yeah. Inside they had sausage. And then they tried to do brisket. It didn't go well. Very dry. They tried it in the press box?

Yeah. Jesus. Had this nice Asian lady cutting it. No. Everything about that is wrong. I'm sorry. Yeah, horrible. No barbecue sauce to go with it.

I mean, I'm not, if I walk up to, you know, what's it called, Habachi and it's Doyle King there, I'm not going to be fired up about that. No. Right. They did have an open bar of sorts. in the press box of Starbucks. I thought that was a very nice touch. It is.

And so I said on the show, I'm trying to limit my caffeine, not that night. I had plenty of Starbucks. The game was good. Went fine. On the way back, I took another yellow cab. And the guy had broken English, but he was enjoying talking to me for some reason. And I finally got to the point where I asked him where he was from. And he said Somalia.

I only know one thing about Smalia. Pirates? And so I asked him, do you have pirates there? Yeah. He didn't love the question. He was like, yeah, I mean some, but like there are gangsters here in America. Should I think that all Americans are gangsters? Maybe.

That's a solid point, I guess. Yeah, I mean, yes and no. I mean, you weren't saying everyone there was. No, I was just asking. And it would be like if he said, do you have school shootings there? You'd be like, well, I mean, not all of them, but a lot of them, more than other places. Enough that it might be the first thing you think of. And in Somalia, you're probably just going to have to wear the pirate patch.

Yeah. Like, own it. Yeah. Boy, I love where'd you come from. It took me a while to get my courage back after I stopped drinking, but... Because, dude, there's nothing worse than like a 27-year-old with just read a bunch of graduate degree shit. thinks I'm the smartest guy. I'm fucking hammered.

2 a.m. guys like from Pakistan, I'm like, Kashmir, how long are you going to fight about that? His conflict is unsettledable. Think about how it started. He's like,

why don't you not talk to me? I like the, have you noticed now in Uber's? I had like a LeBron or Jordan trivia touch thing the other day. It was a cab, actually. It was a cab.

Because Uber's not having that. It was like a, You know, like you see Maria Minuto at the gas pump giving you what's going on? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was in a cab that had, like, sports news, and you could touch to vote for who the goat was. Were you playing? I didn't, but I took a picture of it. So the hotel I stayed at in Seattle,

um, had to make sure I got continental breakfast. Had to make sure I got a free shuttle to the airport. And these were, the hotel was packed. At continental breakfast, 7 a.m. is just peased. people everywhere. I just didn't know, like, was it the cowboy game or what? Yeah, the night of their game, yeah. But apparently, this hotel also offers a shuttle to the cruise line.

So I had cruise people at my hotel. Going up to Alaska a couple days. Just so many chappies. Yep. And so there was nowhere to sit, really, in the breakfast area, and I kind of found a spot in the lobby, but the only thing I felt comfortable eating there was cereal. and if you'll notice, even in the mornings here, I'll take my cereal out to the balcony.

I'm not going to eat cereal next to somebody. Right. I'm with them all that. I'm bothered by the crunch. I'm not going to eat cereal next to somebody. That's one of the things you're running on. Yeah. I'm with them 100%.

I know whenever, you know, who's in the room. Yeah. So do you guys get mad if people eat cereal by you? I'll remove myself from the situation. So the answer is yes. I don't love hearing it. I don't want you guys to ever see me eat. That's some of it.

I don't like it. But the crunching, yeah, it does make me angry. Can I drink near you? That's fine. Okay, it doesn't sound like it. Yet you want to go to dinner together. He wants to eat. Yeah, I want to eat.

Okay. Crunching is a little different. Okay, I'll make sure not to order certain things. Thank you. Were you upset when I got the wantons the other day? No. No, but you can see how we arrived at the Apple conclusion. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. One of the crunchier things you can't eat. Which he doesn't eat in front of us anymore. No, I know. Which I appreciate, but then I also feel bad about. But in the end, you're happy. Anyway, I had to take my bowl of cereal outside and eat with the people smoking. Because first people also like to smoke.

That's where you want to be anyways. Sure. I'm fully in on the end of smoking destroyed our social fabric. I was going to ask. W.H.L? Yeah. Like, you'll see that theory positive, like, work breaks. and just people stopped having time to just get together

and be like, doesn't this suck? It's like, yeah, but it sucks together. Do people out in the smoking area ever smoke the weed? Much harder to get away with. Yeah, not here. What do you mean to get away with? Like here, I'm saying. Here, Seattle is...

That actually smells so much more. These people were cigarettes. Okay. So I'm eating there. I'm eating my frosted flakes next to the smokers, and then a lady begins to barf in the trash can outside. Oh, whoa. Cruz probably.

Maybe. Maybe, but she's just like... So you'd rather do that. Eat amongst people... Second-hand smoke and barfing. That's more acceptable to you than eating next to a human. Like just a person sitting there, eating. Yeah.

If they would close their mouth, maybe, but... Yeah. Anyway, so I'm trying to power through my cereal milk and she's going to town in the trash can. That's disgusting. I finish up. I finish up. I'm going to...

back to my room, I get on the elevator, she gets in my elevator. Oh, this is a movie trope. And I thought of me... I thought of... I thought of... I thought of Dan, are you getting off the elevator? Because I thought about it. Pute smells...

Yeah, what if she's... Radiates off you. I would have gotten right off you. I thought you might have. You start throwing sawdust at her. How hot is she? She went on a cruise. What do you think? I would hand her a mask.

I go here. Will you put this on? A lot of people in L.A. wearing them, which... Made me wonder, am I behind? Is that what it is? Yeah, but it's also just, there's a lot of Asian people, too. And Asian people have been wearing masks for forever, you know? Yeah, but then it turned out they were right.

I know. They bowed, they wear masks, but then they invent the disease. I guess that's why. They're just worrying about the disease they got tied up over there. A couple more things. So then the shuttle to the airport, we were all waiting outside with the smokers, and the shuttle gets there, and a guy. in a wheelchair

joins us. And so we were all being polite, let the wheelchair guy in front to get on the shuttle first. Maybe he's got to get the lift, whatever. He gets to the door, and he gets up out of his wheelchair and walks onto the bus.

Start shoulder pressing his wheelchair. Who did I hear say that? Was it the other day, Matt? Somebody was talking about the airport is a very high... Maybe it was Brunigs. A high wheelchair. Just there's more people using wheelchairs in airports compared to the general population.

And they're getting pushed. Right. Somebody else is pushing them. They don't. The point is they don't really need the wheelchairs. They can, yes, they can walk. Abusing it. They just don't want to walk that far.

Same with this guy. This guy, I don't know, but it just like we all did kind of like make way for him. Like, oh man. And then he just gets up and walks into a bus. Box jumps up the first step. Yeah. Have you guys ever seen the, viral video of like, I think it's in New York

and some guy, little guy, looks like a kid gets thrown off of a bus, like thrown, and everyone freaks out. Yes, I love that video. The guy's wearing like a parka, and he's got tied up real quick, and people are like, you can't hit a kid like that? And they go over and the guy opens up his jacket, and he's like

60. He's just a little guy. Everybody's like, I go, trying to help him. And the guy's like, that ain't no baby. Yes. It's just a nuisance. So on my way back, while trying to get my boarding pass, a little pop-up came up and it said,

upgrade to first class. Hey. Done. I was like interested. I look at it. $96 bucks. Done. So I was seat 1A on the return flight.

Kind of hard to take that seat from me. I think for $100 I'd do it. I've never been offered. But that's a pretty low number. Yeah. And how was it? You didn't have to trade with anybody, I'll tell you that. Did you drink out of a glass glass?

I did. Drink out of a glass. They provided a meal. Various snacks. No one around. It was awesome. Did you take a dump in that bathroom? No.

No, I wouldn't do that. My one complaint. A part of the first class experience is boarding the plane first. Right? Well, at this, Seattle's airport, has got a lot of problems. One of them being, they have a lot of like external terminals.

Yeah. So when we land, we get off the plane, get on a shuttle that takes us to the main terminal. Same going out. And so whenever we check in, yes, I'm first class,

scan it, get on the shuttle. The problem is, if you're first on the shuttle, you're last off the shuttle. So I was the last person on the plane. Kind of ruined some of the fun. I like that, though.

The whole thing is full. until 1A and here he comes folks we got one more special passenger for you today well he missed eye contact with those 125 people that were sitting behind it yeah i didn't i didn't hate that but as i was getting onto the shuttle i was like well well now i'm going to be last on the plane all in all though great weekend cowboys got a w yes they did congratulations to you we're really covering this like no one else can no burline no had two local seattle guys were they the guys that were they the guys that Once interviewed Jake and played lots of sound effects? No, I don't think so.

But in their open, they called Christian Parker, Christian Walker. They're like, hey, you're going to need to correct that. It's Christian Parker. A lot of people call them CP if you want to call them. Don't call them CP. Some people are calling them Chomo. Stop calling them. You shouldn't do that.

All right, so we're going to do sports now. People are calling him Pito Parker. And sports is brought to us by Game Day Men's Health. We need to talk about the new bit. Football season. It is football season. We're going to have a bunch of football streams, as we will, in the den high atop my garage. That's become a tradition unlike any other.

So we'll do eight of those. And generally, we'll have about 10 or 12 people in there. What we're doing right now this year with Game Day Men's Health is we're guaranteeing two Game Day Men's Health seats at every game. And if you'd like to win those two seats, just go to Game Day Men's Health. There's 12 area locations. Like, which one do you go to? Mansfield. He goes to NRAH.

Okay. I'm a great fine guys. You know, machine is a Lakewood guy. Well, just stop in any one of them. Say that you're there. Get a free testosterone check. It's called a rapid testosterone check. So it just takes a few minutes.

Just see what your levels are. And you will be telling me you want to be entered into the drawing. Now, you should get in now, because you might be there at our first game. You know, if only a few people go get entered in the drawing, your odds are going to be great. In theory, they'll be worse later in the year as time goes on. So game day men's health, what do we got, gameday.com. Yep. When I check it all out?

Just get the tea checked. You're in the drawing to win seats at the stream. That's simple, folks. And, yeah, then you come and join us and, you know, drinks and food. Show us your new erection. Kanye Roso, yeah, you can show us your erection. It'll be great. Gameday.dumzone.com.

Sponsors, sports today. From the wonderful world of sports, radio sports, scoreboard. Oh, yeah, I like that. It's a preseason game. I'd like to take you, and we can talk about the game a little bit if you want, but I want to take you to what we were watching. from the Airbnb is, I guess I didn't know I could get Bill Jones and the Blue Star Network here in Ventura,

because we're watching the NFL network, and there's a lady who is the play-by-play announcer. Do you know about this, Blake? Unfortunately, I do. I have her muted in this year's Madden. Oh, she's on Madden? Yeah. What's her name?

Kate Moss? Kate, no, not Kate Scott. Kate Scott. Kate Scott, yes. So the booth is Kate Scott, Michael Robinson, who apparently was a fullback. And then jumping in and out would be Michael Bennett, who sounds just like Marty B. You remember him from the Black Olympics, right? Michael B.

Are you talking to me? Yeah. The listener in general, I am as steeped in Bennett lore as anyone you know. I think I have his children's book somewhere. So here is... He's the one who burn the flag. Well, I mean, at least the perception is out there. Here is the intro to the...

So apparently on the NFL network, we were just getting the Seattle feed. Yeah. I think. I mean, Michael Bennett's on it and stuff. So I feel like this was just the Seattle feed. Yeah, I've seen this before, like the Rams. when we've been out here and the Cowboys played the Rams,

NFL Network would run the Rams feed and you'd get like Mina Kimes. So I thought they were just jerking it over Seattle because Seattle won the Super Bowl. And so, yeah, of course you're going to do that. But I think, yeah, anyway, here. Here's the intro. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the booth here at Lumen. He is the Super Bowl champion, Michael Robinson.

Super Bowl champions Michael Bennett and Cliff Averill are here as well. I'm just the chick calling the game tonight. Oh, Steve Scott. So happy to be with you guys, though, because what a difference a year makes, Mike Rob, right? Last year. Mike Rob. Do you enjoy that? That's the first one I wanted you to hear. She is, and I've never heard of this before, but I don't hate her

yet. Yet. She is the pre-season television voice of the Seahawks. I didn't know you could be designated as such. Well, you got Bill Jones. I guess that's true. He's the pre-season television voice of the Cowboys. Yeah, so it's Kate. Mike Robb.

She's with Mike Rob. Because what a difference year makes Mike Rob, right? year won a bunch of games in Mike McDonald's first season, but now your Super Bowl champs coming into your preseason opener. Yeah, absolutely. World champions, they can't believe it, but this team is going to have to get you. Does Bill Jones ever do, woo? Okay, maybe he hasn't had a reason to yet.

World champions, they can't believe it, but this team is going to have to get used to being hunted now. They have a target on their back. They've got to get used to playing 20 Super Bowls every single week. I like that. The opposing team is going to come in here like it's their Super Bowl. They've got to be ready for it. Okay.

Here we are as Brandon Aubrey will get the season going with the kickoff. Y'all ready for some football? We sure are. Kate, this feels like a regular season game. And with that kick, the Super Bowl title defense is underway here in Seattle. She's ear eating. She's definitely ear eating. I knew it wouldn't take long before she started saying,

Why is this? There's a championship defense in Seattle. No, this is my third out of three cuts. I have three for you, and I knew after number three, I didn't know you'd have it after two. But we were making fun of them for, like, talking about the atmosphere and everything. But you do confirm, like.

Oh, yeah. So it was game one, maybe, that's why. First preseason game, because it did look packed. Well, I mean, the last two Cowboys games I did was at Washington on Christmas and then the Giants in Week 17. this preseason game was way louder than either of those two. Those are division games at the end of the year. Yeah.

But this is the first game after winning the Super Bowl. The 12. And okay, so this is cut three, like I said. So we're coming back from break. Seattle had scored a touchdown, so now they're up 7-0. I did not, like, right after that touchdown, I wanted to tweet at Jake. Oh. Great defense.

defense, huh? But anyway, I did not. We held off. And here, so now we're coming back from break. We're up 7-0. Here we go. That is how you start. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Your term ear eating means... Well, when you're trying to talk, it just starts to sound like you might be trying to gnaw on your own earloom. Open your mouth. So you've got really opened out to a non-C8. We're here in Seattle, Looming Field. That is how you start your first preseason game after winning your second Super Bowl. Nine runs, four passes on that 13-play, 7-minute and 18-second drive. And for folks who don't know Montori Foster Jr.'s story, it is awesome. He was a part of training camp last year, and then he strained the hammie, and he got cut.

He went back to Cleveland where he's from. He was a substitute teacher at his high school. Shout out to St. Edward High School in Lakewood, which is just west of Cleveland. He got his real estate license. He was coaching up little kids in football. He was working out at a public gym, right? So he's working out, and this guy's like, hey, bro, what's going on? You play?

And he's like, yeah, man. Hey, bro. What is happening right now? I didn't like any of that. No, no, we got more. So the cadence, I don't know what she's going for here. Is this a, because when Mike Tariko will do a cadence like this, and I feel like he is ripping it right off.

from Al Michaels. And I feel like this is another level of it. This is like telling the story. It just feels that like that. But then we're also going to hey, bra, things. She sounded like Joey Zanabony to me. That's what it is. I told him when we got in the car this morning.

I was going to stay, right? Because I had been listening to her this morning. He was a substitute teacher at his high school. Shout out to St. Edward High School in Lakewood. Wait, okay. Let me let's break that down. So if I was to say that Blake was a substitute teacher at Bedford Junior High School, do I shout it?

Do I just say he was a substitute teacher at the, or do I shout out? Big ups. I like the second way is a lot more exciting. We're giving a high five to St. Edward High School. Blake. Lake. He got his real estate license. He was coaching up little kids in football.

He was working out at a public gym, right? So he's working out, and this guy's like, hey, bro, what's going on? You play? And he's like, yeah, man. All right. So have you been working out? And anybody's going, I can't handle this. Oh, okay, sorry.

Hey, bro, what's going on? You play? And he's like, yeah, man, I was on Seahawks and camp. Turns out the guy, Jake Dostow was a high school quarterback. He's like, he's like, he wants me to throw to you? Okay. You want me to throw is Jason Myers kicks off. Israel Abonaconda.

Is that Brady Russell? I'm sorry. I got excited. I got excited. I'm a all-such a team. Because Brady Russell was there. Come on, Brady. That's how you do it, full-back.

Let's go. Wow, man. This is the whole broadcast. That is a lot. That is a lot. Hey, bro. You play? I'm glad.

You play, bro. What's going on? You play? Can I give you a little from the Cowboys broadcast? Of course. All right. So we've got Isaiah Standback and Bill Jones. Clayton's good friend, Isaiah Standback.

What's that story? I don't really know. I think they were sharing chicken fingers at the Cowboy. Oh, okay. He's really, he's a good analyst. I don't know if he does stuff during the year he must, Blake. But I only see him on preseason. But it's not exactly the most, like, well-worn,

him and Bill, they only see each other a couple times a year. So the comedy doesn't always land. I'm always, by the way, the first teamers went over to your alma mater, Isaiah. University of Washington and got in a workout over there at the stadium. I heard you had 315 on the bar today, Bill. Number 35. Not much there, folks. All right.

Not much there. Odd. I thought this was interesting. This is for Blake. Had to pick up for a first down beating Shamar Jean-Charles again. This is when I think this is when Joe Milton just rifled one to Camden, like over the middle. He's the only guy in Madden with an NFL or 99 arm strength, Dan. Joe Milton?

Joe Milton? Yeah. Nuh. I think so. Yeah. Really? He's got a trick-shot cannon. Oh, okay.

So this is right after that. And a pickup for a first down beating Shamar Jean-Charles again. You know what we call that? We call that a cannon. Cannon. You're going to see right here, Milton does a good job sitting in the pocket, keeping his eyes down the field. And when he decides to cut this dog on rope.

I mean, that's obviously just for us. For those who don't know, there is a very famous hip-hop DJ, DJ Cannon. And there's something in rap songs where a DJ will put his producer tag. in a song. So it might be a little Wayne song, but if DJ Cannon made it, you would hear the tag, like Canon. Now, the Canon tag actually comes from Madden, NFL 2001, I want to say, where Pat Summerall was saying Rich Gannon's last name, and DJ Cannon cut that. Don Cannon's legendary producer tag. Have a few words with the- Canaan. Canaan. It comes from Madden, 2001?

Gannon Get set That is awesome Yeah I've been hearing that tag I only found out about the mad thing We just did a dissect Isaiah Stanback

The mad thing I only found out A couple years ago But you know Cannon Canon that's been in rap songs My whole life We call that We call that a Canon

Canon You're going to see right here Milton does a good job Sitting in the pocket keeping his eyes down the field I thought that was cool Now does Bill Jones have the cough button press

He's blinking. Oh, yeah, he's falling out. He's like, I don't know, I don't totally know what the genesis of these jokes are, but there's some copy that's very wordy. And I think your booth sometimes will start joking around over that. But the jokes just aren't really finishing. Back to you guys. All right.

Thanks, Nicole and Quinn. Dallas Cowboys Sightline Reports, presented by L-G-O-L-D-Evo. Choose Perfection. I mean, that is a, they've got to rework that product. letters. L-G-O-L-E-O-L-E-O-E-O-E-O-E-O-E-O-E-O. Presented by L-G-O-L-E-D-E-O. Choose perfection, choose LG.

Check out the best TV in the game at LG. What size LG do you have at the house, Bill? Punk time. Just lack of chemistry. Nothing. No chemistry. Nothing is landing. And to there, you know, I guess credit.

These are one-game things, right? Yeah, I think it would be very difficult. He doesn't work for with not, yeah, I don't know that I would say they would ever develop chemistry, actually, if you gave me the. But it'd be more of a chance if they were. Because next week it'll be like Babe or something, right? Yeah, Babe, you get a playmaker in there at some point. I wish. So stand back.

Great football insight. This is why you need him there, right? He's in the huddle. You weren't there. I wasn't there. He knows the advanced terminology. And one person that made that play possible for Marquis Bell, Malachi Lawrence. He did one heck of a job of getting in there and what we call forcing the linemen to go ahead and make a decision.

Kind of. Oh, wow. Geez, okay. I know you were more of a baseball guy, Blake, more of a basketball guy. Yeah. So the guy's coming this way. Uh-uh. No, sir.

We call that in the football world forcing. They're coming out of break here. It's Jaden Blue time, but they've got an ad read, Bill Jones. So how about tonight's Bank of America offensive featured player of the game? It's Jaden Blue. Bank of America, the official Bank of the Dallas Cowboys. What would you like the power to do? Bank of America, Jaden Blue.

Out of Texas. Okay, so some of that rhymed. Yeah. I don't know that it was like set up that way, but it sounded good. It was just like, okay, what would they do for you? It's Jaden Blue. What can he do? So there's about another 40 minutes of Bill analysis, and then Isaiah thought that was so good it needed a call.

Absolutely. Let me find out that you're rapping on the side of doing some play-by-play, Bill. You want to see what he can do with Jaden Blue. I see you. You're not slick. Loud in here and Sam Howe dumps it off. Nothing, just nothing. No.

No. He's trying. They're trying. I don't know if this is just the new media, but we used to have Mickey on the sideline. Now there is a woman she's here. She's lovely. Nicole Hutchinson.

Nicole. Here's how she, when they throw it down to her. He was a touchdown scoring machine. That's really both places. Let's get out of the sideline as the Cowboys take the lead 10-7 here to Nicole Hutchison for more. Hey man, we've seen catches like that through. Hey, man. Hey, man.

Yeah. Tell me if you think there was a misspeak. Well, they can't do initials with Bill Jones. Tell me you think there was a missus. Yeah, yeah, I guess that's the thing. Coach, it took a few series and finds him offensive rhythm, but Camden Brown able to find the end zone for you. of the clit late. Well, the end of the day, the penalties are killing us.

Started to what late? I don't know. Possibly clit. The LG thing was so funny. They called a PC. The LG jokes were so funny. We'll come back. All right.

Thanks to Nicole and Demo. Dallas Cowboys sideline reports presented by LG OLEDEvo. Choose perfection. Choose Isaiah. LG OLED Evo. Check out the best TV in the game at LG.com. Let's go, Bill Jones. You think I don't have an LG TV at home.

I got an LG washer. Yes, you do. Yeah, you got it from Isaiah Standback last summer. He gave it to you. Bill putting y'all up on game. By the way, how about Cable Johnson on the sideline that? Protecting Dimo. What are we?

Wait. I don't know. Okay. I don't know. I don't know what any of it's about. Neither does the audience. Like, it felt like Bill Jones was trying to... You know what?

I'm going to play. I would like to... I want to get involved. I got my suit on. I'll wait in here. Yeah. But just back and forth. No...

Is there some truth to that? Is that a joke or some kind that you gave me your washer? Like, what's... I don't know. All I know is that I now have... I like hearing him say Dimo. Oh, he loves it too. That's fun.

Yeah. Canon, you're going to see you right here. We call that a cannon, cannon. That's great. Good times on Blue Star Network. Also sponsoring our trip out here is the Parlay Collective. So Plumquick is our title sponsor. But we go to Parlay Collective.com, and that is where if you are a business,

they're for businesses, brands, founders, Jake. I mean, I guess you could do it solo. Like if you were a dude who was just like, I need more people to know about me. You can, creators. Yeah, I'm a brand. You're a brand, yeah. Don't like that.

If you need strategy and support across the full marketing process, Parlay Collective is for you. Parlay Collective.com. Audrey is our contact over there. She's the founder. Yeah. So she hires Parlay Collective for herself. They help build the foundation and then they manage execution across websites, blogs, newsletters, social media.

Blake, you love social media. Monetization? That sounds like prestige worldwide. Monetization! Because that means money. I feel like that's not a solid copy point for any business we're advertising. paid advertising partnerships and leaks them. They're great though.

We've used them for a couple of years now. Yeah. No, all you need to know about them is, you know how you generally think we don't have our stuff together? The only reason we kind of do is companies like Parley. Oh, yeah, they're great. They've helped us quite a bit. Yeah, so go to Parlay Collective.com and, yeah, ask what Jake's really like off the air, too, because they'll tell you that. I'm fairly confident in my rapport there.

Did you take anything away from the game, actually? Can we? It's preseason. We do this every year, right? What do we know? I guess your backup quarterback. Is there even a battle? Is it Joe Milton?

Why is Sam Howell here? He's time. To push him. I mean, and I thought they both played. They need a couple guys to play preseason games? Yeah. Because Joe Milton's the backup. I would think it's his to lose.

It looks like it. No, I mean, I don't think there's... Jaden Blue, I think, is interesting to everybody. I think I need him off my football team as quickly. because I can get him. Really? I don't want anybody to lose their job. I'm sure somebody else can pick him up.

That's just not an NFL player to me. They don't have, they don't, it's not totally his fault, but there's no place for gadget guys anymore. He doesn't seem like as crazy as I need him to be, to be an in-between-the-tackles running back. Like, look at Phil Mafa. I mean, that guy. Look at Malik Dave.

Like, these guys, they don't have to tell them to run hard. They don't have to convince them to, like, lay it on the line between. the tackles. I was telling TC the other night. You flip on any big 10 game at 11 a.m. on Saturday, I can find you three running backs that in between the third and fifth round will go bust their ass for you. And the guy they have from Iowa State might be one of them. I don't know how to properly say his name anymore, a Bautaconda.

Yeah, that's it. But it ain't Jaden Blue. Don't like it. Didn't like it in college. Tried to sell myself because they were drafting speed, but that's an area where some teams may be able to pull it off, but the flip side of everything we've been talking about with Caleb Downs and the safeties and the changes in defenses

is much harder to get a guy on the field who is a tell, you know, or is a gadget. You know what they're going to do if he's... Yeah, it just doesn't... I don't like it. I don't like it. I don't like... His vibe out here is very, like... It's kind of here.

That's what it was at Texas. Yeah. And then last year, yeah, there's all this. I mean, it was just that he couldn't get dressed. Yeah. They wouldn't even dress him for Sunday. They say he's getting it or whatever, but I don't know. There's the cleats thing.

Yeah. No, the Louis Vuitton cleats were not. Oh, something messed up. Gave him blisters. Messed up his foot, like right before the game. Yeah. Yeah, no, that's one of the things, though, is going to be a big deal coming into this year.

That's like, you know, it's like a trade. It's like a whatever you're going to get year two, Jaden Blue. That's going to be great. You won't believe it. At least that's what they were trying to sell us, like minicamp time. Yeah, I don't. And you're saying? I don't buy into that.

I think you do need another running back. Now, it might be one of the guys they have. It ain't him, but you've got to have another one. We saw it last year. Javante started to wear down last year. It's going to happen again. you've got to have another guy. You need the Vaughn Miller of the running back side,

like somebody who's chilling. How about Camden Brown? Um, I don't know. I feel like I'm a wet blanket here, and it's not like I have like... Two touchdowns, receiver? Trademark on ball knowledge here, but I'm not that impressed by a guy making a one-handed catch.

I see guys do that all the time in pregame. Yeah, there's a defender, but like they practice it yeah and then the other the touchdown he had where he's like the backside option that's a yolo ball that the defender kind of got lost on I know but he was thrown two balls in the end zone and he caught both of them I'm not against it that just to me is not what it takes to play receiver in the NFL now the best thing for him is I don't think they have anybody else who can't either they definitely have three guys Mingo might be your fours I was going to say after last or after Saturday night I would take him over Mingo yeah But who's your fourth? I mean, scantling is whatever. So I'm not that impressed by him making a one-handed catch

and being the recipient of some bad defense. But I still think they've been saying he's been great out here for weeks. So I just don't like when you see one or two flash plays from a guy. Because guess what? I've seen those from Jaden Blue. There'll be one or two. You're like, holy shit. But then consistency is the biggest thing.

And for backup receivers, consistency. They're not going to ask you to score touchdowns. How hard is it going to be for him to knock Mingo off the roster, though, with what they gave up for Mingo. Like, they act like Mingo was a first round pick, the way they're... Yeah, but I think they could probably keep both. They've been clinging to him. I don't know what the point of that is.

What, of clinging to Jonathan? Themingo? Yeah. You know what the point of it is. I guess Terp is your four nominally. Well, yeah, I mean, just to prove that the draft pick, but it's not like, you know. Our guys liked him when he was in the draft. They haven't had to.

Yeah, but then they had two more years of evidence to show that they should, that they actually made a mistake when they liked him in the draft. He's just free after this year. No, that was Carolina. Oh, no, they brought him back. Yeah. Oh, one year, right? Oh, really?

Mm-hmm. That's insane. It is insane. I mean, I like camp for stories like that guy. Hopefully he can make the team. But it gives me no insight into, like, how their season's going to go. Got an email from Tim who shared with me the Camden Brown Star Telegram story. Yeah, it's sad.

Well, he said, I don't want to be the A-ho here, but because Nick Harris had tweeted out, when Cowboys ride receiver Camden Brown took the field Saturday Night in Seattle, he did so with a heavy heart. and then there's a story about how his sister had died. It was five years ago. I'm just reading the email. People grieve differently. Tim says doesn't with a heavy heart make you think his mom or dad passed away this week

and he stayed at camp anyway. I think heavy heart probably could have been replaced. But I think that there is a reverse connection to how long you grieve, depending on how old or young the person is. If like a 70-year-old dies and you're sad a week later, you're gay. But if a two-year-old dies or a six-year-old... I feel like you get like 20 or 30 years of feeling potentially pretty messed up by it. Tim says five years ago, this is like college game day or the Olympics trying to sell us the drama of the trauma.

Which they will do. Yeah. But anyway, yeah. 17-7 win, big win. No, I like watching Malachi Lawrence. Yeah? Yeah, I mean, it's another guy that you kind of forget about that they have, and now they've got Vaughn Miller.

Oh, yeah, so I forgot. That's the big news today, Vaughn Miller. Why wouldn't you've just stuck with... Clowny? Yeah, Jadaevian Clowney last year. I know that... You're already in the building, you knew them. Initial concerns.

or thing with Von Miller, and I hate even using the terms 3, 4, and 4, 3, because nobody's going to have 3 and 4 out there, but Vaughn Miller much more suited to what they do here now. Clowny the other way.

Like, you think about where Von Miller's been, he's played for Van Gio guys. He's tailor-made for this. Okay. I don't know the difference, yeah. He's, uh, but I also think they've got a lot of guys. Like, as a Raku, which by the way, how do you feel about the number change? Don't like it.

Somebody else is wearing 41 now, though. That's somebody that's going to play. It was James Houston, right? James Houston, which I was laughing about that the other night. That's James Houston. I was thinking about that. I don't know. I'm a dork, but I imagine the conversations they have.

And like, definitely during the year at some point, Azaraku was like, I don't like this number. And James Houston's like, That is a great number. I'll take it if you can get something else. And then Donovan Wilson leaves. James Houston is not a six. Or excuse me, easy six now.

James Houston goes to 41. Sam Williams is probably going to get cut. Sam or Marist won. Because Marist is an edge now, and he still looked. Wow, Sam Williams going to get cut. Yeah, they just brought him back. On a one-year minimum. But either him or Marist are probably on the outside looking in here.

You got Roshan Gary. A bunch of guys. Now, the Von Miller thing that's interesting is, you know, he was suspended pretty recently. Royge? No. Dami Vi. Oh, no. Now, no charges.

Could have been a she made it up thing. Also, it could have been a he made it go away thing. But I just saw a bunch of tweets this morning. They're like, here's a clip of Von Miller talking about how he wants to be known as a Hall of Fame team. teammate and guy. And one of the reporters this morning is like, this is just more of Shotties. It's type of guy once.

You know, there was like two different times. Stop doing type of guy. You know, it's like when they traded Odigi Zua, you know, like that was the type of guy. That was, and then you just trade him. Also, you want good players. It's also possible to be a good teammate in the terms they use it and also be like a psychopath at home.

Well, yeah, sometimes that goes with it, right? Hard to turn off. If you want the edge, the crazy edge rusher. He wears a funny cowboy hat. He almost wants. Isn't that kind of silly? Is he a first ballot Hall of Famer? Certainly.

Yeah, I'd say so. He was the best in the league for a couple years, at least a couple years. But he has been suspended for Royds too, though, right? That's like one of the main differences. I just knew about the Yeah, the football or baseball thing Like if he Yeah, it doesn't really matter

Many Hall of Famers have been openly suspended for Roids and they're like, yeah, well Got me there I'm pretty sure I can come to Yeah, yeah, Von Miller Yeah, it was early But he's had a, yeah, a couple run-ins like that

I'm sure he hasn't used him again Now the real question is what number is he going to wear? We found out that he was wearing 24 in Washington, but 40. And I'm not about to, we in the Hunter Lipke delegation are not about to give that number up. Come on. For some day-tripper.

What was he in Denver, 58? Yeah. Who's got that? Don't know. All right, well, congrats to the Cowboys. They're 1-0. Probably their odds are, it's now not a good time to get in on that Super Bowl thing. They just beat the Super Bowl champs.

In theory, they're the best team in the NFL. This guy's ring chasing to join him. Yeah, he got Von Miller like, man. Shall we take a break, guys? Sure. Listen, I know a lot of nicknames. You know the Beast in Seattle, Marshawn Lynch, the sheriff, right, Peyton Manning. I nicknamed him the sheriff.

You know the master of disaster, Ray Lewis, the Minister of Defense, Reggie White. But you got the name. I want. That Johnny Football. I want that name Johnny Football. We can share it. Yeah. But was this play that justified that name?

You remember this play? Yes, sir. So I mean, you dip up in there. You do a 360. You're running to your left. What kind of throw is that? I think the throw is just get it there however it came out. To try and stop and keep getting hit by this guy and pulling up and slow myself down, that's the way it came out.

Yeah, but you know what happens? The guys like me that are watching games on Saturday? I pick up my cell phone. I call my friends. I said, did you just see John? Did you just see Johnny football, man? That's unbelievable. How the hell do you do that?

It's just how I've really played the game. Just maybe growing up watching too much Brett Farr, or too much Michael Vick, trying to mix them both together. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. So next week, unfortunately, we'll be back in DFW, if things work out like we think they will. But fortunately, we'll be at Conne Roso next Tuesday. the 25th of August

the one at the star in Frisco maybe the site of our first official remote that we invited the public to qualis roofing had us out but that was not an invite everybody to come see Qualis Roofing's offices no that was your mushroom sandwich day

that's right one mushroom on the whole sandwich and nothing else The Cowboys may be there that day. Not at Coni Roso, but across the street at the Star. There might be a few Cowboys trickling in to Coni Roso. Why not? They're leaving here this weekend, so.

So why not? Why not? Who knows? Will Dak be there? You'll have to go find out. Next Tuesday, the 25th. That's where we will be. We are here in Oxnard.

We're at Cowboys Camp. We're in a tent So practice for some reason Everything has been moved back To later in the day It will be lazy Sunday Maybe it was lazy Sunday You win you get to sleep in

So Yeah so There will be no practice And horns going off during our show Music Shottie will be here later And then I guess practice will break up Like what six something

our time, Dallas time, which I am living on. And we'll come back out here. This is how hard we're working out here, folks. We'll be back out here. Grinding. Slaving away in the hot California sun this afternoon. So part of my, I want to play you

quick something. Then we can do news or whatever you want. Your little news. After you. but this is kind of like the we talk about the New York Times has to speak in a certain prose or whatever

okay let's just say what's the analogy Donald Trump says he should stick it up his ass and then it would be like Mr. Trump suggested that the placement would go in the of the whatever, you know?

Right. So it's very, like, technical, and you're like, well, that's not all what he said. And a statement that some could take offensive about the consent required to touch a woman's genitals. But I guess it's just... And then, maybe that's not my analogy here. Maybe it's more of a... Who was your guy that said poo shiasty? David Centendery?

Yeah, it's... The news is covering culture they don't really deal with much. Having to say poo shiasty. I think we used to get this on the Channel 8 news. Like just whatever. Your buttoned up reporter has to talk about and then use names that are, it just doesn't feel like they should say those names. Anyway, so I'm listening to the podcast that I really love.

one of the few podcasts, if there's been any other ones that I've listened to twice, and it's the Dysect podcast on Kanye's beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy, which is perhaps the greatest album of all time, or at least perhaps the greatest album of all time of all albums I've listened to. How about that? And I love the Dysect podcast. like it just breaks down the songs and like actually this came from this and his lyric here came from it like it's just overly it's really really good and he'll just break down like some of the history of Kanye and then he'll pop out all of a sudden here's Kanye talking on a news program about something and then he'll play a thing of the song and see that refers to that or it'll be the he has the fish sticks thing in in one of his lyrics and they'll be like Then they'll play the clip of South Park.

And, well, this is how Kanye is responding to that. And what a brilliant move. But the guy doing Dysect is like that. He talks like he's from the New York Times. But then he'll have to say some words that sound funny. And this sounded especially funny to me when I was walking. So let's jump into the Kanye dissect. I was always rapping.

And it just so happened that really, really phenomenal rappers got the rap on my beats before I got a chance to. So that pushed me into the classification of a producer. Indeed, Kanye would continue to leverage his production to expose his demo to industry executives. He met with as many labels as he could, often jumping on top of the meeting table to perform over his beats. As he liked to recount later,

Kanye played for these labels Jesus Walks, the song that would eventually earn him a Grammy, and he still didn't get signed. In fact, Kanye was sometimes laughed at. rapper Hot Carl, who worked with Connie in the early 2000s. That's what I'm going with. It's just when NPR News guy then also references rapper Hot Carl. Jensen Karp, married to Panga.

Yeah, you don't know the whole backstory here? No. Blake's book. Jake still has my book. What's the bit? It's not good enough to reset every time it comes up, but... I want my book back. Hot Carl was a, like, a bit rapper.

white guy and he married Topanga from Boy Meets World and then later did a prank where he said he found a shrimp in his cinnamon toast crunch went super viral like early on when that was a thing you could do

yeah it's a prank I guess he wrote a book called Kanye West owes me $300 something like that he got his start he was like a battle rapper on a radio station, and that was his bit name, Hot Carl. And then he started making real songs.

And I think he was on the NBA Live 2003 soundtrack. What's the book that you're mad that Jake has? It's called Kanye West owes me $300. Oh, that's the one? I think they shared a cab or something, and Kanye said, I'll hit you back, and he never did. Again, it's not worth resetting every time, I think, is Jake's point. Yeah, also, I don't know. It's just, he's, uh,

Hot Carl's not a real rapper. That's why I'm struggling with this. It's just like, how to do I care enough to clear this up? I don't, really. Well, the guy on Dysect is quoting Hot Carl. And you know, he... And the industry's thoughts on Kanye at this time. Cole and White, I think if you looked up Cole Kushner, your image may shock you.

I just mean that whatever, his delivery, it sounds like he's an NPR reporter. For sure. He sounds like he's the New York Times talking. And then when he says, is he not white? No, he's like something, something weird. Okay. Well, it's fantastic. Whatever he does, it's a great job.

Are we doing news? I can get my internet to get on track here. Oh, so it's brought to us by Pancho, I believe. Rock the Pancho out at, is he? No, no, he's like Hawaiian. or something. Something weird. That looks pretty white.

But race is a construct. Pancho was great for the Dodger game yesterday because you might be sweating out there a little bit. But it came in super, super handy, and nobody knew that I was drenched because the poncho hides it, and it's wicking away. It's got UPF 50 in it right there for you. Pancho Outdoors.com slash dumbzone. That's how you get the 10 bucks off.

You good. Did you wear a poncho in the radio booth for the Cowboys? I didn't, but I have one packed. That's my Cardinals game attire. Oh, okay, great. Get 10 bucks off and free shipping on that first order. Poncho outdoors.com slash dumbzone. They have a bunch of very, very cool college football shirts.

So whatever your team is, they've got something nice that you can wear to the game without, again, being drenched. Panchooutdoors.com slash dumbzone. Can I weave in a Dodgers stadium note? Uh-oh. Sorry. I'm sorry. That's me?

That's my bad. It's part of the news. Maybe making the news? Okay. Here's Jake with the Dumb Zone News. News, news, news, news, news, news. Just Jake talking about sweating at the game made me remember. I guess, if I'm to understand correctly, and I would love if the audience knows more about this to tell me,

there's like an LA Times interactive feature where you can plug in which game and it'll tell you where the shade is going to be and the seats in the shade were nearly sold out and the seats not in the shade were sparsely populated. I've never seen a game where so much everyone was making the decision based on whether or not it was going to be in the sun.

It was an amazing thing to see. It's got to be a 10 degree difference too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, it's a huge, like in Texas, it's not that big of a difference. The shade of the sun. But here it is. No, and I need to look at the L.A. Times thing he was referencing. But he was like, yeah, it'll do it by time and show you, like, exactly, you know.

Right, where to sit. Yeah, yeah. Like, they could have made one of those for the Cowboys. That's what probably Shottie looks at before a game, right? That's right. Third quarter. Yeah. Where do we want to be?

Where do we throw the ball? All that kind of stuff. A 37-year-old woman was killed over the weekend back at home. Middle of the night, Saturday night, Sunday morning in Plano. She was trying to run across 121. Used to see people do this every now and then on 30. You're like 30's a big one. 30 is one they love you.

It's straight. Saw a guy run across 75 the other day. It's insane, dude. insane. It must be a thrill. I bet it's such a thrill. Dwayne Haskins? I was just looking for the Gilbrand.

Yeah. Yeah. Got to know the young man a little bit, but else? No, if you... Go ahead. Well, you know, Dan. I'm kind of surprised they don't have a bigger problem with it out here. That was part of Tim Dillon's Olympics bit was

had an event of running across the 405 with. a dog. Yeah. So the homeless could have their own event to compete in. Like they'd do it well. Let's see everyone else try.

So alcohol, a player in this situation? Well, it says that there was a... You don't get many often... So a car had stopped. This woman was driving a car. Oh. And stopped.

Got out of the car and tried to run across the freeway. So while alcohol not mentioned, it is late on a weekend night. died at the scene. Talked last week about the foot washing stations that were going to be added to DFW

airport, paid for, I believe, by private donation. These stations already exist like at Houston Hobby, and I think at Love Field. But because of the internet, well they do right now, Greg Abbott says,

hey, I didn't know about those. because everyone's like, so Greg Abbott has come forward and said, we're not putting the foot washing station to DFW. Violates religious law. Even though it doesn't say like it's only for Muslim people. Yeah. Trust me, I would be using this the first chance I get.

But, uh, so he says, hey, we're not doing it. And then, uh, everyone's like, we already have these at the other airports in Texas. He's like, bet I'll shut that shit down too. I didn't know about the. Oh, really? Yeah.

Why is he so pro dirty feet? What's big dirty feet? Do they just have a... Is there a foot sanitizer thing, like the hand sanitizer? Yeah, there you go. Can you just do that instead? I mean, I've seen these before, but you can see. It's like a faucet on the ground, and there's like a basin below it.

It just drains through there. Yeah, and can't you easily just walk by and ignore it? You could. But that isn't going to get you votes. He says that the facility. single out one subset of the population for special treatment based on religion. So I guess it's kind of like if they're going to do that, they should ask us what sort of cool stuff that we like as Christians. And for me, it's soft serve.

I wish they would put that in the bathroom. In the bathroom. On the way out, you feel refreshed. What about in a totally different part of the airport? Well, if I've got to match this washing thing. So that's what we're doing. We're removing them now. Okay.

From the other ones. And we're making them all unisex bathrooms? That's the goal. We had a guy using several aliases and disguises get popped. I don't like that term, but arrested over the weekend for a series of child sex abuse cases. Well, we do like that. We like the arrest. I was going to say, I was thinking we don't like that.

We don't like part of it. What are you saying? You like that they got the guy. You'd like that the crime never. That would have been preferable, yeah. So this has been a couple years of investigation. And the dude was using an alias living in Oklahoma. And the alias was Jordan Hill.

His name was James Nona. I want to have an alias one day. I don't want it to be for running to Oklahoma for touching a kid. This is an odd time to bring it up, but yeah, okay. In Louisiana, he used the names Dusty Crawford and Trevor Crawl. That was pretty good. Trevor Craw. Yeah.

Conan used to do Chet Whitley or something on his show. It just sounded, because Conan's not, I mean, it's a, it could be a cool name. It's kind of a dorky name. What was your name going to be? Chappi got to name you? I think Rock. Your rock, yeah. Was Brutus your brother?

Yeah. Okay. That was the other proposed. I don't remember if I was one or the other, but neither one would have fit. Or if they would have called you Rocky. You know, you're a kid, Rocky. Probably. I knew a Rocky growing up.

Do you think you'd be different? I think at some point, you know, my. bone mass and muscles are what they are. I think that probably would have been... Yeah, but you don't know that for sure. It might have been different if your name was different. Your mass might have grown differently. Like if you switch from James the Bill, I don't know that changes your life.

If you change your name to Rock, anyone, I'm not saying like you're going to be stronger, but your life's going to be different if you name Rock. It's going to be worse because people are going to expecting you to be like... It might be worse, but it's going to be different. This is a very uniquely Texas story. Just right before school started, out in Northwest ISD, they filed a lawsuit against the gun range down the street. The lawsuit seeks to limit the type of bullets they can fire at the gun range near the school because the school says the bullets keep hitting the school. Oh.

Wow. And they're like, hey, you guys are pretty far. I feel like there's other types of bullets you could be using. Look, I know we can't, this is Texas. We could try to get this gun range shut down. Keep shooting, of course. But let's just use different bullets. Says it's about a mile and a half away.

You don't give an inch, though, if you're on the bullet side, right? That's been the plan typically. Next thing you know, they'll marry the toasters. Earlier this year, they found a bullet. lodged in an exterior wall the south facade of the school and a month later in July when there were students there one of them

struck the exterior glass of the school. They said they've attempted to find an agreement for safety improvements with the owner but the owner has thus far been unable to agree. You're going to have to station more cops outside

the school. I just have a battle. With vests, yeah. Just have a battle. I mean, don't know enough about guns, but... You know, I think that's probably the first thing whenever I did interface with, like, a deer rifle for the first time, was like, I don't know that the average person realizes how far you can be from somebody and, like, precision kill them.

Like, you're talking basically a mile. Like, close to it. How close? How far would you have to be? Like, what's a 308? Like, a third of a mile? What's a mile? 5,000 to. But, you know, I would just think you think you're a mile away.

The gun range is probably not that big of a problem. Clayton's AR-15 felt to me like it could do anything. Anything. So, that's where we are on that, the gun range. Where is it? This one's in North. I think it's called Northwest ISD, but it's in North Lake. Yeah, it's over by Argyll.

It's by, uh, bearer. Maryland. Ah, okay. Okay. Down in Princeton, which is a Houston way, I believe. There was a... I thought Princeton was like North of the time. Okay, Colin County.

Yeah. Is this the dog? Is this the guy again? What guy? I thought we had like a sexual assault of a family member in Princeton. But you're right. We did do a Princeton story recently. This is a Colin County Sheriff's deputies serving a warrant.

to make an arrest. And two doors down, there was a neighbor with a dog. And their dog got out. And one of the police cars hit it and killed it. This is actually related to that story, Blake. I didn't read the end of it. So they're serving the warrant. Oh, okay.

For the family. I was wondering why this was. was a story. Yeah. They're serving the warrant. Are we victim blaming? In the scene, they offered, it's funny too, because the stories, the statements in here, they offered condolences.

Oh, okay. We wish to convey our condolences to the dog's owner and family of the boss of their little companion. I was hoping they'd say the dog's name. Oh, crap. No. Sorry, I hit that dog. Didn't put scooter in here.

That is a crazy thing that I've heard from people before, like that if you get, friend of a friend not anybody I would associate with but like if you get raided if you have a dog the dog is running away they're not like that's the lucky outcome

they could run the dog over they could shoot the dog because a lot of times they're ripping your door off yeah and then you're just like left there with you know

so out of abundance of caution they're just going to shoot the dog just in case they'll shoot some dogs my little toy poodle they would shoot that I think they've done worse for less, probably.

You know what I mean? It's interesting. Did you guys hear the latest Brunigs? Not yet. I think Kittenface was from Princeton. He has a great dog story. Should I spoil it for you? Yeah, I don't mind.

Yeah, that's fine. It's good for our show. I bet our listening audience would love it. Just because you always talk about dogs and just the service dogs especially and everything. So he said he was on a flight, and the flight was delayed, and they couldn't figure out why.

And a guy just stands up and starts talking, addressing the plane, but not one of the plane personnel. It's just a civilian. And he got out of his phone to start recording as fast as he could. And so the guy is like, hey, everybody, it's not the dog's fault. It's not the dog's fault. In fact, so then... He's putting this together. So apparently this dog had like a service dog vest on.

He had seen it when he was walking onto the plane. And it was in the very front row. And the dog diarrheaed all over the floor. Oh, no. Oh, my God. But it wasn't in the aisle. But so. You got to take everyone off.

So this guy is like, it's not the dog's fault. And he goes, as a matter of fact, this dog is a war hero this dog served in iraq it's too long ago war for a dog matt grim do you feel like this dog is a fellow war hero to you hold on then this is not the the plane burst out into applause somebody puts lee greenwood on a beats pill yeah like like so now we're applauding the dog who has delayed this flight. Because it's shit everywhere.

Because it's shit everywhere. He thinks maybe he misspoke the Iraq because he meant Iran. Maybe? It doesn't matter. But it doesn't matter. They were having trouble finding enough cleaning solutions or whatever. They ended up having to deplane everybody off the plane and reboard on. on another plane and just because there was some poop, dog poop.

Like, could you imagine? You're just because? What are you talking about? Your dog poop? What do you mean? I'm not flying on a dog diarrhea plane. I think. How about you just take the dog off, clean it up as because you can.

We're all already on the plane. I don't know. I'd want to know what the outcome's going to be. I want a fresh one. Yeah. You want a fresh plane. I think you got to, dude. I think you're going to be smelling shit for the next three hours.

Once it goes vertical as it's climbing up. Like you didn't get a little bit of it starts coming to my seat. Absolutely not. That's dog shit too, man. We've got to go, though. That's dog poop. And that wasn't even part of his conversation. His was all about the fact that it burst into applause,

and then as they're applauding and he's holding his phone, you know? Yeah. Like, he hears a lady. Like, out of nowhere, yes, but she remarks to somebody next to her, she goes, he saved thousands of lives in Afghanistan. Those are wildly different places. Somehow, yes, so he said, the guy said Iraq. He thinks he meant Iran.

And then she then said, like, just threw in an extra fun fact, which she could have not had any previous. She doesn't know anything. She just learned about the dog three seconds prior, but was so overwhelmed with the emotion of hearing that it was a military hero. And we are, you know, our society is programmed to. Thousands. Thousands. So when you think about the whole... I'm not saying it's impossible, but how would that work?

It's an incredible... Broad, broad application, that's how. Yeah, but... But can you imagine bursting into applause when you hear that the dog was in Afghanistan or wherever it was. But it's also the dichotomy of the... It's also the reason that we're sitting here and we're upset that the flight hasn't taken up. Yeah, I'm booing the dog.

But somehow, though, it wasn't the dog's on the floor. The guy wanted to assure you. That's a great bit, though, because any dog that's going to be in that situation could have been a war hero. And so any time that dog acts up. If it just flew over there, it's a hero, automatically? You don't know. All he had to do is say it. All he had to do is say it.

He also not the first time he's called this play. Yes, he snaps at a little, dude, I'm sorry. He's not a bad dog. He just was under a lot of stress saving thousands of people and pick wherever you think the wars are. like also it doesn't inspire confidence that we've learned anything from the whole like iraq thing that that lady still thinks Afghanistan and Iraq are the exact same thing in any case I got enough to save thousands of lives in Afghanistan but he shits because he's airplane yeah I like I prefer my heroes to be able to hold their bells

I don't think people applaud a person yeah they might not who yeah die a homeless also how many of them did you torture right right yeah yeah yeah A cop stands up. He's like, I'm a cop. And everybody's like, oh, how many of them did you beat? How many of you pig? Defund. Police dog stands up and it's like, where are the flowers?

Is there a high percentage of homeless people who have also served in the military? There's plenty of them that exist. Right, higher than general percentage? And some of those. We'll poop on the street. Right. We'll poop like on a sidewalk in front of you. If though you see that he's wearing, you know, is whatever a military.

Yeah. I was in the Balkans. You're like, oh, all, right. All right. I'll clean that up for you here. I got the doggy bag. Let me go get a fresh sidewalk. Yeah. But you would imagine it's stolen valor.

Like, I would you get that at Ross? But then you just take this person's words that this dog saved half of America. Again, the guy didn't say that. The guy just said he was a war hero. Now you had to, in your head, in this old lady's head, yeah, but he's saying whatever happens after that, he's responsible for. You want to assume the best, whether it's a dog, with a person, you're like, yeah, yeah, right. Why do we want to assume the best for a dog?

That's what I'm saying. I wouldn't... There's an innocence to it. I'm not applauding this dog. It just delayed my timeline. Oh, so you don't like the military. Okay, interesting. Show me the papers.

This is very good because I'm closing with a dog story. A Fort Worth man was charged with animal cruelty over the weekend for shooting his neighbor's dog. Now, this is a situation... What was the dog's history? What was he wearing? The back story here, uh, just barked a lot and it was pretty loud.

The dog, I have a neighbor like that. The neighbor's dog had killed two of the suspect's chickens. I was going to say that jokingly. Yeah. You've taken... This hits close to home.

Yeah, are you going to change some behaviors? Quite close. Don't you have a chicken killing dog? I do. But you kind of want them to shoot your dog. It's a great story. Wow, interesting. I am very

I'm not worried I'm not worried about anything Hey look this could work out good Let him out I think there's a good chance That our first segment Monday When we get back Is me telling you guys

My dog is dead I feel like she knows She's got four or five days To get this done Like she was asking me last night About the pool fence And I'm like yeah I know why You don't want the pool fence back up

This A dog might just stumble in there No but our dog is going way too strong, still murdering chickens in the neighborhood. No one has shot her yet, but that's what happened here. Suspect saw the dog in his yard, told police he injured the dog and, quote, tossed it back into his neighbor's yard. Damn.

Yeah. Animal control responds, takes the dog, takes the chicken. Dude gets charged with terroristic threat and cruelty to a... Domestic animal? Non-lifestock animal. You need to remember. This is our key distinction. That's right.

All right. And there, my friends, is your news. The Dumb Zone News. Like and subscribe. Happy birthday. Thank you. That was a great job. Yeah.

Yeah, this Cole Kushner guy is just, he's white. He's just so weird looking. I assumed he was, like, Japanese. He is a very Japanese-looking white. I honestly. thought that there's something else going on here. So our viewer mail birthday is brought to us by Lola Blankets Today. Oh, man.

I'm a big fella, tall-wise anyways, and like, blanket that will cover my whole body has always been a problem. But the Lola blanket is huge. They looked at blankets and were like, why don't we just make these fucking things bigger? It's pretty simple. They're super soft.

Super soft. It's the most comfortable blanket I've ever owned. Family loves it. Like Dan said, great for gift giving. So be a gift giver. Go to loablankets.com. Use promo code dumbzone. Make sure you tell them it was the dumb zone that sent you.

Can he please help wish my husband Jason a happy 40th birthday? I have no idea who his leaders are, but Jake, I know he'd love if you'd rate our kids' names. Maxwell Elliott and Annie May.

Annie May, very good. Maxwell Elliott, pretty good. Could be so much worse. Could be a lot worse. Maxwell does have that air of, like, could be a snotty shithead. Call him Max and he's fine. I also love the name Elliot. Because you're a long-time UT guy.

She says, Happy Birthday, Jay Money. We love you from Kelly. Your wife called you. Every time you walk the, Jay Spot. What's blowing up? You did? I got boss man at the weed store.

Oh, that is a tough spot for it. That's where they'll do it. Ever than in there is a boss man. Yeah, you're stuck there. And I'm not leaving. They've got me. That guy could have done anything. I didn't like that guy.

He was the Joey Zamboni of whatever. Hey, come over here and check out this, Divas. In fact, because Matt went in there too. And then Matt's like, yeah, I'll take this. He's like, good choice, my friend. Yeah. Not to do Tim Dillon's whole set. I don't like to have good choice, my friend.

He had a whole bit on. Because it's like that, especially where the, Comedy stores is, you know, that area is very gay and happy and friendly and everybody. I walked into a place, coffee shop, and they're like, hey, what are we? Hey. He's just, you know, just leave me alone. He's like, I just started telling people by walking a hotel, they're like, hi, you're here to party?

I'm here to identify the remains of my oldest daughter. Shut people down. Stop. All right. You should probably try this. Indicolor. That's your. Buy one, get seven.

Here's a pick me up. Yeah, Cheech's bread. Hello, Daniel. Yesterday was my Michael Irving at the University of Miami birthday, 47. I've been listening for a long time, blah, blah, blah. I've had a lot of inspiration from you guys through your ventures out on your own. So much so that when I was laid off shortly after your lawsuit settled, I knew I could make it. Oh, whoa.

A little too much tip on the chip there. A lot of pressure. Fast forward three years, over a thousand job applications. I got my first job offer last week. Nice. There you go. Everything's coming up. It was rescinded the next day.

All right. God bless. I'm learning that no one wants to hire a middle-aged white autistic male these days, but maybe that's just me. Yeah. However, I have new inspiration. If T.C. can be hanging out with CEOs and going to the Hall of Fame game, that gives me hope that there can be a future for anyone.

My leader is Blake's wife as she has mastered the way out of parenting every weekend, which is a true first down. Damn, I hadn't considered that. That is from Aaron. Yeah. A-A-R-O-N. That's so true. We think of him as the master, but he's a step below her.

Boy, she gets schooled her in the week and all that, balsh. Yeah. Damn. And Dearest Daniel, today is my John Kanchar birthday. Is that a name? Anybody knows? Hockey? Hockey? Doesn't sound familiar to me.

How did he spell it? K-O-N-C-H-A-R. And I'm having to send this email in on my behalf, because I'm married! And she doesn't care anymore. I should have known this name. My heroes are any spare middle-aged man that lets you know they enjoy craft beers and make their whole persona

about them. Congrats. And any adult male that attends a high school prom with their barely legal girlfriend. Boy, it feels like he's targeting one individual and specific. Two seem connected.

call, Dan, at 972-449-9-9456. Okay, so today is Monday, August 17th. Do you think Von Miller will be here today? Because it's sleepy at camp right now,

but this is going to be a a very loud full day. They're having like a whole thing. Maybe that's why they postponed practice. Let them get there. Get Vons some reps. Yeah. Do we have to review our let-off in that thing?

We're going to keep referencing it at some point, Blake. There will be plenty of time for that. Okay. Do you think he's ever been to Voms? Great question. It was pretty, so they had to make room for him. Do you know who they cut? Oh.

The guy who tried to pick up the punt. At the two-yard line? Oh, yeah. I'd flipped it off. That's a pretty big kid. He makes one big mistake. Okay, that's it. See ya.

You got to regret that. So Monday, August 17th. This day in 1933, Lou Gehrig plays in his 1,308th consecutive game to break whose record. You don't know it. His name is Everett Scott. I was about to... He was the previous Luke Erick.

On this day in 1957, Richie Ashburn is a player for the Philadelphia. I'm guessing Phillies, but I don't know. Were they the A's back then? It was 1957. Says here he's known for his ability to foul pitches off. Okay. He hits a spectator named Alice Roth, and she breaks her nose. Ooh.

So he's still at bat. He sees a ball, he flows another one. And then they get medical people out there, and they're carrying her away. And he hits another foul ball and it hits her again. Kids from South Park, it's incredible. By the way, didn't come away with anything, but I know where if you want to catch a foul ball to sit. At least at that stadium.

Dude, we had. They're flying at us. because I'm not a baseball guy, but I think left-handed guy throwing super hard to right-handed hitter. I feel like half the foul balls were coming our way. Yeah. Like to behind the home plate and to the right but up.

And they were like right at us, right at us, right at us. We saw two or three people end up with like Otani foul balls. It seems easier to catch there. So you're saying if the Soroy's ever do the payoff, they might want to get those seats. They're available. A lot of foul balls. A lot more than home runs.

I would throw a foul ball away. I only want a home run. Throw it back. People are like, why? Okay. Throw a foul ball back on the field. Dude, that was my dream as a little kid. Oh, I know it was.

I wanted to catch it up first. Opposing teams home run and throw it back. Dude, we saw, okay, so the way that it works, and maybe it's like this at a lot of ballparks. But if a ball goes up to the upper deck and nobody gets it, it's going to bounce down. but the people in the lower deck are no longer looking for the ball. So we saw that happen a couple times where ball comes off the upper deck, hits someone on the lower deck. Another time we saw one coming from the upper deck,

and a dude stood up to try to get it and fell back, like two rows. So you're standing up in front of your seat, and you fall back. The first thing it hits is you're back, just hitting that chair, and then he just rolled over, like into the next row. down the whole section oh he's like I'm okay I'm okay there's a lot a guy brought a glove and snagged one it looked like a real smart move to bring the glove first time I arm up you know the glove right to the glove take great job guy nice on this day in 2008 Josh Hamilton becomes the sixth major league player to be intentionally walked with

the bases loaded it was the raise They were winning 7 to 4. Excuse me, they were winning 7 to 3. Base is loaded. Josh Hamilton is up in the 9th. And Joe Madden walks. In the 9th, I think I'd consider it. Yeah.

So you're up by 4. Josh Hamilton is up with the bases loaded. Why not? Because Ken's or someone's just going to ground to do a double play on the next bet. Probably whatever. happened. And on this day, oh, two more notes.

2014, the Phoenix Mercury set a WNBA record with their what win. Of course, you know how many games they play in a season. 82.

I believe they play, according to what I'm looking at here, 34 games for a whole year. I know. So they won their 20th? They're 29th. Okay. 29th.

What a squad. I'll always remember that squad. I know. You remember the Los Angeles team, whatever their nickname was, and the year 2000, went 28 and 4. Wait,

apparently there was only 32 games then, and they were like, you know what? The fan demand is here. Two more games. We need two more games on this game. Dude, we were watching the fever yesterday, bro. Yeah? Pretty exciting.

It was actually. You got fever, fever? So is Caitlin Clark against Angel Reese's team, which is now? She's been traded to the ace. No. Is there a Louisiana team? I have no idea. The Atlanta.

Dream. Dream. Dream. So it's back and forth, but it's a tight game. It's a tie game. There's like a three missed. rebound, there's two seconds on the clock, Angel Reese right below the basket.

Yeah. And it's just like the memes. Yeah. It's just like the guys that do the fake Angel Reese. Me-bound. Just throws it up and misses, it's just the easiest shot ever for the win. Misses it, and Indiana goes on to win in overtime.

Yeah. Enos Canter can't do that. It's not a good day for Canter. I've. Those plays I saw from that game yesterday, I'm like, all right. It feels like MVP might be more. Marlon Byrd struck out the next bet. Yeah, that makes that.

The game, by the world. My guess was Michael Young. Marlon Bird. Marlon Bird was hitting fifth that day. And one famous wedding on this date, the president of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe. Hell yeah. Free Mugabe.

In 1996 got married. 72. Now, in Zimbabwe, they probably don't. 63? 19. In Zimbabwe, they probably don't what? Because whatever they do anywhere else, let me tell you something. They do 10 times more there.

Was she eight? She was 31. Okay. Oh, that's fine. 41 year. In fact, Jake, today, we will head down to the local hospital, and you can go pick out your Mugabe baby. I feel like anyone getting married at 30.

Like, I don't care what, the size of the gap, once you're a 30-year-old woman, you know what you're doing. Like, no one's tricking you. Yeah, no. It's not like you're a... But right now, you can put a tag on it. 41 years from now. Glipper ear. Wait, not 41 years from now.

31 years from now, you're allowed to marry her. Right, I can meet her today. Can you wait? Yeah. That's right. That's the trick, yeah. So today is Monday. It's October, excuse me.

I got none of that stuff, right? It is Monday. It's also today. Let me just throw it to, this is Blake for today in Dumb Zone history. We just have one thing from the show in 2020. And remember, there's no training camp, not sure what the NFL is going to look like. So today on this day, we decided to call Lubliana. Because I think the Mavs and the Clippers were about to start in the bubble.

and this is when Dan got to talk to Lubliana Lucy. Okay. At the bar? Yeah. I had serious designs of going to that place. It was featured on an episode of Restaurants on the Edge of the Earth. And it was like, this is where he lives. I bet he's been here.

This town, I started researching it. We had looked at Airbnb's. It was not a hard sell to the wife because it's amazing and it's cheap. And she was like, yeah, fuck, whatever. We'll pop it on. we'll take a trip and we'll spend a few days in Lubljana. But you didn't? No, probably never will.

But what if? Oh, wait, why? Because it was... I don't know. I mean, it feels weird now. Luke we got... It's his hometown. It's very, like, small.

But it's a beautiful, beautiful place. Dude, last night, I'm at the game. I'm just in the heaven at a Dodgers game. Like, I'm... You know, I feel a little connection with Scoobel, just a hard... throwing tall guy, you know. So I'm watching every pitch up there.

I'm locked in. What do I see in the outfield? Fans join us next week for our commemorative Luca Dodgich Bumblehead Night. And they put it up on screen, and I'm like, fuck from this. That might have been the longest I'd gone without thinking about it. It was like a whole day.

Out here. It had been at least since the morning before. Whole day. And I'm like, oh, God, no. You ever want to go visit Wersburg? Yeah. No, I mean, when Cash and our buddy Fitz went over there and made the movie. But that's a farm town, though.

Like, I don't know how much. Yeah, Lubliana is like a really cool little hip place. Dude, what if he comes back? He's like 35. He's learned a lot. He's got all the tricks under his belt. I'll swear. Christian Leitner is 57.

He was once on the Mavs. Which makes all the sense in the world. John Gruden is 63. I like that. There you go. Doesn't know how to sing happy birthday. What was that? Was it Mike Mayock's birthday?

Yeah. He just doesn't know the tune. And he's not doing like the black one. What? Okay, see if you can find it. Cam Little is 23. He's our nemesis. He is the Jacksonville kicker

has the longest field goal in NFL history. Oh, okay, okay. Oh, fuck that guy. That's right. He's in my crosshairs, bro. I thought Brandon was going to be hanging out the house the whole time. Not this year.

That's every other year. You're surprised? Are you looking for it? Yeah. I have a bunch of Gruden stuff here. Play all of it. Can you know what? Dustin Padrella is.

43. Remember for a while we were going to use this bit? We have a chance to be one hell of the big story this year, man, if we put our heart and soul into this football team. Knock on wood if you have that message, please. And we're here to help you. All right, we're here to help you. That was the deal as they would all. That doesn't make any sense. Why would you knock on wood for that? You would just knock any time. It's like an acknowledgement. Jorge Posada is 56. Core 4. No batting He would piss on his hands. Is that right?

Yeah, that's Moises Allu. Somebody did it. Tieri-on-Ree is 49. One of the greatest of all time. He almost made me like soccer. He's a fun guy. Ed McCaffrey is 58, Jake. Oh, buddy.

So Ted Imrich, our good friend, was vacationing in Colorado this summer. Oh, my. It's play-by-play guy, right, bro. I see that contract. And Ed McCaffrey has like a mustard or something. Okay. But there's a couple different like flavors of it.

And I swear to you, they're like ethnically, like it has Ed McCaffrey's face on it. But the one that's like Habanero, he has like a ninja. I'm telling you, it's like dressed up. And it made me think that maybe that's a dumb zone branding opportunity. Mustard? No, but like making us look seasonally inappropriate. Let me see if I can find one for you here. I thought you're still looking for Gurd?

Like having a sombrero version of the Dumb Zone. That's what it is, yeah. That'd be nice. I'd like that. Yeah, that's what they have. They have a Chipotle one where he has a huge sombrero on. Here's the one that's Saracha where he has devil horns on. Seriously, dude.

It's just his face on the bottle. This is great. And they put different goofy shit. I can't find the Mayock thing. That's going to be a Blake deal. I have this. Is this going to? Once again.

That'll have it. Oh, okay. Play it. Let's see. What if I do this? Before we do anything, I'd like to sing happy birthday to Mike Mayock. You guys ready? Happy birthday to you.

So he's in the neighborhood. Man, I feel like if you hear the longer one, he's not. He's in the neighborhood and that he has the same words. That's got to be from the hard knocks, right? It is, yeah. We have a ton from it. Yeah, how could you not? But we'll figure it out.

Cam Little. John, where was a? Antoine Randall L is 47. Damn. Do you know he can throw? He got to play or he got to call plays for the second half. Saw that. Browns, yeah. Ben Johnson said the man's got a future.

Jim Courier was 56. He was a rival for Andre Agassi. Jake, Julian Fellows is 75. What are you doing tonight? Watching season three of Frazier. That's the creator of Downton Abbey. Ah, he was there. He was definitely there. Austin Butler is 35. He forgot how to talk not like Elvis, right? He's a star.

Didn't he learn the Elvis accent? It was like, well, I'll just talk like this now. Sean Penn is 66. You may know him as Spacoli. Didn't he go full R in the movie? I have a son. Yeah. You have a go.

Donnie Wahlberg is 56. So great. He's in that. cop show. Megan loves that a cop show. Oh, yeah. That one's on regular TV. Yeah, it's on CBS.

Blue Bob Family. He's getting checks. Juliana Ranchich, Rancic is 52. You've seen her on Fashion Police with Joan Rivers. I bet I have it. Someone has.

I don't know if she would always do Bits Stole My Look, but it was one of the best bits on that show. Norman Chad is 68. Writer. Alex Honnold. is 41. Oh, hell yeah.

Rock climber? He, uh... Few people dominate their sport like Alex Holland. Oh, his wife was there, right? Yeah. Well, he's doing the climb of the tower in China. They're like, there's nothing he wanted more than to have the support. You know, the brave one is actually...

It's tough for Alex, but imagine what she's going through. Right, right. The real hero over there. I like Alex Honnold because he kind of looks like a monkey, and I like to be able to diversify it. Yeah. You like to say that about a human? Julia Roberts.

Hey. There's a great documentary recently on HBO called The Dark Wizard, where Honnold's kind of the villain. Yeah, there's another guy, right. Yeah. Yeah. It's an awesome documentary. Belinda Carlisle, 68.

Carlisle. Carlisle, she's from the Go-Go's. Kevin Rowland is 73. He's from Dexie's Midnight Runners. Does that come on Eileen? It is. All over. No one at all says it like that.

What? Rapper... Rapper birthdays. Little Pump is 26. I'm sure I should know that one. As I recall... I think he died around the same time as Peep. Well, he's alive.

He's alive, okay. The Trump, right? Yeah. The reason you know him maybe around Pete. It's so good. When Pete died, my daughter said it wasn't a big deal. because little pump is where it's at. Ah.

So she got over the peep death pretty quickly. Did you see Trump Pee-Wee Herman today? No. Go on. I thought I could find it. Trump Pee-Wee-Herman. What does that mean? He was getting grilled about something,

and to make fun of the reporter, he said something about Pee-We-Herman. Did they have like a little bow-tie-hirtire? Larry Ellison is 82. What do you know about him? I know that he has a lot of money Super rich guy He gave the land to the Warriors

To build that arena I'm pretty sure Oh really? Yeah That's why it's Oracle Yeah I see here you go I guess I'm sorry John Ossup

Say if you'd rather travel with your aid Natalie Hart and build the ballroom than do your job as president What is your response? John Ossup You mean Pee Wee Herman? Ha

Pee We Herman look alike No I would much rather John Aosop does kind of look like Pee We're building a great facility. Is that a bad thing? We're fixing the White House. He's saying John Osoff looks like Pee Weirman, although John Ossoff is kind of a snack, but Pee Weirman made great entertainment.

He loved to masturbate as many of us do. I'd see nothing wrong with Peewee Herman. Pull my audio up a little bit. Oh, yeah. It's a remix. Do you think it'll, it's just on, okay, so the dude comes out of the bullpen yesterday, and you guys are like, oh, man. You're like, Creed?

that's like a little bit lame right and then this started happening and we were like, what the it's Creed dubstep Who needs this? I don't know but the place went bonkers We loved it. That was a bullpen guy song?

Yeah, like came charging out. Don't they have the tiny trumpet guy now? Edwin Diaz, yeah. He didn't put pitching that game but yes. Okay. Boy, if you could have seen that. I know. It would have been nice.

But no, first you hear of your Creed and you're like, come on, do what? And then he's like, do, do, do, do it. Oh, no. It wasn't the Creed guy, but the other one, there was the guy before him had like a classic white guy rock, you know, like really in your face. Immediately let in the run. Yeah, just the first pitch, cranked. It's just like, well, you were out here for one guy, so now we got to take you out of here.

Did the whole song thing. Oh, man. Yeah. Stuff. Long run from out there. You threw a pitch. Deposited in left field. This is great.

And dumb's on birthday of the day is Robert De Niro, 83. Happy price. You may know him from Goodfellas. You may know him from, I guess we've decided we've got to make, not Sabrina Carpenter, but other Disney broad. There's a new Meet the Fokkers. Ariana Grande. We have to recycle everything for the new famous people.

It looked pretty, like as far as... Shut up. I'm just saying they had a conceit, it's not nothing. We're doing that same exact movie? It's Ben Stiller's son is meeting someone, and he's meeting Ariana Grande. So Ben Stiller's the dad. And Robert De Niro, the grandpa.

So yesterday I drove up the one because I had time. And I stopped in. Hell yeah, dude. I stopped in Malibu for a coffee. And I'm 95% sure I saw Ben Stiller. Oh, awesome. Was he ripped? Yeah, he looked awesome.

That's him. He's a peptidian. It was probably him. I almost got the nerve to say something about the Knicks, but then I just let it go. That's what you would do. If you had a chance to talk to Ben Stiller. Because that's my way in.

Yeah, okay. If I say, hey, Ben, big fan. Give him something he likes. He's not going to hear one of his lines. But if I said, you're welcome from Jalen Brunson, he wouldn't have been as good as if he didn't stop through Dallas. I think that mighted. Or if you're like, boy,

finally got rid of Julius Randall. huh? He'd have been like, whew. I think if I lived out here, I'd have a notes page on what would I say certain people if I saw them. Oh, yeah. Be ready. That's good. Because I'd like to think about it.

Because you know you'd see Ben Stiller. You'd say something. Closing remarks. And you'd get home that night and you'd be like, oh, man, I could have. You know, there'd be five things. So you'd spend time kind of notepad in front of you being like, okay, if I run into him, here's a good one. What if I run into Kevin Rowland, who's saying, come on Eileen. Yeah, yeah.

I'd be like, hey, was it a double entendre or no? Is it just encouraging her? What was like Flaic in the 80s? You know, was, everybody thinking about come or no? Because now we're all, that's all we do. Born on the stay now dead, David Koresh. What a life. Davy Crockett.

What a life. Is that your hero? The king of the wild frontier. He was up there. The town near my parents' lakehouse celebrates being the burial place of Davy Crockett's wife, which I feel like it's too light an accomplishment to put on the sign. Joining the Musers. Yes, yes.

So I didn't learn this until much later, but my grandpa was retired. He had to watch me during the day sometimes. And to kill time one summer, he would drive me down to the complex near Waco. Oh, hell yeah. Because ATF was hanging out and the news was down there, so he'd just drive by it. me in the car. That's awesome. How old are you? Probably three. That's where he first started to get an inkling.

Something's not adding up here. If something hits those towers, there might be another... Something's not totally adding up. Another layer going on. Because you know who was there in launching his career on cable access? Well, yeah. Timothy McVeigh was certainly lurking. I'm thinking Alex Jones.

Oh, yeah. That was kind of the beginning. Him out there yelling. My grandpa, I don't know, I got four or five hours. Let's drive to Waco. see what's up. I love that. So if Davy Crockett's not your hero,

how about born in the Stay Now Dead, Chaleo Uvidya? He created Red Bull. Oh, wow. Without Red Bull, you don't get that energy, like all this. No doubt, right? Yeah, and I think it's got a crazy story.

Like, people in Germany, I think, had been drinking something like it for a long time. And then this dude came along and was like, We should do something with this. And all the, they're like model of sponsoring things. It's pretty good. So great. Just love seeing GoPro videos of guys on mountain bikes, things of this nature.

Hey, guys are going to jump from space. Brought you by Red Bull. All right. Dead on this day still dead. In 1920, Ray Chapman. Anybody know who he is? Yeah, he tried to kill. You're already wrong.

Okay, he made the song. He is the only Major League Baseball on field fatality. Okay. He was a Cleveland Indian, and he was hit in the head by a pitch. And just died right there? And the next day they were like, you know what? No, it was a 3-1 count. He got up.

What about helmets? No, he may have died in the – I don't know where he died, T.C., but he got hit in the head by a pitch and now he's dead. Pretty soon thereafter. Died on this day in 1992, Tommy Nutter. Do you think the guy who came up next? It's like, I'm definitely not getting charged for any of these. Like, you killed this guy.

They replace him. You're not going to be painting the black, right? I've got this whole play. I think everyone needs to understand that I am out here conservatively nibbling. I don't just go pound. He's probably look up the pitcher who killed him. I wonder if there's a story there. Like he couldn't live with himself.

Really? There's a book about it? Yeah, the pitch they killed. I'm sure Chapman hit a home run in the first inning, and this is a little retribution. Yeah. Bad flip. Bet you won't stare at the next one, Chapman.

Yeah. Tried to bun his way on. You see, like, the Indians were in a game a couple weeks ago. Guy was trying to bunt. It was the fifth inning, but the opposing pitcher, had a perfect game. And they got all red-assed about it.

And the coach after the game was like, it's okay up to the sixth inning. Like apparently now there's unwritten rules, like you're allowed to attempt to break up a no-hitter through six, but if it was the seventh, eighth or ninth, that would be. Your lineup has had two times to get to them. Yeah, I get that.

But did you see the other note? is they were arguing and the benches cleared and stuff, and that didn't allow the grounds crew to put the tarp on the field in time because there was a rain coming in. That's excellent. You Monty Python. Anyway, Tommy Nutter, once you 12-year-olds are done giggling, that that's his name.

He died on this day in 1992. He invented bell-bottom pants. Contributor? I don't know, man. I mean, you come on here every day, and you got a guy who invented zippers, Kleenexes, Velcro. Velcro, telecoms.

And this guy's like, what do we just make it wider at the bottom? Get the patent. And then two more dead on this day, still dead. They're pretty big impacts on this show in various ways. Number one, 2019, Cedric Benson. Yeah. Man, man.

The name's who. stake himself. How many touchdowns in state championship games? Dan, would you believe it? Three games, which, how's that happening? You're playing three state title games in high school, sophomore, junior, senior. Insane. 15 touchdowns.

He was a rebel. It does three years. At that time, it was literally like, okay, this is Ricky and then some. Bear? Yeah, yeah, first round. The fourth overall pick. They used to pick running backs at four. Some teams did it for

Up until Several years after that Oh, 2016? Yeah How'd he die? Motorcycle accident Yeah On Mopac had a chick on the back

How is she? I think she also died, right? I don't know I don't care about her She didn't score She didn't She didn't And died on this day

One year ago She didn't beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl Terrence Stamp He was Zod in Superman And that's what happened You know you don't want to go young You don't want to go however old he was But

Being in your college town Middle of the night on Mopac With a woman on the back of your BMW motorcycle Died doing what you love I think it's tough to think of something He would have loved more Yeah she also died

Her name was Amna Najam. She was 27. He was 36. That's nothing abnormal about that at all. No, I'm not calling it out critically, but I'm just saying I would love to ride around on a motorcycle with a woman named Amna

Najam. It was about 10 years younger than me. I would say that the main thing is if you were like I mean, if somebody was at fault in that accident, not him, I would call Franco and Franco at 2-14 or 8-17 in all threes. That's who

was on the back of the motorcycle? Even if this woman were not so hot, that Frankles would do their level best to try to take care of this issue and get her family which she deserves. Yeah, think of the family. 214, 817-3333, 33-33. I know that

the pickup and drop-off lines are hot right now. So fender-benders may be occurring, people are pissed. Are tempers? Yeah. Is it because of the weather? Is it because of... I think it's weather.

I think the kids go back earlier now. They closed down a school and didn't open another one, and this one's overcrowded now. Every district is now dealing with, hey, we close a couple of your schools. I don't know if the Frankles can do anything about that. But if someone hits through your car, they'll definitely take care of you.

Yeah, so thanks to, again, Plum Quick. There are our title sponsor out here, the Parlay Collective, and then Puddle Pools. You can go to, puddlepools.com slash dumb zone as well. It's a glorious day, man. Get yourself signed up.

Yeah, it's a little chilly, actually. I was in the airport. I saw the first robot wheelchair I've ever seen, which I thought, why haven't we had this before? They're pushing a robot? No. So we have...

It's a really old robot. It's on Medicaid. You're like, fucking grifter. We have robot door dash or whatever where it's like the cooler on wheels. That's all over downtown L.A. Everywhere you go, you see robot ice chest. Are they not in Philly

because they would destroy them? Probably. This wheelchair was just going along and it was headed like D-17. Well the person in it? Or to pick somebody up? No, it was empty. It was going to get somebody. Oh, wow. Okay. I didn't move for it. Yeah. You can wait your ass behind me.

God, that's weird. So it's like an Elon wheelchair? Like it's driving to self. But it makes sense. I mean, you've had up into this point someone having to lug this person around. They always look like they really enjoy it. I'm glad that we've eliminated that job.

I'm glad you're just for eliminating jobs. No, I'm standing up for them. I'm standing in the way of the robot. Because they can't. That's right, except for the guy that got on my shuttle to the airport. What do you guys want to do? You want to go swimming or something? You all applauded.

Yeah, so we don't generally practice is breaking up soon, but now we have to leave and then come back. We can't have to leave. You can go get a burrito and come back. We need to get a burrito. Adios, mofo. We got to go before this becomes a zoo. See you guys for drinks later. Thank you for watching my video.
