Now, on to today's program. Don't hug me. Tell them what you got. What, you want to know what I got? I'll tell you what I got. I got two Regal Cinemas. I got a Napa Auto Parts. I got Ace Soporos.

I got I don't know how many Subways. Hey, tell them what you got. Tell them what you got. Don't hold back, now. No, no, no. Yeah. I got a modest price home. I got a good deal on it.

That's nice. Yeah. All right. What else? What else? What else you got? Come on out. Oh, we got a family that loves me.

Loves the f*** out of me. Like, they like, they really like me a lot. Seriously though, like, something real, what you got? I'm about to get a pool. No! I love pools! Hey, I swim in my pool every motherf***ing day! Ah!

Pools! Pools! Pools! Pools! Pools! Pools! Pools! Pools! Pools! Pools! Pools! Well, hello there. It's August 22nd. It's show 221 of the Dumb Zone. I do miss my pool. That's a tough one. Having to move out of the house with the pool. Dan is not here. Dan is on the road to upstate New York,

which is a wild turn of events to drive all the way to both coasts in the span of a week and a half. And he's actually driving this time. Yeah, and I'm just chilling in the back while Matt handles everything up front. Yeah. He finished that entire book in the RV. I'm not surprised. But I don't envy him this time, given who his passenger is. You know the one thing that I thought about doing whenever we were on the RV that I didn't do? He would take these 20-minute little catnaps on the couch on the opposite side from the table.

And I was super close to drawing a dick on his face at one point. But I think he would have been actually mad. I think so. Not like, oh, you rascal. Like actually pissed off. Like he was when I filmed him when he spilled his coffee. But so Dan is not here, but Danny is. Danny is a guest today on the Dumb Zone.

And we found out in our pre-show meeting, air quotes, that he was also the guest on another recent podcast that he started to tell us about, and I said, wait. So Dumb Zone and... By the way, good morning. Yeah. Hi, Danny.

Good afternoon. Thanks for being here. Danny's a guy that'll wear a light black hoodie and long pants in August. You know what I do that for is because, number one, I'm old, and old people get cold easier. And it's always air-conditioned wherever you're going to be. My time outside is walking from the car to the door, and i don't want to risk freezing my butt off wearing you know tiny shorts and a tank top and rachel's right it does get cold in here yeah it's very cold in here been in here a handful of times and i know that it can get a little chilly

so i'm prepared for where i'm going to be for the longer amount of time not just the walk from the car to the door are you much of a sweater? No. Okay. Not at all. That's the problem for me is I could look like I jumped out of a pool on the walk to my car. Yeah, but you don't have a pool anymore. I don't.

So people are just like, he's just sweaty. In fact, I do something. I take precautionary measures. This is not the shirt I drove here in. Really? Really? I wear another shirt. And then especially if I know we're going to be on video, I will change shirts before I come in so that

I like that other shirt is all the sweat, my pits. Do you sweat from your drive from your, what are you driving? Like a 71 Ford with no windows, no AC and the windows that won't roll down. Yeah. With no, uh, no automatic windows. No, I just, I'm very sweaty. I have to use like a medicated deodorant once a month and it burns. It's liquid. I have to put it on, you know, there's like a little applicator and I have to, I have to put it on. Don't they do like injections that you can get an injection in your armpit? There's a couple of different ways. One of them is Botox, which we've actually talked about with our crack sales team.

They're like, would you guys be interested in this? And I'm like, yeah, Rob and I sweat a lot. I would like that. I've never noticed it about you guys. Maybe it's because y'all are fit. Oh, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Real fit.

You don't notice the sweaty, thin guy, but if a guy that looks like Tony Soprano walks in and he's got beads on his forehead, it's like, of course, look, the fat guy's sweating. He's out of breath. Yeah. Fat guys have it rough on a couple fronts like that because people also don't assume that I can wreck a toilet like I can. But a fat guy, you're just like, whoa, don't want to go in there after that guy. Interesting pivot. I was just describing that if a skinny guy walks in and is sweating, you think, oh, did you just get back from the gym? If the fat guy walks in and is sweating, you say, did you just walk from the elevator?

Right, yeah. But what I'm saying is that if me and a fat guy both walked out of the number two zone and it's terrible, they're going to assume it was him who made it terrible. Yeah, yeah. It's just not fair. Meanwhile, you have the anus of a moose. Yeah. Right? It's kind of sad when you realize just how deep into a relationship you are where, and i guess some people never get to the fart place

i'm not there and i will never be there i got there pretty quickly and now i just don't care i've been in one relationship where that was okay and i was young and i have not since where i will go to i'm like a fucking navy seal yeah when it comes to being secretive about going number two okay and I won't intentionally make smell bad in front of a woman because I don't want the other side I don't want to hear hers. Exactly. Because if you break that seal, then she's like, well, we're so comfortable in our relationship. Look, I want something to be mysterious. Yeah. I'm all about transparency and honesty and talking about all the people we've slept with, whatever you want to do.

I'm just more about our quality than you guys. I just don't want, I don't want that. But the thing is. You're going to do that. Close the door. Don't want open door policy. Yeah. Don't fart on me. But you is. I don't want to leave. You're going to do that. Close the door. Don't want open door policy. Yeah. Don't fart on me.

But you know what? Fart on me? That doesn't have to go that far. Yeah. That feels like a special request. The kid loves it. They do. When I fart in front of Brooks, like, he just loses his mind.

Yeah. Yeah. And the other thing, too, that can be very embarrassing is I'll fart in the car a lot when it's just me. And then, you know, the next time I get in the car, if it hasn't been that long, the fart is there. And so sometimes it's really embarrassing because if it's just me and Nora, it's funny. But when mom walks Nora out and we open the door, Nora will say, time to get in the fart car.

She calls my car the fart car. Mom's car is the black car. Mine is the fart car. Why is mom's car the black car? It's just black, Danny. It's the toy that's under the driver's seat. Thinking about the things that are done in the car. No. No.

Well. No, there's not a series of premium videos filmed there. Although I suppose that could apply to the fart thing too. Uh-huh. Mom's not driving around with Jake Steed in the passenger seat. No. And Nora's also called me out like right when at our old school when we were in drop off if i happened to let one go when we were maybe two cars back and then the lady would come up and open the door and she would

yell oh dad farted and it's just some like 22 years old teacher's assistant lady and i'm like it was her it was her so awkward yeah they just call you out all the time yeah it's amazing that i'm i'm sure your little ones like this too as well blake but the the lack of filter that they'll say anything to anybody at any time they're the biggest snitch they're snitches and if you're not the type of parent that's kind of like always trying to censor them like when i grew up if you just didn't you didn't really talk you're gonna get a backhand speak if spoken shut up or or that's inappropriate now in modern parenting you kind of you you don't really try to discourage the kid from having a voice but it's really fucking embarrassing when you're

picking up a pizza and i think i've told you this story maybe but don't tell this on the air here before i don't think so okay me no well you go to pick up a pizza with your kid all right so lover's pizza it's love it great new york style pizza up or on garland road we're going to talk about pizza a little bit later as well deep dishes here yeah show up with my kid we do this on the regular about once a month and we're sitting there and i recognize a guy that's doing a pickup as well i look up it's like oh my god that's my buddy chris now chris was a former oh i'm not i'm not sure what the special like if if you're in the

navy you're a navy seal if you're in the army you're special forces he's one of those guys green beret or operative dudes that um that did a lot of tours afghanistan iraq and when he came back he uh was a dallas police officer for a number of years so he's he looks like a fucking badass like he's big and built and bald and cool glasses and everything anyway he's picking up pizza i'm like hey chris what's up and he turns around and he'd never met Malcolm before. I hadn't seen him in years. They just start talking. I'm like, hey, Malcolm, you know, Chris used to be a police officer.

So Malcolm is fascinated with jail right now. Yeah. He wants to know who's in jail, are scary guys in jail, what do you have to do to get in jail. And he will say quite openly, i want to go to jail so he's telling chris it's like my friend this chris police officer he's like i want to go to jail and chris says oh yeah okay well you know that's you might not there's a lot of bad people in jail and start talking about jail he looks at chris and he goes i want to see your penis what and he said it so loud that heads turned in the pizza place and

there's a sit-down restaurant heads turn over like what the hell and it's my little boy standing up looking at this large bald man saying show me what you got i want to see your penis and he said it loud where did he get this i don't know because he was probably like at penis height this level and just happened to look straight ahead it's like i mean i want to see it yeah see my dad's yeah about it what are you packing yeah so chris goes well if i did that they'd probably put me in jail yeah which is the perfect comeback. But yeah, I'm sitting there going, are you kidding me? I've always been worried.

We've talked about this before. I've always been worried that if, let's say we have a nurse or a nurse practitioner who is not white, that the kid will bring it up. But it's never happened. I guess they just don't, you know, they don't think about it. I think if they grow up. Her class was pretty diverse at Montessori, so she just never. But I'm like, you know, this lady comes in. She's very large. She's black.

I think as long as they don't hear that distinction being made at home from their parents. Right. Or people that they're exposed to. I don't think they pay any attention to that. Yeah, you're probably right. For the most part. You're probably right. Yeah.

So tell us about your most recent podcast appearance. A friend of mine, Tony, has linked up with these two other guys, and I think they're all former Dallas residents and were affiliated in the music scene industry here for a number of years, like back in, you know, early two thousands. And one of them moved to Austin, I think. And then another guy's in San Francisco and, uh, they do a podcast on Christian rock called, I think it's called God gave rock and roll to you. And I don't think it's dropped yet. I don't think our episodes dropped, but Tony, Tony, we were chatting one day,

and he asked me if I'd be interested in being a guest. And I was like, hell yeah. I'd do it in a heartbeat because I've got a pretty extensive background growing up around all that. So I did like an hour and a half with those guys and just talked about what my scene was with being exposed to it, what my scene was with being exposed to it, how I, the, the hardcore indoctrination attempts, you know, as, as a young kid, you and I have talked about the camps, church camps, VBS,

vacation Bible school, the, uh, where they would get bring in people from other church markets that were maybe self-proclaimed experts on this stuff. We had this one session where this guy came in and taught our Bible study or Bible school or whatever it was about all of the perils of listening to rock music and playing songs backwards and backwards masking and what album covers really meant. And it was all bullshit. Of course. 100% bullshit. masking what album covers really meant and it was all bullshit of course 100 bullshit but just all of that world and how exposed to it i was and my favorite part about it was yeah i tried to buy in

and you're getting these records you know like your youth director says well i know you like foreigner and acdc well these guys rock too and you see the picture and it's like, I don't know, man, it's a guy with a keytar and there's a fat Asian dude with a vest and that guy's got a mustache. He's got a mustache. He's bald. Because back in the day, you'd buy your records based on how cool the band looked a lot of times. Of course. Or how dangerous the logo was. Exactly. was exactly yeah yeah and this was none of that and then he's like oh but check it out you listen to it and you're trying to love jesus so you're trying to convince yourself this stuff is good but there's fucking synthesizers in it and i don't want that and the guy can barely play lead better than me i'm 13 and i can shred this dude in the christian

band so you're trying to convince yourself and it doesn't work. And you finally give back in and go back to Satan. Yeah, where you started. Yeah, reset it. And I had gotten rid of all my albums or given them away or thrown them in the trash. And then my first purchase when I got out of the Christian rock world and decided to never go back was Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast. It has to be. I had to get the album cover that had the most satanic imagery on it. There

was only one choice. Yeah, 100%. Yeah, that's cool. God gave rock and roll to you, I think is what it's called. It should be out. Very interesting. Yeah. So I grew up in the era where the non-denom churches had figured out that the only way they could sell it to us was the guys could not look like the guys that had the keytar and the vest they did so much better at marketing christian music and for your uh generation your age demographic whatever the bands were better they looked the part they could actually play their instruments some of them had tattoos yeah Yeah, their songs were pretty catchy. Yeah.

So yeah, it was really difficult to, you couldn't even tell. It's like, well, I don't know, is this mall punk band secular or they? There were a bunch of those. The Lord, a lot of them. Yeah, and so it was much easier for them to sell it to us. And the thing for me was,

when I was probably 13, 14, the really only places you could play were churches and church affiliated clubs, like the door. Do you remember there was the door in Fort Worth, the door in Dallas was not as churchy, but the door in Fort Worth, you know, they would let you play. Yeah. And if you just had a demo, Russell Hobbs venues, I believe that the name of the guy sounds really familiar. Yeah, yeah. And it was interesting because it was religious based and cover was $10.

And I believe I remember the club keeping eight or nine of that. So I'm like, that doesn't seem that charitable. You know, we got 50 people to show up here and made $50. Right. But that was pretty much the only place you could play, so you had to kind of buy in a little bit. Played at Church Community Center, did that a couple times. Now, were you playing, I mean, were the lyrics of your songs,

were you trying to make them ambiguous, or were they openly praised songs? They were not openly praised songs, but there was no swearing. Okay. And so, you you know they would let us get by with it they weren't that hardcore about that um you just couldn't curse right or you know sing about the devil now that changed a little bit when the world opened up to us this is something we talked about recently as well do you remember dream world i don't think so oh my

gosh man there was a place in Arlington. I think it's by Baby Dolls, but it might be one of the other Arlington strip clubs. Dream World was a strip joint? It was the name of a music venue that also, it was almost like an old barn. There was no, the carpet, or excuse me, the floor was dirt in the actual venue space part of it. And then they had a handful of recording studios in the back. I saw a guy kill a snake there with a shovel in a recording studio. And that place was insane.

And they would have like your ICP knockoff type bands play there. And we were doing like, I miss my girlfriend with palm muting. play there and we were doing like i miss my girlfriend with palm muting and then the band that would come on before after us would just be like decapitating a teddy bear with like a blood capsule on it my parents are there my grandparents are there that's when things got when you got away from the christian venue yeah it was a wild time those are good times those were very good times i still need to try to find that album. The one you did? Yeah.

Because we want to – I have been asking you for this for years. I know. And I keep asking my buddy who I thought would have had it backed up somewhere. But, yeah, we won like 10 hours in a studio from a battle of the band. Those always sound great. Oh, my God, dude. I mean, obviously, you're playing everything live. You can't track anything, really. And you got their best engineer available.

I remember that being the first time I ever was like, I don't know if I do want to smoke pot when I get older, because this guy was blackout high. Oh, he hated the fact that you were there. Yeah, we were 16, 17-year-old kids. He's an actual engineer and producer. Yeah, these guys, that's the thing about recording studios it's if you talk to any recording studio engineer sure they'll have

their glamorous uh bands that they recorded you know like for example nile city sound for every leon bridges that gets to work, there's 15 dentists that have a guitar that show up. They can pay for the hours. Not only do they have a guitar, their checks don't bounce, and they've got a vision, bro. It's going to be a hit. They have a vision of what they want, and they don't want any help in you producing it. They just want you to push the buttons, and you've got to sit in there and do this because it pays the bills. It's like anything else.

We sell our souls in so many ways on a daily basis, and you just mine life for those nuggets that feel authentic. So like I said, it's for every Leon Bridges. There's so many more of those, the guys that you have to have in the studio just to pay the bills. And you guys were one of those things. And they weren't even getting paid. They were donating their time for some raffle. Yeah, to Buzz Oven. Yeah.

They probably got very, it's like, oh, it's going to be great exposure for your studio. Yeah. You know, for whatever, Crystal Clear Studio. Oh, got it. Your name's going to be on all these pamphlets and we're going to be running radio ads. It's like, bullshit. None of that stuff happens i ended up with like 400 copies of that that i couldn't move like we might have sold 100 and then i just had boxes full of these cds that paid to have like

the printing done on such a beaten time of my life if you have 400 of them some of them have to be in existence i would figure so what was the name of the act uh at that point it was called uh five minutes stranger okay which was pretty much a set yeah i love it yeah okay so you said before we get to sports you said something to me a couple weeks ago one of the times whenever you were going to be in. Um, and I knew that you had an amicable situation with your most recent baby mama and that you had, you know, a young child and that you took care of them about half the time. Uh,

and I, at some point, you know, obviously picked up on the idea, like they're not all living in the same house together. But then Danny's telling me a couple of weeks ago, um, that he's like, no, you no, I'm good for tomorrow.

The mom watches her every other day. And we were talking about you working here at some point and insurance and stuff like that. And you're like, oh, Malcolm's covered. His mom married a really rich guy. And I was like, oh, cool. I guess you'd rather have that than some deadbeat. And then Danny said, yeah, he's cool. I'm actually going to watch UFC with him tomorrow night.

I was like, what the hell? I get that that sounds maybe unusual. It's cool, but it's still just very unfamiliar based on my experience. Well, of course, of all of our experiences. I grew up in divorce. I know you did too, Blake. Your parents are still together, right? Must be nice. I don't know what that's like.

See, for me, Blake, the parents that chose to adopt me, they couldn't have kids, so they went out and found a baby that they wanted so bad, and they still got divorced. Might have been related. You guys got twice the presents, though. That's very true.

And Dad's Weekend, which I missed out on. Well, yeah. Okay. Mine was, I think, a little better than his. It's not the same when your dad, when they divorce, that you see him one time. Nine. Yes, y'all's were way worse. I was just trying to participate. Anyway, I'm not trying to make

this all about me. Jake, you bring that up and it is interesting because i think it's very uncommon for most people to have that type of co-parenting relationship especially when your ex marries someone because we were never married and we were very uh young in our relationship when we found out we were pregnant and we decided, let's do this. Let's give it a run. And the run didn't last, which is not uncommon at all. And she ended up dating this guy and they ended up getting married and they have a daughter now.

She's almost three, three and a half months. three and a half months. And when I say he's rich, he makes enough money to be able to cover my son's health insurance. And spring for UFC. And spring for UFC, yes. To some people, that's... He's cool. He's a great dude.

I love his mom to death, and I want nothing more than, number one, for my kid to grow up in an environment where the guy that is going to be with him a lot is a good dude. And it's probably not a bad idea to have some semblance of a relationship with the guy, an amicable, kind, nice, friendly relationship. And I care deeply for his mom because that's the mother of my son and i it's all good and yeah maybe it's a little weird to most people it's probably the exception i wish it were more the rule that that uh mixed families could uh could get along like that so i

feel very very lucky in that regard but yeah you know malcolm went to bed one night and he was springing for ufc and invited me over and i sat there uh on a chair and watched guys kick the shit out of each other with my ex and her husband and um look i think i think most people put on the the brave face and try to make it work i mean my parents did that it wasn't like they were trying to actively sabotage things right but that basically went as far as we're not going to argue at sporting events. Yeah. And we're going to take care of the kids together. But it certainly wasn't like, hey, dude, I'm going water skiing this week.

You want to come out? It definitely wasn't that. Which would happen. Yeah. I could see if they went water skiing, i would probably get an invite if it were you know feasible for that to happen i would get an invite from him you're a very mature man he would text me and say hey bro do you want to come out for a couple of days we've got this cabin we they went to broken bow recently and i went up one uh morning and hung out with them during

the day and spent the night and slept in malcolm's bed and we he malcolm and i drove back to to dallas the next day but yeah it's me and her and him and her parents and sitting around a campfire drinking tequila after the kids go to bed they ever whip your ass about ticket stuff loves the ticket oh see i feel like that would be he loves the ticket and loves the dallas cowboys okay yeah i was gonna say danny's probably like yeah these people are awesome they let me hang around and they're probably like, God, this guy won't leave us alone. Yeah.

Look. Just trying to be nice. He actually took us up on the water skiing thing. He slept in Malcolm's bed. What's his deal? What a creep. He wouldn't leave

when I bought the UFC fight. Thought it was a pretty clear message. It was time to... I knew he didn't like UFC. That's why I was watching it. Well, I think that's cool. It's obviously the best thing for the kid. For sure.

So that's really all that matters. All right, Blake. You don't have to pay for UFC. There you go. Always a plus. Although there was a fight that happened this past weekend. Didn't get the invite.

Okay, you know, he's probably got to rotate your friends. Maybe he wanted to bang that night. Oh, my. That is a fantastic way for us to segue into telling you about what to do if you're in a car accident or any other sort of personal injury. You call Frankel and Frankel at 214 or 817 and? It's all threes, dude. 214, 817. Just wear out

that three. Just hit three until something starts ringing, and Gene Burkett will probably pick up and go, hey, what's up? Yeah, you will talk to a partner, either Gene or Mark or Scott Frankel. They're, of course, based here in Dallas. I thought about the Frankels a lot on our road trip because I constantly felt in peril. Yeah. And credit to Rob and Matt, they were RV aces,

but it just feels like a dangerous situation. Yeah, when we were going through Nevada and the roads are not fully paved, and we're just hopping up and down, and the RV is like, okay, we're going to flip. Could be a little bit of danger here. Yeah. And if that would have happened to you here locally, you would need to call the Frankles. Absolutely. Whether you're in the black car or the fart car, things go wrong on the highways all the time.

And a lot of times it's not your fault. A lot of times it's not your fault. You need that number. The insurance company might try to make you think it's your fault. Well, the Frankels and Jean Burkett, they used to work for the insurance company, so they know the tricks. They know the dirty moves that they're going to try to pull. So call them.

If you find yourself in a situation where you are unfortunately in an auto accident, call 214-817-333-3333, Danny. It's easy to remember. It's just the number three. Yep. Any area code. Those two. Yeah.

Those two in particular. 469, you're screwed. You can still call them. I want to be very clear about that. Yeah. Just remember the number him. I want to be very clear about that. Yeah. Just remember the number three. That's it. Thank you to Frankel and Frankel.

So I have a couple sports topics for you today, but I believe Blake is actually going to kick us off with a little video. Yeah, I just wanted to show you a quick video because we had mentioned the other day that the Raiders are actually going to start Gardner Minshew. And hold on a sec. I think he's had a weird trajectory where he played at Washington State for Mike Leach, and he put up a ton of yards.

But at the time, he looked normal. Then he grew his mullet out in a weird mustache. Not totally normal. He had a mustache at Washington State. Did he? Yeah, because I remember the first time I became aware of him, they had a big win. And Leach is doing his on-field interview. And as universities will do when they get a player with a funny bit, a la Texas was actually selling Quinn Ewers wigs, like mullets, when he first got there. Yeah. Well, remember Landry Jones had the Landry stash?

Exactly. He was all over that. So Minshew runs up during Leach's on-field interview. It's like a Friday night Pac-12 game and just slaps a mustache, like a stick-on mustache on Leach's face. And Leach is Leach, so he's real confused already. And that's when I first heard about him. And then, of course, once he got to the league, he did a podcast interview. I don't know if you ever heard this story, Danny, where when he was in college, he was trying to get another year of eligibility. So he needed a medical redshirt. And his move was he drank like a fifth of Jack Daniels and started hitting his own hand with a hammer, trying to break his own hand.

I've never heard that. Yeah yeah i don't think it worked really now he's just got a jacked up he just had a jacked up hand because but but it healed back so he can do a perfect football grip that's right yeah he's a wild card and i believe he was uh he partnered with like one of the beer companies and if you took him first in your fantasy league you got a case of miller life it was the. It was the biggest backwards deal ever because your league entry is maybe $100. You're going to lose that money if you take Gardner Minshew 1-1, but at least you'll have a $14 case of domestic lights. The deal made no sense, but got their name out there.

So this guy's a bit. And he's not horrible. No. He's not the worst quarterback in the league, but he's really embraced this I'm mullet guy, I'm mustache guy, I'm beer drinking man. And for whatever reason, Creed has had this huge comeback where the Rangers somehow made it higher their song.

They've been a part of some other team mantras, I guess. Oh, the Marlin. That's right. Maybe that's what started it. Maybe. Anyway, Gardner has capitalized on this resurgence from Creed, so he put out this workout video. Oh, my God.

So he's in a cutoff shirt. He's shirtless. His mullet's flying around. He's just doing, like, traditional workouts. And it's set to higher. I wonder what the coaches think. Look at him. He's so old.

He looks so 70s now. Now he's getting a little bit older, you know? Yeah, that's fantastic. He's leaning into it, and he's the starting quarterback for your Las Vegas Raiders. Man, if he'd do a little something with that hair, he's giving off some serious Burt Reynolds vibes. That's kind of what I was looking for when I said 70s. Badass.

That is. And you know what? The Cowboys would never embrace that. No. They want the most boring backup quarterback possible. And they found him. The worst interview on the field and off. I've ever, ever conducted.

The worst liner for sure. Really? Yeah. This is not good. I had a couple of football topics. Everyone is buzzing about flag football in the Olympics. Because it's going to be a thing in LA in 2028. I love it.

And it's been growing. There's going to be a small professional league, I think six cities, launching next year. It's grown quite a bit on the international stage. They have like a World cup or a world championship. Um, so it's been in the news because the Olympics were just here and they're previewing what 2028 is going to be like. And a lot of players in the NFL are watching their NBA counterparts who are pros get to go compete for a gold medal for the United States of America. And they're like, well, we want to do that. Why can't we just play flag football in the Summer Olympics and try to win a gold medal?

Because it's the only chance you're probably going to have. There aren't too many guys who late in their career decide to be a bobsled pusher or a Kershaw walker. And the league has been pushing, the NFL has been pushing, like flag football engagement and involvement with youth and like with community leagues. So that's the first part is that this is going to happen, and I'm sure everybody, there'll be a bunch of curmudgeon-y sports writers

who are like, you know, this is a bastardization of the game, all that sort of thing. But it really was back in the news again over the last couple of days because a guy named Daryl Doucette, who is the quarterback for the current quarterback for the United States team. So I guess in 2023, they had a world championship. They won it. He was the MVP. He never played college football at all. He started playing solely flag football in college when he went to Xavier. And so he just started playing intramurals and got really, really good and kept playing the circuit. And there's guys like this.

Like we talked to Kavanaugh about this a couple weeks ago. Jeff was traveling the country winning money playing flag football. It's a real thing. And so this guy got people all fired up when he gave an interview and it was an article. And then I guess some of the quotes got pulled, as articles will, in the world of aggregation. And he went on TMZ Sports and he said a couple things that I wanted to make sure you guys heard.

Let me start by saying that I appreciate the love and support that the NFL and NFL guys are definitely giving flag football. Let's start off by saying that. But to go back to my quotes quotes it was taken from an article and they only took parts of what i said and they're mis they're misconstruing what i'm saying and what i'm trying to explain i love the fact that they want to play and that they want to come out and compete but at the end of the day we want the same process that we've been having to play. We have to try out. And so do they. You know, I don't want to be like they're entitled because of their names to be able to just automatically be on the team. And that's what it sounds like from the flag football world. We are fans of these guys.

And we love like I say, we love the fact that they want to go out and win a gold medal and represent the country just like us. But we don't want to be forgotten about because we are the ones that helped this game get to where it's at. I can kind of see where he's coming from. I love everything that he just said. Yeah, I can kind of see where he's coming from that Micah can't just tweet, I want to be in the Olympics. I want to be on the flag football team. No, you're going to have to play qualifying. You're going to have to have real tryouts.

Can't you assume that the NFL guys would be better than the people that play flag football? I don't think you can. Okay, so he does get into that. What would happen if you got a team of NFL dudes? How many are on the team? Five? Seven? I think this is seven on seven.

Okay, seven on seven. Okay, seven on seven. Typically, you get like 15 guys. You get these guys out of their pads playing under the rule system that's in place for flag football, and here's your NFL's best. I'm not going to sit here and say that they wouldn't get smoked by the dudes that are elite at that particular sport and have been playing together for a long time. You almost see it in the NBA right now. Dude, our men's Olympic team almost got beat by France in the final. They almost got beat a couple

times. Yeah, they almost got seriously beat by, I can't remember who it was, a round or two before. And you watch them play and you realize look just because that is the best that the NBA has to offer doesn't mean that it's not going to look like a freaking all-star game when they go out there and that's what it looked like and the biggest thing too which he gets into a little bit here um is it's just a really different game so like you could yeah Tyreek Hill for sure um You can grab probably a dozen wide receivers, and they would be pretty effective.

But past that, there's not too many guys who are effective playing flag football who weigh 215 pounds. You know what I mean? That's just not how that game works. It's way more. I mean, I've told you guys this before. There was a 5'3 Vietnamese was the like of the best flag football players i've ever seen in my life she was on jeff's team because she's low to the ground

she was quick as hell and she had insane hip movement and if you haven't pulled a flag in a while also it's a problem but it's not the same as just running through somebody, through the ball, through the play. Yeah, but not everybody is Derrick Henry out there. I think if you gave Tyreek Hill three months to do this, because these guys are so specialized. I mean, what's the comp here? Is it, let's say, you know,

if you want to build like a three-on-three team, like the Olympics has basketball three-on-three. Don't you think if you threw KD, LeBron, and Steph Curry out there, they would win that too? I think they'd be closer than the NFL guys would be. They probably would win it. And I'm not saying the NFL team would be bad, but I am saying it's a way different game.

You can't check a receiver. You would really have to train your brain, first of all, to not be getting a penalty on every single play because there's no supposed contact. I mean, people run into each other, but you can't start hacking at somebody off the line. You can't run through somebody when you're trying to get to the quarterback, although they do it in the Grapevine League and they never throw the flag.

I just want to be very clear about that. It's a way less physical game, but it's a very similar skill set. And the people that are very good at this skill set play in the NFL. I think you'd be better off letting the men's World Cup team or the U.S. men's national team train for three months and see if they could do it because they're smaller and they're quicker. So you would, I think the NFL team could be good, but I don't think that it would be dominant. And I think you would have a, you know, there'd be a couple of guys that would have to make the team that would not be very good. I don't think you would be able to get a quarterback from

the NFL to do it. Would you? So he mentions Patrick Mahomes here. This of course is one thing that got people really fired up. I think this is that part. At the end of the day, we are all men. So we welcome competition. But I'm not necessarily speaking about myself being the quarterback or trying to compete against Patrick Mahomes or anything like that. At the end of the day, I feel like I'm better than Patrick Mahomes

because of my IQ of the game. I know he's right now the best in the league. I know he's more accurate. I know he has all these intangibles. But when it comes to flag football, I feel like I know more's right now the best in the league. I know he's more accurate. I know he has all these intangibles. But when it comes to flag football, I feel like I know more than him. Probably does. At flag football. At flag football.

How old is this guy? 35. He was really young. But he's been playing a long time, like almost 20 years. And so if you look at that guy, I don't know who your quarterback would be but i don't think it's patrick mahomes it's lamar it would have to be that's about it like that's about what you'd have to have because jalen hurts or dac would be dead in the water you might even be better off just having tyreek hill be the quarterback because when you like yes exactly i've been on flag football

teams that had a guy with a rocket arm who played college football and was a stationary quarterback and they got killed yeah but your guys my guy's fast as hell though really yeah he's very very elusive and he's not that big yeah what's that gonna do after three mississippi dude that's the thing and like mahomes is great at getting out of tackles, but they don't have to tackle you. All they have to do is get to your hip. And that's not his magic.

I don't think it would work as well. It's a very different game. Lamar, maybe. But with some training, I still think the best athletes at this play at the highest level, and they could figure it out. It's going to be fun to watch. I also wonder how teams are going to handle it okay but think if all right if you're nbc

yeah aren't you going to want nfl guys on there yes like i would watch if nfl players played i would not watch if this guy was the quarterback oh i'm going to watch either way but i know what you're saying from a marketability standpoint having you know aman raw and cd out there would certainly sell a little bit bigger. He does talk about the flag pulling thing a little bit right here, which I thought was interesting. Flag pulling. Flag pulling is very difficult, especially when you have elusive guys that know how to hit moves, dip, and all these different moves that we've been training to do, just like they've been training to do to make it to the NFL. This is our game that we love to play. So we go play on a daily basis,

and we train to do these moves. Offensively, I think they will be successful when it comes to certain things. But the width of the field is smaller. The timing isn't as much. And I think they will have trouble with flag guarding. I also think they may stiff arm. That would be a huge problem because half the dudes that I've played with, when they get the ball, they literally just hold it at their chest. Because if you take a one-hand carry in flag football, you will naturally, instinctively, when someone reaches for your hip, you will try to swat it away. And you can't do that. You can't do anything. So there's a guy on our team, big boy, who's got some speed, who's our center. He'll catch the ball and run with the

ball over his head right down the middle of the field because it's a surefire way not to get flag guarding. I'm telling you. Can you create a fumble by knocking the ball out of his hand? No. Oh, you can't? No. So there's no turnovers other than interceptions? You're just down. If the ball hits the ground, you're down.

Really? Yeah. But that's the thing. Like DK Metcalf, if somebody reaches for his waist, is going to be like, get that shit away from me. You're right on that. However, we haven't brought up defense yet. Yeah.

And I think the NFL guys would be really good at that. Imagine Trayvon out there. I still think he's going to instinctively think he can just get in a guy's hip pocket. Yeah. And you can't. So I don't know. I'd love to see it. You know what I'd love if they did? They just did this like a Mighty Ducks movie or something, and they just have the two teams play each other to see who the team is. That'd be cool. Not even like a mixed version of it.

Let's have a primetime event where the current team and 12 of the NFL's best play, and it's winner take all. Well, if you go by Jake's logic, your best bet for quarterbacks would be like Lucy Liu and Margaret Cho. Yeah, Margaret Cho. Yeah. Margaret Cho is a little bigger, I think. Small Asian women. Margaret Cho, based on my memory of the standup where she was wearing the leather suit, was

that she was not exactly diminutive, which is why I enjoyed her quite a bit. There was a time where I was like, this will work for Margaret Cho day. It was the summer and Comedy Central was running the special a lot. Do you think my popular Asian culture celebrities are a little dated? A little bit dated. Lucy Liu. Who was she? Was she like Xena, the warrior princess?

No, she's still around a little bit because she was in like- Oh, I don't want to say anything because it's going to be racist. She was in Charlie's Angels, but still, that was a long time ago. That was a long time ago. Yeah, I was about to mention a current show. Awkwafina. There's one. Okay.

Yeah. I didn't want to just throw out. We should move on. Shogun? Are you going to say she was in Shogun? Shogun is awesome, by the way. Yeah. Have you seen it?

Some. Yeah. He bailed. You bailed on Shogun? No by the way. Yeah. Have you seen it? Some. Yeah. He bailed. You bailed on Shogun? No, I just... What about you? I loved it. Yeah, I finished pretty quick. Wow. Yeah. Pretty exceptional. Even if it sucked. I mean... With the ladies? Oh my God. Yeah.

Yeah. The one scene where she actually goes in and kind of surprises him when he's asleep. Yeah, that was pretty special. Anyways, we've got controversy involving the Miami Dolphins. Controversy. So this has been something that's

kind of been percolating a little bit. With Brian Flores, their former head coach, he had the situation where he got fired and then he sued the league because he said that their owner was trying to incentivize him to lose, um, to pay to tank because they wanted, you know, ex quarterback over another and that he, he made allegations of racism. Their owner ended up

getting suspended for a year, which is hilarious. What does that even mean? You're just like an 80-year-old billionaire and they're like, don't come to work for a month. You're like, okay, so I just don't have to mess with any of the stuff? Can't go to the games, I guess. Yeah, but okay. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal. A lifetime ban

is one thing, but a year suspension. Yeah, but that goes on as permanent record. It's in the file? Well, you and I have talked about those before. I've been in a lot of files. Yep. Yeah.

So one thing that you started hearing after they fired Brian Flores was that he had a really poor relationship with Tua Tonga Viola, my Loa. I'm never going to get that right. Just say Tua. I'll just say Tua. Stop trying to be cool and pronounce it.

That's exactly what I was doing. And they hired Mike McDaniel, who is like the coolest guy in the world. We all became kind of obsessed with him his last year in San Francisco because he looks nothing like a football coach. He talks nothing like a football coach. Talks like a genius at the Apple store.

Yeah. Right. And definitely in picture one looked like it. As you can see if you're watching at home, though, and you'll see it in the NFL this season, after two years in Miami, the overworked Twitter joke of the week was he already looks like a Coke dealer. Or like a nightclub owner. How is that the same guy? Okay. He looks so cool. He has like a Coke dealer or like a nightclub owner. How is that the same guy? Okay.

He looks so cool. He has like a perm. The thing that I know. Okay. So he's grown out his beard a little bit. Yep. And he stopped slicking his hair back. Yeah.

Because his hair is just, it's obviously curly, but he used a lot of product in picture left to get it to do that and he went with rather than prescription dork glasses bifocals he went with uh blue blockers yeah like he looked i swear to you this guy has worked with tony montana he looks kind of badass and he's got like a ten thousand dollar watch on that he he coaches in. Yes. On the sideline. The watch? Yeah, he coaches in the watch. He coaches in like $800 Nikes.

And the pants. The pants that don't reach your ankles. I've come around on those. I'll never let you see me wearing them, but I've come around on those. They're actually comfortable. Some guys can pull them off. Thanks. You could change the logo on

his polo on the left and it would make more sense if it said best buy yeah yeah right for sure yeah and the other one just needs to say cocaine right it's right there so he's the ultimate players guy his players love him the people in san Francisco loved him. Every stop he's been at, everyone loves him. And that's not been the case for Brian Flores. So Tua went on the Dan Lebitard show, and after two years with Mike McDaniel, is it two or three now? It has to be three because he got paid.

This is Tua? Oh, two with Mike McDaniel. He's had two with McDaniel and, yeah, two with McDaniel and yeah two for us so after those two years um they paid him they've won a lot of games they've flamed out of course at certain times throughout the the last couple years but they're a good team he's a good quarterback and this is what he had to say can you explain to us the difference in practical terms between having a coach who did believe in you the way that he did and the difference between that and what was happening with Flores yeah well to put it in simplest terms if you woke up every

morning and I told you you suck at what you did that you don't belong doing what you do that you shouldn't be here that this guy should be here that you haven't earned this right and then you have somebody else come in and tell you dude you are the best fit for this like you are accurate you are the best whatever you are this you are that like how would it make you feel listening to one or the other? You see what I'm saying? And then you hear it, you hear it regardless of what it is, the good or the bad. And you hear it more and more. You start to actually believe that I don't care who you are. You can be the president of the United States. You have a terrible person that's telling you things that you don don't want to hear or that that you probably

shouldn't be hearing you're going to start to believe that about yourself and so that's sort of like what what ended up happening and it was i mean it's basically been what two years of training that out of not just me but you know a couple of the guys as well that have been here since my rookie year all the way till now it's pretty damning it's pretty scathing yeah yeah i mean you've referred to him as a terrible person um it's weird though because i i think probably some of the the discourse danny is uh like old school football heads being like you're not supposed to be told you're great every day like you haven't done anything you haven't earned anything so that's why we're going to, you know, Parcells way,

we're going to coach you and make you realize you suck. So you'll want to get better. And it's probably just different for every player, but I certainly think in the current generation, you're going to get better results by telling guys, like by pumping guys up and tearing them down. to get better results by telling guy like by pumping guys up than tearing them down yeah and you make once you make that transition from college to nfl you're no longer you're no longer a student that it's almost still okay to treat them that way or to talk down to them a little bit for whether it would be for motivational purposes or just because i'm old school football coach guy. Once you get in the NFL, these are equals.

These are guys that are making a shitload more money than you. They're grown men millionaires that are all either in their 20s or about to be. That doesn't motivate people anymore. And I'm sorry. There's people out there that can say, that's the wussification of sports and America. And it was better back in the day when, you know, you punished your kids on the field by withholding water.

Water for the week. Yeah. Just ridiculous. It's like, let's evolve a little bit as people and realize that that is just not the way to treat people, period. But especially once you get out of high school and college and you're part of a business, you work together. These are co-employees. These are colleagues.

They should be treated as such. And if anybody, for example, like if you work for a corporation and a boss, your boss, so your head coach invariably is their boss, and you work for a corporation and a boss, your boss, so your head coach invariably is their boss, and you work for this company called the National Football League, and one of the bosses talks to you that way and treats you like that, that guy's going to be gone. You're going to have witnesses that heard it that will back you up, and those people are going to lose their jobs.

It's unacceptable. I'm not saying there's never a time for a coach to get fiery, and if he senses, hey, this is just a half-assed slapdick practice today and he wants to call everybody to the 50 and yell. But I don't think you can do it every day and I don't think you can do it to your quarterback. A young quarterback trying to figure out the NFL, I think telling him you suck every day, that is not going to work. No, it's not. It's a confidence-based position. It grinds your psyche down, too, to be exposed to that kind of toxicity. It's funny, too, because he asked, of course, Brian Flores is in Minnesota now, and they ran right to him, and were like, hey, what'd they do? What'd you think about this?

Did you hear this? And he handled it well, but I feel like he was taking a backhanded shot at Tua because he's like, yeah, you know, I mean, I hear the criticism and the way that I've tried to live is that, you know, when, when someone criticizes me, I learned from it and get better. It's kind of like, it felt like the subtext was unlike this pussy. I did it because that's the way you get better. He ran and cried about it. Alright, Blake.

You know what's next? Do you want to do this? Yes. That was pretty smooth. I'm serious. Obviously, Dan out today. So in his stead,

I will try to do my best to read some of your viewer mail. A little less music. Perfect. Thanks. 29 years old today was not woken up in that special way for the first time in five years. He's now 0 for 1 since being engaged. So maybe that's why you were not woken up in that special way.

I was excited to fight at Fight Night last year for y'all, so I guess all the gear and training I did was for nothing. Leaders Dan, Jake, and Blake. Only request is to ask Blake if he's ever lassoed Halo 2. If not, he's mid. I guess I'm mid. I don't know what that means. Lassoed? Let's look it up.

Attached is your new porn link. Sometimes the website is down, but no ads and full HD videos. Try not to share too much to avoid shutdown. Less book talk from Barry. Legendary All Skulls On, also known as Mythic. Oh.

Yeah, no, that's a grind. I wish I wouldn't have read that. I know what that means. No. No, I've never done that. You know, it's really funny. We've had a number of people email us and say things like, hey dude, just join my VPN. And I'm like, I don't know,

man. I don't buy that you can't see what I would be. Somebody wants to share their Dropbox link. It's basically what it is. I'm like, I'm just going to have to go with a knockoff site. Yeah, I'll figure this out for myself. I don't want help from my friends. Via email.

Yeah. Well, happy birthday to that guy. Dear Dan, I'm a little behind on my listening because I'm out in Georgia celebrating my grandmother's 100th birthday. My grandma is as excellent as can be expected at 100. She took a shot of fireball at her party and had a margarita with dinner. Wow. Maybe that's the secret to a long life. Fireball at her party and had a margarita with dinner.

Wow. Maybe that's the secret to a long life. Yeah, I mean, you definitely always see the old guy who's like, yep, Dr. Pepper and a glass of whiskey a day. That's right. He's 95, but there's just something really Jimmy Buffett-y about a shot of Fireball and a margarita for dinner. Fireball's the mystery guest there for a hundred year old woman. How does she even know it exists?

I made it to a hundred. I have a snifter of fireballs the night before bed. If that was the key to life, would you do it? My half a cigarette. It's like it's every day? Shot a fireball a day? That ain't the secret, bro. That's one of her dumb great grandkids trying to be hilarious.

I'm just saying if that was, I don't know if I would do it. Let me just die at 70. The thing about the Fireball is that there's really not a way to make it taste better. Well, it tastes fine as it is. Like most booze drinks, there's something you can do to them that if you don't want it straight, you can do something to it. It's just a margarita. But Fireball, it's really... Fireball is what it is. You can do something to it. Hitch the margarita. But Fireball, it's really...

Fireball is what it is. It's basically a red hot. And you don't like that? You don't like hot cinnamon sugary crap? You know what else? Fireball's not as bad as what I'm about to tell you, but Rumpelmintz is no good unless they'd like to advertise with us.

I had a really, really bad experience with hot damn. Which is basically fireball. Yeah. It's all the same. It was a hundred proof hot damn. Yeah. You don't want to throw that up. Well, I did.

Both ways. What? Oh, no. Out of your moose butt? Yeah. Both ways. What? Oh, no.

Out of your moose butt? Yeah. And if you think it feels less hot, it doesn't. It was horrible. And your nose when you're throwing it up. It's all red and kind of viscous. That's one drink that I, from that day on, was like, I'm never, never again. And I've never really been a big fireball guy. I try to avoid the liqueurs for the most part.

They had one back in when I was younger, and it was called a Nazi from Hell. Okay. And it was three liqueurs. Not just a Nazi. He's from Hell as well. Yes, from Hell. I think that should be implied.

Right. Either you're from there or you will end up there. But it was three liqueurs combined, that should be implied right yeah you know either either from there you will end up there um but it was three liqueurs combined and it was jagermeister rumple men's and goldschlag it was those three and i think they were able to layer them so they are like the three w of the the black of the gold of the jagermeister and i guess rumple is of clear, but then the Goldschlager's a little amber, and it's got flakes of something. Yeah, a real gold.

Is it? No, now that you say that, I think we had something similar called the Four Horsemen. Yeah, yeah. I've had that. And I think they were flammable, like you could light them on fire. What were we doing?

I don't know. A beating. I don't know. To light a drink on fire. Whatever happened to just drinking because you needed to? The old-fashioned way. Instead of tricking it up. Rich also says, if we ever need an expert on having a centenarian grandparent, just give him a call.

No. Okay. Uncle Hotmail, today is my Lyndon B. Johnson birthday. More importantly, my birth date is Aikman Emmett Irvin, 8-22-88. Isn't that neat? No. This is never going to stop, by the way, is it? Probably not.

No, because we... Who started this? If there was a complaint box about the dumb zone... It would be overflowing with this bit. I think it might be yeah more danny bayless from jt oh this email he also said more blake but blake didn't want to read it i'm looking at it leave the curtain closed we don't know what dan's doing over there he could have had a million more dance all right right, this email. You're a big S.H.I.E.L.D. guy, right?

Yeah, I love the S.H.I.E.L.D. Groundbreaking television. Without the S.H.I.E.L.D., there's no Mayor of Kingstown and many other shows. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's a top three for me. Yep. Dear Uncle Slam Clam,

I recently started watching The S.H.I.E.L.D. based on Jake's relentless worship of the show. I feel you would appreciate that midway through the fourth season. I'm prepared to make a declaration. This is the best TV show I've ever seen. Thanks for the rec. From D.F. Tucker. I think season four, is it Glenn Close? I don't know, but that's when things really start heating up.

Yeah. How many did it go? Six or seven? Well, if you remember, it got real funky because of the the writer's strike they had an abbreviated split i think yeah like six was basically 6.1 and 6.2 i think and they were like four or five each which sucked because then you had to after a month wait another 10 months but i know five was cavanaugh, Forrest Whitaker. And man, if you go, where this guy is watching it now, that is like the best work

that Anthony Anderson has ever done. Antoine was awesome. He was. He was so good. Remember when he stood on Shane's throat? Yeah, I do.

And he said, from now on, when I say to you, suck my dick, you're going to say, you want me to lick your balls too, daddy? As he's just standing on Shane's neck with a gun in his head. Yeah. You work for me now, cop. I'm like, how is this on regular television?

Or cable, but I mean, it wasn't like, at that time, I don't feel like FX had started going that hard. No, what years? Oh, that's a like FX had started going that hard. No. What years? Oh, that's a better Danny question. Oh, God. The Shield? Mid-2000s. Early 2000s, I think. That's one that I know that I've done one rewatch on from start to finish.

Have you done it recently? It's been a while. I have done one rewatch, and I tried to get my wife to watch it with me, which would have been the third time for me. And I think she would really like it. But it's definitely super high-T. And if you're trying to sell a female on the show, the first episode, which in the gear-up scene,

we all know what I mean, right? Yeah. There's always a scene in movies and TV shows where everybody's got to get the gear. It's time to put the bulletproof vest on. Sure, sure. Wim's got the shotgun. SWAT van.

Yeah, they hop in the van, and it's a badass gear up scene, and Ba with the Ba is playing in a very loud voice. Fuck yes. And so they're just like cruising through l.a and it's just this is you know and i try she that's where she bailed she was like there's no way you expect me to like this yeah i'm gonna go back to the morning show it's basically that show was basically like scooby-doo meets the a-team and then add a shitload of crystal meth on it

right they were there to solve mystery yeah it's just they had a different way of going about it both of those shows had vans yeah an ensemble cast people that drove around in these vans the a team you know former whatever special ops guys these because in both cases you're getting the best. Right. No doubt. And for Tucker, you should also know, if you've probably heard me mention this, if you've been listening, based very much on a true story. You know what it looks like, though, compared to now? I bet if you were to do a rewatch in 2024 of The Shield, I bet the writing and the acting is still pretty good. But I bet there's been such an evolution in that genre that it'll look somewhat dated.

It does. And a lot of the stuff, you'll be like, ooh, that's not as good as I thought it was, and I bet it looks really low budget. It's pretty low budget. And they were also one of the first shows that started doing, like, shake camera. Yeah, handheld.

Yeah, which was really, really groundbreaking at the time. But it also kind of looks cheap now. Great show, handheld. Yeah, which was really, really groundbreaking at the time. But it also kind of looks cheap now. Great show, though. That was good viewer mail, dude. Are you done? That's where my document ends. We can stop if you want. I have more here.

Go ahead. Okay. I also wanted to include, Tucker said, if you guys ever need an expert in the field of federal healthcare planning and architecture, feel free to give him a call. This another bit danny is that people offering their expertise yeah we'll talk about something bumble left our way through it which is kind of the whole point of the show and somebody emails and i'm like uh dude email me next time i'm a climatologist i'm like no well it's because people got mad at us because we didn't know what the heat dome was.

Some guy emailed and said, hey, if you actually want an expert, call me. I'm like, no. It's the name of this fucking show. Anytime we talk about money, some guy's like, dude, I work in stock market. Email me before next time. If you really want to know what blockchain is, give me a call. No. We're never going to do it.

Because if you actually called these people and became educated You'd have to change the name of your show Yeah and then there'd be no use for us But then it would just be a call a guide zone Like we don't know anything Like we just know people that know stuff Greetings Gash brothers Today is my brother's

Brother Nathan's 39th birthday The one who has been known to Venmo Y'all $1 for coffee every day. And he actually does. Okay. I think we're up to like 50 bucks from this guy. $1 at a time. Okay.

So happy birthday, Nathan. Love, JB. Some follow-up emails here. Just wanted to welcome Jake to the club. What club, you may ask? Well, that would be the club of the condom crooks. Because Jake told the story the other day about how he got caught stealing condoms from the store. It's the only time I've ever stolen anything.

Yeah? Cheyenne goes to say they got busted, taken to the police station. And when the father showed up, they said, oh, you're the dad to the condom crooks. I wonder if Chey she was a male or female i kind of hope female it makes the dad thing a lot more uncomfortable but yeah yeah it's tough the only thing you've ever stolen is rubbers uh pretty much we all kind of did the bit when we worked at a grocery store where it's like you know what i'm just gonna grab some microwavable mac and cheese and take it to the back. Like when you were on the clock, you know, you grab a donut.

Yeah. When it's super late at night, you're, you know, the night shift, you would just do whatever. Well, the guys that I lived with in the apartment across from the stop and go, we had a fucking crime ring right in that place. Yeah. I was always scared of that, man. Like I had friends who would do the beer run and I'm like, dude, I ain't touching that. We renamed it Stop and Steal. Okay. okay that's funny i'm not proud of it he was 18 you know and you're living with a bunch of knuckleheads in your dirt poor starving so yeah you would you know lift a

like you said box of mac and cheese yeah maybe uh one of the the four pack magazines at the front sure why not yeah last one here hello titans of the gash for those at the front. Sure, why not? Last one here. Hello, Titans of the Gash. For those who aren't aware of pre-Vietnam War era football conferences, Tech, Arizona, and Arizona State were once conference mates in the Border Conference. Of course, Arizona and Arizona State, now the Big 12 with Texas Tech. I thought it was odd that Tech and ASU were in the same conference from 1932 through 1956,

but never played each other until 1999. I've never heard a group of words assembled in a more boring fashion than this email. I was trying. I was fighting hard to stay engaged. All right. That's the foundation. It's going to pick up here. Basically, they were in the same conference and never played each other.

And he's about to explain why. Okay. Okay. Can't wait. Buckle up. Hey hey should we hold this over like all right let me uh i'll just skip ahead basically asu refused refused to play tech on any field as long as tech didn't allow black players to play varsity ah i think there's been a couple of instances of stuff

like that from that era where a team was like, we just won't play them until you integrate. So whenever you see Arizona State and Texas Tech play each other, just think about that. You know what's kind of interesting is I've always associated those two. I'd have to actually watch Texas Tech and Arizona State play each other. Hey, you better look out for Tech this year. Okay. Look out for how?

You know what's funny, though? How am I going to look out for them? I know that ASU is a more high-rent school than Tech, but in my mind, they've always kind of been distant cousins. The same. Like way too over-the-top party scene. Yeah. In both places.

Both very dry. You know? Not like good at football, but kind of around. I always thought of like Texas tech. Did you go to tech? No. Okay, good.

I always thought of tech as like grade 13. I can't say anything. I mean, I went to Texas state. Uh-huh. So I have no room to talk. Yeah. That was like post high school detention.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey. Well, there's your mail school detention. Yeah. Hey. Well, there's your mail. Okay. That's good. You know, I got two guys, Sean Payton and Mike Zimmer.

You got to keep an eye on those two. Because they're going to try to get the upper hand on. Mike wants the defense to do well. And Sean, he's going to have a few, no disrespect to the Orientals, but what we call Jap plays, okay, surprise things. And no disrespect to anyone. But, you know, you've got to watch them because they'll sabotage each other. You're listening to The Dumb Zone.

Are you guys prepared for the 2024 Olympic Games? Dan, where are you? Yeah, Paris. That's right. Dan was just there. That's the only reason he goes there. I saw so many Olympics. I'm glad they're doing it in a major city.

If you were there, you'd have been like, oh, man, that's great. Yeah, because sometimes they do it in like white settlement. Well, or they'll do it in... Yeah, this time they've chosen a city we were... No puppet! Not even one day off, huh? No, of course not. That's the problem with...

It's the perfect punctuator. You media types. You take something completely out of context and you blow it up to appear to be something that it wasn't intended to be. You know, we do it for clicks. Clickbait. You were just admiring our studio.

Yeah, I was. I love that you guys are so, I don't know, adamant about never forgetting. Yeah. A lot of reminders. Some people not so much. Lots of reminders. Big day coming up.

You know what? I didn't forget that. It's a couple of weeks. You got time to get ready. Oh, I'm ready. What are you going to do to celebrate? I'm ready. Ready?

Oh, I'm ready. What are you going to do to celebrate? I'm ready. Well, there have been talks of us going to Mesa, the fine Tex-Mex establishment in Grapevine, and having a listener meetup and doing a big group photo in front of the 9-11 Memorial, which is curiously out front of that restaurant. The Mexican restaurant. I drive by it almost every day and every time.

Is it delicious? Yeah, it is. But every time I salute the memorial. You don't salute the memorial, Jake. All right, let's find out what is happening today in Twitter. We're at an open. The Dumb Zone presents Today in Twitter. All right, so this first one, I'm very confused by the world in general,

but by the world of the streamer. Okay. Like I'll randomly see something on Twitter that ends up in my feed, and I'll click on some guy I've never heard of or some lady I've never heard of's YouTube channel, and they have 38 million views and 800,000 subscribers, and they're everywhere. Is that me? No, that's me.

Sorry. I was going to Twitch just to see what people were watching today. He watches people play video games during the show sometimes. No, that's only on Halo tournaments. Like this guy. This guy's a streamer. He's just chatting. He thought what you were saying was so boring that he wanted to pop up some australian rules football yeah i just wanted to see what people are watching just

like even just chatting like yeah a hundred thousand viewers there was there was like a dude who played in the uh celebrity all-star game this year and like all the nba players knew who he was and he just plays video games online there's a ton of them and they make a ton of money obviously there's like mr beast who made something like 25 million in a year the paul brothers it's very confusing to me well not to mention all of the the kids programming like watching yeah watching little kids unbox toys yeah i haven't got there yet i'm hoping to never get there we avoid it but nora wants to be one yeah i played you've heard that audio haven't you she wants to be what uh she thinks a streamer yeah i bet i could find it for you here pretty quick before we do the video but she

how you set it up was just anytime she sees a phone recording she assumes she's on youtube yeah because she's seen other kids on YouTube and she knows how they talk. So when we were in California, her mom was filming her learning to swim. And at the end of the video, she would just say stuff like this. Oh, well, that's not going to work, is it?

What's the matter? Well, I'm trying to play it from dropbox rather than play it from danny i didn't ask for this you volunteered it i'll get it what is it this one thank you for watching my video subscribe and type for my name if you want to watch more of my video. Bye. Yeah. But what my name is, it's Nora. Can you spell Nora with me? N-O-R-A. Nora.

Bye. See you soon for my next video. Bye. Bye. I love that. She's kind of like giving you a content timestamp. I know. On the end of every video so you know what you've watched. I guess she's seeing kids on there that are just helping you spell.

My name is... Smash that like button. Katie. And then they read that one. Which one did you just play, Blake? Two or three? Two. All right, so here's three.

Thank you for watching my videos. Subscribe and all of you who want to watch my videos there's this summer one spring one's winters these are all my videos subscribe if you want to subscribe if you want to unfortunately that's kind of our mantra too that's why we're stagnant yeah just I don't know subscribe if you want to i guess so uh this story's a couple weeks old but um there was a kid on youtube he has 1.2 million followers and a lot of times these guys are like in a uh like a little collective you know like they'll have a house. This kid was from Australia. He streamed himself staying awake for over 10 days. And it got so bad.

It was something like 248 hours. God bless. And it got so bad that at about day seven or eight, Twitch took down the stream because it was apparent that there was a chance he was going to die. How was he staying awake? Drug free or? I didn't watch it. I know he had like some,

he had Coca-Cola. There was a guy there too. But he wasn't like on meth or anything. I don't think so. There was a guy holding him up, like smacking him, like keeping him awake. Yeah, because.

It was insane. I think the video I smacking him, like keeping him awake. Yeah, because. It was insane. I think the video I have is at the very end of it, if you want to play the video here real quick. And you can kind of get a look for how close to being dead this guy was at like 10 days. Five, four, three, two, one. Beat it. He can barely. The guy on the left? Yeah.

That's him with this weird hoodie like and he's clenching his jaw and he's kind of rocking back and forth um people who were watching it were saying like he lost the ability to read whoa he was having trouble standing and he just was like he couldn't speak anymore so they're trying to talk to him, and it's just complete gibberish. And, yeah. So he claims that he set this world record, but the worst thing about it is that after he posted it, a bunch of people were like, you know, the world record's actually like eight hours longer.

It was set. Oh, no. Eight hours longer? Yeah, I think Oh, no. Eight hours longer? Yeah, I think that's right. He looks like he could have made it. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, like I said, they shut down the live stream. Is he going to try again?

At one point. I very seriously doubt it. But, you know, the platform is like, look, we can't just have you die on here. I mean, is there a precedent set that staying up multiple days like that can kill you? I think so. And how does it happen? That I don't know. Maybe we'll have a contact in tomorrow's mailbag.

Yeah, it does say here, Norm did the attempt with no stimulants. So no caffeine, no nothing. Just people helping slap the shit out of him every hour. Yeah, I think Blake's right. It's like his brother, there's a bunch of videos of them just shaking him. And a bunch of medical professionals obviously were weighing in like, dude, this is... So when I started reading about

this i read a bunch of people were posting about it that had insomnia and they said that when they stayed awake for six or seven days that the after effects did not wear off for years really yeah so there are and they still like they can't sleep normally because even worse than it was before because there's a lingering effect yeah so he also did a sleep stream right after this yeah i think he may have like 36 hours or something he slept for 38 hours yeah straight yes did he wear a diaper i don't think so but he said he woke up and the skin on his hands were peeling i don't know why because he was probably dehydrated yeah and you've got dead skin But he said he woke up and the skin on his hands were peeling. I don't know why.

It's just dead skin. Because he was probably dehydrated. Yeah, and you've got dead skin coming off of you all the time, as gross as it is. And so if you're just like not moving for three days. 38 hours. For two and a half days. How long can you survive without water? It's about three days, I think, right? God, this is crazy.

What an idiot. It's about three days, I think, right? God, this is crazy. What an idiot. Well, speaking of idiots, I'm a sucker for a good fans in the stands fight. Ah, Padre Nation. Feels like it's really, really popular in the NFL. You know, every sport has them.

You don't really see them in basketball that much. It was the Suns and Four guy that got clocked. But for the most part, it feels like the NFL and MLB. And I've loved Dallas Texas TV's account for one main reason, and it's for Monday mornings. To just see. Weekend Dallas fight roundup. Yeah. And it's to see, you know, hey, did these Cowboys fans fight each other? Did they fight a rival fan? We got to go to the tail of the tape.

So this is two guys in a Padres game in the last day or so. And it's hilarious because the guy who eventually loses is moving like he thinks he's Muhammad Ali. But the other guy I'm pretty sure can fight. He looked like he had pretty good fight experience. Yeah. The way he was moving just looked real, where the other guy kind of looked like Looney Tunes. So I wanted to play this for the video crowd

and get everyone's reaction. Got the wife beater on. He's giving him the shoulder move. Shoulder. Shoulder move. So he's like, hit me in the face. Hit me in the mouth. You'll never.

What's up? Now he wants to come closer. And there it is. There it is. And another one. Real poorly. Oh, yeah. Ouch. That duck right there was smooth.

Yeah. The guy who wins this one. This guy's clearly he's not mma or boxer or something now the guy's face is all bloody and he still has because he's like ripped and the other guy isn't so he thinks he can just square up that one's really funny because it doesn't work that way not anymore no it doesn't that's why you don't mouth off to anybody because the popularity of this, you never know who has that skill. Yep.

They could look like anything. There's a guy, a bartender buddy of mine, that he's probably my age. He's early, mid-50s. And the most unassuming dude in the world. But I don't know a person in my circle of friends that would not get absolutely fucked up by this guy if they decided to cross him. And he's the

sweetest because he's highly trained. And if you give him a hug, you're like, oh crap. He doesn't look ripped, but he's just hard as a rock. You can just feel it when you give the guy your bro hug. It's like, Jesus, dude.

That was my second favorite type of fan fight, that being two people on different rows. That's always a super unstable look. That's one of the first fights I can remember where the guy that had the upper row lost. Yeah, yeah. Lower ground guys typically get rocked. But yeah, the fact that they're on different rows

and separated by the seats there. The guy that's beating the shit out of him is wearing a t-shirt with some type of Asian graphic, Asian-inspired graphic on the back. It's something karate-ish. Like a dojo. It looks like, yeah, or the nearby hibachi restaurant.

One or the other. Either way. Now that's my second favorite type. My favorite, though, and this happens a lot in football games, is the concourse fight. Because what typically happens there is a bunch of drinks get spilled. So now, mid-fight, it's like everyone's on ice skates. And, you know, a woman's grabbing another woman's hair,

but then she slips like it's a banana peel. Those are great as well. I love when the weave gets ripped out too. Classic. That's always a treat, especially when they hold it up, like they just scout them. It's like Mortal Kombat. All right, that's today in Twitter.

Up next, Blake is... How about this? Here's Jay with the Dumb Zone News. And the Dumb Zone News today, Danny, is brought to you by Early Bird CBD. Now let me tell you something, okay?

So now to the news. Let's go to my stack here. Look at your graphic. It's pretty sweet, right? Who did that? Rob, did you do that? We got a guy. You got a guy?

Wow. Yeah, we have a team of assassins. It's like MSNBC quality, Jay. By the way, speaking of having a guy, the song at the end of yesterday's podcast is exceptional. That's a Brent Crable production. Somebody wrote a song basically advertising a new product that is just a dumb zone dental dam. Yeah, I think that was great. That ended up in my Dropbox somehow.

It's fantastic. I can't play it, though. So this Uber driver story is like the wildest thing I've heard locally here in some time. Are you aware? The guy that is an Arlington Uber driver and trying to go cross country for some reason? Well, he was he picked up. This happened back on August 16th and is about 1030 at night. He picks up a driver who hailed the Lyft in Arlington. I guess it's Lyft driver, not Uber.

Guy was trying to said he needed to go to the gas station. When they get to the gas station, the writer, I love this when they use this word in journalism, produced a gun and chambered around and basically told the guy like, hey, we're not stopping here. And the driver is trying to say like, hey, I'll give you whatever you want. Take the car.

Take, you know, it's very similar to the famous country song, Don't Take the Girl. Take Jimmy Johnson. Yeah, he was offering a lot. But the guy was like, yeah, I'm taking all your shit, and we're driving to Florida. Why wouldn't they just take the car? Take the car.

I have no idea. Because then you have a dude that can report you and give the details of the car, I guess. Yeah, that's a good point. I don't know why I didn't immediately think of that. He probably just didn't want to drive. And there's that. That's also probably.

Maybe he had some reading to catch up on. So they drive all the way to Florida. Like straight? I think so, yeah. I mean, they had to get gas. They did have to get gas, but apparently, according to the affidavit, the guy made it pretty clear that any funny business is going to end up with you dead. So I don't know if the guy goes in with him if he has to pee or something and just stands at the door like hey

you know this is how this is going to go do you think you would have been able to get out of this well here's jake's stance jake doesn't think he could be kidnapped or held hostage because he would be too annoying to deal with. I have an announcement to make. Well, it depends if he's drinking or not. If he's drinking, yes, definitely. I am. He will annoy you into releasing him. If sober, love him.

I have to say that I think I might have to walk that back at this advanced age. Really? I do think that kidnapping me would be pretty easy these days. You don't think you have to fight anymore? No. However, I'm going to stand by the fact that I don't think anybody would want to keep me hostage for that long. I think they would just kill me. I really do think I would be an annoying enough captee or whatever.

Just reaches over and opens the passenger door. It's kind of, get out! Yeah. I won't leave the ox alone when the guy's like, it's newfound glory. Haven't heard this in years. Keep hijacking his Apple Play. Yeah. I'm doing joke airdrops to his

phone with my dick. I remember that age. Yeah. I'm doing joke airdrops to his phone. Like my dick. I remember that. I remember that age. Yeah. So the story got even crazier. They did make it all the way to Miami Beach after two days. So what was the purpose of the trip? The guy was going to go kidnap someone else for $3 million in ransom.

And they had been surveilling this victim, a potential second victim. So that's on August 18th, two days in. The third day, this is where it ends, the driver asked him to, or the writer asked the driver to go to the Dollar General store in Hialeah, Florida, to buy supplies for the second kidnapping.

What? Like what? I don't know. I mean, they have like ramen. Tape. I seriously doubt they have like what you would need if you were a real hitman or something. Are you a frequent shopper of Dollar General? I used to be. Dollar Tree? I haven't been in some time.

I heard that they kind of are playing fast and loose with the whole dollar thing more often these days. I've been to. Biden stickers everywhere. I did this. I've been to Only 99 Cents. That's the only one that I've been to. I think it's called Only 99 Cents. I think I've seen that.

Yeah. It used to be over on Gaston or Live Oak. And yeah, not everything was only $0.99. There was some shit in there that was like $4. Mm-hmm. Well, it was $3.99. They don't look like organization and cleanliness is a top priority on their list of things to do. I had a friend who worked there, can confirm your suspicion.

I had a buddy, Blake. You had a buddy? Dollar there, can confirm your suspicion. I had a buddy, Blake. You had a buddy? Dollar General. Made a mental note. Okay, so they get to... Could I get out of it? So they go to the Dollar General, and the guy, the driver, goes to the bathroom. Now, why he was able to get to the bathroom here as opposed to somewhere else,

but he gets to the bathroom and I guess is able to notify the authorities. And the guy just leaves in the car. The rider steals it, and they catch him several hours later. It's like he was going to leave him there anyway. Yeah, I don't know. Without knowing the specifics, I'm not sure if I can assess my confidence that I would have been able to get out. My thought would be that I could just, while in the bathroom,

at some point, or is he in the bathroom at some point. Or is he sleeping or something at some point? There's got to be some avenue, I would think. But I also don't want to die. Yeah. I definitely would be strategizing how I would get out of it and then probably never act on it. Why were they surveilling the second potential kid kidnap victim that's who he was going to kidnap and hold for a three million dollar ransom but it doesn't say who that person was surveilling

her police weren't no so he never made it to her they saw her uh-huh and the next day went to dollar general and were like we can get this done now we watched her yesterday okay so once he leaves the the original uber or lift driver at the Dollar General, he takes off to go get the girl, I guess? I think he just took off. He just said, fuck it? Yeah. Okay.

And eventually was tracked down. What a horrible plan. It doesn't sound great. All of this. I mean, I feel like at a bare minimum, you have to already have all of the supplies. You got nothing done, and you wasted everybody's time. You brought a gun. Good thinking there.

That's about as far as it went. But I think past that, you know, handcuffs maybe? That lift charge has got to be $10,000. Yeah, I hope the guy gets to collect on it. That would suck. Do you think they tipped him? I think I've had better planning when with a group of friends where at 2 in the morning somebody says, Hey, let's go to Shreveport.

Dude, I was 100% about to bring up because I knew that that had happened. And I know other people in your friend group. That's been planned better than this caper. One of them in particular. I'm pretty sure Soroy's also done it with this person. What's that? Let's drive to Shreveport. Barlet's out at 2 a.m. and it's, let's get an Uber to Shreveport. Shreveport. Now you don't have to go that far. You can do the hour and whatever, 15. North. Yeah. Yeah. Norte. But yeah, Shreveport used to be,'t have to go that far. You can do the hour and whatever 15. North. Yeah. Norte. But yeah Shreveport

used to be and that was two and a half three hours man. And somebody's driving that trip. And how are you staying awake? Like you've been at the bar for several hours. Dude it's a fucking terrible idea by Tyler. Yeah by Tyler you're asleep. No. But then you rationalize it. Oh it's

too. We've already come this far why do we turn around we could drink a red bull and just get right back on it and then when you get there the last thing you want to do is drink more right you don't want to gamble but you find a way to push through and you do it anyway it's the stupidest i who came up with this who came up with 2 a.m let's go to shreveport know Soroy was around, so you can start piecing it together if you want. And you pull into Shreveport, it stinks, it's all downtrodden. Right. It makes you want to go to bed.

We have some food news for you. One of them that Danny alerted me to, the legendary Chewy's location is leaving McKinney Avenue for the east side. Got that article up? Yeah. How many years were they there, Knox Henderson? 31. 31. Okay.

All right. So there are a ton of Chewy's all over, I guess, Texas now. It was an Austin company. The initial restaurant was in Austin, and I believe their third location was that exact Knox-Henderson location. So when they opened their third restaurant, they put it at Knox-Henderson 31 years ago. And I guess as part of a deal, some big blockbuster real estate acquisition, commercial real estate acquisition, that place was bought. estate acquisition commercial real estate acquisition that place was bought and rather than going out they're going up as everything happens when you get close to downtown so i think they're turning that either they're going to raise it and turn it into a high rise or my favorite word

mixed use yeah by the way fuck mixed juice i'm so tired of it i'm so tired of i don't even really fully know what it means. What it is is we're going to put... Some apartments, but there's a coffee shop. At the bottom floor is commerce. You know, cleaners. A coffee shop. A laundromat. Not a laundromat, but you know, something on the restaurant.

I mean, it feels like just a gentrified term for how cities have been forever. I know. I know. Has anybody ever been to, like, New York? Did they use the term? Well, that was by necessity. Yeah. It had to be that way because you were on a fucking island. Yeah. There was nowhere else to go.

We have options because we live in the biggest state in the continental U.S. You can spread out. But now they're trying to make everything go up and be like a big boy city. Anyway, they're moving this location, the Chewy's Knox Henderson location. And I believe this is happening sometime in May, early May. April 2025. Okay, April. Almost May.

They're moving it to the old Desert Racer spot on lowest Greenville. Now that place, I guess they gave up operations within the last fiscal year and it's been available. And I guess Chewy's gobbled that up and they're going to just move their operations over to that location but the thing that i found was interesting and kind of cool is they're not going to shut down nox henderson and then start on the new one they're going to go ahead and keep their business open until the new one's ready so they can take all of their employees if they want to go over to that new location so i think there'll be like a week or two latency to do the full move i'm sure there's kitchen equipment and things of that nature that need to be transported or transferred over to that, the new location. But yeah, man, that look,

I there's, is there better Tex-Mex in town? Sure. But that's, that's a long standing kind of a legendary spot. It's iconic. And that location is iconic and it was great. I love going,

going in there and I don't know, it just felt old. It felt like it had been there a long time. And I hope this works out because that location that they're moving to, that Desert Racer location, that's kind of been, that area in general over there hasn't been great for sustaining restaurant businesses and bars and stuff and whatnot. A graveyard, if you will. Kind of.

And you also know that when you move a business like that that's been around for three decades plus, is it going to retain the same vibe and atmosphere and charm that the old – no, that it typically doesn't happen. A little bit more food news here. Food! Which, I get why these stories get written. Evan Grant will write one every year.

This would be the 23 new foods at Cowboys games for the upcoming season. I think this is a Sarah Blazkowicz article. Yeah, she tends to be the one on this beat. She's great. I think she usually does it with Evan also. She's usually at the Rangers. I actually interned for her many, many, many years ago at Pegasus News. Oh, you interned for Sarah? Yeah. You remember Pegasus News. Oh, you interned for Sarah? Yeah. Wow. You remember Pegasus News? I do. It was the most beaten internship you can possibly imagine.

If you think you have it bad, Rachel, I would literally have to call, like, I don't know. There would be, I had to go to, like, an art gallery and try to write about it. There would be, like, a tree that was going to get cut down that was really old. Some people in a Dallas neighborhood were mad about it. I had to call them and get quotes.

Just a bunch of stuff I could not have given less of a shit about. City council meetings. Oh yeah. Did some council meetings. Really? Yeah. Even worse, the city council meetings are like Watchdog Jake Kemp. Can you imagine something worse? Try. Because meetings are like watchdog Jake Kemp. Even worse, can you imagine something worse? Try, because it's like a zoning meeting.

I'm just like, dude, what are we doing? Specific use permit approval hearings. That's right. Well, the one that they're leading with here, and I think for good reason, because I've been staring at the photo for about 20 minutes now. The top picture? The top picture, yes. which is the pizza burger it's a 16 ounce burger so so let me i mean that's already huge like a double quarter pounder yeah at mcdonald's that is a big burger yeah and that's a half a pound yeah this is a full pound

full pound of beef so when you say pizza burger you might think okay so it's a half a pound yeah this is a full pound full pound of beef so when you say pizza burger you might think okay so it's a hamburger and then they put instead of uh american cheese they use mozzarella and instead of mustard they use marinara marinara sauce and maybe they add a large slice of salami or pepperoni or something yeah no no no no no this is a fucking pizza burger it's a pizza with a hamburger inside of it Yes They essentially just said what sucks about burgers And they said the buns aren't pizza

They just were like well They took a small pizza And put it on top As the top bun of a hamburger, a small pepperoni pizza. And the bottom one. Yeah, but I'm sure if you flip that over, there's not cheese and pepper. That's just like a bready, crusty thing. But the top bun has mozzarella cheese, sauce, and pepperoni.

This reminds me of that Double Down where it was the chicken. The bun was the chicken. Oh, yeah. I had a lot of those. You had Double Downs? where it was a chicken. The bun was the chicken. Oh, yeah. It was a KFC. Had a lot of those. You had double downs? It was two chicken breasts that were the bun. Okay, so if the chicken's the bun, what's in the middle?

Not bread. Cheese and bacon. Cheese and bacon. Yeah. Okay. Have you described a bad part yet? Because I just hear awesome. I don't know.

The coronary problems? The triple bypass? When I was 19,. I don't know. The coronary problems? The triple bypass? When I was 19, I didn't really care. Double Down had 950 calories. Look at that. There it is. Oh, yeah. I forgot they put mayo on it, too.

It's mayonnaise, two pieces of fried chicken, at least two slices of some form of processed cheese, and bacon. It reminds me, both of these, of Taco Town. All of it. Everything's Taco Town. And it gets even awesomer. Yes.

The world is idiocracy. Yeah. And every restaurant is Taco Town. Yeah. Sound for pound, the funniest thing in the world is Taco Town. So I'll get it. A tote bag filled with spicy salsa they would just dump salsa in their bag it had everything i'll i'll admit i'm there it is i'm

sports mayor i'll admit it i love sports it's worth but they're not they're not debuting stuff like this at a book signing or an art gallery it's just for idiots like us that go to sporting events that's true. Hey, you're the type of person that'll like pizza and a burger and the same thing. I mean, these are our people. If I go to a game this year, I gotta do it. No, you're not.

Yeah. No way. Oh, I'm sure it's the highest quality pizza and hamburger that you buy at a freaking sporting event. Yes. It's the same cheap... Usually most of these things... Oh, it's going to be

$46. That's true. $46. Is it really $46? That's my best guess. This one doesn't have a price in here, but you're probably not far off. The stories my dad used to tell me about when he had friends that worked in fast food like a friend who worked at bell or a friend who worked at bueno and when they'd close and you

know him and his buddies would go up there and see their friends that worked there and just like the crazy shit they would come up with it wasn't on the menu yeah yeah that's what every one of these feel like to me like you just work at a fast food place, and you're like, watch this. After hours. You will never put this on the menu. Your after hours stoner employees off-menu items. They have multiple types of Flamin' Hot Fritos tacos. Flamin' Hot Fritos Tacos.

Some of them are kind of basic. I mean, for comparison's sake. There's a buffalo chicken sandwich, which will put Flamin' Hot barbecue ruffles on it. I've always been a big chip on a sandwich guy, so some of this speaks to me. The Fritos Sundae. It's exactly what it sounds like. It's ice cream. It's ice cream with chocolate sauce and sprinkles and a cherry.

And it's plopped on a bowl of Fritos. Is that a salty sweet thing? Yeah. I don't know if I could... But Flamin' Hot Fritos. Not just your regular fritos original flavor and you're supposed to be eating this while watching micah parsons get a sack on third down yeah i need fuel for my concourse fight and i'm gonna get into 20 minutes after i polish off my

pizza burger like a real american oh i don't get it't get it. It's like your life isn't stupid enough that you spent all that money to go watch a football game. You got to park. Let's eat all this shit. And I'm going to be real judgy here and say that the type of people who can pay to go to a cowboy game and also like comfortably afford a $40 pizza burger they're not the type of people who will eat it no it's true it's just if it's probably a more middle to lower class type set that's like Danny said already spent a thousand dollars to go to a cowboy game and they're like yeah I mean give me the frito sundae yeah these guys are eating the pizza burger yeah i mean it's the guys from the padres fight it's the novelty of it right

it's not it's not that this stuff looks good or even tastes good or is a particularly good idea it's the fact that oh we're at a cowboy game hey you guys want to get that pizza burger yeah man do it let's do it let's just try it and that's definitely the case with the boomstick like that was created so you could take a photo with it yeah at rangers games that's the reason and then i have one more here uh danny i know you've certainly about it is little john announced georgia yep and and tim walls was supposed to be good last night i didn't i haven't seen anything i think tonight you'll get pink uh-huh and the artist formerly known as the Dixie Chicks. They're just the chicks.

They flipped? Yeah. They've been flipped for a long time. I mean, they flipped because they never really were, right? People just thought that because they're country music. But, I mean, when they got completely blackballed by the industry for taking a shot at the war in Iraq. Yeah. So we were joking about the Lil Jon thing

because the Republican National Convention seems so insane with Kid Rock and with Hulk Hogan. And I just love that the Democratic Party, I won't even say the left because it's not the real left, right? Or correct? They try to present themselves as the more high-minded mm-hmm literary group and then they've got little John

and they're playing I saw some videos that looked like they were made by like DJ Steve Porter the guy who used to make those videos for ESPN, where they had like basically auto-tuned Kamala talking to Brett Kavanaugh during his hearing. And it's like him saying, um, but it's like, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um. And I'm like, what the fuck? What are we doing? Well, the lead story out of last night was that I guess at a little post-convention soiree, the potential future first gentleman, Dougie Doug himself, I don't know how much you've spent thinking about Doug Imhoff and how awesome his life is about to be.

I mean, he just gets to chill. He won't have to do anything. You're talking about her husband? Yeah. Like, if he becomes... That'll be the first time that you've ever just had a dude and you can just, like, watch movies. My idea, which I presented on It's Just Banter a few weeks ago,

was, you know, usually the first lady typically gets, like, a pet project slash issue. Yeah, or a fundraiser or some type of. So the Laura Bush was stoked on reading. Nancy Reagan was drugs. Yep. And for example, Michelle Obama was like fitness. You know, work out 30 minutes a day.

Nutrition labels. Yeah. My idea, hear me out. Doug Imhoff leans hard into bringing paintball back to the mainstream in this country paintball you miss paintball don't you so bad yeah so bad

but like he seems like a type of guy who would be like yeah sure this looks cool and they would have commercials where they're getting the youth out to get active via paintball, of course. If I'm the first, what do they call him, the first man? He'll be the first gentleman.

The first gentleman? Yeah. All right. If I were married and my wife became president and I was the first man, come to me and try to pitch me on some extracurricular activity, and I'll tell you how I would react to it. Hey, first man, I have a couple ideas for you, how you could spend your time in your new role.

Yeah, what do you got? Well, I was thinking paintball. Yeah, fuck that shit. I'm doing nothing. That's how I react. That's my answer to all of them. Sir, we need to get these kids off of screens and maybe play with their friends a little more outside. No.

No. We need to instill a mandatory resource or something. You didn't hear me with the paintball guy. Fuck that shit. That's my answer. We have 90 days here to come up with something. He didn't marry President Kamala, okay? So this wasn't part of the deal.

He married whatever, lawyer Kamala. Yeah. He didn't see this in his future. So anything that they come at me with, if I'm her husband, I'm like, no. I do. I'm sorry. The thing I like just because. Sir, we have this exciting tour.

Yeah, fuck that shit. That's the answer for all of it i just think it would be funny that you just fly to washington to do this kind of thing paintball is kind of a stand-in for this but i just think it'd be really funny if he just started like just fucking around like yeah right he just bits just binging tv shows and then posting like twitter videos like in a robe where he's like yeah i just finished jogan like he's aggressively not working he's in the sphere in vegas playing xbox yeah he rented it out yeah that's i just want him to basically be billy madison he's showing up at black tie events with her wearing a tuxedo t-shirt exactly exactly and scuba flippers yeah that's what i want well uh he made some news last

night because he was on stage like i said at a little post-convention thing is what it looks like from the video and there were some reports that he had said something on stage and i was like can anyone confirm and within about an hour the video out there. So we'll go to the video now. This guy, just watch this and tell me I couldn't sell him on paintball. But we got to turn this enthusiasm into action. We better turn it into votes. So it's the next 70 whateverwhatever-days-it-is with focus and discipline so we can elect my wife, Carmel Harris.

Number one, he sounds half-crocked. He does kind of sound half-crocked. A little wobbly, and yes, that is Borat. People tend to forget. My wife. People tend to forget in context of what the Borat bit was, when he said, my wife,

it's followed by, my wife is dead. Yeah. She died in the field. Plow accident. Or he would be talking about how she could carry lots of stuff. It was never like, oh, I love my wife. No, you're right about that.

But they have a new wife. So it's the next 70-whatever-days-it-is. We're going to focus and discipline. So we're going to let my wife talk about it. What is happening? We got a potential VP that likes making Uncle Tupelo and Wilco and Sunvolt mixtapes. And he gets Jason Isbell to come perform because he loves alt-country. Yeah, and on the other side, I've got a wrestler ripping his shirt off

while the Bar with the Bar guy shreds. We've got a president, or potential president, that is record shopping and picking out Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, and Roy Ayers, you know, rolling deep in some kick-ass music, and then the first gentleman doing a Borat impression. I just love it so much. I'm out here in these streets. What is happening. I just love it so much. I'm out here in these streets.

What is happening? I just love it so much because I imagine, even though he's really successful, he was a lawyer. I'm pretty sure he was an investment banker. Don't ask me what that actually is. I do really like the idea of her constantly having to just get on his ass when she's president of like, you don't do the Borat thing again. She constantly has to just remind him like,

we're in the public. She walks in at 1 p.m. Get out of bed. You got it. Yeah. It's covered in Cheetos. Having them fly up the pizza burger just for him. I want to try it. Yeah. President, we can do this.

All right, Blake, there is your news. The Dumb Zone News. Like and subscribe. Bring us home, Blake. The Dumb Zone presents Today in History.

Oh no, that's too loud, isn't it? Y'all's graphics game is really elevated. Nice work, whoever's doing that. I got a guy. Today's Thursday, August 22nd, the 235th day of the year. There are 131 days left on this day. In 1787, inventor John Fitch demonstrated his steamboat on the Delaware River to delegates from the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia.

How are steamboats? Hey fellas, I got this boat. Pop on? No, it doesn't run on coal. It's about steam. This is witchcraft. Or does it run on wind? about steam. This is witchcraft. Or does it run on wind? Wind, darling. I think he did that bit the other night again. Did he? I think so.

Have you heard Trump's wind, darling bit? No. He is sort of against solar panels and against wind power. Right. So he'll have to remind you that, you know, hey, if it gets dark, he has no concept of understanding how either of these pieces of technology work.

Wind, wind, wind. But he'll tell people in the crowd, you know, they think that these windmills are great. They think that it's going to be great for them but then you know when there's no wind you know and your your wife comes to you and says you know honey i want to watch president trump tonight uh-huh and he says there's no wind darling there's no wind he also has a long bit of about uh how they're killing all the birds windmills I don't know never heard so much malarkey my whole life Russia we're also in it you think Russia's happy about this I don't think so you know Hillary want to put windmills all over

the place let's put up some windmills when the wind doesn't blow just turn off the television darling no wind out today there's no wind please turn off the television quickly put the windmills up and watch the value of your house if you're in sight of a windmill watch the value of your house go down by 65 percent wow how did he come up with these figures and solar is wonderful too but it's not strong enough. And it's very, very expensive. He sounds winded, no pun intended. Shout out to John Fitch. So if it's in your field division, a windmill,

you can immediately watch the value of your home plummet by 65%. Are you a real estate mogul? I am not. No. No. I've never run a successful airline or a college. Or sold steaks. Uh-uh.

Have a good time with your Bitcoin and your crypto. Have a good time with it. In 1989, Nolan Ryan of the Texas Rangers becomes the first pitcher to strike out 5,000 batters in a 2-0 loss to the Oakland A's. How did he have to go through the lineup that many times if it was a 2-0 loss? You're saying he got 5,000 strikeouts in one game? I'm just saying you said he became the first pitcher to strike out 5,000 batters in a 2-0 loss to the Oakland A's. I'm reading the script.

Strike out 5,000 batters in a career. Oh, to the Oakland A's. I'm reading the script. Strikeout 5,000 batters in a career. Oh, my arm. I think I can do one more. In the 700th inning. It's 0-0 to the 700th. Three strikes in a strikeout. His pitch count would have been minimum

15,000. Look, we've all heard this story. And you know he was walking people. Oh, yeah. He had a bit of a command issue as well. Nolan struck out 5,000 yesterday. Two days later, on two days rest, went and threw like eight innings.

Oh, man. More Rangers news on this day. In 2007, I think I've heard Danny talk about this game a lot. The Texas Rangers beat the Baltimore Orioles 30-3. this day in 2007. I think I've heard Danny talk about this game a lot. The Texas Rangers beat the Baltimore Orioles 30-3. Considered the only game in the modern era that a team reached 30 runs in a game. And then what year was that? 07.

07. Yeah, the game that I referenced, I believe believe was the 26 to 7 game and that was i think in like 95 that i was at i wasn't at the 30 to 3 game the 30 to 3 game is famous blake because uh that day bob had gone on a rant that the r Rangers needed to move on from hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo. Okay. And he was like, look, and he was right, by the way. Everything that he had said was right. Like, they were not getting better. Rudy's message was tired.

And that night on the top ten, during the replay of Bob's segment about how they needed to fire their hitting coach, the ticker guy broke in, like hit the breaking news sounder, to cut Bob off from saying the Rangers have no offense to report that they had just scored their 30th run. That's awesome. And Dan jumped all over that. No way. It was awesome.

The guy was laughing because he had heard what was just playing and he's like, a major league record? That was great. That's amazing. Weddings on this day, cinematographer Horst Kettner

married his longtime girlfriend. Kettner, 59. His girlfriend, Lena Reifenstahl. Reifenstahl. Reifenstahl. Right. 101. Ah. 101.

Ah. Damn. His girlfriend? A 42-year age difference between the two. What are you doing marrying a- It's Lenny Reifenthal, right? I've heard of her. 101-year-old.

She was very famous, but yeah. I guess true love? What's that wedding night like? Here's a note. This is probably why I know her. She was German. And in World War II, Adolf Hitler closely collaborated with her

during the production of at least three Nazi films. And they were friendly. And I gotta be honest, in her day, setting aside the Nazi thing. Birthdays today, former Cowboys coach Bill Parcells is 83. Jeez, man. You are what your record is.

What an era. Of Cowboys football? It's such the dark ages of football. The last 30 years of this franchise. Yeah, Campo is super dark ages. Marcellus was at least fun. Chan Gailey is dark. I've tried to find

this audio and I don't even think anybody involved remembers it, but it's one of the five times I've laughed the hardest. The five funniest things I ever heard on the radio. It was at Cowboys training camp. Hell, Rob might have been there. Corby had a bit of trying to see if he could throw a football to Bill Parcells,

and he had obtained one. Yeah, he got a football because we would camp out. I think I was there for that. And we were on the tennis courts, which were buttressed right up against the fence of the practice field. And there's the goal post. I have a picture of it.

Pretty frequent. Do you really? I snapped a picture of Parcells catching the football. Because Corey had the ball. He caught the ball from a field goal that went over the fence and then he yelled something like, Coach, go long or something like that. He just lobbed it over the fence. Parcells goes,

just throw it over. Corby was like patting the ball. I've got your football. Coach, go long. It was amazing. Your kicker kicked the football. Go long. Bill Parcells. He's not going long. How old was he. He's not going long. How old was he then? 60?

At least. Yeah. 83 today. Just throw it over. So where are we now? It's been, so the Cowboys started in 1960. So they won their fifth Super Bowl in 95. That's a 35-year span for them to win five Super Bowls.

We are now, what, almost 30 years removed from that. So in six years, will it be the same amount of time That's wild to think about. that it took them to become a team and win five Super Bowls. And if they don't do it in the next six years, they will have equaled the time of their existence

up to the point where they won their final Super Bowl. Sounds to me like it's a time to run five out of the next six off and even the score. Mm-hmm. Right, Blake? And what signs are pointing towards that happening? Yeah. Former Cowboy Randall Cobb is 34.

Fun player. Speaking of Cowboys, I saw a thing uh some guy i don't know probably just to get clicks but it didn't i don't know it i didn't immediately dismiss it do you think that this could all be structured the way jerry's doing business right now could be kind of structuring this thing to sell would he sell this team i don't think so but rather than knowing he's nearing the end of his life hand it off to his kids wouldn't he just rather sell it and cut them checks for like here's three billion dollars thanks for being my kid i don't think so but i know why that guy is using that logic because this is something we've talked about they've in the last handful of years spent like the least amount of money right like their cash spending is bottom of the basement like they don't

invest in the team at all which is part of the reason why they don't you know go after free agents or whatever is they don't want to have a situation where three or four years from now they're out a bunch of money and still not, maybe even worse. Just because he loves business so much that I think he would think that it's a better part of his legacy to have sold the Cowboys at the highest value of in the history of the world of a sports team you know because what could you what could you get for the Cowboys right now if you sold it out right when you're talking about the arena the parking all of it 20 billion yeah you'd have to think at least right 20 15 to 20 19 21 I don't know. Somewhere around there, though, which would eclipse any other team sale that's happened in recent history.

I don't know. We've gotten emails from people. The Cowboys are just the front porch to his corporation. The Cowboys make him money that he uses in business. He's way more into common stock. He's not an NFL owner. Yeah. That he uses in business.

He doesn't. He's way more into common stock. He's not an NFL owner. Yeah. And speaking of guys who email us, somebody was like, dude, if anybody else was the CEO of this company, I think it's the CEO and the CFO, he's like, they would have been fired. Same with the GM. Their returns are terrible. No, in the last, was it two years, ten years?

It's a minus 91% return. Oh, my God. It's really bad. Former TCU quarterback Trevon boykin is 31 he uh wrecked into concrete cowboy yeah west west mesquite grad too i believe do you remember that blake oh i remember he was awesome at tcu then went to seattle and just kept getting in trouble yeah but i'm pretty sure isn't that the the name of that place that was real douchey and they would get in trouble for dress codes?

Yeah, down there on Turtle Creek? Yeah, yeah. Adam Thielen is 34. Discriminating with their dress codes. Who? Adam Thielen? Love him. Still in Carolina.

Our war game battle today. Are you familiar with this? No. This is the Dan and Blake bit. So I just kind of sit it out. We just like to look at baseball reference in the birthdays of the day and sort by war.

If you'd like to take a guess, the top two today, Carl Yastrzemski is 85 and Paul Molitor is 68. Ooh, that's a good one actually. I'm going to go Molitor. Molitor's war career, 75.6. Yastrzemski, 96.5.

He is today's war leader. Couple Hall of Famers right there. And Yastrzemski's like top 20, I think, at 96. Babe Ruth is at 180. Like, not even close. Yeah, far and away. I think Walter Johnson is 20 behind him or something like that. LaMelo Ball is 23. Max Crosby is 26. Collieville Heritage. He's crazy.

I like him quite a bit, though. Comedian slash actor Kristen Wigg is 51. I'm kind of go back and forth on her. She was really funny in Bridesmaids. But everything else... She was a great cast member too. SNL. Yeah, fantastic.

Versatile. Could do it all. David Chase. Writer of Sopranos is 79. Talk show host James Cordenen is 46 the worst the absolute worst never liked his bit worse than fallon oh that's a good question it's a good question speaking of fallon we never got to that news i might put corden's interview skills up against fallon's. Yeah, but I do think Fallon, while fake on the air, I get the

sense he's a decent person. I'm not sure, but I know James Corden got out of being a real asshole. Yeah, I heard that too. It was like a restaurant story where he just kept sending his food back and then they banned him for like two days from Balthazar.

Did you have something on Chase? Maybe tomorrow. I'll be back tomorrow filling in for Dan. There's a Sopranos documentary that's about to come out in early September that looks boffo. I want to talk about that tomorrow for sure. Jake Dua Lipa is 29. Camden. She's fantastic. Sheden. She's fantastic.
